Breaking: DC Gov Calls to Remove Washington Monument and Other Landmarks

Breaking news the DC commission looking at landmarks and statutes recommends the removal of the Washington Monument live from Washington DC Jay Sekulow phone lines are open for your questions right now.

Call one 800-6843 1-101-800-6841 two and the chief counsel for the American Center for Law and Justice Jay Sekulow brought a lot to cover today, but I've got part with a big wink, not a case involving the President and the tax returns will talk a little bit later in the broadcast. But the DC commission.

There's been a special commission was assembled to review.

It was called the DC Paces working group recommendations and this was to review the statues and memorials that exist in Washington DC. Logan tell everybody a little bit about what was going on. Your first when you see the list box. It is shocking you see this last argument coming from DC faces, which is the organization the barons of the other people involved in the government DC to put together civil parks and everything and they put out a whole list all document of statues, memorials, schools they believe should be either replaced or removed or explained as it should put a reason why this should existed to put into it. I contextualize essentially put into context and the list is pretty debatable.

I'd say say the least. There are a few other couple.

If you are there. I think we go through and you go okay I think that that's okay to be changed. I think in 2020. We can look at that go there was a deathly evil involved, but you look at the mail list and are you talking about the Washington Monument.

George Washington statutes along George Washington Monument Christopher Columbus Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson.

The Jefferson Memorial and again the options are on the table right now are remove and replace an injection to actualize ideas Monument and what's interesting is the President actually been saying this for years and people laughed at it that eventually they were going to not just come for look. I think what we've been a lot of debate on on the Confederate monuments of those type things. I think those at least is a discussion that can be had moved Washington Monument and not just of the physics of that it can be very difficult not to say that there is it some video conversations should again have the habits of these people and at but you, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, you're talking about the founding fathers around the country so look, nobody is perfect. We know that.

And here you have a situation where they are talking about, and this is what some clear. It says the federal government will remove relocate vendor asking that is to be done or contextualize the following assets they don't say which should be removed and which should be relocated which we contextualize and that's what is that you know and at the present that saving can be.

I remember we said to be tacking the Jefferson monument, the Jefferson when they are then attacked the Washington monument about they are not.

Here's the promise a cancellation culture know our history is not perfect, but you know it is our history and history matters when be joined after the bright by Dr. Randy, Dr. Andrew, our senior lawyers also a PhD in history were to be joined by Harry Hutchison, our senior policy director I want to quickly go to Van Bennett and get a reaction well day to city I love the country I love the idea that contributions of George Washington to the city in this country are now somehow worthy of shame is just beyond me. Janice quickly said is that she's got a jurisdiction issue because some of these city building city schools yeah they can unilaterally rename the end of these federal monuments J. She has no jurisdiction to rename those those grew through go to the federal government and just for the record, the interior secretary says not on my watch. Never going to happen to be just even look at it that from a sense of… This is take the historical set up Victoria's whenever you would think honestly this does damage to tourism their is what you're saying going there never is afraid that something not right now with different situations.

But just the idea that if you take a photo with the Washington Monument during our regular now would be considered some form of racist or or insensitive situation. That's also a concern to is it's not just that it's putting the seed in their place. The idea that these things are bringing so much tourism money, are now deemed inauthentic. I will take your calls. All this 800 684 31 tenants 1-800-684-3110 challenges facing Americans or substantial time when our Valley freedom sword constitutional rights are under attack more important than ever to stand with the American Center for Law and Justice ACLJ on the frontlines protecting your freedoms defending your rights in court 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 without your support, we remain committed to protecting your religious and constitutional freedoms event 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. If you're not well this is the perfect time to stand with us. ACLJ.org where you can learn more about her life changing become a member today ACLJ only when 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 powerful publication offering a panoramic view of the ACLJ's battle for the unborn, 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 activists 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 free copy of mission in life today online ACLJ/684 30 went to talk with you later broadcast about victory were on the President's tax return issue that's been so prevalent in litigation as I know first and because I been litigating it, but this new recommendation that came forward from the mayors office.

They put together a commission to review statues statutes that were statues that is that you you are so stuck on my life is been a statues pot owner/schools in the list of schools that are talking about changing the name up a log sheet Memorial but that's not me that's just the tip of the Christopher, okay, this is not like us would sit out willy-nilly. Let's tear it will get out with the audio presentation of IDC faces will ratify the list of the schools were there this summer. How about his Washington DC, Washington. I guess just call the district and then Andy I noticed your general reaction to this are what you can just make sure it's on the say on the radio. The work that I can come out on the radio and that it horror because I am a practicing his story and as well as a practicing lawyer and I see what were trying to do is to rewrite the past and to take out of context. The American dream and the American inheritance.

I mean, for all you say about Thomas Jefferson, the author of the Declaration of Independence. The purpose of the United States Secretary of State, George Washington Yancey had ideas that are not consistent with what we do in the 21st century, but he was the founder of the country, in the sense that he led the Army of the revolution against the British swimming undo as outgoing as London said just blow up the monument to block the the lease and then did Nila mean what kind of outrageous ideas. Are we coming up with and what is contextualize means that to me is a leftist word for destroy and to denigrate something into and to minimize that this is something that I can II can't it so difficult for me to express in the workbook. The present is a text the past its interpretation.

In order to understand where we are. We have to look at where we have been not by what we had. Let me ask this put this in context, contextualize contextualizes this in context, so they want these buildings, monuments, schools, rename all this and then we just play the clip in our break for those that watch us on a social media platform that had a lot of these monuments and it included the building of the Supreme Court. The on-site, which by the way did incorrectly decide Plessy versus Ferguson decided Dred Scott case is on base for three pips, yet lack for three pips Plessy versus Ferguson separate but equal okay, much to the internment of Japanese Americans, horrible decisions highly contextualize the building of the supreme. That's where decisions are made in our Republic wrongs get righted you correct them right in this instinct is actually the list to give you sort of the qualifications of what they decided who should have their name replaced some of them like us that we go through all of Christopher Columbus.

But there's some you would know on this list that maybe if you did look at the history like you know maybe top Klansmen we should be naming a school after I get that item in support of that. But in general. Some of these names it very familiar with. There's a reason. What is really interesting is also the five imperatives. One of them is the violation of the districts human rights laws. Their current laws for the current DC human rights laws, if they fit did research and evidence find the names they committed a violation of the DC human rights act, in whole or part, including discrimination against protected traits such as age, religion, sexual orientation and gender identity and natural origin, or talking about people from the 1700s DC human rights code which I think we can look this up I believe was like 19th Summit was like the late 1970s, maybe we can find it was. I said I still remember it.

So the first was 1977. So were only going to go back under 15 years from 1977 two 1776) right. This is it's not just revisionist history, it's it's really absurd and they can apply retroactively to DC human rights that you two are founders.

That's what it says pretty clear as day humans to any man, because only men could vote nobody exit everyone is flawed but to view people through a lens of of today is nearly impossible for someone who was by the way famous 15 years ago. I would much less someone famous 200 years ago also talked about renaming and they said this is your existing process to remain the following public schools so you have some of those names we brought up for may like Alexander Graham Bell, namely, Thomas Jefferson, Francis Scott Key Alexander Graham Bell do you have to look it up. I don't know what what what what he did mean could be terrible. I don't know a lot about. We did come up the telephone. I know that part yet. That's a good part. That's at least celebrate for sure were still using those today at and I hear there's also John Tyler a lot of Presidents a lot of Presidents on this list Zachary Taylor yet so yeah so if this is not just a blank. Though they monuments are the easiest for you to look at ago.

That makes that that seems that's the absurdity of it because are talking about yet, removing, replacing or contextualizing it. What buildings that are let's just put a joint gigantic to get it apart. I don't think it's possible will could our team as we produce it when I get me we can show it on TV audience. The Washington monument, the Jefferson Memorial different shots of the Supreme Court.

Congress and Washington's name was listed as Benjamin Franklin, one let's get get as many as we can if and when you get them.

I want to give up a lot but then if you walk out of our office you would start removing things block by block I mean literally outside our door.

I guess I guess outside of the sample. Now I guess it will open it open at the new city Park standing because there would be nothing but trees left in the engine block surrounding it. Look, I would say couple of things and then Logan touched on this, but these monuments are why people come to the city. In the first place to lock second that many of these monuments don't even belong to the city this report there were talking about specifically acknowledges that they belong to the federal government, NJ. The other thing and you to talk about retroactive application of DC law. I sure hope this week or next week. I don't violate some DC law that the passing the 22nd century or the 23rd century, long after I'm gone, because I'd be pretty hard J to abide by laws that are written as I'm living today. That's what were looking at here. You and the retroactive application of laws is usually deemed unconstitutional laws another with making it a crime David something without a crime yesterday or telling me without giving me notice if you walk up the steps when you get to the one that I'm thinking that's criminal. And when you step on it, you committed a crime, which you do not criminalize activity that was noncriminal when it was committed, and none of these things were criminal when they were committed. There may have been antisocial. They have been may have been immoral.

Slavery was a horrible thing. We Greeks were living under the Turkish boot for 400 years that mean that we have to destroy every mosque in Greece because the Turks were there no, it doesn't mean that this also mean that the Turks should destroy every church and in Turkey and make it in the mosque, certainly not. We have to be realist in our history we have to appreciate and understand the reality of what history means history is the story of the human past, with all its dirt.

It's good, it's bad, it's evil, it's right it's wrong. That's what it is you don't ignore it. You don't destroy you live with it and you understand it and most important, you learn from it.Condoleezza Rice said that the monuments is a lesson in history.

I'm watching like right now in her studio mean there's that they didn't take take take on the Lincoln Memorial know that's understandable, yet they certain ones that I see some of the more modern ones so they don't like, but clearly Jefferson Washington and are in the attached to Christopher Columbus are the three top-notch people that they are going after really nationwide and you talking about, you know, the founders of our country, but somewhat war heroes in their time and this is very strange.

I want people on Facebook and periscope and whatever other social media devices you can share share this to start showing these monuments a little bit and then it really had a minute and 1/2 year before the break, but this year was an exception because a covert I'm in inventories in which you know any tourism up there, virtually not right now it's down quite a bit jamming. There are still some people coming and they come to see these monuments but is down this year but typically I mean exactly right. These are the things that draw people to the city just want one point as we go to a break here. There are honest conversations that can be had here, much like the protest but here's what I see in both the protest of nonviolent and this conversation about removing these monuments we got way past that we've gone to anarchy and what has it cost us to its cost is those on honest conversations. Conversations Logan talking about. Those aren't happening because were talking about removing the Washington monument.

Pretty unbelievable. I think these are honestly kind of to say missing the point. But really missing the point of what those discussions can convey a Playwright that I guess a call right now 100-684-3110. I am sure thousands of me watching online millions of you listening on the radio all have a point of view on this like to share some of those on their gifts, 1-800-684-3110. That is 1-800-684-3110 and always check out the work of the ACLJAC LJ.org only one. A society can agree that the most vulnerable. Is there any hope for that culture to survive.

And that's exactly what you are saying with the American Center for Law and Justice right to life. We've created a free and 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 look at all major ACLJ were fighting for the rights of pro-life activist ramifications 40 years later, when Obama care means many ways your membership is empowering the right question mission life today online/challenges facing Americans is freedom and sort 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 and rights in court 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 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.where you can learn more about her life changing work, member today ACLJI talking honestly about the DC faces the government of the district of Columbia is put out the mayor and it essentially says it's time to either remove replace or contextualize the biggest tourist attractions in Washington DC, the Washington Monument, the Jefferson Memorial among many others that are on this list.

Some rightfully but most of them are just like you said removing history and look at the ACLJ were working on your email heard about the school choice initiative doing that for the last few months I've there's a new thing coming next week. They stated next week.

If you have kids you have grandkids or you just honestly feel like these hordes of American history are important are important to teach and to preserve you wanted to do next week to see if we have it is a recon tape different angle at the way you teach you learn and it's for kids and adults probably join as well. So applicable.

With all this going on and I like it could be ready.

I believe on Tuesday or Wednesday lunch. I wish I had today for you. I will send be ready to lunch Tuesday. The promo and I really doing a fundraiser on its way. Hopefully I support the work of the ACLJ, but through it support the work of building for the next future leaders of this country so II think it's really important, and we been developing it for the last number of months and it's ready to roll out right after Labor Day thoughts of that this is happened to line up right around the same time as the Bronx because this is this is one of the top issues this going on in society right now and I think it's important ACL.

Jade always be on top of that, and to always be finding unique ways to help your kids or grandkids a new way in times like these are right I wanted I want to talk about this in this context also and that is let me go first and any I'm I'm looking at that, you know, there's a couple of things. It we would all agree could be changed. I don't want a monument to a Ku Klux Klan leader and founder of the Ku Klux Klan. I accept the need for a memorial or a monument, though for people like Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson and George Washington the very founders of the country that we live in. They were not perfect, men. They were not without flaw. No one is they were a product of their times there not a product of the 1977.

This is interesting but not products of the 1977 DC human rights act. However, applying in 1776 and 1789. You people in the context of the generation of the century and of the time in which they live in you judge them by those standards, not by the standards of today. By the standards of tomorrow, we judge them by what they were and what they did at the time that contributions the Jefferson and Washington made tremendous contributions to the founding of the country.

We build memorials to them. Greek revival architecture.

Should we take that down because Greeks in ancient times had slaves.

That means we should destroy everyone building in Washington DC that is built in the Greek revival type of architecture.

That's how ridiculous it gets to say something else that a lot of people don't know at the end of the Civil War, the Marine band stood outside the White House and Pres. Lincoln said I want you to play a song and they said what do you want us to play Mr. Pres., and he leaned out the window and said Dixie should we now condemn Pres. Abraham Lincoln, one of the greatest Presidents. The United States has ever had because he slipped up once and made a statement that could be construed in the year 2020 as being racist or was he trying to be reach out to the concrete and rent to be written as a whole.

History about why he did that and Harry Hutchison are gripper policies joining us with this whole history by Jeff widely considered play that it was this reconciliation mode and southern states back into the country. You could criticize it and I you think of 100 reasons why that wasn't a good idea but in Lincoln's view, there was a reason to do it. Putting that aside, Harry, this is a cancellation culture. What we can we say that what we talking about the link they were talking about individuals who oppose reconciliation will oppose actually American history in Athens moved by the DC committee to recommend changes to the Washington Monument, Jefferson Memorial and other historical aspect is simply the first step in a long desired process in polishing history as part of the Democratic Party order perfectionism, including the retroactive prosecution of the past and patented rhetorical figures based on the current DC human rights statute is a massively ridiculous campaign that does nothing for the people of Washington DC except make politicians feel better about themselves and so that the DC committee will likely decide that the English language itself, and math are systematically racist. This is ridiculous. Let me let me ask you this, so if you got a controversial you note this controversial history with all of our founders because they were probably times, how would you handle it. Harry well you develop a balance.

You could have a bipartisan commission you could have individuals who are actually interested in serving actually interested in contextualizing. We are not perfect people. This is not a perfect country but what we really have at hand here with this DC committee is a perfectionist and the Democrats conveniently forget their own racist path, so are the members of the DC committee prepared to support the defunding person of the Democratic Party so are they willing to support criminal justice with forms like the justice act proposed by Kevin Scott are they willing to support school short choice which would fortunately improve the lives of African-Americans and the Spanish-American on many of these issues, but Democratic Party DC committee is found wanting. So, in my judgment, this is not a serious attempt to re-balance the history of the United States.

I so very safe for another segment in the back half hour. I want to get into a little bit back and thought about what took place yesterday in the US Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit will talk more about this logo but to let everybody know what's coming next week coming with special project in a brand-new, privately ACLJ either need your support and resources. I start the content specifically aimed at your children and grandchildren will have more to talk about it really fits in with this really dies. I throw that preserving American history observing our faith.

I hand the instruction of it, really unique, fun way. It's not the same thing of this is not could be some real heady deep in type content is content your kids need to learn accountant. Maybe you could find handy as well. I would help preserve the American history really do it through some of the work at the ACLJ ring need your help, and there can be a very very cool way for you to do it and see we going I'm even great promo I completed your completed and I can't wait showcase an accident in the rough and pretty funny are still tweaking it. Make sure it's perfect for all the website great grandkids and me just tell you excited about it's going to be a lot of fun and also be very serious ransoms and real deal from the content I think so too.

You know it's not unlike stuff you grew up with, but done in a very modern way for kids of 2025 will take calls we come back from the break your reaction.

All of this presents tax return case and sport work ACLJ and ACLJ dental ACLJ on the frontline 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, 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 counsel for the American Center for Law and Justice Jay Sekulow. So the question is Facebook are interesting. Are these federal monument would give the mayor the right to go after them. Are they going to ask for Monticello and number to be torn down.

Also, what's next.

Renaming Washington DC is exactly what Logan said that scum is coming on Facebook and there's reason why that is why it's coming. I give them ideas many ideas. By the way, they might actually do that. The reason is that maybe we were addressing the last half hour is the revision DC faces, which is by the government of the District of Columbia has put out a list and which requirements to rename, replace, or rename replace remove or or contextualize likes to monument the Jefferson Memorial amongst many others on this list to Christopher Columbus surveyed the people that are now the biggest target. Some of these people are people who helped found this country and not only that, is there putting them under the rule of law of 2020 is essentially these people ever violated the human rights laws of today. 200 years ago. They should have their names removed additional B celebrated in yes review defense of that is there would be no one to be there to be nothing celebrated without some of those people yet so Russian Thomas Jefferson. Good luck American when you explain to people what will be like would watch with in Washington DC with these going I mean you live there. I lived there to obviously on and often happier.

Usually I'm just trying to visualize this would be darned near empty J and there would also be no real celebration of our past because so much of the city is laid out in a way where you actually do literally walk through the history and the formation of our country. You're not RJ was glad to see that the Facebook comments or ask about how this would actually happen because the only thing that the DC Mayor can do is use her position on the Napa national capital Memorial advisory commission to recommend the removal of at least the federal monuments J that would go to places. First of all, it would go to the National Park Service overseen by the Sec. of Interior. We've Artie said that he has said this is not going to happen on his watch. But here's the other interest in the Presidential debates. I gearing the 100% but I know the reason I mention that is because I wanted a layer on top of that the congressional level. The hearings would take place in the Senate energy and natural resources committee J that is chaired by Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and the ranking member J it's Joe mansion of West Virginia.

Do you think this is going to have resonance with Joe mansion of West Virginia. If it does I'll be very surprised by me and the fact of the matter is Harry. This will be a it's good to be a question in the debate you know and one of the things that I hate that Joe Biden would have hopefully coming up with a constructive, if not articulate answer because Joe Biden is being pulled into distinct directions and based on recent past, more likely than not, he will have to side with the left-wingers in his party, or he will lose their support ways to spend it just broke that the first debate of the President will be the presence of Babel to be on in Cleveland on September 29. It will be moderated by Chris Wallace and I think the second one is Kirsten Walker from from NBC. Both of these folks I know, September is etc., 29th, so that's just a few weeks away. I know I love the election is less than a month much that it was like just run around the bar today exactly today beginning at step two months that I write with my right 60 days estate weeks. Let's get through it and we were ready and I will get the okay for women to see the debates yeah let that happen.

Yeah, as he said no debates because of covet. When he said no debates because she didn't think that your company had a special thing on your Logan Sekulow reprogramming talk minutes) talking I'm sincerely well yeah she was in the illegal haircuts that would take a break we come back really think your phone calls, 1-800-684-3110 Indecon was still with the standard course and was very Emmy and he finally said Logan Sekulow reprogramming radio show we talk about the influence of the liberal elitist to YouTube.com/Logan Sekulow reprogramming and all of it. Thank you to our donors who made the August it's a tremendous month course challenges facing Americans as time and are now sort constitutional rights are under attack more important than ever to the American Center for Law and Justice on the frontline protecting your freedoms and rights in court in Congress and in the public and we have an exceptional track record of success. But here's the bottom line we could not do more work cultures, 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 and not well this is the perfect time to stand with us ACLJ.where you can learn more about our 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 right to life, we've created a free and powerful publication offering a panoramic view of the ACLJ's battle for the unborn will show you how you are personally and includes all major ACLJ were fighting for the rights of pro-life activist ramifications 40 years later, when Obama care means many ways your membership is empowering the right question for mission life today online/change gears for a moment here so we got into some kind of a history of the Vance Trump versus Vance cases when we prescreen court cases we argued right here in this studio actually in May. Member their reporting and two of the congressional subpoenas with complete victory on the third one we did not get the absolute immunity we sought and we did not get the heightened scrutiny we asked for. We did get the court unanimously agreed that the President is entitled to special deference is entitled raises constitutional challenges and that was remanded back to the federal court for that. We did that we follow suit in the federal court challenging the DH subpoena the same subpoenas, but it is every year as unconstitutionally overbroad that it was a fishing expedition that it was not valid District Court issued 103 page opinion against us and we had no case, hundred and three pages to explain we file an application for a stay with the US Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit pending the disposition of the appeal of which don't let them enforce the subpoena. While we appeal this case and you know the Concerta course was able to do that we were prepared to go to the Supreme Court. While that is not what happened. We do not have to go to the Supreme Court. I want you to listen to this question by Judge Walker to my counsel. On the other side care.

Done. He was asked this week by the way, we got this day I will be limited. Is that okay we got to stay.

It stays in place of disposition. The Second Circuit Argument Briefing Will Take Pl. in September. Argument the end of the month and probably get an opinion depending on Thursday since mid-October. I think we got a good chance of prevailing. Can you see why in a moment and then it goes on bonk which is the entire possibly the entire Second Circuit were here.

I think they would think we have a really good chance there may never make up with way back up to this report. Take a listen to this for me argument yesterday, however, why this week is all 11 of whether or not there and that that's what I have trouble understanding you will regret. But there's no way to measure that the problem subpoena here in a financial investigation by our office is actually not unusual at all and again record reflects that each of the categories are talking about has been publicly alleged to be a transaction involving potential criminal wrongdoing by the organization so key. Here's DH would not give us a stay of the enforcement of this anti-during the appellate process. Visit the present wasn't entitled to deference an appellate room full appellate review. The thought otherwise and walking a very pressing on, and said what about overbreadth have brought subpoena from the grand jury be before it is so broad that it brings into its purview. So many things that would make it burdensome upon the respondent to answer that would get into areas that you don't have to get into and you have no right to get into, and I think that that is what ultimately is going to be the death knell of the subpoena is that it is so overbroad and encompasses so much material worldwide.

The Trump organization and that the President's individual capacity, were involved in that the Second Circuit is to say you narrow this down before we import the arguments on the merits of this meeting was to be addressed. This came up. Also, did Judge Walker was only three judge panel asked my colleague will consummately very important question. Also, take a listen as number five was that important ruling that was passed but questions of unity special need. Nevertheless got back the very standards that make make a play and also the necessarily meticulous with you. In the case of an question I have with the Court of Appeals have to credit your definition is contract appeal that Your Honor, I think eventually yeah but I don't think so. Right now I think that the function of the way the attorney decided to handle the case are lenient partiers. I think it is one just did Judge Walker makes the statement that the Supreme Court said that there is a heightened respect to the President, and I necessarily meticulous review in the case of a President and when the Court of Appeals have to give definition of those concepts. On appeal, and I want to be clear, I mean in a marriage decision here but the New York TAN. He was denying us that right because they said you can keep your appeal going but produce the documents and give them to the grand jury and the toothpaste. At that point is out of the tube and even if you try to put it back in you not ever get all the back and is pretty messy.

Not really following the letter of the law. The Supreme Court of United States interpreted by not giving you deference to the President and that they were, they want everything they're going to demand everything they did not look at it and overbroad capacity, which is what it really is and they were called on that by this panel specially Walker on the on the Second Circuit who said why you have been given deference to the President you just mimic the subpoena and you are back again to the overbroad standard that you establish before you can do it. The Supreme Court told you to do it all and you're not there and you're going to get this subpoena stayed there enforcement of the response to the state until the Second Circuit and I do think it will go in bank.

That is to say, the entire Second Circuit is going to hear this and I think that ultimately, in my view, the President will prevail about the situation.

I like DC asked for money if you didn't know there was a document circulated today. The district Columbia facilities and commemorative expressions department after the mayor and it specifically goes in to the replacing, removing or contextualizing some of the top Washington DC monuments, parks, school names look some of these as we set our controversial and maybe should be adjusted by George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, classic founding fathers was ever knows about.

It also happened to be the biggest tourist attractions in Washington DC and so if you have a question or comment on that.

Give us a call at 100-684-3110 is 1-800-684-3110 let's go the phones up to Julie Scully at Iowa State. I will like to hear Julie one Campo culture, my criminal their time are letting actual criminal and do whatever they might integrate that really is actually to receive all of this. Julie and I have lottery program because that's where my frustration comes all four people have the right to sit with everyone to say I I'm pretty much anti-censorship advocate, but when it comes to these kind of situations you're right.

You can even look the person in the you came to talk to because hypocrisy is so evil and astounding that it's a disturbing to your core others you have written about this country program. I either a website.

Website guide game spot big new sites over CBS headed ad yesterday for the National Guard automatic brand and they tweeted it out jointly a check for more information.

They had a gamer who is also National Guard National Guard and they said like more information about drinking recruiting at they got slammed had to delete the tweets because they're saying you were going everything. How dare they, this is the most disgusting thing you've ever seen that promoting the United States military NL to promote to get the children who play video games.

Also at the same time, the Biden Harris campaign announces that they have now put campaign ads you can actually place a little pretend Biden Harris sign in animal Crossing, which is really aimed at kids and adults apply I know, maybe too many adults, a plant that, but it's one of the things you go in that's praised the hypocrisy of it is astounding that you you can't you can dictate the fact that a videogame news website owned by major corporation may take money to advertise a wing of the United's military and that somehow egregious and offensive because it advertises the military's guys to kids. I I'm so over all of this is hypocrisy at its core.

When we come back from break, I want to ask Harry again to lay out a definition of what this cancel cultures, but family got a minute here and how significant is this cancel culture impacting Congress is very significant. I appreciate Julie's call.

I appreciate Logan's comments because J this is a city I love that I tell you right now I cannot take my family right now to participate in outdoor dining on the streets because mobs are randomly harassing diners a look respectfully to Mayor Bowser who I've worked with in the past.

Let's address that. Let's address that rather than moving the Washington Monument is a very real issue and it's affecting your city. I just have to say because you brought this up and we just have a lot of stuff.

The mayor's name is Mayor Bowser, which if you are a Mario fan. I mean unbelievable coed finance write that monologue.

I sent him up for that Mayor Bowser all right.

It was a call 1-800-684-3110 your voice heard on their final segment, Jay Sekulow, then I got to do another hour so back only one. A society can agree the most vulnerable invoice. 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. Thank you. Well, this is the perfect time to stand with us ACLJ God where you can learn more about her life changing, member today ACLJ as it would take to call my segment one 800 684 31 to also get some Facebook comments and I want to marry and Andy first-tier Eric defined the kit with what we seeing this. This is the cancellation culture being implemented, but let's define it again for everybody. So everybody understands what were talking about will increasingly be United States by what divides us and so we have now home to what might be called identity, culture, identity politics, and so that is essentially carrying the nation, heart, and much of this or this is grounded in the notion of grievance and victimhood and I think it represents the education of the American people, particularly young people and delete educational institutions who have a vent evidence of their hatred for the United States itself and so if you look at the New York Times with their 1619.

They essentially playing that the United States which grounded in slavery. Welder absolutely wrong because the Jamestown settlement occurred 12 years before, 16, 19 United States was not founded. For instance on slavery but nonetheless many of these advocates from the black lives matter movement and people for left-wing members of the Democratic Party.

They believed that the United States found doing was wrong and essentially it must be turned down, removed, in addition to which, of course, they have now turned their attention from monument to math, English itself, all those things have to go because they represent suppression supplication and victimhood as a historian east of the sermon.

I think it bears repeating the perfect history. These are not perfect, men and women. None of us are and the idea that there was errors, mistakes made policies at work we find abhorrent. Violating our our conscience, but this was 200 years ago.

In the end with the New York decedent was like when applied to DC human rights that you from 1977 back to the founding of our country. We don't do that you don't rewrite history history of the story of change through time. That's what history is in the history of the human reality, the history of the intervention of God in human life. The great event of the incarnation of Christ, all these things are events that will occur. You cannot deny them.

What you do from them is you learn from the errors of the past and you try to repeat it. He who does not know history is doomed to repeat it again you don't condemn you don't knock down monuments you understand that they were put up at a time and a place and for a specific reason and you learn and you look at these as a learning experience, and you don't victimize everybody.

You cannot were all victims.

If you look at it that way the country is a victim founded country and we are hypocrites if we say if we keep saying over and over that we've got to change what America is. America is for all its faults.

Still, the beacon for what is free and just and right in the world and these statues in these men in these monuments, with all their faults and all their foibles and all the things that they did wrong. Nonetheless, did ride and good and just things and that is what we should concentrate on and not the bad traits. Facebook said it seems like people are confusing. The point of the monuments, not all of them are to celebrate every action of every person associated Andy's right, we will remove any semblance of history and the ability to have meaningful conversations then Christina is, I think this is one that maybe we can help settle people that She said, as it is a point where legal action can be initiated or is this such a ridiculous request that you probably want to get to that point will take this verse Christine watching on Facebook some time when into this. This is not like holding up the report you talk about pages and pages and beautifully graphic design report.

This didn't come out of Linda's write an email and said hey we should replace the box to monument you know this is a thought out thing from your browser and it says it is a ridiculous point of view, but is at the point where real is this.

This is something I can address it that these are federal monuments number one, the state economy cannot remove federal monuments so that fact, it would take acts of Congress to remove these but I tell you I won't save the debate to come up in the debates and they will be pressed to take a stand on these issues. But what about from a legal standpoint and congressionally it would take congressional action to remove this in the District of Columbia because he sees Congress is the basically the legislature for the DC exactly correct.

There can be tears. To this day, and the mayor has said that she is going to be guided by this commission. She set it up and said she is going to advance the recommendations based on this that you know the things that are within her control when she says these recommendations where she moving them to she can take action herself yet will he do it depends which ones the ones that are for city schools and city park yesterday and the Council can work together on those, but you're 100% correct on the federal monuments and that that's really what is the most upsetting to me because if she wants to advance those recommendations. J she has to use her seat on the national capital Memorial advisory commission to recommend that action but who would be responsible for implementing that it be the federal government under the National Park Service, headed by the Sec. of Interior who said he's not gonna do it. She could try to get the Congress to pass a statute, J and she would have to go through the Senate natural resources committee which is chaired by Lisa Murkowski and try to get you had the confusion before between statute and statute they could pass a statute to remove the monuments or or the statues, JI don't think that's can happen. I don't think she would even get a bipartisan support for that but I would tell you this. This recommendation might seem unbelievable, but J, it has to be believable. It's here and it has the mirrors in Fort Logan's right. It's it's a thick document. It will be a debate question. That means it can become. Here's a could take 10 years could take 20 Democratic House Democrats and Pres. take 10 minutes lately setting, maybe even it's planting the seed that you may not want to take a selfie with the Washington tell me about what's coming so that we are offering hope on a basis for American history point of view in world history and faith, but specifically American history comes to solace in Chicago with certain political leaders grant saying we should abolish history classes for the time being until we can rewrite those history classes were to take action on this.
