1 00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:03,200 Speaker 1: Welcoming in his verdict with Senator Ted Cruz Ben Ferguson 2 00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:05,120 Speaker 1: with you. We've got a lot to chat about today, 3 00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:09,080 Speaker 1: including some breaking news with China and Iran, plus a 4 00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:13,440 Speaker 1: attack on judges coming from the Democrats, plus COVID vindication. 5 00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:16,439 Speaker 1: But first we're going to start with China. Senator. It 6 00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:19,440 Speaker 1: is many are concerned now that we may be on 7 00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:23,040 Speaker 1: the verge of this turning into a really big war 8 00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:27,560 Speaker 1: between Russia Ukraine. Some are referring to it as World 9 00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:30,520 Speaker 1: War three. The UK, we're being told, is going to 10 00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:36,519 Speaker 1: supply Ukraine with long range weapons. China is also giving Russia, 11 00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:41,240 Speaker 1: or being accused of giving Russia lethal support. You had 12 00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:45,080 Speaker 1: that question asked this morning to Anthony B. Lincoln on 13 00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:47,800 Speaker 1: Face the Nation, and I want everybody to hear what 14 00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:50,279 Speaker 1: he had to say and then your reaction. There is 15 00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:55,600 Speaker 1: open source reporting that Chinese companies are providing surveillance equipment 16 00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:59,600 Speaker 1: to that mercenary group, the Wagner group, fighting in Ukraine. 17 00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:04,880 Speaker 1: Does the US consider this to be providing military support 18 00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:08,760 Speaker 1: to Russia. We've been concerned from day one about about 19 00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:11,399 Speaker 1: that possibility. In fact, if you go back to the 20 00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:14,160 Speaker 1: very first conversations the President Biden President she had about 21 00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:16,800 Speaker 1: Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine. Just a couple of 22 00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:22,000 Speaker 1: weeks into the war, President Biden shared with President she 23 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:25,839 Speaker 1: are deep concerned about the possibility China would provide lethal 24 00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:30,640 Speaker 1: support to Russia, to Russia in this effort, as well 25 00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:33,600 Speaker 1: as engaging the systematic evasion of sanctions. And the reason 26 00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:36,680 Speaker 1: for that concern was just weeks before the aggression. You'll 27 00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:38,920 Speaker 1: remember the President and President Putin had a meeting in 28 00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:41,440 Speaker 1: which they just talked about a partnership with no limits, 29 00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:44,600 Speaker 1: I mean, Senator, a partnership with no limits. That obviously 30 00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:47,640 Speaker 1: something that would concern you. But now seeing that apparently 31 00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:52,040 Speaker 1: they're providing lethal aid to assist Russia's invasion of Ukraine, 32 00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:58,040 Speaker 1: your reaction, well. Number One, China is the most serious 33 00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:01,560 Speaker 1: geopolitical threat the United States faces for the next century, 34 00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:06,040 Speaker 1: and this administration is fundamentally weak on China. They are 35 00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:09,320 Speaker 1: soft on China. They are unwilling to stand up to 36 00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:13,840 Speaker 1: the Chinese communist government. Number Two, when it comes to 37 00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:18,520 Speaker 1: the war in Ukraine. From the beginning, President Biden's policy 38 00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:23,559 Speaker 1: has been utterly incoherent. He has been weak on Russia, 39 00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:27,639 Speaker 1: and he has been effectively funding both sides of the war, 40 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:33,920 Speaker 1: providing aid military aid to Ukraine, but also funding the 41 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,960 Speaker 1: people who in turn are funding Russia. You talk about 42 00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:41,600 Speaker 1: China right there. As you know, I forced to vote 43 00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:45,160 Speaker 1: on the floor of the Senate floor to enact a 44 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:50,400 Speaker 1: ban on the federal government purchasing electric vehicles or batteries 45 00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:57,519 Speaker 1: made using slave labor in concentration camps in China. Every 46 00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:01,600 Speaker 1: single Democrat but one, everyone but Joe Mansion voted. Now 47 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:06,639 Speaker 1: they all voted to keep importing electric cars electric batteries 48 00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:11,360 Speaker 1: made using slave labor. John Kerry's response, when asked about 49 00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:15,119 Speaker 1: the concentration camps and slave labor said, it's not my department. 50 00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,520 Speaker 1: He's not concerned with it, and so you have in 51 00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:22,720 Speaker 1: effect this administration. I would note also, and we've talked 52 00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:27,160 Speaker 1: a lot about this on the podcast, the Ukraine War 53 00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:32,239 Speaker 1: started because Biden waived the sanctions on Nordstream too. He 54 00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:36,960 Speaker 1: waived the sanctions on Russia. He waived the sanctions on 55 00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:42,560 Speaker 1: Putin and allowed Nordstream two to be built while Ukraine 56 00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:46,520 Speaker 1: and Poland were begging him, don't let this pipeline be completed. 57 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:50,360 Speaker 1: If you do, Russia will invade Ukraine. Will Biden ignored 58 00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,200 Speaker 1: it he went soft on Russia like he'd gone soft 59 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:56,440 Speaker 1: on China. And by the way, they're doing the exact 60 00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 1: same thing with Iran as well. They're lifting and waving 61 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:03,800 Speaker 1: sanctions on Iran, and so the Russians are using those 62 00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:10,640 Speaker 1: Iranian drones to kill Ukrainian citizens, and the Biden administration 63 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,400 Speaker 1: is literally funding every side of the war. They're funding 64 00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:19,200 Speaker 1: the Ukrainians, They're funding the Iranians by lifting sanctions on them, 65 00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:23,560 Speaker 1: They're funding the Chinese by buying electric cars and electric 66 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:28,000 Speaker 1: batteries from them. And it is that weakness and incoherence 67 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:32,560 Speaker 1: that makes this so incredibly dangerous. Anthony Blinkin was asked 68 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:36,680 Speaker 1: senator about the Iranian part of this and this this 69 00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:40,839 Speaker 1: was his response, and face the nation themselves. Iran is 70 00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:46,800 Speaker 1: also accused of providing more weaponry to Russia here, so 71 00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:52,240 Speaker 1: they are they are building an alliance. We've seen Iran 72 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:55,400 Speaker 1: provide drones that Russia is using in Ukraine to attack 73 00:04:55,720 --> 00:05:00,240 Speaker 1: civilian infrastructure, to kill civilians. This is something that's going 74 00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:03,760 Speaker 1: on for months. We've been working to expose that, to 75 00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:07,000 Speaker 1: take action against it, to sanction it. There's an increasingly 76 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:09,680 Speaker 1: noxious relationship between Russia and Iran and it's actually a 77 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:13,240 Speaker 1: two way street. Not only is Iran providing this equipment 78 00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:16,719 Speaker 1: to Russia, but Russia is also providing military equipment to Iran, 79 00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:22,800 Speaker 1: including it looks like sophisticated fighter planes. That's something that 80 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:26,479 Speaker 1: looks like it may be happening, which would make Iran 81 00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:29,360 Speaker 1: an even greater threat if it acquires that that technology. 82 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:32,160 Speaker 1: So this is something that we've been talking about with 83 00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:35,560 Speaker 1: allies and partners around the world. That relationship is a 84 00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:40,160 Speaker 1: growing concern. Senator. This reminds me so much of the 85 00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:43,520 Speaker 1: acts of evil after nine to eleven, when the President 86 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:47,559 Speaker 1: clearly went to Congress and talked about that acts of evil. 87 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:50,440 Speaker 1: Before I do, I gotta tell all of everyone listening 88 00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,320 Speaker 1: about our good friends.

All right, center, My question for you 111 00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:04,680 Speaker 1: first is you're now looking at Ran, Russia and China. 112 00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:08,560 Speaker 1: Is this a new axis? Well, look, they have been 113 00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:11,040 Speaker 1: our enemies for a long time. The fact that they're 114 00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:14,200 Speaker 1: working together much of that has to do with the 115 00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:19,240 Speaker 1: weakness and incoherence coming from Joe Biden. Biden, what he'll 116 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:22,559 Speaker 1: do is he'll occasionally have some tough rhetoric, but he's 117 00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:26,640 Speaker 1: got multiple other domestic political priorities that he cares more 118 00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:31,400 Speaker 1: about than actually following through and defending our national security. 119 00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:35,200 Speaker 1: So let's take a Ran for example. Biden came into 120 00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:38,800 Speaker 1: the White House with his number one foreign policy objective 121 00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:43,840 Speaker 1: being to re enter the Obama Iran nuclear deal, and 122 00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:47,440 Speaker 1: so from the very outset, he bent over backwards to 123 00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:51,960 Speaker 1: give Iran everything it wanted, even as the Iranian Ayatollah 124 00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:57,480 Speaker 1: leads chance of death to America and death to Israel. 125 00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:03,360 Speaker 1: Even as the Iranian government is funding terrorist activity. They 126 00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:08,400 Speaker 1: are the number one state sponsor of terrorism in the world. Nevertheless, 127 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:11,440 Speaker 1: the Biden White House decided they had a political objective, 128 00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:14,080 Speaker 1: and their political objective was to have a new Iran 129 00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:19,280 Speaker 1: nuclear deal, and so they immediately began lifting sanctions on Iran. 130 00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:23,840 Speaker 1: The most potent sanction is the oil sanctions that we 131 00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:27,560 Speaker 1: had in place. And actually, under President Trump, you'll recall, 132 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:32,120 Speaker 1: Trump pulled out of the Iran nuclear deal. That was 133 00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:34,240 Speaker 1: the right thing to do. It was something I urged 134 00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:38,640 Speaker 1: him to do. Trump did so over the recommendations of 135 00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,240 Speaker 1: both his own State Department and his own Defense Department. 136 00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:45,120 Speaker 1: Both the Secretary of State and the Secretary Defense advised 137 00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:48,440 Speaker 1: staying in the Iran deal. I made the case to 138 00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:52,320 Speaker 1: him that a nuclear Iran was an existential threat to 139 00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:55,480 Speaker 1: the United States and to Israel. Trump agreed with me, 140 00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:58,160 Speaker 1: he pulled out of the deal. Even after he pulled 141 00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:01,920 Speaker 1: out of the deal, however, whole series of waivers remained 142 00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:05,400 Speaker 1: in place that still gave a ran meaningful relief. And 143 00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:08,680 Speaker 1: the biggest one was there was an oil waiver that 144 00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:13,160 Speaker 1: allowed Iran to sell oil free of the sanctions. And 145 00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:17,280 Speaker 1: I made the case to the President that we needed 146 00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:19,840 Speaker 1: to end the oil waiver. In this case, the Secretary 147 00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:25,160 Speaker 1: of State was Mike Pompeo, and Secretary Pompeo argued, do 148 00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:27,959 Speaker 1: not end the oil waiver, that it will cause global 149 00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:32,720 Speaker 1: oil prices to go up. Once again, Trump overrode his 150 00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:35,440 Speaker 1: own State department. He agreed with me. He ended the 151 00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:39,199 Speaker 1: oil waiver. Turned out Energy was right, State was wrong. 152 00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:43,120 Speaker 1: The global price of oil didn't move barely at all. 153 00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:49,760 Speaker 1: And the effect was we cut off a million barrels 154 00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:54,040 Speaker 1: a day of oil sales to the Ayatola. What happened 155 00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:57,160 Speaker 1: when Joe Biden came back in, he stopped and forcing 156 00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:00,280 Speaker 1: the sanctions on oil. So the Ayatola is selling a 157 00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:05,600 Speaker 1: million barrels a day of oil. This to show the incoherence. 158 00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:08,680 Speaker 1: This is at the same time the Biden administration is 159 00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:13,600 Speaker 1: waging war on US oil and gas production. He's weight 160 00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:18,199 Speaker 1: effectively waving sanctions. He's refusing to enforce sanctions on Iran, 161 00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:22,080 Speaker 1: letting the Ayatola sell a million barrels of oil a day. 162 00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:25,560 Speaker 1: That money is being used, among other things, to fund 163 00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:31,880 Speaker 1: terrorism targeting Americans, and to fund drones that are being 164 00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:35,959 Speaker 1: used in Russia to kill Ukrainian soldiers in Ukrainian civilians. 165 00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:40,880 Speaker 1: It's incoherent. The answer is simple, enforce the sanctions on Iran, 166 00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:47,760 Speaker 1: reimpose the oil sanctions and the so called civilian nuclear waivers. 167 00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:51,200 Speaker 1: Use our economic force, and we should do the same 168 00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:55,240 Speaker 1: thing on China. We should not be buying the products 169 00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:58,440 Speaker 1: the fruits of their slave labor. But the Biden White 170 00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:02,320 Speaker 1: House doesn't want to actually be strong and consistent. Instead, 171 00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:06,600 Speaker 1: it's trying to appease domestic political constituencies. Class question on this, 172 00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:09,640 Speaker 1: at what point do you think this starts to hurt 173 00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:14,760 Speaker 1: the presence approval rating? Refusing to come out, for example, 174 00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:18,760 Speaker 1: and even say directly to China, stop flying these these 175 00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:22,200 Speaker 1: spy balloons over the United States of America, Stop you know, 176 00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:25,560 Speaker 1: sending these things up trying to come into our country 177 00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:28,080 Speaker 1: in our airspace. If he won't do that, do you 178 00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:30,199 Speaker 1: have any belief that it will actually do any of 179 00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:32,439 Speaker 1: these other things like Santa to China if they're involved 180 00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:36,040 Speaker 1: in this way with Russia. For two years as president, 181 00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:39,200 Speaker 1: Joe Biden has consistently shown us he will not be 182 00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:43,920 Speaker 1: strong standing up to China. The Democrat Party today they're 183 00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:48,200 Speaker 1: structurally pro China. The people who fund them, big business, 184 00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:55,520 Speaker 1: big tech, big Hollywood, the big universities, they're all in 185 00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:58,320 Speaker 1: bed with China. You look at the Penn Biden Center 186 00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:04,520 Speaker 1: funded by communist China. They're the people writing the checks 187 00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:07,880 Speaker 1: are communist China. Where did Hunter Biden go to get 188 00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:12,120 Speaker 1: make millions of dollars selling access to daddy communist China? 189 00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:16,920 Speaker 1: That is why the Democrat Party is unwilling to stand up. 190 00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:19,400 Speaker 1: And then you put the on top of that, Joe 191 00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:25,000 Speaker 1: Biden just structurally believes in appeasement. He's unwilling to stand 192 00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:27,800 Speaker 1: up to our enemies. He began his presidency by giving 193 00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:30,920 Speaker 1: Putin everything he wanted and giving China everything it wanted. 194 00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:33,680 Speaker 1: And you know what, our enemies got the message and 195 00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:37,040 Speaker 1: all of them are more aggressive as a result. No 196 00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:39,200 Speaker 1: doubt about it. I want to move to another issue 197 00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:42,120 Speaker 1: that also is a very important issue.

That's a 222 00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:18,480 Speaker 1: very important issue, and this deals with intimidation of judges. 223 00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:21,240 Speaker 1: We saw this get too, I think a new low 224 00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:25,840 Speaker 1: when Democrats were doxing the home addresses of judges, trying 225 00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:30,120 Speaker 1: to stop the overturning of Rov Wade, the releasing of 226 00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:33,840 Speaker 1: those internal documents from the Supreme Court so that we 227 00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:35,920 Speaker 1: knew the decision was coming, so that there could be 228 00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:39,760 Speaker 1: pressure on the conservative justices. And now there are two 229 00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:43,880 Speaker 1: different opinion articles out there. Well, let me say, one 230 00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:46,520 Speaker 1: opinion article and another one coming from one of your colleagues, 231 00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:50,880 Speaker 1: Senator widen At a vile attack on the federal judiciary. 232 00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:53,240 Speaker 1: This on top of the way the Washington Post put 233 00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:55,480 Speaker 1: it their opinion pieces quote, there is one way to 234 00:14:55,520 --> 00:15:00,720 Speaker 1: reign in Republican judges. Shame them. And all, by the way, 235 00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:04,280 Speaker 1: was almos assassinated. And the DJ has made zero arrests 236 00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:07,760 Speaker 1: related the protests outside of the judges homes outside, this 237 00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:11,800 Speaker 1: would be assassin. Basically, they said, everybody else, you're good 238 00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:15,560 Speaker 1: to go. And we still don't know who leaked this 239 00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:20,640 Speaker 1: decision from the Supreme Court, which is very shocking to 240 00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:23,800 Speaker 1: me and everybody else, knowing what level of government was 241 00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:28,600 Speaker 1: supposed to be involved in finding that leaker. Well, it 242 00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:31,160 Speaker 1: is dismaying because we seem to have reached a new 243 00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:34,840 Speaker 1: chapter where the Democrats have escalated their attacks on the 244 00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:39,400 Speaker 1: judiciary and listen. For some time, the Democrats have been 245 00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:42,680 Speaker 1: willing to use violence and threats of violence to try 246 00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:47,520 Speaker 1: to intimidate people into giving into their political agenda. That 247 00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:50,200 Speaker 1: was true in twenty twenty and the so called Summer 248 00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:53,280 Speaker 1: of Love when you had Antifa and Black Lives Matter 249 00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:57,320 Speaker 1: riots all over the city, where you had the far 250 00:15:57,440 --> 00:16:00,960 Speaker 1: left more than happy to use the threat of violence, 251 00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:05,560 Speaker 1: of rioting, of fire bombing, of looting, of murder to 252 00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:10,520 Speaker 1: try to intimidate people into going along with their political agenda. 253 00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:13,480 Speaker 1: When it comes to the courts, we saw, in particular 254 00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:17,800 Speaker 1: with the Supreme Court decision overturning Roe, that the left 255 00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:22,640 Speaker 1: responded with violence. They responded with angry and aggressive protests 256 00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:26,440 Speaker 1: at the home of the justices. These are justices sometimes 257 00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:30,600 Speaker 1: who have children, even small children. When you have angry 258 00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:33,840 Speaker 1: protesters at a home with small children, there is a 259 00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:37,320 Speaker 1: threat of violence in the air. It's also a federal crime. 260 00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:39,440 Speaker 1: There is a federal statue that makes it a crime 261 00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:42,760 Speaker 1: to go to a justice's home and protest at the home. 262 00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:47,160 Speaker 1: The Biden Department of Justice refuses to enforce that law. 263 00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:51,360 Speaker 1: They simply what, won't do anything about it? Why because 264 00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:55,240 Speaker 1: they are quite happy they agree with the threats the 265 00:16:55,320 --> 00:17:01,120 Speaker 1: intimidation directed at the justices. Chuck Schumer stood on the floor, 266 00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:04,040 Speaker 1: or rather on the steps of the Supreme Court and 267 00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:09,199 Speaker 1: threatened to unleash the whirlwind, to use his language in 268 00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:12,159 Speaker 1: an effort to threaten the justices to rule how he 269 00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:17,760 Speaker 1: wanted in the case concerning Row. Now, what we've seen 270 00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:21,080 Speaker 1: in the past week is two things. Number One, we 271 00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:23,560 Speaker 1: saw in the Senate floor Senator Ron Wide and out 272 00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:28,360 Speaker 1: of Oregon give a really vicious speech attacking a federal 273 00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:34,080 Speaker 1: district judge in Texas, Matthew Kesmarik. Now, this speech was 274 00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:37,080 Speaker 1: directed at Judge Kesmark not for a ruling he's made, 275 00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:41,000 Speaker 1: but rather because the Democrats are afraid he's going to 276 00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:43,359 Speaker 1: make a ruling they don't like. And in particular, he 277 00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:48,080 Speaker 1: has a case before it that deals with the legality 278 00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:51,600 Speaker 1: of abortion drugs and the legality of how the FDA 279 00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:54,960 Speaker 1: allowed them, and the left is concerned that he is 280 00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:59,600 Speaker 1: going to rule against them, and so what they're trying 281 00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:04,199 Speaker 1: to do is intimidate the judge and demonize the judge. So, 282 00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:09,040 Speaker 1: for example, Widen on the floor said this about Judge 283 00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:13,000 Speaker 1: Kasmaric quote. This judge is not upholding the oath he took. 284 00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:16,000 Speaker 1: He is not adhering to the Constitution. He is making 285 00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:20,280 Speaker 1: a dangerous mockery of the rule of law. Something needs 286 00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:23,000 Speaker 1: to be done about it. Now that something needs to 287 00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:26,120 Speaker 1: be done about it is an invitation. It is an 288 00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:30,000 Speaker 1: invitation harassment. It may even be an invitation to violence. 289 00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:33,679 Speaker 1: We know at least one leftist heard the invitation to 290 00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:38,560 Speaker 1: violence and traveled from California to Bethesda, Maryland, in an 291 00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:42,240 Speaker 1: effort to murder Justice Kavanaugh. He was apprehended with weapons 292 00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:46,320 Speaker 1: late at night outside Justice Kavanaugh's house. By the way, 293 00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:50,040 Speaker 1: Widen didn't direct his attack just to one judge, judge 294 00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:53,040 Speaker 1: who hasn't even ruled in the case yet. He also 295 00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:55,879 Speaker 1: went ahead and impugned the integrity of the rest of 296 00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:58,280 Speaker 1: the judicial system. Here's what Widen went on to say. 297 00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:02,000 Speaker 1: The Fifth Circuit, which is the Court of Appeals that covers, 298 00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:05,160 Speaker 1: among other things, Texas. The Fifth Circuit, which has little 299 00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:07,600 Speaker 1: respect for precedent or the authority of the other two 300 00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:12,520 Speaker 1: branches of government, will almost certainly uphold his ruling. Then 301 00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:15,600 Speaker 1: the Roberts Court will almost certainly leave the ruling in 302 00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:20,120 Speaker 1: place through the long and arduous appellate process. So let's 303 00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:24,280 Speaker 1: be clear. This is now a calculated and direct attacked 304 00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:27,800 Speaker 1: attack on the judiciary on every level of the judiciary, 305 00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:30,879 Speaker 1: on federal district judges, on the Courts of Appeals, on 306 00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:35,359 Speaker 1: the Supreme Court, and it is coming in a concerted matter. 307 00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:39,080 Speaker 1: Widened speech occurred at the same time as a big 308 00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:43,240 Speaker 1: op ed in the Washington Post, again arguing for harassing 309 00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:48,320 Speaker 1: and going after judges. This is dangerous. It's not only dangerous. 310 00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:51,119 Speaker 1: Is it fair to call it on precedent to have 311 00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:53,320 Speaker 1: someone do this type of attack from the Senate? For 312 00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:56,840 Speaker 1: I mean, I understand if you're outside playing politics on 313 00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:59,240 Speaker 1: the Senate fo to do this, was this shocking to 314 00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:03,520 Speaker 1: many members of that body? Well, I don't know that 315 00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:06,119 Speaker 1: much of anything shocks us anymore. It look, it is 316 00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:10,240 Speaker 1: not unusual for elected officials to disagree with the court's 317 00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:13,119 Speaker 1: ruling and to denounce a ruling after the fact that happens, 318 00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:18,600 Speaker 1: and that happens on both sides. It is unusual for 319 00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:22,439 Speaker 1: politicians to do it before the court decides, in a 320 00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:26,240 Speaker 1: manner that seems calculated to try to threaten and intimidate 321 00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:31,560 Speaker 1: the judiciary. You know, I mentioned what Chuck Schumer said 322 00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:33,840 Speaker 1: on the steps of the Supreme Court. He said, quote, 323 00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:37,800 Speaker 1: I want to tell you Gorsuch. I want to tell 324 00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:43,000 Speaker 1: you Kavanaugh, you have released the whirlwind and you will 325 00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:47,120 Speaker 1: pay the price. You won't know what hit you if 326 00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:51,640 Speaker 1: you go forward with these awful decisions and ben Look, 327 00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:54,119 Speaker 1: one of the things that is unique about our nation 328 00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:59,440 Speaker 1: is that we have an independent judiciary that is by 329 00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:03,400 Speaker 1: designs not political, that is supposed to follow the law, 330 00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:10,399 Speaker 1: follow the constitution. Most countries the judiciary is steeped in politics, 331 00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:14,280 Speaker 1: and many countries the judiciary is political. It is corrupt. 332 00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:20,480 Speaker 1: And one of the most fundamental protectors of our liberty 333 00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:24,679 Speaker 1: is that we have a judiciary that doesn't respond to 334 00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:27,159 Speaker 1: the passions of the moment, doesn't respond to the mob, 335 00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:30,760 Speaker 1: but instead is faithful to the law. These democrats in 336 00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:34,639 Speaker 1: a concerted way are trying to intimidate and tear down 337 00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:37,800 Speaker 1: that judiciary. Yeah, no doubt about. It's a great point, 338 00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:40,000 Speaker 1: and they're not going to stop, I think, anytime soon, 339 00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:43,359 Speaker 1: which is also concerning.

Immunity acquired from a COVID infection 374 00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:47,240 Speaker 1: is as protective as vaccination against severe illness and death. 375 00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:50,879 Speaker 1: A new study finds I'm waiting for doctor Fouce you 376 00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:54,600 Speaker 1: to have a press conference apologizing to everybody your thoughts 377 00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:57,920 Speaker 1: on the fact.

George Orwell and Nights eighty four talked about 379 00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:03,600 Speaker 1: how facts could be altered. Where at war with Eurasia? 380 00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:06,680 Speaker 1: We have always been at war with Eurasia, simply stated 381 00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:09,640 Speaker 1: in the corrupt media parrots it along. That's what they're 382 00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:13,240 Speaker 1: doing here. Of course, natural immunity is potent, and in 383 00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:16,720 Speaker 1: many instances more potent than the vaccine. That's true of 384 00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:20,480 Speaker 1: most diseases. That was true and obvious early on in COVID. 385 00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:24,280 Speaker 1: But if you said it, you got blocked on social media, 386 00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:27,280 Speaker 1: you got silenced on social media, and if you actually 387 00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:30,480 Speaker 1: lived by it, you got fired.

The Biden 392 00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:49,639 Speaker 1: administration needs to hire them back. We have huge manpower 393 00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:54,520 Speaker 1: shortages across the military, and these imbeciles have fired trained 394 00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:59,399 Speaker 1: navy seals, experienced officers.
