Is secular today.
The ACLJ Sue's ministry, my Washington DC sink below one 800 684110. Now you secular. This is Logan Sekulow here with user of secular will pay got a lot to cover today. Today is the last day of our magic child, but more importantly we are today suing the Biden administration. Yes, you've probably been hoping and wishing that that would happen but unfortunately has to happen because they simply don't respond if they break the rules and some of the rules are usually submitted for your request for information request specifically about use of aborted baby feel part of. No, not something that's really want to address always on the air, but it's just the truth is the truth is hard to hear. No response will method what you have to do when you're the ACL drink.
That's what were not just a radio show were not just a media organization sure you get to listen to us each and every day or watch us on Facebook or watch us on YouTube and a lot of that is because you do support the organization@aclj.org was averagely immensely important. There is a ton of crew around me. This is how we get things done. That's how we pay for that. However, I know this is what other shows can't do, which is we take people to court and who are we suing today the Biden administration because they are not listening.
They're not responding there breaking the rules and sometimes you have to take things a step higher to get a response, and we even will this first segment should play this came up even yesterday this just last couple days, came up to Jen Saki about specifically the use of a fetal baby parts for research. So take a listen to this really set up. We need no I think I think that this is an issue that a lot of people are concerned about right now because the trump administration actually move to stop this taxpayer funding of this research in the Biden administration and in their first hundred days, one of the first things they wanted to bring back was this so there was a question from a reporter in the press briefing on April 27. Let's take a listen to by 20 to hear what Jen Saki had to say.
Researchers using tissue from a list of abortions in the US conference of bishops, leaders of the President so reaction is deeply offensive to millions of Americans for tax to be used for research that collaborates with an industry built on the taking of innocent lives in that specific area that respectfully disagree. And we believe that it's important to invest in science and and look for opportunities to cure diseases and I think that's what this is helpful to do just blows passages as it's fine, you know, nothing to see here move along move along.
Let's keep going but we really short answer, especially when it comes to the President's faith that is faith leaders say this is immoral.
This is so that we have to deal with, but will we are taking them to court rock and let it just pass by that way. That's right, the freedom of information act is a law that gives the American people the right to get certain information from the government and when we ask the government for this information. A lot of times they either give us an insufficient answer or no answer. And so what we do we file a lawsuit. Unfortunately we have to do it often, but were really good at it, because we do it so often because the bureaucracy does not want to give us the information here will get the answers. Look sometimes it takes a while so that is not quick fixes, but you have to do this we have government positions like the ACLJ Bennett right now in our Washington DC office will talk to him in the next segment about this. Some of the other topics organ address today. There's a lot happening right now us in time of the media bias as you saw fact trick checking started to get removed from the Biden administration after four years of dealing with that nonsense course. This program seemed to magically be ending when we talk about that gives a call want to hear from you, not only on specifically ACLJ going to court against the Biden administration maybe is an ideal source of our should go 100-684-3110 and also support the work of the ACLJ. This is the last day of our magic child.
You get $10 that effectively turns into 20 and so on and so on because there's another amazing member of the ACLJ on the other. It will match that donation also tonight at 8 PM Eastern on our social media outlets Jay Sekulow band returns with the first person live concert. They have done in over a year again ACLJ.org 100-684-3110. The American Center for Law and were engaged in critical issues at home and abroad.
Whether it's defending religious freedom.
Protecting those covering corruption in Washington bureaucracy fighting to protect life reports and in Congress ACLJ would not be able to do any of this without your support for that. We are grateful.
Now there's an opportunity for you to help me way for limited time you can participate in the ACLJ's matching challenge for every dollar you donate $10 gift comes 20 oh gift becomes 100. This is time for the ACLJ the work we simply would not occur without your generous heart wrenching challenge make protecting the constitutional and religious freedoms most important to you today online okay only one. A society can agree that the most vulnerable invoice. Is there any hope for that culture to survive.
And that's exactly what you are saying with the American Center for Law and Justice defend the rights of life, we've created a free powerful publication offering a panoramic view of the ACLJ's battle for the unborn mission will show you how you are personally publication includes all major ACLJ were fighting for the rights of pro-life activist ramifications 40 years later, planned parenthood's role in the Obama care me in many ways, your membership is empowering the right question mission life today online/secular front lines of the life issue for a better part of nearly 4 decades, went over well over 30 years that Jay Sekulow secular family plus the ACLJ specifically for over 30 years of been on the frontline dealing with life issue. That is why we been saying this year is ACLJ more than ever because we know there's an administration that gets put in power we been doing this for a long time to just sit back and wait. Hopefully hopefully there's a new administration that comes in her. Maybe there's a softening of the heart. The changes within the White House.
I was again pray for that absolutely pray for that braided that minds and hearts are changed, but we also have to be available in there to fight back when you need to. That's why the ACLJ today raised them some people to bind ministration watching right now. Guess what happened today. You're getting sued because you're not playing by the rules and they admitted historians, Washington DC, where sometimes they don't play by the rules even though they're the ones that make them so they had welcome back tells about this yellow me quite often they don't play by the rules and this is a particularly I would call it ironic, or rich example of that.
You remember back when Planned Parenthood got caught with it. Essentially a menu of baby body parts, so disgusting to think about Logan. It's almost hard to verbalize but you're right we do have to put the truth out there did this sad reality is the federal government. Taxpayers you and me were funding that research. The good news was that during the Trump administration. We saw a lot of that rollback now what does rolling that back mean Logan. They were specifically pulling grants that had been issued to research entities that were using their doing research. Using these fetal remains and they also set up a what I think is maybe the most important thing that they did in the space they set up this ethics review board were 15 a professionals from various different walks of life would look at all of these funding proposals individual from outside the government. Logan and they would make a recommendation to the Sec. of HHS, whether or not it met all the ethical requirements that this type of research. Should I Logan maybe the most disturbing thing to me. Of course it's disturbing that this funding this is happening again in the bind ministration, but there rolling back that ethics review board.
I mean, why in the world would you not want proposals like this to at least go through a review board but that's were looking at today seems to be a common thread here is there rolling back a lot of things in Washington DC, whether that's in the media. Whether that's the news whether that's things like this, like, why would you like that. What is the point I feel like we have this question that we often pose to the audience and I love to hear your thoughts. Why was they decide that having this ethics board is all of a sudden not important now that there is abiding to ministration. Call 1-800-684-3110 will usually find out if there is no good answer. The good answer is typically they just want to push stuff through is fast as they can and with no barriers and nothing specifically when it comes to life.
That is usually the truth which is it has anything to do with restrictions on life is why you see we had a Presidential candidate for the Democrats with the Democratic Presidential candidate there up there, look at that field that happened this last time. As soon as a couple of them just said maybe late-term abortion.
Maybe that's too far. Guess what happened there pretty much pushed out the party told they were crazy and removed from any influence because this is the number one issue on both sides. In some ways the number one issue that a lot of people vote for this single issue and I think that's okay I know I'm People's and I'm not a single issue voter. I think there sometimes being a single issue voter is okay. It simply is. Give us a phone Congress in 100-684-3110 but will also other stuff going on that we been talking about this is this is exactly what happens when things don't go wrong when you realize that you people have made a big mistake by putting administration that is going to be so aggressively against the life well in part of what were asking for in the FOIA request that was originally sent that were now having to go to court over it is records that determine the moral considerations that the department of Health and Human Services has or has not taken in undertaking the continued funding using the aborted fetal baby body parts and that's when you get to the heart of it when you talk about removing that ethics review board and then we are asking work any ethical or moral considerations taken and we need to look at these records that were entitled to to see if we can determine that and that's what they're not wanting to give us is not even are you doing is what we know they're doing it because Jen Saki admitted to it. We know they rollback the regulations. But what we are asking for that we haven't received any response on is what were your moral considerations here because we know you remove the ethical review board. So I think it's important even not just that were asking for broad records, but there is a point to it.
There targeted in our request to to get to the bottom of it and to see what we can get out and let the American people know about Selah calls, the logical commenting that they having a difficult time commenting on this subject because it is such a gruesome thing to think about and they need us, but I weave it in internal chat.
We can discuss and set each other with soundbites coming slow, behind-the-scenes outwork through the computer screen in front of us then you said you have an answer to the why. When it comes to why would they repeal the review board and the ethics board yeah I really do think I have an answer that question alone is the right question to ask, but the reason they had to abandon that review board is because they know flatly that this research is unethical and the other reason Logan is that there are more ethical options. But what that would entail. Would they would get a recommendation back from this review board and they would have to acknowledge that this type of research using fetal remains is not the most ethical option available so that's I why think they have vanity because they didn't want to have to deal with the recommendations that would come back to Logan. The other thing that we've talked about in this broadcast many many times is when it comes to the federal government personnel is policy and we told people that if Sec. Javier Becerra was the secretary of HHS.
This is the type of issue that we would deface needs to be asked Logan did you consider ethics at all when you made this decision, you absolutely need to go to ACLJ.org also agreed other is a whole article written by Abid's is the it's currently on our website. I believe that goes into more details on this. I will say this stuff in this I don't want to say on the air of their kids listening. Who's there their stuff in this report that is good. Turn your stomach but again I want you to the website check it out not just a simple promoting on the website because generally I would say some of these things out loud.
I would have them come in on my mouth. There's a line that convinces the users it says this isn't some ghoulish science fiction film feels like this is how your tax dollars are being spent and it's repulsive that I think that encapsulates what you're saying what there's there's reasons on air why we don't want to describe even some of the records were looking for because it it does seem horrific absolutely.
And like vocals, they were to take some of those coming up in the next segment. Also my dads majority of Jay Sekulow's competent Odyssey to busy day. I wonder why with the topic or talk about right now. The ACLJ Miller the court were suing the Biden administration. So guess what, there's a busy people.

A jointed studio will a busy today is a day with my dad Jay Sekulow you been talking about a lawsuit.
Solicit lawsuits on reviewing another yes only visit is is it's a busy can you concert tonight. Yes, a look I want time at the concert from and we can so we do these at the end of the month of the matching challenge, but obviously over the last year and 1/2 year and 1/2 because usually we do with the judgment you shall just not every month right so in the last one was what it is her 2019 New Year's Eve when it ran and then the only time the band got together after that was our friend John Schneider came in but there was one the whole bankruptcy. His keepers came from my troponin from these other guys so it's kind of an amalgamation, so that we been doing these things, you know, by remote, whereas in a box little boxes that we had everybody come to the street when we open up oppositely and everybody come to the studio but come in individually. This time everybody's there. Everybody's healthy everybody is good and we we play some couple new tunes a couple ones that you know that was helpful to us to buy the whaling because of the payment plan. It can air tonight at eight Eastern nasal hearings to my understanding, it's gonna be on ACLJ Jay Sekulow oh Facebook. Both of those had the Jay Sekulow band Facebook page.
It should be on the well and all of it off and on YouTube now, and we run anyplace else unpleasant. That's pretty much the top places to go to be a lot of fun. Watch that tonight at 8 o'clock band interview know a lot about the band did it feel to be back in personally all of you together was interesting the first time we practiced it was it was it was really good and was tight judicial calls on this listing calls today's topic of the document again that you were in court with the Biden ministration pursuing not court but we are wearable on the weather has been filed.
You correctly describe the lawsuit by not describing lawsuit because it's disgusting.
You said you will know more details. It's on the website but it's just not really content you want to put over the course the HHS Sec. is the most pro-abortion. I mean this again to try to close on crisis pregnancy center so you know what you're doing with your listing a phone call. Let's go first to Maryellen in Illinois online for Maryellen on the work out one thing to discuss outrageous question on that side of the request take off and come back almost 100% redacted. How do you overcome It's a series of process so the redacted's already come back. So we been through the reduction process. So now you are going for the production of documents and no reduction so that's the step were now at know what's interesting about that. I think what's significant about that is this is one of several that we filed. We had a really good ruling in another case unrelated. Okay it was another case against the midsection department state against the Biden ministration but there, the court ordered unredacted documents produced and set forth what the precedent would be, so we actually Maryellen now have a President from the same court different judge same court in Washington DC and that helps build upon the body of case law that allows us to then get this done, but again he asked a great question. This is gametophyte.
These are always a fight but then you get the item and you get the answers and look we were able to dismantle the IRS's tax exempt divisions corruption over that it took years to do it but you have patience but wait. We are acted by Ms. loadings that we got cases being filed today and will just talk about as well and then also I'm reviewing another one right this minute right next in the room next door that will will filing a brief today is right and what you give a little bit details of what that's about. Since the connected tax. That's right so we had we talked about about a week ago that there was this Ohio lawsuit where the state of Ohio was suing the Biden ministration for regulations within the COBIT relief bill that would bar states from doing any revenue offset, so any cutting of taxes.
Any tax credits and if they did that, directly or indirectly, there was a clawback measure where the state would have to pay back the relief aid that it was granted under the law, so Ohio was the first to file a federal lawsuit. But now Alabama and 13 other states have joined with their own lawsuit in a different District Court. And so now were going to see what happens where filing on behalf of members of Congress, though the 88 members of Congress, including not including the late senator was Tim Scott. But having said that, we think about what ways in which Joe Biden today said Tapscott statement say that I came out that I'm selling it a lot. Maybe there's a is suffering of tides yet well heat, he responded aggressively to in the right way and with him next month.
He is easing his definitely a leader of the party but let me say this to me this idea that you can penalize estate that gets COBIT relief funds because they decide to lower some taxes on some entities or individuals is that is called socialism. That is the government. The federal government telling the state. This is you get this money. Not only are there conditions to it would tell you how to run your state. I think you will probably want to know that I've asked this is why the ACLJ is important for this specific type of topic because it refers to go to I get involved and how states have their tax regulations.
What what is it the American civil law just isn't it wise that within our scope because the 10th amendment to United States Constitution talks but powers reserved to the states. That's always been fundamentally important to remember if Roe versus Wade gets overturned. What happens goes back to the states for them to the size of state authority on these issues are important.
Anytime there's a constitutional challenge and look especially with you got a pandemic going on in the governments can misuse the what was upon the manual that said never let a good crisis go to waste about the trying to do a social engineering tire change because Logan if they can start telling states you can't lower taxes will start telling states you can't prohibit abortion in certain circumstances, you can't do this so what we have to do. We are doing. It's it's a very impressive group I think is 80 and up in the inner anion is a mortgage of how many what is on this is a 78 on this one. 58 members of the house 20 members of the Senate. Now it's Republican leader Kevin McCarthy, just a very, very outgroup.
I mean a chemical archiving center corners on as well I'm not mistaken yeah I mean it's it's like a set center Scott admits list. I got them when I leave the house while in one of the issues the practical issues we are talking about before the show and one of the main reasons it center. Scott wanted to be on the brief is because of things like school choice.
So during a pandemic. The public schools are closed. If the state wanted to offer a way for a student to get back into a classroom by offering some sort of offset or right credit that would be a revenue it non-revenue neutral move by the state that could trigger the clawback and make them have to get back the COBIT relief fund is no could affect schooling choices going outside to join me tonight.
Live finally with them in person with everybody on the stage.
Everyone healthy. Everybody's healthy guys were in some of the more vulnerable category were the bands you know mature yes but Mike is not careful, but were back tonight 8 o'clock and be the final ramp for our matching challenge you really want your support. Big day today to at the ACLJ.
This is the biggest day of the month so your support is critical. That's right again. If you get $10 $20. You thousand dollars it becomes due 10 becomes 20 you can do that right now@aclj.org encourage not only to go there to donate my courage and go there to support and look at the news back with another half-hour you get your local radio station is live Facebook and YouTube will be right back door. The American Center for on critical issues at home and abroad for limited time you can participate in the ACLJ matching challenge for every dollar you donate, it will be $10 gift becomes $20, $50 gift becomes 100 you can make a difference in protecting the constitutional and religious freedoms most important to you and your family.
Give a gift today online ACLJ live Washington DC secular secular. Let's reset for those just tuning in, that is right. The ACLJ's currently right now we just the ACLJ has sued the Biden administration on this FOIA issue related to the topic.
The very serious, very dark, very disturbing topic of the use of aborted baby Eagle parts for research constantly. I love talking about on the air, but sometimes you got to do it. Like I told you the most gruesome stuff. I'm not going to do.
I know a lot of people listen with their kids there homeschooling. They do all these things not to get into the exact details on this, but you can if you really want to know on our website. There's an article by Vince is the and there's plenty of others specifically about this issue and what this is pertaining to when you read it. Just trust me, this is stomach churning stuff stuff you get out your brain so fair warning price should have a graphic warning on that blog because it is a very intense what's going on when you have kids sake site. We think it's all fine. We think it's great.
There are levels of morals and as as they had brought up in ethics board has been removed reason why probably because they realize it's unethical because there are more ethical ways to do these things opportunity to be a scientist. I'm not even pretending to be your lawyer.
But there plenty of those of the ACLJ that are currently in court. We have a ton of calls coveted.
We plan on hitting a lot of topics today. Washington Post, I ended that the Biden fact checking database were talked about that we have time this has taken up and aggressive in our time. There's a lot of phone calls coming in about it. I don't want to just blow past this and move on to another topic that you feel like it's important to talk about something some things, but this is a very important topic and we did have a good question from Darlene on YouTube saying can't we request the unredacted documents on the first request we do do, that's what you're asking for.
We want all the documents unredacted. That's what were asking for. And the reason we have to sue is because we're entitled right to the very few extra exceptions, especially in the human Health and Human Services department. Now it's if it's classified information like when were going to the State Department. Sometimes those there are sources and methods that they don't release that the court will agree with the State Department on with Health and Human Services.
We should be getting a lot almost everything we ask for unredacted and they don't.
They either don't respond.
They either say yeah we got this request, but nothing further or they say we are not going to tell you whether or not we have anything and so we go to court and we say we're entitled to the documents we are entitled to them. Unredacted. Please give this to us now, and that's where we start the real legal fight.
I think we should reset and hear what's coming from the White House press briefing supply just the last couple days on this if you heard the first leg of the show you've heard this already, but this is for those who just tuning in some you guys know came in late. This is from this, the White House press briefing on here reporter followed by a judge in sake the White House press secretary take a lesson that is just lifted the ban researchers using fetal tissue from a list of abortions in the US conference of Catholic Bishops, leaders of the presence of reaction it is deeply offensive to millions of Americans for tax to be used for research that collaborates with an industry built on the taking of innocent lives in that specific area that respectfully disagree.
And we believe that it's important to invest in science and and look for opportunities to cure diseases and I think that's what this is helpful to do. Again, blowing past the gory details of it all just say we think she respectfully disagrees.
But the gory details are not respectful. This goes back to Obama era. We respect your opinion but your ignorant wrong because you were the all-powerful Almighty.
This is where were at right now. Look again coveted excitement calls are there, and it was awesome to have taken because it here on hold right now. We will get to you the next of the following segment if you will be on the air with your best get to you as well. 100-684-3110 get those calls will the next segment admitted to DC will hate is here hundreds of ACLJ employees across the country and all over the world are here because of people like you support the organization that ACLJ.org it's easy place to donate learn so much about what we do here give us the final day of our matching challenge that ACLJ.org will be right back with text calls 164 the American Center for Law and were engaged in critical issues at home and abroad.
Whether it's defending religious freedom. Rejecting those uncovering corruption in the Washington bureaucracy and fighting to protect life and the courts and in Congress ACLJ would not be able to do any of this. For that we are grateful. Now there's an opportunity for you to help me way for limited time you can participate in the ACLJ's matching challenge for every dollar you donate $10 gift comes 20 oh $50 gift becomes 100. This is a critical time for the ACLJ the work we simply would not occur without your generous take part in our matching challenge. Make protecting the constitutional and religious freedoms most important to you today online okay only one.
A society can agree that the most vulnerable invoice. Is there any hope for that culture to survive. And that's exactly what you are saying when you stand with the American Center for Law and Justice, defendant the right to life, we've created a free powerful publication offering a panoramic view of the ACLJ's battle for the unborn, called mission life will show you how you are personally publication includes all major ACLJ were fighting for the rights of pro-life activists ramifications.
40 years later Planned Parenthood's role in the ministry and what Obama care means many ways. Your membership is empowering the right question mission life today online/you get to some of those. Let's kick it off immediately with a phone call is good of the in Massachusetts. I like to hear. Yes, you are holding for filing say something now United States is the same. Russia and China being mass murderers in the millions that's very deplorable.
It's a complete abomination because of the abortions we now is that arena with them itself in to Vons point also, in some cases when it comes to abortion were worse than many leader where Dan knows the details.
Also on this but were only one of seven nations. I believe in the world that allows late-term abortions to the extent that the United States does and it's it's disgusting when you think about it for, and you have the stats on that right yeah well that's correct. One of only seven nations in the world that does not restrict late-term abortion in any way and that the list is not one that you would want to be on well there is actually a discharge petition in the House of Representatives without getting into the weeds. It essentially is 218 members of Congress of either party would go down to the floor and sign their name on that discharge petition. Nancy Pelosi could not block the bill that would stop us from being will we will remove us from that list would ban late-term abortion United States of America maternity members a house will at this point are not willing to go out and sign it in the group of of nations that we are in the company is Canada, China, the Netherlands, North Korea, Singapore, United States in Vietnam so doesn't really feel likely fit on that list is America all right. Let's take another call is go to Ronald in South Carolina.
You're on the air. Ronald takes hold again for taking my call. It truly enjoyed all the information because not getting this anywhere else. My comment is what the Logan aesthetic beginning about those who voted in all surprised by the sponsor getting from those that been voted in office and worse say to that is the fact that unfortunately I think they been lulled in by by Democratic convention and when Obama said your life depends upon you pulling in voting right now. The life of hundreds of thousands of unborn babies are now being snuffed out because of that vote because of this election think you're right because, as do the churches serve the progressive movement in churches.
The local churches to tell you that this is not the issue of our time. This is not important issue. We need to be dealing with. Look at all this other stuff that conservatives don't deal with the course.
That's a bunch of crap that's not something that anyone actually believes because we really look at where Christians specifically are in there and are working in communities and are actually supporting children and supporting families and supporting the homeless. It is the churches job essentially to do that. But there is been a cosmic shift on this issue. We talked about it back in the election when there was the even to pro-life evangelicals for Biden, a group that got together with a bunch of again and observe more liberal church leaders saying aware pro-life, but we don't feel that that outweighs the issue had to say. Like I said before many of many times it's okay for this one to be your single issue. I really believe that. I think that there are certain things that's okay feedback I disagree on most of it may be that one issue. Note that you had to go vote for Donald Trump.
Note that you had to go vote for Joe Biden. There plenty of other options their options. This is not vote at all to be active in that kind of rhetoric was really unfortunate. It's it's sad that were seen within the church were also saying that in regards to Israel were saying that in regards to a lot of things. It's not just pay the Michelle Obama put out this initiative. It also is happening internally we have to be very well aware of that and you are seeing some backlash rising people finally stand up. I think when you really look at this administration you aren't seeing the kind compassionate situation that many people voted for the voted for the end of the kids in cages and guess what they got even worse situation of the border.
They voted for pro life in general.
You know the ideas and guess what you have something like this where the ethics boards are removed. That's where you have to go look at where is the demon in the room here and and when you talk about ethics boards wouldn't even someone who is for this type of research as horrific as that sounds, you think any any time you're dealing with sensitive issues of science or medicine you would want ethics involved isn't ethical science, something that is good right yet. If an administration is just completely blowing over the entire concept of having ethics restrictions with scientific research or even analyzing it from a government point of view when it comes to our money our taxpayer dollars being spent on this that that's shocking that the he administration be like this is not something we think is worth our time anymore and said they just have no use for any kind of oversight in terms of supporting life. Their minds just Artie made up Logan. It already is.
And I don't want to have to go through that the rigmarole of checking the box on the ethics word. I mean, I would.
I would add this layer to it. Of the 15 members of that board if they were to leave it constituted.
Who gets to appoint those numbers I meet Sec. Becerra gets to appoint those numbers so you know, in all reality he could appoint members to that board who would actually give him the advice that he would want the Logan, I gotta tell you, I think it would be difficult is is is sold out to the abortion industry as many on the left are. I think it would be difficult to find 15 medical professionals that would look at this information and then sign their name to a document that says this is the most ethical way to do this research again when I can get to the details. But if people read this blog.
There is no way with a straight face. You can say this is the most ethical option for this type of research right exactly if if the ethics board. This tells you everything you need to know if the ethics board was likely to rule in their favor on this, they would still have because then he would tell all of us. The ones that are filing for lawsuits, ethics board, even if we disagreed with the ethics more thoroughly. Look, we have an ethics board which sounds very official that is telling us that this is okay okay with the fact that they have to get rid of that tells you everything you need to know about that.
It's not ethical they're afraid of the ethics board start removing the protective agencies you start removing things that are keeping things in line is where chaos breaks loose and you have issues where modern science is not necessarily have has no oversight and there are moral things that happen within modern sites. We need to make sure there's at least information out there look were suing right now really were suing for his information and then be able to build our case for the next time around. This was not supposed to be the only topic today. We did have other things he wanted to talk about really of one segment left of the show, so unfortunately I say thank you to our incredible research team ever put together. The show this topic just took over because I do think when it comes to a day like today in our matching challenge when the work of the AZ LJ happens to line up a look at nothing to do with the fact it was the matching challenge just happened to be this way.
Where the day of the end of the matching challenge happens to line up with the day that we sue Biden administration to spend time on you need to spend some time thinking about ways you can support the organization as well.

This is a critical time for the ACLJ work. We simply would not occur without your generous take part in our matching challenge. Make protecting the constitutional and religious freedoms. Today online LJ really did have an update on touch on it was that we try to get multiple topics but one we definitely need to address again about the work of the AZ that's right we mentioned earlier in the show about the amicus brief that were filing on behalf of members of Congress, both in the house and the Senate. This one is the case where Biden administration through the stimulus bill in the covert relief bill they put restrictions on how states could lower taxes for their citizens and we had our mention that we filed in Ohio on behalf of members of Congress.
Well, I can now report that it is being filed as we speak on air in Alabama and I think it's important to remind people about this and also stand to talk about the work of who were representing on this brief because it's really important and shows the impact of the AC LJ not just when we sue the Biden ministration but also our work with Congress yeah well was important. It states across the country fight back on this and we are seeing that now needs multiple lawsuits, but we've engaged federal lawmakers to say the lookee. Even the people that passed this law many of them voted against. In fact, all of them on this list would've voted against it. But even we as federal lawmakers know that this provision is not constitutional. We mentioned before, well that there were 78 total members, 58 in the house and 20 in the Senate. But I wanted to specifically recognize a four of the need for the four individuals to announce to in the Senate that really led the way on this are the first is the chairman of the Republican study committee in the house.
Jim Banks, then the ranking member of the Ways and Means committee. That's the committee of jurisdiction on this. Kevin Brady and over in the Senate will to leads as well that the ranking member of the Senate Finance Committee that the committee of jurisdiction. Again, Mike Crapo and then Jay mentioned this earlier in the broadcast Petn Scott and we were so happy to have Tim Scott on this because again will you you alluded to this thing about this in 2024, three years from now. If any state out there decides they want to expand school choice. This provision would be triggered and they would lose stimulus funds from 2021 so very grateful to those for leads right that is important to bring up. It's not just within this year that okay if three months after the state gets the relief funds they decide to start maneuvering or changing some of their their tax code, but it's it like a school choice or property taxes, sales tax, any sort of revenue source for the state in 2024. If they were to adjust that it could cause the treasury United States treasury to say hey you owe us all that relief money that we gave you during the pandemic.
Some just think about that and and it just shows the egregious nests and the unconstitutionality of this entire bill. That's why we exist is why the AC LJ is there fighting is why we have people all over the country with people like that in Washington DC they sure that were involved in helping the Senators in helping everyone get involved because sometimes they need a little extra help to we can be there because the work of the AC LJ and the situation with lots of school choice initiative last year letting go away. That's of the work continued work on whether that school choice specific or specific about getting kids back in school until that's a big topic coming up headed into summer break for a lot of kids, people still unsure what can happen next year. A lot of the country.
That's why give me the school choice initiative. Another great program. The AC LJ find that on our website.
Let's go ahead and take some phone calls with Bill in Wyoming online one built welcome. Sorry for the whole giving people a venue for being able something to say about what's going on and giving it to those who really need it. Now I want to make my comments on thought that an audio clip. It seems to me just totally got it. We don't small stuff and that really upset is small stuff and this is unfortunately I specifically did not get too graphic.
The research use aborted baby fetal parts.
The board baby parts in and I think it's a little even harder for us and people who have dealt with kids with special needs are kids who have been in the NICU. My kids were the NICU for weeks. We are premature children. When you deal with those situations.
These become a little bit more real and a night I'd bring the food down in the room here but this is why this topic wasn't supposed to be the whole show and ended up paying the whole show.
Yeah, greasy, loving look and I don't think it's bringing the new down because like you, I've had the opportunity to be involved in countless newborn lines and many of them do have physical challenges, you know, my wife and I had a child.
The dealt with some physical challenges. We continue to have the opportunity to care for newborns that have physical challenges here. Here's what I would tell you though Bogan in the United States of America. There is no child, no matter their disability, no matter their limitations, who is not desired, and who would not have the ability to find a home so I agree with the caller Jen Saki might say that these are small things, but look there is no higher responsibility than defending the vulnerable in the United States of America. Logan there is a home that would welcome each of those child if they were given an opportunity right that's another issue. I love to deal with later on, which is to help simplify that as well.
Let's go to Richard California Rick try getting these calls Richard, I think you're on the airline three. Take my call for God blessing and the band tonight at 8 o'clock. That's right, I'll be be watching us anyway. I have a statement and a question. First of all, I don't know what more the American people need to open your eyes to this government that we have right now. Most of these people are making this decision on on the aborted babies are Catholic.
I think I think the Catholic Church need to stand up and be a little stronger in their statement. People will church is also the problem for even my friends that are atheists. This is not a moral conundrum for that. I don't understand how technology you don't see how things have progressed that this is still even something that we do in and in this country when you see visually a baby from the very beginning until birth and all of how that were we've ignored that technological leap for our own, you know, so people can feel safe in its absurd we are to make sure always on the front lines of this we are the AC LJ collector calls go to Brendan in Utah lied to you on their call.
My question was actually relation to the suppression of free speech and the support of the administration by median acquiring.
I'm wondering if the LJ had anything and plan to just deal with them playing favorites with this that you 30 protection. There's always issues with that's reason why it's a good day sale date on our dreams of the details because you never know what's gonna throw off an algorithm that will and something else that we are watching closely is that Florida is actually set to to sign into law bit and Gov. DeSantis Willits passing through the legislature right now, but this is something that would address the deep platforming of of political candidates and so it's a step towards that delete the first state to do it. It's something we will be watching Wright's most certain to land in court and so will have to see it lands what the claim isn't everything, but essentially it would allow the platforms to suspend people for up to 14 days, but they can't just ban or deep platforming a or permanently delete a candidate so it is specifically dealing with the political angle of it, but it'll be curious to see what comes out of this and where it goes next. It's an interesting thing again were not sure exactly where it's going to land, but you know the AC LJ were on top of everything we are taking on me that was introduced back and I was a liver to get to. Again, this topic took over the hour and I think it Darnell should've so AC LJ.org you can support the work we do here.
