1
00:00:01,560 --> 00:00:04,600
Speaker 1: Welcome. It is Verdict with Center, Ted Cruz Ben Ferguson

2
00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:06,920
Speaker 1: with you, and we've got quite a few issues to

3
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:10,920
Speaker 1: talk about, including some fireworks that happen in the Judiciary

4
00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:15,000
Speaker 1: Committee over some nominees and some people that just flat

5
00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:17,840
Speaker 1: out aren't qualified. What are the Democrats doing. We're going

6
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:20,800
Speaker 1: to take you behind the scenes to what happened there,

7
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:23,320
Speaker 1: why this is so important for this country. Coming up

8
00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:26,880
Speaker 1: in just a moment. Also, the Center makes I think

9
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:30,760
Speaker 1: what may be his debut in Hollywood in a new

10
00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:33,159
Speaker 1: movie that's at will tell you about that coming up

11
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:35,920
Speaker 1: in just a moment. But before we get to that Center,

12
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:38,440
Speaker 1: I want to get your reaction to some news that broke.

13
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:43,560
Speaker 1: Special Counsel Jack Smith seems to be putting together together

14
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:47,800
Speaker 1: an enemies list, and quite a few listeners of this

15
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:52,000
Speaker 1: podcast may be on that list. He has demanded that

16
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:56,400
Speaker 1: x formerly known as Twitter, is to give all information

17
00:00:56,760 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 1: on all Americans who interacted with Donald J. Trump on

18
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 1: Twitter between October of twenty twenty while he was the

19
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:11,040
Speaker 1: President of the United States of America to January of

20
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:15,760
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one. This would include people that did something

21
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:19,680
Speaker 1: as simple as liking a tweet of the president of

22
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 1: the United States of America. Your reaction to this heavily

23
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:29,319
Speaker 1: redacted search warrant requesting everyone's intel that interacted with Trump.

24
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:34,679
Speaker 2: It's completely outrageous. The Biden Justice Department wants information about

25
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:38,400
Speaker 2: you and you mentioned an enemy's list. That's exactly what

26
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 2: they're compiling. That they have literally served on Twitter a

27
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 2: search warrant that demands every single person who liked a

28
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 2: tweet from Trump or who retweeted a tweet from Trump

29
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 2: between October twenty twenty and January twenty twenty one. I

30
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 2: am quite certain I liked her, retweeted multiple tweets. I'm

31
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 2: quite certain you liked r retweeted multiple tweets. So you

32
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 2: and I are both on the enemy's list, and so

33
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 2: is anybody else that they're basically trying to compile a

34
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 2: list of the social media of every Trump voter, and

35
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 2: not even voter. It's just if you had something positive

36
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:21,920
Speaker 2: to say about the president, the Biden DOJY wants to

37
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 2: know it. And they're also asking for quote all associated

38
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 2: logs and metadata, which could cover location data as well.

39
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 2: And so understand that they're asking for the physical location

40
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 2: of every person who said something positive about Donald Trump.

41
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 2: On Twitter between October of twenty twenty and January of

42
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 2: twenty twenty one. That is wildly overbroad. It is not

43
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 2: related to anything remotely within the scope of the indictment

44
00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 2: and what they're trying to prosecute Trump for, and the

45
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 2: prosecution itself, as we've discussed at great length, is bogus.

46
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:07,079
Speaker 2: But this is an example. Look, this is a political

47
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:13,079
Speaker 2: fishing expedition. They want to know every American, every American citizen,

48
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 2: every American voter who dare say something positive about Trump,

49
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 2: the Biden DOJ wants to know your name.

50
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 1: This is something that you see in other countries like

51
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:28,360
Speaker 1: China for example, and Russia for example, and other nations

52
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:31,800
Speaker 1: where you have dictators and tyrants where they will one

53
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 1: hundred percent constantly be tracking, following and looking at every

54
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 1: word that the citizens are saying. And what we also

55
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 1: know is that Twitter initially delayed complying with this request

56
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 1: per the New York Posts, resulting in a three hundred

57
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 1: and fifty thousand dollars fine levied against the company. What's

58
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 1: also shocking about this warrant who comes in and I

59
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 1: do think we need to remind people of exactly how

60
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 1: radical and who this Special Counsel Jack Smith is because

61
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 1: the warrant Center also requests quote all IP addresses associated

62
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 1: with the president he was the president at the time

63
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 1: his account, as well as a list of all devices

64
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:20,280
Speaker 1: used to log into it. This means that any staffer,

65
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 1: any aide who log into the account would have the

66
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 1: information divulge to the special prosecutor. And this isn't after

67
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 1: Donald Trump left office. This is spying on the president

68
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 1: and his staff. Wow, he was the president of the

69
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:37,040
Speaker 1: United States of America.

70
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 2: Well, look, and this is very much consistent with the

71
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 2: abuse of power we've seen from the Biden DOJ and

72
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 2: from Democrats. The four indictments against Donald Trump are all

73
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:52,920
Speaker 2: about weaponizing the Department of Justice, weaponizing local Democrat DA's

74
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 2: to go after an attack the leading candidate for president

75
00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 2: on the Republican side right now. And and you know,

76
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:04,360
Speaker 2: this is very much also in the spirit of the

77
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 2: abusive Fulty Fulton County indictment, where where the prosecutor there

78
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:16,479
Speaker 2: alleges that they've indicted a number of people on rico

79
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 2: counts and the basis for that are one of the

80
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 2: significant bases they rely upon. It are individual tweets that

81
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:27,719
Speaker 2: Trump sent and the theory is that the President of

82
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:32,719
Speaker 2: the United States sending a tweet was somehow racketeering, that

83
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 2: it was violated the Rico laws. This is wacky stuff.

84
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 2: This is not Oh, that's a reasonable argument that I mean,

85
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 2: saying that the President of the United States, by sending

86
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 2: a tweet is committing a felony is utterly bizarre and

87
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:54,119
Speaker 2: it demonstrates a contempt for free speech. Look, the President

88
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 2: of the United States has a free speech right to

89
00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 2: send tweets. You may not like his tweets. You don't

90
00:05:58,400 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 2: have to read his tweets if you don't like him.

91
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 2: But Democrats have number one when it comes to Trump.

92
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 2: Just their brains are broken. They hate him so much

93
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:13,839
Speaker 2: that they now believe, apparently that his sending a tweet

94
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 2: is a criminal act. And they also want to know

95
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:18,280
Speaker 2: if you send a tweet. And by the way, on

96
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:21,720
Speaker 2: the same theory, I don't know if maybe retweeting Trump

97
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 2: in their twisted world is a criminal act. What it

98
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:32,840
Speaker 2: demonstrates is a political obsession, a willingness to abuse power,

99
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 2: a grotesque over breadth, and a complete contempt for free

100
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:41,039
Speaker 2: speech in the First Amendment.

101
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:44,160
Speaker 1: There's also another aspect of this, and that is look,

102
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:47,919
Speaker 1: You've done this. I've done this. I've retweeted people that

103
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:51,119
Speaker 1: I disagree with to bring light to something that they've

104
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:54,920
Speaker 1: said that I think is egregious or just incompetent, or

105
00:06:55,760 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 1: maybe even just laughable. I shouldn't be dragged into a

106
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 1: special counsel's you know, obsession over that individual just because I,

107
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 1: on a public forum retweeted someone that I disagree with.

108
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 1: I've retweeted AOC and Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama and

109
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 1: Joe Biden countless times with things that they've said. And

110
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 1: now there's liberals in the media that I've retweeted before

111
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 1: that shouldn't give them the right to then come look

112
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 1: at what I've been doing because somehow it's connected to

113
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 1: that individual. Or am I wrong?

114
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 2: You're not wrong, but this is it's an enemy's list,

115
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 2: it is it is an abuse of power from d

116
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 2: OJ and Jack Smith is is he is captain a

117
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 2: have and he is going after his white whale, and

118
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 2: he is going to try to plunge a harpoon into

119
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 2: Donald Trump and he wants to kill him no matter what.

120
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 2: It is his obsession and by the way, that's why

121
00:07:56,960 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 2: Merrick Garland appointed Jack Smith to that position because they

122
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 2: want they want to frustrate democracy. And this is where

123
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 2: you Bennett, it's actually amazing. The radical left has an

124
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 2: almost Freudian projection. Whatever they accuse you of doing is

125
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 2: in fact what they are doing, so that the standard

126
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 2: Democrat talking point nowadays is they're defending democracy. They're defenders

127
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 2: of democracy. That's what this election is about. Joe Biden

128
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:33,680
Speaker 2: loves saying that the reason for these indictments are because

129
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 2: the Democrats are terrified of democracy. The reason for these

130
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:42,839
Speaker 2: indictments is the Democrats are terrified that the voters come

131
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 2: November will go in and vote for Donald Trump. And

132
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 2: so they're trying to use the justice system to destroy

133
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:56,079
Speaker 2: the leading Republican candidate. Why because they want to interfere

134
00:08:56,080 --> 00:09:00,960
Speaker 2: with the election. They want to stop democracy from ourad.

135
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,880
Speaker 1: There's also an invasion of privacy aspect of this. So

136
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:05,679
Speaker 1: I'm going to talk about something else that's in this

137
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:08,040
Speaker 1: warrant in just a moment that deals with that. But

138
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:09,600
Speaker 1: first let me tell you about our friends over at

139
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:12,719
Speaker 1: Patriot Mobile. For ten years, Patriot Mobile has been America's

140
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 1: only Christian conservative wireless provider. And when I say only

141
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 1: trust me, they really are the only one. The team

142
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:22,840
Speaker 1: at Patriot Mobile put this coming together so that you

143
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:26,960
Speaker 1: could stop giving your money to woke big mobile companies

144
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 1: to give massive donations to democrats and massive donations to

145
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 1: organizations like Planned Parenthood. Patriot Mobile also offers dependable nationwide coverage,

146
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:41,560
Speaker 1: giving you the ability to access all three major networks.

147
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 1: What does that mean. It means you get the same

148
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 1: coverage that you're accustomed to without funding the left's agenda.

149
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 1: And when you switch to Patriot Mobile, you're sending a

150
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:56,080
Speaker 1: clear message that you support free speech, religious freedom, the

151
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 1: sanctity of life, the Second Amendment, as well as our military,

152
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:02,559
Speaker 1: our veteran into our first responder heroes in this country.

153
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 1: They have one hundred percent US based customer service team

154
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 1: that also makes switching easy, and you get to keep

155
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:11,240
Speaker 1: your same cell phone number if you want to. You

156
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:13,200
Speaker 1: get to keep your same phone you have right now

157
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 1: or upgrade to a new one. And every month when

158
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:18,560
Speaker 1: you pay your bill, a portion of your bill goes

159
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 1: back to support conservative causes and no extra cost to you.

160
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 1: So stop giving your mind awoke companies and switch to

Speaker 1: to two Patriot, Patriotmobile dot com, slash verdict centat. There

166
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:51,960
Speaker 1: was also something else in this warren as we were

167
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,840
Speaker 1: getting some of this information that was coming in that

168
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,280
Speaker 1: was very alarming to me. And it's and it's a

169
00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:00,240
Speaker 1: it's a free speech, but also a invasion in a

170
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:03,719
Speaker 1: privacy aspect, especially when you're talking about them wanting to

171
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:06,360
Speaker 1: get this information on who was then sitting president of

172
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 1: the United States of America, and that was this quote

173
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:11,600
Speaker 1: all information and this is what the warrant had in

174
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:17,440
Speaker 1: it on Trump's quote. Connect and notification tabs within the

175
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 1: Twitter app was requested, as well as his entire search history,

176
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:27,320
Speaker 1: all of the people that he blocked on Twitter, anyone

177
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:29,520
Speaker 1: that he didn't block, but you can mute so you

178
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 1: don't see their tweets. And the most shocking part was

179
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:39,319
Speaker 1: this even drafted tweets that he never sent out. How

180
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:43,200
Speaker 1: can they justify that type of invasion of his privacy.

181
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:48,080
Speaker 2: Well, they're engaged in a phishing expedition, I will say,

182
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 2: given that there is an active indictment against Trump, that

183
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:59,600
Speaker 2: electronic information that they can probably get. And that's you know,

184
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 2: if if you've been indicted and have a criminal prosecution

185
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:06,960
Speaker 2: against you, and and you have electronic records that are

186
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:10,720
Speaker 2: arguably relevant to the case, that the prosecution can get

187
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 2: those And where the warrant goes wildly overboard. Is extending

188
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:21,120
Speaker 2: not just a Trump who is now criminal defendant and

189
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:28,079
Speaker 2: has to defend himself, but it's extending to eighty million Americans.

190
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:31,600
Speaker 2: It's it's it's extending to every American who'd hit retweet

191
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 2: or or or like for a period of three months

192
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 2: on any Trump tweets. I mean, that's that's insanely overbroad.

193
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:44,079
Speaker 2: I will note also that the warrant instructed Twitter not

194
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:50,080
Speaker 2: to notify Trump of the search order. That that is normal.

195
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 1: Is that a normal way of a warrant reading or

196
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:55,000
Speaker 1: is that also egregious? And then the way that they

197
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 1: describe it.

198
00:12:56,080 --> 00:13:01,320
Speaker 2: You know, it depends and what is so Twitter went

199
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 2: and argued and tried to fight this, and Jack Smith

200
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:09,560
Speaker 2: in court argued, quote, there is reason to believe notification

201
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:13,960
Speaker 2: to the former president, a sophisticated actor with an expansive platform,

202
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 2: would result in a statutorily cognizable harm. The non disclosure

203
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 2: order was granted based on facts showing that notifying the

204
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:27,000
Speaker 2: former president would result in destruction of or tampering with evidence,

205
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 2: intimidation of potential witnesses, or other serious jeopardy to an

206
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:37,040
Speaker 2: investigation or delaying of trial. Look, if you're seeking someone's

207
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:40,520
Speaker 2: electronic records, that's not that unusual to say. Don't like

208
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 2: if they someone goes after your bank records, it's not

209
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:47,080
Speaker 2: that unusual that they would not notify you of it.

210
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:52,200
Speaker 2: What is unusual is going after every other person who

211
00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:54,360
Speaker 2: was not involved in the case in any way at all,

212
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 2: and getting the record of every time Ben Ferguson liked

213
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 2: Donald Trump. That is completely overbroad.

214
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 1: I have to say, I want to give some credit

215
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 1: here to x slash Twitter. Not only did they initially

216
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:13,559
Speaker 1: delay complying with this request that resulted in a three

217
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:16,600
Speaker 1: hundred free thousand dollars fine, but they also went to

218
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 1: court trying to stop this abuse of power. And I

219
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 1: think that's something that should not be overlooked in this story,

220
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 1: that they were trying to protect the users and they

221
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 1: realized I think how egregious this was, and they deserve

222
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 1: to I think give a lot of us, a lot

223
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:35,360
Speaker 1: of us. You appreciate the fact that Elon Musk didn't

224
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:37,840
Speaker 1: just say come on in, here's the books, grab whatever

225
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 1: you want and said no, no, no, we're gonna fight you.

226
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 1: This is not okay.

227
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:47,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, fully agree, And I think Twitter or x they

228
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:51,680
Speaker 2: handled it exactly right. But this Biden DOJ. This is

229
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:55,720
Speaker 2: a political Department of Justice, and it's doing enormous and

230
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:59,680
Speaker 2: ongoing damage to the integrity of DJ and and of

231
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:06,360
Speaker 2: the of law. Politicized prosecutions and weaponizing criminal prosecutions that

232
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:08,680
Speaker 2: does big, big damage.

233
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 1: I want to move on also to some other news,

234
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 1: and it is not really hit outside of what happened

235
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 1: within the Senate Judiciary Committee, and there was a lot

236
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:21,800
Speaker 1: of fireworks that happened the Senate Judiciary Committee this morning.

237
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 1: We're taping this late obviously on Thursday evening, but explain

238
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:30,880
Speaker 1: what was going on in the Senate Judiciary Committee and

239
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:34,800
Speaker 1: what was happening there. As The Hills headline was Senate

240
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:39,360
Speaker 1: gop stages hearing walk out to protest Supreme Court related subpoenas.

241
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 1: Lindsey Graham slam Democrats, John Cornyn blasting Democrat Senator Dick Durbin.

242
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:49,840
Speaker 1: You were blasting and defending your colleague Senater John Kennedy

243
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 1: and ripping apart the Senate Democrats for consistently serving a

244
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:58,280
Speaker 1: rubber stamp, as you described it. So tell us how

245
00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:00,120
Speaker 1: this all happened and kind of out of nowhere.

246
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:03,720
Speaker 2: Well, we began the day with a markup in the

247
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:08,480
Speaker 2: Senate Judiciary Committee, and it began by the Senate Judiciary

248
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:12,440
Speaker 2: Committee voting on two judges that actually Democrats had voted

249
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:15,040
Speaker 2: out a committee before, but one of the Democrats was

250
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:17,320
Speaker 2: not physically present in the room, and so that we

251
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 2: didn't have a quorum, and so they screwed it up

252
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:22,000
Speaker 2: last time, they had to go back and do it again.

253
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 2: And then there were also other judges that were up

254
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:28,320
Speaker 2: up for being voted on. And on top of that,

255
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 2: the Democrats were seeking to issue subpoenas to go after

256
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:38,080
Speaker 2: Leonard Leo, who was a long time with a Federalist society,

257
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:42,560
Speaker 2: very active in judicial matters and judicial selection, a very

258
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 2: long time friend of mine, and to go after Harlan Crowe,

259
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:50,120
Speaker 2: a very successful Texas businessman who is very close friends

260
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 2: with Clarence Thomas. And so we had over two hours

261
00:16:55,120 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 2: of fireworks, I mean it. Judiciary is always vigorous. It's

262
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:05,159
Speaker 2: a little bit like the Roman colisseum where you get,

263
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:10,440
Speaker 2: you know, strong partisan warriors on both sides of the aisle.

264
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:13,280
Speaker 2: They go at it a lot. That being said, what

265
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:17,119
Speaker 2: happened today was really extraordinary. So we started off that

266
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 2: Dick Durbin, that the chairman of the committee wanted to

267
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:22,560
Speaker 2: vote on the two nominees that he screwed up last

268
00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:26,439
Speaker 2: time and didn't have a quorum for. And a number

269
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:30,000
Speaker 2: of Republican senators wanted to speak. John Cordon wanted to speak,

270
00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:32,800
Speaker 2: John Kennedy wanted to speak, Marsha Blackburn wanted to speak,

271
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:35,680
Speaker 2: and Durbin just plowed right over them, just said, shut up, no,

272
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:38,160
Speaker 2: you can't speak. You can't speak on these judges. We're

273
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:42,560
Speaker 2: just voting. And it was It was a remarkable thing.

274
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:46,719
Speaker 1: It's something that's not the normal course of business, that

275
00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:51,080
Speaker 1: doesn't happen correct on a normal normally. That's abnormal, right.

276
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:56,199
Speaker 2: It is wildly abnormal. I've never seen it anymore. John Cornon,

277
00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 2: who usually does not get all that excited or worked

278
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:01,720
Speaker 2: up here, that's what he said to durban He said, quote,

279
00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:04,840
Speaker 2: you just destroyed one of the most important committees in

280
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:08,960
Speaker 2: the United States Senate. Congratulations on destroying the United States

281
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:15,080
Speaker 2: Senate Judiciary Committee to try to silence your opponents. Well,

282
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:22,240
Speaker 2: it reflects the arbitrary abuse of power that characterizes the

283
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:28,679
Speaker 2: Biden DOJ and characterizes the Senate Democrats. We also saw

284
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:36,440
Speaker 2: Senate Democrats once again just just rubber stamp nominees. And

285
00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:40,639
Speaker 2: and you know, I was unloading in particular on a

286
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:44,919
Speaker 2: nominee out of Connecticut who has a really radical record.

287
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:50,280
Speaker 2: She signed a letter during COVID urging the governor of

288
00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:54,960
Speaker 2: Connecticut to release as many prisoners as possible from jail,

289
00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:59,240
Speaker 2: and by the way, with no distinction to whether they're violent.

290
00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:03,200
Speaker 2: And the letter, among other things, called on the governor

291
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:08,400
Speaker 2: to release one hundred percent all of the prisoners in

292
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:12,240
Speaker 2: pre trialed attention. So if you've been arrested, say for murder,

293
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:15,879
Speaker 2: this nominee was saying, well, we should just let you

294
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:18,680
Speaker 2: go if you arrested for rape or child molesting, all

295
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:23,400
Speaker 2: of them. And and that's really a radical, radical position.

296
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:26,280
Speaker 2: And so so I unloaded on the Democrats for being

297
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:30,199
Speaker 2: so extreme, so out of step, and and and in

298
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 2: fact I suggested to them, I said, look, just because

299
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:37,320
Speaker 2: you're Democrats, doesn't mean that you have to just roll

300
00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 2: over and and and rubber stamp whatever it is the

301
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:45,000
Speaker 2: Biden White House wants. And I point it out as Republicans,

302
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:47,679
Speaker 2: we didn't do that to Donald Trump. And in particular,

303
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:51,320
Speaker 2: you know, I invoked the well known bracelets that some

304
00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:55,239
Speaker 2: people wear w W JD what would Jesus do? And

305
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:57,800
Speaker 2: I said, look in the Senate Judiciary Committee, let me

306
00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:00,560
Speaker 2: suggest a modification on that, which is, y'all ought to

307
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:04,760
Speaker 2: wear a bracelet that says ww jk D, which is

308
00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:08,040
Speaker 2: what would John Kennedy do? And the reason I use

309
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:13,960
Speaker 2: that analogy is that John Kennedy multiple times with Trump,

310
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:19,400
Speaker 2: judges had withering cross examinations, and for judges who were

311
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:27,080
Speaker 2: not qualified, those cross examinations resulted in those nominees being defeated.

312
00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:30,200
Speaker 2: And I was telling the Democrats, you know, you actually

313
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:32,520
Speaker 2: can behave like a senator. You don't just have to

314
00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:34,960
Speaker 2: be puppets of the White House.

315
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 1: But yeah, not a one way. Well, let's play a

316
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:40,080
Speaker 1: few of these clips because they're important, and I want

317
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:41,960
Speaker 1: people to be able to hear what was happening, because

318
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:45,000
Speaker 1: this is a room filled with a lot of tense moments.

319
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:46,280
Speaker 1: And here's a few of those.

320
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:50,080
Speaker 2: Constitution gives this body the power of advice and consent,

321
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:53,679
Speaker 2: but it only works if people have the backbone to

322
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 2: use it. If you view your job as I'm a

323
00:20:57,119 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 2: rubber stamp for the Biden White House, whoever they send us. Look,

324
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:03,600
Speaker 2: the Democrats on this committee have already signed off on

325
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:05,680
Speaker 2: three nominees of the Department of Justice who want to

326
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:10,119
Speaker 2: abolish the police. You've already signed off on a radical

327
00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:14,480
Speaker 2: judge who describes himself as his own words, as a

328
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:17,080
Speaker 2: quote wild eyed liberal says he wakes up every morning

329
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:20,080
Speaker 2: motivated by hatred for conservatives. He's a federal judge in

330
00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 2: New York. God help you. If you're a conservative and

331
00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:26,240
Speaker 2: you're in his court, you go sit there, your honor,

332
00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:29,080
Speaker 2: he realized your honor. Woke up that morning motivated by

333
00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:32,680
Speaker 2: hatred of you. But every Democrat thought thought that was fine.

334
00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:34,200
Speaker 2: That looks a good judge to us.

335
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:37,160
Speaker 1: That was one of your best moments. And then, as

336
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:39,960
Speaker 1: you mentioned, you were talking about John Kennedy and reminding

337
00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:43,960
Speaker 1: that Republicans have held their own to a higher standard

338
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:44,679
Speaker 1: as well.

339
00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:48,000
Speaker 2: Because John Kennedy actually respects what it means to be

340
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 2: a judge. He's spent too many times, too much time

341
00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:52,720
Speaker 2: in too many court rooms to know. If you have

342
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:56,240
Speaker 2: a jackass who doesn't know what he's doing or an

343
00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:59,399
Speaker 2: ideologue on the bench, it's bad for the rule of law.

344
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:03,960
Speaker 2: And you all remember John Kennedy torpedo Trump judge after

345
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:06,879
Speaker 2: Trump dards. We had a lot of great judges, but

346
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:09,639
Speaker 2: we had some that weren't great. And the ones that

347
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:12,920
Speaker 2: weren't great, the Republicans on this committee said, no, go

348
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:17,680
Speaker 2: back and do it again. Is there even a single

349
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:21,960
Speaker 2: Democrat who could look at that bracelet? What would John

350
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:26,640
Speaker 2: Kennedy do and say, you know what, a judge who

351
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:29,919
Speaker 2: calls for releasing every violent criminal in the state of

352
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:39,120
Speaker 2: Connecticut who's on pre trial containment, that shouldn't be a judge.

353
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:42,199
Speaker 1: Did it change the demeanor of the room when you

354
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:44,600
Speaker 1: were talking that bluntley and reminding them of the facts

355
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:47,160
Speaker 1: that hey, we've gotten rid of some of our own

356
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:50,240
Speaker 1: bad nominees or with it just nope, we're Democrats and

357
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 1: we're going to just keep doing exactly what we do,

358
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:53,480
Speaker 1: and you guys need to shut up.

359
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:57,000
Speaker 2: So the amazing thing is the Democrats don't engage at

360
00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:00,600
Speaker 2: all when I'm talking. They're all looking down, they're looking

361
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:02,720
Speaker 2: at their feet, they're looking at their phones. They don't

362
00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:05,760
Speaker 2: look up, they don't engage. None of them respond on

363
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:08,200
Speaker 2: the merits to anything you say. Uh. You know what,

364
00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:13,119
Speaker 2: I point out, this this radical uh judge's record, And

365
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:16,159
Speaker 2: I pointed out I went down down the road. I said, listen,

366
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:19,960
Speaker 2: I don't care how how blue your states are. You

367
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:23,280
Speaker 2: know some of the Democrats there, they're from Illinois and

368
00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:28,440
Speaker 2: Rhode Island and and uh, Minnesota and New Jersey and

369
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:32,720
Speaker 2: California and Delaware. I said, look, look, I don't care

370
00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:36,040
Speaker 2: how blue your state is. Go to Vermont. Peter Welch

371
00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:39,080
Speaker 2: is from Vermont. Bring you, bring your constituents together, ask

372
00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:42,080
Speaker 2: them if they think it's a good idea to release

373
00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:46,760
Speaker 2: every violent criminal that's being held on pre trial attention,

374
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:50,879
Speaker 2: every murderer, every serial rapist, just let them go. Like

375
00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:54,760
Speaker 2: even in the blue estates they will say that's nutty.

376
00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:59,560
Speaker 2: And this goes back to a theme that we've talked

377
00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:01,639
Speaker 2: about a lot. That I talked about a lot in

378
00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:06,560
Speaker 2: my new book, Unwoke, which is because the media is

379
00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:11,480
Speaker 2: so corrupt, the Democrats know that no matter how egregious

380
00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:15,119
Speaker 2: the votes are they cast, the media won't report on it.

381
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:19,160
Speaker 2: So they'll never get asked back home about the radicals

382
00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:22,000
Speaker 2: they're voting for because it'll never make the six o'clock news.

383
00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:25,520
Speaker 2: CNN won't cover it, The New York Times won't cover it.

384
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:31,480
Speaker 2: It just it disappears. And so they don't have substantive

385
00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:34,439
Speaker 2: responses to these points. They just utterly ignore it. And

386
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:37,000
Speaker 2: as I said today, I said, look the look they

387
00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:42,240
Speaker 2: vote like the Pullit Bureau in the old Soviet Union.

388
00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:45,960
Speaker 2: They just raise their hands and go dah. And in fact,

389
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:48,879
Speaker 2: when it came to voting on this one radical judge,

390
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:51,320
Speaker 2: when it came to me, I decided to vote. Normally

391
00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:53,440
Speaker 2: I would have voted no, but instead I voted yet,

392
00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:58,560
Speaker 2: which did at least get it. Get a couple of chuckles.

393
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:04,000
Speaker 2: They're not a single Democrat. If they have any shame,

394
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:05,800
Speaker 2: they don't demonstrate it.

395
00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:10,760
Speaker 1: I did love the way that Texas was really represented.

396
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:14,600
Speaker 1: You mentioned John Cornyan earlier. He's a guy that doesn't

397
00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:17,600
Speaker 1: usually get that, you know, kind of animate or excited.

398
00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 1: But I want to play this because it was a

399
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:23,360
Speaker 1: great day for all Texans in the Senate, Chairman, you.

400
00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:25,480
Speaker 2: Has not been allowed to speak on that.

401
00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:29,000
Speaker 3: Now, mister Chairman, you just destroyed one of the most

402
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:35,359
Speaker 3: important committees in the United States Senate, Sherwood, and you said,

403
00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:39,520
Speaker 3: a precedent the church will be repeated every time one

404
00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:43,119
Speaker 3: party or the other takes advantage and takes lowgro it

405
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:48,639
Speaker 3: sets a presiden that will then be the norm. Congratulations

406
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:52,680
Speaker 3: on destroying the United States Senate Judiciary Committee.

407
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:55,080
Speaker 1: I mean, you've served with the centat corner for a

408
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:58,040
Speaker 1: long time. That's his I'm pissed voice, and he was

409
00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:00,560
Speaker 1: not going to be interrupted as he was making point.

410
00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:03,160
Speaker 1: And it was a great moment at least for Texas,

411
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:06,920
Speaker 1: especially for citizens here, because you guys were united saying,

412
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:08,680
Speaker 1: and the way he described it, you guys are taking

413
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:10,160
Speaker 1: the low road here, and this is going to come

414
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:11,720
Speaker 1: back to bite you one day.

415
00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:16,160
Speaker 2: Well, look, that's exactly right. And then after the Democrats

416
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:19,280
Speaker 2: rammed these nominees through, they then voted on the subpoenas,

417
00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:22,520
Speaker 2: and they had subpoenas, as I said, for two private citizens.

418
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:24,840
Speaker 2: One of them is Leonard Leo. I've known Leonard for

419
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:28,440
Speaker 2: thirty years. Leonard for years was with a Federalist Society.

420
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:33,520
Speaker 2: I joined the Federalist Society in nineteen ninety two when

421
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:35,679
Speaker 2: I was had just graduated from college and I was

422
00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:38,520
Speaker 2: a first year law student. I joined the Federalist Society

423
00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:40,160
Speaker 2: when I was a first year law student. I've known

424
00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:44,040
Speaker 2: Leonard since that time, since nineteen ninety two, so we've

425
00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:48,760
Speaker 2: been friends for thirty years. He is a principled conservative.

426
00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:54,000
Speaker 2: He has been a warrior fighting for constitutionalists on the bench,

427
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:59,080
Speaker 2: and the Democrats hate him because they don't want constitutionalist

428
00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 2: on the bench. And then they also were voting on

429
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:06,800
Speaker 2: a subpoena for Harlan Crow, someone else I know very

430
00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:10,720
Speaker 2: very well and incredibly successful real estate developer and businessman

431
00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:15,280
Speaker 2: in Texas and Dallas. He and his wife are very

432
00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:19,600
Speaker 2: very close friends with Clarence Thomas and Justice Thomas's wife,

433
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:26,160
Speaker 2: and all of us were horrified at their ongoing campaign,

434
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:31,960
Speaker 2: the Democrats campaign to delegitimize the Supreme Court and in

435
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:35,880
Speaker 2: particular to smear Clarence Thomas, and the attacks that they

436
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:42,240
Speaker 2: directed Clarence Thomas, I think are suffused with racism. That

437
00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:47,840
Speaker 2: four left wing Democrats, they have a hatred for Clarence

438
00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:53,560
Speaker 2: Thomas that is qualitatively different from any other justice on

439
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:57,240
Speaker 2: the Court, any other conservative you know. For years, Clarence

440
00:27:57,280 --> 00:28:01,919
Speaker 2: Thomas served alongside antonin Scalia. Both were equally conservative and

441
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:05,840
Speaker 2: Yet the left didn't hate Scalia. They disagreed with him,

442
00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:10,320
Speaker 2: but they didn't hate him. For today's Democrats, they have

443
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:16,359
Speaker 2: a contempt, a loathing for a black man who dares

444
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:21,280
Speaker 2: to be a conservative that for today's leftist is triggering.

445
00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:25,199
Speaker 2: They believe an African American man does not have the

446
00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:30,119
Speaker 2: right to disagree with the left wing orthodoxy, that the

447
00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:32,600
Speaker 2: cultural Marxists are trying to force down your throat, and

448
00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:36,560
Speaker 2: so that they heap contempt. You know, I put up

449
00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:41,000
Speaker 2: in hearings before magazine covers where they've shown Clarence Thomas.

450
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:44,600
Speaker 2: They've drawn him as a lawn jockey, They've drawn him

451
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:49,320
Speaker 2: as an Uncle Tom licking the boots of justice Scalia,

452
00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:55,440
Speaker 2: I mean, just heavily racist cartoons from the left. And

453
00:28:55,520 --> 00:29:01,880
Speaker 2: so in response to these subpoenas, Senate Republicans did two things.

454
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:06,240
Speaker 2: Number one, we did what's called we invoked the two

455
00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:09,520
Speaker 2: hour rule, which is a Senate rule that limits the

456
00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:13,680
Speaker 2: length of a hearing. Because we invoked that rule, it

457
00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:16,400
Speaker 2: meant that they had to conclude all of their business

458
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:21,000
Speaker 2: by noon. Well, Durban screwed up again. He didn't finish

459
00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:24,720
Speaker 2: by noon, and he actually voted on the subpoenas at

460
00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:27,920
Speaker 2: twelve oh two, so he was two minutes late. Under

461
00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:32,920
Speaker 2: the Senate rules, those subpoenas are invalid because at noon,

462
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:36,360
Speaker 2: the committee was no longer allowed to conduct any business

463
00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:41,080
Speaker 2: under the Senate rules. So the subpoenas were invalid. Number one,

464
00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:43,760
Speaker 2: because Durbin did it too late and did not comply

465
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:47,160
Speaker 2: with the two hour rule. But number two, we did

466
00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:50,120
Speaker 2: something very unusual, which is every Republican got up and

467
00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:53,320
Speaker 2: left walked out of the hearing room when they began

468
00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:56,160
Speaker 2: to vote on the subpoenas. And the reason we did

469
00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:59,360
Speaker 2: that is we denied the committee a quorum. Under the rules,

470
00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:02,120
Speaker 2: have to be at least two members of the minority

471
00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:04,120
Speaker 2: party in the room for the committee to be able

472
00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:07,000
Speaker 2: to conduct business, and so we left and denied them

473
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:10,360
Speaker 2: a quorum. Now, Durban, the Democrats don't care if they're

474
00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:14,080
Speaker 2: following the rules, so he just voted with only Democrats

475
00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:18,800
Speaker 2: and then he announced that the eleven Democrats had voted,

476
00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:23,240
Speaker 2: so the subpoenas would issue. But if and when anyone

477
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:27,800
Speaker 2: tries to enforce those subpoenas, the lawyers for the targets

478
00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:30,200
Speaker 2: of the subpoenas, the lawyers for Leonard Leo and Harlan

479
00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:34,800
Speaker 2: Crowe will undoubtedly argue that the subpoenas are invalid number

480
00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:37,960
Speaker 2: one because they violated the two hour rule and number

481
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:41,480
Speaker 2: two because they were issued without a quorum, and that

482
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:46,000
Speaker 2: for all of the Republicans to walk out and deny

483
00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:50,440
Speaker 2: a quorum is something extremely rare and it is indicative

484
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:54,240
Speaker 2: of just how how much the Democrats are abusing their

485
00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:55,000
Speaker 2: power right now.

486
00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:57,920
Speaker 1: And Cina, I also want to ask you just about

487
00:30:57,920 --> 00:31:01,640
Speaker 1: this double standard with them come after Kaerance Thomas, but

488
00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:05,560
Speaker 1: completely overlooking some of the major ethical problems that some

489
00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:09,560
Speaker 1: of the Democrats should have to answer for, especially on

490
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:12,240
Speaker 1: the Supreme Court. Before I do that, though, I got

491
00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:16,000
Speaker 1: to tell you about our friends at Blackout Coffee. I

492
00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:19,000

493
00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:22,240
Speaker 1: radio at seven am, and I there's one thing I

494
00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:24,800
Speaker 1: look forward to in the morning, and that's a good

495
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:27,680
Speaker 1: cup of coffee. Not just a cup of coffee. I

496
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:30,320
Speaker 1: want a good cup of coffee. Well, if you like

519
00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:50,160
Speaker 1: You know. One of the issues I think here is

520
00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:54,760
Speaker 1: also the fact that when it comes to ethics complaints, Democrats,

521
00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:58,840
Speaker 1: they came after Karence Thomason will never stop. But there's

522
00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:01,440
Speaker 1: even headlines don't have to look for them. One of

523
00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:04,880
Speaker 1: them is the Associated Press. Supreme Court Justice Sato Mayor's

524
00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:11,240
Speaker 1: staff prodded colleges and libraries to buy her books. That

525
00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:13,600
Speaker 1: would be a major violation of ethics.

526
00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:18,560
Speaker 2: Right. Well, we've seen from the Democrats a complete double

527
00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:21,600
Speaker 2: standard when it comes to the so called ethics standards.

528
00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:25,920
Speaker 2: So everything they're accusing Clarence Thomas of doing, of of

529
00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:30,600
Speaker 2: taking trips, of going going flying on private planes, of

530
00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:34,920
Speaker 2: traveling to give speeches or go to go to some

531
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:41,320
Speaker 2: swanky resort. Everything that that that Clarence Thomas did. The

532
00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:44,720
Speaker 2: left wing justices did too. Stephen Bryer did so. Ruth

533
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:47,239
Speaker 2: Bader Ginsburg did so. Sonya sawt to my or did so.

534
00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:52,000
Speaker 2: Stephen Bryer flew all over the world on planes of

535
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:56,960
Speaker 2: left wing billionaires and the Democrats. And to be clear,

536
00:33:57,560 --> 00:34:01,080
Speaker 2: the Supreme Court's ethics rules allowed both of them to

537
00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:03,520
Speaker 2: do that. They were both complying with the ethics rules.

538
00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:06,160
Speaker 2: And so what the Democrats are doing here is they're

539
00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:11,279
Speaker 2: playing a game of gotcha, which is they are attacking

540
00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:13,640
Speaker 2: Clarence Thomas for doing the same thing all the other

541
00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:16,960
Speaker 2: justices are doing. And they're ignoring the fact that the

542
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:22,080
Speaker 2: ethics rules that govern justices allow them to take those trips.

543
00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:27,359
Speaker 2: And it is their objective is it's not complicated. They

544
00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:32,280
Speaker 2: want to smear, they want to destroy Clarence Thomas, number one,

545
00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:35,520
Speaker 2: but number two, they want to delegitimize the Supreme Court

546
00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:38,839
Speaker 2: because the Supreme Court is the one major institution in

547
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:43,200
Speaker 2: Washington that the left right now does not control. And

548
00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:47,840
Speaker 2: even worse, from their perspective, the Supreme Court is holding

549
00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:51,640
Speaker 2: the Biden administration to account and forcing them to comply

550
00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:56,800
Speaker 2: with the constitution and with the law. And the radical

551
00:34:56,880 --> 00:34:59,799
Speaker 2: left doesn't want to comply with the constitution and the law.

552
00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:04,920
Speaker 2: So this is a political effort designed to attack and

553
00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:05,879
Speaker 2: tear down the court.

554
00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:08,840
Speaker 1: And part of deal legitimizing the court. Final question on

555
00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:11,839
Speaker 1: this is if they can delegitimize it, then they can

556
00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:13,880
Speaker 1: pack the court and say that's how they're going to

557
00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:18,080
Speaker 1: fix this illegitimate court. How concerned are you that that

558
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:23,279
Speaker 1: idea and dream could become a reality in the next

559
00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:26,880
Speaker 1: five ten years, because it seems that they're really focused

560
00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:28,839
Speaker 1: on this idea of all, right, well, if we don't

561
00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:30,920
Speaker 1: have the numbers, we'll just pack the damn Court and

562
00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:33,920
Speaker 1: then bam, we remake it. Now we're in charging to

563
00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:35,000
Speaker 1: do whatever the hell we want to do.

564
00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:40,440
Speaker 2: The Democrats are one vote away from having the votes

565
00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:44,439
Speaker 2: to pack the US Supreme Court, so the Democrats tried

566
00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:47,120
Speaker 2: to end the filibuster. The filibuster is the requirement that

567
00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:52,520
Speaker 2: it takes sixty votes to pass major legislation in the Senate.

568
00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:57,920
Speaker 2: Forty eight of the Democrats are willing to end the filibuster.

569
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:02,360
Speaker 2: They are only two who refuse to do so, Joe

570
00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:05,879
Speaker 2: Manchin and Kirsten Cinnamon. By the way, Mansion's not coming back.

571
00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:08,560
Speaker 2: He's announced that he's not running for reelection, so one

572
00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:12,399
Speaker 2: of those two will be gone. And if the Democrats

573
00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:18,480
Speaker 2: go from forty eight to fifty and Kamala Harris is

574
00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:21,160
Speaker 2: still the vice president, they will have the votes to

575
00:36:21,239 --> 00:36:25,120
Speaker 2: end the filibuster. They would do so, and one of

576
00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:27,440
Speaker 2: the very first things they would do is pack the U.

577
00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:30,960
Speaker 2: S Supreme Court. They would grow the number of justices

578
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:35,759
Speaker 2: from nine justices to thirteen, so they could immediately appoint

579
00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:43,160
Speaker 2: four radical left wing justices who would then overturn landmark

580
00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:48,760
Speaker 2: decisions protecting free speech, protecting religious liberty, protecting the Second Amendment.

581
00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:52,160
Speaker 2: If they are able to pack the Supreme Court, they

582
00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:56,160
Speaker 2: have the potential of doing permanent damage to the rule

583
00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:58,720
Speaker 2: of law and to urine my constitutional rights.

584
00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:00,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, and something we're gonna have to watch certainly in

585
00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:03,600
Speaker 1: this election. You this presidential election, you're coming up and

586
00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:06,960
Speaker 1: remind people these are those reasons why it's so important

587
00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:08,520
Speaker 1: to actually go out and vote when we see low

588
00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:12,279
Speaker 1: voter turnout in presidential areas. Always, I always say, go

589
00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:14,319
Speaker 1: back to the Supreme Court, and you look at what

590
00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:17,560
Speaker 1: we were able to accomplish with Donald Trump and Supreme

591
00:37:17,600 --> 00:37:21,560
Speaker 1: Court nominees. It was incredible and that as a legacy

592
00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:26,359
Speaker 1: that can be there for decades on. In finally, let's

593
00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:30,080
Speaker 1: talk about something that was really fun. I think, and

594
00:37:31,120 --> 00:37:35,080
Speaker 1: I googled this, but I got inconclusive data here, Senator.

595
00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:40,799
Speaker 1: I think that you had your silver screen debut with

596
00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:45,000
Speaker 1: a new movie that has come out, Lady Ballers. It

597
00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:47,680
Speaker 1: is a Daily Wire movie, Lady Ballers, and it's making

598
00:37:47,719 --> 00:37:50,919
Speaker 1: everybody freak out, which makes even more fun in the media.

599
00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:55,000
Speaker 1: And they're saying you're now starring in a transgender film,

600
00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:57,319
Speaker 1: which really made me laugh when I saw that headline.

601
00:37:57,600 --> 00:38:02,000
Speaker 1: So talk about this debut of yours. Congratulations movie star.

602
00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:04,439
Speaker 1: I guess we can put that on the resume, right,

603
00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:06,120
Speaker 1: This is pretty cool?

604
00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:09,200
Speaker 2: Well, it was very cool. So last night I went

605
00:38:09,239 --> 00:38:11,080
Speaker 2: to the world premiere of the movie and it was

606
00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:14,440
Speaker 2: in Nashville. The name of the movie is Lady Ballers

607
00:38:14,440 --> 00:38:16,080
Speaker 2: and it was put out by the Daily Wire, and

608
00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:21,200
Speaker 2: it's a comedy. It's a really funny comedy. It reads

609
00:38:21,960 --> 00:38:24,279
Speaker 2: it's an awful lot like Dodgeball. It's kind of the

610
00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:28,880
Speaker 2: same sort of slapstick. But the script is really well written.

611
00:38:29,680 --> 00:38:34,839
Speaker 2: It's got a terrific cast. And the premise is that

612
00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:40,160
Speaker 2: you have five guys who won the Tennessee State high

613
00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:44,319
Speaker 2: school basketball championship and twenty years later, they're all kind

614
00:38:44,320 --> 00:38:47,160
Speaker 2: of down on their luck and they decide they're going

615
00:38:47,239 --> 00:38:51,960
Speaker 2: to compete as women's basketball players and dominate women's basketball.

616
00:38:52,760 --> 00:38:56,840
Speaker 2: And because of today's woke ideology, if they say they're women,

617
00:38:58,120 --> 00:39:03,200
Speaker 2: they get praised as as beautiful and brave and and

618
00:39:03,560 --> 00:39:07,400
Speaker 2: it I gotta tell you the script is, it's just

619
00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:09,640
Speaker 2: really damn funny. So I went. It was in a

620
00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:13,200
Speaker 2: big theater in Nashville. The theater was packed. Everyone was

621
00:39:13,239 --> 00:39:15,840
Speaker 2: cracking up, laughing. Uh, there are a whole bunch of

622
00:39:15,880 --> 00:39:18,840
Speaker 2: cameos in the movie. Now I have a tiny cameo.

623
00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:21,600
Speaker 2: So so I'm in the movie. I have two lines.

624
00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:25,080
Speaker 2: But but it was fun. I flew to Nashville while

625
00:39:25,080 --> 00:39:25,560
Speaker 2: they were filming.

626
00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:27,279
Speaker 1: Hold on, hold on, how many takes it take you

627
00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:29,440
Speaker 1: to get it right? That's that's the real question, if

628
00:39:29,480 --> 00:39:31,160
Speaker 1: you've gone pro here in the movie world.

629
00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:36,200
Speaker 2: Well, uh, they probably had me do about twenty takes

630
00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:38,359
Speaker 2: of it. Now, I don't know that. I don't know

631
00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:40,520
Speaker 2: that I screwed it up nineteen times. But but they

632
00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:42,840
Speaker 2: kept telling me, Okay, do it again, do it again,

633
00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:46,040
Speaker 2: do it again. So I did, did, did, did a

634
00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:47,920
Speaker 2: whole bunch of takes of it. And it was a

635
00:39:47,960 --> 00:39:49,759
Speaker 2: ton of fun. I flew in for one afternoon and

636
00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:52,000
Speaker 2: shot the scene and left it. But it was a

637
00:39:52,040 --> 00:39:55,759
Speaker 2: blast and and and it was really cool. And I

638
00:39:55,840 --> 00:40:00,959
Speaker 2: will say the movie. Look, this is something we've talked about.

639
00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:02,640
Speaker 2: That is something I talk about at a lot of

640
00:40:02,719 --> 00:40:07,000
Speaker 2: length in my new book on Woke. The chapter on entertainment,

641
00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:11,160
Speaker 2: Entertainment is enormously consequential, and I talk about in the

642
00:40:11,160 --> 00:40:16,520
Speaker 2: book on Woke, how how the the radical left has

643
00:40:16,719 --> 00:40:21,399
Speaker 2: killed comedy. Late night TV shows are unwatchable and in fact,

644
00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:25,520
Speaker 2: ironically so Jimmy Kimmel, I blast in the book and

645
00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:30,720
Speaker 2: I talk about how, you know, instead of like actually

646
00:40:30,760 --> 00:40:35,640
Speaker 2: having real humor, we now just have angry leftists standing

647
00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:40,000
Speaker 2: there screaming, I hate Donald Trump, Donald Trumps the devil. Ironically,

648
00:40:40,120 --> 00:40:42,520
Speaker 2: Jimmy Kimmel took that excerpt from my book and he

649
00:40:42,560 --> 00:40:47,520
Speaker 2: read it his monologue, and it was it was actually

650
00:40:47,560 --> 00:40:50,680
Speaker 2: even funnier. Kimmel then following it up by having a

651
00:40:50,760 --> 00:40:54,960
Speaker 2: drag queen read excerpts of my book to little kids,

652
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:57,560
Speaker 2: which was as much as I said, it was unfunny.

653
00:40:57,560 --> 00:40:58,799
Speaker 2: That was actually kind of funny that.

654
00:40:58,760 --> 00:40:59,120
Speaker 1: He did that.

655
00:40:59,239 --> 00:41:06,600
Speaker 2: I got to laugh at that. But look, entertainment is powerful,

656
00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:10,920
Speaker 2: culture is powerful, and comedy is powerful. And what I

657
00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:13,200
Speaker 2: was happy about this movie is is that it's it's

658
00:41:13,239 --> 00:41:17,200
Speaker 2: really funny. I mean, it's it is. I mean, as

659
00:41:17,239 --> 00:41:19,720
Speaker 2: you know, I'm a huge movie buff. I love movies,

660
00:41:19,840 --> 00:41:23,000
Speaker 2: I love comedies, I love I love you know, laughing

661
00:41:23,080 --> 00:41:27,280
Speaker 2: and cutting up and having fun. And this the movie.

662
00:41:27,320 --> 00:41:32,520
Speaker 2: I would recommend it to everyone. It's and I'm glad

663
00:41:32,600 --> 00:41:36,000
Speaker 2: to see. Look, the Daily Wire is investing a lot

664
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:41,160
Speaker 2: of money and trying to compete against Hollywood producing good content,

665
00:41:41,200 --> 00:41:44,160
Speaker 2: and that's one of the critical tools we have to

666
00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:46,399
Speaker 2: do if we're going to take the institutions back.

667
00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:49,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's so important. And you look at just it's

668
00:41:49,960 --> 00:41:52,440
Speaker 1: not just that when these come out that we support them.

669
00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:54,920
Speaker 1: And I think that's the point you're making is Look,

670
00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:59,080
Speaker 1: go watch this movie and support it, because if we do,

671
00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:02,120
Speaker 1: then we get to make more of them and others

672
00:42:02,160 --> 00:42:05,400
Speaker 1: will be inspired when you see people that are trying

673
00:42:05,440 --> 00:42:08,640
Speaker 1: to fight back in spaces that are really hard, like Hollywood,

674
00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:11,279
Speaker 1: and they put something out that's on Netflix. That's something

675
00:42:11,320 --> 00:42:15,439
Speaker 1: that's that has made for our audience and conservatives, make

676
00:42:15,480 --> 00:42:18,080
Speaker 1: sure you support it because if you don't, the left

677
00:42:18,120 --> 00:42:20,600
Speaker 1: will continue to beat the living crap out of us

678
00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:24,880
Speaker 1: in the entertainment industry and they do change hearts and minds.

679
00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:27,080
Speaker 1: I mean there was a there. I mean when you

680
00:42:27,160 --> 00:42:29,919
Speaker 1: ran for president, I'm sure you saw the data likability

681
00:42:29,960 --> 00:42:32,160
Speaker 1: and if Hollywood's behind you, and if you have famous

682
00:42:32,160 --> 00:42:36,040
Speaker 1: stars behind you, I mean, the Democratic National Convention is

683
00:42:36,080 --> 00:42:38,680
Speaker 1: not about the politicians. It's about the movie stars and

684
00:42:38,719 --> 00:42:41,279
Speaker 1: the mood and the music groups that show up to

685
00:42:41,640 --> 00:42:45,600
Speaker 1: entertain the people watching on TV. And they beat us

686
00:42:45,640 --> 00:42:47,520
Speaker 1: at that game. And that's why it's so important to

687
00:42:47,520 --> 00:42:48,759
Speaker 1: get behind movies like this.

688
00:42:50,360 --> 00:42:52,920
Speaker 2: Look, I think that's exactly right. The movie also has

689
00:42:52,960 --> 00:42:55,480
Speaker 2: a bunch of different cameos in it. So Ben Shapiro

690
00:42:55,640 --> 00:42:59,040
Speaker 2: is in it, Jeremy Boring is is actually one of

691
00:42:59,080 --> 00:43:01,399
Speaker 2: the stars of it. At Walsh is in it, Clay

692
00:43:01,520 --> 00:43:05,880
Speaker 2: Travis is in it, Riley Gaines is in it, Jordan

693
00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:08,960
Speaker 2: Peterson is in it. So so there are lots of

694
00:43:08,960 --> 00:43:13,200
Speaker 2: of cameos that that are are are really fun and

695
00:43:13,200 --> 00:43:17,240
Speaker 2: and and well done and and like Matt Walsh plays

696
00:43:17,320 --> 00:43:22,480
Speaker 2: basically this like hippie dippy character, who's who's really funny

697
00:43:22,520 --> 00:43:25,480
Speaker 2: and and and Shapiro has just a quick little snippet

698
00:43:25,480 --> 00:43:31,160
Speaker 2: but it's hysterical what what Ben does in it, and

699
00:43:31,160 --> 00:43:34,960
Speaker 2: and that it was one of the fun things. And actually,

700
00:43:35,040 --> 00:43:38,480
Speaker 2: for for Verdict listeners, uh You're in my dear friend

701
00:43:38,520 --> 00:43:43,080
Speaker 2: Michael Knowles the the the uh my original co host

702
00:43:43,080 --> 00:43:46,239
Speaker 2: on Verdict, Michael actually has a pretty sizable role in

703
00:43:46,280 --> 00:43:48,719
Speaker 2: the in the uh in the movie, he plays a

704
00:43:49,320 --> 00:43:53,200
Speaker 2: he plays a TV actor, and and he's got you know,

705
00:43:53,320 --> 00:43:55,360
Speaker 2: in in in in the movie, he's got like a

706
00:43:55,400 --> 00:43:58,680
Speaker 2: little mustache that he wears. And and so I I

707
00:43:58,719 --> 00:44:01,160
Speaker 2: saw Michael, I saw everyone at the premiere last night,

708
00:44:01,200 --> 00:44:04,200
Speaker 2: and I was giving Michael enormous grief, saying, you know,

709
00:44:04,320 --> 00:44:06,359
Speaker 2: you really need to keep that stash, Michael. I mean,

710
00:44:06,400 --> 00:44:09,840
Speaker 2: it really does kind of. It has sort of a

711
00:44:10,160 --> 00:44:14,080
Speaker 2: B level porn star actor look like the you know,

712
00:44:14,120 --> 00:44:16,520
Speaker 2: I said, Michael, you're rocking the Ron Jeremy look. And

713
00:44:16,560 --> 00:44:21,000
Speaker 2: I think it really it's worth continuing. Thankfully he had

714
00:44:21,000 --> 00:44:23,480
Speaker 2: the good judgment not to follow my advice on that front.

715
00:44:24,200 --> 00:44:26,160
Speaker 1: I loved it. There was a picture he tweeted out

716
00:44:26,200 --> 00:44:29,360
Speaker 1: of when your date night gets hijacked to a third

717
00:44:29,360 --> 00:44:32,040
Speaker 1: wheel with you sitting next to him last night having

718
00:44:32,040 --> 00:44:33,600
Speaker 1: a little fun at the premiere. It was a lot

719
00:44:33,640 --> 00:44:35,640
Speaker 1: of fun. Make sure that you take a look at

720
00:44:35,640 --> 00:44:39,040
Speaker 1: this movie and support concernatives when they do this. It's

721
00:44:39,080 --> 00:44:42,799
Speaker 1: so vitally important. You're talking about, you know, standing up

722
00:44:42,840 --> 00:44:44,760
Speaker 1: for what you believe in. And if you're a guy

723
00:44:44,960 --> 00:44:48,480
Speaker 1: and you are sick and tired of feeling like you've

724
00:44:48,480 --> 00:44:51,480
Speaker 1: gotten a little bit older, maybe you feel like weakness

725
00:44:51,600 --> 00:44:55,280
Speaker 1: and complacency of set in. You're not alone. Testostrum levels

726
00:44:55,320 --> 00:44:59,640
Speaker 1: have literally fallen off a cliff historically, and they're now

727

Speaker 1: in all time low. Now, thankfully, the patriots at Chalk
