Supreme Court Justices Ketanji Brown-Jackson and Amy Barrett are the latest in a long line of Supreme Court nominees who have been rejected by the Obama administration. What does that mean for the future of the Supreme Court?
00:10:36.560And and really, President Trump giving a command performance up there at this press conference.
00:10:42.720And so when you really look at it, Joe Biden, remember one year ago.
00:10:47.160So I think I saw the stat last night that one year ago today was the day that Joe Biden essentially torched himself in terms of his credibility up on the national stage with President Trump at that debate.
00:11:00.700So that was today, one year ago, we had a president when we all realized the entire country saw on the debate stage that Joe Biden was absolutely mentally incompetent.
00:11:13.600And after that debate, that's when it was determined that he could no longer be president.
00:11:20.740That's when the wheels started moving into motion.
00:11:22.660That's when people started moving in under to understand that he would no longer be the candidate, that that Kamala Harris would be the one who is pushing forward.
00:11:34.340I've talked about the history here on this program.
00:11:36.440So compare and contrast President Trump today with that command performance that he gave at the press conference all by himself, just standing up there, no notes, right?
00:11:47.880No notes and he sits up there and he's able to go through case by case by case.
00:12:00.100He understands what the challenges are.
00:12:01.500He even understands, in many cases, the opposing argument and is willing to make those arguments.
00:12:07.560And he's going back and forth with the press corps.
00:12:09.360He actually knows the issues better than the press corps themselves.
00:12:14.100So you got that on one side, one hand, and then on the other hand, you had this guy who was so mentally incompetent that he was letting an auto pen do the job for him.
00:12:29.020Don't tell me that that guy who was up on the debate stage a year ago today was actually making decisions, was actually nominating Supreme Court justices, was actually signing those pardons.
00:12:47.360And Ketanji Brown Jackson, these cases that she's making, and we were going to pull the actual dissent, and you can see quotes from it as well that are out there that are just ridiculous.
00:12:59.280And she's using catchwords and buzz phrases from, they feel like they're from morning talk shows, the things that she's saying that she's trying to put into the legal record.
00:13:10.860She points out, and others, you know, Amy Coney Barrett pointed out, the things that she's saying, that she's arguing, have not been used by the Supreme Court at all in American history.
00:13:26.260And by the way, this goes to a broader point that I've been talking about for quite some time now, that billions of dollars have been spent in terms of propaganda, in terms of academia, scholarship, bad scholarship, whatever you want to call it, to make you forget or make you not know what our actual history is.
00:13:47.060The actual history of our country, the actual history of the United States, the 18th century, the 19th century, and then the 20th century.
00:16:32.720So according to Military Watch Magazine, there's an estimate that between 60 and 80 interceptors were utilized during the conflict.
00:16:41.480This is terminal high altitude area defense.
00:16:44.380The THAAD missiles are operated by U.S. Army.
00:16:46.440So because of this, each one, according to this estimate, cost between $12 to $15 million, meaning the cost of those interceptors used sits between $810 million on the low end and at the high end cost $1.2 billion.
00:17:07.140The U.S. Army has seven THAAD systems set up in five air defense regiments, with an eighth set set to be operational by the end of this year.
00:17:17.100The Wall Street Journal reported earlier in June that the United States had restocked the THAAD system set up in Israel in 2024.
00:17:23.980So this is a situation where I think that those of us who have been skeptical of the United States getting involved into wider conflicts, this is exactly what we were talking about.
00:17:39.920We were saying that as conservatives, look, we don't always want, I should say this, as conservatives, we live in reality.
00:17:48.300So in reality, we understand that there are definite limits and concrete truths that we have to focus on.
00:17:57.080And one of those limits in reality is scarcity.
00:18:00.020And the understanding of scarcity means that we don't live in an unlimited world.
00:18:03.920And as it turns out, boys and girls, we don't have unlimited ammo for our air defense.
00:18:13.400And when the United States splits its air defense away from places like Ukraine, away from places like Israel, away from places like South Korea and areas where they could be helped with or Taiwan, you know, from that theater, right?
00:18:27.460These are all things that affect the force and affect our own national security.
00:18:33.040So that's 800 to a billion, 800 million to a billion dollars that's now gone.
00:18:42.160And understand that one of the pieces here that a lot of people need to talk about is this is where the military industrial complex argument comes in.
00:18:50.060They say, well, we love this because, look, every time there's a war, boom, ka-ching, ka-ching, ka-ching.
00:18:56.980If you're Raytheon, if you're one of the companies that funds these things, oh, my gosh, you love it.
00:19:02.780If you're going up against the Houthis, when the Houthis are shooting at you and you got to fire off some of those from the U.S. Navy, there's SM-2, there's SM-3, the SM-6s, the air defense missiles.
00:19:12.960They love it because that means that every time they're fired, the United States government has to buy more to backfill the ones that were spent, to backfill the ordinance.
00:19:27.320This, by the way, is something that our adversaries know very well.
00:19:31.820So for Iran, for China, for Russia, they understand that if we can't beat U.S. technology in a one-to-one scenario, well, maybe you don't have to.
00:19:43.580Maybe you can just overwhelm it because they don't have so many.
00:19:46.620We don't have as many of these things as we'd like to have.
00:22:01.280It's at least beating the heat wave that we've had going on.
00:22:05.600We were trying to do a little bit of a fire pit out last night for myself and Tanya Tay and the boys, and we were going to watch The Rocketeer, and we had the fire going, and then, boom, the storm just kind of came crashing in.
00:22:17.500I thought maybe it was The Rocketeer who was coming in, but no, no, it was a storm, so we had to run inside and finish the film.
00:22:23.980But you've got to love movies like that, old 90s movies with heart, when movies actually had such a thing.
00:22:29.560Someone else who's got a lot of heart is the great Terry Schilling, the president of the American Principles Project.
00:22:37.460Excuse me, the American Priorities Project.
00:22:49.900Terry, walk us through some of these cases over the last few days.
00:22:53.580I mean, just an absolute, from Planned Parenthood to this case out of Maryland where they allow students, allow parents to pull students out of LGBTQ.
00:23:08.340X, Y, Z, L, M, N, O, P, Z, Y, X, W, V, U, T, S, R, Q, P, O, N, M, L, K, J, H, D, F, E, D, C, V, A.
00:23:14.580But I want to know, I want to know what a huge victory this is for the American people and for conservative organizations like yourselves.
00:23:24.180Well, again, thanks so much for having me, Jack.
00:23:27.700I've always been a huge fan of yours from day one.
00:23:31.120Listen, I would say the American family is 3-0 this Supreme Court term.
00:23:37.080We had a huge victory with the Scrimetti case just about two weeks ago, or I'm sorry, last week, where the Supreme Court upheld the right of states to protect children from gender transition procedures.
00:23:49.820But today, Mahmood versus Taylor rules that parents have a right to opt their children out of sexually charged curriculum and programs in schools.
00:24:01.540But on top of that, parents have the right to know about it, right?
00:24:06.180At the heart of this case, the government activists, the anti-family activists that are in so many of our government-run schools,
00:24:14.060were essentially arguing that not only do parents not have the right to opt their children out of these sexually charged programs in schools,
00:24:23.080but they don't even have the right to know about it, right?
00:24:26.160They are trying to keep this stuff from parents.
00:24:29.000And it's just absolutely insane, Jack.
00:24:30.820Not only can parents constitutionally protect their children, parents must protect their children from sexually charged content.
00:24:41.280And if you're a parent that doesn't protect your children from sexually charged content, and these books are graphic.
00:24:47.380I just want to assure you, you open up those books and you read some of the passages.
00:24:51.300Jack, you and I couldn't read them without laughing in front of our friends, but our mothers would be blushing and absolutely appalled by the content in these books.
00:25:02.400But these are, and then I will say, Jack, I just got those out there.
00:25:05.480Supreme Court gave us another victory today.
00:25:07.480We had two major victories for the family in the Free Speech Coalition versus Paxton.
00:25:12.480The Supreme Court ruled that states have the right to pass age verification when it comes to porn sites online to protect children.
00:25:19.420So I'm saying this term, the American family is 3-0, and we need to keep that momentum going.
00:25:26.040And this is incredible because, by the way, Terry, you know what we should do is, the next scorecard you guys should point out is the Supreme Court justices who have children and the way that they voted on the parents' issues.
00:25:44.340Uh-oh, we're getting in trouble now, but you know what, fine, we're getting in all sorts of trouble today.
00:25:49.420But we can because that's what we do when we take a W.
00:25:51.700But this actually is a huge issue, I think, for a lot of politicians when they say, oh, well, it's better if the children view things this way.
00:25:59.460And to your point, though, if you're someone who doesn't have children, if you're someone who just looks as children, as young, you know, young creatures to be molded by the state, then you wouldn't have any problem with this whatsoever.
00:26:14.620But if you have your own children, it is something that fundamentally changes you.
00:26:19.380And by the way, I'm not knocking people who don't have kids.
00:26:23.120I'm just saying that when you are a leader of a society, it is very important for you to make those decisions because you understand the reverberations and the consequences for forthcoming generations.
00:26:37.680And the way that you raise kids is a huge part of that.
00:26:44.180And listen, we hear all the time from these identitarians who are, you know, you can't pass this law without the, you know, the black community.
00:26:52.100They're all about identity, except when it comes to the family, except when you have your own children.
00:26:57.040That's the only time where you, you know, according to the left, if you have your own children, that's the only time where you have no say over what those children can learn.
00:27:51.820Well, and by the way, you know, a lot of people point out, too, as well, for these, you know, these act, these types of activists, that this is the way in which their ideology is reproduced because they don't end up having kids of their own.
00:28:03.820So they've got to reproduce through ideology.
00:28:06.640They've got to import their ideology into young children and increasingly younger and younger.
00:28:13.140And they view this as their role in society.
00:28:15.860This part, by the way, actually, Terry, let me let me throw you a curveball on this, because I just saw that Senator Slocken out of Michigan was saying something earlier today regarding K to 12.
00:28:27.600And I threw I threw out, you know, my comment on social media and it got it's related to this and it got, you know, started this fierce debate.
00:28:37.120So it's sort of our question of the day.
00:28:56.180However, however, what about for teachers that are introducing stuff in like this in the classroom, teachers that are being political, teachers that are teaching sexually charged, you know, agendas in the classroom going far beyond.
00:29:11.600This was actually one of the silver linings of covid because we were able to finally the parents were finally able to look over their kid's shoulder to see what the teacher was teaching on those Zoom classes.
00:29:24.480It's actually kind of an interesting question.
00:29:26.660How do you hold teachers accountable without having the phone?
00:29:30.760Well, so, listen, I I'm really kind of torn on it because I definitely would have been one of the kids sneaking my phone into school and recording my teacher to hold them accountable.
00:29:41.200Right. I mean, at the end of the day, if your government officials won't do anything, if your city council won't do anything, law enforcement do anything, well, then it's kind of in our hands to protect ourselves.
00:29:51.080I do. I will say, Jack, I have been on an anti-tech terror recently.
00:29:58.420My family and I, we just spent a week in Wyoming right outside of Cody and we had no reception, none.
00:30:05.520And it was the best week we've had as a family in quite some time.
00:30:08.800We climbed mountains. We rode horses through rivers.
00:30:12.100I mean, we get so disconnected from the real world.
00:30:15.600I would like to ban cell phones almost for everyone in this world because it is it is so distracting.
00:30:21.860And you'd be surprised at how much work your cell phone actually is for you and how much of a burden it really, truly is at the end of the day.
00:30:29.640It was it was it was shocking how tough it was to go back to civilization and just to get back up and get caught up with all the messages.
00:30:37.080We are constantly inundated by being contacted by people.
00:30:40.820And most of the time, it's complete strangers.
00:30:42.860We've never even met in our entire life.
00:30:46.200Well, no, and by the way, you know, too, it's it's and I do this on on Sundays or sort of my my my either.
00:30:53.220I call my low tech day now at this point, my low connectivity day.
00:30:56.380I try to be off my phone as much as possible.
00:30:58.600During Lent, I was doing no cell phone at all on Sundays or at least no social media or texting.
00:31:03.540Right. You know, you could, you know, look up directions or something like that.
00:31:06.640That'd be fine. But, you know, it's it's takes up way too much of your time and it it ends up it ends up taking away your it distracts you from things that are in front of your face.
00:31:17.260Like to your point, family or just connecting with your loved ones or whatever it is that you might actually also be doing.
00:31:25.080And that's, you know, this low tech environment.
00:31:28.220By the way, I'd be remiss if I hadn't mentioned that another APP priority that you guys have been fighting for for a while also passed at the Supreme Court.
00:31:36.220And that was regarding pornographic websites and saying that states can actually regulate on the basis of age for that.
00:31:44.800So essentially, we're up to 23 states now that have passed age verification.
00:31:51.000And what this does is it says to porn companies, hey, before you deliver obscene and violent and disgusting content to anyone, you have to verify that they're actually 21.
00:32:01.420We've been trying so hard to protect minors from pornography online, at least since 1997, which is essentially the advent of the Internet.
00:32:08.260That's where the Communications Decency Act comes in.
00:32:11.220But the Supreme Court has been striking down all of these proposals to rein in the porn industry until today.
00:32:18.220Today is a beautiful day because those 23 states that passed age verification to protect minors from porn online, they were vindicated.
00:32:26.340It's constitutional to mandate that porn companies who make billions of dollars a year must require or must be required to verify the age of users prior to giving them content.
00:33:05.000So now what we need to do, Jack, is we need to get some federal legislation passed to protect minors all across the country.
00:33:11.320There's no reason why children in California should not be protected by pornography just because they have a horrific and terrible and embarrassing governor like Gavin Newsom.
00:36:30.600He asked her a question, and the question he called on her, the question Kara asked, he said, I asked about the 2020 election and being stalled and all this.
00:36:41.260And he goes, that's a very good question.
00:36:54.120Yeah, I watched the whole thing live, and I'm sitting there, and I could recognize the voice, but the feed that I was watching, we didn't, you know, the way that it was, you know, it was obviously on the president, so we could always, it didn't cut to the other shot.
00:37:08.740And I said, wait a minute, I recognize that voice, I think.
00:38:30.500To celebrate, we are doing, and this is an exclusive, Jack, for you, the percale sheets, the high thread count percale sheets came in a week ago.
00:38:40.540We only have so many, and there they are.
