Chris Christy would like to answer your question. 40 00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:39,120 Speaker 2: Donald Trump calls me hurtful names like Krispy Kreme Christy 41 00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:45,480 Speaker 2: or the outlaw Jersey Whale. He also said that my 42 00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:51,560 Speaker 2: size makes me handy, capable, handy, capable of bankrupting the 43 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:52,679 Speaker 2: golden crop. 44 00:02:52,480 --> 00:03:06,920 Speaker 1: Because shall know them wif Chris Christy wanted to criticize 45 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:13,240 Speaker 1: one person and claim they are unfit for duty, choosing 46 00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:20,640 Speaker 1: Robert F. Kennedy for Health and Juan Services that's up 47 00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:22,560 Speaker 1: there with closing down the bridge on the way to 48 00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:28,560 Speaker 1: New York not a good decision, or the fourteenth Twinkie 49 00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:34,960 Speaker 1: of the night not a good decision. Chris State Representative 50 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:38,680 Speaker 1: Brian Harrison posted a video showing a professor at Texas 51 00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:43,160 Speaker 1: A and M University ordering a student to leave class 52 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:50,280 Speaker 1: supposed to be an educational environment. The teacher, the professor 53 00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:57,120 Speaker 1: has lost their way leave class because she raised religious 54 00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:05,600 Speaker 1: and legal concerns about exposing children to transgenderism. The President 55 00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,480 Speaker 1: Texas A and M Mark Walsh the Third directed his 56 00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:14,520 Speaker 1: provost to remove a dean and a department head from 57 00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:20,920 Speaker 1: their administrative positions due to the video. So the video 58 00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:26,120 Speaker 1: allowed what happened to be exposed. So for all of 59 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:30,000 Speaker 1: you who said, yes, yes, we want to take away 60 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:33,680 Speaker 1: the phones out of the schools in Texas, and the 61 00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:39,719 Speaker 1: legislature did because the kids are on their phone during 62 00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:44,440 Speaker 1: instructional time. They're on their phone during educational time, and 63 00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:47,680 Speaker 1: we just generally don't like to see kids on their 64 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:51,719 Speaker 1: phone all the time. It's irritating. It's one of those 65 00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:53,560 Speaker 1: things that if we're asked or kids on their phone 66 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:55,720 Speaker 1: too much, we all so, yes, they're on their phone. 67 00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:59,400 Speaker 1: Too much. We don't like it. Everybody's on their phone 68 00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:03,839 Speaker 1: all the time. If you if you're in a public place, 69 00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:10,760 Speaker 1: you're walking and someone wanders into your your lane because 70 00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:13,720 Speaker 1: they're on the phone. As is on my phone. People 71 00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:17,240 Speaker 1: are driving, they're on their phone. You watch them at 72 00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:20,120 Speaker 1: dinner at the table next to you. They're not talking 73 00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:22,440 Speaker 1: to each other, they're on their phone. So there's just 74 00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:30,800 Speaker 1: generally just an unpleasant feeling about people being on their phones. Okay, 75 00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:35,920 Speaker 1: so when a measure comes up, Hey, let's make it 76 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:38,560 Speaker 1: so you can't be on your phone if you own 77 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:42,080 Speaker 1: a business that makes over one hundred million dollars. Oh, 78 00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:45,840 Speaker 1: I hate rich people and on their phone people. Yes, 79 00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:48,160 Speaker 1: you can't be on your phone if you make over 80 00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:53,320 Speaker 1: one hundred million dollars. So we end up with things 81 00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:58,120 Speaker 1: happening for the best of intentions that you could see 82 00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:03,839 Speaker 1: coming that turn out to be worse than the problem 83 00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:10,200 Speaker 1: they solved. At my kids' school, I was interested a 84 00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:13,840 Speaker 1: couple of years ago when you do the parent teacher 85 00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:15,960 Speaker 1: night where you get to go and you go through 86 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,359 Speaker 1: each twenty of your kids classes and you go through, 87 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:22,240 Speaker 1: you know, you meet the teacher and they give you 88 00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:25,760 Speaker 1: their theory on how they're going to teach. And first 89 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:27,960 Speaker 1: thing I noticed, and this was two or three years ago, 90 00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:31,840 Speaker 1: was that as you went into each class, there was 91 00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:34,320 Speaker 1: again you know how some women will have on the 92 00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:39,080 Speaker 1: back door of their closet door, they'll have all those 93 00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:44,040 Speaker 1: things where they hang shoes in them, they have pouches. Well, 94 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:48,120 Speaker 1: they had these at the door, and when the students 95 00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:51,760 Speaker 1: walked into the classroom, they dropped the phone in the pouch. 96 00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:54,640 Speaker 1: And so I asked a couple of the teachers. I 97 00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,600 Speaker 1: was curious, Hey, this is a new policy. I like it. 98 00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:02,200 Speaker 1: What do you think of it? And they were talking about, 99 00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:05,000 Speaker 1: you know, why they were doing that and what was 100 00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:12,480 Speaker 1: going on. But it's very interesting that there is a 101 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:15,440 Speaker 1: kind of a dichotomy there, because I don't believe the 102 00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:21,640 Speaker 1: kids should be during the class hour on their phone 103 00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:27,080 Speaker 1: during instructional time. But I don't believe that former state 104 00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:33,040 Speaker 1: Representative Jasmine Crockett should be making laws for Kingwood High 105 00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:37,440 Speaker 1: School or Memorial High School when she every two years 106 00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:41,520 Speaker 1: would spend a few months in Austin. I don't think 107 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:45,800 Speaker 1: that we need Sylvester Turner deciding the rules for your kids' 108 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:51,360 Speaker 1: school in Corpus Christy. I think that's ridiculous. And that's 109 00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:54,840 Speaker 1: where we go wrong, is the idea that we start 110 00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:57,640 Speaker 1: focusing on. Yeah, you know, kids, you use the phone 111 00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:00,560 Speaker 1: too much these days. And then you get some measure 112 00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:02,200 Speaker 1: that comes up as a law. 113 00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:03,040 Speaker 4: Yeah, do that. 114 00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:08,520 Speaker 1: Well, that's not how you solve problems. You don't solve 115 00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:13,240 Speaker 1: problems by state legislators meeting every other year in Austin 116 00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:16,560 Speaker 1: writing a law. But that's where we are. We're going 117 00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:18,880 Speaker 1: to focus on what happened in Texas. A and M 118 00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,320 Speaker 1: with his student being kicked out and just a moment 119 00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:25,360 Speaker 1: your tax dollars at war closing time, when you're listening 120 00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:38,080 Speaker 1: to the Michael Berry Show. Soul singer Luther Simmons of 121 00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:42,320 Speaker 1: the main Ingredient born on this day. It was their 122 00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:47,800 Speaker 1: nineteen seventy two hit that Aaron Neville would later, of 123 00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:51,920 Speaker 1: course do a h oh, he's not South Korean? Why 124 00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:59,040 Speaker 1: do he? Oh? Soule singer? Okay, all right, really, okay, 125 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:09,520 Speaker 1: So let's talk about what's happening at our universities. The 126 00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:19,000 Speaker 1: university is funded largely by state and then federal tax dollars. 127 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:26,160 Speaker 1: Only a very small percentage of university revenues come from tuition. Now, 128 00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:32,600 Speaker 1: you might be a parent saying as I would as 129 00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:37,120 Speaker 1: I say this, man, if you're getting all that money 130 00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:42,880 Speaker 1: with all those students, as much as I'm paying, how 131 00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:47,080 Speaker 1: much other money are you getting? Because you're getting a 132 00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:56,280 Speaker 1: lot of money. The university today has become a booming industry, 133 00:09:56,400 --> 00:10:01,320 Speaker 1: and it is, let's be clear, an industry. If there 134 00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:06,959 Speaker 1: is any educational institutional component that remains out of the experience, 135 00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:12,920 Speaker 1: I assure you it's unintentional. This is a business like 136 00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:20,199 Speaker 1: you would not believe. The dorms. Oh and we're not 137 00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:25,920 Speaker 1: just old fashioned dorms anymore. No, no, no, there are 138 00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:30,439 Speaker 1: varying levels of luxury, the likes of which you haven't 139 00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:33,360 Speaker 1: been back to a university campus in a long time, 140 00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:37,760 Speaker 1: will shock you. You would live there, You would be 141 00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:40,480 Speaker 1: happy to live there. This is in the old days 142 00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:44,120 Speaker 1: of the dorm where there's two of you in an 143 00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:47,600 Speaker 1: open space that if you laid crossways you could and 144 00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:51,400 Speaker 1: stretched out you could touch from end to end in 145 00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:54,320 Speaker 1: two cots that looked like you were in an old 146 00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:59,719 Speaker 1: insane asylum. Oh no, no, no, no, these have amenities. 147 00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:03,800 Speaker 1: They have a coffee bar inside their own mail boxes, 148 00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:07,720 Speaker 1: there's a nail salon. I mean, these are high end 149 00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:14,280 Speaker 1: book boutique hotels. They are fancy, and everything about the 150 00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:17,800 Speaker 1: experiences fancy. Want parking, Okay, here's what that's gonna be. 151 00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:23,200 Speaker 1: Wait for parking. And don't even get me going on 152 00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:30,079 Speaker 1: the football experience, the football experience and the tickets. My goodness, 153 00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:34,040 Speaker 1: you cannot believe it. And then you've got fraternities and 154 00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:39,120 Speaker 1: sororities and other types of social clubs in activities and 155 00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:46,160 Speaker 1: recreation and it is all a massive business. It's not 156 00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:51,760 Speaker 1: education at all. Well, it's probably more experiential than educational 157 00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:59,840 Speaker 1: in that sense. The thought of the engagement from faculty 158 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:06,679 Speaker 1: his student, and that age old socratic process that's gone. 159 00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:10,720 Speaker 1: That is gone. It is pay us a bunch of money, 160 00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:20,040 Speaker 1: have a good time, and leave with a certificate that 161 00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:26,200 Speaker 1: you hope somebody responds to. The problem with all of 162 00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:32,760 Speaker 1: that is that the the marketplace doesn't respond the way 163 00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:35,960 Speaker 1: it used to the college degree. Let me get these 164 00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:37,960 Speaker 1: two audio bits in and we'll talk more about that. 165 00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:40,400 Speaker 1: This is a text a m student questioning the professor 166 00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:45,720 Speaker 1: who was teaching transgenderism. It's awful audio quality, our folks. 167 00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:47,560 Speaker 1: Jim Mud has done the best. He couldn't boost it, 168 00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:49,200 Speaker 1: but we know it's bad audio. 169 00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:55,640 Speaker 5: Can you explain to me how how teaching us about 170 00:12:55,679 --> 00:13:02,560 Speaker 5: gender identity and transgenderism and. 171 00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:05,400 Speaker 1: And that there's more sex is huh, my gender is 172 00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:09,959 Speaker 1: illegal gender? What do you mean your gender is not illegal? 173 00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:13,560 Speaker 1: According to President Trump's executive order it if you want 174 00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:15,760 Speaker 1: me to read the paragraph and that order itself. 175 00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:21,160 Speaker 5: Really that you are a little saw you yes, and 176 00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:23,920 Speaker 5: you love and that it is you need to talk 177 00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:27,760 Speaker 5: to the department or the head of Well, I've already 178 00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:30,000 Speaker 5: been in contact with the president of VANE and I 179 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,000 Speaker 5: actually have a meeting with him in person to show 180 00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:34,280 Speaker 5: all of my documentation tomorrow. 181 00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:38,240 Speaker 1: But we're also aware of the start of law and 182 00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:38,959 Speaker 1: the number. 183 00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:45,959 Speaker 6: Yes, I'm not us that more effectively and stopping me 184 00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:55,280 Speaker 6: to teachings the lives because already have legal and actuality. 185 00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:05,200 Speaker 1: So don't question the teacher who's really more about the 186 00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:09,680 Speaker 1: performative art of coming out. And you know, we're seeing 187 00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:12,640 Speaker 1: this in classrooms around the country. You have people who 188 00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:15,960 Speaker 1: are teaching, but they're not interested in teaching. What they're 189 00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:21,240 Speaker 1: interested in is exploring their own sexuality in a public 190 00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:24,600 Speaker 1: place by cosplaying as the opposite sex. Laura Ingram and 191 00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:25,960 Speaker 1: Charlie Kirk discussing the matter. 192 00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:29,720 Speaker 7: At Texas A and M. Charlie, I know you've spoken there. 193 00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:32,480 Speaker 7: Everyone knows. I have a daughter there at Texas A 194 00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:35,360 Speaker 7: and M. I love the school. But a student was 195 00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:40,800 Speaker 7: apparently kicked out of class after objecting to transgender studies there. 196 00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:45,360 Speaker 5: Watch this according to President Trump's executive order. If you 197 00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:47,640 Speaker 5: want me to read the paragraph and not order itself, 198 00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:49,080 Speaker 5: not you know if you. 199 00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:51,000 Speaker 1: Are on your. 200 00:14:53,160 --> 00:15:02,800 Speaker 7: Pole, Aaron, Texas A and M President Mark Welsh told 201 00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:05,240 Speaker 7: the Angle in a statement, indoctrination of any kind is 202 00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:07,160 Speaker 7: not a practice at A and M and will not 203 00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:11,520 Speaker 7: be tolerated. This summer's children's literature course contained content that 204 00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:15,360 Speaker 7: did not align with any reasonable expectation of standard curriculum 205 00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:20,960 Speaker 7: for the course. Your reaction, Charlie. 206 00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:23,120 Speaker 8: That sounds like a lot of legalies. I don't know 207 00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:25,480 Speaker 8: what the heck that means. But look, we need to 208 00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:27,720 Speaker 8: keep the pressure on these universities while young people are 209 00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:29,640 Speaker 8: moving dramatically to the right. I see this on my 210 00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:33,240 Speaker 8: college campus tour, which is kicking off again on Wednesday 211 00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:36,360 Speaker 8: in Utah. These universities themselves, the institutions, they are not 212 00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:37,480 Speaker 8: adapting the way they should. 213 00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:40,800 Speaker 1: No matter this is nicky gilly and you're listen to 214 00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:52,200 Speaker 1: the seas Are Radio Michael Berry. Gender dystory yet is 215 00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:58,640 Speaker 1: the term that the clinical term that was used for 216 00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:04,040 Speaker 1: a number of years and is still accurate scientifically for 217 00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:13,080 Speaker 1: the uncertainty as to one's gender or sex. But it's 218 00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:17,280 Speaker 1: so much more than that, is feeling confusion and uncertainty 219 00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:25,200 Speaker 1: about one's own body, and gender dysphoria, up until relatively recently, 220 00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:32,080 Speaker 1: was considered by the American Psychiatric Association comprised of psychiatrists, 221 00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:43,680 Speaker 1: to be a mental disorder. Now you can offhandedly say 222 00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:49,880 Speaker 1: gender dysphoria is a mental disorder, and it gives you 223 00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:57,080 Speaker 1: in a discussion the high ground. Let's say your kid's 224 00:16:57,160 --> 00:17:00,800 Speaker 1: teacher is a man dressed as a woman, and you 225 00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:04,880 Speaker 1: go marching to school and say, I don't want this 226 00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:09,720 Speaker 1: type of person teaching my kid about their lifestyle, and 227 00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:13,000 Speaker 1: the principal says, ah, what the heck? And you said, no, no, no, no, 228 00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:18,600 Speaker 1: this is a disorder. This is a problem. It is scientifically, 229 00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:24,840 Speaker 1: clinically medically a problem has been diagnosed as such. So 230 00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:30,280 Speaker 1: if you want to ensure that this will proliferate through 231 00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:36,240 Speaker 1: the schools, what do you do? You infiltrate that organization? 232 00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:43,440 Speaker 1: You change that designation. In fact, you change that designation 233 00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:47,560 Speaker 1: to give a blanket, well, initially a tacit and eventually 234 00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:54,880 Speaker 1: a full throated endorsement for this sort of thing. Now 235 00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:58,800 Speaker 1: you can't say I don't want a person teaching that 236 00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:03,000 Speaker 1: lifestyle to my children and trying to recruit and groom 237 00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:07,359 Speaker 1: my children into that. Well why not would you mind 238 00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:10,680 Speaker 1: if the teacher encouraged your child to be an astronaut 239 00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:13,840 Speaker 1: or an engineer, a lawyer, or a doctor. Well, I 240 00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:18,000 Speaker 1: don't think those are the same thing. Well, now that's 241 00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:23,239 Speaker 1: what we've done. One of the great advances, and the 242 00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:27,639 Speaker 1: beauty of the left is for us to react. We 243 00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:32,240 Speaker 1: have to react in this almost spastic outburst, because we 244 00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:35,600 Speaker 1: have to snap everything back, because they have so insinuated 245 00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:42,879 Speaker 1: themselves into every sinew of life, every aspect of life, 246 00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:46,120 Speaker 1: and so for us to wake up, we go, wait 247 00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:50,240 Speaker 1: a second, we've this thing. They've just been slowly but surely, 248 00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:54,440 Speaker 1: like termites, just eating away at the foundation, eating away 249 00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:58,360 Speaker 1: at the framework of this whole thing. And you've seen 250 00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:01,520 Speaker 1: them do it in so many ways. I had a 251 00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:04,600 Speaker 1: law school professor named Leno Grauia, and he was a 252 00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:06,800 Speaker 1: mentor of mine, and I had a great deal of 253 00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:14,280 Speaker 1: respect for Professor Grawia. He was nominated by President Reagan 254 00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:19,440 Speaker 1: on the same day. In nineteen eighty six, Reagan named 255 00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:25,680 Speaker 1: two Italian Americans that was the big move to federal courtships. 256 00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:29,280 Speaker 1: One was to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, that 257 00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:32,880 Speaker 1: was Professor Gawia. The other was to the United States 258 00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:38,280 Speaker 1: Supreme Court. The thought was that Scalia would be the 259 00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:42,320 Speaker 1: more controversial of the two, so we'll put Grauia up 260 00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:45,119 Speaker 1: first and get him in at the Fifth Circuit, and 261 00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:50,800 Speaker 1: then we'll battle for Scalia. Well, it turns out the 262 00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:55,680 Speaker 1: left did not like Leno Grauia, and he was way 263 00:19:55,760 --> 00:20:00,520 Speaker 1: more troublesome to them than antonin Scalia or what they 264 00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:05,480 Speaker 1: did is the American Bar Association is something that every 265 00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:08,800 Speaker 1: lawyer over the years would be a member of. Nobody 266 00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:11,399 Speaker 1: did anything with it. It was kind of useless. It 267 00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:15,600 Speaker 1: was sort of a loose association, and it would loosely 268 00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:21,760 Speaker 1: represent uh, legal them ramon, that's my new term, legal them. 269 00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:27,000 Speaker 1: It would it would represent the world, the American Society 270 00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:30,560 Speaker 1: of Lawyers, so to speak, the a B a American 271 00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:34,200 Speaker 1: Bar Association, and they would be asked as a kind 272 00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:39,439 Speaker 1: of a polite impromoter to stamp on the recommendation for 273 00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:45,119 Speaker 1: any presidential nomination to a bench, a federal bench. Remember 274 00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:48,199 Speaker 1: it's nominated by the president and confirmed by the Senate. 275 00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:53,919 Speaker 1: And they would always, you know, a cursory review, and 276 00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:55,800 Speaker 1: they say, oh, yes, yes, it looks good, Yes, it 277 00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:58,560 Speaker 1: looks good, and that you know that that way, there'd 278 00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:02,520 Speaker 1: been some sort of vetting by the lawyers for this 279 00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:06,720 Speaker 1: sort of thing. Okay. Well, then all of a sudden 280 00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:11,240 Speaker 1: in nineteen eighty six, that organization that again the left 281 00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:14,639 Speaker 1: had done this with psychiatry, They had done this in 282 00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:18,280 Speaker 1: so many different ways, Hollywood, all of a sudden you 283 00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:23,040 Speaker 1: started noticing that all of your public institutions had changed, 284 00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:27,640 Speaker 1: and everyone woke up and didn't realize they've been working 285 00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:31,240 Speaker 1: on this thing. They have stacked the deck on this, 286 00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:38,760 Speaker 1: and that's the moment you realize, wow, okay, I didn't 287 00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:42,000 Speaker 1: know that y'all had been working behind the scenes. So 288 00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:46,400 Speaker 1: the ABA, for the first time in its long history, 289 00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:53,720 Speaker 1: comes out with a public statement that Leno Groya is 290 00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:59,000 Speaker 1: not fit to serve on the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. Well, 291 00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:04,199 Speaker 1: that's interesting because he's been for a decade and a 292 00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:08,159 Speaker 1: half an esteemed faculty member at the University of Texas 293 00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:10,800 Speaker 1: School of Law, one of the finest legal institutions in 294 00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:14,720 Speaker 1: the country. That's interesting because he's been asked to speak 295 00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:19,200 Speaker 1: across the country by the Federalist Society and any other 296 00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:23,960 Speaker 1: sort of organization. He's written the book on conlaw that 297 00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:28,400 Speaker 1: every student at the University of Texas studies. But he's 298 00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:33,199 Speaker 1: not fit with the role of the judiciary is to 299 00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:38,199 Speaker 1: determine the application of the Constitution to laws and actions 300 00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:42,399 Speaker 1: of the Executive and Congress. And one of the most 301 00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:47,240 Speaker 1: esteemed constitutional law professors in the country is deemed unworthy. 302 00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:52,080 Speaker 1: It makes you start to wonder, perhaps he's not being 303 00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:57,679 Speaker 1: measured on his understanding of the Constitution when he's the 304 00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:01,960 Speaker 1: fact that taught. He's the professor who taught a number 305 00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:05,040 Speaker 1: of those people who are now in the ABA and 306 00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:10,959 Speaker 1: a number of people on the Bench. Conlaw itself, it 307 00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:15,280 Speaker 1: was never historically supposed to be the role of the 308 00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:21,160 Speaker 1: Senate to determine whether we like how a judge rules. 309 00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:23,840 Speaker 1: It was supposed to be the case that we only 310 00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:28,840 Speaker 1: adjudge why they rule, and as long as they can 311 00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:32,199 Speaker 1: point to a good legal precedent and good legal theory. 312 00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:37,359 Speaker 1: It was understood that we would disagree on matters of 313 00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:41,879 Speaker 1: the application of the law or the constitutionality of statutes. 314 00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:46,760 Speaker 1: But now all of a sudden, the ABA decided you 315 00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:50,760 Speaker 1: couldn't argue that the man didn't know conlaw. He literally 316 00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:57,680 Speaker 1: wrote the book. Literally, he taught the class people's understanding 317 00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:03,840 Speaker 1: of conlaw, including mine, shaped by Leno Graula. So how 318 00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:07,399 Speaker 1: are you going to say that he can't serve on 319 00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:11,280 Speaker 1: the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. Well, we don't like him. 320 00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:17,439 Speaker 1: He's racist, he's mean. There we go again, There we 321 00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:20,080 Speaker 1: go again. Once we call someone racist, we can wipe 322 00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:27,119 Speaker 1: out their entire career. Michael Berry's show, He Knocked My 323 00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:34,600 Speaker 1: Face On That was added later seventy four years ago. Today, 324 00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:41,320 Speaker 1: Tom Wopap, He's the other of the Duke Boys, was born. 325 00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:47,199 Speaker 1: He was an actor and a singer. His singing always 326 00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:51,439 Speaker 1: made me feel uncomfortable, kind of like the first moment 327 00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:55,800 Speaker 1: you realized Jim Nabors was gay, and you like, oh 328 00:24:55,840 --> 00:25:00,240 Speaker 1: you knew gay? Oh yeah, yeah, he's he's gay. And 329 00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:05,560 Speaker 1: then they go, hey, you remember Gomer, Yeah, I remember Gomer? 330 00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:11,040 Speaker 1: Remember Gomer Paul Yeah yeah.

I'm going 395 00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:27,760 Speaker 1: to go back to the beginning of that and just 396 00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:32,040 Speaker 1: let's leave Tom Willpat out for a moment, because he's 397 00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:34,360 Speaker 1: kind of like John Paunch and John nobody ever, kind 398 00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:36,280 Speaker 1: of really at the end of the kind of he 399 00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:38,840 Speaker 1: kind of tanto you know when he's there, you know 400 00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:42,000 Speaker 1: his name in case you get him on Jeopardy. But 401 00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:44,080 Speaker 1: but I want you to notice the glory of the 402 00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:48,480 Speaker 1: very subtle harmonica version of just a good old Boy. 403 00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:55,840 Speaker 1: And then Waylon Jennings as the narrator, just the all knowing, 404 00:29:56,160 --> 00:30:00,720 Speaker 1: kind of smirking, tongue in cheek narrator, which is kind 405 00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:04,480 Speaker 1: of outside his traditional skill set or experience, and how 406 00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:09,120 Speaker 1: perfect it was. We forget how good Whalan was, how 407 00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:12,600 Speaker 1: important he was to set the narrative to you know 408 00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:14,760 Speaker 1: what them duke boys are just about to do. Just 409 00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:15,640 Speaker 1: play that part again. 410 00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:20,400 Speaker 9: Now you might recognize the historical significance of this a 411 00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:23,680 Speaker 9: little building by the familiar sign there on the door. 412 00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:34,360 Speaker 1: It's perfect a self described queer activist attorney. That was 413 00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:37,719 Speaker 1: a pivot, wasn't it. We went to Dukes of Hazard 414 00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:43,400 Speaker 1: to self described queer activist attorney and admitted former supporter 415 00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:48,280 Speaker 1: of La Comandante Lena Idaigo has filed a report with 416 00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:53,640 Speaker 1: the Texas Department of Family Protective Services after the Comandante 417 00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:58,120 Speaker 1: brought dozens of children to Commissioner's court last month to 418 00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:02,440 Speaker 1: push for her tax height. That attorney says, I just 419 00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:05,960 Speaker 1: imagine that those kids, at least some of them, were 420 00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:08,960 Speaker 1: in foster care, and that made me really concern for 421 00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:12,000 Speaker 1: how they were brought into this kind of situation. It 422 00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:15,200 Speaker 1: didn't seem appropriate for a field trip or anything like that. 423 00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:19,800 Speaker 1: It just seemed like a chaotic political stunt. You remember 424 00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:24,160 Speaker 1: what happened. She brought the kids down, and she needed 425 00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:28,000 Speaker 1: three votes to get her little to get more cash 426 00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:30,600 Speaker 1: for her purposes. So she said, I can count the 427 00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:32,560 Speaker 1: three kids. Can you count the three? I've got one. 428 00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:34,080 Speaker 1: I've got ride in the yellows because I do it. 429 00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:35,840 Speaker 1: He says that there's two of us, and who will 430 00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:37,440 Speaker 1: be the third? Oh, they won't be the third, because 431 00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:41,800 Speaker 1: they mean old people. She's trotting. According to this, foster 432 00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:46,080 Speaker 1: kids down as little pet props.
