Jay Sekulow conservatives in Hollywood.

Our special guest director Daniel Moscow in an update from the trunk campaign today. Jay Sekulow 15 Washington DC lines are open for your questions right now.

1-800-684-3110 one 800-6841 and now your holes secular Jay Sekulow wives Jordan secular encourager. We are alive hundred 64, 31 to if you want to know what it's like to be a in Hollywood as a Christian as a director, directing movies, directing specials for television places like Amazon, iTunes in the theaters we got Daniel Lesko with us. Daniel has been making movies and television programs for many years now, you might know some of them because either.

Maybe your church maybe you saw them on your own. I would actually appeared briefly one called persecuted which interestingly enough is worth going back and watching again. Now, because it really relates to what we been talking about with the shutting down of churches and the idea in California that even if your church can open if you're in one of those counties that hasn't been totally shut down like 80% of the state has that if you are in one of those counties in your church can open you can't sing merely said you must not sing so we Daniel. I go back actually to 2014 and Daniel. It's great to have you on Jay Sekulow live, and I know people don't have questions for you to about what it's like out there that world. Let me first talk to you about the new movie I've watched it twice I watched again last night, before you're on a today it's called top gutter it's available on iTunes and it's about recent graduates of secluded US Air Force base so you gotta get we got the logo up for people on Facebook and periscope really show some of the clips from the movie to see if you're watching on Facebook and periscope you'll see it. If you're listening on radio you'll hear it even by hearing it you want to go get this out on iTunes and watch it today, especially as people have the stay-at-home orders and quarantines, but it's about this recent graduates of a secluded US Air Force base that have to protect interesting times two with a pandemic. A gene editing bio weapon from the Russian military desperate to seize this deadly viral agent at any cost. It's a patriotic movie and Daniel. I would ask you first because I know a lot of our listeners want to know this. What age group like they got children what age group you think this started being appropriate for major mean it… And ended and handing the language, but it overall at the family-friendly movie, particularly teenagers.

A good place to start. So I asked you first. You've got to know each other back in 2014 you are promoting your film persecuted it was in theaters this is about. Again, I was story that relates to what's happening now I a Christian pastor targeted a because he was powerful message that was opposed by the government. I made a brief appearance actually is a reporter feel that in Washington DC and outside the US capital were in a play there for people. A later on in the broadcaster, so they they know what it's legit because this back about six years ago and and we we we met though. Actually when we did a a screening at the US Capitol tell people about that the market and often partnering with ATL data work together doing so incredible, and it was amazing to team up with you guys feel it take persecuted the US capital. It was surreal for me standing in front of the national prayer caucus, the Congress of the United States to play this movie and out for religious freedom because that's really what persecuted comes down to a man handing out for religious freedom and on the with Pender Fred Thompson. There we had a bunch of other great folks and and to get to hear that was really special. I really enjoyed it. Folks, we come back we'll talk more with Daniel Moore from top gutter as well and what about you what he's got A teacher calls you have question on what it's like to work in this world produce these type programs and movies at this high level in Hollywood.

When you know this is kind of opposition to our faith and our patriotism. Give us a call. 164 3110 will give you another update on Hagia Sophia as well. The American Center for Law and Justice were engaged in critical issues at home and abroad. Whether it's defending religious freedom. Protecting those who are persecuted for their faith. Uncovering corruption in the Washington bureaucracy and fighting to protect life in the courts and in Congress. ACLJ would not be able to do any of this without your support for that.

We are grateful. Now there's an opportunity for you to help me way limited time you can participate in the ACLJ's matching challenge every dollar you donate $10 gift dollar gift becomes 100. This is a critical time for the ACLJ.

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 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 support the publication includes a look at all major ACLJ pro-life Jesus were fighting for the rights of pro-life activist the ramifications of Roe V Wade, 40 years later Planned Parenthood's role in the abortion industry and what Obama care means to the pro-life discover the many ways your membership is empowering the right to life question free copy of mission in life today online ACLJ/yes, it is my birthday. Thank you radio team for remembering that because these days X remembering dates feeling like I could look at is my birthday here is that how old my because these last months with over 19 let's all be honest, I have kind of molded together into one long period of time sometimes feels like one long variable one long day or or week or month and we went somehow from it being you know where I am to below freezing 200° and will it still be like this when it gets back on the freezing we don't know.

We hope not, but we are going to member later in the broadcast second half hour to have a live update from the trunk campaign. The shirt Mercedes slap. She's a Trump 2020 Senior advisor for strategic communications. You can be talking about Joe Biden's economic speech. It also is moved to defund the police so you don't miss that live in the second half hour, but we are drawing right now by Daniel Lesko. He is the director of top gutter brand-new movie out you can get it on iTunes. I encourage you watch it today. Tell your friends about it, share this broadcast right now. If you watch on Facebook and periscope and again top gutter easy to find on iTunes and in Daniel before get toward the questions about it. If people like going to Google and put in top gutter will what will he find it on iTunes that way to find out. I think by googling pop diner but knowing your Apple iPad in a quicker way to do that but yet there are several ways to get it but I definitely encourage I can and putting through Google you're right probably way are you going to force if you're familiar with. I to just go right to that folks and I know most of you aren't were taken from closet 100-684-3110 let's play a clip from the movie before its next question I guy since lets us play so people can hear most audience of course is listening on radio, but we got thousands watching. Also on Facebook and periscope so people to hear it.

And then of course if you're hearing it right now.

I think you get to be encouraged one and Ed to go and watch this out later on today or this week top gutter. Then I get a dog fight scene from top gutter and if you just were watching that you saw how awesome it was. If you're hearing it. You saw how incredible why you want to watch this on to Daniel, you don't. You made the film top gutter people. Of course, ask right away. Is this a copy atop God and and we know there's another hilltop into his coming out now this is a copy I and I get up a lot and I totally relate to the question, it it it playing off the title.

But what is the day with the studio found actually I met Tony Scott White, who made the original popgun at the DDA award and I'm such a big fan of the original film, and I really remember.

You know Tony Scott making it different than what the studio effect.

They took a total formula film and then he added his own. Think of it at the time you got fired from the duty of II took a different perspective within yes at the studio film yes were the underdog know it's not a copy.

But what really intrigued me about the script that these are young, patriotic American in the Air Force standing up for freedom standing up for patriotism that Corky got Eric Roberts how can you go along with anything icon. He's amazing in the film. I liked it that these people are fighting for America and with much anti-American sentiment as there is in Hollywood with all the inundation of anti-America. I was refreshing to see a story patriotic and not what I wanted to make it I will tell you that's one of the biggest takeaways from it is that you know when Dana said for teenagers for for younger people. I think that's about right age wise get it's very appropriate for then I would say that that it's it's obviously a movie about conflict, the military, but the violence is done away where it's knocking to be too much for a young teenager at all and I'm being honest but that I watched it twice. I just like to be honest to you about that but but it's so patriotic and it said I think inspiring at a time when you don't get a lot of that now you might have in the 1980s and 90s movies like Top Gun with the Navy recruitment went up and also in the post 9/11 world. When recruitment went up there was that's that had a surge of patriotism, but we seem the opposite. Let's all be honest in the last few months we see the burning of the American flag loosing pasta defund the police and and die this idea of you putting on a uniform becoming dangerous, instead of something we all praise something we all see people as heroes who do that. I certainly do you what you got to work with an iconic actor in this everybody's gonna recognize him.

He's been Oscar nominee been so many movies Eric Roberts is in a place arose, that the elite leader of these group of cadets we got the follow-up of you with Eric Roberts for Facebook and periscope tell people about working with him and just. They aren't as familiar with him. If because they may be listing to this, he may not know the name about his career or 500 movie credit they need in the dark Knight. More recently, with Christian Bale and the Golden Globe nominee nominee just so charming. You got that boyish love for cinema like that made me want to make movies to work with Eric, Robert, and he walked immediately and he the easiest person to talk to be so approachable and he's very very funny.

Like top winter movie is not just a straightforward action movie Eric Roberts is always easy to pass a subtle sense of humor that is so just magnetic in the movie an athlete he is to work with any luck, beyond that come to set day onset get back to set any just want to hang out with the crew not hiding office trailer. He didn't want to be out there with you and that really made fun to make this movie. I think the hearing is that even though the underdog movie yes were not picked Tom Cruise movie we where the underdog but there's a love for movies that the crew or production designer Stacy Rick puts so much love and that we got the airport from three different airports gave us the airport to make this movie Albuquerque comport Santa Fe Airport Edgewood airport and then we got deep fighter jet and deep fighter jet pilot trainers who train Tom Cruise to do this movie for the people trained our pilot in the jet that are in the movie are all really been the one to go back to the original Top Gun trainers so we got some pretty interesting authenticity for a little movie that's very cool.

I get a phone call now for Daniel Sheila talk to Dale to about what it's like to do this, obviously, you gotta have the creative talent you have the ability to raise that the funds you get the distribution you gotta get the stories together. You gotta put the weight.

The people want to watch and he's been very successful in doing that.

Oh I will and did not want to talk to more about that I've done more than I would like a persecutor. We talked about top gutter which is the new movie we want people to go check out and watch on iTunes of top gutter. It's on iTunes now. Check it out's brand-new it's awesome let's go to.Donald's call from Virginia online. One Donald you're talking to Dana Lesko had a doubt a quick question for you. Maybe all my movies and Kristin managing the family while they all waited for milquetoast went Daniel I'm the reasons why you make these movies is this idea that you can be a person of faith. I persecutor was like that and you can be a fighter warrior and patriotic boy, and the way they are. You're right you're right about that. You know in this movie.

I think that's what we hope the young cadet that truly are usually right in movie.

You'll find out that that patriotic person did something horribly wrong or they may we fill out an 8 feet on someone so and they make the vehemently American man look like a weapon made. They've done away with the hero and that's what although were against Fiat and IMDb giving us the favoritism that we would want because they would love to see then be when an end and the American be. You know not not favorable.

And so that's what we're hoping to restore and you know you really are why I think because they they genuinely honestly want to get through it what America stands for.

We come back tomorrow.

Dana Lesko will play more from the movie top gutter what he's got coming up next. If you got questions for him. Give us a call one 800 684 31 two that's 1-800-684-3110 over to have that live update for Mercedes slap. She is with the Trump campaign on this move by Joe Biden pushing to D for the police.

Whether it's defending religious freedom. Protecting those faith covering corruption in the Washington bureaucracy fighting to protect life reports and in Congress. ACLJ would not be able to do any of this or that. We are grateful. Now there's an opportunity for you to help me for limited time you can participate in the ACLJ's matching challenge for every dollar you donate $10 gift comes 20 oh $50 gift becomes 100. This is time for the ACLJ.

The work we simply would not occur without your generous matching challenge make protecting the constitutional and religious freedoms you forgive today online okay Lesko his new movie top gutter.

Check it out on iTunes. I encourage I watch Weiss, my wife and I watched it twice and I enjoyed both times or what would watch again last night for Daniel on so that I was just as prepped and had exceeded one more time and also so I could tell you honestly that this is a movie you can watch with your young teenagers on up and feel comfortable doing so.

And it's patriotic pro-American. It's got a great inspirational message but it's also just a really awesome and and fun movie as well. An exciting movie.

Let me also just mentioned very briefly and go right back to Dennis George on his thankfully for the first full half hour of our live broadcast today, I encourage you to go to ACLJ.org.

Sign the petition to stop Turkey from turning the Hagia Sophia, which was a historic church then became was conquered by the Ottomans became a mosque and rightfully so, by Ataturk in 1935 was turned into a museum for all people of all faiths and now Turkey has moved to turn it back into a mosque sign our petition online@aclj.org. This is a major battle get into more later in the week is as well, but I would encourage I let you know I believe had the United States speak out the Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. We have had the UN UNESCO. We have had the European Union, the UK, the Russian Federation, the Russian Orthodox Church, the Greek Orthodox Church and now get this. The United Arab, a predominantly Muslim country by country rod under Islamic law is as opposed to what Turkey and Juan is doing with Hagia Sophia and trying to turn it back into a mosque. So is a group we don't agree with much either week but you know this is what I think we can all come together. The Islamic Society of North America just announced their opposition to Turkey by taking this action to turn Hagia Sophia into a mosque and here's why. They know how dangerous and bad.

This is for relations that are already strained between Christians and Muslims, primarily, and that this was a place where Christians and Muslims could visit together and see a holy site together that they both shared and it was kind a place to come together in peace to turn it back into a symbol of being conquered is not good. So were starting to seep majority Muslim Islamic law governed monarchies type countries like the United Arab Emirates and groups like the Islamic Society of North America come out and oppose what Turkey is doing now. Hamas and others. They of course support what Turkey is doing. I think that tells you a lot. Let's go right back to Daniel. Daniel, I want to take Debbie's call on line one from Illinois I were talking to Dana Lesko, director, producer of the new movie top gutter Debbie, welcome to Jay Sekulow live your talking to Daniel where service became very patriotic.

Delete. We learned when top one came out and it was very greatly create mental health patriotism happy company bringing out a moving about patriotism because companies learning point in time and nobody's ever been to another country day people they don't know what freedom is freedom. They don't understand anything other than freedom and what they are, what we are losing now you bring up an interesting point.

Debbie and Daniel.

I responded Debbie but you talked about this. We talked about this before, that this gathers all these options and Debbie's thank you so much for your husband service for entertainment, but what makes top gutter worth anyone's time you like.

Much of the go watch and I think Debbie hit on it with the freedom and we had a veteran screenwriter from the military. When multiple advisors from the military, including the airport are doing everything we could to employ veteran and a course we wanted to be a recruitment tool defendant for America because of the poet Jordan freedom is an idea like this movie and if we don't want to, we won't have it in the prominent people want to take as much attention away from freedom here in America we don't know what it is and I think that's what it is for me if that is there so much anti-American sentiment in Hollywood that promoted out there and you know what's funny to me that freedom. The very freedom Hollywood used it to trample is the very thing, enabling them to trample it and not the ironic part about it for this movie will make it worth standing up for trade American cadet in an honorable life standing up for freedom and even a movie is the underdog sure it's not the big one getting behind in my opinion take another if you're watching you to see this another clip from the movie, but this is a great one. If you're also as most people are listening on radio Sirius XM I this is more of a dialogue scene from top gutter. Check it out. Models present workability. The best one into a structural dancer in America scheduled, much less inject repairs within a capability on confirmation of the enemy are SU seven respectively. Right now it's awesome again that's more that was more from top gutter is available now on iTunes were talking to the director, producer Dana Lesko that a lot of other projects and I Daniel hold John as well to the next half hour. The broadcasters I will let you talk about what you have coming up next as well, and remind people just how far back we go will play the clip from that I did for you for persecuted because I think that movie also is very timely right now let me ask you this though offer people some people who I only get the first half-hour of the broadcast on the radio station. Why should people see this movie and how can people see the movie and connect with you what you value your freedom and idea father is written in the Declaration of Independence that it is it be an idea at that time when they wrote it. They didn't have freedom of right now our freedom is being threatened in this movie is one of the most powerful way. Then a lot and I'll admit little content online that is anti-American, if for no other reason.

Even if you not a movie water were putting a few dollars into I can correct this movie and you can connect with me on Instagram.

It Daniel left out or you can go to Facebook at Daniel a fan page just to encourage people again. The movie is top gutter Daniel is it is going to be with us and we come back from this break for the second half hour roster that I have live update from Mercedes Mercedes slap from the trunk campaign.

We are talking to Dana Lesko's address registered a few minutes then Mercedes slap from the trunk campaign.

So if you got questions about the campaign, specifically things are heating up here right now, Joe Biden, the Democrats would been having their convention right now think about that a bit of very different time. Robin focusing on a Democrat National convention that would been going on as we speak, of course, things have changed so you got questions for the trunk campaign.

If those are not 100-684-3110 Daniel we go back.

As we said a long time before top gutter for on the air today. Back in 2014 with the movie persecuted, which I also encourage people to check out and I just want to prove it to everybody listening and watching. Yes I Daniel was was a gracious enough and his team was patient enough to let me play a small role in the movie as a news reporter so scattered in my wheelhouse to check it out for those watching and listening. I just need Yahweh's appointment today from persecuted a pastor on the rod falsely accused, which is important I think for everyone to understand there there was a longer part of my scene as Marty was putting all these clips together as well.

I'm excited about the prospect of having you be a part of that really excited to be involved with the church in Albuquerque pastor Aaron Geisler, our pastor doing a phenomenal job navigating that were were anything a lot of challenges and we appreciate ACLJ standing up for the church here in America.

Great great media and an Amazon prime that wanted to be a lot of fun getting started with that now that it's great movies like Top Gun of the patriotic movies which is something we need right now is a country and something I think is great for teenagers and for all of us to see something sexy pro-American and not anti-American coming out of the movie world top gutter again go to iTunes and then the new project he didn't work out for Amazon prime faith of the church which, yes, I might be working on as well, which again will see if I can.

She is a Trump 2020 senior advisor for strict strategic communication.

She was previously in the Trump White House. As a senior advisor as well.

Mercedes great to have you on the neon.

Let me ask you first.

Just a generally for people listening this broadcast mostly conservatives out there a lot of Trump supporters there hearing a lot of negatives in the media about the Trump campaign telling the truth about what's going on as you travel the country dumping campaign and I worked on several Presidential campaign. This campaign in day well oiled machine 80 is investing in the keep defending our state that we went 2016 and standing and to state that we want to win anything like Minnesota and New Hampshire which we know we had a very close margin last time and I gotta tell you, I mean, under the leadership abroad per scale. We have a strong vision of where we need to go and how working away and it's can it be focusing on ensuring that people understand the devastating job killing record of Joe Biden how he is more focused on a globalist approach to our economy and how he's for example introducing today the clean energy initiative which would pretty much going to eliminating 100% of all of our fossil fuel usage in the US. That means killing thousands and thousands of jobs assessing key states like Pennsylvania, Texas, Ohio and and we working to make sure that people really understand the President Trump had accomplished more in the 3 1/2 years and Joe Biden had ever done in his four decades as a career politician Mercedes Mercedes slap. She's a Trump 2020 senior advisor for strategic communications communications expert as she said she worked on number presence of campaigns ever done before. To choose a senior advisor at the White House as well to present Trump and if you got questions, 100-684-3110 kids were talking politics directly right now but you been traveling the country and in talking actual voters you been to a lot of women for trumpet tell people about that as well because I think it's something that probably there's so much going on the road right now but tell people about that effort. We were last week with Don.

We are big women for Trump lawn with Katrina. Pam binding and pending, and we got to meet. For example, with women who are small business owners who received the help of the PPP. The paycheck protection program that literally saved their businesses. Thanks to the leadership of the President and we also met with just women in general and terms of talking about the dangers of defining the police said that really where the Kratz agenda is right now which is shifting resources is Joe Biden have said from our Police Department that we know that that has a tremendous impact on our community that actually have even more of an impact on Latino and black communities that need to community policing in order for us to to be able to ensure the safety of these communities and so the Democrats spent a lot of time any Democrat rhymed cities like New York and Chicago, and what we have seen is an increase in violence in the 30s and the President has made it very clear that what I was just with them. Not long ago when he made that I am the President of law and order, and that is my priority so I think it was really a wonderful experience to be able to meet these great strong women in Wisconsin and we went to a dairy farm and we talked about the benefits that they have experience in terms of US MCA and what that meant for the state of Wisconsin in bringing jobs back to Wisconsin and neither women. Many of these women are also the great volunteers were spending their days knocking on doors, making phone calls on behalf of the President and where you pending our message to them saying that we stand with you. We thank you for the great efforts are doing for the President to keep talking about the President's great accomplishments, and also talking about Joe Biden's week record by the minute.

But if people want to get involved in all always know this broadcast with a lot of nonprofit stations. We always invite the Biden campaign. They got a sense of equal status to Mercedes if they want to talk about defunding the police would be happy to have someone from the Biden campaigner Joe Biden cell phone to talk about why he wants to defund the police, but I always will let people know we make that offer. We can't force him to come on we always give them the opportunity to do so and I just want make that clear for everybody listening right now. You brought up the idea to of of economics obviously were in this time of that, coming out of pandemic and states are taking different roles but to me it just seems really scary Mercedes to have someone like Joe Biden wants to raise everybody's taxes. The people who are pet who are keeping people on payrolls right now. He likes to call the rich. I called the people who are keeping people paid right now even while many businesses are shut down and he wants to raise those taxes right away, even before we have recovered while why we seem great gains. Unbelievable gains considered what the country is facing because what China did what I what this virus is causing lots. It scares me to have Joe Biden charge of our economy. And I think it should scare a lot of folks around the country as well bring up a great point. I think there's a major turn about Joe Biden vision for America not include that we hear that Joe Biden had to embrace the left in every single policy area is only way that he feels that he can court the last without having to be criticized by that line he stands with AOC on the green you deal it, why he's now talking about $2 trillion spending plan make it very clear the spending plan will include type tax hike for clinical clear energy also aligned himself with Bernie Sanders on the unity agenda and if you read that you and the Gary it's all about abolishing… Reprint repatriation about basically rejoining the Paris climate accord. It's about free healthcare for illegal aliens expanding welfare for new immigrants ending school choice. The list goes on and on. And of course you know their radical stance on abortion where they believe that taxpayer funding should go to abortion as well assign gender reassignment surgery. I mean it just shows how out of touch and how extreme this party has become and Joe Biden might be the face of this party, but let me tell you something.

It's the squad and the far left in the socialists where the heart of the pot party and he has to represent all of that is letting them speak for mother, it's Bernie Sanders and these other far left activists.

We don't know who is VP nominee will be one as if this was a normal time because of the Democratic convention would've been going on. Let me let me ask you about religious liberty as well because I know that's that's near and dear to your heart.

Just like the life issue is near and dear to your heart and receive this around the country right now where obviously states churches are due trying to deal with rules, but we even saw in California. This is before California Mercedes put out there that they basically shut down everything in 80% of the state were still actually looking filing a lawsuit in part of the state church that's in part of the state that has not been shown affected that way yet and yet California even for those churches that are allowed to operate limited capacity you wanted has a mandate right now it says they must band singing and chanting, which affects almost all religious groups that were still sing this attack on religious liberty in 2020 in America right now grateful what they're doing. I mean we were at church this past weekend out in Berryville Virginia and tell you I know what you're saying out there, but he ministered these pastors, these pre-awakening happening realized that that there is that the Democrat government. The Democrats were in charge of the state are sending a arcing to be aggressive and bully our churches, and it's why it's been shocking, not shocking actually that you've seen on our churches when it comes to, for example, the fact that they're not entering churches as essential services that really with the Department of Justice to get involved to say you are literally violating our first amendment right and so I really applied US Atty. Gen. Bill Bonner for mapping and protecting the people of faith because MEK the Democrats do not believe church is essential. They think that we think should be comparable to going and playing going bowling are going to movie theater and I got to tell you to get pandemic and get through this difficult time in our country, the cornerstone of our chart churches are the core cornerstone is in order to get folks Mercedes Mercedes.

I wanted to go right to you, though, because we got some really interesting news and hopeful news that would still fight we got a petition up in ACLJ letter to save you a Sephia which means holy wisdom and at which is a museum, originally a church that was conquered by the Ottomans turned into a mosque and were now starting to see Muslim majority nations like the United Arab Emirates and the Islamic Society of North America come out and condemn the move by one in Turkey turned idea Sephia back into a mosque during first I didn't want to miss the opportunity to say happy birthday to you. I'm grateful for your friendship I hope next year is a blessed one for you near family. But that said, yes, I actually think the last 24 hours is been very important on this issue, we started to see a worldwide coalescing against Pres. everyone.

What he's done converting this site and look I sit on yesterday's broadcast but I really do think it was important Jordan for the United States and specifically for Sec. Pompeo to lead the way on this. I think that paved the way it sort of opened the door for some of these other countries that might have been afraid to cross Erewhon because Jordan you know this. If you cross Pres. Erewhon in that region of the world. It can have dire consequences. I think it was important for the United States to sort of stand in that gap and pave the way for some of these other countries to to make a statement and yeah I think the United air Emirates statement was probably one of the most significant ones there minister of culture expressed concern that the conversion would remove. Here's what she said. A point of harmony for the region. So Jordan I think I would distill all of that down to say that the world is kind of speaking with one accord here, but the question of course is going to be whether or not that is enough to get Pres. Erewhon to reverse course and I will just tell you my speculation.

Jordan will be that in and of itself.

It won't be enough. I think we're gonna have to go to the world Heritage commission. We have to go to the United Nations working have to go to all of these world forms and continue to press the case I don't think Pres. Erewhon is to be easily pushed off this one. Jordan know and he's been pushing for Islamization of Turkey. Since he is become the leader there which is the exact opposite of modern Turkey beforehand with Ataturk, who said we don't want this to be a symbol of Muslim conquering anymore that we want this to be a symbol of coming together for Christians and for Muslims of different kinds of denominations of different kinds of practices and we want to uncover the artwork it's there.

Both the Christian artwork which depicts Christianity, you can depict Christ you can depict the apostles and Islam you it's more scripted because they don't do depictions of people which then raises an issue here because as we showed yesterday, they've been able to uncover these unbelievable mosaics of dating back to the year 300, 400, 500 of Christ and the apostles of Mary of baby Jesus of angels, and they were covered over with plaster. Thankfully, the Ottoman Turks didn't just destroy all of them but even now fan. They are saying the religious authority in Turkey that while they will not destroy them is what they're saying when it is being used as a mosque. So anytime it and I don't know how their distinguishing if it's just very prayer time or not they are going to be covering those up so there we go again. The covering up once again the conquering of idea Sephia will it's a foot in the door. Jordan look all you have to do is look at the history of Pres. Erewhon to know where this is going to lead. I mean, when present, Erewhon first ran for prime minister at that point Jordan. As you know, he ran as a secularist.

He ran saying that he was to preserve the secular state of Turkey. He has done anything but since taking power.

He has tried to return it to a caliphate. We talked about that on yesterday's broadcast Jordan and he's also consolidated power unto himself is converted the Turkish system into a Presidential system, which of course is very convenient, given that he did that as he was stepping into the role of President so he's converted all of the power. He's got a coalesce all the power around himself while trying to move away from being a secular state so look he might say at this point that he's gonna preserve the artifacts that that cut against different religious traditions Jordan all you have to do is look at the at the history of Pres. Erewhon and how he acts on this.

He says one thing to get a foot in the door. But as soon as he has the power is soon as he has the ball in motion. He very quickly pivots to what is been his goal all along and you don't have to guess on this Jordan.

He wants to return Turkey to an Islamic state. He wants to return it to the seat of the caliphate and look, we've had direct, direct dealings with Pres. Erewhon and Turkey. In his is new image when we dealt with Andrew Bronson in his imprisonment there. So look, people need to not be fooled by what Pres. Erewhon is saying now we know where he's heading Jordan know. I also so I would she go to ACLJ.org. We need to take action here. I want you to listen is the Islamic Society of North America. They just put the statement out so I can I read it for. This is a group we do not always agree with in the United States. By the way those groups who have been in support of what one is doing her groups like Hamas and of the Turkish press saying you know now that we conquered idea Sephia again were going to go to conquer Athens and they were going to go to Al Ochs for Alaska. The that is the dome of the rock so they want to conquer Israel, Jerusalem, that's what they're kind of putting out so you're seeing Islamic groups like Hamas and extremist agree with a NATO ally like one in opposition we see the US, the EU, the UK, the UN, UNESCO, the agency Russia. The Russian Orthodox Church, the Greek Orthodox Church course. Many Christians now are seeing Islamic countries literally Islamic kingdoms monarchies ruled by sharia law, the United Arab Emirates, condemning this move, and now the Islamic Society of North America. Let me just read what what their leader has said the Islamic Society of North America has released a statement condemning Turkey's conversion of Hagia Sophia into a mosque really could sign a petition folks. It's all join together we could have these unique allies in this and send a strong message to Turkey that the world doesn't support this, both Christians, Muslims and all people of all faiths, or no faith at all. Sign the petition.

ACLJ.org is the goes on to say that the Koran states that it's against their religious beliefs to desecrate a Christian place of worship and to demolish places of worship and convert them into something else.

Dr. St. Siad who is the President of is the Islamic Society of North America, which is an umbrella organization has more than 300 affiliates in the US and Canada said we need to work together to convince her to want to convert a good idea Sephia into a boss and is stable.

It was built as a church and a pride of the Greek Orthodox church and what it was conquered. I did and converted it went against Islam friendly sites for 4022 clearly states that it is against Allah's plan to demolish places of worship and convert them into something else.

He believes again, this is to so divisive at a time when it's already tough enough for Christians and Muslims to have dialogue so sign our petition. ACLJ.org and tomorrow I will hopefully have that update on the part of California where churches are opening to get the singing van in the legal actually to take.
