WEBVTT - Lying Sacks Of Crap 0:00:00.440 --> 0:00:03.680 About half an hour ago, the Senate voted to shoot 0:00:03.720 --> 0:00:07.440 down the Democrats plan to codify ro versus Wade into 0:00:07.560 --> 0:00:12.560 law pass a radical national abortion bill.

Now, 0:00:31.360 --> 0:00:33.360 the new inflation numbers are out, and I think we 0:00:33.400 --> 0:00:35.720 can all agree they are incredibly depressing. The price of 0:00:35.800 --> 0:00:38.440 gas is way up, the price of housing is up, 0:00:38.560 --> 0:00:42.560 the US national debt is way way way up. And unfortunately, 0:00:42.640 --> 0:00:45.199 given the way that our current administration prints money and 0:00:45.240 --> 0:00:48.240 spends money, experts don't see this going away, this inflation 0:00:48.320 --> 0:00:52.680 going away anytime soon.

This is all happening in 0:04:08.560 --> 0:04:11.480 real time. Right now takes me back to our earliest 0:04:11.520 --> 0:04:14.880 days on this show during impeachment. You've just come from 0:04:14.920 --> 0:04:18.479 the Capitol. You've just voted to shoot down this Democrats 0:04:18.600 --> 0:04:21.440 abortion rights bill. The way this is being reported right 0:04:21.480 --> 0:04:25.120 now in the Associated Press and MSNBC is that a 0:04:25.360 --> 0:04:32.000 gop led filibuster stopped the abortion bill. Last I checked, 0:04:32.000 --> 0:04:35.680 the vote was forty nine in favor fifty one against. 0:04:36.000 --> 0:04:38.960 Am I crazy. Is this just my legal ignorance or 0:04:39.040 --> 0:04:42.240 is that not a filibuster? Yes, you stopped trying to 0:04:42.320 --> 0:04:45.279 bring math into it. The fact is a majority of 0:04:45.279 --> 0:04:48.320 the Senate voted against this radical bill. But the press 0:04:48.360 --> 0:04:50.800 doesn't like that news that the real headline should be 0:04:50.880 --> 0:04:55.360 bipartisan majority of the Senate rejects radical pro abortion bill. 0:04:55.480 --> 0:04:59.400 That would in fact be the accurate headline. But you know, 0:04:59.440 --> 0:05:01.479 it's interesting. The other part of the headline, it's not 0:05:01.560 --> 0:05:05.680 just the filibuster part that is inaccurate, is the part 0:05:05.760 --> 0:05:09.119 that says codifies Row. This bill does nothing of the sword. 0:05:09.200 --> 0:05:12.400 It doesn't. When you read codifies Row, you think, oh, 0:05:12.440 --> 0:05:16.359 it goes back to the way things were before the 0:05:16.400 --> 0:05:18.839 Supreme Court decides the Dobbs case. Well, no, that's not 0:05:18.880 --> 0:05:22.840 what this bill does. If this bill passed, it would 0:05:22.920 --> 0:05:26.440 be a radical bill. It would strike down just about 0:05:26.520 --> 0:05:30.120 every reasonable, common sense restriction on abortion that has been 0:05:30.200 --> 0:05:34.080 enacted the last forty nine years. Under ROW. It's been 0:05:34.160 --> 0:05:38.280 deemed permissible even already, for states to limit late term abortions, 0:05:38.320 --> 0:05:41.560 for states to restrict taxpayer funding of abortions, for states 0:05:41.560 --> 0:05:46.760 to require parental consent or parental notification. This Democrat bill 0:05:46.800 --> 0:05:49.640 strikes all those laws down. This Democrat bill is the 0:05:49.760 --> 0:05:53.359 unlimited Abortion for All bill. Think about it for a 0:05:53.400 --> 0:05:56.680 minute that forty nine Democrats were happy to vote for that. 0:05:57.000 --> 0:05:59.960 The only one who voted with the Republicans was Joe Mann. 0:06:00.960 --> 0:06:04.400 The bill couldn't codify ROW because parts of Row versus 0:06:04.440 --> 0:06:07.119 Weight have already been overruled. They were overruled by Planned 0:06:07.120 --> 0:06:10.919 Parenthood v. Casey, which changed some of the reasoning and 0:06:10.960 --> 0:06:14.080 some of the processes for abortion. And so you know, 0:06:14.320 --> 0:06:17.040 this has been an ongoing debate for a long time. 0:06:17.640 --> 0:06:22.280 Your colleague, Senator Elizabeth Warren yesterday said that the dabb's 0:06:22.320 --> 0:06:26.520 decision could represent an extremist, right wing Supreme Court imposing 0:06:26.560 --> 0:06:30.640 its views on the American people because if versus Weight 0:06:30.760 --> 0:06:33.760 is overruled, then you'll have a situation where the majority 0:06:33.800 --> 0:06:37.920 of states will impose severe restrictions on abortion immediately. If 0:06:37.960 --> 0:06:40.440 the majority of states are going to impose new restrictions, 0:06:40.440 --> 0:06:43.359 how is the Supreme Court imposing its views on the people. 0:06:44.279 --> 0:06:47.600 This is literally an example where for Democrats and the press, 0:06:47.880 --> 0:06:50.520 up is down, right, has left, everything is backwards and 0:06:50.640 --> 0:06:55.279 upside down. You have Democrats screaming that overturning Row is 0:06:55.279 --> 0:06:58.920 an assault on democracy. In fact, if the Court does 0:06:58.960 --> 0:07:02.400 overturn Row, it is a victory for democracy. Rowe was 0:07:02.440 --> 0:07:06.120 an assault on democracy. Roe versus Wade was seven unelected 0:07:06.160 --> 0:07:10.360 lawyers in black robes saying, you stupid voters don't know 0:07:10.400 --> 0:07:12.960 how to resolve these issues rights. We're not going to 0:07:13.080 --> 0:07:14.760 let you do this now. For one hundred and eighty 0:07:14.800 --> 0:07:16.920 five years, literally from the beginning of our country until 0:07:16.960 --> 0:07:20.760 nineteen seventy three, questions of abortion were decided by the 0:07:20.840 --> 0:07:24.040 voters and by the state legislatures that were elected by 0:07:24.040 --> 0:07:27.240 the voters. Roe said no more. They said, we don't 0:07:27.240 --> 0:07:30.080 believe in democracy. And the reason Democrats are freaking out 0:07:30.160 --> 0:07:34.080 right now is you know, when poker at tell is 0:07:34.120 --> 0:07:37.320 when they do something that gives away what their hand 0:07:37.440 --> 0:07:40.120 is when they're and they're trying to represent something other 0:07:40.160 --> 0:07:42.480 than what their hand is here, the Democrats have a tell. 0:07:43.640 --> 0:07:47.920 Number one, The fact that they're freaking out is a 0:07:48.000 --> 0:07:52.120 tell that they know their views on abortion are radical 0:07:52.160 --> 0:07:54.680 and out of touch with the American people. Forty nine 0:07:54.680 --> 0:07:58.560 of the Democrats today voted for a law that allows 0:07:58.600 --> 0:08:01.320 abortion up until the home and of birth, literally until 0:08:01.400 --> 0:08:05.040 the child is being born. This Democrat bill would allowed 0:08:05.040 --> 0:08:07.440 to abortion. Do you know the latest polling, You know 0:08:07.480 --> 0:08:10.360 what percent of Americans agree with abortion up until the 0:08:10.440 --> 0:08:13.640 very instant of birth? Six percent? Wow, six percent of 0:08:13.640 --> 0:08:17.360 Americans agree with the position of forty nine out of 0:08:17.400 --> 0:08:21.800 fifty Democrats and Joe Biden and Kamala Harris Elizabeth Warren 0:08:21.880 --> 0:08:25.400 when she's screaming and ranting and raving, it's because the 0:08:25.520 --> 0:08:27.440 voters are going to be allowed to do what they 0:08:27.480 --> 0:08:31.720 think is right and not be subject to her radical decrees. Now, 0:08:31.720 --> 0:08:34.880 the Democrats have another tell, which is you notice that 0:08:35.120 --> 0:08:37.960 when they're talking about the Dabbs decision, they very very 0:08:38.000 --> 0:08:44.480 quickly say, if this decision goes into effect, it will 0:08:44.520 --> 0:08:49.400 strike down the availability of contraceptives, it will strike down 0:08:50.160 --> 0:08:54.120 gay marriage and an interracial marriage. That the New York 0:08:54.200 --> 0:08:57.880 Times went so far. The editorial board the New York 0:08:57.880 --> 0:09:01.520 Times suggested that there are multiples in the Union that, 0:09:01.600 --> 0:09:06.200 if they were allowed to, would ban interracial marriage. What 0:09:06.520 --> 0:09:13.360 utter garbage, you bigoted, moronic Manhattan leftist elite, lying sacks 0:09:13.400 --> 0:09:16.520 of crap. But how do you really feel? Yeah, it 0:09:17.000 --> 0:09:18.880 kind of pisses me off. And I would note by 0:09:18.880 --> 0:09:22.680 the way that these racist leftists of the New York Times, 0:09:23.400 --> 0:09:25.600 there may be no one on planet Earth whom they 0:09:25.679 --> 0:09:29.560 despise more than Justice Clarence Thomas, who is married to 0:09:29.600 --> 0:09:32.040 a white woman. He is in an interracial marriage. I 0:09:32.080 --> 0:09:36.120 suspect Clarence Thomas would be quite surprised if he were 0:09:36.120 --> 0:09:39.280 doing something to strike down interracial marriage. But the only 0:09:39.360 --> 0:09:41.880 people who imagine interracial marriage is going to be struck 0:09:41.920 --> 0:09:45.280 down is radical leftist because they've never actually met a 0:09:45.320 --> 0:09:51.000 conservative voter, so they think we're all bigoted clansmen. But 0:09:51.200 --> 0:09:55.360 here's the tell on this. When the Democrats and the 0:09:55.440 --> 0:10:00.360 press are not defending their positions on abortion, it's because 0:10:00.400 --> 0:10:04.240 they know their positions on abortion are wildly out of 0:10:04.240 --> 0:10:08.240 the mainstream. So anytime you hear them talking about contraception 0:10:08.360 --> 0:10:11.680 or marriage, it's because they're trying to change the subject. Well, 0:10:11.880 --> 0:10:14.240 so this raises a question to me that I do 0:10:14.280 --> 0:10:16.800 not have an answer to, which is why would the 0:10:16.840 --> 0:10:20.439 Democrats bring up this bill? It makes them look extremely foolish. 0:10:20.600 --> 0:10:23.400 It gives away the whole game. It shows that actually 0:10:23.760 --> 0:10:26.640 the overruling of Row is not an assault on democracy, 0:10:26.640 --> 0:10:29.600 that actually most people don't want this kind of crazy, 0:10:29.720 --> 0:10:33.720 extreme abortion agenda. Elizabeth Warren admitted it herself in this 0:10:33.800 --> 0:10:37.800 column in Marie Claire Magazine. Wait, you're reading Marie Claire magazine. 0:10:37.800 --> 0:10:40.800 Oh constantly, Michael, Why are you reading Marie Claire magazine? 0:10:40.800 --> 0:10:43.280 And what is Marie Claire Magazine? I am so I 0:10:43.320 --> 0:10:45.840 cannot believe how uncultured you are. Senator. Next you're going 0:10:45.880 --> 0:10:48.320 to tell me you don't read Glamor either. I only 0:10:48.400 --> 0:10:52.160 raise Cosmo for teams only because that's fair enough. So 0:10:52.200 --> 0:10:54.559 why are they doing this? They've got egg on their face. 0:10:54.920 --> 0:10:57.959 It looks pathetic. Is it just to appease the base? 0:10:59.000 --> 0:11:03.600 You've got to understand today's Democrats are captured by the 0:11:03.720 --> 0:11:09.440 radical activists on every issue. On immigration, they're captured by 0:11:09.480 --> 0:11:15.320 the open border radicals, on issues of dr gender, they're 0:11:15.400 --> 0:11:21.160 they're captured by the transgender radicals, and and and on 0:11:21.240 --> 0:11:25.320 issues of abortion, they actually don't care about the swing voter. 0:11:25.400 --> 0:11:27.520 They don't care about the American people. They don't care 0:11:27.520 --> 0:11:31.600 about the soccer mom. They care about the radicals who 0:11:31.679 --> 0:11:35.120 control the money and control the foot soldiers in the 0:11:35.160 --> 0:11:39.040 Democratic Party. And here's proof of it. Chuck Schumer could 0:11:39.080 --> 0:11:41.600 have had a vote today that he would have won 0:11:41.640 --> 0:11:45.320 a buipartisan majority on so just it's a fifty fifty 0:11:45.320 --> 0:11:50.040 cent fifty Democrats fifty Republicans. Two of the Republicans, Susan 0:11:50.040 --> 0:11:53.720 Collins and Lisa Murkowski, have explicitly stated, in fact, they've 0:11:53.720 --> 0:11:58.360 introduced legislation that would do something like codifi row. It 0:11:58.400 --> 0:12:01.680 would it would take some elements of abortion off the table. 0:12:02.280 --> 0:12:04.920 It would leave some of the restrictions like partial birth 0:12:05.000 --> 0:12:08.280 and taxpayer funding and prettal consent of prettal notification in place, 0:12:08.720 --> 0:12:12.520 but it would it would be more accurately described as 0:12:12.559 --> 0:12:16.600 codifying Row than this current radical bill. If Schumer had 0:12:16.600 --> 0:12:18.679 brought that up, he would have won today fifty three 0:12:18.720 --> 0:12:21.199 to forty seven. He would have gotten the forty nine 0:12:21.240 --> 0:12:24.120 Democrats have voted for this, He would have gotten Joe 0:12:24.120 --> 0:12:26.439 mentioned who he lost. He would have gotten two Republicans. 0:12:26.480 --> 0:12:29.840 Now it still wouldn't have passed because it would take 0:12:29.920 --> 0:12:31.840 sixty to go up, but we would have had a 0:12:31.880 --> 0:12:35.040 vote that was fifty fifty three forty seven, and the 0:12:35.120 --> 0:12:38.920 Democrats could accurately say bipartisan majority of the Senate votes 0:12:39.200 --> 0:12:42.920 to rebuke the Court. They don't care, their radicals don't 0:12:42.960 --> 0:12:48.400 actually want anything like a middle ground. They are appeasing 0:12:48.640 --> 0:12:51.560 the crazies. Well, speaking of the craziest center, I mean, 0:12:51.600 --> 0:12:55.040 you're kind of seeing this right now in Washington, d C. 0:12:55.200 --> 0:12:58.800 In Virginia, which is that the White House is refusing 0:12:58.840 --> 0:13:02.880 to condemn the protesters who were showing up not even 0:13:02.960 --> 0:13:05.760 just to the Supreme Court, which is a questionable practice 0:13:05.760 --> 0:13:07.160 in and of itself, and we can get to it. 0:13:07.320 --> 0:13:10.240 They're showing up to the homes of judges where their 0:13:10.320 --> 0:13:14.480 children sleep, protesting, screaming in residential neighborhoods. The White House 0:13:14.520 --> 0:13:16.120 has asked about that, what do they do? They shrugged 0:13:16.120 --> 0:13:18.720 their shoulders. The last pod, we talked about how this 0:13:18.800 --> 0:13:21.840 leak of the Supreme Court decision is an attempt to 0:13:21.880 --> 0:13:25.040 destroy the Supreme Court's attempt to tear down the rule 0:13:25.080 --> 0:13:28.199 of law, and it's an attempt to use political pressure 0:13:28.240 --> 0:13:30.880 to bully the justices into changing their votes, and it 0:13:30.920 --> 0:13:33.199 really goes right to the heart of the integrity of 0:13:33.200 --> 0:13:36.559 the institution. This is the next step of that, which 0:13:36.600 --> 0:13:39.040 is the radical showing up at the private homes of 0:13:39.080 --> 0:13:42.680 the justices, trying to intimidate them, trying to frighten them, 0:13:42.720 --> 0:13:47.200 trying to threaten them. And by the way, it's not 0:13:47.240 --> 0:13:49.280 just at the homes of the justices. These guys are 0:13:49.320 --> 0:13:53.199 also showing up at pro life advocacy groups, at pro 0:13:53.240 --> 0:13:56.679 life pregnancy centers. There was one in Wisconsin that they 0:13:56.679 --> 0:14:00.480 threw a Molotov cocktail on that they burned, that they 0:14:00.559 --> 0:14:03.160 spray painted and vandalized. There was another one in Denton, 0:14:03.200 --> 0:14:06.679 Texas that they spray painted and vandalized. There were people 0:14:06.760 --> 0:14:10.040 showing up at Catholic churches across the country and harassing 0:14:10.120 --> 0:14:13.000 people going to Mass on Sunday. I mean, it's just 0:14:13.600 --> 0:14:16.640 number one. These are vile, evil, bigoted people. I'm sorry 0:14:16.640 --> 0:14:18.920 if you go to anyone's church and harass them at church, 0:14:20.360 --> 0:14:22.360 that there is a circle of hell just for you. 0:14:22.520 --> 0:14:26.640 That that is contemptuous, even if you disagree with them. 0:14:26.720 --> 0:14:30.400 Leave them alone at church, and leave them alone at home. 0:14:30.680 --> 0:14:33.160 And I got to say the intimidation at the homes 0:14:33.160 --> 0:14:37.960 of the justices to see Jensaki repeatedly refused to condemn it. 0:14:37.960 --> 0:14:41.320 It's just peaceful. You know, several hundred angry people outside 0:14:41.360 --> 0:14:44.280 your house while your children are inside, screaming and yelling 0:14:44.280 --> 0:14:48.040 and cursing. It, that's just peaceful. It's repulsive. Well, it's 0:14:48.080 --> 0:14:50.440 also against the law, is I mean, you know you 0:14:50.760 --> 0:14:53.400 reference the acts of violence at the pro life center 0:14:53.480 --> 0:14:56.880 is the pro life pregnancy centers. But obviously that's against 0:14:56.880 --> 0:14:59.440 the law. It's also against the law to show up 0:14:59.480 --> 0:15:02.760 to it. Judges home, It's right there in the US Code. 0:15:02.800 --> 0:15:06.480 You know it better than I do. Where are the prosecutions? 0:15:06.520 --> 0:15:09.200 Where are the handcuffs? So let's talk about that. The 0:15:09.240 --> 0:15:12.920 particular federal provision you're talking about is eighteen USC. Section 0:15:13.000 --> 0:15:16.960 fifteen oh seven, and it says, whoever with the intent 0:15:17.040 --> 0:15:20.400 of interfering, with, obstructing, or impeding the administration of justice, 0:15:21.040 --> 0:15:24.960 or with the intent of influencing any judge, juror witness, 0:15:25.160 --> 0:15:28.840 or court officer in the discharge of his duty, pickets 0:15:28.920 --> 0:15:31.320 or parades inter near a building housing a court of 0:15:31.320 --> 0:15:35.600 the United States or internear a building, or residents occupied 0:15:35.760 --> 0:15:38.800 or used by such judge, juror witness, or court officer 0:15:41.600 --> 0:15:44.280 shall be fined under this title or in prison not 0:15:44.360 --> 0:15:47.720 more than one year, or both. So they're clearly doing that. 0:15:47.760 --> 0:15:49.640 They're picketing at the home of a judge with an 0:15:49.640 --> 0:15:52.440 intent of influencing the judge's decision. It's a straight out 0:15:52.480 --> 0:15:56.480 federal crime. And Merrick Garland and the corrupt Biden Department 0:15:56.480 --> 0:15:58.760 of Justice is nowhere to be found. They're not enforcing 0:15:58.760 --> 0:16:01.360 the law. And this is it is a form of 0:16:01.400 --> 0:16:03.840 obstruction of justice. It is trying to get the judge 0:16:04.120 --> 0:16:08.600 to change their mind, to change their vote, to change 0:16:08.600 --> 0:16:12.560 their decision. And I'll point out it's not just federal law. Actually, 0:16:13.160 --> 0:16:18.320 Virginia law likewise has a provision and it is section 0:16:18.600 --> 0:16:23.320 eighteen point two Das four eighteen and section eighteen point 0:16:23.320 --> 0:16:27.280 two Dash four nineteen of the Code of Virginia that 0:16:27.800 --> 0:16:32.280 makes it a crime to piket the residence of an individual. 0:16:33.000 --> 0:16:37.360 And so Virginia likewise, for those justices who live in Virginia, 0:16:37.400 --> 0:16:40.760 you've got both a federal crime and a crime in Virginia. 0:16:40.800 --> 0:16:44.520 And this is going to someone's home, I'm going to suggest, 0:16:44.640 --> 0:16:47.600 is inherently threatening and intimidating. It's one thing to go 0:16:47.640 --> 0:16:49.440 to the office. Look, there have been protests on the 0:16:49.440 --> 0:16:51.360 steps of the Supreme Court. Are actually right below the 0:16:51.400 --> 0:16:54.960 steps of the Supreme Court from the beginning of our country, 0:16:54.680 --> 0:16:57.760 from when the Supreme Court building was built and before 0:16:57.840 --> 0:17:01.560 that in the Capitol. That's perfectly fine. You want to 0:17:01.600 --> 0:17:03.920 protest on them all, that's perfectly fine. You want to 0:17:03.960 --> 0:17:07.760 protest to the public square, that's perfectly fine. There's a 0:17:07.800 --> 0:17:10.800 reason you go to someone's home. You go to someone's 0:17:10.840 --> 0:17:14.120 home because that's where they sleep, that's where their children are, 0:17:14.520 --> 0:17:16.800 that's where their physical safety is. What do you make 0:17:16.800 --> 0:17:20.199 of Chuck Schumer saying that, look, this is this is 0:17:20.240 --> 0:17:22.800 the business. We've chosen to quote him and Wroth and 0:17:22.880 --> 0:17:27.000 the Godfather, and Chuck Schumer said that he has protesters 0:17:27.000 --> 0:17:29.040 at his house three or four times a week sometimes. 0:17:29.359 --> 0:17:32.280 And if the judges didn't want that, while they're in 0:17:32.320 --> 0:17:34.600 the wrong line of work, well they are in a 0:17:34.600 --> 0:17:37.000 different line of work. This is not the business they 0:17:37.000 --> 0:17:40.879 have chosen. Politics is one thing. And listen, when I 0:17:40.960 --> 0:17:43.280 ran for office, when Schumer ran for office, part of 0:17:43.280 --> 0:17:45.639 the job is to be responsive to the people, and 0:17:45.960 --> 0:17:50.000 that means protests are a perfectly legitimate part of the 0:17:50.119 --> 0:17:53.240 political process because each of us elected to the Senate, 0:17:53.280 --> 0:17:57.600 elected to the Congress are required or had the responsibility 0:17:57.640 --> 0:18:02.600 of representing our constituents. The justices are not elected representatives. 0:18:02.640 --> 0:18:06.160 Their responsibilities to the Constitution and to the law. Now, 0:18:06.160 --> 0:18:09.760 the Democrats think this is the business the justices have chosen. 0:18:10.560 --> 0:18:13.639 And when Chuck Schumer stood on the floor steps of 0:18:13.640 --> 0:18:17.760 the Supreme Court and threatened the justices by name and said, 0:18:17.760 --> 0:18:20.520 if you decide this decision we're wrong, you will have 0:18:20.760 --> 0:18:25.960 unleashed the whirlwind, he was threatening them. And so the 0:18:26.080 --> 0:18:28.240 job of a politician the job of a justice is 0:18:28.320 --> 0:18:31.720 very different. There's a reason it is a federal criminal 0:18:31.720 --> 0:18:33.800 offense to do this to a judge and it's not 0:18:33.880 --> 0:18:37.400 a federal criminal offense to do this to an elected official, 0:18:37.440 --> 0:18:40.760 because the jobs are different, and you shouldn't be using 0:18:40.840 --> 0:18:44.520 threats and intimidation to try to change a judicial decision. 0:18:44.640 --> 0:18:48.240 Now that being said, I actually think what's happening to 0:18:48.320 --> 0:18:51.840 elected officials, whether Chuck Schumer or anyone else, has gone 0:18:51.840 --> 0:18:56.080 too far. Look, public service means a lot, but it 0:18:56.119 --> 0:19:00.520 shouldn't have to entail threats to the safety and lives 0:19:00.560 --> 0:19:03.679 of your kids. I think it should be treated as 0:19:03.680 --> 0:19:09.000 a criminal offense protesting a residential neighborhood, that there are time, place, 0:19:09.040 --> 0:19:12.720 and manner restrictions. If a protest is designed to threaten 0:19:13.080 --> 0:19:15.520 and harass an individual, you can do it at the office, 0:19:15.560 --> 0:19:17.240 you can do it in the public square, but you 0:19:17.240 --> 0:19:20.960 shouldn't be allowed to go and harass people at their homes. 0:19:21.680 --> 0:19:24.800 I totally agree. There is nothing in the text or 0:19:24.880 --> 0:19:26.920 spirit of the First Amendment that says you have a 0:19:27.040 --> 0:19:29.399 right to go to a residential neighborhood and scare a 0:19:29.400 --> 0:19:32.320 bunch of kids. Schumer is not my favorite person in 0:19:32.320 --> 0:19:33.880 the world, but I think he ought to be able 0:19:33.880 --> 0:19:36.240 to sleep at night without people standing outside screaming. And 0:19:36.359 --> 0:19:38.159 by the way, he didn't tell you who it is 0:19:38.200 --> 0:19:43.040 protesting him. It's not conservatives. It's crazy leftist, for whom 0:19:43.119 --> 0:19:47.120 Schumer is not crazy enough. That's the interesting thing. There's 0:19:47.119 --> 0:19:50.520 another Senator who I will not name, who protesters through 0:19:50.640 --> 0:19:54.280 a rock through their window that shattered and cut one 0:19:54.320 --> 0:19:58.639 of their children quite severely. From the shattering glass, we 0:19:58.800 --> 0:20:02.640 are going to see violets. I am very concerned that 0:20:02.680 --> 0:20:05.680 we may see violence directed at the Supreme Court, at 0:20:05.720 --> 0:20:10.840 these justices. This is the kind of extreme hatred and 0:20:11.119 --> 0:20:18.320 violence that the Democrats embrace if it favors their partisan ends. 0:20:18.440 --> 0:20:20.280 There is some good news. I mean, one, I think 0:20:20.280 --> 0:20:22.560 the reason they're doing this is because they're losing in 0:20:22.560 --> 0:20:25.240 the political arena and so they're getting desperate. But two, 0:20:25.840 --> 0:20:30.080 you also I felt to introduce a great bill on 0:20:30.520 --> 0:20:33.560 a completely different topic. But well not a completely different 0:20:33.560 --> 0:20:36.240 topic actually, because the bill you introduced was about my body, 0:20:36.320 --> 0:20:39.960 my choice. Namely, it was to give American service members 0:20:40.560 --> 0:20:43.600 to protect them from being punished for refusing to take 0:20:43.800 --> 0:20:47.200 the experimental COVID vaccines. Well, that's right. So the bill 0:20:47.240 --> 0:20:50.600 I introduced this week is a bill. It's called the 0:20:50.640 --> 0:20:57.520 Allowing Military Exemptions Recognizing Individual Concerns about New Shots Act 0:20:57.760 --> 0:21:03.000 or the Americans Act. Oh you you guys with your acronyms, 0:21:03.040 --> 0:21:05.040 that is the best acronym I've heard in a long 0:21:05.080 --> 0:21:08.639 time in legislature. Well, I'd like to claim credit. I can. 0:21:08.800 --> 0:21:11.119 It was the great, great guys on my team that 0:21:11.240 --> 0:21:13.119 came up with it. But I laughed out loud and 0:21:13.119 --> 0:21:17.120 said let's go with it and the bill. Thirteen other 0:21:17.160 --> 0:21:20.119 Senators joined being introducing it. And the bill is very simple. 0:21:20.400 --> 0:21:24.480 The bill would stop the military from firing soldiers and 0:21:24.520 --> 0:21:28.000 sailors and airmen and marines if they declined to take 0:21:28.040 --> 0:21:32.600 the COVID vaccine. We're seeing thousands of soldiers and sailors 0:21:32.640 --> 0:21:36.159 and airmen and marines and coast guardsmen and guardians threatened 0:21:36.720 --> 0:21:41.040 with being fired. We're seeing cadets at our service academies 0:21:41.400 --> 0:21:44.639 threatened with being thrown out. We're seeing people in the 0:21:44.720 --> 0:21:47.720 reserves being thrown out. It is grotesque, it is wrong, 0:21:47.760 --> 0:21:50.720 it is an abusive power. This bill says you can't 0:21:50.760 --> 0:21:54.000 throw anyone out because they decline to get a vaccine. 0:21:54.040 --> 0:21:57.200 It also says if someone has been thrown out, they 0:21:57.240 --> 0:22:00.480 can come back in if they want that. It's choice. 0:22:00.520 --> 0:22:02.800 If they want to come back in, they can do it. 0:22:02.840 --> 0:22:05.640 And if they choose not to come back in, if 0:22:05.680 --> 0:22:09.400 you have discharged them, it's something less than honorable discharge. 0:22:09.440 --> 0:22:13.359 That will adjust their discharge status to reflect their actual service. 0:22:13.400 --> 0:22:17.959 In other words, we shouldn't be weakening our ability to 0:22:17.960 --> 0:22:21.199 defend this nation, to keep this nation safe because of 0:22:21.240 --> 0:22:25.320 a political agenda from the left. It's your body, your choice. 0:22:25.320 --> 0:22:27.080 You ought to be able to decide whether or not 0:22:27.119 --> 0:22:30.120 to take the COVID vaccine. And this should be a 0:22:30.160 --> 0:22:34.080 simple common sense bill, which means, of course the Democrats 0:22:34.119 --> 0:22:37.400 are likely to oppose it party line. Of course, you'll 0:22:37.720 --> 0:22:40.439 notice there'll just be a one hour period where they 0:22:40.560 --> 0:22:42.960 stop chanting my body, my choice that as well, your 0:22:43.000 --> 0:22:45.680 bill is up for debate. Then after they'll of course 0:22:45.720 --> 0:22:47.600 go right back to it before we go as usual 0:22:47.640 --> 0:22:49.160 running late. I do want to get to a few 0:22:49.200 --> 0:22:52.520 mail back questions from our wonderful Verdict. At listeners you 0:22:52.560 --> 0:22:55.200
