Charlie Kirk (4:22)
Minor detail, we solved a major war between two nations that bitterly hate each other with fighter jets being shot down and military bases that were strike just kind of minor details. We solved that. And then he moved on of course to a major announcement. So we saw the nuclear war on Sunday, on Saturday, Sunday and then on Monday major announcement today. President Donald Trump reaching a sudden surprise tariff truce with China. 90 day pause that brings tariffs down from 30% down to 30% from nearly 150%. President Trump is structuring a phenomenal America first winning trade deal, all the While juggling the 900 different other portfolio issues. President Donald Trump is about to head to the Middle east tomorrow on Air Force One. He will fly to the Middle East. He's going to go to Saudi Arabia, he's going to go to Qatar. I think he's going to the uae. He's doing all the major Arab powers, which increasingly is a power center on the planet. And while President Trump is doing that, he says, hey, Putin and Zelensky, in case you guys want to meet, I can easily take a detour from Riyadh and go up to Istanbul. I mean, think about this. This is the way an entrepreneur thinks. Yeah. Look, if I need to detour and reroute, yeah, the Secret Service, they'll figure it out. I'll go to Istanbul and I'll meet with you guys. Do you understand how unique this is? Typically, when US Foreign policy is done, those sort of summits are months in the making, maybe even years in the making, to sit down with the leader of Russia and the head of Ukraine to meet face to face. And President Donald Trump in a moment's notice sends out a true social. Yeah, I'll just swing on by, I'll play dad. I will negotiate, I will facilitate, I will referee this conversation and I'll say, nope, you're lying. Nope, you're lying. Come on, Zelensky, you do this. Vlad, take the deal and I'll just do that in between. Of brokering Middle east peace as well. And oh, by the way, today, Hamas has released the last American Israeli hostage. That's right, there was still an American being held hostage by Hamas. Released by Hamas as President Trump was coming to Middle East. And that is no coincidence, by the way. It's no coincidence President Trump coming to the Middle east and he's going to Qatar in particular. It would be a very bad look that anybody that has any sort of ties to the Palestinian Authority, Hamas, President Trump would have said, hey, bring our boy home. Eden Alexander, an American citizen and an Israeli passport holder, held hostage by Hamas, released by Hamas. So we prevent a nuclear war, we get an American hostage back, we are potentially going to see the Istanbul summit, which, by the way, is where the original breakdown of this entire war happened when Tony Blinken and Boris Johnson went to Istanbul and told the Russian Federation, actually, no, we're not going to settle for peace, for land, for peace. We want to see this war continue. The Russia, Ukrainian war could have ended 10 days in in Istanbul and hundreds of thousands of people would still be alive and millions of people would still be in their homes. But the warmongering machine under Washington D.C. and former President Joe Biden said, no, we're gonna reject that deal. So it is beautifully ironic and a point of completion to go back to Istanbul to hopefully end the war and then we have the China deal. As I've mentioned, on top of that, President Donald Trump revealed a new executive order aimed at slashing prescription drug prices by ordering the federal government to seek to pay no more than other countries do for their drugs. And then, as President Trump has come to the Middle east, he says, I want to try to have an expansion of the Abrahamic Accords and bring peace to the Middle East. I'm sorry, everybody. That three days, you got more done in those three days than anything I could think of for the betterment of the world under George W. Bush, Barack Obama or Joe Biden. Preventing a nuclear war, facilitating Zelensky and Putin getting a hostage released. Signing executive order on prescription drugs. All the while, by the way, our southern border is totally secure. We're getting no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, no tax on Social Security, major middle class tax cut. And despite what the left says, President Trump actually might raise taxes on the wealthy. Something that, look, I kind of shrugged my shoulders. I say if I pay more taxes, but I get less debts or deficits, fine, so be it. Doing a monster deal with one big, beautiful bill. Deregulation. Oil prices are down. Egg prices are down. Inflation is going down. The market, by the way, is up nearly 1,000 points today. And you pause and you say, who's criticizing President Trump again? This is why we got him elected, for this reason. The energy that it takes this week is going to be a masterclass. And we will be here in studio following every single element of this. This is Trump at his best. When Trump is playing offense, when Trump is thinking creatively, when Trump is doing deal after deal after deal, when Trump is in the arena, honestly, I've always said for a while, Trump is better when he travels than when he stays put. When he travels, his mind is going, he gets. It's a life force for him. When he is seeing people meeting people, he leans into the situation. Some people do better when they're just kind of cooped up in their office. Some people do better when they're doing desk work. President Trump takes it into another gear. And as someone who travels a lot, I get that when you're traveling, there's a velocity, there's a momentum, and this is how deals get done. And just to think, could you imagine the people at the CIA and the deep State saying, what do you mean? You're just going to detour and go to Istanbul? That's right. That's how peace is brokered. And could you imagine when the history books are written, if President Trump ends up detouring Istanbul, there is no like pre meeting conditions. There is no kind of like, well, we have to make sure that all these little details are out, just kind of swing and pop on by. This is Trump at his best. By the way, he's about to have a phone call with Xi Jinping as well. All of this simultaneously. It is fair to say President Trump is running the world and running the world for the better. Less war, more lives saved by better trade deals. American workers first. The invasion is over on our southern border and that's only in a couple hours, everybody. And it's only going to get better.

You can find out more about Pastor Alan and the ministry@AlanJackson.com that is AlanJackson.com again, that is AlanJackson.com the criticism of President Trump obviously continues. But if you look objectively at just the last couple of days preventing a war between India and Pakistan, I don't think it's speculation that Joe Biden and the previous administration or Barack Obama, they would have either been too slow to move or not cared enough or had the talent or the skill to broker that. Now, understand J.D. vance was very involved in this. Now, why is that important? J.D. vance just came from India. J.D. vance just came from India. He visited there with his wife Usha, and they were treated very well, strengthening that bond. By the way, we should be very, very close with India. We should be very close. India has some serious problems when it comes to its treatment of Christians, but India is a not so subtle counter to the Chinese Communist Party. A ton of people. There's still some semblance of a democracy there, despite some of the more Radical nationalistic Hindu stuff, which is not exactly our flavor of governance here. But India is a country of the future. If they can get their act together and they can get 600 million people out of third world poverty, that country's gonna be something to be reckoned with. They are nowhere near as totalitarian as the Chinese Communist Party. And so we call India. And by the way, we've always had a very weird relationship with Pakistan as well. Pakistan is the isi. We kind of. They're a frenemy. We work with them. We don't remember they housed Bin Laden. The whole thing was very bizarre. And let's just be honest with this whole conflict, Pakistan was far more to blame than India. Pakistan is resolutely Muslim. India is Hindu. And we got involved and we ended what could have been a thermonuclear war. We didn't have to do it with fighter jets. We didn't have to spend Javelin missiles, we didn't have to do troops. It was a phone call. And that is what diplomacy of a strong America looks like. And no one will give President Trump credit. If it wasn't for President Trump's tariffs, you have to wonder if India would have brokered peace that quickly. India wanted to make sure those tariffs were, were going to be lifted on their exports. So there's a high leverage, high incentive for India to do what the United States wanted. And they say, well, they bombed this and they bombed that. I cut it out enough. We know you hate each other. You guys can high step and do your thing at the border. Remember, Barack Obama got the Nobel Peace Prize for breathing. He went, I got the Nobel Peace Prize shortly after he came into office. President Trump should get the Nobel Peace Prize based on that standard. And if he ends the Russian Ukrainian war, that will be a non joke. That will be something that he absolutely deserves. And then Barack Obama got the Nobel Peace Prize and went on to expand the Afghan war, drone like crazy the Middle east and oversee the displacement of Muammar Gaddafi in Libya and also the Syrian civil war. That is the President of peace. President Donald Trump is a non ideological actor on the world stage. He does not like to see human suffering. You could see it's like a recurring theme when he talks every single time Russia, Ukraine comes up and he says this stupid bloodbath where hundreds of thousands of people are dying unnecessarily. And that is exactly right. That is the missing moral clarity that our politicians have not been saying. Instead they're so interested in abstractions. Well, this is a fight between totalitarianism and democracy. No, it's not. This is a turf war over who's gonna control that 100 miles or that 100 miles. President Donald Trump, despite all of his critics and all of the attacks against him, is far more of a true and genuine humanitarian when it comes to brokering peace than anybody we've seen. And this is also the element of his Middle east visit. President Donald Trump going to the Middle east also does not want a war with Iran. So he doesn't want a war with Iran. He doesn't want the Indian Pakistan war. He doesn't want the Russian Ukrainian war. This is the best possible example of a president using American strength for world peace. And then on top of it, we have the China deal that is going to be so much better for our country that than what we had previously. And we have not even seen the Vietnam deal. We haven't seen the Japanese deal. We haven't seen the South Korean deal. These things are going to be lined up like planes at LaGuardia on a Friday night. Boom, boom, boom, boom, one after the other. Not to mention stopping the flow of fentanyl in this country. And I have to remind you, no one is crossing the southern border. It is down 99.99%. Border Patrol agents are bored. They're playing Tetris and Minecraft on their phone. They got nothing to do. Previously, they were the Expedia.com of the third world. Oh, where would you like to go, Diego? Where would you like to go, Jesus? Oh, you'd like to go to Detroit. Great. Let me book you that flight. They were making baby formula for the third world that was coming across the southern border. They were the concierge service. Now Border Patrol is like, well, what are we going to do? And deportations are going to go up. You are on the precipice of seeing the convergence of all of these pent up campaign promises. We're gonna see major Supreme Court victories coming up, hopefully on school choice, religious liberty and religious charter schools, and I pray on men and female sports. You're gonna see a major convergence on energy prices going down. And then you're gonna see the reconciliation bill and expansion of CBP and Border Patrol.
