1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,000 Speaker 1: Hey, welcome back to the Sean Hennity Show. It's the 2 00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:05,000 Speaker 1: seculars in for Sean. This is Jay, Jordan and Logan, 3 00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:07,560 Speaker 1: all three of us here. We're going to be joined 4 00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:09,320 Speaker 1: by our friend Rick Rnell, who is a colleague of 5 00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:11,280 Speaker 1: ours at the American Center for Law and Justice. He's 6 00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:14,480 Speaker 1: a senior adviser to us on international issues, and we're 7 00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:16,160 Speaker 1: going to talk about the situation in Israel. 8 00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:19,160 Speaker 2: So you know, we represent the ACLJ. 9 00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:21,759 Speaker 1: We have an office, an American Center for Law and 10 00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:23,520 Speaker 1: Justice office in Jerusalem. 11 00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:26,840 Speaker 3: That's important. The European Center for Law Justice is the 12 00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:30,040 Speaker 3: European Center for Law Justice based in Strosburg, France. It's 13 00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:32,880 Speaker 3: staffed by Europeans, but the American Center for Law Justice 14 00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:36,120 Speaker 3: is to sid that signal both to Israel and the 15 00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:41,360 Speaker 3: world that America stands with Israel. And the aclj's flagship 16 00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:45,839 Speaker 3: office in Jerusalem is an office that says, yes, Americans, 17 00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:48,720 Speaker 3: whether they are dual citizens, whether they are Jewish Americans 18 00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:53,280 Speaker 3: or Christian Americans, they stand with the Jewish State of Israel. 19 00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:55,720 Speaker 3: And it's unique in the way we've set up our 20 00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:58,720 Speaker 3: offices that we have not sent Americans over to rud. 21 00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:00,800 Speaker 3: This in the sense of peace, these people having the 22 00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:04,920 Speaker 3: connection to Israel and the connection to the United States 23 00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:09,320 Speaker 3: of America, that combined connection which right now is under 24 00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:10,760 Speaker 3: attack by the Biden administration. 25 00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:12,640 Speaker 2: You're not right now, we've seen. 26 00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:15,399 Speaker 3: The Biden administration try and tell the Israelis how to 27 00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:19,440 Speaker 3: conduct the war. Could you imagine in a country trying 28 00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:22,000 Speaker 3: to tell us how to conduct the war against Isis? 29 00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:25,600 Speaker 3: Could you imagine a country trying to conduct telling us 30 00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:29,920 Speaker 3: how to conduct the war against the Taliban? Or how 31 00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:33,600 Speaker 3: about Iraq? It's not something even or World War two? 32 00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:36,080 Speaker 3: Would they say, you know, get out as quickly as 33 00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:38,760 Speaker 3: you can. There's too many civilians in Germany, so you know, 34 00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:41,039 Speaker 3: get it out and you just get it done. No, Instead, 35 00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:45,640 Speaker 3: it's eradicate the Nazis. Make sure they're gone forever. And 36 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:48,279 Speaker 3: you know what if some people got hurt along the way, 37 00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:51,680 Speaker 3: that's okay, because the Nazis are so bad. We got 38 00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:54,440 Speaker 3: to get rid of them first. That's from us in 39 00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:56,440 Speaker 3: this day and age. Yes, you have to get rid 40 00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:59,320 Speaker 3: of them in some civilians, including Israelis. 41 00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:02,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, we found that out today. Hostages we found out today. 42 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:06,000 Speaker 1: Represent we represent families of hostages and the family there's 43 00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:11,120 Speaker 1: a family coalition and one of our clients today was shot. 44 00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:14,000 Speaker 1: It was it's all of thought was right now he escaped, 45 00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:16,320 Speaker 1: but the Israeli it was evident it was Israeli fired. 46 00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:17,960 Speaker 2: They thought he was a terrorist. Wh what happens? 47 00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:21,600 Speaker 1: Listen, We defended Operation cast Led at the International Criminal 48 00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:23,240 Speaker 1: Court in the Hague, and it was a lot of 49 00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:26,120 Speaker 1: that kind of urban warfare. It's very difficult, and it's 50 00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:28,760 Speaker 1: very and it's really it's a really sad moment for 51 00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:31,919 Speaker 1: us and for the family obviously, but war is horrible, 52 00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:34,240 Speaker 1: and this shows you how horrible war is. But the 53 00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:37,720 Speaker 1: acl j's involved in the legal side on all of this. 54 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:39,639 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that's right, and you have to look 55 00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:39,840 Speaker 4: at it. 56 00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:40,000 Speaker 2: Look. 57 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:41,520 Speaker 4: I think it's very difficult. It's a little bit different 58 00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:43,440 Speaker 4: from even a World War Two in the sense of 59 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:45,840 Speaker 4: we are seeing all of this. Obviously none of us 60 00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:48,720 Speaker 4: were alive then, but we were also seeing everything in 61 00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:50,680 Speaker 4: real time. Yea're not seeing it different. You know, you 62 00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,560 Speaker 4: think about you see a newsreel in the nineteen forties, 63 00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:56,280 Speaker 4: you know, before a movie you went to a little 64 00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 4: bit harder to separate than when you see Chris A. 65 00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:02,840 Speaker 4: Ward in Gaza, you know, and seeing what's happening there. 66 00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:07,359 Speaker 4: It does tug on your humanitarian human heart strings and go, well, 67 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:10,000 Speaker 4: what are we doing here? But we have to look 68 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:11,320 Speaker 4: at a bigger picture. You do have to look at 69 00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:14,440 Speaker 4: what's happening in Israel and understand also what you're seeing. 70 00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:17,919 Speaker 4: A lot of it is being manipulated by by Hamas 71 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,880 Speaker 4: and all of that. But sure, is there atrocities happening. 72 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:23,920 Speaker 4: Is it really heartbreaking to watch? Absolutely? But I think 73 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:25,920 Speaker 4: that we have to figure out a way and Israel 74 00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:29,480 Speaker 4: has to figure out a way to combat that publicly. 75 00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:31,120 Speaker 4: That publicly, because when you have a twenty four hour 76 00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:34,680 Speaker 4: news cycle, it's tough, and you're now months after the 77 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:39,320 Speaker 4: catastrophic event. It's even different than it was during the 78 00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:41,440 Speaker 4: war in Afghanistan, the war in I Rack. 79 00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:44,200 Speaker 1: Yes, it looks very different, but you also realize this 80 00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:46,520 Speaker 1: an hour ago, we weren't going to discuss that one 81 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:48,680 Speaker 1: of our clients was one of the hostages that were 82 00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:51,200 Speaker 1: killed today because it wasn't on the news, and then 83 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:53,640 Speaker 1: an hour later it is all over those Let's go 84 00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:56,400 Speaker 1: right to Rick Renell, who is our senior advisor but 85 00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 1: also served as the Director of National Intelligence for President Trump, 86 00:03:59,920 --> 00:04:02,400 Speaker 1: and I'm the ambassador to Germany. Rick, we talked about 87 00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:05,560 Speaker 1: this issue on our broadcast SECULO, which is by the way, 88 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:08,960 Speaker 1: live noon Eastern time and in place throughout the country 89 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,440 Speaker 1: and get information about our broadcast at ACLJ dot org. 90 00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 2: But Rick Jordan. 91 00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:15,160 Speaker 1: Mentioned this whole idea of the United States dictating to 92 00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:18,160 Speaker 1: the Israelis on the next move and while we're you know, 93 00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:20,960 Speaker 1: we're suffering today with the loss of a client, and 94 00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:23,520 Speaker 1: war is a horrible thing. But this idea that the 95 00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:26,000 Speaker 1: United States is telling the Israelis what to do is 96 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:27,280 Speaker 1: to me very troubling. 97 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:32,520 Speaker 5: Well, it's very troubling because we still have hostages, right, 98 00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:38,880 Speaker 5: I mean, when the hostages are still being held, we 99 00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:42,600 Speaker 5: need to be able to say to the government of Israel, 100 00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:46,839 Speaker 5: go do what you need to do, Go fight terrorism, 101 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:52,000 Speaker 5: go fight this evil, and bring the hostages home. I 102 00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:55,760 Speaker 5: find it to be very troubling that while we have 103 00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:04,080 Speaker 5: American hostages held by that we have a president who 104 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:08,240 Speaker 5: is saying to Israel, this is what you should and 105 00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:13,360 Speaker 5: should not do in dealing with Hamas. Let Israel deal 106 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:16,159 Speaker 5: with them. They're the ones who suffered these consequences. The 107 00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:18,760 Speaker 5: last thing that we would want is for someone to 108 00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:22,479 Speaker 5: be telling us what to do. After nine to eleven, Rick. 109 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:24,440 Speaker 1: When you you know you and I have done we 110 00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:28,080 Speaker 1: all have done hostage negotiations and it's a tough situation. 111 00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:31,960 Speaker 1: But you just mentioned there are ten American hostages, well 112 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,080 Speaker 1: eight to ten. We don't know the exact number still held, 113 00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:36,280 Speaker 1: and seems like no progress being made. 114 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:40,320 Speaker 5: No, no, no progress is being made. Remember that the 115 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:43,839 Speaker 5: President of the United States, Joe Biden, went over to 116 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:47,080 Speaker 5: the region. We didn't get our hostages return. Secretary of 117 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:49,000 Speaker 5: State b Lincoln has been there a couple of times. 118 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:52,680 Speaker 5: We have not gotten our hostages return. Now Jake Sullivan 119 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:56,719 Speaker 5: is there. I don't understand why we're going lower rank. 120 00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:00,560 Speaker 5: Usually you would go higher rank. But we need to 121 00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:05,279 Speaker 5: be able to have diplomats who are actually successful, who 122 00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:08,920 Speaker 5: know how to do something more than culinary diplomacy. We 123 00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:14,440 Speaker 5: can't have weak diplomats. We need to have people who 124 00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:17,240 Speaker 5: know how to bring home hostages, who know how to 125 00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:20,760 Speaker 5: use the leverage of the US government. I don't understand 126 00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:25,320 Speaker 5: why Anthony Blincoln, who has his own plane, is not 127 00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:30,680 Speaker 5: parked in Qatar saying I'm not leaving until I bring 128 00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:35,120 Speaker 5: home the American hostages. Let's fly in there together. We 129 00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:38,040 Speaker 5: know where the leverage points are get them home. 130 00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:39,400 Speaker 2: Jo Rick. 131 00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:41,120 Speaker 3: I mean, this is I think what is upsetting to 132 00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:45,360 Speaker 3: people because we see instead Jake Sullivan being sit over 133 00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:48,520 Speaker 3: to deliver a message to the Israeli government that you 134 00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:51,000 Speaker 3: better watch out or else you're going to start losing 135 00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:53,919 Speaker 3: the support of Washington, d C. And we're actually seeing 136 00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,720 Speaker 3: that in the news right now as we speak. I mean, 137 00:06:56,720 --> 00:07:00,680 Speaker 3: it is literally big reported is that we are concerned 138 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:05,280 Speaker 3: about Israel's continued actions in the Gaza Strip and that 139 00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:07,880 Speaker 3: is the message he was sent to deliver to the 140 00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:08,839 Speaker 3: War cabin. 141 00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:13,160 Speaker 5: It's very perplexing we have American hostage is being held 142 00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:17,640 Speaker 5: and the National Security Advisor is telling Israel to ease up. 143 00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:22,680 Speaker 5: Think about that. That's not a using the tools of 144 00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:25,320 Speaker 5: the US government to bring the home people. But this 145 00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:30,320 Speaker 5: shouldn't surprise anyone because we literally had the White House, 146 00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:34,160 Speaker 5: Joe Biden's White House, bragging that they got ninety percent 147 00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:37,440 Speaker 5: of the people out in Afghanistan like that was a 148 00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:41,400 Speaker 5: big achievement, when all I heard is you left ten 149 00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:42,560 Speaker 5: percent of the people behind. 150 00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:46,280 Speaker 2: Well, that's that's the way they spin it now. Right now, 151 00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:47,560 Speaker 2: there are reports. 152 00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:50,120 Speaker 1: That the shipping in the Red Sea area, which is 153 00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:55,880 Speaker 1: a huge transport for energy, oil, gas, et cetera, natural gas, 154 00:07:56,160 --> 00:08:00,280 Speaker 1: and energy that that is the major shipping entity. Have 155 00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:02,960 Speaker 1: said they're not putting any ships in the age. It's 156 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:07,160 Speaker 1: too dangerous. The same thing in the sus Canal, same problems. 157 00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:12,240 Speaker 1: We're vulnerable on the energy side of this, Rick. We 158 00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:14,400 Speaker 1: weren't when you all were in office, but we are now. 159 00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:18,120 Speaker 5: It's all of energy, it's all of commerce issues. The 160 00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:22,960 Speaker 5: entire region is literally being leveraged by the Iranians. Let's 161 00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:26,800 Speaker 5: be very clear. The Biden administration decided to engage with 162 00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:30,960 Speaker 5: Iran because they believed that engagement would work. We know 163 00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:34,000 Speaker 5: that that's not true with the Iranians. By the way, 164 00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:38,800 Speaker 5: I believe in engagement. President Trump engaged on North Korea 165 00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:43,600 Speaker 5: and we actually were able to be very successful with 166 00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:47,360 Speaker 5: that engagement. Sometimes engagement works. We've tried it with Iran. 167 00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:50,160 Speaker 5: It does not work. What works with Iran with this 168 00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:55,640 Speaker 5: radical regime is to isolate them, sanction them, and make 169 00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:58,640 Speaker 5: them a pariah state. That works. It was working under 170 00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:04,760 Speaker 5: the Trump administration. Joe Biden decided to start normalizing relations 171 00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:08,560 Speaker 5: with them, asking them for a nuclear agreement, paying them, 172 00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:13,520 Speaker 5: easing the sanctions, and so they now have lots more 173 00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:18,400 Speaker 5: money to spread it around to all of the terrorist 174 00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:23,520 Speaker 5: groups that they fund, Hamas, Hezbolah, the Whosies, the list 175 00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:24,319 Speaker 5: goes on and on. 176 00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:28,400 Speaker 1: You know, Iran is the largest exporter of terrorism in 177 00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:31,000 Speaker 1: the world. We did a documentary Logan that's been a 178 00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:32,640 Speaker 1: number of years ago. We were way ahead of the 179 00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:34,520 Speaker 1: curb plus years ago with US. Yeah, we did a 180 00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:37,800 Speaker 1: documentary called the Export and they are the largest exporter 181 00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:39,200 Speaker 1: of terrorism in the world Iran. 182 00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:41,200 Speaker 2: Now, I want you to look at the timeframe here, folks. 183 00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:43,880 Speaker 1: We free up all this money, the United States frees 184 00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:45,800 Speaker 1: up all these sanctions, frees up all this money, and 185 00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:49,280 Speaker 1: what happens that money, which is functable, ends up getting 186 00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:52,760 Speaker 1: into the hands of who they support. Hamas was in 187 00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:59,360 Speaker 1: Iran with the Iatolas before the attacks on Israel. Where 188 00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:03,120 Speaker 1: did they get the money to do those attacks? Yes, Iran, 189 00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:06,160 Speaker 1: And that's the problem here. Iran is the head of 190 00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:06,560 Speaker 1: the snake. 191 00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:09,040 Speaker 2: Rick. I think what. 192 00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:11,079 Speaker 3: People are trying to figure out right now is where 193 00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:14,040 Speaker 3: they see on TV that there is this concern between 194 00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:18,240 Speaker 3: the White House growing rift. Is the headlines growing rift 195 00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:22,520 Speaker 3: between White House and Israel doesn't say America in Israel 196 00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:26,079 Speaker 3: Now it's the White House, it's specifically the Biden team 197 00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:28,800 Speaker 3: at Israel that the rift is growing apart. 198 00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:31,360 Speaker 2: And that's Jake Sullivan again. I go back to that 199 00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:32,480 Speaker 2: he got. 200 00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:35,400 Speaker 3: Tasked to go deliver that message to the Israeli war 201 00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:38,440 Speaker 3: cabinet and government today and basically tell them how to 202 00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:41,920 Speaker 3: conduct their war against Tamas, which they've been very clear 203 00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:43,800 Speaker 3: with the world about. They said, We're not going to 204 00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:48,240 Speaker 3: stop until Hamas is destroyed, just like our wars against Isis, 205 00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:51,200 Speaker 3: just like our wars against al Qaeda and searching for 206 00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:54,880 Speaker 3: bid Lad, those did not stop until those individuals were dead. 207 00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:59,640 Speaker 5: Look, I think the only headline that we need to 208 00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:04,880 Speaker 5: see is that the American government is demanding the return 209 00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:12,520 Speaker 5: of the hostages from Hamas and demanding that Qatar and others, uh, 210 00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:16,640 Speaker 5: you know, help us. That's the pressure point. Not Israel. 211 00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:20,120 Speaker 2: We've got. You've also got the situation. 212 00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:23,600 Speaker 1: Of course, we've got a world crisis right now, this administration. 213 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:28,480 Speaker 1: You've got You've got Russia in Ukraine, you got you know, 214 00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:32,040 Speaker 1: Hamas attacking Israel in the in the worst massacre of 215 00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:33,880 Speaker 1: Jews since the Holocaust. 216 00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:36,760 Speaker 2: Who knows what China is going to do next. You know, 217 00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:38,280 Speaker 2: when you look at where. 218 00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:40,600 Speaker 1: We've gone in three years, and I know you were 219 00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:44,840 Speaker 1: intimately involved in stabilizing our relationships globally. This is going 220 00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:46,680 Speaker 1: to be I mean, as somebody I work, you know, 221 00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:50,800 Speaker 1: with the president too. This is this is it's depressing. 222 00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:57,840 Speaker 5: Yeah. Look I I'm watching the situation and it's very sad. 223 00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:03,800 Speaker 5: I see multiple wars. I see regional conflicts, certainly the 224 00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:08,320 Speaker 5: Balkans that I know very well. We're increasing NATO troops 225 00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:13,920 Speaker 5: there rather than decreasing. We really we have conflicts around 226 00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:18,680 Speaker 5: the world. We have high gas prices, we have food 227 00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:23,520 Speaker 5: prices that are skyrocketing. I think it's pretty clear that 228 00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:27,439 Speaker 5: Joe Biden, a politician, doesn't hold a candle to Donald Trump, 229 00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:29,479 Speaker 5: the outsider the business. 230 00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:32,360 Speaker 1: You know, it's going to be interesting when all this Rick, 231 00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:34,800 Speaker 1: I appreciate you being with us, and thank you for 232 00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:36,840 Speaker 1: being part of the team here at the ACLJ, and thank. 233 00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:38,719 Speaker 2: You for giving us your analysis on Hanny.

So 314 00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:15,400 Speaker 3: I want you to talk to the Handity audience today 315 00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:18,600 Speaker 3: about the first steps you're going to take. Now that 316 00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:22,520 Speaker 3: the inquiry has been officially voted by the Full House, 317 00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:25,640 Speaker 3: you've got the subpeda power to take to the Biden administration, 318 00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:28,040 Speaker 3: to take to the White House Council, and to really 319 00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:29,520 Speaker 3: take them to the colls. 320 00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:35,280 Speaker 7: Absolutely, this is about following the facts. It's crossing teas 321 00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:38,960 Speaker 7: dotting eyes, making sure we do it the right way. Remember, 322 00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:42,399 Speaker 7: none of this happened when they went after President Trump. 323 00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:45,159 Speaker 7: And the reason it didn't happen is because there was 324 00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:47,920 Speaker 7: nothing there. There was nothing for them to find out, 325 00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:51,040 Speaker 7: so they were playing pure politics. We're not doing that. 326 00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:54,200 Speaker 7: We aren't crossing t's and dotting eyes. We're going to 327 00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:57,159 Speaker 7: go through a process as you just outlined, where we're 328 00:17:57,200 --> 00:18:01,240 Speaker 7: gonna have subpoena's depositions, we're gonna work with judges, we're 329 00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:03,280 Speaker 7: going to get the information. We're going to push as 330 00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:05,800 Speaker 7: hard as we can. And the question is why, what 331 00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:08,359 Speaker 7: makes us think that we need to do this. Let's 332 00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:13,200 Speaker 7: just review a few facts. Number one, the Barisma board. 333 00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:17,560 Speaker 7: Now Barisma is an energy agency, is actually, i'm sorry, 334 00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:21,719 Speaker 7: an energy company that is located in Ukraine. And the 335 00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:26,080 Speaker 7: bottom line is, oddly enough, for some reason, Hunter Biden 336 00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:28,679 Speaker 7: was on the board. He knows nothing about energy. 337 00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:29,760 Speaker 5: There would be no. 338 00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:32,479 Speaker 7: Reason for him to be on the board of what 339 00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:36,960 Speaker 7: is or was a corrupt energy company, but he was. 340 00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:42,440 Speaker 7: The real interesting stuff is that also then Vice President 341 00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:46,000 Speaker 7: Biden was privy and on some of the phone calls 342 00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:49,480 Speaker 7: with this energy company, and when they expressed that they 343 00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:52,800 Speaker 7: were real concerned because they were being investigated by a 344 00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:57,840 Speaker 7: prosecutor in Ukraine was looking for corruption because they were 345 00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:02,080 Speaker 7: corrupted and there's a lot of corruption Ukraine. They said 346 00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:05,000 Speaker 7: they had to somehow get rid of this prosecutor. And 347 00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:09,200 Speaker 7: the president went forward, then Vice president, and he went 348 00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:12,200 Speaker 7: to Ukraine and laid it out and he was proud 349 00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:15,960 Speaker 7: of it. If you don't get rid of this victor Shoken, 350 00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:20,320 Speaker 7: who was the prosecutor that wasn't investigating corruption, you're not 351 00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:23,920 Speaker 7: getting money from the United States. Well, obviously they got 352 00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:27,760 Speaker 7: rid of the prosecutor. Something's wrong there. What else is wrong? 353 00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:32,080 Speaker 7: If you look at James Biden, his brother, he got 354 00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:37,160 Speaker 7: money from a failed hospital corporation for no reason at all. 355 00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:41,360 Speaker 7: But when they failed and they went bankrupt, they outlined 356 00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:44,159 Speaker 7: that the money they gave was because they wanted to 357 00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:48,800 Speaker 7: have the Biden brand on their side. Even more important, 358 00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:52,320 Speaker 7: the day they wired him two hundred thousand dollars is 359 00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:55,840 Speaker 7: the very day that James Biden wrote a check. The 360 00:19:55,920 --> 00:20:00,159 Speaker 7: guess who president by Joe Biden got a check the 361 00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:03,360 Speaker 7: exact same amount of money on the exact same day 362 00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:07,360 Speaker 7: and real quickly. Why is it that the Biden family 363 00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:13,960 Speaker 7: and Biden associates have received received up to twenty million dollars. 364 00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:16,639 Speaker 7: That's a lot of money. And they've received this money 365 00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:26,240 Speaker 7: from countries like Ukraine, Russia, Kakistan, Kazakhstan, Romania, China. Something's 366 00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:29,640 Speaker 7: I'll tell you what, your listeners, they're not getting checks 367 00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:33,000 Speaker 7: from all these people. Your listeners don't have a system 368 00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:37,040 Speaker 7: that works where they have dummy corporations and they have 369 00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:41,960 Speaker 7: shell cooperations where they transfer money from one entity to another. 370 00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:45,119 Speaker 7: This all has to be tracked and what it sells 371 00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:49,720 Speaker 7: of is influence pedaling. For sure. There's a lot there 372 00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:51,520 Speaker 7: at I haven't even touched half of it. 373 00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:55,240 Speaker 1: You know, Congressman, we handled I defended President Trump in 374 00:20:55,640 --> 00:21:00,000 Speaker 1: that first impeachment involving the situation in Ukraine with the phone, 375 00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:02,800 Speaker 1: and to me, the whole thing was, the entire process 376 00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:03,240 Speaker 1: was absurd. 377 00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:03,800 Speaker 2: It was absurd. 378 00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:07,520 Speaker 1: The way that Democrats handled the witnesses before, not letting 379 00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:11,439 Speaker 1: us participate in the depositions, it was it was insulting 380 00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:14,000 Speaker 1: to the American people. I think the way they conducted 381 00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:16,800 Speaker 1: themselves on the floor of the United States Senate when 382 00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:19,879 Speaker 1: they prosecuted this. My concern with all of this is 383 00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:22,680 Speaker 1: that we kind of cheapened the whole impeachment thing there's 384 00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:25,480 Speaker 1: only been three impeachments, now four, and now this is 385 00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:27,600 Speaker 1: the fifth in our nation's history. And now all of 386 00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:30,880 Speaker 1: a sudden, the bar's been set so low in this 387 00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:34,600 Speaker 1: situation here, how do you anticipate the pushback from the 388 00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:37,160 Speaker 1: White House Counsel's Office, Because I was on the other 389 00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:38,679 Speaker 1: end of This is going to be fierce. 390 00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:40,800 Speaker 2: You all know that, though going into it correct. 391 00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:44,119 Speaker 7: Of course, we know it's going to be fierce. Here's 392 00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:48,800 Speaker 7: the deal. If you've done nothing law, you've got nothing 393 00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:52,480 Speaker 7: to fear. I mean, there is so much influence coming 394 00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:55,000 Speaker 7: from either the Vice President at the time or now 395 00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:58,400 Speaker 7: President bid. You know, I didn't even talk about the 396 00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:01,760 Speaker 7: plea deal so here, and we all know his son's 397 00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:03,800 Speaker 7: a bad guy. And I will be the first to 398 00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:06,960 Speaker 7: say the sins of a son can't be visited on 399 00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:10,480 Speaker 7: a father just for that reason alone. But the bottom 400 00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:15,199 Speaker 7: line is that the father, Joe Biden, was involved. You 401 00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:20,240 Speaker 7: got to know, there's nobody in the history of American jurisprudence, 402 00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:23,440 Speaker 7: nobody in the history of American law, that ever got 403 00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:25,359 Speaker 7: a plea deal like the one they were trying to 404 00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:28,520 Speaker 7: give him. Not only was he going to be exonerated 405 00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:31,880 Speaker 7: for the crimes that we know he committed. I mean, 406 00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:37,320 Speaker 7: he didn't purchase a gun illegally falsifying a federal form. 407 00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:41,119 Speaker 7: We know that he disposed of the gun illegally into 408 00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:41,680 Speaker 7: a dumpster. 409 00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:42,600 Speaker 5: We know. 410 00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:45,640 Speaker 7: These are all things that we know for sure. That 411 00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:48,840 Speaker 7: he was high, that he was inebriated under the influence 412 00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:51,040 Speaker 7: of drugs when he did it, and yet they were 413 00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:52,919 Speaker 7: going to give him a special plea deal. You know 414 00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:56,840 Speaker 7: what I believe, I am. We shouldn't be impeaching presidents 415 00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:59,560 Speaker 7: right and left, but this is a real case here. 416 00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:03,960 Speaker 7: And what concerns me is the old thing justice for 417 00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:07,080 Speaker 7: thee but not for me. We have a two level 418 00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:09,640 Speaker 7: system of justice in this department. 419 00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:12,240 Speaker 2: Well, let me follow up on that one. 420 00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:14,000 Speaker 1: And Jordan's got a question, and that's something you've been 421 00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:17,520 Speaker 1: very concerned about, and that is the FBI's weaponization and 422 00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:18,240 Speaker 1: targeting go ahead. 423 00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:20,119 Speaker 3: I don't know how many times Christopher Rays come to 424 00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:23,000 Speaker 3: your committees, and the Judiciary Committee had gone under oath 425 00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:25,520 Speaker 3: and said, you know, hey, once we found out about 426 00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:28,240 Speaker 3: that memo about targeting Catholics, it was just a mimo 427 00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:30,080 Speaker 3: in Richmond, we put a stop to it. Then we 428 00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:32,439 Speaker 3: found out, well we might have actually put an agent 429 00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:35,920 Speaker 3: inside one church in Richmond, and oh, we might have 430 00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:38,840 Speaker 3: actually told the office in Los Angeles and across the 431 00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:43,200 Speaker 3: country three four, five, maybe six other FBI offices. This 432 00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:46,200 Speaker 3: mimo was floating around, but we've pulled it back now, 433 00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:49,080 Speaker 3: trust us. I mean, it just seems like every time 434 00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:52,719 Speaker 3: the FBI is getting caught, and they got caught based 435 00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:55,960 Speaker 3: off of just an idea. This was not like some 436 00:23:56,119 --> 00:24:00,680 Speaker 3: widespread issue or some real problem with inside the actually 437 00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:04,240 Speaker 3: the radical traditionalist Catholic. The term they came up with 438 00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:08,840 Speaker 3: was a term one individual called himself. They could not 439 00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:12,160 Speaker 3: even define the term because what nut was using this term? 440 00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:15,480 Speaker 1: Yet they had four offices congressmen involved in this. We 441 00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:18,439 Speaker 1: followed the Freedom of Information AC lawsuit the a CLJ 442 00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:21,879 Speaker 1: against the HgI. Yeah, and they had people in the 443 00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:25,320 Speaker 1: churches and we found out there's twelve hundred patients of 444 00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:27,200 Speaker 1: documents responsive to this quote. 445 00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:28,639 Speaker 2: Non issue within the FBI. 446 00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:33,640 Speaker 7: Absolutely, And by the way, Christopher I was asking him 447 00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:36,439 Speaker 7: questions about this very thing, he may have seen it. 448 00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:39,639 Speaker 7: He perjured himself. I asked him if he had lists 449 00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:41,560 Speaker 7: of churches? He said, what do you mean? Listen and 450 00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:44,439 Speaker 7: he started to actually stammer a little bit because he 451 00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:47,679 Speaker 7: was getting nervous because we were onto something. And you know, 452 00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:50,199 Speaker 7: we only know about the Catholic churches. God knows, there 453 00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:54,360 Speaker 7: may have been Evangelical churches, conservative synecagues. We don't even 454 00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:57,040 Speaker 7: know what else. But this we do know. We have 455 00:24:57,160 --> 00:24:59,960 Speaker 7: the proof, we have the emails. Here's where he perjured himself. 456 00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:03,040 Speaker 7: I asked him the day he testified in front of 457 00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:05,800 Speaker 7: us in traditionary you know, have you done? This is 458 00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:09,879 Speaker 7: just a Virginia field office, just one mistake there, Yes, 459 00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:12,959 Speaker 7: absolutely sorry, it happened, but it was only there and 460 00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:15,960 Speaker 7: we found out because if you folks and others, and 461 00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:20,520 Speaker 7: because we dug in, it was across the country. There 462 00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:26,520 Speaker 7: were multiple offices. They considered traditional Roman Catholics enemies. You 463 00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:29,080 Speaker 7: know why because they tend to be a little more conservative, 464 00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:32,440 Speaker 7: because they tend to be faithful, and that doesn't fit 465 00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:34,560 Speaker 7: the picture they want for the future. 466 00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:36,199 Speaker 1: Do you want to play I want to play for 467 00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:38,800 Speaker 1: the audience a little sparring with you in America, Carl 468 00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:39,440 Speaker 1: and take a listen. 469 00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:42,919 Speaker 5: Attorney General through the chair, I ask you, do you 470 00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:46,159 Speaker 5: agree that traditional Catholics are violent extremists? 471 00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:49,480 Speaker 8: If you have no idea, what your what the traditional 472 00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:53,600 Speaker 8: means here, Yeah, let me just go to church. May 473 00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:56,399 Speaker 8: I answer your question? Yes, the idea that someone with 474 00:25:56,600 --> 00:26:03,720 Speaker 8: my family background with discriminate against any religion is so outrageous, 475 00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:04,680 Speaker 8: so absurd. 476 00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:07,679 Speaker 1: Mister Attorney General, it was your FBI that did this. 477 00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:11,199 Speaker 5: It was your FBI that was sending and we have 478 00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:13,040 Speaker 5: the memos, we have the emails. 479 00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:16,840 Speaker 7: We're sending undercover agents into Catholic churches. 480 00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:20,640 Speaker 1: Congressman, you hit him hard and he had of course 481 00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:22,040 Speaker 1: he got this emotional response. 482 00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:24,600 Speaker 2: But the truth is this was not some limited program. 483 00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:28,320 Speaker 1: This was a coast to coast, multiple offices, twelve hundred 484 00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:30,280 Speaker 1: pages of documents which we're going to get next week. 485 00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:31,200 Speaker 2: And you caught. 486 00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:35,240 Speaker 7: Them absolutely and they didn't like it.

And we 490 00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:46,000 Speaker 7: have my good friend that I work with all the time, 491 00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:49,199 Speaker 7: Jid Jordan, as the chairman of the committee. With guess what, 492 00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:52,840 Speaker 7: you all would never know, nobody would know, it would 493 00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:54,560 Speaker 7: have been hidden. This matters. 494 00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:55,280 Speaker 5: It was wrong. 495 00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:59,160 Speaker 7: I mean, it's so unbelievable. It sounds like it's made up, 496 00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:01,280 Speaker 7: but it's not. You know what else is not made 497 00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:05,160 Speaker 7: up about the FBI? How about the misuse of PIZA 498 00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:07,160 Speaker 7: For people who are listening don't know what it is. 499 00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:11,440 Speaker 7: It is a way for the FBI to investigate American 500 00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:15,439 Speaker 7: citizens if they believe that they are involved with foreign terror. 501 00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:18,639 Speaker 7: That's the simple and short definition.
