Hello friend. Thank you so much for downloading this

0:02

broadcast, and it is my sincere hope

0:04

that you will hear something that will encourage, equip,

0:06

edify, enlighten and then get you out

0:08

there in the marketplace of ideas. But before you go

0:10

and start listening to the broadcast, let me

0:12

take one moment and introduce you to this month's Truth

0:15

Tool. It's a book called misled,

0:17

and I chose this book because when you start listening

0:19

to some of the things that are being taught from the front

0:21

of the church today, it's disconcerting.

0:24

Legalism, overemphasis on prosperity,

0:26

a warped sense of grace, harmful

0:29

ideas that will turn people off from

0:31

the gospel and lead them away. That's

0:33

why I've chosen the book misled. The

0:35

purpose of this book is to help you learn how

0:37

to identify false teachings, while at

0:39

the same time finding joy in the gospel

0:42

with all its power and its simplicity.

0:44

Where listener supported radio. These truth

0:46

tools are my way of not only helping you grow up

0:49

in him, but they help our program as well financially.

0:51

So simply call 877 Janet

0:53

58 877 Janet

0:55

58. Give a gift of any amount and I'll send

0:57

you as a way of saying thank you. A copy of the

0:59

book misled. You might also want

1:15

just a moment longer. Just below misled

1:18

is a description of what it means to be a partial partner.

1:20

Those are people who give every single month at

1:22

a level of their own choosing. They always

1:24

get the truth tool each and every month, but they get something

1:27

else. I put out a newsletter every

1:29

single week that includes a copy of my radio

1:31

transcript, and the only people who get that are my

1:33

partial partners, as well as an audio piece just

1:36

for those who are partial partners. So if

1:38

you want to support this program on a monthly basis,

1:40

again, you choose the level. My way of saying

1:42

thank you is sending you a copy of each and every

1:44

month's truth tool and a weekly copy

1:46

of our newsletter. So in the market with

1:48

2:04

And all that.

2:11

Hi, friends. Welcome to In the Market with Janet

2:13

Parshall. It's Heart to Heart Friday,

2:15

where Craig and I share some of the stories making

2:17

headlines this week. And then we'll offer

2:19

our insight and analysis. If you'd

2:21

like to join in the conversation on what we're talking

2:23

about, please call (877) 548-3675.

2:28

That's (877) 548-3675.

2:31

Now let's take a quick look back at some of the other

2:33

topics we discussed this week.

2:42

We can't get rid of social media. We can't

2:44

abandon it. I agree with one

2:46

political thinker who said social media

2:48

has become the new public square, and

2:51

we're called to go into the public square. So

2:53

are there going to be challenges? Yes, we

2:55

we address this in the book. You have

2:57

to modify some of the things we're talking about.

3:00

By the way, the pre conversation really

3:02

applies. Before you hit send,

3:05

you should really spend some time with the Lord

3:07

to say, am I? Do I really

3:09

want to send this? Is the tone right?

3:11

Is this how I really want to come across

3:13

to this person?

3:14

I don't think it's the wrong question to say,

3:16

prove to me that God exists because I

3:18

understand where they're coming from. The question

3:21

I always have back is when you say

3:23

prove, what do you mean? Because

3:25

if you mean that, prove to me

3:27

with a degree of certainty that

3:30

that that leaves absolutely zero

3:32

room for questioning, let alone

3:34

doubt. Well, then I'm not going to be able to do that,

3:36

because I can't prove to you that I actually

3:38

am a real person and not some kind of a

3:40

hologram, and that you're not in the matrix

3:43

and that you're not being, you know, your

3:45

brain is in a vat that's being

3:47

stimulated by some mad scientist to think you're

3:49

actually alive. I couldn't prove that

3:51

to you beyond any

3:53

possible questioning, because of course that's

3:55

possible. But it's not. It's highly

3:58

unlikely. So I always ask, what

4:00

do you mean by the word prove?

4:03

The single most powerful

4:05

thing we have apart

4:08

from prayer and spiritual forces? I'm

4:10

just talking about people who may not even know the Lord

4:12

is the right to vote,

4:14

to be a people,

4:16

a nation that

4:18

that operates based upon the consent

4:21

of the governed. It is our voice.

4:23

It is our ability to

4:26

vote for who is going to represent

4:28

us, and thereby the rules

4:30

and laws under which we are going to

4:32

live. You not only have a cause

4:34

and effect of good government, bad government,

4:37

but you have a person, a

4:39

capital P person called

4:42

Yahweh, Jehovah, the

4:44

infinite personal God who

4:46

is pleased or he is displeased

4:49

with the country. And that is why

4:51

I believe Mr. Lincoln said, we cannot be a

4:53

house divided whether we are going to

4:55

enslave human beings, that we're going to

4:57

have to get rid of this. And South

4:59

Carolina said, no, we're not. And you know what happened

5:02

after that for four years? And so he

5:04

just said, we can't live with this idea

5:06

of of taking away a person's life

5:09

and freedom that that can't be part of our

5:11

country.

5:13

It's hard to heart Friday. Here are some of the

5:15

other stories making headlines this week.

5:18

Hamas says it is sending a delegation

5:20

to Egypt, quote, as soon as possible to keep

5:22

working towards this long anticipated,

5:25

long delayed cease fire

5:27

deal with Israel, which is still not

5:29

really in sight.

5:30

Heavy storms have killed over two

5:32

dozen people in Brazil's southernmost

5:34

state of Rio Grande do Sul.

5:36

That's according to local authorities

5:38

Thursday, as they reported many

5:41

more missing.

5:41

Portland State University in Oregon cleared

5:43

out protesters who had occupied the

5:45

school's library since Monday more

5:48

than 20 arrests.

5:50

It's hard to hurt Friday on in the market

5:52

with Janet Parshall. Craig and I have lots

5:54

to share, and we'll put the first story on the table

5:56

when we return. To join the conversation

5:59

on the topics we're discussing, call (877) 548-3675.

6:04

That's (877) 548-3675.

6:22

The Bible tells us that in the latter days there

6:24

will be more and more false teachers, and we

6:26

are hearing from so many of them today.

6:28

That's why I've chosen misled as

6:30

this month's truth tool, learn how to recognize

6:32

false and harmful messages so rampant

6:34

in the church today. As for your copy of

6:36

misled, when you give a gift of any amount to in the

6:39

market, call eight 7758.

6:41

That's 877 Janet 58 or

6:43

go to in the market with Janet parshall.org.

6:47

Happy Friday to you friends. Craig Parshall is

6:50

with me. On Fridays we take a look at stories

6:52

from a biblical perspective. And we're going to dive

6:54

right in because I want to talk about

6:56

Israel and the protesting that's taking

6:58

place across the country. But also, I said that

7:00

I would wait until today to talk

7:02

about some who are threatening

7:05

to issue arrest warrants by way

7:07

of the International Criminal Court

7:09

against Israeli leaders. I'm going to turn

7:11

to I24 major news outlet in

7:13

Israel and have them summarize the story. Have

7:15

a listen.

7:16

Israeli and US officials are reportedly

7:19

worried that the International Criminal Court could

7:21

issue arrest warrants for top leadership

7:23

over the war in Gaza. It's a

7:25

potential verdict that Western leaders argue

7:28

is not even within the remit of the

7:30

court.

7:30

So we've been really clear about

7:32

the ICC investigation. We do not support

7:35

it. We don't believe that they have the

7:37

jurisdiction and

7:39

I'm just going to leave it there for now.

7:41

A verdict could potentially target Prime Minister

7:43

Benjamin Netanyahu, Defense Minister Yoav

7:45

Galant and others. The ICC investigation

7:47

alleges that Israel is intentionally starving

7:50

the population of war torn Gaza as

7:52

it pursues Hamas terrorists. Israel

7:54

denies the starvation claim, pointing out that

7:56

the number of aid trucks entering Gaza

7:58

has risen from approximately 70

8:00

per day before the war to well

8:02

over 250 daily now.

8:05

Israeli spokesman also say that there are

8:07

well documented cases of Hamas stealing

8:09

the humanitarian aid to sell at inflated

8:11

prices. But Israel is not

8:13

a member of the ICC. So what is the

8:15

risk?

8:16

It means that any country that

8:18

is a party to the Rome Statute,

8:20

and that's most European states, undertakes

8:23

to arrest the person if

8:25

there's an arrest warrant has been issued.

8:27

An unnamed official cited by Bloomberg

8:29

also noted that should the ICC warrants

8:32

be issued, Israel could back away from an

8:34

emerging deal to pause the fighting for 40

8:36

days in exchange for the release of 33

8:38

hostages held by Hamas. And

8:40

there's also the threat to legitimacy

8:42

should Israeli leaders be branded war criminals?

8:44

Many European nations would be forced by

8:46

their own laws to cut arms exports,

8:49

despite making up only a tiny fragment

8:51

of Israel's total. It also risks turning

8:53

Israel into a diplomatic pariah.

8:56

Now, I'm going to turn immediately to Benjamin

8:58

Netanyahu and let you hear his response. By

9:00

the way, just to know that you heard the white House

9:02

press secretary saying that we

9:04

are not we the United States don't have anything to do

9:07

with this. However, the Times of Israel is

9:09

reporting that apparently U.S. lawmakers

9:11

have met with senior court officials. So

9:13

there is some sort of dialogue going on.

9:15

This is unprecedented. And now I want

9:17

you to hear what the Prime Minister of Israel has to say. Have

9:19

a listen.

9:21

You have to hear this to believe this. The

9:24

International Criminal Court in The Hague

9:27

is contemplating issuing

9:29

arrest warrants against senior

9:31

Israeli government and military officials

9:34

as war criminals. This

9:36

would be an outrage of historic

9:39

proportions. International

9:41

bodies like the ICC arose

9:44

in the wake of the Holocaust committed against

9:46

the Jewish people. They

9:48

were set up to prevent such

9:50

horrors, to prevent future genocides.

9:53

Yet now the international

9:56

court is trying to put Israel

9:58

in the dock. It's trying

10:00

to put us in the dark as we defend

10:02

ourselves against genocidal terrorists

10:05

and regimes. Iran, of course,

10:07

that openly works to destroy

10:09

the one and only Jewish state.

10:12

Branding Israel's leaders and soldiers

10:14

as war criminals will pour jet

10:17

fuel on the fires of anti-Semitism.

10:19

Those fires that are already raging on the

10:21

campuses of America and across

10:23

capitals around the world. It

10:25

will also be the first time that

10:27

a democratic country fighting for its life

10:29

according to the rules of war is

10:32

itself accused of war crimes. The

10:35

Israeli army, the IDF, is

10:37

one of the most moral militaries in the

10:39

world. It takes endless

10:41

measures to prevent civilian casualties,

10:44

measures that no other army takes.

10:46

It does so while fighting a terrorist enemy

10:48

which uses its own civilians

10:50

as human shields. You know

10:52

the truth. Hamas places its weapons,

10:55

its terrorists in hospitals, schools,

10:57

mosques and throughout civilian areas.

10:59

They do this in order to win immunity

11:01

and to maximize civilian casualties.

11:04

So while Hamas shows no care

11:06

for the lives of Palestinians and

11:08

steals humanitarian aid meant for civilians,

11:11

Israel is facilitating a

11:13

surge of humanitarian assistance to Gaza.

11:16

And we do this to ensure that the Palestinian

11:18

population's humanitarian needs are

11:20

met, rather than commend Israel

11:22

for abiding by the rules of war

11:25

while fighting an enemy that violates every

11:27

rule of war, including holding

11:29

133 Israeli men, women

11:31

and and children hostage. Who is

11:33

the ICC targeting? The

11:35

democracy called Israel, and

11:38

in targeting Israel, the ICC

11:40

would be targeting all democracies

11:43

because it would be undermining their inherent

11:45

right to defend themselves against

11:47

savage terrorism and wanton aggression.

11:50

Clearly, this threat by the ICC

11:53

is not an attempt to enforce the law.

11:56

Israel is not even subject to the court's

11:58

jurisdiction, and it has an independent

12:00

legal system that rigorously investigates

12:03

all violations of the law. Rather,

12:05

this ICC attempt is an

12:07

attempt to paralyse Israel's very

12:10

ability to defend itself. The government

12:12

and people of Israel reject outright

12:14

this grave threat to our security.

12:17

This grave threat to our very existence.

12:19

And I want to assure you, no

12:21

ICC action will impact Israel's

12:24

iron clad determination

12:26

to achieve the goals of our war

12:28

with Hamas terrorists. We will

12:30

destroy Hamas's military and governing capabilities

12:32

in Gaza. We will release all

12:35

our hostages, and we will ensure

12:37

that Gaza never poses a threat to

12:39

Israel again. Israel

12:41

expects the leaders of the free world

12:43

to stand firmly against the ICC

12:45

outrageous assault on Israel's

12:48

inherent right of self-defense. We

12:50

expect them to use all the means at their

12:52

disposal to stop this dangerous

12:54

move. Six months

12:56

after the terrible Hamas massacre

12:58

of October 7th, 80 years

13:00

after the horrors of the Holocaust, the

13:02

Jewish state calls on decent people everywhere

13:05

to reject this outrage by the ICC,

13:08

to stand with Israel as

13:10

we fight the barbarians of Hamas

13:12

and Iran, and as we work to secure

13:15

a more peaceful world.

13:17

Benjamin Netanyahu, responding to this

13:20

unprecedented move by the International

13:22

Criminal Court. Now, before Craig weighs in and trust

13:24

me, he has a thing or two to say about this, let

13:26

me tell you that this story is far from over. Just

13:29

today, officials at the ICC

13:31

warned against efforts to try and sway

13:33

the court after reports that Israel and its

13:35

allies are attempting to dissuade

13:37

the court from issuing arrest warrants

13:40

against senior officials, including

13:42

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, because

13:45

of the terrorist move that Gaza committed

13:47

against Israel. Stick with me. I know

13:49

this sounds bizarre. So while the ICC

13:52

quote welcomes open communication,

13:54

end quote, with government officials

13:56

and non-governmental bodies alike, it will

13:58

only engage in such dialogue so

14:00

long as it is, quote, consistent

14:02

with its mandate under the Rome,

14:05

as in the city Rome Statute,

14:07

to act independently and impartially,

14:09

that from the key prosecutor, a fellow by

14:11

the name of Karim Khan, he

14:14

is the ICC prosecutor. He put

14:16

out a statement and basically saying to the world,

14:18

don't try to influence me. Now remember,

14:20

the ICC is the court

14:22

arm of the United Nations. Remember, the

14:24

United Nations is already aggressively

14:27

anti-Israel. So them

14:29

pretending they are painting a position of neutrality

14:31

in terms of their jurisprudence doesn't pass

14:33

the straight face test. Khan's statement goes

14:35

on to say that independence and impartiality

14:38

are undermined, however, when individuals

14:40

threaten to retaliate should the

14:42

office, in fulfillment of its mandate,

14:45

make decisions about investigations or

14:47

cases falling within its jurisdiction.

14:49

And he's demanding that, quote, all attempts

14:52

to impede, intimidate or improperly influence

14:54

its officials cease immediately. So let me

14:56

see if I can break this down into common parlance around

14:58

the dinner table. So you have, again,

15:00

this legal arm of the United Nations, the International

15:03

Criminal Court. As a follower of Christ, I already

15:05

have a problem because we have national

15:07

sovereignty. We have American jurisprudence.

15:10

Our people have designed our statutes

15:12

vis a vis the legislative system. That's why

15:14

we say declaratively and factually

15:16

that the will of the people is the law of

15:19

the land. Some unelected entity

15:21

over there called the International Criminal

15:23

Court, has no authority, no

15:25

jurisdiction and no control

15:27

over what we do as a sovereign

15:29

nation. That same set of principles

15:32

applies for the sovereign nation of Israel

15:34

as well. But apparently the United Nations,

15:36

in its hubris, moving us closer

15:38

to the end of the book, feels

15:40

like it has the right to make within their

15:42

own authority a decision of who and who

15:45

is not a war criminal.

15:47

So the idea of a just war, the idea

15:49

of sovereign national, the idea of protecting

15:51

yourself as a sovereign state, all of those ideas

15:53

go out the window. And we have now

15:55

something that takes the whole judgment

15:57

at Nuremberg, flips it stands, it's

16:00

on its head. And now would put in

16:02

the dock, which is an English saying in the law. By the

16:04

way, if you've ever seen an old black and white English

16:06

film that has any kind of a trial, their

16:08

courtroom setup is different than ours. And the

16:10

witness literally stands in a box. It's

16:12

called the dock. So you heard Benjamin

16:14

Netanyahu use that phrase in the dock.

16:17

In other words, they're on trial for,

16:19

quote, terminal criminal activities,

16:21

which is absolutely unconscionable, by the way, to the

16:23

idea about humanitarian aid. This is

16:25

the wonderful thing about the technology we've

16:27

got that's global. I sat and watched quite a bit

16:29

of video yesterday when humanitarian

16:32

aid trucks were coming into Gaza,

16:34

and the Hamas thugs

16:37

would stop the trucks from coming in.

16:39

They then take the international aid

16:41

off the trucks. They turn around and they try

16:43

to sell it to the Gazans. Now, remember, this

16:45

aid has already been purchased by the countries that have provided

16:47

the aid. But now, because they're

16:49

thugs and terrorists and murderers,

16:52

they turn around and they try to sell the aid

16:54

to the very people who are supposed to be the recipients. So

16:56

that's just an interesting sidebar, Craig. This

16:58

is unprecedented. We've never had anything like this in

17:01

first of all, I think in the history of

17:03

the world, but also the palpable

17:05

hatred here toward the Jews is unbelievable.

17:08

You know, Janet and I hear

17:11

the music so we can go into this, and I

17:13

think we need to when we come back, because

17:15

there's a little bit of history and a

17:17

page of history is worth a volume

17:19

of logic, as, uh, Oliver

17:21

Wendell Holmes said, one

17:23

of the things on the Supreme Court I do happen to agree

17:25

with, uh, so when we come back, we'll talk

17:28

about just a page of history that's going

17:30

to enlighten your listeners

17:33

about why the ICC, the International Criminal

17:35

Court, is a problem.

17:37

Yeah, lots to say, by the way. So this

17:39

is still a story that's fresh and it's

17:41

new. And as I say, as of today, uh,

17:43

Karim Khan, the chief prosecutor for

17:45

the International Criminal Court, is basically saying, don't

17:48

you threaten me as he threatens

17:50

Israel. Don't let that irony

17:52

miss you. We're going to take a break and come right back.

17:55

This is in the market with Janet Parshall. He's Craig

17:57

Parshall back after this. So

18:04

this really is stunning and rather historic news.

18:06

And so as you and I walked through life with the Bible in one hand,

18:08

in the newspaper and the other, and we always

18:10

keep our eyes on Israel, because

18:13

that's going to be a little piece of property

18:15

that's going to plague greatly when this

18:17

whole story ends. So the Bible

18:19

in one hand, newspaper in the other. And one of the reasons why

18:22

Craig and I are so fascinated with Israel is because

18:24

it has, is and will be very significant

18:26

to the truth of Scripture. So this

18:28

mounting animus against the Jewish

18:31

people should come as no surprise. If you're in

18:33

the word. There's a long history

18:35

about this, by the way. So now we've

18:37

got this unprecedented move by the International Criminal

18:39

Court. I'll say it again. Those of us who believe in national

18:42

sovereignty, and we should, by the way, because the Bible

18:44

talks about national sovereignty, the Bible

18:46

talks about God establishing boundaries

18:49

for nations when there was hegemony. I give you a

18:51

fella by the name of Nimrod that

18:53

got scattered and people broke up into

18:55

various areas. So the division of the nations

18:57

is very much of a biblical concept.

19:00

So I don't subscribe, nor does Craig to the

19:02

idea of some international entity that happens

19:04

to be one of the subsets of

19:06

the United Nations somehow thinking it has authority

19:09

over other nations, and

19:11

yet they think they do. And in their

19:13

own hubris, they have decided that

19:15

somehow Israel, not the terrorists

19:17

that were putting babies in ovens or raping

19:19

women or beheading children,

19:22

but that somehow the Israelis

19:24

have committed war crimes and they're going after

19:26

the head of the Jewish state, which, of course, would

19:28

be Benjamin Netanyahu. So today, in

19:30

a threatening posture, the chief prosecutor for

19:32

the ICC, a fellow by the name of Karim Khan,

19:35

said, basically, don't you threaten

19:37

me. I'm well within my rights to go

19:39

after Israel. Well, Craig, this

19:41

opens up a whole Pandora's box, if you will.

19:43

So you were talking about history. Talk about the history

19:46

first and then walk us through this. Yeah.

19:47

In the waning weeks

19:49

and months, perhaps at the

19:51

most of the presidency of Bill Clinton,

19:54

he attempted to sign the United

19:56

States on to the ICC

19:59

covenant, the International Covenant among

20:01

Nations joining

20:03

in the International Criminal

20:06

Court. And it was very controversial. Law professors,

20:09

um, on both sides of the issue were

20:11

saying there may be a problem

20:13

with the United States voluntarily,

20:17

uh, allowing jurisdiction

20:20

over American military as

20:22

an example, in foreign lands.

20:24

Just think of the 911

20:27

consequences of our war in Afghanistan

20:29

and so forth. So, um.

20:33

If President Clinton

20:35

felt it was a good thing to have the

20:37

International Criminal Court and the United

20:39

States being subservient to it. For

20:41

one of the first things that President George

20:44

W Bush did was to revoke

20:47

any semblance of support for the United

20:49

States. And by the way, to this day, that

20:52

decision has not been retracted,

20:54

removed, revoked by any subsequent

20:56

president. So as of now,

20:59

the United States is not subject

21:01

to the jurisdiction of the ICC,

21:03

but the ICC believes

21:06

it has jurisdiction over every nation,

21:08

regardless of whether they voluntarily join

21:10

or not.

21:11

Now, I don't want to interrupt you, but I have a question as you're

21:13

going along. So you just talked about why

21:15

we should vote, because votes

21:17

have an impact on a myriad of things, including

21:20

who makes the decision to sign us on or

21:22

retract us from things like the International Criminal

21:24

Court. So the next time you think, well, my vote doesn't count.

21:27

I don't think we really begin to understand how powerful

21:29

that vote is. And the concentric circles of impact

21:31

that vote has. So if one president

21:34

says yes and another president says no, let's

21:36

say you have a president that says, yippee, I'm a globalist

21:38

and I don't believe in national sovereignty. And

21:40

we're going to sort of dissolve

21:42

philosophically, if not figuratively or literally,

21:45

the boundaries of the United States. They sign

21:47

on. Do we have within

21:49

our own Constitution the right to negate

21:51

that move, because it is a major threat

21:54

to the principles of the guidance of self-governance

21:56

in this country? Yeah, I.

21:57

Think we do. First of all, there's a lot of discussion.

21:59

There was a lot of discussion at the time as to

22:01

whether or not the ICC

22:04

charter was a treaty, because

22:06

if it's a treaty, then the president doesn't have the ability

22:09

to sign us on to it without consent

22:11

of the Senate. One of the powers of the United

22:13

States Senate that's very distinctive from the House

22:15

of Representatives, the two legislative

22:18

branches. The Senate has treaty

22:21

confirming power and

22:23

the House of Representatives doesn't. So that's

22:26

one of the legal niceties or,

22:28

you know, obscurities of this whole issue,

22:30

whether or not it was a treaty. Yes

22:32

or no. But here's here's the fact

22:35

we are ruled by a constitution,

22:37

not by a man. We're not ruled

22:39

by a president. We're ruled by our Constitution.

22:42

Remember, the whole purpose of the executive branch

22:44

is to execute the laws that Congress

22:47

passes. Congress, of course,

22:49

elected both the Senate and the House by

22:51

popular vote from the

22:53

American people. So,

22:55

uh, that's the system, the president

22:58

alone. I would argue Bill Clinton didn't

23:00

have the authority to singularly, unilaterally

23:03

sign us on. But if there was any shadow

23:05

of the doubt. Uh, George W

23:07

Bush made it clear that

23:10

that in fact, it had no jurisdiction.

23:12

So technically, that was the situation

23:14

then and still is now.

23:15

Thank you for that explanation. So let me just talk

23:17

about present day. So,

23:19

uh, if you don't call it a treaty, the way

23:21

our founders brilliantly thought this through is

23:23

that if you're going to sign on to a treaty, the people

23:25

have to speak. We do through the Senate.

23:28

You have to get ratification through the Senate

23:30

if you're going to sign on to an international treaty.

23:32

So what this current president

23:34

has done, for example, looking at the World Health

23:36

Organization, yet again, another

23:39

unelected hegemony group

23:41

that basically wants to tell the world what to do,

23:43

we, they say, will define what constitutes

23:46

a pandemic. We will determine how

23:48

you will handle your pandemic. So the idea of

23:50

local authorities or even state authorities

23:52

determining what we do with the next Covid bill goes out

23:55

the window suddenly, who does it?

23:57

Right. Well, who do they think they are?

23:59

So the question and it's a very hot topic

24:01

right now on Capitol Hill, is this administration

24:04

is saying, hey, it's not a treaty. So abracadabra

24:06

simply changed the word and you

24:08

don't trigger the process. Now,

24:10

I suppose you could try to do that. But if

24:13

if a sitting president decides to

24:15

change a word usurping authority

24:17

from the Senate and does what

24:19

he or she thinks is right in their own eyes,

24:21

do we have Constitution? Do we have protection?

24:23

Well, here's the protection. You

24:25

have to have members of Congress who

24:28

file a lawsuit on behalf

24:30

of their authority, suing the

24:32

executive branch in federal court,

24:35

saying, wait a minute, this is illegal.

24:37

This is unconstitutional, and then wind

24:39

it up the courts. But if you don't have sufficient members

24:42

of the Senate or the House willing to do that,

24:45

then what you have is complacency.

24:47

The law isn't self effective.

24:49

Yes it doesn't. It isn't the self,

24:51

uh, enforcing. You need people to

24:53

enforce it by bringing it into a court of law.

24:56

And that's where we come in. We need

24:58

to have people in Congress willing to do

25:00

that back after this.

25:06

There are dozens of talk shows that address politics,

25:09

culture and technology, but in the market is committed

25:11

to bringing biblical truths to every facet

25:13

of life. When you financially support in

25:15

the market as a partial partner, you're helping people

25:18

25:20

25:22

25:24

25:27

Janet 58, or go online to in

25:29

the market with Janet parshall.org.

25:33

Craig partials with me on today's edition of In

25:35

the Market with Janet Parshall, we're talking about this

25:37

unprecedented move by the International Criminal

25:39

Court, an arm of the United Nations,

25:42

threatening to go after Israel,

25:44

charging it with war crimes.

25:47

And if you go to the the website of the International

25:49

Criminal Court, again, an extension of the United

25:51

Nations unelected body. By the way,

25:54

the banner headline says trying

25:56

individuals for genocide, war

25:58

crimes, crimes against humanity

26:01

and aggression. So again,

26:03

within their own world, within their own

26:05

perspective, they get to determine when genocide

26:08

has been meted out and when it has

26:10

not. So I'm wondering, have they gone after China

26:12

for the Uighurs? Just asking for a friend.

26:15

I'm wondering after they're going after Nigeria

26:17

for the assault against Christians that are dying.

26:19

They're just, you know, so you can see it's a whole sort

26:22

of country buffet restaurant. They pick and choose what

26:24

countries they want to go after. And right now in their crosshairs

26:27

is Israel. And Craig, thank you for explaining

26:29

the process because I'm reminded

26:31

when you give us these history lessons how very

26:33

fragile our system is and why

26:36

it is imperative we not just sing. God

26:38

shed his grace on us, but that we plead

26:40

for his protection and his grace. Because,

26:42

as you say, these systems aren't self-activating.

26:44

These are men and women who are given

26:47

authority by way of the people to then

26:49

protect us vis a vis the protections afforded

26:51

us through the Constitution. So it's very fragile.

26:53

So talk specifically about this.

26:55

If they were to drag Israel to

26:57

the court. And first of all, it's a kangaroo court.

27:00

It's a it's kabuki theater. What would

27:02

it mean in the real world? Well, in.

27:03

The real world, and as a matter of fact, I was so

27:05

I was so concerned about the reality

27:08

of the problem with this whole idea of

27:10

a global court reigning

27:12

over every nation in the world. I,

27:14

I wound it into a novel called The

27:16

Accused to put flesh on

27:19

it, to show what would happen if an American

27:21

marine got arrested on

27:23

foreign land and then subjected

27:25

to a trial and conviction

27:27

and so forth, because some

27:30

other nations or some foreign

27:32

prosecutor decided, no, we don't like the way

27:34

you are participating in this American

27:36

military effort. So

27:40

the reason it's got triggered is because

27:43

the chief prosecutor for the International

27:45

Criminal Court has made it clear

27:47

he intends, over the next week

27:49

or two, to issue arrest

27:52

warrants, not against

27:54

Hamas leaders. And

27:57

Hamas, by the way, is a ruling

27:59

government unit down in Gaza?

28:02

Unfortunately, it's a it's

28:04

a government composed of terrorists,

28:06

but it it should

28:08

be the recipient. The

28:11

Hamas leadership should be the recipients

28:13

of arrest warrants, if any arrest warrants

28:15

based on humanitarian violations,

28:19

uh, were issued. Instead,

28:21

he's saying, yeah, Benjamin Netanyahu

28:23

and IDF leaders of

28:25

the Israeli military are

28:27

probably going to be subjected to these arrest warrants.

28:30

Now, Benjamin Netanyahu

28:32

was prime minister of Israel, says, well, we

28:34

don't care what you do. We are not going to

28:36

subjugate ourselves to this

28:38

internationally unlawful

28:41

activity of trying to haul us

28:43

into court. How can this actually,

28:46

uh, damage Israel? Well,

28:48

as long as Benjamin Netanyahu

28:51

stays within Israel, uh,

28:53

perhaps nothing. If he

28:55

were to travel to the United States

28:58

as an example, or he was to travel

29:00

to Canada to make a speech, uh,

29:03

or any nation that might be sympathetic

29:05

to these arrest warrants, he could be arrested.

29:08

Then you have his security

29:10

guards and, uh,

29:13

protective agency with him then

29:15

making a very difficult decision whether or

29:17

not they use force to protect

29:20

the prime minister of Israel from being

29:22

grabbed and taken over to

29:24

The Hague, uh, and

29:26

put in jail pending an international

29:28

trial. That's how serious this

29:31

can be, because one prosecutor,

29:33

a rogue prosecutor for what I

29:35

believe ultimately is an unconstitutional,

29:39

uh, assembly of Nations trying

29:41

to create an international court. I say unconstitutional

29:44

because international law

29:46

has recognized for years, way before

29:48

the ICC was created, that there

29:50

is such a thing as a, uh, international

29:52

standard of national

29:54

sovereignty. Meaning unless a nation

29:57

is what we call a failed state, that

29:59

is to say something like Afghanistan that has

30:01

lost all semblance of governance,

30:03

no legitimate court system, no

30:06

rule of law, and so forth, or

30:08

it becomes a rogue state where

30:10

a dictator takes over and says, I'm not going to follow

30:12

the law at all unless one of those

30:14

situations occurs. And Israel doesn't fit

30:16

that. As a matter of fact, Israel

30:19

is a a a preeminent,

30:21

law abiding nation in the sense that

30:23

they have a constitutional system. Judges

30:25

that disagree with the Prime Minister on occasion

30:28

and have the same kind of constitutional

30:30

approach, very close. To the one

30:32

we have here in the United States, one

30:35

of the few nations that has that kind

30:37

of high standard of civil liberties

30:39

and respect for the process of

30:42

law. So to

30:44

to charge the Prime Minister

30:46

of Israel and the IDF leadership

30:48

for the conduct of the war is outrageous.

30:51

And by the way, some international law scholars

30:53

are now coming out saying the same

30:55

thing. So it's not Craig partials

30:57

word. It's really those

30:59

who have studied the issue. And you may

31:02

agree or disagree with the conduct

31:04

of Israel's defense of

31:06

its borders against Hamas in the

31:08

execution of the details of its

31:10

defense. But it doesn't rise

31:13

to this level, by the way, one

31:15

of the one of the few opportunities

31:17

that the ICC has to

31:19

run roughshod over

31:21

a nation state is if it's one

31:23

of those failed states or rogue states.

31:26

Um, and just think of, uh,

31:28

for instance, Afghanistan or

31:31

think of, uh, uh, Iraq,

31:34

um, under the, the boot of

31:36

a dictator who slaughters and and

31:38

makes law, uh, you know,

31:40

to, to, uh, follow

31:43

his own ambitions politically and

31:45

really engages in genocide on

31:47

a regular basis. So

31:49

it's an illegitimate exercise,

31:52

particularly when it comes to legitimate

31:54

nation states like the United States,

31:56

like the UK, like the

31:58

EU, and certainly Israel.

32:00

Um, well, I'm just thinking

32:03

if this were to be played out and Israel

32:05

were to be found to be guilty, you

32:07

would ignite every bit of

32:09

hatred in all its surrounding nations against.

32:11

Well, it's an act. It would be unbelievable. It's an act of.

32:13

Really it's it's the ultimate act of anti-Semitism,

32:16

because Israel is

32:18

being subjected to a process

32:21

that has been relegated up to now,

32:24

uh, for jungle dictators.

32:28

Uh, and. Indisputable,

32:31

uh, leaders of mass genocide

32:34

where, no, there's

32:36

no common consensus that would not agree

32:39

that this person has violated international

32:41

standards of human rights. Israel

32:44

simply doesn't fit that. Anybody

32:46

who has studied Israel and the way they've conducted

32:48

this war, as well as its,

32:51

uh, system of laws realizes

32:53

it's inappropriate.

32:54

Well, you know, they've got a little bit of egg on their face.

32:56

Remember when South Africa went after Israel recently

32:58

and they did not succeed? So we'll just I mean,

33:01

this is nothing but hatred. This is absolutely

33:03

being fomented by. And you said it beautifully.

33:05

It is the ultimate act of anti-Semitism.

33:07

So now let me bring this home and let's talk about

33:09

these college protests. If you're counting, there's

33:11

33 and counting colleges

33:14

where these paid Marxists

33:17

are fomenting hatred against Israel.

33:19

And then they put on their little hijabs

33:22

and stand in front of the camera after

33:24

they've taken their free pizza, their free tent,

33:26

and their cash for being professional

33:28

protesters and saying, this is about

33:31

free speech, and I'm going to turn to a report. This one just

33:33

happens to be filed by ABC news, but it gives you a synopsis

33:36

of what's going on on these protests. Have a listen.

33:38

Hundreds of New York City police officers

33:40

in riot gear moving into Columbia

33:43

University, Swat teams rolling

33:45

in one by one. Police officers

33:47

seen filing in on an extended ramp

33:49

into the second floor of Columbia's Hamilton

33:52

Hall in the late night hours,

33:54

police forming a line around the perimeter,

33:56

clearing protesters blocking the entrance

33:59

once inside. Going floor

34:01

by floor, room by room.

34:03

NYPD using Flashbangs

34:06

at least 100 people arrested led

34:08

away, hands tied behind their backs

34:10

with zip ties and loaded onto

34:12

a police bus. The university president

34:15

allowing the NYPD to move in,

34:17

saying the group who broke into the building

34:19

includes students, but led by

34:21

individuals who are not affiliated

34:24

with the university, and that the administration

34:26

was left with no choice.

34:28

They're not here to promote peace

34:30

or unity or allow a

34:33

peaceful displaying of one's voice,

34:35

but they're here to create discord

34:39

and divisiveness.

34:44

Almost 24 hours earlier,

34:46

protesters marching from the encampment

34:48

to Hamilton Hall, smashing through

34:50

doors, throwing furniture, white

34:53

zip tying doors shut and barricading

34:55

themselves inside, putting up a banner

34:57

renaming the building Haines Hall

34:59

in honor of six year old Hend Rajab,

35:02

a Palestinian girl killed in the

35:04

war in Gaza earlier this year.

35:06

This morning, Columbia, sharing

35:08

these videos with us, showing classrooms

35:11

ransacked, the encampment

35:13

cleared. What were your thoughts

35:15

about those student.

35:16

Demonstrators that, uh, pitched

35:18

tents and set up that encampment,

35:20

uh, demanding that the university divest from

35:22

companies profiting from Israel? What are your thoughts on

35:24

that?

35:25

So the students believe

35:27

passionately, passionately in

35:29

this cause. Willing to break

35:31

all the rules and risk sanctions

35:33

to draw attention to the genocide

35:36

in Gaza. And. They

35:39

are willing to come out here even though

35:41

the university is. Punishing

35:43

them for for doing so.

35:45

Oh, where were these kids, by

35:47

the way, when Christians were being set on

35:49

fire in boxcars in

35:52

Nigeria? Where are these kids

35:54

when we know that the Chinese

35:56

are absolutely practicing genocide

35:59

against the Uighurs in the western part of that

36:01

country? So the pick and choose

36:03

is ridiculous. And more importantly, if you sat these kids down,

36:05

the ones that are not the paid

36:07

professionals, by the way, there's all kinds of stuff.

36:09

The X is just really sort of the new

36:11

newsroom right now. But everybody's

36:13

got a camera and people can be identified. And

36:15

so one of the women identified in New York

36:18

is a professional, um, firestarter,

36:20

for lack of a better word. She teaches people how to

36:22

protest. She's as left as left is left.

36:24

She probably makes Lenin look conservative. And

36:27

they're training these kids. The rest of them. Hey, I don't

36:29

have to take my final exam. I skipped the class. And if

36:31

you took one of those kids and sat him down and

36:33

asked to simply said, when did Israel

36:35

become a state? How long have Jews been in

36:37

the land? Uh, can you tell me what happened

36:40

in 1967? I mean, if you just

36:42

began to ask, they wouldn't know a thing.

36:44

It is the topic du jour, but it speaks

36:46

right to the spirit of rebellion that Marxism

36:49

feeds in their life. Now,

36:51

the question on the table, of course, and the delusion.

36:54

And by the way, what I like is that NYU

36:56

not only and I don't like it. I'm being

36:58

sarcastic when I say that. But not

37:00

only do they not stop the students,

37:02

but then you have faculty that join with

37:04

these students as well. And that building

37:07

Hamilton named after Alexander Hamilton,

37:09

tens of thousands of

37:11

dollars worth of damage. Who is

37:14

going to pay for that

37:16

speech? Action? What's

37:18

protected? What's not? We'll talk about this when

37:20

we get back. So

37:37

Craig and I are going to take this last segment of this first

37:39

hour of In the Market with Janet Parshall and focus

37:41

in now on the protests. We've talked about the International

37:43

Criminal Court, but we reported

37:45

last Friday that the news is out

37:47

that groups like the Rockefellers, Rockefeller

37:50

Brothers Fund and George Soros

37:52

are backdoor funding these organizations. These

37:54

are globalists. These are people who don't believe in

37:56

national sovereignty. These are people with Marxist

37:58

ideology. And literally they're paying

38:01

these kids to show up. And then the kids are being

38:03

taught by the professional protesters.

38:05

So the people that were part of the SDS

38:07

in the 60s are now the people who were training

38:10

these kids how to be radicals. So Saul Alinsky,

38:12

yay, score win for the home team. Apparently his

38:14

rules for radicals is alive and well

38:16

and still kicking. And this goes to the conversation I had

38:18

with Mike Gonzales not too long ago on on

38:21

his new book, Next Gen

38:23

Marxist, where he really walks through

38:25

in such a thorough fashion the

38:27

iterations of Marxism to where we

38:29

are today. And that's exactly what we're seeing.

38:31

Who'd have thought? But that's where we are, by the way,

38:33

these protests are not just on college campuses. They

38:35

had a protest in the offices at Google. And then

38:37

on Monday, about 100 kids walked out of a high school

38:39

in Austin, Texas. So when the authority

38:42

is in absentia, when those given the position

38:44

of leadership do not stop this in its tracks,

38:46

it grows like a virus.

38:48

And that's exactly what you're seeing all across

38:51

the country. So is this protected

38:53

speech. Leave it to the inimitable

38:56

Senator Kennedy from the state of

38:58

Louisiana in his slow,

39:00

very measured way of delivering

39:02

his thoughts, he nails this. Have a

39:04

listen.

39:05

We shouldn't paint with too broad a brush.

39:08

Some of our universities

39:10

have done a good job. I'll

39:13

mention three. Vanderbilt.

39:17

Two lane. And

39:20

the University of Florida. They

39:24

have done a good job in dealing

39:26

with this rule by the mob.

39:29

Because of their leadership.

39:32

The presidents of those three universities

39:35

are passionate advocates of free

39:37

speech. They

39:39

understand that the Constitution.

39:43

Uh, protects free speech.

39:46

Against government, but

39:48

it does not protect

39:50

disruptive behavior.

39:54

And they understand that the First

39:56

Amendment to the Constitution makes a

39:59

distinction between speech.

40:02

And behavior. And

40:05

it's not complicated. You

40:07

don't have to be. Honor

40:10

for Wendell Scalia to figure

40:12

that out, all you have to do is read

40:14

the document. And

40:16

so I want to thank them. I thank

40:18

the president of Columbia. Could learn

40:20

a lot from them.

40:23

So there you go. The distinction between speech

40:25

and behavior. And, Craig, I can't wait for you to respond

40:27

to this. But I was thinking, you know, in a world

40:29

now where you were using phrases like

40:31

my safe space and

40:34

your triggering me, and

40:36

you have to use my pronoun, this

40:38

is the same wacky, upside down world where

40:40

apparently it's all right to say Intifada.

40:42

Intifada. From the river to the sea,

40:45

death to America, death to Israel.

40:47

And those are okay words. But if you

40:49

dare call a he or she. Well,

40:51

if you're in Scotland or Canada or

40:53

some place else on the European continent, we're going

40:56

to imprison you. So you know,

40:58

the I remember Cal Thomas telling me

41:00

years ago and I thought it was very good. Take

41:02

this any way you want to. But he said, you

41:04

know the definition of a liberal. I said what he

41:06

said, making it up as you go along. And

41:09

I think he was absolutely right. There was such a

41:11

profound inconsistency here. So

41:13

these universities that are saying they're passionate,

41:16

they're just exercising their free speech rights,

41:18

doing tens of thousands of dollars worth

41:20

worth of damage, beating a student unconscious

41:22

on the campus of UCLA. I'm sorry,

41:25

this is more than the.

41:25

New York Police Department came out

41:27

with some figures. You know, the the

41:30

mainstream media has been arguing. Well,

41:32

show show us the numbers. I mean, you say that there are

41:34

professional agitators among these student protesters.

41:36

Well, how many are there? Proved to

41:38

me a percentage. And of course, when

41:40

they're going on in the chaos

41:43

and the complexity of those situations,

41:45

you can't give a number. But now the New

41:47

York Police Department has the number because they've made

41:49

arrests. Out of the 300 arrests they made,

41:51

more than half, they said,

41:54

had no affiliation with Columbia

41:56

University. Moreover,

41:58

we now have evidence that members

42:01

of faculty of Columbia have been

42:03

helping to organize this

42:05

chaos that is really ruining the

42:07

reputation of Columbia University.

42:09

Um, and again, the

42:12

origin of this, to me is

42:15

so telling. Because

42:17

it really began as a seed, a

42:19

rotten seed, in December

42:21

of last year, when

42:23

a handful of protesters

42:26

agitators who covered

42:28

up their faces with masks

42:31

and refused to be identified, took over

42:34

part of a building and then used

42:36

it as an opportunity to praise Hamas

42:39

and the slaughter of Israelis on October

42:41

7th as an act of, quote, creativity

42:44

and determination by

42:46

the Palestinian people. That was

42:48

the first ignition

42:51

of what we're seeing now. So

42:54

if you're praising Hamas for

42:56

creativity and determination by slaughtering

42:58

civilians under

43:01

no sane view

43:03

of human rights law, can that

43:05

be condoned, let alone celebrated?

43:08

Those are the people who began these

43:10

riots.

43:11

Mom.

43:11

Um, so it doesn't look like it's going

43:13

to stop anytime soon. And I understand

43:15

that the money keeps flowing. The

43:17

faculty joins in. The police

43:19

don't show up because they're directed by

43:21

those in authority at these universities not

43:24

to show up. This this could

43:26

end very poorly, Craig.

43:28

It's not just protest and vandalism, but

43:30

somebody could be seriously hurt. You know, hatred

43:33

knows no boundaries. It just keeps growing and

43:35

growing and growing.

43:36

Look, this is a great. And

43:38

I'm going to spin this on a positive

43:40

note. This is a great opportunity

43:43

for us to have some public and private

43:45

debates among ourselves within the Church

43:47

of Followers of Christ and in the public venue.

43:50

Free speech versus

43:52

intentional destruction of property

43:54

and the threatening of lives of others.

43:57

Let's have a constitutional debate. Let's

43:59

have, more importantly, have a

44:01

debate about the purpose of education

44:03

and what our university should and should

44:05

not be doing in terms of permitting

44:07

this in our institutions of learning.

44:10

Because if we do not teach and

44:12

emulate the constitutional values

44:14

that our founders fought for and died for,

44:17

then we are headed in deep trouble.

44:19

Yeah, absolutely.

44:20

Craig, I don't see this ending anytime

44:23

soon. This is going to be dragged out in front of the ICC.

44:25

Andrew Netanyahu is laser focused

44:28

on the fact that the hostages need to be

44:30

returned.

44:30

Using law.

44:31

For lawlessness.

44:32

Exactly right. Hamas must be completely

44:35

and totally eradicated, not partially, completely.

44:37

And again, these protests are just building

44:39

and building and building. By the way, a great way to get out of your

44:41

final exam. So we're going to be watching this

44:43

one very carefully. We do this for another

44:46

hour. Hope you can stick around. Listen online
