1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:01,120
Speaker 1: Well, we have come in.

2
00:00:02,600 --> 00:00:07,080
Speaker 2: To your city. I want to pay I gets saying

Speaker 2: a little banging a yuni, I come along.

5
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:21,840
Speaker 1: They refused to support previous requests from the President. They

6
00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:24,440
Speaker 1: said no to border agents, they said no to new

7
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:27,880
Speaker 1: technology to fight fentanyl. They said no to additional troops.

8
00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:30,440
Speaker 1: That is what Republicans have done.

9
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:34,360
Speaker 3: The Wall Street Journal poll was, you know, very very

10
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:37,440
Speaker 3: dark in terms from a Biden's standpoint.

11
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:39,680
Speaker 2: Uh, you know, job.

12
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:45,080
Speaker 3: Approval down, ratings generally down, most of the comparatives with Trump.

13
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:51,320
Speaker 2: Fredom is back in style. Welcome to the revolution that

14
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 2: we have.

15
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:58,320
Speaker 4: Coming to your city, go way against and saying you

16
00:00:58,400 --> 00:00:59,280
Speaker 4: a conscious son.

17
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 5: Sean Hannity show more him the scene's information on freaking.

18
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:12,759
Speaker 3: News and more bold inspired solutions for America.

19
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:14,760
Speaker 2: Hey, everybody, welcome back to Hannity.

20
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:17,039
Speaker 6: This is Jay Secular. Logan Seculo is with me. We

21
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 6: head up the American Center for Law and Justice. To

22
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:20,480
Speaker 6: see how a senior lawyer here. We've had a lot

23
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:21,960
Speaker 6: of legal things to talk about because there's a lot

24
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 6: of legal things going on. We just talked about Supreme

25
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 6: Court of the United States. We took that case to

26
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 6: Colorado's where they took Trump off the ballot. By the way,

27
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:33,480
Speaker 6: that effects at least fifteen other states right now. I

28
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:36,119
Speaker 6: guarantee you by the first week of January that will

29
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 6: be up to twenty there are going to consider this.

30
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 6: So that's why the Supreme Court needs to react. We

31
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:43,960
Speaker 6: did just get word that the Secretary of State of

32
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 6: Colorado has said that former President Trump will be on

33
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 6: the ballot, because we filed that case yesterday.

34
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 2: Now, Rick Renell's joining us.

35
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 6: He is a senior advisor to the American Center for

36
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 6: Law Justice, former director of National Intelligence, former Ambassador to

37
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:02,639
Speaker 6: the unbassador of Germany, and official at the United Nations

38
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 6: for the United States of America.

39
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 2: And Rick, there's another matter pending, and.

40
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:09,240
Speaker 6: I know you're concerned about free speech, like I am.

41
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 6: Jack Smith, the special counsel, who has very convoluted theories

42
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 6: of the law, quite frankly, has now after losing last

43
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 6: week his attempt to get the court to skip over

44
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 6: the Court of Appeals and the challenge that the president's

45
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:30,520
Speaker 6: lawyers have made to the issue right now, which of

46
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 6: course is that the president is immune from prosecution for

47
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:36,359
Speaker 6: acts that were taken while he was president, which in

48
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 6: January sixth he was still president. They wanted to skip

49
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:42,520
Speaker 6: over the Court of Appeals Court of Appeals, so they

50
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 6: went to the Supreme Court saying, hey, skip the Court

51
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 6: of Appeals. You take it right away. Supreme Court said, no,

52
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 6: we're not going to do that. That was a couple

53
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:52,079
Speaker 6: of days ago. Then Jack Smith came around today or

54
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 6: yesterday last night and filed a new motion saying, quote,

55
00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:00,360
Speaker 6: through public statements, filings and arguments and hearings before the court,

56
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:03,799
Speaker 6: the defense is attempted to quote inject into this case

57
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 6: partisan political attacks and irrelevant and prejudicial issues that have

58
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 6: no place in a jury. They go on to say,

59
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 6: and this is to me is the I think the

60
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:16,920
Speaker 6: line of lines they talk about, they actually use the

61
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 6: word of all things. The court should not permit the

62
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:21,799
Speaker 6: defendant to turn the courtroom into a form in which

63
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 6: he propagates irrelevant Ready for this, folks, disinformation, Bring back

64
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 6: Mss Jenkowitz. She'll be the disinformation clerk there at the

65
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 6: court and she'll decide what's good.

66
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 2: And what's not good.

67
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 6: I'm making a joke, obviously, but the fact that they

68
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 6: think they can do this rick and silence the president

69
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 6: from and his lawyers from putting on a defense in

70
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 6: court about the political nature of this when this is

71
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 6: a political case, should have every American outraged.

72
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, Logan will. What we have to remember is that

73
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 4: Jack Smith came to the United States from the Hague.

74
00:03:56,640 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 4: He had been a prosecutor at the Hague. Working at

75
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 4: the Hague means that prosecutors really get to do whatever

76
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 4: they want. Jack Smith put the president of Kosovo, who

77
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 4: I was negotiating with and President Trump was negotiating with

78
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 4: between Coastvo and Serbia. Jack Smith put him in prison,

79
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 4: indicted the president of Costavo in the middle of our

80
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 4: negotiations and put him in prison. Hassamfasi is his name, Hashamfazi,

81
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 4: the president of Kosovo is still in prison in the

82
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:34,239
Speaker 4: Hague two and a half years, almost three years later.

83
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:38,360
Speaker 4: Think about that, this is the Hague values. This is

84
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:41,720
Speaker 4: what works at the Hague, is not what works in

85
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 4: the American court. Keenly gets to take away people's rights

86
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 4: and do whatever they want. And so Jack Smith has

87
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 4: brought the Hague values, the Hague view of the law,

88
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 4: to the United States, and what he's finding out is

89
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 4: that the United States just doesn't play up with that.

90
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 2: Little known fact.

91
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 6: I have made two appearances at the International Criminal Court

92
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:07,920
Speaker 6: in the Hague, not a lot of lawyers have in

93
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 6: the United States. In one case and involved the situation

94
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 6: what they called in the matter of Israel. In the

95
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 6: second one, it was in the matter of the Islamic

96
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 6: Republic of Afghanistan, where the United States was the target

97
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:22,720
Speaker 6: of the ICC. And I will tell you this, we

98
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 6: do a lot of work in international tribunals. When I

99
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:29,280
Speaker 6: sat and watched the first case that I heard before

100
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 6: the International Criminal Court, before I even argue the case

101
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:34,039
Speaker 6: I was involved in Rick Watch. I went in with

102
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 6: Israelis by the way to watch one and they were

103
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:41,360
Speaker 6: trying some African general warlord who I think was seventeen

104
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 6: years old and was obviously taken from his village with

105
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 6: the threat that his family was going to be killed,

106
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 6: the kind of horrible things that happened there. And they're

107
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 6: prosecuting this guy, and they're bringing in evidence, and then

108
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:54,160
Speaker 6: the prosecutor was withholding evidence and the ended up getting

109
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 6: in trouble for that. To take those values and try

110
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 6: to put that in an American system US not right.

111
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 4: No, it's when you took on the evidence issue, and

112
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:08,799
Speaker 4: that is probably the biggest difference between the Head Court

113
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 4: and the United States in that the evidence is just

114
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:16,240
Speaker 4: not put to the same rigor. You can say anything

115
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:19,160
Speaker 4: as the prosecutor. You know, the reality is, if any

116
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 4: listeners are interested, they should go and google Jack Smith,

117
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 4: Kosovo and all of the European media that are attacking

118
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 4: Jack Smith's tactics. He put people up, witnesses up who

119
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 4: have recanted their stories and said that Jack Smith put

120
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 4: someone in front of them that appeared be a CIA

121
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:45,280
Speaker 4: agent who turned out not to be a CIA agent.

122
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:51,040
Speaker 4: So the charges against Jack Smith's tactics are long and troubling,

123
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:53,919
Speaker 4: and our media here in the United States should do

124
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 4: a better job of looking under the hood of Jack Smith.

125
00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 4: I'll finish with this Jay. You know that I've said

126
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:05,720
Speaker 4: this before. The Prime Minister of Albania, who is a

127
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 4: member of NATO, has a fantastic speech attacking Jack Smith's

128
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:16,720
Speaker 4: tactics and telling Europeans who are listening to him while

129
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 4: he's giving this speech in Strasburg, telling them you are

130
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 4: hypocrites for allowing Jack Smith to put Hashamzashi, the President

131
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 4: of Kosovo, into a prison without a rule of law

132
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 4: that makes sense.

133
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 6: They don't have indictments. They don't have cross examination. I

134
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 6: mean CEC does a lot of this as well. We

135
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 6: deal with these international tribunals. We're accredited with the United

136
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 6: Nations and CEC. It is a whole for this audience

137
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:47,760
Speaker 6: needs to understand. When you're talking about these international tribunals,

138
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 6: it's a whole different world.

139
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 5: Right, And it's just like Rick said, I mean, rule

140
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 5: of law, it's thrown out. You said, you know, they

141
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 5: don't have cross examinations. But what's funny is Jack Smith

142
00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:01,240
Speaker 5: has asked this court in the United States to not

143
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 5: let to limit even the cross examination questions of Trump's attorneys.

144
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 5: He has basically asked this court to say President Trump

145
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 5: does not get the right to defend himself. And again,

146
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:17,680
Speaker 5: these are the Hague tactics. This is not what happens

147
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 5: in the United States court.

148
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:22,040
Speaker 6: Here's the truth about Jack Smith. Okay, he's very good

149
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 6: at getting indictments, he's not so good on convictions. And

150
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 6: let me tell you. Let me give you up three examples.

151
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 6: Bob MacDonald, governor of Virginia, prosecuted by Jack Smith. Jury

152
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 6: convicts them, it goes eventually to the Supreme Court in

153
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 6: the United States. The Supreme Court in the United States.

154
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 6: I was involved in that case nine to zero. The

155
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 6: most conservative members of the court, the most liberal members

156
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 6: of the Court reversed, saying that Jacksmith's interpretation of honor services,

157
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 6: that's what was called honor services, and the Bribery and

158
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 6: Fraud Statute would if that interpretation was right, then governors

159
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 6: could never do their job. Let's take that was a Republican.

160
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 6: Now let's go to a Democrat, John Edwards. He was

161
00:08:57,880 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 6: running to be the Vice president of the United States,

162
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 6: John Carey, Senator from North Carolina. Jack Smith brings a

163
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:06,080
Speaker 6: corruption case against him. The jury, I think was out

164
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:09,320
Speaker 6: for you know, hours before they came back not guilty.

165
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:13,960
Speaker 6: Bob Menendez, the Senator from New Jersey, in his first hearing,

166
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:16,560
Speaker 6: was his defense lawyer was my friend Abbey Law, one

167
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 6: of the best from defense Laire's in the United States. Another

168
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 6: Jack Smith prosecution.

169
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 2: Not guilty.

170
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 6: So he has this history and now he's taking Ricky's

171
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:31,000
Speaker 6: unbelievable stretches of the law, if you can even call

172
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 6: it that, and applying it to the leading candidate for

173
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 6: president of the United States.

174
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 4: It's all politics, we see it. And I have just

175
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 4: got to say that. I think this is the fight

176
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:47,200
Speaker 4: that we're in right now in America. Law fair, the

177
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:52,840
Speaker 4: weaponization of the courts, the weaponization of DJ They're coming

178
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 4: at Trump with everything they have, and I thank god

179
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 4: that Trump is the one who is taking these hits

180
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 4: because I know he can take them. He's got a

181
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:08,679
Speaker 4: great legal team. And if somehow they can manipulate our

182
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:12,000
Speaker 4: court system to get Trump, we are next. He is

183
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 4: standing in the way for what they're trying to do

184
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 4: to us.

185
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 6: Let me tell you about the legal side of this,

186
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 6: because we're involved in this Rich just mentioned. We're involved

187
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:21,679
Speaker 6: in a lot of these cases, this one on executive immunity.

188
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 6: The idea that a president could face civil or criminal

189
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:26,560
Speaker 6: suits for actions they took as president of the United

190
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:30,880
Speaker 6: States would impact every single president. So the answer to

191
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 6: that should be no. The idea is CC just mentioned

192
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 6: that you cannot cross examin and witnesses. If you're saying

193
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:38,960
Speaker 6: the political nature of this when this is a case

194
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 6: about a political event, if you want to call.

195
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:44,800
Speaker 2: It that, Hey, this is not the way it works

196
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 2: in the United States of America.

197
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:50,559
Speaker 6: But he was so desperate after being denied this expedited review,

198
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:53,920
Speaker 6: jump over the Court of Appeals on the executive immunity claim.

199
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 6: He was so upset about that that he comes back

200
00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 6: with this motion and then to make his matter, his

201
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 6: job more difficult. One of the January sixth protesters files

202
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 6: a petition for review just like we file for the

203
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:09,400
Speaker 6: Colorado Supreme Court with the Supreme Court of the United

204
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:12,200
Speaker 6: States on saying, you know that obstruction of Congress statute,

205
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:13,760
Speaker 6: which is the big thing they're going after with all

206
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 6: of these people. Hey, that has been viewed as being

207
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 6: over brought and unconstitutional. Judge Katsis a Court of Appeals

208
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 6: judge dissented. There was two judges said nope, it's allowed.

209
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:27,720
Speaker 6: One judge said no, he said it violates freedom of speech,

210
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 6: freedom to readdress government for grievances, freedom of association. And

211
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:36,720
Speaker 6: shockingly to Jack Smith, the Supreme Court took that case too.

212
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:39,080
Speaker 6: So Logan, when you look at all of this right now,

213
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 6: let me tell you what it looks like. They are

214
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 6: very desperate and they are running out of options, and

215
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:46,319
Speaker 6: they're throwing everything they have against the wall right now.

216
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 7: Yeah, and if anything is just going to make President

217
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:53,120
Speaker 7: Trump stronger, people more infuriated, and look, it certainly doesn't

218
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:55,559
Speaker 7: diffuse that is one of my friends who I was

219
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:58,080
Speaker 7: talking to when this happened, and easily moderate, I'd say,

220
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 7: abodis is what a thing to do to help not

221
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 7: let the country heal, to not let us defuse sort

222
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:07,960
Speaker 7: of everyone's this is actually just gonna make this so

223
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:10,440
Speaker 7: much much more of a stressful moment going into the

224
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:13,040
Speaker 7: election that you can't be honest, you can't have that

225
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:15,679
Speaker 7: feeling right now because you're so pent up going this

226
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:17,200
Speaker 7: doesn't feel American.

227
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 2: Well it doesn't. And Rick, the last thing here before

228
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:20,600
Speaker 2: we got to let you go.

229
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:23,960
Speaker 6: And that is like in this Colorado case where they're

230
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:25,959
Speaker 6: basically saying, you know, we're taking them off the ball,

231
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:27,200
Speaker 6: and we have the right to do it, and we're

232
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:29,199
Speaker 6: obviously we've taken it too. The Supreme Quarter ready the

233
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 6: American Center for Law and Justice, because we've said this

234
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:32,960
Speaker 6: is ridiculous.

235
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:34,320
Speaker 2: But if if we lose the right to vote, we've

236
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 2: lost it all.

237
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 8: Yeah.

238
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 4: Look, I'm old enough to remember a time when reporters

239
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:48,840
Speaker 4: would hold the court, politicians, newsmakers to account. If they overreached,

240
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 4: they would be mocked by the media and the New

241
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:54,400
Speaker 4: York Times, the Washington Post, CNN, and others. They would

242
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:59,320
Speaker 4: they would be pushed to moderate, to not be so

243
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:02,080
Speaker 4: part of them. The problem right now is that the

244
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 4: reporters are allowing this to happen. They're cheerleading it, and

245
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:08,560
Speaker 4: so there are no consequences for people like Jack Smith

246
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:12,079
Speaker 4: to bring the Hague values to America and try everything

247
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:16,600
Speaker 4: he can to change our courts and manipulate and politicize

248
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:19,120
Speaker 4: them because the media are not pushing back on him.

249
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:21,959
Speaker 4: So there's consequences for him. He's going to continue doing it.

250
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:22,840
Speaker 4: It's going to get worse.

251
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:24,440
Speaker 6: Yeah, But let me tell you this, We're fighting at

252
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:25,840
Speaker 6: every step of the way. We're at the Supreme Court

253
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 6: in the United States right now in Colorado. We're going

254
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:30,280
Speaker 6: to follow a brief in the case involving the executive immunity.

255
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:32,839
Speaker 6: I argued a similar case for President Trump at the

256
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:34,720
Speaker 6: Supreme Court three and a half years ago. We know

257
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:36,800
Speaker 6: what this is, folks, and Rick, we are not going

258
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:39,720
Speaker 6: to let the hag become the values of the United

259
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:40,440
Speaker 6: States of America.

00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:39,399
Speaker 6: next segment. In Jerusalem, We've had it there for a

353
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 6: number of years. Jif Ballaban's senior lawyer for US at

354
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:44,760
Speaker 6: the ACLJ runs that office. Jeff is with us on

355
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:47,480
Speaker 6: the phone, and Jeff, you know, I'm looking at headlines

356
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:49,919
Speaker 6: and we follow this horrible situation that took place on

357
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:52,399
Speaker 6: October seventh. We're doing a lot of legal work for

358
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:55,560
Speaker 6: the families. But you look at the headlines. Turkey's Ertawan

359
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:58,720
Speaker 6: says Israeli Prime minister and yeah, who no different from Hitler.

360
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:03,240
Speaker 6: CBS News Israel warns about Lebanon border hostilities. The hourglass

361
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:05,119
Speaker 6: for a political sentiment is running out. These are the

362
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:08,760
Speaker 6: headlines NBC second American hostage and gods that declared dead

363
00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:13,120
Speaker 6: as Israeli ministers warned the war could expand. Fox News

364
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:17,440
Speaker 6: nearly eight thousand strong. That's another matter. But let's focus

365
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:20,639
Speaker 6: on the Israel situation here. You just got back. I

366
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:24,040
Speaker 6: know you're returning. Where do you see things right now?

367
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:28,520
Speaker 8: Well, Jay, it is in fact the multi war front.

368
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:30,679
Speaker 8: And I don't just mean in the south of Israel,

369
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:34,360
Speaker 8: in the North of Israel, potentially their largest, most dangerous

370
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:38,399
Speaker 8: and vulnerable border, which is with Jaday and Tamara and Jordan,

371
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:40,600
Speaker 8: and in the Middle they have a lot of citing

372
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:44,919
Speaker 8: authority controlled areas which are pure teriff havens. And so

373
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:47,680
Speaker 8: it's a multi front war. But then there's the multifront

374
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:50,399
Speaker 8: war in terms of lawfare around the world which we

375
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:54,679
Speaker 8: work on, in terms of the political dynamics that the

376
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:59,199
Speaker 8: incredible pressure Israel and Israel alone is never allowed to

377
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:02,920
Speaker 8: defend itself. Israel and Israel alone is called genocidal when

378
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:06,359
Speaker 8: it just seeks to defend itself from actual genocidal maniacs.

379
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:09,240
Speaker 8: And that's what's happening. It's a multi front war against

380
00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:11,760
Speaker 8: the existence of the Jewish state and now against the

381
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:13,200
Speaker 8: distance of the Jewish people.

382
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:15,640
Speaker 6: I said to you, You and I had a conversation

383
00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:17,200
Speaker 6: the other night, late at night. I said, this is

384
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 6: an existential threat to the Jewish state of Israel, to

385
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:22,600
Speaker 6: Jewish people. I said, it is an existential threat because

386
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:25,240
Speaker 6: as world opinion quickly changes, which is what happens in

387
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:28,120
Speaker 6: these in these conflicts with Israel, and the atrocities were unbelievable.

388
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:31,440
Speaker 6: People are already forgetting about the horrific atrocities that took

389
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:31,960
Speaker 6: place here.

390
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:36,679
Speaker 8: One hundred percent. I mean, it's almost as though the

391
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:42,399
Speaker 8: only significant pocket of support for decency, humanity, morality is

392
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:44,520
Speaker 8: in America, a little bit in some of the states

393
00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:47,720
Speaker 8: in Europe, but otherwise the world has gone mad. There

394
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:50,440
Speaker 8: out there you saw there wasn't even a breath to take.

395
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:55,200
Speaker 8: It was immediately after the most disgusting massacre really in memory,

396
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:58,959
Speaker 8: a horrific act, and they started becoming in public and

397
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 8: people are out in the streets. It's so good about

398
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 8: the Arab world's to good about the Muslim world in

399
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 8: the West, on the side of the genocidal maniacs calling

400
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:11,600
Speaker 8: for the jerradication of the Jewish state and indeed calling

401
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:14,280
Speaker 8: gas the Jews not destroyed as well gas the Jews,

402
00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:14,639
Speaker 8: kill the.

403
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:17,160
Speaker 2: Jews, the anti Semitism.

404
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:20,200
Speaker 6: We've represented students that are facing horrible acts, but we're

405
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:22,840
Speaker 6: also operating at the United Nations. I need to say

406
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:24,879
Speaker 6: this are we have an office in Strasburg, France, are

407
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:27,200
Speaker 6: European Center for Law and Justice. Just ten days ago

408
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:31,760
Speaker 6: finished a family delegation with multiple families of hostages. They

409
00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 6: were at the European Parliament, they were at the Council

410
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:38,199
Speaker 6: of Europe. They met with government leaders to tell the

411
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:41,240
Speaker 6: story so people don't forget. Now the hostage situation is

412
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:43,520
Speaker 6: looking grim. I'm going to be the first woman. There

413
00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 6: was a report today that another American hostage was actually

414
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 6: killed on October seventh. They thought they were a hostage.

415
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:52,919
Speaker 6: They apparently were not. But I want people to understand

416
00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:55,159
Speaker 6: that you've got to keep this at the forefront.

417
00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:56,000
Speaker 2: And C. C.

418
00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:57,719
Speaker 6: Hiles with us, who heads up a lot of our

419
00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:00,840
Speaker 6: work at the United Nations, and we have taken an aggressive,

420
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:04,359
Speaker 6: aggressive action at the UN on behalf of Israel.

421
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:06,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, and what's important to note is at the United

422
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:10,080
Speaker 5: Nations there are more resolutions condemning Israel than any other

423
00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 5: member state. And our ECLJ, which is an NGO at

424
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:15,840
Speaker 5: the United Nations, we always stand up and we always

425
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:18,280
Speaker 5: fight for Israel because they do have a right to

426
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:22,200
Speaker 5: self defense. But with this hostage situation and what happened,

427
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:25,520
Speaker 5: the horrific acts that happened on October seventh, we filed

428
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:28,920
Speaker 5: with the Working Group on enforcedter in Voluntary Disappearances, which

429
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:31,199
Speaker 5: is a working group body within the United Nations that

430
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:34,439
Speaker 5: handles hostage situations, and we did so on behalf of

431
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:38,959
Speaker 5: ten clients. And we've done letters to the Commission of Inquiry.

432
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 5: We've done submissions to the Commission of Injury, We've done

433
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:44,679
Speaker 5: letters to the Secretary General demanded that they condemn the

434
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 5: horrific acts of Hamas against Israel.

435
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:50,719
Speaker 6: You know, Jeff, that attack I think, you know, I

436
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:54,000
Speaker 6: never like using a Holocaust examp, you know, comparison, but

437
00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:56,160
Speaker 6: it has that exact feeling.

438
00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:00,680
Speaker 8: Jay, I mean, we share a certain family history here.

439
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:02,919
Speaker 8: You know, my family, My mother is a survivor, her

440
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:06,720
Speaker 8: parents were killed, and the entireity essentially the White paths,

441
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:10,480
Speaker 8: and I will do not heditation. What's going on now

442
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:13,080
Speaker 8: is worse. It's worse because number one of the world

443
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:15,920
Speaker 8: knows that genocide of the Jews has always been on

444
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:18,159
Speaker 8: the agenda, and they saw it. Could claim to have

445
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:21,119
Speaker 8: been shocked in the last world. They cannot claim to

446
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:23,600
Speaker 8: be shocked now, number one. Number two, the amount of

447
00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:29,000
Speaker 8: support across Palestinian world dwarfs the support that Hitler had

448
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:31,920
Speaker 8: among the Germans. Number three, the amount of support run

449
00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:34,119
Speaker 8: the world for this dwarfs. What was he then? This

450
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:36,600
Speaker 8: is potentially worse. And you know what, in our day

451
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:39,119
Speaker 8: and age, there's nowhere for Jews to run and hide

452
00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:42,440
Speaker 8: because of monern technology. What we're seeing now is in fact,

453
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:44,960
Speaker 8: as you just said, an existential threat for the State

454
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:47,800
Speaker 8: of Israel, but also for Jews Jewish populations everywhere on

455
00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:49,760
Speaker 8: the globe. That's why, by the way, what we're doing

456
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:52,040
Speaker 8: is so important on so many levels day everything you're

457
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:54,800
Speaker 8: talking about where HLJ is confronting it, there's really no

458
00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:57,040
Speaker 8: limit to the fronts in which it has to be confronted.

459
00:22:57,400 --> 00:22:59,440
Speaker 8: And it's amazing that HLJ is really dairy place.

460
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:01,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, we've been doing it for a long time.

461
00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:02,919
Speaker 6: Logan, I was gonna ask you this because I know

462
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:04,760
Speaker 6: you've got a friend that are your age or in

463
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:05,840
Speaker 6: your late thirties.

464
00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:09,760
Speaker 2: Is this issue resonating it did initially? What about now?

465
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:12,400
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think it is resonating. Sadly, I'm not sure

466
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:14,840
Speaker 7: if Israel's winning the pr war, and that's the problem,

467
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:17,960
Speaker 7: and I'm spending a lot of time I feel like

468
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:20,040
Speaker 7: talking about this and trying to explain it to people,

469
00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:22,160
Speaker 7: because you do see images, the images that are posted

470
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:24,919
Speaker 7: and out of Gaza and out of juday As Samary you,

471
00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:27,320
Speaker 7: it's hard not to talk in your heartstrings, just as

472
00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:30,639
Speaker 7: that did back in October six, So it's hard not

473
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:35,199
Speaker 7: to have those conversations and then you have the problem

474
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:39,080
Speaker 7: is is there there's what feels like a technological bot

475
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:40,000
Speaker 7: war happening.

476
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:43,080
Speaker 2: Uh, if you post something it's pro Israel.

477
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:46,400
Speaker 7: Yeah, and I noticed it last week on Christmas Eve,

478
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:50,760
Speaker 7: Stephen fry who's the British commentator and speaker, and uh,

479
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:53,679
Speaker 7: you know, he posted a whole Christmas message and it

480
00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:56,640
Speaker 7: was about growing up. First a half was about growing up,

481
00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:59,040
Speaker 7: you know, being unsure of being you know, openly gay

482
00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:02,159
Speaker 7: and in Britain and how that that was something that

483
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:03,720
Speaker 7: he had to deal with. But he never thought about

484
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:06,720
Speaker 7: being openly Jewish and that being a concern and now

485
00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:10,720
Speaker 7: that's the number one concern as we've progressed. But look

486
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:12,480
Speaker 7: at the comments on that. They to turn the comments

487
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:15,359
Speaker 7: off on YouTube. Really they had to look at the

488
00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:19,080
Speaker 7: response mass boycotts of Stephen Frye. Again not exactly the

489
00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:23,280
Speaker 7: voice of conservatism, not exactly the voice of anything that

490
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:26,720
Speaker 7: probably this audience would would appreciate other than maybe his work.

491
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:29,720
Speaker 2: So you see that, and it.

492
00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:32,879
Speaker 7: Is pretty shocking because you watch it as a what

493
00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:36,480
Speaker 7: would could be considered a normal American or a Westerner,

494
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:38,080
Speaker 7: and you watch it and go, how could anyone have

495
00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:39,719
Speaker 7: any problems with this, But you look at the comments

496
00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:42,840
Speaker 7: and it's all, well, you know, you're ignoring the genocide happening,

497
00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:47,960
Speaker 7: and sadly that's what's happening in Western society. Sure a

498
00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:49,560
Speaker 7: lot of it is bots. Sure a lot of it

499
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:53,440
Speaker 7: is going through and saying okay. Which again also remember

500
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:55,280
Speaker 7: because I think it's easy for us to kind of

501
00:24:55,480 --> 00:25:03,440
Speaker 7: connect Gaza and the connect Hamas was almost like a

502
00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:06,159
Speaker 7: Taliban or even a you know, like it's easy almost

503
00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:08,760
Speaker 7: like put those two together. Yeah, but this is technologically,

504
00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:11,680
Speaker 7: you know, they're working all these things to where there's

505
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:15,480
Speaker 7: massive response. There's massive digital response, Yeah, in a way

506
00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:17,320
Speaker 7: that frankly Israel does not have.

507
00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:19,480
Speaker 6: Yeah, and you know, Jeff, we taught you and I

508
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:22,520
Speaker 6: talked about this. The messaging from Israel needs some help.

509
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:26,080
Speaker 8: I agree, Jah. You know, part of the problem is,

510
00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:29,560
Speaker 8: you know, Logan's expressing concern of what he sees at

511
00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:33,960
Speaker 8: their response is Stephen Fray's beautiful message, very simple message

512
00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:38,440
Speaker 8: about just goodness and brotherhood, and that's what's happening. Israel

513
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:43,119
Speaker 8: unfortunately projects the humanity onto the world, not recognizing that

514
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:45,520
Speaker 8: for much of the world, maybe even most of the world,

515
00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:48,440
Speaker 8: they few jus is evil. There's something the loudest ones.

516
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:50,520
Speaker 8: I don't know if it's most of them, and so

517
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:53,119
Speaker 8: Israel things it's going to be judged by its behavior.

518
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:55,360
Speaker 8: And on that stand, it is the most moral army

519
00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:58,760
Speaker 8: in the world and it's waging a war actually shockingly

520
00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:02,440
Speaker 8: low civilian lateral death count, shockingly low according to every

521
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:05,400
Speaker 8: military expert. But according to the world, you know, it's

522
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:07,679
Speaker 8: pure evil. And that's what Israel's never understand. They're not

523
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:10,960
Speaker 8: being judged by their behavior. They're simply being just evil

524
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:13,800
Speaker 8: for being Jewish. There's nothing more complicated than that. And

525
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:14,640
Speaker 8: that's the reality.

526
00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:17,040
Speaker 6: We Rick Brannella on earlier and we were talking about

527
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:18,960
Speaker 6: the International Criminal Court in the Hague and I've been

528
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:21,879
Speaker 6: to the ICC the office of the Prosecutor dealing with

529
00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:25,880
Speaker 6: the matter involving Israel, and we resolved successfully, but it

530
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:28,000
Speaker 6: was it kind of tells you the nature this. Jeff,

531
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:29,840
Speaker 6: we appreciate you being with the thanks for taking the time.

532
00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:32,560
Speaker 6: Jeff Balban is a senior counselor for the ACLJ out

533
00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:34,120
Speaker 6: of our office in Jerusalem.

534
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:34,879
Speaker 2: We appreciate that.

535
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:36,880
Speaker 6: But I'll tell you the other aspect of this that's

536
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:38,919
Speaker 6: important is you've got to be there you've got to

537
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:40,639
Speaker 6: fight these fights. So, like I said, we've got an

538
00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:43,440
Speaker 6: office in Jerusalem. Jeff's heading back there now. We're fighting

539
00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:46,240
Speaker 6: at the United Nations right now. Our European Center for

540
00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:49,399
Speaker 6: Law and Justice just had families of hostages throughout the

541
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:53,720
Speaker 6: European Parliament and the Council of Europe. In the United States,

542
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:56,879
Speaker 6: we just had our govern Affairs team with the American

543
00:26:56,920 --> 00:26:59,439
Speaker 6: Center for Law Justice hosted a series of families to

544
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:02,639
Speaker 6: meet with Lee's of both Republicans and Democrats at the

545
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:05,920
Speaker 6: House of Representative Ccnward In Israel, I mean Israel, and

546
00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:09,880
Speaker 6: an event for Israel just last week with representatives from

547
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:13,040
Speaker 6: South Korea to show the support that they're getting there.

548
00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:15,320
Speaker 6: But you've got to keep this at the forefront because

549
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:16,720
Speaker 6: people do forget.

550
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:19,119
Speaker 5: Absolutely and you have to be we have to be

551
00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:23,399
Speaker 5: the voice that supports Israel, because again at the United

552
00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:26,960
Speaker 5: Nations and throughout the rest of the world, Israel gets

553
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:30,520
Speaker 5: wrongfully painted as the bad guy and they are not.

554
00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:34,320
Speaker 5: They have a right to self defense. They were horrifically

555
00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:38,600
Speaker 5: attacked by Hamas on October seventh, and their response has

556
00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:44,040
Speaker 5: been very much legal and appropriate and proportional, and yet

557
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:45,840
Speaker 5: they still get painted as the bad guys. So we

558
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:48,000
Speaker 5: have to be there. We have to be defending, we

559
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:51,280
Speaker 5: have to be speaking the truth. And the ACLJ is there.

560
00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:53,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, and our European Center for Law and Justice affiliate.

561
00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:57,400
Speaker 6: We sent a letter already to the ICC prosecutor saying, hey, listen,

562
00:27:57,800 --> 00:27:59,240
Speaker 6: you said you wanted to talk to families. Where we

563
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:01,840
Speaker 6: represent families, and these families have had their loved ones

564
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:04,800
Speaker 6: killed in a horrible, horrific incident.

565
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:06,840
Speaker 2: But what I want to tell you is the American

566
00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:07,520
Speaker 2: Center for Law.

567
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:10,440
Speaker 6: And Justice, our organization, the ECLJ, the European Center for

568
00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:13,639
Speaker 6: Law and Justice, the aclj's office in Jerusalem. All of

569
00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:18,040
Speaker 6: those offices are working together, and those officers are supported

570
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:22,000
Speaker 6: from people like you because we're a nonprofit organization, and

571
00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:24,480
Speaker 6: what that means is we're support We have donors from

572
00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 6: around the country that support our work and logan.

573
00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:30,440
Speaker 2: People need to understand that we don't charge for our services.

574
00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:31,320
Speaker 2: We do this.

575
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:34,359
Speaker 6: Everything's pro bono. Everything's free to the clients. We obviously

576
00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:36,040
Speaker 6: we have to pay our staff and our lawyers and

577
00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:39,400
Speaker 6: our media people, but your support of the ACLJ makes

578
00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:40,200
Speaker 6: a huge difference.

579
00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:42,400
Speaker 7: That's right, and right now we're in the ACLJ faith

580
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:44,880
Speaker 7: and freedom year in drive. It means it wraps up

581
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:46,640
Speaker 7: in just a couple of days and we've been able

582
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:49,680
Speaker 7: to unlock a three times match right now. And look

583
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:52,000
Speaker 7: when you hear those conversations coming out of Israel and

584
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:53,920
Speaker 7: our offices there, I mean, this couldnot be a time

585
00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 7: that's more important to support the work, not just what

586
00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:58,800
Speaker 7: we're doing, but also to get yourself involved. Maybe you're

587
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:01,360
Speaker 7: feeling maybe you're feeling the world is on fire, I mean,

588
00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:03,320
Speaker 7: and you don't know what else you can do. This

589
00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:06,200
Speaker 7: is a good way to really start the process helping.

590
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:08,480
Speaker 7: I was at a Christmas event and you know, the

591
00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:10,080
Speaker 7: lead singer, maybe Michael W.

592
00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:10,959
Speaker 2: Smith was performing.

593
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:12,520
Speaker 7: You know, it's the most wonderful time of the year,

594
00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:14,760
Speaker 7: and he at least had to stop himself sort of,

595
00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:17,720
Speaker 7: you know, halfway through their performance, not the song, but

596
00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:19,680
Speaker 7: of this show and say, you know what, we can't

597
00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:22,040
Speaker 7: just sit around here. They'll pretend everything is okay. You know,

598
00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:23,720
Speaker 7: the world is on fire. It is something that we're

599
00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:24,960
Speaker 7: dealing with right now. And he was like, I'm not

600
00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:27,160
Speaker 7: gonna get political, but we kind of all know where

601
00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:30,400
Speaker 7: where we stand. And I feel like this is that

602
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:32,560
Speaker 7: moment that this feels that way, it feels like a

603
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:33,920
Speaker 7: very dark time. It looks like a lot of dark

604
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:36,800
Speaker 7: time for people. They need hope, they need something. So

605
00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:38,600
Speaker 7: we have to be there for him and really be

606
00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:40,239
Speaker 7: able to support and look, this a good, good way

607
00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:40,600
Speaker 7: to do it.

608
00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:42,680
Speaker 6: Yeah, And so if you're looking at your ugiving to

609
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:46,200
Speaker 6: a nonprofit organization, you get the tax deduction ACLJ dot

611
00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:50,200
Speaker 6: But for the first time in our history, it's a

612
00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:52,360
Speaker 6: triple match. What that means is if you donate fifty

613
00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:54,600
Speaker 6: dollars or one hundred dollars, we're gonna get three hundred

614

00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:21,440
Speaker 7: Welcome back to Hannity Logan, Seculo J, Secular, and CCIW.

624
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:23,719
Speaker 7: And we are going to keep talking about the work

625
00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:25,960
Speaker 7: of the ACLJ, but also talk about obviously the cases

626
00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:28,200
Speaker 7: that are going on with President Trump.

627
00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:29,200
Speaker 2: Philly's involved in a.

628
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:32,760
Speaker 7: Lot right now, really and you maybe at this audience

629
00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:34,440
Speaker 7: needs to know sort of a a level of importance.

630
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:35,600
Speaker 7: What do they need to be paying attention to.

631
00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:37,920
Speaker 6: So I think number one is your right to vote,

632
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:39,920
Speaker 6: and that's the Colorado case that is now at the

633
00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:42,760
Speaker 6: Supreme Court. And then the request for expedited review. The

634
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:45,000
Speaker 6: other side even agrees that needs to be expedited. I

635
00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:47,040
Speaker 6: was watching some of the commentators. That's our case of

636
00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:49,360
Speaker 6: the American Center for Law and Justice. We represent the

637
00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:55,160
Speaker 6: Colorado Republican Party. So that's a huge case. The executive

638
00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:57,680
Speaker 6: immunity case at the Supreme Court of the United States,

639
00:30:57,680 --> 00:30:59,520
Speaker 6: well not yet, it's at the DC Court of Appeals.

640
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:02,440
Speaker 6: Jackson try to, you know, basically hijack that case and

641
00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:04,320
Speaker 6: move it to the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court said,

642
00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:06,040
Speaker 6: not so fast. You got to go through the Court

643
00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:08,080
Speaker 6: of Appeals. That was a big rebuke to Jack Smith.

644
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:11,280
Speaker 6: That's a big one. And then you've got these state

645
00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:15,800
Speaker 6: challenges in with the like Colorado in fifteen states right now.

646
00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:18,880
Speaker 6: So there's a lot going on, and all of these

647
00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:20,480
Speaker 6: affect your ability to.

648
00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:21,480
Speaker 2: Vote for the Canada of your choice.

649
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:23,080
Speaker 6: But let me tell you about this Colorado case and

650
00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:26,400
Speaker 6: why I think it's the most important one. Folks, we

651
00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:29,120
Speaker 6: live in a constitution republic. If you do not have

652
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:32,000
Speaker 6: the right to vote, you have no liberty. We fight

653
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:34,320
Speaker 6: for religious freedom at the ACLJ, we fight for freedom

654
00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:36,240
Speaker 6: of speech, we fight for pro life issues.

655
00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:37,280
Speaker 2: None of that's going to.

656
00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:41,040
Speaker 6: Happen if your right to vote is marginalized to what

657
00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:44,000
Speaker 6: a Secretary of State thinks it should be or who

658
00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:46,480
Speaker 6: thinks who you should vote for. So we took that

659
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:49,560
Speaker 6: case to the Supreme Court of the United States, the

660
00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:52,520
Speaker 6: highest court of the land, on an expedited basis. It

661
00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:56,840
Speaker 6: was filed yesterday. We just got the case number, so

662
00:31:56,880 --> 00:31:59,280
Speaker 6: that's how quick this is moving. So I would encourage
