1 00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:04,280 Speaker 1: Welcoming as verdict was Senator Ted Cruz ben Ferguson with you. 2 00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:06,840 Speaker 1: Nice to have you with us today, and Senator We've 3 00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:10,719 Speaker 1: got a lot to talk about, including leaks coming from 4 00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:13,960 Speaker 1: the Democrats, classify leagues to try to give them cover 5 00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:17,200 Speaker 1: on China and the balloons. We'll talk about that. We 6 00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:19,880 Speaker 1: also have talked about an insane federal budget and a 7 00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:22,800 Speaker 1: bunch of wokeness in it. But before we get to that, 8 00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:26,920 Speaker 1: this is gonna be something right up your wheelhouse. Stanford 9 00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:29,680 Speaker 1: Law decided it would be a good idea to bring 10 00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:34,800 Speaker 1: in a judge, a federal judge, to lecture, to talk, 11 00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:39,280 Speaker 1: to educate, to inform students. It didn't go very well 12 00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:43,440 Speaker 1: for the Fifth Circuit Judge Kyle Duncan, who was basically 13 00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:48,360 Speaker 1: shouted down. Obviously, this was pre organized and pre plan 14 00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:51,879 Speaker 1: to make it where the man virtually couldn't speak. Is 15 00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:53,960 Speaker 1: this part of the problem we have now in America 16 00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:56,800 Speaker 1: that no one that has a different perspective with these 17 00:00:56,880 --> 00:01:00,680 Speaker 1: woke lefties can get anything, even a normal debate anymore. 18 00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:05,240 Speaker 1: It absolutely is. What happened this week at Stanford Law 19 00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:09,240 Speaker 1: School was remarkable. A federal judge, a federal Court of 20 00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:12,200 Speaker 1: Appeals judge in the Fifth Circuit, Judge Kyle Duncan was 21 00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:16,640 Speaker 1: invited by the Federalist Society chapter at Stanford to come speak. Now, 22 00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:19,720 Speaker 1: Kyle Duncan as a judge who was appointed by Donald Trump, 23 00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:22,520 Speaker 1: who was confirmed by the Senate. He's been sitting for 24 00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:26,280 Speaker 1: several years now in the Fifth Circuit. It's not uncommon 25 00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:28,759 Speaker 1: for judges to go speak at law schools. That happens 26 00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:32,520 Speaker 1: all the time. What happened this week at Stanford is 27 00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:36,039 Speaker 1: extraordinarily uncommon. In fact, I don't know of it ever 28 00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:41,080 Speaker 1: happening to another judge in history. Which is, when Judge 29 00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:45,920 Speaker 1: Duncan came and had prepared remarks, a group of Stanford 30 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:49,800 Speaker 1: law students began screaming, began heckling, began shouting him down, 31 00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:54,840 Speaker 1: began cursing, began literally every word or two that he said, 32 00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:58,840 Speaker 1: screaming and stopping the other Stanford law students from hearing 33 00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:03,320 Speaker 1: what Judge Duncan had to say. And unfortunately it got worse. 34 00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:06,480 Speaker 1: You had law students who are shouting down a federal judge, 35 00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:12,120 Speaker 1: and then an administrator showed up, an administrator named Tyn Steinbach, 36 00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:15,680 Speaker 1: who is the school's diversity dean. So she is in 37 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:19,239 Speaker 1: charge of d EI and she shows up, and Stanford 38 00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:21,880 Speaker 1: Law School claims to have a free speech policy. They 39 00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:25,000 Speaker 1: claim to have a policy that you can't silence a 40 00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:27,800 Speaker 1: speaker just because you disagree with him. So with the 41 00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:31,600 Speaker 1: arrival of the dean, you would think that the dean 42 00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:34,840 Speaker 1: would enforce the school's policies. Well that's not what happened, 43 00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:39,520 Speaker 1: not even close. In fact, even the judge had this 44 00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:43,240 Speaker 1: to say, after the heckling would not stop, and she 45 00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:46,080 Speaker 1: comes in the room and then she decides she wants 46 00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:48,760 Speaker 1: to basically give a speech. And even before he could 47 00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:51,080 Speaker 1: get back to what he was there to do, he 48 00:02:51,200 --> 00:03:03,200 Speaker 1: made the obvious point, which was this, okay, so you've 49 00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 1: invited me to speak here and being hackled NonStop, and 50 00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:14,119 Speaker 1: I'm just asking for administrator. Now you can hear it there. 51 00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:16,080 Speaker 1: He's like, let me get this straight. You asked me 52 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:19,160 Speaker 1: to come here to speak. I'm being hackled NonStop. You're 53 00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:21,280 Speaker 1: the one that's supposed to be basically putting law and 54 00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:25,040 Speaker 1: order back into this lecture, back into this classroom that's 55 00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:27,480 Speaker 1: supposed to be at a higher level and law school, 56 00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:30,760 Speaker 1: and now you're here basically wanting to give a speech 57 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:34,160 Speaker 1: to me. Well, he didn't know that at that moment. 58 00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:36,280 Speaker 1: And when she comes in, and there's video of this 59 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:39,160 Speaker 1: that's online too, so you can watch this whole thing transpire. 60 00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:42,560 Speaker 1: But when she comes in, he doesn't know that she's 61 00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:45,360 Speaker 1: an administrator. He doesn't know that she's a dean, much 62 00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:48,600 Speaker 1: less the d EI dean. But she comes in and 63 00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,880 Speaker 1: the mob scream she's an administrator. And what happens next 64 00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:55,520 Speaker 1: is is remarkable because it turned out she had a 65 00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:59,560 Speaker 1: written speech not to the students to tell them shut 66 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:01,680 Speaker 1: up and us into the judge or leave, which is 67 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:05,480 Speaker 1: what an administrator should have done, but rather she proceeded 68 00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:11,640 Speaker 1: to lecture and denounce the judge herself as the administrator, 69 00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:15,720 Speaker 1: as the dean. And and this too is remarkable. She 70 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:18,320 Speaker 1: went on for about six minutes. Let's play about half 71 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:21,440 Speaker 1: of what she said, because it's really it's it's it 72 00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:24,360 Speaker 1: takes your breath away. I have to write something down 73 00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:28,080 Speaker 1: and I'm so uncomfortable up here, and I don't say 74 00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:32,560 Speaker 1: that for sympathy. I just say I'm deeply, deeply uncomfortable. Um, 75 00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:36,279 Speaker 1: I'm uncomfortable because this event is tearing at the fabric 76 00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:38,560 Speaker 1: of this community that I care about, and I'm here 77 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,200 Speaker 1: and the support. And I don't know, and I have 78 00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:43,440 Speaker 1: to ask myself, and I'm not a cynic to ass 79 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:50,919 Speaker 1: this is the juice worth the squeeze. So for many 80 00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:57,360 Speaker 1: work here, who's studying here and who live here, your advocacy, 81 00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:03,159 Speaker 1: your opinions from the bench land absolute disenfranchisement of their rights. 82 00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:17,640 Speaker 1: But death lands and it impacts directly. They're people, humans, 83 00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:21,200 Speaker 1: their families and their communities. And I'm uncomfortable and it's 84 00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:23,640 Speaker 1: uncomfortable to say this to you as a person. It's 85 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:27,919 Speaker 1: uncomfortable to say that for many people here your work 86 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:31,960 Speaker 1: has caused harm, has has caused harm, and I know 87 00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:34,839 Speaker 1: that must be uncomfortable to here. I know that must 88 00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:36,840 Speaker 1: be Let me please finish, and I want to give 89 00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:41,000 Speaker 1: you space to finish your remarks due Judge Duncan. I'm 90 00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:45,640 Speaker 1: also uncomfortable because many of the people in the room 91 00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:49,760 Speaker 1: here I have come to care for um and in 92 00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:53,599 Speaker 1: my role at this university, my job is to create 93 00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:57,320 Speaker 1: a space of belonging for all people in this institution. 94 00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:00,479 Speaker 1: And that is hard and bessy and not And the 95 00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:02,920 Speaker 1: answers are not black or white, or right or wrong. 96 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:06,960 Speaker 1: This is actually part of the creation of belonging, and 97 00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:10,440 Speaker 1: it doesn't feel comfortable, and it doesn't always feel safe, 98 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:13,640 Speaker 1: but there are always places of safety, and there's always 99 00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:16,720 Speaker 1: an intention from this administration to make sure you all 100 00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:19,200 Speaker 1: can be in a safe where you feel fully you 101 00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:23,159 Speaker 1: can be here learn growing to the amazing advocates and 102 00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:26,600 Speaker 1: lawyers and leaders that you're going to be. I'm also 103 00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:29,640 Speaker 1: uncomfortable because it is my job to say you are 104 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:33,120 Speaker 1: invited into this space. You are absolutely welcome in this 105 00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:36,880 Speaker 1: space and this space that people learn and again live. 106 00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:41,400 Speaker 1: I really do wholeheartedly welcome you because me and many 107 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:45,159 Speaker 1: people in this administration do absolutely believe in pree speech. 108 00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:48,960 Speaker 1: We believe that it isn't necessary. We believe that the 109 00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:53,120 Speaker 1: way to address speech that feels a borrent, that feels harmful, 110 00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:58,039 Speaker 1: that literally denies the humanity of people, that one way 111 00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:01,400 Speaker 1: to do that is with more speech and less and 112 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:04,760 Speaker 1: not to shut you down or censor you, or censor 113 00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:07,520 Speaker 1: the student group that invited you here. That is hard, 114 00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:10,960 Speaker 1: that is uncomfortable, and that is a policy and a 115 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:15,160 Speaker 1: principle that I think is worthy of defending even in 116 00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:18,680 Speaker 1: this time. Even in this time, and again I still ask, 117 00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:25,120 Speaker 1: is the Jews with the sweets I mean the division 118 00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:29,400 Speaker 1: that is je something so incredible important to say about 119 00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:32,600 Speaker 1: Twitter and guns and COVID that that is worth this 120 00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:36,040 Speaker 1: impact on the division of these people who are set 121 00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:39,080 Speaker 1: next to each other for years, who are going through 122 00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:42,120 Speaker 1: what is the battle of law school together, so that 123 00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:44,560 Speaker 1: they can go on into the world and be advocates. 124 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:46,800 Speaker 1: So they can go out into the world and be 125 00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:50,040 Speaker 1: advocate center. I mean, she clearly pre planned this and 126 00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:52,200 Speaker 1: knew what she was going to do, which was in 127 00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:56,120 Speaker 1: essence tell off a federal judge. Well, there's so many 128 00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:59,040 Speaker 1: things wrong with this that that it's difficult to know 129 00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,600 Speaker 1: where to begin. But maybe the where to begin is 130 00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:03,760 Speaker 1: where she ends, so they can go out into the 131 00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:06,960 Speaker 1: world to be advocates. Noticed she didn't say attorneys. This 132 00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:11,080 Speaker 1: is Stanford Law School. They are trying to train social 133 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:15,640 Speaker 1: justice warriors. They're trying to train Occupy Wall Street, burn 134 00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:20,640 Speaker 1: it all down, left wing radicals. They're trying to train Antifa. 135 00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:26,840 Speaker 1: They're not trying to train lawyers. Their attorneys present arguments 136 00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:29,960 Speaker 1: in front of judges. I have in my entire life, 137 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:33,600 Speaker 1: I've been a lawyer roughly half my life. I have 138 00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:38,440 Speaker 1: never seen a federal judge on the left or right 139 00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:43,120 Speaker 1: treated like that. Ever, the idea that at Stanford Law 140 00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:46,720 Speaker 1: law students would think it's appropriate to scream and yell 141 00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:51,200 Speaker 1: and heckel. Can you imagine how people would react if 142 00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:55,080 Speaker 1: Sonia Sotomayor went to a law school and a bunch 143 00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:58,280 Speaker 1: of right wing law students began screaming and yelling and cursing. 144 00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:03,240 Speaker 1: People would lose their minds quite rightly, because that's not 145 00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:05,920 Speaker 1: how a lawyer is trained to deal with a judge. 146 00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,679 Speaker 1: If you did that in a courtroom, you would be 147 00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,679 Speaker 1: put in handcuffs, you would be held in contempt of court, 148 00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:13,960 Speaker 1: and you would be sent to jail. That's actually how 149 00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,880 Speaker 1: our justice system works. You don't get to scream and 150 00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:20,000 Speaker 1: yell at a federal judge in a courtroom. For law 151 00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:22,520 Speaker 1: students to do it on the faculty is disgraceful, and 152 00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:26,920 Speaker 1: by the way, it also the entire week. It was 153 00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:32,000 Speaker 1: preceded by a concerted effort. So when the judge was invited, 154 00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:37,160 Speaker 1: left wing activists put all over Stanford Law School flyers 155 00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:41,520 Speaker 1: with the names and pictures of the students on the 156 00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:45,280 Speaker 1: board of the Federalist Society at Stanford, along with the 157 00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:50,559 Speaker 1: words you should be ashamed, with ashamed and bright red 158 00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:56,120 Speaker 1: sort of Halloween looking dripping letters. This is deliberately targeting 159 00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:59,240 Speaker 1: those students. This is threatening those students. This is using 160 00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:04,200 Speaker 1: threats of force. This is if it happened on the 161 00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:08,520 Speaker 1: other foot, if a conservative put up a list with 162 00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:12,160 Speaker 1: pictures and names of nine liberal students and said you 163 00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:17,040 Speaker 1: should be ashamed for advocating for whatever left wing cause 164 00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:20,760 Speaker 1: you're advocating, I guarantee you the law school would discipline, 165 00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:24,920 Speaker 1: if not expel, any students who did that. And to 166 00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:29,559 Speaker 1: see this happening to a judge is astonishing. You mentioned 167 00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:32,000 Speaker 1: that this group that was bringing them in is a 168 00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:33,560 Speaker 1: group that a lot of people may have heard of. 169 00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:36,840 Speaker 1: They don't necessarily know what they do, and a lot 170 00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:39,320 Speaker 1: of Americans obviously have not gone to law school.

You mentioned this group. Tell 201 00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:15,600 Speaker 1: a little bit of background on the group and how 202 00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:20,240 Speaker 1: law school works. Bringing in judges and bringing in famous 203 00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:23,080 Speaker 1: lawyers is a part of law school. Bring in speakers 204 00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:25,960 Speaker 1: is a part of law school. That's very normal. Has 205 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:29,000 Speaker 1: been going on for decades and decades and decades. So 206 00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:32,240 Speaker 1: the Federalist Society is a group that was formed in 207 00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:35,240 Speaker 1: nineteen eighty two, so it's forty one years old, and 208 00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:38,000 Speaker 1: it was formed by a group of students from Yale 209 00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:41,240 Speaker 1: and Harvard and University of Chicago Law school. And it 210 00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:45,120 Speaker 1: was formed with the idea of challenging the left wing 211 00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:48,719 Speaker 1: orthodoxy that was the prevailing view of the faculty and 212 00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:52,120 Speaker 1: many of the students in law schools. And it was 213 00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:55,679 Speaker 1: initially formed by students and some law professors. And some 214 00:12:55,760 --> 00:13:01,040 Speaker 1: of the early mentors and founding figure of the Federalist 215 00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:07,040 Speaker 1: Society include Justice Antonin Scalia and Judge Robert Bourke. The 216 00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:11,200 Speaker 1: Federalist Society now has chapters all over the country. It 217 00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:14,360 Speaker 1: has chapters at more than two hundred law schools, and 218 00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:19,000 Speaker 1: its lawyers division has more than seventy thousand practicing lawyers 219 00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:21,840 Speaker 1: all over the country. And so in law schools. They 220 00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:26,920 Speaker 1: regularly host events. They host a national conference for law students, 221 00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:30,640 Speaker 1: the Lawyers Conventions, they're in cities all across the country. 222 00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:33,400 Speaker 1: They regularly host events as well. They bring in speakers, 223 00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:37,440 Speaker 1: they have debates. There's also every year a National Lawyers 224 00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:42,480 Speaker 1: Convention in Washington, that is that thousands of conservative and 225 00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:47,000 Speaker 1: liberty or and or libertarian lawyers come to I've been 226 00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:50,280 Speaker 1: a member of the Federalist Society for thirty one years. 227 00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:52,040 Speaker 1: I joined when I was a one l in law 228 00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:53,920 Speaker 1: school in nineteen ninety two, so it was just ten 229 00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:58,080 Speaker 1: years old at the time, and I've been to dozens 230 00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:01,600 Speaker 1: of national conventions. One of the things that's interesting about 231 00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:04,040 Speaker 1: the Federalist Society is they often have debates. They invite 232 00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:07,160 Speaker 1: lots of liberals. Liberals attend, liberal law professors attend, liberal 233 00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:11,480 Speaker 1: judges attend. I've seen many left wing judges. I've seen 234 00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:17,200 Speaker 1: Antonin Scalia and Steve Bryer debate at a Federalist Society convention. 235 00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:19,920 Speaker 1: And you know what happens at a federalst Society convention. 236 00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:24,320 Speaker 1: I've never seen a crowd of either law students or 237 00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:30,280 Speaker 1: lawyers treat a liberal judge disrespectfully. I've never. I've never 238 00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:33,560 Speaker 1: seen it. I can't imagine that it would happen. The 239 00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:39,040 Speaker 1: left has tried to make the Federalist Society a badge 240 00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:41,400 Speaker 1: of shame. In fact, you'll see in the Senate Judiciary 241 00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:44,520 Speaker 1: Committee when a judge is nominated that Democrats will last, 242 00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:46,520 Speaker 1: are you a member of the Federalist Society? And they 243 00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:49,040 Speaker 1: treat it like you know, it's very Joe McCarthy, are 244 00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:50,360 Speaker 1: you now or have you ever been a member of 245 00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:53,880 Speaker 1: the Communist Party. I frequently go back and forth with 246 00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:56,960 Speaker 1: Sheldon Whitehouse, one of the liberals on the Judiciary Committee, 247 00:14:56,960 --> 00:15:03,000 Speaker 1: about the Federalist Society. But in this instance, the behavior 248 00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:07,720 Speaker 1: of the left wing activists was shameful at the outset, 249 00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:10,920 Speaker 1: attacking the students in the Federalist Society, trying to make 250 00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:14,800 Speaker 1: them pariahs, trying to shame them, trying to trying to 251 00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:18,280 Speaker 1: force them to cancel the event, and they were pushing 252 00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:22,680 Speaker 1: for them to cancel. Do not bring this judge to campus. 253 00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:25,640 Speaker 1: I'll tell you. I've spoken that many Federalist Society events 254 00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:31,040 Speaker 1: across the country at left wing universities, and this pattern 255 00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:36,560 Speaker 1: has been growing. Look, we saw about a year ago 256 00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:42,000 Speaker 1: something similar happened at Yale Law School. There was a lawyer, 257 00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:46,080 Speaker 1: Kristen Wagoner, who came to speak and came to speak 258 00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:49,320 Speaker 1: about a religious liberty case that she'd argued at the 259 00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:53,440 Speaker 1: US Supreme Court and that she'd won and she'd prevailed, 260 00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:58,800 Speaker 1: and she was talking about that case, and the same 261 00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:03,760 Speaker 1: sort of things happened, which is a group of left 262 00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:08,080 Speaker 1: wing students yelled, screen harassed, and shut down the speech, 263 00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:12,600 Speaker 1: prevented her from speaking. It was shameful for Yale. It 264 00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:17,600 Speaker 1: also similarly happened at University of California Hastings when a 265 00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:20,760 Speaker 1: libertarian law professor named Ilios Shapiro Elio as a friend 266 00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:24,359 Speaker 1: of mine, a terrific law professor. Again, left wing activists 267 00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:28,040 Speaker 1: screamed and yelled and shut down his speech. So they've 268 00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:32,880 Speaker 1: done this before to lawyers and professors, to my knowledge, 269 00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:36,720 Speaker 1: they've never done it before to a judge. And there 270 00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:40,160 Speaker 1: are lots of questions that this raises, one of which 271 00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:42,920 Speaker 1: is what's Stanford going to do about it? Now? The 272 00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:45,360 Speaker 1: president at Stanford, the dean of the law school have 273 00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:48,720 Speaker 1: already apologized in writing, They apologized to Judge Duncan, they 274 00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:51,640 Speaker 1: apologized publicly. That was the right thing to do. I'm 275 00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:55,880 Speaker 1: glad they apologize. That's that's more than many institutions do. 276 00:16:56,920 --> 00:17:00,840 Speaker 1: But the obvious question is what consequences are the students 277 00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:03,000 Speaker 1: going to face. Look, we know who those students were. 278 00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:07,760 Speaker 1: They're videos of them. Any student that is shouting down 279 00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:11,040 Speaker 1: a federal judge. And by the way, they weren't just 280 00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:18,600 Speaker 1: just shouting down, they were yelling profane and explicit language 281 00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:22,760 Speaker 1: to the judge in including one man, a gay man, 282 00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:29,040 Speaker 1: who described in profane terms that he had sexual relations 283 00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:30,840 Speaker 1: with other men, and he said, I know where the 284 00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:36,760 Speaker 1: prostate is, and and he demands of the judge why 285 00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:41,600 Speaker 1: he can't find a particular part of a woman's genitalia, 286 00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:44,919 Speaker 1: Like what the hell? Yeah, welcome, welcome to diversity at 287 00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:47,200 Speaker 1: law school in Stanford, one of the top ones in 288 00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:50,880 Speaker 1: the country. And this is a law student screaming profane 289 00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:55,320 Speaker 1: expletives at a sitting Federal Court of Appeals judge. As 290 00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:58,240 Speaker 1: far as I'm concerned, every student there who engaged in 291 00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:03,359 Speaker 1: this conduct should face discipline, nary action. And the big 292 00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:06,399 Speaker 1: question is what's going to happen to this dean. And 293 00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:09,200 Speaker 1: I guarantee if Stanford's going to say, well, we apologized, 294 00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:13,520 Speaker 1: look this dean, what she did was premeditated. Stanford claims 295 00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:16,439 Speaker 1: to have a free speech policy. Not only did she 296 00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:20,760 Speaker 1: not enforce the policy, she effectively joined the mob. Her 297 00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:24,560 Speaker 1: speech was disgraceful as well. And I got to say 298 00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:28,760 Speaker 1: the whole you know you are causing pain, and I feel, 299 00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:31,159 Speaker 1: I know it feels uncomfortable to hear me say this. 300 00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:35,000 Speaker 1: It's the entire lingo of the left where they sound 301 00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:40,280 Speaker 1: like like a combination of mister Rogers and a therapist, 302 00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:43,760 Speaker 1: and they're just like, oh, oh, I'm so sensitive and 303 00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:46,360 Speaker 1: my feelings are hurt. And then I got to say, 304 00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:48,920 Speaker 1: my head explodes when I see all these lefties snapping. 305 00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:52,040 Speaker 1: That's the way so many left wing activists like to 306 00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:56,200 Speaker 1: like to applaud on campus as they go. And it's 307 00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:59,320 Speaker 1: and they also hissed like snakes that when they don't 308 00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:02,760 Speaker 1: like something, they when they like it, they snap. And 309 00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:05,160 Speaker 1: let me say, right now, this dean should be fired. 310 00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:10,000 Speaker 1: If it is not a firing offense for a dean 311 00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:16,399 Speaker 1: of a law school to side with students who are attacking, insulting, 312 00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:20,280 Speaker 1: cursing at a federal judge, to side with the mob 313 00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:23,760 Speaker 1: against the a federal judge against an invited speaker, then 314 00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:25,960 Speaker 1: I don't know what would be a fireable offense. But 315 00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:29,440 Speaker 1: I'm going to predict right now, Stanford won't firer because 316 00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:35,359 Speaker 1: DI diversity, equity, and inclusion is more important to them 317 00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:38,959 Speaker 1: than the actual mission of training lawyers. And I'll tell 318 00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:42,600 Speaker 1: you this, Stanford's going to have an interesting question because 319 00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:46,080 Speaker 1: every one of those law students, presumably when they graduate, 320 00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:49,080 Speaker 1: is going to take the bar, and the state bar 321 00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:52,679 Speaker 1: is going to have to assess the student's character and 322 00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:55,760 Speaker 1: fitness to practice law. And I got to tell you, 323 00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:57,800 Speaker 1: if if you're sitting on a state bar and you're 324 00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:00,280 Speaker 1: seeing that as a law student, this person screen and 325 00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:03,960 Speaker 1: yells and curses at federal judges, I don't know a 326 00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:06,080 Speaker 1: whole lot of state bars that would say you have 327 00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:08,800 Speaker 1: the character and fitness to be an attorney, You have 328 00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:11,479 Speaker 1: the character and fitness to appear in federal court in 329 00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:13,280 Speaker 1: front of a federal judge when you don't have the 330 00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:18,080 Speaker 1: decency to actually behave like a lawyer and engage in 331 00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:21,120 Speaker 1: a respectful conversation. You can ask carsh questions, you can 332 00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:24,679 Speaker 1: disagree with the judge's opinion, but screaming and cursing and 333 00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:27,600 Speaker 1: yelling and trying to deny your fellow students the right 334 00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:31,040 Speaker 1: to hear a speaker they came to hear that is 335 00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:34,840 Speaker 1: not remotely consistent with the obligations of being a member 336 00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:39,160 Speaker 1: of the bar. You said something earlier, at the very beginning, 337 00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:41,880 Speaker 1: and you said, it's clear that Stanford and the way 338 00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:45,359 Speaker 1: that the Dean talked about this is they're basically trying 339 00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:51,560 Speaker 1: not to graduate lawyers, they're trying to graduate activists. And 340 00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:55,200 Speaker 1: you can connect this directly to what's happening right now 341 00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:59,960 Speaker 1: in Washington with the Biden budget. It's an activist budget. 342 00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:01,399 Speaker 1: You don't have to take my word for it or 343 00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:04,439 Speaker 1: your word for it, Senator. It's in the budget. The 344 00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:08,320 Speaker 1: words the activists, woke words are in the budget. Before 345 00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:09,880 Speaker 1: we go through that, I want to tell people about 346 00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:13,080 Speaker 1: Patriot Mobile real quick. Patriot Mobile is the only Christian 347 00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:16,359 Speaker 1: conservative cell phone company in the US. And if you're 348 00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:19,240 Speaker 1: sick and tired of woke companies that you pay money 349 00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:22,560 Speaker 1: to every month and then they actually go against your values, 350 00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:25,520 Speaker 1: you've got an option now in the cell phone industry. 351 00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:28,520 Speaker 1: You can actually switch to Patriot Mobile. And it's easy. 352 00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:30,800 Speaker 1: You can keep your same cell phone number, you can 353 00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:33,320 Speaker 1: keep your same cell phone or switch to a new phone. 354 00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:35,439 Speaker 1: Maybe you want to upgrade. You can do that. The 355 00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:37,880 Speaker 1: other great thing about Patriot Mobile is when you pay 356 00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:40,720 Speaker 1: your bill every month, they take a portion of that 357 00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:44,199 Speaker 1: bill and they give it back to conservative causes and 358 00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:48,640 Speaker 1: organizations that actually stand for what we believe in. We're 359 00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:52,000 Speaker 1: talking about First and Second Amendment right organizations, standing up 360 00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:54,840 Speaker 1: for the rights of unborn children, and even helping people 361 00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:58,840 Speaker 1: with adoptions. If you're ready to have a company stand 362 00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:00,679 Speaker 1: with you and what you believe in, you're gonna have 363 00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:03,040 Speaker 1: a cell phone anyway you might as will support what 364 00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:05,159 Speaker 1: you believe in. When you pay your bill, call him 365 00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:09,600 Speaker 1: age seven eighth Patriot.

You kind of went on a really blunt 369 00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:24,000 Speaker 1: I would I would call it a tirade, and I 370 00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:27,240 Speaker 1: mean that in a positive way. In Congress this past 371 00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:31,960 Speaker 1: week talking about Biden's budget. The budget that he has 372 00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:35,159 Speaker 1: put together, that the Democrats have put together is not 373 00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:39,480 Speaker 1: an actual budget. It's a massive increase of government spending, 374 00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:42,320 Speaker 1: but with a whole hell of a lot of wokeness 375 00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:46,080 Speaker 1: in it that has nothing to do with an actual budget. Well, 376 00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:49,280 Speaker 1: this past week, Biden rolled out what he calls his budget, 377 00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:53,560 Speaker 1: and it is a left wing manifesto. It is extreme. 378 00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:58,359 Speaker 1: He proposed just for fiscal year twenty twenty four, six 379 00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:02,480 Speaker 1: point nine trillion dollars in spending, almost seven trillion dollars 380 00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:06,000 Speaker 1: in spending, and under the budget that he laid out, 381 00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:11,720 Speaker 1: he is proposing that the national debt should exceed fifty 382 00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:15,800 Speaker 1: trillion dollars by the year twenty thirty three, which would 383 00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:19,959 Speaker 1: be a debt to GDP ratio higher than the record 384 00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:22,159 Speaker 1: we set right after World War Two. That's what he's 385 00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:25,639 Speaker 1: proposing on the front end now. Amazingly enough, despite having 386 00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:30,399 Speaker 1: fifty trillion in debt, he also is proposing four point 387 00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:34,000 Speaker 1: seven trillion in new taxes. A lot of those taxes 388 00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:39,159 Speaker 1: are targeted at oil and gas, at energy exploration, because 389 00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:41,359 Speaker 1: he wants the price of the gas pump to go higher, 390 00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:44,200 Speaker 1: because the Green New Deal is much more important to 391 00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:48,000 Speaker 1: him than actually working families who are having a hard 392 00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:50,000 Speaker 1: time making ends meet, who are having a hard time 393 00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:54,200 Speaker 1: fill their pump. If you look at what is in 394 00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:59,040 Speaker 1: this budget, he would increase the business tax rate to 395 00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:04,600 Speaker 1: twenty eight percent, which the Tax Foundation has estimated would 396 00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:08,119 Speaker 1: kill one hundred and fifty nine thousand jobs, shrink the 397 00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:12,440 Speaker 1: economy by seven hundred and twenty billion dollars, and would 398 00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:15,560 Speaker 1: have the United States have a higher business tax rate 399 00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:20,000 Speaker 1: than communist China. But that is there. Can you say 400 00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:22,920 Speaker 1: that again? I think people really need to understand and 401 00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:26,879 Speaker 1: realize why they're doing what you just said, having a 402 00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:30,200 Speaker 1: higher corporate tax rate than China, and that's to basically 403 00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:34,920 Speaker 1: make our government, I would say, communist socialists, however you 404 00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:37,520 Speaker 1: want to describe it, but make sure that you just 405 00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:40,040 Speaker 1: can't really succeed to a certain level of success in 406 00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:42,879 Speaker 1: America any longer they want to, They want to tamper success. 407 00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:45,480 Speaker 1: I'm just going to tell you what they're doing. This 408 00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:50,080 Speaker 1: is a socialist budget. This is a budget to bankrupt America. 409 00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:52,199 Speaker 1: This is a budget to kill jobs. This is a 410 00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:57,199 Speaker 1: budget to create even more inflation. For example, let's just 411 00:24:57,240 --> 00:25:00,240 Speaker 1: work a look at a simple word camp The word 412 00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:04,960 Speaker 1: equity appears in the Biden budget sixty three times, the 413 00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:08,960 Speaker 1: word climate one hundred and forty eight times, the words 414 00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:13,760 Speaker 1: environmental justice they appear twenty five times. On the other hand, 415 00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:18,000 Speaker 1: how about issues that Americans actually care about, the word 416 00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:23,680 Speaker 1: inflation is mentioned just ten times, police officers mentioned four times, 417 00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:30,520 Speaker 1: parents mentioned three times, gas prices three times, fentanyl just 418 00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:35,640 Speaker 1: two times. This is a left wing budget and it 419 00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:38,480 Speaker 1: doesn't address the real problems, like we have the worst 420 00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:41,960 Speaker 1: illegal immigration in our nation's history. You don't how many 421 00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:45,320 Speaker 1: new border patrol agents are funded. Are in this budget. 422 00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:48,160 Speaker 1: I'm going to guess not that many. Knowing how much 423 00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:50,720 Speaker 1: they love an open budget, open border, I should say 424 00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:56,480 Speaker 1: three hundred and fifty. Wow. Mind you, the budget not 425 00:25:56,560 --> 00:26:01,639 Speaker 1: only funds eighty seven thousand new IRS agent, it puts 426 00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:05,560 Speaker 1: even more money into the IRS. Because their objective is 427 00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:09,600 Speaker 1: a federal government to harass and go after the American 428 00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:13,960 Speaker 1: people in small businesses. They're perfectly fine with open borders. 429 00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:18,520 Speaker 1: They're perfectly fine with fentanol flooding across the border. Here's 430 00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:23,560 Speaker 1: the good news this left wing budget. The chances of 431 00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:27,720 Speaker 1: it passing into law are zero percent. There's no chance 432 00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:29,639 Speaker 1: this budget will pass. And by the way, the Biden 433 00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:32,280 Speaker 1: White House knows this. They know that a Republican House 434 00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:36,960 Speaker 1: of Representatives would never pass this radical budget. So why 435 00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:40,000 Speaker 1: did they propose it. What's interesting is because they know 436 00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:43,439 Speaker 1: it won't pass. This is a political document this is 437 00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:47,520 Speaker 1: they're telling you, this is what we believe in. And 438 00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:52,960 Speaker 1: what becomes clear is what they believe in is climate, 439 00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:59,600 Speaker 1: justice and equity and everything except actually securing the border, 440 00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:04,640 Speaker 1: acting our homes, protecting our families, growing the economy, creating jobs, 441 00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:09,240 Speaker 1: lowering inflation, having gas prices be affordable. None of those 442 00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:15,000 Speaker 1: do they care about. This is instead I am activist. 443 00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:18,439 Speaker 1: Hear me, roar that is this budget? How much of 444 00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:20,600 Speaker 1: this center could make it? And you did say you 445 00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:23,000 Speaker 1: think there's zero percent chances budget will be passed, but 446 00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:26,440 Speaker 1: a budget will have to be passed. So is this 447 00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:29,359 Speaker 1: start out on the most extreme and then you you 448 00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:34,240 Speaker 1: negotiate down to a significant chunk of this extremism showing 449 00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:37,600 Speaker 1: up in the budget. Well, it'll depend on the back 450 00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:41,200 Speaker 1: and forth between the House and the Senate. The Republican 451 00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:44,879 Speaker 1: House is going to have very different priorities. Unfortunately, we 452 00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:47,600 Speaker 1: have a Democrat Senate. So my guess is that some 453 00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:51,120 Speaker 1: of the Democrats in the Senate think Biden's budgets should 454 00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:54,679 Speaker 1: be even bigger, He should spend even more. For example, 455 00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:57,439 Speaker 1: one of their talking points that the White House is 456 00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:00,879 Speaker 1: bragging about as they say, well, we increase defense spending 457 00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:03,520 Speaker 1: three percent now, of course, inflation is between six and 458 00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:07,400 Speaker 1: eight percent, so that is in real terms a cut 459 00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:11,480 Speaker 1: of between three and five percent to defense. But that's 460 00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:14,800 Speaker 1: their talking point. Where we end up at the end 461 00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:16,639 Speaker 1: of the day is going to be a result of 462 00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:19,680 Speaker 1: the negotiations between the House and Senate and the White House. 463 00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:22,439 Speaker 1: It's going to go back and forth. And the two 464 00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:26,680 Speaker 1: pivotal leverage points where the fight is really going to 465 00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:29,280 Speaker 1: be fought out are going to be the debt ceiling 466 00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:32,240 Speaker 1: and are going to be September thirtieth, the expiration of 467 00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:34,400 Speaker 1: federal funding. Those are going to be the two battles. 468 00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:38,040 Speaker 1: I expect both will be epic battles. I believe if 469 00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:42,000 Speaker 1: Republicans stand firm, we can make real progress. But we'll 470 00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:46,120 Speaker 1: see a if Republicans stand firm and be what Democrats 471 00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:49,880 Speaker 1: do in response. Yeah, this budget, as you said, seeing 472 00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:51,520 Speaker 1: how the sausage is going to be made will be 473 00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:53,880 Speaker 1: very very interesting. I want to move on to one 474 00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:58,040 Speaker 1: other issue, Senator, and that is one where a Biden 475 00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:03,840 Speaker 1: official apparently classified info about the Trump Air Chinese by 476 00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:08,920 Speaker 1: balloons to deflect criticism of the Biden administration. Centers are 477 00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:12,160 Speaker 1: now saying and accusing this of happening. Before I get 478 00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:13,440 Speaker 1: your thoughts on that, though, I want to tell you 479 00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:16,560 Speaker 1: about Chalk.

It's not. And that's the fact that apparently 497 00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:19,200 Speaker 1: Biden officials lead classified info about the Trump Air Chinese 498 00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:24,120 Speaker 1: by balloons just to deflect criticism from Joe Biden's administration. Well, 499 00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:28,720 Speaker 1: this is another illustration of what happens when the woke, 500 00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:32,440 Speaker 1: angry children at Stanford Law School grow up and get 501 00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:36,440 Speaker 1: jobs in the Defense Department. In this instance, remember back 502 00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:38,880 Speaker 1: to the Chinese by balloon, and we talked quite a 503 00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:41,120 Speaker 1: bit on the podcast about the Chinese by balloon at 504 00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:45,080 Speaker 1: the time, and when the news broke, Remember the Chinese 505 00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:48,920 Speaker 1: five balloon initially crossed over American airspace in Alaska. The 506 00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:53,240 Speaker 1: Biden administration did nothing. It then went over Canadian airspace, 507 00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:56,640 Speaker 1: the Biden administration did nothing. It then crossed over into 508 00:30:56,680 --> 00:31:00,920 Speaker 1: American airspace again, crossing in Idaho and Montana. And what 509 00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:05,000 Speaker 1: happened is it happened to be a remarkably clear day 510 00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:07,600 Speaker 1: and a couple of Montana guys looking up in the 511 00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:11,240 Speaker 1: sky saw the damn thing, and they took pictures of it, 512 00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:14,200 Speaker 1: and they put it on the internet, and reporters covered it, 513 00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:16,720 Speaker 1: and suddenly people are like, what the heck is that 514 00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:20,200 Speaker 1: in the air. And as you'll recall, for eight days 515 00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:24,040 Speaker 1: the Biden administration allowed the spy balloon to traverse the 516 00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:30,000 Speaker 1: entire continental United States conducting espionage over sensitive military installations, 517 00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:32,720 Speaker 1: and they did nothing until its mission was complete, and 518 00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:36,800 Speaker 1: then they shot it down over the Atlantic. Now, if 519 00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:40,680 Speaker 1: you recall, when this was unfolding, Biden was getting a 520 00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:42,520 Speaker 1: lot of heat. Why are you so weak? Why are 521 00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:44,720 Speaker 1: you so impotent? Why are you allowing the Chinese to 522 00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:48,720 Speaker 1: spy on us? And about midway through that process, suddenly 523 00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:53,440 Speaker 1: there were stories everywhere that says said, oh, well, Trump 524 00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:55,840 Speaker 1: did the same thing. The Chinese spied on us during 525 00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:58,840 Speaker 1: the Trump administration and Trump did nothing as well, And 526 00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:02,080 Speaker 1: that was a story. The Biden flacks, they flacked hard. 527 00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:04,800 Speaker 1: They're like, look, look, look, see Trump did it too. Haha. 528 00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:08,920 Speaker 1: Our guy's not weak. And what we now know. So, 529 00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:10,760 Speaker 1: there was a letter that was sent by two of 530 00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:15,080 Speaker 1: my colleagues, Roger Wicker and Marco Rubio, which the letter 531 00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:20,200 Speaker 1: alleges that the under Secretary of Defense for policy a 532 00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:24,160 Speaker 1: guy named Colin Call, who is a left wing activist. 533 00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:27,440 Speaker 1: He is a hard partisan. He's someone who has a 534 00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:33,680 Speaker 1: long history of misusing classified information and being willing to 535 00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:39,320 Speaker 1: leak it for political and partisan purposes. What the Wicker 536 00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:43,600 Speaker 1: Rubio alleges is that it was Colin Call who is 537 00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:45,720 Speaker 1: the one that put out there that it had happened 538 00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:48,960 Speaker 1: under the Trump administration. But what we also know now 539 00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:55,120 Speaker 1: is that when Called told that to reporters, he omitted 540 00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:59,640 Speaker 1: one really critical fact, which is the Trump administration didn't 541 00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:03,360 Speaker 1: know about Trump didn't know about it. You know, remember 542 00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:05,840 Speaker 1: afterwards there were lots of folks. Mike Pompeo went on 543 00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:07,400 Speaker 1: TV and said, I don't know what they're talking about, 544 00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:09,400 Speaker 1: that I don't know anything about this. The head of 545 00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:12,200 Speaker 1: the Director of Natural Intelligence under Trump said, I don't 546 00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:17,040 Speaker 1: know what they're talking about. Colin Call knew that the 547 00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:22,200 Speaker 1: Trump administration was unaware of these Chinese balloons. They omitted 548 00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:25,440 Speaker 1: that detail because they wanted to say Biden's not weak. 549 00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:28,000 Speaker 1: Trump did the same thing. Well, you know what, you 550 00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:30,120 Speaker 1: can't shoot down a balloon that you're not aware at 551 00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:36,000 Speaker 1: the time it's there. And so he deliberately either leaked 552 00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:40,719 Speaker 1: or potentially declassified the documents. So Colin Call has a 553 00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:43,280 Speaker 1: history of doing both of playing fast and loose with 554 00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:46,320 Speaker 1: classified documents, but in this case doing it in a 555 00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:51,760 Speaker 1: very misleading way. Because the story ran everywhere. This happened 556 00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:55,280 Speaker 1: three times under Trump, and he did nothing without including 557 00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:59,120 Speaker 1: the really critical fact that they were unaware of it 558 00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:02,080 Speaker 1: at the time, and the government only found out later. 559 00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:06,360 Speaker 1: This is a big deal, and there's a reason every 560 00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:10,479 Speaker 1: single Republican in the Senate voted against confirming Colin Call 561 00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:15,960 Speaker 1: because he's a partisan activist rather than someone taking seriously 562 00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:18,719 Speaker 1: the job of defending this nation. And look, this goes 563 00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:22,240 Speaker 1: right back to where the podcast started. In law school, 564 00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:25,480 Speaker 1: whether you're on the left or right, you're training to 565 00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:27,600 Speaker 1: become an attorney, a member of the bar. You're training 566 00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:30,360 Speaker 1: to acquire skills. You're training to learn how to think 567 00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:32,480 Speaker 1: like a lawyer. You're training to be able to represent 568 00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:35,120 Speaker 1: a client in front of a judge, even a judge 569 00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:37,680 Speaker 1: you disagree with, even a judge who may rule against 570 00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:41,719 Speaker 1: your client, even if in look in a capital murder case, 571 00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:45,080 Speaker 1: it could be a judge who might sentence your clients 572 00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:50,520 Speaker 1: to death. You have a very serious responsibility as an advocate, 573 00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:53,920 Speaker 1: as a member of the bar. Those Stanford Law students 574 00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:58,160 Speaker 1: are demonstrating their unfit to carry that responsibility in the 575 00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:02,279 Speaker 1: defense department. Like Wise, if you're charged with defending this 576 00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:06,280 Speaker 1: nation from our enemies, it is a grave and serious responsibility. 577 00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:10,600 Speaker 1: And this is another example where you put hardcore partisans 578 00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:16,600 Speaker 1: into their those positions, they elevate their partisanship above the 579 00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:21,200 Speaker 1: seriousness of their responsibility, and in this instance, leak classified 580 00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:27,000 Speaker 1: information and do so affirmatively, misleadingly. I feel like I 581 00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:30,040 Speaker 1: asked you this question far too often. Will he get 582 00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:33,880 Speaker 1: in trouble for this or leaking this? It's still a 583 00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:36,000 Speaker 1: hard court no, because the same people are in charge 584 00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:38,960 Speaker 1: of the deep state, the Biden White House wants him 585 00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:42,160 Speaker 1: to do this. I suspect the Biden white House was 586 00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:47,160 Speaker 1: celebrating this is These are the same people that wrote 587 00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:51,560 Speaker 1: the Biden budget. These are hard partisans that Biden has 588 00:35:51,600 --> 00:35:57,120 Speaker 1: populated this administration with. And so I suspect they were 589 00:35:57,160 --> 00:36:01,640 Speaker 1: giving him high fives because when all the the news 590 00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:05,560 Speaker 1: began covering oh Trump did the same thing, suddenly their 591 00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:09,600 Speaker 1: prr PR crisis, they had a reprieve from it. And 592 00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:13,400 Speaker 1: look we talked about on the pod how the entire 593 00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:16,960 Speaker 1: Chinese spy balloon the Biden White House didn't treat as 594 00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:19,600 Speaker 1: a national security matter, didn't treat as an espionage matter. 595 00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:22,880 Speaker 1: It treated as a public relations matter. It treated as 596 00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:29,040 Speaker 1: a communications endeavor. It's why, after Biden's weakness was exposed 597 00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:32,200 Speaker 1: by allowing the spy balloon to complete its mission. He 598 00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:35,160 Speaker 1: shot down three random things in the sky that we 599 00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:37,520 Speaker 1: still don't know what they are. You know, we think 600 00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:40,239 Speaker 1: one of them was like a high school science project 601 00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:43,080 Speaker 1: that he sent a four hundred thousand dollars missile to 602 00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:47,160 Speaker 1: shoot down a twelve dollars balloon. But the purpose wasn't 603 00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:50,160 Speaker 1: to take it out. The purpose was to have a 604 00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:53,960 Speaker 1: press release. See tough van Biden him shoot thing down. 605 00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:59,040 Speaker 1: These are not people who are serious about protecting America. 606 00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:05,719 Speaker 1: These are partisans engaged in public relations who believe in violence. 607 00:37:06,760 --> 00:37:10,360 Speaker 1: Look when the Stanford Law students are screaming down the judge, 608 00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:14,040 Speaker 1: that's no different than the rioters and protesters that show 609 00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:18,560 Speaker 1: up at the homes of justices, screaming and threatening their families. 610 00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:22,120 Speaker 1: And Merrick Garland, the Attorney General, refuses to enforce the 611 00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:25,000 Speaker 1: law and prosecute them even though it's a federal crime. 612 00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:29,520 Speaker 1: Merrick Garland agrees with them, and Biden agrees with them, 613 00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:31,640 Speaker 1: and you can see what it is. And those screaming 614 00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:34,320 Speaker 1: students at Stanford Law School couldn't. I couldn't agree with 615 00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:36,799 Speaker 1: you more, Senator, always a pleasure. I'm going to get 616 00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:39,319 Speaker 1: to do one bonus thing here I'm trying to get 617 00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:41,920 Speaker 1: the senator in a golf a little bit. A Texan 618 00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:45,560 Speaker 1: has won the fifth Major the Players, But the fool 619 00:37:45,640 --> 00:37:50,000 Speaker 1: story is Center this real quick is Scottie Scheffler, a Texan. 620 00:37:50,520 --> 00:37:55,399 Speaker 1: His eighty eight year old grandmother walked every single hole 621 00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:59,120 Speaker 1: with him this week, all seventy two holes. At eighty 622 00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:02,600 Speaker 1: eight years old. He's bringing back the players to Texas. 623 00:38:02,719 --> 00:38:04,680 Speaker 1: I thought that was a cool note to end on 624 00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:08,200 Speaker 1: age is just a number. Clearly this grandmother and she's 625 00:38:08,239 --> 00:38:10,480 Speaker 1: been following him all week. I love stories. When you 626 00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:15,359 Speaker 1: see him like this, that's spectacular and a good thing 627 00:38:15,880 --> 00:38:18,280 Speaker 1: to feel good story, no doubt about it.
