1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:04,600
Speaker 1: The Michael Berry Show. Senator John Kennedy from Louisiana is

2
00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:08,480
Speaker 1: always good for a SoundBite. He might not vote the

3
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:12,240
Speaker 1: way we would like him to vote many many times

4
00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:14,280
Speaker 1: because he will sell us down the river. Some of you,

5
00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:16,919
Speaker 1: I love John Kennedy. Yeah, he's good for a sound bite,

6
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:20,480
Speaker 1: but when push comes to shove, he votes wrong very often.

7
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:23,640
Speaker 1: He's a he's a reliable Mitch McConnell, John Cornyn voter.

8
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:26,280
Speaker 1: Don't believe me. Go look at the votes. I spend

9
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:27,600
Speaker 1: time on the votes. Most people don't.

10
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:28,680
Speaker 2: I like him.

11
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:30,360
Speaker 1: If I like him and he says good things, he

12
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:33,440
Speaker 1: must be a good, good guy. Huh mm hmm. But

13
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:38,320
Speaker 1: he's good for a sound bite. Here is him questioning

14
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:42,959
Speaker 1: Professor Mary Ann Franks during the hearing on the censorship

15
00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:44,920
Speaker 1: Industrial Complex.

16
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:46,440
Speaker 2: This is pretty good.

17
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:49,159
Speaker 1: This is John Kennedy at his best.

18
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:54,280
Speaker 2: Is I understanding your position, Professor Franks? Is that I

19
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 2: think use you use the word myth. It is a

20
00:00:57,080 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 2: myth that the Biden administration used government to compel speech

21
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 2: private speech, but the Trump administration is doing that. It

22
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 2: is not a fair characterization.

23
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:13,919
Speaker 3: Yes, that's correct.

24
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 2: Okay. Do you think perhaps you're allowing your personal political

25
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 2: beliefs to affect your objectivity.

26
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 3: Here, No, I do not.

27
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:29,199
Speaker 4: What is guiding my answers here is that I'm looking

28
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 4: to see what the Supreme Court has said. You notice

29
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 4: that in the testimony about the censorship Industrial Compact.

30
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 2: Oh, but I've only got five minutes your answers knows.

31
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:45,119
Speaker 2: I appreciate it. Let me ask you a couple of questions.

32
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 2: You wrote a larview article in December of twenty twenty

33
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 2: three for the New York University of Law Review, and

34
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 2: it was about the two cases Bruin Spring Court case

35
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 2: and Dobbs. Remember that article?

36
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 3: Yes, I did, okay.

37
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:11,240
Speaker 2: In this article you said, I'm going to quote your words.

38
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:16,639
Speaker 2: Taken together, these two cases demonstrate that the Supreme Court

39
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 2: has embraced the use of the Constitution as a tool

40
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 2: of racial patriarchy. End quote. Did you say that, yes, okay?

41
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 2: And then you went on to say, quote, when the

42
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 2: Supreme Court declares that there is a constitutional right to

43
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:39,959
Speaker 2: armed self defense in public, it openly embraces and promotes

44
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:44,920
Speaker 2: a culture that privileges white men's ability to terrorize and

45
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 2: kill those that they perceive as threats. Close quote. Did

46
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:51,240
Speaker 2: I read that quiet correctly?

47
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 3: I believe so thank you for reading.

48
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 2: Okay? And did you also say in that article, I'm

49
00:02:55,880 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 2: going to quote again quote. By simultaneously expanding white men's

50
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 2: right to kill and constricting women's right not to die,

51
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 2: this Supreme Court referring to the current United States Supreme

52
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 2: Court has turned the Constitution into a homicide pact as well.

53
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 2: Close quote. Did you write.

54
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:21,240
Speaker 3: That that sounds like me?

55
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 2: Okay? In November of twenty twenty four, you tweet, don't you.

56
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 4: I'm not sure what the current terminology is for it,

57
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 4: but yes, I am sometimes on the social platform that

58
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 4: was formerly known as Twitter.

59
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're on a lot, aren't you.

60
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 3: I'm not sure what the relevance of that is.

61
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 2: You're trying to be provocative on there, don't you?

62
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 3: Again? I am not sure what the relative Well, let

63
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 3: me let me.

64
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 2: Let me show you the relevance. On November seventh, twenty

65
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 2: twenty four, from your tweet, here's one of your tweets

66
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 2: at two forty one pm. Quote, the majority of Americans

67
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 2: hate when the majority of Americans hate women more than

68
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 2: they love anything, including democracy? Close quote? Did I read

69
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 2: that correctly?

70
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 4: I am not sure what this has to do with

71
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 4: the subject matter of this did you say it. I

72
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:17,240
Speaker 4: do not have those words in front of me. I

73
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 4: probably said something in those lines.

74
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 2: But what is the figures Dallas right there? Yes, but

75
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 2: your political beliefs don't impact your feelings about President Biden

76
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:32,159
Speaker 2: or President Trump.

77
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:33,840
Speaker 3: I don't have feelings about either them.

78
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 2: What I have to me like you have your favorite

79
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:41,360
Speaker 2: feelings anger, Let me ask you this. You issued another tweet.

80
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 2: This was in May of twenty and twenty two. You've

81
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 2: just been tweeting up a storm. You said, quote, there's

82
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:53,920
Speaker 2: a reason why the conservative dominated Supreme Court thinks the

83
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 2: Constitution did not contact, does not contain the right to

84
00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:01,919
Speaker 2: an abortion, but is convinced so it contains an individual

85
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 2: right to possess firearms. And that reason is white male supremacy.

86
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 2: Close quote. Did I read that correctly?

87
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 3: Is there a question in this?

88
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 2: Do not read that correctly?

89
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:17,039
Speaker 3: Is the question that is relevant to this hearing?

90
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:20,919
Speaker 2: Did that read that correctly? Do you really think that

91
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 2: the United States Supreme Court, you're an officer of the court,

92
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:27,480
Speaker 2: is guided by white male supremacy.

93
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:31,479
Speaker 4: I believe that the First Amendment prohibits the president did

94
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 4: other state battles for punishing people for.

95
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 2: You honestly say that professor as a democratic witness to

96
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 2: take you seriously? Are you kidding me?

97
