  • Well, good evening and welcome to nashville.
  • 00:00:02.661 --> 00:00:04.796
  • I'm alan jackson.
  • 00:00:04.796 --> 00:00:06.364
  • It's a new day in washington, and the new administration
  • 00:00:06.364 --> 00:00:08.967
  • Is already setting a record pace for the year ahead.
  • 00:00:08.967 --> 00:00:12.204
  • In just the first few days, president trump has started
  • 00:00:12.204 --> 00:00:15.006
  • As much as some new administrations
  • 00:00:15.006 --> 00:00:16.675
  • Accomplish in their first few months.
  • 00:00:16.675 --> 00:00:19.277
  • He's moved back to the oval office
  • 00:00:19.277 --> 00:00:20.712
  • With a mountain of issues on his desk,
  • 00:00:20.712 --> 00:00:22.881
  • And the issue he said
  • 00:00:22.881 --> 00:00:23.882
  • Was most important to him on inauguration day
  • 00:00:23.882 --> 00:00:26.318
  • Is the open border
  • 00:00:26.318 --> 00:00:27.419
  • And the multitude of problems that have come with it.
  • 00:00:27.419 --> 00:00:30.288
  • Well, borders are.
  • 00:00:30.288 --> 00:00:31.356
  • Tom homan has begun mass deportations of people
  • 00:00:31.356 --> 00:00:33.925
  • Who are here illegally.
  • 00:00:33.925 --> 00:00:35.760
  • There's a major tax bill which needs to get approved,
  • 00:00:35.760 --> 00:00:38.463
  • Or there will be a $4 trillion tax increase next year.
  • 00:00:38.463 --> 00:00:42.134
  • Trump has already promised no tax on tips or social security.
  • 00:00:42.134 --> 00:00:45.570
  • We'll see three hostages released,
  • 00:00:45.570 --> 00:00:48.273
  • But many more are held.
  • 00:00:48.273 --> 00:00:49.674
  • Both americans and israelis.
  • 00:00:49.674 --> 00:00:52.110
  • President trump brought attention to the hostages,
  • 00:00:52.110 --> 00:00:54.412
  • Including their parents, former hostage noah armani
  • 00:00:54.412 --> 00:00:58.049
  • And relatives of israeli hostages,
  • 00:00:58.049 --> 00:01:00.252
  • And told them we never stopped praying for you.
  • 00:01:00.252 --> 00:01:03.889
  • Trump mentioned the panama canal in greenland, representing
  • 00:01:03.889 --> 00:01:07.259
  • Security and financial issues for all of us.
  • 00:01:07.259 --> 00:01:10.529
  • California. they're still in crisis.
  • 00:01:10.529 --> 00:01:12.631
  • No water money spent on dea and woke policies.
  • 00:01:12.631 --> 00:01:16.301
  • Billions lost.
  • 00:01:16.635 --> 00:01:17.969
  • And there's people are still homeless.
  • 00:01:17.969 --> 00:01:20.205
  • Drop aside.
  • 00:01:20.205 --> 00:01:21.339
  • Around 100 executive orders overturning biden rules.
  • 00:01:21.339 --> 00:01:24.242
  • Well, there's something powerful
  • 00:01:24.876 --> 00:01:26.344
  • About seeing our national leaders
  • 00:01:26.344 --> 00:01:28.013
  • Gathered inside the rotunda of the capitol building.
  • 00:01:28.013 --> 00:01:31.183
  • We see paintings of similar
  • 00:01:31.183 --> 00:01:32.584
  • Events from across america's history.
  • 00:01:32.584 --> 00:01:34.753
  • And as we watched the inauguration,
  • 00:01:34.753 --> 00:01:36.721
  • It was a powerful reminder of our responsibility to carry
  • 00:01:36.721 --> 00:01:39.724
  • Freedom to the generations ahead of us.
  • 00:01:39.724 --> 00:01:43.295
  • It was also a ceremony that honored our heritage,
  • 00:01:43.295 --> 00:01:46.097
  • Not just our american heritage, but the judeo-christian roots
  • 00:01:46.097 --> 00:01:49.601
  • Of our nation.
  • 00:01:49.601 --> 00:01:50.869
  • The prayers that were offered,
  • 00:01:50.869 --> 00:01:52.070
  • The songs that were songs that were sung.
  • 00:01:52.070 --> 00:01:54.472
  • The truth that was told.
  • 00:01:54.472 --> 00:01:56.474
  • It really did feel like turning a page to a new
  • 00:01:56.474 --> 00:01:59.411
  • And better chapter for our nation.
  • 00:01:59.411 --> 00:02:02.480
  • Well, tonight we're going to dive deep
  • 00:02:02.480 --> 00:02:03.949
  • Into the transformative
  • 00:02:03.949 --> 00:02:05.050
  • Political landscape following the november election.
  • 00:02:05.050 --> 00:02:08.053
  • Joining us is alex marlow.
  • 00:02:08.053 --> 00:02:10.088
  • He's the editor in chief of breitbart
  • 00:02:10.088 --> 00:02:11.756
  • News and a leading voice in conservative media.
  • 00:02:11.756 --> 00:02:14.793
  • Alex, welcome back to our program.
  • 00:02:14.793 --> 00:02:17.062
  • Pastors, always great to see you,
  • 00:02:17.796 --> 00:02:18.964
  • Especially in such a joyous week.
  • 00:02:18.964 --> 00:02:20.799
  • Absolutely.
  • 00:02:20.799 --> 00:02:22.367
  • Well, it's a clear agenda of personal
  • 00:02:22.367 --> 00:02:24.402
  • And international safety, a more robust economy
  • 00:02:24.402 --> 00:02:27.606
  • And less government waste
  • 00:02:27.606 --> 00:02:30.775
  • And far less government regulations.
  • 00:02:30.775 --> 00:02:33.578
  • I would think that every american
  • 00:02:33.578 --> 00:02:34.846
  • Would choose those priorities.
  • 00:02:34.846 --> 00:02:36.715
  • Does that seem right to you?
  • 00:02:36.715 --> 00:02:39.317
  • Absolutely. it does.
  • 00:02:39.317 --> 00:02:40.552
  • And something that i was really struck by
  • 00:02:40.552 --> 00:02:42.721
  • With the president's inaugural address yesterday,
  • 00:02:42.721 --> 00:02:44.889
  • Which was absolutely fantastic, pitch perfect in many ways.
  • 00:02:44.889 --> 00:02:48.793
  • But the thing that i liked the most was
  • 00:02:48.793 --> 00:02:51.096
  • There were so many concrete examples of policies,
  • 00:02:51.096 --> 00:02:54.332
  • And these weren't policies that you always associate
  • 00:02:54.332 --> 00:02:57.335
  • With republicans necessarily, or democrats per se.
  • 00:02:57.335 --> 00:03:00.705
  • It was really just sort of things that are unifying.
  • 00:03:00.705 --> 00:03:03.675
  • We're talking about ending the wokeness in our military.
  • 00:03:03.675 --> 00:03:06.511
  • We're talking about securing the border.
  • 00:03:06.511 --> 00:03:08.313
  • We're we're talking about tapping our energy resources.
  • 00:03:08.313 --> 00:03:11.149
  • We're talking about getting out of unnecessary wars.
  • 00:03:11.149 --> 00:03:13.918
  • These are unifying themes and trying to bring america back
  • 00:03:13.918 --> 00:03:18.089
  • To our conservative judeo-christian roots as best
  • 00:03:18.089 --> 00:03:21.993
  • We can and as fast as we can to end
  • 00:03:21.993 --> 00:03:24.229
  • This sort of woke nightmare that we've been in.
  • 00:03:24.229 --> 00:03:26.598
  • He's the guy to do it.
  • 00:03:26.598 --> 00:03:27.999
  • He's fearless, and it feels like a whole new guy in a good way.
  • 00:03:27.999 --> 00:03:33.138
  • Well,
  • 00:03:33.371 --> 00:03:34.472
  • By all accounts, the hostage release only happened
  • 00:03:34.472 --> 00:03:36.541
  • When president trump threatened full force against hamas.
  • 00:03:36.541 --> 00:03:40.011
  • But getting all the hostages out
  • 00:03:40.011 --> 00:03:41.179
  • Is going to take a bit of time.
  • 00:03:41.179 --> 00:03:42.947
  • History makes it clear that
  • 00:03:42.947 --> 00:03:44.215
  • You can't negotiate with evil because evil doesn't play fair.
  • 00:03:44.215 --> 00:03:47.052
  • That's why we call it evil.
  • 00:03:47.052 --> 00:03:48.820
  • When you look at the horrendous
  • 00:03:48.820 --> 00:03:49.888
  • Events that took place on october 7th.
  • 00:03:49.888 --> 00:03:51.956
  • Hamas and its agenda can only be described as evil.
  • 00:03:51.956 --> 00:03:55.794
  • So what's your opinion of the israeli hamas ceasefire?
  • 00:03:55.794 --> 00:03:59.030
  • How do you think president trump's
  • 00:03:59.030 --> 00:04:00.265
  • Support of israel will impact what's happening there now?
  • 00:04:00.265 --> 00:04:03.435
  • Yeah, i'm very positive on it.
  • 00:04:03.435 --> 00:04:04.769
  • And i'll tell you that israelis are don't all love it,
  • 00:04:04.769 --> 00:04:08.807
  • Particularly those who i think see eye to eye with us
  • 00:04:08.807 --> 00:04:11.142
  • Politically, people
  • 00:04:11.142 --> 00:04:12.010
  • On the conservative side
  • 00:04:12.010 --> 00:04:13.311
  • Of the spectrum, because they would like
  • 00:04:13.311 --> 00:04:14.846
  • To see hamas completely decimated
  • 00:04:14.846 --> 00:04:16.915
  • And they would like to see
  • 00:04:16.915 --> 00:04:17.816
  • All the hostages come home right away.
  • 00:04:17.816 --> 00:04:20.418
  • But the bottom line is that with joe biden, a weak u.s.
  • 00:04:20.418 --> 00:04:23.855
  • President in power,
  • 00:04:23.855 --> 00:04:25.457
  • There was never going to be a ceasefire
  • 00:04:25.457 --> 00:04:26.958
  • Because there was never going to be a point
  • 00:04:26.958 --> 00:04:28.393
  • Where either side thought that, okay,
  • 00:04:28.393 --> 00:04:30.695
  • We can wrap this thing up and see where it goes from here.
  • 00:04:30.695 --> 00:04:33.732
  • Netanyahu, i'm sure, wished he got more out of the deal,
  • 00:04:33.732 --> 00:04:37.202
  • But he knows he's got the confidence
  • 00:04:37.202 --> 00:04:39.270
  • Of donald trump,
  • 00:04:39.270 --> 00:04:40.338
  • And he knows that donald trump will be there, show
  • 00:04:40.338 --> 00:04:42.240
  • That he has the ability to continue
  • 00:04:42.240 --> 00:04:44.309
  • To push back against the forces that wish to do his real harm.
  • 00:04:44.309 --> 00:04:48.213
  • Of course, you're talking about hamas,
  • 00:04:48.213 --> 00:04:49.414
  • But also hezbollah, iran, qatar, others.
  • 00:04:49.414 --> 00:04:52.417
  • So he didn't need to necessarily get everything he wanted
  • 00:04:52.417 --> 00:04:55.320
  • Right away.
  • 00:04:55.320 --> 00:04:56.054
  • And we can
  • 00:04:56.054 --> 00:04:57.288
  • Start the healing process in sort of a staged or phased way.
  • 00:04:57.288 --> 00:05:00.558
  • So trump gets all the credit.
  • 00:05:00.558 --> 00:05:01.760
  • I think it's a very good deal imperfect, but very good.
  • 00:05:01.760 --> 00:05:04.229
  • And i have high hopes that it's going
  • 00:05:04.229 --> 00:05:05.964
  • To be a great four years for not just america, but for israel
  • 00:05:05.964 --> 00:05:09.000
  • As well.
  • 00:05:09.000 --> 00:05:10.268
  • Well, on the issue of our safety
  • 00:05:10.902 --> 00:05:12.670
  • In this country, the borders are has begun his work.
  • 00:05:12.670 --> 00:05:16.007
  • But this is going to take years isn't it, to find round up
  • 00:05:16.007 --> 00:05:19.077
  • And evict
  • 00:05:19.077 --> 00:05:20.311
  • Not just the known criminals but the terrorist who the fbi lost
  • 00:05:20.311 --> 00:05:22.747
  • Track of when they poured through the open borders.
  • 00:05:22.747 --> 00:05:25.817
  • Trump says he's taking immediate action.
  • 00:05:25.817 --> 00:05:28.620
  • Listen to this.
  • 00:05:28.620 --> 00:05:30.522
  • All illegal entry will immediately be halted,
  • 00:05:30.522 --> 00:05:34.492
  • And we will begin the process of returning millions
  • 00:05:34.492 --> 00:05:37.896
  • And millions of criminal aliens
  • 00:05:37.896 --> 00:05:40.198
  • Back to the places from which they came.
  • 00:05:40.198 --> 00:05:43.301
  • We will reinstate my remain
  • 00:05:43.902 --> 00:05:47.038
  • In mexico policy.
  • 00:05:47.038 --> 00:05:52.410
  • Well, at least one big city
  • 00:05:53.011 --> 00:05:54.446
  • Mayor has pushed back on tom holman's effort.
  • 00:05:54.446 --> 00:05:57.449
  • How can anyone defend letting
  • 00:05:57.449 --> 00:05:58.917
  • Criminals and terrorists just roam free?
  • 00:05:58.917 --> 00:06:02.053
  • So they can't.
  • 00:06:02.387 --> 00:06:03.855
  • But i feel like this
  • 00:06:03.855 --> 00:06:05.190
  • Has been taken as gospel truth by the left for so long.
  • 00:06:05.190 --> 00:06:08.793
  • I live just north of los angeles.
  • 00:06:08.793 --> 00:06:10.829
  • I grew up in
  • 00:06:10.829 --> 00:06:11.896
  • Los angeles and illegal aliens were taken as a given.
  • 00:06:11.896 --> 00:06:15.366
  • It was just assumed
  • 00:06:15.366 --> 00:06:16.768
  • That we're supposed to leave our border open.
  • 00:06:16.768 --> 00:06:18.403
  • It wasn't even discussed,
  • 00:06:18.403 --> 00:06:20.004
  • Really, until donald trump came down that escalator.
  • 00:06:20.004 --> 00:06:22.273
  • Really?
  • 00:06:22.273 --> 00:06:23.541
  • To be honest, a couple of years prior when we breitbart started
  • 00:06:23.541 --> 00:06:25.109
  • Covering this as a real crisis in this country are open border.
  • 00:06:25.109 --> 00:06:28.913
  • But for decades, for very long time,
  • 00:06:28.913 --> 00:06:31.282
  • The politicians on both sides of the aisle
  • 00:06:31.282 --> 00:06:33.218
  • Did not take our open border seriously.
  • 00:06:33.218 --> 00:06:35.086
  • It's only become fashionable to talk about it
  • 00:06:35.086 --> 00:06:37.422
  • Within the last decade, and trump
  • 00:06:37.422 --> 00:06:39.190
  • Gets a lot of the credit for that.
  • 00:06:39.190 --> 00:06:40.558
  • So we have to coach people up.
  • 00:06:40.558 --> 00:06:42.894
  • We have to teach them.
  • 00:06:42.894 --> 00:06:44.095
  • They really have to unlearn these ridiculous opinions that
  • 00:06:44.095 --> 00:06:46.898
  • They've had, that it is humane to have an open border.
  • 00:06:46.898 --> 00:06:49.968
  • It's completely inhumane.
  • 00:06:49.968 --> 00:06:51.703
  • It leads to the thriving cartel industry
  • 00:06:51.703 --> 00:06:54.239
  • Where they're smuggling humans and drugs and potentially
  • 00:06:54.239 --> 00:06:57.408
  • Guns and weaponry,
  • 00:06:57.408 --> 00:06:58.776
  • Bad people
  • 00:06:58.776 --> 00:06:59.477
  • From all over the world,
  • 00:06:59.477 --> 00:07:00.345
  • Coming up through our porous border
  • 00:07:00.345 --> 00:07:01.946
  • And doing harm to american cities,
  • 00:07:01.946 --> 00:07:04.015
  • Particularly with the drug trade as well as crime.
  • 00:07:04.015 --> 00:07:07.051
  • They've accepted this, and now they have to admit
  • 00:07:07.051 --> 00:07:09.821
  • To themselves that they were wrong.
  • 00:07:09.821 --> 00:07:11.956
  • They were wrong for a very long time.
  • 00:07:11.956 --> 00:07:13.558
  • And a lot of people died because they were wrong.
  • 00:07:13.558 --> 00:07:15.793
  • That's going to be tough to do.
  • 00:07:15.793 --> 00:07:17.195
  • So it's not going to happen overnight.
  • 00:07:17.195 --> 00:07:18.763
  • But we've started in a major way in the last 24 hours.
  • 00:07:18.763 --> 00:07:21.900
  • Well, it was hard to miss the digital titans standing
  • 00:07:22.934 --> 00:07:25.503
  • Right behind president trump's family at the inaugural.
  • 00:07:25.503 --> 00:07:28.306
  • Jeff bezos, elon musk, mark zuckerberg, the ceo of google.
  • 00:07:28.306 --> 00:07:32.510
  • And there were others.
  • 00:07:32.510 --> 00:07:34.078
  • Could that be a sign
  • 00:07:34.078 --> 00:07:35.146
  • Of a better future between business and washington?
  • 00:07:35.146 --> 00:07:38.049
  • You know, the progressives are claiming
  • 00:07:38.049 --> 00:07:39.584
  • That the oligarchs have assembled
  • 00:07:39.584 --> 00:07:41.519
  • To complete a takeover.
  • 00:07:41.519 --> 00:07:43.021
  • Strikes me
  • 00:07:43.021 --> 00:07:44.155
  • As ironic that those same people were just as warriors
  • 00:07:44.155 --> 00:07:45.990
  • When they were working for biden.
  • 00:07:45.990 --> 00:07:47.926
  • How do you understand the realignment?
  • 00:07:47.926 --> 00:07:50.595
  • Yeah, it's interesting because all of these companies
  • 00:07:50.595 --> 00:07:53.398
  • Were very supportive of democrat policies until 20 minutes ago.
  • 00:07:53.398 --> 00:07:57.435
  • So now all of a sudden they're concerned about the oligarchy.
  • 00:07:57.435 --> 00:08:00.138
  • When it was this group, not to mention
  • 00:08:00.138 --> 00:08:02.206
  • Wall street and hollywood and the establishment media
  • 00:08:02.206 --> 00:08:05.043
  • And the george soros as other world,
  • 00:08:05.043 --> 00:08:06.878
  • All funding democrat
  • 00:08:06.878 --> 00:08:07.979
  • Policies, laurene powell jobs, he's
  • 00:08:07.979 --> 00:08:10.081
  • Been the star of a lot of my research
  • 00:08:10.081 --> 00:08:11.716
  • Who inherited all our wealth from steve jobs.
  • 00:08:11.716 --> 00:08:14.953
  • When she became his widow,
  • 00:08:14.953 --> 00:08:16.888
  • She got all her money from disney and apple,
  • 00:08:16.888 --> 00:08:18.957
  • And then she funds every left wing cause you can think of.
  • 00:08:18.957 --> 00:08:21.159
  • And his best friends with kamala harris.
  • 00:08:21.159 --> 00:08:22.860
  • We live in an oligarchy, at least until november the 5th,
  • 00:08:22.860 --> 00:08:27.465
  • Because the democrats are part of an oligarchic class.
  • 00:08:27.465 --> 00:08:30.268
  • But i will tell you, there was a surreal
  • 00:08:30.268 --> 00:08:32.370
  • And wonderful moment that took place
  • 00:08:32.370 --> 00:08:34.072
  • Just this morning as we're recording this,
  • 00:08:34.072 --> 00:08:35.873
  • Where trump brought these tech titans to church.
  • 00:08:35.873 --> 00:08:38.543
  • He brought them to a prayer breakfast,
  • 00:08:38.543 --> 00:08:40.678
  • And he's having them sit there and pray and think about god.
  • 00:08:40.678 --> 00:08:44.282
  • These are the most godless people on the planet.
  • 00:08:44.282 --> 00:08:46.417
  • I can't speak to all of them individually,
  • 00:08:46.417 --> 00:08:47.952
  • But as a culture, the tech class in this country
  • 00:08:47.952 --> 00:08:50.288
  • Is the most godless class of people we have.
  • 00:08:50.288 --> 00:08:52.657
  • And the trump is bringing them to a prayer breakfast,
  • 00:08:52.657 --> 00:08:54.826
  • I think is a massive cultural moment.
  • 00:08:54.826 --> 00:08:57.228
  • And i don't trust them.
  • 00:08:57.228 --> 00:08:58.596
  • They need to prove themselves
  • 00:08:58.596 --> 00:08:59.998
  • For a very long time, but i certainly prefer
  • 00:08:59.998 --> 00:09:03.768
  • The way things are today than they were a few months ago.
  • 00:09:03.768 --> 00:09:07.372
  • Know, i think
  • 00:09:07.739 --> 00:09:08.840
  • Reagan's mantra of trust but verify is appropriate.
  • 00:09:08.840 --> 00:09:12.510
  • But we'll have more with alex morello in just a moment.
  • 00:09:12.510 --> 00:09:15.279
  • There's so much to talk about right now.
  • 00:09:15.279 --> 00:09:17.515
  • You can send in an email if you want to share
  • 00:09:17.515 --> 00:09:19.250
  • Some thoughts of your own.
  • 00:09:19.250 --> 00:09:21.219
  • We will read them all and answer
  • 00:09:21.219 --> 00:09:22.754
  • Many of them at the end of each program.
  • 00:09:22.754 --> 00:09:24.922
  • The address is comments at alan jackson now.com.
  • 00:09:24.922 --> 00:09:33.006
  • The address is comments at alan jackson now.com.
  • 00:09:33.006 --> 00:09:35.100
  • We're back now with the editor
  • 00:09:35.701 --> 00:09:37.069
  • In chief of breitbart news, alex marlow,
  • 00:09:37.069 --> 00:09:40.172
  • At trump's swearing in.
  • 00:09:40.673 --> 00:09:41.974
  • One member of congress said
  • 00:09:41.974 --> 00:09:43.442
  • The power of the people in this building
  • 00:09:43.442 --> 00:09:45.744
  • Comes from the people in this country.
  • 00:09:45.744 --> 00:09:48.380
  • Well, the people did speak
  • 00:09:48.380 --> 00:09:49.648
  • And they made clear they wanted big change.
  • 00:09:49.648 --> 00:09:52.184
  • Nevertheless, former president biden left office by pardoning
  • 00:09:52.184 --> 00:09:55.454
  • Thousands of people with illegal drug convictions.
  • 00:09:55.454 --> 00:09:58.757
  • He also pardoned the january 6th investigative committee,
  • 00:09:58.757 --> 00:10:01.827
  • Including liz cheney.
  • 00:10:01.827 --> 00:10:03.529
  • And then he pardoned anthony fauci.
  • 00:10:03.529 --> 00:10:05.698
  • Even though we've learned over time
  • 00:10:05.698 --> 00:10:07.099
  • That it was fauci's
  • 00:10:07.099 --> 00:10:08.267
  • Gain of function testing that led to the covid outbreak,
  • 00:10:08.267 --> 00:10:11.437
  • More than 7 million people have died from covid.
  • 00:10:11.437 --> 00:10:14.339
  • And fauci's
  • 00:10:14.339 --> 00:10:15.007
  • Now free to collect
  • 00:10:15.007 --> 00:10:16.075
  • His government pension of well over $400,000 a year
  • 00:10:16.075 --> 00:10:19.044
  • Without fear of any consequences.
  • 00:10:19.044 --> 00:10:21.680
  • Is that the legacy?
  • 00:10:21.680 --> 00:10:22.881
  • Joe biden wanted to leave 7 million dead and no apology
  • 00:10:22.881 --> 00:10:25.951
  • And no recourse?
  • 00:10:25.951 --> 00:10:27.453
  • Seems like an odd legacy to me. alex, what do you think?
  • 00:10:27.453 --> 00:10:30.289
  • Yeah, it's a terrible legacy.
  • 00:10:30.923 --> 00:10:32.424
  • It's really interesting how biden's
  • 00:10:32.424 --> 00:10:34.793
  • Dream was to have a legacy.
  • 00:10:34.793 --> 00:10:36.695
  • I wrote a book about joe biden.
  • 00:10:36.695 --> 00:10:37.796
  • I studied him for longer than any person should,
  • 00:10:37.796 --> 00:10:40.232
  • But hey, he lost.
  • 00:10:40.232 --> 00:10:41.266
  • So maybe it's a good thing i spent all that time.
  • 00:10:41.266 --> 00:10:43.569
  • But he didn't really just wanted to be president.
  • 00:10:43.569 --> 00:10:46.004
  • He wanted to be president.
  • 00:10:46.004 --> 00:10:47.339
  • But he thought of himself as even larger than that,
  • 00:10:47.339 --> 00:10:49.742
  • And it was his intention to pass on his legacy to an heir.
  • 00:10:49.742 --> 00:10:54.113
  • I was originally going to be
  • 00:10:54.113 --> 00:10:55.781
  • His son, beau, who passed away of cancer about a decade ago.
  • 00:10:55.781 --> 00:10:59.351
  • And so that was a very tragic loss for him.
  • 00:10:59.351 --> 00:11:01.186
  • And then now the fact that trump won and erase so much of joe
  • 00:11:01.186 --> 00:11:05.290
  • Biden's legacy
  • 00:11:05.290 --> 00:11:06.425
  • With the stroke of a pen within the first day or two,
  • 00:11:06.425 --> 00:11:09.328
  • We're going to see a guy who is going to be remembered
  • 00:11:09.328 --> 00:11:11.630
  • History largely for the inflation
  • 00:11:11.630 --> 00:11:13.565
  • And for being the guy who,
  • 00:11:13.565 --> 00:11:15.501
  • They kept trump's seat warm for four years.
  • 00:11:15.501 --> 00:11:17.870
  • And these pardons
  • 00:11:17.870 --> 00:11:19.204
  • Are truly disgraceful to announce
  • 00:11:19.204 --> 00:11:20.906
  • That your entire family could have committed
  • 00:11:20.906 --> 00:11:22.908
  • All number of crimes for a ten year window
  • 00:11:22.908 --> 00:11:25.677
  • And will never be held accountable
  • 00:11:25.677 --> 00:11:27.579
  • For any of them,
  • 00:11:27.579 --> 00:11:28.747
  • And that there's not a single one that you deem worthy
  • 00:11:28.747 --> 00:11:31.784
  • Of being investigated or having any accountability is bad.
  • 00:11:31.784 --> 00:11:36.088
  • But all of these other pardons that he gave a doctor, fauci,
  • 00:11:36.088 --> 00:11:39.091
  • He didn't just fund that gain of function research.
  • 00:11:39.091 --> 00:11:41.226
  • He didn't just lie to us about the masks.
  • 00:11:41.226 --> 00:11:43.228
  • He didn't just tell us that we were allowed
  • 00:11:43.228 --> 00:11:45.430
  • To go to a black lives matter rally, riots.
  • 00:11:45.430 --> 00:11:47.900
  • But we weren't allowed to comfort our loved ones
  • 00:11:47.900 --> 00:11:49.968
  • As they were dying alone in a hospital.
  • 00:11:49.968 --> 00:11:51.770
  • He didn't just he wasn't just responsible for those policies.
  • 00:11:51.770 --> 00:11:54.606
  • He funded the gain of function research at the wuhan lab
  • 00:11:54.606 --> 00:11:57.609
  • And then
  • 00:11:57.609 --> 00:11:58.777
  • Lied about it in a testimony right to rand paul's face.
  • 00:11:58.777 --> 00:12:01.713
  • And rand paul busted him on it.
  • 00:12:01.713 --> 00:12:03.582
  • Clearly, that was illegal.
  • 00:12:03.582 --> 00:12:04.716
  • And that's why he's getting pardoned.
  • 00:12:04.716 --> 00:12:06.084
  • It's not some sort of a joke. he did something illegal.
  • 00:12:06.084 --> 00:12:08.287
  • At least cheney clearly tampered with witnesses
  • 00:12:08.287 --> 00:12:10.789
  • And destroyed records. that's why she's getting a pardon.
  • 00:12:10.789 --> 00:12:13.492
  • General milley
  • 00:12:13.492 --> 00:12:14.359
  • Clearly had off the book conversations
  • 00:12:14.359 --> 00:12:16.195
  • With officials, probably chinese officials.
  • 00:12:16.195 --> 00:12:18.163
  • I'm asserting at this point
  • 00:12:18.163 --> 00:12:19.765
  • Now that confidential information was shared,
  • 00:12:19.765 --> 00:12:22.134
  • Or else he wouldn't have needed a pardon.
  • 00:12:22.134 --> 00:12:23.969
  • These are very important things to reflect on,
  • 00:12:23.969 --> 00:12:26.171
  • Because it's not just biden playing defense for his friends.
  • 00:12:26.171 --> 00:12:29.441
  • This is admission of criminal guilt
  • 00:12:29.441 --> 00:12:31.009
  • For bad people who are running this country.
  • 00:12:31.009 --> 00:12:33.679
  • It seemed particularly
  • 00:12:34.146 --> 00:12:35.447
  • Troubling to me that he issued pardons for his family,
  • 00:12:35.447 --> 00:12:38.684
  • His brother james biden and his wife, as well as frances
  • 00:12:38.684 --> 00:12:41.353
  • Biden and his sister valerie and her husband.
  • 00:12:41.353 --> 00:12:44.690
  • He did it with less than 20 minutes to go as president,
  • 00:12:44.690 --> 00:12:48.160
  • We'd already pardoned hunter for crimes that
  • 00:12:48.160 --> 00:12:50.662
  • May have been committed across the 11 year window of time.
  • 00:12:50.662 --> 00:12:54.166
  • You know, there's a supreme court
  • 00:12:54.166 --> 00:12:55.133
  • Case from years ago where the court held
  • 00:12:55.133 --> 00:12:57.603
  • That accepting a pardon implicitly
  • 00:12:57.603 --> 00:12:59.538
  • Admits guilt for the offense, which the pardon is granted.
  • 00:12:59.538 --> 00:13:03.342
  • It's my speculation, but with all the money that joe
  • 00:13:03.342 --> 00:13:05.377
  • And hunter received
  • 00:13:05.377 --> 00:13:06.511
  • Millions of dollars from china, among others,
  • 00:13:06.511 --> 00:13:09.081
  • It leads us to wonder if all these other family
  • 00:13:09.081 --> 00:13:10.949
  • Members were all involved in some way
  • 00:13:10.949 --> 00:13:12.718
  • In getting a share of the millions.
  • 00:13:12.718 --> 00:13:15.420
  • Yeah, that's exactly right.
  • 00:13:16.021 --> 00:13:17.089
  • And i've done a lot of podcasting on this.
  • 00:13:17.089 --> 00:13:18.891
  • If people are curious, the alex marlowe
  • 00:13:18.891 --> 00:13:20.826
  • Show is available wherever you get your podcasts,
  • 00:13:20.826 --> 00:13:22.761
  • And i walked through all of the various crimes
  • 00:13:22.761 --> 00:13:25.797
  • That i believe the biden family has,
  • 00:13:25.797 --> 00:13:28.800
  • If not committed, that we at least
  • 00:13:28.800 --> 00:13:30.168
  • Haven't gotten to the bottom of.
  • 00:13:30.168 --> 00:13:31.670
  • But it's not a coincidence
  • 00:13:31.670 --> 00:13:33.005
  • That they chose january the 1st, 2014 as the date,
  • 00:13:33.005 --> 00:13:36.608
  • Because that was right before the biden family cut deals
  • 00:13:36.608 --> 00:13:40.512
  • With chinese companies, russian company, ukrainian company.
  • 00:13:40.512 --> 00:13:44.349
  • All these companies who that are backed
  • 00:13:44.349 --> 00:13:46.685
  • With the power and blessing of their various governments.
  • 00:13:46.685 --> 00:13:50.188
  • This is clearly acting as a agents of foreign governments
  • 00:13:50.188 --> 00:13:53.959
  • In fear of violations, not to mention
  • 00:13:53.959 --> 00:13:56.295
  • Hunter biden's art graft,
  • 00:13:56.295 --> 00:13:57.596
  • Which clearly was designed to get foreign governments
  • 00:13:57.596 --> 00:14:00.198
  • To funnel money to the biden family.
  • 00:14:00.198 --> 00:14:02.367
  • And all that's clear as day that that was the case.
  • 00:14:02.367 --> 00:14:05.003
  • No actual reputable art critic
  • 00:14:05.003 --> 00:14:06.972
  • Thought hunter's art was any good,
  • 00:14:06.972 --> 00:14:08.573
  • And yet he was selling prints
  • 00:14:08.573 --> 00:14:09.741
  • For five and even six figure sums.
  • 00:14:09.741 --> 00:14:11.910
  • All this was criminal.
  • 00:14:11.910 --> 00:14:12.844
  • It was just a matter of time
  • 00:14:12.844 --> 00:14:13.679
  • Before he's going to figure it out.
  • 00:14:13.679 --> 00:14:15.047
  • And this is an announcement to the world
  • 00:14:15.047 --> 00:14:16.882
  • That joe biden's family is a crime family.
  • 00:14:16.882 --> 00:14:18.684
  • And given what you just read,
  • 00:14:18.684 --> 00:14:20.986
  • That is how the supreme court would look at it.
  • 00:14:20.986 --> 00:14:23.522
  • Well, president trump made
  • 00:14:24.089 --> 00:14:25.223
  • Reference to the assassination attempt in pennsylvania,
  • 00:14:25.223 --> 00:14:28.160
  • And he said he believed it was god's blessing
  • 00:14:28.160 --> 00:14:30.262
  • That allowed him to live for a very good reason.
  • 00:14:30.262 --> 00:14:33.265
  • Listen to what he said.
  • 00:14:33.265 --> 00:14:35.434
  • Just a few months ago, in a beautiful pennsylvania
  • 00:14:35.434 --> 00:14:38.370
  • Field, an assassin's bullet ripped through my ear.
  • 00:14:38.370 --> 00:14:42.574
  • But i felt then and believe even more
  • 00:14:43.375 --> 00:14:45.377
  • So now, that my life was saved for a reason.
  • 00:14:45.377 --> 00:14:49.848
  • I was saved by god to make america
  • 00:14:49.848 --> 00:14:53.218
  • Great again.
  • 00:14:53.218 --> 00:14:57.022
  • When he said it, a large part of the room stood up and cheered.
  • 00:14:58.190 --> 00:15:01.426
  • But joe biden and kamala
  • 00:15:01.960 --> 00:15:03.228
  • Harris didn't stand and didn't even clap.
  • 00:15:03.228 --> 00:15:06.431
  • Well, they may argue with the maga line,
  • 00:15:06.431 --> 00:15:08.600
  • But how can anyone not cheer for someone
  • 00:15:08.600 --> 00:15:10.635
  • Who was nearly assassinated and thanked god for saving him?
  • 00:15:10.635 --> 00:15:16.141
  • The great
  • 00:15:16.441 --> 00:15:17.609
  • Question and they should have stood and cheered there.
  • 00:15:17.609 --> 00:15:20.112
  • It's an interesting thing, because joe biden always played
  • 00:15:20.112 --> 00:15:22.814
  • To his catholic faith and acted as though
  • 00:15:22.814 --> 00:15:24.950
  • He was a man of faith, and yet he consistently undermined basic
  • 00:15:24.950 --> 00:15:28.553
  • Judeo-christian values throughout the course
  • 00:15:28.553 --> 00:15:30.422
  • Of the administration, particularly with the pandering
  • 00:15:30.422 --> 00:15:32.858
  • To the abortion industry nonstop.
  • 00:15:32.858 --> 00:15:34.893
  • But there are other things, as well, that were deeply immoral.
  • 00:15:34.893 --> 00:15:37.029
  • And he's a true liar.
  • 00:15:37.029 --> 00:15:38.463
  • I spent so much time studying joe biden,
  • 00:15:38.463 --> 00:15:41.299
  • And i
  • 00:15:41.299 --> 00:15:42.000
  • Concluded something about him
  • 00:15:42.000 --> 00:15:42.768
  • That i don't believe i concluded
  • 00:15:42.768 --> 00:15:44.870
  • About any other major democrat politician
  • 00:15:44.870 --> 00:15:46.738
  • That i've looked into is that i'm convinced he's a bad person.
  • 00:15:46.738 --> 00:15:49.341
  • He's not just a bad politician.
  • 00:15:49.341 --> 00:15:50.742
  • I can't think of another democrat
  • 00:15:50.742 --> 00:15:51.843
  • That i would guarantee that that's the case.
  • 00:15:51.843 --> 00:15:53.979
  • There are some.
  • 00:15:53.979 --> 00:15:54.980
  • I have my speculations, but i've concluded that
  • 00:15:54.980 --> 00:15:56.715
  • And that's a clear example of it.
  • 00:15:56.715 --> 00:15:57.983
  • He should sit up and cheered. he nearly died.
  • 00:15:57.983 --> 00:16:00.285
  • He was almost shot and killed.
  • 00:16:00.285 --> 00:16:01.920
  • And now his goal is to make america great again.
  • 00:16:01.920 --> 00:16:04.589
  • And if you were a classy man,
  • 00:16:04.589 --> 00:16:05.824
  • You would have stood up and cheered. and he couldn't.
  • 00:16:05.824 --> 00:16:07.759
  • But who knows if he
  • 00:16:07.759 --> 00:16:08.860
  • If he even remembered where he was at the time. pastor
  • 00:16:08.860 --> 00:16:11.963
  • Alex, thank you for your commitment to telling the truth
  • 00:16:13.065 --> 00:16:15.767
  • And for taking a few moments with us on the program.
  • 00:16:15.767 --> 00:16:17.969
  • I hope you'll come back again.
  • 00:16:17.969 --> 00:16:19.938
  • Whenever you like.
  • 00:16:19.938 --> 00:16:20.505
  • This is fine.
  • 00:16:20.505 --> 00:16:21.339
  • Absolutely.
  • 00:16:21.339 --> 00:16:22.274
  • Well, i'll have some thoughts of my own
  • 00:16:22.274 --> 00:16:23.842
  • About our potential for our future when we come back.
  • 00:16:23.842 --> 00:16:32.008
  • About our potential for our future when we come back.
  • 00:16:32.008 --> 00:16:34.053
  • Well, i have a question for you.
  • 00:16:34.687 --> 00:16:36.422
  • Would you rather live in a nation of bad
  • 00:16:36.422 --> 00:16:38.257
  • People with good laws?
  • 00:16:38.257 --> 00:16:40.226
  • Or a nation of good people with bad laws?
  • 00:16:40.226 --> 00:16:43.062
  • Well, the answer is pretty simple.
  • 00:16:43.062 --> 00:16:44.597
  • Bad people will tear down good laws, but
  • 00:16:44.597 --> 00:16:47.400
  • Good people will work to repair bad laws.
  • 00:16:47.400 --> 00:16:50.636
  • Now, i'm glad
  • 00:16:50.636 --> 00:16:51.804
  • That bad laws are being undone by the new administration,
  • 00:16:51.804 --> 00:16:54.540
  • But because the root of our problem is spiritual,
  • 00:16:54.540 --> 00:16:57.610
  • Our bigger goal should be to change people's hearts,
  • 00:16:57.610 --> 00:17:00.346
  • Not just change politicians.
  • 00:17:00.346 --> 00:17:02.448
  • Well, in order to bring real and lasting change,
  • 00:17:02.448 --> 00:17:04.851
  • We need more people with a heart for god.
  • 00:17:04.851 --> 00:17:07.253
  • People who want to uphold
  • 00:17:07.253 --> 00:17:08.488
  • Godly principles and see them influence the world we live in.
  • 00:17:08.488 --> 00:17:12.291
  • Jeremiah 24 seven says this i'll give them a heart to know me,
  • 00:17:12.291 --> 00:17:16.496
  • That i am the lord, and they'll be my people,
  • 00:17:16.496 --> 00:17:18.598
  • And i'll be their god, for they will return to me with all
  • 00:17:18.598 --> 00:17:21.801
  • Their heart.
  • 00:17:21.801 --> 00:17:23.035
  • We're going to need to do
  • 00:17:23.603 --> 00:17:24.704
  • More than study and talk about religious doctrines.
  • 00:17:24.704 --> 00:17:27.740
  • We're going to need
  • 00:17:28.207 --> 00:17:29.442
  • To live out our faith in a way that introduces people to jesus.
  • 00:17:29.442 --> 00:17:32.912
  • But more than that helps us live our faith
  • 00:17:32.912 --> 00:17:34.580
  • Out in a meaningful way.
  • 00:17:34.580 --> 00:17:36.516
  • I remember very well those weeks in those days
  • 00:17:36.516 --> 00:17:38.818
  • Leading up to the election in november,
  • 00:17:38.818 --> 00:17:40.553
  • There was a lot of anxiety amongst all of us.
  • 00:17:40.553 --> 00:17:44.390
  • Well, i have a very similar sense of anxiety these days.
  • 00:17:44.390 --> 00:17:47.193
  • There's a tendency to think that the people
  • 00:17:47.193 --> 00:17:48.861
  • Who sent to washington are going to fix our problems.
  • 00:17:48.861 --> 00:17:51.397
  • Folks, we have to change.
  • 00:17:51.397 --> 00:17:53.633
  • I want to give you
  • 00:17:53.633 --> 00:17:54.700
  • A simple response that we can all walk towards.
  • 00:17:54.700 --> 00:17:57.470
  • Let's read the gospels together matthew, mark, luke, and john,
  • 00:17:57.470 --> 00:18:00.706
  • 15 minutes a day.
  • 00:18:00.706 --> 00:18:01.841
  • We can read through them in 60 days. let's begin
  • 00:18:01.841 --> 00:18:04.510
  • Our year by intentionally turning our faces to god.
  • 00:18:04.510 --> 00:18:07.780
  • It'll bring his blessing
  • 00:18:07.780 --> 00:18:08.915
  • To you, to your home, and just perhaps, to our nation.
  • 00:18:08.915 --> 00:18:13.286
  • And with that, there's more reasons
  • 00:18:13.286 --> 00:18:14.720
  • For hope than despair, i promise.
  • 00:18:14.720 --> 00:18:17.290
  • Well, we'll be back in just a moment with your emails.
  • 00:18:17.290 --> 00:18:26.005
  • Well, we'll be back in just a moment with your emails.
  • 00:18:26.005 --> 00:18:27.568
  • Thank you for taking the time to share your emails with us.
  • 00:18:28.769 --> 00:18:31.205
  • We always look forward to reading them.
  • 00:18:31.205 --> 00:18:33.407
  • Susan a in pennsylvania, i watch
  • 00:18:33.407 --> 00:18:35.809
  • Huckabee and allen jackson now every single evening.
  • 00:18:35.809 --> 00:18:38.879
  • It occurred to me that since mr.
  • 00:18:38.879 --> 00:18:40.080
  • Huckabee will soon be ambassador huckabee,
  • 00:18:40.080 --> 00:18:42.316
  • And that tbn will have a 30 minute timeslot to fill
  • 00:18:42.316 --> 00:18:45.485
  • That, the perfect solution
  • 00:18:45.485 --> 00:18:46.587
  • Would be to make alan jackson, now a 60 minute program.
  • 00:18:46.587 --> 00:18:50.190
  • I realize that requires a great deal of work and preparation.
  • 00:18:50.190 --> 00:18:53.060
  • However, your guest is so intelligent
  • 00:18:53.060 --> 00:18:54.561
  • And thought provoking and your question
  • 00:18:54.561 --> 00:18:56.029
  • So honest and straightforward.
  • 00:18:56.029 --> 00:18:57.898
  • 30 minutes goes by much too quickly,
  • 00:18:57.898 --> 00:18:59.833
  • Always leaving me longing for more information.
  • 00:18:59.833 --> 00:19:02.669
  • I don't know if this is possible,
  • 00:19:02.669 --> 00:19:03.804
  • But i think if you and tbn would consider
  • 00:19:03.804 --> 00:19:05.505
  • It, you'd be doing all of us a great and valuable service.
  • 00:19:05.505 --> 00:19:09.276
  • Well, susan, i appreciate your vote of confidence.
  • 00:19:09.276 --> 00:19:11.912
  • We are having discussions.
  • 00:19:11.912 --> 00:19:13.647
  • Doesn't look like it's going to happen immediately.
  • 00:19:13.647 --> 00:19:15.315
  • But if you'll keep prompting us,
  • 00:19:15.315 --> 00:19:16.984
  • Maybe the lord will open that door.
  • 00:19:16.984 --> 00:19:18.885
  • And finally, from donna beckman, she said,
  • 00:19:18.885 --> 00:19:21.154
  • I listen to the sermons and i read the books of pastor.
  • 00:19:21.154 --> 00:19:23.490
  • My question is,
  • 00:19:23.490 --> 00:19:25.092
  • How are we, as christians,
  • 00:19:25.092 --> 00:19:26.326
  • Supposed to react when we work with a person who's transgender?
  • 00:19:26.326 --> 00:19:29.730
  • My work supervisors want us to call them a female,
  • 00:19:29.730 --> 00:19:32.599
  • Even though he was born a male.
  • 00:19:32.599 --> 00:19:34.468
  • I don't believe that god wants us to encourage this, said.
  • 00:19:34.468 --> 00:19:37.671
  • Please help me to understand the path i should take.
  • 00:19:37.671 --> 00:19:40.674
  • It's a good question, don
  • 00:19:40.674 --> 00:19:41.708
  • And there's not really an easy answer.
  • 00:19:41.708 --> 00:19:43.844
  • I think the general guidelines is understanding.
  • 00:19:43.844 --> 00:19:46.013
  • We go into the marketplace to work.
  • 00:19:46.013 --> 00:19:47.981
  • We work with people that hold
  • 00:19:47.981 --> 00:19:49.216
  • A whole variety of life views and ideologies.
  • 00:19:49.216 --> 00:19:52.452
  • We may work with people who struggle
  • 00:19:52.452 --> 00:19:53.720
  • With alcohol or people who practice immorality.
  • 00:19:53.720 --> 00:19:56.590
  • From a biblical perspective at least.
  • 00:19:56.590 --> 00:19:58.792
  • We treat all of those people with respect and dignity
  • 00:19:58.792 --> 00:20:01.595
  • Without encouraging them or affirming them in behaviors
  • 00:20:01.595 --> 00:20:04.364
  • That ultimately lead to destruction.
  • 00:20:04.364 --> 00:20:06.300
  • It's not easy,
  • 00:20:06.300 --> 00:20:07.301
  • But i found that if i pray, the lord
  • 00:20:07.301 --> 00:20:08.735
  • Usually gives me a pathway through
  • 00:20:08.735 --> 00:20:10.837
  • That enables me to show respect without yielding my values.
  • 00:20:10.837 --> 00:20:15.175
  • Thanks for watching our show.
  • 00:20:15.809 --> 00:20:17.311
  • If you missed the live presentation,
  • 00:20:17.311 --> 00:20:19.212
  • Go to our youtube channel.

  • You can watch it there at your leisure if you'll subscribe.
  • 00:20:20.614 --> 00:20:23.283
  • It'll help others find it.
  • 00:20:23.283 --> 00:20:25.252
  • Well, if you haven't yet,
  • 00:20:25.252 --> 00:20:26.086

  • 00:20:31.792 --> 00:20:33.560
  • I'm alan jackson.
  • 00:20:33.560 --> 00:20:34.828
  • Have a wonderful evening.
  • 00:20:34.828 --> 00:20:34.828
