SEKULOW

Will Haynes: Today on SEKULOW is the left turning against Chuck Schumer as dozens are arrested outside his office. Keeping you informed and engaged, now more than ever. This is SEKULOW. We want to hear from you. Share and post your comments or call 1-800-684-3110. And now your host. Welcome to SEKULOW and happy Friday. I'm Will Haynes. Logan Sekulow will be joining me shortly, but you heard that right. There were arrests on Capitol Hill as a sit-in was staged out in front of Chuck Schumer's office. Not exactly who you think would be getting protested at the time after Democrats just made historic wins across the country, even yesterday, Mississippi being called for the Democrat senator there.

And what were these individuals protesting? They were protesting Chuck Schumer himself with chants of, hey, hey, ho, ho, Chuck Schumer has got to go. They were arrested. These were individuals from the Sunrise Movement. This is a youth climate organization, but they were also calling for things like ending the filibuster, being able to force through any legislation that the left wants. This is at the same time that Senator from Maryland, Chris Van Hollen, announced last night he will run for the Democrat leader job. Let's go ahead and listen to what Chris Van Hollen had to say, as this is someone that is being called by Politico the new darling of the Democratic left.

Bite 3.

Chris Van Hollen: Yes, I am planning to run for the Senate majority leader, and let me tell you why, because this is not about any one individual, but it is about answering the call of the American people. We saw a huge outburst of democracy on election day, red states, blue states, purple states, and it wasn't only a rejection of Donald Trump and his corruption and his wars and his cruelty. It was also about a call for a larger change to take on a broken economic system that's rigged in favor of the very wealthy against working people, and it's fueled by a corrupt political system. And the call was really to reject the status quo and to reject business as usual.

And to do that, I think we need new leadership.

Will Haynes: New leadership. This is coming from an individual, I find this rich, that has, 67 years old, has been in Congress for 23 years, including the Senate since 2017, and he's considering himself the new facial face of Washington. I don't necessarily know that many people are going to buy that, but he is mounting a challenge to Chuck Schumer, who just delivered for the Senate, I mean, a huge majority, 55 seats as it stands, could even be 56, depending on how Alaska goes. And he's saying, we saw an outburst of democracy. As if every 2 years we don't have elections, democratically electing leaders across this country.

What changed all of a sudden? once again, this is what's happening within their own party. The honeymoon is over as the Democrats eat their own. They are going after their own leadership, those that decided where to spend money in races to help get individuals elected. And yes, there was a wave, but are they taking the right lessons from that so-called blue wave? We'll get into that, including what Axios is calling the algorithm trap that the Democrats could be caught in. What does it look like? What do the next two years look like? And even what are some of the threats that Senator Van Hollen is saying he would do if he were the next majority leader in the Senate.

And I want to hear from you. What do you think about this? It's just over a week since they had these historic returns at the polls, and yet the unity message is already long gone for Democrats. We'll talk about it, and I want to hear from you, 1-800-684-3110, as we continue to talk about the work of the ACLJ, as it is a time to stand strong. This is our Stand Strong Challenge, and you can stand with us as we continue to fight for your constitutional rights at aclj.org/stand. Every donation is doubled, dollar for dollar, when you give during the Stand Strong Challenge. When you start to hear the way that the party is going and the things that they want to do with their new leadership as they try to oust their current leadership, it is now the time to stand strong.

We know that the agenda is coming after conservative causes and the Constitution itself. Go to aclj.org/stand and have your donation doubled, dollar for dollar, during our Stand Strong Challenge. We'll be right back with more on SEKULOW. Across our nation, the principles that have shaped America for generations are being attacked. The lives of innocent unborn babies are still in jeopardy in numerous states across the country. Our education system is being hijacked as the left tries to strip parents of their God-given rights to decide where and what their children are taught. And religious liberty, it's under attack, especially for Christians.

It's moments like these when the temptation to give up grows stronger. But that's exactly when you have to decide, will I stand firm or will I just watch the waves tear away at our foundations? We need people who understand that religious liberty isn't just a political talking point. It's our God-given right. The stakes are higher than ever, but we are not helpless and we will not back down. Go to aclj.org/stand right now and have your tax deductible gift doubled to stand with the ACLJ today. We've witnessed monumental legal victories from defending the 14th Amendment and protecting our sacred American right to vote,

Announcer: the overturning of Roe versus Wade, and standing up for the religious liberty of our kids and seniors. But even with the many historic wins we've achieved, the battle is far from over. The attacks on our constitutionally protected rights persist. Countless unborn babies remain in jeopardy, and across the globe, innocent Christians are being targeted and killed across this country and around the world. This fight isn't just the ACLJ's, it's all of ours. It belongs to every American who wants to preserve the values and beliefs on which this nation was founded. None of the victories we've won would have been possible without the unwavering support of ACLJ members and ACLJ champions.

It's been an honor to fight for you all these years. Join us in fighting for freedom. Have your donation doubled at aclj.org/freedom. Sekulow, Will Haynes here, joined in studio by Logan Sekulow.

Logan Sekulow: I'm here.

Will Haynes: You're late, you lose your seat.

Logan Sekulow: I know, I missed the first segment. I'm sorry about that, but I'm here. I'm well informed, well engaged. I'm ready to get informed and engaged.

Will Haynes: We'll see about that.

Logan Sekulow: Like the intro says. I know our producer Allie, she kind of gave me a rundown here of what we're talking about here. People not thrilled with Chuck Schumer.

Will Haynes: That's right.

Logan Sekulow: Which I mean is, we've been saying that for years. I've not been thrilled with Chuck Schumer for pretty much his run.

Will Haynes: Right, he's been in it for a minute. I think he's been in Congress since 1981, perhaps. Kind of a historic run, really.

Logan Sekulow: He fully lost me with the, when he tried to grill the burgers frozen with the cheese on it. Yeah, so that was the, that was when

Will Haynes: He's just trying to be a man of the people.

Logan Sekulow: I was like 98%, and then I was like, he lost me there.

Will Haynes: Uh-huh. Totally gone. That was a full reversal.

Logan Sekulow: Yeah, because we probably have similar grill skills, I have a feeling, me and Chuck Schumer. Neither of us have manned a lot of grills, but I'm not dumb enough to post a picture like that. So, you know, that's where he lost me completely.

Will Haynes: See, I feel like that's his staff's fault. That's not on him.

Logan Sekulow: He's losing a lot of his support. The people getting protesting.

Will Haynes: You're seeing this, you're seeing dozens arrested. They're saying they want to get rid of the filibuster. There were 54 people arrested. I mean,

Logan Sekulow: Okay, let's go over that.

Will Haynes: First of all.

Logan Sekulow: For those who are just joining us, so why were they arrested? Like, what was this story?

Will Haynes: So this was a Sunrise Movement. It's a youth climate organization. They staged a sit-in in front of his office.

Logan Sekulow: Oh, inside?

Will Haynes: Inside the Capitol building. You can go in and visit.

Logan Sekulow: You can do that, but, and protests have happened there historically throughout, you know, decades and decades. That's nothing new. But I'm guessing this was causing quite a disturbance.

Will Haynes: Well, they were chanting things like, hey, hey, ho, ho, Schumer has got to go. They had signs that said the filibuster kills, stop the climate crisis, Schumer step up or step aside. So clearly not pleased with his leadership, even though...

Logan Sekulow: So not like Israel, not this is about climate?

Will Haynes: Specifically climate, but looking like they want to get rid of the filibuster. And you're already hearing some, you know, senators elect, like James Talarico, that said that it's a relic and needs to go away. He wants to get rid of it. He used the buzzwords that they love to use, saying it's a relic of Jim Crow, having the filibuster. So, once again, they're trying to condition the American people to get ready for when the Democrats, as we said they were planning on doing, would get rid of the filibuster.

Logan Sekulow: Well, to me, it's very similar to the Electoral College, where, yes, if you were to just try to explain it to people, I do think the there's a very easy way to explain why there shouldn't be the filibuster rule, why there shouldn't be an electoral college. It's, well, yeah, one vote equals one vote. Why wouldn't it be? Similar to this, why would the majority, like, why wouldn't it be majority rule? Why would we need this? Of course, we have a very different opinion on that, but when you're educating a group of younger voters, it is very, very easy to turn them to be pro-popular vote and by, you know, and by proxy also this.

Will Haynes: Well, and once again, you know, he tried to say the filibuster is a relic of Jim Crow. That was James Talarico, obviously, but you're starting to look at things that, as you mentioned, that people are not necessarily educated on why it exists. The Senate itself, we heard from Senator Chris Van Hollen in that first segment of the reason that he is running, and I want to get this quote specifically correct because he said, we saw an a huge outburst of democracy on election day. An outburst of democracy, which is hilarious because, yeah, we have democratically elected leaders. The specific makeup of the Senate is meant to be undemocratic in a way.

It serves as a check on majority rule because that is why each state has 2 senators, an equal amount, regardless of population. Now, those that are democratic socialist in the left, they want it to be only majority rule. That's why they want to get rid of the Electoral College. That's why they want to abolish the Senate. These are things in their platform, but these are specific mechanisms, not from, you know, a mid-century era, from the founding of the country itself. We didn't used to democratically elect senators. They were appointed by the state legislatures as a check on the population so that it wasn't mob rule in this country.

So you're starting to see we've already moved away from even the way senators were selected to a more democratic process. But by saying that a huge outburst of democracy happened on election day is just a hilarious statement. But here's what he wants to do, because he's running against Chuck Schumer now. This is a Democrat from Maryland, 67 years old, 23 years in Congress, and been in the Senate since 2017.

Logan Sekulow: It's not a young man.

Will Haynes: Right, and that's why even him saying we need new leadership, a fresh face, is kind of laughable that he is the one that is deciding

Logan Sekulow: He's not Abdul Al-Sayed.

Will Haynes: Exactly. But Abdul Al-Sayed is supporting Chris Van Hollen. You have people like Troy Jackson in Maine who is saying, I'm not so certain I'm going to vote for Chuck Schumer as leader. Now, their election is a closed door leadership election on December 1st. They are now trying to have a groundswell of support and obviously using things like social media and protests to try and make it so that it isn't the only option for Democrats to choose Chuck Schumer.

Logan Sekulow: Yeah, and we saw it did work for Republicans last time when obviously there was a push to have Kevin McCarthy step into one of the leadership roles.

Will Haynes: And we saw how well that worked out for Republicans. As soon as they had these kind of mutinies, it became chaos and damaged the brand to a degree.

Logan Sekulow: It did, but we did end up with Mike Johnson, who

Will Haynes: Who we would prefer.

Logan Sekulow: who was terrific. Now, so again, I think they did work itself out in some instances, and I saw a lot of people in the moment praising, praising when that happened, saying, you know what, we don't, we want it to be a little bit more like the UK. We want some yelling and screaming in our halls of Congress or in the Senate, like, why do we have

Will Haynes: I think that was just you.

Logan Sekulow: No.

Will Haynes: You were the one that said that.

Logan Sekulow: No, no, I actually didn't.

Will Haynes: Late night Parliament

Logan Sekulow: I do love it.

Will Haynes: Feeds.

Logan Sekulow: I do love watching it.

Will Haynes: You watch that.

Logan Sekulow: I do love watching it. However, I didn't like it, and I thought, you know, it was embarrassing. But I remember seeing a lot of my friends even reach out to me and go, we don't care. We don't mind a little chaos. We don't care Matt Gaetz is yelling, Donald J. Trump for leader, you know, like, remember all of that that came in from all of it, and what happened to that entire group of people, by the way? Where are they now?

Will Haynes: No longer

Logan Sekulow: You know?

Will Haynes: in Congress.

Logan Sekulow: Yeah, the new special. Remember, where are they now? Bring it back.

Will Haynes: Here's, here's what I want to play as well.

Logan Sekulow: Where are they now, MAGA coalition? What was it called, the, what do we, what a freedom, the freedom

Will Haynes: Freedom Caucus.

Logan Sekulow: Freedom Caucus.

Will Haynes: That still exists,

Logan Sekulow: I mean

Will Haynes: just those members are gone.

Logan Sekulow: I mean, it exists like in name only, Freedom Caucus in name of Finos, really. so let's just, let's move on.

Will Haynes: I want to play this. This is from Chris Van Hollen talking with Jen Psaki last night. This is after he revealed that he will be running for the majority leader of the Senate against Chuck Schumer. and this is how he would hold the President of the United States accountable for Iran, getting him to end the war. Now, this has been also a thing they continue to say, but currently, what war are they ending? Are they going to pull all of our assets from the Middle East, from Jordan, from Bahrain, from Qatar, all these large military bases, Saudi Arabia? I mean, that's the real question, because as it stands, it is kind of a stalemate.

There's not really fighting going on. There may be a little airstrike here and there, but it's not what they are talking about when they say

Logan Sekulow: I don't like the way he said that.

Will Haynes: in the war.

Logan Sekulow: Just a little airstrike here or there.

Will Haynes: But this is what he had to say, how he would give the president a choice about ending the war in Iran by 2.

Jen Psaki: The president of the United States, he would be forced to end the war, is your point. You think that's the approach that would force him to end the war, because Congress can't do it unilaterally.

Chris Van Hollen: Right, the president would be given a choice, right? Does he say to the American people that I'm going to shut down the United States government? Am I going to shut down all the agencies of the US government to keep the illegal war in Iran going and to keep prices high when we could do it now. So the president would have a choice. He could choose to completely ignore the will of the American people and shut down the government, but my view is it's our job to do what we think is best for the country.

Will Haynes: So what he's saying right there is that literally, if he is leader, and what he thinks the strategy is, is to

Logan Sekulow: Shut it down.

Will Haynes: have another government shutdown on the table.

Logan Sekulow: That's why I literally turned to you, so when did he say this? Because this feels like a remnant of the past.

Will Haynes: Right. Last night.

Logan Sekulow: Last night. I'm sorry, I wasn't watching Jen Psaki's show last night, so I wasn't aware.

Will Haynes: Because you were watching Parliament.

Logan Sekulow: I'm sure, I'm sure. Yeah, I was doing some other things. I was watching the Streamer Awards, actually, is what it was, Will.

Will Haynes: Oh, because you like Hassan Piker.

Logan Sekulow: Hassan Piker was there. I turned, which did, honestly, it was one of those moments where I was like, this guy's a fraud, you know? He's sitting like everyone else is a gamer, and then there's Hassan Piker at this table.

Announcer: That's how he started.

Logan Sekulow: Who's supposed to... I know that.

Announcer: He was a gamer.

Logan Sekulow: But leading like a charge, you know, of political movement, you know, when Peely the Banana is giving out an award, it did feel like, OK, maybe I give this guy like a little too much credit.

Announcer: Well, I think, though, that's what actually goes into our discussion in the next segment, because Axios has this article that says behind the curtain Democrats algorithm trap. And I think it's actually fascinating to look at, especially you who have kids that are into gaming and streaming and like very, I feel like you're very hip to where the

Logan Sekulow: Look at this jacket.

Announcer: the kids are.

Logan Sekulow: Yeah, I'm a cool dude.

Announcer: And that, I think, when you start to look at the way this election went, this was very much a vibes election when it comes to things like affordability and the way that they use social media.

Logan Sekulow: I like the way you said vibes election.

Announcer: And-

Logan Sekulow: That sounds like something my kids would say too.

Announcer: I know, I'm trying to be cool like you.

Logan Sekulow: I like it. I like it, you're getting there.

Announcer: But this is where we're going to talk about, is there an algorithm trap where the echo chamber is feeding back into itself, and they're not looking at the reality of which individuals in states like Mississippi, in Kansas were elected? They weren't DSA candidates, but it's the DSA wing that is taking this as the mandate and saying, here is what we have to change. But here's something that won't change. We are in our Stand Strong challenge, and that means that every donation you give to the ACLJ is doubled, dollar for dollar. We know the fights ahead are going to be great. We can already see what they're forecasting, what they want to do to the Supreme Court, to the Electoral College, to the Senate itself.

We have to stand strong to protect our Constitution and your rights under that Constitution, including your religious freedom, your freedom of speech, and we will not go anywhere. We will stand strong, and you can stand with us today, having your donations doubled, dollar for dollar, at aclj.org/stand. That's aclj.org/stand to stand strong with us in this Stand Strong Challenge. We'll be right back with more on SEKULOW, and you can call us at 1-800-684-3110 to be on air.

Will Haynes: Go to aclj.org/stand right now and have your tax deductible gift doubled to stand with the ACLJ today. Welcome back to SEKULOW, Will Haynes joined in studio by Logan Sekulow as well, and we're talking about this fallout from the election, not in the way you'd think. It's not against the Republicans that lost seats. It's not against the president per se. You're seeing it the very leaders that led the coalition in many of these states that are now being rejected by their own party. You're seeing new individuals like Chris Van Hollen say, I'm going to run for leader. I'm going to try to unseat Chuck Schumer from the leadership position.

And even he has to throw in a few things, like he said, you know, he chose AIPAC over the Democrats. So, I mean, that's a little bit of a nudge of where his mind's at as well, but that also buys into what we've seen across this entire election, and that's something that Axios is calling the algorithm trap. And you even saw in that video that where Van Jones talked about them using 10,000 individuals to push the message of affordability wherever they could. Obviously, that gets scooped up by the algorithm. These are the tools that are being used now in elections, and you're starting to see, though, it's not just that there is a pushback and that the algorithm trap maybe gets people excited, or they think that's where the party is.

When you look at reality, the people that are pushing DSA things and Medicare for all and all of these line items that would be told to you is where the pulse of the party is online isn't who was elected in Mississippi, in Maine, in Kansas, in maybe in Texas to some degree, but a lot of times they were running as moderates to try and appeal to a base there, whether they're moderates or not. It's not that the DSA agenda necessarily won like they would have you believe.

Logan Sekulow: I mean, in some ways, it's be like just exclusively trusting a movie reviewer to 100% align with your views, you know, if you maybe trust them, or a food critic, or maybe a Yelp review, and not understanding the fact that so many people can come in and really change a business, you know, can hurt a business with a couple dozen people, really can go in and do that. Now take that to the scale of only 10,000. When you think about 10,000, 10,000 is nothing. 10,000 people, if 10,000 people online really could sway this election, imagine what could be done. I mean, we have half a million over that that watch this show on YouTube alone.

You know, almost 600,000 subscribers just on YouTube watch this show. So if you get out of your echo chamber, you can make a big influence. This is grassroots marketing. We do think about getting out on the streets. I think that's still very important on your local elections, but remember how much of your local is being controlled by Facebook groups. It's being controlled by your Instagram feed, by TikTok. I mean, we think about young people, but it's not just young people. Think about how many people are involved, how many older people are involved in their neighborhood Facebook group or their citywide Facebook group that talk politics, it seems, ad nauseam.

Maybe you can get engaged in that way too. Maybe two can play at that game, and I think it's something that we have to really look into beyond just going, oh, they're manipulating. They're kind of just playing by the new world.

Will Haynes: Well, and once again, even apps like Nextdoor, which is, you know, the talking about neighborhood groups. I mean, normally you're getting push notifications of, what was that? Was that a gunshot? Or you're hearing, I've lost my dog or cat. Like, that's the vast majority of posts on Nextdoor. I was getting inundated with things of, here's why to vote no on constitutional amendments, and videos of people that just seem like random neighbors that are telling you this. There's no way that that was completely organic. They were able to utilize not just the big social media platforms, the TikTok, X, YouTube, et cetera, but actually dive deep into some of the more nuanced places to get an agenda across, and I think it was very effective.

Logan Sekulow: There's a call coming in, Rachel in New York, watching on YouTube, who kind of ties into this thing would be good. Let's go to Rachel. Go ahead.

Guest (Female): Hello, thanks for taking my call. I'm just wondering, are there any safeguards or anything in place or could be put in place to kind of help this, you know, put up, I'm sorry, like protect us from the agenda that these DSA people and others are kind of forcing on

Logan Sekulow: us? Yeah. Well, well, Rachel, from a federal point of view, you're still the President of the United States for the next few years. So that's at least one positive. There is the power of the veto coming in when some of this happens, but also, I mean, elections have consequences, as we always say that all the time. Sure, there are obviously ways the ACLJ fights back. We feel it's unconstitutional. A lot of times you can do that locally as well. Maybe your local, you know, judges, your local laws can be a little bit easier than necessarily always going the federal level. But there are, I understand that there's real concern here with some of the ideologies, and when you learn how they were able to infiltrate in some ways.

Will Haynes: Rachel, yes, there is something that counteracts a lot of this ideology. It's called the United States Constitution. It's what we fight for here every single day at the ACLJ. It's what our attorneys are constantly fighting for, for individuals' constitutional rights when you see localities, cities, school boards, et cetera, try and trample on those constitutional rights. And so it goes all the way to the local government level, all the way up to this new incoming Congress that we will continue to fight. So we are a safeguard, and the Constitution is a safeguard against this. But I think we should also bring this into the discussion, because this is from that Axios article about the algorithm trap.

It says Democrats clearly won because voters are tired of Trump's ideas, rhetoric, and tactics. They clearly won because they fielded very moderate candidates in very red states. Flips in Kansas, which hadn't elected a Democrat senator in nearly a century, Iowa, Texas, Ohio, North Carolina, and South Carolina. They clearly won because those candidates uniformly talked about the economy, the cost of living, and things that matter to real people in real states. Only the most delusional Democrats think they won because of the mass appeal of their party. They know they have a golden opportunity to reposition and rehabilitate the Democratic brand.

Flashback, the last time Democrats held a majority this big after 2008, they lost 63 House in the seats 2 years later. So that is why I think you have those that are maybe trying to be a little pragmatic, that are crazy to say the more moderate members of their parties now, Chuck Schumer, Hakeem Jeffries. I would by no means label them moderates, but that's why the far left is turning on them. They know that they have to deliver on these things that they ran on. Now, I know the people that watch this show didn't buy it from the messages that we're putting out, but if they only believe that these candidates in this positioning of their party is the way forward, then you could see a swift backlash in 2 years.

Logan Sekulow: Yeah, and look, I can push back and say I definitely saw people in the chat, though, who said I didn't vote, who definitely said I didn't get out there, you know, because they felt like the party had left him or felt like the candidates were poor candidate choices. And look, I don't agree with you doing that, but I understand it. I think we ran, the Conservatives ran a pretty poor choice of options. I think it was a pretty weak field there. So yes, they may have not fallen for going to vote, you know, flip to blue, but they may not have been motivated at all to vote, you know, in their local elections.

Will Haynes: Anecdotally, I mean, we see what happened here in Tennessee.

Logan Sekulow: It was way closer than it should have been.

Will Haynes: Way closer than it should. And what conversations did I have with friends and family of, well, we're safe here in Tennessee.

Announcer: Yeah, it's a very conservative

Logan Sekulow: So I got to go wait in line an hour.

Will Haynes: I'm going to go wait in line or I have to go early vote for what is a foregone conclusion. Now,

Logan Sekulow: She went.

Will Haynes: It, it, the conservative candidates won, not in every single race, but in other races very close, not necessarily because of bad candidates or a shift in ideology.

Logan Sekulow: Not by the 20%, 30, 40% was expected.

Will Haynes: But it's because 900,000 less Tennesseans decided to actually go vote, and it made it razor thin.

Logan Sekulow: Yeah, hey, I want to tell you, we will be back. We have a second half hour coming up. Join us on aclj.org, YouTube, Rumble, wherever you get your podcasts. We're there live and also archived immediately following the show, but support the work of the ACLJ during our Stand Strong Challenge. This is our short break, only a minute, but a minute is enough time to have your donation made and doubled at aclj.org. We'll be right back.

Will Haynes: Across our nation, the principles that have shaped America for generations are being attacked. The lives of innocent unborn babies are still in jeopardy in numerous states across the country. It's moments like these when the temptation to give up grows stronger, but that's exactly when you have to decide, will I stand firm, or will I just watch the waves tear away at our foundations? Go to aclj.org/stand right now and have your tax deductible gift double today.
