On Wednesday, April 19, 2023, I had the privilege to represent Legal Insurrection and the Equal Protection Project (equalprotect.org) on the “Lee Elci – The Voice of Freedom” show based on 94.9 WJJF Fox News Now, out of Ledyard, Connecticut. Lee’s show is also affiliated with the Wayne Allyn Root show on the USA Radio network.
LISTEN HERE:
I discussed three topics with Lee, which we have reported on extensively:
Lee Elci was shocked at the blatant racial discrimination being practiced around the country, decried the fact that the current state of our military’s weapons stockpiles is so shockingly bad, and agreed that doctors advocating for treating kids with dangerous transgender drugs and withholding information from parents is a definite problem both in the military and in the civilian world. The last topic was particularly important to discuss as the U.S. Navy has a huge presence in Lee Elci’s listening area due to the U.S. Navy Submarine Base in Groton, Connecticut being located nearby.
Nault: The Constitution’s 14th Amendment says no state shall deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. The Civil Rights Act said that no person can be discriminated against by any entity that receives any federal funding. And for decades, that hasn’t been an issue since Brown versus Board of Education back in the fifties, schools were desegregated, nobody would dare discriminate. But these days we’re finding that that is happening more and more now.
For instance, just to give you three examples real quick, Providence School District in Providence, Rhode Island has a program, great program for new teachers. You get hired on as a teacher in the Providence Public School District. They will pay your student loans off whatever student loans you’ve incurred. They’ll pay ’em off. All right. There’s only one catch. You can’t be white.
Lee Elci: Um, is that real?
Nault: That is real. And we have filed a complaint with the [U.S. Department of Education, Civil Rights Office], and they actually referred our complaint to the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, who is now reviewing our complaint.
Lee Elci: That’s how it’s written?
Nault: That’s how it’s written. And it’s all over their website and they are very proud of this program.
Lee Elci: Wow.
Nault: And so the EEOC will either shut the program down or they’ll tell us, ‘Hey, you know, you may have a case here. We’re too busy. You handle it.’ In which case we will, the Equal Protection Project will, take action. And our motto is investigate, educate, and litigate. And so we’ll do whatever it takes to shut this down because it’s blatantly unconstitutional, we think. And, we’ll see if a court agrees with us, which we think they will.
Another example. Albany Public Library, which is an entity of the city of Albany, which last year got 81 million [dollars] in federal funding. They have an intern program; every year they hire two interns under this special library intern program [for] people [who] have just graduated from graduate library programs around the country. Open to everybody unless you’re white. So we have just sent them a letter, a cease and desist letter, basically explaining to them why this is improper…
Lee Elci: Is that our, I mean, I, again, I keep going back to this, but I’m trying to sort of grasp it in the big picture, because I know listeners out there are, are probably furious, black and white listeners I would think are furious because they should be, is the terminology written where don’t come and be part of this if you’re white?
Nault: No, no. So in both instances, the facilities are open to everybody. The public schools are open to everybody, obviously. It’s just you’re seeing these specific programs crop up that are seemingly blatantly discriminatory. And so that’s what we’re investigating.
And then there’s another one in Missouri of all places. Missouri State University has a business school and as part of their business school, they do small business accelerator programs. So if you have a small business, you start a website or whatever, you wanna go in, they can do marketing for you. They’ll show you how to build your website, do all this kind of stuff. You just can’t be white. And so we’ve sent a letter to the Missouri Attorney General and hopefully he will take action on that.
And the other thing that we say is the remedy for racism is never more racism.
Lee Elci: Of course.
Nault: And so we are gonna look into that. And I should make one final point. We would be happy [to] and will fight any kind of racism. It is not, you know, we’re not only doing this for one group. If we find [discrimination] against anyone, anywhere, anytime, in the United States of America, we’ll take action.
Lee Elci: Are you still finding that we have, you know, I field calls on this show all the time about how there’s racism still out there. And it would be ignorant to think that there aren’t people out there who are racist still to this day. But I, I believe I’ve always believed this, that as every day passes racism is slowly being eliminated, the culture is changing dramatically for the better. Do you run into a lot of racism challenges across the country right now with your group?
Nault: Well, as I mentioned, those three examples I think are clearly there. And we’re afraid that they’re just the tip of the iceberg.
Lee Elci: But even flip it around, I mean, most people think when they think of racism, they think, alright, someone’s discriminatory against the black person or an Asian person, or, you know, Hispanic. Are you running into that still out there?
Nault: Well, there’s actually a United States Supreme Court case that’s pending right now against Harvard University and the University of North Carolina where the big fight is over whether they can use race for admissions. And the evidence, I was just looking at this earlier this week, the evidence seems to be pretty compelling that Harvard seems to be penalizing Asian Americans who were applying to Harvard.
Lee Elci: Yeah. Too smart, I guess. What website do you wanna drive folks to learn about the racism aspect?
Nault: They go to equalprotect.org
Nault: One of the things that I’ve been looking into pretty extensively is the aid that we’ve given to Ukraine over the last year. And just to look at the raw numbers. We’ve given over $46 billion in military aid to Ukraine so far over; $76 billion total with humanitarian aid and financial assistance.
We’ve given Ukraine over 1.5 million rounds of 155-millimeter howitzer ammunition. We’ve given them over 1600 Stinger anti-air missiles representing, oh by the way, over one third of our active inventory of Stinger missiles. We’ve given them over 8,500 Javelin anti-tank missiles, which also represents over one third of our active frontline inventory of Javelin anti-tank missiles, over 5,200 Excalibur precision anti-tank missiles.
And here’s the kicker: to replace those Stinger missiles in our inventory, it’s gonna take over 13 years to replace that; over seven years for the Excalibur missile; over five years for the Javelin missile; and three to four years for the howitzer rounds.
And you know, this isn’t just me talking about this. I mean, independent, very smart military analysts, and I quote these in the two articles that I wrote on legalinsurrection.com, have called this quote, insufficient, you know, our munition stockpiles quote, precarious quote, dangerous. And even two Biden administration officials, one called it uncomfortably low. And the other one said that it’s not a critical issue for us right now because we’re not in a shooting war. But if we were, it would be a critical issue on day one.
Lee Elci: Amazing.
Nault: I mean, it seems to me that we’re kind of putting ourselves at risk. And I’m no lover of Vladimir Putin, believe me. I’m not sure that there’s any justification for him going into Ukraine the way he has. But, you know, we have to kind of balance what we’re doing with our own needs.
And here’s the key. If you look at some of the quotes from General Milley, who is the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and some of the other Biden administration officials, he’s quoted as saying, we will do quote, whatever it takes, we will be there for as long as they need us to be. And I’m thinking to myself, well, what if this war lasts another five years? What if it lasts who knows how long? 10 years? What are we gonna have left?
And when you think about this, one of the issues that’s come up is the whole Taiwan defense issue that’s been in the news a lot lately. Taiwan itself has orders that they’re ready, willing, and able to pay for to U.S. defense contractors for $19 billion worth of weapons to defend themselves against the China invasion that they can’t get because our defense contractors are so strapped with all the weapons they’re trying to make for us to replenish our stockpiles for Ukraine.
And the other thing is, there’s a lot of strategy going on, you know, how would Taiwan defend itself? Blah, blah, blah. And, we’ve pledged to help them do that somehow. Well, how are we gonna do that? Well, there’s this thing called the, I hadn’t heard of it until I started digging into this, called the quote, porcupine strategy. We’re not gonna send over armored divisions and we’re not gonna send over, you know, a million troops. We’re gonna give them missiles. And, and these missiles are gonna be like a porcupine. And if China tries to invade, the anti-air missiles are gonna take out all their aircraft; the anti-ship missiles are gonna take out their ships; the anti-tank missiles are gonna take out any tanks they land. Well, if we give ’em all to Ukraine, the porcupine is gonna be short a few quills. So maybe that’s not the best strategy.
Lee Elci: You’re a smart guy. You’re a military guy. If I’m looking at this from 30,000 feet up and I’m thinking to myself, okay, we have elected leaders, we have administrations, we actually have military personnel [who are] supposed to be smart. So, either they’re ignorant to this or they are purposely manipulating the system to bring about a downfall of the United States of America. Your thoughts?
Nault: Yeah. I mean, I think some of them are well-intentioned, that you know, they want to help somebody that’s been invaded and I’m totally good with that. You know, we’ve provided intelligence assistance around the globe to countries that need it [and helped] train their troops. In fact, I’m pretty sure we’ve done that in Ukraine as well. But I can’t speak to the Biden administration people who are pulling the strings’ motivations. I don’t know. They certainly aren’t squawking about what, why they’re doing it.
But one of the other points I wanted to bring up was think about what we could do in this country with $76 billion. I mean, you think about the veteran homeless problem. And, you know, the, the drug problem and all of the other things we could fix with that money. And you gotta wonder are we doing the right thing?
Lee Elci: Exactly. Nobody would mortgage their own future or their own security to help out someone else. Like literally mortgage your own [future], depleting your resources to the point where you can’t defend yourself. No sane person would do that.
Nault: Four military doctors associated with the Air Force, at Travis Air Force Base, and one at Walter Reed, published an article in the American Journal of Public Health. And they said that military people who have children, who obviously are seen by military doctors, if those children have any gender dysmorphia issues, in other words, they are confused about their gender, or they’re of one gender, but they think maybe they’re of another gender, that military doctors should immediately start transgender treatment, puberty blockers and other drugs and other things to help these kids change their gender. And they went so far as to say that any military professional who would, quote, pause that kind of treatment and kind of take a step back and, you know, help the child figure out if they’re really serious about that or not, that’s unethical.
And I’m reading this article and I’m thinking to myself, geez, I used to be a military parent for, you know 18 years until my kid went to college. And my daughter was delivered by army doctors, and I’m kind of getting scared by this article.
And then I found this video online as I was digging into this more of a navy training [class] that occurred in Bahrain, which is the Navy headquarters in the Middle East. And there’s this navy health professional lady who gets on stage and she tells the assembled Navy people that they no longer have access to their child’s medical record online once their child reaches 12 years old, that the policy’s been that way for at least six years, and if their child comes into the Navy Clinic in Bahrain and tells the people there that they have mental health issues or they have gender issues, that the Navy Hospital there is not gonna tell the parents.
And there’s a guy in the video who pipes up and he says, “wait, when did this start? I didn’t know this.” And he said that he was furious, and I would be too if I was him. And she claimed that that was “Big Navy” policy. I don’t know if that’s true. I don’t know what the policy is here at the sub base in Groton [Connecticut]. But what I would say is that if you’re a parent, even if you’re a military parent, you need to be watching your military or civilian doctors that treat your kids like a hawk. And you need to talk to them and find out what they’re gonna disclose to you that your kid tells them. And what they won’t, if anything.
And I’ll tell you this, if the Navy policy, when me and my wife were raising our daughter, was that she could go into the clinic or the Navy Hospital and they weren’t gonna tell me what problems she had, or, dovetailing this back to these four military doctors who published this in this journal, if they were gonna start treating her without telling me, right? I would, immediately, I would have resigned my officer’s commission that day if I found out that that was happening. So people need to dig into this. Figure out what the policy is, and then do what they think is right for their kids.
Lee Elci: Jim Nault United States submarine captain retired. You know, you retired prior to the submarine force going co-ed. But let’s take it a step further. How would it go if you were the captain of a boat and you had to deal with someone and their gender dysphoria and them being a transgender on board?
Nault: I have no idea.
Lee Elci: Well, that’s an honest answer, and that’s all we can ask for. We gotta go. James Nault, retired United States Navy Captain. Thank you, sir. I appreciate it.
