Today on Sekulow, here we go again,

0:02

the FBI caught spying on

0:05

Christians. Keeping

0:07

you informed and in game. Now,

0:09

more than ever. This is Sekulow.

0:14

We wanna hear from you. Share and

0:16

post your comments, recall one

0:18

eight hundred 6843110.

0:23

At now your host, Jordan Sekyo.

0:26

Sekyo folks, you heard that right. The

0:28

FBI caught spying on

0:30

Christians because the FBI drafted their

0:33

own unclassified document

0:35

on how to spy on a specific

0:37

group of Christians happens to be

0:39

Christians who are Catholics that

0:41

attend Latin mass because, oh, you know,

0:43

those Latin mass attenders, they

0:46

are dangerous right way to the

0:48

racist. I think the term they use

0:50

is racially motivated, violent

0:52

extremist are taking over

0:55

radical, judicious, Catholic, ideology,

0:58

which even that is offensive. Or

1:00

do you have you're a radical Catholic

1:04

traditionalist ideology just

1:06

because you enjoy attending a Latin

1:08

mass, maybe occasionally, maybe every

1:10

week. I mean, that makes you a radical.

1:13

That makes you somehow dangerous in the United

1:16

States of America. To go to a Latin

1:18

mass, I wanna put up on the screen. Here

1:20

it is. This is folks who are those

1:22

that are watching. This is the actual

1:24

FBI internal use only

1:27

do not disseminate externally, and

1:29

it's called interest of racial or ethnically

1:31

mode vaded violent extremist and radical, traditionalist

1:34

Catholic ideology almost certainly presents

1:36

new mitigation opportunities. And when you met

1:38

them at by mitigation opportunities, that they could get

1:40

agents to befriend people inside those

1:42

churches to become agents -- Yeah. -- to become

1:45

informants. Also, you need to

1:47

understand and for our our radio

1:49

audience. This is a multi page.

1:51

This is a seven page document

1:53

that has the FBI logo

1:56

on the top of it. And the FBI

1:58

comes out and says, oh, you know what? We looked at it

2:00

now, which that didn't meet meet our high

2:02

standards. Let me see. This came out of FBI

2:04

Richmond. So this idea that this

2:06

is all the problem is in Washington DC

2:09

where think most of the tone setting is

2:11

the problem. Unfortunately, we're seeing

2:14

that that tone setting has begun

2:16

infecting field offices.

2:19

Yes. Who are on the front lights supposed to

2:21

be doing good work to protect us I think

2:23

most of those agents are, but we're starting

2:25

to see how that Washington DC

2:28

told an ideology now infecting

2:31

the frontline FBI officers

2:34

all across the country, this case, in

2:36

the capital of Virginia in Richmond,

2:38

because they go hard to say that this assessment

2:40

is based on reporting, and then they

2:42

they out clap they deep they take

2:44

that out. They black that out. That's redacted.

2:47

And Lai Azar and contact reporting.

2:49

So they've got people Well, they they sit inside

2:52

so Latin

2:53

masses, think about this for a moment folks

2:55

inside a church And we're gonna have

2:57

West Smith come on and talk about what a lathe is impiscible

2:59

priest in addition to being colonel in military. What

3:02

a Latin mass is? There like it's some,

3:04

you know, thing you never heard of. We have lawyers

3:06

on the ACLJ staff that go to Latin

3:08

masters. I know that for a fact. Listen.

3:12

The the bizarre part is when it had a bimos

3:14

coming to what concludes

3:16

your outlook on page four. They

3:18

say conversely, There's deep seated

3:21

anti Catholicism of her basic characteristics

3:23

to many far right white nationalists. So

3:26

most far right white nationalists would

3:28

not like Catholic masses, but they say

3:30

this gives them a unique opportunity to work

3:32

together. That's

3:32

what the FBI says. Mean, this is

3:35

nasty stuff that the FBI is getting

3:37

away with. That's right. Is a one off person

3:39

at what mass doing something in Richmond,

3:41

handle it. You don't need to write a bibbo about

3:43

going after all

3:44

Catholics. No. But, I mean, this

3:46

don't say, like, if there's an issue at a mosque with a

3:48

terror thing, you handle that person.

3:50

You don't say every mosque at every

3:52

place you would never allow them to do

3:53

that. Let me just read the first sentence. Let me read

3:55

you the first sentence. I mean, the FBI

3:58

reassesses the increasingly

4:01

interest of racially or nickly motivated

4:03

violent extremists in radical,

4:05

traditionalist, Catholic ideology almost

4:08

certainly presents opportunities for threat mitigation,

4:11

through the exploration of new avenues

4:13

for trip trip wire and source

4:15

development. This is the epic

4:17

By the way, ACLJ immediately taking action

4:19

already sending out getting ready to send out this afternoon.

4:22

A demand on this to the FBI

4:24

has been the form of a, boy,

4:26

a request, written information, who came up

4:28

with this a great idea. How did it get implemented? Why

4:30

now the FBI saying, oh, we're pulling this.

4:33

We don't agree with this to meet our high standards?

4:35

Really? You set the

4:37

tone in

4:38

Washington. It's now infecting the field office. It says

4:40

it's thoroughly pulling it because it got leaked.

4:42

And it wasn't classified. So someone

4:44

just shared it with the media,

4:47

and now they say they have to pull it. They weren't

4:49

gonna pull it before. No. We know

4:51

this FBI. Use the call one

4:53

eight hundred 684 thirty one two. That's one

4:55

eight hundred 6843110.

5:05

Alright folks welcome back to Seki. I do want

5:07

to let you know too that are going to be hosting

5:10

the full three hours of Sean Hannity's

5:12

radio broadcast. Today, that'll

5:14

be me by dad. My brother-in-law takes a

5:16

part of that as well. So for ACLJ

5:19

team and great guests, elected

5:21

officials, analysts who'll be joining

5:23

us. That's three to six PM eastern

5:25

time. You go to shaun hannity dot com

5:27

to find out where to listen if you

5:29

don't already have a place where you listen.

5:32

But again, the full show will

5:34

be hosted by us three to six

5:36

PM Easter

5:37

Time. Okay. So let's go ahead. I wanna

5:39

plug the if you're just joining us, the FBI,

5:41

a memo was received by the press,

5:44

That was an FBI memo from the Richmond

5:46

field office assessing the increased increasingly

5:49

observed interests of racially or ethnically

5:51

motivated violent extremist in

5:53

radical traditionalist Catholic ideology

5:55

almost certainly presents opportunity for threat

5:57

mitigation through exploration of new

5:59

avenues of trip wire and source development.

6:02

They also say these are Latin

6:04

mass churches. Colonel West Smith is

6:06

with us and obviously,

6:08

the FBI now saying, oh, that document should we

6:10

we that was a mistake. We didn't that doesn't

6:13

mean our high

6:13

standards. But let's talk about what what is a radical

6:16

Latin mess?

6:17

What is the radical Latin mass? You know,

6:19

not only

6:19

What is the Latin mass first of all? Well, yeah, a

6:21

little bit of the history. In the year two

6:23

fifteen, the church. And back then, there

6:25

were not there was only one church -- Right. -- before the

6:27

reformation. They started celebrating

6:30

the mass or what's called the eucharist as holy

6:32

communion. In Latin in the

6:34

year two fifteen. They celebrated it

6:37

in Latin from then until the nineteen

6:39

sixties, the second Vatican council they

6:42

decided that in order for people to

6:44

understand what was being said, that

6:46

whatever the language was, the common language

6:48

in particular country the mass should

6:50

be celebrated in the language of those

6:52

people so they can

6:53

understand. So the mass itself, the Latin

6:55

mass itself. You're like, you know, you said the Piscival

6:57

Church. Follows it pretty closely. It just sits

6:59

in

6:59

English. Yeah. Exactly. As a matter fact,

7:01

you know, the FBI is targeting people who

7:04

prefer the Latin mass as somehow

7:06

suspect that the radicals, that they're white

7:08

supremacists, that they're anti Semitic, things

7:10

like that, is simply because

7:12

the Latin mass went away in the nineteen

7:14

sixty and seventies in the year two thousand

7:17

seven because people pined for

7:19

the traditional sound in the mass.

7:21

Pope Benedict decided in two thousand

7:23

seven without special permission from the Vatican

7:26

that local churches and diocese

7:28

could also offer the eucharist, the

7:30

mass in Latin. So it

7:32

started then It is not a this

7:35

is not a it wasn't even a theological shift

7:38

in in the

7:38

church. In the

7:39

masses. What said in masses everywhere? Just an

7:41

English versus what? Exactly. This is This

7:43

is like this is like a synagogue that's orthodox.

7:45

Mhmm. If an orthodox congregation, most of the

7:47

services in Hebrew in the Reform congregations

7:50

most of the services in English. But to

7:52

tar for the FBI then to target

7:54

a group because of this is incredible.

7:56

Ununbelievable, actually, that the

7:58

FBI special on the field

8:01

office in Richmond, thought this was a good

8:03

idea. That's the problem here. Yeah.

8:05

I mean, this is again we've seen

8:07

time and time again. We're seeing the targeting

8:09

of pro life students, parents,

8:13

activists who attended museums.

8:15

We are seeing the targeting by the FBI

8:18

of churches now yet again. We

8:21

are seeing that we've seen the targeting

8:23

before of conservative groups by the FBI

8:25

We've talked about an FBI that's out of

8:28

control that has been completely weaponized.

8:31

Jim Jordan started that subcommittee

8:33

on the weaponization of the federal government specifically

8:36

law enforcement agencies. And yesterday,

8:38

he had Nicole Parker, a

8:40

a former FBI special

8:42

agent, testify to that

8:44

new committee on weaponization, take

8:46

a listen. Yes. It

8:49

was physically taxing and emotionally jarring.

8:52

But I believed I was making an

8:54

impactful difference. And every

8:57

day, I woke up and I embraced being

8:59

an FBI special agent. Until

9:01

things changed, Over

9:03

the course of my twelve plus years, the

9:06

FBI's trajectory has transformed.

9:08

On bureau, The papers the bureau's

9:11

mission had remained the same, but its priorities and governing

9:13

principles shifted dramatically. The

9:15

FBI became politically weaponized starting

9:17

from the top in Washington and trickling down to

9:19

the field

9:20

offices. Well, and we're seeing that with this case that's coming

9:22

out of Richmond. And by the you know you could make for this lot

9:24

of this, James Comey. But Chris Wright,

9:26

you're the FBI director. You need it. You know, you

9:28

you had the FBI issued this cowardly statement

9:31

of, oh, this didn't meet our high standards

9:33

of of This is targeted. He's

9:35

of complete failure. Yep. Total failure. And

9:37

this is a targeted act by

9:39

the Federal Bureau of Investigation of

9:41

racial of religious

9:43

discrimination. Oh,

9:44

yeah. This is a ruse -- Yes.

9:46

-- to attack conservatives in

9:48

my own church, for example. I'm an episcable priest.

9:51

We have an order for

9:53

the eucharist of the mass based on

9:55

the old Latin. It's called right

9:57

one. Most people that

9:59

go to my church for the early

10:01

service and right one are older

10:03

and they are socially conservative. They prefer

10:06

the old traditional language in the Catholic

10:08

what is similar. Older and more conservative

10:10

Catholics prefer the old Latin

10:13

mass. And this is this

10:15

is not even a theological issue in

10:17

the church. It's a linguistic

10:18

issue. You know what the problem with these agencies are? So that's

10:20

whether it's the FBI or the national archives or

10:23

the Smithsonian until they get caught.

10:25

They try to get away with it. So, you know, we we fought a

10:27

federal lawsuit against the national archives.

10:30

We fought a lawsuit against Missoni.

10:32

We are filing today a preliminary injunction

10:34

against the smithoni because they had the nerve I'm

10:36

sorry, against the national archives. Because

10:38

the national archives said the following as

10:41

they apologize to the hill.

10:43

And they communicated to us the lawyers and

10:45

our clients? No. They go right

10:47

to the media as their way to do it. That's you gotta be

10:50

in court against these people. And it says this,

10:52

the actions by the national archives,

10:54

and this is what it says, as the home to

10:56

the original constitution Bill of Rights, which

10:59

enshrines the rights of free speech and

11:01

religion. We sincerely apologize for this occurrence.

11:03

Sounds like the IRS. We apologize for

11:05

targeting you. National

11:07

archives policy allows visitors

11:10

to wear t shirts hats buttons that display protest

11:12

language, including religious and political speech,

11:14

We are actively investigating it to determine

11:17

what happened, and they said early indications

11:19

are, is that our security officers quickly

11:21

corrected their actions. And from that point

11:23

forward, all visitors worked a minute, tend to our

11:25

facility without needing to remove their or

11:28

cover their attire. Well, let me tell you something.

11:30

We had two separate instances an

11:32

hour apart. So it was, like, one was at ten,

11:34

one was at ten forty five. Separate

11:36

groups had the same experience, and I'm

11:39

sure there's more. So you know what it is?

11:41

It's the FBI. It's the national archives. National

11:43

archives, they can't find presidential

11:45

records that are, you know, top secret and classified,

11:48

but they can sure target students

11:50

that have a message that says, we are

11:52

the pro life generation. That they

11:54

can do. The FBI can't catch

11:56

the terrorist, but they're really

11:58

good at going after radical Catholics

12:00

because they have a Latin mass. I mean, this is

12:02

the problem with the federal government. And I'm gonna

12:04

tell you something. If anybody knows the abuse that's going

12:07

on in this, It's me and Jordan because we

12:09

represented a former president. I'm gonna say it.

12:11

It was an it was nonsense in twenty fifteen,

12:13

twenty sixteen, twenty seventeen, eighteen,

12:16

nineteen, and twenty. And

12:18

now we know the FBI's putting their finger on the

12:20

hands of the scales. We know what they've done to the social

12:22

media companies. Then you look at the situation

12:25

from Nicole Parker. She was a decade long

12:27

special

12:27

agent. That's

12:29

the problem. But

12:30

you can't let it out how bad it's gone. Yes.

12:32

But we can't let the national archives say,

12:35

oh, we apologize for violating

12:36

your first amendment. Your sponsor

12:38

What happened here? It didn't happen here. You're being

12:40

confused with what happened with Sonya, but then

12:42

they didn't read, I guess, that story completely

12:44

because that was our case too. And it said

12:47

it in the story they link back to us. So

12:49

they they they don't like being caught.

12:51

They start backtracking very

12:52

quickly. And when they start backtracking

12:55

quickly, usually those statements end up becoming

12:57

misstatements. But this is why you

12:59

don't even control for us. And this

13:01

is why you file an injunction

13:04

because it puts them on notice and

13:06

it moves quickly. And the key to success

13:08

in these cases, we've been doing it for forty years

13:10

is to get in there and move. Don't send

13:12

them a demand letter. We send them a preservation

13:15

letter saying don't get rid of your records because the lawsuit's

13:17

common. The lawsuit came and today the the next

13:19

part of lawsuit comes with the preliminary injunction,

13:21

but this is nonsense folks. And what the national

13:24

archives is doing, and what Smithsonian did,

13:26

and what the FBI is doing, is

13:28

outrageous. Totally outrageous.

13:31

The political bias in this is unreal.

13:34

Search warrant for the former president's

13:36

house a a no search

13:38

warrant for the current president's house even though

13:40

they now said that if they did agree to the

13:42

search, they would do it. They're they're searching Mike Pence's

13:44

house right now. Okay. You think this is the

13:46

national archives, like I said, they can't find it because

13:48

they can't find a classified document, but boy,

13:50

they can target a student. And unless you handle classified

13:53

documents and abuse an animal

13:54

correctly, you wouldn't be Colonel Smith? Absolutely

13:56

not, miss Smith. There are servicemen today

13:59

who who inadvertently mishandled classified

14:01

documents who have been sentenced to to jail

14:03

for

14:03

that.

14:04

Really? This is you know I research

14:06

it by Pence's

14:06

house right now. Well, it's disgusting. Yeah. Okay?

14:09

I mean, I don't care what political party you're with.

14:11

I don't like they had to do the search of Biden's

14:13

house. I don't like that they sent FBI just got

14:15

a search warrant on the former president. This is

14:17

like Venezuela. Yeah. I mean, but look

14:19

what the government has become. Early indications

14:21

are that our security officers quickly corrected

14:24

their actions. We'll tell the couple that went in

14:26

forty five minutes later, how quickly they did it.

14:28

By the that's also why you sue for

14:30

damages. Don't let him get away with us. No.

14:32

And, again, that's why we want you to support our work at

14:34

ACLJ. Because we're able

14:36

to do all this work and represent these clients,

14:38

protect our constitutional rights.

14:40

That means your constitutional rights too,

14:43

because of your financial support of the ACLJ.

14:45

These clients don't have to make decision about, oh,

14:47

do I need to hire a lawyer or not? We're

14:50

there at no cost to them. Representing

14:52

them in federal court right

14:54

away, working them walking them through

14:56

the process. They're brave folks for

14:58

speaking out and for standing up And

15:01

you're able to do that because of your support

15:03

of the

15:03

ACLJ. Yeah. And I encourage you to do that

15:05

at ACLJ dot org. That's ACLJ

15:08

dot Now we're gonna be on Sean Anley's broadcast.

15:11

We're hosting it this afternoon. So we got a lot

15:13

I'm I'm glad that Sean asked us to

15:15

do that. We've got a lot talk about and we're gonna

15:18

be on for the full three hours of Hannity's broadcast

15:20

this afternoon is three to six eastern

15:23

time. So you're gonna wanna stay tuned for that. We'll give

15:25

you more information. I'm sure we'll have some information.

15:27

We'll be posting on our social media to let you know

15:29

that that's happening. But again, if you're watching right now

15:31

or listening, it's gonna happen and we're thrilled

15:34

to be able, what a day to do it with all this going

15:36

on. It's gonna it's gonna be an incredible broadcast.

15:38

Support the work of the ACLJ as Jordan said,

15:41

folks, look. This is where

15:43

the rubber meets the road. We're on top of

15:45

this thing with the FBI today. I'm holding

15:47

in my hand the draft of the letter. The demand

15:49

letter is going in today. Got

15:51

it already. ACLJ dot org.

16:07

Alright. Welcome back to I wanna play this

16:09

out from congressman Jim Dorvin

16:11

chairman of the House Judiciary Committee. He's also chairing

16:13

a special sub committee on the weaponization of

16:16

the federal government. These agencies had

16:18

their first hearing yesterday. We played the FBI

16:20

agent who testified, therefore, were

16:22

special agent about how it's been politicized

16:25

from the very top in Washington, but that its

16:27

tentacles have now reached the field offices.

16:29

We have exact ahead

16:32

of evidence of that because of this letter, it's

16:34

out of the Richmond office of the FBI targeting

16:37

Catholics and specifically the

16:39

Latin men and they call, you know, radical,

16:42

traditional Catholics. Just

16:45

that word coming from our federal government.

16:48

You know, they they they don't like the free exercise

16:50

of religion, but they love

16:52

that, you know, this idea that they could get involved.

16:55

And and defining religious people.

16:58

They have no issue

16:59

doing, I guess. Jib Jordan, though, take

17:01

a listen by fourteen. In my time in

17:03

congress, I have never seen anything like

17:05

this. Dozens and dozens

17:07

of whistleblower. FBI agents coming

17:09

to us talking about what's

17:11

going on the political nature at the justice

17:13

department. Not Jim Jordan saying

17:15

this, not Republicans, not conservatives,

17:18

good brave FBI agents who are willing

17:20

to come forward and give us the truth.

17:23

And this comes, of course, on the heels

17:25

of a FBI memo

17:28

from the Richmond field office called

17:30

interests of racially or ethnically motivated

17:33

violent extremists in radical traditionalist

17:36

Catholic ideology. And they're talking

17:39

about going into Latin mass churches, professor Harry

17:41

Hutchison's with

17:41

Harry, what's your reaction on this? Well, Jay,

17:44

who would have thought that more

17:46

than fifty years after the

17:48

death of Jay Edgar

17:50

Hoover. That the FBI would

17:52

be caught targeting conservative

17:55

Christians simply because they prefer

17:57

the Latin mass or a more

18:00

traditional approach to

18:02

Catholicism. Jay,

18:04

who would have thought that the FBI

18:06

would engage in behavior that

18:09

threatens the free exercise of

18:12

religion,

18:13

particularly if people who support

18:16

the Latin mass

18:17

or who alternatively oppose

18:20

abortion. So apparently, opposing

18:23

abortion IN THE VIEW

18:25

OF THE FBI IS NOW

18:27

SEEN AS SUPPORT FOR WHITE

18:29

SUPREMACY. THAT IS SIMPLY

18:32

A RADICULOUS CLAIM. Then you got this thing

18:34

with the national archives getting out there saying,

18:36

oh, you know, this reminds me of the lowest level. Oh, we apologize

18:38

for that for targeting these people. And we're not we

18:41

only happen for a short period of time, which by the way

18:43

is not true based on our complaint. And

18:45

that's why, again, we're gonna I'm we've Jordan

18:47

and I authorized the staff today to file

18:49

a preliminary injunction on that case because I

18:51

I see what's happening here. With this case,

18:54

look at the FBI, it's all it's all the same.

18:56

It's it's only a reaction from

18:58

the government when they get caught.

19:01

Right. Every statement proactive.

19:03

No. They're issuing statements about that

19:05

memo doesn't reflect the high standards

19:07

of the FBI. But if it didn't

19:09

get leaked, that memo would still be good

19:11

memo. Within the Richmond field offices.

19:13

Here's what the FBI say, well, standard practice

19:16

is to not comment comment on specific

19:18

intelligence products. That's what they call this, by the

19:20

way. Intelligence products. This particular

19:22

field office product disseminated

19:25

only within the FBI. But

19:27

it didn't go to the CIA. It

19:29

didn't go to secret service. Just the FBI

19:32

regarding racially or ethnically motivated

19:34

violent extremism does not meet the standards,

19:36

the exact sticking standards of the FBI.

19:38

Upon learning of the document, FBI

19:41

headquarters quickly began taking

19:43

action to remove the document from the FBI

19:45

system and conduct a review of

19:48

the basis for the document. The FBI is committed

19:50

to sound analytic trade crap. But

19:52

listen to that one line. Upon

19:54

learning of the document, the FBI headquarters

19:57

quickly began taking action. Here's

20:00

the national archives. Upon

20:02

learning of this, the security

20:04

personnel themselves quickly.

20:07

This must be the government's new word.

20:09

Quickly. So I got quickly with the FBI. I

20:11

got quickly with the national archives. Quickly

20:13

corrected their actions. And from that

20:15

point forward, all visitors were permitted

20:17

to enter while with their insignia. Quickly,

20:21

In other words, not caught, not happening. Right.

20:24

The fact is that they think they can do

20:26

this. Target the pro life group,

20:28

go after traditionalist Catholics. We know

20:30

in both situations of the Smithsonian

20:32

and national archives, our clients

20:35

did saw people with political messages

20:38

in that on hats and t shirts

20:41

when they were walking around. No one was

20:43

acting up. No one was protesting. Those

20:45

people should have the right to do that too. But

20:48

in fact, at the International Archives, they're

20:50

they they passed by a couple who were wearing

20:52

Pro Choice, by

20:54

by

20:54

Adi, my choice shirt said pro choice

20:57

shirt said they were not asked to cover those

20:59

messages. Yeah. I'm I'm asking this question here. I

21:01

mean, think about this. I mean, everything's quickly. We're

21:03

gonna fix this. But the fact of the matter is,

21:05

there's there's an underpinning here. They're

21:07

obviously being told these things, these government agencies.

21:09

Someone is coming up and saying, this is a good

21:12

idea. Have the FBI go after traditionalist

21:14

Catholics? Somebody is telling the national archives

21:16

and and and the federal protective

21:18

services. Hey, if somebody comes in with pro life message

21:20

on their shirt, remove it. Tell them to get

21:22

it off. Someone's telling them to do this. think

21:24

your analysis is bought on. Someone

21:27

is indeed telling FBI agents

21:30

to go after traditionalist Catholics.

21:32

Someone is telling individuals

21:35

with the national archives to go after

21:38

individuals who come in

21:40

with pro life insignia. I

21:42

think that someone or somebody

21:45

is simply the leadership of the

21:47

DOJ, the leadership of

21:49

the FBI. They have

21:51

triggered these mimos

21:53

that have now been

21:54

leaked, and they quickly back away

21:56

--

21:57

Completely. -- their favorite part. No Americans

21:59

should believe the FBI when

22:01

they say they do not necessarily support

22:04

this activity. I THINK WHAT

22:06

WE NEED IS A CONTINUING INVESTIGATION

22:09

OF THE FBI WHICH WE'RE DOING WILL

22:11

THE FBI BEGAN TO ACT

22:13

IN THE INTEREST of ordinary

22:15

Americans. You know what we should say? This program should be titled

22:17

quickly because quickly the FBI

22:20

took action on this memo and quickly removed

22:22

it from its system. And by the way, good news

22:24

It was quickly only distributed to the

22:26

FBI. It didn't make it to the CIA. It's

22:28

just the FBI. And

22:29

it'd already Based on these odds

22:31

and text with it. Oh, yeah. Because they they could get

22:33

people inside. Right. Don't worry. The national archives.

22:35

Quickly. Quickly fix this. Yeah. Just

22:37

happened to three hours hours later.

22:39

Five thousand people going through there quickly.

22:42

This is the nonsense of the this is why

22:44

folks were in federal court on They only

22:45

apologized.

22:46

They only say they're gonna retrain after

22:48

they get caught. This is why we're in federal

22:51

court against the national archives

22:53

and the Smithsonian. This is why

22:55

the demand for Freedom Information Act

22:57

is going out today to the FBI.

23:00

We're not waiting to take action on this. We're taking

23:02

action right now. And that's where you come in,

23:04

by the way, folks, support the work of the ACLJ

23:07

at ACLJ dot org. That's how we do

23:09

all of

23:09

this. You're gonna hear from some of our students coming

23:12

up that are involved in these cases because this is

23:14

interesting. This is very interesting to

23:16

see what is transpired because those students

23:18

it wasn't so quickly

23:19

-- Oh. -- and they got caught.

23:22

And the FBI's got caught.

23:24

The national archives is caught. The Smithsonian's

23:26

caught. It it's it's nonsense

23:29

folks. Now we're hosting Hannity's radio.

23:31

Sean Hannity's radio broadcast is afternoon for three

23:33

24:09

you to do that as well. Support the

24:11

work of the ACLJ financially. It's

24:13

how we do all of this

24:15

work. That's why we have that

24:17

team of attorneys were talking about saying get that preliminary

24:20

judge out today? That's because of your

24:22

financial support of the ACLJ.

24:25

It's ACLJ dot org.

24:27

That's where you donate. And again,

24:29

this is this is an important

24:32

time to donate because our work as you

24:36

It is there's there's a lot of different clients

24:38

here, and we need your support. We wanna

24:40

make sure we're protecting your constitutional

24:43

24:46

especially where they are under attack, by

24:48

the executive branch at the federal

24:51

Government ACLJ dot org

24:53

will be right back. Keeping

25:00

you informed and in game. Now,

25:03

more than ever. This is Sekulow.

25:07

And now your host, Jordan Sekulow.

25:10

Hey, welcome back to Sekilo. We are taking your calls'

25:12

conference one eight hundred and sixty eight four thirty one

25:14

ten. Go to ACLJ dot org. You

25:16

make those that aren't, of course, the social

25:18

media sites you're maybe watching this on if

25:20

you're listening as well. We have a lot

25:22

to talk about today, this part of the

25:24

show, to get you updated on. Because

25:26

we filed two federal lawsuits

25:29

this week on behalf of

25:31

pro life activist who

25:34

attended the march for life and then decided

25:36

they'd like to visit one of the federally

25:38

funded taxpayer funded

25:40

museums in Washington DC. And

25:43

in each case, whether it was a student

25:45

group at the national air and

25:47

space museum in Washington DC or

25:50

another group of of what

25:52

mix of students, law school students

25:54

and parents at the national archives,

25:57

they were all harassed by

25:59

federal security services.

26:02

What is office of protective services? What

26:04

is the federal services? And

26:07

so federal protective services,

26:10

we have filed these lawsuits in federal

26:11

court. Yes. Yes. So it's Jordan says two of them,

26:14

two separate cases, both involving

26:16

the same day, and that is it was the day of

26:18

the National The March for Life event.

26:20

And what happened was these group of students

26:22

and others after the events

26:24

went to the museums. And some went to the Smithsonian

26:27

and some went to the

26:29

National Archives Museum. What's

26:31

interesting is in both incidents and

26:34

Zach actually three incidents because there's two at

26:36

the national archives. The

26:38

what happened and this is to me, is the the fascinating

26:40

part of this. In both instances, if

26:43

you were wearing a pro life hat or a t

26:45

shirt or a sweatshirt that said

26:47

pro life or I'm for life for the

26:49

pro life generation, security

26:52

personnel, which has offered some protective

26:54

services or federal protective services, both

26:56

government agencies, told these individuals

26:58

to take their take their particular

27:01

items off, whether it was the hat or the

27:03

or the shirt with the statement on it.

27:05

Now that violates the constitution. And, of course,

27:07

there were other people in there, of course, that had all

27:09

kinds of insignia on, and we're making all kinds

27:11

of messages. But what's interesting here, and

27:14

I think what's important for everybody to understand is

27:16

that at the end of this, The result

27:18

was we we filed letters last week

27:20

saying, preserve your deck documents because we're

27:22

gonna get to the bottom of this. And then our team

27:24

got together and we decided that the way to get

27:26

to the bottom of this was to file federal litigation

27:29

and we did

27:29

that. Yeah. That's right. Because in this facility,

27:31

it's case, they started backtracking immediately.

27:33

It's say, we've retrained these officers.

27:36

They finally, they actually said the word

27:38

apology. They didn't do that initially. But

27:41

we don't know how they retrade those officers.

27:43

We want a court to review that to make sure

27:45

that was done in a way that protects the constitutional

27:48

rights of all visitors to

27:50

this custodian. Then when you go to the National

27:52

Archives, they tried to throw it back on this custodian.

27:55

They said, no. No. No. did happen here.

27:57

You're mistaken. And then they linked the Fox

27:59

News article and it Catholic News Agency

28:02

article about our lawsuit

28:04

against this

28:04

custodian. And we were alleging, no,

28:07

national archives You did it too.

28:09

We made the joke and you made it too that

28:11

the national archives can't keep up with, you

28:14

know, top secret documents, former presidents,

28:16

presidents, and vice presidents. But they could sure

28:18

target these pro life students. The net

28:20

result of this is we went to federal court. Now,

28:23

we're gonna give you this is a little bit of

28:25

a look back here. So you can hear from students

28:27

that were involved in this and get an analysis

28:29

at in real time while this was going

28:31

on. Also, as you know, we've been mentioning this during

28:33

the broadcast, Jordan and I, Logan, too,

28:35

are gonna be hosting Sean Hannity's

28:38

radio broadcast right after we're done with

28:40

this this afternoon. So you wanna stay tuned

28:42

for that you get you, just go to entity dot com.

28:44

You could download information there.

28:45

And, of course, we're on your local radio stations

28:47

as well. Yeah.

28:48

And I encourage you, again, to support the work of the

28:50

ACL I think what you're

28:51

gonna do it in these next

28:53

couple of segments is a a clear

28:55

reason why your financial contributions

28:58

to the ACLJ are just

29:00

so important. In fact, it's

29:02

why we're able to go to all these different students,

29:04

various parts, parents, different states,

29:07

different situations. And offer

29:09

our services at absolutely no cost

29:11

to them. And they're able to fight for

29:13

all of our constitutional rights because

29:15

of your financial support of the

29:17

ACLJ, they don't have to pay

29:19

a thing to have excellent legal

29:22

services and attorneys working on their

29:24

behalf. Now it's critical. And again,

29:26

ACLJ dot org for that, ACLJ

29:29

dot org. Again, we're gonna be on

29:31

Hannity hosting his radio broadcast.

29:33

We're gonna be hosting for Sean today. Again,

29:35

support the work of the ACLJ. What week to

29:37

do it? With all the activity we've had, ACLJ

29:40

dot org, that's ACLJ dot org,

29:42

up updates coming next, and again,

29:44

tune in this afternoon as we host

29:46

the Hannity Radio broadcast. We're gonna be back with

29:49

more in just a moment.

30:04

Good question, Caving for Ruffle. I

30:06

like our audience. So they specifically

30:08

are the security guards directly hired by the museums,

30:10

so they are federal. This is the federal protective

30:13

services. Is this facility? When it

30:15

comes to national archives, it

30:17

is the office of protective services,

30:19

which is run directly by the archives. So

30:21

federal employees, large

30:23

training. So the custodian That that's why

30:26

I wanna get to the training here.

30:28

Because these officers, it

30:30

wasn't just like the National Air and Space

30:32

Museum, decided they were gonna target

30:34

pro life that day. We know that.

30:36

We know that because we have other clients from other museums

30:39

that this was a theme going

30:41

through the trading of the federal

30:43

protective services and office of protective

30:46

services. So great question there. But just to update

30:48

you, we have filed a lawsuit the ACLJ

30:51

directly against the custodian. More

30:53

lawsuits are coming against other museums

30:56

in Washington, DC all related

30:58

to that day, January twentieth, March for life.

31:01

We stand up for free speech start in in

31:03

our country. We stand up for the first deliberate

31:05

rights of our clients. And

31:07

this is this interesting situation because

31:09

they pick on young people. Students

31:12

who are just going about their day or

31:14

to visit the aerospace museum Check

31:17

out some exhibits, see some cool stuff,

31:19

and go home. And yet they make

31:21

them out to be like they're engaged

31:24

in some kind of illegal activity. So

31:26

if you read through our complaint, it's not just

31:28

about declaring that this was

31:30

unconstitutional under the with

31:32

cop too. So first amendment, fifth amendment, the

31:34

religious freedom restoration act, we wanted

31:37

a junction, damages. Because

31:40

as I told you, they threatened these students Logan

31:42

with follow-up

31:43

action, that's pretty scary. Yeah. Exactly.

31:45

If you're these kids who are just coming to this, you're doing the

31:47

march for life science brains to be out there. And do

31:49

the march for life, but also you're coming from a Catholic

31:51

school and these kind of things are sort of normal

31:54

in that culture. You get there. You do your

31:56

march. Like, well, we're here in Washington DC. We might as

31:58

well. See some of the sites. You go over to the air

32:00

and space museum. Like I said, see some

32:02

planes. See some cool stuff. Yeah. And you're

32:04

getting harassed. And then all of a sudden, you're right. But

32:07

start flashing in your eyes. I'm sure when when

32:09

this starts happening, it's like you said, these kids

32:11

know that this stuff can last on the Internet forever.

32:13

You saw the situation. Before with

32:15

with kids who are out there, who got kind of

32:17

false identified as protesters who were getting

32:20

in the face. Yeah. You're just school student. Yeah.

32:22

You've seen these things before, and I'm sure that's going through their

32:24

head going. Well, this could be a, you

32:26

know, beginning of an end situation here,

32:28

and and that's not a good thing. But that's

32:30

why we're here to make sure that this gets

32:32

taken care of. And it also is clear, as you

32:34

said, that the Smithsonian had

32:36

completely messed up in their training because

32:38

they for some reason had this maybe

32:40

not justice with Sonya, they had taught

32:43

whoever the security guards are that

32:45

this is something that was brutal

32:48

enough that they should

32:50

not just ask people to leave in

32:52

a polite way or ask them to change. It

32:54

got aggressive. It got profanity laced.

32:57

And like you said, one of the security guards said, yeah.

32:59

This is gonna make my day This

33:02

is not a good thing. It's simply not Washington

33:05

state. It's been sent by a federal government. You

33:07

know, that they've set the toe that the ping pro

33:09

life is is the enemy. Even

33:11

though the Supreme Court agrees with these two that

33:14

now the Supreme Court's illegitimate. And

33:16

the Supreme Court's illegitimate, pro life speech

33:18

is illegitimate, pro life pregnancy sitters. You know

33:20

fact that they had to put up a twenty five thousand dollar

33:22

reward with the FBI to fire the people who fire bomb?

33:25

Why can't they find the people who fire bomb?

33:27

You know, it's wonderful to have those rewards,

33:29

but like, they have no leads. Why are we

33:31

having to do all the work for the FBI to

33:33

find anybody? Because they really don't want to.

33:35

They don't want to use their resources. To find the

33:37

people who are attacking pro life practices because

33:40

those are places of misadis, information,

33:43

if you believe, the Biden administration. In

33:46

the left. So this attack

33:48

on pro light speech, though, we've seen it before,

33:51

it I'd say it's a two point o situation. And

33:53

in this case, I want you to listen to the student.

33:56

This is Patrick Murphy. So this is

33:58

the third time they approached. By

34:00

security. They are literally leaving.

34:03

K? They're they're going out to try to go out the

34:06

door. And that's not

34:07

enough. This facility and security had to step in

34:09

yet again Take a listen.

34:11

A large man as we were walking out

34:13

because we had to catch our bus. Right.

34:15

And

34:17

he comes up to us rubbing his hands

34:19

together, saying y'all are about to make my day.

34:21

And he tells us he's got reports saying,

34:24

we we said no to taking our

34:26

hats off and we're in trouble for

34:28

some for some odd reason.

34:31

And one of the students repeats the

34:33

talking point saying, it's used

34:35

for identification. And

34:37

he wasn't having it. I then

34:39

said, this is a a violation

34:41

of our person on our right. This is a government funded

34:43

building. Wow. He said it's a neutral

34:46

zone and that

34:48

doesn't apply here. Okay.

34:51

What? They pick out the wrong shoes. I like to they

34:53

figure out these students who actually they

34:55

come from a classical school. They know about

34:57

the constitution. They know about the first to be bit.

34:59

Right. And their response back is not

35:02

again, they don't just they're they're respectful.

35:05

Yep. They're nice, but they're like, this doesn't

35:07

seem like a nice get a question. No. No.

35:09

Why why? They said, I couldn't believe this is happening to

35:11

us. It was like a story on TV. Yeah.

35:13

And here it is happening to us and it was like, not

35:15

just once, twice three

35:17

times at about a half hour. Yep. They're

35:19

being followed around the museum, chasing around the

35:21

museum. And we do have to represent

35:24

the tea tea party groups, the Ira, this

35:26

doesn't happen randomly.

35:28

Yeah. No. I can already tell people.

35:30

We have clients from other museums. We're

35:32

we're likely about to sue the national archives next.

35:35

So that's copy. Yeah. They have their own security

35:37

service, but it's all under this federal protective

35:39

services. And, again,

35:42

national archives. Can't keep track classified

35:44

doc but but they can't go after your

35:46

your pro life t

35:48

shirt. This would said pro life

35:50

generation, really controversial Yeah. I

35:52

mean, a lot of people are watching right now and probably

35:54

they may have had this situation happen too. We

35:56

we have a lot of of people who go do the march for

35:59

life. Listen to this broadcast. So if this happened

36:01

to you or something like this or you know someone that

36:03

this had a kinda harassment happen to, go to

36:05

our website. Go to ACLJ dot org. Slash

36:07

help. Make sure you put in information. You never know what

36:09

we can do. Obviously, we provide our legal services. There's

36:12

also a way for you to get involved right now. We have launched

36:14

a new petition You can go to

36:16

ACLJ dot org. You'll see it right

36:18

now. There's a petition seventy over seventy

36:20

thousand people have signed it just since we launched

36:22

it. And I would love for you to get involved.

36:24

That way, you could stay up to date on the case. Yeah.

36:26

So we go to ACLJ dot org. You sign that petition

36:28

that does across a thing and we want you to stay up to speed

36:31

on this. I told you, This is just lawsuit

36:33

one. We filed the the initial

36:36

documents with the national archives to

36:38

preserve their information. So we've already

36:40

taken some actually there. I haven't actually

36:42

filed the legal complaint. If you wanna read the legal complaint,

36:44

it's online at ACLJ dot org as well.

36:47

If you have questions about this one eight hundred 684

36:49

thirty one ten, We're gonna talk about state of the

36:51

union. We're gonna get into that Rick

36:53

Gerdell's gonna be joining a second half out of the broadcast. It's

36:55

we're gonna spit up whole half out of the broadcast. On

36:57

politics, state of the union. So if you got

37:00

calls and questions about that, I'd say you start

37:02

putting them in the next ten minutes or so,

37:04

and we'll take those calls as well. Of course,

37:06

I'll ask the question that we would usually have to

37:08

say to you today, which is what would you like to hear, but what

37:10

do you think we're gonna hear? And of course, give us

37:12

a call at one eight hundred 6843110

37:16

Another rubble comment, you know, because it bazes me that

37:18

someone can wear something that's violent profane.

37:21

Of course, nothing is said to

37:22

them, but you wear something that says pro life it's

37:24

a crisis. Yeah. And

37:26

it is bunch of people. I mean,

37:28

telling these students, something

37:30

is gonna be written up about them. think

37:33

that's the final kicker in this situation.

37:36

It's one thing to even say take it off and

37:38

then you put it back on into kinda curse

37:40

at you, which they did curse at them.

37:42

It's a whole another thing to say that there's gonna be some

37:44

follow-up action by that

37:46

officer. Like the federal government may come

37:48

knocking on your door because you've

37:51

put your head on -- Yeah. -- which is what

37:53

he implied as they were on their way out.

37:55

And again, these are kids who would tell you. They

37:57

were tired. They were just going to the museum

37:59

with words that we cannot say on the radio. No.

38:03

No. I mean, who

38:04

aren't that your federal security guards shouldn't

38:06

be saying on the job anyway,

38:08

especially the minors.

38:09

Yeah. Especially

38:10

groups of kids. You'll probably

38:12

read about it on our website We do. You wanna

38:14

if you're if you're trying to figure it out, just go to ACLJ

38:16

dot org, we'll figure it out for you.

38:19

And as well, We want you

38:21

to take action here. You could sign the petition, so there's

38:23

a way to get involved through our petition to

38:25

defend pro life speech. The

38:28

second way you can, of course, get involved is we're able to represent

38:30

all these clients and put all these resources

38:32

forward. It just has,

38:34

you know, weak

38:36

that this has been building up, getting all the info,

38:38

getting it all prepared because

38:41

of your financial support at ACLJ. We

38:43

can't do that without you. So we're

38:45

able to represent the students at no cost to

38:47

them. What I will tell you is

38:49

still something very important

38:51

here is that this additional group

38:53

is always the key group that speaks up.

38:56

It comes to us and we contact

38:58

it is willing to go out of due to Hannity,

39:01

willing to come out of broadcast, willing to put

39:03

themselves forward, but their faces did. We

39:05

hear from other people. Because people think,

39:07

oh, maybe this was just AAAAA security guard

39:10

or having a bad day or a one off

39:12

incident, and then you realized because they

39:14

spoke up these brave students

39:16

speak up. And we've seen this so many

39:18

times in ACLJ history. Sixteen

39:20

and seventeen year olds speaking up for

39:22

rights that become again

39:25

major cases to define your

39:27

your first amendment rights --

39:29

Yeah. -- and our freedoms. Yes. We have kids

39:31

and also brave parents that are willing let

39:33

their kids go out there and make these statements

39:35

and be part of this because we know that it's tough. We

39:38

we know that it's a lot different even now than it

39:40

was in the nineties or the two thousands in the

39:42

social media generation, as you know. These

39:44

pictures don't go away. These faces don't go

39:46

away. So there's a lot of brave people out there.

39:48

A lot of brave families who willing to take these stands,

39:50

make a vocal statement about it. And we

39:52

are thrilled to represent them and

39:54

hopefully get some justice for them. And

39:56

then that's the whole point here is to provide justice

39:59

for these kids who

40:01

were unjustly targeted for

40:03

doing nothing. Yep. So you can yeah.

40:05

You can be a part of it by the way too. Go to

40:07

ACLJ dot org. We are gonna take some phone calls, Jordan

40:09

said. Also, on the state of the union

40:11

tonight, give us a call one eight hundred 684

40:13

thirty one ten. Join post a good question, which

40:15

is What do you wish? President Biden

40:18

would say in that state of the union? And what

40:20

do you think he's gonna say? What would be your

40:22

top priority? And what do you know will

40:24

be what with spoken. Give us a call.

40:26

We'd love to hear your thoughts. One eight hundred 684

40:28

thirty one ten lines are open. But

40:30

again, visit ACLJ dot org right now to not

40:33

40:39

40:41

40:43

40:46

40:48

the top leading minds in the entire

40:50

Movements. We'll go to ACLJ dot

40:53

org and we'll be right back one eight hundred 684

40:55

thirty one

40:56

ten. Calls now. Think

41:06

your phone calls to one eight hundred 684 thirty

41:09

one ten. As we were talking about, it does show the

41:11

breath of the work that we do at the ACLJ. On

41:13

the one hand, We filed a foia with

41:15

national archives in the matter of the classified documents,

41:17

the rating of of Marlboro, the president

41:20

Biden, why why why this this treatment?

41:22

Why now did you go to the Biden

41:25

pinned center? Why then did you go to

41:27

the home in Delaware, the beach house?

41:29

Than, of course, to the vice president's home as

41:31

well. And and what what started all

41:33

of this? What was the the purpose behind the

41:35

the Biden move Was it because

41:37

of the Trump move? Was it because of something else?

41:40

So, again, we've got

41:42

that filed, and they have until

41:44

Monday to respond. They put it on expedited

41:46

Foyer response because they did that for

41:49

Trump on the Trump documents, so they kinda had to

41:51

do that for the Biden documents. We'll

41:53

see if that meets our criteria

41:56

as a as a, you know, a good faith response.

41:58

If not, we'll have to file a lawsuit there. But

42:00

we have already filed a lawsuit to involve

42:02

a two legal act with national archives. Because,

42:05

of course, they can't handle classified documents, but

42:07

you know what they can do? Horacio if you

42:09

got a pro life t shirt on.

42:12

And you're you're quiet. You just wanna go see

42:14

the declaration of independence or the

42:16

constitution. You're following the rules,

42:18

you know, no flash no photography because that there

42:20

was a little document. And they tell

42:22

you, take your shirt off or

42:25

There's just a rat. Where's

42:27

it supposed I mean, all of that Again,

42:29

there were people in the museum at the same

42:31

time one of our clients saw

42:33

and testified to that they

42:36

I were wearing pro abortion shirts

42:38

and hats while they were

42:39

there. No one was harassing them. So we

42:41

are now in federal court. So to be clear,

42:43

we're in federal court in two separate

42:46

cases. One involving the

42:48

Smithsonian and then three separate incidents

42:50

at the National archives.

42:52

Yeah. And it is ridiculous because

42:54

like Jordan said, they were literally asked

42:57

to remove their shirts. And

42:59

I know that they, you know, the national archives

43:01

say no, we we really don't know about this or

43:03

but it sure seemed like a concerted

43:06

effort because not only did you have

43:08

all of the security guards participate in

43:11

it. You even had people in the

43:13

gift store participating saying

43:15

you can't have that in here. So it sounds like

43:17

somebody certainly told them if anybody

43:19

comes in today with any kind of

43:21

pro life t shirt on, they're

43:24

to be targeted. And it is ironic

43:26

that these people literally were standing

43:28

next to the declaration of independence in

43:30

all these documents that, you know,

43:33

protect and declare are god given

43:35

rights to free speech, and yet they're

43:37

told they have to take these shirts

43:39

off. The constitution, the declaration of independence,

43:41

get the amendment the United States constitution guaranteeing

43:43

freedom of speech, and the national archives, which is

43:45

the trust that's holding the documents. You know,

43:47

it says, let's target pro lifers, but this is systematic

43:50

folks. That's what we're gonna find out. This is a

43:52

systematic attack that was was

43:54

done on these students. And these and it's not all students,

43:56

by the way, there are there are adults on this as well.

43:58

So we're in federal court in two separate cases.

44:01

We're gonna see how the what the government responds,

44:03

and we are prepared to move for a preliminary injunction

44:05

as well. And then at the same time, as we talk

44:07

about the national archives, we're also going after

44:10

them as it relates to the classified documents

44:13

issue. But as it relates to the pro

44:15

life issue. Here's the issue. As

44:17

I see at Jordan right now, the pro life

44:19

fight is taking on a multidimensional approach

44:23

right now. It's in the states as far as the

44:25

right to abortion. It's in regulations

44:27

in the federal government and in the free

44:30

speech

44:30

arena. It's the targeting of the prologue, man.

44:32

It's also taken action because of the

44:34

the ability to now just prescribed

44:37

through telemedicine, the abortion pill,

44:39

r u forty six, and we we discussed it.

44:41

If you add CVS, Walgreens, and Rite

44:43

Aid together, that's twenty thousand, and they're all

44:45

distributing it. Twenty thousand new

44:48

abortion clinics in the United States.

44:50

That was a Biden policy. We're fighting back

44:52

on that again because of the procedures

44:54

that they did not follow to institute

44:56

that -- Exactly. -- rule. So, I mean, on

44:59

on every matter, whether is the actual abortion

45:01

procedure itself? Are you forty six? ACLJ

45:03

taking action, whether it is

45:06

the pro life speech, ACLJ

45:08

taking

45:09

action, whether it's the pro life pregnancy centers,

45:11

ACLJ taking action. Yeah. And on the crisis

45:14

pregnancy centers, our pro life resource centers

45:16

are now called, the fact is there

45:18

we've got both regulatory issues. States

45:20

trying to regulate them out existence that may are on

45:22

the front lines of this fight. But we also

45:24

have vandalism, and now the department of

45:26

justice starting to look at it finally, sort

45:28

of. But that's,

45:29

again, it didn't have and without the ACLJ

45:31

involvement in this. Right. And privacy resource

45:34

centers, we've been representing them and defending

45:36

them for decades, and we will continue

45:38

to do so bet. Because as you said, They're

45:40

the ones on the front line. They're the ones where

45:42

the ladies are coming and getting the

45:44

the full information on the decision that they're

45:46

making to you know, and a life

45:48

of their child. And so they absolutely

45:51

are targeted all the time by the government

45:54

and by individuals, as we've seen

45:56

with Jane's revenge. And so we have been

45:58

defending them both from the government and

46:01

the vandalism attacks. Yeah. I

46:03

I think let's go over the phones. One eight hundred

46:05

684 thirty one ten. All this, by the

46:07

way, online ACLJ dot

46:09

org. Jerry in Rhode Island online too.

46:11

Hey, Jerry. Hello, team.

46:14

Question on what are we seeking the

46:16

lawsuits? Are we exceeding monetary

46:18

things? Are we stating attempting

46:21

injunctive relief? And are these entities?

46:23

Are they privately owned entities? Are these

46:25

federally funded entities? The federal

46:27

employees? And in

46:29

fact, are we suing ourselves taxpayer

46:31

way. Alright. Here's what you got. So it's a good question. Let's put

46:33

the complaint up on the screen so our audience is watching

46:35

this on any of our social media apps and see it.

46:37

It's in the US district court I'm using

46:39

right now the one that we filed today because they're

46:41

basically very similar. This is the one against

46:43

the national archives. So as far as the

46:46

the the Smithsonian is a federal entity,

46:49

but not a federal agency. The

46:52

age the national archives is a federal

46:54

agency, but they're both under federal control.

46:57

One has the office of protective services.

46:59

The other has federal protective services.

47:01

I think most of those report to either the Department

47:03

of Interior or Homeland Security. So it's it's government.

47:07

Our prayer relief asked for a declaration that

47:09

the actions violated the plaintiff's rights under

47:11

the first amendment and also

47:13

under the fifth amendment. And declared that the

47:15

actions violated the plaintiff's rights under the

47:17

religious freedom restoration act. So that is what's

47:19

called a declaratory judgment. Then we

47:21

ask for an injunction, which is like K.

47:23

Permanent injunction will probably be moving

47:25

for preliminary injunction as well. Enjoying

47:28

all the defendants and those acting in concert with

47:30

them from unlawfully targeting the plaintiffs for

47:32

desperate treatment and particularly scrutiny

47:35

based on content and viewpoint. Are

47:37

you the case in nineteen

47:40

ninety and also in nineteen eighty seven,

47:42

the Jews were Jesus in eighty seven, nineteen ninety

47:44

lamb chapel, viewpoint discrimination, never

47:46

constitutional, regardless of the nature of the

47:48

forum, Then we want damages. So we've

47:50

asked for damages against the

47:53

defendants as well. And then

47:55

we also have asked for training. So

47:57

mandatory mandated training by the

47:59

court. So there's a lot asked for

48:01

in this complaint. Yeah. And I think the training

48:03

part is, you know, particularly a

48:05

good request

48:07

because although we

48:10

have seen, hey, that, you know, we are gonna

48:12

make sure that we train them correctly. Well, you

48:14

didn't in the first place clearly

48:16

because this happened. Why didn't you have

48:18

training before this? Now you're

48:20

implementing training, but we can't trust that

48:22

the training now you're implementing

48:25

on your own is good. So our

48:27

request is that the court approves this

48:29

training to make sure that they're actually

48:31

training people that they cannot violate

48:34

their first amendment rights, their fifth amendment

48:37

rights, and their rights under the religious freedom

48:39

restoration act. So hopefully, the

48:41

court will come along and make sure

48:43

that the training is adequate because these

48:45

people were
