Why does the Biden-Harris Administration have $157 million ready to send to Lebanon but still needs congressional approval to send aid to North Carolina citizens suffering from the aftermath of Hurricane Helene? This question from Fox News’ Peter Doocy to White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre set off a heated exchange. Jean-Pierre later accused Doocy of spreading misinformation about President Biden’s handling of FEMA disaster relief and abruptly stormed out. The Sekulow team discusses the fireworks at yesterday’s White House press briefing, Hurricane Milton that will soon hit Florida, Vice President Kamala Harris’ interview on CBS News’ 60 Minutes, the ACLJ’s legal work to defend life, Special Counsel Jack Smith’s superseding indictment of President Donald Trump, the latest presidential election polls between VP Harris and President Trump – and much more.

Karine Jean-Pierre walks out of press conference after Fox News pressed her on government's disaster response. 3-1-1-0. Will Haynes joins me in studio, executive producer of Secula. We're gonna be a packed show. We got C.C.

Heil joining us and Harry Hutchinson a bit later. We also have some messaging about Hurricane Milton, which is obviously building in Florida right now. We know it will hit in the next few days, and we have some messaging that was sent to us from our friend CFO Jimmy Petronas. So if you're one of our listeners in Florida, stay tuned. We'll make sure we get to some of those as we are actively monitoring that as well, as well as obviously praying for everyone in Florida. Florida, Will and I's hometown.

Central Florida is where we grew up, so of course it's a pretty, after just last week hitting our home state of Tennessee, now to have one hitting our hometown, our original hometown of Orlando, Florida. That is something that we are actively monitoring, but of course we want to keep you updated on the news as well. There has been some news that are related to the hurricane. That of course is the controversy that has come out between the Biden administration, the Harris campaign, which put out that statement last week saying, hey we're going to be giving 150 million more dollars to Lebanon, but then on the other side you have FEMA saying essentially we are out of money for hurricane relief and having to get more money approved. There was a pushback and a conversation that happened during the press conference yesterday with obviously with Ducey from Fox News and with KJP.

We're going to have, we're going to play that in the next segment, so stay tuned for that. We are going to want to hear from you though, whether you in Florida preparing for this hurricane, whether you are curious about that work and the fact that money is being not diverted to the American citizens but is being diverted to Lebanon and other places around the world when we know what's happening in North Carolina still. We know what's happening in eastern Tennessee.

We know what's happening in all these small towns. That's why we had on Tulsi Gabbard yesterday who was on the ground there with her organization doing a lot of good work. There's a lot of great people Samaritan's Purse and others that are there doing the work the government probably should be doing, but of course in this moment they're nowhere to be found or a lot less than you would hope. It's really one of those moments where you should wake up because the federal government, we were not necessarily big fans of the federal government them getting involved in a lot of things, but there are certain moments where what you feel like your taxpayer dollar should go to is something like this. You want to make sure your roads are safe. You want to make sure we can fly safely with the FAA and of course a disaster happens like this. You want to make sure your government you want your government to be there to help if you can.

Of course, Will, these situations that is not what's happening. That's right and when you look at what the priorities of this administration have been over the last three and a half years it's shocking when and we'll play the clips in the next segment when someone asks the administration hey you're able to easily just write a check to Lebanon without going through Congress but yet when there is a real disaster here at home you're saying hey we're going to run out of money and we're going to need Congress to come back from recess and reappropriate money so that we can help American citizens. That is the stark contrast and why I think that the left doesn't understand the power of the MAGA movement and the Make America Great Again movement and the America First movement because what it means is that hey you can dole out cash all around the world seeming endlessly and even in the case of Ukraine where over a billion dollars is untrackable.

They don't know where it went. It didn't go for the purposes that it meant but so we just wasted a billion dollars in that case but yet it's like pulling teeth to get people that need real help that are American citizens that pay their taxes the help they need in such a unprecedented disaster. There's also conversations that happened with Ron DeSantis in Florida talking about his conversations with the administration or lack of conversations with the administration because look we are not trying to politicize storm. I think Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida not trying to politicize the storm. CFO Jimmy Petronas who's also the fire marshal not trying to politicize the storm but unfortunately it feels like everything is politicized.

Everything has its motivation and none of it feels like it's to help the American people. We're going to do our best to stand up where we can. Support the work of the ACLJ at ACLJ.org and give us a call. Phone lines are open. We got four lines open. 1-800-684-3110. Welcome back to Secula.

This is Logan Secula. We got a couple phone lines still open at 1-800-684-3110. I did want to kick us off now that we've headed into the second segment. We've got a little bit longer time. We could actually talk about this when you may see the title right now on YouTube or rumble. If you don't watch our broadcast you should. It's a better experience to see us and talk with us and chat if you're in the live chat on YouTube or rumble.

It's always a fun time. Carine Jean-Pierre you may have seen the title said walked out after Fox News asked this. You may be wondering what is that if you're listening on radio. If you saw a video you may have gotten to see a little bit of a tease but this was a bit of a conversation between Peter Doocy and Carine Jean-Pierre. This is the press conference yesterday. Now this is pretty long I'd say. We got a couple bites here. This was an ongoing debate but I think you should see it since we got a little bit more time. So let's see how it started and then we'll go from there. Let's start with bite two. This issue of funding the administration has money to send to Lebanon without congress coming back but congress does have to come back to approve money to send to people in North Carolina.

Do I have that right? Here's what I'm going to be very clear about. The President, the vice President has had a a robust whole of government response to this. Hundreds of millions of dollars. I said it at the top more than 200 million dollars that we have directly put towards survivors here for disaster help and that's because of this President's commitment to make sure that we are there for communities that are impacted. We take this very seriously again. We take this very seriously and before before the hurricane hit we pre-positions more more than 1,500 federal federal folks on the ground to help and so we have made sure that every state has gotten their storm requested emergency declaration. They requested it and we made sure they received it.

We've taken this very seriously. More than 200 million dollars that we have provided to the impacted areas and but instead people want to do disinformation misinformation which is dangerous which is dangerous because then what that when when folks on the ground hear that they may not want to ask for the help that they need. That is there for them. That is there for them. That's our focus here. Of course what they're hearing is misinformation disinformation some fun buzzwords to throw you off because they go they may not ask for what they need. Well at this point I feel like the government should be there.

I don't know if they should be doing the asking. That's right and when you listen to that and how she tries to lay out all the things they're doing at the same time President Biden was sent a letter to Congress saying you need to come back and provide more funds. When you listen to that she goes through what they're doing trying to make it seem like we're working very hard and then ends it with but it flips it on it says people want to do disinformation and misinformation which is dangerous and the problem with that is that when you're when you are speaking for the President at a time like this when you see the imagery out of North Carolina and East Tennessee and Georgia and Florida and then you know another catastrophic storm one of the strongest recorded storms on in history is coming straight for Florida and you hear her saying a simple question about reality is misinformation or disinformation that infuriates Americans.

Yeah it really does it keeps going so conversation didn't stop there so let's keep going bite three now you get to hear a little bit more of this discussion. People want to do disinformation misinformation which is dangerous which is dangerous because then what that when when folks on the ground hear that they may not want to ask for the help that they need that is there for them that is there for them that's our focus here. But President Biden is fond of saying show me your budget and I will tell you what you value if he's got money for people in Lebanon right now without Congress having to come back what does it say about his values there's not enough money right now for people in North Carolina his that's not misinformation wait no that is we your whole your whole premise of the question is misinformation sir what you don't yes yes it's misinformation I just mentioned I just mentioned I just mentioned to you that we provided more than 200 million dollars to folks who are impacted in the area and I just shared with you that people are deciding not to people are deciding not to not to wait there's not enough money to help people we're talking about the SBA disaster loan that's money for people in North Carolina and that's important and people in North Carolina need that wait this is nothing new Peter this is nothing new Congress comes together they provide money millions of dollars for disaster relief we're asking them to do the job that they have been doing for some time the letter that President Biden sent to Johnson, McConnell, Schumer and Jeffries the President's letter is not misinformation would you agree no the way you're asking me the question is misinformation there is money that we are allocating to the impacted areas and there's money there to help people who truly need it there are survivors who need the funding who need the funding it feels like this could have been cut off way earlier could have she could have made her statement without getting into that misinformation disinformation verbiage when you start doing that those are uh you know almost dog whistles at this point where people on the left go oh that's all this is a Republican talking point and then of course people on the right go well if you're using words like misinformation disinformation you're pretty much invalidated your entire uh discussion beforehand because we know what that really means and what that really means is usually censorship uh you know and not being honest with the American people you know it gives us flashbacks to the last election right and honestly when when she goes through that if she were to explain everything she did in the first one and then even there I'm sure there is a technical government answer about yes yes those funds for emergency to Lebanon were already allocated by Congress and we just it was discretionary spending at that point but FEMA is because of the size of this disaster tapped out and we need more funds allocated because Congress has the power of the purse she could have done all that without then trying to label a news network that's in there with credentials and passes to ask questions as essentially fake news and saying that they are spreading misinformation and disinformation and calling them dangerous that's something they used to criticize President Trump about was saying that he was making the the job of journalists very hard by and it was dangerous for them because of that that's exactly what Karine Jean-Pierre is doing here she is taking it to a level where it's it's making everyone think that oh this person is spreading lies and and misinformation they normally tack on to Russia that you're just spreading talking points to meddle in the election coming out of Russia that's all this feels like and in him being asking a very legitimate question that's on the mind of I guarantee you millions of people in uh Georgia North Carolina and Tennessee but millions and millions tens of millions of people across the country about why this is so hard to take care of the American people before doling out cash to a country that is not filled with many allies of the United States friendly that when there needs to be humanitarian aid how about you start at home how about you get that figured out because we know that storms are are creating havoc and if it is a part of your climate change agenda why wasn't your uh your green new deal light that they passed with the inflation reduction act why wasn't that beefing up the ability to take care of Americans at home because it's not their priority their priority is uh non-citizens that live in other countries the priority is political gain and what what gets you the most votes is making yourself look like you really care about people but not actually doing it when it's your own I mean that's just the truth of it's sad it's sad because it sounds nice in a tweet to say you're sending out uh 150 million dollars to Lebanon even when you say that 150 additional million dollars and you're like well we gave 200 million North Carolina I don't know maybe there should be a little bit more discrepancy in those numbers maybe there should be more going to our own people into North Carolina into the south where it's needed right now instead of going across the world like you said to non-friendly areas now the conversation kept going this is kind of how it wrapped up let's hear bite four it's sort of the final conversation the final discussion between KJP and Peter Doocy and it's there you don't like misinformation I said that I actually said we have the money available to help survivors of Hurricane Helene and also Hurricane Milton now we're now there's going to be a shortfall right because we don't know how bad it's Hurricane Milton is going to be and so we're going to need additional funding we're going to need additional funding that's exactly what I just asked about and you said it was no information what you're asking me is why congress needs to come back and do their job that's what you're asking me congress needs to come back and do their job and provide extra assistance extra funding to disaster relief fund that's what congress needs to do and we're going to continue to urge that you may not want that but that's okay that's what this President wants and that's what the vice President wants thanks everybody and she just walks out angrily I mean it is kind of a ridiculous moment with a real legitimate question happened look this is what you want by the way I want someone look even if it was a republican President I want someone in that press room to push to get the real answers so I'm happy Peter Doocy exists I want someone in there to hold accountable our administrations even if we disagree with them fundamentally at least give them the answers that they're looking for but instead you're going to label it disinformation misinformation as we are on the precipice of what could be one of the biggest storms in our lifetime and I'm nervous about it praying for everybody in Florida I got friends in Florida I got property in Florida if I'm being honest I'm someone who's been a Floridian part-time Floridian for the majority of my life and with that we're going to actually in the next segment talk a little bit about we reached out to our friend Jimmy Patronus who is the CFO and fire marshal for the state of Florida and he is going to and we have some talking points that they've given us to share with our listenership we're going to do that as well coming up in the next segment also a really interesting reveal from an unlikely source about the truth behind third trimester abortions it's become a real big topic whether they exist or don't exist and guess what we were right we'll be right back with it welcome back to secular cc hyles joining us in studio I did quickly before we get to our next topic want to tell you if you are in Florida and you are concerned about the hurricane which I believe you should be if you are in that path we encourage you to go to preparefl.com has all your storm related resources and information from the state emergency prepared toolkit designed to help you prepare for the home inventory organize your financial information from before and after the storm and it also will guide to inform consumers on insurance and financial preparation in the event of this potential disaster the guide also to flood insurance and tips on what to expect filing home insurance claims related to this hurricane again I'm going to encourage you to go to preparefl.com that is was sent to us from Jimmy Patronus's office who is the CFO of the state of Florida we reached out to him this morning said how can we make sure our audience is prepared and ready for this and they sent us that information again they urge Floridians to take necessary precautions to prepare their homes and property ahead of hurricane Milton and of course if you had the opportunity to evacuate you still do and you feel like you should that is something that they're encouraging as well so again that's at preparefl.com and I have one note on that as well from the the office of the CFO of Florida Jimmy Patronus 51 of the 67 Florida counties are currently under a declared state of emergency so it is a whole of Florida approach that they are having to take there and that also if you are in Florida you are likely in a declared state of emergency right now so make sure you go to preparefl.com and get the information you need to stay safe.

All right so we appreciate that if you want to call in if you have a question or comment keep your phones charged though 1-800-684-3110 and we have some calls from Florida we'll get to those coming up in the next segment as we'll take some more calls but C.C. Hiles joining us right now because there's an interesting move in the conversation about life and this has been something that has come up from time to time and it really kind of hit in the recent debates the discussion is happening of course the discussion is about late term abortions and what that really looks like and Will from an interesting source the Atlantic the headlight is yes third trimester abortions are happening in America. That's right in the subheading of that is Democrats tend to brush off questions about whether these abortions should be restricted we did see that in the debates we also saw that there was the fact checks from the moderators in the in the Harris Trump debate that tried to also give cover for Kamala Harris when she was talking about how she wants to return to Roe v Wade but C.C. this Atlantic piece which still tries to give some cover because of their perspective on the debate of abortion for the reasoning of these but it reveals and in shocking detail that these are much more common than even I as someone who works for an organization that advocates for life and reads a lot of this and feel very informed about this discussion kind of shocked me to the degree that this is happening. Yeah and you know we can go back to the Presidential debate or the vice Presidential debate where you know when President Trump had said these abortions are happening in the seventh and eighth and ninth month and Kamala Harris said you know that's just absolutely not true and then of course you have you know walls saying basically the same or skirting that statement even though he signed a law like this as governor allowing these late-term abortions to happen and so here you have you know the the facts actually coming out that yes they do happen and in this article they said you know just in one state so there's nine states and D.C. that allow these late-term abortions and in just one state where they could actually get numbers in Colorado there was 137 of these late-term abortions and what you have to understand is when we're talking about the third trimester we're talking about 28 weeks now a baby can live at 22 weeks so really even though they'll try to say well this is to save the life of mother but you never have to murder the child to save the life of the mother these late-term abortions the babies can be delivered and live and so it's it's a subject they don't want to talk about because 80 of Americans almost 80 of Americans have said they don't support third trimester abortions and yet the democrats are still trying to spin it and say no they don't happen but they do and maybe to the tune of we don't know the exact number but at least a thousand if we go from what Colorado has of 137 in just one state yeah we know if those numbers are equal across the board and as you said Colorado not exactly the most populated state if it's 100 plus in each one of these states which we can roughly guess that's it yeah you're talking about a thousand of these third trimester partial birth abortions essentially that were be occurring and as someone who had premature children and went through the NICU process and all of that I've seen how strong a lot of these children are it is yeah it is not for the faint of heart it is the the toughest thing I've ever been through and I assume will probably ever go through however it is a incredible feat of technology that's moved forward that allows these children who are born very early to have a chance at a full life so when you do have these moments when you have someone like the Atlantic coming out saying no we need to fact check this ourselves and you need to be at least honest with yourself I think that's what the democratic argument has lacked which is just honest with themselves they became a little bit more when all of a sudden it became they started using the word abortion because for a long time it was like the the word you never said it was choice it was other words but we never actually used and then you started embracing the word abortion they started embracing the sort of murder side of this if we're just being honest right now when the facts start coming out and the reality starts to set in they start to distance themselves from it but they just simply can't and and when you read this article as well and kind of that point the democrats have doubled down thinking this is their issue that's going to get uh moderates in you know suburban areas to vote for them in November and I think for to some degree they've been effective at it but what they're not telling you is how extreme their platform really is and when you read this article from the Atlantic they interviewed a doctor who specializes in late abortions and he estimated about half of his patients have healthy pregnancies so even that argument that they're so rare it only happens when there is a fetal abnormality or a or the life and death of health of the mother then this argument starts to crumble when even half of those are healthy pregnancies so there's there is no real reason medically that they could argue that these are happening but they also take the democrats to task saying that most Americans as CC pointed out believe that third trimester abortion should be restricted if democrats want a platform that truly reflects majority opinion they should address the question of what to do about later abortions adopt a position that protects abortion in the first trimester while limiting the second and third trimester abortions to pregnancies with fetal abnormalities and maternal health crises CC I think they used a word in that paragraph that they it strikes me ironically that the democrats should adopt a position that protects first trimester abortions but what they're leaving out here is that the work the ACLJ does to protect PRCs and sidewalk counselors we want to focus on that word adopt because there are options for people out there absolutely and adoption is an option and that is when they talk about maternal health crisis again when the baby's in the third trimester that child can live so just to go ahead and have that child you know be born and then yes we can get into adoption there are options so you don't have to murder the child yeah we're working on a lot of different ways we can present those options to the American people right now at the ACLJ so I encourage you to do that look I know this is a tough topic to discuss no one really on their lunch break or sitting around going I really want to talk about late-term abortions but it's true and it's happening we need to at least address it so right now I'm going to encourage you to go to aclj.org we also got involved in the in supporting Israel we're going to discuss that when we get back from this coming up if you don't get us for the full half our full next half hour join us right now live aclj.org youtube or on rumble I saw some people putting in again preparefl.com if you're looking for hurricane preparedness in Florida we'll be right back with the second half hour of second keeping you informed and engaged now more than ever this is secular and now your host Logan secular Logan secular we are live I still have CC Heil joining us in studio as well as Will Haynes executive producer I did want to quickly say again and I'm going to ask our social team to put this in the chat our friends at the CFO office of Florida have asked us to put out preparefl.com that's the website if you're in Florida and you're looking for hurricane preparation preparefl.com again we want to encourage you if you are in that path which as Will said it's the mass majority of the state of Florida one of my favorite places in the world place I'm proud to be a property owner of and I have been a part-time citizen for the last 25 years so I am a big fan of the state of Florida and I'm praying for everybody there and I also know they got an incredible team on the ground they've got like I said our friend CFO and fire marshal Jimmy Petronas as well as obviously a great governor in Ron DeSantis so we'll be monitoring that but CC I also wanted to discuss yesterday was the October 7th terrorist attack anniversary a horrible one one that was really tough to even think about obviously as thousands of people have been killed but just yesterday even a hundred rockets were launched into Israel so you know time didn't stop for the morning it still is happening and we just made a critical oral intervention at the UN maybe explain what that is and what it was that we did yesterday. Yeah so yesterday we actually sent a letter to 42 member states who abstained from voting well actually two of them voted for but this was the general assembly resolution that condemned Israel and basically put all the onus on Israel for what is going on for the Hamas attack and saying Israel needs to stop this although they are simply defending themselves so we sent a letter to those countries that abstained from voting and basically provided the information of why they need to support Israel of you know why they should not abstain that they need to engage and they need to vote and they needed to vote against this resolution and then we went after France and Ireland because those were two countries that actually voted for this resolution condemning Israel and basically saying you should be ashamed this is the one country that is the bastion of democracy in the Middle East they are our ally they are defending themselves they have the legal right to do so and we need to stand by them.

I want to encourage you to support the work of the ACLJ because when you hear what CC was doing when you hear about these 42 letters we had to send out to defend Israel to be there the ACLJ is there it's the European center the ACLJ is there and our teams are mobilized to make sure that we're able to beat your voice wherever we can and of course that also includes our office in Jerusalem at ACLJ Jerusalem you hear Jeff Balaban on this broadcast all the time who runs our office in Jerusalem none of that can happen without your support we are supported the mass majority we were just doing some of the accounting yesterday looking at it we are majorly supported the mass majority people give a gift of fifty dollars this is not an organization that is funded on the backs of gigantic supporters who you know strike checks for millions of dollars there are some great people who do that we obviously love that we appreciate that but the mass majority of the people that donate donate small amounts and it's just hundreds of thousands of you that do that and that is amazing and we couldn't do this incredible work or this broadcast without you so I'm going to encourage you right now become an ACLJ supporter or an ACLJ champion and stand for Israel you can be a champion for Israel stand with us a champion is someone that gives on a monthly recurring basis you just said it forget it of course you can cancel any time your donations are tax deductible and support us by becoming an ACLJ champion if you can over 20,000 of you are ACLJ champions which is incredible but of course that's just a small percentage of the people that give one-time gifts but the ACLJ is there where you need it CC the ACLJ can be there whether that is at the UN or anywhere around the world that's right I was able to do two oral interventions last week defending Israel and then we are able to send letters encouraging states member states to support Israel and we will continue to do so but we cannot do that without your support that's right go to ACLJ.org phone lines are open we got one line open right now 1-800-684-3110 a bunch of you have been a hold for about a half an hour Michael Michael and Lynn stay on hold we're going to get to you it's just been a packed show Harry Hutchinson's going to Harry Hutchinson's going to join us in the next segment to discuss a bit of movement and a bit of of coverage of of course our favorite Jack Smith and what he is up to and what the political ramifications may be so stay tuned for that again support the work of the ACLJ by going to ACLJ.org stand with Israel and stand with our friends here in America as well we'll be right back welcome back to secular Harry Hutchinson's joining us in studio again I want to encourage you if you are in the state of Florida looking for hurricane preparation go to preparefl.com I know you don't hear me usually promote anything other than our own website but that's from our friend CFO Jimmy Petronas who's been on this broadcast before and obviously there is a lot going on there as well from Governor DeSantis we'll hear from him a little bit later but Harry I wanted to move to this very interesting article that came from the New York Magazine about Jack Smith and of course Jack Smith dropped that what 165 page manifesto if you will which we all said felt just like playing politics it felt like election interference 101 but here we are and Harry we we look at this this is written by Ellie Honig who is the chief legal analyst over at CNN you know we know where his bias may lie but there's one thing you can say about Ellie Honig is that he is the most intellectually honest legal analyst definitely in the left world but he calls this Jack Smith's October surprise and in one iteration of the article they called it Jack Smith's October cheap shot what's he laying out here about this massive brief that Jack Smith filed and and got unsealed to a degree at the end of last week essentially and Eli Honig is a liberal but he's a principled liberal he's pointing out that Jack Smith essentially is an unprincipled prosecutor pursuing an unprincipled motion keep in mind that Jack Smith in his filing is filing with respect to uh Donald Trump's immunity claim and essentially Jack Smith has filed with Judge Chuck Chuckan the judge in the so-called election interference case a motion that is designed to be preemptive number one number two it's designed to taint the jury pool in the future but number three and most importantly it's designed to taint the election in favor of a particular outcome and so I think at the end of the day uh Eli Honig lays out what is wrong and unprincipled with this particular filing um and he quotes at the end of his article Sally Yates a former uh deputy um attorney general who was actually fired by Donald Trump she said if the prosecutors bend their principles depending on the identity of the prey then they have no principles at all so what we have is an unprincipled prosecution by an unprincipled prosecutor who ultimately I think we can safely conclude is an unprincipled human being there's a lot of interesting content that comes out of this and there's one at the end of one of the paragraphs kind of goes through two different scenarios one explains some of the revelations that are contained in Smith's brief which he calls an oversized brief but then the last one says the larger if less obvious headline is that Smith has essentially abandoned any pretense he'll bend any rule switch up any practice so as long as he gets to chip away at Trump's electoral prospects at this point there's simply no defending Smith's conduct on any sort of institutional basis that's right and this is what's so surprising in some of the tv interviews that Eli Honig did for CNN after he wrote this piece for New York magazine he compared it to what James Comey did to Hillary Clinton where she reopened the case right before the election and many people think that was very detrimental to her election prospects now I don't think that was the only thing that ended her run for presidency but it was definitely an October surprise no one accounted for that definitely hurt her electoral prospects and even Hillary Clinton went on msnbc and tried to say no no no they're completely different they're completely different because Trump I believe is a criminal needs to go to jail but Eli Honig then even pushed back more and said no when you're looking at this he in from his article at no point at this point there is simply no defending Smith's conduct on any sort of principled or institutional basis but we need to know this stuff before we vote is a nice bumper sticker but it's neither a response nor an excuse for Smith's unprincipled norm-breaking practice it also overlooks the fact that the justice department bears responsibility for taking over two and a half years to indict in the first place Harry this is very critical of the department of justice and Jack Smith and basically accusing them of election interference absolutely and so if we take up the question of why did the justice department wait two and a half years before bringing the prosecution they waited two and a half years before bringing the prosecution of Donald Trump to the floor likely because they wanted to drop this prosecution right in the midst of an election season they did not want uh Trump to be vindicated particularly on appeal so how do you do that you schedule the indictment so that it happens or drops just before the election is going to take place six or nine months before the election takes place then that will take some time for instance a verdict to be appealed by Donald Trump. Honick also notes that Smith's motion on Trump's immunity claim is exactly backwards because under the federal rules of prosecution the prosecutor files an indictment then the defense makes motions to defend to dismiss the charges then the prosecutor responds to defense motions here we've got a preemptive effort and even Judge Chuckan acknowledged that this was indeed an irregular filing essentially I think we it's safe to conclude that Jack Smith has engaged in a huge amount of irregular behavior throughout his career and famously remember he prosecuted judge I'm sorry governor uh um the governor of Virginia he won a verdict at the trial level but guess what the Supreme Court reversed Jack Smith unanimously and so we have a pattern and practice by Jack Smith in terms of overcharging or alternatively not complying with the rules of civil procedure or or alternatively complying with the law and I think at the end of the day hopefully the American people will see through this effort by Jack Smith. I want you to hear from the source himself this is from Honick on CNN yesterday first you're going to hear from Hillary Clinton and get the response again this is from yesterday on CNN it's bite six here we go. It was frankly motivated by the orders of the judge in this trial who has it appears to me been extremely favorable toward Trump so I think that there's nothing out of the ordinary.

What do you think about that Ellie? Yeah Jessica well all respect to secretary Clinton she's the one who suffered the consequences for James Comey's I believe outrageous conduct in 2016 DOJ found later that it was outrageous the problem though with secretary Clinton's analysis of the Jack Smith case is she respectfully she's got her facts wrong first of all she's confusing the judges here I think she's thinking of judge Cannon who yes has ruled almost entirely for Donald Trump but that's the judge in the other case the judge here is judge Chuck and I get it similar names judge Chuck and has ruled almost entirely against Donald Trump more to the point the last thing we just heard secretary Clinton say was quote there is nothing out of the ordinary but as I described before the way they flip this procedure is the opposite of the ordinary. Yeah the opposite of the ordinary I encourage you to take a look at that because again sometimes you you're shocked whether you get the Atlantic yeah New York you got all these content creators right now and writers putting out content that you may actually agree with it doesn't feel slanted or biased it feels like we're actually getting some honesty out of it again even if you disagree with their points of view and their political points of view you can at least say they are being honest to the American people. I encourage you right now speaking of the American people I like to hear from you so we got two lines open right now give me a call at 1-800-684-3110 that's 1-800-684-3110 to have your voice heard today again as you heard we are standing up for Israel this week it is obviously the one year anniversary of the October 7th attacks and of course rockets still being launched into Israel even yesterday no days of mourning in Israel no calm it's just pure chaos but unfortunately the American people seems to have forgotten or seem to have turned their back I was encouraged by some people last night that I saw posting a lot of great content that they have made talking to people in the streets about this and trying to change some hearts and change some minds that's part of what the ACLJ does here as well through this broadcast and our other media outlets of course we're going to be there in the law we're going to be there in the court we're going to be help changing the law but sometimes we got to also be there to change hearts change minds we're doing that currently for Israel we're doing that for our new pro-life campaign that we're rolling out around the country helping support crisis pregnancy centers we start in Massachusetts we've been working on that really hard we got a lot of great content coming out it's all about spreading the hope and joy that still can exist even in America that sometimes looks a little not familiar to a lot of us and then we encourage you also if you're in the state of Florida uh go to preparefl.com and uh make sure you are ready for this pending hurricane that will be hitting uh very soon so stay uh up to date on that go to aclj.org also to support and give me a call we actually have four lines open 1-800-684-3110 I want to hear from you welcome back to set kilo this segment takes many calls we can at 1-800-684-3110 1-800-684-3110 let's go ahead let's go to Lynn who's calling listening on the radio in Washington on line five later on the air thank you I just wanted to make a statement that I know a lot of people are really thinking about and that is this I hope there's some congressional leaders that are listening to this um we put financial aid all across this world trillions and trillions and trillions of dollars and I fail to understand how 750 is enough I would support Congress immediately freezing all foreign aid until all those communities down in hell on the hurricane victims all of their homes all of their cars all their communities their infrastructure roads everything is completely replaced free all the way down to all their belongings to a salt shaker I think if we can do this yeah go ahead yeah I think Lynn I think that a lot of people feel that way here's how I feel like do I think that it's a lot of the foreign aid is getting out of hand and that we're spending way too much money absolutely do I also think we should be able to do both in some ways yes I do feel like there should be situations where we're able to help on a international level where the American people do support certain assistance in that way we are humanitarians at our core however when they don't support our own people yeah that becomes a little bit of a of an issue there's a lot of issue with a lot of people but I do believe in American an American experience where both of those can happen where we can support our people while also helping where we can around the world that's right and I think that this is where the democrats especially don't understand the America First agenda and the MAGA movement is that it goes back to like what Lynn was saying is that why can we keep spending around the world billions and billions to Ukraine billions and billions around the world but with no when something like this happens it seems like pulling teeth to help American citizens and that's all people want they want when something that is it's not a handout for no reason there is a natural disaster of biblical proportions as they've been saying apocalyptic scene that no one would have ever been prepared for there was at no fault of the individual that lived in western North Carolina that this catastrophic storm came through and took everything they own but yet when Karine Jean-Pierre even talks about we're giving assistance there's SBA loans they're giving small business administration loans to small businesses I don't think anyone in Lebanon is going to have to pay back foreign aid you're giving loans and I'm sure there's a forgiveness and all this but this these are things you're having to apply for there are people on the ground in the in Lebanon that are getting handouts and humanitarian aid and American citizens are having to apply for aid from the federal government should be another wake-up call to the American people aware there needs to be reform in our government and that's just the truth because there are moments like I said we're not for federal government getting too involved in everything you're doing in your life however you do pay taxes and those taxes should be going to things like I don't know storm relief to those who have no choice no decision-making power in what has happened to their homes North Carolina has never been hit like this eastern Tennessee never been hit like this from a storm but of course it can't be that easy and that is why we're encouraging our listeners in the state of Florida to take caution to be careful and to go to that website go to preparefl.com to stay attuned of what's happening let's go ahead and take another call let's go to Michael who's calling in California who's watching on rumble Michael you even hold since the second segment I appreciate you waiting thank you for taking my call my question is it's been talked about in the news Fox News has reported that they used FEMA money if I'm saying it correctly to house migrants of in a tune of billions of dollars and I grew up in a time where there was the old saying charity starts at home then spreads abroad and if this is true you still have the local news in different areas saying that it never happened and then the the person that runs FEMA said oh no it didn't happen but I was listening to people on the ground on the from the Sean Hannity show talking about the fact that where's FEMA they're FEMA they're nowhere around Samaritan Purse, Donald Trump, Elian Ma all those people are on the ground shortly after it happened and Donald Trump said out of his own mouth my campaign can be put on hold right now people need our help and and that it just much frustrates me as we you've been saying earlier in the caller said we can help other people but we can't help our citizens our neighbors the ones that they swore when they came into office that they were going to take care of. And Michael what you what you are referencing is that there were statements and things that started to get out that FEMA had diverted funds to migrants and so the FEMA administrator and Karine Jean-Pierre were all coming out saying that is false and Mike Johnson the Speaker of the House actually clarified the statement that there is money being used by FEMA to house migrants that that is a part of their budget for and and it honestly admits that there is an emergency that the administration didn't like to talk about with all these migrants incoming so FEMA was the organization that has been paying a lot of the housing cost for the migrant emergency. Now where the administrator and Karine Jean-Pierre tried to say is that yeah but that's not being diverted away from disaster relief at the end of the day it's still American taxpayer dollars using the federal emergency management agency to house migrants when they are concerned about a budget shortfall when it comes to the disasters that American citizens are facing so they're trying to be cute and be technical saying no we didn't divert any funds away from the emergency funds they're talking about two different pools of money but yes FEMA is indeed paying for housing of migrants that come into the United States. Yeah do we have time to play the Ron DeSantis? I think we do. This is Ron DeSantis also talking about storm relief and the conversations he's had with the administration we teased it earlier I wanted you to hear it before we wrap up today's show. And we've been laser focused on leveraging all resources available including from the federal government and I've been in touch with both FEMA and the President as well as marshaling all our state agencies and working to support our local communities and so for Kamala Harris to try to say that my sole focus on the people of Florida is somehow selfish is delusional she has no role in this in fact she's been Vice President for three and a half years I've dealt with a number of storms under this administration she has never contributed anything to any of these efforts and so what I think is selfish is her trying to blunder into this no and here's the thing she has no role no she has no role in this process I'm in contact with the President of the United States I'm in contact with FEMA Director I'm obviously managing all our state agencies we're supporting all our local government and I will say this I've had storms under both President Trump and President Biden and I've worked well with both of them she's the first one who's trying to politicize the storm and she's doing that just because of her campaign she's trying to get let's remember to not politicize when these storms happen when people are in need so I'm glad there's a governor like Ron DeSantis in the state of Florida who's willing to say that was willing to do that really focus I'm glad there are people like CFO Petronas who is out there making sure people are prepared ready and safe as they can be as this catastrophic storm hits Florida coming up in the next day we're going to monitor it go to preparefl.com again that's not our website that's our friend CFO Petronas and he has really laid out ways you can check it out again support the work of the ACLJ go to aclj.org we'll be praying for all of our Florida listeners and obviously all of our friends in North Carolina and Tennessee we'll talk to you tomorrow
