Remaking the Judiciary: Senate Confirms 200th Trump Appointee

Jay Sekulow live read making the judiciary U.S. Senate confirms the 200 dominate the courts live from Washington DC line phone lines are open questions right now 800-6843 1-101-800-6841 two, your host, secular elections have consequences.

We say that time and time again, would you think about the amount of judicial nominees. The present troubles made but not just nominations that the Senate has confirmed that Mitch McConnell available through the U.S. Senate on some of the tightest of barges were this 53 Republican senators not all that were the most conservative of the world. Let's be honest, and you got that the Democrats and so would you put these margins up big time. A confirmation about their 52 to 48. That was the confirmation vote for the 200th 200 federal judge dominated by Pres. Trump was confirmed by the U.S. Senate. I will write if they been in Washington DC on Capitol Hill said we were talking before, but on the air.

1/3 of the Court of Appeals judges in the United States are not just now Republican nominees were literally nominated by Pres. Trump and conferred by this U.S. Senate. These are really remarkable numbers during their several layers as you can go through but the 200 federal judges article 3 judges confirmed by the Senate, nominated by Pres. Trump is a remarkable number. I think that 53 Circuit Court judges may be more remarkable 30%. Almost one in three of every judge sitting on the US circuit Court of Appeals as we say. So many times.

Jordan that's the layer that's the level where most of these cases are decided. Very few cases go all the way to the Supreme Court. Now, one in three judges are nearly one in three was nominated by Donald Trump and we can maybe get to this next layer later in the broadcasters but there are also a number of circuit courts that inflict control and you can count them 10 judges nominated by the Pres. Trump now said on the infamous Ninth Circuit door. There's only 29 judges sitting on the Ninth Circuit. 10 of them were nominated by this President that that is not keeping take into account who is not a byproduct. President Bush and so you got the gap.

Between President Bush that the Pres. Obama for two terms. And then you go back and you got it you got this added to this is this is a big deal really talk about to match Lasky to be joyous, the next leg of the broadcast as well. He's a week. He's a good rep in the truck to pay on the air today and and he should be talking about this this this is again it's one of those topics as were all face with all these other issues all day. Whether it's riots taking down monuments or or covert, 19 news to Pe�a where we live in the country. These other other big points like confirming 200, 200 and states. Article 3 judges. These are the these are federal judges that are dominated by the President must be confirmed by the U.S. Senate and you ear including their the two Supreme Court nominees get the most attention course into Cavanaugh but then you go down the next level and you don't hear a lot about all the Court of Appeals nobody. Sometimes there are a few that that rice that level. But even number 200 I think because of everything going on in our country that kind of subsumes the dues it doesn't get through as much as it sure that we don't all understand as state was walking through the ramifications of these numbers, so it's not just that there's 200 and kind of just go to scatter.

It's it's it's literally the fact that there is not another Court of Appeals vacancy to fill right now there's zero vacancies so elections will have consequences because you are on the other precipice of turning these courts changing these courts for generations. So you will have more vacancies. If you're reelected as you approach reelection and whether that's at the Supreme Court where I think there will be vacancies again and present trip started out to be. There could be here to more easily and at the next four years. The Court of Appeals, where stayed put out your 99.9% of cases.

That's as high as they possibly go as high as the Court of Appeals had at these. These courts are changing in their changing generationally where you could look 20 years down the road and realize the significance of what is happening today. Your vote matters.

The election matters and understating all of the issues as you catch that are important.

We write back on Jay Sekulow live also encourage you go to ACLJ.org check out our school choice initiative that we launch this week the challenges facing Americans are substantial time and are no more freedoms or constitutional rights are under attack is more important than ever to stay with the American Center for Law and Justice for decades ACLJ has been on the front lines protecting your freedoms defending your rights and courts in Congress.

It's called mission will show you how you are personally publication includes a look at all major ACLJ cases were fighting for the rights of pro-life activist ramifications 40 years later Planned Parenthood's role in the end what Obama care means to serve in many ways your membership is empowering the right to life question free copy of mission in life today online ACLJ/Jay Sekulow this Jordan secular to your phone calls to one 800 684 31 two that's 1-800-684-3110. This is something we had a couple these issues come back you yesterday.

We went through because wheat we did the flayed opinion the day before that and then we thought okay so Thursday we said we were to go through that the straw connotes so spend more time on that because we spent time on in relation to flayed and kind of going through that entire page which is a huge deal and then you have and that was a Court of Appeals decision from the DC Court of Appeals. Anybody got the other Strauch those big deal. You gotta put those together. We tried every look at this nominations issue and it came about you we we cut we mentioned it as a kind of mood didactic unit.

The scope is a big deal you're talking about 200 Federal Ct. nominees that have been nominated by Pres. Trump and confirmed by the U.S. Senate there on the bench there there and while we spent a lot of time and at what I say. We spent a lot of time in the American public who does tooted to follow this really falls it only when it reaches a level.

The US Supreme Court. In those big hearings.

We have a lot of politicization and a lot of polarization to in the country and they get pretty nasty. As we saw down with Dorset you was it. It wasn't so nasty was still very tight margins and a with a Cavanaugh get very nasty which we see before our history it's it's kind of unfortunately part of the that process that you come to expect but but in reality there's a lot of an endless. The Democrats noticed the left knows this people on the other side of this with different judicial philosophy notices well that if you can get through in your first term to where you have no vacancies on the Court of Appeals. That is, that is unbelievable cheap heavy. I don't use unbelievable lightly and it is is actually unbelievable that achievement to be able to get that through at a time. Think about the time that's that's happy I out of Thibodeau Washington DC because then that's something you.I realized it was that the time. These companies are taking place in his one of the more dysfunctional times and it Washington DC on Capitol Hill, but because this goes to the U.S. Senate directly under our Constitution does not go through active go through the house represent Nancy Pelosi. Elections have consequences. Republicans are still in charge of the U.S. Senate and they been able to take these nominees through that process will first of all, Jordan is been 40 years since there hasn't been a vacancy on the circuit Court of Appeals level. So even if you only look at it from a historical lens. It really is almost unprecedented, that there would be no vacancies and he looked, there was like there's just a small number of vacancies to start. There have been 53 vacancies filled in Jordan we just put a little context on what you said about the times in Washington DC. There have been what is what is known as cloture vote, which is basically the into a filibuster ever since Pres. Truman.

There was an opportunity to invoke cloture votes, a Jordan, if you add up all of the cloture votes that have been required on federal judges from Pres. Truman. Up until Pres. Trump you have to multiply that by five times to get to the number that Democrats have tried have required for Pres. Trump nominees to the number in itself is amazing Jordan, but you have had to take an overwhelming number of cloture votes burn up Senate floor time. That is the level of commitment to leader McConnell and Chairman Graham and Chairman Grassley have had to this measure could. Kudos to Pres. Trump for keeping the nominees coming kudos to the Senate for keeping them turning on both of those levels, though Jordan really is a remarkable number by 100-684-3110.

If you are away on that I get questions, comments of how important is it to you as your deciding you how involved to be in this election which is good be a different kind of involvement to bear where you live in the country. What kind of reopening facial ratify will 1-800-684-3110. How important is judicial nominations to you will take your calls, your comments on that we are joined by a very special guest right now good friend of mine match lap is the chairman of the American conservative Union, but is also the cochair of Catholics for Trump is joining us today as represent the Trump campaign mats great to have him show door-to-door great honor to let me let me ask you first met this this idea of the of the 200th nominee confirmed by the U.S. Senate 200 federal judge nominated by the present article 3 of the Constitution. This is a huge deal toward getting it out. Judges determine more and more of our future as liberal judges do their job to be the chairman of the Ways and Means committee of the Appropriations Committee. If they act more more like legislators pushing all of its radical personal agenda. The fact that Donald started countering that initial, countering that with people who simply believe in the Constitution, their young men and women who were to be on the bench for a long time and that this is what if I did it's on the federal bench and that bounce up and ready for a fight.

This is not an and that I think people have got to kind of take it.

Maybe it might take a couple times here right now because of all the other news we get inundated with and they have to realize this is they are starting the campaign process throughout the summer and you get into Midsummer the labor data really really kicks off where you know they talk to their neighbors not just about coping. News was beyond I mean is Beyonc� and and did this news to me is very important as people actually decide who they're going to vote for. Yeah, I think the court where Republicans tend to only get better 50% reliable and you know I that night and loved everything your course which is done, but on the wide set of issues.

The Trump Justices on the Supreme Court are part of a new approach, starting with digestibility and just excuse me Alito becomes Toledo.

Remember yes Justice Alito in just tectonic unity really stand out for the Constitution. Here's an interesting turn. You know that basically conservatives coming to government and they know that they are bound by the law and the Constitution, and the fact that most think should be set decided by individuals in their homes and government questions should mostly be decided in state capitals and not in Congress with the socialist believe it and it no local cops, federal cops, no local anything national everything and we can see with healthcare and everything else that is a recipe for disaster.

In America, and a lot of misery. Ask God to send it to Washington DC to give? Yes or Matt did have you with us. I just think it's interesting on this issue that there this is one issue that both campaigns will really start with the same response will start by telling you that the federal judiciary is the place where an elected President can have the greatest legacy. So I think if we had someone on a from the competing side they would say the exact same thing you just did. This is one of the most important issues on the ballot of of course the difference is what exactly that legacy will be so can you speak just a minute to the difference in the legacy that would it would exist if if you had a President Trump nominating judges or if you had President by nominating judges element first thing is think about this for many Democrats are patent out hundred percent of their nominees to the court never waver on any question they are like pieces of kindling being wrapped inclined, they stick together every time.

Why did they get 100% of errors. I think it's because they are picking people that have a very radical view of what society should integrate and they will use any power to get there. Joe Biden who came to the United States Senate in its first year, the Senate voted to rescind Roby weight has come so far has moved so far to the left become so radical.

Expect the most unconstitutionally oriented justices of the Supreme Court that we've ever seen in the history of our country. If you went I met with Matt just keen on this, but this is a way for everybody to understand is at the left and the liberal judges there coming in, and whether the justice is a core Court of Appeals in the nominees is extremely partisan how they vote, they will come up with the reasoning of how to get to where they want to go and wears conservative nominees. I have a philosophy that they start with and you can take philosophies and get to a different point you cam you can actually now on some issues. These kind of issues that we see the new a lot of the cases, even this report don't make fugitives, but they all are impactful as we said, if only 99.9, arguing that if Court of Appeals level.

Think about that Supreme Court and Ed Matt and I always say elections have counselors. This is one of the issues where they have the most consequences because whoever is elected the next Pres.

I think we either see the Supreme Court turn right and more conservative or it's going to go exec Bright back to where it was with a couple more nominees.

The other way one hears only one present at the President more times than that of my lifetime. We have never ever had a reliable conservative majority on the court because our batting average of previous Presidents for that $500,000 front only cares about the outcomes he wants to pick people that will fall the Constitution and make sure you can't legislate. He's good at bat espousing on doing that like that that I have been happy with absolutely everything they've done on the big questions they been sticking together and the keys just judges that he selected our rock solid.

I will say one thing you can get two or three picnic. He went to get etiquette going on with the progress through three more pics verdict at this majority and I should pick people who will no matter what the Washington Times says the New Yorker. She's got bloodlust in cancer lot near Confed that they will do the right thing without the Constitution we said it was America versus social feedback this year.

I'm sorry that we were so accurate that is exactly what happening in our country. It's amazing that that issue to the idea that were debating socialism's policies our country's match lab chair for the ACU cochair. Catholics are trouble you say about the Trump campaign that always great to have anything to be with us folks will take your phone calls at 1-800-684-3110. The ramifications of these judicial and what will be what will happen. These next few years denies again there's going to be vacancies of the US report which way with the court until 1-800-684-3110 only one. A society can agree that the most vulnerable invoice is, is there any hope for that culture to survive. And that's exactly what you are saying when you stand with the American Center for Law and Justice, defendant the right to life, we've created a free and powerful publication offering a panoramic view of the ACLJ's battle for the unborn Gold edition will show you how you are personally publication includes all major ACLJ were fighting for the rights of pro-life activist ramifications of Roe V Wade, 40 years later Planned Parenthood's role in the what Obama care means to discover the many ways your membership is empowering the right question for mission life today online ACLJ/challenges facing Americans for substantial time and are now free to soar.

Constitutional rights are under attack more important than ever to stay with the American Center for Law and Justice on the frontlines protecting your freedoms defending your rights and courts in Congress to get in the public arena and we have an exceptional track record of success.

The American Center for Law and Justice is on your side, you're already a member. Thank you for your thoughts.

Well, this is the perfect time to stand with us ACLJ God where you can learn more about her life changing become a member today ACLJ Jay Sekulow live you, we have launched a brand-new initiative at the Mercer flow just as the school choice initiative. You're just talking to match lab about judicial nominees. The importance of these federal court nominees a river. This is an issue school choice that often gets litigated often whether it's because money is going to a religious school that's were parents of children to their child or just think the idea of public-school private school could the dollars be used, how can they be utilized often litigated almost always litigated.

So if you're going to expand school choice.

Why think it's the American Center for Law and Justice involves a legal organization because you have to be ready for the legal battle that comes with it. So you think it's important. Who's there with what judicial philosophy because as I said is match flapper style that that those on the left. They know where they want to go they think their conclusion they've Artie think that you can already decide whether to be for you to have any argument for you father debriefing. If an issue got to them. You. You could literally say they will be here and they will just come up with a reason to get there wears conservatives start with a philosophy.

What does that philosophy include sometimes include stakes for some of them that they would even agree with but that they would say said about what I agree with right it's that it's that what is the correct interpretation of the constitutional authorities here, the powers that are here. What's big challenge here, so this school choice issue is one that if were going to expand it that reads the legal counsel to expand what you check out the spread of video were debuting at Hero Jay Sekulow live if you're listening to hear the video you can check out later ACLJ.org it's our social media as well. She could share with your friends and family.

If you're watching right now, Facebook and periscope click that share but I want it's at. So this many people see this video is possible. There were about to premiere on the ACLJ's brand-new school choice initiative.

Check it out. We are very excited to announce a new ACLJ initiative, a new ACLJ program is what we worked on, years, decades ACLJ which is will choice cases in the Supreme Court very interested in creating a foundation of education for those folks in the middle income arena as well as Jim's living environment. Kids like myself perhaps live in the wrong ZIP Code going on forming schools when you have a situation where the worst among us cannot afford or do not have the opportunity to get the education is those living in ZIP Code that are more affluent that has got to change the time right early in the black community and the right to a solid and good education wanted to look at what ACLJ you really assist what we believe is most and by giving Karen. Karen the opportunity give their job all that every American parents have choice in education I think is a chance of success.

ACLJ with larger school choice initiative to ensure that every state the country allows parents to choose the school they believe the best education whether private religious charter school public school regardless of their standing reworking the federal level, state-level opportunity should be dictated by what Civil Code you live and sign the petition now in school choice, justice and equality of opportunity.

Every American child. Not now, when not out truth is how you respond to these moments like Mike George Ford situation would then cause a bigger national conversation, not just on police reform, which unfortunately totally do crash and burn the U.S. Senate and that was not because a republic is because Democrats did not want to have the debate. Anyone have a debate on on on those those issues but they look at the broader bigger picture.

It's how do you take that the civil rights issue and move from you know where you've as a country you been dealing with this since your founding and then the Civil War and then you had civil rights movement ability your hundred years hundred years hundred years and you move forward again and you've got your post civil rights over that is Kelly how to get that next step where you're almost like not even living in that moment anymore. It still historic. I'm not saying you should remember it, you should be glad about it and obviously we also learn about leaders like Martin Luther King's letter about Malcolm X. You should learn about who those individuals were that were leading the citizens at a war scanner it's important to note regardless of where you grew up in the country. It supported about the Civil War it supported.

Know your history and the history of America.

That being said, how you get there with education. It is not going to happen when you allow failing schools to continue to fail a lot of people millions of people because of what ZIP Code they have to be boarded set that kids decision where to be bored and those parents to get our face the toughest of what you take illicit a sitter tip Scott republic of South Carolina by seven challenge came down to a simple thing to me.

The Republican Party is the other party.

They wanted leading this debate. They believe that they have a chance of winning back the White House and therefore they will spend their time doing nothing until they went and stepping on a moment when America came together and we were literally everybody was agreed that things need to be done.

Police and police check they need to be changes with the police and their DC changes, even at the federal level on how local police department to operate. That is not something you usually get Republicans, Democrats to agree on yet they did a Democrats is considered. Scott said neither willing to go there and opened the door to a debate because they fear there might actually be legislation. This is really a pretty stark moment this week in Washington DC Jordan because both chambers the house and the Senate brought up bills to address equal justice, and by the way, just quickly I'll say is not enough to just be for equal justice. You're absolutely correct. You also have to be for equal opportunity, which is why the school choice issue dovetails here about luck if you look at the differences in the way these two chambers I carried these bills the house passed a bill without allowing a Republican amendment because there are different approaches to this.

We went down to the Senate for the bill brought forward by Sen. Scott which by the way Jordan was made up primarily of things that every Democrat in the United States Senate would say they were for, but yet were not willing to vote for.

But even that as it may, Sen. Scott went down and they said we want five amendments to change these five things he said done but will have those amendments and guess what I support. Several of those minutes will have those notes waste will see where they like Sen. Schumer, leader Schumer walked away from that deal Jordan so he said actually we need about 20 minutes. Sen. Scott said, done, let's puts 20 amendments on the floor of the Senate and Sen. Schumer said what leader McConnell won't won't let us leader McConnell went to the floor and said you can have them you can have the 20 amendment vote you wanted Jordan.

This was never about having that debate I it. It makes me very sad to say this, but there is no other explanation other than the one you just got from Sen. Scott Democrats in the United States Senate did not want to pass a bill under Pres. Trump that was bought brought forward by Republican Jordan. We've got to get around that if we can make progress on this issue in the moment Senate Democrats just aren't there yet and New York Post breaking news notification on my phone as we go to this at first break if you're taught us there.

1-800-684-3110 talk about judicial nominees type at the issue of school choice as breaking news, Minneapolis, city Council votes to abolish police force that is not to be a solution. This is a nationwide solution that's in a communitywide solution that's at a city wide is a statewide solution retweet, we have to have these reforms made. It's not know would say that there should be changes in reform but week. We cannot just say were to abolish the Police Department city Council resolution is that even happened. That's I don't know enough of the laws and Minnesota to know if that's just a protest vote that actually could do something like actually disbanded Police Department 164 31 should check out ACLJ.org that ACLJ.org check our brand-new school choice.

The ship sure that the video for decades. ACLJ is been on the frontlines protecting your freedom is defending your rights in court in Congress and in the public arena. The American Center for Law and Justice is on your side. If 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 ACLJ live from Washington DC Jay Sekulow and secular. So get folks back Jay Sekulow life is her second half hour got a special guest to come sit with broadcast and it it's it's good be great as well. Michael Sweet will be joining us a new striper song were debuting here on Jay Sekulow lives you want to check that out simple, you simply leak today on the on the broadcasted and I think at the time. Would everybody like susceptible unique little different. Honestly, 100-684-3110 retirement judicial nominees. We have these questions to thing on Facebook that Heather said his question. Are there other judicial vacancies to fill Dallas those vacancies are to come about the vacancies of the Court of Appeals in the in the Boston Will Be Because H Sub Will Be Because of Retirement. Now You Don't See A Lot Happened Right before Elections and That's Because the Incoming President Will Get to Decide Who Feels That Spot at the Court Of Appeals Level That That That Does Cover to Play with These These Nominees.

Of Course You Absolutely Jordan. We Talk A Lot about the Supreme Court in the Circuit Court Of Appeals, but There Have Already Been Hundred and 43 Judges Confirmed for That the Level beneath That Which Is the District Court Level and There Are Still Some Pending Vacancies for That Level. In Fact, the President Has Already Nominated 43 District Judges That Have Not yet Been Confirmed by the United States Senate. There Are 32 of Them That Are Still Awaiting Consideration from the Judiciary Committee. There Are 11 That Are Waiting a Vote on the Senate Floor and Jordan This Really Goes to the Point That You Made Earlier in the Broadcast That the Times in Washington DC That We Live on. Make This Number of 200 Confirmations Even More Remarkable Because I Can Tell You Right Now.

Of Those 43 Judges That Are Pending Are Probably All of Them Has the Support of the United States Senate and yet Senate Democrats Are to Make Most of Then Clear to Votes There to Make Him Clear a Cloture Vote in a Final Passage Vote Because the Whole Goal Is to Run Is Not Senate Floor Time As Possible to Keep Them from Being a Confirmed Select the Short Answer Is That There Are Still Vacancies the White House Is Continuing to Nominate the Judiciary Committee and Leader McConnell Are Continuing to Process, but I Come Back to That Circuit Court Of Appeals Number Jordan. If You Had Told Me Even Just A Few Months Ago, but Certainly at the Beginning of the Trunk Presidency That There Would Be 53 Circuit Ct. judges confirmed and that there would not be a single circuit court vacancy across the United States of America.

I would've told you you're full of it yet 90 nights it's it's it's a get. It's unbelievable accomplish.

I would take Timothy's call Missouri on line 1 Timothy thinks her hold on the hold on your on the air. Maybe they have the wrong idea: but most of the liberals are the most to be the one who can decide the mentality of business idea we've kind of. It's been a self-fulfilling prophecy.

The courts became politicized that it's a political process. Our founding fathers made a political process. They said all these federal courts and how the Congress decide to turf personal.

Congress has the power to set up the inferior courts and in so and so, the Supreme Court is only one listed in the Constitution and that you will see that I get so they made this a very political decision.

Why, because the same time they said that the judges nominees should have lifetime appointments so that's not all about the politics of the day, but the problems of the day does influence it.

And so I did what happened is the pickle as the courts gained power and significance which Happened as our country developed as a nation so there was kind of a history of jurisprudence that these courts these nominees started to reflect more of the immediate doubt they also I think about what happened to Justice Thomas by the way they had to Joe Biden.

Let's all River that the believer, but neither he, which Joe Biden was the chairman of the judiciary committee during those hearings, and for a lot of us. You might remember that because the first time to to get to see how partisan those nominate nations got the truth is folks sub could point to that is the beginning of a total change in how the nominating process will work forever and I would say Republicans have ever been that nasty have never, never, never try to torpedo nominees like that vote for one because of full philosophical differences. Then I go over the personal tax to different on the left different with their nominees as well differ every year everybody gets treated differently so loose there's different judicial philosophies. I do think some of itself that would prompt others because were all paying a lot closer to the challenges facing Americans or substantial time with our Valley freedom sword constitutional rights are under attack more important than ever to stay with the American Center for Law and Justice ACLJ 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 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. Thank you for your thoughts. Well, this is the perfect time to stand with us ACLJ.where you can learn more about her life changing, member today ACLJ only one. A society can agree that the most vulnerable voice. Is there any hope for that culture to survive.

And that's exactly what you are saying when you stay in the American Center for Law and Justice defend the rights of life, we've created a free powerful publication offering a panoramic view of the ACLJ's battle for the unborn is called 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 there what Obama care means to discover the many ways your membership is empowering the right question for mission in life today online/Jay Sekulow this Jordan secular take your phone calls 100-684-3110 vibrator school choice initiative at the ACLJ time at the importance of the judicial nominees. What would it be like when you got the the Joe Biden say he would mandate mandate mass page you think that possibly be litigated potentially these are the kind of issues you where you have to balance out and get if you get to look at all this to the 10th amendment, the police power goes to the states that has been interpreted by the court even more liberal justices of kind of realize that that states have the power really to decide, and in the states may have decided to pay what state you live in you as you see some of these things with the mask issue arises. No say on the does well in Florida they can do this because you gotta have the, the governor has to do it now in another state, you might go to and you might say. Okay now traveled through through one of the states get is to borders for Saddam in Alabama but maybe there that the city council could do everything the mayor could do it there but not but not in, but it gets to the sea and the mayors don't have that authority again. So you go back there to get a lot a lot of issues that arises from a statement like that just from a statement like that huge issues of that just isn't the right policy. That's not really the question is, is it constitutional is that were the authority lies. If you go back and see what's been delegated to what executive powers there is it more of a suggestion strike to be a strong suggestion can be a suggestion tied to funding potentially different aspects Savior for him to do this you gotta do this that's that's different than just say you must do this so I can those of this kind of philosophical issues. I want to talk about school choice as well. A Phillips called from California online to fill a bucket of Jay Sekulow live call. Thanks.

I was wondering if you're putting together that include family better and then to the vendor that they go to some of our video and we have not gone point by point. Yet through each kind of school and how you could find it, but I we specifically mention homeschooling and so absolutely if those resources could be utilized stand by those parents to homeschool. We absolutely support that decision and that will also be potentially many legal battles because a lot of states make it nearly impossible to do. Yeah, absolutely. The bottom-line goal here Jordan is to get as many do these decisions as possible into the hands of the parents of the students rather than being controlled by the school district or even more by the federal government or because we still have a lot of decisions being made by the federal government. I would just say to the caller. One of the things that I am the most interested in is seeing if we can pass something on the federal level that would loosen the restrictions on federal dollars that currently flow to the states right now there's about $68 billion that comes from the federal government to support the education system in Jordan 23 million of those dollars are what are called title I dollars that are really intended to try to address this problem help children that are in low income areas and failing schools Jordan.

What if we took off some of the restrictions from those federal government dollars and said if the state has come up with the way to give parents more choice and that would include the right to homeschool. Maybe it's a voucher made to be. Maybe it's a tax incentive they can take their portion of those federal dollars and make it help address that strategy that they have chosen on a state level Jordan were not trying to add more strings to this were trying to take federal strings off and were trying to take a strings off on the local level as well. We think the parent of that child if they think that homeschooling is the best option for them. We want them to have the ability to do that.

But right now, in many situations they don't have the resources because the dollars they come from Washington DC during they come with a lot of requirements that we don't think should be there. I was go to George's called Marilyn online what George takes her because of Jay Sekulow live your on the air and want to thank you all for everything you do the everyday and what the program is, but it's possible. Thank you. George my question if you called a nuclear to pay for bail like the play performed daily. Get a vote on the Alexander Scott Skype say this is I we see this to come up there for the Facebook chat. People say their use of the subsidy for judicial nominees.

Why not on on these legislative SMEs, legislative parties now I know we go through a lot of reasons that the houses is out of control, but it's close. Right now, but if you took that out of it. Can they utilize that back that that method. Yeah, I mean the truth is they could if they wanted to article 1, section 5 gives them the ability to change the rule. This would probably have to be a change to rule 22 that would happen. Jordan I'll just answer the question to George. This way they don't have the votes to do it. Yeah, there are 53 Republican senators. There are not 51 votes in favor of going nuclear on legislation and I think there are strong arguments on both sides of that issue but it just it's a political question, Jordan, and there aren't 51 votes in the United States Senate, to make that change. At this point I remember to that legislation, they go through a scanner have to go through the end I think one of the reason may not be those votes to to take that change on legislation that has been changed on nominees. Remember, that was changed by the Democrats and Harry Reid took hits it will bubble up to the Supreme Court so all the publicans and stimulus. If you do this for every other nominee were to go for this one and recommend a block of if we got up a majority and remember sinners. Scott's legislation would pass on the for the legislative vote you got through this hurdle that it would've passed. It had the votes to pass.

And what about a conference that with the house who had a very different bill and they would had to negotiate you and and I think that really illustrates the fallacy of what leader Schumer was off after he wanted control of the Senate floor Jordan because look, if you wanted to get a package into law that look like the house bill the way he would have done that would have been to vote for the motion to proceed, which was devoted failed and then get on the bill debate the amendments and if you didn't get the changes he liked he could vote against the Senate bill, and if the Senate bill were passed out, it would go to that conference committee with the house bill, the Speaker Pelosi drafted and they would try to work out a compromise that could pass the Senate Jordan it if leader Schumer or at least enough members of the Democrat party in the Senate were not satisfied with that.

Where that compromise landed of the bill would not have become law. So when you cannot drill down on those layers, it really becomes very clear that what shoot leader Schumer was after was what Sen. Scott said he was after. Yes, he wants to pass a police reform bill but it's not so much about differences about what's in the two bills. He wants to pass a police reform bill when a Democrat can bring it forward and a Democrat from the White House can sign it. I just don't think there's another another explanation torn because there was a mechanism to get what leader Schumer said he wanted. They seem to be to what I look at all these reforms in which all these changes to it that we do talk bigger forms if we talk bigger forms even at the state level like our school choice initiative to I want to encourage people check out NACLJaeger we have a lot of resources were starting to post World War I have draft legislation.

But this week were charges have the conversation with folks pieces information you can share at a time so that people can kinda understand understand the full scope of this issue within all of these issues in these reforms even get challenge in court say that there is right to challenge the court but that's realistic is to prepare that this legend, whatever it does pass if this is expanded it will be challenged and and and so yes, these court decisions in these elections and they become federal court issues because Ewald had a constitutional issues almost of the most high profile and of the most basic and they become the kind issues that people seize upon you. I think one of the reasons that we thought it was time to really engage this issue in a full-court way. Jordan is there going to be two areas where the it's can be very close as can be very heated debate and it's gonna take a lot of political pressure to get them through the first is through Congress amended the Senate only has 53 Republicans in a Senate Democrats are pretty entrenched on this right now.

Quite frankly, there are some votes on the Republican side of the conference other than to be difficult to get on this so there's going to need to be a public advocacy pushed in both the House and the Senate to get him even over the line but then you're correct your naming every single one of these efforts, including the one I just talked about. If you want to reallocate federal dollars to make sure that it actually belongs to the student as opposed to the school district that's getting it challenged across America and if you look at the breakdown of these courts even as we talked about this big judicial success. Jordan look at the three circuits that have actually switch control from a controlled by judges not nominated by Democrat President to control by a judge is nominated by Republican President Jordan that the set of the second Circuit Court. Currently that divide is one judge. The third Circuit Court that divide is to judges the 11th Circuit Court that divide is three judges Jordan that that balance.

It's so delicate and it's so close. If a Democrat were to be nominating the next round. Each of those three circuits would probably be lost in the first six months of the next right presidency folks who this is I get these exact huge issues. Our talking judicial confirmation were talk about school choice initiatives and in a broad sense were supporting enumerator get specific as as we brought out our school choice initiative and got get more specific as we go. You have this conversation with folks can walk through answer the questions along the way.

This is something new for a lot of states half of the country has none of this done. None of this is available so for some of you in your state. This is a totally foreign concept that you may have heard the idea before that there should be school choice and it kinda stops there. You will choice K-12. What is that Lee was it be that private choice between private, public, religious, unaffiliated with any kind of religious faith or homeschooling. Utilizing these funds musters the voucher tax savings account or tax credit. All of those different issues that had to be address if you could look at it and say let's take that this approach say we support all those different issues. I think you probably have to have bouncers to have actual real school choice that that's how those of the most the toughest ZIP Codes the most of failing schools have real school choices by getting out in front of the issuing of the problem, I will become back to Michael Sweet striper waited Friday.

We are joined by our buddy from the reprogram but also lead singer of the band striper Christian metal legends and they have a brand-new record coming out even the devil believes September 4 single, never in play here. Just a little bit of blood from above, but welcome. Michael works out. Have you back on. It's great. It's great to have Michael let me ask you first because you produce the new album.

Even the devil believes while we bid this court hereby bid this pandemic tell people about that process while you work out that way we process the guy my house very and you know while they were actually start hearing a lot more about you now the virus spreading and one that we are keeping tabs on it and worked out timing wise to deal with it.

Michael have heard the first single people. The radio get to review it and it's really great is not just like classic striper, which I love, but also there's some really cool kind of gun metal influences.

I feel at new not new but newer styles of metal in it.

I really love it and when I do love about this is that it is still unabashedly unashamed, lyrically you know it's a Christian rock song yeah very bold powerful message and I think that you know it the message that the little needs to listen to you right now and that's what Kenneth Davison keep us keep us you know strong people whatever reason seem to come here. There barracks on God during the speaking it's got that classic town but we'll especially need is a producer and writer try to incorporate a little bit of a modern twist to it and merge the two together, but not so much so that we lose sight of who we are and where we come from, it's important to retain the classic striper sound classic striper sound but I do love the way it flows Michael what is this look like for you guys as I saw striper multiple times. As recently as maybe a year ago as a band that relies heavily special bands right now rely heavily on touring how important is I guess to put out new material to keep people engaged as obsolete tours are right now just starting to see the concept of concert starting to come back and that still very very early stages that saying that you know that you don't hold back the importance of new music because it stands only hear new music and actually trail but I think it's very important because it keeps you created as an artist and go straight there anyway material more so than the old material like Yahweh. And hopefully you're about to play blood from Don will be a prime example of that that sometimes the older Psalms. Actually we should get to that song during the students of this is striper for Michael Sweet.
