Allen Jackson NOW | Allen Jackson: December 12, 2024 | December 12, 2024

Well.
00:00:02.961 --> 00:00:03.395
Good evening.
00:00:03.395 --> 00:00:04.429
I'm alan jackson, welcoming you to nashville,
00:00:04.429 --> 00:00:06.465
Where the leaves are not only turning colors,
00:00:06.465 --> 00:00:08.467
They're actually just turning to memories.
00:00:08.467 --> 00:00:10.535
The ducks, they're headed further south.
00:00:10.535 --> 00:00:12.637
So change of seasons.
00:00:12.637 --> 00:00:14.106
And here it's a bit more gentle
00:00:14.106 --> 00:00:15.807
Than some places in our country.
00:00:15.807 --> 00:00:17.609
You know, for me, it's a study in contrast.
00:00:17.609 --> 00:00:20.178
So holiday season, the time to be thankful.
00:00:20.178 --> 00:00:22.881
And for expressions of kindness.
00:00:22.881 --> 00:00:24.883
And i think
00:00:24.883 --> 00:00:26.084
There are many obvious reasons that we can all be grateful.
00:00:26.084 --> 00:00:28.720
All across our country, there are examples
00:00:28.720 --> 00:00:30.889
If we'll just look around a bit.
00:00:30.889 --> 00:00:32.791
The daniel penney trial in new york has come to a conclusion.
00:00:32.791 --> 00:00:36.761
A marine who was accused of recklessly
00:00:36.761 --> 00:00:39.397
Choking a man to death on the subway.
00:00:39.397 --> 00:00:42.501
What could have been
00:00:42.968 --> 00:00:43.635
The tinderbox
00:00:43.635 --> 00:00:44.569
And we'd seen one of our cities once again
00:00:44.569 --> 00:00:46.404
Explode seems to have been resolved
00:00:46.404 --> 00:00:48.840
For the most part, with a return to common sense
00:00:48.840 --> 00:00:51.276
And a respect for our ability to be in public safely.
00:00:51.276 --> 00:00:54.513
The middle east.
00:00:54.913 --> 00:00:56.281
Bashar al-assad has been removed
00:00:56.281 --> 00:00:59.384
After months of conflict in the south of israel and gaza
00:00:59.384 --> 00:01:02.587
With hamas, and in the north with hezbollah.
00:01:02.587 --> 00:01:05.690
We've seen both of those iranian proxies,
00:01:05.690 --> 00:01:07.692
And that their reign of terror be diminished by a series
00:01:07.692 --> 00:01:11.129
Of remarkable activities on behalf of the israelis.
00:01:11.129 --> 00:01:15.200
There are still tunnels with hostages in them in gaza.
00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:18.170
So we're not quite home yet.
00:01:18.170 --> 00:01:19.905
Continue to pray for the peace of jerusalem.
00:01:19.905 --> 00:01:22.874
But bashar assad, a brutal,
00:01:22.874 --> 00:01:25.310
Terrorist, authoritarian leader, has been removed.
00:01:25.310 --> 00:01:29.047
There's no doubt celebrating across that region today.
00:01:29.047 --> 00:01:31.983
We've survived another election season,
00:01:32.784 --> 00:01:35.153
A mostly peaceful election, this time
00:01:35.153 --> 00:01:38.256
An election
00:01:38.256 --> 00:01:39.424
That seems to have taken place without great accusations
00:01:39.424 --> 00:01:42.160
Of malfeasance.
00:01:42.160 --> 00:01:43.128
And the boiling that we saw four years ago
00:01:43.128 --> 00:01:46.565
Across our nation, die is receding somewhat.
00:01:46.565 --> 00:01:50.468
We're actually witnessing a return to character
00:01:50.468 --> 00:01:53.438
Being championed before appearance.
00:01:53.438 --> 00:01:56.441
That bodes well for all of us.
00:01:56.441 --> 00:01:59.010
I just pray we can find our way
00:01:59.010 --> 00:02:00.612
With that same improvement through academia in washington,
00:02:00.612 --> 00:02:04.482
D.c., the most improbable things are happening.
00:02:04.482 --> 00:02:07.552
They're having open discussions about cost cutting
00:02:07.552 --> 00:02:10.956
And returning to efficiency.
00:02:10.956 --> 00:02:13.258
They're even having the brazen boldness to suggest
00:02:13.258 --> 00:02:16.161
That federal workers might go back to their offices.
00:02:16.161 --> 00:02:19.231
Folks, it seems like wherever we look,
00:02:19.998 --> 00:02:21.499
There are expressions and reasons to be grateful.
00:02:21.499 --> 00:02:23.902
This christmas season
00:02:23.902 --> 00:02:25.303
That extend far beyond the packages
00:02:25.303 --> 00:02:27.339
You may have collected beneath the tree,
00:02:27.339 --> 00:02:29.507
Or whatever your approach to the christmas holiday may be.
00:02:29.507 --> 00:02:32.510
Well, tonight, getting along is our subject
00:02:33.378 --> 00:02:36.281
And our guest is a man who knows about it.
00:02:36.281 --> 00:02:39.284
He has overcome and lived through hatred.
00:02:39.284 --> 00:02:41.486
He understands forgiveness, the art of persuasion.
00:02:41.486 --> 00:02:44.556
David harris jr.
00:02:44.556 --> 00:02:45.890
He's an author, podcaster and activist.
00:02:45.890 --> 00:02:48.560
A growing number of people listen to him each week.
00:02:48.560 --> 00:02:51.363
And tonight, it's our turn.
00:02:51.363 --> 00:02:53.431
Right after this short break. one.
00:02:53.431 --> 00:03:00.007
Right after this short break. one.
00:03:00.007 --> 00:03:02.682
We're back with david harris jr.
00:03:03.316 --> 00:03:05.885
He's a keen observer of our culture,
00:03:05.885 --> 00:03:07.987
And he studied the anger we see around us.
00:03:07.987 --> 00:03:10.390
He's a leader
00:03:10.390 --> 00:03:11.357
Among conservatives because of his eloquent
00:03:11.357 --> 00:03:12.925
And thoughtful embrace of conservative principles.
00:03:12.925 --> 00:03:15.528
And he has a lot of listeners.
00:03:15.528 --> 00:03:17.297
David, thanks for joining us tonight.
00:03:17.297 --> 00:03:20.566
Absolutely.
00:03:20.566 --> 00:03:21.401
Pastor allen, it's an honor to be here.
00:03:21.401 --> 00:03:22.735
Love the absolutely love tbn.
00:03:22.735 --> 00:03:24.637
I was watching that when i was a teenager.
00:03:24.637 --> 00:03:27.140
So i've been a long time watcher of, of tbn for decades.
00:03:27.140 --> 00:03:30.343
And love, love your show as well.
00:03:30.343 --> 00:03:33.179
We're grateful to have you on tonight.
00:03:33.980 --> 00:03:36.015
Did fair to say that you were pleased
00:03:36.015 --> 00:03:37.950
By last month's election results?
00:03:37.950 --> 00:03:41.254
Yeah, i would say that any warm blooded, patriotic, bible
00:03:41.254 --> 00:03:44.724
Believing americans should very well be overwhelmed
00:03:44.724 --> 00:03:48.294
With exuberance and joy over the outcome of this last election.
00:03:48.294 --> 00:03:52.365
I mean, the, the lines couldn't have been any clearer.
00:03:52.365 --> 00:03:55.735
The democrat party
00:03:55.735 --> 00:03:56.803
Just continued to push everything
00:03:56.803 --> 00:03:59.105
That is anti-christ really in nature.
00:03:59.105 --> 00:04:01.441
Pushing the woke mob agenda, pushing trans everything
00:04:01.441 --> 00:04:05.144
Trans, sexual on our kids, trying to basically
00:04:05.144 --> 00:04:09.215
Tell our children that god messed up
00:04:09.215 --> 00:04:11.584
When he created them and put them in their
00:04:11.584 --> 00:04:13.519
The body that they're in, which is exactly what
00:04:13.519 --> 00:04:16.289
That whole mission of the trans, woke, agenda is doing.
00:04:16.289 --> 00:04:20.760
So from that to abortions,
00:04:20.760 --> 00:04:22.829
Abortion on demand anytime, anyplace outside of the dnc.
00:04:22.829 --> 00:04:26.466
They had an abortion bus
00:04:26.466 --> 00:04:27.967
Driving around, literally giving abortions, everything
00:04:27.967 --> 00:04:31.304
That the democrat party, i think used to stand for.
00:04:31.304 --> 00:04:34.073
It doesn't need longer.
00:04:34.073 --> 00:04:35.308
It pretty much today stands for everything that i believe
00:04:35.308 --> 00:04:38.444
Is against the bible and against people of faith.
00:04:38.444 --> 00:04:41.314
And, i think that every, every individual.
00:04:41.314 --> 00:04:44.317
And i'm not the only one.
00:04:44.317 --> 00:04:45.585
Of course, with the popular vote going to president donald j.
00:04:45.585 --> 00:04:48.721
Trump.
00:04:48.721 --> 00:04:49.689
I think the american people have woken up
00:04:49.689 --> 00:04:51.991
To the woke mob agenda and they don't want anymore.
00:04:51.991 --> 00:04:55.695
And bible sales are actually soaring.
00:04:55.695 --> 00:04:57.630
So i believe that we're on the beginning.
00:04:57.630 --> 00:04:59.499
We're at the precipice of a true revival
00:04:59.499 --> 00:05:02.535
And awakening of hearts and minds
00:05:02.535 --> 00:05:04.570
To know our creator, our papa god, and jesus.
00:05:04.570 --> 00:05:08.307
Like never before.
00:05:08.307 --> 00:05:09.375
I truly believe that's, that's coming. it's here.
00:05:09.375 --> 00:05:13.980
Well, you have
00:05:14.313 --> 00:05:15.014
Written about the deep divisions
00:05:15.014 --> 00:05:16.382
In our country, some rooted in race.
00:05:16.382 --> 00:05:18.651
How do you think the incoming administration should approach
00:05:18.651 --> 00:05:21.888
Racial division?
00:05:21.888 --> 00:05:25.124
Well, i think what president trump, has done,
00:05:25.124 --> 00:05:27.593
If we look at what he did in his first term in office,
00:05:27.593 --> 00:05:30.530
He did a lot for the black and brown community.
00:05:30.530 --> 00:05:33.566
Black unemployment was at a historic all time low.
00:05:33.566 --> 00:05:36.636
Underneath his presidency, he, gave and,
00:05:36.636 --> 00:05:39.906
Pledged donations of money to the hbcus, historically black
00:05:39.906 --> 00:05:43.543
Colleges and universities.
00:05:43.543 --> 00:05:44.877
He pledged more money than even obama had given,
00:05:44.877 --> 00:05:47.213
And he made it permanent with ten year funding.
00:05:47.213 --> 00:05:49.415
So they didn't have to come back
00:05:49.415 --> 00:05:50.716
Every single year and basically beg for money.
00:05:50.716 --> 00:05:52.919
So what president trump has already done,
00:05:52.919 --> 00:05:55.021
I believe he will continue to do more of.
00:05:55.021 --> 00:05:56.622
But when it comes down to it, everybody in america,
00:05:56.622 --> 00:05:59.725
No matter what
00:05:59.725 --> 00:06:00.660
Your race or your background or your color,
00:06:00.660 --> 00:06:03.029
We all want to be safe and feel safe in our homes.
00:06:03.029 --> 00:06:05.898
We all want to feel like the american dream
00:06:05.898 --> 00:06:07.667
Is real, that the american dream is for all of us.
00:06:07.667 --> 00:06:09.936
We all want the opportunity to have gainful employment
00:06:09.936 --> 00:06:13.105
Or be able to retire, knowing that
00:06:13.105 --> 00:06:14.807
Our money isn't getting wasted by the government.
00:06:14.807 --> 00:06:16.976
So i think that as president trump comes
00:06:16.976 --> 00:06:18.578
In with his new administration, with bobby, kennedy, rfk
00:06:18.578 --> 00:06:22.615
Jr at his side to help make america healthy again,
00:06:22.615 --> 00:06:26.219
We're tulsi gabbard coming in.
00:06:26.219 --> 00:06:27.887
Elon musk coming in with vivek ramaswamy to to head up
00:06:28.988 --> 00:06:32.725
Dod's the department of government efficiency
00:06:32.725 --> 00:06:34.794
To make sure
00:06:34.794 --> 00:06:35.995
That our government money, our tax money isn't being wasted
00:06:35.995 --> 00:06:38.431
By the government.
00:06:38.431 --> 00:06:39.532
I think that,
00:06:39.532 --> 00:06:40.566
So many of the individuals that he has brought in
00:06:40.566 --> 00:06:43.970
Is going to do so much for this country, for our economy.
00:06:43.970 --> 00:06:47.907
It's going to reduce inflation, it's
00:06:47.907 --> 00:06:49.242
Going to stop the government waste.
00:06:49.242 --> 00:06:50.843
And they want to be very transparent
00:06:50.843 --> 00:06:52.411
About that government waste so that we,
00:06:52.411 --> 00:06:54.113
The people can actually see what's been being wasted.
00:06:54.113 --> 00:06:57.383
And also know that it's not going to continue to happen.
00:06:57.383 --> 00:07:00.419
So i think that as he continues to, do what he can
00:07:00.419 --> 00:07:03.523
And what he will do to make america prosperous, safe,
00:07:03.523 --> 00:07:06.592
And and great again, i think that's going to impact
00:07:06.592 --> 00:07:09.362
All americans.
00:07:09.362 --> 00:07:10.329
And all of us are going to be able to say,
00:07:10.329 --> 00:07:12.431
Thank god president trump won this last election.
00:07:12.431 --> 00:07:15.835
You know, as everybody's reflected on the election
00:07:16.869 --> 00:07:19.005
And tried to dissect the outcomes, one of the conclusions
00:07:19.005 --> 00:07:22.108
Seems to be there was enormous impact by the podcasters.
00:07:22.108 --> 00:07:26.212
I mean, joe rogan was probably the most obvious,
00:07:26.212 --> 00:07:28.848
But platforms such as the one that you have clearly
00:07:28.848 --> 00:07:32.051
Have captured the hearts of millions of americans.
00:07:32.051 --> 00:07:35.121
What were you saying
00:07:35.121 --> 00:07:36.322
To your viewers in the weeks leading up to the election?
00:07:36.322 --> 00:07:39.058
Well, you know, i have a show now on newsmax
00:07:39.959 --> 00:07:42.128
Called the pulse and airs at 8 p.m.
00:07:42.128 --> 00:07:44.030
Eastern, monday through friday.
00:07:44.030 --> 00:07:45.565
Because my podcast is doing so well on my own.
00:07:45.565 --> 00:07:48.034
Newsmax reached out
00:07:48.034 --> 00:07:49.135
And said, hey, we'd love to have you
00:07:49.135 --> 00:07:50.336
On our show, on our network.
00:07:50.336 --> 00:07:51.871
So, the pulse airs monday through friday at 8 p.m.
00:07:51.871 --> 00:07:54.206
Eastern, and i just continue to break down
00:07:54.206 --> 00:07:56.242
The facts of what's going on.
00:07:56.242 --> 00:07:57.777
I have amazing guests on last night, actually had,
00:07:57.777 --> 00:08:00.646
The founder of black lives matter wrote
00:08:00.646 --> 00:08:03.149
Rhode island on his name is marc fisher,
00:08:03.149 --> 00:08:05.284
And he started that black lives matter chapter
00:08:05.284 --> 00:08:08.054
With the initiative.
00:08:08.054 --> 00:08:09.288
And the agenda that is par
00:08:09.288 --> 00:08:11.424
For the course for the whole blm movement,
00:08:11.424 --> 00:08:13.225
Which i believe is rooted, in, in a lot of,
00:08:13.225 --> 00:08:16.362
Misinformation and disinformation.
00:08:16.362 --> 00:08:19.665
And he actually woke up from that. he said, you know what?
00:08:19.665 --> 00:08:21.701
It's not as bad as we're led to believe.
00:08:21.701 --> 00:08:23.903
Like you opened up in your in your opening monologue
00:08:23.903 --> 00:08:26.172
When you were sharing about daniel penny.
00:08:26.172 --> 00:08:27.773
That could have been a, it could have boiled over.
00:08:27.773 --> 00:08:30.576
There was actually a another chapter leader
00:08:30.576 --> 00:08:32.678
For black lives matter, new york,
00:08:32.678 --> 00:08:34.413
That spoke after the after, jordan neely's dad
00:08:34.413 --> 00:08:38.150
And said, you know, we need to have our own,
00:08:38.150 --> 00:08:40.252
You know, black vigilantes out here.
00:08:40.252 --> 00:08:42.121
They can't just be choking us.
00:08:42.121 --> 00:08:43.456
And this whole,
00:08:43.456 --> 00:08:44.457
You know, rah rah about about the white man
00:08:44.457 --> 00:08:46.692
Just choking out and killing the black man.
00:08:46.692 --> 00:08:48.394
And it's like, this wasn't racial.
00:08:48.394 --> 00:08:50.196
It wasn't racial.
00:08:50.196 --> 00:08:51.163
But yet everything and that agenda from blm
00:08:51.163 --> 00:08:54.033
To all the marxist
00:08:54.033 --> 00:08:55.101
Organizations behind it,
00:08:55.101 --> 00:08:56.469
All the leftist progressive organizations,
00:08:56.469 --> 00:08:58.871
They want division.
00:08:58.871 --> 00:09:00.206
And that's the best and simplest way to do
00:09:00.206 --> 00:09:01.941
It, is to divide us
00:09:01.941 --> 00:09:03.009
Based on our skin color, which is ridiculous
00:09:03.009 --> 00:09:05.444
Because we didn't choose our skin color.
00:09:05.444 --> 00:09:07.079
It's not like we had anything to do with it.
00:09:07.079 --> 00:09:08.514
God created us all the way that he did,
00:09:08.514 --> 00:09:10.316
And he created us all male and female.
00:09:10.316 --> 00:09:12.752
He created adam and eve, not adam and eve.
00:09:12.752 --> 00:09:15.254
So when they want to divide us and confuse us, then they win
00:09:15.254 --> 00:09:19.258
Because we're then bickering and fighting amongst ourselves.
00:09:19.258 --> 00:09:21.894
So what i shared leading up to the election was have faith
00:09:21.894 --> 00:09:25.331
And i shared vote early.
00:09:25.331 --> 00:09:26.932
I think it was pivotal
00:09:26.932 --> 00:09:28.601
And monumental that president trump
00:09:28.601 --> 00:09:30.403
Went on all these different podcasts.
00:09:30.403 --> 00:09:32.204
He went on podcasts that, for one, kamala didn't
00:09:32.204 --> 00:09:35.441
Do any podcast because there's no way
00:09:35.441 --> 00:09:36.976
She could handle a one, 2
00:09:36.976 --> 00:09:38.511
Or 3 hour podcast like president trump did.
00:09:38.511 --> 00:09:41.147
But, he was reaching out to the young
00:09:41.147 --> 00:09:43.282
Vote, to the to the black voter, to the hispanic voter.
00:09:43.282 --> 00:09:45.885
He was showing what he's all about, what he stands for.
00:09:45.885 --> 00:09:49.422
And he was willing to be asked the tough questions.
00:09:49.422 --> 00:09:51.724
And he gave the answers.
00:09:51.724 --> 00:09:52.825
And i think that was paramount to his win.
00:09:52.825 --> 00:09:55.261
I also also believe what was paramount was vote early.
00:09:55.261 --> 00:09:58.497
That was the main thing i was telling my audience
00:09:58.497 --> 00:10:00.566
Leading up to the election was vote early.
00:10:00.566 --> 00:10:02.968
We cannot leave all the votes dangling in the wind
00:10:02.968 --> 00:10:06.205
On the final day of election on november 5th, and then allow
00:10:06.205 --> 00:10:10.509
Who knows what to maybe switch and change, on the final day.
00:10:10.509 --> 00:10:14.380
So i think that voting early, so many states voted early
00:10:14.380 --> 00:10:17.717
That on the final day there was only between 22,
00:10:17.717 --> 00:10:20.720
Maybe 30% and a lot of states, votes left.
00:10:20.720 --> 00:10:24.090
Well, it's kind of hard to change or shift
00:10:24.090 --> 00:10:25.858
Anything when so much of the votes already come in.
00:10:25.858 --> 00:10:28.127
So overall,
00:10:28.127 --> 00:10:29.261
I believe god had grace and mercy on us as a country.
00:10:29.261 --> 00:10:32.565
He, i believe that even
00:10:32.565 --> 00:10:34.133
Joe biden taking the oval office in 2020, i absolutely believe
00:10:34.133 --> 00:10:37.837
Was a part of god's sovereign plan.
00:10:37.837 --> 00:10:39.672
I believe that he allowed that to happen to wake americans up.
00:10:39.672 --> 00:10:42.808
And this time around, president trump has, like i said, rfk jr,
00:10:42.808 --> 00:10:47.012
Tulsi gabbard, elon musk,
00:10:47.012 --> 00:10:49.014
That that brahma swamy, he's got,
00:10:49.014 --> 00:10:50.750
Jd vance as his vice president.
00:10:50.750 --> 00:10:52.551
He has such a stronger, healthier, more robust team
00:10:52.551 --> 00:10:56.655
And administration for this four years,
00:10:56.655 --> 00:10:59.024
This four years
00:10:59.024 --> 00:11:00.159
Will do 100 times greater
00:11:00.159 --> 00:11:01.827
Than what he could have done had he taken the office,
00:11:01.827 --> 00:11:04.130
The oval office in 2020.
00:11:04.130 --> 00:11:05.664
So i believe we're we're sitting pretty, pretty pastor.
00:11:05.664 --> 00:11:09.268
Well, i think you're right.
00:11:09.869 --> 00:11:10.870
He has quite the robust
00:11:10.870 --> 00:11:12.004
Cast of characters going with him to dc.
00:11:12.004 --> 00:11:14.907
If president elect trump were to ask you
00:11:14.907 --> 00:11:17.276
What he should do in his first few months,
00:11:17.276 --> 00:11:19.545
How would you answer?
00:11:19.545 --> 00:11:22.114
Well, i think he's actually made it pretty clear.
00:11:22.114 --> 00:11:23.983
And i stand by it.
00:11:23.983 --> 00:11:25.217
I think in his first 100 days, he's going to secure the border.
00:11:25.217 --> 00:11:27.653
He's going to put put the, executive orders back in place
00:11:27.653 --> 00:11:31.023
That joe biden
00:11:31.023 --> 00:11:32.124
Rescinded on his day, one that led to the the worst,
00:11:32.124 --> 00:11:35.127
Most open, porous border in our nation's history.
00:11:35.127 --> 00:11:38.330
He's going to secure the border on day one.
00:11:38.330 --> 00:11:40.232
He's going to go after the cartels.
00:11:40.232 --> 00:11:42.334
He's going to take the gloves off
00:11:42.334 --> 00:11:43.702
When it comes to finding
00:11:43.702 --> 00:11:45.037
And deporting the individuals that broke into our country.
00:11:45.037 --> 00:11:48.207
You know, i'm all for illegal immigration.
00:11:48.207 --> 00:11:50.643
We are
00:11:50.643 --> 00:11:51.844
The most benevolent country in the history of the world.
00:11:51.844 --> 00:11:53.646
We give to all these other nations around the world.
00:11:53.646 --> 00:11:55.781
But we are a nation of laws.
00:11:55.781 --> 00:11:57.449
And i believe that president trump
00:11:57.449 --> 00:11:58.717
Will allow ice and the border patrol
00:11:58.717 --> 00:12:01.821
And the local law enforcement agencies to work together
00:12:01.821 --> 00:12:05.257
To find the criminals.
00:12:05.257 --> 00:12:06.592
They they already the numbers already came out.
00:12:06.592 --> 00:12:08.761
A report of this on my show.
00:12:08.761 --> 00:12:10.129
There's over 16,000 verified,
00:12:10.129 --> 00:12:13.599
Convicted rapists that are roaming around, illegal
00:12:13.599 --> 00:12:16.669
Immigrants that are roaming around the country.
00:12:16.669 --> 00:12:18.804
Over 30,000, 35,000 total convicted of a violent
00:12:18.804 --> 00:12:22.041
Assault of some kind that are just roaming around our country.
00:12:22.041 --> 00:12:25.578
They they are violent criminals
00:12:25.578 --> 00:12:27.313
That are illegals, that are in the country.
00:12:27.313 --> 00:12:29.081
They know the law, the,
00:12:29.081 --> 00:12:30.950
The local law enforcement agencies have the ability,
00:12:30.950 --> 00:12:34.687
To reach out to ice and network and coordinate together.
00:12:34.687 --> 00:12:37.656
That's one of the things that joe biden
00:12:37.656 --> 00:12:39.024
And kamala harris did was they said,
00:12:39.024 --> 00:12:41.026
We don't want these agencies working together.
00:12:41.026 --> 00:12:42.761
They basically have to turn a blind eye.
00:12:42.761 --> 00:12:44.363
They can't communicate.
00:12:44.363 --> 00:12:45.631
So i believe that he's going to make, along with tom homan.
00:12:45.631 --> 00:12:48.701
Our new borders are who i love. tom.
00:12:48.701 --> 00:12:50.236
I've had him on the show, about a week or so ago.
00:12:50.236 --> 00:12:52.538
Tom homan is a bulldog when it comes to the law.
00:12:52.538 --> 00:12:55.374
When it comes to our border,
00:12:55.374 --> 00:12:57.042
I think he's going to make the border secure.
00:12:57.042 --> 00:12:58.744
He's going to lead the largest mass deportation effort,
00:12:58.744 --> 00:13:01.914
To get rid of, especially the illegals,
00:13:01.914 --> 00:13:04.083
The criminal illegal aliens.
00:13:04.083 --> 00:13:05.651
And, and, and then he's going to, he's already given us
00:13:05.651 --> 00:13:09.555
A greater sense of peace on the world stage.
00:13:09.555 --> 00:13:11.624
If you look at him going to france
00:13:11.624 --> 00:13:13.425
For the reopening of the notre dame cathedral, there
00:13:13.425 --> 00:13:16.028
All the world leaders, they're they're smiling.
00:13:16.028 --> 00:13:18.197
They want to shake his hand. they understand true leadership.
00:13:18.197 --> 00:13:20.733
And that's something that we have not had
00:13:20.733 --> 00:13:22.735
On the world stage for the last three and a half years.
00:13:22.735 --> 00:13:25.271
Unfortunately, i think we've been a laughing stock,
00:13:25.271 --> 00:13:27.239
But he's going to bring back that peace.
00:13:27.239 --> 00:13:29.008
He's going to, secure the border.
00:13:29.008 --> 00:13:31.277
I believe that the tariffs and what he plans to do
00:13:31.277 --> 00:13:33.979
And how he plans to utilize the tariffs are going to make it
00:13:33.979 --> 00:13:36.682
So that inflation begins to drop.
00:13:36.682 --> 00:13:38.550
These other countries that we're giving so much money
00:13:38.550 --> 00:13:40.753
To, on a, on a yearly annual basis,
00:13:40.753 --> 00:13:43.422
We're giving money to all these countries.
00:13:43.422 --> 00:13:45.291
Most of them aren't aren't paying back.
00:13:45.291 --> 00:13:47.192
That's not reciprocal. we don't get anything back.
00:13:47.192 --> 00:13:49.094
And they ship their stuff here. they import their stuff here.
00:13:49.094 --> 00:13:51.730
I think he's going to
00:13:51.730 --> 00:13:52.731
He is a brilliant business mastermind
00:13:52.731 --> 00:13:54.833
When it comes
00:13:54.833 --> 00:13:55.367
To, finances. that's
00:13:55.367 --> 00:13:56.969
Why he's the international business mogul that he is.
00:13:56.969 --> 00:13:59.305
And that's another amazing thing that i'm glad and excited
00:13:59.305 --> 00:14:01.941
That we've got somebody that really understands
00:14:01.941 --> 00:14:03.509
Money and business that's going to be leading our country.
00:14:03.509 --> 00:14:05.678
So the economy is going to turn around.
00:14:05.678 --> 00:14:07.713
We're going to start to feel safe.
00:14:07.713 --> 00:14:08.981
Deportations are going to happen.
00:14:08.981 --> 00:14:10.916
Counties and districts and cities across the country
00:14:10.916 --> 00:14:13.886
Are going to have a lighter load because, again,
00:14:13.886 --> 00:14:16.622
With 15 to 20 million plus illegals,
00:14:16.622 --> 00:14:19.291
That have come into this country,
00:14:19.291 --> 00:14:21.060
There is a detriment and a weight to schools,
00:14:21.060 --> 00:14:24.430
To hospitals, to local check ins, to,
00:14:24.430 --> 00:14:27.466
I mean, just local dmvs, even though they weren't
00:14:27.466 --> 00:14:29.735
Supposed to be getting licenses,
00:14:29.735 --> 00:14:30.903
Dmvs were being overran, especially before the election.
00:14:30.903 --> 00:14:33.572
You could put two and two together.
00:14:33.572 --> 00:14:34.974
But i think the first 100 days, president
00:14:34.974 --> 00:14:37.109
Trump is going to do a lot to turn the ship
00:14:37.109 --> 00:14:39.878
Of the united states back into the direction
00:14:39.878 --> 00:14:41.714
Of prosperity, back in the in the direction of peace
00:14:41.714 --> 00:14:44.883
And safety.
00:14:44.883 --> 00:14:46.018
And, it's going to be a beautiful thing to watch.
00:14:46.018 --> 00:14:50.189
Well, i agree there are reasons for optimism.
00:14:51.123 --> 00:14:53.959
Congratulations on your new program on newsmax.
00:14:53.959 --> 00:14:58.630
Thank you.
00:14:58.931 --> 00:14:59.798
Thank you. so my number one show. on.
00:14:59.798 --> 00:15:02.401
Newsmax in.
00:15:02.401 --> 00:15:04.703
Number one, good for you.
00:15:04.703 --> 00:15:06.805
Yeah, it's a. number one show.
00:15:06.805 --> 00:15:08.374
Be the app.
00:15:08.374 --> 00:15:09.608
Yeah, absolutely.
00:15:09.608 --> 00:15:10.943
We would love to. pastor alan. would love to.
00:15:10.943 --> 00:15:12.745
God bless you.
00:15:12.745 --> 00:15:14.847
Well, stay with us, and i'll have a hopeful message
00:15:14.847 --> 00:15:16.949
For you to think about right after this break.
00:15:16.949 --> 00:15:25.007
For you to think about right after this break.
00:15:25.007 --> 00:15:26.625
Y'all, i think we all understand that the message of christmas
00:15:27.826 --> 00:15:30.863
Is a message of hope and joy and excitement.
00:15:30.863 --> 00:15:34.033
Those are all good things.
00:15:34.033 --> 00:15:35.067
I love the season of christmas.
00:15:35.067 --> 00:15:37.403
I like everything about it. i'm not confused.
00:15:37.403 --> 00:15:39.571
I know the purpose of christmas
00:15:39.571 --> 00:15:41.140
Is not a fat guy in a red suit, a reindeer that can fly.
00:15:41.140 --> 00:15:44.810
I understand the meaning,
00:15:44.810 --> 00:15:46.412
But the reality of this time, of the year is for everybody.
00:15:46.412 --> 00:15:49.715
Is it always a joyful time?
00:15:49.715 --> 00:15:52.284
Oftentimes we arrive at this season of the year
00:15:52.284 --> 00:15:54.887
And we have heavy hearts.
00:15:54.887 --> 00:15:56.588
Lots of things contribute to that.
00:15:56.588 --> 00:15:58.223
We may have lost someone we love.
00:15:58.223 --> 00:15:59.558
This year may have been a difficult year for us.
00:15:59.558 --> 00:16:01.927
There may have been challenges.
00:16:01.927 --> 00:16:03.529
It may just be a disappointing time.
00:16:03.529 --> 00:16:05.864
Whatever the reason, there's something
00:16:05.864 --> 00:16:07.232
We all need to remember.
00:16:07.232 --> 00:16:08.600
Norman rockwell painted fantasy.
00:16:08.600 --> 00:16:11.203
He painted those beautiful pictures
00:16:11.203 --> 00:16:12.704
Of holiday tables and perfect family gatherings.
00:16:12.704 --> 00:16:15.774
Even the turkey was
00:16:15.774 --> 00:16:16.842
The perfect shade of brown, roasted to perfection.
00:16:16.842 --> 00:16:20.345
Folks, life's not like that.
00:16:20.946 --> 00:16:22.748
We arrive at christmas, most of us with warts
00:16:22.748 --> 00:16:25.818
And scars and nicks and scrapes and a bit bruised from the year
00:16:25.818 --> 00:16:30.122
Most of our plans didn't unfold as perfectly as we would like,
00:16:30.122 --> 00:16:33.225
And we faced challenges this christmas season.
00:16:33.225 --> 00:16:35.928
You're not alone in that,
00:16:35.928 --> 00:16:37.763
And i don't want the pressure of a perfect christmas
00:16:37.763 --> 00:16:40.466
To rob you of the privilege of quietly saying thank you to god.
00:16:40.466 --> 00:16:45.304
There are things in all of our
00:16:45.304 --> 00:16:46.605
Lives for which we can be grateful.
00:16:46.605 --> 00:16:48.574
It doesn't require perfection either.
00:16:48.574 --> 00:16:50.776
Within us or around us,
00:16:50.776 --> 00:16:52.678
In order to have a heart of gratitude
00:16:52.678 --> 00:16:54.713
And thankfulness for the goodnes
00:16:54.713 --> 00:16:58.817
I had a meal this week with a friend from israel,
00:16:58.817 --> 00:17:01.253
And he said
00:17:01.253 --> 00:17:01.920
They have over 100 blessings
00:17:01.920 --> 00:17:03.422
A day that are a part of their prayers.
00:17:03.422 --> 00:17:05.924
I don't think i quite make that target,
00:17:05.924 --> 00:17:07.926
But i'm determined this christmas season
00:17:07.926 --> 00:17:10.329
To have a greater sense of gratitude
00:17:10.329 --> 00:17:12.564
For the world around me.
00:17:12.564 --> 00:17:14.133
If it's not a perfect circumstance for me,
00:17:14.133 --> 00:17:16.435
I'll thank god for the people i see the other in the midst
00:17:16.435 --> 00:17:19.238
Of circumstances that seem to be so good for them.
00:17:19.238 --> 00:17:22.341
It's christmas time.
00:17:22.341 --> 00:17:23.609
The very least we can do is be grateful.
00:17:23.609 --> 00:17:26.411
I'm quite confident that we'll do that.
00:17:26.411 --> 00:17:28.147
There are more reasons for hope than there are for despair.
00:17:28.147 --> 00:17:31.817
Well, that's my message tonight.
00:17:31.817 --> 00:17:33.619
And after a short break,
00:17:33.619 --> 00:17:35.020
We're going to go through
00:17:35.020 --> 00:17:36.255
Some of your emails to hear how you're acting on the details
00:17:36.255 --> 00:17:38.790
Of our program.
00:17:38.790 --> 00:17:45.012
Of our program.
00:17:45.012 --> 00:17:46.335
Thank you for taking the time to share your emails with us.
00:17:47.537 --> 00:17:50.406
Your thoughts and perspectives do a lot to shape our program.
00:17:50.406 --> 00:17:54.076
Judy from palmdale, california wrote.
00:17:54.076 --> 00:17:56.679
You spoke on syria.
00:17:56.679 --> 00:17:57.914
I didn't realize turkey was in possession
00:17:57.914 --> 00:17:59.916
Of part of northern syria.
00:17:59.916 --> 00:18:01.617
What are your thoughts?
00:18:01.617 --> 00:18:03.419
Well, i think what we've witnessed in syria lately
00:18:03.419 --> 00:18:05.922
Was a remarkable expression of the grace of god.
00:18:05.922 --> 00:18:09.192
Now there's a power vacuum there.
00:18:09.192 --> 00:18:10.593
Now, with assad's departure, the future of syria isn't clear.
00:18:10.593 --> 00:18:14.897
Turkey certainly has some ambitions.
00:18:14.897 --> 00:18:16.766
I don't think russia is going to withdraw voluntarily.
00:18:16.766 --> 00:18:19.702
It's an important time to pray that god will direct the events
00:18:19.702 --> 00:18:22.838
So that the people in that land avoid the slaughter
00:18:22.838 --> 00:18:26.475
And genocide.
00:18:26.475 --> 00:18:27.310
That could very well await
00:18:27.310 --> 00:18:28.277
Those alawites with assad's departure.
00:18:28.277 --> 00:18:31.414
Don't stop praying,
00:18:31.414 --> 00:18:33.616
Okay?
00:18:33.849 --> 00:18:35.017
And t in southeast pennsylvania said, well done, pastor.
00:18:35.017 --> 00:18:36.886
Speak truth every night.
00:18:36.886 --> 00:18:38.688
Your personal comments are so powerful and instructive.
00:18:38.688 --> 00:18:41.557
Hashtag.
00:18:41.557 --> 00:18:42.158
We will not stop
00:18:42.158 --> 00:18:43.726
Praying daily for you to keep it up
00:18:43.726 --> 00:18:45.394
And stay on the air for your nightly aj now editorials.
00:18:45.394 --> 00:18:48.998
Jesus is lord. amen.
00:18:48.998 --> 00:18:51.133
He certainly is lord
00:18:51.133 --> 00:18:52.368
And we can all use our voice for that declaration
00:18:52.368 --> 00:18:55.705
And finally, nancy from fayetteville, north carolina.
00:18:55.705 --> 00:18:58.975
Pastor jackson, i watch your sermon
00:18:58.975 --> 00:19:00.443
Every morning in your program at night, and i'm so encouraged
00:19:00.443 --> 00:19:03.145
And informed about how the church
00:19:03.145 --> 00:19:04.614
Should be more available and present in our world today.
00:19:04.614 --> 00:19:07.917
I've learned so much about our political stance
00:19:07.917 --> 00:19:10.019
And our responsibilities as a church.
00:19:10.019 --> 00:19:12.355
Your message is so refreshing.
00:19:12.355 --> 00:19:13.956
I would love for you to write a book
00:19:13.956 --> 00:19:15.925
To include such simple and spontaneous prayers
00:19:15.925 --> 00:19:18.427
That we can use to be a blessing,
00:19:18.427 --> 00:19:19.962
And to be the light for the world,
00:19:19.962 --> 00:19:21.831
For someone each and every day.
00:19:21.831 --> 00:19:23.165
God bless you.
00:19:23.165 --> 00:19:24.500
Well, i have good news, nancy.
00:19:24.500 --> 00:19:26.068
I have several books of prayers.
00:19:26.068 --> 00:19:28.271
You can go to the website.
00:19:28.271 --> 00:19:29.305
I'm sure they're listed there.
00:19:29.305 --> 00:19:31.107
Everything from let's pray to awaken us.
00:19:31.107 --> 00:19:33.943
It's a whole host of prayer books
00:19:33.943 --> 00:19:35.411
And i agree, prayer changes everything. i
00:19:35.411 --> 00:19:38.514
Make sure to send your emails to comments at alan jackson
00:19:38.514 --> 00:19:41.150
Now.com and from all of us here in nashville.
00:19:41.150 --> 00:19:44.587
Thank you for joining us tonight.
00:19:44.587 --> 00:19:46.222
