President Biden made an off-the-cuff remark near the end of his 30-minute speech in Warsaw, Poland on Saturday. Referring to Putin, he stated, "For God's sake, this man cannot remain in power." Biden's own Administration has already attempted to walk back the President's statement. The statement and the White House's subsequent backtrack raises many important questions. Jay and the rest of the Sekulow team break it all down for you today on the broadcast. This and more today on Sekulow.

Europe is now owned years you know you informed. Now, now, your President by NetSuite came at the conclusion of his speech in Poland and a lot of the speech was was well received. But this was an unplanned statement at the end that is created a lot of controversy.

It's it's kind of buying versus the Biden administration Europe you really look at this listener what he actually said God is saying this man cannot remain in power case of that was at the very conclusion of the speech now immediately within within an hour.

White House official said the President present his point was that Putin cannot be allowed to exercise power over his neighbors or for the region. He was, not discussing Putin's power in Russia or regime change. Secretary of State Anthony blinking said, I think the President the White House made the point last night that quite simply, Pres. Putin cannot be empowered to wage war engage in aggression against Ukraine or anyone else. Demetri pets call this the spokesperson for the Kremlin said this is a statement that is certainly alarming. We will continue to track the statement of the US President in the most attentive way. It's created quite a storm in Europe and it is required a lot of backtracking here and I say this is kind of buying versus the Biden administration. The President honestly said something that was all that he was there all day was and he saw the Ukrainian refugees. All the kids she saw people that have been injured in the day before that he was talking to soldiers on the day before that. He said you know about the people Ukraine when you go in there that I walk that back is military is not going in an understatement again for God sake. This man cannot remain in power now II ask you this question was a really honest question I want you an audience has to say about this at 1-800-684-3110. Is he right is the right this man.

Putin should not remain in power.

1-800-684-3110 because a lot of people under their breath were single. I can't believe buying said that but any I got the sense that a lot of people also saying he's right, I think so jazzing a lot of people say that is right. If the problem is a question of American leadership here and consistency in the administration.

If the President is going to make a statement like that and I think Presidents have to make statements they can just live on television prompters and monitors.

They have a right to make statements but they need to make them in the circumspect fashion and most important, they need to make them with the backing of their administration, and with the backing. In this case of our NATO allies. President micron warned against escalation that was his word. After Pres. Biden statement secretary blinking as you pointed out had to come out with a statement that explained this, he didn't really mean anything like power change or said MPower to wage war in aggression so you know you have to be consistent in the statements that you make and you have to show American leadership. And when you have walk backs when you have walk backs. It makes the President and of the United States look weak and that the last thing we want to do. Just my concern here is more the walk back and actually the statement. I know that's pretty controversial because I think what is going to Ukraine is is are war crimes not say they can be adjudicated international from a court bag not convinced that because of the jurisdictional issue, but I think this was an unprovoked attack and a serious 1-800-684-3110 now was that the right choice of words. Many of the walk back is any said it makes it look back.

We want your comments on this 1-800-684-3110 now also later in the broadcast really joined by Rick Grenell working at his sense on this and a couple other topics that are front and center globally. Right now including what's going on in the Gulf states and then also I want to make very very clear here. We got a lot of activity DAC LJ in the next couple of days. We want to talk about that support the work of theaclj@aclj.org will take your calls at 800-684-3110 is 1-800-684-3110 back to normal. The American Center for Law and were engaged in critical issues at home and abroad. Whether it's defending religious freedom. Protecting those who are persecuted for their faith covering corruption in the Washington bureaucracy fighting to protect life in the courts and in Congress ACLJ for that way. $20, $50 gift becomes 100 constitutional and only one. A society can agree 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 three powerful publication offering a panoramic view of the ACLJ's battle for the unborn is called mission will show you how you are personally sealed. Jesus/everybody this statement that the President made at the end of his speech in Warsaw Poland was a very direct and it is created quite strongly play for you again because it's the talk of the world right now and we will get our expert analysis of it is what he said God is saying this man cannot remain power or she was talking about Vladimir Putin. Now the question is the rollback took place from the White House immediately adjoining us now is Col. West Smith and Col. yet two problems here. One is Europe reacted negatively to the statement. I understand what I think the present was trying to say.

Quite frankly, and that this guy has wrecked havoc on innocent civilians as targeted hospitals and maternity wards. So what were crime kind of activity that same is an adjudication in the ICC about jurisdiction, but then the walk back was immediate. White House officials say the product presents point was put cannot be ought to exercise power over his neighbors, Anthony blinking, he should not be empowered to wage war engage in aggression but pass Goff says from Russia working to keep a really close eye on this planet with the President actually meant what you think, well, you know, it was an example of this is my own personal opinion of strong leadership from a President who usually is not strong and is very very inconsistent.

He's all over the board. On the other hand, it gave prudent and the Russians you know a message that they're going to use to their advantage that look you. He's trying to take down your elected leader of all this kind of stuff you gave them a PR your pieces of equipment that they would they would use because of this, but on the other hand, Pres. Biden, his strong suit is not leadership you know from that from the days of the French Revolution. There's a story of a gust, the true romantic who was a leader in the French Revolution and he was at his house and saw a crowd of people rushing by in his response was quick. My sword, I am their leader, and I must follow them.

We get a lot of that with this White House and you wonder who actually is in charge, but nowhere in and I mentioned you this morning I wrote a blog it went up today on our website know where to leadership. More important, more critical, or the lack of it. Then at the Presidential level in the United States and with Biden over the weekend week leadership generally was on full display. His words fail to inspire. At times they lack clarity and conviction as you been talking about already, and he equivocated first when asked about how he would respond. Vladimir Putin and then he overstated how he would respond to this kind of back-and-forth inconsistent your words and leadership does not provide comfort or security car sense of security to us or to the world. My question is you think present. Biden was right. The boat needs to go. It is logical and political considerations and that will take your calls, 1-800-684-3110, 1-800-684-3110 bills going Wyoming online. One bill walk the broadcaster on the air and if you want talk to us.

1-800-684-3110 go-ahead bill call, let me say something. Whatever Biden thinks of coming up to him. Verbally like that sounds very aggressive and I went from a young age that anything you say is like squeezing a tube of toothpaste. You really have time pulling it back in getting back in the tube release crime because he immediately went on their damage control mode is White House official officially said the President's point was a put cannot be allowed to exercise power over his neighbors or the region is not discussing Putin's power in Russia or regime change. Anthony blinking again said DC cannot be empowered to wage war integrate our aggression against Ukraine but pass Goff said, we are keeping a close eye on this.

So it's part of the problem here is the message from the United States was supposed to be hate Putin you need to go. You're acting like Hitler here you're going into these countries and destroying civilians.

You got that kind of dilemma going here if that's what he was trying to say if that's what Biden was trying to say.

Anyone have the rollback so the problem again is mixed messaging.

It's going to speak to the troops and say when you go to Ukraine you'll know what the people are dealing with their when these trips are supposedly not going to Ukraine so that's part of the problem at all this and he is not just the message but then the retraction of the metadata. The reframing of the message. The inconsistency is what's the problem here and it's a terrible inconsistency talking about responding in kind talking about troops being in context of chemical and chemical weapons. Talking about the things that you don't really intend to say but later you have to have them taken back by people who you are.

Your subordinates. This all shows a failure of leadership.

And that's what the problem here is a failure of leadership. You've got to be consistent in what you say and as Wes pointed out in the French Revolution.

I loved the analogy, the people are on the rampage they're fighting. I have to get my sword and follow them and that's what the President is saying here. You're the leader of the free world. You've got to be careful what you say whether you mean it or not, you need to be consistent in your administration has to fall you not walk you back last week you had, you had the statement with the troops it when you get to Ukraine inside Ukraine. You know what were fighting about right back sent the wrong signal then you had. Don't forget this one sanctions deter said the administration when Joe Biden says sanctions are never deterrent are not deterrence, and they had a role all the specs of the image of this blog on leadership up Wes but this is where the mixed message. And finally, I'm not so sure Putin is wrong.

I mean, by Ms. Rawlins that was about but now there is the elected President of Russia so we don't going toppling governments as nonurgent in general but but he's doing very dangerous things is doing very dangerous things. I think the sentiment of 95% of the world is that food must go.

The question is whether or not the President should've said, but in fact I think it is a true statement.

Ironically J in this report of what I talk about in my piece on the website. Strong leadership that's clear and consistent consistency. It is important that is the surest way to avoid war and conflict.

Most of the time our perception perception of weakness or that were vacillating by our enemies actually invites aggression to take a distinctive stand does not provoke a wider war, in spite of the Biden administration's fear of provoking a lot of work. We need consistency. We need conviction. We need clarity and as I say in my article on the website. I plead with with Mr. Pres., present by net did it personally in the website. Please lead us. We need a leader of the world needs a leader Zielinski in his address to our Congress, and Mr. Pres. we need for you to be the leader of the Lipsky is up the up his rhetoric against the United States and against NATO. How do you read that quickly. What I think he's walking an expert yet he's deaf. He's 100. Very very fine line. He appreciates what we've done and yet he's trying to is much as he can without losing our support exert pressure on us to do more and there are a lot of things were not doing to support Ukraine that we can do without getting involved personally against Russia.

Jack is coming from Tennessee's online three hi Zach, hello daughter, I agree with far more than I did. Joe Biden, but the company said he didn't understand that that his words could move markets as the President. I looked important deficits in social or diplomatic blunder. Why are we surprised at this point.

Why do we keep going to get out into his Mrs. question do you think that the sentiment that goes right or wrong.

I think you should go yes but let's not cover up the call to You to do but it is been saying stupid things were here this is that they spent famously.

It was diving was about gates and said that no Joe Byington on the wrong side of every foreign policy decision for the last 40 years. The problem is the is is Wes.

My name is on the is the inconsistency in all of this and that's what drives the confusion and that's what creates the tunnel tear and that's why you know you make that statement and you are affecting markets and it affects people the way they perceive situations. Let's go to Tim in California line 1 hi Jim Walter what Joe Biden has shown he does not have any ownership guilt at all. Here know what to do. You know it's interesting here, even if he was correct with the sentiment glass that was not the way to do it know absolutely that is add-on tag online. It was it was. I pray to Jesus that he will police to fill the Teleprompter don't ad lib., but when he does, it usually does not have a good outcome.

We need strong, decisive, clear leadership and unfortunately were not getting that at this point and then death, to the detriment not only of of Americans who who will you always want to present to be a good leader. It's also impacting the entire world header and Facebook has interesting comments are put does need to go, but he probably shouldn't have set it on that platform.

The President seems to have no filter.

That's exactly the correct slave and he doesn't realize the import of the statements that he makes in the position that he holds. He's the President of the strongest nation in the world, the biggest economy. The biggest military the most influence on mean English is spoken throughout the world because of the American cultural influences. We have a country that's great and that's has tentacles and spread everywhere when you make a statement as President of the United States.

You need to think about what you say and the implications of that statement not only for your own country America first in my opinion, but for your allies what the NATO people are thinking behind you what the nations of the world are thinking when you make that remark and he doesn't have a filter he see makes and blurts out things that shows this remarkable lack of leadership but as you said in quoting Sec. Gates, J.

He has been on the wrong side of foreign relations and diplomatic policy for 40 years. Why is he going to change now discuss all this and more coming up to get an update on major litigation cases of ACLJ not over the next six weeks. Over the next few days. Your stay tuned for that. All of this happened because you support the work of the ACLJ were near the end of our month. The matching challenge will be behind for Mark but ACLJ.org ACLJ.org.

Any amount you donate were getting a matching gift for. We encourage you to do that ACLJ.ORT back more than just a moment, only one. A society can agree 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 will show you how you are personally sealed. Jesus/the American Center for Law and Justice were engaged in critical issues at home and abroad. Whether it's defending religious freedom. Protecting those face covering corruption in Washington fighting to protect life in the courts and in Congress ACLJ for that.

We are grateful. Now there's an opportunity for you to help in the way comes 20×100 constitutional and get back to the global scene just a minute, but we got some really important work to discuss here and we want if you're watching on our social media applications. Let me encourage you if you're on on that you should go to rumble and I will say that because I just about every other week. Now we have an incident with Facebook, and as has happened in the past two we get we do get resolved and remove these flags or they downgrade the flag, whatever they do to their how they do this but you know what I want to worry about being censored over it rumble and there's a link to rumble writer on the Facebook been on Facebook so I encourage you to head over there and tell your friends to go there to ensure with your friends.

We got a lot of work going on domestically to here in the United States and joining us right now senior counsel for the ACLJ Abby Sutherland who's got multiple cases in court.

Let's start with what's the first one you well you got a trial can when I can get into details but this trial is like an 72 hours.

Yet a major hearing coming up on it on religion case connections in a few days. On Thursday afternoon and you know a lot of this gossiper, the jerk judge's order Friday when I can discuss it, but it's a big it's a big religious use case we can say is that we are representing a religious nonprofit organization which we did fairly often ACLJ remains on the front lines in defending these organizations which are regularly the target of discriminatory conduct acts, and especially by government entities that will be representing a religious organization on Thursday afternoon in court injunction hearing winter injunction hearing, then you got another case we can talk about because it's up to the 11th circuit Court of Appeals, and that covers kind the southeastern United States involving a group called vision warriors tells about that vision wires and religious nonprofit organization chart and a ministry for individuals recovering from addiction and amazing ministry and said they purchased a piece of property in Cherokee County, Georgia did their due diligence in making sure that they lead obtain sanding appraisal at the US West permitted on and said based upon that reliance they purchased the property and then shortly thereafter after neighborhood opposition and based upon the type of individuals that this ministry would be serving a County began to take action to revoke their sanding certification that is this the one or is it another one that you got where they kept changing the zoning on the organization even though they initially comply with the land where they read that the sanding certification got they had the zoning certification of okay listen to this post so that ministry qualified under the existing zoning rules and regulations for the County.

Then what happens to me on the property and in the County began taking action against and the first of which is terror that the certification of sanding that was initially initiated in the second action, they began to amended their zoning ordinance has said that you said that would likely accurately describe our ministry under the current sanding ordinance and said that those would no longer be options so people understand they go when they get their zoning the zoning spine.

They go there and they open up, they start their ministry, which is really helping people that are in need is a big piece of property, and if these are all over the place like this all over the country and then they change the zoning and then they change the zoning again to try to zone out the actual use upon which any they got their initial zoning in the first place.

That's right is an inconsistency of glaring inconsistency on the part of the county in this and I think it's really prompted by the fact that they don't that's a political issue that the landowners and the people around you don't like the fact that there is this entity and their menstrual it's been there forever, but this is the wrong thing that the district judge has done in word and appealing that J, the 11th circuit United States Court of Appeals, and we expect to win in that case, but Abby is spearheading that in doing a fantastic job. Let me say okay so talk about spearheading it. Let me clarify here for everybody's they know what's at stake. Could you imagine, you operate your organization your business. Even whatever it is we meet the zoning requirements of the city and are operating your business or ministry. Whatever it might be that all of a sudden the city says because I get some community pressure not based on real complaints by the way you complain about the people they are they the unbelievably successful track record and what they do in recovery.

But they then change the rule. Then change the rule again to make sure that what you're doing cannot comply retroactively right is that what happened here exactly what happened here and when you take a look at the sanding or not such a religious nonprofit organization and hold on worship services regularly on the property and by the way how this property had been used for 30 years prior, and they were not proposing a yeast that is any different and and when it taken place on the property for 30+ years.

The only difference is that the individuals that this ministry would be serving for individuals recovering from action, which by the way ministry site has had excellent track records may serve the community.

There is never an incident and I have not been with regard to this particular ministry on the property and many of the situation. What is been complaints were people wondering about other people's property and cause harm or damage exactly no founded reasons for concern or complaint here may persist down like the ministry serves you will let you know that the Casa prima sometimes not like that. But that's not. You can't retroactively change rules and regulations now that case is going on and that is at the 11th circuit Court of Appeals application got Thursday is before the District Court@then there's another one right, there's 1/3 one.

It's our prayer band case talks about it on several occasions, oral argument is scheduled in our case on April 28 and already zapping folks within a basically a month, four weeks good and here we represent a city in Ocala, Florida, and who allowed a prayer vigil to take place in response to a crime spree and their neighbor had Eric Eric concern within the neighborhood about increased crime and crime spree throughout the community were this portion of the community. So what happens what what causes this great tumult and well the defendant individuals in the community don't like the fact that the community is responding with prayer left the community.

It was not CFS dolphin officials allow the net to take place. Attended the event and offered prayer as chaplains have for hundreds of years. That's often likely what they did right and in times of crisis, and there were and for individuals that oppose debt and raised a lot of opposition in regards to how the community decided to gather and respond.

It was over prayer vigil at last and they demanded that the city shut the prayer vigil down and they did not. They argued that the city should not allow the private alternate for this report. District Court said there were several claims establishment class primarily that the primary line and the line that we are appealing and that it will get a million spread about the spokes in the year 2022.

Your cases I argued in the 1980s four years later and here we are again because it's prayer and they always think they can treat prayer differently. Well, they can't. And prayer is protected activity under the First Amendment is said Justice O'Connor, and I can give you a dozen cases but go ahead now that's true prayer is also protected activity under the law of God in my opinion the right to intercede and to pray to the Lord for guidance and for wisdom in doing things and that's what we do and what we have the right to do under our First Amendment and our Constitution. The District Court was wrong and we've taken the District Court up to the 11th circuit again. We seem to be living in the 11th circuit in the southeastern part of the United States and as Abby said.

That case is going to be argued in April in Montgomery, Alabama, and we hope that the Court of Appeals rectifies this horrible thing against prayer folks here seeing the activities here will give you analysis on the global situation because we have the experts here on our staff very corking federal court in three major cases in just the next month.

All because of your support for the American Center for Law and Justice. Let me encourage you go to ACLJ.org for matching count tells him what that means is if you donate $10, $20, whatever might be. We get a matching your fourth since 20 2040 ACLJ.org ACLJ.org to have your gift match. We encourage you to do that today we get near the end of the month a lot more ahead in the next half hour. The broadcast of the American Center for on critical issues at home and abroad for limited time you can participate in the ACLJ matching challenge for every dollar you donate $10 becomes 20 $50 gift becomes 100 checking the constitutional and religious freedoms to you and your family. You forgive today online keeping you informed and now is secular rockets of your watching an interim social media plan. Let me encourage you to share this with your friends.

But I will tell you also. If you're watching the videos social media platforms had over the rumble you really want to head over to rubble to mark as you talk about big tech and free speech and we talk about that. I suspect that there could be some censorship going on sorting encourage you to go to rumble them, but to get used to it.

Now it's right there reportedly printed on her comments he could go right over there, it's easy to do. I encourage you to do that because it over rumble I don't worry about us being censored. Talking about censorship. It may be helpful for the President because it is been a few gaps over the last few days. Let me set those back. The first major one on this trip overseas was it Vladimir Putin utilizes chemical weapons present binds that we will respond in kind. That was on Thursday. We will spine in kind. We have that here it is to clarify how chemical weapons could chemical weapons were used in Ukraine. Would that trigger a military stock response from NATO and would trigger response time for the cross we make that decision is not you would wish it would trigger a response in kind. So what does that mean what I mean and simple grammar. If you mean in kind. It's in the same way if you say chemical response and you say were going to respond in kind.

What other inference can you draw from that. Other then chemical weapons tit for tat.

I mean, it's so simple and that again shows a failure of leadership and a failure to think before you talk. Then we had to Gath when the President went into when this is you know pointing this out to talk to the troops about Ukraine and what's happening there and he said this, there see women young people stand stem from this and I'm not leaving only my ground and credible. You can see when they hear their the idea there was a corset. The United States isn't going to commit troops to actually go into Ukraine, but we did at training troops there. However, the White House walk that one back and then of course the latest of the gap do I call it that was the one about the President of Russia that has real complications.

This created a quite a stir in Europe. As you can imagine what happened God is saying this man cannot remain.

Now a lot of people share that sentiment and we want your voice on that at 1-800-684-3110 was that the way to say it will.

The White House then pulled all that back to the present point was that Putin cannot be allowed to exercise power over his neighbors.

We are not discussing a power change in Russia or regime change at the blinking present cannot be empowered to wage war or engage in aggression against Ukraine or anyone else would like to call Israel's calling from Connecticut on line 6. Israel what the broadcaster on their my culture by the turmoil of the country but nonetheless I think is right when he said we gotta get that man out of power to the land in America.

But Trump was present.

Now it would never happen either. But the fact of the matter is that Joe Biden was talking to Vladimir Putin and that is what's created the political stir. Even if you think Vladimir Putin should go is that the role of the United States or NATO to do that in the White House is made clear.

That's not right, coming up would be joined by former director of national intelligence ambassador to Germany Rick Burnell will ask him his thoughts on all of this will take your calls at 1-800-684-3110.

What do you think of the situation with Vladimir Putin's comment from Pres. Biden Vladimir Putin, one 800 684 31 Teddy was right wrong was a mistake to make it even if you thought it was right 1-800-684-3110. What about the way they go quickly.

Correcting is amazing to me the way they quickly correct. Everything they got a machine support the work of the ACLJ also ACLJ.O RT that's ACLJ.over the matching challenge campaign coming up next on the broadcast would be joined by our senior advisor on national security Rick Burnell, the American Center for Law and were engaged in critical issues at home and abroad. Whether it's defending religious freedom. Protecting those covering corruption in the Washington bureaucracy fighting to protect life courts and in Congress ACLJ for that.

We are grateful others in a way 20 oh becomes 100 constitutional and religious freedoms 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, 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 sealed. Lowering the right question for you/everyone statement by Joe Biden unintentional.

Maybe it was certainly not Scripture let me play it for you. Again, the Ruby asking Rick Burnell for his comments on this was going to hear Joe Biden were saying this man cannot remain written words have consequences. Elections have consequences words or consequences, even if you agree with this guy. Not wanting to be in not having this guy still empowered was that the place and was at the way to handle this crisis in Ukraine and our focus should be on helping Ukraine what Joe Biden just did was make the goal of defeating Russia and that's a problem when it comes to I would say the incredible task of achieving that goal, as well as the fact that they are a nuclear power and have a permanent seat at the UN, and so I think that the analysis from people to say look at if somehow showing the raw sentences and teaching them a lesson and showing them that they they can bully and somehow legally push them back is a tangential benefit. Great because this bullying, you know cannot continue to happen.

We certainly have seen them grab elected and redesign of the European borders under Obama now under Biden, but I think the strategic mistake here and let's be honest, the White House also thought it was a strategic mistake because they immediately jumped to try to correct it is trying to say that our goal is somehow defeating Russia. This comes on the heel of another misstatement. Rick and that is about chemical weapons use. So let's play that will mostly bite number. I will have the bite number, but glad it's the reporter asking Joe Biden about chemical weapons to clarify on chemical weapons could chemical weapons were used in Ukraine would trigger a military stock response from NATO would trigger a response time for the cross we make that decision is right so again when you wrinkled in diplomatic terms, Rick and you were diplomat for many many years. When you say response in kind. It immediately triggers well up there and use chemical weapons were to do the same. Now he says that what they corrected. That one just like they corrected. Well, he didn't mean troops in Ukraine even though he said when you get to Ukraine so you ask yourself this is showing a weakness in American leadership here. If you rewind us back to the summer of 2020. There were all sorts of warning signs that said that Joe Biden is somebody who is constantly inarticulate makes mistakes and gas and the media just chalk that up to old uncle Joe, and we know that he says things that he shouldn't, but as President of the United States. All of his musings. All of his gas if you will all of his problems, show weakness for the United States and their strategically terrible for us and so I think that as a spokesperson for the United States government, the senior spokesperson that Joe Biden is as President of the United States, the leader of the free world. I think that he is really doing Americans a disservice when he is so prone to gaffe after gap and makes us less safe and less secure. Miss you this Bob Gates famously said Joe Bynes been wrong in every major foreign policy decision, 40 years now is the President, the United States was not the vice President anymore is not just the senator and Foreign Relations Committee had is the President of the United States.

This is the mixed messaging here and the correcting is a daily thing and we got a real crisis in Ukraine, which is affecting all of Europe. As you just said when you got the head of state.

The main communicator if you will of the government. This is great. Our allies are nervous, very nervous and actually seven Germany have started correcting this and saying that this is not making Europe say when Joe Biden is talking about going after Putin and with regime change again. We need to emphasize that Russia is fiercely that after Putin is the bad actor here and morally. We can look at the situation and the cheering for Ukraine. Of course, but we have to think about what's best for the United States in these situations and somehow articulating that Russ's defeat is our goal.

Our goal is to help Ukraine goal is to stop this war to stop the violence and we should be doing it peacefully and diplomatically and yet that's not what's happening. I have to finish that this J just say I'm struck with you know that the admonishment that we always hear is be careful when you hire a senator to be present United States because they never really got a Chief Executive Officer Matt and to go up and so and 40 years of Joe Biden voting thinks that that's how you actually get things done is just the date one action one and done type action. One phone call here listing Tara calling from California on line 1 Junior on their joining with Rick will go ahead. Icon then. I held her to love our enemies and pray for those who despitefully use us now. There's been a lot of talk about whether Vladimir Putin is senile. Well, you cannot.

7 1/2 months older than I am. I don't know that he's senile so he may meaning effectively and printer Biden's comment about this man cannot be allowed to go on for a speech comment for his prayer closet you right in this context it that statement. The President binds the halls of European parliaments rather dramatically in a very short period of time, but you raised it very interesting. I don't think Rick Vladimir Putin is insane. I mean I think he's dangerous, diabolical, but he wants.

This is what he wants. He knew his problem is he to get what he wants when he got inside of you. Great something happened that I think he recently flipped. I don't know what is something that close to death or seen that there or something but he's reckless and man-to-man like I like it.I want to point out one thing that I think Tara said which is really good and she really separated what Tara was saying is there's a difference between our individual behavior and when we are the leader of governments, and I actually believe that I say at the UN all the time is that people are equal countries are not equal.

And we have to distinguish between what we do personally what the Bible teaches us to do our values personally. 121 is much different than what how countries act countries actually go to war sometimes to protect their people countries do things that are different than what individuals do. Individuals can be nice and forgiving and full of grace but I don't think that countries that same way they have responsibilities and so what Joe Biden did I think should have been kept to himself and his personal opinion could've been in his prayer closet. As Tara says, but acting as the President of the United States. It's reckless, dangerous Europeans think that there laissez and Americans are less safe.

So we got also coming up on it into a blink is good be attending this historic Israeli Arab summit amid the Iran deal tensions that are going on right now all talk about that for a moment Rick because that whole event that kind of settlement between the Arab countries and states and Israel would not happen and I think that your administration and the tremendous progress we made there. What what you expect from this while we certainly will thank you Donna, thank you Jerry Kirzner. Thank you, Mike Pompeo and David Friedman Berkowitz when I hear any of that but they should be thanking the Americans I work hard on and I think that we also for me. It's a lesson on the intelligence. Remember the intelligence community told us we see World War III if we moved our embassies in Jerusalem didn't happen through I think the intelligence community missed what's happening in in Russia and Ukraine with Russia and the Ukrainians were much more ready to fight than what our intelligence community told us that said that Russia would just roll right over.

We got a problem with the intelligence community, but in terms of what's happening in Israel right now. Let's celebrate it. It's fantastic. Anthony Lincoln gets a a small victory here gets to cut the ribbon on all the heavy work that the trumpet ministration. But he said it's a good moment for the United States that this is happening is certainly a great moment for Israel and its partners now in the region. Arab country partners in the region. Who would've ever thought Rick Grenell thank you for some much for your insight and for your being part of the team here at the ACLJ folks were going to break we be joined by Prof. Harry Hutchison just a moment.

Biden statement when he said this for God's sake. This man cannot remain. That was in reference to Vladimir Putin's presence said that in Warsaw Poland. The White House immediately walked it back saying he doesn't mean you shouldn't be in power in Russia, but that he should be quote empowered to take action against neighboring countries like Ukraine.

Interesting though pets copy the major best cop who's in charge of the media for four Russia. The Russian government said were watching this very, very carefully we ask your thoughts on this at 1-800-684-3110. Let me go right to John and Nevada John you're on the air like Barry Barry so not good banker who and but it put their older and other.

So let's talk about that for a moment here.

We haven't gotten your impression yet on the statement. What is your sense of the actual statement that was made about what appear to be regime change in the time it was made. What was your sense well I thought this statement.

In particular, you couldn't make it as long as you have arguments and facts and information to support it. And so the question becomes, did Pres. Biden have full possession of all the geopolitical consequences of his statement did Pres. Biden have any information. For instance, on who would likely be successor. Would he be better or worse. We got read for instance of Saddam Hussein did that improve the geopolitical atmosphere in the Middle East. I think the answer is no and so I think those are questions that need to be answered and answered quite clearly before you go off apparently half cocked and make a particular statement that your own administration walked back and they walked it back in and like multiple levels whets the concern was that it is a caller said what about the troops and we we need a President that we can trust is consistent and clear the troops especially need a commander-in-chief that they can trust who's clear in what he saying you because military power you know it. It is a great thing is you mentioned earlier in the broadcast were the strongest military in the world largest economy in the world military power and perception that we have the will to use it is one of the best ways to avoid a war but on the other hand, in the Army we we had phrased we talked about weekly in the survey and we talk about consequences. We talked about second and third order effects both your statements and your actions so that you can say something and you have no idea the repercussions of that down the line in subtle but significant ways and this is so true for anyone who's the President of the United States and the other thing Jake is gas over the weekend. They really detracted from the importance and the significance of what he was doing.

This was a great and important trip to meet Europe's leaders NATO's leaders to come up with United States against Britain and Russia so important and yet it's been diminished and put the gallbladder because of this, yet you know I thought the NATO meeting Andy we could recover the ministry of presence. I think Job I made the right move by going to Europe for the NATO meeting. I thought that was the right ministry of presence. Oh yeah, absolutely needed to be very needed to be in Brussels for the NATO meeting with the other leaders and be there himself and not send a surrogate or a secondary and certainly not his VP and by being there and being present and being engaged in showing that America had an active part in that or which we do a very significant role that was very important but unfortunately his subsequent acts undid so much of the good that was done by him being present and that started with the chemical weapon incline thing and it may NATO said were not doing that and then it started with sanctions don't work and then there's ministration thing sanctions do work and of course you had US troops when you're in Ukraine you'll see what were talking about, fight, wise, and then of course you had the Putin one week. Interesting comments coming in a panel on Facebook rights. Can the Russian people vote for regime change now technically Harry technically they can. There are elections for the President and prime minister. But in reality, do you think those elections mean anything in this current environment in Russia. Now I don't in large part because Putin consistently wins roughly I think it's 70 to 80% of the vote number two.

Some people who are disinclined to support may see what Biden has sat as a tack on Russian sovereignty and the ability of the Russian people to decide their own particular freight but also I think it's important to keep in mind that Pres. Biden statement was somewhat reckless in the sense that he exposes Western Europe to the consequences of his statements and one of the things that the Russians may indeed considering the short run, even though they may indeed be short of cash is to shut off natural gas to Western Europe and so I think there are so many consequences attached to Pres. Biden statement. Many people question whether or not he's in full possession and full control of his own administration. That's the question there seems to be some serious attention because the way they roll those things back but he didn't say Anthony blanket says what he meant was empowered to empower him. Not he should be taken out about what somebody said is it taken out about interesting, Candy said so much focus on buying statements abroad. I feel like they are using them to distract from all the pain were failing economically at home absolutely.

I think that's correct, it's very important to keep in mind that inflation is now approaching a 70 year record that gas prices are exploding. Natural gas prices are also going up. Fertilizer prices are going up much of the fertilizer. Much of the wheat comes from where Ukraine and Russia.

All of these things are basically re-ordering the domestic economy and the Biden administration seems to lack the ability to do two things at once. In other words help the American people while simultaneously projecting US strength abroad and you look at the statements that are made and were sending a very mixed signal to our allies as well. This is concerning to me J because we are sending a signal to our European allies into the world that we do not have a consistent policy and it consistently focused and knowledgeable leader. The President has got to be the spokesman, the leader, he asked to speak with a unitary voice like a unitary executive in the United States. The military has the support of the diplomats have to support them and your pastor supported him and he is not doing that he is not sending across that kind of message and that that is very bad, very bad policy and a very bad face that the United States is putting on really quickly, really quick here, less the statement about Ukrainian troops. That may pull that back very quickly pulled it back. I I think, and I hope it was a complete mistake that the present.We do not want to go there.
