This is all razor wire thats been placed here by the state of texas by order of their governor. And so its led to a point where people are stuck, theyre stuck halfway in the water. Theyre surrounded by this sick razor wire, and many of them have been begging for help.

Jewish people are gods chosen people and i feel like an obligation to do anything within my control or power to support them or protect the members of donald says, what this does, this is an act driven public and these from contracting with and investing in companies the boy caught israel, its good pro israel middle by a sen, hester. Appreciate again. The the state is not protected from the church, but the church is protected from the state. I would say if theres 35 members, the arkansas center, i would say 35 members would say that they are believers in biology, scratch pressing for the house. This passage, a set of bill 513 repair of the machine, mr. Clark, i would say probably half we did the files, evangelicals. They understand how important it is to support israel. 69. 00 days, 3 days, 0 present. The bill is past in the. So this is where a lot of the tonight is it coming from now . Our family has been here for generations. My grandfather, he was a farmer. All my uncles for farmers, as you know were scotch irish. I mean were just white trash farmers. Id be of assistance, but that has square ricoh from the ive left college, the 1974, to started magazine, called the arkansas times the door. A bunch of 20, some things before we were the 1st people to have ever discovered arkansas were incredibly excited about the music, the history of the mythology, the beauty we wanted to discover arkansas or one to tell others about it. We want to write about it. This was a great story, the arkansas written next. What was it love, or fighter country boy was a sort of a loved letter to read next the, the times is free. So we cant be here without advertising. And the state governments, a big source of our income, the schools, the colleges, the Health Center is the hospitals. All those agencies advertise because you sign a contract with the state to provide them advertising and they provide your money. Now in order to get our money, we have to pledge not to boycott israel. I mean, when we got our 1st notice, i didnt think anyone waiting for the or can we were able to to ignore it for a long time. And finally, there was this purchasing guy with one of the colleges and he was just not going to let go. They said, im going to keep you from getting business from us until you sign this as required by the law. The, you know, when we 1st read about this law, we would, we did a story on it. So look at this, and people, most people i talk to the go. What does that have to do with the price of to you in china . I mean, you know, you have to take a, you know, its just, it has no relevance or bearing on arkansas have the right, the boy con, anyone i want to, and the state has no business getting involved in that period. So theyre busy. So we said no, the chair calls are here. Im always you just state your name who you represent and position on the bill. My name is virginia marie. Im im presenting myself and im against this bill happening today. A muslim group plans to issue a legal challenge to a texas law and its all about israel. It was actually the 1st bill of the 85th legislature. Governor greg, have it signed into law . I would say is, israel is one of the texas largest Reading Partners to daycare or the council on American Islamic relations. Will announce a major 1st amendment legal challenge to the law. What youre really hoping to stay will do is completely repeal and reveal the antibiotic statute repeal anything that has to violate my a my right to freedom of speech, my right to boycott and to choose a political view of my own palestinian American Teacher in austin, texas. Has filed a federal lawsuit for losing her job as a speech pathologist, after refusing to sign a pro israel old, and i sent email to my sons coordinator. Im telling her, listen, i cannot sign this is against my principals against my Constitutional Rights and, and its also against my moral and ethical values. Considering that i am a palestinian american, and i have family to actually live in occupied territories or faxed me personally as well. So, and effects me in both ways as american citizen and as of how soon american to the you and then have a sign. We have a select 1st, a select from a past life taskbar. Huh. Okay. I have a lot of family members are still reside in occupied territory. I know what ive seen 1st, and Justice Center in the quality that goes on there. That close off me roads. Only for meeting is ways to drive on those roads. But basically the whole idea is to make it as hard as possible for them to function and to have a livelihood. Anyhow, School Closures resting Young Children the and i could not, you know, stay quiet and just gone with my life. Well, i know that this law is gonna make it ok to continue this kind of oppression against the palestinians. The in recent years about 2 dozen states, republican and democrat has passed laws or executive orders to stymie the media movement, arizona, as long sale through the legislature with broad support that could make short all in a difficult situation. His parents lived in the west bank during the seventys and ever since college, hes advocated for palestinian rights. Short all never expected. His views on the Israeli Palestinian conflict to come up in his day job. After all, he gives legal advice to inmates in arizona. The was opening my annual contract from the state of arizona. And i was rather shocked to see this the i had promised my son ever since his bar mitzvah many years ago. His mom is jewish, so i am not but i had promised him a trip to the middle east. And so as some 12 years later we finally went and we had an incredible trip there. I saw a lot of things that were very disturbing that we saw in terms of civil rights, Civil Liberties discrimination my moms parents are definitely more on the conservative side of things. They would absolutely call themselves sinus. So it was interesting being exposed to that authenticate easily having all of this exposure to the injustices that are happening in israel and palestine. The, i think after that trip for him, it was really clear that he wanted to boycott any companies that were contributing to the injustice. Whats happening in the west bank . I am boycotting Hewlett Packard because they are involved in the bio metrics for the check points. Every palestinian has an id card that they must have and they delay palestinians for many, many hours at a time. And so thats part and parcel of the occupation the after my a trip to the west bank and seeing what ive seen. I was incensed enough that i said i couldnt sign this and i had to file suit i was committed to continuing on providing the services but not getting paid a substantial chunk of change for me. And but that was i was just, im willing to sign that certification and i didnt want to leave the jail in the lurch either. So i wanted to provide the service and so the decision to the state that was not one that came in lately. We definitely worried about people smearing his reputation, calling him in this, and that he was very fearful that you would lose. It took us by the head, the extremely proud of him and making the choice that he did the i 1st during the sale you as an intern at the city of southern california, believe that wouldve been the summer of 2009 was after my 1st year of law school it was definitely something i was seeking out since high school. I had been kind of obsessed with the sale. You to be honest. So this was at the beginning of the rack war. And i remember that there was this kind of rush to consensus that we shouldnt beta rack because saddam had weapons of mass destruction. And anybody who spoke out against it was a terrorist, sympathizer, or a communist or are fundamentally into american. And i remember that the still you campaign at that time was that the sentence patriotic. And thats something that really resonated with me. I always like to tell people that we have the best clients in this case, i think thats absolutely true. All manner of people have been forced to sign these anti bully ca, certification forms. Many of them are reluctant to throw themselves into the middle of a major public controversy. But weve got a few brave individuals to step forward and say, hey, this is the right thing to do. What im going to do it. Thats the kind of offers that makes me so happy to work at these. All you have us just wanna check in briefly about the total case where we are on the briefing is gone through basically all the levels of approval and that it needs to go through and were going to get it out hopefully today. And what about the other cases, the arkansas one i think is going to be filed in the next couple days. And then the texas case, i hope will get in the next week or 2 on on many fronts. Yes. One of the things that we hope to do with these cases is when a couple of them very quickly on the states that passed these kinds of laws to kind of deter others from doing the same thing. If all the courts are you now that these laws are unconstitutional, then my guess is that these bills will just die. And i think the states, they dont want the public to really be aware of whats going on. They dont want to have an open debate about it. They recognize that when people actually understand what the state was doing here, they would be absolutely horrified and appalled that legislatures would be trading away americans for some advice so easily of this problem today. Where did that idea now . You know, i cant nail down exactly where it came from, but im really so much just talking with my colleagues reading and then a chance meeting with another legislator from another state helped me really start to, to, to wrap in what was important. I was at a hotel, there was an hour meeting going on a coastal resort, protected by armed guard. This is in the state capital. Its a resort hotel where lawmakers are winding, dine as members of the American Legislative Exchange council or alec. This is a very, very Important Group across the country. Weve been more than 1300 people here. Our organization represents 25 percent of all state legislators in the country. Look closely at many conservative was passed by state legislatures and youre likely to find the hand of alex. Alex is the perfect petri dish for what ends up being a very, very destructive legislative scheme. In our country they bring together corporate leaders, evangelical leaders, and right wing legislators. They meet twice a year behind closed doors. And almost invariably, the laws they seek to pass and move out into the world, restrict the ability of people to be able to effectively operate in their democracy from stand your Ground Self Defense laws, district photo id laws, which critics say make it harder for minorities and the poor to vote. The group says its model bills are templates for as many as 200. 00 state laws passed a year. Theyre thinking about creating whats called model legislation. I like bills come complete with blanks where legislators need only fill in their state. May you start out with one idea and i met test the sizes into something that c a radically to be applicable every place in the united states. Its pretty safe to say that there wouldnt be 10 type boy bills popping up in different states around the country. Without out the so we have the tribune. Obviously we have k, u t. Cbs and the Office Number 250 the high you made it easy. We have one of my days just the wind round rock speech pathologist, but here we filed suit against lucre bill. I as the and the state of texas, she says she didnt do it for as railing or palestinian values, but for American Values is our responsibility to fight, to protect and preserve free speech for children. Similar to exactly that, our Founding Fathers having revisions this law house bill 89, was nothing but a censorship long. Meant to silence texans and punish them for expressing the practical view. Text and government should not be putting the interest of a foreign country over its own people. Thank you. A speech pathologist and slowly reel says the state is trying to silence her right to free speech. When this story, the here story started getting a lot of attention, the governor of texas simply tweeted out, texas stands with israel period. Any anti israel policy . Theres an anti texas part of the the as far as i know, im the only speech such as the call just as in the founding austin here and then losing an Important Service thats not available. Otherwise i feel like i am putting down my community the theres no boycott. Activism at arkansas, probably this law is about the only thing people only way people know about course were just, were not boycotting any what were just saying. You have no right to tell us what our speech should be and if we want to, if we want to boycott, we can. And oh, its none of your business its, its a, its a political act. And its that one that i choose to take. I just object to government, say we got a big a whole lot of money over here, but were not, it will give it to you. Will that well advertise with you. But heres, heres some, heres some conditions that you need to meet 1st, such as, heres the political position you need to take regarding Foreign Policy for gods sake and were in arkansas. Well, as i think alans case demonstrates, you dont have to be participating in a board kind of israel to find these anti boycott laws. Fundamentally, on american, alan, i hate to ask you this, but lets say that the paper uh action is unsuccessful in cory. Do you plan on signing that pledge or what does that mean for the future of your newspaper . Should you lose . I havent gone there yet to, but that thats something that will be a very, very difficult uh, very, very difficult decision for me. So we close this wednesday, march is for about 51000 and we need to get to 65 is when we get hanging out there starting the time. So 200. 00. So i wanted to go through the advertise last year. We dodge so many bullets over the last 45 years and and the newspaper businesses got tougher and tougher. The accurate clinic room for about 35. 00 people here to people whose families and mortgages the year for the state advertising. We can be on the the, when we launched the lawsuit, i was very confident i mean, any country that bases, its found the mythology around the Boston Tea Party and the boy kind of t. You would think that today you, 100 years later, we would still see boy cods as a political, a former political speech, and therefore protected by the 1st amendment. Today im going to sign an executive order that says if you boy, tide against israel, new york will boring time you, we in america must stand strong with israel through 2nd 5th. One of the highest duties of elected legislators is to defend their constitution. But here they are just giving away for our 1st amendment rights to a foreign country. Those the know do those that understand teach a Maverick School headmaster in postal comfort, go fast, determined to change the fortunes of an industry to Community Play by urban decay, poverty of the legacy of secretary and the russian arms of students with the knowledge of the ancient greek philosopher, participate on your 5th grade, and everybody else has this young play to a witness documentary on the jersey to in the Ultra National monks connected with one of the worlds was humanitarian crisis. We dont accept any getting migrant joining with the military to impose that deadly political agend. Yep. To filter our nation. What is happening to the pension . Thats one of the biggest stains of the country as well as a not really. This is important to me in an unholy alliance or analogies here. Isnt that they, the bosses with angela green list says he doesnt find plastic quote in his. Weve picked up a truck tire and a sun bed, but its mainly bottles, plates, forks, steaks, fishing. Net all plastic plastic is very busy and, and can fluid for years around the globe and ocean carrying with them fungus bacteria. And we can predict to that, that with increase of globe, of temperature and the seat temperature, the number of the stuff do we always going to increase as well . What changes to our ecosystem become visible 40 to 50 years later, but its already too late by then, and chances of reversing it nearly impossible. The former us President Donald Trump is non liable for doctor lying about his financial statements. The dictates, the hello. I am dire in jordan, this is obviously are a night from dell coming up. The us versus amazon, the Online Retail jobs being sued on charges of running and legal monopoly. Cool surgeon, medical supplies and the going to a car back off to deal with that for explosion
