Speaker 1: Well, come in is verdict with Center, Ted Cruz, Ben
Speaker 1: Ferguson with you and Center. We finally got some action
Speaker 1: in the Senate on the Big Beautiful Bill. Catch us
Speaker 1: up to date.
Speaker 2: Well, we do. Late Saturday night there was a major
Speaker 2: vote to move forward the One Big Beautiful Bill. The
Speaker 2: vote passed. The vote was fifty one to forty nine.
Speaker 2: All Republicans except two voted to move it forward. Now Sunday,
Speaker 2: You and I are recording this on Sunday, so we
Speaker 2: don't know exactly what has happened yet, except that Monday
Speaker 2: is going to be an all day vote rama unlimited amendments.
Speaker 2: The Democrats are going to try to make Republicans cast
Speaker 2: all sorts of votes on all sorts of politically terrible amendments.
Speaker 2: Here's my prediction. We will get this done and by
Speaker 2: the end of the day Monday, the One Big Beautiful
Speaker 2: Bill will pass the United States Senate. It will have major,
Speaker 2: major victories for the American people, major victories for President
Speaker 2: Trump's agenda. We're going to break down what is likely
Speaker 2: to be in it, and we're also going to talk
Speaker 2: about three major Supreme Court decisions that came down on Friday.
Speaker 2: Big victories for conservatives reasons to celebrate. We're going to
Speaker 2: lay out the details of all three.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is going to be very big, and we'll
Speaker 1: talk about the biggest things that happened, as you mentioned
Speaker 1: with the Supreme Court, and also what is in the
Speaker 1: big beautiful bill. In just a moment, I want to
Speaker 1: talk to you real quick about a really awesome company.
Speaker 1: Two of my good friends started this, Buck Sexton and
Speaker 1: Clay Travis because they were sick and tired of just
Speaker 1: getting an average cup of coffee. Look good coffee, it's
Speaker 1: easy to find, but great tasting coffee is so much
Speaker 1: harder to discover. And they sent me some Crockett coffee
Speaker 1: and I was like, all right, I'm going to try it.
Speaker 1: It's my friend's company. How good is it? Let me
Speaker 1: just tell you it was special. Crocket Coffee is roasted

Speaker 1: percent off your first order. That's Crocketcoffee dot Com. Promo
Speaker 1: code Ben, and you'll get twenty percent off and you'll
Speaker 1: love it all right. So the big beautiful bill, it's
Speaker 1: becoming real. It's in the Senate. What excites you the
Speaker 1: most about what's in this bill? Center that people need
Speaker 1: to know about.
Speaker 2: Well, this bill is the principal vehicle to advance President
Speaker 2: Trump's agenda, the mandate we had coming out of the election. Now,
Speaker 2: let me tell you procedurally where we are. Saturday night,
Speaker 2: at seven thirty, the Senate took it up. We needed
Speaker 2: at least fifty votes to move forward. There was a
Speaker 2: lot of drama. It was not clear that we were
Speaker 2: going to have fifty votes at the end of the day,
Speaker 2: and it was about midnight on Saturday night. We ended
Speaker 2: up with fifty one votes. Two Republicans voted no, Rand
Speaker 2: Paul voted no, and Tom Tillis voted no. Rand was
Speaker 2: always going to vote no. Rand has said from the
Speaker 2: beginning he's going to vote no against anything in this bill.
Speaker 2: It's frustrat rating Rand as a friend, but his vote
Speaker 2: is hard no, no matter what. So he's off the table.
Speaker 2: So we basically have fifty two Republicans to work with
Speaker 2: Tom Tillis. Tom Tillis has been very vocal that he's
Speaker 2: concerned about Medicaid and he wants fewer cuts and Medicaid spending.
Speaker 2: I don't agree with Tom on this, but he certainly
Speaker 2: has a right to his view. Tom's good man. That
Speaker 2: debate will be ongoing. What will happen next? So the
Speaker 2: Democrats objected. Normally, there's a pretty standard motion in the
Speaker 2: Senate where you ask unanimous consent to waive the reading
Speaker 2: of the bill. Well, the Democrats objected to that. So
Speaker 2: what is happening is a poor clerk of the Court
Speaker 2: or a clerk of the Senate rather has to sit
Speaker 2: there and read a thousand page bill. And so all
Speaker 2: night Saturday night, at one am, two am, three am,
Speaker 2: four am, five am, a clerk of the Court is
Speaker 2: reading page after page of a thousand page bill. They're
Speaker 2: going to read the entirety of the bill. That'll take
Speaker 2: ten to twelve hours. We will then shortly thereafter. So
Speaker 2: the Democrats then have ten hours of debate where they're
Speaker 2: all going to stand up and then the preview that
Speaker 2: they're going to say on Sundays, they're going to say
Speaker 2: Republicans are horrible. They're going to say Republicans are throwing
Speaker 2: Grinny off the cliff. They're going to say Republicans hate poor, kids,
Speaker 2: hate people with disabilities, hate women, children, men, old people,
Speaker 2: young people, puppies, kittens, everyone and everything. They're going to
Speaker 2: say that. They're going to attack this bill like crazy.
Speaker 2: But then their ten hours are going to be up
Speaker 2: and the Democrats can't stop it. What happens next, and
Speaker 2: this will happen Sunday evening, It'll extend all night Sunday,
Speaker 2: It'll extend into Monday morning. This podcast will come out.
Speaker 2: My prediction is this podcast will come out and we'll
Speaker 2: still be voting. Will end voting sometime between midnight one, two, three,
Speaker 2: four am, five am. It could be as late as seven, eight, nine,
Speaker 2: ten am on Monday, It depends how long the Democrats delay.
Speaker 2: One of the weird things about budget reconciliation, the entire
Speaker 2: process proceeds under the Budget Act in nineteen seventy four.
Speaker 2: The reason reconciliation matters, there's a lot of procedural gobbledygook
Speaker 2: that doesn't matter, but the reason it matters, it's the
Speaker 2: principal exception to the Senate filibuster. The ordinary rules in
Speaker 2: the Senate are that you need sixty votes to proceed
Speaker 2: on legislation. We don't have sixty Republicans. We only have
Speaker 2: fifty three. So to get sixty votes you need seven Democrats.
Speaker 2: Seven Democrats are not going to agree to do anything
Speaker 2: positive for America right now, which means budget reconciliation is
Speaker 2: the main way to get around that. Under the rules
Speaker 2: of budget reconciliation, the Democrats can offer unlimited amendments. So
Speaker 2: they're going to offer every horrible amendment they can. And
Speaker 2: they're literally sitting there drafting, Okay, what amendment can we
Speaker 2: craft that makes Republicans take a terrible vote, makes Republicans
Speaker 2: take a vote that then will run TV ads and
Speaker 2: attack them and try to beat them in November. That'll
Speaker 2: happen all night.
Speaker 1: It'll happen till that gamesmanship.
Speaker 2: And by the way, both sides do this. So when
Speaker 2: the Democrats are in control, they use budget reconciliation. They
Speaker 2: used it multiple times. They spent trillions of dollars through
Speaker 2: budget reconciliation. The so called Inflation Reduction Act was passed
Speaker 2: through budget reconciliation. And so look, we teed up all
Speaker 2: sorts of terrible votes, which frankly, we ran campaign ads
Speaker 2: against them and beat them in November on that, and
Speaker 2: so there is value in forcing your opponents to vote
Speaker 2: on things they don't want to vote for, particularly when
Speaker 2: your opponents are embracing on popular positions. In this case,
Speaker 2: they'll try to tee up bad amendments and hopefully Republicans
Speaker 2: will rally together and reject those amendments. I expect that
Speaker 2: all one hundred senators, and by the way, the median
Speaker 2: age is about one hundred and six, so that that
Speaker 2: says something. At the end of the day, I believe
Speaker 2: we'll get this done. We'll see I mean, look, this
Speaker 2: podcast will come out and when we'll find out if
Speaker 2: my prediction is right or wrong. But I think we'll
Speaker 2: get it done. And there's a lot of good elements
Speaker 2: in this bill. This bill number one avoids a four
Speaker 2: trillion dollar tax increase. If we did nothing at the
Speaker 2: end of this year, there would be an automatic four
Speaker 2: trillion dollar tax increase. The entire twenty seventeen Trump tax
Speaker 2: cuts would expire, and so a huge purpose of this
Speaker 2: bill is to avoid that to keep taxes low. This
Speaker 2: bill also embodies and enacts many of the key tax
Speaker 2: cut promises President Trump made. So, for example, this bill
Speaker 2: includes no taxes on tips, that's my legislation. I wrote
Speaker 2: that legislation was President Trump's promise, but I wrote the
Speaker 2: bill that is in this bill, we're going to get
Speaker 2: it passed. It also includes no taxes on Social Security
Speaker 2: and no taxes on overtime. Both of those are huge
Speaker 2: working class, blue collar victories. President Trump campaigned on them,
Speaker 2: and I think we're going to deliver them. Beyond that,
Speaker 2: this bill is also the vehicle to secure the border.
Speaker 2: There's one hundred and fifty billion dollars in funding to
Speaker 2: secure the border, to build the wall, to hire more
Speaker 2: border patrol agents, hire more ICE agents, to deploy more
Speaker 2: technology at the border. That is a big deal. On
Speaker 2: top of that, there's another one hundred and fifty billion
Speaker 2: dollars to rebuild the military, to invest in defeating China,
Speaker 2: defeating our adversaries, to invest in hypersonics, to invest in
Speaker 2: in the next generation of military defense. Historically, the Democrats
Speaker 2: keep defense hostage. So the battle that you have in
Speaker 2: Washington classically is between guns and butter. Where Republicans care
Speaker 2: about guns, we care about actually defending the nation, supporting
Speaker 2: our military. The Democrats by and large don't care about that,
Speaker 2: and they try to hold defense spending hostage to push
Speaker 2: for more domestic spending, more welfare. They are the party
Speaker 2: of welfare. They are the party of big spending. We're
Speaker 2: making a major investment in the military precisely because the
Speaker 2: Democrats can't hold that hostage. And then there are a
Speaker 2: ton of other priorities, including three huge priorities of mine
Speaker 2: legislation that I introduce that are in this bill. Number one,
Speaker 2: auctioning off eight hundred megahertz of spectrum. Why does that matter?
Speaker 2: What does that mean? Auctioning off spectrum? Look, electromagnetic spectrum
Speaker 2: is how all of our electronic devices communicate. It's how
Speaker 2: Wi Fi operates, it's how you get your cell phone operates,
Speaker 2: it's how you get streaming. And sixty percent of the
Speaker 2: most valuable spectrum is controlled by the federal government. I
Speaker 2: wrote the provision in this bill that mandates the federal
Speaker 2: government sell a significant chunk of that spectrum to the
Speaker 2: private sector. That's going to do a couple of things. Man.
Speaker 2: Number One, it's going to produce I believe over one
Speaker 2: hundred billion dollars in real revenue to the tax payer.
Speaker 2: Money that will pay down the deficit, pay down the debt.
Speaker 2: So that's real revenue of the federal government. But number two,
Speaker 2: even more importantly, it will unleash billions of dollars of
Speaker 2: private sector investment and create hundreds of thousands of jobs
Speaker 2: because America needs to win the race for six G,
Speaker 2: which is the next generation of telecom, and beat China.
Speaker 2: That is in this bill. And then there are two
Speaker 2: other provisions we've talked about, both of which I've authored.
Speaker 2: Number one is school choice, and this bill has the
Speaker 2: most significant federal school choice provision ever written in the law.
Speaker 2: I wrote it. As we speak now, I'm battling with
Speaker 2: the Senate parliamentarian to keep that in the bill. I
Speaker 2: believe we will keep that in the bill. And that investment.
Speaker 2: I think school choice is the civil rights issue of
Speaker 2: the twenty first century. And finally, there are the invest
Speaker 2: America Accounts, the Trump accounts, where this bill will create
Speaker 2: a private investment account for every child in America, will
Speaker 2: seed it with one thousand dollars, will allow family and
Speaker 2: employers and parents to contribute five thousand dollars a year
Speaker 2: in a tax advantage fund. That fund will be invested
Speaker 2: in the S and P. Five hundred. It will grow
Speaker 2: with compound growth, and it will make a whole new
Speaker 2: generation of capitalists. I actually think this provision. It's a
Speaker 2: very small part of the bill. I think ten twenty
Speaker 2: thirty years from now, it will be the single most
Speaker 2: impactful part of the bill because it will we will
Speaker 2: have a whole generation of kids who have built up
Speaker 2: savings and investment in the market. They will be owners
Speaker 2: of the major employers in America that's in the bill.
Speaker 2: I'm really excited about it.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be, as you said, one of the core
Speaker 1: things I think for Donald Trump. In a victory for
Speaker 1: him and for the American people, how significant do you
Speaker 1: think the boost could be just to the rest of
Speaker 1: the agenda of putting America First a mag agenda because
Speaker 1: of this big victory I say early on his administration. Yes,
Speaker 1: we're well past one hundred days. It takes time to
Speaker 1: get these things done, but this could also be momentum
Speaker 1: building for other agenda items. Am I wrong?
Speaker 2: You're not wrong, And listen, I expect we're going to
Speaker 2: take up other reconciliation bills over the next year and
Speaker 2: a half. Why because reconciliation is the biggest exception to
Speaker 2: the filibuster. So it's the way we can legislate and
Speaker 2: get victories. But this bill has massive victories in it. Now.
Speaker 2: Some conservatives, including me, have argued we should cut spending more.
Speaker 2: I agree with that. I have leaned in hard on
Speaker 2: cut spending, cut spending. I've made that case to my colleagues.
Speaker 2: I wish we were cutting spending more. But at the
Speaker 2: end of the day, we are reducing spending some we
Speaker 2: need to do more, and we are cutting taxes in
Speaker 2: a profound way, and we are winning major victories for
Speaker 2: President Trump's agenda. There's a reason President Trump is all
Speaker 2: in behind this bill, and so I think we're gonna
Speaker 2: get it done. I don't know if it'll be signed
Speaker 2: in a law by July fourth, but I think if
Speaker 2: the Senate gets it done on Monday, there's a real
Speaker 2: chance the House will come back and just pass the bill,
Speaker 2: and we could see on the fourth of July President
Speaker 2: Trump signing this into law.
Speaker 1: I want to move to the other big story as well,
Speaker 1: and this one deals with the Supreme Court. The Supreme
Speaker 1: Court's term has come to an end, and there was
Speaker 1: a major not just win, but wins for President Trump
Speaker 1: and also the rule of law. I love talking Supreme
Speaker 1: Court with you and I mean, this is a compliment.
Speaker 1: You get to geek out on it because you clirk there.
Speaker 1: Take us into what just happened and how significant were
Speaker 1: some of these major decisions.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, there are a few things more wonderful
Speaker 2: than an old miss varsity tennis player calling me a geek.
Speaker 2: But you know, the truth hurts, and so I will
Speaker 2: happily do that. So there were three major decisions from
Speaker 2: the Supreme Court came down the end of last week.
Speaker 2: All three were victories. The most most important was a
Speaker 2: decision on President Trump's Birthright Citizenship Executive Order, and the
Speaker 2: punchline is the Court dramatically reigned in the ability of
Speaker 2: district courts to issue nationwide injunctions, universal injunctions. We're going
Speaker 2: to break all that down momentarily. There was also a
Speaker 2: big victory that held that the parents of public school
Speaker 2: children can opt out of LGBT curriculum. It's a big
Speaker 2: win for religious liberty, big win for parental rights. And finally,
Speaker 2: one other decision upheld a Texas law, so Texas pastor
Speaker 2: law requiring age verification for porn sites that was challenged
Speaker 2: as unconstitutional in the Supreme Court upheld that six' three as.
Speaker 2: Well so three big victories really, important all.
Speaker 1: Right so let's start with universal injunctions and The trump
Speaker 1: The cossack. Case this is, also by the, way something
Speaker 1: that you you share the subcommittee hearing on that very
Speaker 1: issue earlier this. Month so explain why this is such
Speaker 1: an important issue for everyone.
Speaker 2: Listening, well this was a case Challenging President trump's executive
Speaker 2: order on birthright. Citizenship birthright citizenship is the law that
Speaker 2: says that a baby born In america is A us,
Speaker 2: citizen even if that baby's parents are, illegal even if
Speaker 2: they came illegally precisely to have that baby In. America,
Speaker 2: nonetheless that baby is A us. Citizen as a policy,
Speaker 2: MATTER i think that is a very foolish. Policy it
Speaker 2: is a policy that incentivizes illegal. Immigration you see, PEOPLE
Speaker 2: i spend a lot of time at the southern. BORDER
Speaker 2: i go go out on midnight patrols with the border patrol.
Speaker 2: Agents we see everyday pregnant women coming across the, border,
Speaker 2: illegally coming, across being brought in by human traffickers with
Speaker 2: the express purpose of coming here to have their baby In.
Speaker 2: America because that baby then becomes an anchor, baby that
Speaker 2: baby comes A us. Citizen that doesn't make any. Sense
Speaker 2: and by the, way most of the other countries On
Speaker 2: earth don't have that. Policy if you sneak into another country,
Speaker 2: illegally most other countries don't make them a citizen of that.
Speaker 2: Country it is an accident Of american history that our
Speaker 2: law has done, that and so for more than a
Speaker 2: DECADE i have advocating for ending birthright. Citizenship, now ben
Speaker 2: there is an open legal debate about how you can
Speaker 2: end birthright. Citizenship there are some legal scholars who argue
Speaker 2: it can only be done through a constitutional. Amendment and
Speaker 2: the reason is part of the predicate for birthright citizenship
Speaker 2: is the language of The Fourteenth amendment that talks about
Speaker 2: granting citizenship to people born In. America, now there's a
Speaker 2: phrase in The Fourteenth amendment which is subject to the jurisdiction,
Speaker 2: thereof and legal scholars argue back and. Forth some say
Speaker 2: you can only change birthright citizenship through a constitutional. Amendment
Speaker 2: that's the, case we should have an amendment because it's
Speaker 2: a policy that is. Foolish others Say congress can pass
Speaker 2: legislation to end birthright citizenship because someone who comes here
Speaker 2: illegally is not subject to the jurisdiction thereof is not
Speaker 2: subject To american, jurisdiction but rather came here. Illegally i've
Speaker 2: introduced legislation to end birthright citizenship through. Legislation What President
Speaker 2: trump has done is he's tried to do it a third,
Speaker 2: way which is through an executive. Order that's going to
Speaker 2: be a harder hurdle to get to get, through but
Speaker 2: he's trying to do, it and on the policy, grounds
Speaker 2: he is exactly. Right so what happened, is in this,
Speaker 2: case there was a lawsuit Challenging President trump's executive order
Speaker 2: purporting to eliminate birthright, citizenship and the district judge issued
Speaker 2: a nationwide, injunction a so called universal. Injunction so, ordinarily
Speaker 2: courts have jurisdiction have authority over the parties in front of.
Speaker 2: Them so if you have two parties in a car
Speaker 2: wreck and they crash into each other and one party
Speaker 2: sues the, other the court has jurisdiction over those two
Speaker 2: parties to, Say, okay you're at, fault you pay for
Speaker 2: the repairs and the medical bills of the person. Injured
Speaker 2: that is called under The Constitution article three of The.
Speaker 2: Constitution courts are given jurisdiction over cases and, controversies so
Speaker 2: actual disputes between real. People what the district judge did
Speaker 2: in this case is issued an injunction Prohibiting Donald trump
Speaker 2: and prohibiting the entire federal government from enforcing The Birthright
Speaker 2: Citizenship Executive order against, anybody not just against the parties
Speaker 2: in front of the, court but three hundred and thirty
Speaker 2: million people in this. Country the court, said you cannot
Speaker 2: enforce this against. Anybody it is a universal. Injunction that
Speaker 2: is something that for the first one hundred plus years
Speaker 2: of our country never. Occurred universal injunctions began occurring more,
Speaker 2: frequently but not that much more. Frequently there have been
Speaker 2: over forty universal injunctions issued Against Donald trump in the
Speaker 2: first five months of his. Presidency, now, now how does
Speaker 2: that compare to the historical. Record there are more universal
Speaker 2: injunctions that have been issued Against President trump than were
Speaker 2: issued in the entire twentieth century from nineteen hundred to two.
Speaker 2: Thousand there have been more in the last five months
Speaker 2: than there were in those one hundred. Years there have
Speaker 2: been more universal injunctions issued Against President. Trump then we're
Speaker 2: issued against all eight years Of GEORGE. W Bush all
Speaker 2: eight years Of Barack obama and all four years Of Joe.
Speaker 2: Biden five Months trump has even more than. That it
Speaker 2: has been an abuse of. Power and as you, NOTED
Speaker 2: i have been very. Vocal i've been laying out the.
Speaker 2: CASE i chaired A judiciary committee hearing focused on exactly
Speaker 2: this abuse of. Power this is the next wave of
Speaker 2: law Fel during the last four, years we Saw democrat
Speaker 2: prosecutors Indicting Donald, trump that was using the courts to
Speaker 2: attack their political enemy to try to stop the voters
Speaker 2: from Reelecting Donald. Trump that didn't, Work they failed Once
Speaker 2: President trump was. Reelected this was the next iteration of.
Speaker 2: Lawfare Get democrat attorneys, general get left wing radical groups
Speaker 2: to go seek out radical district judges put on the
Speaker 2: bench By Joe biden And Barack obama to issue injunctions
Speaker 2: and shut down the Entire trump agenda because and, understand
Speaker 2: These democrat attorneys, general they don't believe in. Democracy they
Speaker 2: don't believe the voters have a right to decide this
Speaker 2: is what we want and to elect someone to carry it. Out,
Speaker 2: instead they want courts to stand in the. Way, well
Speaker 2: you AND i talked about an earlier podcast WHAT i
Speaker 2: thought was likely here and WHAT i predicted on this,
Speaker 2: podcast AS i, SAID i think The Supreme court is
Speaker 2: going to reign in versal. Injunctions The Supreme court is
Speaker 2: going to make clear this is an abuse of. Power
Speaker 2: so it's really optimistic because in terms of the tools
Speaker 2: we have to reign in universal, injunctions The Supreme court
Speaker 2: acting is by far the. Best well On friday they.
Speaker 2: Did their decision was. Fantastic it was six'. To three
Speaker 2: the decision was Written By Amy. Cony barrett it is
Speaker 2: the most important opinion she has written in her tenure On,
Speaker 2: the court and it is. Very strong it makes clear
Speaker 2: that individual district judges do not have the, legal authority
Speaker 2: they don't have the jurisdiction to issue. Universal injunctions that
Speaker 2: is a massive victory for the rule, of law and
Speaker 2: it is a massive blow against the lawfare that the
Speaker 2: radical left is Waging Against. President, trump yeah no doubt.
Speaker 1: About it and that wasn't the only victory that. Came
Speaker 1: down another one was a free speech Coalition, versus paxton
Speaker 1: and this was a case Out of texas Where The
Speaker 1: supreme court came down six to three and they Held
Speaker 1: that texas age verification law where you have to verify
Speaker 1: your age to be on a, pornographic website is in.
Speaker 1: Fact constitutional this is really, a huge, i think build
Speaker 1: off to something that you work so hard on that
Speaker 1: there was bipartisan, support for which was to take It,
Speaker 1: down act and this really coupled, with that is a
Speaker 1: significant move By The united states to protect kids under
Speaker 1: the age.
Speaker 2: Of eighteen that's, Exactly, Right ben YOU and i are.
Speaker 2: Both parents YOU and i are. Both dads it's scary
Speaker 2: to be a parent right now because, our kids when
Speaker 2: our kids get to, be teenagers we give, them phones
Speaker 2: and phones are just this portal to everything evil and
Speaker 2: horrible in, the world the pressures that are on. Our
Speaker 2: kids when YOU and i, were young the biggest thing
Speaker 2: you had to worry about was the kid down the
Speaker 2: street punching you in the nose and giving you a.
Speaker 2: Bloody nose and that, wasn't fun but it did end.
Speaker 2: Your life your nose healed and you. Were, fine today
Speaker 2: our kids deal with they deal with sexual predators online
Speaker 2: that they deal with social media pushing all sorts of
Speaker 2: negative content, to them pushing, self harm pushing, suicidal ideation pushing,
Speaker 2: substance abuse, alcohol abuse, drug abuse pushing. Body, Image look
Speaker 2: i'm the dad of, two daughters and there's so much
Speaker 2: garbage online telling young girls you're, too fat you're, too ugly,
Speaker 2: you're this, you're that and it does real damage, and,
Speaker 2: depression anxiety all the pressures that are directed. At kids
Speaker 2: and one of the pressures that are directed at kids
Speaker 2: is there is so much sexual content that is just
Speaker 2: bombarding children and bombarding sometimes. Young kids and so the
Speaker 2: State of texas passed. A law i think it's a
Speaker 2: very common sense law that says if you have a
Speaker 2: site that is putting pornography online that you have to
Speaker 2: verify if the users are over eighteen, or not that
Speaker 2: you should not be pushing out porn. To kids. And
Speaker 2: listen when it comes to questions of, Free speech i'm.
Speaker 2: VERY libertarian i think adults have a right, to speak
Speaker 2: and if they want to go back and forth on issues,
Speaker 2: like this. Adults can but pushing porn to kids, is
Speaker 2: wrong and children the content now is just it, is
Speaker 2: graphic it, is grotesque and it bombards. Our kids And
Speaker 2: so texas passed a law, that said if you want
Speaker 2: to push it, to adults, you can but you can't
Speaker 2: push it. To kids and there was. A lawsuit there
Speaker 2: was a lawsuit, that, said look we have a right
Speaker 2: to give five year olds, graphic porn And The supreme
Speaker 2: court Six' three clarence thomas wrote, the majority, opinion said
Speaker 2: no there's Nothing In the first amendment that says you
Speaker 2: have the right to push pornography, to young children and
Speaker 2: states have a reasonable interest. IN protecting kids i think
Speaker 2: that's a common. Sense of victory and, On Free speech
Speaker 2: i'm i'm a, free SPEECH absolutist but i also think
Speaker 2: there is room for protecting children when it. Comes to
Speaker 2: adults adults are welcome to consume all, sorts of content
Speaker 2: but there's, no, reason, five, six seven eight nine year
Speaker 2: olds should be it should be seeing all the. Garbage
Speaker 2: that's there i'm really gratified this was. An, important decision yeah.
Speaker 1: It really, was and finally the other one that, you
Speaker 1: mentioned earlier this one for me is so important for
Speaker 1: parental rights and getting parnal rights back in our public
Speaker 1: schools because there was a massive fight where parents were
Speaker 1: saying we should be able to opt our kids OUT
Speaker 1: of this. Lgbtq plus curriculum there, was a lawsuit It Went.
Speaker 1: To supreme court it favored on the side of parents.
Speaker 1: Six to three this was massive for. So many parents
Speaker 1: they're concerned about their kids being indoctrinated by.
Speaker 2: The. Radical left yeah this case Arose Out of Montgomery,
Speaker 2: county In Maryland and montgomery county has a, very, Diverse
Speaker 2: population Uh And the Montgomery, county, school board unfortunately is
Speaker 2: one of the more woke School. Boards in america and
Speaker 2: so they put in PLACE an aggressive lgbtq curriculum and.
Speaker 2: They mandated it and we're not, talking high schoolers we're,
Speaker 2: talking young kids kids kindergarten. Through fifth grade and they
Speaker 2: pushed content that that THAT was, pushing lgbt content that
Speaker 2: was pushing transgender content, to, little, children, five six seven,
Speaker 2: eight year olds and a group, of, parents said hey.
Speaker 2: This is wrong a group of parents And, they included Catholics.
Speaker 2: They included, muslims they said we don't want, our school
Speaker 2: indoctrinating brainwashing our kids that that you think it's great
Speaker 2: to be. To be transgender you, think it's great like
Speaker 2: if you're a boy one day you think. You're a
Speaker 2: girl it's not the school's job to tell our five
Speaker 2: year olds. That's your ideology and so they sued and the, school,
Speaker 2: board said basically go jump. In a lake we're going to,
Speaker 2: indoctrinate your kids and you. Have no right, and on
Speaker 2: appeal the well the district Court and The court of
Speaker 2: appeals both both ruled against the parents and said they.
Speaker 2: Had no right and it Went To, the supreme Court
Speaker 2: And the supreme court six' three upheld the right of
Speaker 2: the parents to opt. Out of that curriculum, and, the
Speaker 2: court said quote because it has long recognized the rights
Speaker 2: of parents to direct the religious. Upbringing of their children
Speaker 2: the court concluded that the parents are likely to succeed
Speaker 2: on the claim that the board's policies unconstitutionally. Burdens their
Speaker 2: religious exercise alito wrote the majority opinion for, a six'
Speaker 2: three court and they said that parents' rights are violated
Speaker 2: when the government quote substantially interferes. With their children's religious
Speaker 2: development and so this is a. Great, protection for parental
Speaker 2: rights look parents ought to be in charge of what is.
Speaker 2: Being taught to their kids it's also a. Great victory
Speaker 2: for religious liberty if a parent wants to teach kids that,
Speaker 2: to embrace A radical agenda whether, on lgbt or anything
Speaker 2: else a parent has. A right to do that but
Speaker 2: the school system should not be in doctrining children and
Speaker 2: particularly young children kindergarteners is. What this case was about
Speaker 2: and so, this is a big victory three big, victories
Speaker 2: for our, constitutional rights for common sense and all three
Speaker 2: of them were Six' three out. Of the spring court.
Speaker 1: SIX' three massive massive. Win there i just am so
Speaker 1: thankful you talk about elections having. Consequences and these fights are,
Speaker 1: worth it. These are three Massive Changes major victories and
Speaker 1: remember these supreme court. Justices were picked years or decades ago,
Speaker 1: it's why president's elections are so, important because when things
Speaker 1: like this happen you need a conservative court that actually
Speaker 1: looks at the law and. In terms of it the
Speaker 1: right way and this is where all that hard work
