Secular radio holding Iran the incoming binding ministration talk about what's going on already with Ron today on secular radio live from Washington DC Jay Sekulow right now the Middle East remains on edge as Iran continues to develop its nuclear conducting military drills that threaten US interests. All this could change though is reported to indicate President-elect I may quickly rejoin the Iran nuclear deal. Upon taking office later this week. Phone lines are open for your questions right now.

Call 1-800-684-3110 and the country actually tested a series of ballistic missiles that landed within 100 miles of the USS Nimitz aircraft carrier in a show of force on Sunday. American B-52 bombers made their fifth patrol mission to the Middle East since November and now your homes secular focusing a lot on Iran because he been isolated world. They were continuing to be isolated in the last six months. With these group use deals were being organized by a present from his administration by Jared push for those working on that he was just getting back Middle East last week finalizing those deals already the UAE, Morocco, Sudan. This was again it was continuing to isolate the Islamic Republic of Iran. But now we have a situation where surprise, surprise.

As the Biden administration prepares to take office tomorrow. Iran is already in it. It's it's testing Joe Biden.

This is a Biden administration that is saying Iran were to lift help lift economic sanctions were to rejoin the nuclear deal JCP OIC you would think right if their strategy was correct, Iran would be shooting off missiles to 100 miles away from our strike forces, but they are. You would think that Iran who found not guilty in Iranian American last year of espionage which is unbelievable. There court system, but they have let it get returned home and now they've rearrested him and informed him that he was found guilty of espionage again and since the 10 years in prison, all within the last week is happening but and she would think if they thought the Biden administration approach was the correct approach rushed right back into that the failed Iran nuclear deal and Iran will suddenly be nice if yet it's the opposite. Iran was weakened and scared of its own people and nervous to act at all. Under the trust administration. Their top guy was killed by my present truck okay in a strike, don't. Don't forget that the head of the Iranian Revolutionary guard was taken out somebody and people thought all Iran is good to start a war with Israel to the start or this really about the file for the rockets that don't know. So instead with a donative ministrations cover you that wants to give them money and pay them for peace and pay them make nice and have cups of tea in Geneva with with with them. They stay start at the start rearrested Americans, they start firing off missiles were talked about with Rick Rundell today for acting director of national intelligence for investors. Germany.

Germany also plays a key part in this because liberals other countries. They stared their hope in the US does rush back into a deal like this because they want to make money off of Iran there ready do business again with the roadbuilding totals for Iran's nuclear program. Yet the IAEA say I Iran is enriching again above the levels are allowed to do and this is this site getting a ton it sake the coverage it deserves, because you are by focusing on the inauguration. That's fine. But understand this is what's facing our country immediately immediately upon it. We see this happen time and time to get it was like the it was like I went with Carter to Reagan and then that you have everybody all the hostages were released. Now you see like the opposite. Seeing the aggressive Iran as we transfer from Prabhu took up the head of the Revolutionary guard entered by thought old know what will Iran do while there.

We country with a bad economy they did nothing. But now that they go there to get back your way with the US start floating it start getting aggressive rinsing your phone calls this talk to Rick Rundell about 164. 31 tearful panels here to take your calls as well. That's what he hundred 64 3110. As literally the Biden ministry to say they want to rush back into the steel at the end of this week. By the end of this week regarding back in a failed nuclear deal with Iran while they are being aggressive of the world stage continued to press their own people will talk about all that today secular radio challenges facing Americans for substantial time with our Valley freedom sword constitutional rights are under attack is more important than ever to stay with the American Center for Law and Justice for decades now ACLJ is on the front lines protecting your freedoms defending your rights in court in Congress to get 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. In the 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, are 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 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 powerful publication offering a panoramic view of the ACLJ's battle for the unborn is called mission like it will show you how you are personally support the publication includes a look at all major ACLJ pro-life cases were fighting for the rights of pro-life activists. The 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 to life question free copy of mission in life today online ACLJ/the Obama Biden years as we prepare for more Biden years. This headline, Iran, jails, US businessmen, possibly jeopardizing Biden's plans for diplomacy with Tehran, and this was a businessman of the Iranian American kind of similar sort of heard about for years out of Iran, though cases we found was not happening so much under that the trump administration. When people asked for assistance. This this was an American who was actually found under present trump by the erotic in court which is unbelievable actually not guilty, not guilty of espionage, but when they when they made that ruling back in December 2019. The hell unto his passport she could leave and then he found out last week that he was actually found guilty and he's been arrested and sentenced to 10 years in prison for espionage.

So I would go first to our senior military analyst asked them to Rick Cornell first is our international foreign policy and Senior advisor, and that is Rick this drawing set right. This is a flashback for us and we handled the case of Iranians, Americans being captured by the Iranians in negotiating the release under present trump.

We were successful. Now you got Biden coming in at supposed to be this re-engagement yet make they starting with the test that's basically what this I look at this is a test and remember that during the Obama Biden years we kept failing the test every time that the Europeans wanted to do something in and try to find consensus with the Ron situation got worse. It is really a test and the Biden team so far is is not getting it right. There is no clear announcements or statements of condemnation West senior military analyst Roscoe retard currently nine states Army. This was the question I had for you. Iran is been decimated the sanctions have been devastating their military leadership has been literally taken out and they were at the probably weakest point, especially when you had the success what the President did with the with the Abraham accords yet.

This gives them a rebirth of energy because the incoming ministration immediately goes to not just a reconciliation but a full embrace of where they would say taking idyllic were taken eight years back step of the Iranians that are good negotiators because they're attempting to negotiate from a position of strength. During the eight years of the Obama ministration. We continually negotiated a position of weakness and willing to give, give, give, we were desperate for a deal. Iranians are desperate but they know how to negotiate from a position of strength. That's exactly what you're doing if your touches on air 1-800-684-3110 is this a great question. Ready to go back to Rick with because Rosemary and YouTube's rights and how quickly could this new administration undo what's been accomplished in the region the past four years. May Rick writing seeing that they sent the signal hey were going to go back to the JC POA were to go back to nuclear deal and yet the same time there. The luncheon missile test missile test of work going on during the trump administration somewhere hitting like 100 miles away from our strike forces in the CME with wet or increasing our B-52 patrols so as things are getting more hostile even while the Biden ministration say here what we want you no relief give you relief from sanctions get you more money and it's that same strategy. We talked about this a lot Rick with with you is that strategy of trying to appease them and when you do that is too big to get more aggressive, more violent and more dangerous. Remember that Germany, the largest economy in your desperate to do more training with Iran is pressuring the government they want open trade and so the Europeans are not pressure the Biden ministration the Biden ministration is going to come back and say were working with our allies we have this response. But make no mistake, Europeans are going to water down the US policy and they don't fear and had the same level of threat that we do when it comes to around you. It's interesting because we have a course in office in the heart of Jerusalem, and in fact something I'm looking at were looking at increasing some staffing there very senior levels and what's I find fascinating about that is that with our engagement in the Middle East, which is been extensive the last four years have been much easier than the previous eight years before that week when we when I negotiated very complex deals between the Israelis the Jordanians the Palestinian Authority every week we been involved in that kind of stuff we have an DJ and we've been successful in doing it the multisided and multifaceted aspect of the Middle East has come out in the negotiations that we have had, but the Iranians I think as we have said before are now emboldened by what they see as a different administration a different attitude, a different approach a dangerous approach.

I think on the part of the United States and is investor Grenell said there were the Germans earned our time to do business with the Iranians. There can be pressuring us as our supposed allies to the cave into them. This we must not do go to Dennis in Pennsylvania.

If your touches on air one 800 684 31 to maybe take your calls throughout the broadcast. This welcome to Jay Sekulow live your on their encapsulated perfectly what I initially spoke to you about a ran with the boat to be sanctioned bankrupt completely flat. Naturally occur over the past four years. What I heard periodically and I'm I'm wondering how they have the funds to stand up for ballistic missile land with an hundred miles of the limits were where they get the money to get money from Rick addresses that I made in the past they been supported by Russia. They have been supported by the Chinese and previously Rick.

They had a very strong economy which they do not have right now you lie so we we don't always know the truth but they have great deals with China are selling oil still sell that very good resource for that class.

They still make money what they call humanitarian goods that their trained Europeans get to do is classified as humanitarian and it continues at me when I was ambassador I found out a lot of trading that was not communitarian or certainly can be classified that that was going through and so were constantly trying to crackdown with a cheap line get around the system. We did a symposium you couple years back in Oxford, University of Oxford at double ecologists and Iran was a big focus of it and one of the report were the papers it was delivered by one of our colleagues was about the new silk road that China had the silk Road into Iran and the people West understand from a military standpoint is that we've now the President was present.

Trump is very successful in aggregating the Middle East view on Iran which forced in a good way relationship with Israel because it was a common enemy absolutely command all of the countries in the Middle East and have lived there.

They see Iran as the big threat they've known for many many years, Israel was not a threat, but now they're coming on board and acknowledging it publicly that they need Israel to stand with them and the United States against Iran, which is a threat to them and that it is unfortunate that that I think history is going to repeat itself 30 years ago we were where we are right now with North Korea. We tried sanctions which right aid retread negotiations. 30 years later North Korea is a nuclear armed nation. Now our only hope is to hope they don't use the weapons we are slow learners today because this same thing if were not careful going to happen with the rent.

You don't want to think about anymore talk about that in Oxford we did that whole program focusing on Iran and Turkey in the hope that that there is an Iran, Turkey connection to others a definite connection between Iran and Turkey. And then we have to understand the Turks right now are not our friends. They've never been our friends really and sent them the friends of Christians and certainly haven't been the friends of the NATO ally alleged ally Greece.

It's a dangerous connection that we have to keep our eyes on. I hope it's something that Pres. Biden is going to come to realize is not in the best interest of the United States to support the Turks. The Turks are dangerous people they've always been. They always will be. Yeah, I think that this awareness situation. Now it's clear it's a classic and Rick it's not like anybody wish this on on America or that we have to deal with this, but it's it's so predictable that within even before Pres. elect Joe Biden is taking the oath we see Iran take more aggressive steps against American citizens more aggressive steps militarily because they think and they know if Job I'm telling the truth at the back working to get back into this deal is a country with them that the monies to start flowing that much easier tried to go back and do exactly that. I think there's one thing that's different this time Jay was touching on the horns. I think there's some recognition in the region that they cannot go back to the days where Ron threatens the region. The Obama years were terrible for the region, enjoying a very different sentiment in the region and were already now seem dealt and react talking and trying to figure out with Jerusalem what they can do about Tehran that is a big deal and that's gonna be a problem for the Europeans and just thinking about that with the fact is one of the lasting legacies of this presence going to prison. Trump is going to be those Abraham courts because the reality is was a completely respect the complete reshaping of the Middle East to the for the betterment of the world and for the betterment of the region but also for the betterment of the nine states.

I think it's it's tragic in the sense of that policy probably will not be continued because what you had was an alliance because of a common enemy. That became strong on the table were doing at the ACLJ folks and we got people like Rick Grenell and Wes Smith and got others and in the region. We have offices in Jerusalem. The American Center for Law and Justice is fully engaged in the Middle East now our advocacy over the last four years was easier to be frank, okay, it's not easy now. It can be going back to the way the starting that whole fighting when you're fighting with your own country at the United Nations. I will follow up. We come back break on Rick with Rick on that because guess what folks four years of relative peace of the United Nations for the United States to go up there every two weeks fighting policies like we did under the Obama administration.

Remember our European centers of pull NGO at the UN. Get ready for that. Buckle your seatbelt on that be a lot of work ahead 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 when the American Center for Law and Justice, defendant the right to life.

We've created a free powerful publication offering a panoramic view of the ACLJ's battle for the unborn 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, when Obama care means to discover the many ways your membership is empowering the right question mission life today online/challenges facing Americans is no constitutional rights are under attack more important than ever to stay with the American Center for Law and Justice on the frontlines projecting your freedoms defending your rights 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 not well this is the perfect time to stand with us ACLJ.where you can learn more about her life changing, member today ACLJ radio we will think of phone calls to 164, 31 to focus on something to delete up to the inauguration tomorrow in lots of news about you what's happening there with happening at the border, but you were shifting back into a timer.

We have to really start watching the world again. On a much more microlevel Duchess, it might macro peace deals and we seen the conflicts decrease.

Unfortunately, what we learned of the by the past administration, which Obama and Biden was there was a lot of conflict there was a lot of instant instability. There was this Arab spring that turned into an uprising of radical groups like Isis Libby Qaddafi being dragged through the streets and run out but then support the Iranians when they had the uprising that we try to squelch our allies admit was a brother get thrown out any of the military back in that Facebook barking so it was just a just always seem like a mess internationally to turn on the news, there's always like disaster happening around the world.

Yes. So I go to this movement, we have our European Center for Law and Justice is an NGO very active nongovernmental organization with full recognition at the United Nations. He spent a decade at the UN in various positions in the last four years.

Quite frankly, we've had a pretty nice ride with the President empowering the people like you and Z ambassadors and directors of national intelligence we been able to defend our ally Israel also remembers the stand up for policies that we think are right on a global scale, that is about to radically change and I think be helpful Rick to spend a few minutes talking to our listeners as to what it's going to look like at the UN.

Well I have to say that they're going to wrap them selves around this work consensus and and watch very carefully.

Biden team will build consensus as an amazing initiative and an amazing word consensus that the UN means that you have team members of the UN Security Council of green to a statement or a policy position. This is really dangerous for America because it will not be a potent policy. Water down it will be the lowest common denominator of what 15 countries with very different views believed. I think that were going to have to be very careful woman who has been nominated to be the UN ambassador is a career diplomat, which may sound good but it just means that it's going to be very bland and very driven by what other countries want us to do with you dealt with on the military side of these international tribunals. The UN is richest and non-things very concerned about this. You can tell is very different in about 36 hours yeah unfortunately so you know into Rick's point. It is not reassuring that the nominee to be Deputy Secretary of State is Wendy Sherman who is one of the chief negotiators of the Iran nuclear deal making. It is going to be in a bad way. History repeating us about the say that so and you look back, we've done these cases we've done these negotiations with ample stuff to be when Jordan's been very involved in this.

We are taking steps back your folks and we got what you can't do just real love is nothing we can do because there's a lot you can do. We have to be prepared to do it we have to be prepared and we have to be cognizant of the fact that what we did under the Trump administration what was done was America first and that was, not necessarily always consensus as a matter fact consensus is the master Grenell pointed out, is a dangerous basis upon which to proceed because it's not in the best interest of the United States all the time to look for consider consensus among competing nations whose interests are not necessarily those of the United States. When you put a career diplomat in their lives not like Nikki Haley was knocking the stand up for American interest for Israel interest but we are true allies interest that becomes a dangerous thing. J this is a team it's general it's a popularity contest.

They will be welcome back to you and not feared. Not not to sit in feared in a good way. By the way, this is asserting our status as a superpower which we did over the last four years, but we had having to go to Geneva work. Having the cat team up with our European forces because they were like you have these country so were we supposed to do America's taking.

This policy, that's how they become dyslexic so we have to work through our other European offices and allies because they would say it was a listener not to oppose America on this so we have to go.

We spent our time at the Embassy in Geneva for the United States on the behalf of a US citizen that that we did not do that you offer for Pastor Bronson and we had to get we were able to put together campaign and then present Trump yeah got it done and that may have not made is more popular in the halls of the UN is on the smoking sections are they aware that you have by sipping their cappuccinos, but we didn't have to spend our resources there. We had our European team basically was handling the UN these last last four years they were doing effective job at it. Other international issues that didn't involve directly the United States about the change that Rick this is about to change how drastically is this change can be felt that the United Nations will remember that Jake's element of the national security advisor who will be helping script the policy.

He's been a total Chinese apologist Wendy Sherman is Deputy Secretary of State. Not only was she outmaneuvered by the Iranians is a long history being outmaneuvered by the North Koreans as well. She did the food a deal which was a disaster. And also I think it goes without saying that most conservatives are quite ready to give in the Wendy Sherman nomination say that she's going to get a job without a lot of work to educate people and and politicians Wendy Sherman record and failure of the issue is because of how divided the sit it is we don't have to give past everybody's nominees. When asked if the report out some are already going through right now as we speak and the hearings are happy because as Rick said it's it is so divided. It's not likely to do good to get automatic pass is not so easy to get them confirmed. If there is an education about why this is person you strategically want to focus it on as as people who are not well-equipped for the job. There being no but if Iran is such a significant threat regionally and internationally that you would think whoever is handling that one Rick last question that one handling that one is one we need to exercise our voices onto the US and Germany, France, UK and secretary for your wrong policies can be developed. Those people need to be very strong habits. I appreciate thanks Rick for being with us on this. It's great to have you gray tabby for the whole lot about Ptolemy quickly go to last night I got this quickly. I view I ran this in my view is in the top three threats facing United States absolutely along with China, which we don't see as a threat and certainly North Korea Nancy. Their behavior has not changed their still the state largest state-sponsored terrorism still so investor still developing missiles and are trying to get nuclear weapons what their banking on J's for the United States to change not. I get nervous about two is relatively weak to where it will take Isis even took at the head of the Iranian Revolutionary guard interface reprisal in Syria.

These are called out that that's because this evisceration approach was don't have to display society go to work his assignment he crosses the redlines we drop the week we should take the Tomahawk missiles it right when the Chinese President was there and Malaga. This is an administration it's also date the love intervening little intervening in that they keep the line cancel the overthrow the dictator but then they won't know it. Then they were going to go. I like Olivia agent, we come back in the breakout want to talk about some of the complexities of negotiating a trilateral agreement. Any because we done it and it's it's complex is multifaceted. It's very difficult to try to get Jordanians, Palestinians, Israelis, Arabs of all stripes and colors and religions to come together to come to an accord is a fantastically difficult exercise. This is why your support of the American Center for Law and Justice Center offices around the world is so essential right now Oaks Fort Worth ACLJ eight AC LJ.org its text donation AC LJ.org see the work – one issue that affects so ACLJ on the frontlines protecting your freedom is defending your rights in court in Congress and in the public arena American Center for Law and Justice is on your side. If you're already a member.

If you're not well this is the perfect time to stand with AC LJ.org where you can learn more about our life-changing work, member today AC LJ live from Washington DC Jay Sekulow and secular practices secular radio we are.

Take your photos to 164 31 two is with every step I really focusing in on a run because of what is been happy.

We see this type of target history repeating itself and we had a change in history had this little change in foreign policy the US that we had seen it decades. This was the America first. Much like the Reagan years, much more like that, but it should been decades since we assert herself. It's in Europe you could come along if you like but we don't need you. You don't so were to go ahead. We don't have to solve the Palestinian issue to make peace in the Middle East.

These other countries need to solve the passing issue to isolate Iran and to take out their head of the Iranian Revolutionary guard to cut off the head of Isis without my daddy and ended look at what happened in places like Sudan, which were where Osama bin Laden was his first first safe haven and the people rose up, and he overthrew Bashir now what I'm now they may also peace deal with Israel but I get nervous now about what happens how the bite evisceration coveted ruler. These deals they have the potential to do that they have the part if they don't support these deals at least diesel fresh new deal. These are very new that if you start tampering with whatever was agreed to who knows where Sudan goes right of the governing Council, but they have a huge amount of oil and they had Civil War their own country. They overthrew a dictator who was who was again supporting radical terrorist groups and and so you see the isolation of that of radical Islam to a point where we we were dealing with ISIS threats.

Our own country terrorism constantly. I don't wish that on our country at all. My compelled address that I get very nervous that you start acting this way again and that the enemies of America whether their actual states or state-sponsored terror groups estate.

Oh what we got this evisceration back in what they like to do. We hit them. They pay us money to stop is what Secretary of State Mike Pompeo suggests earlier last week, I knew all is law all raw is all creation and capabilities we know is is our own knowledge and must must is on the phone is senior counsel for the ACLJ Denver international law of approach to global affairs, or national director – also returned currently on states Army skip we've been talking about this Iran situation. How serious is this right now with the change of administration, and likely change the policy. We got looks like we have returned to Apollo for projecting weakness. Remember Mr. Obama said we run a lead from behind. It looks like were about ready to do that again. The way the Iranians are acting right now by arresting American nationals by rattling sabers and everything else indicates that they have absolutely no fear or respect of the incoming the bottom of the incoming bite administration. So I think this has the opportunity to undo all the progress made in the Middle East by the present crop to act decisively and got things done were about ready to go back to to our policy. Like Mr. Obama's where he would draw a red line in the sand that would be challenged and that he would back off and draw another one. He never rose to the occasion to project power and it seems to me that the Iranian regime respects power. They understand military power. The understand a pushback and I am afraid that this administration by some of their appointees and by statements made by the incoming President indicate weakness not strength since the last very quickly will they try to undo the Abraham date of the obligation. Yeah, I think they will absolutely vertically screw the whole thing up with the best intentions, they can our ways the right way and they will sabotage process made no think you're wicked and malicious in it there in half and their naïve and I waited in this segment of the broadcast taken a break God will come back with your calls. 800-684-3110, 100-684-3110 we say elections have consequences. This is one of the challenges facing Americans or substantial time in our Valley freedom sword constitutional rights are under attack more important than ever the American Center for Law and Justice frontlines checking your freedoms defending your rights in court in Congress and exceptional track record of success. But here's the bottom line we could not do our work without your support, we remain committed to protecting your religious and constitutional freedoms that remains our top priority, especially now during these challenging times. The American Center for Law and Justice is on your side, you're already a member. Thank you. Well, this is the perfect time to stand with AC LJ.org where you can learn more about our life-changing, member today AC LJ only when a society can agree that the most vulnerable invoice. Is there any hope for that culture to survive. And that's exactly what you are saying the American Center for Law and Justice, defendant the right to life, we've created a free powerful publication offering a panoramic view of the ACLJ's battle for the unborn is called will show you how you are personally publication includes all major ACLJ were fighting for the rights of pro-life activist ramifications 40 years later, when Obama care means many ways your membership is powering the right mission in life today online/certainties of your calls to the Austins call from Florida is exactly where people think it would trigger people ready for this mindset of where we are going to fight as a country where we had to fight back.

Now you start in their own government. These policies while they are putting in place the individuals they want to leave the discriminates. I think you know is key. What Rick said is it you look to who they place not just at the top is choosing to be the assistant secretary for Europe because that's where Iran's policies come that Ron policies. Who could be the master of France, the UK and Germany and he was the best of Germany and then you look at what office is asking about. It was her office call I was from Florida also welcome to secular radio you're on the air, quick question. Some wondering what level can the President will reenter the kind of treatment agreement without your input and approval from Congress trees is not a treaty is that JC POA was that's was this rainy day where you had said it could only go but wasn't.

It wasn't like a treaty. The Senate had to go back two thirds to remove it. Remember that right was something negotiated by a corker former Sen. Corker and Democrat supreme moderate Republican, and in the Democrats to say that we will have to approve it we can we can disapprove it. So how did that that that Kevin became mute because a mood because present from his platter that shows you how Much power President could immediately say were done yet.

So here's the thing that we look at legally at the AC LJ and that is Andy our ability to now say wait a minute. You can't just undo the Abraham records. You can't just jump back into the JC POA.

We have to look at every legal option to defend our own interests, that's exactly right. And that's exactly what we intend to do now more than ever, as we say you can just simply say this is a treaty and therefore the Senate approves it. Now there's a lot of influence and there's a lot of honor on his own action that the President can take when these in these matters that perhaps overstepped the line we have to be vigilant to make sure that he doesn't overstepped the line and undo all the tremendous work in the legacy of the Trump administration.

You know the Abraham records and that's a critical root issue that Abraham, the father of all the Semites that is the father of all in the Middle East, the father of us all. That was that.

There's a reason for words. Words have symbolism and meaning, and when he brought them all together and for the first time created this feeling of mutuality and Concorde among the people in the Middle East that was being done.

Let's hope to God that Biden does not back off of that in any way that we can prevent proceed on you Sue you to save a question. Could Biden move the embassy back out of Jerusalem today that legal media foreign policy powers where the President is at their ultimate that their highest level power you and remember this the reason it was moved to Jerusalem that was there was legislation in the 1990s. It was passed that allowed the President to move the embassy to Jerusalem requirement but allowed it to happen and finally, finally, even though Clint said he would do it and and boy said he was going to do it, Obama never said it was good to do it. Trump actually did it to the whole world was going on is getting inflamed and that instead what happened was we ball these agreements with all of these international, especially the lease and in the Muslim dominated countries now the question is, could he move it back legally, probably Wes, yes, politically. I don't know if he could, but yet the executive has a lot of power much more than I think most Americans realize. Which is why part of the reason Obama did not bring up the JC POA to the Senate. He knew it would not pass as a treaty. The executive power to enter into an agreement with Iran. Here's the thing the Jake you know our adversaries are constantly both formally and informally redoing risk assessment redoing cost-benefit analysis. The key to America's going to be strength and consistency and that the strength and consistency is what I doubt about the incoming skip this one to you to what your thoughts about that right.

I think the countries came into these agreements that were willing to make deals with Israel because they trusted the consistency of the policies of the Trump administration. So now that were right on the cusp of a new administration to be looking very closely at whether the Biden administration is going to continue down the these policies and if they don't I can unravel everything because of the United States becomes an untrustworthy partner in some of these agreements that much more reluctant to enter into agreements in the future we went to Jerusalem, the dedication of the Jerusalem Embassy was quite moving event and recognize what was already true that is true. Islam is the only heart and soul Jewish people, but it is the capital of the state of Israel, the nation of Israel. But I disagree with you as I think that will be political pressure and for him not to do it, but I could see in their negotiating the court de-escalate tensions with Iran. They do something like that will absolutely that I don't put that past him for one minute. This is another move toward appeasement.

And let's not forget appeasement was what led to World War II. I'm a historian and I think about these things and those are those are symbolic moves that have a great deal of concrete consequences day you know is that he might just simply say will tell you I'm going to do. I'm in the mood, the Jerusalem Embassy back to Tel Aviv and then you will you work it out with them how what a stupid assessment of the Iranians that would be how foolish. How naïve would that be very like Rick said Jordan such as those can be reinvested at the undersecretary talk braces and their heads are they don't want. Let me tell you something. The people that are the underlings that the staff level people. The career people that are not empowered. Let me tell you what they don't want the embassy in Jerusalem know they don't. I mean, I don't know if you make that move quickly. I don't know if that's the first thing on top of the agenda. I think the first at the top of the agenda is is rejoining these world you know climate accords the JC POA the writing which is the ready nuclear deal in getting back to those places that enough versus moving Embassy back in and but when I get nervous about. Remember we were we were fighting radical Islam.

The entire eight years, the Obama ministration is the present who I hated using those terms. Obama hated using those terms. We must not act like you're really at war with Islam and yet I finally felt like under the Trump administration. We were no longer war this month that those countries who got their act together they were sponsoring this terrorism so that the cutters that the Saudi's the UAE. They said we want to be part of the world will be part of this economy. I sort of stop so we were no longer war this month. We were under the Biden we really were under present truncated sort of put this travel ban sees Terry stop coming here or not.

This often found on the way the Supreme Court then I felt like your disinterested you think we were at war. This love and now we're making peace that's possible that it it it it said it was it was the kind of peace you make economic eight what's in our best interest is that the author love each other but is our best economic interest. At least we've got these countries to join the that the economy at a bigger level. Therefore, to a way that we didn't engage in China. We never fully did that that was not up to Trump or even Obama that comes back way way we further put, we now look at who, what, who is the superpower, the world of the data that the Joe Biden takes office and starts making these deals like this again acting like we need this rush back into deals with other countries because why you instead of punishing China for that for that that with covert and for the way they manipulate currency. You know it's a punishing the Iranians for recent re-arresting this American and enrich uranium to higher level really go back and do a deal that releases you sanctions gives them sanctions relief.

This is the danger. The real danger of Biden I think is that the quit that at the fastest point is the international level is that's where he is the most power to act wherewith Congress can't step it skip a master this last question you might pump sector states that Al Qaeda has a new homebase. It's called the Islamic Republic of Iran and as a result, bin Laden's wicked creation is poised to gain strength and capabilities what your thoughts right. I think Iran is the goal of destabilizing the entire region in the entire world. Al Qaeda is a tool. Although it's a Sony tool in a Shiite country they're willing to use whatever tools they can to destabilize.

Remember, Iran wants to be the major power in the Gulf region and are opposed by all the Sunni kingdoms in the in the Gulf area but have those kingdoms have compared to Iran. So what they're trying to do now is to get every ally they can to cause mayhem everywhere so that they can progress toward and take power: holy, it was written in Iraq since: holy alliance dealing with Russia, Iran, Turkey, Syria, and you made all this progress with the Abraham accords is gorgeous. I do feel I can last for years.

We were in a fight with Islam.

No you did not feel like that because peace deals were being cut with some of the largest Islamic countries the world the Israelis now were to take all the steps back with the same repeat retread bureaucrats that are to go with their anti-Israel policies to the United Nations plate like crazy and how do you do that is not protesting picketing United Nations if presenting a logical case it's working. Working with other international organizations. Now that we do have these new alignments that would block some of this, the whole world and your American Center for Law and Justice Center international affiliates are ready to take it to the next level support the work of the ACLJ do that at ACLJ.Ward right now ACLJ data.

Thank you. Well, this is the perfect time to stand with us ACLJ.where you can learn more about her life changing, member today ACLJ. This is why our broadcast is to keep the rest cover the same story for the next 24 hours. The inaugural and is there to be violence and all the troops are in DC and that's fine because it's a pet like the broad stories, but we know our listeners want to get into more deeper issues.

It's a vicious dog, repeat every 30 minutes on cable news and that's we got today is kind of reminder to you about what our broadcast is like, especially if your new listener as of the last four years which is very different than the previous. You know, eight years so if you been a longer list or that are broadcast. You know that this is where we have pivot back to when it's not just in support of policies and kinda bring you insider information, but now I must be honest were to be on the outside, fighting, pushing back that we were on the outside of you know that lots of places on Capitol Hill Associates across the country and internationally.

But if you if you're new to our broadcast you might not have heard these kind of shows before we get deep into the kind of threats that were going to kind of reimpose our own country because it is a good called Pennsylvania about the site and and it is reminder to about where how we got here in welcoming the secular radio you're on the eye so I'm calling today because I'm obviously going on the world and you know everything very very imperative at this point to know about it and to be educated that my question was how how did why why did Obama enter this nuclear agreement with Iran, and after some had removed us from the nuclear deal why Biden wants to move in on this again and then I know that that's one question.

But my next question is you either fighting the good fight and you are doing a good job and I and I'm happy that I can watch her show and know that there's people out there that are really doing doing something about it, and it's not just you know talk you guys are acting out there fighting that that second question was if you guys have seen. I mean you've seen for a very long time. Everything that's been happening in all the different policies with all his people doing all these different things like what is driving these people to do a lot of stuff that was going to be like the centerpiece for for the Obama foreign policy. What happened is you can't make deals with devils like that and think it's good to go. Well, it didn't it didn't go well. It was it was never right never worked.

They never were finding the enrichment of uranium, the Middle East just blew up. Yes. Blew up is the right word and it's not all back. Libya is Libya still in telling a failed state status right now that happened Obama Syria disaster because who still in power side and no ice is been taken up with a three-way conflict going on there with the Russians, the Syrians, Hezbollah, Iran, I suspect by student groups and also like were getting money from like Saudi princes, random Saudi princes and others in the in the Gulf states and at that Egypt you had the Muslim brotherhood takeover through an election. We supported we had been the US cover saying it was the fairest in preselection in Egypt for you when I read an event where they brag about how great it was the Muslim brotherhood. What was interesting though is that with the Muslim brotherhood was taken out of power by military dictatorship, a new military dictatorship inundated with his stop as he realizes a disaster had turkey going on goes I get disaster there. Everything was a disaster around the world and what that happens, who who benefits, who takes advantage China Russia is exactly right. If you look at it from a global perspective. That's why these policy differentials the ramifications of these policies west are very very significant. Well you can say that again. The second and third order effects. I think we don't even see today that will be the consequences. Some of these policies mean the danger can't be overstated. Iran is not our friend.

They right now they were in so many violations of the Aranda Coverdale, the arms control Association DC yesterday said that while it's not fully enrich the already possess twice the amount of uranium they need to produce a weapon or enriching it 20%. They've increase the number of centrifuges by thousands and just yesterday. They notified the International Atomic Energy Agency Association. That administration that they are now constructing an assembly line, it takes five must complete it and they're going to produce uranium metal which is the key component of a nuclear warhead. The danger of Aranda and the significance of our policy shape cannot be overstated.

Know and I want to briefly mention that we've done the negotiations we we did a negotiation for the recognition of the patriarch of Jerusalem, which we think we were negotiating a nuclear arms bill. I made it so complex.

He had to get the Damien's Israelis and Palestinians for great it was. Were there for weeks and was it resolved successfully.

But the point is you have to understand something to take sophisticated negotiation skills even nongovernmental like we are to engage these countries which we can through the UN to try to keep some semblance of policy on track because for the rest of the world doing what you said, right, there hasn't been the terror attacks but they been much more reduce and you don't feel like you're in the states currently in a war with Islam. Now you know that's you know, one of the legacies of the trump administration something like the Abraham record something like the new attitude toward and with respect to ISIS and the things that we have seen the withdraw from the Paris accords America first the things that we have seen like that. I fear and am very apprehensive as to whether this administration coming in is going to be able to continue that legacy of the music that Katie Couric is using words like deprogram the circuit to be deprogram. The Senate is 50-50. The neat we we've all seen you know, again we had a weird election because of the mail-in balloting and goggles her with covert it was bizarre. I don't wish that on any other election cycle ever again because I think it just made people question it was a good movie dog out when I can rock to be deprogram bracket and forget what it can be like to be to put America first and yet maybe that doesn't make you feel feel good when you're some European want to be in a big city like a baby live in New York or somewhere like I get it or the academia where you want to be like a European accepted like European and you were neither bobbing your shoes had to watch her back and worry about suicide bombers everywhere he went, or take massive terror attacks in places like Paris and London. We might just get stabbed ratably why you were going at a parliament, or if you were to concert Paris to buy just got in a massive going to take massacres or at a bar in Orlando where it where I got go sit it just kills your most people doubt, but all but you can feel good about feeling like Europeans and I think again that's what were going to be battling is that if that don't we all want to be accepted by your loved by you know how I would rather be walking around. I'm an American, you scared me that's what it was like the last four years and it's a lot better feeling is a lot better for I'm looking at when I went on to play the bike today and tomorrow where he talks about what is in rollback one of Ms.'s consent, legislation, immigration, there's a caravan right now with what many people 9000 9000 heading to the border.

They will arrive in the United States is and what you ask less. I guarantee you will not be the same reaction that this occurred in this patient has to what biting this patient and they also overcome it because mine said we have undertaken the right to sell quickly organized, takes no time, I think only of these are leftist groups. The father been put together. No time they take bases or people live the American Center for Law and Justice is here to fight these policies looks easy to fight.
