1 00:00:01,440 --> 00:00:01,880 Speaker 1: Welcome. 2 00:00:01,920 --> 00:00:05,000 Speaker 2: It is Verdict with Sentater, Ted Kruz, Ben Ferguson with 3 00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:08,560 Speaker 2: You Center. There is big news from Capitol Hill today 4 00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:09,720 Speaker 2: that you get to break. 5 00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:11,600 Speaker 3: Well, that's exactly right. 6 00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:14,400 Speaker 4: First of all, the news that is consuming the globe, 7 00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:17,400 Speaker 4: which is Joe Biden, continues in free fall. It keeps 8 00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:20,320 Speaker 4: getting worse and worse and worse. There's the disastrous Big 9 00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:24,560 Speaker 4: Boy press conference. But beyond that, there is the cabinet 10 00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:27,600 Speaker 4: now leaking on him that they haven't had a cabinet 11 00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:30,160 Speaker 4: meeting in eight months, that the cabinet meetings they did 12 00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:34,479 Speaker 4: have were prescripted where they're walking through kabuki theater. There's 13 00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:38,280 Speaker 4: also the leak coming out of the Biden campaign itself 14 00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:42,680 Speaker 4: that they've begun polling Kamala Harris versus Donald Trump. And 15 00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:45,400 Speaker 4: we're going to talk about what it means that the 16 00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:49,159 Speaker 4: internal team, the cabinet, in the campaign is turning on 17 00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:51,280 Speaker 4: Joe Biden as this free fall continues. We're going to 18 00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:53,840 Speaker 4: get into that in depth. But before we do it, 19 00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:56,000 Speaker 4: we're going to cover a story that nobody else is 20 00:00:56,040 --> 00:01:01,400 Speaker 4: covering because it is an important story, which is yesterday 21 00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:06,120 Speaker 4: on Capitol Hill, there was a big, big victory on 22 00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:09,240 Speaker 4: Capitol Hill. Y'all recall we had a prior podcast where 23 00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:13,360 Speaker 4: we discussed this radical left wing judge that Joe Biden nominated. 24 00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:17,480 Speaker 4: Sarah Netburn, a magistrate judge in New York who is 25 00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:21,400 Speaker 4: an extreme leftist. She was handpicked by Chuck Schumer, and 26 00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:25,760 Speaker 4: among other things, she has this stunning decision where there 27 00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:30,039 Speaker 4: was this six foot two guy who was a serial rapist, 28 00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:34,080 Speaker 4: a child rapist, who decided at age fifty two that 29 00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:38,200 Speaker 4: he was a woman, and this judge ordered that he 30 00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:42,080 Speaker 4: go to a woman's prison and be housed with women. 31 00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:46,440 Speaker 4: And she disregarded the rights of those women, She disregarded 32 00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:50,840 Speaker 4: common sense, she disregarded sanity. Well, I cross examined her 33 00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:55,160 Speaker 4: a number of weeks ago, and Thursday morning, the Senate 34 00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:58,200 Speaker 4: Judiciary Committee had the markup when we were voting on it, 35 00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:03,920 Speaker 4: and I spoke again the nomination, and we had a 36 00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:04,919 Speaker 4: stunning victory. 37 00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:06,520 Speaker 3: We're going to get into that in just a moment. 38 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:10,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's incredible. This June marked two years since the 39 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:11,919 Speaker 2: overturn of Roe v. 40 00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:12,440 Speaker 1: Wade. 41 00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:15,000 Speaker 2: But did you know that the number of abortions actually 42 00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:18,040 Speaker 2: increased the following year In twenty twenty three, the amount 43 00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:21,960 Speaker 2: of abortions reached its highest level since twenty twelve, with 44 00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:24,800 Speaker 2: the abortion pill accounting for up to sixty three percent 45 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:29,160 Speaker 2: of all abortions. It's tragically no surprise well Preborn is 46 00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:33,399 Speaker 2: continuing to stand strong for women in crisis and at 47 00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:37,440 Speaker 2: risk babies.

This was a story is that 62 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:42,000 Speaker 2: you you mentioned a moment ago, but it is not 63 00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 2: going to be covered by the media. And it's a 64 00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:51,080 Speaker 2: very very significant victory to stop this radical judge. How 65 00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:55,320 Speaker 2: did you get any Democrat to come along and to 66 00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:57,840 Speaker 2: look at this woman's record and realize this is not 67 00:03:58,040 --> 00:03:59,280 Speaker 2: someone we should have on the court. 68 00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:02,320 Speaker 4: Well, I'm going to explain this, but I got to 69 00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:04,840 Speaker 4: tell you the victory was a surprise. The Democrats were 70 00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:07,760 Speaker 4: not expecting it. The chairman of the committee, Dick Durbin, 71 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:12,160 Speaker 4: was not expecting for the good guys, for common sense, 72 00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:15,360 Speaker 4: for reality to prevail. They were assuming they'd get a 73 00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:19,240 Speaker 4: straight party line vote. That's not what happened. But before 74 00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:21,480 Speaker 4: I walked through what happened, I want you to hear 75 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:24,640 Speaker 4: my remarks at the markup. And this is a little 76 00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:29,400 Speaker 4: bit lengthy, but this is what I said at the markup, 77 00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:31,680 Speaker 4: and then I'm going to tell you the results and 78 00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:33,000 Speaker 4: how it. 79 00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:37,839 Speaker 3: Produced a stunning victory. Have a listen. 80 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:40,120 Speaker 5: Thank you, missus. Chairman. 81 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:44,159 Speaker 4: I have deep concerns about Judge Sarah Netburn's nomination, and 82 00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:48,640 Speaker 4: specifically about her radical rulings that endanger women by placing 83 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:53,279 Speaker 4: biological men in women's prisons, and given the avalanche of 84 00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:58,279 Speaker 4: letters this committee has received from women's groups and female inmates, 85 00:04:58,760 --> 00:04:59,120 Speaker 4: I'm not. 86 00:04:59,080 --> 00:04:59,839 Speaker 5: The only person with co. 87 00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:05,520 Speaker 4: In the case of JJS versus ws Plyler, the prisoner 88 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:11,280 Speaker 4: dubbed July Justine Shelby his real name is William mclin 89 00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:13,360 Speaker 4: was a serial rapist. 90 00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:15,720 Speaker 5: There's no other way to say it. 91 00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:20,160 Speaker 4: He was also a six foot two, fully intact biological man. 92 00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:25,960 Speaker 4: His past criminal offenses included child molestation of a nine 93 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:30,359 Speaker 4: year old boy, rape of a seventeen year old girl, 94 00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:35,520 Speaker 4: and criminal deviot conduct. No factual details are in the record, 95 00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:39,160 Speaker 4: but the state defined the offense as quote compelling with 96 00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:43,839 Speaker 4: force or the threat of force sexual conduct. As a 97 00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:47,839 Speaker 4: result of these offenses, Shelby was incarcerated for eighteen years. 98 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:53,640 Speaker 4: One year after being released on parole, Shelby broke parole 99 00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 4: by circulating violent child pornography and so back in prison 100 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:03,680 Speaker 4: and at fifty one years of age, Shelby decided that 101 00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:06,800 Speaker 4: he was a woman, and as a self declared woman, 102 00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:11,400 Speaker 4: he demanded to be jailed with biological women, and failing 103 00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:13,600 Speaker 4: to lock him up with other women, he argued, was 104 00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:17,120 Speaker 4: a violation of the Eighth Amendment. Now. Luckily for Shelby, 105 00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:20,040 Speaker 4: his lawsuit ended up in front of Judge Netburn, putting 106 00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:25,800 Speaker 4: political ideology over justice and reality. Magistrate Judge Netburn recommended 107 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:30,480 Speaker 4: that Shelby quote be transferred immediately to a woman's facility, 108 00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:35,480 Speaker 4: despite a lifelong pattern of rape, sexual assault, and obvious 109 00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:42,919 Speaker 4: sexually predatory instincts. Magistrate Judge Netburn's opinion declared that quote 110 00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:48,520 Speaker 4: there are no signs that petitioner is at risk of reoffending. 111 00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:50,160 Speaker 5: That defies words. 112 00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:54,040 Speaker 4: Magistrate Judge Netburn doubled down on her comment to a 113 00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:59,360 Speaker 4: radical political ideology in her opinion, casting aside any concerns 114 00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:00,640 Speaker 4: for the female prisoners. 115 00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:03,039 Speaker 5: Judge Netburn wrote. 116 00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:06,799 Speaker 4: The BOP also posits that permitting petitioner to live among 117 00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:12,400 Speaker 4: women will be traumatizing and possibly dangerous to them. This 118 00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:17,760 Speaker 4: concern is overblown. Those are her words. Netbird's opinion went 119 00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:21,520 Speaker 4: on quote the BOP's repeated refusal to transfer petitioner to 120 00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:25,800 Speaker 4: a woman's facility to further her gender transition, despite knowing 121 00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:29,720 Speaker 4: the condition of petitioners physical and mental health violates the 122 00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:34,120 Speaker 4: petitioner's Eighth Amendment rights. This judge is ruling the Constitution 123 00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:37,360 Speaker 4: requires that biological men who wake up one day and 124 00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:40,880 Speaker 4: say I'm a woman have to be housed with female prisoners. 125 00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:44,720 Speaker 4: This judge also ruled, in effect that female prisoners have 126 00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:48,760 Speaker 4: no rights. The Democrats on this committee like to say 127 00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:51,880 Speaker 4: they support the rights of women, but we're about to 128 00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:55,760 Speaker 4: find out whether they do or not, because in this case, 129 00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,960 Speaker 4: you're taking a six foot two man who is a 130 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:04,840 Speaker 4: serial rapist, and this judge sent that man to Fort Worth, Texas. 131 00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:07,600 Speaker 4: I asked that judge, do the women in that prison 132 00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:10,720 Speaker 4: have any right if it was your mother, if it 133 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:13,280 Speaker 4: was your daughter, if it was your wife, how would 134 00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:16,160 Speaker 4: you feel if your daughter was Howe's with a six 135 00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:20,680 Speaker 4: foot two man who's a serial rapist. Because political, by 136 00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:25,320 Speaker 4: ideology matters more than sanity. And by the way, the 137 00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:30,400 Speaker 4: threat that this ideologue said is overblown is happening all 138 00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:34,240 Speaker 4: over the country. For example, in Judge Netburn's home state 139 00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:37,040 Speaker 4: of New York, in twenty twenty four, a former prisoner 140 00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:40,160 Speaker 4: at Rikers Island claimed that she was groped and raped 141 00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:44,959 Speaker 4: by a male inmate posing as a transgender woman. There'd 142 00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:48,120 Speaker 4: also been a prior rape attempt at Rikers in twenty 143 00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:52,840 Speaker 4: twenty one by another transgender inmate against a biological female inmate. 144 00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:58,120 Speaker 4: In New Jersey, in twenty twenty two, a transgender inmate 145 00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:02,319 Speaker 4: impregnated not one, but two female inmates. 146 00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:05,160 Speaker 5: In California, a. 147 00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:08,760 Speaker 4: Woman's group sued the Department of Corrections after transgender prisoner 148 00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:13,440 Speaker 4: raped two women, impregnating one of them. And in the 149 00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:17,079 Speaker 4: Chairman's home state of Illinois, a female inmate sue the 150 00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:21,360 Speaker 4: Department of Corrections after she was raped by a transgender inmate. 151 00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:24,280 Speaker 4: This is happening over and over and over again, and 152 00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:28,040 Speaker 4: it's because of ideology being put ahead of common sense. 153 00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:32,000 Speaker 4: At her hearing, I asked Judge Netburn, do you regret 154 00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:36,280 Speaker 4: your decision transferring a serial rapist, a biological man, to 155 00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:41,440 Speaker 4: a woman's prison. Her answer was, quote no, I faithfully 156 00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:43,960 Speaker 4: applied the law to the facts. That is not the law, 157 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,600 Speaker 4: and these are not the facts. As I mentioned at 158 00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:49,640 Speaker 4: the outset, this committee has received letters from female prisoners 159 00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:54,080 Speaker 4: horrified at the prospect of being housed with a biological male, 160 00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:59,559 Speaker 4: fearing quite reasonably for their safety. Interestingly, the Chairman has 161 00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:03,079 Speaker 4: not read to you the letters those female inmates have 162 00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:07,679 Speaker 4: sent to this committee, pleading on this committee to use 163 00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:09,640 Speaker 4: some common sense. I'm going to read a couple for you. 164 00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:14,800 Speaker 4: Alissa Kay, a current inmate. Here's what she wrote to us. Quote, 165 00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:20,320 Speaker 4: people are already getting raped and nobody cares. Honestly, someone 166 00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:22,679 Speaker 4: in here is going to end up getting killed. Having 167 00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:26,640 Speaker 4: men here in prison with us disrupts any sense of rehabilitation. 168 00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:30,720 Speaker 4: We fear for our safety. We have further loss of 169 00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:34,960 Speaker 4: privacy as we are forced to share intimate spaces with 170 00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:39,760 Speaker 4: a man. We watch some as some prisons are victims 171 00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:43,319 Speaker 4: of abuse, and others willingly engage in sexual acts in 172 00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:48,880 Speaker 4: our shared space. This isn't right, This isn't fair. Do 173 00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:52,000 Speaker 4: any of our Democratic members care about Alissa Kay's concerns? 174 00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:55,320 Speaker 4: How about Amy I, a former inmate. Here's what she 175 00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:58,160 Speaker 4: wrote to us to say, quote, I urge the committee 176 00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:01,680 Speaker 4: to watch my story, the story of other female prisoners 177 00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:05,839 Speaker 4: and a brave resigned lieutenant who spoke out against this 178 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:11,400 Speaker 4: anti woman policy. Women, including incarcerated women. Just because a 179 00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:13,920 Speaker 4: woman is in a prison doesn't mean she loses her rights. 180 00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:15,920 Speaker 4: That's me talking, not the letter. I'll get back to 181 00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:20,600 Speaker 4: the letter. Women, including incarcerated women, shouldn't be erased as 182 00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:24,840 Speaker 4: a matter of law to accommodate the interest of men. 183 00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:28,800 Speaker 4: One person's rights cannot come at the costs of another's. 184 00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:32,280 Speaker 4: Here's another letter, Evelyn V. A former inmate. She wrote 185 00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:35,360 Speaker 4: to us and said, quote, as a former inmate in 186 00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:38,920 Speaker 4: the California State prison system, I share your concern about 187 00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:42,400 Speaker 4: how women's rights are being pushed aside compared to the 188 00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:44,960 Speaker 4: interest of men who are self identifying at women and 189 00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:45,920 Speaker 4: getting entry to. 190 00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:47,880 Speaker 5: Facilities meant for women. 191 00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:51,520 Speaker 4: Now, at the hearing, Judge Netburn told us again she 192 00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:55,720 Speaker 4: thinks concerns of the risk of Shelby engaging in sexual 193 00:11:55,720 --> 00:12:01,600 Speaker 4: reoffense are quote overblown. I strongly disagree it. As it happens, 194 00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:09,120 Speaker 4: we now have facts just yesterday yesterday exquisite timing, by 195 00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:13,840 Speaker 4: the way, on this markup. Yesterday, the Washington Freebacon reported 196 00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:19,160 Speaker 4: that Shelby, who is housed at FMC Carswell in Fort Worth, Texas, 197 00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:24,320 Speaker 4: was placed in administrative segregation for exposing himself to female prisoners, 198 00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:30,480 Speaker 4: apparently joking that he was fully intact. Congratulations, Judge Netburn. 199 00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:32,520 Speaker 4: That's what you're doing to the women in this prison. 200 00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:38,400 Speaker 4: You're subjecting them to victimization and assault. If a guy 201 00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:41,560 Speaker 4: on the subway did this, whipping out his genitalia to 202 00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:44,600 Speaker 4: you on the subway, you deck the guy and arrest 203 00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:48,800 Speaker 4: him for indecent exposure, but this radical says he's got 204 00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:52,280 Speaker 4: a constitutional right to be there and do this. I 205 00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:55,560 Speaker 4: have to say this is an issue. Everyone on this 206 00:12:55,600 --> 00:13:00,720 Speaker 4: committee knows this isn't right every one of us. Every 207 00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:03,080 Speaker 4: one of us would be horrified if a loved one 208 00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:06,520 Speaker 4: found out she was the cellmate of a six foot 209 00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:09,840 Speaker 4: two man who was a serial rapist. But in today's 210 00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:14,560 Speaker 4: topsy turvy political world, the way you get nominated to 211 00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:17,400 Speaker 4: be a judge is you demonstrate you're a radical. I 212 00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:20,880 Speaker 4: know people must be saying, well, gosh, New York has 213 00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:25,120 Speaker 4: twenty million people, they couldn't find one person qualified to 214 00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:27,120 Speaker 4: be a judge to give a lifetime appointment to. 215 00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:28,280 Speaker 5: And that's the point. 216 00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:32,800 Speaker 4: What they're looking for is show us you're a radical. 217 00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:37,080 Speaker 4: This is an opportunity for every senator to demonstrate whether 218 00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:38,920 Speaker 4: you'll stand up for the rights of women or not. 219 00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:42,280 Speaker 4: I sadly expect a party line vote on this, but 220 00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:44,520 Speaker 4: I will say this, if we have a party line vote, mister. 221 00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:45,720 Speaker 5: Chairman, I'm going to make a request. 222 00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:49,240 Speaker 4: I'm going to request, mister Chairman, that you ask Majority 223 00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:52,680 Speaker 4: Leader Schumer to expedite a floor vote on this judge. 224 00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:53,240 Speaker 5: On the floor. 225 00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:55,719 Speaker 4: I want to see Senator Tester vote on whether a 226 00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:57,640 Speaker 4: six foot two man should go to a women's prison. 227 00:13:57,679 --> 00:13:59,200 Speaker 4: I want to see Senator Brown, I want to see 228 00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:02,400 Speaker 4: every Democrat go on record, do you give a damn 229 00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:05,120 Speaker 4: about the women in your state or not. It's a 230 00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:07,840 Speaker 4: simple choice, and it's a choice that will be defined 231 00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:09,160 Speaker 4: by the word yes of the word no. 232 00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:14,120 Speaker 2: Senator, you gave that speech hoping that there would be 233 00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:19,080 Speaker 2: people that would obviously hear it and would then say, Okay, 234 00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:20,560 Speaker 2: maybe he's right. 235 00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:22,800 Speaker 1: That's apparently what happened. 236 00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:26,000 Speaker 3: It is and it was remarkable. 237 00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:28,960 Speaker 4: Look, I assumed what would happen is what has happened 238 00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:31,560 Speaker 4: over and over and over again in the Senate Judiciary Committee, 239 00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:34,920 Speaker 4: that everyone would just rubber stamp the nomination voted out, 240 00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:37,960 Speaker 4: and that really I was speaking to the American people, 241 00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:41,480 Speaker 4: and ultimately to all one hundred Senators trying to defeat 242 00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:43,720 Speaker 4: this judge on the floor of the Senate. But after 243 00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:47,680 Speaker 4: I spoke, Mike Lee spoke, and Lindsey Graham spoke, they 244 00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:51,280 Speaker 4: both were very effective laying out this judge's record like 245 00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:54,200 Speaker 4: I did, and then they began the role call vote 246 00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:56,480 Speaker 4: and the way the role call vote works is the 247 00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:59,840 Speaker 4: clerk of the committee begins reading out each of the senators, 248 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,920 Speaker 4: and it starts with the senior senator in the majority 249 00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:05,160 Speaker 4: who's not the chairman, and it goes down in seniority, 250 00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:09,360 Speaker 4: so the clerk goes Senator Whitehouse. Senator white House is 251 00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:13,640 Speaker 4: Sheldon white House, Democrat from Rhode Island. Senator white House I. Next, 252 00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:19,440 Speaker 4: Senator Klobachar Amy Klobachar, Democrat from Minnesota. Senator Klobachar I. 253 00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:26,080 Speaker 4: Next Chris Coon's Democrat from Delaware. Senator Coons I. Next 254 00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:32,680 Speaker 4: Richard Blumenthal, Democrat from Connecticut. Senator Bloomenthal I. Next Mazie Herono, 255 00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:37,440 Speaker 4: Democrat from Hawaii. Senator Herono I. Next is Corey Booker, 256 00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:42,120 Speaker 4: Democrat from New Jersey. Senator Booker I. Next is Alex Padia, 257 00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:47,320 Speaker 4: Democrat from California. Senator Padilla I. Next is John Ossoff, 258 00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:50,400 Speaker 4: Democrat from Georgia. Senator Ossoff. 259 00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:51,760 Speaker 5: No. 260 00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:56,240 Speaker 4: Wow, you could have heard a pin drop when he 261 00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:59,440 Speaker 4: said that the last two members of the Democrats going 262 00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:02,080 Speaker 4: down the die where Peter Welch, Democrat from Virginia he 263 00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:06,280 Speaker 4: votes I and Lafonza Butler, Democrat from California. She votes IE, 264 00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:08,560 Speaker 4: and then Dick Durbin, the chairman at the end, votes I. 265 00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:14,080 Speaker 4: But John Ossoff, Democrat from Georgia, voted no, and all 266 00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:17,960 Speaker 4: the Republicans voted now, and as a result, this judge 267 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:20,840 Speaker 4: was defeated eleven to ten. Now, I'll tell you, I 268 00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:23,680 Speaker 4: am convinced that Dick Durbin, the chairman, had no idea 269 00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:26,040 Speaker 4: assof was going to vote no. And I think he 270 00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:29,720 Speaker 4: was genuinely shocked when OSAF said no. They thought they 271 00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:31,360 Speaker 4: were going to have a party line vote and move 272 00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:35,920 Speaker 4: her on. And I think Osoff thought about it and said, Okay, 273 00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:38,080 Speaker 4: I got a run for reelection in the state of Georgia, 274 00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:40,840 Speaker 4: and if I vote for a judge that sends a 275 00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:46,560 Speaker 4: six foot two serial rapist to a woman's prison, I 276 00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:47,680 Speaker 4: ain't get reelected. 277 00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:51,160 Speaker 2: And do you guys talk before these votes like that 278 00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:54,640 Speaker 2: with Democrats, Remember, so you were expecting this to be 279 00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:56,880 Speaker 2: a they would move it on as well. Right, you 280 00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:58,640 Speaker 2: were as shy as probably Durbin. 281 00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:01,440 Speaker 4: A hundred per cent of the times we've done this, 282 00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:06,240 Speaker 4: they vote party line. Look, the Democrats put the most 283 00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:11,640 Speaker 4: partisan Democrats on the Judiciary Committee. You know, different committees 284 00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:16,919 Speaker 4: have different the Ethoses Judiciary Committee is like the Roman Coliseum. 285 00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:19,879 Speaker 4: You strap on your armor and you get battle axes 286 00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:23,200 Speaker 4: and you go fight the barbarians. The Commerce Committee, which 287 00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:26,480 Speaker 4: I'm the ranking member on, it's totally different. Commerce Committee. 288 00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:29,399 Speaker 4: It's Kumbai Yah. You go arm in arm, you work together, 289 00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:32,040 Speaker 4: you cooperate. And what's interesting is many of the same 290 00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:34,760 Speaker 4: people are on both committees. But it's just like the 291 00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:37,919 Speaker 4: committees operate differently, they take up different topics. And so 292 00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:42,960 Speaker 4: my entire remarks at the markup, I assumed none of 293 00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:45,240 Speaker 4: these Democrats, it doesn't matter what I say, they're not 294 00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:46,040 Speaker 4: going to listen to me. 295 00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:47,000 Speaker 3: They're going to vote yes. 296 00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:49,240 Speaker 4: But really what I was aiming, Look, it's why I 297 00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:52,480 Speaker 4: asked Durban, when you guys party line vote this out. 298 00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:54,760 Speaker 4: We ought to have a vote on the floor because 299 00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:57,880 Speaker 4: we would have defeated this judge on the floor. Joe 300 00:17:57,880 --> 00:17:59,639 Speaker 4: Manchin was not going to vote for this judge. I 301 00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:03,400 Speaker 4: think we might well have gotten Kirsten Cinema. And as 302 00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:06,320 Speaker 4: I mentioned, for Tester and Brown a couple of week, 303 00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:08,560 Speaker 4: couple of months before an election to vote for a 304 00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:12,160 Speaker 4: judge who did this that could cost them their elections. 305 00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:13,840 Speaker 4: And so I was like all right, if you want 306 00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:16,000 Speaker 4: to move this radical, let's get a vote right now, 307 00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:18,000 Speaker 4: and let's let the voters have a say in this. 308 00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:21,960 Speaker 4: I was very confident we would defeat her on the floor. 309 00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:26,320 Speaker 4: I got to say, I was stunned when Asaf voted no, 310 00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:29,600 Speaker 4: and I think the Democrats were too. It has never 311 00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:35,560 Speaker 4: happened since I've been on Judiciary. Republicans have done that. 312 00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:37,520 Speaker 4: Republicans did that to Trump a couple of times. There 313 00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:39,680 Speaker 4: were judges that we decided, no, that's not going to fly. 314 00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:43,359 Speaker 4: But the Democrats have never done that. And that is 315 00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:47,800 Speaker 4: a victory, a big, big victory, and I think it 316 00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:52,399 Speaker 4: shows just how extreme and out of the mainstream this 317 00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:56,160 Speaker 4: White House and Democrats and the Senate are that every 318 00:18:56,200 --> 00:19:00,120 Speaker 4: Democrat but one was prepared to move forward. By the way, 319 00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:03,080 Speaker 4: none of the Democrats argued with what I said, none 320 00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:06,520 Speaker 4: of them. None of them engaged and had an argument 321 00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:09,639 Speaker 4: on the other side, other than Durbin said, well, she 322 00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:13,000 Speaker 4: was a magistrate judge, so technically she didn't order the 323 00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:15,919 Speaker 4: guy to a women's prison. She just recommended that he 324 00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:18,720 Speaker 4: go to a women's prison, against the strenuous opposition of 325 00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:21,919 Speaker 4: Bureau of Prisons. By the way, who said that that 326 00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:25,680 Speaker 4: there was a big risk of sexual assault. But other 327 00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:28,520 Speaker 4: than that, the other Democrats all just sat there silently. 328 00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:31,359 Speaker 4: But you know what they're counting on. I want everyone 329 00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:34,640 Speaker 4: listening to this podcast to ask yourself, did you hear 330 00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:37,360 Speaker 4: about this judge on the six o'clock news nowhere? 331 00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:38,199 Speaker 3: Could you? 332 00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:39,520 Speaker 1: This is a dead story? 333 00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:42,160 Speaker 4: Did you read about it the New York Times? This 334 00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:47,080 Speaker 4: is a New York judge. Chuck Schumer picked this judge. 335 00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:49,199 Speaker 4: This is a judge who was nominated to be a 336 00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:52,040 Speaker 4: New York federal judge. She was just defeated the Senate 337 00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:53,920 Speaker 4: Judiciary Committee. Is it on the front page of the 338 00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:55,080 Speaker 4: New York Times today? 339 00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:55,959 Speaker 3: You know? 340 00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:58,760 Speaker 4: You and I are recording it on Thursday. But I'm 341 00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:01,760 Speaker 4: going to win a gazillion dollars. I don't have a 342 00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:03,760 Speaker 4: gazillion dollars, but it doesn't matter because I'm not going 343 00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:05,600 Speaker 4: to lose the wager. It's not going to be on 344 00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:08,399 Speaker 4: the front page of the New York Times. The media 345 00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:13,080 Speaker 4: doesn't want you to know about it because and by 346 00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:17,200 Speaker 4: the way, I was waiting for one of the Democrats 347 00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:20,120 Speaker 4: to self righteously say trans women are women? 348 00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:20,560 Speaker 3: What do you mean? 349 00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:21,680 Speaker 5: Why are you calling him a man? 350 00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:26,080 Speaker 4: And recall when this judge was being at her hearing 351 00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:28,720 Speaker 4: and I cross examined her. She said during the hearing, 352 00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:35,280 Speaker 4: well she was entirely female. And I said, judge, really, really, 353 00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:42,840 Speaker 4: does this person have male genitalia? Well, yes, well then 354 00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:49,919 Speaker 4: he's not entirely female. Yeah, and the irony. Literally the 355 00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:56,680 Speaker 4: day before the markup, the story breaks that this guy 356 00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:00,520 Speaker 4: pulled his genitalia out and was waving in front of 357 00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:04,480 Speaker 4: the other women and harassing them and was put in 358 00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:06,720 Speaker 4: administrative segregation for doing so. 359 00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:08,080 Speaker 5: There's no surprise. 360 00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:09,520 Speaker 3: By the way. Let me ask you something. 361 00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:13,480 Speaker 4: If you're a dude and you get convicted of a 362 00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:16,959 Speaker 4: violent crime and you have a choice, do you go 363 00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:21,080 Speaker 4: to a men's prison or a women's prison? What moron 364 00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:22,679 Speaker 4: would choose to go to a men's prison? 365 00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:28,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, just on the issue of safety to yourself, right, say, hey, 366 00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:31,040 Speaker 2: I identify as a woman because you know, the chance 367 00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:33,480 Speaker 2: of you being assaulted goes significantly down. 368 00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:39,359 Speaker 4: Sure, And look the letters I read. Those letters were powerful. 369 00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:41,280 Speaker 4: And you know what, none of the Democrats in the 370 00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:44,080 Speaker 4: committee even read the damn letters. None of them cared. 371 00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:45,919 Speaker 4: I entered him into the record, I asked later, I 372 00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:48,600 Speaker 4: didn't play this, but I asked, did any of you 373 00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:49,240 Speaker 4: read the letter? 374 00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:52,080 Speaker 3: Nobody responded, They literally don't care. 375 00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:56,639 Speaker 4: They voted a confirmer anyway, And it's an example of 376 00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:59,280 Speaker 4: how the left is utterly out of touch. They do 377 00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:02,639 Speaker 4: not care about the people they're hurting, whether it's the 378 00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:05,760 Speaker 4: people who are dying from illegal immigrants that their open 379 00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:08,160 Speaker 4: borders are letting into this country, or whether it's about 380 00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:11,560 Speaker 4: the women who are being raped because the policies they 381 00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:15,199 Speaker 4: support are putting male sexual predators in female prisons. And 382 00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:17,680 Speaker 4: this is happening over and over and over again, and 383 00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:21,040 Speaker 4: not a one of them they don't mention it. They'll 384 00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:24,080 Speaker 4: just repeat their ideology trans women are women except for 385 00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:26,880 Speaker 4: the fact that they have genitalia that can rape a woman, 386 00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:29,040 Speaker 4: and they keep doing so in prison, over and over again, 387 00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:33,480 Speaker 4: setting that minor, inconvenient detail aside. Other than that, my 388 00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:35,000 Speaker 4: ideology says, go ahead. 389 00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:38,440 Speaker 2: I want to tell you about my friends at Blackout Coffee. 390 00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:40,439 Speaker 2: If you're like me and you start your morning early, 391 00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:44,200 Speaker 2: then you probably don't want just an average cup of coffee. 392 00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:46,760 Speaker 2: And if you're like me and you're sick and tired 393 00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:49,040 Speaker 2: of giving your money to companies that hate your values, 394 00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:52,119 Speaker 2: then you probably know there's a whole lot of woke 395 00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:54,480 Speaker 2: coffee companies out there. 396 00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:55,679 Speaker 1: There's some big ones. 397 00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:59,119 Speaker 2: Well, that is why I switched to Blackout Coffee, because 398 00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:01,639 Speaker 2: not only am I getting now a premium cup of 399 00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:04,800 Speaker 2: coffee every single morning, but I'm actually supporting a business 400 00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:08,919 Speaker 2: that has said we are not woke, We're hardcore conservatives, 401 00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:13,560 Speaker 2: and we are proud to stand for American values.

I want to move to 422 00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:22,000 Speaker 2: the other big news that we mentioned earlier, and both 423 00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:26,320 Speaker 2: of these stories are massive. Number one, we're hearing that 424 00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:33,400 Speaker 2: Joe Biden's campaign commissioned a Trump versus Harris poll. There's 425 00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:36,800 Speaker 2: two thoughts you could go with here. One it's an 426 00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:39,000 Speaker 2: accent that it leaked, or two they did on purpose 427 00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:42,800 Speaker 2: to leak it, and they're undermining their main candidate, Joe Biden, 428 00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:45,400 Speaker 2: trying to force him out. Let me start by getting 429 00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:46,280 Speaker 2: your reaction to that. 430 00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:51,080 Speaker 4: Well, Look, I think we are seeing Joe Biden in 431 00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:54,400 Speaker 4: free fall. We're seeing Democrats turn on him every day. 432 00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:58,160 Speaker 4: We're seeing additional Democrat House members turn on him. We 433 00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:01,359 Speaker 4: saw this week Democrats Center Peter Welch come out and 434 00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:04,800 Speaker 4: say Biden shouldn't run. What we know that Democrat Senator 435 00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:07,000 Speaker 4: Mark Warner was trying to get other Democrats to do 436 00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:09,720 Speaker 4: the same. We've seen NBC turn on them, We've seen 437 00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:11,840 Speaker 4: CNN turn on them, We've seen the New York Times 438 00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:14,000 Speaker 4: turn on and we've seen George Clooney turn on him. 439 00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:17,879 Speaker 4: And it's every day you look at the campaign. So 440 00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:23,199 Speaker 4: so NBC News reported quote, no one involved in the 441 00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:26,880 Speaker 4: effort thinks he has a pass. That is a quote 442 00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:30,919 Speaker 4: from Biden campaign insiders who say the writing is on 443 00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:35,360 Speaker 4: the wall. And here's another quote quote. The Biden campaign 444 00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:38,919 Speaker 4: has started to quietly assess the viability of Harris's candidacy 445 00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:42,439 Speaker 4: against Trump in a new head to head poll. A 446 00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:45,600 Speaker 4: source familiar with the decision told NBC News Now that 447 00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:50,120 Speaker 4: means the campaign is leaking this story. Hey, we better 448 00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:52,960 Speaker 4: check out Kamala uh oh, our guy's in trouble. Let's 449 00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:57,040 Speaker 4: let's go do the polling. His own campaign team is 450 00:25:57,119 --> 00:25:59,680 Speaker 4: leaking again with him. Let's go back to that quote 451 00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:03,880 Speaker 4: from it campaign team. No one involved in the effort 452 00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:07,280 Speaker 4: thinks he has a path that ain't good. 453 00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:10,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's not good. 454 00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:14,040 Speaker 2: And if they're doing this to undermine his candidacy, I 455 00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:16,720 Speaker 2: think it's also goes back to the point that we've 456 00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:20,000 Speaker 2: kind of started to witness, which is whether you're a 457 00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:23,880 Speaker 2: cabinet member or you're on the campaign, you're fighting now 458 00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:26,800 Speaker 2: for your own survival and the power and the access 459 00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:28,399 Speaker 2: to power. You don't want to lose. So if you 460 00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:31,400 Speaker 2: think you're going to lose with Joe Biden, then why 461 00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:34,000 Speaker 2: not throw a poll out there for COMMA and see 462 00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:36,399 Speaker 2: if that gives you a better result, which means you 463 00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:38,360 Speaker 2: get to keep your job in an administration. 464 00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:43,159 Speaker 4: Yeah, look, this is all about power, and you know 465 00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:45,960 Speaker 4: we mentioned also there was the bombshell story this week 466 00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:48,479 Speaker 4: that again is not getting a ton of coverage, but 467 00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:53,920 Speaker 4: there has not been a single cabinet meeting in eight months. 468 00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:57,120 Speaker 4: That that is bizarre that there hasn't been a cabinet meeting. 469 00:26:57,200 --> 00:27:00,560 Speaker 4: The cabinet doesn't meet and in the last last full 470 00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:05,720 Speaker 4: cabinet meeting took place on October second, twenty twenty three. 471 00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:12,760 Speaker 4: And not only that, there's a story from CNN quote 472 00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:15,480 Speaker 4: back in Washington. There have been clear signs throughout his 473 00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:19,199 Speaker 4: term of Biden being increasingly stage managed, with lists of 474 00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:22,000 Speaker 4: talking points, names of questioners, and drawings of where he 475 00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:25,560 Speaker 4: should walk presented to him by aids ahead of closed 476 00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:29,600 Speaker 4: door cabinet meetings that Biden attends. It is customary for 477 00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:33,600 Speaker 4: cabinet officials to submit questions and key talking points that 478 00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:36,800 Speaker 4: they plan to present in front of Biden ahead of 479 00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:41,120 Speaker 4: time to White House aids. Two sources with direct knowledge 480 00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:45,520 Speaker 4: told CNN, quote the entire display is kind of an act. 481 00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:50,160 Speaker 4: One of those sources told CNN they would come and say, hey, 482 00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:52,359 Speaker 4: the President is going to call on you in about 483 00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:55,280 Speaker 4: twenty five minutes and ask this question, what are the 484 00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:59,600 Speaker 4: bullet points you'll respond with. The second source, who echoed 485 00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:03,640 Speaker 4: the same description, said that when Biden attends cabinet meetings, 486 00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:07,520 Speaker 4: they are quote not free wheeling and pretty well orchestrated, 487 00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:11,560 Speaker 4: and the meetings themselves are infrequent, with one cabinet secretary 488 00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:17,440 Speaker 4: telling CNN they are uncertain of Biden's condition because they 489 00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:19,440 Speaker 4: so rarely see him. 490 00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:24,919 Speaker 2: Wow, there now is a real question about the twenty 491 00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:29,879 Speaker 2: fifth Amendment being a possibility. Remember this was something that 492 00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:34,720 Speaker 2: Democrats were obsessed with with Donald Trump. I want to 493 00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:40,240 Speaker 2: just remind people back in two thousand in seventeen, this 494 00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:42,760 Speaker 2: is what Democrats were saying on TV. 495 00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:46,480 Speaker 6: This is scary hashtag twenty fifth Amendment. 496 00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:50,040 Speaker 7: President is not equipped to do with the job. 497 00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:54,320 Speaker 2: So now they're saying he's mentally incapacitated, and more than 498 00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:57,440 Speaker 2: two dozen Democratic lawmakers are backing a bill that says 499 00:28:57,440 --> 00:28:58,720 Speaker 2: he should leave office. 500 00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:01,520 Speaker 5: Should he be removed, his brain. 501 00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:05,720 Speaker 7: Is simply incapable of processing the information, emotionally psychologically unstable, 502 00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:08,320 Speaker 7: initiate proceedings to remove the president. 503 00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:11,160 Speaker 6: You and several of your Democratic House colleagues met with 504 00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:15,520 Speaker 6: a psychiatry professor from Yale, doctor Bandy Lee. She holds 505 00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:18,560 Speaker 6: an end today quote as the president is unraveling. He 506 00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:21,120 Speaker 6: seems to be losing his grip on reality and reverting 507 00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:22,320 Speaker 6: to conspiracy theories. 508 00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:25,400 Speaker 8: Doctor Lee and other psychiatrists who've been up to meet 509 00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:29,880 Speaker 8: with members of Congress have been predicting increasingly delusional and 510 00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:34,080 Speaker 8: heronoid behavior on the part of the president. The president 511 00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:37,240 Speaker 8: is dangerous and unable to successfully meet the powers and 512 00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:38,160 Speaker 8: duties of office. 513 00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:42,600 Speaker 2: That was twenty seventeen, not about Joe Biden, but about 514 00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:43,440 Speaker 2: what's amazing. 515 00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:47,720 Speaker 4: You could imagine every one of those quotes about Joe Biden. Yeah, 516 00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:50,160 Speaker 4: and those quotes I think didn't happen to mention other 517 00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:53,200 Speaker 4: than maybe the first one Trump's name. And so if 518 00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:56,160 Speaker 4: someone just heard that snippet, they might say, wow, the 519 00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:58,560 Speaker 4: d's are ready to invoke the twenty fifth Amendment. I 520 00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:03,680 Speaker 4: got to say, look, the fact that the CNN story 521 00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:06,600 Speaker 4: is quoted is leaking from the cabinet. 522 00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:11,240 Speaker 2: Well, and this goes to reporting today from CNN. Here 523 00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:15,120 Speaker 2: is the bombshell sea and report that cabinet secretaries not 524 00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:18,560 Speaker 2: only so many questions, but my question now is is 525 00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:21,320 Speaker 2: this being done on purpose so that they may actually 526 00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:24,120 Speaker 2: start talking about the twenty fifth Amendment. Listen to how 527 00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:26,200 Speaker 2: CNN blew this up today at. 528 00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:28,560 Speaker 9: The White House perspective now with CNN's MJ. 529 00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:28,880 Speaker 5: Lee. 530 00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:32,080 Speaker 9: Who's there for is MJ you and your colleagues have 531 00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:35,040 Speaker 9: some reporting on the mood behind the scenes. 532 00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:36,480 Speaker 1: What are you hearing from your sources? 533 00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:40,360 Speaker 7: Well, boris there's certainly been a lot of confusion and 534 00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:44,280 Speaker 7: anger and sadness inside the White House, across the administration, 535 00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:48,560 Speaker 7: the campaign, and across the Democratic Party more broadly since 536 00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:53,000 Speaker 7: the President's really halting and shocking debate performance. My colleagues 537 00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:55,280 Speaker 7: and I have spoken over the course of the last 538 00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:59,720 Speaker 7: two weeks to dozens of Democratic sources, including I should 539 00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:02,760 Speaker 7: note senior Democrats who have spent real time with the 540 00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:05,840 Speaker 7: president and in some cases have known the president for 541 00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:09,200 Speaker 7: years and What has been striking is that none of 542 00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:12,800 Speaker 7: them had ever seen this version of President Biden that 543 00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:15,440 Speaker 7: we all saw on the debate stage that was so 544 00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:20,240 Speaker 7: faltering and days and plenty of officials that we spoke 545 00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:23,520 Speaker 7: with said, look, of course, we've known that the president 546 00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:26,440 Speaker 7: has aged. He is certainly not the same person that 547 00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:31,120 Speaker 7: we know from say, a year ago. But what they 548 00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:34,520 Speaker 7: had said, and that was so noteworthy, is that they 549 00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:38,160 Speaker 7: said they couldn't have possibly known about the full extent 550 00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:41,680 Speaker 7: of the president's decline. And what many of them blame 551 00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:45,240 Speaker 7: at this point is this apparatus and daily operation that 552 00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:49,480 Speaker 7: is built around the president that is so painfully choreographed 553 00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:52,640 Speaker 7: and stage managed. They said, that is designed to prevent 554 00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:58,840 Speaker 7: the president from being often out in these unscripted settings 555 00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:01,320 Speaker 7: for an extended period of time, and that really what 556 00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:04,760 Speaker 7: that meant was that only a small circle of inner 557 00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:09,240 Speaker 7: circle of advisors and perhaps family members could have known 558 00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:12,800 Speaker 7: about sort of this full picture of the president's condition. 559 00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:16,400 Speaker 7: Just one example that is in our story is that, 560 00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:21,800 Speaker 7: according to two sources, before cabinet meetings that the president attends, 561 00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:27,040 Speaker 7: cabinet officials will submit their questions and talking points, key 562 00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:29,960 Speaker 7: talking points and bulletpoints that they plan to present to 563 00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:33,240 Speaker 7: the president in these closed door meetings. This is how 564 00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:36,040 Speaker 7: one source described it. They said, the entire display is 565 00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:38,480 Speaker 7: kind of an act. They would come and say, Hey, 566 00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:40,960 Speaker 7: the President is going to call on you about twenty 567 00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:43,480 Speaker 7: five minutes in and ask this question, what are the 568 00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:46,680 Speaker 7: bullet points that you'll respond with. Now, the White House's 569 00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:50,320 Speaker 7: defense has been that that is standard practice for any administration. 570 00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:52,880 Speaker 7: They said, in a setting like this, you never want 571 00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:57,280 Speaker 7: the president to be not aware of what is going 572 00:32:57,320 --> 00:32:58,120 Speaker 7: to be discussed. 573 00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:02,280 Speaker 2: They you look at this senator, I sit there and 574 00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:05,280 Speaker 2: I'm like, Okay, You've got people that serve at the 575 00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:08,880 Speaker 2: pleasure of the president who are now looking out for 576 00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:10,280 Speaker 2: their own best interests. 577 00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:12,080 Speaker 1: They don't want to lose their power. 578 00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:15,240 Speaker 2: You got people on his campaign that apparently have the 579 00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:19,280 Speaker 2: same mentality as these cabinet members. And all the leaks 580 00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:23,680 Speaker 2: about Joe Biden are coming from within. Now you can't 581 00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:30,400 Speaker 2: control them. White House leaks destroy presidencies. And now it's like, 582 00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:33,280 Speaker 2: if you're leaking this and you're a senior cabinet member, 583 00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:36,520 Speaker 2: are you doing it to prep the country for possibly 584 00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:37,600 Speaker 2: the twenty fifth. 585 00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:41,400 Speaker 4: Look, I think that prospect is rising. I got to say, also, 586 00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:44,800 Speaker 4: the White House Defense. Well, this is standard operating procedure. 587 00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:45,840 Speaker 3: Listen. 588 00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:51,280 Speaker 4: I have been in literally hundreds of meetings with presidents, 589 00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:56,840 Speaker 4: whether Donald Trump or Barack Obama, and I've never been 590 00:33:56,880 --> 00:33:59,760 Speaker 4: in one meeting where we had talking points and it 591 00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:03,000 Speaker 4: was it was choreographed. That doesn't happen. I talked to 592 00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:04,800 Speaker 4: Donald Trump a couple of days on the go in 593 00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:06,640 Speaker 4: the phone call. He didn't know what I was going 594 00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:08,000 Speaker 4: to say. I didn't know what he was gonna say, 595 00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:11,879 Speaker 4: because you're talking to an actual human being. Every day 596 00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:14,719 Speaker 4: when senators meet, we don't read scripts. Would you'd like 597 00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:17,160 Speaker 4: to do this job? You actually have to be able 598 00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:19,440 Speaker 4: to talk about colleagues and say okay, what's going on, 599 00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:22,200 Speaker 4: and ask questions and discuss things. Now, look, you'll read 600 00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:25,120 Speaker 4: a speech that's commonplace, but at a meeting, a cabinet 601 00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:27,960 Speaker 4: meeting where they're supposed to be your top advisors. I 602 00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:31,920 Speaker 4: meet with my senior staff every week. My senior staff 603 00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:34,480 Speaker 4: don't come in. I don't ask them give me the 604 00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:36,680 Speaker 4: talking points of what you're gonna say before you say it. 605 00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:42,080 Speaker 4: Because professionals are able to have a conversation, listen and 606 00:34:42,200 --> 00:34:46,560 Speaker 4: process information, and by the way, then ask follow up questions, 607 00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:48,200 Speaker 4: what about this? Well, should we do this? What do 608 00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:51,440 Speaker 4: you think about this? Okay, let's go down this direction. 609 00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:55,960 Speaker 4: That's actually the way presidents operate. I've been in bunches 610 00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:58,840 Speaker 4: of free flowing presidential meetings with Trump. Or we'd be 611 00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:00,160 Speaker 4: all over the place and you had a peace we'll 612 00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:02,040 Speaker 4: argue on one side and arguing the other, and trumple 613 00:35:02,080 --> 00:35:04,960 Speaker 4: say what about this? And I mean we would you know. 614 00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:07,040 Speaker 4: I've been up in the White House residence with him 615 00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:09,560 Speaker 4: and a couple other senators, with people screaming at each 616 00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:14,400 Speaker 4: other till ten ten thirty at night. That is dramatically 617 00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:18,000 Speaker 4: different from the kabuki theater that Joe Biden was putting on. 618 00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:18,279 Speaker 5: Now. 619 00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:21,879 Speaker 4: To be clear, his entire cabinet was complicit, His entire 620 00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:25,640 Speaker 4: White House staff was complicit. The Democrats in Congress were complicit. 621 00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:28,000 Speaker 4: They all knew this. They're all saying, gosh, we're shocked, 622 00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:31,200 Speaker 4: just absolutely shocked. I've told you Biden won't meet with 623 00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:33,680 Speaker 4: Republican senators. That's been true for three and a half years. 624 00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:35,560 Speaker 4: I haven't had any meeting with President. 625 00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:37,759 Speaker 2: Remembers now, right, Yeah, it's not just you guys, it's 626 00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:39,680 Speaker 2: now the cabinet. He won't even meet with yet. 627 00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:43,080 Speaker 4: Look, when Republican senators meet to have lunch, we talk 628 00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:46,120 Speaker 4: about how weird it is that we haven't talked to 629 00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:46,720 Speaker 4: Joe Biden. 630 00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:47,600 Speaker 5: We all know Joe. 631 00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:49,720 Speaker 4: He was a man of the Senate for forty years, 632 00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:54,319 Speaker 4: but they won't let him meet with us. Because this 633 00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:56,799 Speaker 4: has been obvious for three and a half years. And 634 00:35:57,280 --> 00:36:01,200 Speaker 4: the media, the Democrats, they were all complete until the 635 00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:05,120 Speaker 4: debate thrust it unavoidably in front of the public, and 636 00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:06,400 Speaker 4: now they're all running scared. 637 00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:10,879 Speaker 2: Does this change the calculus in your mind for Democrats 638 00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:13,680 Speaker 2: moving forward? I mean I thought by the end of 639 00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:16,919 Speaker 2: this week they would get back in line behind him. 640 00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:21,960 Speaker 2: We don't seem to have that happening at all. And 641 00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:25,960 Speaker 2: it now seems that from within are the people that 642 00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:28,000 Speaker 2: are hurting him the most. 643 00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:29,040 Speaker 1: I'll give you an example. 644 00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:32,319 Speaker 2: Jake Tamper went on his show on CNN today and 645 00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:33,520 Speaker 2: this is what he said. 646 00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:36,480 Speaker 6: Let's bring in our panel. And on that note, I 647 00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:39,279 Speaker 6: want to share something with you all that a longtime 648 00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:45,080 Speaker 6: Biden advisor just texted me. Okay, he or she said, quote, 649 00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:49,000 Speaker 6: I just think there's an unfortunate inevitability to all this. 650 00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:51,720 Speaker 6: I am sad because I've known him a long time, 651 00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:54,560 Speaker 6: and he's a good man. I'm angry at his inner 652 00:36:54,640 --> 00:36:57,120 Speaker 6: circle who have not served him well and at times 653 00:36:57,120 --> 00:37:00,640 Speaker 6: committed malpractice in their service. And I am frustrated at 654 00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:03,480 Speaker 6: the family, the Biden family, for not expanding the circle 655 00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:06,399 Speaker 6: so there would be at least a truthteller or two 656 00:37:07,080 --> 00:37:10,160 Speaker 6: in their midst They created a perfect storm of an 657 00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:15,400 Speaker 6: echo chamber, and it is biting them all in the ass. Again, 658 00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:18,719 Speaker 6: as with MJ. Apologies for the salty language, but this 659 00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:22,240 Speaker 6: is the extent of the frustration, Gloria, your reaction. 660 00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:26,520 Speaker 2: I get this is Jake Tapper. He's not burning somebody. 661 00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:30,360 Speaker 2: This advisor, this long time advisor, I think made it 662 00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:32,200 Speaker 2: very clear that. 663 00:37:33,239 --> 00:37:37,960 Speaker 4: For well, listen, listen like Ron go on TV yet listen. 664 00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:42,120 Speaker 4: Ron Klain sent that text expecting that Jake Tapper would 665 00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:43,640 Speaker 4: would read it on air. 666 00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:45,520 Speaker 3: And by the way, I don't know it was Ron Klain. 667 00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:46,680 Speaker 3: I'm just just picking up. 668 00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:49,399 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, whoever did, I said, go on air 669 00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:51,160 Speaker 2: and read this. I'm letting you do it. 670 00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:54,280 Speaker 4: Look, you don't send it to Jake Tapper without expecting 671 00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:56,399 Speaker 4: that he's going to repeat it. That's why you're sending it. 672 00:37:56,600 --> 00:38:01,239 Speaker 4: And look, the press is turning on him. Remember like 673 00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:05,600 Speaker 4: twelve minutes ago, where the corporate media would say it's 674 00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:09,120 Speaker 4: a tinfoil hat conspiracy theory when you say that Obama's 675 00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:11,200 Speaker 4: running things. We've said a number of times in this 676 00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:13,800 Speaker 4: podcast that it's Obama's pulling the strings. 677 00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:15,880 Speaker 3: I want you to listen to. 678 00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:21,879 Speaker 4: Morning Joe talking about who's really behind everything right now, 679 00:38:21,960 --> 00:38:22,319 Speaker 4: give a. 680 00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:24,440 Speaker 2: Listen Before I play that, I want to tell you 681 00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:27,480 Speaker 2: about our friends of the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. 682 00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:29,799 Speaker 2: Since the start of the Sword of Iron War in 683 00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:33,160 Speaker 2: Israel in October seventh, we have seen death and destruction 684 00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:35,800 Speaker 2: in the Holy Land, and for more than forty years, 685 00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:38,520 Speaker 2: the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews has been on 686 00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:41,840 Speaker 2: the ground in Israel and within hours of the war starting, 687 00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:44,800 Speaker 2: and everyday since, they've been feeding the hungry and protecting 688 00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:48,040 Speaker 2: the vulnerable.

You know he probably said it too. 739 00:41:36,320 --> 00:41:39,879 Speaker 9: Willie but Joe Biden actually whispered that that was a 740 00:41:39,920 --> 00:41:42,720 Speaker 9: big deal, effing dial. 741 00:41:44,680 --> 00:41:49,640 Speaker 2: This is the conversation they're having on MSNBC as George 742 00:41:49,680 --> 00:41:51,799 Speaker 2: Quinney comes out, I love Joe Biden, but we need 743 00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:52,640 Speaker 2: a new nominee. 744 00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:54,120 Speaker 8: Yeah. 745 00:41:54,320 --> 00:41:58,280 Speaker 4: And to be clear, Politico also reported quote before Hollywood 746 00:41:58,400 --> 00:42:01,680 Speaker 4: icon and Democratic donor George He published his buzzy and 747 00:42:01,719 --> 00:42:04,760 Speaker 4: brutal New York Times op ed yesterday calling on Biden 748 00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:07,800 Speaker 4: to step aside as the nominee. We're told he reached 749 00:42:07,840 --> 00:42:10,200 Speaker 4: out to former President Barack Obama to give him the 750 00:42:10,200 --> 00:42:13,000 Speaker 4: heads up. The two men, who are friendly, both attended 751 00:42:13,040 --> 00:42:15,920 Speaker 4: the LA fundraiser Clooney referenced in his piece where the 752 00:42:15,960 --> 00:42:19,040 Speaker 4: actor said he'd beheld a diminished Biden and that the 753 00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:22,319 Speaker 4: leader he interacted with was quote the same man we 754 00:42:22,360 --> 00:42:26,120 Speaker 4: all witnessed at the debate. While Obama did not encourage 755 00:42:26,200 --> 00:42:29,640 Speaker 4: or advise Clooney to said what he said, he also 756 00:42:29,960 --> 00:42:33,719 Speaker 4: didn't object to it were told from people familiar with 757 00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:37,680 Speaker 4: their exchange. The lack of pushback is an eye popping revelation, 758 00:42:38,200 --> 00:42:40,359 Speaker 4: given that the former president was one of the first 759 00:42:40,400 --> 00:42:44,879 Speaker 4: big voices defending Biden following his abysmal debate performance, while 760 00:42:44,880 --> 00:42:46,640 Speaker 4: many of his former aides have been some of the 761 00:42:46,640 --> 00:42:50,359 Speaker 4: incumbent's biggest critics. Again, if you and I said that 762 00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:54,080 Speaker 4: twelve minutes ago, they would have fitted us for the 763 00:42:54,120 --> 00:42:57,239 Speaker 4: tinfoil hats and said we were loons. And now every 764 00:42:57,239 --> 00:43:00,200 Speaker 4: one of them is saying, this is Barack Obama pulling string. 765 00:43:00,680 --> 00:43:01,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll get ready. 766 00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:05,399 Speaker 2: It's civil war and it is not calming down within 767 00:43:05,440 --> 00:43:07,800 Speaker 2: the Democratic Party.
