00:01:19.000 That's why we are here.
00:01:22.000 Hey, everybody.
00:01:23.000 Welcome to this episode of the Charlie Kirk Show.
00:01:25.000 I am joined today by Mike Davis, head of the Article 3 Project, A3P for short.
00:01:31.000 He was intimately involved in the last couple of Supreme Court nomination fights with Justice Brett Kavanaugh and Justice Neil Gorsuch.
00:01:39.000 And if those two fights were any indicator, my goodness, this next one is going to be even more.
00:01:44.000 Mike, welcome to the Charlie Kirk Show.
00:01:47.000 Thanks for having me on, Charlie.
00:01:49.000 Great.
00:01:49.000 So can you tell us just first of all about your experience in Supreme Court fights, how nasty the other side can be, the lengths that they're willing to go to?
00:01:59.000 What are some of the big lessons from the Gorsuch and Kavanaugh fight that we can learn from and apply to confirming Judge Amy Coney Barrett?
00:02:09.000 Yeah, so I've worked on the last four confirmation fights for Republican presidents.
00:02:14.000 I worked on the Robertson Alito confirmations when I worked in the Bush 43 White House.
00:02:20.000 I helped lead the Gorsuch confirmation fight as his top outside advisor during his confirmation.
00:02:28.000 He called me the general.
00:02:30.000 And then I went to work on the Senate Judiciary Committee last Congress for my former boss and home state senator from Iowa, Chuck Brassley, the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee last Congress.
00:02:42.000 And that's where I was the staff leader for the fight to confirm Justice Kavanaugh.
00:02:48.000 And I would say this, if you thought that Justice Kavanaugh's confirmation fight was ugly, just wait till this one.
00:02:57.000 It's going to make Justice Kavanaugh's look like a walk in the park.
00:03:01.000 And we're already starting to see that with the attacks against Judge Amy Coney Barrett, a superb Supreme Court nominee and her family with her seven children, five of them biological kids, one with Down syndrome, two of them adopted competing.
00:03:18.000 We're already seeing the vicious attacks against Judge Barrett and her family.
00:03:23.000 Yeah, Dr. Ibram X. Kendi said that Amy Coney Barrett and her family are white colonizers for adopting Haitian children.
00:03:33.000 He was named one of the top Time 100 people, and he is also very close with a lot of people in mainstream Democrat politics.
00:03:42.000 In fact, Jack Dorsey from Twitter donated to him.
00:03:44.000 So that kind of goes to show just some of the attacks that they're already going after with Judge Barrett.
00:03:49.000 Can you tell us more about Judge Barrett's interpretation of the Constitution?
00:03:52.000 What is her guiding philosophy?
00:03:54.000 And what do you think makes her an exceptional choice to fill this Supreme Court vacancy? 1.00
00:04:00.000 Yeah, so Judge Amy Coney Barrett is right out of central casting for the Supreme Courts. 0.95
00:04:06.000 Like I said, when I was the staff leader for nominations on the Senate Judiciary Committee last Congress, we actually handled her confirmation then for the Seventh Circuit.
00:04:15.000 This was over three years ago.
00:04:17.000 And what you're getting with a Judge Barrett is someone who has been a, she went to Notre Dame law school, where she graduated number one in her class.
00:04:26.000 She served as the executive editor of the law review.
00:04:30.000 She has been a Notre Dame, actually after law school, she clerked for two very prestigious judges, including the late great Justice Antonin Scalia on the Supreme Court, where she was schooled in the judicial philosophies of textualism and originalism.
00:04:46.000 What that means is that as a judge, you follow what the law actually says, the text, and what that law means to the, what that law meant to the public when that text was written.
00:04:57.000 So there is a fixed meaning to the law.
00:05:00.000 And so you don't have these liberal judicial activists coming in and rewriting the law based upon their policy preferences. 0.76
00:05:06.000 So she clerked for Justice Scalia, and then she went on.
00:05:09.000 She's been a Notre Dame law professor for the last 18 years.
00:05:12.000 She's still a Notre Dame law professor, even as a Seventh Circuit judge.
00:05:16.000 At Notre Dame, she was widely renowned by faculty and students alike.
00:05:21.000 And we're seeing these with the letters of support and the other testimonials for her.
00:05:25.000 She is a top scholar, a leading professor, very well liked and respected.
00:05:31.000 And she is no doubt a conservative jurist who understands that a judge's modest but critical role is to follow the law, not rewrite the law.
00:05:42.000 And she understands that federal judges are the last line of defense when we have, that protects all Americans from mob rule and government overreach.
00:05:52.000 She is a phenomenal pick by President Trump for the Supreme Court.
00:05:56.000 Can you contrast her philosophy that she'd bring to the court to that of Sotomayor or Kagan, that it's kind of this revisionist way of viewing the law, very activist, if you will.
00:06:08.000 Can you kind of detail for our listeners that are younger, that are new to these Supreme Court fights, why it is so important to have an originalist view, a constitutionalist view?
00:06:19.000 Even Antonin Scalia said he made decisions, and I'm paraphrasing here, that he knew was the right interpretation of the law, but he didn't actually agree with what he knew the consequences would be.
00:06:31.000 I'm paraphrasing and you would be able to fill that in better, but you have to abide strictly to what the text says.
00:06:36.000 Can you build out those differences more for some of our younger listeners that are new to these kind of Supreme Court fights?
00:06:43.000 Yeah, this is critically important.
00:06:44.000 It goes to our founding as a country.
00:06:49.000 Our founding fathers escaped tyranny.
00:06:51.000 They came here because of religious persecution, other tyranny to America.
00:06:56.000 And they were very skeptical of centralized government power because they know that centralized government power leads to tyranny.
00:07:04.000 When power is in too few hands, it leads to tyranny.
00:07:07.000 And so what they did is divided power among the three branches of government.
00:07:11.000 The Congress writes the laws.
00:07:14.000 The executive branch, Article 2, enforces the laws.
00:07:18.000 And Article 3, which is supposed to be the least powerful, the least dangerous branch, is the one that interprets the laws.
00:07:24.000 And then they also divided power between the federal government and the states and the people.
00:07:29.000 So if the Constitution, think about our Constitution as a loan agreement.
00:07:33.000 We, the people, loan the federal government power through this Constitution.
00:07:37.000 And in exchange for our loaning of them of this power, they need to protect us.
00:07:42.000 They need to protect our liberty, protect us from mob rule, protect us from government overreach.
00:07:46.000 And so what is so important is that these government actors understand their proper role in our constitutional system and stay within their lanes, right?
00:07:56.000 And that's what a conservative judge does.
00:07:58.000 They understand that they have a very limited but critical role, and that is to interpret the law as written and understood by the people at the time of its enactment, textualism in the region.
00:08:10.000 Compare that to Democrats, Democrat-appointed judges who are liberal judicial activists.
00:08:15.000 They see that the acquisition of power is the ends in itself, that they want to, Democrats seek power just for the sake of having power, right?
00:08:27.000 And so you appoint these judges, these liberal activist judges on the court who will ignore the law, rewrite the law, do whatever it takes to get to that ultimate end, which is to give Democrats more power.
00:08:40.000 And it's just, it's a wrong judicial philosophy because it leads to tyranny.
00:08:45.000 It leads to instances like we're seeing right now where Judge Emmett Sullivan, a Clinton appointed judge on the district court in D.C., is persecuting General Michael Flynn, a good man, a four-star general, and persecuting him, even after the federal government, and it's their decision that the executive branch has decided not to pursue charges against General Michael Flynn based upon the Obama-Biden made-up collusion against him,
00:09:13.000 the false charges that were brought against Michael Flynn.
00:09:16.000 This Democrat appointed judge, this Obama, or excuse me, this Clinton appointed judge on the DC district court is abusing his power.
00:09:25.000 And that's being litigated right now.
00:09:27.000 But it is so dangerous when you give judges too much power because if judges have this power, they can take away your rights for young people, for people on college campuses.
00:09:36.000 I went to a liberal school.
00:09:37.000 I went to the University of Iowa.
00:09:38.000 It's a state school.
00:09:39.000 So we had First Amendment rights there.
00:09:41.000 And I was glad that we did because I did things that were controversial as a conservative.
00:09:45.000 And I needed those First Amendment protections from faculty members, from school administrators who would have loved to have thrown me off campus.
00:09:52.000 It is so important that we have judges who follow the law without fear of favor.
00:10:00.000 I want to tell you guys about Good Ranchers.
00:10:02.000 Are you hungry?
00:10:03.000 And if you are hungry, that's okay.

00:10:07.000 Instead, get something that tastes good.

00:10:13.000 It's 100% American-born, raised, and harvested meat, and they delivered it to families across America.

00:11:15.000 That's really well said.
00:11:16.000 And it's supposed to protect the rights of the minority.
00:11:19.000 It's supposed to protect the rights of those that might have dissenting opinion, which actually, if you look throughout American history, the rights of the minority actually ends up being on the right of truth and the right side of the argument, but you must protect that right of expression.
00:11:34.000 And, you know, as Dr. Larry Arn from Hillsdale said so well, there are two ways to govern human beings.
00:11:41.000 The first of which is by persuasion, speaking, and talking.
00:11:44.000 The second of which is by force.
00:11:46.000 I actually kind of like that division. 1.00
00:11:47.000 I mean, it's probably overly simplified, but it's really true.
00:11:51.000 And if you do not have the capacity to be able to speak or to disagree or to get in a marketplace and sort out your differences, I should say, a commonplace where you're able to sort out your differences, then you're going to descend into force.
00:12:03.000 And what we have seen, and I would love your thought on this, and it's very interesting.
00:12:07.000 As America was more conservative in the 1960s and 70s, the court was actually more liberal.
00:12:13.000 I think that the court was misaligned to the American kind of political identity back in the 60s and 70s, the Warren Court and the Burger Court in particular.
00:12:23.000 Now we are seeing as America in some ways has become more left or more leftist, at least in certain states, which are predominantly populated states.
00:12:32.000 I still think we're a center-right country in electoral college, you know, in an electoral college sense.
00:12:38.000 The court actually has a chance to become more conservative.
00:12:42.000 How is it that conservatives have been able to make these phenomenal gains?
00:12:46.000 I don't like to use that word conservative.
00:12:47.000 Let's just say constitutionalists.
00:12:49.000 How is it that constitutionalists have been able to make such significant gains when the country's actually, in some ways, become more culturally liberal?
00:12:58.000 I think that President Trump has been a driving factor for this transformation.
00:13:03.000 We saw when President Trump, then candidate Trump, ran for office in 2016, he promised that he would appoint justices and judges in the mold of the late great Justice Galia.
00:13:15.000 Judges who, and I think you're exactly right, Charlie, about calling them constitutionalists as opposed to conservatives, because you know what?
00:13:22.000 It's not our job.
00:13:23.000 It's not the job of a judge to get to a liberal result, and it's not the job of a judge to get to a conservative result.
00:13:30.000 It's their job to follow the law wherever it leads it.
00:13:33.000 If it is a liberal law, then it's the job of the judge to apply that liberal law and let the chips follow it where they may.
00:13:41.000 We do not want to legitimize judicial activism on either side.
00:13:45.000 And President Trump, if you go look, so I run the Article 3 project, article number3project.org.
00:13:51.000 And as part of what we have on our website, we have a feature on there called judiciarytracker.com, judiciarytracker.com.
00:13:59.000 And it shows you where the judiciary stood when President Trump was inaugurated, and it shows you where the judiciary stands now.
00:14:07.000 And what you're seeing with President Trump, he has delivered on his promise to the American people that he would transform the federal judiciary with constitutionalist, originalist, textureless judges in the mold of Justice Galia.
00:14:20.000 If you look at the Supreme Court, he solidified a Republican-appointed majority on the Supreme Court with the appointments of Justice Gorsuch and Justice Kavmaugh.
00:14:30.000 He's about to transform the Supreme Court from the five to four John Roberts courts to the six to three Clarence Thomas courts with the appointments of Judge Amy Coney Barrett from the Seventh Circuit.
00:14:44.000 If you look at the critically important federal courts of appeals, there are, these are courts, these are the courts of appeals that divide up federal appeals across the country.
00:14:53.000 And there are 13 federal courts, I'm sorry, 12 federal courts of appeals around the country, the first through the 11th plus the DC Circuit.
00:15:03.000 And they divide up, again, they divide up all the appeals around the country based upon region, and they are the last stop for the appeals in more than 99% of cases because the Supreme Court largely has discretionary review, meaning the Supreme Court gets to decide what cases they take and decide what cases they don't take.
00:15:22.000 And they only take about, they only decide to take about 100 cases a year.
00:15:26.000 It's not a heavy workload because they're deciding the most important cases that we face, the most controversial cases that we face.
00:15:32.000 And the courts of appeals are the last stop.
00:15:34.000 They are critically important.
00:15:36.000 Of these 12 circuits, President Trump has flipped the second, third, and 11th from majority Democrat appointed to majority Republican appointed in less than four years.
00:15:50.000 On the Ninth Circuit, the liberal out-of-whack Ninth Circuit, as it's called, the 29th seat out-of-whack Ninth Circus, President Trump, when President Trump started, there were 11 more Democrat-appointed judges than Republicans.
00:16:05.000 That is down to just three.
00:16:07.000 And when President Trump wins re-election, he could do something that was unthinkable for a Republican president, and that has flipped the Ninth Circuit along with flipping every circuit in this country, all 12 regional circuits in this country, to majority Republican appointed.
00:16:23.000 This is what's so important about this.
00:16:24.000 President Trump's judges are not your typical, you know, country club Republican judges.
00:16:29.000 These are true constitutionalist originalist judges who aren't going to limp out.
00:16:37.000 I'm going to be really direct with you.
00:16:39.000 If your cellular plan is Verizon 18 to your T-Mobile, you are simply paying way too much for the exact same coverage you'd be getting right now with PeerTalk.
00:16:47.000 Look at your cell phone bill where it shows data usage.
00:16:50.000 The average person who switches to PeerTalk is using less than four gigs of data a month, but the big carriers are charging you for unlimited data.
00:16:58.000 It's like paying for an entire row of an airplane, but only needing one seat.
00:17:01.000 That's how PeerTalk saves the average person over $400 a year on their wireless service.
00:17:06.000 Unlimited talk, text, and two gigs of data, all for just $20 a month.
00:17:10.000 And if you go over on data usage, they don't charge you for it.
00:17:13.000 People are switching to PeerTalk in massive numbers.
00:17:15.000 It's a grassroots movement and an easy decision that you'll make today.
00:17:19.000 Grab your mobile phone and dial pound 250 and say, Charlie Kirk.
00:17:22.000 When you do, you'll say 50% off your first month dial pound 250 and say the keyword Charlie Kirk.
00:17:27.000 Peer talk, simply smarter, wireless.
00:17:34.000 It's such an important point.
00:17:36.000 And for any of the people out there that might not like Trump's tone or style, these results are incredible.
00:17:41.000 I mean, a reshaping of the federal judiciary back to constitutional roots is absolutely transformational.
00:17:49.000 And you look at what Hillary Clinton would have done versus what Donald Trump has done on the court.
00:17:54.000 I mean, three justices in four years.
00:17:57.000 That has to be some kind of record in the modern era.
00:17:59.000 I mean, you know the history better than I do.
00:18:02.000 But I know Obama got two initiatives.
00:18:05.000 Six Nixon.
00:18:07.000 It's the most since Nixon.
00:18:08.000 Yeah.
00:18:08.000 And Obama got two, and he nominated a third, Merrick Garland, which did not transpire.
00:18:14.000 It's absolutely incredible to see how the president has reshaped the judiciary.
00:18:19.000 So can you walk us through the process of advise and consent?
00:18:24.000 So it says in the Constitution clearly, the president makes the selection to fill a vacancy.
00:18:29.000 The United States Senate then goes through advise and consent.
00:18:33.000 Senator Mitch McConnell has been phenomenal in his courage and his conviction.
00:18:39.000 I am a critic of Senator McConnell on certain things, but I will praise him when he says I will not bail out states.
00:18:44.000 I will not fund mail-in voting and confirm Amy Coney Barrett.
00:18:48.000 He is a hero for what he's doing to fill this seat.
00:18:50.000 What is the, what is, for people out there that just kind of casually watch politics, what is the process?
00:18:55.000 And also, can you just give us a little behind the scenes look?
00:18:57.000 What's the kind of homework that goes into it?
00:18:59.000 The kind of studying, the preparation, the gotcha questions you've been through with Gorsuch and Kavanaugh.
00:19:05.000 What can we expect?
00:19:06.000 And what's kind of some of the inside baseball that viewers don't always see?
00:19:11.000 Yeah, so I have unique experience here because I've worked on Supreme Court nominations from the White House, the Justice Department, from a Supreme Court nominee's perspective with Justice Gorsuch, and then as the staff leader for Justice Kavanaugh's confirmation.
00:19:23.000 So I've been through all these fights.
00:19:25.000 What happens is the president nominates, which he's already done with Judge Amy Coney Barrett's.
00:19:30.000 They have to go through a bunch of procedural hoops to get to a hearing.
00:19:34.000 And the procedural hoops include a Senate judiciary questionnaire that is standard that goes out to all Supreme Court nominees where they have to answer a bunch of questions and turn over a bunch of documents.
00:19:44.000 Judge Barrett has done that.
00:19:46.000 The two headlines from her questionnaire that she just submitted yesterday, number one, she is exceptionally well qualified to serve on the Supreme Court.
00:19:56.000 There's no question about that.
00:19:57.000 The American Bar Association, the Liberal American Bar Association, had no choice but to rate her as well qualified to serve for the Seventh Circuit.
00:20:05.000 They're going to have no choice but to rate her as well qualified to serve again on the Supreme Court.
00:20:10.000 The other headline is that if you look at towards the back of it, I actually think it's on the last page of the question, the answers on the questionnaire.
00:20:17.000 She makes it very crystal clear that she had no discussions with anyone, no promises to the president, no promises to any senators, no promises to any outside groups, no backroom deals on how she's going to rule on any case, whether it's the American, whether it's the Obamacare, whether it's Roe versus Wade, whether it's any case, she's not doing that.
00:20:38.000 She's been a judge for three years.
00:20:40.000 She has integrity.
00:20:41.000 She's not going to violate her ethical duties by promising how she's going to vote on cases in exchange for her nomination or confirmation vote.
00:20:48.000 So those are the two headlines that come out of that from yesterday.
00:20:52.000 Now she's meeting with senators.
00:20:53.000 She met with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.
00:20:56.000 She met with Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham.
00:20:59.000 She'll meet with other senators who want to meet with her in the coming days and have private discussions with those senators.
00:21:04.000 She also has to prepare for her hearing that's set for October 12th, 13th, and 14th.
00:21:10.000 And then there's another day of hearing with her outside witnesses and the Democrats' witnesses on the 14th, or excuse me, on the 15th.
00:21:16.000 So preparing for her hearing, she has to go through her record, all of her academic writings from when she was a professor at Notre Dame.
00:21:23.000 For 100 cases that she's written or joined on the bench on the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals, she has to be ready for the questioning, be ready for the Democrats' attacks like they attacked her last time.
00:21:35.000 They're going to question her about her Catholic faith like they did last time during her Seventh Circuit hearing, which is just utterly preposterous.
00:21:43.000 Just the thought that you're going to grill someone over their Catholic faith or any faith. 0.64
00:21:48.000 They wouldn't question and they shouldn't question a Jewish nominee or a Muslim nominee. 0.59
00:21:54.000 They definitely should not be questioning judicial nominees about their religious faith.
00:21:59.000 It is a violation of Article 6 of the U.S. Constitution, which says that there cannot be a religious test for officers of the United States.
00:22:07.000 So when these senators question a nominee, it's anti-Catholic bigotry when they do it explicitly.
00:22:13.000 It's dog whistling when they do it quietly.
00:22:16.000 But nonetheless, it is a constitutional violation and a violation of their oath as senators.
00:22:23.000 But they're going to prepare these, they're going to prepare Judge Barrett for her Supreme Court hearing.
00:22:28.000 After her hearing, these senators submit written questions for the record.
00:22:33.000 And these are tedious and oftentimes sent just to try to trip up a nominee.
00:22:39.000 With Judge, with Justice Kavanaugh, he got, after his hearing, he had 1,200, this is before the Michael Avenatti serial gang rape hearing.
00:22:49.000 This was the first hearing.
00:22:50.000 He had Democrat senators send him 1,287 written questions for the record after his hearing.
00:22:57.000 This is more than every Supreme Court nominee before him combined.
00:23:03.000 So Judge Barrett has to be prepared for answering these questions.
00:23:06.000 And then they have committee meetings to discuss their nomination.
00:23:10.000 Then they have a committee vote.
00:23:11.000 They'll probably have the committee meeting around October 15th, the first meeting.
00:23:15.000 And then they'll have the votes probably around October 22nd.
00:23:20.000 And I fully expect that Judge Barrett will become Justice Barrett by the end of October.
00:23:28.000 That's incredible.
00:23:30.000 So they send this deluge of questions to her.
00:23:33.000 Does she have to answer all of them?
00:23:38.000 It's up to the chairman of the Judiciary Committee. 0.99
00:23:42.000 She has people who help her.
00:23:43.000 She has people.
00:23:45.000 She brings her team of supporters.
00:23:46.000 This is what I did for Gorsuch.
00:23:48.000 I helped, you know, we had a team of people who helped him with his questions.
00:23:52.000 And man, that confirmation battle was intense, but I just, I mean, that was nothing compared to what Kavanaugh went through.
00:23:59.000 And it's going to be nothing for what Barrett's going to have to go through.
00:24:03.000 And, you know, she has people at the White House counsel's office who help her with these answers.
00:24:08.000 And she has people at the Justice Department who help her.
00:24:14.000 Look, there's a serious problem out there.
00:24:16.000 Our heroes have to pay out of pocket to do their job.
00:24:19.000 Hunting for military first responder discounts has historically required going from one website to another, creating multiple accounts and logins to make purchases and jumping through various hoops to verify your service.
00:24:30.000 Don't you wish there was one place you could visit where you didn't need to go from one place to the other?
00:24:35.000 One place?
00:24:36.000 Well, that is govx.com.

00:25:06.000 Use the promo code Charlie.
00:25:11.000 Yeah, I mean, I can't imagine the process, how arduous that is, and just to go through it.
00:25:16.000 And so she also has to, on top of all of it, you know, maintain her composure against ad hominem attacks, against the protesters in the streets, massive amounts of money coming in from the left, trying to smear her family, because just one thing that you could say wrong will be used against you.
00:25:34.000 I don't think this is going to be as fickle of a hearing where if Amy Coney Barrett says one comma wrong, I don't think it's going to be.
00:25:40.000 It was Brett Kavanaugh.
00:25:41.000 That was a real fragile balance that he was in.
00:25:44.000 The majority wasn't as much.
00:25:46.000 You couldn't afford to lose as many votes.
00:25:48.000 And Brett Kavanaugh, God bless him for what he did for our country holding the line there.
00:25:53.000 So can you just kind of tell us in closing here what you guys are doing at the Article 3 Project to help get Amy Coney Barrett to become just this Amy Coney Barrett?
00:26:01.000 And then finally, what else can we expect from the level of nastiness from the left?
00:26:06.000 Are there any sort of procedural things that they can do?
00:26:10.000 I mean, and they're talking about impeachment.
00:26:11.000 They're talking about court packing.
00:26:14.000 Do you think that the Democrats learned their lesson or are they going to go after the throat, the metaphorical throat again?
00:26:21.000 Well, so what we're doing at the Article 3 Project, article number3project.org, and we're on Twitter at article number three project, that article three project.
00:26:30.000 So you can follow us there.
00:26:31.000 What we're doing, we have a team of 21 of us right now for the Supreme Court fight, communicators, lawyers, researchers, and we are making the positive case for Judge Barrett as she goes through this process.
00:26:45.000 We're going on Fox News.
00:26:47.000 We're coming on Charlie Kirk show.
00:26:49.000 We're talking to a bunch of reporters.
00:26:50.000 We're putting out content, digital ads on our website, digital ads on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter.
00:26:56.000 And we're making the positive case for Judge Barrett.
00:26:59.000 We are defending Judge Barrett against the attacks.
00:27:01.000 We're already starting to see the attacks on her Catholic faith.
00:27:04.000 We saw this last time.
00:27:06.000 We're seeing it again. 0.50
00:27:07.000 We have people who have left-wing lunatics, leading Democrat operatives on Twitter who are saying that Judge Barrett and her husband are racist because they adopted two kids from Haiti, vicious attacks on their children. 0.92
00:27:21.000 Have people again who are dog whistling about uh, judge Barrett's Catholic faith, or even saying it explicitly with their Anti-Catholic bigotry. 0.98
00:27:30.000 Saying that she's too Catholic, whatever the hell. 0.69
00:27:33.000 That means that she's too Catholic to serve on the court. 0.99
00:27:36.000 She's proven over the last more than three years on the Seventh Circuit that she can separate her faith from her judicial decision making, and for people to attack her is nothing more than Anti-Catholic bigotry and it is.
00:27:48.000 It is.
00:27:49.000 It is a violation of the constitution for these senators to do this.
00:27:53.000 So we're making the that we're defending judge Barrett as she goes through this process.
00:27:56.000 We're also defending the process, which is so important because the Democrats are already arguing.
00:28:03.000 Eli Mistold, who's uh, just a complete woke clown, just came out today and did an interview saying that they are going to put out there that that the Republicans they want to.
00:28:13.000 They want to try to delay this process as long as they can, obstruct the process until after the election, so they can use that as an excuse to pack the Supreme Court. 0.71
00:28:23.000 Democrats have been advocating for packing the Supreme Court long before this nomination.
00:28:28.000 It is in their 2020 Democrat pack platform, and I think it's really important for your listeners to understand what that means that means that they want to.
00:28:36.000 They want to add new justices to the Supreme Court, something that has not been done for over 150 years since right after the Civil War, the late justice Ginsburg took the unusual step of coming out and publicly denouncing this as too radical.
00:28:49.000 What this means for your listeners is your viewers is that, if there are if, if Joe Biden and Kamala Harris pack the Supreme Court with left-wing radicals, they're going to come after you.
00:29:01.000 They're going to come after your right to speak on campus and elsewhere.
00:29:04.000 They're going to come after your right to worship.
00:29:06.000 They're going to.
00:29:07.000 They're going to come after your right to own guns.
00:29:09.000 They're going to come after all of you right, they're going to come after you, these woke mobs that we're seeing on the streets.
00:29:14.000 They're they're, they're going to be unleashed on Americans, and so it's so important.
00:29:18.000 This election is so important because there's if.
00:29:22.000 If Joe Biden wins, the Democrats are going to win the Senate and they're 100 going to pack the Supreme Court.
00:29:28.000 Joe Biden refused to denounce that plan in the debate last night because he knows he's going to do it.
