This is Jay Sekulow the ACLJ's fight for you against the radical left's agenda in human form and now this is what I hear from you also be a seal J is a matching Jones bumping we are getting near the very end of this month. We are close to what were our goal is were about, but it was 3% behind last year. I want to kinda hit that goal again so were encouraging the sport were to be ACLJ up ACLJ.org on today's broadcast. We are going to take a look at kind of the depth and scope of the American Center for Law and Justice will focus on some of her work on the international front, which includes, by the way, the United Nations, our office in Jerusalem. Of course, and last year we started this initiative called a seal J more now more than ever in Logan that was your kind brainchild on that tells them about what that was a little about the additions we made a lot of things happened in 2020. As we all can remember and we decided that the ACLJ as things were heating up. Beginning in 2021, the organization as we kind of felt you finding that sort of their determining phrase that would take us through the next year and now it's been a year after was that the ACLJ was needed more than ever, and that has certainly been the case. As we have seen an interesting time in America. Interesting time in the world that even leads up to recently.

With the overturning of Roe versus Wade how the ACLJ's fight is needed more than ever, and that was what you know folks for everybody. Remember, this was a forty-year fight litigation loss is really over.

No, I mean I would gotta deal with the states, but to remove the obstacle of a constitutional right to take the life of an unborn child, which is contrary to moral values to spiritual values to Christian principles, Judeo-Christian principles, getting that removed as is quote constitutional right was a big step now would be poor says we've been talking about. We gotta fight this on a state-by-state level and don't kid yourself permit these radical groups don't want life protected but we also made some big additions in 2021 we brought on the former director of national intelligence, Rick Cornell as a senior advisor to the ACLJ of national security and intelligence we brought on the former Secretary of State of United States of America Mike Pompeo was also the director of the CIA. We brought in to members of the former administrations cabinet as part of the ACLJ and this was to broaden the scope and effectiveness of our work but also to be able to give you insight into what's happening. We've expanded our office work in Jerusalem with now someone dedicated in our office in Jerusalem. Alveolar dedicated offices. It is really had reports of them every week. IMC have Rick and Mike which a been a a he said during times of uncertainty. It's interesting here perspective of someone who recently lived. It was a course that was all 2021 halfway through 2022.

Right now the month of July were still expanding. Things are growing but obviously coming. We do know there is ill financial stresses.

There's economic downturns are happening right now there's inflation that is happening.

Gas prices, all of those things are compounded but doesn't mean the work here at the ACLJ stops does the remainder goes on because it keeps going. He did through 2020 through 2021 will continue in the foreseeable future to continue to fight for your rights and to give you guys the best amount of information on what's actually happening is that something you hear a lot of people bloviate and say out to tell you about how horrible things are to give you no hope, and they give you no pathway to any sort of change.

That's what we do differently here that a lot of places you may hear a radio show and kinda combine this with all the other conservative talk during shows you hear the difference is those guys giving your opinion. Nothing wrong with it.

They give the opinion really opinion in the record do the work that's right man it's always been a hallmark is not just talking about it. Admin is not the moment talking about that's important to educate people, but also doing something about offering hope in trying and difficult times so we will encourage you is we get ready to put the last week here of our matching challenging year to go to ACLJ.Horovitz ACLJ.org any man to donate working at a matching gift or as I visit ACLJ that are not only to donate to the incredible concert for doing that. Every donation made effectively doubles if you get $10 or some of the other rinsing maps that make it 20 and so on and so on. Again that is ACLJ.org go there. For more information. Donate. I know we have a lot listers sorority calling and who work in a run pro-life practices around the country.

I would love to hear from you folks at 1-800-684-3110. He views volunteer there because you been under attack. Literally, we've seen the firebombings we've seen the receiving the spray-painted arson.

We seem just again the vandalism. The threats by pro-abortion radicals against pro-life pregnancy centers to force no one to come in their doors. But if you do course, they are going to provide you with information how you can continue your pregnancy and if you need to adoption. If you need financial assistance. If you need help with food or how to take care of your child. They are there that they are nonprofit they provide this to women were about to be joined by Kelly Ross, who runs Piedmont women centers throughout South Carolina in the upstate of South Carolina that I know well it worked with Piedmont and seen one of their newest locations as well. Just a few years ago, but I want to play the sound from Elizabeth Warren this is Sen. Warner. This is by the way, what we have been fighting in states like her so in New York and California and now she wants it done in Massachusetts take a listen to Elizabeth Warren is are looking for termination, I would walk through this with Kelly Ross who is the CEO of Piedmont women center that's Piedmont women's center.org. In South Carolina they get multiple locations. Kelly, thanks for joining us today on secular appreciate you being with her when I saw this was before us is really helping you Kelly on the show because I want to start with this first Kelly did you mislead women when they come through your doors.

The fact that you are not an abortion clinic on our website.

We actually make it clear that we do not perk bad reckoning or referral for an abortion and our location there on Grove Road and grain bullet across the street from an abortion clinic and get the money comes in our office believing there at the abortion clinic and they say that they're there for their portion.

We just clearly tell them we do not provide, recommend or refer for abortion.

Here are the services that we provide and we would love to assist you today assistance Kelly because Warren called the torch is so absurd that the language, but we have seen, maybe South Carolina may be seeing these attempts in in these much more liberal states to try to shut down these proactive percent upper lipases. That is their goal. They see this is the number one. Even with the overturning of Roe versus Wade. You all are on the front lines. I would say that about the pro-life crazy sinners you the answer to the question of what are you all going to do if Roe versus Wade was overturned and the infrastructures Artie there Kelly because you guys have been doing this work you have these organizations set up to help women if they are in a situation in a pregnancy which they're not sure how to move forward and how they can move forward and you provide them the services they need and they use the word torture to describe the work you do and I encourage people go look at Piedmont women centers website look at that one of the new facilities and see if if the word torture would make since anything use but it's the rhetoric does, so that your staff is under threat.

It's to make it difficult to do your job and ultimately they want to shut you down. Kelly funding from the government, which I think as part of their problem.

If we get money from the government and they would be able to control us and tell us what to do and how to provide compassionate care in United care starts at Piedmont women center and a host of 10,000+ pregnancy centers across this nation and I can guarantee you none of us torture when and what we do is we provide them what Planned Parenthood does not care somebody who is willing to listen to their current situation and circumstance, and that's what Planned Parenthood does not get excellent abortion clinics don't date.

Actually, they talk about choice, but do not provide choice and provide a singular unilateral option in the last time I heard a singular unilateral option is not awake at Piedmont women center and at other pregnancy centers across this country. What we actually did it help people look at their current situation. We listen to where they are with their circumstances and we can provide them options, whether that's creating a parenting plan. Whether that's creating an adoption plan. Whether there some assistance that they need, whether it's materially financially.

We have all of the resources and are grateful that there were 30 years and I'll be honest with you.

We've been feeling under some pretty difficult circumstances underwrite the way I'm ecstatic to see how the pregnancy care movement grows and expands.

Now that the weight of when Kennedy lifted and I'm not ashamed of what we day proud of what we do and how we serve clients and we had a client command that I can just hear the story real quickly shaking EN seeking an abortion and we explained to work and we were and what we do and she decided to stay and we were able to provide her pregnant and her ultrasound and the nurse he was providing her ultrasound sheet of why we want to abort this baby because I don't know who the father is and the nurse who is providing the ultrasound sheet that will that's not as important as knowing who the mother is not actually torch place and I think that is what our country desperately needs this young woman who encouraged and on her survey. We survey every client is slightly far the worst and she gave a 10 out of 10 and she put on their new abortion torture porn it's coming from. I was really no way to shut you all down because you are the alternatives and in the postwar world even more so, and you've Artie been established. Like you said for 30+ years doing this work right across the street from an abortion clinic she comes in your doors again. It's disses these are adults they get to make the decision you tell them right up front we don't do this. This is what we do, do you want to talk to us about it or willing to talk about it. You still don't have to do it were what we hope you do, but because you're an adult, he can walk out here Velcro strips abortion click if you want to know what is is is stopping them from doing that.

At the same time. Joe wants to talk to because you provide this care for women, both pre-birth, but also after birth a program where we have some psychology based programs that we provide. We also provide material assistance to say every client who comes through and receives a positive pregnancy test at Piedmont women center, whether they found out for any additional classes or not we provide them what we call a baby shower in the back about $250 with items they need more than that if a client simply complete and other parenting classes which they can either do virtually or in house. If they complete any voucher for either a three car seat x-ray pack and play a month supply of diapers. I don't know where to get that kind of service anywhere else outside of the pregnancy help movement and you know that there are many of our sisters out there who are fighting the difficult fight. The level of protesting that is taking place and that the violence that is taking place. It's not who we are, but what we want clients to know is that we security you saw your new facility to Greenville and and in just the facilities like yours across the country, but again the attack on you. I wanted to just have someone like you be able to talk through to our audience. Tell people exactly what happens.

What is the process like because which uses words like torture. She is trying to get she's trying to encourage those attacks on on on centers like you're so Kelly, thank you so much for taking time to be with us on the broadcasting. Let me tell people at Piedmont women · or she can learn more about their work. If you're in South Carolina and in the upstate area, South Carolina. They need volunteers. I need help as well you I'm sure. I'm sure on the website you can you can donate, you can volunteer. So again I encourage you folks because the abortionist realizes will now what you get is as rebellious children, these centers like Kelly's. It is in place for over 30 years. If you work in the centers.

I want to hear from you. Have a broadcast 1-800-684-3110 at 2000 684-3110 Megan appreciate Kelly George's right off the bat today because this this is not a joke.

From Elizabeth war know some will say that you can't really do what she's saying we've seen edible time that we collect city councils and and state governments try and shut down pro-life princesses. They do want them shut down right now there's intimidation campaign against them. But there is also been legal actions. We've had to fight it out to California New York. We they are on the front lines were proud of the ACLJ provide legal support would necessary at no cost to those pregnancy centers when they needed so they can continue to do their work when they are being intimidated by local governments and state governments, and you got a US Sen. saying that they torture women think about that that the abortion clinic. Pro-life princesses to cause we come back on secular one 800-6831 10 support the work of a Sealed Air matching challenge double impact your donation ACLJ.org to your calls to his Elizabeth Warren's award calling pro-life princesses that they need to be shut down. There's too many of them that they torture would we just heard from Kelly Ross, who runs the Pima women citizen South Carolina horses 2000+ of the centers around the country want to hear Nasser people calling who work in volunteer these centers in Leah does as well in Georgia online to Haley. Welcome to secular on their all local one no go that a wonderful start part one appreciate you volunteering your time to do that work and it is so true. If you've ever had a chance to be to be one of these centers and to visits to see that you actually do the ultrasounds there and there she providing that for women there any dates again to hear those words from Elizabeth war.

That's why even though he is one US Sen. whose extremist I want to take that opportunity because this is not this is not so outside is outside the norm fan in the pro-abortion movement inside Washington and throughout the country. They do want to shut the centers now that we've had to fight to keep them open. I would say it is the norm door and they want to shut them down. They want to make sure that there is no alternative other than abortion and look let me just echo something that both Kelly and Leah talked about nest.

The fact that volunteers and community support are really they really form the backbone of these crisis pregnancy centers. You know Jordan, our families done partnership work with synergy as well. We've also partnered with an adoption agency reaction of a beautiful baby girl in our care. Right now Jordan and I say all that to say this, there are a number of heroes.

Anytime you have a child that comes into a crisis pregnancy center you have the birth mother who Kelly talked about who is made the decision to carry that child to term and might need support. You've got the pregnancy center you got the volunteers likely had that come alongside that mother and then you got the adoption agencies that may need to place that child.

If the birth mother decides to make that placement and then of course the adoptive family.

So Jordan what you've got is what the left says they they believe in, which is a community that has decided to come together to help those in need. So why would someone like Sen. Warren want to shut that down Jordan there.

There's only one answer to this is that they're not pro-choice. They are pro-abortion on demand, and in any and every circumstance. That's the only way that it is and look how did how do you combat it. You have to combat it federally but then I think more importantly in a proposal grow world you have to do what were doing at the ACLJ you have to come alongside these pregnancy centers in each and every community and each and every state and make sure they have a defense when their attack from this high-profile level area rumble, came and said watching the left side for Planned Parenthood gives us insight to how much money they take it from playing. That's true, true. They had a lot of money to politicians to make those kind of statements on the go out there and say this pro-life pregnancy centers are torturing women based it's just absurd.

That's why I want to have one of the directors see were just here for me is the attorney to represent him. But as for the people actually running the centers on a day-to-day basis. What they do and I think you heard that last segment exactly how works if you come in the air as a woman seeking help and they make it very clear right off the bat and I try to hide what they are, that that that they are not abortion clinics and I can refer you to an abortion, but there adults that are going there who can decide on their own what they want to do next. If they want to take the information pro-life crazy citizen provided them or not. In it, it's all the answer to that question, which is what you do if you shut that all these abortion clinics in fan seat. What they don't like is it and what you were just time is the answer we are to have, without which we don't have to create the response to what happens if abortion is is banned in the states not available here. Nothing we do have all the all you you went through it all the different lines of people it already exists.

Jordan you're so correct in one of the things that I just I just cringe whenever I hear it is that working to have this this huge amount of unwanted children, Jordan, wanting him to set the record straight on this.

There is no such thing as an unwanted child in the United States of America and the adoption agency that we partner with has a long, long waiting list waiting for PO for babies to be placed for adoption. They are willing to take a child with all sorts of complications from all sorts of different backgrounds. There is a backlog of families waiting to make. There's a doctor so that the D statement Jordan that there is a such a thing as an unwanted child in United States of America Jordan. It's nothing short of then a lie. It's a lie.

It is not true and if a birth mother decides she is going to bring her child to term and deliver it. That's a huge sacrifice in and of itself right Jordan, but if he is willing to do that there are communities like the one that Kelly was talking about like the one that Kelly's been leading for a number of years in a pre-Dobbs world and in a real-world Jordan now that there is an opportunity in a post-rogue world for these mothers to maybe in any even increasing numbers bring those children to term. I can guarantee you there are families ready to provide those children a loving and a forever home. And that's the end that were shooting for Jordan and I wanted to turn to Simpson's court out of Washington DC that you had your basic command said you what I'm not doing more tax increases.

These economic packages and climate packages. I'm out. He is changed his mind. Yeah, maybe we talk about that so many times your center mansion, center mansion sometimes does the right thing in till he does the wrong thing Jordan and you just you go by the last statement that he gives to the press and it's almost always just in a good negotiating posture. Look what he said last night is that he thought the inflation numbers that are out of control in over 9%.

Of course, they mean that you should not increase taxes on the American people. You should not increase spending from Washington DC. That's of course absolutely correct.

I mean, it's a no-brainer, but you're right, Jordan. Today he is sort of backing down. From then said well you know might depend what next month's numbers look like as far as inflation Jordan.

Think about this the American people aren't stupid.

Let's say next month's inflation number isn't quite as historically terrible as the last month was what will that mean as far as annual inflation goes. Jordan, it'll still mean the worst inflation in decades and decades that this is just this is just posturing from Joe mansion and the answer next month needs to be the same one that was last night.

It would be the worst time to raise taxes on the American people and to get even more spending out of Washington DC out one real quick deadline. An important date on this Jordan. The end of September is when they would have to move a bill in order to not lose their current reconciliation instructions.

I don't think they'll be able to pass a new budget next year.

So if if it pushes past September. That's probably the deadline you're looking at. But again, we disclose where I started. Sen. Joe mansion he means what he says until he says something different. Jordan time is that's so true. Okay folks, this is a critical time at the ACLJ to support our work financially at this a matching challenge month and I know that you heard me say that before.

If you're a regular listener to the broadcast. You watch the broadcast. But let me just tell people why who are thinking about making a financial contribution to the ACLJ or into the work that we do where that goes with you know, obviously.

To do this broadcast every day to get this out.

Cost cost resources. But, of course, most for resources go to fighting the battles of course using our broadcast is important that is fighting the battles in court fighting the battles in Congress is fighting the battles international courts all over international work that we do all over the world for religious liberty for freedom of speech, protecting your constitutional rights and again in the time we believe the ACLJ is needed now more than ever the matching challenge month we have a group of builders is rate to match every donation that comes through double the impact donation donate online today and ACLJ.org the American Center for Law and critical issues at home and abroad for limited time you can participate in the ACLJ matching challenge for every dollar you donate $10 €20 $50 gift becomes 100 protecting the constitutional and religious freedoms to you and your family today.

Online keeping you informed and now you want to hear from you, Sharon poster, call one 800 68311.

Most of the ACLJ is a matching challenge month and we're getting near the very end of this month. We are close to what were our goal is were about 3% behind last year.

I want to kinda hit that goal again so were encouraging to support the work of the ACLJ up ACLJ.org at today's broadcast. We are going to take a look at kind of the depth and scope of the American Center for Law and Justice were to focus on some of the work on the international front, which includes, by the way, the United Nations, our office in Jerusalem.

Of course, and you know, last year we started this initiative called ACLJ more now more than ever, and Logan that was your kind brainchild on that tells them about what that was a little about the additions we made you a lot of things happened in 2020. As we all can remember and we decided that the ACLJ as things were heating up. Beginning in 2021 that their organization as we kind of felt the a finding that sort of determining phrase that would take us through the next year and now it's been a year after was that the ACLJ was needed more than ever, and that has certainly been the case. As we have seen an interesting time in America.

Interesting time in the world that even leads up to recently. With the overturning Roe versus Wade how the ACLJ's fight is needed more than ever, and that was what you know folks for everybody. Remember, this was a forty-year fight litigation loss is really, really over. No, I mean I would gotta deal with the states, but to remove the obstacle of a constitutional right to take the life of an unborn child, which is contrary to moral values to spiritual values to Christian principles, Judeo-Christian principles, getting that removed as is quote constitutional right was a big step now would be poor says we've been talking about.

We've expanded our office work in Jerusalem with now someone dedicated in our office in Jerusalem. Dedicated offices.

It is really had reports of them every week MC have Rick and Mike were to bend it like you said during times of uncertainty. It's interesting here perspective of someone who recently lived. It was in a course that was all 2021 halfway through 2022. Right now the month of July were still expanding. Things are growing but obviously coming do know there is ill financial stresses. There's economic downturns are happening right now there's inflation that is happening. Gas prices, all of those things are compounded but doesn't mean the work here at the ACLJ stops does the remainder goes on pause, it keeps going it did through 2020 through 2021 will continue in the foreseeable future to continue to fight for your rights and to give you guys the best amount of information on what's actually happening is that something you hear a lot of people bloviate and say they'll tell you about how horrible things are, but to give you know hope and they give you no pathway to any sort of change. That's what we do differently here than a lot of places you may hear a radio show and kinda combined us with all the other conservative talk during shows you hear the difference is those guys given your opinion. Nothing wrong with it.

They give the opinion really opinion in the world do the work that's right. And that's always been the hallmark is not just talking about it is not the role talking about that's important to educate people, but also doing something about offering hope in trying and difficult times so we will encourage you is we get ready to put the last week here of our matching challenge and gear to go to ACLJ.Horovitz ACLJ.org. Any amount to donate working at a matching gift for that's right.

Visit ACLJ that are not only to donate incredible concert were doing that every donation made effectively doubles if you get $10 or some of the other rinsing maps that make it 20 and so on and so on. Again that is ACLJ.org go there.

For more information. Donate. As everyone admits it is the last segment this threat from China, which we broke early on this, and we've been working on aggressively enjoying the smells Secretary of State states of America. Mike Pompeo was our senior counsel for global affairs Mike we have talked about the threat of China infiltrating the universities funding and grants with the situation in North Dakota is very unique because here you have a sensitive military base in the Chinese Communist Party connected businesses and these are controlled by the Chinese Communist Party purchasing or attempting to purchase farm land almost adjacent to this Air Force Base and asked yourself why would the Chinese Communist Party want to buy farmland, North Dakota. How serious is that parcel out series is threat from China and then we'll talk about what their actions are here. How serious is the Chinese threat including the leader of the Chinese government made very clear intention wants to undermine the Western way like the things that we value your art argument) United States. Our ability to practice our faith in United States ability to grow business that he's made clear he wants to change that. He wants to be the global actor might you want start get the grandkids to live in a world that looks more like what you see happening today in China with locked out surveillance state to look more like that than the America that we know and love that there is threat of one of the greatest threat to the United States and all of our history. Now 250+ years in this effort to now buy property in and around American military, the late 11 thread in that correct profile that one for moment because we got word of this and the American Center for Law and Justice is working on a butter ACLJ action 501(c) four is also working on this thing to be important. Mr. Sec. to explain to her audience why the Chinese government company's disease are owned by the Chinese Communist Party.

Why would they acquire property like this. What is the reason you make a good point to start wanted.

There's no such thing as a private company in China. I think it important for everybody.

North Dakota and can California everybody to understand. There's no such thing when they show up with a private company name.

It's truly just their military people liberation Army or their Communist Party itself with a façade with a fake front second why they do and if it's not to grow crops about the make life better for the people of North Dakota without a full employment act for that great date. It is so they can survey all that space beta so they can come to understand who is moving what's going where the suppliers are and to be in and around an important strategic military base with something of great value to the Chinese, party leadership, I think a diverse of this, imagine an American company trying to buy a property adjacent to a Chinese military base in lesser part time you think there's any chance that they would let that happen now because we would we would learn from that and we would benefit from that and what are their nation if we had our government owning an installation next to their military base metal were permitted to happen week without to do all we can to push back against not only in North Dakota but everywhere J Mike, he served as the Dir. of the CIA's wealth is being Secretary of State and talk about the Chinese Communist Party surveillance capabilities.

People sometimes underestimate how sophisticated the surveillance can be unrivaled by the various things that I thought the director was the scope and scale of the Chinese Communist Party surveillance state, not just inside their income created it in it like nothing you've seen inside the country to move in Beijing is to be captured your face your whereabouts your your movements are captured every inside the country, but their efforts around the world are unequaled as well. Their mandate they are on the 10th and Ali Baba visa data companies.

We talked about tick-tock couple times J were collecting American information. They've done this, you talked about universities and research institutions, whether collecting data on America putting it in their big databases applying artificial intelligence in developing the capacity to perform surveillance like no nation has ever been able to do in the history of man time on this earth.

It is staggering. J so as happy as Speaker Pelosi is doing a scheduled trip to Taiwan. They Chinese Communist Party have said or "severe negative impact on the political foundation of China US relations. How should we react to this basically threat from I don't agree with Nancy Pelosi on anything really very little, but the idea that the speaker of the house of the United States is traveling to Taiwan and the Chinese is from the threat. What what is the messaging there will apparently are trying to stop us from doing what is right wish to acknowledge that Taiwan is not part of China. It is very very clear. It never was and never has been, and if America performs its mission right.

Never will be part of China as shaking things intend on bringing it inside the corrected Speaker Pelosi is planning to go there I was there earlier this year.

I'm unlikely to have back before too long.

We should be able to freely travel where Americans want to travel. We ought to recognize wanted the independent congregation that is, I think, speaker, plus this trip should continue. We should make clear to the Chinese that if they do something that is inconsistent with Taiwan being an independent nation know that will be real costs imposed on them. These defense it doesn't necessarily require military action with China were to make a move on Taiwan. A militarily what it should be the brain response because we see the response in Ukraine, which is been in a chaotic, to say the lease.

What happens if the China because it was a lot of thought that the Chinese working in government was get a move on Taiwan while the Ukraine Russia conflict was going on and still could happen. How do we respond to that if they were to make a military move right noted that that risk is still very real but wanted the most important thing one can do. The leader of the free world established deterrent.

It's what Biden is blocked off when we left Afghanistan, he reduced America's power and influence in the world and we saw what happened to be creating people. As a result of that. So with respect to Taiwan. We should be this time day. This moment to do what we've agreed to do to give them the tools to defend himself, but what were she to take an actual military attack on Taiwan. There are many tools on the wiki. I just don't want to get into, but there are many tools that the West, not just be that state like Japan and South Korea, Austria. All of the people to care about freedom loving people of the Pacific. I met a lot of things that we could do in response to that and I hope we communicated that very clearly to sheet that should he undertake such an effort. There will be real costs per China and the Chinese Communist Party to pay to the energy situation. Honestly, were having very high oil and gas prices still come down a little bit that is still very, very high.

The President went after the oil and gas comes United States saying you need to be producing more. At the same time he was telling them in 3 to 5 years to be out of business because were to do with fossil fuels. Admit. And then he was threatening the really threatening these oil and gas companies you want to know their income to marketing.

All of this profits what is this what is the White House trying to accomplish here and we work not long ago, but under your administration, 19 months ago we were energy independent. Now we not only dependent. The present one over begging Saudi Arabia from oil and doesn't look like that happen like that, that part of the effort failed.

That's too bad. I would love that OPEC to produce more energy as well study it. All the other multiple in which we produce more here Yupik variegated J you and your team at ACLJ right pushing back on the regulatory state inside the United States. The difference between now and what seems like forever but is only 19 months ago was that we applauded private companies that were out in back taking risk delivering good good affordable products to the American people.

We encourage that we didn't penalize them and we didn't have this this unrealistic dream this dream that you could transition off of fossil with no backup plan and imposed massive cost of the American people and American families. This was this is bullish is became a bit of a religion for the invited article of faith that you could you could power America with sunshine and windmill.

Sadly, they began to punish the very firms that could produce the affordable energy. So parents could drive the kids to soccer games and elderly couples on fixed incomes that are gonna have to heat their homes this winter could afford to do so. This is an enormous political mistake. It was a decision made by the bite administration and now the American people are paying the price for that last question, not so notice Supreme Court case drastically limited the ability of the Ministry of state to achieve their distant through the climate agenda through rulemaking, which people ignore. But it's very important as rulemaking creates a whole new body of law do you see the President twice. Talk about coming out with emergency executive order on climate change is just another way to get around the regulatory safeguards that were put in place by the Supreme Court two weeks ago I suspected. I inspected one part that attempt to circumvent what the Supreme Court did in the second part political panic though. Somewhere in between those two. Unfortunately, no matter what it is he that I am confident that it is very likely to continue to drive energy prices higher. When you deny the most affordable energy to the American people. This is bad for the American economy.

We may well see a recession as result of that that would really be tragic and it is II you have to keep in mind this is a choice that wasn't prudent energy price like this with Pres. Biden and the progressive left effort to undermine the very portable energy. Americans have come to rely on. And we ought to head back. It's simple to go back to the policies we had and it would certainly save a lot of families.

An awful lot of money to a question about my company and forcing Thursday nursing accounts and global affairs. Thanks as always for being with us folks elections and consequences because his policies. Policies and consequences could impacts you and me and everybody else and a lot more coming up support the work of the ACLJ limits and let you know to do that one more segment of one segment your voice heard on the skull only hundred 684-3110 syndicates for the work ACLJ very easily ACLJ.R right now you see this big banner matching child from political stunts to the reality and the reality is what the American Center for Law and Justice is doing on the life issues on his own phone is senior counsel for the ACLJ. Frank Manion is been fighting the life fight memory. My goodness Frank inviting what we've been fighting side-by-side for 3540 years. I know you're even involved before then, but look what we saw the stunt that AOC did with this baking their handcuffs.

I was made the comment we represented but were really handcuffed, but there's a there's a much more sinister move going on right now since the Dobbs decision has come out. It is very clear.

Sen. Warren has said it. Others have said that they want to shut down these pro-life crisis pregnancy centers. What are we doing about it right now as we got a whole team of lawyers working on this strategy really three-part.

Maybe more part as we develop this bank particularly in New York were an act was passed immediately after.authorizing an investigation by the state health department and other agencies to investigate, in effect, crisis pregnancy centers and only crisis pregnancy and we were able to read through the read between the lines of the think this is investigate in order to terminate that's what this is all about the Atty. Gen. and other political basically said that there barely holding holding back down to. We've been retained by two different Christ pregnancy centers in New York already in talks with three others. We had a meeting this morning with one and like I are meeting with two others in New York next week. We also had meetings with Christ. She said her submission to personal independent against beast which I what is that mean not only will you advise them, but when they get the penis which they will. We will, in appropriate circumstances, moved to quash the suspect we have a lot of First Amendment free-speech art. There second will work with the police asked the question because you be raised clearly this crisis pregnancy centers of the target.

Then when Frank talks about motion to quash. Let's explain this to her audience that is to stop the enforcement of an overbroad subpoena. That's correct. The motion to quash, essentially says that this subpoena should not be enforced that the court should suppress it, and that the person directed to appear or directed and produced document should not be required to comply with the terms of the subpoena and the terms that is normally used as a motion to quash or a motion to dismiss, usually in Georgia, for instance, we call it a motion to quash, and in many other jurisdictions. That's what it's called) so that's kind of phase 1, phase 2, here, go ahead without we've got to work closely with the local police and prosecutors and others. Problems are obviously first of all you know they have a lot of other things to do in some cases were talking about real terrorism and the one in western York were talking today is clinical. I was bombed with two Molotov cocktails did extensive fire all sorts of graffiti from Jane's revenge and others threatening physical harm to the people that run this clinic and their family.

Others have simply been vandalized. Not quite, to that extent, others of receiving threats of violence and death directed to themselves and their family members. We're willing to do whatever the prosecutors and local police need us to do count them or making it known to where we can contacted by crisis traders or they have their own issues. Obviously they have budgetary constraints. They have other problems that they're dealing with.

And let's face it in many of these places they have political ideology prosecutorial. The strict discretion is, occasionally, shall we say influenced by political and ideological consideration not in ourselves about that. But what I'm really excited about J is the third problem which is something I think it's fairly novel. You and I remember when the Freedom of Access to clinic entrances act was passed back nearly 90 in response to those Operation Rescue protested you and I were involved in defending it had a huge chilling effect on those things and those were nonviolent protests right but the prospect of having to be sued here. Facing a lawsuit with compensatory and punitive damages and injunctive relief and attorneys fees really discouraged an awful lot of otherwise you know or otherwise inclined got grotesque now, but there were talking about actual bike and it applies just as much if not more so to acts of violence and what I don't think the other side side realized then make sure we don't realize it now is that the face active call would also cover crisis pregnancy centers and threats and actual violence and vandalism directed against the joke we think of anything easier if we don't have to wait for the police, the US attorney or the local Atty. Gen. to do it. An individual who is harmed by somebody under circumstances can file a simple faith action and we are encouraging them to do that. Obviously, we need to identify defendants close to doing that in some of these places in New York.

Not sure we have enough yet, but were very close and our investigation is continuing, and I just think it would be the site exactly returning the table you want you want face in your face without not only do I file one or two or a handful of these things and I will see a similar backing law by the Jane's revenge crowd and others so inclined. If we file these things in particular for successful that's exactly). We appreciate your comments appreciate your insight. Thanks for being with us folks we are looking at this issue kind of in a holistic way to defend the right to speak out for life, especially in light of the overturn of oversight we got calls coming in and hundred 684 31, St. Brendan California online one Brenda gone there. Brenda my collar. I think we should use people think that far Hancock week using an example and justice on them that they know this is this is the wrong behavior $50 but you think J that's the problem. The finest $50 I mean it's it's it's it's maybe protesting.

You don't want to discourage and sleep the concept of protesting. It's just the charrette. It's what happened here was not the right to go protested that they like the decision, the sprinkler that's free country can do that the charade is thinking you're being handcuffed for media purposes, except the meeting was all over it and saw that they were not being handcuffed. That's the real charade of this none of this happens without you and I will tell you like were not like a lot of organizations that we don't have you know we don't get all we get some were appreciative of everything were not will get regularly $10 million grants and million-dollar grants. It's very rare for us. I mean, you could look at those over the course of our 20 years and we are building Washington was a large donation from foundation will never forget that. That's been 20 years ready but it's because of people like you.

Lots of people like you that make a difference. That was what we decided to do 35 or 40 years ago when we started that it was couldn't be more of a we now call grassroots model, but it was really good to be supported by everyday citizens. The people that wanted protect religious freedom, religious liberty and protect our freedom and liberty as American citizens and we have been blessed beyond anything we can imagine we facilities that we came in when I'm wearing these facilities.

I spoke amply when these facilities but that doesn't happen without you, but I just wanted it to stop and say thank you from all of us that, but there's a lot of people working behind the scenes. As you know when that will have a camera back that we should really get one and around this entire office in our offices around the globe.

Thank you.
