1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,360
Speaker 1: Welcome in is Verdica Center. Ted Cruz Ben Ferguson with you.

2
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:05,480
Speaker 1: It's nice to have you with us on this Friday morning.

3
00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:08,280
Speaker 1: And Senator, we've got some big stories to talk about today.

4
00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:11,240
Speaker 2: Today we're going to talk about several issues. We're going

5
00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:15,920
Speaker 2: to talk about the ongoing lawfare that is being waged

6
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:18,560
Speaker 2: against President Trump and the Trump administration. This is the

7
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:22,840
Speaker 2: strategy of the Democrats to use the courts to sue, sue, sue,

8
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 2: and sadly, they're finding radical district judges willing to enjoin

9
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:31,840
Speaker 2: the president over and over and over again. Four lawsuits,

10
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:35,640
Speaker 2: four district court losses in the past twenty four hours.

11
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:39,479
Speaker 2: We're going to break them down so you understand what happened. Next,

12
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:43,280
Speaker 2: we're going to talk about the radical transgender ideology that

13
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:46,560
Speaker 2: the left continues to embrace and sadly, a great many

14
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 2: in corporate America do as well. Tennis legend Martina Navertilova

15
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:56,960
Speaker 2: has called out Nike for funding transgender research for undermining women.

16
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:59,639
Speaker 2: We're going to talk about that and how it reflects

17
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 2: just how radical the left continues to be. And finally,

18
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,480
Speaker 2: we're going to talk about how the Democrat Party in

19
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 2: Washington is breaking down how the media is losing their

20
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 2: mind CNN, MSNBC. They are ringing the alarm bells that

21
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:17,040
Speaker 2: the Democrats extreme policies are so out of touch with

22
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:21,679
Speaker 2: the American people that they're losing support every single day.

23
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:25,760
Speaker 2: And yet the Democrats hatred of Donald Trump is so

24
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:29,759
Speaker 2: great they can't pull back from the radical policy positions,

25
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 2: all of them.

26
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:32,039
Speaker 3: We're going to break down in today's show.

27
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you mentioned that last story, which in a

28
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 1: very interesting way, is going to connect with this first story.

29
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 1: It is being celebrated by the left of the media

30
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:45,760
Speaker 1: that these judges I describe them as activist judges are saying,

31
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 1: watch this. We're going to get involved and we're going

32
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 1: to stop Donald Trump and what he's doing. The man

33
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 1: that he has from the voters. He was elected president

34
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 1: the United States of America an agenda that is overwhelmingly

35
00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 1: popular with the majority of Americans, and we're going to

36
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 1: just what he's doing. And this is another example of lawfare.

37
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 1: The fact that there are though four that have come

38
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 1: down in a twenty four hour period. I got to

39
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 1: ask the question, and there's so many listening that are

40
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 1: going to want to know this center, which is is

41
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:17,360
Speaker 1: this not orchestrated. I mean, when you have four in

42
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 1: a row, is that a coincidence? Is that how the

43
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:23,800
Speaker 1: court systems work? Or is this a orchestrated, clear effort

44
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:27,239
Speaker 1: they wanted a major SmackDown on the president's agenda.

45
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:31,959
Speaker 2: Well, it's orchestrated by the plaintiffs, but not the courts themselves.

46
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 2: But this is going to be the pattern we're going

47
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,520
Speaker 2: to see. The last four years, we saw the left

48
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,639
Speaker 2: wage law fair against Donald Trump by indicting him, not once,

49
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:43,240
Speaker 2: not twice, not three times, four different times. We saw

50
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 2: Democrats going to court to try to throw Donald Trump

51
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 2: off the ballot because they were terrified the voters were

52
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 2: going to elect him, which of course they did. That's

53
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:54,359
Speaker 2: the same reason they indicted him, because they were terrified

54
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 2: voters were going to elect him, which of course they did.

55
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 2: Now now that President Trump is back in this is

56
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:04,639
Speaker 2: the next phase of their lawfare, and every single day

57
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:08,079
Speaker 2: of the Trump administration, we are going to see blue

58
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 2: state attorneys general and left wing activist groups filing lawsuits.

59
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:15,679
Speaker 2: And they are filing them. They are seeking out extreme

60
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 2: left wing judges. They're going to blue jurisdictions, particularly blue

61
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 2: to jurisdictions where they are confident they will get radicals

62
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:26,520
Speaker 2: and robes, and so far the pattern is having considerable success.

63
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 2: Now I am hopeful that on appeal the Courts of

64
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 2: Appeals or the Supreme Court are going to reverse this.

65
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 2: But this is their strategy to try to stop the

66
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 2: agenda that the American people elected President Trump to implement.

67
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 2: So let's start with the first one. The first one

68
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 2: is a case called League of Women Voters Election Fund

69
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 2: versus Trump, and it deals with election integrity. Now, election

70
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 2: integrity is an issue that has widespread support among the voters.

71
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 2: Voters want our elections to be secure, and if you

72
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 2: look at the United States, the United States law concerning

73
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 2: election integrity are far behind many other nations. So for example,

74
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 2: India and Brazil are tying voter identification to a biometric database.

75
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 2: The United States, in contrast, largely relies on self attestation

76
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 2: for citizenship. Germany and Canada both require the use of

77
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 2: paper ballots counted in public by local officials. America, on

78
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:32,360
Speaker 2: the other hand, we have a patchwork of voting methods

79
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 2: that lead to serious chain of custody problems. Other countries,

80
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 2: like Denmark and Sweden, they limit mail in voting to

81
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 2: those unable to vote in person, and they don't count

82
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 2: late arriving votes regardless of the day of the postmark. Nonetheless,

83
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 2: many American elections, particularly those in blue states, feature mass

84
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 2: voting by mail, with many Democrat officials accepting ballots without

85
00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:02,280
Speaker 2: postmarks or those received after election day. Now, what does

86
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:06,480
Speaker 2: federal law say about this? Multiple federal laws make it

87
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 2: clear that only American citizens are prohibited to vote in

88
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:14,360
Speaker 2: federal elections, and yet we see, particularly in Blue states,

89
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 2: that requirement, that legal federal requirement being violated.

90
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 3: Well.

91
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 2: On March twenty fifth of this year, President Trump issued

92
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:24,479
Speaker 2: an executive order that was called Preserving and Protecting the

93
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 2: Integrity of American Elections, and it is focused on requiring

94
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 2: proof of citizenship to register to vote. Almost instantaneously, a

95
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:37,280
Speaker 2: group of left wing organizations sued President Trump, and they

96
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 2: sued him in the District to Columbia Court and in

97
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 2: a liberal judge, Judge Colleen Kollarcotelli, who was appointed by

98
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 2: Bill Clinton, granted a preliminary injunction and block the Trump

99
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 2: administration from implementing the executive order from requiring proof of citizenship.

100
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 2: Her reasoning, I've got to say, makes very little sense.

101
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 2: Her reasoning. She says, well, the power to regulate elections

102
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:06,359
Speaker 2: is given to Congress and given to the states, not

103
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:12,600
Speaker 2: the president. Well, she ignores the fact that Congress has legislated.

104
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 2: Congress has passed legislation making clear that only American citizens

105
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 2: can vote in federal elections. And so once Congress has

106
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 2: acted the constitution, Article two of the Constitution gives the

107
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:29,920
Speaker 2: president a duty to quote take care that the laws

108
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:33,720
Speaker 2: be faithfully executed. That's what the President is doing. And

109
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:37,719
Speaker 2: yet to left wing activists, they don't want the president

110
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:41,839
Speaker 2: to enforce federal law. And so this appeal will go

111
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 2: to the d C Circuit. It's going to matter immensely

112
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 2: what the panel of judges are that are on the

113
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:50,880
Speaker 2: d C Circuit. But this is one example, and we're

114
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 2: going to go through several more of how left wing

115
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 2: groups are going to wage war against the president implementing

116
00:06:57,240 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 2: what the American people elected him to implement.

117
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 1: They're all filed in very liberal courts and for a

118
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 1: liberal judges that had no problem saying, yep, I want

119
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 1: to be a part of this law.

120
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 4: Fair.

121
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 2: The first one was filed in DC. The second one

122
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:13,239
Speaker 2: was filed in San Francisco, and it deals with Trump's

123
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 2: executive orders to cut off funding to sanctuary cities, to

124
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 2: cities that defy federal immigration law. Again, this is the

125
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 2: president seeking to enforce federal law. And yet the plaintiffs

126
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 2: went and sought out a judge, Judge William Morrick, he's

127
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 2: an Obama appointee in San Francisco, who granted an injunction

128
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 2: against enforcing those executive orders. Now, I got to say,

129
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 2: the Planetfts were not surprised with this because this is

130
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 2: the same district judge who granted the order against the

131
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 2: exact same thing in the first Trump administration. So they

132
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 2: went back to the same judge. They said, hey, would

133
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 2: you do it again? And by the way, in the

134
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 2: first Trump administration that went up on appeal to the

135
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:54,559
Speaker 2: Ninth Circuit. The Ninth Circuit is consistently the most left

136
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 2: wing court of appeals in the country. In the Ninth

137
00:07:56,520 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 2: Circuit upheld that order stopping the first Trump administration's order

138
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 2: against funding sanctuary cities, and sadly the Supreme Court did

139
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 2: not take that appeal. You've got to assume this case

140
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 2: will get appealed to the Ninth Circuit, and the Ninth

141
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 2: Circuit presumably will do the same thing it did last time,

142
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 2: and what we've got to hope for here is this

143
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 2: time the Supreme Court will take the case in reverse

144
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 2: it the third case.

145
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 3: The third case deals.

146
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 2: With DEI, and in fact, the third and fourth cases

147
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 2: both deal with DEI. The Department of Education published a

148
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 2: Dear Colleague letter reminding Title six funding recipients that they

149
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 2: have to comply with anti discrimination law. And it made

150
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:42,319
Speaker 2: clear that Title six and the Equal Protection Clause of

151
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:46,199
Speaker 2: the Constitution bind the recipients. And if you're getting federal law,

152
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 2: you got to comply. If you're getting federal money, you

153
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 2: got to comply with federal law. Well, there were two

154
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 2: lawsuits that were filed. One that was filed in Maryland,

155
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 2: and in Maryland they were in front of Judge Stephanie Gallagher,

156
00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 2: who was a Trump appointee. Although I would know Maryland

157
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:03,319
Speaker 2: is a state with two Democrat senators, and the way

158
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:06,360
Speaker 2: it works with district judges is the senators have an

159
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 2: enormous say, so even though this judge was appointed by Trump,

160
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 2: she almost certainly was put forward by the Democrat senators

161
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 2: in Maryland. Judge Gallagher issued an injunction saying that the

162
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 2: letter that was giving guidance to the recipients of federal

163
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:25,080
Speaker 2: funds that constituted a federal rule, a final federal action,

164
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:31,199
Speaker 2: and that it was arbitrary and capricious and violated federal law. Likewise,

165
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 2: in New Hampshire, in both lawsuits, the Maryland and New

166
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 2: Hampshire lawsuit, it was the Teachers Union, the National Education

167
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 2: Association UH, and the American Federation Teachers that filed a lawsuit,

168
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:48,599
Speaker 2: and and in New Hampshire UH, the judge there likewise

169
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:52,440
Speaker 2: issued an order UH in joining. In this case, it

170
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:57,080
Speaker 2: was Judge Landia McCaffrey and Obama appointee who granted the

171
00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 2: order and and and said that that it was vague,

172
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 2: the Department of Education's instructions were vague because you couldn't

173
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 2: figure out what a DEI program is, and so issued

174
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:13,880
Speaker 2: at in junction. You know, it's amazing everybody knows what

175
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 2: a DEI program is. And then what the Department Education

176
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:21,080
Speaker 2: is saying is if you discriminate based on race, that

177
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:24,440
Speaker 2: is illegal, and we're not going to send you money

178
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 2: if you are violating federal law. By the way, that's

179
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 2: the same thing the Sanctuary Cities executive order said. And

180
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:37,520
Speaker 2: yet four district judges for injunctions all the latest development

181
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 2: in the battle of law fair. And I will say

182
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 2: what we've got a hope for is number one, the

183
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 2: courts of Appeals stepping in and reversing these decisions. But

184
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 2: number two, ultimately the Supreme Court stepping in and saying

185
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:53,920
Speaker 2: enough is enough. The President has the authority and in

186
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 2: fact the responsibility to enforce federal law.

187
00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 1: So let's go through a couple different scenarios here. Number one,

188
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 1: I'm assuming that some of these judges know that a

189
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 1: SmackDown is going to come from this, right like, they're

190
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 1: not dumb, so it's law fair, but they know this

191
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 1: is going to be a fight. They seem to be

192
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 1: okay with that, and they don't care that that may

193
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 1: be coming. Is that because this is the new plan

194
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 1: of Hey, as long as you can delay and then

195
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:26,760
Speaker 1: delay a little bit more, and then delay a little

196
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 1: bit more and hold him up and the Trump agenda up,

197
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:32,840
Speaker 1: then that's still success and a weird way to them.

198
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 2: Well, let me say, sadly, they don't know they're going

199
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 2: to get a SmackDown. Number one, there are a lot

200
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 2: of liberal Court of Appeals judges. You looked at the

201
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:46,960
Speaker 2: San Francisco judge that enjoined the President's sanctuary cities executive order.

202
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:50,080
Speaker 2: That judge knows the appeal goes to the Ninth Circuit,

203
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 2: which is an extreme left wing court, and so that judge,

204
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:56,760
Speaker 2: I'm sure, is expecting the Ninth Circuit will agree with him,

205
00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 2: and you do have a final backstop of the Supreme

206
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 2: But the Supreme Court takes a tiny fraction of the

207
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:06,880
Speaker 2: cases that are appealed to the Supreme Court. And so listen,

208
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 2: I think what the left wing litigants are gambling is

209
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 2: they sue on everything. They're going to win a number

210
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:16,320
Speaker 2: of these cases. Some may get overturned on appeal, but

211
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 2: some will not. And their approach, I think is flood

212
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 2: the zone. It's the exact same thing they did when

213
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:26,200
Speaker 2: they indicted Trump over and over and over again. Not

214
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:29,280
Speaker 2: just once, they kept doing it over and over again, saying, Okay,

215
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:31,559
Speaker 2: if the New York case doesn't stick, we'll bring the

216
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:33,720
Speaker 2: DC one. All right, If the DC one doesn't stick,

217
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 2: we'll bring the Georgia one. They're doing the same thing here.

218
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:41,200
Speaker 2: They know many, if not most, will be overturned, but

219
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:44,360
Speaker 2: they're gambling, and it's probably a right gamble that not

220
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 2: all of them will be overturned. And so every single

221
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:51,200
Speaker 2: one of the policy matters that the president is implementing.

222
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:54,160
Speaker 2: And to be clear, the President campaigned on these issues.

223
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:56,440
Speaker 2: He promised the American people this is what he'd do.

224
00:12:57,120 --> 00:13:02,320
Speaker 2: And the Democrats they don't want democracy, the will of

225
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 2: the voters to be honored, and so they're using the

226
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:07,959
Speaker 2: courts to attack ultimately the will of the voters.

227
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 1: So final question on this, and there's precedent right in

228
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 1: the courts in theory.

229
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:13,880
Speaker 5: We hear a lot about that.

230
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:17,080
Speaker 1: Is there any way that the Supreme Court can say

231
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:20,840
Speaker 1: stop it and you can't keep doing this over and

232
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 1: over again for the next four years, or do they

233
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:26,360
Speaker 1: only able to say that basically on one issue or

234
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:28,079
Speaker 1: subject or lawsuit at a time.

235
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 2: Well, I'll give you some good news about these four

236
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:36,079
Speaker 2: district court decisions, which these decisions were not nationwide injunctions.

237
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:39,640
Speaker 2: We've talked about on this show before, the phenomenon of

238
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:40,760
Speaker 2: nationwide injunctions.

239
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 3: We've seen.

240
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 2: A nationwide injunction is even more egregious, where you prevent

241
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 2: the president from enforcing the law, or prevent the cabinet

242
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:52,200
Speaker 2: agency from enforcing the law against anybody anywhere in the country.

243
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 2: They didn't do that here. What they did here is

244
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:58,360
Speaker 2: they issued an injunction only with respect to the parties

245
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 2: who were suing the same suary cities case. That case

246
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:04,719
Speaker 2: was brought by sixteen left wing cities, and so that

247
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 2: injunction applies to protect those sixteen cities, but nobody else.

248
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 2: That's at least a good sign. That being said, this

249
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:15,360
Speaker 2: battle will keep going over and over again. And I'll

250
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 2: tell you one of the things this underscores is why

251
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:22,080
Speaker 2: good principal judges matter so much, and why the President

252
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:24,480
Speaker 2: and the Senate need to keep putting strong Court of

253
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:28,040
Speaker 2: Appeals judges on the bench to overturn this kind of nonsense.

254
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:31,680
Speaker 1: All right, Senator, I want to move to this other

255
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 1: big issue, and that deals with some really shocking news

256
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:39,000
Speaker 1: from a woman. And if you don't know her background,

257
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 1: I think it's important to take a moment so people

258
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:44,240
Speaker 1: understand who Martine and Avatolova is. She is the most

259
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 1: decorated woman in women's tennis history. The number of Grand

260
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 1: Slams that she has won is just incredible. She was

261
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 1: one of the very first athletes to ever come out

262
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:59,680
Speaker 1: as being gay. She has been a huge advocate in

263
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:04,360
Speaker 1: her care for LGBTQ community. But then she stood up

264
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:08,120
Speaker 1: to them on men and women's sports and they started

265
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 1: to attack her, and she said, I'm not backing down.

266
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:13,600
Speaker 1: There is a difference between men and women. It is

267
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:17,040
Speaker 1: wrong to allow men to compete with women. She even lost,

268
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 1: like she was kicked off of boards and different things

269
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 1: that happened in the in the community that she was in.

270
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 1: And she I think she was shocked by the intolerance

271
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:30,400
Speaker 1: of of of all of these different radical extremist groups

272
00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:33,440
Speaker 1: that went after her because she said there is a difference.

273
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 5: Well, now she's not backing down again.

274
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:42,040
Speaker 1: She is blasting a major company, Nike, over a shocking

275
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 1: report that they were actually doing research and in transathlete

276
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:52,320
Speaker 1: research at Nike, and she's like, what are you doing.

277
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:55,800
Speaker 2: Well, let me say, first of all, you just said

278
00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:58,400
Speaker 2: a minute ago Martine and Nabertelovra, she said, you said

279
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 2: she won a lot of major Nobody knows how many.

280
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:04,400
Speaker 2: I will say, Ben, there's this thing called the Google

281
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:07,560
Speaker 2: that you know, you have a phone, you can type

282
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 2: it in. You actually just have to do Martina in

283
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:15,120
Speaker 2: and it comes right up the stats and right from

284
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:17,400
Speaker 2: the Google. It told me one of the most successful

285
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 2: tennis players of all time. She was ranked as the

286
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:22,240
Speaker 2: world number one in women's singles for how many weeks?

287
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:24,080
Speaker 2: How many weeks do you think you're the tennis player

288
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:24,920
Speaker 2: you played tennis at all?

289
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:25,280
Speaker 3: Miss?

290
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:26,720
Speaker 5: Oh, it's going to be hundreds.

291
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:29,160
Speaker 3: I know that, three hundred and thirty two weeks.

292
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:30,360
Speaker 5: Bam, there you go.

293
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:35,160
Speaker 2: And she won one hundred and sixty seven top level

294
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:39,440
Speaker 2: single titles, one hundred and seventy seven doubles titles and

295
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:43,720
Speaker 2: including an Open era record of fifty nine major titles,

296
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:47,040
Speaker 2: eighteen and singles, thirteen in women's doubles, ten and mixed doubles.

297
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 2: And how many Wimbledon singles titles do you think she won?

298
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:54,800
Speaker 5: In Wimbledon singles titles? I know this. Hold on, it's

299
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:56,080
Speaker 5: a trivia question for me.

300
00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:57,240
Speaker 3: You can't use the nine.

301
00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:00,360
Speaker 5: It's nine. No, No, it's nine. I'm pretty sure it's nine.

302
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:05,080
Speaker 2: Look at that, Sam Benjamin, Okay, you're a tennis guy.

303
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:08,000
Speaker 3: It is nine. And I didn't know that, but that

304
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:10,480
Speaker 3: if Wikipedia is right, then it is nine.

305
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:14,240
Speaker 1: So so, and here's here's another tidbit for you. The

306
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:16,359
Speaker 1: French opens coming up. And and do you know me?

307
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:16,840
Speaker 5: She won?

308
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:20,200
Speaker 3: There no idea, she won two. I didn't read it

309
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:21,240
Speaker 3: that far in Wikipedia.

310
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:23,280
Speaker 1: No, no, no, So she won two there, but that was

311
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:26,000
Speaker 1: like her hardest service to win on clay.

312
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:29,280
Speaker 5: She does not like clay, and it was Cio clay.

313
00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:31,480
Speaker 2: You should be impressed that I knew the French Open

314
00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:33,640
Speaker 2: was clay.

315
00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:35,320
Speaker 1: Exactly, and so she was the one that completed the

316
00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:37,320
Speaker 1: Grand Slam because she won the Australian Open, I want

317
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:40,160
Speaker 1: to say three or four times, French Open twice, Wimbledon nine,

318
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:41,880
Speaker 1: and I think she won the US Open.

319
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:43,720
Speaker 5: I want to say it was four or five times.

320
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 5: It was incredible.

321
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:47,480
Speaker 1: But here's a tidbit about her, and this is the

322
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:51,560
Speaker 1: this should impress everybody because when she was in the

323
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:55,160
Speaker 1: middle of all this winning, she was stripped of her

324
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:59,080
Speaker 1: citizenship when she was seventeen or eighteen and asked the

325
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:03,240
Speaker 1: United States for political asylum. And so not only was

326
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:06,480
Speaker 1: she winning, but she was in the middle of Jessicovakia

327
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:07,200
Speaker 1: when it happened.

328
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:10,520
Speaker 5: She was a chess citizen and all of this was

329
00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:11,000
Speaker 5: going on.

330
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:14,960
Speaker 1: So you talk about a woman that was incredible and

331
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:18,639
Speaker 1: focused and was able to pull all this off. It

332
00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 1: tells you about how big of a leader she was,

333
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:24,320
Speaker 1: and I think that is saying we should just remind

334
00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 1: people of when you talk about her leading on this

335
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:30,440
Speaker 1: issue and coming out and then yet saying it's wrong

336
00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:33,280
Speaker 1: for men to play in women's sports, like she's always

337
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:34,920
Speaker 1: been a leader on these types of issues.

338
00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:37,879
Speaker 3: Well and end. Listen, I will say Martina and avertslower.

339
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:40,240
Speaker 2: She's not a conservative, she's not a person of the right,

340
00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:44,320
Speaker 2: but she is one of the greatest women athletes to

341
00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:47,880
Speaker 2: have ever lived, and she's shown real courage saying, look,

342
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 2: if men compete in women's sports, men have significant physiological advantages,

343
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:56,480
Speaker 2: and it's not fair, it's not right. I mean, she recognized,

344
00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 2: even as one of the greatest women to have ever played,

345
00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:01,280
Speaker 2: that if she was playing again against Pete Sampras, if

346
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:05,880
Speaker 2: she was playing against you know, any of the top

347
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 2: male players, that that it would not be fair and

348
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:12,600
Speaker 2: she would not stand a chance. And that that's the

349
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:16,919
Speaker 2: simple reality. How much faster so you played Division one tennis,

350
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 2: How much faster does does a male college player hit

351
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:26,200
Speaker 2: a serve as compared to a top level female college player.

352
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:28,560
Speaker 1: When I was when I was playing college, if you

353
00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:31,119
Speaker 1: were a women at one of the top women in

354
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 1: college hitting.

355
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:34,359
Speaker 5: A big serve, you were probably.

356
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:36,600
Speaker 1: One hundred to one hundred and three four five miles

357
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:39,240
Speaker 1: an hour, and that would be like less than one

358
00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 1: percent of women in college at that time doing that men.

359
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:42,600
Speaker 5: So that's on the.

360
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:46,400
Speaker 2: Top level, top level, the fastest serves women are hitting.

361
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:47,240
Speaker 3: Now, how about how about I.

362
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:50,119
Speaker 1: Mean a lot of them were probably eighty to eighty five.

363
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:53,120
Speaker 1: Eighty six miles an hour would probably been the average then,

364
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:57,040
Speaker 1: and men the average was probably one hundred and five

365
00:19:57,119 --> 00:19:59,040
Speaker 1: to one hundred and ten was the average.

366
00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:00,840
Speaker 5: I means, significant kid difference.

367
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:03,800
Speaker 3: And how about the top level, the very best.

368
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 1: Top top So the fast serve I ever hit in

369
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:08,520
Speaker 1: my life I think was one. I want to say

370
00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 1: it was one twenty five, one twenty six.

371
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:11,879
Speaker 5: Yeah.

372
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:13,800
Speaker 3: That's not a tennis ball, that's a bullet.

373
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:15,879
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean it did. I mean there's a huge difference.

374
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:18,000
Speaker 1: You had that extra thirty miles on top of what

375
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:19,399
Speaker 1: like where the women were the men?

376
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:21,520
Speaker 2: It's night and day, Okay, And I'm going to say this,

377
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:23,440
Speaker 2: I don't mean to be disrespectful. I mean, you were

378
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 2: a good college tennis player, but you weren't one of

379
00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:27,399
Speaker 2: the very top men in the country.

380
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:29,639
Speaker 1: Correct, Yeah, no, yeah, one hundred percent. I mean the

381
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:32,080
Speaker 1: guys that were hitting the big serves. I remember one

382
00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 1: time practicing with Andy Roddick and and Andy was hitting

383
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:37,160
Speaker 1: one thirty seven, one forties.

384
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:37,800
Speaker 6: Wow.

385
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:40,679
Speaker 1: John Isner, buddy of mine. He's he I think he

386
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:43,240
Speaker 1: has the fastest serve on record, he was. I want

387
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:46,000
Speaker 1: to say it was one forty seven. Uh, if I

388
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:49,080
Speaker 1: remember correctly, I mean it's it's it's there's there's no woman, it's.

389
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:49,960
Speaker 3: Given percent more.

390
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:53,000
Speaker 2: One forty seven is fifty percent more than you said,

391
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:56,200
Speaker 2: like the top women college athletes would be serving about

392
00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:59,080
Speaker 2: one hundred or one hundred and two, correct. I mean

393
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:02,240
Speaker 2: that's that's why Martina Naberzelov has been so clear saying

394
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:05,600
Speaker 2: this is wildly Unfairwell, what she did this week is

395
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:08,600
Speaker 2: she called out Nike, and this is a bizarre story.

396
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 2: It is a story published in The New York Times

397
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:14,800
Speaker 2: that laid out evidence that Nike is financing a study

398
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:19,359
Speaker 2: of trans athletes and a study of trans athletes that

399
00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:25,719
Speaker 2: was called out online on x by women's sportswear company

400
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:29,680
Speaker 2: executive Jennifer Say, who went on social media and said,

401
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:33,080
Speaker 2: I'm still stunned by this. Nike is funding a study

402
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:37,760
Speaker 2: that disfigured young boys to understand if they can be

403
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:43,119
Speaker 2: physically impaired enough to compete with girls without significant quote

404
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:48,760
Speaker 2: retained male advantage. Why is a sneaker brand doing medical

405
00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:55,840
Speaker 2: experiments on children? And Martina and Abergelova retweeted that she said,

406
00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:59,440
Speaker 2: Joanna Harper is going too far as is Nike, needless

407
00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:02,919
Speaker 2: to say, and she calls out Nike, same company that

408
00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:06,439
Speaker 2: doctor Allison Felix for being pregnant. So she left and

409
00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:11,000
Speaker 2: formed her own company. Sayese, so thanks for nothing, Nike,

410
00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:13,960
Speaker 2: And I got to say, look, there are a lot

411
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:17,440
Speaker 2: of issues where the left has completely.

412
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:18,479
Speaker 3: Left the American people behind.

413
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:25,200
Speaker 2: Sanctuary cities, embracing voter fraud, open borders, supporting illegal immigrants

414
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:27,560
Speaker 2: and gang members, and wanting more gang members brought to

415
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:30,400
Speaker 2: this country. All of those are extreme. But I don't

416
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:33,720
Speaker 2: know that there is an issue that is more out

417
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:38,320
Speaker 2: of the mainstream and yet more required by elected Democrats

418
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:43,080
Speaker 2: then demanding that men compete against and in women's sports

419
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:44,960
Speaker 2: and boys compete in girls sports.

420
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:46,760
Speaker 3: And it is.

421
00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:50,960
Speaker 2: It was a major issue in twenty twenty four in

422
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:53,639
Speaker 2: the election. President Trump used the issue. I used the

423
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:56,720
Speaker 2: issue in my reelection campaign, and I got to say,

424
00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:59,520
Speaker 2: Senate races across the country use the issue, and the

425
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:02,440
Speaker 2: American people said, enough is enough, and what's interesting?

426
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:03,280
Speaker 4: All right?

427
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:07,720
Speaker 2: So in my reelection, when I was running ads against

428
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:10,439
Speaker 2: my opponent because he had voted repeatedly in favor of

429
00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:15,560
Speaker 2: men competing women's sports, the reporters thought, oh, well, Cruise

430
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:18,880
Speaker 2: is competing to the crazy right wing kooks, and they

431
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:22,680
Speaker 2: wrote articles like that, and I actually laughed at them

432
00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:25,760
Speaker 2: because we had done focus groups and in fact, we

433
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:31,520
Speaker 2: had done focus groups of undecided moderate women in Houston

434
00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:35,280
Speaker 2: and Dallas and we tested like thirty different messages on them.

435
00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:39,159
Speaker 2: You know, the number one message with undecided moderate women

436
00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:43,080
Speaker 2: in Houston and Dallas, what was that? Boys and girls sports?

437
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:44,000
Speaker 5: There you go.

438
00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 2: And the reporters didn't get it. They're like, oh, these

439
00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:49,120
Speaker 2: are crazy right wingers. I'm like, no, No, these are

440
00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:52,560
Speaker 2: soccer moms. These are soccer moms that are really pissed off.

441
00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:55,760
Speaker 2: And they don't want their daughter playing soccer with some

442
00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:58,600
Speaker 2: dude who's going to kick them and get a concussion.

443
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:00,560
Speaker 2: They don't want their daughter playing volley ball with some

444
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:03,280
Speaker 2: dude that's going to spike the ball on her. They

445
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:06,680
Speaker 2: don't want you know, they watched the Olympics and saw

446
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:10,800
Speaker 2: two guys beating the hell out of women boxers, and

447
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:14,720
Speaker 2: they said enough is enough. And what is amazing is,

448
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:17,280
Speaker 2: even though the left is so far out of step,

449
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:21,360
Speaker 2: Nike's continuing to double down and fund this extreme research.

450
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:24,840
Speaker 2: And we had to vote a month and a half

451
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:29,280
Speaker 2: ago in the Senate on stopping boys from competing in girls' sports.

452
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:32,679
Speaker 2: Do you know how many Democrats voted in favor of

453
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:34,320
Speaker 2: protecting girls in women's sports.

454
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:36,280
Speaker 1: I'm going to guess they voted as a party, and

455
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:38,280
Speaker 1: none of them said, we're going to be saying.

456
00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:42,240
Speaker 3: Today absolutely correct. Zero. And this was after the November election.

457
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:44,680
Speaker 2: If you live in a blue state and you happen

458
00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:47,399
Speaker 2: to have a Democrat senator who pretends to be moderate,

459
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:50,120
Speaker 2: which a lot of them do, know that your senator

460
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:53,800
Speaker 2: likewise voted for boys to compete against your daughters, for

461
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:58,040
Speaker 2: men to compete against women. And that's fundamentally unfair. And

462
00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:00,520
Speaker 2: if you don't believe me, listen to the eight Martina

463
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:01,600
Speaker 2: and Averchlova Center.

464
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:03,720
Speaker 1: By the way, we were talking a moment ago about

465
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:05,159
Speaker 1: fastest serves ever in history.

466
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:06,920
Speaker 5: I just want to give people the fastest.

467
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:10,200
Speaker 1: So Sam Groth had the fastest serve at a challenger

468
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:12,919
Speaker 1: event one hundred and sixty three point seven miles an

469
00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:17,120
Speaker 1: hour and the fastest recorded serve at an ATP tour,

470
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:19,679
Speaker 1: So that's its senior. The highest level can get event

471
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:22,840
Speaker 1: in tennis was by my good friend John Isner. We

472
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:25,280
Speaker 1: went to one of his last matches to watch actually

473
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:28,960
Speaker 1: in Houston. One hundred and fifty seven miles an hour.

474
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:30,840
Speaker 1: So if you think there's a difference but not a

475
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:33,280
Speaker 1: difference between men and women in sports, yeah, just look

476
00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:35,480
Speaker 1: at those numbers. You will never find a woman that

477
00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:37,159
Speaker 1: has ever hit anywhere close to that.

478
00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:38,800
Speaker 3: There is in difference.

479
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:41,000
Speaker 2: And Ben, let me say, I'm proud of you that

480
00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:43,440
Speaker 2: even in the course of the show you figured out

481
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:44,280
Speaker 2: how to use the Google.

482
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:45,440
Speaker 3: That was well done.

483
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:48,360
Speaker 5: I try, you know, I'm a quick learner here.

484
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:52,880
Speaker 1: All right, let's turn to the Democratic Party in disarray

485
00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:57,240
Speaker 1: and it's a real thing right now and CNN is

486
00:25:57,280 --> 00:26:00,959
Speaker 1: saying it, so don't trust us. CNN have a freak

487
00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:04,720
Speaker 1: out moment on TV with new polling data and here

488
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:05,840
Speaker 1: is what they said.

489
00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:09,639
Speaker 4: Yeah, this I think is a revolt, a revolt that

490
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:12,800
Speaker 4: is going on within the Democratic Party right now. Democrats

491
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 4: and their leaders, I mean, take a look nationally, Hello

492
00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:19,000
Speaker 4: Democrats on dem leaders in Congress the belief that they

493
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:20,920
Speaker 4: will do the right thing when it comes to the economy.

494
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:23,840
Speaker 4: Last year, at this time, eighty percent believe that the

495
00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:26,080
Speaker 4: Democratic leaders in Congress would do the right thing when

496
00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:26,800
Speaker 4: it comes to the economy.

497
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:28,040
Speaker 5: And keep in mind this as Democrats.

498
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:30,320
Speaker 4: Look at where we are now, that number has been

499
00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:34,440
Speaker 4: slashed in half to just thirty nine percent. Holy Toledo.

500
00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:36,360
Speaker 5: That is the lowest number.

501
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:39,720
Speaker 4: By far in Gallup polling. The lowest previous was just

502
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:42,560
Speaker 4: sixty percent, which is twenty one points higher than this.

503
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:47,399
Speaker 4: Democrats hate, hate, hate, hate what they're congressional leaders in

504
00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:49,960
Speaker 4: Washington are doing right now on the key issue of

505
00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:52,720
Speaker 4: the day, the economy, and their confidence has fallen through

506
00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:55,159
Speaker 4: the floor. Mister Berman, all right, Chuck Schumer is the

507
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:57,160
Speaker 4: Senate Democratic leader right now.

508
00:26:57,240 --> 00:26:59,719
Speaker 7: How we're feelings about him, particularly in New York.

509
00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:01,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, let's go to the state of New York.

510
00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:04,199
Speaker 4: It's what's always on my mind. Right We're in the

511
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:06,760
Speaker 4: state of New York right now. New York Democrats on

512
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:08,960
Speaker 4: Chuck Schumer view him favorably.

513
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:10,359
Speaker 3: In December of twenty.

514
00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:12,399
Speaker 4: Twenty four, that was just a few months ago, it

515
00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:14,959
Speaker 4: was seventy three percent. Look at where that number has

516
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:17,160
Speaker 4: fallen to in just a few months. It is now

517
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:20,439
Speaker 4: down to just fifty two percent. That is the lowest

518
00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:22,600
Speaker 4: I could ever find and see on a college on

519
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:25,399
Speaker 4: how democrats in Chuck Schumer's home state knew him. And

520
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:27,600
Speaker 4: keep in mind, if you're thinking about a primary challenge,

521
00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:30,000
Speaker 4: it would be a few years away. But Alexandio Costio

522
00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:34,480
Speaker 4: Cortes's favorable rating among Democrats is considerably higher in the sixties,

523
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:36,480
Speaker 4: so he is doing quite poorly.

524
00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:38,440
Speaker 5: In his own home state of New York.

525
00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:39,919
Speaker 4: I never thought i'd see the day in which just

526
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:42,280
Speaker 4: fifty two percent of New York Democrats with view Chuck

527
00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:43,080
Speaker 4: Schumer favorably.

528
00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:44,199
Speaker 5: It's almost unfathomable.

529
00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:49,119
Speaker 1: It's almost unfathomable. Now here's the takeaway for me Center.

530
00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:53,280
Speaker 1: The fact that AOC has a higher approval rating than

531
00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:58,119
Speaker 1: Chuck Schumer means a Democratic party is dead. The socialist

532
00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:01,960
Speaker 1: Marxists and Communists have taken get it over and now

533
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:04,760
Speaker 1: they're out with these old guys. We also saw one

534
00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:07,720
Speaker 1: of your colleagues, Dick Durbin, hanging it up, saying I'm

535
00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:09,560
Speaker 1: out of here, I'm not running for reelection.

536
00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:12,960
Speaker 2: Well, what is stunning about that is a couple of things.

537
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 2: Number One, as they're relaying poll numbers that show Democrats

538
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:21,800
Speaker 2: unhappy with the Democrat leadership in Congress. The reason they're

539
00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:25,639
Speaker 2: unhappy is they think Chuck Schumer is not crazy enough.

540
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:31,240
Speaker 2: They think Akeem Jeffries is not crazy enough. The problem

541
00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:34,120
Speaker 2: and end. Listen, We're in a very polarized society. Both

542
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:37,800
Speaker 2: both sides are pulling further and further apart. But people

543
00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:42,920
Speaker 2: that identify as partisan Democrats, they hate Donald Trump. And

544
00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:45,280
Speaker 2: I'm not quite sure what they want Chuck Schumer to

545
00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:48,560
Speaker 2: be doing. Maybe lighting himself on fire on the Senate floor,

546
00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:51,640
Speaker 2: running around naked, screaming at the top of his lungs.

547
00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:54,200
Speaker 2: I don't know, you know, maybe they just want him

548
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:57,440
Speaker 2: to join AOC and Bernie Sanders on their Fight the

549
00:28:57,480 --> 00:29:00,600
Speaker 2: Oligarchy tour. Oh to be clear, they're flying around in

550
00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:06,080
Speaker 2: private jets to fight the oligarchy, which actually may symbolize

551
00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:08,960
Speaker 2: today's Democrat Party more than anything else. They could do

552
00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:11,600
Speaker 2: to get off their private jet and stand up and

553
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:14,280
Speaker 2: say fight the oligarchy. And by the way, George Soros,

554
00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:19,360
Speaker 2: thanks for the money. But the Democrats want their elected

555
00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:22,440
Speaker 2: leaders to be even more crazy that. And this is

556
00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:26,880
Speaker 2: after four years of absolute shambles of the Obama administration.

557
00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:30,800
Speaker 2: And what's striking also about that clip you played is CNN,

558
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:34,719
Speaker 2: which is a propaganda outlet for the Democrat Party, is

559
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:38,760
Speaker 2: panicking that they can't believe it. They are terrified. The

560
00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:43,440
Speaker 2: media is in desiray. You mentioned Dick Durbin, Democrat Cenater

561
00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:46,640
Speaker 2: from Illinois, announced he was not running for reelection. Look,

562
00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:51,959
Speaker 2: Dick Durbin is the number two Democrat in the entire Senate.

563
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:54,840
Speaker 2: He is number two only to Schumer, and he's calling

564
00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:57,840
Speaker 2: it quits. He is also the top the ranking member,

565
00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:00,680
Speaker 2: the top Democrat on the Senate jud Year Committee. Used

566
00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:03,520
Speaker 2: to be the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee. And

567
00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:06,640
Speaker 2: so they've got senior Democrats that are saying, get me

568
00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:07,480
Speaker 2: out of this place.

569
00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:09,520
Speaker 1: Well, and by the way, he said something that was

570
00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:13,320
Speaker 1: really interesting, how low the bar has fallen. So Dick

571
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:16,400
Speaker 1: Durbin's excuse for why is not running for reelection was

572
00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:19,400
Speaker 1: in essence, well, I don't want to become Joe Biden.

573
00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:22,840
Speaker 5: And he put it this way in the interview.

574
00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:26,360
Speaker 7: Listen, a senator yesterday, after you made your announcement that

575
00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:28,200
Speaker 7: you would not be seeking reelection, there were a number

576
00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:31,680
Speaker 7: of Democrats who privately really applauded your choice, saying that

577
00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:33,240
Speaker 7: it was that it was something the right thing to do,

578
00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:35,800
Speaker 7: to step aside and perhaps let a younger generation of

579
00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:39,240
Speaker 7: politicians step to the forefront. We know the idea of

580
00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:43,360
Speaker 7: democratic elected officials and age has been a hot topic

581
00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:44,560
Speaker 7: in recent years.

582
00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:46,560
Speaker 3: Do you hope do you agree.

583
00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:46,840
Speaker 4: With that thinking?

584
00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:50,280
Speaker 7: Do you think it is time now for younger politicians,

585
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:52,280
Speaker 7: the next generation to come forward?

586
00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:53,440
Speaker 3: Well?

587
00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:56,520
Speaker 6: I think this it's more complex. It is not just

588
00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:58,760
Speaker 6: a question of a number what your age is. Look

589
00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:01,960
Speaker 6: at Bernie Sanders, for god sake, still drawing thousands and

590
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:05,520
Speaker 6: thousands of people out for rallies, and he's a few

591
00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:07,959
Speaker 6: years older than I am. The bottom line is are

592
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:10,800
Speaker 6: you competent? Can you still do the job? That's the

593
00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:13,600
Speaker 6: question the voter should ask. But should a new generation

594
00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:17,200
Speaker 6: be interested in public service? You bet. I've spent my

595
00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:21,040
Speaker 6: time in office trying to encourage younger people to get involved.

596
00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:25,200
Speaker 8: Senator Durbin, it's Ali vitally. I wonder if I can

597
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:27,040
Speaker 8: pick up on something you just said, this idea of

598
00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:29,440
Speaker 8: are you competent? Are you able to do this job?

599
00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:31,800
Speaker 8: In the Senate? As you see this push from the

600
00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:34,520
Speaker 8: grassroots that lamiir is talking about here. Do you think

601
00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:38,040
Speaker 8: enough of your colleagues are asking themselves those fundamental questions

602
00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:40,000
Speaker 8: about if they can continue to serve.

603
00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:44,240
Speaker 6: I think so. I think if you're honest about yourself

604
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:47,520
Speaker 6: and your reputation, you want to leave when you can

605
00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:49,440
Speaker 6: still walk out the front door and not be carried

606
00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:50,200
Speaker 6: out the back door.

607
00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:53,360
Speaker 1: I mean, you hear that, and it's basically saying, well,

608
00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:55,440
Speaker 1: I'm not going to pull at Joe Biden, and other

609
00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:58,120
Speaker 1: people need to look at this as well. I think

610
00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:00,800
Speaker 1: clearly knocking Joe Biden in that and what he just

611
00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:01,800
Speaker 1: said as well.

612
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:05,880
Speaker 2: Well, And nobody in that discussion acknowledged that Dick Durbin

613
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:09,160
Speaker 2: spent four years lying to the American people saying that

614
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:13,520
Speaker 2: Joe Biden was not senile, that he was mentally capable

615
00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:15,920
Speaker 2: to do the job. By the way, CNN spent four

616
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:18,440
Speaker 2: years lying to the American people screaming that it was

617
00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:22,160
Speaker 2: a conspiracy theory to point out what is obviously true

618
00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:25,600
Speaker 2: and was obviously true then that Biden's mental capacity was

619
00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:28,920
Speaker 2: severely diminished. I will say this, and actually it might

620
00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:31,080
Speaker 2: surprise you. I'm going to say something nice about Durbin

621
00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:34,320
Speaker 2: So I've served with Durbin for thirteen years on the

622
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:37,120
Speaker 2: Senate Judiciary Committee, and I'll tell you what I tell

623
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:41,880
Speaker 2: any nominees that are coming before Judiciary, I tell them

624
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:45,680
Speaker 2: Durbin is the single most dangerous Democrat on the Judiciary Committee,

625
00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:49,560
Speaker 2: because I think he's the smartest Democrat, and he is

626
00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:54,360
Speaker 2: radical and extreme, but he's very good at sounding reasonable.

627
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:56,800
Speaker 2: There are other Democrats that are radical and extreme, a

628
00:32:56,920 --> 00:32:59,520
Speaker 2: Sheldon white House and Adam Schiff, but they sound like

629
00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:03,600
Speaker 2: lunatic when they're ranting. Everyone knows their lunatics. Part of

630
00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:08,480
Speaker 2: what makes Durbin such a dangerous questioner for Republican nominees

631
00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:12,719
Speaker 2: or Republican witnesses is he's very good at masking his

632
00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:16,959
Speaker 2: extreme policies in ways that sound much more reasonable than

633
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:20,600
Speaker 2: his colleagues. And so I will say for Democrats, seeing

634
00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:23,600
Speaker 2: Durbin hang it up is a real loss to them.

635
00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:25,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, no doubt. Don't forget.
