DOJ vs. President Trump: Urgent Update

SICU just as Pres. and Secretary of State now to the 2064 3110 course of his last 24 hours there's been a lot of news involving different cases involving present tropic at a Florida again another decision there covered a lot of that the Atty. Gen. statement yesterday and the case that they are bringing which the civil case civil fraud case in New York and then later the day we saw action of the 11th circuit on the special appointment of a special master about other items. But as of right now the FBI dog is to go back to reviewing their documents correct.

So here's what happened. The US Court of Appeals for the 11th circuit including two appointees of Pres. Trump that were appellate court judges ruled that there was no basis to put into a special master in place, thus clearing the way for the Justice Department and the FBI to continue their review of the documents and allowing those documents to be shared with the investigators and that as far as whether a document is privilege or not.

11th circuit said you have to rely on the Justice Department to do this and I think what's happening is a number of things look, these cases are when you got a multi-jurisdiction situation, which is what the former President has right now multi-jurisdiction you got litigation in the state courts of New York you got a criminal case being tried. October 24 in Manhattan by the New York DA's office against the Trump organization so that criminal cases going to trial you have now. The civil fraud suit taught by the state attorney general in New York you have at least two maybe three grand juries going in Washington DC, and then you have the situation with the execution of the warrant in in Florida. So what is that all mean it means that you need to have legal teams dedicated to each one of those tasks, and then somewhere needs to be in charge. You have what we did was we had a team that was handling New York matters when when not when Jordan and I were involved to a team that was handling New York matters. Lawyers like Markley casing others. We had Jane and Marty Raskin and some of our folks handling the molar issues and then we had a team that was handling tax issues and then what we made sure was that although strain stayed on the track so to speak, and then collided to each other and I think what you got right now. Is it was so long for them to react to three weeks. Remember from the arrest warrant. They issued me that search warrant to the execution of legal action that that passage of time did not go to the present moment presence benefit and I think that's where the suffering legally. Right now yeah and so we will take your phone calls. This is what hundred 64 3110 acid or Marshall Blackford she's rejoice next to the broadcast as well touch on some of his issues with her were also going to get it will get to bore that later. The broadcast were mitigated to some issues are like the border like the economy and we look at the stock market right now regular curiosity, and we have tribulations and emulators rates.

I about yesterday yet again and really know it inside out on the aggressiveness of the Federal Reserve. So again took a lot of people off guard that they went to the that that three quarters rate of percents increase so I take your calls 164 3110 ACLJ action update for you as well to I just to encourage people to continue. Speak about that border security that were asked you to do all hundred sitters have been contacted we would be contacted multiple times over these 410 members of the House of Representatives and were now have reached the over 6000 contacts that have gone out so the next stretch goal would be 10,000 contacts does it cost you thing to take part in this ACLJ action.org standing up for border security releasees.

He got them over like a cable yesterday to talk about as my voice is coming proving that seizing automobile where even Democrats are starting to say we've got to do something about border security. We got to secure border is not just about the regrets.

It's about people dying from drugs as well. American side will be right back with sitter Marshall Blackford back to secular. We are honored to be joined by great friend of ours in the ACLJ's US sitter Marshall Blackford to the sea sitter.

Blackford is always it's a pleasure to have you on the broadcast legal right to one of the topics I think is just front sitter for every American.

Right now, is the economy. They saw the interest rate hike again yesterday. They see the stock market taking a hit that I yet again and they're just wondering you know with disinflation what is it, what does it start with the solution start actually getting put forward. When I talk to them are at that point are we going to be really friend and I tell you I don't think it's going to be any time soon. And here's the reason why you're not going to bring down inflation until you opened the energy sector backup. We need all the thing about the energy policy. Certainly you can say Brandon seller. They can't place that you cannot deny all oil and gas and say we're not going to hand any any hydrocarbons. We are not going to allow that into the system at the same time you can't chamber going to disallow nuclear production for electric power. The left is trying to did they think I can do it all on wind and solar and you can't meet your knee down that it was interesting also center I saw this yesterday Congressman until he started getting criticism even from the Democrats for her anti-Israel statements I just want to go to that for a moment Israel's our key ally in the Middle East. Our strongest ally in the Middle East and from it seems to me that the left is talking about. This is Royce energy pollen is the same thing on geopolitics that the left is just especially the harlot bent on taking our entire foreign policy. Also, it completely different direction with her questioning Jamie down and yesterday I hurt when it comes to our foreign policy. They are out of line and I was recently in Israel and Tel Aviv and in Jerusalem and I met with P and met with Netanyahu.

Israel is our ally. They are greatly appreciative of the United States partnering with him on innovation working toward armed and David slaying that delays are all advanced is important to Dan. They are so grateful to last a very concerned about what the US may do with a new Iran nuclear deal and they are concerned about the impact that would have on down as far as security and safety guys think that the way it would embolden our rhyme, give them cash to put into their proxies and of course I know some of that cash into the proxy and up on the West Bank and in Palestine and then the wrong pocket when we talk about these issues to look at Ukraine and Russia that we receive this call up by reservists of 300,000 I get it appears to be one of those things where would we hear the by the ministration type that we said the weaponry but it is an end in sight. Russia and Ukraine.

I think what we are seeing as an admission by Peyton through his actions, not his words through this action and that they were not prepared for this essay had not expected pushback from Ukraine and from the Ukrainian people who have decided solid delay that they don't agree with Russia. They don't want to be a part of Russia said he is actually willing to empty and conscript. Some of these prisoners into his Armed Forces to try to temper what is going on there with losing so many from the Army and I think I've had some people just kind of walk off and dessert they decided they are not going to be a part of – turning attention to domestic letter that is the continued weaponization of government agencies against against the former President against conservatives. But you look at the actions of this administration disinformation. The panels can be set up just like a guy could just go through the checklist of ridiculous infringements on free speech that were either put in place are being proposed.

I said I think back at the fact that we had a great victory against the IRS as soon as the body ministration God and they violated the court order. We already had in place and got it fixed but nevertheless they had it, but they were willing to do that, then you look at what's going on with the former President in the last several months and you say to yourself that you know being a conservative is a dangerous business right now when you're a conservative, you've got a target on your back and left continue to come after conservatives and the left continues to try to demonize conservatives and you know, bear in mind, J.

One of their goals and I did this all through the pandemic with the mandates and the lockdowns. One of their goals is to make people fearful because fearful people are easier to control. Tell if they can pick off some conservatives and making examples of down if you well for what's going to happen to you if you do not do what they say you should do, then that makes it easier for them and you're right, we saw that with the IRS during the Obama years now we are seeing the IRS be weapon eyes once again 87,000 new agent you are seeing DOJ and FBI.

He sees what is happening to people that worked with Pres. Tromp, who are being subpoenaed. You're saying the right at Mara Longo. All of this is to instill fear in the American public felt. My hope is that people are going to show up and they're going to vote and to get a government that is more responsive to the people and move away from this to tears of justice to tears to agency enforcement and get back to a government that is equal access and equal treatment equal just center is always procedure insights things representing all of us and I say that really have to not just people disabled people around the country speaking for a lot of us when you're up there working in Washington and getting these policies will be appreciated for I say to as as it to the CM words we speak to a national audience visited the CM you have to really understand who would get outside of that zone to realize.

I think you see in the news, you might be in a state or community worry fields like a very red place and but what you realizes the corporate target on your back.

The you know that the way New York is treating present Tromp so you will want to be do business here and visited today that incident was the institution of New York well before he was a politician and with the same personality that you live your racist personality. Then when it was good for business and he was involved in their politics. Suddenly he got involved in politics and and like his personality more than they like anyone would question every decision, but let me listen there, not him with the full force of government. The coming foot with the with that it's unprecedented to see former President retrieves will not be New York got a New York DA criminal trial starting in month to have a New York state attorney general civil fraud suit that's been filed yesterday. You have two grand juries, at least maybe three in Washington DC you have actions in Florida going on in the 11th circuit Court of Appeals got rid of the special master and that special master.

By the way, was picked by present from steam. He was very hard on the lawyers and President from steam because you gotta be in judges you're the lawyer in what you need to be paired and I think that you gotta have a strategy and you gotta have a theory you gotta have teams in place. I'm just not sure that's you not try to be critical just not sure that's being implemented via careless I don't. I think you can say this is unfair but okay big boys now if you get past that you see there.

There's that word to consider Blackford to which is how much worse is when you're not Donald Trump. This kind of comes at you this way because you don't have resources or you are Donald Trump.

Yes it's unfair.

Yes, you could say it's political targeting. But yes, you could also you have the resources to build whatever team you need to do itself but you've got to do it, and quickly.

I think whatever the special master we all said was right with that happen, which is yet to file that like next day and they didn't. They did you favorably have a district court judge within the 11th circuit said way too long. As part of it and then look they never chose medicine. If it is executed, the hood working lines are forming this trucking should not mean the basic stuff but it was working, take your calls and comments 100-6431 10 more on this next topic. What this all means for the former President what it means.

General will take your calls at 800-684-3110 support the work of theaclj@aclj.org, filed today a certain petition that is a petition for review to the Supreme Court of the United States on a prayer case out of Ocala, Florida, and I think it's could be a to be a landmark case, the court takes it. We think there's a good chance it will and that was filed today by the Americans and phone just to secular hundred 60 got questions about all the different Trump legal goings-on. There's a lot to discuss. And also Jordan Logan are doing a bucket secular brother so you wake.

You will be great Julie's nose as counsel in the economy is a little lighter is a couple things I want talk about we talk about what happened in the 11th circuit. By the way, those were for those of you say I can't believe 11th circuit did this, which was basically removed. The District Court judge's opinion which put in place the special master, but remember that special master hearing just 48 hours ago was very tough on Donald from floor was a special master. They picked also did okay but two judges out of the three that sign the 11th circuit order were appointed by Donald Trump.

So this isn't just you know left-wing bias here. This is legal issues so you know, and I want talk about this old ridiculous tweets by Rashida to leave Richard leaves tweets on Israel which is even got the Democrats up in arms. But before we do that, and the evening took a look at what's your sense of what was happening, but my view overall is the delay in all of this in their reaction time and again I don't know what the reason for the delay what's on my try to be overly critical, but the delay in the action, and then the way in which that hearing went two days ago. This kind of preview what I thought. The 11th circuit was probably going to do what I think you're absolutely right to the delay in the action was really a determinative factor in my view and I agree with you. You've got to have teams and you've got to have a central train conductor supervising those teams, but the dilatory tactic that was engaged in was not in the benefit of former President trumpet was to the detriment and the Court of Appeal saw through that but I read that opinion very carefully.

29 page opinion by two judges who are appointed by Pres. Trump one by Pres. Obama and the thing that I think was impressive on this thing is how the government chose to come added. They made this a national security issue. They kept saying that all my goodness, you've got to be able to allow us to look at these hundred documents because it is a national security issue that is at stake if you don't allow this to go on and do happen and the Court of Appeals was impressed and moved by that argument. In addition to say that you cannot conduct a criminal investigation or that will stay as to the subject documents was another thing that caught the attention of the Court of Appeals. They cited a 1940 decision, link which I've used many times when I was a prosecutor which said even a citizen who is ultimately proven to be innocent has got to bear the cost not monetary cause, but the discomfiture of a criminal investigation.

If that's what the tags and the court is not going to interfere with those investigations. So to say that the FBI could not proceed with investigating on a criminal basis.

Those documents, but only do it on other bases was another thing that the Court of Appeals found to be flawed in the district judge's opinion so I read this very carefully and I think it was a well reasoned opinion and I don't think that you can argue with it too much issues years also I think this is good to be clear on this is that this inability of the lawyers right now and again, there may be reason for this to assert that the documents were declassified.

That is not coming up leading in the lawyers said in court. They said were not prepared to make that assertion. At this time. I think that left the court with the consent will not want to make that assertion will be to the governments documents that Andy me that's kind of the way it works well, that's it. That's exactly right.

And I question myself, why haven't is why hasn't this is urgently mad men made and I cannot come up with a good reason for that. They are the governments documents Court of Appeals concluded in this something you and really said. Therefore, the government can look at them for whatever purposes they want to other national security purposes, whether it be for purposes of a criminal investigation or whatever and I don't understand what the strategy is if there indeed is a coherent strategy or just getting phone calls, one 800 684 31 central psychical force to California on my three force welcome to secular euros a year. I forced to call you quick question for 20 Atty. Gen. James having a civil lawsuit that the burden of proof for her at the Clayton only presumption that it any case, it would be about the second question would be King Atty. Gen. James Cooper, malicious prosecution was going out of court because that suit was whatever it was when it was played was that not cognizable as we say in the law with regard to the burden of proof.

Yes, it's true, the Atty. Gen. New York is very limited, very limited criminal capability to bring a criminal case like in other states, but in this project so that a preponderance of evidence standard. It will not be beyond a reasonable doubt is that's what's on the understand that there's a trial in about a month in New York against the Trump organization by the Manhattan DAs office for criminal conduct in the miso. There's a lot going on in this case. This is what's missing in all of this. I don't see a leader of the of the team. That's what's really on their big guns in the lawyers.

Now they pertain some good lawyers but it seems to be a very scattershot approach. I'm not criticizing anybody because I don't know what they're dealing with. In these various cases but has as you and your involvements to is lawyers that have represented the former presently was President, which is even a different situation. As you can imagine we'll it was we had strategies and teams in place to move forward and that seems to be lacking here in the call as there was a good question. Any Jaguar agree with you.

We do not have a coherent, I do not see a coherent overall approach with a team leader, a conductor, a director or whatever you want to call it somebody calling the shots ultimately here in these multiple situations in New York in Florida in these various venues were all these actions are being brought somebody has to cohere and bring this together and I don't see that happening, and it is to the detriment of the client ultimately that this is occurring in my estimation part of the Court of Appeals and Atlanta's decision of the 11th circuit was due to the delay in bringing the action. There were also legal reasons, but there needs to be coherence as we had with Moeller with the impeachment was so forth.

Had you at the center of it making the ultimate decisions on this and it worked out to the benefit of the client right now New York civil bar Largo don't really could be likely criminal vessels. Note that the crimson file is not been an indictment against families clearly bringing fraud charges thereby does go to cry, but I want to make sure it's clear to people just over and over that civil civil fraud case or is your criminal case going on that is with the DAs office and then their grandeur is impaneled and the situation with the documents a monologue government has said is a criminal investigation I were to be a 30 minute thanks anywhere to be here for another 30 minutes will take your calls and common support the work of theaclj@aclj.org. ACLJ is been on the frontline protecting your freedoms and rights in court and Congress on justice is on your side you're already a member thanking God's well this is the perfect time to stand with us, ACLJ.org, where you can learn more about our life-changing members today seeing okay keeping you informed and now is secular to secular.

You just hit the thumbs up and share. That's an easy way to do it share on an update and you hit the + on rumble and rumbles featuring us, which we really appreciate what think the folks at rumble for doing this makes a huge difference. My company is that a majority is excitement broadcast there with you in the summer she was going on but never that the big UN speech. The Job I gave yesterday, the Russian news that Russian nuclear threat that was Baber going into all that with him as as well.

Some of the unrest were seeing in Iran. Once again unfortunately under an administration that I fear will do exactly what the Obama administration did when there was unrest in Iran, which is nothing you were taking your calls at 1-800-684-3110 tomorrow broadcast. We touch a little bit working to get into this latest from the hard left of the Democratic Party. That's even getting the Democrats reacting, which is from Bob.

Congresswoman retreated to Lieb who this is what you said I want you all to know that among progressives, it becomes clear that you cannot claim to hold progressive values back Israel's apartheid government that got reaction from Jerrold Nadler, Republican Debbie Wasserman showed that Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Democrat of course, the Anti-Defamation League, Jonathan Greenblatt and I will now add our voices to that as well will get into it more on tomorrow's broadcast.

Let me just tell you something. For those of you that are in the Democratic Party.

It's a free country to be one of the party want your pro-Israel or Jewish and pro-Israel. I want you to hear what these people are saying if I can preview it.

She said it would like to type a little bit of time tested to because the truth is she's right. That's where progressives are. That's where the parties it's going that way in the general that was the world of the divorce rituals are that the dinosaurs right it's even there. They got there.

Even looking to Jewish progress is to say I'm anti-Israel. And so what she's really saying is to be part of the new Democratic Party USB anti-Israel take a list you want to know among progressives become clear that you cannot claim to hold progressive values apartheid government and we will continue to push and not DNA you are progressing progressive except Philistine any longer. Continue can you be progressive and backed the Palestinian government was partner with the government in the government Thomas aggressive site. We like Thomas, who by the way Thomas for all the progressive values that you like freedom of speech is supposedly all these different rights. They throw people off the top of buildings they disagree with. That's what they do with Hamas is the other option hears religious radicals for the Democratic Party to be supported. Take up the terrace part okay. Why would the Democratic Party say you side with here the people to let women have the same opportunities as bid is right there for growing people at the top you have to get to that point you just think there's so anti-progressive views there so anti-classical liberalism classic freedom and liberty in both of those political movements in the Palestinian territories, one which is extremely hardline religious to the Hamas movement. What which is a little bit more politically motivated, but still with again, not values that we would we would highlight all welcome to the United States backwards.

Honestly, there's a backwards that that's involving both those groups so the fact the progress is that this is classic progressives to the day with. They will then welcome it. These radical Islamic extremist as somehow part of the progressive knowing you're singing about this on the secular brothers podcast yes because this is radicalism's are progressive so sorry Rashida. So if you are not yet subscribed to the secular brothers podcast reloading Jordan. You've got to do it. It is, it is really really minimize but they do a phenomenal job secular brothers.com modify where you get the podcast up Apple really sign up for today is by Terry Pompeo saw the UN speech essay from a President by then we saw the reaction by Pres. Putin. Let's take a listed I was dubbed over the English for this Pres. Putin fight for those who try to blackmail us with nuclear weapons should know that the prevailing winds can also blow in their direction. If the territorial integrity of our country is threatened without doubt, use all available means to protect Russia and our people. This is not a bluff secretary Pompeo II don't know who's making nuclear threats against Russia have achieved it. He would do that but that that is the message he's taking to his own people, and it is is certainly a pretty scary message to the world when it's a Vladimir Putin that people aren't sure if he's off his rocker.1.your point is well taken up much of. He said he would threatened by data, you doubt that jollity against the rush of people. Nobody said that they don't get direct Russia. This is an aggressive act by applicant with a very walk away from that yet to take seriously what he said.

I think he has every intention of convincing us that you can view the weapon that our response should be accredited by you did yesterday to the place in the way one deters bad guide is not by giving speeches that that you had when you have demonstrably failed to follow through on somebody the commitment that you've already made and so this is the time for quiet.

Not words but the actions that led report. You can see are serious not just American actress, but European action demonstrate that the cost to him will exceed the cost that he could about anyplace up and get giving a speech or making a statement like to get that this requires a private conversation with clear action that II know could be taken. I can't talk about it, but we can make very clear that were prepared to respond in a way that he upended the world by using tactical liquid weapons. You know it's interesting, Mike, did you say this because II had the privilege is at this back in my 2014 1516 to study during the summers at the University of Oxford and and and got Israelis. Benjamin Disraeli's papers and went through the mint and and put together women writing a series of books involving a lot of these issues, but the interesting thing about when I was at Oxford was Disraeli said you know diplomacy can be war, but it has to mean you got power behind it and it right now is we make the statements at the United Nations. I've been at that podium and dealt with an issue of the boycott, divestment, sanction, moment, and at the Gen. assembly and in the hall. It's it's an impressive thing but you got to have power behind this, and right now it seems like we have.

We barely can get through the speech, let alone put action in place when the right that our friends in Europe are our adversaries in Russia are taking on board what the administration is staying because it's so operative out there and corrected, modified, old back walk back you use the language and even more importantly that that right. This is a President who was part of the great that it used chemical weapons lead respond they didn't this administration that said where docket on any American be left behind at get that did so are our words could not have not proven that the value of our friends or our adversaries of the property.

[There are a handful that could be taken that would very clearly put Vladimir Putin on notice of the risk to him and wait. We ought to be doing that. I hope that I'm not seeing it, but I hope that we are late that We close to some kind of conflict is. Is it just bluster is very tense predicts right. I was called up for the first time since World War II rushes, the reserve is 300,000 he try to play that that is the onset every body. It's just a limited number but I that these talking about a nuclear threat against Russia and he's become a very unpredictable actor.

He went from being have a predictable actor that unpredictable actor could be be close to some kind of use of new and they may be tactical maybe something different than what we think of it with World War II, but some use of nuclear weapons. No way should not bluster weekly. I think it is better prepared to do that and it topically is that they keep through his brisket out in doing so, your point is very well taken it different that World War II, but make no mistake about it going past the threshold of Québec show up that big deal that we should be treating a blessing. All all say if there are multiple tools that are a stagger get back to good use. He made a statement yesterday about his nuclear program, tactical liquid weapons, but don't forget, don't forget, if people cannot energy this winter that the loss of life Europe.

The loss of jobs and wealth and power in the West could be that it is very.

You get heat homes in Germany in the wintertime the French countryside is littered with people who don't know longer have access to electricity because blood report.

Shut down energy transfer. Real credible threat as well.

At each of those needs a response that is not about David thought about warts but about action and deed that manifest. That's what America Mike. Obviously you need a room with me so you need to know that you know the person you know that the way in which it governs the way in which he leads. I said something very important. We cannot take these statements as mere puffery were bluffing. This we are in a very dangerous place right now I don't I feel like where we were during the Carter years, but maybe worse because lethality is so much more significant now in the but like you said, the energy dependence is so significant, but he doesn't have to like you said he doesn't happen and deploy a nuclear weapon to bring Europe to its knees. Let let's be clear, I mean I think that what you said there is for real. And people need to understand that the energy dependence on Russia for Europe is staggering and could cause as you said untold casualties if he place that very real and it will Europe European manufacturing shut down American job by the thousand will banish Greek supply chain flow all around the world and to your first point, it is never with Vladimir Putin know I spent a little bit of time with that birthday. So that he is bluffing. He is more capable than that, and in spite of the fact his military has underperformed the fact that he is prepared to call up 300,000. Don't diminish that that is a big number he's going to his own people think we are in that we are staying in this we should take Barry there that and we should respond to them in a way that is appropriate coercive and clear. What is your reaction to the present by bizarre claim for everybody by 33 we can do this we have to do for ourselves for future human, thank you for tolerance listening to me.

I appreciate very much the leader of the country look to us to be the leader world. Thank you for your tolerance for listening to me is escaping to ease the present United States.

Boy I heard that it rang in my ears as well. United Nations we underwrite that big chunk of it is a group of nations that are relying on America to be strong and powerful about seeking forgiveness and tolerant just immediately hearkened back to present Obama's apology tour from 2010 right actually a fundamental myth conception of who America is our goodness are decency our exceptionalism here in America rather than apologize and seeking forgiveness of tolerant we should be commanding the world to behave in a way that is consistent with our values that data going to a place where you have Iran and Venezuela on the human rights commission and asking for their tolerant selections and consequences. I slept a lot better at night when my pump was a secretary state that what and I I am somebody.

It works on the global stage a memo to lawyers in America let us appear before the international criminal Court in the Hague and we done these cases. I'm telling you folks, you gotta protect American values because the rest of the world doesn't have the Mets just back Sentry Pompeii was always, thanks for being with us.

Our senior counsel for global affairs. I want to underscore something that that Mike said here folks is the situation with Russia is very serious and I made that reference to Disraeli.

Disraeli said about Russia about Russia back in the 1870s they understand one thing power and its secretary said Sentry states that there are a lot of arsenals at our disposal that are not weapons necessarily, but here's the problem you for much of the stock market very closely. It is teetering right around 30,000 feet breaks below 30,000.

You can see a floor will talk to Prof. Hutchinson about this in a moment of 25,000. This will start affecting everything interest rate hike.

Three quarters of a point. This is Jimmy Carter, 20, 22 version accepted the consequences are even more staggering. You know that you're being part I want to protect American values conference going on here about why we do what we do, make sure America stays a constitutional republic for my grandkids and their children were teetering on that right now since we get distracted with document requests and that's what's galvanizing the news while Russia's threatening nuclear weapons. Unlike secretaries that all they have to do is copy gas supply in Europe that his knees, and your season multiple times over the last hundred years, get the truck legal drivers that continues on try to update you on all the moving parts there are different courts at different jurisdictions had touchups be there then to foreign policy.

Without four secretary state by Pompeo. We had Marsha Blackburn on talking inflation talking about border security priorities of the of the administration to protect the American people obviously and now to to drill down a little bit more like we were talking with Sen. Blackford about over the economy.

So we got from West Smith here and Prof. Harry Hutchison and Christmas deals with the issues of military and Prof. Hutchinson deals with economy but there there's a lot of related issues here. I want to follow up first with what my Pompeo said the 300,000 callable troops is not a bluff. In his view, and the nuclear threat should also not be viewed as a bluff by Blenheim (Smith, yeah, absolutely.

You have to take it seriously. On the other hand, I think that that were prudent.

Hopefully somewhere knows that this would be a suicidal your action on his part. If you were to use even tactical nuclear reverence, and he may do it. We don't know because it would absolutely unite the entire world other than Arena North Korea against him after his speech yesterday China came out and condemned the speech and call for de-escalation one depressive turkey is been a friend of him has now called for Russia not only to to take withdraw from Ukraine but from Crimea. Also, if you were to do this. It's a game changer. I think politically it would be completely suicidal for him it would hurt Russia. He may do it. We as Mike said we have to be prepared to respond and hopefully that is going on behind the scenes that he is a desperate man sometimes desperate men do desperate things.

So here in Italian, so Mike brought up another project on Pentair sitting on the energy factor of the European energy coming so dependent is to so dependent upon Russia that they don't have to deploy nuclear weapon to bring Europe to its knees and that would then affect and is already affecting the economy in United States absolutely soon Europe. Western Europe is highly dependent on natural gas coming in from Russia. Russia has already shut down its pipeline.

The more extreme on pipeline allegedly for maintenance reasons but they have not given a projection as to when they will open up that particular pipe is also important to note that the weather has already turned toward autumn and winter in various parts of Europe there's snow on the ground in Poland, for instance, and with winter.

This enables pollutant to weapon eyes energy still further. Meanwhile, Pres. Biden doesn't seem to understand that giving US energy independence drives up energy cost in the long run.

So here you have the United States, basically giving a lifeline to Western Europe with respect to energy. We are the largest supplier of liquid, liquefied natural gas to Western Europe. If you look at Great Britain electricity prices. Energy prices are projected to rise by up to 400% percentage against people he understatement on my 4% when I taught him a 40% 400%. By the spring of 2023 now Liz trusts the Prime Minister of Great Britain. She has a plan to help out consumers. She doesn't seem to have a plan yet to help out producers and so if producers face these horrendous price increases. Guess what, they may have to lay off people so you may have a global recession and that could sink the United States economy masses questions because were trying to get give you real analysis here with real information. It appears to me Col. Smith that energy now is a weapon, absolutely. We are talking about it if he were to cut off Europe from from Gast which means translate into electricity also were talking about parts of Europe going dark over the winter and were talking about people freezing to death were talking about food shortages. It would be catastrophic. And you're right it is a weapon, so now you got the weaponization short of energy so and you got the threats of because of 300,000 troops with my pipe on pages are not broadcast, he's our senior counsel for global affairs because this for the children and my dad everybody on this broadcast because of your support of the ACLJ but you got energy as a weapon. You got a direct time between the energy costs and the economic situation and then you have a midterm election for weeks to wait on these issues and appointed us. Was it too complicated. I think the economic issues that several that's the issue that will play truth about semi obscene plan report. Use a nuclear weapon course of any scope it would freak people out. They may say you know what I like Republicans, tough talkers, a lot more something more vivid Washington DC care. Please find going to put more than Washington DC but absent that the issues the economy. I actually think Democrats realize because of some of the early success against these pro-life amendments and some of the put pen we actually encourage a lot that you take some time here to educate the public before you should have these votes that because they had some success in blocking some of the more extreme abortion restrictions.

That issue has moved downtown that was helping them can boost their numbers if the stock market drops below 30,000, and Eric 401(k)s continue take this beating people out of their pocketbook. They don't vote on the rally lift. They've another punk night, so Harriet, if the market does drop below 30,000.

It did once briefly for just a little bit of time if it significantly drop one 30,000 drops into the 25, 27, 28 Met range. How big of an economic impact is that, well, I think you will be absolutely huge and I think the American people will be looking for someone to blame. So keep in mind inflationary pressures are still ramping up even though we may face worse recessionary headwinds. The average American family is likely to spend an extra $11,500 this year alone. In terms of inflation. Grocery prices are exploding egg prices are exploding.

And guess what the biggest contributor to inflation in America has been democratic policies.

This center or I'm sorry the committee for responsible for four federal budget shows that the Biden policies will add $4.8 trillion to the national debt was really quick. Serena time here is Europe face is Europe and we know you pretty much as in the war but as an Eastern European were about to win the foothills that I don't think so, but we don't know right now what is going on in Ukraine is the largest European war since World War II and win a lead when a leader says this is not a bluff. It indicates that he has a credibility problem with his own people in a self-confidence problem and sometimes will not sometimes always those kinds of leaders are unpredictable.
