1 00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:05,680 Speaker 1: Raoul helped build this organization with the understanding that the 2 00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:11,600 Speaker 1: diversity of this community, as distinct as the bogadas of 3 00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:17,000 Speaker 1: the Bronx, as beautiful as the blossoms of Miami, and 4 00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:21,320 Speaker 1: as unique as the breakfast tacos here in San Antonio, 5 00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:34,600 Speaker 1: is your strength.

In fact, market experts like 11 00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:54,200 Speaker 1: Jamie Diamond, who is the CEO of JP Morgan, are 12 00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:57,200 Speaker 1: not only predicting that we will face an economic recession, 13 00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:02,440 Speaker 1: they're using phrases like economic hurricane and unprecedented.

Welcome back 36 00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:12,880 Speaker 1: to Verdict. I'm Michael Knowles, joined as ever by my 37 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:18,000 Speaker 1: favorite taco, Senator, Ted Cruz. Senator, how spicy are you 38 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:23,480 Speaker 1: feeling today? I feel like a good Charissa and egg 39 00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:28,799 Speaker 1: and cheese taco And Michael, I gotta say there are 40 00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:34,880 Speaker 1: times when life imitates satire. If Saturday Night Live was 41 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:39,760 Speaker 1: trying to mock an out of touch Democrat going in 42 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:43,680 Speaker 1: front of an Hispanic audience and saying, you guys are 43 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:48,720 Speaker 1: a bunch of tacos. Look like I'm sorry, Tina Fey 44 00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:54,679 Speaker 1: could have delivered that line. Your tacos and the Bogadas. 45 00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:59,600 Speaker 1: It isn't Bogata the Capitol Colombia like like like apparently 46 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:04,640 Speaker 1: Jill's never been to Aga. I mean, it's that is 47 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:11,280 Speaker 1: just weird, and it's it typifies the out of touch 48 00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:18,000 Speaker 1: Democrat condescension to Latin xes. By the way, that conference 49 00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:21,160 Speaker 1: was the Latin X explosion. And I gotta tell you 50 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:24,399 Speaker 1: right now, anyone who puts an X in the word 51 00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:29,040 Speaker 1: Latino or Latina ain't actually one of them. It is 52 00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:34,000 Speaker 1: only a woke white leftist are the only people that 53 00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:38,520 Speaker 1: stick xes in it. And that's apparently why the Bidens 54 00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:41,440 Speaker 1: think we're tacos. I can't wait for Joe Biden to 55 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:45,320 Speaker 1: pander to my community, the Italian American community, and say, 56 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 1: you know, you, you Italian Americans, you're greasier than a 57 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:53,080 Speaker 1: bowl of sponge. You are slipperier than a nice focaccia bread. 58 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:54,680 Speaker 1: I don't think it would do a lot to win 59 00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,680 Speaker 1: over the Italian vote. And I do know Democrats have 60 00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:01,440 Speaker 1: been struggling with the Hispanic vote recycled. The Republicans say, 61 00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:04,320 Speaker 1: we're about to make huge inroads with the black community 62 00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:06,240 Speaker 1: or the Hispanic community. But if you look at the 63 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:09,200 Speaker 1: numbers right now, it would appear that massive chunks of 64 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:13,080 Speaker 1: the Hispanic voting block are moving right word right now. 65 00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:15,120 Speaker 1: So do you think that the taco pandering is going 66 00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:19,120 Speaker 1: to win them back? So look, Michael, in all seriousness, you, 67 00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:22,640 Speaker 1: Michael Knowles, are a spicy meatball. Thank you, thank you. Hi. 68 00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:26,640 Speaker 1: Maybe a taco, but you are a meat ball with 69 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:30,760 Speaker 1: an extra zest. I've set it for years. And look, 70 00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:34,040 Speaker 1: since I'm I'm Irish at Italian too, maybe I got 71 00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:35,960 Speaker 1: a little meatball in my taco and I don't know, 72 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:37,640 Speaker 1: Irish with a pint of Guennis, I don't know. I 73 00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:40,880 Speaker 1: don't even know. It's it's that's not too bad. I've 74 00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:44,039 Speaker 1: never had Guinnis for breakfast, but breakfast taco and there 75 00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:49,359 Speaker 1: we go. We're set. It's actually amazing what is happening 76 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:53,839 Speaker 1: with Hispanic voters. By the way, there's an interesting there 77 00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:56,159 Speaker 1: was polling some time ago that I saw. I haven't 78 00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:59,520 Speaker 1: seen it recently, but five ten years ago the polling 79 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:06,320 Speaker 1: was is that people whose self reference as Hispanic tend 80 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:10,240 Speaker 1: to be more conservative, people whose self reference as Latino 81 00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:15,799 Speaker 1: tend to be further left, and people who self reference 82 00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:18,480 Speaker 1: as Chicano tend to be the furthest left. And it's 83 00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:21,760 Speaker 1: just kind of an interesting language piece. I don't know 84 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:24,240 Speaker 1: if that still holds, because that polling data is a 85 00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:26,240 Speaker 1: little bit out of date. I think the people who 86 00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:30,480 Speaker 1: self identify as Latins they actually tend to skew white. 87 00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:33,799 Speaker 1: I think they're entirely white and not yes and and 88 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:38,479 Speaker 1: and and woke and confused. It's the opposite of days 89 00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:43,479 Speaker 1: and confused. It it's very well, you know, it's an 90 00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:49,600 Speaker 1: amazing thing. The Democrats numbers among Hispanics are plummeting, and 91 00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:53,320 Speaker 1: we saw that with Mira Flores, who was elected in 92 00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:56,599 Speaker 1: Texas special election just a couple of weeks ago. The 93 00:05:56,720 --> 00:06:00,680 Speaker 1: district runs from just south of San Antonio all the 94 00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:03,599 Speaker 1: way down to Brownsville to the southern tip of Texas. 95 00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:07,240 Speaker 1: It literally right on the border with Mexico. That is 96 00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:12,240 Speaker 1: a district that hasn't had a Republican represented since eighteen 97 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:20,240 Speaker 1: seventy one. That's a long time. And I've been predicting 98 00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:22,239 Speaker 1: for a long time I think all of South Texas 99 00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:25,440 Speaker 1: is going to turn red. By the way, Miraflores's district 100 00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:29,520 Speaker 1: is the second most Hispanic congressional district in the entire 101 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:33,839 Speaker 1: United States of America. It's it's something like eighty four 102 00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:36,200 Speaker 1: percent Hispanic. I'm not remembering the exact number, but it's 103 00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:38,479 Speaker 1: in the neighborhood of eighty four percent. Is that a 104 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:41,280 Speaker 1: fluke or is that a bell weather for the mid terms? 105 00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:44,760 Speaker 1: I think it is very much a bell weather. There 106 00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:47,719 Speaker 1: are two other congressional seats in South Texas are that 107 00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:51,040 Speaker 1: are represented by Democrats right now, I think there is 108 00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:53,599 Speaker 1: a very good chance that at least two out of 109 00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:58,200 Speaker 1: those three will be represented by Republicans come January, and 110 00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:01,080 Speaker 1: it might be all three of the those three. And 111 00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:05,640 Speaker 1: interestingly enough, those Republicans, the candidates, all three are Hispanic women. 112 00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:08,599 Speaker 1: I've endorsed all of them. I'm campaigning for all of them. 113 00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:12,600 Speaker 1: And throughout the Rio Grand Valley at South Texas, it 114 00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:16,400 Speaker 1: has voted Democrat for over one hundred years. That's how 115 00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:20,200 Speaker 1: long it's been. And there's all sorts of things that 116 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:24,600 Speaker 1: are causing that. I mean, it's the you know, the 117 00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:29,040 Speaker 1: the out of touch wokeness of calling people Latin X. 118 00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:31,600 Speaker 1: And by the way, who sends the first lady to 119 00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:36,320 Speaker 1: a conference called the Latin X conference? And that taco thing. 120 00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:39,360 Speaker 1: Here's the amazing thing that what an ad lib. This 121 00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:41,800 Speaker 1: wasn't a Joe Biden like screw up because they just 122 00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:45,680 Speaker 1: let him like meander off and talk. She was reading 123 00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:49,679 Speaker 1: from a teleprompter. Yeah, a White House staffer wrote those 124 00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:53,520 Speaker 1: lines and thought, isn't this great if we call them 125 00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:55,960 Speaker 1: all tacos, they'll clearly vote for us if we do that. 126 00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:59,080 Speaker 1: That's a really important point because you've seen a ton 127 00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:02,200 Speaker 1: of gaffs this week from Joe Biden. Biden at one 128 00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:03,960 Speaker 1: point the White House tried to cover this up, but 129 00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:07,840 Speaker 1: he actually read on the teleprompter, repeat the line, repeat 130 00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:09,480 Speaker 1: the line now. But he didn't repeat the line. He 131 00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:11,440 Speaker 1: just read, repeat the line. You've seen all sorts of 132 00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:14,520 Speaker 1: gaffs suggesting that he kind of forgot that he was 133 00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:16,760 Speaker 1: the president at one point, and so we've come to 134 00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:19,360 Speaker 1: expect that from Biden. But what you're pointing out here is, no, 135 00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:22,000 Speaker 1: this is the alleged adults in the room, the people 136 00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,000 Speaker 1: who were supposed to be the geniuses who have their 137 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:25,960 Speaker 1: finger on the pulse of the base and the electorate. 138 00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:29,040 Speaker 1: They're the ones who put the taco line into the speech. 139 00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:34,520 Speaker 1: It looks the Democrats look down on the American people 140 00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:36,360 Speaker 1: as a whole, look down on voters as a whole, 141 00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:39,520 Speaker 1: but they especially looked down on minorities. I remember Joe 142 00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:41,440 Speaker 1: Biden is the one who went I think it was 143 00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:45,960 Speaker 1: at the NAACP when he was vice president and said 144 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:52,120 Speaker 1: about Republicans, They're gonna put you back in chains. The 145 00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:55,439 Speaker 1: Democrats look at Hispanics and they think we are a 146 00:08:55,440 --> 00:09:02,880 Speaker 1: bunch of ignorant I don't even know how to describe 147 00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:06,600 Speaker 1: what they think abouts, but they think we just we 148 00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:12,400 Speaker 1: have to vote Democrat and there's no sense of wanting 149 00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:14,600 Speaker 1: to earn the votes. I'll tell you, if you are 150 00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:18,599 Speaker 1: an Hispanic guy in South Texas and you work in 151 00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:22,440 Speaker 1: the oil field, and you drive a pickup truck and 152 00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,880 Speaker 1: you go bird hunting on the weekends, Joe Biden and 153 00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:30,640 Speaker 1: Kamala Harris and the Democrats want to destroy your livelihood, 154 00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:36,600 Speaker 1: want to endanger your family by open borders and chaos. 155 00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:40,200 Speaker 1: And you know what, You're voting Republican. And that is 156 00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:44,440 Speaker 1: happening at amazing numbers. And I can't wait to see 157 00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:51,280 Speaker 1: three Hispanic women, Republicans from the Rio Grand Valley standing 158 00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:55,479 Speaker 1: up to Nancy Pelosi and AOC and all these liberals 159 00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:59,079 Speaker 1: who insist, Hey, illegal immigration is just hunky dorry, It's 160 00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:02,240 Speaker 1: just fine the people who are living it. No, it's not. 161 00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:07,480 Speaker 1: And I think the fact that this White House wrote 162 00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:10,000 Speaker 1: this into a speech A set the first Lady to 163 00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:15,079 Speaker 1: this ridiculous conference, and b wrote these condescending lines into 164 00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:19,600 Speaker 1: the speech, I think it's indicative of just how badly 165 00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:22,880 Speaker 1: Biden and the Democrats are doing with Hispanics nationally. And 166 00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:24,440 Speaker 1: I think we're going to see a real sea change 167 00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:27,800 Speaker 1: in this election. Well, it seems to me the greater 168 00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:29,600 Speaker 1: fear for the White House right now is not just 169 00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:32,800 Speaker 1: that they're losing Hispanics. It seems that they're losing all 170 00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:35,800 Speaker 1: of the Democrats. There are these poll numbers coming out 171 00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:38,240 Speaker 1: that the majority of Democrats don't want Biden to be 172 00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:41,439 Speaker 1: the nominee in twenty twenty four. And even worse than 173 00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:44,480 Speaker 1: losing the Democrat voters, it seems to me that the 174 00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:49,040 Speaker 1: White House is losing the Democrat establishment, the Democrat media, 175 00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:53,000 Speaker 1: the Democrat press. You're seeing lots of negative stories coming 176 00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:55,120 Speaker 1: out about Biden in the new York Times, in the 177 00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:58,600 Speaker 1: Washington Post, in all of the corporate press, kind of 178 00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:03,600 Speaker 1: stoking the flame of this Democrat uprising against Biden. Is 179 00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:07,600 Speaker 1: this a sign that the machine, the party, and the 180 00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:10,040 Speaker 1: powers that be have had it with Biden and they 181 00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:13,760 Speaker 1: want a different option in twenty twenty four. Yes, And 182 00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:17,240 Speaker 1: it's also listen, I think the chances that Biden runs 183 00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:20,880 Speaker 1: in twenty four minuscule. He ain't running, He's not up 184 00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:24,400 Speaker 1: to the job. Down he says he's running. But to 185 00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:27,080 Speaker 1: be honest, any president says he's running, You say that 186 00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:29,240 Speaker 1: so you're not a lame duck. So I understand why 187 00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:31,600 Speaker 1: he says he's running. I don't believe for a second 188 00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:34,960 Speaker 1: that he's running. He's clearly not up to the task today. 189 00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:37,560 Speaker 1: I mean, this is a man who shakes hands with 190 00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:39,600 Speaker 1: the empty air. This is a man who they send 191 00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:42,920 Speaker 1: staffers dressed as the Easter Bunny to prevent him from 192 00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:48,440 Speaker 1: wandering and getting lost. It is I think there's no 193 00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:51,600 Speaker 1: chance he's running. But some of these stories. You gotta 194 00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:54,760 Speaker 1: understand our ambitious Democrats trying to take him out. And 195 00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:59,800 Speaker 1: we can already see the daggers between Kamala Harris and 196 00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,640 Speaker 1: Pete Buddha jedge, both of which are are It's not 197 00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:07,280 Speaker 1: even daggers, it's chainsaws, it's it's it's Patriot missiles they're 198 00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:11,200 Speaker 1: firing against. They probably scuds, but um. And by the way, 199 00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:14,960 Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom, now you know your former governor chiming in 200 00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:17,640 Speaker 1: and trying desperately to say, look at me, look at me. 201 00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:21,400 Speaker 1: This is and then you're gonna have Elizabeth Warren riding 202 00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:28,720 Speaker 1: in on a rainbow unicorn. It's uh, the twenty four 203 00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:32,160 Speaker 1: Democratic primary has started already, and it ain't pretty. They're 204 00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:35,480 Speaker 1: going to light each other up and and and Biden 205 00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:38,559 Speaker 1: is just a casualty of that. Newsom is buying airtime 206 00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:40,760 Speaker 1: in Florida. That's kind of a weird thing to do 207 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,360 Speaker 1: if you're focused on rebuilding your state. It's not a 208 00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:45,400 Speaker 1: weird thing to do if you want to position yourself 209 00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:48,480 Speaker 1: for twenty twenty four. You mentioned our friend Lahwatha, there 210 00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:52,640 Speaker 1: is Warren. Elizabeth Warren seems to be riding in on 211 00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:56,480 Speaker 1: this issue of abortion. She's focusing so intently. I mean, 212 00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:58,559 Speaker 1: you can almost see the fire in her eyes when 213 00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:01,160 Speaker 1: when she lights up first about the league, then about 214 00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:03,560 Speaker 1: the dabb's decision, now about the pro life laws all 215 00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:08,520 Speaker 1: around the country. You had a pretty bizarre exchange today 216 00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:13,640 Speaker 1: in the Senate there was a hearing on abortion. I 217 00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:17,559 Speaker 1: looked at polls. I saw that for only fifteen percent 218 00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:20,400 Speaker 1: of the electorate is abortion the top issue. Most people 219 00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:23,080 Speaker 1: don't vote on abortion, whether we're talking pro life or 220 00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:27,920 Speaker 1: pro abortion. The Democrats abortion position abortion on demand, without 221 00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:30,080 Speaker 1: apology until the moment of birth. That is not where 222 00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:33,280 Speaker 1: the American people are. No poles suggest that it is. 223 00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:35,640 Speaker 1: Is this going to be a winner for Liz Warren? 224 00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:38,439 Speaker 1: Do the Democrats really think that they should keep putting 225 00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:42,440 Speaker 1: their pro abortion talking points in before the midterms? So, look, 226 00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:44,440 Speaker 1: it might well be a winner for her in the 227 00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:48,640 Speaker 1: Democrat primary. Their primary has been a become a race 228 00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:52,000 Speaker 1: to the crazy left. It's not a winner I don't 229 00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:55,559 Speaker 1: believe in the general election. And you know you mentioned 230 00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:57,640 Speaker 1: we had a hearing today in the Judiciary Committee that 231 00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:00,360 Speaker 1: Dick Durbin, the chairman of the committee, held it was 232 00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:05,840 Speaker 1: designed to describe what an apocalyptic hell we're living in 233 00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:10,840 Speaker 1: post obs that without Row, America is an unrecognizable it's 234 00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:14,080 Speaker 1: mad Max at Thunderdome, It's it's it's it's truly horrific. 235 00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:17,520 Speaker 1: And I got to say, I think the hearing went really, 236 00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:20,040 Speaker 1: really badly for Democrats. I think by the end of 237 00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:24,120 Speaker 1: the hearing even the Democrats were starting to recognize this, 238 00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:26,080 Speaker 1: this is not going the way we wanted it to. 239 00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:29,480 Speaker 1: Senator I think you're being modest. Actually, I think what 240 00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:34,400 Speaker 1: happened is that you you personally rhetorically shived poor Dick Durbin. 241 00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:37,200 Speaker 1: And you didn't do it by lobbing any bombs. You. 242 00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:39,240 Speaker 1: All I saw was the one clip of you talking 243 00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:42,200 Speaker 1: about Dick Durbin. You just read his own words back 244 00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:46,119 Speaker 1: to him. Well, I pointed out that that the Democrat 245 00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:49,400 Speaker 1: Party used to have room for diversity, used to have 246 00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:53,560 Speaker 1: some voices of reasonableness on all sorts of issues. Look 247 00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:56,920 Speaker 1: on foreign policy, there were Scoop Jackson Democrats there. There 248 00:14:56,640 --> 00:15:02,760 Speaker 1: there there were more moderate Democrats planned parenthood versus Casey. 249 00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:05,200 Speaker 1: A lot of people don't know that. The Casey there 250 00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:08,720 Speaker 1: was Governor Bob Casey Senior. He was a Democrat. He 251 00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:13,720 Speaker 1: was strongly pro life. Today's Democrats have said, if you're 252 00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:16,000 Speaker 1: pro life, get out of the party. We don't want you. 253 00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:20,880 Speaker 1: And so at the hearing, I took a chance to 254 00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:25,240 Speaker 1: say to say, all right, we should reflect on just 255 00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:28,920 Speaker 1: how radicalized the Democrat Party's gotten on abortion. And I said, 256 00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:33,840 Speaker 1: for example, when Roe versus Wade was decided nineteen seventy three, 257 00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:36,520 Speaker 1: one person who was very critical was a person named 258 00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:40,640 Speaker 1: Joseph Robinette Biden Junior, who said in nineteen seventy four, quote, 259 00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:45,800 Speaker 1: I don't like the Supreme Court decision on abortion. I 260 00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:49,120 Speaker 1: think it went too far. I don't think that a 261 00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:51,800 Speaker 1: woman has the sole right to say what should happen 262 00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:54,120 Speaker 1: to her body. So that was Joe Biden and seventy four, 263 00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:57,480 Speaker 1: and I put her. I said, well, okay, maybe seventy 264 00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:01,680 Speaker 1: four is a long time ago. He he's woken up 265 00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:04,920 Speaker 1: since then. Well, let's look at Joe Biden in two 266 00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:07,400 Speaker 1: thousand and seven. Two thousand and seven, it's just fifteen 267 00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:10,600 Speaker 1: years ago. Joe Biden is on Meet the Press, Tim 268 00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:15,560 Speaker 1: Rossert says, quote you supported that ban on late term abortions, 269 00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:20,640 Speaker 1: and Biden said, quote, I did, and I do. That 270 00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:23,000 Speaker 1: was just fifteen years ago. That was the position of 271 00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:26,760 Speaker 1: Joe Biden. Just a few weeks ago, the Democrats voted 272 00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:30,040 Speaker 1: to strike down every ban in the country on late 273 00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:33,960 Speaker 1: term abortions, and every single Democrat but one voted for 274 00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:38,480 Speaker 1: it the view of Joe Biden fifteen years ago or 275 00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:41,680 Speaker 1: nineteen seventy four is no longer allowed in today's radicalized 276 00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:45,200 Speaker 1: Democrat Party. And then here's what you reference that I 277 00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:47,360 Speaker 1: pointed out to show just how far it was gotten. 278 00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:51,920 Speaker 1: It's not just Joe Biden. The Chairman of the Judiciary Committee, 279 00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:55,960 Speaker 1: Dick Durban. In June of nineteen eighty three, Durban wrote 280 00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:58,800 Speaker 1: a letter and here I quoted, it's the hearing. The 281 00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:02,720 Speaker 1: letter says, quote, I have clearly studied the issue of 282 00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:07,720 Speaker 1: abortion in depth, and I'm in favor of the Eagleton Amendment, 283 00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:12,160 Speaker 1: which states clearly that the right to abortion is not 284 00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:17,679 Speaker 1: guaranteed by the US Constitution. The effect of this amendment 285 00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:22,719 Speaker 1: will to return us to the legal environment which existed 286 00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:26,639 Speaker 1: before Row versus Wade in nineteen seventy three, and it 287 00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:30,439 Speaker 1: was signed Richard J. Durbin, Member of Congress. And it 288 00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:33,119 Speaker 1: wasn't just in nineteen eighty three. Fast forward in nineteen 289 00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:37,000 Speaker 1: eighty nine. So six years later, Chairman Durbin wrote again, 290 00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:41,439 Speaker 1: and here's a quote. I believe we should end abortion 291 00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:45,240 Speaker 1: on demand and at every opportunity. I have translated this 292 00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:51,480 Speaker 1: belief into votes in the Houses of representatives. I continue 293 00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:55,399 Speaker 1: to believe the Supreme Court's decision in Row versus Wade 294 00:17:56,160 --> 00:18:04,280 Speaker 1: should be reversed. Dick Urban now the chairman Democrat Chairman 295 00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:07,760 Speaker 1: of the Judiciary Committee, and he's one of the people 296 00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:12,639 Speaker 1: who happily voted to strike down every single restriction of 297 00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:16,640 Speaker 1: abortion on the country and to allow unlimited abortion on demand. 298 00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:21,359 Speaker 1: Because the Democrats are wildly out of step on this issue. 299 00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:26,720 Speaker 1: What's amazing is that you're reading their own words. You're 300 00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:29,439 Speaker 1: gutting their argument with their own words from the distant 301 00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:32,119 Speaker 1: past and the not so distant past. Wasn't even the 302 00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:36,000 Speaker 1: craziest exchange that I saw. Frankly, it might not have 303 00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:38,520 Speaker 1: even been in the top two craziest exchanges that I 304 00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:41,920 Speaker 1: saw during this hearing. Today, the Democrats put forward some 305 00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:46,240 Speaker 1: pro abortion radical and your colleague from Texas Senator Senator 306 00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:49,359 Speaker 1: Cornyn couldn't get an answer out of her, or it 307 00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:50,880 Speaker 1: took a while to get an answer out of her 308 00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:55,400 Speaker 1: on the value of babies. Yeah, it was really extreme. 309 00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:57,880 Speaker 1: I do want to say before we leave the Durban thing, 310 00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:02,280 Speaker 1: so I give my questioning with a poster board behind 311 00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:06,199 Speaker 1: me with the images of the letters from Durban with 312 00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:09,600 Speaker 1: his signature and look to be honest, I mean, I'm 313 00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:12,800 Speaker 1: filaying the guy who's sitting about eight feet from me. 314 00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:17,800 Speaker 1: I read all of these quotes. I end my remarks 315 00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:21,520 Speaker 1: with what the Supreme Court has done is returned this 316 00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:25,480 Speaker 1: deeply personal, deeply important, deeply contested, contentious issue to the 317 00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:29,320 Speaker 1: voters to let the American people decide. That's democracy and 318 00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:32,920 Speaker 1: all of us should be happy about that. Durban then 319 00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:36,280 Speaker 1: has a chance to response. Here's his response. I'm going 320 00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:41,400 Speaker 1: to quote it in full. Thank you, Senator Cruz. It's 321 00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:44,639 Speaker 1: a smart response. That literally is how he responds to 322 00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:48,560 Speaker 1: my reading his letter two letters while I'm sitting with 323 00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:50,320 Speaker 1: a picture of him behind me. Well, what's he going 324 00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:52,120 Speaker 1: to say? What's he going to say? He's sitting there, 325 00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:54,359 Speaker 1: you got him dead to riot, so he knows he 326 00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:58,040 Speaker 1: can't win. Sorry, Okay, moving on, all right. So then 327 00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:00,320 Speaker 1: we get to Corn and Corn and asked questions after me, 328 00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:05,240 Speaker 1: and there was this this law professor who is as 329 00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:10,560 Speaker 1: radical a Democrat witness as I've ever seen. She's African 330 00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:15,120 Speaker 1: American woman. She's a law professor who's specialty is abortion. 331 00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:17,439 Speaker 1: So like she is at a law school and all 332 00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:20,960 Speaker 1: she does is advocate for abortion. All day long and son. 333 00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:24,919 Speaker 1: Cornet starts by saying that her testimony says that that 334 00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:29,159 Speaker 1: African Americans have abortions at a rate three times or 335 00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:33,399 Speaker 1: four times greater than non white Americans. And he asks 336 00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:36,600 Speaker 1: her is that a good thing? Is that systemic racism? 337 00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:40,439 Speaker 1: And she won't answer whether it's a good thing for 338 00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:43,000 Speaker 1: there to be more black abortions or not. She refuses 339 00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:47,000 Speaker 1: to answer that. So then Cornon goes in and he said, 340 00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:51,400 Speaker 1: asks a very simple question, do you think that a 341 00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:58,639 Speaker 1: baby that is delivered alive has value? This witness is 342 00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:03,920 Speaker 1: silent for I went back countered it one second, two seconds, 343 00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:12,760 Speaker 1: three seconds, four seconds, and finally she says, yes, I 344 00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:14,560 Speaker 1: got to tell you in the room those four seconds 345 00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:17,320 Speaker 1: were a long time. The question was do you think 346 00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:22,440 Speaker 1: a baby that is delivered alive has value? So so 347 00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:25,280 Speaker 1: Corning goes on and says, do you think that a 348 00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:30,000 Speaker 1: baby that is not yet born has value? I believe 349 00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:33,000 Speaker 1: that a person with a capacity for pregnancy has value. 350 00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:36,760 Speaker 1: They have intelligence, they have agency. Corning comes back, no, 351 00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:41,920 Speaker 1: I'm talking about the baby, Professor Bridges, and I'm talking 352 00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:45,720 Speaker 1: about the person with a capacity phonomic Senator Corny, you're 353 00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:50,480 Speaker 1: not answering the question I'm asking Professor Bridges with the 354 00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:54,760 Speaker 1: smugness of a leftist who views all of us with 355 00:21:54,880 --> 00:22:00,879 Speaker 1: condescending sneering. I'm answering a more interesting and tries again, 356 00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:05,240 Speaker 1: do you think that a baby that is not yet born, 357 00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:10,679 Speaker 1: let's say the day before this mother delivers, do you 358 00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:16,679 Speaker 1: think that baby has value? Her answer, I think that 359 00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:19,000 Speaker 1: the person with a capacity for pregnancy has value, and 360 00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:21,480 Speaker 1: they should have the ability to control what happens to 361 00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:24,960 Speaker 1: their life. Now, I got to say, even among advocates 362 00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:32,360 Speaker 1: for abortion, it is stunning to have a witness who 363 00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:42,040 Speaker 1: is unwilling to acknowledge that an infant in a mother's 364 00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:46,240 Speaker 1: womb who is nine months pregnant has any value whatsoever. 365 00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:48,680 Speaker 1: That is not a sentence she's willing to say. Look, 366 00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:51,000 Speaker 1: there are people who are pro abortion who could say, yes, 367 00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:54,840 Speaker 1: of course the child has value, but I value the 368 00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:58,919 Speaker 1: mother's liberty interest more. I understand that position. That's not 369 00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:05,520 Speaker 1: what she said. She's unwilling to articulate to acknowledge one 370 00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:08,440 Speaker 1: iota value and the child. And it took her four 371 00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:12,440 Speaker 1: seconds to acknowledge that even a baby that's been born 372 00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:15,480 Speaker 1: has value. Well, she wouldn't even acknowledge the question I mean, 373 00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:19,439 Speaker 1: to me, that's even almost crazier that it would be 374 00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:22,600 Speaker 1: like asking, Hey, Michael, do you think that babies have value? 375 00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:24,640 Speaker 1: And I'll say I think the nineteen ninety eight New 376 00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:28,359 Speaker 1: York Yankees have value. You say, Okay, sure, that's fine, 377 00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:31,040 Speaker 1: but that's not what I'm asking you. And did you 378 00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:34,720 Speaker 1: notice a really weird tick? So this whole questioning with 379 00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:39,840 Speaker 1: Cornan occurred after I had asked my questions. Did you 380 00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:44,399 Speaker 1: notice a word that she didn't use in response to 381 00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:47,919 Speaker 1: any of those questions? The most controversial word around today. 382 00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:53,160 Speaker 1: It's the word that Justice Katangi Brown Jackson doesn't know 383 00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:57,000 Speaker 1: what a woman is. And she kept using this this 384 00:23:57,160 --> 00:24:02,960 Speaker 1: phrase a person with a capacity for pregnancy, which I 385 00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:06,080 Speaker 1: don't think I've ever heard that phrase until this afternoon. 386 00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:12,359 Speaker 1: And that led to one of the most astonishing exchanges. 387 00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:16,720 Speaker 1: So after Cornin, Josh Holly from Missouri had an opportunity 388 00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:20,240 Speaker 1: to question her, and he couldn't help but ask about 389 00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:23,760 Speaker 1: this bizarre phrase she kept using, a person with capacity 390 00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:28,080 Speaker 1: for pregnancy. You've referred to people with a capacity for pregnancy? 391 00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:34,480 Speaker 1: Would that be women? Many women, SIS women have the 392 00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:36,879 Speaker 1: capacity for pregnancy. Many SIS women do not have the 393 00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:40,040 Speaker 1: capacity for pregnancy. There are also trans men who are 394 00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:42,439 Speaker 1: capable of pregnancy, as well as non binary people who 395 00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:45,320 Speaker 1: are capable of pregnancy. So this isn't really a women's 396 00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:48,920 Speaker 1: rights issue. It's we can recognize that this impacts women 397 00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:51,800 Speaker 1: while also recognizing that it impacts other groups. Those things 398 00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:55,600 Speaker 1: are not mutually exclusive. Senator Holly Oh, So, your view 399 00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:58,359 Speaker 1: is is that the core of this right then, is 400 00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:02,440 Speaker 1: about what? So I want to recognize that your line 401 00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:07,160 Speaker 1: of questioning is transphobic, and it opens up trans people 402 00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:09,680 Speaker 1: to violence by not recognizing that, Wow, you're saying that 403 00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:12,119 Speaker 1: I'm opening up people to violence by asking whether or 404 00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:14,520 Speaker 1: not women are the folks who can have pregnancies? So 405 00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:16,919 Speaker 1: I'm one. I want to note that one out of 406 00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:21,960 Speaker 1: five transgender persons have attempted suicide. So I think it's 407 00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:24,480 Speaker 1: because of my line of questioning because we can't talk 408 00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:28,320 Speaker 1: about it because denying that trans people exist and pretending 409 00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:31,000 Speaker 1: not to know that they exist. I'm denying that trans 410 00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:33,680 Speaker 1: people exist by asking you, if you're talking about women, 411 00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:36,720 Speaker 1: are you having pregnancies? Do you believe that men can 412 00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:39,919 Speaker 1: get pregnant? No? I don't think so you're denying that 413 00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:42,159 Speaker 1: trans people like this, and that leads to violence. Is 414 00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:44,480 Speaker 1: this how you run your classroom? Or students allowed to 415 00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:47,040 Speaker 1: question you? Or are they also treated like this or 416 00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:50,119 Speaker 1: they're told that they're opening up people to violence. We 417 00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:52,120 Speaker 1: have a good time in my class. You should joint. 418 00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:55,120 Speaker 1: You might learn a lot. Wow, I would learn a lot. 419 00:25:55,200 --> 00:26:01,960 Speaker 1: I've learned a lot. Extraordinary. That is a truly extraordinary exchange. Senator, 420 00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:07,920 Speaker 1: how did your colleague, mister Holly keeps cool? It is amazing. Look, 421 00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:11,080 Speaker 1: I gotta say, I've served in the Senate ten years. 422 00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:14,680 Speaker 1: I've seen lots of witnesses in front of lots of committees. 423 00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:22,240 Speaker 1: Number one, I have never seen a witness as moonbat 424 00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:28,520 Speaker 1: bizarre out there as this witness. And I've also never 425 00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:34,000 Speaker 1: seen a witness as contemptuous of a senator asking her 426 00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:37,560 Speaker 1: a question in a Senate hearing as that professor was. 427 00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:40,520 Speaker 1: And it's the contempt of the hard left. It's the 428 00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:43,760 Speaker 1: same contempt of the White House staffer that said to 429 00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:48,600 Speaker 1: Jill Biden call hispanics tacos. It's if you don't agree 430 00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:55,440 Speaker 1: with what we demand, it is sneering, condescension. You're opening 431 00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:59,880 Speaker 1: up for violence. After that exchange, I pulled Josh aside 432 00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:04,199 Speaker 1: the Senate floor, and I was like, holy crap, what 433 00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:07,879 Speaker 1: an exchange. And I actually confessed, I said, you know, 434 00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:11,560 Speaker 1: my team had written a line of questioning similar to this, 435 00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:15,320 Speaker 1: because she used in her written testimony also the phrase 436 00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:21,800 Speaker 1: person with capacity for pregnancy. And I decided to focus 437 00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:23,679 Speaker 1: on the Durban and Biden stuff as well, just to 438 00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:28,040 Speaker 1: show how radical the Democrats were, rather than going after 439 00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:32,920 Speaker 1: the witness in particular. But when Holly did that and 440 00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:36,040 Speaker 1: she came back snaring, I actually asked him, I said, 441 00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:38,480 Speaker 1: how on earth did you keep your cool? I thought 442 00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:41,760 Speaker 1: Josh did a very nice job of staying calm. I'll 443 00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:44,320 Speaker 1: confess I do not think I would have remained that 444 00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:49,560 Speaker 1: calm to that. He was amused, and I am particularly 445 00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:51,600 Speaker 1: like you know, oh, I bet I would learn a 446 00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:55,840 Speaker 1: lot in your class, like this is her students. I mean, 447 00:27:55,920 --> 00:28:05,720 Speaker 1: you're literally if you believe that women get pregnant, apparently 448 00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:13,800 Speaker 1: that statement is inciting to violence. That's just that is 449 00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:19,480 Speaker 1: a clip every voter in America should watch the day 450 00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:23,000 Speaker 1: before election day. I'll tell you in exchange I had 451 00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:27,119 Speaker 1: with another Democrat senator on Judiciary Committee, Oh, I don't know, 452 00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:31,679 Speaker 1: maybe a year ago, where he referred to birthing people 453 00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:35,800 Speaker 1: and I pulled him aside and I said, birthing people, like, 454 00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:41,760 Speaker 1: is your base really that moon bat crazy that you 455 00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:46,800 Speaker 1: can't say bombs? Like, like, is the word mother now forbidden? 456 00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:50,520 Speaker 1: And he basically admitted, yeah it is. And you just 457 00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:56,160 Speaker 1: saw she's unwilling to acknowledge that it is women who 458 00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:58,520 Speaker 1: give birth. There's an irony to this too, which is 459 00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:00,400 Speaker 1: that they're own. People don't love this. I mean, I'm 460 00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:03,000 Speaker 1: with you. I think we should plaster this clip everywhere. 461 00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:06,280 Speaker 1: I endorse this woman, Professor Bridges. I endorse her for 462 00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:10,480 Speaker 1: the twenty twenty four Democratic presidential nomination. Please, Professor Bridges, 463 00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:14,520 Speaker 1: now is the time we need you to accuse ninety 464 00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:17,120 Speaker 1: percent of America, which understands that men and women are different. 465 00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:18,920 Speaker 1: We need you to call them all killers. That's that's 466 00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:20,800 Speaker 1: the way that we want you to run that election. 467 00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:23,680 Speaker 1: But and by the way, we need Kamala Harris and 468 00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:26,440 Speaker 1: Elizabeth Ward and Pete Buddha Judge and Gavin Newsom to 469 00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:31,560 Speaker 1: get to the left of crazy like that. I don't 470 00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:34,080 Speaker 1: even know what the next step is, like, like, if 471 00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:37,840 Speaker 1: you're not allowed to say men and women, transhumanism might 472 00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:39,840 Speaker 1: be the next thing? Is species? Is m I don't 473 00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:42,840 Speaker 1: know that. I don't want to give them ideas. But 474 00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:46,320 Speaker 1: there's this irony here which you mentioned that the Democratic 475 00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:50,560 Speaker 1: Democratic senators, for goodness sakes, but certainly these professors are 476 00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:54,360 Speaker 1: using all these phrases birthing people, persons with the capacity 477 00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:58,200 Speaker 1: to become pregnant, just erasing women entirely from public life. 478 00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:00,640 Speaker 1: There was a major criticism of this the other day 479 00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:04,240 Speaker 1: from my absolute favorite Twitter account. Sorry, Senator, you are 480 00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:07,760 Speaker 1: not my favorite. My actual favorite Twitter account is Bett Midler. 481 00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:11,200 Speaker 1: She posts by far the greatest stuff on that platform. 482 00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:15,040 Speaker 1: Bette Midler, radical to the left, probably not the highest 483 00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:18,160 Speaker 1: information voter out there, and she posts in one of 484 00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:23,240 Speaker 1: her rants on Twitter, she says, these misogynists, these sexist conservatives, 485 00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:26,080 Speaker 1: they are racing women. They're taking away our rights. They 486 00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:28,960 Speaker 1: won't even call us women anymore. They call us birthing 487 00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:31,320 Speaker 1: people and all these sorts of euphemisms. And I read 488 00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:33,840 Speaker 1: that and I said, well, I'm I'm with you, Darling, 489 00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:37,200 Speaker 1: I'm with you, miss Midler. We're not the ones using 490 00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:42,200 Speaker 1: the phrase birthing people. And the funny thing is that exchange. 491 00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:47,440 Speaker 1: I saw that tweet the left letter on fire. Yeah, 492 00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:52,520 Speaker 1: and she look, it is obviously yes, I believe women exist. 493 00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:55,560 Speaker 1: That that didn't used to be a radical statement. And 494 00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:59,360 Speaker 1: so the phrase is at look you actually skipped over 495 00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:04,560 Speaker 1: the phrase she used. She referred to they won't call 496 00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:08,880 Speaker 1: us women, they call us people with vaginas. I gotta say, 497 00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:14,360 Speaker 1: that's an obnoxious but like it really is reducing women 498 00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:18,280 Speaker 1: to genitalia. And that's the modern left and and it 499 00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:22,000 Speaker 1: and even Bett Midler recognizes this is horrible. And so 500 00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:28,320 Speaker 1: the woke left immediately says Bett Midler, you're not woke enough. 501 00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:30,960 Speaker 1: I will say, by the way, as obnoxious as Bette 502 00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:34,400 Speaker 1: Midler can be on Twitter, she is one heck of 503 00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:36,720 Speaker 1: a singer. Have you seen the movie for the Boys? 504 00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:42,040 Speaker 1: I haven't. No, Oh, oh it's it's a fabulous movie 505 00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:45,360 Speaker 1: with with James con and we just lost yeah. Um. 506 00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:48,920 Speaker 1: And they're a husband wife who are singing and they 507 00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:52,280 Speaker 1: sing for the troops and it starts in the fifties 508 00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:54,760 Speaker 1: and goes through Vietnam. It starts in the forties, actually 509 00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:59,040 Speaker 1: goes through Vietnam and they age and it's a fabulous show. 510 00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:02,800 Speaker 1: But but the songs. I may not be a fan 511 00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:05,360 Speaker 1: of her politics generally, but but but that woman can 512 00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:08,360 Speaker 1: sing well. Speaking of left wing singers who are taking 513 00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:11,360 Speaker 1: issue with this. Did did you see the Macy Gray 514 00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:17,440 Speaker 1: interview flip flop on the specific issue on transgenderism. I 515 00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:20,040 Speaker 1: have no idea who that person is. She did that song. 516 00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:24,120 Speaker 1: I try to say good bye? And how much of 517 00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:25,240 Speaker 1: this song am I gonna have to get through it 518 00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:28,320 Speaker 1: before you? I have no idea who that person is. Well, 519 00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:30,479 Speaker 1: then I will spare you the rest of the one 520 00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:33,040 Speaker 1: Macy Gray song. I know Macy Gray was this singer. 521 00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:36,240 Speaker 1: She still is. She's still around. She was a popular 522 00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:38,480 Speaker 1: singer in the late nineties or early two thousands. She's 523 00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:40,600 Speaker 1: kind of making a comeback now, she's got some new 524 00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:43,160 Speaker 1: album coming out. And so she goes on an interview 525 00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:46,720 Speaker 1: on Piers Morgan's show, and she says she acknowledges. She says, look, 526 00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:49,200 Speaker 1: I know this isn't politically correct right now. I know 527 00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:52,680 Speaker 1: I might irritate some people, but I'm a woman. It 528 00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:55,040 Speaker 1: matters to me to be a woman, and I don't 529 00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:57,760 Speaker 1: I don't think that men who call themselves women, I 530 00:32:57,760 --> 00:32:59,480 Speaker 1: don't think they're really women. I don't think if you 531 00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:02,320 Speaker 1: get a surge that magically makes you a woman, I 532 00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:05,480 Speaker 1: am woman. Hear me, roar really basic point. Everybody would 533 00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:08,760 Speaker 1: have agreed with this. Five minutes ago, the left lights 534 00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:11,280 Speaker 1: her up. I'm sure she got a bunch of angry 535 00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:14,000 Speaker 1: calls from her agent. She goes on the Today Show. 536 00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:17,280 Speaker 1: She goes on with Hoda, the host on the Today Show, 537 00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:20,440 Speaker 1: and it was like a hostage tape and she's sitting there. 538 00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:22,760 Speaker 1: This is just what four days after she made the 539 00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:25,480 Speaker 1: comments of her very clear views that she had considered 540 00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:27,800 Speaker 1: and she knew wouldn't be popular, and then she completely 541 00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:32,120 Speaker 1: flips them. And the interviewer says, so, Macy, have you learned? 542 00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:35,120 Speaker 1: What have you learned? Have you have you been educated? 543 00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:40,880 Speaker 1: And Macy says, yeah, well I guess anyway, Yeah, okay, fine, 544 00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:42,720 Speaker 1: anybody can be a woman. All right, can you buy 545 00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:46,160 Speaker 1: my album now? Please? And she was browbeaten into falling 546 00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:49,200 Speaker 1: into line. But I wonder how many more Macy Gray 547 00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:52,400 Speaker 1: wanted to get rid of the national anthem. Okay, Macy 548 00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:54,280 Speaker 1: Gray wanted to get rid of the star spangled banner 549 00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:56,600 Speaker 1: because she's so far to the left and she was 550 00:33:56,640 --> 00:33:59,160 Speaker 1: swept up in the anti American rhetoric of the last 551 00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:01,560 Speaker 1: few years. She has not a conservative. Bette Midler is 552 00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:04,800 Speaker 1: not a conservative. If if the libs. If the Democrats 553 00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:07,920 Speaker 1: are losing Bet and Macy, how many more people are 554 00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:10,920 Speaker 1: they losing on this issue? Well, you forgot jk Rowling, 555 00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:15,560 Speaker 1: who even Harry Potter. Potter has denounced jk Rowling, who 556 00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:21,520 Speaker 1: wrote the whole damn thing again for the radical heresy 557 00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:27,799 Speaker 1: of saying women exist. So I sort of hope that 558 00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:31,880 Speaker 1: this issue is one where the left is leaning really hard. 559 00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:34,799 Speaker 1: I don't maybe because they really believe it ideologically, maybe 560 00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:36,960 Speaker 1: because they need to serve a radical base. But I 561 00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:40,880 Speaker 1: just think if if now Bette Midler and Macy Grayer 562 00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:44,080 Speaker 1: are and jk Rowling are considered on the right, how 563 00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:46,399 Speaker 1: do they expect to win an election in November? Forget 564 00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:50,399 Speaker 1: about twenty twenty four. Well, and actually this connects back 565 00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:52,520 Speaker 1: to the issue we started with, which was the whole 566 00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:57,279 Speaker 1: Latin X thing. So look, literally, the Spanish language. You 567 00:34:57,480 --> 00:35:00,560 Speaker 1: define someone Latino and Latina based on whether they're male 568 00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:05,160 Speaker 1: or female, and most words in Spanish are either male 569 00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:11,120 Speaker 1: or female. The entire language it is designed is structure. 570 00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:12,759 Speaker 1: In fact, one of the reasons my Spanish is so 571 00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:15,120 Speaker 1: loudly as I screw up the male and female and 572 00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:20,880 Speaker 1: all the time in Spanish. But someone putting Latin x 573 00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:26,920 Speaker 1: in is literally saying your entire language and culture matters 574 00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:31,719 Speaker 1: less to me than my ideology that women do not exist. 575 00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:36,440 Speaker 1: I mean, it's that's weird. Well, now this does get 576 00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:38,640 Speaker 1: to a mail back question we got because if you 577 00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:40,760 Speaker 1: look at the polls right now, the Democrats are underwater 578 00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:44,360 Speaker 1: on every single issue, with this possible exception of COVID, 579 00:35:44,640 --> 00:35:46,600 Speaker 1: that's the one issue where they might have a very 580 00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:50,360 Speaker 1: slight net positives. This question in from Jake Rachel Wilensky, 581 00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:54,000 Speaker 1: CDC director and Joe Biden are already sounding the alarm 582 00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:57,200 Speaker 1: on a new round of COVID. In your estimation, Senator, 583 00:35:57,280 --> 00:36:04,040 Speaker 1: are the Democrats planning to lock down again before the midterms. Um? 584 00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:07,440 Speaker 1: I doubt they'll go so far as to lockdown, but 585 00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:10,640 Speaker 1: I do think the Democrats desperately want a COVID scare. 586 00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:14,960 Speaker 1: They want masks, they want I think they view that 587 00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:19,879 Speaker 1: as one of the few issues that can rescue them. 588 00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:22,640 Speaker 1: I'll be surprised if they go so far as to 589 00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:26,440 Speaker 1: try lockdowns again, But but I do think some good 590 00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:30,480 Speaker 1: old fashioned fearmongering we're definitely we saw that on Monkeypox, 591 00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:34,120 Speaker 1: where where the White House was was trying to lean 592 00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:39,240 Speaker 1: in on that they're really eager for some health threat 593 00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:43,120 Speaker 1: to distract from from the train wreck that that that 594 00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:46,880 Speaker 1: is their policy failures. This question from our cactus are 595 00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:50,600 Speaker 1: very uncactus. This comes from the Verdict plus community. She says. 596 00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:53,880 Speaker 1: Some conservatives handle a banning by sticking to their guns, 597 00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:57,160 Speaker 1: like the Babylon Bee who you just referenced. Well, others 598 00:36:57,160 --> 00:36:59,680 Speaker 1: will follow along with Twitter rules so that they can 599 00:36:59,719 --> 00:37:02,960 Speaker 1: mean their platform and continue to call out Twitter's hypocrisy. 600 00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:06,400 Speaker 1: If one of our friends from Verdict were in this situation, 601 00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:11,880 Speaker 1: what would they do? Senator Awfully good question, I will say. 602 00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:17,240 Speaker 1: The last podcast we did, we talked about Jordan Peterson 603 00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:21,040 Speaker 1: being banned from Twitter. We talked about Dave Reuben being 604 00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:24,000 Speaker 1: banned from from Twitter. I've spoken out against both of those. 605 00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:29,319 Speaker 1: As it so happened. Last night, I had dinner with 606 00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:32,320 Speaker 1: Jordan Peterson and I asked him and he's still banned, 607 00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:36,439 Speaker 1: and and Jordan said, look, I will not take down 608 00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:41,880 Speaker 1: the tweet no matter what UM and I did marvel 609 00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:44,280 Speaker 1: over dinner, I said, at least so far, Twitter hasn't 610 00:37:44,280 --> 00:37:47,560 Speaker 1: banned me. They may, they may try, but they haven't yet. 611 00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:51,120 Speaker 1: And so we'll cross that bridge when we come to it, 612 00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:56,279 Speaker 1: but but I'm not sure how eager they are to 613 00:37:56,360 --> 00:37:58,319 Speaker 1: do it. But we'll see. I think there will come 614 00:37:58,360 --> 00:38:00,440 Speaker 1: a time when when when they try to me, but 615 00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:03,240 Speaker 1: they haven't done it yet. I do think her prudence 616 00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:06,920 Speaker 1: is also important. You know, we're called to be innocent 617 00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:10,000 Speaker 1: as doves and wise as serpents, and so you do 618 00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:11,880 Speaker 1: want to be able to live to fight another day. 619 00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:13,960 Speaker 1: You don't want to do something that's wrong or immoral 620 00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:16,359 Speaker 1: or break your principles, but you want to be able 621 00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:19,120 Speaker 1: to live to fight another day. So one tangible way 622 00:38:19,120 --> 00:38:20,759 Speaker 1: that you can do this, one a real practical way 623 00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:23,160 Speaker 1: to do it is when you look at why Jordan 624 00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:25,560 Speaker 1: was banned. He was banned because he referred to the 625 00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:28,719 Speaker 1: actress Ellen Page as Ellen Page, and he called her 626 00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:32,480 Speaker 1: she instead of he, and or by the male name 627 00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:34,839 Speaker 1: that she has now assumed, because she's saying that she's 628 00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:37,600 Speaker 1: a man. And they said that this is misgendering her, 629 00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:40,920 Speaker 1: which is ironic because he was just gendering her. The 630 00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:43,240 Speaker 1: only people misgendering her are the people who were suggesting 631 00:38:43,239 --> 00:38:45,320 Speaker 1: that she's not a young lady who we've seen in 632 00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:48,000 Speaker 1: a bunch of movies for years and years now. So 633 00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:50,000 Speaker 1: how does one deal with this? You know, this is 634 00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:53,799 Speaker 1: the same reason Dave was banned, is because he just 635 00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:56,880 Speaker 1: posted what Jordan posted and then they took him down too. 636 00:38:56,960 --> 00:38:59,680 Speaker 1: How do you get around this? I don't think that 637 00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:04,840 Speaker 1: you should cave and squish and call Ellen Elliott and 638 00:39:04,960 --> 00:39:07,839 Speaker 1: him and you know, go along with the Twitter rules. 639 00:39:07,880 --> 00:39:10,920 Speaker 1: But does this mean that therefore you need to just 640 00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:14,720 Speaker 1: go full steam ahead Kama Kaze in new cure account. 641 00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:16,279 Speaker 1: I'm not sure that you have to. I mean, I 642 00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:18,839 Speaker 1: think there are ways around this. One way, well, one 643 00:39:18,880 --> 00:39:21,759 Speaker 1: way to do it is you write el L and 644 00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:24,440 Speaker 1: put a couple of asterisks afterward, or you say you 645 00:39:24,480 --> 00:39:27,799 Speaker 1: know Ellen ya age pay or you know she who 646 00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:29,520 Speaker 1: must not be named or something, and you can call 647 00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:34,360 Speaker 1: attention to this insane rule that effectively bans all all 648 00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:38,560 Speaker 1: disagreement with transgenderism. But but you're still in the game, 649 00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:41,520 Speaker 1: You're still there to fight another day. Question from Ray. 650 00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:43,120 Speaker 1: This is something I actually had meant to get to 651 00:39:43,160 --> 00:39:45,239 Speaker 1: and we didn't get to it yet, So I'm glad 652 00:39:45,239 --> 00:39:50,480 Speaker 1: it came up. Will President Biden's Executive Order to protect 653 00:39:50,600 --> 00:39:52,920 Speaker 1: abortion rights and I saw the headline. Actually haven't read 654 00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:55,240 Speaker 1: very much about it. Will that executive order to protect 655 00:39:55,239 --> 00:39:59,400 Speaker 1: abortion rights nationwide have any power now that revueweight is overturned. 656 00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:05,680 Speaker 1: I don't know, is the short answer. Um the executive order. 657 00:40:05,719 --> 00:40:09,040 Speaker 1: There wasn't a whole lot of detail in it, so 658 00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:12,479 Speaker 1: we'll see what the administration tries to do. I will 659 00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:14,640 Speaker 1: say one of the interesting things in the wake of 660 00:40:17,360 --> 00:40:22,680 Speaker 1: the wake of the Dobb's decision is the radical left 661 00:40:22,719 --> 00:40:25,120 Speaker 1: has gotten mad with the Biden White House for not 662 00:40:25,680 --> 00:40:28,920 Speaker 1: being like super extreme and like I don't even know 663 00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:31,479 Speaker 1: what they're supposed to do, but you know, turning every 664 00:40:31,520 --> 00:40:37,560 Speaker 1: post office in America into a mobile abortion hospital. M 665 00:40:39,400 --> 00:40:41,880 Speaker 1: And we saw the White House actually put out a 666 00:40:41,920 --> 00:40:47,040 Speaker 1: statement blasting the far left is out of touch with America. 667 00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:50,399 Speaker 1: It was really quite remarkable. I do who do hope 668 00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:55,600 Speaker 1: whoever wrote that statement watched the hearing today that that 669 00:40:55,800 --> 00:40:59,040 Speaker 1: Durban and the Democrats put on because they're you know 670 00:40:59,120 --> 00:41:03,719 Speaker 1: that the Democrat witnesses whereas woke as you can get. Yeah, 671 00:41:04,200 --> 00:41:06,360 Speaker 1: something tells me that it wouldn't play very well with 672 00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:09,240 Speaker 1: nice little old grandmother's you know, going to the post office, 673 00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:11,759 Speaker 1: ready ready to go vote, and it turns out they've 674 00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:14,319 Speaker 1: turned the post office into an abortion mill or the 675 00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:17,520 Speaker 1: national parks or anything else like that final question, very 676 00:41:17,560 --> 00:41:20,800 Speaker 1: important one from Adam in our Verdict Plus community Michael 677 00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:23,880 Speaker 1: and Ted, if you could eat anything right now in 678 00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:26,400 Speaker 1: the whole world, what would it be? Cheese is my 679 00:41:26,480 --> 00:41:30,319 Speaker 1: favorite food at Casada, like what I get home. My 680 00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:33,160 Speaker 1: sort of comfort food at home if I get home 681 00:41:33,160 --> 00:41:36,480 Speaker 1: and I'm hungry, is I'll take a tortilla or too 682 00:41:36,560 --> 00:41:40,200 Speaker 1: and just melt cheese in it, which just made me realize, 683 00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:43,400 Speaker 1: Holy crap, Jill Biden is right, I'm a taco because 684 00:41:43,440 --> 00:41:45,600 Speaker 1: that's that's what I have. Is that I have a 685 00:41:45,680 --> 00:41:49,279 Speaker 1: melted cheese gaza theia. No, that is obviously, and it 686 00:41:49,360 --> 00:41:52,239 Speaker 1: is Tuesday, Senator, it is taco Tuesday. I will not 687 00:41:52,680 --> 00:41:54,760 Speaker 1: say that what I would eat right now is a taco. 688 00:41:54,800 --> 00:41:56,840 Speaker 1: I think that would be a direct threat against a 689 00:41:56,960 --> 00:42:00,759 Speaker 1: US senator. That would not be acceptable at all. So 690 00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:03,920 Speaker 1: I'll keep Mum and Michael, I will give you you 691 00:42:03,920 --> 00:42:06,279 Speaker 1: need to answer the question from from Verdict Plus, but 692 00:42:06,320 --> 00:42:09,279 Speaker 1: I will. I will give a shout out to my 693 00:42:09,320 --> 00:42:13,280 Speaker 1: colleague Marco Rubio. So in response to the taco speech, 694 00:42:14,080 --> 00:42:17,920 Speaker 1: Um I said I was a thereiso, egg and cheese taco, 695 00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:20,719 Speaker 1: which was fine. It was a decent tweet, but it 696 00:42:20,800 --> 00:42:26,680 Speaker 1: wasn't fabulous. Marco sent out a picture of a taco 697 00:42:26,800 --> 00:42:30,360 Speaker 1: and said my new profile picture, and I was like, 698 00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:33,800 Speaker 1: all right, that is funny that that that was props 699 00:42:33,840 --> 00:42:37,560 Speaker 1: to best response I think I've seen was Marco's response. 700 00:42:38,280 --> 00:42:41,320 Speaker 1: I guess I'll take inspiration from your description to meet Senator. 701 00:42:41,440 --> 00:42:43,960 Speaker 1: I probably would just go eat a big, fat meatball. 702 00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:45,799 Speaker 1: I'm with you. I'm not a sweet sky. I'm a 703 00:42:45,800 --> 00:42:48,280 Speaker 1: salty guy, you know, a savory sort of guy. Really, 704 00:42:48,320 --> 00:42:51,120 Speaker 1: probably what I would have is a delicious cigar. I ate. 705 00:42:51,239 --> 00:42:53,840 Speaker 1: I ate dinner already as well. It's the end of 706 00:42:53,840 --> 00:42:57,480 Speaker 1: the night. We've we've been unwinding, you have been working 707 00:42:57,560 --> 00:42:59,400 Speaker 1: all day.
