00:00:28.000 Here we go.
00:00:29.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.
00:00:31.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.
00:00:33.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.
00:00:36.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.
00:00:40.000 I want to thank Charlie.
00:00:41.000 He's an incredible guy.
00:00:42.000 His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
00:00:50.000 We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:00:59.000 That's why we are here.
00:01:02.000 Brought to you by the Loan Experts I Trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at AndrewandTodd.com.
00:01:11.000 We have known for a while that the totalitarian arsonists that are trying to take over the country, you could call them the woke, the Marxists, the American Democrat Party, they hate the Constitution.
00:01:20.000 We know that.
00:01:21.000 The Constitution is the greatest political document ever written.
00:01:23.000 This is exactly why they're doing everything they possibly can to abolish the Electoral College, to add new states, to give them the power to be able to have HR1.
00:01:34.000 They've been engaging in a 100-year project to destroy the Constitution, the promise of the Founding Fathers.
00:01:40.000 They don't like the idea of separation of powers, consent to the governed, an independent judiciary.
00:01:46.000 They don't like that.
00:01:48.000 And they especially want the third branch of government, Article 3 of the United States Constitution, the Supreme Court, to act in absolute lockstep harmony with the administrative state.
00:01:59.000 You see, Congress largely does the bidding of the administrative state.
00:02:03.000 You want a war in eastern Ukraine?
00:02:05.000 You want the borders wide open?
00:02:07.000 You want to have the military go totally trans? 0.99
00:02:09.000 You'll find enough legislators to kind of just turn a blind eye.
00:02:12.000 The executive branch is the administrative state, that fourth branch of government.
00:02:16.000 But the Supreme Court, largely thanks to President Donald Trump, by the way, President Donald Trump winning the 2016 election, giving us Amy Coney Barrett, Neil Gorsuch, and Brett Kavanaugh running the table.
00:02:28.000 Three Supreme Court justices that have largely done a great job.
00:02:32.000 I mean, there's been some decisions I don't like, but it's been a great job.
00:02:35.000 Has changed the game.
00:02:36.000 Now, all of a sudden, there is a counterbalance to this non-stop blitzkrieg on our freedoms and liberties brought to you by the unchecked fourth branch of government.
00:02:48.000 You see the Supreme Court striking down Roe versus Wade, reconsidering the Chevron decision, reconsidering the Lemon decision.
00:02:56.000 They're restoring the Constitution as the bedrock authority for the American government, and the left doesn't like that.
00:03:04.000 You see, the left, they have pathological ambitions and means, but they also have some petty and personal ones as well.
00:03:10.000 And there is an all-out campaign, an all-out assault against one of the most honorable individuals ever to serve in the United States government, ever to be in a position of authority and leadership.
00:03:22.000 Someone that our children should learn about, someone that grew up in absolute poverty and ascended to a seat on the U.S. Supreme Court.
00:03:30.000 He's been maligned and smeared and attacked in every possible direction.
00:03:34.000 And it's a man who they believe never should have been on the U.S. Supreme Court.
00:03:39.000 And by the way, he is now by far, with the death of Antonin Scalia, which happened, boy, when did that happen?
00:03:45.000 That happened seven years ago almost.
00:03:46.000 Geez, that was January, February 2016, if I remember correctly.
00:03:50.000 He is by far the most conservative member on the U.S. Supreme Court.
00:03:54.000 Him and Alito.
00:03:55.000 I mean, you read their opinions like, whoa, that's something else.
00:03:59.000 That is just unbelievable.
00:04:01.000 And you look at Clarence Thomas, he says Dobbs is just the beginning.
00:04:04.000 I mean, they want to go after other decisions.
00:04:07.000 They want to go against the Obergefeld case, which you're not even allowed to say that, the same-sex marriage case that overturned states' rights and individual initiative on a state level.
00:04:17.000 The left has hated Clarence Thomas since the moment George H.W. Bush, to his credit, nominated him to go to the U.S. Supreme Court.
00:04:25.000 Now, remember, Supreme Court hearings used to not be very contentious.
00:04:29.000 Used to be 98-nothing and 72-10, kind of boring, you know, okay, great, passer-by.
00:04:36.000 But then the Democrats decided to cross the Rubicon.
00:04:39.000 The Democrats decided to derail one of President Ronald Reagan's nominees, the great Robert Bork.
00:04:48.000 Robert Bork should have been on the U.S. Supreme Court.
00:04:50.000 He was an unbelievable writer.
00:04:53.000 He knew the Constitution through and through, but they went after him and they went after him very, very hard.
00:05:01.000 They not just condemned him, they mocked him.
00:05:03.000 They made him seem like a radical, which he wasn't.
00:05:05.000 He was a thoughtful, reasonable person.
00:05:08.000 And the term borking, a nominee, was born. 0.99
00:05:12.000 That you could derail a nomination.
00:05:14.000 And they tried to do this to Kavanaugh, by the way, and they were unsuccessful.
00:05:17.000 And basically, they were able to consolidate 58 Democrats to 42 Republicans to reject a Supreme Court nominee, the first of which in over 50 years to be rejected by the U.S. Senate.
00:05:32.000 Joe Biden was the instrumental person.
00:05:36.000 He was the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee and derailed Robert Bork's attempt to go on the U.S. Supreme Court.
00:05:46.000 Play Cut 119.
00:05:48.000 As a nationally known jurist and legal scholar, Robert Bork was a mainstay of conservative jurisprudence for more than half a century.
00:05:56.000 Those views fueled a titanic struggle over his 1987 nomination to the U.S. Supreme Court, a fight that became a seminal moment in altering the process for all future nominees.
00:06:08.000 Bork's Supreme Court confirmation hearings unfolded in September 1987 and heralded a historic struggle over the ideological composition of the federal courts.
00:06:18.000 The judge's responsibility is to discern how the framers' values, defined in the context of the world they knew, apply in the world we know.
00:06:30.000 Brilliant.
00:06:30.000 I mean, Ted Kennedy, who was an evil person, how many times can you say Chappaquittick was involved?
00:06:38.000 Joe Biden was involved.
00:06:39.000 This same cabal.
00:06:40.000 It's like they never go away.
00:06:44.000 Bork was unbelievably thoughtful, but they got rid of him.
00:06:47.000 And they thought, oh, wow, they saw we now have a blueprint.
00:06:50.000 We can now execute a fundamental transformation of the country by now politicizing Supreme Court hearings.
00:06:57.000 And so they tried it again.
00:06:59.000 George H.W. Bush, who came after, obviously Ronald Reagan, had a Supreme Court opening.
00:07:04.000 By the way, just really quick note: instead of Robert Bork, we got Anthony Kennedy, who was good on some decisions and just terror, just beyond awful on other decisions.
00:07:12.000 For example, Planned Parenthood v. Casey was one of the just one of the most confusing Supreme Court decisions in the history of American jurisprudence.
00:07:22.000 I mean, it was basically Anthony Kennedy and Planned Parenthood v. V. Casey being like, well, you can have your own truth and you can make up your own existence.
00:07:29.000 It was just nonsense.
00:07:30.000 So they wanted to bork Clarence Thomas in order to get another Anthony Kennedy. 0.94
00:07:35.000 Clarence Thomas, being a black man, a true conservative, they said, no, no, there is no way we're going to allow this guy. 0.94
00:07:43.000 And he was young at the time and he still has a lot of energy, a lot of vitality.
00:07:47.000 They wanted to derail him.
00:07:48.000 They wanted to use the Bork playbook to go after Clarence Thomas.
00:07:53.000 They wanted to use the Bork blueprints to try to keep the court in their image.
00:08:02.000 They went after Clarence Thomas through a series of fake and false accusations through a left-wing activist by the name of Anita Hill.
00:08:09.000 They tried everything they possibly could.
00:08:10.000 And Clarence Thomas, this is why they hate him.
00:08:12.000 He's very similar to Donald Trump in this regard and very similar to a lot of the heroes of the last couple decades, like Rush Limbaugh and Tucker Carlson.
00:08:20.000 He punched back against the media.
00:08:22.000 Clarence Thomas, by the way, the Clarence Thomas hearings is what radicalized Andrew Breitbart.
00:08:27.000 People forget that.
00:08:28.000 They forget that Andrew Breitbart was a left-wing liberal until he started listening to the Clarence Thomas hearings.
00:08:34.000 He said, this is totally unfair.
00:08:35.000 They're going after this guy in a terrible way.
00:08:37.000 And Clarence Thomas laid it down.
00:08:39.000 Clarence Thomas said, you are not going to come after me.
00:08:42.000 And he used a race card against the Democrats, Justice Thomas, saying this is a high-tech lynching, one of the most articulate, beautiful, persuasive, and powerful pieces of testimony in the history of America.
00:08:59.000 Clarence Thomas Play Cut 115.
00:09:01.000 I think something is dreadfully wrong with this country when any person, any person in this free country would be subjected to this.
00:09:10.000 This is not a closed room.
00:09:12.000 This is a circus.
00:09:13.000 It's a national disgrace. 0.98
00:09:17.000 And from my standpoint, as a black American, as far as I'm concerned, it is a high-tech lynching for uppity blacks who in any way deign to think for themselves, to do for themselves, to have different ideas. 0.99
00:09:34.000 And it is a message that unless you kowtow to an old order, this is what will happen to you. 0.98
00:09:43.000 You will be lynched, destroyed, caricatured by a committee of the U.S., U.S. Senate rather than hung from a tree. 0.76
00:09:55.000 Oh, you should have cut it, Ryan. 0.92
00:09:57.000 Oh, the best part of that C-SPAN footage.
00:09:59.000 You know the best part of that C-SPAN footage? 0.69
00:10:01.000 The degenerate Joe Biden is like this with his hands.
00:10:04.000 You got to find the screen grab. 0.94
00:10:06.000 I've seen that video probably 50 times.
00:10:08.000 And then Joe Biden's just staring at him.
00:10:10.000 That message was delivered right to Joe Biden.
00:10:12.000 But guess what?
00:10:13.000 Joe Biden's not involved in this current attack, but his allies are.
00:10:16.000 They're striking back against Clarence Thomas.
00:10:17.000 And I'm going to walk you through all of it.
00:10:19.000 They're trying to take this guy out the same way they took out James O'Keefe, the same way they took out Tucker Carlson, the same way that they've indicted Donald Trump.
00:10:25.000 They got their eyes set on Clarence Thomas.
00:10:32.000 Look, with all the danger out there in today's world, many people are concerned about the very real possibility of food shortages.
00:10:39.000 That's why I urge everyone to secure a long-term emergency food supply while you can.

00:11:35.000 That's mypatriotsupply.com.
00:11:39.000 Rule number 13 in the rules for radicals: pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.
00:11:47.000 Rule number eight: keep the pressure on.
00:11:49.000 Rules for Radicals is one of the many, let's just say, pieces of literature that radical left-wing activists consider to be their gospel, how they operate.
00:12:01.000 It's more of the technical side than the philosophical side, the philosophical side we've gone through, but the technical side of how they operate can be best explained through Rules for Radicals, amongst many other pieces of literature.
00:12:10.000 But I think this is really important: pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.
00:12:14.000 That's what they're doing right now to Clarence Thomas.
00:12:15.000 They've done that to Tucker Carlson.
00:12:17.000 They've done that to James O'Keefe.
00:12:18.000 They see the movement makers on the right.
00:12:21.000 They see the people that are willing to be effective, courageous, bold.
00:12:25.000 You notice that they don't go after John Roberts?
00:12:28.000 You notice that?
00:12:29.000 John Roberts is not a big point of controversy.
00:12:31.000 Oh, no, no, but Neil Gorsuch, yep.
00:12:33.000 But Clarence Thomas is number one.
00:12:34.000 And let's just be honest.
00:12:36.000 The reason why they hate Clarence Thomas is the same reason why they refuse to put Clarence Thomas in the Black History Museum brought to you by the Smithsonian right there in downtown D.C.
00:12:46.000 It's because they consider Clarence Thomas to be a race traitor.
00:12:50.000 That's how bigoted these people are. 0.99
00:12:52.000 They consider Clarence Thomas to be a traitor to the black race. 0.94
00:12:56.000 And it's white liberals that largely believe this because they believe they can control black people the same way that Democrats controlled black people through poll taxes and segregation, which they're doing again, and also through slavery. 0.70
00:13:08.000 They just control black people differently through government handouts and goodies and voting for the Democrat Party. 0.96
00:13:13.000 While white liberals remain rich and powerful, blacks continue to line up to vote for the American Democrat Party. 0.98
00:13:19.000 The whole thing's a scam. 0.60
00:13:20.000 Candace Owens, Brandon Tatum, are doing a great job of exposing that scam.
00:13:25.000 And Clarence Thomas should be taught in every school, don't you think?
00:13:27.000 I mean, we're all about uplifting black voices.
00:13:30.000 Why is it that we do not make the story of Clarence Thomas, the biography of Clarence Thomas, mandatory to learn as far as the AP U.S. history course?
00:13:38.000 The guy grew up in absolute abject poverty in the antebellum South.
00:13:43.000 If anyone could tell you about institutional systemic racism, it's probably the black guy on the U.S. Supreme Court.
00:13:50.000 I'd like to hear what he has to say.
00:13:51.000 He rejects it.
00:13:52.000 He hates race politics.
00:13:54.000 He hates tribalism.
00:13:55.000 He talks about it.
00:13:56.000 He hates sectarianism.
00:13:58.000 And by the way, they've gone after the Supreme Court in many ways.
00:14:00.000 Remember last summer, the assassination attempt against Brett Kavanaugh, the repeated threats on hand to relocate Supreme Court justices.
00:14:10.000 They're doing everything they possibly can to shake the fiber of the third branch of government because the Supreme Court is the only part of government they do not have complete control of.
00:14:22.000 That's right.
00:14:23.000 The only part of government, the only part of the federal government, they control the CIA, the FBI, Department of Justice, the EPA, the Department of Interior, Department of Labor, Department of Education.
00:14:32.000 They control the Marines.
00:14:34.000 They control the Senate.
00:14:36.000 They technically don't control the House, but they control parts of the House of Representatives.
00:14:40.000 But they control, because it's 50-50, the legislative branch.
00:14:44.000 They control everything, that third branch of government, which has the power to say, nope, unconstitutional, reverse this, it drives them nuts.
00:14:52.000 And a lot of them blame Clarence Thomas for this.
00:14:55.000 This is the inside baseball thing that you're not going to hear on your nightly news because the Supreme Court's a very deliberative body, way more than the Senate.
00:15:04.000 So the way the Supreme Court works is it's very clubby.
00:15:07.000 And by the way, it should work this way.
00:15:09.000 This is one of the things that the founders actually still have in place, unlike the mess that is the legislative branch.
00:15:16.000 But the reason that the Supreme Court works is that they hear a case, right?
00:15:20.000 They'll hear a case.
00:15:22.000 It could be, you know, the Chevron case.
00:15:24.000 It could be the Lemon case.
00:15:26.000 It could be Roe versus Wade.
00:15:28.000 And then they have a big table.
00:15:30.000 No clerks allowed.
00:15:32.000 And it's just nine people.
00:15:35.000 And they talk.
00:15:37.000 And they have coffee and then they talk.
00:15:39.000 And they debate.
00:15:40.000 One of the reasons they hate Clarence Thomas is that he's unbelievably charming because he's a great person.
00:15:46.000 Let me say that again.
00:15:47.000 He's a good person.
00:15:48.000 And they're attacking him for being a generous, good person, for basically helping out his nephew to go to college through a friend of his in Dallas.
00:15:57.000 Clarence Thomas is a good person.
00:16:00.000 And guess what?
00:16:01.000 So he's in this private room, nine people, and maybe he's able to win over John Roberts a little bit more.
00:16:10.000 Maybe he's able to de-radicalize Sodomayor and Kagan. 1.00
00:16:13.000 Maybe not that effective.
00:16:15.000 Their votes have been terrible.
00:16:17.000 But they hate Clarence Thomas because this is what's important.
00:16:21.000 He took the philosophical tradition from Scalia and continued it and carries it forward.
00:16:30.000 You see, Clarence Thomas has not done the John Roberts thing where he gets flimsy and goes to the middle.
00:16:37.000 Clarence Thomas is actually holding down the conservative opinion.
00:16:41.000 They look to him as a thought leader, and they should.
00:16:44.000 The guy is objectively brilliant.
00:16:46.000 So Amy Coney Barrett and Brett Kavanaugh and Neil Gorsuch come on.
00:16:51.000 He's almost like the godfather of the originalist viewpoint.
00:16:55.000 The guy's so well read.
00:16:56.000 He's so deep.
00:16:57.000 This is one of the reasons why the left hates him is because he impacts those dialogues and those discussions in those private nine-person, and they can't control that.
00:17:04.000 The administrative state is not able to impact that.
00:17:09.000 Hey, everybody, Charlie Kirk here.
00:17:11.000 Are you tired of feeling burnt out and struggling to stay productive throughout the day?
00:17:14.000 Does brain fog and short-term memory loss keep you from functioning at your best?
00:17:18.000 Well, I did too.
00:17:19.000 And then I was introduced to Strong Cell, more specifically, NADH.
00:17:23.000 If you don't believe me, check it out yourself.
00:17:25.000 What Strong Cell has done is they have a scientific breakthrough in cellular health.
00:17:28.000 They combine NADH, CoQ10, and marine collagen to boost your body's cellular function.
00:17:33.000 I personally take it every day.
00:17:34.000 I'm a big NAD believer.
00:17:36.000 People say, Charlie, how do you keep up the schedule?
00:17:38.000 How do you have mental clarity?
00:17:39.000 Go do some research on NAD.

00:18:12.000 Okay, let's get actually down to the substance of it, right?
00:18:14.000 So their accusations, the big one that they are throwing at Clarence Thomas, is all about payments.
00:18:24.000 Okay, so ProPublica has a hit piece against Clarence Thomas.
00:18:29.000 It's all about tuition payments.
00:18:31.000 This whole thing is super bizarre.
00:18:33.000 So Clarence Thomas, being a good Christian, a very devout Catholic, by the way, fostered his grandnephew, Mark, taking custody of him and essentially raising him from the age of 10.
00:18:45.000 As part of that, he sent them to Hidden Lake Academy, a boarding school in Georgia.
00:18:51.000 Dallas-based Republican donor and a good man, Harlan Crowe, paid for two years of tuition at that school.
00:18:58.000 And once again, the complaint is that Thomas did not report this as a gift.
00:19:01.000 That's just nonsense.
00:19:02.000 It's well known that Harlan Crowe and Clarence Thomas are very good friends.
00:19:05.000 Harlan Crowe, for anyone that knows this, he's an incredible collector.
00:19:11.000 He loves American history and he has a friendship with Clarence Thomas.
00:19:13.000 Are you not allowed to have friends if you're on the Supreme Court?
00:19:16.000 The only statement Thomas has made is that he and his wife are very close friends with the Crows.
00:19:21.000 That's well known.
00:19:22.000 And then his understanding was that he wasn't required to report any of these things.
00:19:26.000 And on both points, he's correct.
00:19:28.000 There's no evidence of any bribery or corruption.
00:19:32.000 But they're coming after him hard.
00:19:35.000 They want criminal investigations.
00:19:37.000 They want indictments.
00:19:39.000 They want the whole thing.
00:19:40.000 Mika Brzezinski on payments to Clarence Thomas's wife, because then it somehow involves something around Ginny Thomas.
00:19:48.000 They're going after the entire family, everybody.
00:19:49.000 Play cut 116.
00:19:51.000 We're going to talk now about the new reporting on payments to the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.
00:19:58.000 Citing documents, it reviewed the Washington Post reports that conservative judicial activist Leonard Leo paid Ginny Thomas tens of thousands of dollars for consulting work, but gave specific instructions that her name be left off the paperwork.
00:20:17.000 The same year, the nonprofit, the Judicial Education Project, filed a brief to the Supreme Court challenging a landmark civil rights law aimed at protecting minority voters.
00:20:29.000 That's the real key, isn't it?
00:20:31.000 They don't like how he votes.
00:20:33.000 They don't like his decisions.
00:20:34.000 They don't like his opinions.
00:20:36.000 You see, one of the reasons they hate Clarence Thomas so much is they thought over a period of time with all of these nonsense attacks, he would moderate his positions.
00:20:48.000 They thought that Clarence Thomas would become like John Roberts, kind of vanilla, squishy in the middle.
00:20:54.000 They're coming after him because he's effective and he's persuasive.
00:20:58.000 And his clerks are actually going on to make a massive impact.
00:21:02.000 They view him as somebody who never should have been there in the first place.
00:21:08.000 I think we underestimate the power of scoring political animosity.
00:21:18.000 Joe Biden was defeated in the confirmation of Clarence Thomas.
00:21:23.000 And Joe Biden and his allies, they don't forget, they look at the judicial branch as striking down his vaccine mandate, striking down ruling by fiat, and they want to find somebody to blame.
00:21:37.000 The New York Times has come out regarding these accusations, saying enforcement actions for any failure to comply with the disclosure law have another constraint.
00:21:45.000 There's generally a four-year statute of limitations for civil actions under federal law.
00:21:50.000 The tuition payments fall outside that window.
00:21:52.000 In his statement, Mr. Palloetta indicated that Mr. Crowe has paid for Mr. Mark Martin's tuition at the Randolph Macon Academy in Virginia in the 2006-2007 academic year.
00:22:04.000 Oh, wait, so let me get this straight.
00:22:05.000 The accusation is that Clarence Thomas had a friend be generous towards a person in need that was not his son.
00:22:15.000 That's the accusation.
00:22:17.000 You're too generous, Clarence Thomas.
00:22:19.000 Your friends are too generous.
00:22:21.000 Meanwhile, while we're on the topic, someone who was never held accountable for not recusing themselves, Justice Elena Kagan.
00:22:29.000 Remember when she had to rule on the Obamacare decision?
00:22:33.000 When there were some very suspicious connections between her and her husband regarding companies that had business in front of the court?
00:22:43.000 And that's the other thing: Harlan Court never had any business in front of the court.
00:22:49.000 Not to mention, did you know that Sonia Sotomayor took $3 million from a book publisher and did not recuse it from its cases?
00:22:57.000 And they did have business in front of the court.
00:23:02.000 So the clear thing is this: Thomas never broke a law, and this could have been targeted earlier.
00:23:08.000 Why is it coming out now?
00:23:10.000 Ideological motivations.
00:23:12.000 The left obviously had a strategy meeting earlier this year, and they said we got to start taking people off.
00:23:18.000 And they've tried and they try.
00:23:19.000 They were successful in Tucker.
00:23:20.000 Tucker's been temporarily muzzled.
00:23:23.000 They've indicted Donald Trump and they're probably going to indict him federally, which is going to create a whole mess of things.
00:23:28.000 And I'm not even sure how that's going to end up.
00:23:31.000 Take out James O'Keefe, Veritas, way too effective.
00:23:35.000 And they know they're probably going to be unsuccessful in taking out Clarence Thomas.
00:23:39.000 So then, what is the secondary or third or fourth reason they're doing this?
00:23:46.000 They're doing this to try to make an example that if you dare be courageous, if you do not tow the party line, we're going to try to ruin your life. 0.92
00:23:52.000 We're going to obliterate you.
00:23:54.000 We are going to put you on display the same way Clarence Thomas predicted it during his confirmation hearing as a high-tech lynching. 0.97
00:24:03.000 They're just trying to do it all over again.
00:24:06.000 But do not underestimate the racial component here. 0.71
00:24:10.000 They want to try to tar and feather and smear and slander any black American that speaks out against the American Democrat dominance over the urban community.
00:24:20.000 Clarence Thomas represents a different way for black America. 0.58
00:24:27.000 He represents a different path for black Americans.
00:24:33.000 Play Cut 118.
00:24:34.000 Sonny Hostin from the View speaking about Clarence Thomas, Play Cut 118.
00:24:40.000 It's interesting.
00:24:40.000 Cornyn, who is a Republican, says basically it's a racist attack, which is what they said when he was appointed to the Supreme Court.
00:24:49.000 It's just not true.
00:24:50.000 And I think the worst part of the fact that they're using the black card in that way is that it lessens the real degradation when it happens to African Americans in this country.
00:25:01.000 And so I think that's, you know, that's just smoke and mirrors.
00:25:04.000 Yeah, just smoke and mirrors.
00:25:05.000 You see, you see how uncomfortable she gets, though?
00:25:07.000 She's not as articulate.
00:25:09.000 As soon as you use the race card against the left and you call them bigots, which they are, they get on real uncomfortable footing.
00:25:15.000 Same with the black-only calculus course at Evanston High School.
00:25:19.000 They don't like it.
00:25:20.000 Here's the good news: the Supreme Court justices release a unanimous 9-0 letter slamming Democrat senators over the fake Clarence Thomas ethics scandal.
00:25:31.000 But they're not going to stop.
00:25:33.000 They literally created, according to Justice Alito, Justice Alito wrote this very powerful piece in the Wall Street Journal.
00:25:39.000 He said, the leaks made us targets of assassination.
00:25:43.000 Alito says that the leak created an atmosphere of suspicion and distrust.
00:25:48.000 We worked through it, and last year we got our work done.
00:25:50.000 This year, I think we're trying to get back to normal operations as much as we can, but it was damaging.
00:25:55.000 He continues, quote, I personally have a pretty good idea who's responsible, but that's different from the level of proof that is needed to name somebody, he says.
00:26:02.000 Ooh, that's interesting.
00:26:03.000 He knows who the leaker is.
00:26:05.000 Here's a question: Has the Department of Justice interviewed Justice Alito?
00:26:09.000 Probably not.
00:26:10.000 Has the Justice Department gone to Justice Alito and said, Hey, do you know who the leaker is?
00:26:13.000 He writes it publicly.
00:26:14.000 He's certain about the motive.
00:26:16.000 Quote, it was part of an effort to prevent the Dobbs draft from becoming the decision of the court.
00:26:20.000 And that's how it was used for those six weeks by people on the outside as part of a campaign to try and intimidate the court.
00:26:27.000 And nobody was arrested.
00:26:28.000 The only person arrested was the thankfully failed assassination attempt on Brett Kavanaugh.
00:26:33.000 Remember the armed man outside of Brett Kavanaugh?
00:26:35.000 He wanted to tie up Brett Kavanaugh's entire family.
00:26:39.000 All the protesting outside of the Supreme Court was illegal, and none of those people were arrested.
00:26:43.000 Could you imagine if we as conservatives protested outside of Sotomayor's house?
00:26:50.000 I don't recommend this, but if we did it, we'd be arrested in a heartbeat.
00:26:53.000 You can't do it.
00:26:53.000 It's against the law.
00:26:55.000 They'd say it's outrageous.
00:26:56.000 And remember Nancy Pelosi's slow-walked legislation to increase security for these Supreme Court justices? 0.94
00:27:03.000 Katanji Brown Jackson, who's a fool, who is a spokesperson for how the regime wants black America to operate, is precisely and exactly what they wished Clarence Thomas would become. 0.95
00:27:16.000 And he's defying them. 0.97
00:27:18.000 The third branch of government is the last check and balance on the administrative state.
00:27:22.000 The Chevron decision, by the way, it could be a death blow to the unchecked, unaccountable power that the progressives put into this fourth branch of government.
00:27:34.000 And thanks to Donald Trump and thanks to his nominees, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, Amy Coney Barrett, we have one part of the government that is able to check all the others.
00:27:46.000 It's not enough, but it's something.
00:27:49.000 And this goes to show that the left is not happy until they imperialize every square inch of our country.
00:27:55.000 They want to control it all.
00:27:56.000 They want the whole ballgame. 0.58
00:27:58.000 They want to colonize the country around their view.
00:28:04.000 This is one of the most amazing things that has happened this year.
00:28:08.000 This was not helped by the RNC.
00:28:10.000 This wasn't some national GOP strategy.
00:28:13.000 This wasn't funded by some, you know, massive group.
00:28:16.000 This is organic.
00:28:17.000 A few activists, a couple shows like our show, Matt Walsh and Tucker Carlson, that just kept on talking about the chemical castration of children and asking the question, why is this legal?
00:28:28.000 Why is this allowed?
00:28:29.000 Why are we putting up with this?
00:28:31.000 So this was a couple media people.
00:28:34.000 This is why they had to try to hack Matt Walsh's phone and take Tucker Carlson off.
00:28:39.000 And groups of moms and dads that decided to get involved.
00:28:43.000 The conservative movement a couple years ago wouldn't touch this issue.
00:28:46.000 Well, it's freedom.
00:28:47.000 You should be able to castrate yourself if you're an 11-year-old.
00:28:50.000 Well, that mentality has gone away and died.
00:28:52.000 And Asa Hutchinson is going on TV and saying, well, the bill went too far.
00:28:56.000 Yeah.
00:28:57.000 Okay, pal, you're done.
00:28:58.000 Guess what?
00:28:58.000 The very same state where he vetoed that bill, this is what's amazing.
00:29:02.000 16 states.
00:29:03.000 This is without a centralized plan.
00:29:05.000 This is without somebody pulling the strings.
00:29:07.000 This all just happened.
00:29:08.000 It just grew out of the grassroots.
00:29:10.000 This is a people-led movement.
00:29:12.000 16 states have now banned the medical mutilation on children.
00:29:18.000 16 states.
00:29:20.000 These states no longer allow doctors to prescribe hormones, puberty blockers, and perform gender reassignment surgeries on kids.
00:29:27.000 Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Mississippi.
00:29:34.000 By the way, let's just pause on Kentucky.
00:29:35.000 That's a Democrat governor who signed that.
00:29:38.000 Interesting, right?
00:29:39.000 Andy Bashir.
00:29:41.000 Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, North Dakota.
00:29:44.000 He's got a lot of problems, but I'm glad he signed that.
00:29:47.000 Oklahoma, Governor Stitt.
00:29:48.000 South Dakota, Governor Noam.
00:29:49.000 Tennessee, Utah, and West Virginia.
00:29:52.000 That is 16 states so far and more coming.
00:29:57.000 This is an entirely state-level movement.
00:30:00.000 No federal government, no turtle, no Lady Graham, huge momentum, and it has changed.
00:30:06.000 Let me show you how it's changed.
00:30:07.000 This is a long clip, but it's worthy.
00:30:09.000 Just listen.
00:30:10.000 This was the banality, if you will.
00:30:14.000 I just have to keep on doing what, you know, whatever Walmart tells me to do, whatever, you know, the muscle memory of the 1980s is.
00:30:22.000 Here's Asa Hutchinson with Tucker Carlson.
00:30:24.000 Tucker Carlson single-handedly with Matt Walsh.
00:30:27.000 And I'd give our show a little bit of credit, but Tucker and Matt, they have remade the public policy agenda on the state level on this issue.
00:30:36.000 That shows the power of media.
00:30:37.000 That shows the power of independent journalism.
00:30:39.000 That shows the power of courage.
00:30:40.000 It's not some super PAC.
00:30:41.000 It's not some Mitch McConnell thing.
00:30:43.000 No, no, no.
00:30:44.000 You could do it on the state level.
00:30:46.000 Look, just listen to how Cut 113, this is Asa Hutchinson saying, well, this is Bill Buckley and Ronald Reagan.
00:30:56.000 He's been kicked out of the party and the grassroots are now in charge.
00:30:58.000 Play Cut 113.
00:31:00.000 But let me just ask you, I mean, there are all kinds of, we're talking about minors, children here, and there are all kinds of things in Arkansas.
00:31:05.000 Kids in every state are not allowed to do.
00:31:07.000 Get married, drink a beer, get a tattoo.
00:31:10.000 Why do you think it's important for conservatives to make certain that children can block their puberty, be chemically castrated?
00:31:18.000 Why is that a conservative value?
00:31:20.000 If you would tell us.
00:31:21.000 Well, first of all, you have parents involved in very difficult decisions.
00:31:26.000 You have physicians that are involved in these decisions.
00:31:30.000 And I go back to William Buckley.
00:31:33.000 I go back to Ronald Reagan, the principles of our party, which believes in a limited role of government.
00:31:39.000 Are we as a party abandoning a limited role of government and saying we're going to invoke the government decision-making over and above physicians, over and above health care, over and above parents, and saying, so you can't do it?
00:31:54.000 Yeah, he believes it's healthcare.
00:31:56.000 You better believe we are going to say that medieval butchers are not allowed to go after minors.
00:32:00.000 Heck yeah.
00:32:01.000 We believe in a small but strong government, especially in a state level.
00:32:05.000 We're not going to put up with it.
00:32:06.000 But no, no, he's paid by all the pharmaceutical companies, Assa Hutchinson.
00:32:10.000 16 states, everybody, this year alone have banned the medical mutilation on children.
00:32:16.000 And it was done through a relentless social media campaign.
00:32:18.000 You know who else deserves a lot of credit?
00:32:20.000 It's Chaya from Libs of TikTok. 1.00
00:32:22.000 Libsa TikTok deserves a lot of credit.
00:32:25.000 This goes to show that you can literally shape a policy agenda, not through billions of dollars in some sort of super PAC, not through winning Senate seats.
00:32:36.000 No, but by making arguments on radio, by making videos, having discussion.
00:32:41.000 And Matt Walsh has just done yeoman's work.
00:32:43.000 You got what is a woman? 0.79
00:32:44.000 He talks about this.
00:32:46.000 There's a new alignment unfolding where now the policy agenda is no longer always set by lobbyists.
00:32:52.000 They still have too much power.
00:32:53.000 The policy agenda is not just set by what DC wants.
00:32:56.000 It's that you're seeing real results that are bubbling up from the grassroots that are coming straight from parents, not perverts.
00:33:05.000 New coalitions are being formed.
00:33:07.000 16 states and not a single centralized conductor of an orchestra.
00:33:12.000 It's just happened the right way.
00:33:14.000 And the left-wing media is freaking out because who's behind this?
00:33:17.000 No one actually.
00:33:18.000 That's what you can't control it.
00:33:19.000 You can't censor it.
00:33:20.000 You can't stifle it.
00:33:21.000 You can't stop it because it's millions of independent people rising up to take back their country. 1.00
00:33:26.000 That's why they're so afraid.
