Jay Sekulow Chief of Staff optimistic the President will return to the White House today and how will the President of the Kobe diagnoses going around Washington DC potentially impact Supreme Court battle to get Judge Baird confirmed talk about that more today on Jay Sekulow live life Washington DC phone lines are for your questions right now: one 806 843-110-1800 Jay Sekulow like this Jordan secular. We are take your phone to that's what hundred 684-3110.
There is some breaking news. It just develop even since we cut the cheese to the radio broadcast this morning.
That is the White House press secretary Kaylee Macadamia has been diagnosed with COBIT this this kind of in line with others that are taking the test at a later time. So those initial test they took that if you take it too early to get the false-negative back and doubt or false positive.
Sometimes you wait a little longer and send those tests could change as the virus develops and the antibodies things like that show up in your system so that we know I get that we did include a lot of press officials who have certainly gotten test in the last week, but may be that same situation. I would like my dad. I Jay Sekulow because this is breaking that. Of course this effects. It's on a day where the we heard from the White House Chief of Staff that the neighborly present drug may be able to go back to the White House and whether or not that's the best decision not now may come into question because the White House is said a staff if you feel like you have any of the symptoms you got to stay home and you ready to get the test you can't come to the White House to get your covert testing to go other places. So of course now we know someone very close to present his press secretary has been diagnosed apposite with COBIT and this is how to interact a lot with the oppressed court resident this morning so obviously sounded actually sounded very good. He says he's doing well pleased with his recovery.
Thus far, but Outlook got a situation now with Kaylee McInerney in our thoughts and prayers. After lot of other people that I work with have had a similar situation. Fortunately, no one in the legal team about inside the White House and outsiders had this but I think looking at you gotta take precautions but the Presidents released today. Remember they can care for him at the White House is not as if he doesn't get care while he's at the White House. He got so that would be a issue with just the question was stabilizing when the situation developed on Friday day. It sounds like that is going very well. The medicines of really really help so I'm I'm up there. He sounded very good. He was asked me questions about various matters of family as it was business as usual. I think the country in that sense, it is business as usual. But what this is serious. A lot of friends of ours Jordan yours and mine and now have this and I think you probably precautions continue to have to be taken yeah I made this point last week with the President had to going out to Walter Reed and continue out. He is not like everyone else in the country and he shook me.
He's the leader of the free world. He's a commander-in-chief I he's got to of course he's got a team around him. That has got to be around to a certain extent.
The idea that he can isolate only go so far. The Secret Service not going allow that people type up the car ride though Secret Service got member they had to go on the helicopter with including pilots when he had to go to Walter Reed. Then when he landed while treated make short drive they were in the car. Then we did. This is they are outside the room they may be inside the room, sometimes dirt during his day and of course at the White House they would be interacting to some extent this is why this is something unique to being President of the United States. No one else of the situation would have to interact this way and I think I also delete so that that narrative for the media is just wrong and the White House is a very different house that most of us will ever have even very wealthy people. They don't have hospitals inside their house and those kind of facilities inside there is a visible icy right. You need that, but it's there.
It is there. It's available and of course they can bring it whenever they need as well any doctors any specialist, as necessary, so will you take your calls on this, but also how this affects the machinations of will of government, including a Supreme Court confirmation. We met a couple of members of the Senate Judiciary Committee on the Republican side will be diagnosed. This begs the question, will there be more diagnoses this week are already seeing one with Kaylee back and he will be right back Jay Sekulow lot challenges facing Americans is no freedom or constitutional rights are under attack more important than ever to stay with the American Center for Law and Justice on the frontlines projecting your freedoms defending your rights and courts in Congress and in the public arena and we have an exceptional track record of success. But here's the bottom line we could not do our work without your support, we remain committed to protecting your religious and constitutional freedoms that remains our top priority, especially now during these challenging times. The American Center for Law and Justice is on your side, you're already a member. Thank you.
Not well this is the perfect time to stand with us ACLJ God where you can learn more about her life changing, member today ACLJ only one. A society can agree that the most vulnerable invoice.
Is there any hope for that culture to survive. And that's exactly what you are saying the American Center for Law and Justice, defendant the right to life, we've created a free powerful publication offering a panoramic view of the ACLJ's battle for the unborn Gold edition like it will show you how you are personally publication includes all major ACLJ were fighting for the rights of pro-life activists ramifications.
40 years later Planned Parenthood's role in the Obama care means to serve the many ways your membership is empowering the right question mission life today online/Jay Sekulow Jordan secular take your calls 164 3110.
I think what is unique and of course record now as special advisor national security and foreign policy for a member of a present from his cabinet very recently who still interacting a lot with the President because he's got unique up voluntary government roles at you know of the special situation Curt Serbia and Kosovo and so he's interactively present. He's been doing a lot of traveling as well out on the campaign trail in some of those roles.
So he's been out and we were traveling just last week to admit it later faith and freedom. Michael Schmidt, which gave me the vice President attended VP Pitts. He's back out on the campaign trail, but that dad unique to our broadcaster spoke to the President today.
So we've heard from lots of those people.
I don't the symbols folks a bit on television, but this is again as of the day that we got the report from the White House Chief of Staff and the presence doctors that they believe it's possible that then they're optimistic that he could return back to the White House sometime today.
They were forced will want to do that to Safeway and while you have some staffers who may have even been at the White House today test positive. I'm sure they got a cut finger clearing some of them out making sure you know it's the right decision to make it the Todd.
I think it underscores that you spoke to the present, but also the idea to go to Walter Reed took him out of that equation where those you may think that all were living at the White House. You get all these were that you have no privacy or people on top of you all the time, made every step you take the summer outside your door. Outside this room inside the room bring you things in and out so you actually are probably the idea of less interaction if if you got to be dealing with this actually happens at Walter Reed, but of course easier to operate the country from the White House that is from the present showing but what did the President how was the present.
This morning as you spoke to them and that because I thought I know that's what everybody wants to know is is people who have obviously seen some of the videos they see us of the audio.
But what was it like talking to him and and house seats as his voice and things like that but I told him that the entire country of the while speaking with the claim form thinking about him and the first lady and that undoubtedly well-wishers, but for speedy recovery and frankly Jordan.
We had a very typical conversation that I have a new patented with the President on a variety of matters he was fully engaged.
I mean, it was nothing that is engaged as ever.
I sounded good to me on obviously knows is Dr. he said probably was a rougher day and it is gotten much better since then an event planning seek arrangement very public about that but I think what I think is made great progress. The different phase if you will.
I think of this recovery probably and that's why they're looking at bringing it back to the white outcrop what you said that you make sure everything is ready for him and that it's a good environment for him a safe environment for him, but he was engaged on everything from Supreme Court the various cases that are going on into legal issues that were dealing with, but he didn't want to say thank you knows a lot of people been thinking about him and praying about them. Praying for him and praying for the first lady and praying for the others in the White House that that have tested positive or positive right now. Again, I know I chatted with a couple of these friends of ours at noon. I worked very closely that habit. As I said nobody in the legal team has had it. As of now, but there been a lot of friends but is not only did not have at it.
I know dealing with the right now for thoughts and prayers to them, but I will say this.
The President was fully engaged and we we were on the phone for probably 10 minutes and but it was fully engaged in, and it ended the discussion was fully engaged with what was going on you.
We talked this 25th amendment issues on the broadcast last week when this occurred and the news broke it that the President not not just tested positive that that that that the idea that that then the President went to Walter Reed. But then I none of that seems to have have ever been close to a situation which honestly if you have to have a at we tug a colonoscopy and and and you have to make that transfer.
It's very temporary, but you do because you're under anesthesia and then you have to come out of anesthesia. So certainly you should not be making decisions about national security presence. Even with the treatments he's received. These are not treatments that impair your ability to carry out the job know it clearly hasn't. I know that even in scheduling a time to speak with him today and talked with the Chief of Staff and make sure that he just missed the call, what I call right it's like it's like back to his normal productive self committees as it is very very much engaged in what's going on here so I think that's that's very positive. I think the thing that we have to keep in mind is and I know we talked about the 25th amendment issues that were not in that situation. I mean look. Anybody can be met situation in a moments notice you don't, you never know that's what we have appointed Mama put God President is gotten faculties is fully engaged, hopefully, does get home and and and get home still get the appropriate medical care that he needs in an environment that's a little bit more comfortable although he said both are rated T told me is the Presidential suites, a phenomenal facility that lets them work fully engaged videoconferencing conference rooms the whole that I mean it's it it's it's a blessing that a country has not available to our commander-in-chief. I'll say that what let me only to say, as were tearful because 164 3110 in Washington DC within action would take this call because a lot of people on this question two because it's not just the President that certainly the most important leader in our country, but you've also got members of the Judiciary Committee and people are questioning your sense, some from the left, I think is very disingenuous. They been having hearings and votes remotely and in the house and said they were doing all this said to have it required witnesses to come in even like Jim Colby goes under oath last week but he did have to come in they have canceled other than others have been canceled. McCabe's lawyer said were not doing it, but that that I think it raises some questions. It was kind of happening in the midst of all this, but as things settle down would take phrase call to get your immediate reaction to this than Frank in Florida like to welcome you Jay Sekulow live your on the air phone call likely going on. The United States Senate in 19 how would this affect the community for judge Barrett on the 12th. Right now you're hearing from some of the left a safe you need to's. We should not do the hearings.
That's because of two Republicans on the committee that have been tested positive for cocaine Republicans say we can we can still move forward with our schedule.
So where it where things stand right now it seems like obviously there they were trying to figure things out late last week so enter McCabe's test. We did end up happening, but this is not so.
Stephen startled the 12, October 12. Yeah next Monday a week from today Jordan and you know I did this claim that the hearing should be postponed is just so outlandish to me just that, lay the groundwork.
The reason that some on the left are calling for the hearings to be delayed are specifically because Senators Lee and Tillis who sit on the Senate Judiciary Committee have tested positive. Now Sen. Johnson has as well, though he's not on the committee so he would not be participating in that process, but Jordan is you kind of alluded to in just so ridiculous because the same senators who are calling for a delay in the hearings were the ones that were insisting that a virtual option be available for all committee proceedings. This goes back for months now Jordan is in almost every case, you have a senator who is now saying there needs to be a delayed who was insisting on a virtual being an option, and then Jordan, you have a screenshot of those senators participating in other committee proceedings. Guess what, the virtual teleconferencing to look. Sen. Graham has already said it's good to be a hybrid model he's gonna do everything that he can to be in the room and will have that option available for those who have tested negative. And there will be social distancing in place but for those who want to participate via Skype or via zoom or via some teleconferencing that will be an option. It will be totally permissible. Jordan I will tell you. I fully expect a week from today. That hearing will begin you will be October 12. There will be four days and then as early as October 16 that Friday of the nomination will be available for a vote in committee. Jordan I am hearing about delay tactics that may be preceded but we can get into some of those if you want the money just say this for now.
If those delay tactics are engaged. The majority has options to move the vote forward as well. So if Democrats want to play that game their permanent paramilitary options available on both sides, and I still expect this nomination to be on the floor of the Senate before the election seminary guy that is the current tactic is very important attribute. This is the people's next question will be, is that you're going to see obviously I we were time at this site. Changes in some of the Leone you have this campaign manager. People are taken out of pocket for basically that the almost the rest of the campaign and not that they can't operate remotely to some extent in a campaign manager. Usually I would be doing that at this point, but because you have to have like most of your decisions made, but at the White House level. There certainly we might be seeing some new faces for the next couple weeks to because you still have press briefings will still need to do those kind of be new people. I think that's right look as old as all staff and when you know this is the primary principal. And then there's the deputies, so all of that to see all of that may change because of the situation, but I'm getting a lot of inquiries right now. People report addressing about me. I was not at the Amy Barrett budget Barrett event and I was already back in our headquarters on that Thursday. I have let I was in Washington the whole week before management time present was tested. Obviously, every day and it was tested when I got back, and I've been negative IQ test was negative about time so this can affect anybody in our thoughts and prayers are with the President and first lady and all those that have contacted not just in the White House when around the country and around the world. People take your calls on these issues to 164 3110. What questions you have an end point where you think I don't think it's wrong to ask if it was six months out. We probably would be focusing on. But it's not wrong to ask when you're under 30 days out from a Presidential election how you think this is going to impact the election you talk to friends and family and your community, your states across the country. Give us a call 1-800-684-3110. It's unique because we have someone on the air with us right now could say they spoke to the present. Today give you that insight as well. But what are you hearing want to know your insight to from your friends and your FedEx. I think this is fair to discuss now.
It certainly has an impact on the election of 1-800-684-3110 will be right back only one. A society can agree that the most vulnerable invoice. Is there any hope for that culture to survive.
And that's exactly what you are saying when the American Center for Law and Justice, defendant the right to life, we've created a free powerful publication offering a panoramic view of the ACLJ's battle for the unborn Gold mission will show you how you are personally publication includes a look at all major ACLJ were fighting for the rights of pro-life activist ramifications 40 years later, when Obama care means to discover the many ways your membership is empowering the right question mission life today online/challenges facing America is freedom's or constitutional rights are under attack more important than ever to stay with the American Center for Law and Justice on the frontlines projecting your freedoms and rights in courts in Congress and in the public arena and we have an exceptional track record of success. But here's the bottom line we could not do her work cultures, we remain committed to protecting your religious and constitutional freedoms than remains our top priority, especially now during these challenging times. The American Center for Law and Justice is on your side, you're already a member. Thank you. Not well this is the perfect time to stand with us ACLJ God where you can learn more about her life changing, member today seeing LJ secularity or phone calls 160 3110. The latest news from the presence medical team and his chief of staff is that they hope to the present there optimistic is the exact word use the present to return to the White House today that this comes on the heels of his White House press secretary Guy Kaylee Macadamia if you just joining us, you make this maybe forcing her to she's tested positive for covert for the coronavirus and this would be people who would've taken multiple test starting last week and so you see what they say that you know that the early test even for Joe Biden. People like that the early test they take are not necessarily conclusive, depending on when the last time you interacted with, of course, your present United States to be interacting with them. Even now he's got interact with at your secret service, Inc. has no choice about that.
The Secret Service makes a choice that's writing, he's going to run the country that you spoke of the day.
Uniquely, so I get to that.
Why don't you keep repeating but people, people tune into doubt it's unique that you have been able speak to the present. This morning before your going on air.
So I get I would tell people what what what he sound like because they see the videos exceed. Obviously, I think like this.
If you're ever hot in the hospitalized. You can even put a sport coat on and do your hair and hair and talk to a camera and and do that. That is a very different than most people that that end up in the hospital you see why we present obviously they take different steps and need of care and they thought this was just a better place to to treat him initially after the first couple days and but you see if the subject could was walking down the helicopter putting on clothes, talking to the public fully functional. I guess that I tried talking with them.
I just went on air actually probably miserable when an error sounded great. He was bullying gave me a full discussion about a wide variety of issues from the whole gamut of what you're reading about NDE and the couple met specific matters and I'm engaging for.
We discussed them to discuss strategy. How are moving forward on that strategy was really engaged on it so I think that I'm very pleased with that obviously is doctors make the determination if he gets released today me also say this is the site we were discussing with bandits, but any bareboat left is to do everything they can to derail this nomination for the fact of the matter is she's well-qualified, the most qualified candidates. We never had. She's brilliant.
Nobody questions that even Joe Biden question at and she's going to be confirmed. I mean it's under different circumstances. But that's what they're concerned about because the lasting legacy of any presidency, Supreme Court is present at three Supreme Court appointments in four years. Think about that but I think that we appointments in four years.
So why Smith is well within for everybody listing right now. Here's what Chuck Schumer had to say. He's of course is and we we talked with this, I thought that memorized I was Sean Spicer on his show on Newsmax. I said that he's is a digest if course there's is not a done deal and you don't. I don't believe people like Dick Durbin.
They look for any reason to stop this to try to slow this down or delay this confirmation delay that the hearings now. They found one. Try to use the reason of Republicans who tested positive, who are not safe to delay it to delay it and take Alyssa Chuck Schumer, the only delay is face-to-face. They've all had an opportunity.
In fact many interesting things that he says that because their members of the Senate Judiciary committee Democrats. What a hypocrite won't even meet with Judge Barrett because a COBIT or anything like that. They decide to meet with her so they can care about seeing her face-to-face. This is this is a live from Chuck Schumer typical Chuck Schumer the nastiness. The screaming that all on gods green earth like he cares about that when his own members of his own party who he could instruct ours are not even meeting with Judge Barrett. Those are members of the judiciary committee, who say they won't meet with her because they don't want to give it any legitimacy to this whole face-to-face idea is just is just wrong.
It's also I think out of step with the times that we've all got used to be able to do to go about this way and figure things out there that could be with her.
They don't even want to be involved in questioning whether that's the truth you're in, and in fact, with the exception of Joe mansion.
Every single us in a Democrat, has refused that face-to-face meeting. So yeah, it's that the height of hypocrisy.
I would also note Jordan both United States Senate and oh by the way, the United States Supreme Court. This is how they been operating for months on end. Now they have adjusted to the pandemic. They have made virtual teleconferencing in some case an option. In some cases mandatory. This is just the new normal. Look, I think most likely there will be a hybrid option but every single senator on that committee. By the way, including the ones who tested positive organ. Have a safe option for participating in this year.
Even if you have an ongoing test, you could participate if you're feeling up to it via virtual teleconferencing. Jordan we just quickly say this you can hear a lot about a two hour rule and Juergen, I hear about a holdover vote rule. The two hour rule is just as Senate Democrats will say after the Senate has been in session for two hours working to shut committee hearings down so if they try to invoke that Jordan what they will be doing is actually shrinking the time of the hearing you think Republicans are to mind that I don't think so. The other thing is that there gonna say Chairman Grant has to hold over the vote. In other words, wait a week inside committee before holding that vote. If they do that Jordan.
All Chairman Graham is in a state. If, by the way he even allows that which he doesn't have to. But if he does he'll say okay the hearings again and on Thursday working to schedule a vote for the next day on Friday.
I'll let you hold it over for a week.
That takes us to Friday the 23rd. Guess what Jordan is still available to be on the floor. The United States Senate the week of October 26 the two sides can play that game, there's the height of hypocrisy.
The nominations can move forward. Record okay be joining us to the next SM of the broadcast.
Talk about how this affects the campaign trail is a new piece will be up on ACLJ website. Very unique is a former answer for acting director of national intelligence on Hunter by and these connections to Brisbane. These connections to Ukraine in the Moscow mayor and the impact that had on our national security, but it's it's family bringing westward because we know the present was actually brief yesterday that there have been no attempt by foreign adversaries to try to utilize his health situation to to it to take advantage of the United States how to use the language right right in here so that in the media of the national security is sort of like the psalmist talks about God in the Bible and that is they never slumber her sleep certainly are and that there is always looking for reasons to take advantage but as of this morning, for example, there been no unusual troop movements are moving of naval assets either by China or Russia who are cheap adversaries and the press United States is still at work. He's alert he's awake he did not not undergoing MC's election present have in the past. He simply at work and there are multiple contingency plans always, always on the drawing board. Contingency plans for things that you cannot even imagine ways we are going to respond in a simple decision by the commander-in-chief would put those actions in play, but the United States has a multilevel national security team that is always at work and there's redundancy in that team and is not just the President.
Although the presence perfectly capable of responding to anything but there's the vice President sector defense sector state director of national intelligence, who controls the assets of CIA and FBI. There's your combatant commanders literally around the world. Four-star generals were not operating in a in a situation where decisions can't be made, and certainly at the top of that pyramid is the President of the United States who is keeping his fingers on everything that's going on as he always does.
We get back I now former acting director of national intelligence and get his thoughts on this situation. Also on the campaign.
The politics were 29 days after the election, folks. Many of you can Artie vote in your state.
Early voting or the mail but voting my own expense. Next, I got one of the DC ballot that's been in five, six years since I voted there got a live ballot in the mail. I can actually assure you were back out.
But again the number to call 1-800-684-3110 is only step to ACLJ.org and Rick Grenell broadcast ACLJ on the frontlines of protecting your rights in court and Congress in the public arena. The American Center for Law and Justice is on your side, you're already a member thinking.
If you're not well this is the perfect time to stand with us, ACLJ.org, where you can learn more about our life-changing work, member today seeing okay live from Washington DC and secular is great hit update from ident on the President's health and and and how he sounded because you get to hear from some of the sprocket spoke to present today. I know this comes in light of the news course breaking out of the news of the White House press secretary Kaylee McEnaney has been diagnosed covert pods. I don't. I think there's going to be others at the White House. We know that the younger you are typically easier. The battle is in the present reference that between the difference of of him fighting covert and his wife.
The first lady Lonnie from fighting covert interests that is different. Make a big deal but making me even more nervous of things like this. I'll try to show the I might what about our staff numbers and a government affairs team David Fonseca got the mail in Washington DC. My wife and I have you lived there.
As for us as citizens of the district 6 years ago probably voted there.
I think once and in the local election.
We just got to live balance. These are live ballot some holy ones. My wife was mine is not a request is more live balance there floating around the country who literally this was not the case two years ago you had to request something you had to go through that process. There were this many ballots available and you know we think we live in is honest that they gathered in this would like us to stress and directly send those down to accent like to show people that it's not just a random person hears rain for its everyone if you've lived in multiple places or something like kind of lives in multiple places or has has in the past 10 years lived a couple plays or 20 years or longer.
People are getting ballots even in places you might not be anymore. They might be arriving at that the home and you just have to wonder if if if if tapping the situation got live balance here how many live balance or across the country and when you talk about election day what it could potentially mean for election day record now enjoys a special visor at the ace of a red eye is what you're here for first your thoughts on the President in my data just been joyous and he drops we can have you connecting traveling, but your thoughts on the present with with how he's been dealing with and how you think this is good affects any been on the campaign trail as well that potentially election day, or if we know that yet. This is actually to help the President and here's why. Right now the media really terrible job of telling people that the overwhelming majority of people who coded experienced no symptoms are mild symptoms or not so bad and and get through it in a flulike way and we have vulnerable populations in the elderly and others absolutely need to take this seriously and the flu. Seriously. I go back to the fact that we all need to just put on our our realist hat and say of course we have to protect our grandparents and vulnerable populations meet. We have to make sure that we stay as healthy as possible but again, the overwhelming number of people who get coded b-day and this is not something that I think Donald Trump is going to be able to turn into a personal story to say I personally know exactly what people are going through IP debt holder. You can do that were working on a vaccine, he can really personalize this in a way that no one else can begin to demystify what I think the media are doing, which is really pretending like you know this is is is way worse than what it is jump on a look at the statistics, no one is trying to downplay is not a serious but I think sensitive overplaying and scaring people into believing something about it that it's not like the cerise to stay with us. Remembering back to Rick Ray we get back this break so when talking to about each item pleasing enough to see these bets has pieced up in ACLJ that organist is Hunter Byron dealings you requisite for acting director of national intelligence and how that was affecting the Obama administration.
I don't think were talking, that's enough of these issues, but I think very few perspective, the present could take this a different way to the country to this we don't need to be shut down if I can get through it. 74 you can to the challenges facing Americans is now free to sort constitutional rights are under attack more important than ever to the American Center for Law and Justice on the frontlines checking your freedoms and rights in court in Congress and in the public exceptional track record of success.
But here's the bottom line we could not do more work without your support, we remain committed to protecting your religious and constitutional freedoms that remains our top priority, especially now during these challenging times. The American Center for Law and Justice is on your side, you're already a member thinking well this is the perfect time to stand with us ACLJ God where you can learn more about our life-changing, member today seeing okay only one.
A society can agree that the most vulnerable invoice.
Is there any hope for that culture to survive. And that's exactly what you are saying the American Center for Law and Justice right to life, we've created a free publication offering a panoramic view of the ACLJ's battle for the unborn will show you how you are personally publication includes all major ACLJ were fighting for the rights of pro-life activist ramifications 40 years later, when Obama care me anyways. Your membership is powering the right question mission life today online/Jay Sekulow like this Jordan secular take your phone calls 164, 31 to update you on this chief counsel ACLJ Jay Sekulow.
He was on before Rick joined and my Skype is he's on the road and and he talked to present this morning.
He relayed his thoughts to give the presidency of obviously going to call the call. Just like usual I carry out the functions of of of his office and I want to go back to recruit no special visor to the ACLJ because Rick I do or talk about the new preschool about Hunter Biden and because you got unique roles. Former Baxter and said, for acting director of national intelligence and all that we've learned from the Senate report but I first we go back to your your thought, your thoughts of the way the President is going to be able into since Arty is starting the conversation, but especially as he would if if he is able to return the White House to speak to the American people, maybe even a more like a live basis and do a home where the press conference or through some some some way that still safe that he can talk about the idea of the we we should not be shutting down our entire government, just like we don't shut down or our entire country and economy. We don't do that during flu season now. Sometimes I know you're my daughter situation. Lester even before covert her preschool clothes for a week because the flu you do have to make decisions and their third third local, but at the same time you don't shut down ever everything and that that that's not the way to combat this in the fort for different people are different risk levels they need to make those decisions, but different. Generally, the country should be able to reopen and get back on track variety that go into making a decision about the hell of society.
It's not just one area. Certainly, way to think about men, the mental health is the economic health.
We have to think about, you know, young kids and what what this is doing to them in terms of not being able to socialize and learning row. Of course we have to think about the health and physical health of vulnerable populations, but I think that it's clear that there has been a manipulation of the situation for political gain. And that's not good. We we need to be able to understand that when those on the other side are trying to shut down our economy in order to penalize Donald Trump and squeeze people in order to make pain in order to make a power-play election. That's really outrageous that the manipulation of the media we see over and over and over again that overplaying and dramatizes she's I thought it was really interesting that Pres. Trump did his disruptive technology which he has done in journalism and the journalist hated because he doesn't go through them in the normal way he did a video he did several personal videos where he show the American people exactly what he's going through.
He spoke directly to them for more than just a soundbite. He did a video interview with the American people. Now what was the reaction from the media. They went crazy because they didn't get that video and they didn't get the power of having the filter and happening as Pres. Trump is disrupted journalism and journalists are really angry about it, but I would go back to the fact that what the American people. The Constitution really the spirit that is getting transparent, authentic information to the American people not to the newsrooms but to the American people and that's what we now have the ability, Trump tweets videos you can see, you can see that he's actually doing pretty well, and what happens is the media meltdown. Is that what we have anonymous sources that is not doing so well. Well the American people are like Wellesley see the video. He's doing pretty well be the point that if you're in a situation and we bought many of us have been and whether it's serious or less serious but if you if you're hospitalized for any reason put on sport coat being able to do videos get dressed do all of that just tells you there's precautions that you take is President you make these decisions that are different than most of us take these operate within a question to every good to see again.
I just wanted asked from your perspective about the national security implications of all this I you know United States Senate is putting out multiple reports that have to deal with how we walk through the situation from a national security perspective.
I know there's a particular interest on Hunter Biden, but I'm most interested actually in how the administration would deal with. Maybe the need to to balance a decision has to be made during this time I don't think we've been in it in a. During this process were the President has maybe had to consider that about maybe explained to some of our listeners. In light of the Senate report that there can it be seen how they would actually handle that. Should the President need to temporarily transfer any power how that would work. How would function and maybe just from your perspective. Does that impair the United States readiness during this period we have incredible checks and balances on the whole system and you know whether it's the NSE run by Robert O'Brien, who has a very strong deputy Matt Pottinger and all of the different mechanisms at the NSE or the State Department or the department defense.
There's a whole variety of people who still are going to the machinations of the process and giving information watching the intelligence sources, making sure that the the successes of government continue. We we need to be able to recognize as the Americans on the outside that our government is incredibly prepared. We also have the backup plan that if for some reason the President couldn't make a decision. You have the vice President was ready and healthy and has a whole team as well. That has been preparing him we we are a country that is incredibly well prepared and while we want the President to be healthy. We pray for his help to get him back. We we are prepared in every possible way and the systems of government, the decisions of government continue. I was really encouraged to see the President talk about how he continued to do meetings. He was briefed by Robert O'Brien and the intelligence community still while he was in the hospital. We have a preparedness that is unmatched and I think that people need to understand that no matter the drama the media with anonymous sources and and machine you know false narratives we we have a government that is well-funded thanks to the American taxpayer and well-prepared and really smart so no one should be concerned that, even while the President is in the hospital that things don't continuous normal, less begins with Smith. You also say you know the President is is not the one who produces intelligence related to national security.
He is the chief consumer of that intelligence. All the other operations they can can you unabated right is actually 17 intelligence agencies and community actually produces intelligence and verifies intelligence and checks and remembered intelligence is just an estimate, but all of that continues for a variety of policymakers. I mean, I think there there's hundreds of people that get the President's daily briefing. All of those individuals continue to do their job.
They all have deputies. I think actually there's an argument that we probably are begging government, but the reality is that we have a plethora of offices and people that continue to monitor intelligence that make decisions those decisions that bubble up to the President on bigger issues. All of those that continued the President is continue to have those meetings. The vice President is also there to help make those decisions and and remember national security advisor Robert O'Brien several weeks ago so he seems to be immune to all of this and so he continues today to function with his very large team as well. Rick final question for today to be a couple minutes letter about a minute and 1/2 left. You got a new piece going up on NACLJ.org about this revelations were getting the same report on Hunter Biden the Biden family connection.
The Obama ministries you came out of the cabinet as the overseeing of 17 different intelligence agencies and what you talk about this piece and again it will be up soon.
NACLJ.org so people could see it will share it on on social media to but that this is very serious to him. We need to understand what was going on. The Obama administration because they knew about these the step. Their people warning them about the steps and it we don't know what was done doesn't appear like MPP did any payments to Hunter Biden or his continued operation. This way, this is not a bigger media issue for 11 years, and state and senior officials were very concerned about hundred Biden even approaching then VP Joe Biden staff saying were very concerned that Hunter is using your name and out with foreign governments going on for collecting money. This is a problem for the state that they raised at multiple levels and you know what's really shocking Jordan is that none of this ever be during the Obama that the second that it ministration it would been leaked sideways from in this is like multiple multiple career people warning warning warning, and it never be in the Biden Pres. Biden's team ignored and dismissed it twisted away, even though they had the warnings only when a society can agree the most vulnerable.
Is there any hope for that culture to survive.

The American Center for Law and Justice is on your side, you're already a member. Well, this is the perfect time to stand with us. ACLJ.org where you can learn more about her life changing, member today NACLJ Jay Sekulow that's going to be a very busy time between now and very constantly change to stay to honor on a broadcasted a seal J.org because here we broaden folks every you got that update today. Someone who was on the phone with the present this morning As their chief counsel Jay Sekulow my dad and then you have Rick Rundell forward cabinet member who was overseeing the 17 intelligence agencies. Remember, that's what he did is acting director of national intelligence and of course a former US investors. He taught at the State Department 11 years he's explained she won the national security implications of issues that that if the President could face while he fighting: please also talk about the bigger issues about who were going to choose to be our next President and the fact that these issues like Hunter Biden were the same people. If you look at Rick's new piece was to be up to a seal J.org you will see names you may remember from the impeachment hearings. People like George Kitt at the State Department. They were the same individuals alerting the Obama administration bureaucrats are said you know what this is so bad I would actually go to the pollute the politically elected officials and warn them about the vice President son that I can put your unity that can be pretty risky decision to make. It should be you could imagine. You got it. You gotta think it's pretty serious, pretty dangerous to the country and that that is causing problems with our foreign policy or national security to make those steps leading to the media that were George Kitt knows people are different, they all lead to to the media when they didn't like a phone call. The President had with 35+ people on it. They went right to the media they made up news accounts with fake whistleblowers all in a National Security Council staff at State Department staff.
You know were leaking it obviously leaked out, but of the Obama ministration. There was no reports about this artifact. Job I do try to sell you overcome your drug addiction. So at the same time is getting millions of lines of credit to his brother-in-law. I mean from Chinese government officials. It sounds absurd and almost think that's how the mainstream media is trying to get around reporting as of the sounds too crazy to even say but this is you is her time under the breakout west at your service or retired Creek go to the IRS.
You could see the but you need to go there we met.
We note that the Senate committees found that they were getting worn by this was known inside the State Department. Unfortunately this was known where are where we were trying where the above mistress was acting it with serious situation involving Ukraine, the annexation of Crimea ads Hunter binds conflicts with the Moscow mayor in Ukraine and even China and lines of credit from Chinese government officials people involved with sex trafficking people that have a dinner on the US no good list if you will be apprehended by the United States.
They were under our jurisdiction he was doing business with you. Can you imagine it any other person did this other than that that time, the sitting vice President son multimillion dollar wire transfers from from people in China and Russia. Of course, the whole you Ukrainian deal were device presence put in charge of your Canaan policy Joe Biden and that his son mysteriously gets on the board there with a multimillion dollar salary. You know, at the debate last week whenever Pres. Trump brought this up. Biden kept saying that's a lie that's not true that's a lie. Well, the US Treasury Department begs to differ because the Senate report is partly based on own data and reports from the Treasury Department that in fact hundred Biden was receiving this money was going back and forth and it was money coming from questionable characters, both in communist China, Russia and Ukraine right folks I can we figure from hundred 64 3110. I try to cover all these issues that breaking issues to Kaylee McInerney who is the White House press secretary is tested positive for covert Soviet if you get if you join us like broadcast.
I just wanted to update people because this is a lot happening anything and we got 29 day selection a Supreme Court confirmation that people like Chuck Schumer want to derail and there such so hypocritical present there. Say what you can't do it face-to-face, Internet at this two Republican members of tested positive. But even if it has to be done in some kind of virtual way with sophisticated technology. I mean, for goodness sakes, we been doing Supreme Court cases by conference call could even CIA eyes were doing it. They are doing it. Still, in most court cases are not doing it via Zoom and less is likely a witness involved things that they are literally taking oral arguments via conference call lines and so if you could do that you could certainly have hearings and those Senate Democrats who are complaining about having hearings virtually done or if it has to be some way shape or form like that. We have until next Monday for them to figure that out how that's needs to operate or to members need to join remotely. The Democrats will not even meet with her face-to-face to the idea they need to look her in the eye.
They refused to do it then they refused it last week. Yet typography George's first one quick comment about conversation you had with West One of the documents that we uncovered in our FOIA litigation showed that one of the Obama administration officials that was communicating with the White House and the FBI about those of us combing spies in the White House right before inauguration Jordan. She is now deputy campaign advisor for the Joe Biden campaign. So if you think the same people organ end up in government. Just one more example but at your point about the hypocrisy of the Supreme Court hearing short. I think it would really be informational to read this on May 6 right is the covert outbreak was happening Sen. Amy Claude Bashar, who sits on the Senate Judiciary Committee made these remarks while participating remotely at a hearing about a DC circuit nominee. She said thank you, Mr. Chairman, and also thank you for being willing to do a hybrid hearing like were seen today. Sen. Blunt and I in the rules committee worked hard to get this done and I'm glad that we are saying seen senators there as well as remotely.
So thank you. Fast forward to this week Jordan October 3. She says this in a letter to Chairman Grant Grant to proceed at this juncture with a hearing to consider dirt.Judge Barrett's nomination to the Supreme Court threatens the health and safety of all those who are called upon to the work of this body. So Jordan which is it the Democrats on the committee that are participating in this process are taking credit for putting the rules in place that allow hybrid technology teleconferencing hearings to happen actually bragging about it. And now that they are the ones responsible for participating in that way during the say can't be done just too difficult and it's too hazardous. I think this. I think the entire seat. At noon there.
It's some of this is been movies extremely fascia the present diagnosed at this Cody had Supreme Court nomination had that battle, you have the 29 dayshift election was to come down to recruit nails right. I think that you know it may not be again. What you say in polite society right now, but with that. So what how we handle this broadcast. We try to bring our truth in analysis is at the present is is appears to be a walking talking example of why we don't need to shut down our entire economy. While you don't need to shut down our entire cities and travel and business and and that we can get back to going to to kind of work, and that does not mean that we don't take precautions that doesn't mean that people might that there will be people get sick that we got to risk analysis you like. Rick talked about is it we got mental health issues arising from this at economic health issues arising from this and you do not want cures to be worse than then again the actual virus itself. In it, and I think we're going down that path.
In some states in our country. Depending on where you live in. Of course, if you live in big states they make decisions like that affects people in other states. You have to look at your to make these risk assessments that we do the free world. We had the flu each year it comes it comes a different form. Some years worse, sometimes it's harder and often times you got the fluid 74 to be in worse shape than it appears. The present is right now from what is called the regular norming of the normal flu so I get I sent it's not to again play down the covert is to put it into context into context and will be talk about all these issues this week on Jay Sekulow life. Go to ACLJ.org as well. Rick Snoopy's recruit nails to be up there soon on Hunter Biden. We need to be talk about these big issues to let them fall by the wayside. We will talk tomorrow on the broadcast on the frontline protecting your rights in court in Congress and in the public arena.
