The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 1760 - Ketanji Brown Jackson Needs To Be Impeached. This Dangerously Idiotic Dissent Is PROOF.

00:00:00.000 If you've ever made the mistake of installing a bunch of news apps on your phone, then you're

00:00:04.560 probably familiar with the push notification bomb. And that's when breaking news happens.

00:00:08.680 And within a few minutes, you get a dozen different alerts, all of which tell you the

00:00:12.360 same thing. If a plane crashes or something, and you'll hear about it over and over and over again

00:00:15.780 until you finally snap and delete the apps from your phone. Or I guess you could

00:00:19.780 change your notification settings, assuming you're able to figure out a user interface

00:00:24.080 that's designed seemingly on purpose to make everything impossible. But anyway, every now

00:00:28.720 and then, breaking news involves a topic that isn't cut and dry like a plane crash. And sometimes

00:00:33.980 breaking news involves a Supreme Court decision consisting of thousands of words, a majority

00:00:38.800 opinion, and a dissent. And in those cases, the push notification bomb is actually sort of

00:00:45.000 revealing. So take a look at this swarm of push notifications that were sent yesterday by several

00:00:49.960 different news organizations after a decision came down from the Supreme Court. The New York

00:00:55.900 Times reports, quote, the Supreme Court rejected a Colorado law banning sexual orientation or

00:01:02.180 gender identity conversion therapy for minors. Fox reports that the Supreme Court rules on

00:01:08.020 conversion therapy ban challenged by Christian counselor. NBC says that the Supreme Court rules

00:01:13.320 against Colorado's ban on conversion therapy aimed at LGBTQ youth. And the AP declares that,

00:01:19.600 quote, the Supreme Court ruled against a law banning conversion therapy for LGBTQ plus kids

00:01:24.340 in Colorado, one of about two dozen states that banned the discredited practice. Meanwhile, ABC

00:01:31.680 ran this report. Watch. Breaking news. The Supreme Court has struck down Colorado's ban on conversion

00:01:39.100 therapy. That therapy includes efforts to change an individual's sexual orientation or gender

00:01:44.120 identity during talk therapy. Major American medical groups consider it ineffective and

00:01:48.820 harmful, and 27 states outlaw that practice. But a Christian licensed therapist alleged the

00:01:54.120 Colorado law violates her free speech rights and prevents her from openly talking with clients

00:01:58.800 about their desire to rid themselves of same-sex attractions or better align with their biological

00:02:03.940 sex. Now the high court has ruled in her favor. Now what's remarkable is that in that segment

00:02:11.620 and every push alert from every single outlet, the term conversion therapy is used as if it's

00:02:17.580 a real thing, which it isn't. None of the outlets tell you that it was an eight to one decision

00:02:22.940 in their push alerts either.

00:02:24.680 Instead, they strongly imply that this was a ruling

00:02:26.940 by the conservatives on the court

00:02:28.560 to bring back a barbaric or at least discredited practice,

00:02:33.140 as the AP put it.

00:02:35.020 Every time this happens, you should take note of it.

00:02:37.700 When the media starts using a euphemism

00:02:39.560 like conversion therapy with strong negative connotations,

00:02:43.640 it's important to really think about exactly

00:02:45.780 what they're talking about

00:02:46.900 because in pretty much every case, they're lying.

00:02:50.340 And to be very clear about this,

00:02:51.500 When they talk about conversion therapy, what they're talking about is the practice of telling a boy that he's a boy and telling a girl that she's a girl.

00:03:01.720 That's what conversion therapy is to them. That's what they're referring to.

00:03:05.540 They banned talk therapy where therapists say things that are true.

00:03:10.180 The state of Colorado and several other states made it illegal for counselors and psychiatrists to tell their gender-confused patients the truth about their sex.

00:03:23.340 They tried to force medical professionals to affirm the delusions of their patients, and if they didn't go along with it, they'd lose their license.

00:03:31.260 Sounds deranged, and because it is, that's what they did, and it's a flagrant attack on free speech, as we discussed a year ago.

00:03:40.180 Now, of course, in a sense, every kind of therapy is conversion therapy.

00:03:44.520 I mean, you're trying to convert a patient from a bad mental state to a good one, from a sort of bad way of thinking about things to a better and healthier way of thinking about things and thinking about themselves and the world.

00:03:58.540 That's all therapy.

00:04:01.160 But in Colorado, this conversion was only allowed to go one way.

00:04:04.860 It was perfectly legal in Colorado for therapists to encourage patients to identify as some other gender.

00:04:10.180 But it wasn't acceptable for therapists to encourage patients to accept reality.

00:04:15.400 Just so there's no confusion about this, I'm going to quote from the text of the Colorado law that the Supreme Court just struck down.

00:04:21.620 This is what conversion therapy actually means from a legal perspective.

00:04:25.300 This is what the left is demonizing.

00:04:27.560 Conversion therapy, according to Colorado, is, quote,

00:04:29.360 Any practice or treatment that attempts to change an individual's sexual orientation or gender identity, as well as any effort to change behaviors or gender expressions or to eliminate or reduce sexual or romantic attractions towards individuals of the same sex.

00:04:42.800 And at the same time, the law also allows counselors to provide, quote, acceptance, support, and understanding for identity exploration and development and to assist persons undergoing gender transition.

00:04:53.420 so the pro-trans conversions are totally fine in other words as long as they're pro-trans

00:05:01.400 it's only the conversions that bring them back to reality that are the problem now under the

00:05:07.520 first amendment this is clearly unconstitutional the government doesn't get to prevent people

00:05:12.880 from saying things the government doesn't agree with especially when those things are obviously

00:05:18.280 true, it doesn't matter if those people are licensed counselors or therapists or anyone else.

00:05:23.480 The First Amendment applies to every American. As the majority opinion put it, quote,

00:05:28.200 the First Amendment stands as a bulwark against any effort to prescribe an orthodoxy of views

00:05:33.060 reflecting a belief that each American enjoys an inalienable right to speak his mind and a faith

00:05:37.560 in the free marketplace of ideas as the best means for finding truth. Laws like Colorado's,

00:05:41.720 which suppress speech based on viewpoint, represent an egregious assault on both commitments.

00:05:47.140 It doesn't matter if the government thinks that the world would be a better place if certain people weren't allowed to speak.

00:05:54.080 Unless someone is committing a very specific offense, like fraud or defamation, or making a credible and direct threat of harm to someone, then the government has to stay out of it.

00:06:02.800 This is not the Soviet Union or Canada.

00:06:05.520 But in this case, Colorado effectively tried to suspend the First Amendment.

00:06:08.800 When it came to gender issues, the state of Colorado declared that you can hold any viewpoint

00:06:14.300 you want as long as it's their viewpoint. They forced therapists to lie to their mentally

00:06:19.640 disturbed patients. I mean, it's one of the most psychotic laws that has ever been passed anywhere.

00:06:24.340 And that's why eight Supreme Court justices, including two of the leftists, voted to strike

00:06:28.860 down the law. Now, technically, they voted to apply a much more strict standard to the law,

00:06:33.120 but they made it clear the lower courts need to strike it down. So if you're keeping track,

00:06:38.800 This is the third time in the past few years that leftists in the state of Colorado, which is, as we're learning, one of the worst states in the entire country,

00:06:49.120 the third time they've been shut down by the Supreme Court after attempting to force Christians to adopt left-wing orthodoxy with harassment and lawsuits.

00:06:57.420 First, they tried to force the Christian baker to make the cake for the gay wedding.

00:07:01.280 They tried to force the Christian web designer to create gay wedding websites.

00:07:04.640 Now they try to force a Christian counselor to affirm the gender delusions of children.

00:07:10.720 And once again, they've lost.

00:07:13.080 They caused enormous damage to these Christians and to many other people.

00:07:18.480 And they've made it clear that they want to destroy Christians entirely.

00:07:23.320 And yet, every time in the end, they've lost.

00:07:26.480 Which won't stop them from continuing to try. We know that.

00:07:30.260 But there was one justice who wrote a dissent to this ruling.

00:07:33.340 And that's what I want to talk about today. And you already know who it was. Of course, it's Kentonji Brown Jackson, the single dumbest individual to ever sit on the United States Supreme Court, selected by the Biden administration solely because of her race and gender. And he was very clear about that.

00:07:48.860 They set out to find a black woman for the job.

00:07:51.800 They weren't looking at any other race or sex.

00:07:54.700 Made that clear.

00:07:56.100 And they tell us they found the most qualified black woman around.

00:08:00.120 And it's Ketanji Brown Jackson, which is a sad state of affairs.

00:08:05.260 I'm going to go through this dissent at some length because you really need to understand how dangerously incompetent this woman is.

00:08:11.600 And why it's important for conservatives to get serious about protecting their Supreme Court majority, which we'll talk about in a second.

00:08:17.260 But for now, let's get to Ketanji Brown-Jackson's dissent, and we'll start with the very beginning.

00:08:23.400 This is the first line, the very first line.

00:08:27.340 It says, quote,

00:08:28.300 This is truly an amazing passage, given the source.

00:08:42.260 It's like a vegan opening their argument by saying,

00:08:45.400 it's obvious that animals don't have rights.

00:08:49.400 Really?

00:08:50.580 Is that obvious to you?

00:08:53.000 She just destroyed basically her entire ideological project in one sentence.

00:08:58.200 Now, it's not to say that her statement is incorrect in a vacuum.

00:09:01.180 The idea is that whatever a doctor wants to do,

00:09:03.720 ultimately doctors are subordinate to the power of the government.

00:09:07.220 If the voters in a state pass a law that restricts doctors in some way

00:09:11.000 in order to protect the public, then the doctors have to abide by that. Doctors are subordinate to

00:09:16.140 the ability of the state to keep the public safe. And that's what she's saying. It's a very broad

00:09:20.180 principle. As she says, it's a very traditional principle. And she opens her dissent with it.

00:09:27.600 And it's obviously not an unreasonable position by itself. The problem is that in every other

00:09:31.840 major case that's dealt with anything medical, Ketanji Brown-Jackson has taken the exact

00:09:38.060 opposite position. She clearly does not actually believe the principle that state power or the

00:09:43.700 will of the voters trumps the opinions of the doctors always. You know, when it comes to

00:09:49.140 abortion, for example, Jackson doesn't care about what the government or the voters want.

00:09:54.060 She thinks it should be available on demand. The government shouldn't interfere with health

00:09:58.720 care decisions. I mean, this is the mantra trumpeted constantly for decades by Ketanja

00:10:04.640 Brown-Jackson and her left-wing counterparts. She definitely doesn't think that the state

00:10:09.680 police power should override the woman's so-called right to murder her child. Or maybe she does.

00:10:17.360 Maybe she's finally coming out in support of a total abortion ban. I mean, based on this decision,

00:10:21.900 that's the only conclusion you could draw. On top of that, Katontja Brown-Jackson just ruled

00:10:26.580 in the Scrimetti case that people have no right to overrule the wisdom of doctors who want to

00:10:31.820 sterilize and castrate children. She agreed with Sonia Sotomayor, who said that the Tennessee's

00:10:37.700 law against child castration would cause, quote, untold harm to transgender children and the parents

00:10:42.680 and families who love them. And that was a different case with different issues. But without

00:10:47.400 a doubt, in Scrimetti, Contagio Brown-Jackson did not endorse the principle that, quote,

00:10:52.480 there is no right to practice medicine which is not subordinate to the police power of the state.

00:10:57.480 she didn't mention that principle at all she's never mentioned it

00:11:02.520 so apparently with this so-called conversion ban case we've stumbled on the one area of medicine

00:11:10.060 where according to jackson the power of the state and the voters is really really important

00:11:16.340 in every other area she doesn't care what the voters think or what lawmakers think

00:11:21.000 now already this tells you that katanja brown jackson is not a real judge she's an activist

00:11:26.200 She doesn't make rulings based on principle. She decides what outcome she wants, and then she works backwards from there. It doesn't really matter if her opinion on one case gels with what she says on other cases. It doesn't make a difference to her.

00:11:40.300 In this case, the outcome Jackson wanted is clear. She wanted the state to have the ability to regulate speech and to force people to accept trans ideology.

00:11:47.520 and don't be fooled by the fact that this case is about therapy the first amendment applies to

00:11:52.260 everybody not just therapists if jackson can force a therapist to endorse gender ideology

00:11:56.060 it's only a matter of time before she writes an opinion forcing everyone else to do the same

00:11:59.400 let's put this section from her dissent up on the screen just to drive that point home

00:12:04.900 jackson writes quote though these prescriptions certainly promote a certain viewpoint in this

00:12:11.400 context that alone does not suffice to establish a first amendment violation my colleagues conclusions

00:12:16.120 are puzzling, for a standards-based health care scheme cannot function unless its regulators

00:12:21.280 are permitted to choose sides. So she's just coming out and saying it. In her view, regulators

00:12:27.800 should be able to choose sides in an ideological dispute and force everyone else to agree with

00:12:34.560 them. In her view, that doesn't amount to a First Amendment violation somehow. Let's continue,

00:12:42.780 Quote, in my view, it is obvious that the minor conversion therapy law is regulating professional conduct insofar as it prohibits providing a particular therapy.

00:12:51.700 The aim of the statute is not suppressing speech.

00:12:55.800 So in other words, she's saying that even though the Colorado government is explicitly banning speech by outlawing so-called conversion therapy,

00:13:03.260 nevertheless, Colorado isn't actually suppressing speech.

00:13:06.360 And that's because, according to Katanga Brown-Jackson, the government is only banning speech in the context of some other conduct.

00:13:12.780 which is the talk therapy session.

00:13:15.080 So really, as Jackson understands the situation,

00:13:17.360 the government of Colorado is banning conduct, not speech.

00:13:21.800 She thinks the ban on speech is incidental

00:13:23.920 to the ban on conducting therapy sessions in a certain way.

00:13:28.340 Now let's think about this for a second.

00:13:31.420 Every form of speech involves some kind of conduct

00:13:34.740 in addition to the speech.

00:13:36.060 If you send an email or post a tweet,

00:13:38.480 you're engaging in both conduct and speech at the same time.

00:13:42.780 sitting in a chair, typing on a keyboard, looking at a screen on a computer or on your phone.

00:13:48.120 All of that behavior amounts to conduct that's occurring alongside your speech.

00:13:53.640 Speech is conduct.

00:13:54.860 But by the same token, if you go to a protest and wave a sign around,

00:13:58.380 you're engaging in both speech and conduct.

00:14:01.420 You're saying things, but you're also waving a sign.

00:14:03.580 You're walking down the sidewalk and so on.

00:14:06.920 And this goes for all forms of speech.

00:14:08.360 If you go out in public and yell and scream psychotically

00:14:10.780 and someone says that they disapprove of your conduct, it wouldn't make any sense to reply,

00:14:15.180 but I wasn't engaging in conduct. I was only engaging in speech. Speech is conduct.

00:14:21.560 And under Contagio Brown's Jackson's understanding, all speech could be banned as a kind of conduct.

00:14:28.260 But if you have an IQ above room temperature, then you understand how absurd this is.

00:14:31.720 There needs to be some limiting principle. And as luck would have it, over the past 50 years,

00:14:36.620 courts have established exactly what these limiting principles are. And those limiting

00:14:40.540 principles in general go like this. Whenever the government wants to ban speech, it cannot

00:14:46.000 discriminate against a particular viewpoint while allowing others. Additionally, the government

00:14:51.280 can't ban speech at all unless it's closely related to some kind of unlawful conduct beyond

00:14:56.860 the speech itself. So for example, if the government passes a law that says no one can participate in

00:15:01.540 a loud protest in the suburbs after midnight, that's obviously completely fine. The government

00:15:07.800 is not discriminating against any particular viewpoint. Instead, they're shutting down all

00:15:12.820 expressions of viewpoints in that form at that time in that context. They're doing it for a

00:15:17.700 very important reason. A protest after 3 a.m. in the suburbs is very closely related to the

00:15:22.900 separate crime of disorderly conduct, protesting without a permit, and so on.

00:15:28.240 So, in that case, someone could be prosecuted for creating a disturbance.

00:15:35.000 That's very different from saying that the government will only allow, say, pro-BLM or pro-trans protests after 3 a.m.

00:15:43.740 That'd be a very different situation.

00:15:46.760 To say no one can protest loudly at 3 a.m. is one thing.

00:15:50.020 To say you can only protest after 3 a.m. if you're saying this, this, and this.

00:15:53.800 and that latter scenario is analogous to what colorado was trying to do here this is all very

00:16:02.120 basic stuff again this was an eight eight to one decision for a reason but the more you read

00:16:07.240 jackson's opinion the more problems you find so let's continue with her reasoning or lack thereof

00:16:11.320 uh she uh she writes quote the medical community has determined that efforts to change a patient's

00:16:17.100 sexual orientation or gender identity will necessarily be ineffective the american

00:16:20.900 Psychological Association, for example, has found no empirical evidence that providing any type of

00:16:25.580 therapy in childhood can alter adult same-sex sexual orientation, and no research has been

00:16:30.520 published in the peer-reviewed literature that demonstrates the efficacy of conversion therapy

00:16:34.420 efforts with gender minority youth, nor any benefits of such interventions to children and

00:16:40.140 their families. Now, notice what's happening here. She's saying that because the left-wing

00:16:44.660 medical groups haven't written a study that specifically states that it will help children

00:16:49.560 if you tell them the truth about gender, therefore we should not allow counselors to tell the

00:16:55.140 children the truth about their gender. But here's the thing. There's no need for a study in this

00:17:01.560 case, one way or another. It doesn't matter if researchers at the Berkeley Trans Factory

00:17:06.000 claim to discover that children become unhappy when doctors tell them the truth. The emotional

00:17:12.200 response of children, regardless of what that response may be, does not override the First

00:17:17.160 Amendment, nor does it override the responsibility of a health care practitioner to do the right

00:17:22.640 thing and tell the truth. Now, of course, we have plenty of evidence, not to mention common

00:17:28.720 sense, which tells us that it's a terrible idea, actually, to affirm the delusions of children.

00:17:33.460 The ACLU's lawyer had to admit last year before the Supreme Court that they have precisely zero

00:17:38.580 evidence that so-called gender-affirming care actually reduces suicide rates, even though

00:17:44.440 they constantly claim otherwise. But again, whatever data or study you come up with,

00:17:49.860 the truth is what matters. And in a free country, no one can be forced to affirm a lie, period.

00:17:58.060 Now, we all know what's going on here with this dissent. This is yet another attempt, one of many,

00:18:02.240 to give the so-called experts a veto power over what Americans are allowed to say out loud. First

00:18:07.460 of all, even if the experts were always right about everything, which they aren't, this whole

00:18:11.880 line of argument is un-American and unconstitutional. So-called experts don't get to force other

00:18:17.080 people to agree with them, which is what this law attempts to do. And as we all know, these experts

00:18:21.000 are some of the most corrupt, least trustworthy people on the planet. Last year, as you may

00:18:25.840 remember, the Daily Wire published footage of a private video call featuring the president of the

00:18:29.680 AMA, which is a leading medical association on the planet. And in that call, the president of the AMA

00:18:36.640 made it very clear that the organization is basically a rubber stamp for other smaller

00:18:41.680 organizations. They're not actually vetting anything. They'll endorse so-called trans

00:18:47.120 medicine, and then when they're asked about it, they'll claim total ignorance.

00:18:53.160 And when the president of the AMA was informed that these smaller organizations, organizations

00:18:57.300 the AMA is relying on, are staffed by extremely biased activists, he just simply didn't care.

00:19:03.500 I won't go through everything else in Jackson's dissent, but I did want to mention this one paragraph as well, because it actually approaches an intelligent argument from Ketanji Brown Jackson.

00:19:13.140 And for that reason alone, it's historic. Maybe the first time. So we need to talk about it.

00:19:18.840 Quote, when a state establishes a standard of care or punishes a doctor for providing care outside of that standard, it necessarily limits what medical professionals can say and do on the basis of viewpoint.

00:19:29.900 A state can prohibit the administration of specific drugs, particular medical uses, but not for others.

00:19:34.920 So, too, may it prohibit a doctor from encouraging a patient to commit suicide.

00:19:41.380 Now, she's actually right there, at least in part.

00:19:44.200 It's true that the government can punish doctors who encourage patients to commit suicide and, well, unless we're talking about euthanasia, in which case they're allowed to.

00:19:56.420 But, you know, in outside of that context, they're not allowed to.

00:20:01.560 And at some level, that does count as a restriction on the free speech rights of these medical professionals.

00:20:07.720 but there's a very big difference between that situation and Colorado's ban on so-called

00:20:14.420 conversion therapy. Colorado was attempting to force counselors in their official capacity

00:20:18.960 to lie to their patients and to claim that gender ideology was settled science.

00:20:24.860 Colorado was forcing doctors to take a specific position on a contested issue and calling it a

00:20:30.300 contested issue as being very generous to the pro-trans side. It's actually not contested at

00:20:35.440 all by reasonable people. On the other hand, in Kataja Brown-Jackson's example, doctors are

00:20:40.080 telling patients to harm themselves. In other words, they're encouraging patients to commit a

00:20:45.200 crime, and that kind of speech can be regulated for the same reason that I'd get in trouble if I

00:20:49.800 told all my viewers to go commit a crime. Again, unless I'm a leftist, in which case you're

00:20:57.160 basically allowed to do that, but technically under the law, you can't. So it falls under a

00:21:02.020 very narrow category of speech, which is incitement to violence. It makes sense for the medical

00:21:07.320 profession to restrict doctors from encouraging their patients to commit violence against others

00:21:14.060 or themselves. That should be restricted much more than it is. This probably seems logical to

00:21:22.180 you or me, but for Kaji Brown Jackson, who spends most of her time on Broadway or at the Grammys,

00:21:26.720 logic is irrelevant. And for that reason alone, Republicans should impeach her. AOC tried to

00:21:33.820 impeach Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito, even though they're obviously competent and accomplished

00:21:39.280 justices. She introduced articles of impeachment and everything because they went on some vacations

00:21:44.640 with their rich friends. And if that's the standard, then by tomorrow morning, Republicans

00:21:49.760 should introduce articles of impeachment against Kentonji Brown-Jackson. She was nominated for a

00:21:55.140 Grammy, supposedly because of her audio book. We all know the actual reason. That's a pretty big

00:22:00.780 gift from some pretty rich friends in the entertainment industry. You can make an

00:22:08.060 argument based on that. But really, the reason to impeach Jackson is that she's totally mentally

00:22:15.000 incompetent. She's dangerously stupid. She's not even attempting to be honest or fair in her

00:22:22.840 rulings. We could go through her entire career and establish easily, as we've done in the past,

00:22:26.820 that she's grossly unfit and unqualified for the job she has. But really, all we need is this

00:22:35.100 ruling. A woman who believes that therapists should be forced by law to lie to confuse children

00:22:42.640 is not suited for the Supreme Court or any other prominent position in society. She rejects the

00:22:48.500 constitution. She rejects common sense. She's either insane, you know, to, to rule this way

00:22:56.120 or try to rule this way to dissent means you're either insane or you're pretending to be.

00:23:03.180 And I mean like actually mentally insane. And in either case, she should not be on the court.

00:23:11.540 And, and there's a much better argument for impeaching her than there ever was for

00:23:15.200 impeaching Clarence Thomas. That's for certain. And once we're done impeaching her, we need to

00:23:21.000 have a serious conversation about retirements. Now that we're on the subject of the Supreme

00:23:25.120 Court, Clarence Thomas is 77. Samuel Alito is 75 or 76, around there. John Roberts is 71.

00:23:34.240 All three of them should give serious consideration to stepping down right now.

00:23:39.300 And that's not because they're bad at their jobs, except for John Roberts.

00:23:42.860 Clarence Thomas, one of the greatest Supreme Court justices of all time.

00:23:46.080 He's a brilliant man and a good man.

00:23:49.120 It'd be a shame to see him go.

00:23:51.340 I admire him a lot, but he will go one way or another sooner rather than later.

00:23:58.240 He's mortal, as all human beings are, and he's getting very old.

00:24:03.360 And if Democrats retake the Senate in November, then we'll have no chance to replace them with conservatives.

00:24:08.440 There's a very real possibility that Democrats take the Senate this year and then the White House in 2028.

00:24:13.900 And if that happens, it would be catastrophic.

00:24:17.760 If that happens, Democrats might be able to swap three conservative justices for three leftists.

00:24:24.300 Which would swing the balance of power on the court for generations to come.

00:24:31.440 Thomas Alito and Roberts know all this.

00:24:33.700 You know, they saw what happened with Ruth Bader Ginsburg after she clung to power for a bit too long.

00:24:39.800 And that was bad news for the left.

00:24:42.240 Good news for the country.

00:24:44.320 Well, if this country is going to survive, we simply can't have any more Ketanji Brown Jacksons on the court.

00:24:50.600 That's what's at stake here.

00:24:52.820 Imagine a court with not one Ketanji Brown Jackson, but four of them.

00:24:58.720 Birthright citizenship is the next big topic this court is going to decide.

00:25:01.800 They're hearing arguments today.

00:25:03.700 So that could be the single most important case in American history. It could be the case that

00:25:07.920 allows America to remove the foreigners who have invaded this country and prevent them from coming

00:25:13.340 back. It could restore America to Americans, or it could do exactly the opposite, depending on how

00:25:20.760 it goes. So we simply can't tolerate any more radical far-left insane justices who are selected

00:25:28.480 solely because of their race and gender. It would inflict far too much damage on the country.

00:25:33.700 so as soon as possible, we need to give the White House the opportunity to replace at least some

00:25:39.180 of these old conservative justices with three young ones. Strategically, I don't think there's

00:25:44.500 any argument against it strategically. We have the power to do that right now.

00:25:51.420 We either take advantage of that opportunity or we don't, and if we don't, we're going to pay for it.

00:25:57.880 And after reading this latest dissent from Ketaji Brown Jackson, it's hard to imagine

00:26:01.660 that every conservative on the Supreme Court, everybody in the White House, isn't thinking

00:26:07.420 the same thing. Now let's get to our five headlines. Businesses have always been the

00:26:17.780 backbone of this country, yet in America today, owning a business feels like a constant uphill

00:26:22.660 battle. Banks push paperwork, investors chase fads, and people with real drive are told to

00:26:28.380 play it safe. We need more people willing to take ownership of their lives to build and grow

00:26:32.880 something real. That's exactly what our sponsor Cardiff exists. There are almost 36 million small

00:26:38.360 businesses across this country and over 70% say they need extra capital every single year just

00:26:43.740 to keep up. Meanwhile, small business revenue is hitting record highs, but big banks are tightening

00:26:48.460 the screws, approving fewer loans than ever. The typical business funding process can take anywhere

00:26:52.980 from weeks to months. It's counterproductive to pursuing entrepreneurship. Luckily, you can go

00:26:58.260 Go to cardiff.co slash waltz for up to $500,000 in same-day funding and skip the delays.

00:27:04.000 Cardiff is the largest privately held small business lender in America.

00:27:08.920 They've funded over $12 billion since 2004.

00:27:12.260 Their application takes less than five minutes, and there's no hit to your personal credit.

00:27:16.280 Whether you're expanding your shop, hiring help, or buying inventory in bulk, you decide how to use the money, not anybody else.

00:27:22.860 Banks try to lock out small businesses.

00:27:24.480 Cardiff has the key.

00:27:25.500 big banks may not want to approve your business loans, but Cardiff does. If you've been in business

00:27:30.820 for at least a year and are pulling in $20,000 a month in revenue, apply now for up to $500,000

00:27:36.500 in same-day business funding at cardiff.co slash Walsh. Again, that's cardiff.co slash Walsh.

00:27:42.960 Real growth, fast funding. Cardiff. Borrow better. Some political news to start with.

00:27:49.100 christy noem's cross-dressing husband that's the political news uh it was reported by the daily

00:27:55.660 mail that christy noem's husband brian who by the way by the way spells his name b-r-y-o-n

00:28:02.420 which might still be the most offensive thing about him uh but brian has a bimbo-fication

00:28:10.520 fetish and likes to wear women's clothes and fake breasts apparently allegedly i guess allegedly

00:28:18.380 I mean, the photos are all over the place.

00:28:20.040 So here's the latest from the New York Post.

00:28:22.880 Former Department of Homeland Security Chief Christy Noem is devastated by salacious allegations

00:28:27.980 that her husband, Brian, lives a double life where he cross-dresses and chats online with fetish models.

00:28:35.260 Miss Noem is devastated.

00:28:36.380 The family was blindsided by this, and they asked for privacy and prayers at this time.

00:28:40.180 Noem's representative has told the Post.

00:28:42.200 According to Daily Mail, Brian Noem chatted up women from the so-called bimbofication fetish scene.

00:28:47.660 which is a thing I didn't know existed, but now I do, and so do you,

00:28:53.640 in which adult performers augment their breasts in massive amounts of saline

00:28:57.420 to achieve a Barbie doll-like appearance,

00:29:00.100 citing hundreds of messages reportedly sent by three women from the scene.

00:29:03.940 Gnome's husband enthusiastically praised their heavily augmented appearance

00:29:06.800 and proclaimed that he coveted huge, huge, ridiculous boobs.

00:29:12.540 And then another one he appears to have put balloons in his shirt

00:29:15.520 to mimic comically oversized lopsided breasts. Um, and, uh, I think we have those photos. We

00:29:23.700 don't really need to see them, but we have, okay. So there they are on the screen there.

00:29:28.600 Uh, just, you know, just so you know what we're talking about. He, uh, he, he looks like Barbie

00:29:34.920 if Barbie was your 55 year old uncle and he uses balloons for fake breasts. Okay. We can take

00:29:41.360 take this off the screen. That's fine. Um, uses balloons for the fake press. How does that work?

00:29:49.140 What goes into that? That's the part that confuses me the most.

00:29:55.220 Like you see the pictures and okay, this is a crazy weird person.

00:30:00.540 So you kind of, you kind of like, I have a category for that. I get that there are crazy

00:30:04.760 weird people out there. There's a lot of them. And so like, okay, but then you think about the

00:30:11.460 whole, what goes into the, I mean, you got to go get balloons. Does he get in his car?

00:30:21.700 This is like a normal guy in his fifties wearing normal clothes, gets in his car,

00:30:25.640 drives to Party City, purchases a pack of balloons, takes them home, blows them up,

00:30:34.760 It's this whole process.

00:30:36.320 There's a lot of like forethought that has to go into it.

00:30:40.560 What goes through your head during that whole process?

00:30:44.280 Don't you stop at any point?

00:30:46.780 Maybe while you're in line.

00:30:47.920 What about when you're standing in line at Party City and you've got a pack of balloons

00:30:52.920 and there's a woman ahead of you in line buying frozen themed paper plates with Elsa

00:30:59.820 for her eight-year-old girl's birthday party?

00:31:02.400 don't you stop and think what am i doing what am i doing who why am i doing this what kind of

00:31:11.420 person am i what am i doing here when you're what when you're leaving the store don't you catch your

00:31:17.900 reflection in the in the door and just stop and look at it for a second and think who who what

00:31:23.720 what are you doing? Apparently not. So, so this is the news. This is the news in America circa

00:31:33.020 2026. Um, and we got to talk about the news. So I'll just say a few things about this. First of

00:31:38.000 all, uh, Christy Noem says she's devastated by the allegations. She's shocked by them.

00:31:43.180 Maybe she is. I don't know. I will say that Noem, uh, allegedly,

00:31:48.680 allegedly has been having an affair with Corey Lewandowski very openly for a long time now.

00:31:55.160 They're not secretive about it. It's right out in the open. It's so out in the open that even

00:31:59.140 I heard about it a while ago. And I'm not plugged in at all in DC. Nobody talks to me. I don't know

00:32:06.280 anybody. I'm not at any of the parties or events or anything. I have no friends over there at all,

00:32:12.360 at all. And everyone in this space is constantly talking about it. I heard from my sources. I

00:32:18.300 don't have any sources. I don't want them. But even I somehow heard this. It made it all the

00:32:24.080 way down to me. So, you know, they're not really trying to hide it, allegedly. They're always

00:32:29.740 together. I mean, Noam just got fired and she was given some other basically symbolic role

00:32:34.260 doing something. Now she's off in a foreign country. And Lewandowski apparently came with

00:32:38.640 her and is still hanging out with her. So if she's having an open affair, that doesn't prove

00:32:43.760 that she knew about her husband's proclivities, but it does indicate an extremely dysfunctional

00:32:48.080 home life. And the idea that she was totally shocked to find out that her husband is into

00:32:52.020 weird sex stuff is, to me, not very credible. It just isn't. You got to be honest about it.

00:32:59.240 And this goes to show why people with dysfunctional lives should not be in positions of

00:33:03.920 political leadership. And I've always said that. I've never been one of these people that says,

00:33:09.880 oh, your personal life is your personal life. No, it's not. Not necessarily. If you can't keep your

00:33:15.180 own personal life together, if you can't even keep your own personal life in a state that

00:33:18.880 is not a total freak show, then you shouldn't be leading anything.

00:33:23.220 I've never agreed with the idea that the personal lives of our leaders are somehow irrelevant

00:33:26.980 or none of our business. I've never agreed with that.

00:33:31.980 There are people who have an enormous amount of control over our lives,

00:33:35.060 for better or worse, usually for worse.

00:33:38.960 Noam was the head of DHS. That's an extremely powerful position to hold.

00:33:43.780 While she was in that position, she was one of the most powerful people in the world.

00:33:50.540 And so, yeah, your general character, the state of your personal life, your general sort of competence and clarity of thought and of action, all of those things matter.

00:34:01.660 And no, again, I wouldn't blame her for the fact that her husband is into this weird, degenerate stuff, but allegedly she's also in this open affair.

00:34:10.880 It's just weird and dysfunctional.

00:34:13.900 It's just the whole thing is weird.

00:34:15.420 Your husband's off doing this, and you're hanging out with this guy.

00:34:18.840 You're having an opener like everyone knows.

00:34:20.100 You're not even ashamed of it.

00:34:21.580 And it's just weird and bizarre.

00:34:25.360 We don't need that in leadership.

00:34:28.400 Find people who are not in really weird, awful situations.

00:34:32.500 It shouldn't be that hard.

00:34:33.800 now all of that said it's very interesting to see the reaction to this story

00:34:41.720 the media is reporting on it gleefully everybody on the left talking about it mocking this guy

00:34:47.320 calling him a cross-dresser that's interesting to me because like apparently you're allowed to

00:34:53.260 mock cross-dressers again that's a new development that's very new because i saw those pictures and

00:35:01.120 I was grossed out and nauseated, but as everybody was, but that's always been my position when it

00:35:06.340 comes to cross-dressing men. I've always thought that it's weird and disgusting, but I thought for

00:35:11.000 the left and the media, this is something you're supposed to celebrate and take seriously.

00:35:17.380 Why isn't the New York Times running any articles applauding Brian Noem for his bravery

00:35:23.400 in living his true identity? Why aren't they telling us in a really inspiring way about

00:35:31.000 his trips to Party City to buy his balloons that he turns into fake breasts. This is an expression

00:35:37.120 of his inner self or something, isn't it? Isn't this what you guys always tell us?

00:35:42.300 Why aren't left-wing influencers speaking up about the horrific transphobia being directed

00:35:46.680 at this man or this woman? I don't know. Maybe he's actually a woman. I mean, suddenly they're

00:35:53.480 acting like it's... Suddenly, they're all acting like it's ridiculous for a man to dress like a

00:36:00.220 woman. They're all acting like that sight that we all, that I just forced you to see is absurd,

00:36:07.140 ludicrous. As if the very sight of such a thing is farcical. They're acting like a man with fake

00:36:16.400 breasts is some kind of sideshow circus act, some kind of freak show for us to point and laugh at.

00:36:21.940 which, sure, I agree, but I seem to remember the previous administration

00:36:32.060 had a middle-aged man with fake breasts and long hair running HHS.

00:36:38.800 I mean, at least Brian Noem is doing this, he thought, in private.

00:36:47.860 He thought not forcing the rest of us to see it.

00:36:51.940 quote-unquote Rachel Levine was out in public is forcing everyone to see it I seem to remember

00:36:59.020 in fact multiple such men in positions of leadership in the White House and at the time

00:37:04.520 it was something we were told to take seriously when quote-unquote Rachel Levine played out his

00:37:10.120 fetish in public we were supposed to nod solemnly and and say yes this this is normal this is totally

00:37:19.380 healthy. When Levine walks around with the fake breasts and the ridiculous wig and the dress and

00:37:25.900 everything, we were supposed to go, this is very normal. This is all totally healthy and fine.

00:37:33.920 In fact, it's so normal that this person should be in charge of health. This person should be

00:37:38.160 in charge of public health for everybody. That's how normal and good and amazing it is.

00:37:44.020 and now suddenly out of nowhere it's uh making fun of cross-dressers is back on the menu

00:37:53.880 okay

00:37:56.200 okay i mean for some of us it was never off the menu but okay if this is if this is like

00:38:05.660 where we are collectively fine but that's going to apply to everybody

00:38:10.220 It's not just going to apply to Brian Noem

00:38:14.500 I mean we have a member of Congress

00:38:19.080 In office right now

00:38:20.580 Doing exactly this

00:38:23.220 We have a member of Congress

00:38:25.720 In the Democrat Party

00:38:26.780 Right now

00:38:28.880 Who's doing the exact same thing

00:38:30.580 That Brian Noem is doing

00:38:32.020 Walking around

00:38:33.340 Playing out his fetish in public

00:38:34.800 Pretending to be a woman

00:38:37.180 Fake breasts

00:38:37.880 The whole thing

00:38:40.220 I mean, he might use slightly smaller balloons for his fake womanly figure, but it's just as ridiculous.

00:38:54.520 So, back on the menu, and that's how it's going to be now.

00:38:59.460 Sounds good to me. I'm on board.

00:40:13.180 Let's see. ABC News reports the Trump administration must restore the legal status of potentially hundreds of thousands of immigrants who came to the United States illegally through a Biden era pathway.

00:40:24.840 Federal judge ruled on Tuesday, U.S. District Judge Allison Burroughs said the Department of Homeland Security acted unlawfully last year when it sent a notice telling many of the over 900,000 immigrants who use the CBP one.

00:40:36.740 app, it's time for you to leave the United States. During the Biden administration, nearly,

00:40:40.720 uh, nearly over 900, what? Nearly over 900,000 immigrants. What kind of,

00:40:48.500 what kind of sentence is that? Nearly over, nearly over 900,000 immigrants. I don't want

00:40:56.080 to get hung up on it, but this is, do they have editors anymore working for these sites?

00:41:00.840 I read so many news articles a day and they just, the editors are gone. No one's editing anything

00:41:05.800 anymore. There are no standards when it comes to news reporting. And I'm not just talking about

00:41:10.540 the bias in the reporting. I'm talking about the way that it's delivered. The writing is terrible.

00:41:17.940 Nearly over 900. So you're saying it was less than 900,000? Less than 900,000 becomes nearly

00:41:24.460 over 900,000. Well, okay, sure. I mean, yeah, technically, but that's a weird way of putting it.

00:41:29.140 Anyway, 900,000 immigrants use the app to make appointments with immigration officials at Ports

00:41:35.720 of entry in hope of later applying for humanitarian parole or other forms of immigration relief that

00:41:41.180 would allow them to enter the country. Those who were granted parole were allowed to temporarily

00:41:45.160 receive work authorization while their cases were adjudicated. Then Trump came in and

00:41:51.060 undid a lot of that and apparently repurposed the app primarily to allow migrants to self-deport,

00:41:59.640 which is great so this app that was made to create a quote pathway for illegal aliens

00:42:06.260 was then flipped by trump so that now it's a self-deportation app so just to translate this

00:42:12.280 into english what happened was this the biden administration gave illegal aliens a quote

00:42:15.920 pathway that required them just to press a button basically on an app trump administration came in

00:42:21.760 and said that's insane and revoked it because it is insane and now a federal judge a female judge

00:42:29.120 as always has, or as almost always, has declared that this magical app, which has existed for 10

00:42:36.700 seconds, is now a constitutionally mandated part of the immigration system, and it must exist

00:42:42.560 forever. Once the federal government does something, it has to always do it forever, always.

00:42:48.500 It's never allowed to not do it, even if it's crazy. That's the position of the judiciary now.

00:42:55.540 The moment the federal government starts doing something, you can never not do it.

00:43:00.160 It's always now you have to do it.

00:43:02.120 So if the Biden administration had come in, which they basically did, and had said that,

00:43:07.500 okay, we're going to give free gift baskets with fruit and candy and Amazon gift cards

00:43:13.040 to every illegal alien who crosses the border, that would mean that every administration

00:43:18.420 after them forever, until the end of time, must also give the gift baskets.

00:43:23.440 The moment the government does something, it mystically transforms into a human right, a constitutional right. The moment it happens, it must always happen forever. And if it stops happening, then it becomes a infringement on everybody. That's the ruling. And that's been the consistent ruling of the judiciary through Trump's whole turn.

00:43:46.320 Every ruling has basically been some female judge

00:43:51.120 Saying, oh no, you know

00:43:52.040 You see, the government did this thing in the past

00:43:54.300 So it has to always do it

00:43:56.160 For infinity years

00:43:58.340 The government did this thing

00:44:01.200 For one year

00:44:02.680 And so now it has to do it for infinity years

00:44:05.000 And then the Trump administration will argue back

00:44:08.740 And say, well, but that thing is insane

00:44:10.260 That's a crazy thing

00:44:12.080 And the judge says

00:44:14.320 Yeah, but you gotta do it

00:44:16.320 I can't even argue that it's not insane.

00:44:18.580 You just have to do it.

00:44:21.080 It's in the Constitution.

00:44:23.460 But where is it in the Constitution?

00:44:24.860 What are you talking about?

00:44:25.600 Never mind the Constitution.

00:44:26.940 Why are we talking about that?

00:44:29.260 That's how the conversation goes.

00:44:30.680 And of course, the argument from the judge,

00:44:34.000 to the extent any argument is made,

00:44:35.340 is totally indefensible and wrong.

00:44:39.100 If anyone should have been shut down by a judicial ruling,

00:44:41.720 it should have been Biden.

00:44:42.740 The initial thing itself, the app,

00:44:46.320 used to create a pathway for illegal aliens, that should have been shut down because the

00:44:50.840 president does not have the authority on his own to just go out and open up new paths to citizenship

00:44:57.700 for illegal aliens. And that's not up for debate, okay? That's not a constitutional power the

00:45:03.440 executive branch has. The president can't just say, hey, here's a button to press and you'll

00:45:08.300 magically be a citizen. But rather than shut down that unconstitutional usurpation of, you know,

00:45:16.320 authority that should rest rightly with the legislature. Instead, the judge is

00:45:21.840 shutting down Trump's attempt to rectify it. And this is why the judiciary,

00:45:29.320 staying with the theme of today, the judiciary, this is the real war that we should be having

00:45:38.000 with the out-of-control, unhinged, lawless judiciary. The judiciary has collapsed.

00:45:45.320 It has slid into psychosis.

00:45:48.960 It's going to destroy the country.

00:45:50.560 It's going to bring down our whole system of government.

00:45:52.420 These judges are doing whatever they want.

00:45:54.000 They're claiming absolute power over the country,

00:45:56.680 claiming the power of both the other branches of government for itself,

00:46:02.320 illegally, unconstitutionally foisting their left-wing radicalism onto the country,

00:46:06.920 undercutting the executive branch, undercutting the legislative branch.

00:46:10.420 Random whack jobs in black robes are sitting on their benches and saying,

00:46:14.020 well, I personally would prefer if things were this way, and so they have to be, and you all

00:46:19.040 have to listen. And for some reason, the Trump administration is still basically listening to

00:46:24.180 them. I mean, arguing with them, but still listening. It is way, way past time to go to

00:46:33.340 war with them. And the way to do that, I'm not talking about a physical shooting war. I'm talking

00:46:40.060 about the judiciary announces something like this and you just ignore it. Pretend they don't exist

00:46:48.060 because they don't. The judiciary basically doesn't exist anymore as a functioning part

00:46:55.180 of the government. It's just a bunch of random judges who are completely out of control, have

00:47:00.900 lost their minds, and have declared that this is the real coup. They are taking over the country

00:47:09.440 and claiming absolute authority and power

00:47:11.200 and claiming that there's not a single thing

00:47:14.040 a president can do that they can't override.

00:47:18.220 I mean, the judiciary is claiming

00:47:19.280 that they've decided that in their version

00:47:21.640 of the constitution,

00:47:23.180 the judiciary has an automatic veto

00:47:25.300 over everything that happens.

00:47:27.800 Any law, any executive action,

00:47:30.380 any action at all taken by a president

00:47:32.060 or anyone else in government,

00:47:33.760 the judiciary has an automatic veto over all of it.

00:47:37.540 and just so you know that is not actually how our system of government is set up

00:47:43.260 and um so we're way past time where the only solution is just to ignore these people

00:47:51.420 all right you probably saw this picture making the rounds this week speaking of disturbing pictures

00:47:56.800 um here's uh and speaking of people who are in the closet allegedly this is lindsey graham the

00:48:06.100 biggest cheerleader for the Iran war, walking around Disney World with a bubble wand.

00:48:12.580 Let's hope that's a bubble wand. I mean, there's only a few things that can be, and let's hope

00:48:17.680 it's that. And this is how he spent this past weekend. He went to visit Disney World, even

00:48:21.380 though he's a childless, elderly man. The photo was taken by TMZ, which documented Graham's trip

00:48:27.360 to Disney World. And this is what he was doing, even as the country's in the middle of multiple

00:48:32.780 crises. DHS still not funded. TSA problem has not been solved. The SAVE Act has not been passed.

00:48:38.900 And Congress is on vacation, having the time of their lives.

00:48:43.560 Graham decided to go to Disney World, which to begin with, you know how I feel about that.

00:48:48.180 Adults without children should not even be allowed on the premises.

00:48:52.780 And that's an easy thing to enforce. When an adult shows up at the gates of Disney World,

00:48:57.780 there should be someone there saying, hey, where's your, oh, where's your, welcome to

00:49:01.120 Disney World, where's your kid? What kid are you with? Oh, I'm not with a kid. Oh, well, then you

00:49:04.700 can leave, freak. That's what they should say. That should be in the handbook for Disney employees.

00:49:11.900 That exactly, that's what you're mandated to say. You can leave, freak. It's weird.

00:49:19.860 Like, why would you as an adult with no kids, why would you go to Disney World? It just is weird.

00:49:24.320 And I don't want to get sidetracked here, but why would anyone do this? Like, put Lindsey

00:49:30.500 grand to the side for a second. Talking about Disney adults in general, as I had plenty of

00:49:34.340 times, I saw a clip last week and I didn't even, I was going to bring it up and I didn't because

00:49:39.640 you know, there were more important things, but I saw a clip last week since we're on the subject.

00:49:46.000 It was some kind of bluey attraction at Disney world or Disneyland, one of the two. And they

00:49:51.360 have some kind of bluey thing. It was like a show. I think it was a live show, a live bluey show.

00:49:56.320 and somebody took a video of the audience, mostly adults, mostly adults at the Bluey show

00:50:05.740 at Disney. Now, a number of those adults obviously were with kids, but it didn't seem like they all

00:50:11.920 were. Imagine being an adult without a child and actually paying for a ticket to go watch a live

00:50:18.660 performance of Bluey at Disney. And, you know, some people defended. I saw people saying, oh,

00:50:24.800 but Louie's a good show, and it has humor aimed at adults, too.

00:50:29.040 Yeah, it's a good show for kids.

00:50:32.200 And the humor is specifically aimed at adults who have kids

00:50:36.620 and are watching it with their kids.

00:50:40.760 It's not for you if you have no kids.

00:50:42.700 If you have no kids, it's not for you, and you're an adult.

00:50:45.820 Okay? This is not for you.

00:50:47.680 This is for parents.

00:50:48.680 Like, the humor is very specifically for parents.

00:50:54.800 Stop appropriating our culture.

00:50:58.660 Okay, our culture is not your costume.

00:51:02.200 I like Bluey too as a parent.

00:51:04.020 You know, I can sit with my kids and watch an episode

00:51:05.760 and not want to drive a fork directly through my eyeballs

00:51:09.700 because that's where the bar is with children's entertainment

00:51:12.820 and it doesn't have that effect on me.

00:51:15.740 I'm not going to sit in my living room by myself

00:51:17.720 with no kids around and watch it though.

00:51:20.980 I mean, I kind of enjoy the quiet at night

00:51:23.160 after all the kids are in bed

00:51:24.400 and a lot of times the wife goes to bed before me.

00:51:27.240 And so I have some quiet time to myself.

00:51:31.800 It would be, and usually I'll like read a book or something.

00:51:36.220 I cannot even imagine.

00:51:37.800 I have that time to myself.

00:51:38.980 I go in the living room and I turn on Bluey.

00:51:41.140 If my kids came out and just saw me watching Bluey by myself,

00:51:45.380 they would flee the house.

00:51:48.320 Like they'd be afraid

00:51:49.080 because they would assume that I've gone insane.

00:51:51.240 They would say, oh, dad's finally lost his mind.

00:51:53.760 That has finally gone full psychotic.

00:51:57.700 And same applies to Disney and all this stuff.

00:52:00.000 This is for kids and families.

00:52:01.780 It just is.

00:52:03.500 It's not for adults without kids.

00:52:07.040 And every time I bring that up, childless adults will say,

00:52:09.500 well, I can't go to Disney.

00:52:10.780 Where am I supposed to go?

00:52:11.800 I don't know anywhere.

00:52:13.580 I don't know anywhere on the planet.

00:52:17.800 Literally anywhere.

00:52:18.780 No, we as parents and young families,

00:52:22.460 we have only a certain places we can go because we're not welcome in a lot of other places

00:52:28.940 there there are many places in society where for better or worse usually for worse young families

00:52:35.560 are not welcome and we get a lot of dirty looks and people don't want us there

00:52:39.660 so there but there are some places that are specifically for us for families

00:52:45.840 and the childless adults they show up there too and say this is this is also for me

00:52:51.820 Nothing is not for me.

00:52:53.840 I'm too important.

00:52:57.000 Now, you're at Disney World as an adult.

00:52:59.140 Okay, you obviously have disposable income.

00:53:01.260 You obviously have time off work.

00:53:04.780 You can go anywhere.

00:53:07.240 If you're in the Senate, you have 389 vacation days a year.

00:53:11.700 You have more vacation days than there are days, apparently.

00:53:15.700 So you can go anywhere and enjoy yourself.

00:53:19.180 Why would you choose a place for families?

00:53:20.780 Why would you choose in your free time to go wait in lines with a bunch of eight-year-olds?

00:53:28.660 So anyway, let's table that.

00:53:35.860 The point is that Lindsey Graham should be doing his job.

00:53:38.200 Instead, he's wandering around Disney World.

00:53:40.780 And TMZ has documented a lot of this kind of thing.

00:53:43.340 They're tracking down all of our elected representatives and finding out how they're enjoying their vacations in the middle of the shutdown.

00:53:49.260 They also have this report. U.S. Representative Seth Magaziner's leaving political drama behind during his two-week vacay, and he's replacing it with some good old-fashioned reality TV drama, partial government shutdown be damned.

00:54:02.980 The congressman from Rhode Island announced last week he'll co-host a watch party for The Real Housewives of Rhode Island, the newest edition of the long-running Bravo franchise, when the show premieres April 2nd.

00:54:15.480 again a similar question why is a grown man watching real housewives

00:54:20.660 that should be an impeachable offense already um and but but more importantly you know these people

00:54:29.180 have not done their jobs and tmz has a lot of coverage like this um members of congress you

00:54:34.620 know vacationing in scotland and other places didn't do their job and they just get to leave

00:54:40.020 they get to not do their job and just go on vacation. I mean, do you understand? I'm sure

00:54:45.960 you do understand how screwed up that is. Like to put this into perspective, I'm a podcaster.

00:54:52.340 I'm not in charge of anything. I have no power. And yet even I can't just go on vacation and leave

00:55:00.860 work undone if it needs to be done. Like I'm actually going on vacation in a couple of weeks.

00:55:04.640 I have to do extra work ahead of time and pre-record content and stuff like that so that

00:55:09.380 I can go on vacation because we're sponsors, we have financial responsibilities, and I can't just

00:55:14.260 up and leave. I can't abandon my post like that. And my post is a podcast. And yet members of

00:55:23.760 Congress can abandon theirs during a war, during a shutdown, air travel crisis, election still

00:55:30.180 unsecured. And they can just get up and leave. And then we would complain about it. They said,

00:55:36.720 what are we supposed to do? Not go on vacation? Yeah. Yeah. Actually, you should just skip

00:55:44.540 vacation. In fact, you shouldn't have any vacations at all in the first place. You barely work as it

00:55:50.540 is. How many work days a year do members of Congress even have? Now, I've had this conversation

00:56:00.160 with people in Congress and many times they'll say that, well, we get a bad rap because

00:56:05.260 if you look at our work schedule, yeah, we're only spending so much time in DC,

00:56:10.080 but the rest of the time we're in our districts. Yeah. And what are you doing there?

00:56:15.060 You're not doing anything there. You're not actually doing anything most of the time and

00:56:20.220 you know it. So you're spending most of your time, what, going to fundraisers and, you know,

00:56:28.000 sitting in meetings or whatever. You're not doing anything.

00:56:30.500 uh it's totally outrageous and that's why i'm happy that tmz is getting into the politics beat

00:56:37.560 um which apparently they've it seems like they've pivoted very hard and very kind of suddenly

00:56:42.980 into politics and uh and i think that that's a great thing and i'll tell you why it's great well

00:56:49.340 it signals two things now that you have tmz tracking down politicians tracking down random

00:56:55.380 congressmen and taking pictures of them when they're on vacation it signals two things one

00:57:00.020 of signals that hollywood is over movie stars that kind of celebrity is done because that's

00:57:07.160 obviously one of the reasons tmz is making this pivot is because nope there are no like celebrities

00:57:11.800 anyone cares about anymore and there aren't that many movie stars left and so their whole thing of

00:57:17.940 normal paparazzi deal just doesn't work anymore and so they got to find something so uh but but

00:57:25.060 then also most of these politicians get into this because they want to be famous. That's why they're

00:57:32.560 there. And so I think it's about time. Okay. You want to be famous, but here you go.

00:57:39.820 You can't complain about it and say, Oh, I'm on vacation. I'm in my personal time. Why are you

00:57:43.460 tracking me down? Hey, you want to be famous. You want to be on TV all the time. This is what you

00:57:47.720 wanted. Well, here's, here's the part, you know, there's the other part of fame that really sucks.

00:57:53.400 and now you're going to get that part too, where you don't get privacy and anything you do at any

00:57:58.600 time can be documented and potentially misconstrued and people are going to have opinions about it.

00:58:05.360 You don't have a personal life anymore. Comes with the territory. So this is what you wanted.

00:58:12.480 now you can have it all right um let's see

00:58:19.940 there's the i'll briefly mention this there's a story from last week that we never had a chance

00:58:27.360 to talk about didn't have a show on friday and we only had a preview show rebrand show last thursday

00:58:32.860 uh it's worth talking about even though it's i mean it's one of the most horrifically depressing

00:58:37.640 stories ever. And that's Noelia Ramos is the young woman in Spain who was euthanized last week,

00:58:51.000 euthanized after being injured in a gang rape attack by migrants. She was not terminally ill,

00:58:57.400 but she was injured and understandably deeply depressed. And the solution the medical industry

00:59:02.900 in spain and the spanish government came up with was to put her down like a dog and so they did and

00:59:09.140 uh here's the here's the latest new york post

00:59:14.360 noelia castillo ramos made headlines around the world when she died by euthanasia at the tender

00:59:22.140 age of just 25 on thursdays last thursday the paralyzed gang rape victim had fought her own

00:59:27.160 father for two years in a lengthy legal battle that reached the country's highest courts before

00:59:32.300 she won the right to end her own life tragically despite his unwavering determination to keep his

00:59:36.900 daughter alive uh her father had stopped calling her visiting her the days before her death

00:59:43.080 the young woman left paraplegic after a suicide attempt 2022 said in a tv interview

00:59:48.480 day hours before her death why does he want me alive just so i can stay in the hospital

00:59:52.940 and um and so the father fought to keep her alive and lost the battle so it's just it's

01:00:01.160 just horrifying beyond all comprehension. Can't even imagine what the father's going through,

01:00:05.900 standing alone in this fight to prevent his daughter from being euthanized,

01:00:09.480 having to fight the state and the doctors and everybody. And it's also impossible to imagine

01:00:15.660 what the young lady, Noelia, was experiencing. Raped by a pack of migrants, abandoned by the

01:00:21.820 institutions that should have been there to protect her, left believing that her only recourse was to

01:00:27.200 be killed, which is what should have happened to the rapist, should have been executed,

01:00:32.920 not her. I mean, this is where we are now, where rather than executing the migrant rapist,

01:00:41.380 we're executing their victims. It's so dark. It's so unfathomably awful. And in many ways,

01:00:48.340 in the darkest way, it's a perfect illustration of what's happening in the West.

01:00:52.100 A woman raped by migrants, and the only recourse, the only justice she's given is to be put down, to be killed, to be discarded, to exercise her so-called right to die.

01:01:03.180 We hear that phrase a lot, right to die.

01:01:06.540 I mean, we heard it just in that article I read.

01:01:08.920 Think about how grotesque that is, right to die.

01:01:11.080 and this is the point that if we don't as a country and a civilization unequivocally affirm

01:01:19.760 the right to live then the only other alternative is the right to die life and death i mean this is

01:01:26.520 the ultimate binary it's inescapable it's one or the other and what we're finding out is that if

01:01:31.120 you don't have the right to one you have the right to the other a right to death a right to not be

01:01:37.240 You don't have a right to be, necessarily, but you have a right to not be.

01:01:44.140 This is the alternative that we've chosen in the West.

01:01:48.320 And it's morally deranged, and it doesn't make any sense logically.

01:01:52.480 Because here's the thing about this that I always think about,

01:01:54.420 that even if I agreed that people have some kind of moral right to kill themselves,

01:01:59.940 which i don't uh euthanasia would not be needed to exercise that quote unquote right

01:02:09.100 this is the one of the aspects of this conversation that one of the many that

01:02:14.100 makes no sense and i don't hear brought up very often because there's no there's no

01:02:20.160 way to put it that isn't crude and it could be misinterpreted as though you're encouraging

01:02:26.480 people to harm themselves which you're not but it is kind of like well i have a right to commit

01:02:30.520 suicide well okay but what then why do you why do we need a whole you can already do that

01:02:38.040 that's one of the few things that anyone can do you shouldn't you can already end your own life

01:02:46.080 so if you're claiming you have a right to do it like no one can actually stop you

01:02:51.180 even when there are laws against suicide which in many in many places there are you can't really

01:02:59.880 enforce it clearly the idea that people need some kind of state-sponsored system just to commit

01:03:07.420 suicide is totally incoherent on its own terms and those terms are totally deranged because in

01:03:13.640 truth, again, there is no moral right to suicide, but that's almost a separate question, or at least

01:03:21.740 it's further downstream, because when it comes to euthanasia, the first and most immediate question

01:03:25.460 is not whether people have the right to harm themselves, which they don't.

01:03:33.380 That's not the first question. The first question is whether the state and the medical industry

01:03:37.600 have the right to intentionally harm innocent people? Should doctors be in the business of

01:03:45.720 deliberately killing humans? Should we have a bureaucracy for suicide? Those are the real

01:03:54.820 questions. And even if you, this is the point, that even if you wrongly think that humans have

01:04:01.040 a moral right to murder themselves, you should still be able to see why doctors and bureaucrats

01:04:08.900 ought to not have a role in that. And here's my other question. Again, this is the points that

01:04:19.320 are hard to make without sounding crude, but if suicide is death with dignity, which we're told

01:04:25.480 that it is, this is what they say, death with dignity. As if there's something undignified

01:04:31.920 about dying a natural death. Because if euthanasia is death with dignity, then obviously that

01:04:39.960 implies that the other kind of death is undignified. If somebody does have a terminal illness and

01:04:46.660 they die of the illness rather than ahead of time of euthanasia, it's somehow undignified.

01:04:52.840 Is that what we're saying? Apparently so. But if killing yourself is death of dignity, then how exactly is it more dignified to be put down like a dog in some sterile room under fluorescent lights after filling out paperwork than to do it yourself completely on your own terms without dragging accomplices into it

01:05:21.840 and asking for their permission ahead of time.

01:05:26.080 Now, again, I categorically, unequivocally reject the idea

01:05:29.380 that any form of suicide is dignified,

01:05:33.860 or ever okay, or ever advisable, or ever the right move.

01:05:38.680 I'm anti that in any iteration whatsoever.

01:05:44.560 I'm just pointing out that even if you accept the extraordinary premise

01:05:48.700 that suicide can be more dignified than a natural death,

01:05:52.660 it still would not follow that euthanasia should be legalized.

01:05:58.880 I mean, when you look for any kind of historical analog,

01:06:01.200 there have been, unfortunately, societies across the world,

01:06:04.720 even back in ancient times, that have believed wrongly

01:06:07.480 in committing suicide in some cases to preserve your dignity,

01:06:11.960 to preserve your honor.

01:06:13.880 That is something that has historical precedent.

01:06:17.380 It's wrong, but there's historical precedent for it.

01:06:20.980 But what you notice is that in all of those cases,

01:06:24.020 you know, Japan,

01:06:29.360 the seppuku, you know, the ritual suicide,

01:06:32.880 the thing that supposedly made it honorable

01:06:35.020 and supposedly made it dignified

01:06:36.640 was that you were doing it by your own hand

01:06:38.860 and often in a way that was deliberately more painful

01:06:43.260 than a natural death would have been.

01:06:47.560 So this, and that was wrong, but ours is the first society in history to suggest that being euthanized clinically in the exact way that stray dogs are put down and by someone else's hand, not your own, is the dignified way to go out.

01:07:08.700 We're the first ones to ever come up with that idea.

01:07:13.740 And it's incoherent.

01:07:15.420 It fails even by its own logic. And you find this with leftist ideas all the time that, you know, whether we're talking about abortion or we're talking about euthanasia or talking about transgenderism or any of their craziest and darkest and most depraved ideas, what you find is that their argument rests on a premise.

01:07:45.420 And the premise itself is wrong, but their argument is so bad that even if you accepted their premise, even if you kind of, for the sake of argument, said, okay, I'll buy that, it still would not lead you to the conclusion that they want to lead you to.

01:08:05.160 And that's the case here, where the ultimate position they're trying to justify, which is the legalized killing of patients by doctors in a manner, again, totally identical to how we put down dogs.

01:08:29.560 That's what they're trying to get. That's the position they're trying to support.

01:08:35.160 And yet this all rests on a premise that, which is that, you know, suicide is dignified sometimes.

01:08:41.920 That even if we accepted that, as crazy as that is, it still would not vindicate their actual position.

01:08:52.140 That's what we find. So they're wrong. They're so wrong that even if they were right, they'd still be wrong.

01:08:58.540 That's how wrong they are. And that will do it for the show today.

01:09:02.800 We'll leave it there. Talk to you tomorrow. Have a great day. Godspeed.

01:09:13.520 I do believe that if people have committed treason against the United States of America,

01:09:19.260 their statues should not be in the Capitol. History is written by the victors. And since

01:09:24.960 the 1960s, we've been told mostly by people whose ancestors didn't even live here during the war,

01:09:29.520 that the South committed treason.

01:09:32.600 But if the Confederates were traitors,

01:09:36.960 then why was Jefferson Davis never put on trial for treason?

01:09:41.800 What were Abraham Lincoln and Andrew Johnson afraid of?

01:09:45.440 Do they know something they're not allowed to say today?

01:09:49.360 It's time for the truth, so here it is.

01:09:51.440 Robert E. Lee was a military genius

01:09:53.360 and a man of immense honor.

01:09:55.000 He was beloved by Americans from the North and South

01:09:57.560 for a century after the war, this is the real history of the Civil War.
