Allen Jackson NOW | Scott Brown: Reflection on Mainstream Media | Allen Jackson Now | November 26, 2024
  • Good evening.
  • 00:00:04.186 --> 00:00:05.187
  • I'm alan jackson, and welcome to nashville.
  • 00:00:05.187 --> 00:00:07.389
  • It was back in 1943 when an editorial page writer
  • 00:00:07.389 --> 00:00:10.926
  • For the washington post
  • 00:00:10.926 --> 00:00:12.494
  • Wrote, news is only the first rough draft of history.
  • 00:00:12.494 --> 00:00:16.064
  • Well, i didn't know until i looked it up
  • 00:00:16.064 --> 00:00:17.599
  • That the quote included the word only,
  • 00:00:17.599 --> 00:00:20.368
  • Though i was well aware that it was always
  • 00:00:20.368 --> 00:00:22.070
  • Going to be a rough draft.
  • 00:00:22.070 --> 00:00:23.638
  • Well, now that the news about the election
  • 00:00:23.638 --> 00:00:25.307
  • Has had time to marinate, it's become more and more clear
  • 00:00:25.307 --> 00:00:28.210
  • That we've all been subject to not just a rough draft,
  • 00:00:28.210 --> 00:00:31.213
  • But a very dishonest draft.
  • 00:00:31.213 --> 00:00:33.181
  • The newspapers used to present the news clearly, page
  • 00:00:33.181 --> 00:00:35.917
  • After page, before they got to the editorial page,
  • 00:00:35.917 --> 00:00:39.354
  • Fact filled stories followed by opinions.
  • 00:00:39.354 --> 00:00:42.324
  • But somewhere along the line, the whole thing became opinions.
  • 00:00:42.324 --> 00:00:45.527
  • Well, compounding the problem
  • 00:00:45.527 --> 00:00:46.895
  • Was that we started
  • 00:00:46.895 --> 00:00:47.929
  • Drowning in this first rough draft of history.
  • 00:00:47.929 --> 00:00:50.765
  • It smothers
  • 00:00:50.765 --> 00:00:51.666
  • The country every day because the news
  • 00:00:51.666 --> 00:00:53.535
  • Is in the palm of everyone's hands.
  • 00:00:53.535 --> 00:00:55.504
  • 24 hours a day.
  • 00:00:55.504 --> 00:00:57.405
  • Thousands of sites that claim they're presenting the news,
  • 00:00:57.405 --> 00:01:00.509
  • Whether they have any honest reporters on the payroll or not.
  • 00:01:00.509 --> 00:01:03.512
  • It's big business, and it's a deafening echo
  • 00:01:03.512 --> 00:01:05.981
  • Chamber of a lot of false information,
  • 00:01:05.981 --> 00:01:08.283
  • Which all helps explain what we've been hearing
  • 00:01:09.217 --> 00:01:11.186
  • Since november the 5th, that the red wave and the return
  • 00:01:11.186 --> 00:01:14.322
  • Of donald trump to washington was a surprise.
  • 00:01:14.322 --> 00:01:17.425
  • Well, it's only a surprise if you've been a victim
  • 00:01:17.425 --> 00:01:19.528
  • Of hearing the roughest first draft of history,
  • 00:01:19.528 --> 00:01:22.164
  • One that bore little resemblance
  • 00:01:22.164 --> 00:01:23.565
  • To the country we actually live in.
  • 00:01:23.565 --> 00:01:25.934
  • But this november, more than half
  • 00:01:25.934 --> 00:01:27.602
  • The people who voted could see with their own eyes
  • 00:01:27.602 --> 00:01:30.338
  • That an open border that let criminals in unchecked
  • 00:01:30.338 --> 00:01:33.341
  • Was not working.
  • 00:01:33.341 --> 00:01:34.976
  • They could see that
  • 00:01:34.976 --> 00:01:36.178
  • Despite white house claims that inflation was slowing down,
  • 00:01:36.178 --> 00:01:38.713
  • They were still paying
  • 00:01:38.713 --> 00:01:39.915
  • A ridiculous amount of money for milk, eggs and gasoline.
  • 00:01:39.915 --> 00:01:42.951
  • They could see what hamas did.
  • 00:01:42.951 --> 00:01:44.452
  • Innocent israeli women and men
  • 00:01:44.452 --> 00:01:46.321
  • Who were trying to just enjoy an afternoon concert outdoors,
  • 00:01:46.321 --> 00:01:50.125
  • And they could see that donald trump was not at all
  • 00:01:50.125 --> 00:01:52.661
  • Like hitler.
  • 00:01:52.661 --> 00:01:53.695
  • It's not that the media decided
  • 00:01:54.329 --> 00:01:55.597
  • To simply use those examples to drive up their own traffic,
  • 00:01:55.597 --> 00:01:58.900
  • But when the false claims were made,
  • 00:01:58.900 --> 00:02:01.036
  • They did none of what an honest media used to do,
  • 00:02:01.036 --> 00:02:03.705
  • Which was to find the facts,
  • 00:02:03.705 --> 00:02:05.507
  • The full story, and then tell the truth.
  • 00:02:05.507 --> 00:02:08.710
  • Look, i'm not a journalist, as you know, i'm a pastor,
  • 00:02:08.710 --> 00:02:11.713
  • And in my line of work,
  • 00:02:11.713 --> 00:02:12.914
  • We tend to rely on passages from the bible.
  • 00:02:12.914 --> 00:02:16.051
  • John 832 says, you'll know the truth
  • 00:02:16.051 --> 00:02:17.953
  • And the truth will set you free.
  • 00:02:17.953 --> 00:02:19.955
  • I believe that's what we're seeing now.
  • 00:02:19.955 --> 00:02:22.190
  • That's what i'm hearing.
  • 00:02:22.190 --> 00:02:23.325
  • It's less
  • 00:02:23.325 --> 00:02:23.925
  • About who actually won,
  • 00:02:23.925 --> 00:02:25.093
  • And it's a lot more about being set free.
  • 00:02:25.093 --> 00:02:27.929
  • Which brings me to our first guest tonight.
  • 00:02:27.929 --> 00:02:30.498
  • He's a regular on our show.
  • 00:02:30.498 --> 00:02:32.067
  • And outside of being a very effective
  • 00:02:32.067 --> 00:02:33.668
  • Politician, ambassador and serviceman for our country.
  • 00:02:33.668 --> 00:02:37.606
  • He's always been a truth teller.
  • 00:02:37.606 --> 00:02:39.507
  • Scott brown, it's nice to have you back on
  • 00:02:39.507 --> 00:02:41.443
  • For this thanksgiving week program.
  • 00:02:41.443 --> 00:02:43.845
  • Yes, allan, same to you and obviously your family and
  • 00:02:43.845 --> 00:02:47.315
  • And everybody. listen, have a great thanksgiving.
  • 00:02:47.315 --> 00:02:49.584
  • If i forget to say it at the end.
  • 00:02:49.584 --> 00:02:52.020
  • Well, you've
  • 00:02:52.354 --> 00:02:53.455
  • Been witnessing this post-election supposed surprise
  • 00:02:53.455 --> 00:02:57.225
  • That if my recollection is correct,
  • 00:02:57.225 --> 00:02:58.994
  • You felt it was coming even up in the northeast.
  • 00:02:58.994 --> 00:03:01.997
  • But like a lot of people, you felt
  • 00:03:01.997 --> 00:03:03.498
  • It was far more than you ever read about
  • 00:03:03.498 --> 00:03:05.567
  • Any sort of movement where people would just
  • 00:03:05.567 --> 00:03:08.069
  • Shrug off what they were hearing,
  • 00:03:08.069 --> 00:03:09.404
  • Grab the reins and start driving forward in an honest manner.
  • 00:03:09.404 --> 00:03:13.241
  • I mean, it's a surprise, i think, at least to the elite
  • 00:03:13.241 --> 00:03:16.378
  • Folks in that corridor somewhere that controlled the news.
  • 00:03:16.378 --> 00:03:20.649
  • Well, i think they had their heads
  • 00:03:21.416 --> 00:03:23.218
  • Under a rock,
  • 00:03:23.218 --> 00:03:23.918
  • Because if you are out there,
  • 00:03:23.918 --> 00:03:25.453
  • Out and about, i'll never forget i was watching.
  • 00:03:25.453 --> 00:03:27.822
  • I don't know why.
  • 00:03:27.822 --> 00:03:29.190
  • Joe scarborough,
  • 00:03:29.190 --> 00:03:30.292
  • When he was saying, well, butter's over $7 a box.
  • 00:03:30.292 --> 00:03:34.029
  • Like, yeah, dude, go.
  • 00:03:34.029 --> 00:03:35.664
  • Go out and shop. stop living in your ivory tower.
  • 00:03:35.664 --> 00:03:38.633
  • And that's what a lot of those folks are doing.
  • 00:03:38.633 --> 00:03:40.602
  • You know, they're not
  • 00:03:40.602 --> 00:03:41.503
  • They're not
  • 00:03:41.503 --> 00:03:42.637
  • Having to live paycheck to paycheck and worrying about,
  • 00:03:42.637 --> 00:03:45.140
  • You know, having their kids raped or murdered
  • 00:03:45.140 --> 00:03:47.676
  • By people that are supposed to not even be here,
  • 00:03:47.676 --> 00:03:50.845
  • Or whether their taxes are going up
  • 00:03:50.845 --> 00:03:52.514
  • Because their cities or states are paying billions
  • 00:03:52.514 --> 00:03:55.150
  • And billions of dollars
  • 00:03:55.150 --> 00:03:56.384
  • To house people and hotels, displacing veterans and others.
  • 00:03:56.384 --> 00:03:59.387
  • Unless you live under a rock, it was.
  • 00:03:59.387 --> 00:04:01.256
  • It's common sense. yes.
  • 00:04:01.256 --> 00:04:02.457
  • I thought he was going to win.
  • 00:04:02.457 --> 00:04:04.426
  • I'll be honest, i did not think he would win the popular vote.
  • 00:04:04.426 --> 00:04:07.062
  • But he has.
  • 00:04:07.062 --> 00:04:08.096
  • And he has a mandate to house the senate.
  • 00:04:08.096 --> 00:04:10.765
  • And he had coattails in new hampshire.
  • 00:04:10.765 --> 00:04:12.434
  • There was a we have a republican governor
  • 00:04:12.434 --> 00:04:15.203
  • House-senate executive council
  • 00:04:15.203 --> 00:04:16.905
  • By numbers that were even greate
  • 00:04:16.905 --> 00:04:21.710
  • Well, the new
  • 00:04:22.077 --> 00:04:23.011
  • York times did a front page story this week
  • 00:04:23.011 --> 00:04:25.513
  • On how much, to their surprise, trump got 30% of the voters
  • 00:04:25.513 --> 00:04:29.084
  • In manhattan,
  • 00:04:29.084 --> 00:04:30.418
  • A liberal stronghold in a place
  • 00:04:30.418 --> 00:04:32.087
  • Where they have a lot of subscribers.
  • 00:04:32.087 --> 00:04:34.422
  • It read like a public confession about how the grand old paper
  • 00:04:34.422 --> 00:04:37.625
  • Missed the story.
  • 00:04:37.625 --> 00:04:39.361
  • Well, they don't change direction overnight,
  • 00:04:39.361 --> 00:04:41.029
  • But one of their reporters was on the air
  • 00:04:41.029 --> 00:04:43.431
  • Taking note of how trump went around them.
  • 00:04:43.431 --> 00:04:45.967
  • Imagine that he ignored the times
  • 00:04:45.967 --> 00:04:48.103
  • And went with some of the news media.
  • 00:04:48.103 --> 00:04:50.205
  • That was more of a direct line to viewers without the filters.
  • 00:04:50.205 --> 00:04:54.209
  • Listen to reporter lulu garcia-navarro
  • 00:04:54.209 --> 00:04:56.678
  • Commenting on trump's cabinet picks.
  • 00:04:56.678 --> 00:04:59.047
  • He thinks that that is why he won the election,
  • 00:04:59.047 --> 00:05:01.683
  • That he was able to kind of dominate
  • 00:05:01.683 --> 00:05:03.318
  • The new media game, that he was really able to
  • 00:05:03.318 --> 00:05:06.287
  • Penetrate parts of the country that were not penetrated before.
  • 00:05:06.287 --> 00:05:10.024
  • And i think that
  • 00:05:10.024 --> 00:05:11.259
  • He believes that these people are going to be able to do that.
  • 00:05:11.259 --> 00:05:14.496
  • And again, he's planning on radically remaking government.
  • 00:05:14.496 --> 00:05:17.766
  • And so he's going to need spokespeople
  • 00:05:17.766 --> 00:05:20.068
  • To sell that to the american people.
  • 00:05:20.068 --> 00:05:21.703
  • So maybe he's right in choosing these people.
  • 00:05:21.703 --> 00:05:24.406
  • Scott, did you notice how she said, maybe he's right?
  • 00:05:24.406 --> 00:05:28.309
  • Of course he's right.
  • 00:05:28.810 --> 00:05:30.345
  • Alan.
  • 00:05:30.345 --> 00:05:31.146
  • And listen is just another example
  • 00:05:31.146 --> 00:05:32.547
  • Of the mainstream media being out of touch with reality.
  • 00:05:32.547 --> 00:05:35.583
  • I even read the new york times and got at least a decade,
  • 00:05:35.583 --> 00:05:39.120
  • At least a decade, because i don't trust it ignored.
  • 00:05:39.120 --> 00:05:42.457
  • And a lot of folks don't trust the mainstream media anymore.
  • 00:05:42.457 --> 00:05:45.427
  • I mean, walter cronkite, he was the last guy
  • 00:05:45.427 --> 00:05:48.329
  • I think, that people really trusted.
  • 00:05:48.329 --> 00:05:49.664
  • And he was like a he was like a liberal.
  • 00:05:49.664 --> 00:05:52.333
  • But he told it.
  • 00:05:52.333 --> 00:05:53.368
  • He kept it, you know, very, very plain, spoke
  • 00:05:53.368 --> 00:05:55.437
  • Plain english, told us the facts
  • 00:05:55.437 --> 00:05:57.539
  • And let us make our own decisions.
  • 00:05:57.539 --> 00:05:59.274
  • And a lot of the all the new multimedia sources listen,
  • 00:05:59.274 --> 00:06:03.311
  • They're doing real
  • 00:06:03.311 --> 00:06:04.412
  • When you have the president sit down for three hour
  • 00:06:04.412 --> 00:06:05.914
  • Interviews, you know, no whole vibe with joe rogan,
  • 00:06:05.914 --> 00:06:08.817
  • You know, that matters.
  • 00:06:08.817 --> 00:06:09.918
  • He's going, basically behind their back
  • 00:06:09.918 --> 00:06:12.620
  • And trying to reach out to people that otherwise
  • 00:06:12.620 --> 00:06:15.023
  • Are disenfranchized by the mainstream media.
  • 00:06:15.023 --> 00:06:17.659
  • It's pretty simple.
  • 00:06:17.659 --> 00:06:18.893
  • It makes makes total sense to me that people don't trust him.
  • 00:06:18.893 --> 00:06:21.896
  • Well, another big example of where some of the newsmakers
  • 00:06:21.896 --> 00:06:24.499
  • And their media puppets got it wrong
  • 00:06:24.499 --> 00:06:26.501
  • Was what's become known as lawfare.
  • 00:06:26.501 --> 00:06:28.736
  • They all apparently thought that if
  • 00:06:28.736 --> 00:06:30.038
  • They could spend this past year dragging mr.
  • 00:06:30.038 --> 00:06:31.906
  • Trump into court,
  • 00:06:31.906 --> 00:06:33.041
  • They could scare voters into thinking
  • 00:06:33.041 --> 00:06:34.709
  • That they were about to elect a criminal.
  • 00:06:34.709 --> 00:06:37.011
  • When, typical tom fashion, he posed for his booking photo
  • 00:06:37.011 --> 00:06:41.282
  • And then t shirts were proudly sold as he and his attorneys
  • 00:06:41.282 --> 00:06:45.253
  • Got the actual truth and the real law is out on the table.
  • 00:06:45.253 --> 00:06:48.423
  • Prosecutor jack smith
  • 00:06:48.423 --> 00:06:49.524
  • Just shut down his case, and he left the media
  • 00:06:49.524 --> 00:06:51.459
  • With his legal tail between his legs.
  • 00:06:51.459 --> 00:06:53.995
  • Am i right?
  • 00:06:53.995 --> 00:06:55.196
  • And reading it that way, it looks like a colossal failure.
  • 00:06:55.196 --> 00:06:57.499
  • Yeah. of course.
  • 00:06:57.499 --> 00:06:58.666
  • I told it we talked to way back when i thought that case
  • 00:06:58.666 --> 00:07:01.569
  • In particular,
  • 00:07:01.569 --> 00:07:02.604
  • The one in new york that allen bragg brought,
  • 00:07:02.604 --> 00:07:04.839
  • Was basically something a new law that they've created,
  • 00:07:04.839 --> 00:07:08.643
  • A new, a new, legal theory just to basically go
  • 00:07:08.643 --> 00:07:12.447
  • After the president.
  • 00:07:12.447 --> 00:07:13.448
  • I thought it was always going to be reversed.
  • 00:07:13.448 --> 00:07:15.650
  • And the one with the documents case.
  • 00:07:15.650 --> 00:07:17.485
  • Listen, i know as a former u.s.
  • 00:07:17.485 --> 00:07:19.687
  • Senator, ambassador and military person,
  • 00:07:19.687 --> 00:07:22.123
  • What you do and do not bring back.
  • 00:07:22.123 --> 00:07:24.058
  • Now, the difference between president trump is
  • 00:07:24.058 --> 00:07:25.693
  • He had those things in secured areas.
  • 00:07:25.693 --> 00:07:27.896
  • He it was in mar-a-lago secured with the secret service
  • 00:07:27.896 --> 00:07:31.666
  • In the area.
  • 00:07:31.666 --> 00:07:32.600
  • And it turns out that some of that stuff
  • 00:07:32.600 --> 00:07:34.135
  • Was not even top secret or secret.
  • 00:07:34.135 --> 00:07:35.937
  • It was personal belongings.
  • 00:07:35.937 --> 00:07:37.438
  • But joe biden, leaving him in an unsecured,
  • 00:07:37.438 --> 00:07:40.408
  • Area in his garage next to his corvette
  • 00:07:40.408 --> 00:07:43.711
  • And then other places.
  • 00:07:43.711 --> 00:07:45.246
  • That's just two different animals there, there.
  • 00:07:45.246 --> 00:07:49.417
  • Biden should have been subjected to the same interrogation
  • 00:07:49.417 --> 00:07:52.720
  • And the same laws as president trump.
  • 00:07:52.720 --> 00:07:55.156
  • And they didn't.
  • 00:07:55.156 --> 00:07:56.157
  • So, you know, the lawfare is real.
  • 00:07:56.157 --> 00:07:57.992
  • It's happening. and and,
  • 00:07:57.992 --> 00:08:00.061
  • I think it's working out well in terms of stopping.
  • 00:08:00.061 --> 00:08:03.331
  • Well scott brown, stay with us.
  • 00:08:03.965 --> 00:08:05.767
  • We'll be back and we'll move to what's ahead here at home.
  • 00:08:05.767 --> 00:08:08.169
  • When we come back.
  • 00:08:08.169 --> 00:08:14.991
  • When we come back.
  • 00:08:14.991 --> 00:08:15.237
  • Welcome back to this pre thanksgiving program.
  • 00:08:16.138 --> 00:08:18.874
  • Scott brown is our guest.
  • 00:08:18.874 --> 00:08:20.275
  • And i would like to ask that
  • 00:08:20.275 --> 00:08:21.443
  • He put his former ambassador hat on for just a moment.
  • 00:08:21.443 --> 00:08:25.047
  • The president elect is coming out swinging.
  • 00:08:25.047 --> 00:08:27.749
  • He's just all the leaders of mexico and canada
  • 00:08:27.749 --> 00:08:29.918
  • That they don't stop migrants from entering the u.s.
  • 00:08:29.918 --> 00:08:32.454
  • Without being stopped. he'll
  • 00:08:32.454 --> 00:08:34.222
  • Add 25% tariffs on all goods coming from both countries.
  • 00:08:34.222 --> 00:08:37.559
  • He's also told china
  • 00:08:38.026 --> 00:08:39.161
  • That they'll face a 10% additional tariff
  • 00:08:39.161 --> 00:08:41.029
  • If they don't start regulating the chemicals
  • 00:08:41.029 --> 00:08:43.332
  • That go into fentanyl.
  • 00:08:43.332 --> 00:08:45.133
  • Is this mr.
  • 00:08:45.133 --> 00:08:45.701
  • Trump negotiating,
  • 00:08:45.701 --> 00:08:46.702
  • Or is he
  • 00:08:46.702 --> 00:08:47.369
  • Getting ready to play hardball
  • 00:08:47.369 --> 00:08:48.303
  • With all three of these countries?
  • 00:08:48.303 --> 00:08:50.872
  • Well, i'm putting that cap on.
  • 00:08:50.872 --> 00:08:52.074
  • And yes, he's playing hardball and he's negotiating,
  • 00:08:52.074 --> 00:08:55.877
  • Because what's happening with china
  • 00:08:55.877 --> 00:08:57.846
  • And the fentanyl is they're obviously doing it on purpose.
  • 00:08:57.846 --> 00:09:00.916
  • What's happening in obviously, mexico with no stoppage
  • 00:09:00.916 --> 00:09:04.853
  • Of any kind whatsoever.
  • 00:09:04.853 --> 00:09:06.221
  • Just going to re-implement the border
  • 00:09:06.221 --> 00:09:07.823
  • Patrol council, want the stay in mexico policy.
  • 00:09:07.823 --> 00:09:10.892
  • And then what's happening in canada?
  • 00:09:10.892 --> 00:09:12.594
  • You need to stop them coming in there.
  • 00:09:12.594 --> 00:09:14.363
  • We have a northern border
  • 00:09:14.363 --> 00:09:15.897
  • And they're coming in from, up in our state as well.
  • 00:09:15.897 --> 00:09:18.900
  • So it's just needs to stop.
  • 00:09:18.900 --> 00:09:20.402
  • And there's they're smart.
  • 00:09:20.402 --> 00:09:22.571
  • They're obviously starting to obviously respond.
  • 00:09:22.571 --> 00:09:25.641
  • It's a no brainer.
  • 00:09:25.641 --> 00:09:26.842
  • I mean, i don't understand what the complications are.
  • 00:09:26.842 --> 00:09:29.678
  • Just keep your people out of our country.
  • 00:09:29.678 --> 00:09:31.680
  • Follow the law properly
  • 00:09:31.680 --> 00:09:33.482
  • Because it's an injustice for people who have follow the law.
  • 00:09:33.482 --> 00:09:36.418
  • A lot of the people that are here legally, they resent.
  • 00:09:36.418 --> 00:09:39.688
  • And you saw that in the boat.
  • 00:09:39.688 --> 00:09:41.189
  • So yeah, he's obviously doing both and good for him.
  • 00:09:41.189 --> 00:09:44.292
  • I think it's about time. certainly.
  • 00:09:44.292 --> 00:09:46.662
  • Well, the team around
  • 00:09:47.162 --> 00:09:48.363
  • President elect trump has been put together in record time.
  • 00:09:48.363 --> 00:09:50.999
  • And that's a good thing
  • 00:09:50.999 --> 00:09:52.267
  • Because some of the world's hotspots
  • 00:09:52.267 --> 00:09:53.769
  • Appear to be getting evermore threatening.
  • 00:09:53.769 --> 00:09:56.338
  • I'd like you to put your former ambassador self into this
  • 00:09:56.338 --> 00:09:59.541
  • For a moment, and keep in mind that we still have very weakened
  • 00:09:59.541 --> 00:10:02.878
  • Foreign policy leadership in place for now,
  • 00:10:02.878 --> 00:10:05.514
  • For reasons that are very unclear,
  • 00:10:05.514 --> 00:10:07.082
  • President biden approved long range missiles for ukraine
  • 00:10:07.082 --> 00:10:10.852
  • And then putin fired off a long range missile of his own.
  • 00:10:10.852 --> 00:10:13.822
  • Trump says he'd like to end that war in short order
  • 00:10:13.822 --> 00:10:16.992
  • Well, if you listen to the ukraine president,
  • 00:10:16.992 --> 00:10:18.627
  • He seems to think that between current u.s.
  • 00:10:18.627 --> 00:10:20.696
  • Aid and trump's determination that could happen.
  • 00:10:20.696 --> 00:10:24.433
  • The situation on the battlefield creates an opportunity
  • 00:10:24.433 --> 00:10:27.836
  • To make this choice
  • 00:10:27.836 --> 00:10:29.171
  • A choice for decisive action to end the war.
  • 00:10:29.171 --> 00:10:33.475
  • No later than in 2025.
  • 00:10:33.475 --> 00:10:36.211
  • And we are counting on president biden's leadership.
  • 00:10:36.211 --> 00:10:39.748
  • We rely on the strong and wise steps of britain, france,
  • 00:10:39.748 --> 00:10:44.920
  • Germany and italy to bring security and peace to europe.
  • 00:10:44.920 --> 00:10:50.959
  • Well, first of all,
  • 00:10:51.426 --> 00:10:53.195
  • Let me just say,
  • 00:10:53.195 --> 00:10:56.031
  • You know, the gravy train in ukraine
  • 00:10:56.031 --> 00:10:57.766
  • Is going to stop pretty soon.
  • 00:10:57.766 --> 00:10:59.434
  • And because we can't keep funding
  • 00:10:59.434 --> 00:11:02.738
  • Them until, you know, the end of time,
  • 00:11:02.738 --> 00:11:06.108
  • And what biden is doing, allowing the use of long range
  • 00:11:06.108 --> 00:11:09.478
  • Missiles, i believe he's putting us
  • 00:11:09.478 --> 00:11:11.379
  • Towards the precipice of a world war.
  • 00:11:11.379 --> 00:11:13.582
  • I think it's unconscionable.
  • 00:11:13.582 --> 00:11:14.883
  • And i have encouraged
  • 00:11:14.883 --> 00:11:16.218
  • And i hope president trump's watching this,
  • 00:11:16.218 --> 00:11:18.487
  • Him to immediately call biden and say stop and immediately
  • 00:11:18.487 --> 00:11:22.524
  • Close the border and stop
  • 00:11:22.524 --> 00:11:24.359
  • Letting people come in here illegally
  • 00:11:24.359 --> 00:11:26.128
  • Because i'm going to clean this mess up
  • 00:11:26.128 --> 00:11:28.163
  • And i'm going to blame you for everything.
  • 00:11:28.163 --> 00:11:30.065
  • So biden has a legacy he's trying to protect,
  • 00:11:30.065 --> 00:11:33.001
  • And he's certainly not doing a good job
  • 00:11:33.001 --> 00:11:35.470
  • On his foreign policy decisions that our national security
  • 00:11:35.470 --> 00:11:38.306
  • Decisions are dangerous to criminal,
  • 00:11:38.306 --> 00:11:40.542
  • And they're going to hurt a lot of people.
  • 00:11:40.542 --> 00:11:42.511
  • Let's turn the page to the issues around israel.
  • 00:11:43.512 --> 00:11:46.281
  • There are still hostages being held in those dark tunnels
  • 00:11:46.281 --> 00:11:49.317
  • In gaza.
  • 00:11:49.584 --> 00:11:51.086
  • Should we imagine another response
  • 00:11:51.086 --> 00:11:53.321
  • Like we saw before reagan got to the white house?
  • 00:11:53.321 --> 00:11:55.457
  • Or should we imagine that
  • 00:11:55.457 --> 00:11:56.658
  • Those hostages are going to be released?
  • 00:11:56.658 --> 00:11:58.727
  • Can trump impact that?
  • 00:11:58.727 --> 00:12:01.930
  • President trump should once again also say,
  • 00:12:01.930 --> 00:12:04.766
  • Hamas, you better release those hostages like yesterday.
  • 00:12:04.766 --> 00:12:08.470
  • But by by january 20th, they better be back in israel.
  • 00:12:08.470 --> 00:12:13.108
  • Okay. or else.
  • 00:12:13.108 --> 00:12:14.643
  • I think that's the message he needs to send.
  • 00:12:14.643 --> 00:12:16.678
  • And he's doing it a little bit.
  • 00:12:16.678 --> 00:12:17.646
  • Hamas is saying, oh, we want to negotiate.
  • 00:12:17.646 --> 00:12:19.648
  • We want to have a ceasefire. okay, great.
  • 00:12:19.648 --> 00:12:21.817
  • It's pretty simple.
  • 00:12:21.817 --> 00:12:22.617
  • They had this out of all the way.
  • 00:12:22.617 --> 00:12:24.252
  • Just return the hostages,
  • 00:12:24.252 --> 00:12:26.354
  • Return the hostages, move your weapons back and stop.
  • 00:12:26.354 --> 00:12:29.491
  • And they chose not to.
  • 00:12:29.958 --> 00:12:31.159
  • So israel's doing what they're going to do
  • 00:12:31.159 --> 00:12:32.727
  • To protect their sovereignty and their citizens.
  • 00:12:32.727 --> 00:12:34.663
  • I support it 100%.
  • 00:12:34.663 --> 00:12:36.865
  • Well, scott, a minute ago, we were talking about the election.
  • 00:12:38.066 --> 00:12:40.202
  • You said that mr.
  • 00:12:40.202 --> 00:12:40.936
  • Trump had a mandate this time.
  • 00:12:40.936 --> 00:12:44.039
  • I have a question around that.
  • 00:12:44.039 --> 00:12:45.507
  • You served as an ambassador.
  • 00:12:45.507 --> 00:12:46.908
  • You certainly understand the state department very well.
  • 00:12:46.908 --> 00:12:49.845
  • I'm curious. i did a little research.
  • 00:12:49.845 --> 00:12:51.446
  • The state department's workforce includes 13,000
  • 00:12:51.446 --> 00:12:54.850
  • Members of foreign service, 11,000 civil service employees,
  • 00:12:54.850 --> 00:12:59.020
  • Another 45,000 locally employed staff
  • 00:12:59.020 --> 00:13:02.357
  • And more than 270 diplomatic missions worldwide.
  • 00:13:02.357 --> 00:13:05.994
  • If you're counting, that's about 70,000 people that are,
  • 00:13:05.994 --> 00:13:08.530
  • In some way or another, a part of the state department.
  • 00:13:08.530 --> 00:13:12.334
  • To what extent can a new secretary of state
  • 00:13:13.201 --> 00:13:16.538
  • And a new administration really change a behemoth like that?
  • 00:13:16.538 --> 00:13:20.942
  • Or is it just something that happens on the surface?
  • 00:13:20.942 --> 00:13:24.079
  • Well, actually, i thought mike pompeo did a really good job.
  • 00:13:24.079 --> 00:13:26.748
  • He set the tone and i followed it, and so did others.
  • 00:13:26.748 --> 00:13:30.352
  • And i know marco, i've been in touch with them.
  • 00:13:30.352 --> 00:13:32.354
  • I offered to help them in any way, shape or form.
  • 00:13:32.354 --> 00:13:35.290
  • I think he has the ability to do that.
  • 00:13:35.290 --> 00:13:37.559
  • He knows how to get
  • 00:13:37.559 --> 00:13:38.894
  • And find where the skeletons are, certainly.
  • 00:13:38.894 --> 00:13:41.529
  • And they're going to require people to go back to work.
  • 00:13:41.529 --> 00:13:43.832
  • And by that, you have a lot of attrition.
  • 00:13:43.832 --> 00:13:45.667
  • People don't want to come back to work.
  • 00:13:45.667 --> 00:13:46.902
  • They're getting a little lazy.
  • 00:13:46.902 --> 00:13:48.303
  • But i do have a
  • 00:13:48.303 --> 00:13:49.437
  • Tremendous amount of respect for the state department
  • 00:13:49.437 --> 00:13:52.040
  • And a lot of the people that work there,
  • 00:13:52.040 --> 00:13:53.575
  • There's some that basically the time is overdue.
  • 00:13:53.575 --> 00:13:56.144
  • The locally employed,
  • 00:13:56.144 --> 00:13:57.245
  • Employed staff, those are people in another country.
  • 00:13:57.245 --> 00:13:59.581
  • For example, when i was in new zealand,
  • 00:13:59.581 --> 00:14:00.849
  • We had look,
  • 00:14:00.849 --> 00:14:01.850
  • We would hire people
  • 00:14:01.850 --> 00:14:03.118
  • To help do our mission because we can't do it all by ourselves.
  • 00:14:03.118 --> 00:14:06.855
  • The civilian contractors,
  • 00:14:06.855 --> 00:14:08.290
  • They usually have a specialty that they're focusing on.
  • 00:14:08.290 --> 00:14:11.426
  • And, so listen, there is there some waste that can be found?
  • 00:14:11.426 --> 00:14:15.196
  • Absolutely. and, but you just got to do the mission.
  • 00:14:15.196 --> 00:14:17.866
  • What's the mission? and let's go do it.
  • 00:14:17.866 --> 00:14:20.302
  • Well, again, just in practical terms, how long does it take?
  • 00:14:20.302 --> 00:14:22.938
  • I have some friends that they're getting
  • 00:14:22.938 --> 00:14:24.072
  • These appointments to be ambassadors.
  • 00:14:24.072 --> 00:14:26.141
  • Mike huckabee is going to israel with approvals.
  • 00:14:26.141 --> 00:14:29.844
  • How long does that take for them to be put in place
  • 00:14:29.844 --> 00:14:32.047
  • And to really begin to make an impact on the ground?
  • 00:14:32.047 --> 00:14:34.816
  • Well, i reached out to mike as well and offered to help him.
  • 00:14:34.816 --> 00:14:37.652
  • There are some little nuances that he said
  • 00:14:37.652 --> 00:14:39.354
  • He needs to be aware of.
  • 00:14:39.354 --> 00:14:40.689
  • And, yeah, listen to me.
  • 00:14:40.689 --> 00:14:42.557
  • I was out in june, so it took me five months.
  • 00:14:42.557 --> 00:14:45.260
  • I was the second quickest behind israel
  • 00:14:45.260 --> 00:14:47.429
  • By like a couple of weeks in the in the.
  • 00:14:47.429 --> 00:14:49.497
  • I left just to get my last christmas with the family.
  • 00:14:49.497 --> 00:14:52.534
  • So i was one of the longest, maybe the second or third
  • 00:14:52.534 --> 00:14:55.003
  • Longest ambassador under president trump.
  • 00:14:55.003 --> 00:14:56.905
  • And it really comes down to how bad you want it.
  • 00:14:56.905 --> 00:14:59.074
  • I mean, i got everything done and i'd be at a movie theater
  • 00:14:59.074 --> 00:15:02.043
  • In a movie. i get, hey, we missed something.
  • 00:15:02.043 --> 00:15:03.678
  • I said, honey, i got to go
  • 00:15:03.678 --> 00:15:05.013
  • And i go and get it done, like, right then and there.
  • 00:15:05.013 --> 00:15:07.148
  • No delay, no nothing.
  • 00:15:07.148 --> 00:15:08.650
  • And then obviously,
  • 00:15:08.650 --> 00:15:09.684
  • My connections at the senate had passed 94 to 4
  • 00:15:09.684 --> 00:15:12.387
  • And one of the highest, ones in terms of approvals.
  • 00:15:12.387 --> 00:15:15.623
  • I don't think mike's going to have any trouble.
  • 00:15:15.623 --> 00:15:17.359
  • And he's a lovely man, and i think it's an amazing choice.
  • 00:15:17.359 --> 00:15:21.830
  • I'm so proud of him and i hope i hope he does well, i need him
  • 00:15:21.830 --> 00:15:25.767
  • Well.
  • 00:15:26.001 --> 00:15:26.768
  • Again, you've served as a senator
  • 00:15:26.768 --> 00:15:27.702
  • And an ambassador, but i want to be clear,
  • 00:15:27.702 --> 00:15:29.838
  • Because we'll talk about this in the months ahead.
  • 00:15:29.838 --> 00:15:32.340
  • You have a hope that they can
  • 00:15:32.340 --> 00:15:33.708
  • Bring real, meaningful change to this monolith
  • 00:15:33.708 --> 00:15:36.845
  • That is the bureaucracy of washington, dc.
  • 00:15:36.845 --> 00:15:40.281
  • Yeah, of course.
  • 00:15:40.682 --> 00:15:41.483
  • I mean, there's there's automatically,
  • 00:15:41.483 --> 00:15:43.585
  • You know, probably $100 billion just right off the bat.
  • 00:15:43.585 --> 00:15:46.921
  • You can get rid of now, ellen, in the next year they're going
  • 00:15:46.921 --> 00:15:49.891
  • To go 2 trillion us off the top out of the next budget.
  • 00:15:49.891 --> 00:15:54.029
  • I think that's going to be tough
  • 00:15:54.029 --> 00:15:55.663
  • Because there are some things
  • 00:15:55.663 --> 00:15:56.598
  • That are on cruise control. they just
  • 00:15:56.598 --> 00:15:58.533
  • You know, they continuously obviously are paid for.
  • 00:15:58.533 --> 00:16:01.503
  • And we have to kind of look at those things
  • 00:16:01.503 --> 00:16:04.172
  • And see if we can do any consolidation renegotiation.
  • 00:16:04.172 --> 00:16:07.242
  • I try to find a way to do it like we do it in our homes
  • 00:16:07.242 --> 00:16:10.412
  • Refinancing or,
  • 00:16:10.412 --> 00:16:11.746
  • You know, obviously consolidating,
  • 00:16:11.746 --> 00:16:13.548
  • Getting rid of the stuff we don't need.
  • 00:16:13.548 --> 00:16:15.717
  • It's common sense.
  • 00:16:15.717 --> 00:16:16.951
  • It's just be where is common sense now?
  • 00:16:16.951 --> 00:16:19.754
  • And please start using it.
  • 00:16:19.754 --> 00:16:21.022
  • And i think this administration will do it.
  • 00:16:21.022 --> 00:16:22.791
  • They've done a good job picking the cabinet
  • 00:16:22.791 --> 00:16:24.759
  • And the people that want to help.
  • 00:16:24.759 --> 00:16:26.061
  • I'm very excited.
  • 00:16:26.061 --> 00:16:27.862
  • Well, i pray that you're speaking
  • 00:16:27.862 --> 00:16:29.297
  • With the authority of a prophet.
  • 00:16:29.297 --> 00:16:30.765
  • It's going to be interesting to watch.
  • 00:16:30.765 --> 00:16:32.801
  • Scott brown,
  • 00:16:32.801 --> 00:16:33.868
  • Thank you for all your wisdom this election year
  • 00:16:33.868 --> 00:16:35.570
  • And hope you have a nice break
  • 00:16:35.570 --> 00:16:36.638
  • With your family this thanksgiving. amen. amen.
  • 00:16:36.638 --> 00:16:39.207
  • God bless you and everybody listening and watching.
  • 00:16:39.207 --> 00:16:41.443
  • Cheers.
  • 00:16:41.443 --> 00:16:42.811
  • Well,
  • 00:16:42.811 --> 00:16:43.645
  • In a moment i'll have some thoughts
  • 00:16:43.645 --> 00:16:44.679
  • Of my own about where we are this holiday week.
  • 00:16:44.679 --> 00:16:46.848
  • I'll be right back.
  • 00:16:46.848 --> 00:16:55.990
  • I'll be right back.
  • 00:16:55.990 --> 00:16:57.664
  • You know, on a lot of
  • 00:16:58.164 --> 00:16:59.365
  • Occasions, i think christians create a false dichotomy.
  • 00:16:59.365 --> 00:17:02.135
  • This isn't helpful.
  • 00:17:02.135 --> 00:17:03.436
  • I've been asked many times, pastor, do you believe in prayer
  • 00:17:03.436 --> 00:17:06.606
  • Or medicine?
  • 00:17:06.606 --> 00:17:07.507
  • Do you believe in healing or doctors?
  • 00:17:07.507 --> 00:17:09.309
  • Am i answers always the same? yes.
  • 00:17:09.309 --> 00:17:11.978
  • I'm grateful for doctors.
  • 00:17:11.978 --> 00:17:13.313
  • I'm grateful for science
  • 00:17:13.313 --> 00:17:14.481
  • And men and women who spend their lives training
  • 00:17:14.481 --> 00:17:16.583
  • To help us be healthier.
  • 00:17:16.583 --> 00:17:18.318
  • But i also believe my god is a healer.
  • 00:17:18.318 --> 00:17:20.820
  • It's not an either or proposition.
  • 00:17:20.820 --> 00:17:23.323
  • Well, in the current season,
  • 00:17:23.323 --> 00:17:24.457
  • People have been saying to me a lot,
  • 00:17:24.457 --> 00:17:25.358
  • You know,
  • 00:17:25.358 --> 00:17:26.359
  • I can't believe you talk about current events
  • 00:17:26.359 --> 00:17:27.760
  • Or you engage in what's happening
  • 00:17:27.760 --> 00:17:29.529
  • In the political realm.
  • 00:17:29.529 --> 00:17:30.864
  • Don't you pray?
  • 00:17:30.864 --> 00:17:32.232
  • In my answer is yes.
  • 00:17:32.232 --> 00:17:34.234
  • You know, i believe fundamentally
  • 00:17:34.234 --> 00:17:35.602
  • The problems we face are spiritual,
  • 00:17:35.602 --> 00:17:37.770
  • And we have to have spiritual change.
  • 00:17:37.770 --> 00:17:39.639
  • But i believe those changes
  • 00:17:39.639 --> 00:17:40.940
  • Will be reflected in the political arena.
  • 00:17:40.940 --> 00:17:43.243
  • If we're making real changes, we'll see the evidence there.
  • 00:17:43.243 --> 00:17:45.645
  • If there's no change politically,
  • 00:17:45.645 --> 00:17:47.347
  • It's because spiritually there's no change coming.
  • 00:17:47.347 --> 00:17:50.350
  • Matthew 16 jesus said, i'll build
  • 00:17:50.350 --> 00:17:52.118
  • My church and the gates of hades won't overcome it.
  • 00:17:52.118 --> 00:17:55.121
  • Jesus is in the church building business.
  • 00:17:55.121 --> 00:17:57.891
  • That's not about institutions or denominate
  • 00:17:57.891 --> 00:18:00.193
  • Or ecclesiastical architecture.
  • 00:18:00.193 --> 00:18:02.529
  • The church is people from every nation,
  • 00:18:02.529 --> 00:18:04.564
  • Racial, language and tribe
  • 00:18:04.564 --> 00:18:06.566
  • Who have chosen jesus as nazareth, as lord.
  • 00:18:06.566 --> 00:18:09.969
  • Jesus isn't in the business of gathering people
  • 00:18:09.969 --> 00:18:13.039
  • Who will yield to him as lord.
  • 00:18:13.039 --> 00:18:15.241
  • If more of us should do that.
  • 00:18:15.241 --> 00:18:17.110
  • We will see then, those biblical values reflected in the people
  • 00:18:17.110 --> 00:18:20.713
  • Who have leadership in our lives,
  • 00:18:20.713 --> 00:18:22.715
  • In our local communities and our local school boards,
  • 00:18:22.715 --> 00:18:25.585
  • In our states, and even at the national level.
  • 00:18:25.585 --> 00:18:28.821
  • God is busy in the earth.
  • 00:18:28.821 --> 00:18:31.357
  • And rather than sit on our hands and wait for the politicians
  • 00:18:31.357 --> 00:18:34.827
  • To fix our problems.
  • 00:18:34.827 --> 00:18:36.729
  • I think the best path forward is for the people of faith
  • 00:18:36.729 --> 00:18:39.532
  • To become the change.
  • 00:18:39.532 --> 00:18:41.434
  • Stop being angry at what's happening and begin
  • 00:18:41.434 --> 00:18:43.336
  • To say to god, what could you do in my life that would let
  • 00:18:43.336 --> 00:18:46.573
  • Your purposes break forth in this generation?
  • 00:18:46.573 --> 00:18:49.876
  • If we'll do that,
  • 00:18:49.876 --> 00:18:51.110
  • Then i believe we will see change, even in washington, d.c.
  • 00:18:51.110 --> 00:18:54.447
  • And that, i promise you, means there's more reasons for hope
  • 00:18:54.447 --> 00:18:57.550
  • Than despair.
  • 00:18:57.917 --> 00:18:59.085
  • Well, i'll be back with your emails in just a moment.
  • 00:18:59.085 --> 00:19:01.588
  • Stay with us.
  • 00:19:01.588 --> 00:19:07.993
  • Stay with us.
  • 00:19:07.993 --> 00:19:09.264
  • Thank you for taking the time to share your emails with us.
  • 00:19:10.465 --> 00:19:13.368
  • Your thoughts and opinions.
  • 00:19:13.368 --> 00:19:14.603
  • They really make a difference.
  • 00:19:14.603 --> 00:19:16.605
  • Katrina in kentucky writes,
  • 00:19:16.605 --> 00:19:18.006
  • As thanksgiving approaches, i'm concerned.
  • 00:19:18.006 --> 00:19:19.908
  • Knowing our family members are divided on the election.
  • 00:19:19.908 --> 00:19:23.111
  • As the host, i want to lead with my faith at the holiday table,
  • 00:19:23.111 --> 00:19:25.947
  • But i'm unsure what a good first step would be.
  • 00:19:25.947 --> 00:19:29.851
  • Katrina, i don't think you're alone in that.
  • 00:19:29.851 --> 00:19:31.586
  • But the reality is,
  • 00:19:31.586 --> 00:19:32.554
  • Our holiday
  • 00:19:32.554 --> 00:19:33.188
  • Tables are probably divided
  • 00:19:33.188 --> 00:19:34.489
  • By a whole lot more than the election.
  • 00:19:34.489 --> 00:19:37.092
  • But i think a good beginning point
  • 00:19:37.092 --> 00:19:38.560
  • Is something they used to teach us about sportsmanship.
  • 00:19:38.560 --> 00:19:41.596
  • When i was a kid in school, they'd say, when you win,
  • 00:19:41.596 --> 00:19:44.165
  • Do that with dignity.
  • 00:19:44.165 --> 00:19:45.400
  • And when you lose, face that with respect for those who won.
  • 00:19:45.400 --> 00:19:49.070
  • If we can practice that, i think it will help us bring
  • 00:19:49.070 --> 00:19:51.473
  • A bit of unity to our table.
  • 00:19:51.473 --> 00:19:53.275
  • We have bigger issues than political parties.
  • 00:19:53.275 --> 00:19:56.511
  • We want to begin with our faith and work out from there.
  • 00:19:56.511 --> 00:19:58.680
  • We have much to be thankful for.
  • 00:19:58.680 --> 00:20:00.682
  • And at thanksgiving, let's start with that gratitude
  • 00:20:00.682 --> 00:20:03.385
  • Helps us find a bridge to get along with one another.
  • 00:20:03.385 --> 00:20:06.054
  • And finally, jack lewis.
  • 00:20:06.054 --> 00:20:07.422
  • He's the former mayor of haltom city, texas.
  • 00:20:07.422 --> 00:20:11.459
  • Thank you for preaching god's message
  • 00:20:11.459 --> 00:20:13.128
  • To all as we we're at war along with israel.
  • 00:20:13.128 --> 00:20:16.231
  • I hope and pray our new administration
  • 00:20:16.231 --> 00:20:17.766
  • Gets behind israel as they fight for survival.
  • 00:20:17.766 --> 00:20:20.368
  • And i'm praying
  • 00:20:20.368 --> 00:20:21.036
  • That our leaders in the church
  • 00:20:21.036 --> 00:20:22.070
  • World would start a move to unite behind israel
  • 00:20:22.070 --> 00:20:25.373
  • And earmark money and other support in their efforts.
  • 00:20:25.373 --> 00:20:28.743
  • Well, jack, i agree with your sentiments completely.
  • 00:20:28.743 --> 00:20:31.980
  • I believe we have an obligation to the jewish people
  • 00:20:31.980 --> 00:20:34.582
  • As people of faith.
  • 00:20:34.582 --> 00:20:36.184
  • Those of us who are christians, without the jewish people,
  • 00:20:36.184 --> 00:20:38.720
  • We would have no scripture. we would have no prophets.
  • 00:20:38.720 --> 00:20:40.855
  • We wouldn't know the law.
  • 00:20:40.855 --> 00:20:42.457
  • We wouldn't have a messiah.
  • 00:20:42.457 --> 00:20:44.626
  • We are in their debt.
  • 00:20:44.626 --> 00:20:46.194
  • And i believe now that the modern state
  • 00:20:46.194 --> 00:20:47.829
  • Of israel has emerged,
  • 00:20:47.829 --> 00:20:48.797
  • We have a responsibility to stand with them.
  • 00:20:48.797 --> 00:20:51.232
  • If we'll do that, i believe it brings the blessings of god.
  • 00:20:51.232 --> 00:20:53.935
  • Well, i know thanksgiving is approaching.
  • 00:20:54.803 --> 00:20:56.271
  • If you're traveling tonight or tomorrow.
  • 00:20:56.271 --> 00:20:58.473
  • I pray you stay safe
  • 00:20:58.473 --> 00:20:59.708
  • And you avoid the headaches at the airports.
  • 00:20:59.708 --> 00:21:02.010
  • It's a wonderful time of year and we give
  • 00:21:02.010 --> 00:21:03.411
