This is an iHeart Podcast.
00:00:02.480
Guaranteed human.
00:00:05.500
It's Verdict Live from Arizona
00:00:08.160
at the Goldwater Institute dinner.
00:00:10.680
Welcome.
00:00:14.440
Senator, good to be with you.
00:00:16.040
We are here in Arizona.
00:00:18.000
Goldwater Institute had an amazing dinner
00:00:20.040
with an incredible crowd that many people
00:00:22.260
will hear in the background here.
00:00:23.960
Thank you guys for having us.
00:00:25.620
And we've got a lot to talk about tonight
00:00:31.020
and we're also going to get some Q&A in here
00:00:32.940
from the audience,
00:00:33.640
which is one of your favorite things to do on the road.
00:00:35.580
You love that.
00:00:36.320
Look, Ben, that's exactly right.
00:00:37.740
And let me say, Goldwater Institute
00:00:39.000
is an amazing institution.
00:00:40.820
It is the premier free market think tank in Arizona.
00:00:44.840
It has been a leading advocate for liberty
00:00:47.400
here in Arizona and across the nation.
00:00:49.920
And Goldwater in particular
00:00:51.120
has been extraordinary leading on school choice.
00:00:53.840
Arizona has been at the tip of the spear
00:00:57.000
on school choice.
00:00:59.760
They've made an incredible difference,
00:01:01.460
not just with the kids in Arizona,
00:01:03.720
but they've been a model to the entire nation.
00:01:06.200
And so you and I are proud to be here
00:01:07.840
to support the great work Goldwater does,
00:01:10.360
but also to bring this podcast to everyone here.
00:01:14.260
And as we get started,
00:01:16.260
I want to let everyone here know,
00:01:18.320
this podcast we have just under a million viewers
00:01:21.760
and listeners that listen every month
00:01:24.040
to this podcast.
00:01:25.620
On Verdict, we are beating CNN every single week.
00:01:33.560
And so every one of you,
00:01:35.280
there's a very simple path.
00:01:36.560
If you have your cell phone,
00:01:37.640
you can take your cell phone out right now.
00:01:39.920
And you can text the word Verdict
00:01:43.260
to the number 24005.
00:01:48.320
Let me give that to you again.
00:01:49.920
The number is 24005.
00:01:53.480
If you text the word Verdict,
00:01:56.060
what you will get back is a link
00:01:58.040
to subscribe to the podcast.
00:01:59.800
And I'll say something.
00:02:00.640
Which is free.
00:02:01.800
This is the best part.
00:02:02.700
And that's the point my dad,
00:02:04.320
my dad is 84 years old.
00:02:07.720
And he pointed out to me,
00:02:08.960
look, when you say subscribe,
00:02:11.200
my generation thinks you mean magazine subscriptions
00:02:13.780
and you're going to charge me.
00:02:15.560
So there ain't any cost,
00:02:17.100
but you can get it downloaded to your phone
00:02:19.240
every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
00:02:21.500
And it is a tool to give you the information
00:02:25.340
about what's happening in this country
00:02:26.780
because we know that the corporate media
00:02:29.440
is profoundly dishonest.
00:02:31.740
And this is designed to empower patriots in Arizona
00:02:35.780
and across the country
00:02:37.420
who are fighting to pull our country back.
00:02:39.900
You mentioned school of choice
00:02:41.140
and we're going to get to that.
00:02:42.080
We're also going to get some breaking news
00:02:43.540
that deals with the Supreme Court.
00:02:44.680
But before we get to that,
00:02:46.400
let's start and talk about
00:02:47.780
what's going on in Israel right now.
00:02:49.880
There has been over the last 24, 48 hours
00:02:52.500
a pretty significant shift,
00:02:54.920
especially from the media in this country
00:02:58.220
and also around the world
00:02:59.560
and more calls for a, quote,
00:03:01.660
humanitarian ceasefire.
00:03:04.040
It is frustrating when you see this
00:03:06.260
because it's clear that Israel
00:03:08.360
is having to defend itself
00:03:10.040
from these horrific terrorists.
00:03:12.460
We've heard even more about their atrocities,
00:03:14.560
including putting children in ovens,
00:03:16.380
babies in ovens that were found.
00:03:18.480
We know that they beheaded infant children.
00:03:20.900
And yet the media is now trying to put pressure,
00:03:22.820
not on the terrorists,
00:03:24.380
but on Israel to just say pause
00:03:27.240
so that many of these terrorists
00:03:28.800
would not be brought to justice,
00:03:30.220
which I think for many we agree
00:03:31.440
should be that they are taken off
00:03:33.120
the face of this earth.
00:03:39.160
Well, Ben, as you know,
00:03:40.760
this has been a battle
00:03:42.220
and it's been a battle
00:03:43.040
with the Biden administration
00:03:44.480
from the very beginning of this war.
00:03:46.160
This war began on October 7th
00:03:49.140
with a grotesque act of atrocities.
00:03:54.200
The attacks of Hamas
00:03:55.960
were the worst attacks
00:03:58.260
on the state of Israel
00:03:59.200
in over 50 years.
00:04:01.840
On October 7th,
00:04:03.180
it was the single greatest mass murder
00:04:05.540
of Jews in any single day
00:04:07.740
since the Holocaust.
00:04:10.320
And Hamas terrorists,
00:04:11.760
the death squads,
00:04:13.160
went house to house,
00:04:14.660
murdering every person in that house,
00:04:17.860
seeking out civilians,
00:04:19.660
murdering elderly people,
00:04:21.700
murdering women,
00:04:22.620
murdering children,
00:04:24.720
violently raping women
00:04:26.440
and little girls,
00:04:27.380
dragging them into the streets,
00:04:29.500
and murdering,
00:04:30.220
murdering, beheading,
00:04:31.460
and burning alive infants.
00:04:34.480
It has been sick.
00:04:36.040
It has been grotesque.
00:04:38.240
Over 1,400 Israelis
00:04:40.060
have been murdered.
00:04:40.760
Over 200 Israelis
00:04:43.120
are held hostage right now.
00:04:46.160
And not only was this
00:04:47.440
one of the worst attacks
00:04:48.580
on Israel in history,
00:04:50.020
this is also one of the worst
00:04:51.440
terrorist attacks
00:04:52.320
on the United States in history.
00:04:54.320
On that day,
00:04:55.440
31 Americans were murdered.
00:04:57.320
There are roughly
00:04:57.840
a dozen Americans
00:04:59.360
that are held hostage right now.
00:05:01.640
And I want to say
00:05:02.800
at the outset,
00:05:03.560
it is critical
00:05:04.500
that we should be unequivocal
00:05:08.040
that America stands squarely
00:05:10.940
with the state of Israel.
00:05:12.840
Amen.
00:05:16.400
It's also shocking,
00:05:18.580
I think,
00:05:19.200
to so many people
00:05:20.360
that there is such a divide
00:05:22.200
right now
00:05:22.840
on the issue of Israel
00:05:24.200
within the Democratic Party.
00:05:26.260
When you talk about
00:05:27.140
the atrocities
00:05:27.940
that you just mentioned,
00:05:29.380
it should be a pretty easy
00:05:30.940
political moment,
00:05:32.360
I would argue.
00:05:33.740
And 10, 15, 20 years ago,
00:05:36.240
this would not have been hard.
00:05:38.040
How is it that so many Democrats,
00:05:39.880
they're not just screwing it up,
00:05:41.000
they are actually advocating
00:05:43.480
for the terrorist organization,
00:05:46.320
for those supporting
00:05:47.180
the terrorist organization,
00:05:48.420
and we're witnessing it
00:05:49.640
in the streets in America,
00:05:50.860
we're witnessing it
00:05:51.520
on college campuses,
00:05:52.860
we're witnessing it
00:05:53.820
all over the world,
00:05:54.880
whether it's in Berlin,
00:05:55.900
whether it's in France,
00:05:56.960
whether it's at the Opera House
00:05:58.600
in Australia.
00:05:59.580
There are large groups of people
00:06:01.320
in countries all over the world
00:06:04.100
and college campuses
00:06:05.680
that are advocating
00:06:06.680
for Hamas and the Palestinians.
00:06:09.140
Look, it has been tragic to watch
00:06:10.900
that on the far left today,
00:06:13.380
there is a blatant strain
00:06:17.060
of hatred for Israel
00:06:19.400
and virulent anti-Semitism.
00:06:22.640
We see it in the House of Representatives
00:06:24.220
in the squad,
00:06:25.460
and the squad are viciously anti-Israel.
00:06:28.720
You and I on this podcast
00:06:29.720
talked about the video
00:06:30.880
of Rashida Tlaib
00:06:31.680
walking down the halls
00:06:33.420
of the House
00:06:34.700
when being asked,
00:06:36.060
what do you think
00:06:36.700
about women and children
00:06:37.560
being raped?
00:06:38.300
What do you think
00:06:38.880
about infants being murdered?
00:06:40.340
And she refused to answer.
00:06:41.940
And I will say
00:06:42.760
it has been tragic
00:06:43.860
to watch college campuses
00:06:46.040
across this country
00:06:47.100
as vicious anti-Semitism
00:06:49.260
has broken out.
00:06:50.560
This week,
00:06:51.280
I saw a video
00:06:52.480
from my alma mater,
00:06:53.540
from Harvard,
00:06:54.720
of a Jewish student
00:06:55.980
being harassed,
00:06:57.160
being threatened,
00:06:58.320
being surrounded
00:06:58.680
surrounded by angry protesters
00:07:00.760
screaming shame, shame, shame.
00:07:03.520
Look, I called on Harvard.
00:07:05.040
Any student doing that
00:07:06.380
to another student
00:07:07.260
should be expelled immediately.
00:07:12.780
But let me say something else, Ben,
00:07:15.480
because unfortunately
00:07:16.620
it's not just the radicals
00:07:18.460
in the House.
00:07:19.320
It's not just the radicals
00:07:20.900
on university campuses.
00:07:23.260
The Biden administration
00:07:24.880
from the very beginning
00:07:26.820
of this war
00:07:27.600
has systematically
00:07:28.620
undermined Israel.
00:07:30.520
When the war began
00:07:31.820
on October 7th,
00:07:33.740
early in the morning,
00:07:35.040
at 3 in the morning,
00:07:36.060
the State Department,
00:07:37.020
the Office of Palestinian Affairs,
00:07:38.680
tweeted out,
00:07:40.380
they said,
00:07:41.020
we condemn the attack of Hamas,
00:07:43.460
but we urge both sides
00:07:45.100
to engage in no retaliation,
00:07:47.600
no military acts.
00:07:49.640
Violence solves nothing.
00:07:51.520
This is literally,
00:07:52.620
as Israel is having
00:07:53.680
terrorists murder
00:07:54.740
that night,
00:07:56.400
upwards of 1,000 Israelis.
00:07:59.060
The U.S. State Department
00:08:00.500
said, Israel,
00:08:01.220
don't respond at all.
00:08:02.560
Do nothing.
00:08:03.280
Do not strike back
00:08:04.460
at the terrorists.
00:08:05.540
Now, my staff and I,
00:08:06.640
we spotted that tweet
00:08:07.760
at 3 in the morning.
00:08:10.200
And we condemned it loudly.
00:08:12.080
I said, look,
00:08:12.800
everyone involved
00:08:13.620
in drafting this tweet,
00:08:15.100
everyone involved
00:08:15.800
in approving it
00:08:16.520
should be fired.
00:08:17.540
The State Department,
00:08:18.660
within hours,
00:08:19.760
deleted the tweet.
00:08:20.500
The next day,
00:08:22.160
Tony Blinken,
00:08:22.840
the Secretary of State,
00:08:24.520
sent out another tweet.
00:08:26.220
He said he had just talked
00:08:27.620
with the Turkish
00:08:28.180
Foreign Minister
00:08:29.000
and they had agreed
00:08:30.460
that it was imperative
00:08:31.560
to have a ceasefire.
00:08:34.640
Understand that the word
00:08:36.000
ceasefire,
00:08:36.780
listen,
00:08:37.460
Hamas does not intend
00:08:38.600
to have a ceasefire
00:08:39.640
until they murder
00:08:40.760
every Jew they can find.
00:08:43.080
That's when they intend
00:08:44.180
to stop.
00:08:45.440
Prime Minister Netanyahu
00:08:46.580
has rightly said
00:08:47.700
that they are going
00:08:49.040
to utterly eliminate Hamas.
00:08:51.720
And every time you hear
00:08:52.960
a Democrat or the media
00:08:55.040
saying the word ceasefire,
00:08:59.380
what they are saying
00:09:00.600
is protect Hamas
00:09:01.760
and stop Israel
00:09:03.400
from retaliating.
00:09:04.840
Right now,
00:09:05.940
the U.S. Secretary of State,
00:09:07.240
Tony Blinken,
00:09:08.500
is in Israel
00:09:09.280
and he went there
00:09:11.220
to argue for what he called
00:09:13.200
a, quote,
00:09:14.440
humanitarian pause.
00:09:16.520
Yeah.
00:09:16.620
Now that's just
00:09:18.060
fancy Orwellian speak
00:09:19.740
for a ceasefire.
00:09:21.440
What he's saying
00:09:22.400
is Israel,
00:09:23.580
please don't kill
00:09:24.620
the terrorists.
00:09:25.280
He's also arguing,
00:09:26.860
Israel,
00:09:27.700
please give fuel
00:09:30.100
to the terrorists.
00:09:32.600
So in the Gaza Strip,
00:09:34.160
many of the Hamas terrorists
00:09:35.480
are in tunnels
00:09:36.480
that they have dug
00:09:37.300
underground.
00:09:38.360
Those tunnels
00:09:39.080
are ventilated,
00:09:40.160
they are powered
00:09:40.960
by fuel generators.
00:09:42.820
And so Israel has said,
00:09:44.000
we're cutting off
00:09:45.000
your fuel.
00:09:45.460
What is the Biden
00:09:47.080
State Department saying?
00:09:48.460
Send fuel in there.
00:09:49.680
The reason Israel's
00:09:50.580
cutting off the fuel
00:09:51.480
is to get the terrorists
00:09:52.960
out of the tunnels
00:09:53.840
so they can kill
00:09:55.220
the terrorists
00:09:56.120
who are targeting
00:09:57.160
and murdering civilians.
00:09:59.240
And I got to say,
00:10:00.900
and this is something,
00:10:01.900
so in the last three weeks,
00:10:04.240
this podcast,
00:10:05.240
we've done a deep dive
00:10:06.220
on what's happening
00:10:06.900
in Israel,
00:10:07.540
examining
00:10:08.080
the atrocities
00:10:10.960
that were carried out,
00:10:11.860
but also examining
00:10:13.000
the complicity
00:10:14.340
of the Biden administration.
00:10:15.400
It is funding
00:10:16.680
this attack.
00:10:17.880
It has flowed
00:10:18.560
over $100 billion
00:10:20.440
to Iran
00:10:21.720
who planned
00:10:23.180
and directed
00:10:23.880
this attack.
00:10:25.200
But not only that,
00:10:26.640
on this podcast,
00:10:27.540
we've explained
00:10:28.460
how the corporate media
00:10:29.540
is an integral part
00:10:31.500
of Hamas's war plan.
00:10:33.200
We had a podcast episode
00:10:34.400
that was entitled,
00:10:36.020
CNN
00:10:36.400
is Hamas's Air Force.
00:10:40.380
So is MSNBC,
00:10:42.240
so is ABC.
00:10:43.400
It's scary,
00:10:44.040
it's accurate.
00:10:44.500
It's terrifying.
00:10:45.320
Yeah.
00:10:45.700
And we went through
00:10:47.060
a dozen different clips,
00:10:49.440
including,
00:10:50.180
we played one
00:10:50.880
on this podcast.
00:10:51.920
By the way,
00:10:52.260
go back and download this.
00:10:53.340
If you did not
00:10:54.780
get to hear this,
00:10:56.220
this is why I love
00:10:57.480
doing this show with you
00:10:58.440
because we take time
00:11:00.140
and we pulled
00:11:01.120
all these clips
00:11:01.960
and we played them
00:11:03.060
back to back.
00:11:03.400
And you can't get it
00:11:03.840
anywhere else.
00:11:04.480
Yeah,
00:11:04.640
no one else is playing this
00:11:05.680
and we put it
00:11:06.280
back to back
00:11:07.060
to back to back
00:11:07.900
so you can watch
00:11:09.120
the American media
00:11:10.460
defend this
00:11:11.580
terrorist organization.
00:11:12.960
Well,
00:11:13.180
and one of the most
00:11:14.020
stunning is CNN
00:11:14.920
had a spokesperson
00:11:16.400
for the Palestinians
00:11:17.580
who went on CNN
00:11:19.520
and said,
00:11:21.200
Hamas only attacks
00:11:22.740
military targets,
00:11:23.820
they never attack
00:11:24.580
civilians,
00:11:25.420
and the Israelis
00:11:27.020
deliberately target
00:11:28.480
civilians.
00:11:30.480
And CNN sat there
00:11:32.260
as they utterly lied,
00:11:33.720
they erred globally,
00:11:35.680
terrorist propaganda,
00:11:38.120
which is exactly
00:11:39.180
opposite of the truth.
00:11:40.280
And I'll point out,
00:11:40.940
not only is it the case
00:11:42.620
that Hamas deliberately
00:11:43.700
was murdering civilians,
00:11:44.740
and by the way,
00:11:45.560
they don't keep this
00:11:46.360
a secret.
00:11:47.380
They videoed themselves
00:11:48.640
and put the videos
00:11:49.620
out for the world.
00:11:50.540
They're proud of it.
00:11:52.160
But not only that,
00:11:53.360
the Israelis go
00:11:54.400
to extraordinary lengths,
00:11:55.940
more than any military
00:11:57.780
on the face of the planet
00:11:58.820
to avoid civilian deaths.
00:12:00.280
Now, tragically,
00:12:02.840
we know there will be
00:12:03.720
Palestinian civilian deaths,
00:12:05.120
but the reason for that
00:12:06.160
is Hamas deliberately
00:12:07.720
using human shields.
00:12:09.560
They want Palestinian
00:12:11.120
civilians to die.
00:12:12.340
So, for example,
00:12:13.640
they put their military
00:12:14.560
headquarters in the basement
00:12:15.680
of a hospital.
00:12:16.760
They put missiles
00:12:17.880
in kindergarten classrooms
00:12:19.960
because when the Israelis
00:12:21.080
take out military targets,
00:12:23.340
they want there to be
00:12:25.540
dead Palestinians
00:12:26.620
because they then know,
00:12:28.640
Hamas knows they're not
00:12:29.740
strong enough
00:12:30.360
to defeat Israel.
00:12:32.480
But their plan
00:12:33.540
is for the useful idiots
00:12:35.120
in the global media
00:12:36.300
to take those images
00:12:38.260
and demonize Israel,
00:12:40.320
which is why it is
00:12:41.220
so important
00:12:42.020
to speak out
00:12:43.080
and speak the truth.
00:12:44.140
One of the things
00:12:44.900
about being here
00:12:45.840
at the Goldwater Institute
00:12:46.720
for this event
00:12:47.600
is we get to talk
00:12:48.720
about a subject
00:12:49.320
that's really important
00:12:50.320
that I know many of you
00:12:51.460
care about,
00:12:52.520
and that's an issue
00:12:53.360
at the Supreme Court.
00:12:54.420
There is a really
00:12:56.860
important week coming up
00:12:58.480
that deals with
00:12:59.120
the Supreme Court, Senator,
00:13:00.200
and I want you to talk
00:13:01.240
about this,
00:13:02.180
a vote that's coming up
00:13:03.260
in judiciary
00:13:03.800
and it's not being
00:13:05.720
covered by anyone.
00:13:06.740
Yep.
00:13:07.140
And it's going to have
00:13:08.160
or could have
00:13:08.820
major consequences,
00:13:10.180
and part of this
00:13:11.180
is the left's
00:13:12.380
clear vision
00:13:14.960
to change
00:13:16.180
or alter the Supreme Court
00:13:17.540
and how the American
00:13:18.680
people look at it,
00:13:19.520
how they view it,
00:13:20.700
undermining the Supreme Court,
00:13:22.500
undermining directly
00:13:23.580
justices,
00:13:24.420
influencing justice.
00:13:25.580
We saw this
00:13:26.160
with Roe v. Wade
00:13:26.880
and the leaking
00:13:27.880
of that document beforehand.
00:13:29.520
We saw how the left
00:13:31.020
allowed them to go
00:13:32.040
after these Supreme Court
00:13:33.040
justices at their homes
00:13:34.020
and no one was held
00:13:35.120
accountable for that either.
00:13:36.660
So the left
00:13:37.680
has been engaged
00:13:38.680
in a multi-year
00:13:39.820
systematic effort
00:13:41.000
to undermine
00:13:42.540
and delegitimize
00:13:43.840
the Supreme Court.
00:13:45.700
They view it
00:13:46.580
as the one institution
00:13:47.640
of government.
00:13:48.320
They don't have
00:13:48.660
a stranglehold on it.
00:13:50.080
Yeah.
00:13:50.420
And so their intention
00:13:51.760
is to destroy the court.
00:13:53.220
And it has featured
00:13:54.880
things including
00:13:55.700
Chuck Schumer
00:13:56.460
standing on the steps
00:13:58.040
of the court
00:13:58.640
threatening justices
00:14:00.480
by name
00:14:01.200
and saying
00:14:02.120
if you do not rule
00:14:03.140
the way he wants them to
00:14:04.600
that you have
00:14:05.800
unleashed
00:14:06.660
the whirlwind
00:14:07.720
and you will pay
00:14:09.280
the price.
00:14:09.840
We saw
00:14:11.420
we saw the leak
00:14:12.380
of the Supreme Court's
00:14:13.980
Dobbs decision.
00:14:14.820
We then also have seen
00:14:16.080
week after week
00:14:17.540
month after month
00:14:18.640
angry violent protesters
00:14:20.520
outside the homes
00:14:22.040
of Supreme Court justices.
00:14:23.760
Now it's a federal crime
00:14:25.000
to protest
00:14:26.460
at the home
00:14:27.220
of a federal judge
00:14:28.200
trying to influence
00:14:29.320
the outcome
00:14:29.860
of an election.
00:14:30.620
Let's just say that again
00:14:31.560
because I don't think
00:14:32.120
people realize that
00:14:32.700
of any federal judge
00:14:33.840
not just Supreme Court.
00:14:35.500
You can't go
00:14:36.360
and threaten
00:14:36.860
a federal judge
00:14:37.680
at their home.
00:14:38.120
It's a federal crime.
00:14:39.120
Now the Biden
00:14:40.120
Justice Department
00:14:40.980
you know how many people
00:14:41.820
they prosecuted
00:14:42.640
for violating that law?
00:14:45.360
Zero.
00:14:46.320
Not a single one.
00:14:48.080
Now it got so bad
00:14:49.280
there was one lunatic
00:14:50.820
that traveled
00:14:51.500
from California
00:14:52.420
all the way
00:14:53.800
to Bethesda, Maryland.
00:14:54.940
He brought a gun
00:14:55.740
he brought a knife
00:14:56.780
he brought duct tape
00:14:57.820
and he came there
00:14:58.680
to murder
00:14:59.560
Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
00:15:01.540
He was apprehended.
00:15:03.440
He's being prosecuted
00:15:04.700
for attempted murder.
00:15:06.480
But every night
00:15:07.720
and he should be
00:15:08.460
but every night
00:15:09.740
the people who are
00:15:10.440
committing criminal
00:15:11.200
criminal offenses
00:15:12.100
in front of the
00:15:13.280
justices' houses
00:15:14.140
trying to intimidate them
00:15:16.040
the Biden Department
00:15:16.840
of Justice Merrick Garland
00:15:18.100
refuses to follow
00:15:19.900
federal law.
00:15:20.720
So the latest iteration
00:15:22.960
in the Democrats' efforts
00:15:24.160
to undermine
00:15:24.720
the Supreme Court
00:15:25.580
is they have been
00:15:27.380
targeting a smear campaign
00:15:28.960
directed at Clarence Thomas.
00:15:30.920
Now I know
00:15:31.420
Justice Thomas very well.
00:15:33.320
I believe
00:15:33.900
Justice Clarence Thomas
00:15:35.060
is an American hero.
00:15:36.960
He's an extraordinary man
00:15:43.720
he's a brilliant man
00:15:44.620
actually I want to
00:15:45.120
take a digression
00:15:45.760
he's so funny by the way
00:15:47.000
I want to tell you
00:15:47.860
a fun story
00:15:48.720
about Justice Thomas
00:15:49.620
so I was a law clerk
00:15:51.660
at the Supreme Court
00:15:52.540
from 1996 to 1997
00:15:54.280
and when I was
00:15:55.560
clerking at the court
00:15:56.380
I clerked for Chief
00:15:58.420
Justice William Rehnquist
00:15:59.460
I got to know
00:16:00.080
Justice Thomas
00:16:00.740
very well
00:16:01.320
and at the time
00:16:03.560
two stories
00:16:04.220
about Justice Thomas
00:16:05.020
number one
00:16:05.840
one of my co-clerks
00:16:07.100
was a guy named Rick Gardner
00:16:08.060
he's a professor of law
00:16:08.980
at Notre Dame
00:16:09.480
and Rick and his wife
00:16:11.260
had tutored
00:16:12.540
a young African American kid
00:16:15.220
in Arkansas
00:16:15.780
the year before
00:16:16.440
his name was Carlos
00:16:17.140
he was a 7th grader
00:16:18.060
and Rick and Nicole said
00:16:20.260
okay we want to fly Carlos
00:16:21.640
to Washington DC
00:16:22.920
he'd never left Arkansas
00:16:24.900
he'd never seen it
00:16:25.700
and they said
00:16:26.040
we want to bring him there
00:16:26.800
and so Carlos came
00:16:28.800
and Rick sent an email
00:16:29.740
to all nine Supreme Court
00:16:30.900
justices
00:16:31.440
and he said
00:16:32.480
hey this kid
00:16:33.180
my wife and I tutored
00:16:34.240
is coming
00:16:35.600
would you be willing
00:16:36.460
to meet with him
00:16:37.200
two said yes
00:16:39.480
Ruth Bader Ginsburg
00:16:41.040
and Clarence Thomas
00:16:41.900
now Ruth Bader Ginsburg
00:16:43.900
it was very nice
00:16:44.800
of her to meet with him
00:16:45.840
and they had a conversation
00:16:47.860
but look
00:16:48.380
it was a little stilted
00:16:49.840
she was very prim
00:16:51.000
she was very proper
00:16:52.480
she was like a librarian
00:16:53.540
and for a kid
00:16:55.580
who grew up
00:16:56.120
in rural Arkansas
00:16:56.920
it was difficult
00:16:57.660
to understand
00:16:58.680
and really connect
00:17:00.220
with Mrs. Ginsburg
00:17:01.320
but it was very gracious
00:17:02.960
of her to say yes
00:17:03.900
the other who said yes
00:17:05.880
was Clarence Thomas
00:17:06.720
now Clarence Thomas
00:17:08.240
grew up in Pinpoint, Georgia
00:17:09.700
Pinpoint is a tiny
00:17:10.960
rural town in Georgia
00:17:12.200
he grew up
00:17:13.400
in abject poverty
00:17:14.600
and he sat there
00:17:16.200
talking with Carlos
00:17:17.360
he spent over an hour
00:17:18.500
with his 7th grade kid
00:17:20.520
talking with him
00:17:21.420
at the end of the discussion
00:17:23.720
Carlos
00:17:25.960
the Supreme Court
00:17:26.860
didn't mean a whole lot
00:17:27.700
to him
00:17:28.060
but Justice Thomas
00:17:30.180
had a picture of himself
00:17:31.520
with Troy Aikman
00:17:32.220
he's a huge Dallas Cowboys fan
00:17:33.800
and that impressed Carlos
00:17:36.520
like wow
00:17:37.180
that's a big deal
00:17:38.820
you know Aikman
00:17:39.680
that's yeah
00:17:40.180
you're in
00:17:40.860
and Justice Thomas
00:17:43.020
saw how impressed he was
00:17:44.680
and he had on his desk
00:17:45.780
he had a ticket
00:17:46.620
to the Super Bowl
00:17:48.080
encased in Lucite
00:17:50.620
and signed by Emmett Smith
00:17:52.300
and he grabbed it
00:17:54.180
off his desk
00:17:54.780
he said Carlos
00:17:55.440
I'm going to give you
00:17:55.980
this ticket
00:17:56.400
but he said
00:17:58.480
I want you to promise me
00:18:00.400
you're going to get A's
00:18:02.160
in school next year
00:18:03.040
and Carlos
00:18:04.980
with wide open eyes
00:18:06.420
nodded and said
00:18:07.320
yes sir I will
00:18:08.360
that's one day
00:18:10.040
that was never reported
00:18:11.020
that was never commented
00:18:11.900
there were no cameras there
00:18:13.000
that's who Justice Thomas is
00:18:14.960
here's a second story
00:18:15.820
so my college roommate
00:18:18.140
and best friend
00:18:19.360
other than Heidi
00:18:20.080
it's a guy you know well
00:18:21.580
David Panton
00:18:22.260
oh yeah
00:18:22.740
he is Jamaican
00:18:24.220
he is an extraordinary guy
00:18:26.380
and he was president
00:18:28.700
of the Harvard Law Review
00:18:29.760
so the first black president
00:18:31.980
of the Harvard Law Review
00:18:32.820
was a guy named Barack Obama
00:18:34.200
I'm not sure what he went on
00:18:36.220
to do after that
00:18:37.000
you can google it
00:18:39.140
if you need to check that out later
00:18:40.300
the second black president
00:18:42.120
of the Harvard Law Review
00:18:43.020
was my old roommate
00:18:43.980
David Panton
00:18:44.580
and so David
00:18:46.440
when I was clerking
00:18:47.380
he said look
00:18:47.980
I'd really love to meet
00:18:48.960
Justice Thomas
00:18:49.600
and so I asked the justice
00:18:51.120
hey my roommate's
00:18:52.680
president of the Law Review
00:18:53.420
would you be willing
00:18:54.000
to meet with him
00:18:54.480
he said sure
00:18:54.920
so they came
00:18:57.280
David came up
00:18:58.960
and the two of them sat
00:18:59.960
and I sat in on the meeting
00:19:00.960
they spent again
00:19:01.700
about an hour
00:19:02.240
hour and a half
00:19:02.740
talking
00:19:03.060
got along famously
00:19:04.400
Justice Thomas
00:19:06.940
wanted David
00:19:07.580
to come clerk for him
00:19:08.580
and David
00:19:10.240
David is
00:19:10.860
in private equity
00:19:12.160
he's gone into business
00:19:13.060
and David says
00:19:14.480
David says
00:19:16.020
no no no
00:19:16.760
I leave
00:19:18.060
he's Jamaican
00:19:18.900
so he has this
00:19:19.420
lilting Jamaican accent
00:19:20.560
he goes no no no
00:19:21.280
I leave law
00:19:22.900
to the smart people
00:19:24.380
and Justice Thomas
00:19:27.080
leans forward
00:19:27.760
and says
00:19:28.180
so do I
00:19:29.060
and it was just
00:19:32.100
I'm sitting there
00:19:32.780
like holy cow
00:19:33.580
how am I sitting there
00:19:34.520
watching this
00:19:35.560
extraordinary exchange
00:19:36.760
by the way
00:19:37.300
side note
00:19:37.860
because this is the best
00:19:38.800
part about doing this show
00:19:39.480
and they're both brilliant
00:19:40.280
both brilliant
00:19:40.840
but this is the best part
00:19:41.540
about doing this show
00:19:42.140
I get to pull back the curtain
00:19:43.480
you are obsessed
00:19:45.100
with basketball
00:19:45.800
people may not realize that
00:19:47.940
you play
00:19:48.580
at least what
00:19:49.400
twice a week
00:19:50.080
I play twice a week
00:19:50.960
obsessed is strong
00:19:52.080
I should have a better game
00:19:53.340
if I was actually obsessed
00:19:54.240
you love it
00:19:54.300
you love basketball
00:19:55.220
it is your thing
00:19:56.520
Clarence Thomas likes basketball
00:19:58.080
he does
00:19:58.940
he used to play
00:19:59.320
did you ever play
00:20:00.080
did y'all ever play
00:20:00.860
when you were working
00:20:01.560
no and sadly I didn't
00:20:02.900
because his wife Jenny
00:20:03.800
won't let him play anymore
00:20:04.680
he hurt his knee
00:20:05.320
he used to play
00:20:06.560
we begged him to come out
00:20:07.860
and play
00:20:08.280
now Byron White
00:20:09.920
who was
00:20:11.800
who was
00:20:12.500
okay here's an interesting
00:20:14.060
bit of trivia
00:20:14.600
sorry we're taking
00:20:15.200
a total digression
00:20:15.940
but the fun thing
00:20:16.480
about a podcast
00:20:17.000
is we can do that
00:20:18.420
alright so let's do
00:20:20.200
a little bit of history
00:20:21.080
World War II
00:20:23.180
a boat
00:20:26.760
known as PT-109
00:20:28.900
is sunk in World War II
00:20:30.120
an intelligence report
00:20:33.180
is written
00:20:34.260
that describes
00:20:36.560
in the sinking of PT-109
00:20:38.400
incredible heroism
00:20:40.180
from a young sailor
00:20:42.960
by the name of
00:20:44.000
John Fitzgerald Kennedy
00:20:45.120
and this intelligence report
00:20:47.160
described
00:20:47.940
Kennedy as an incredible hero
00:20:49.820
fast forward 20 years
00:20:52.800
and JFK's president
00:20:53.940
JFK appointed one
00:20:56.260
and only one person
00:20:57.140
to the Supreme Court
00:20:57.880
do you know who that was
00:20:58.660
I don't
00:20:59.260
Byron White
00:21:00.700
do you know who wrote
00:21:02.060
the intelligence report
00:21:03.020
Byron White
00:21:05.020
that is the absolute
00:21:07.180
that's one way to get
00:21:07.740
on the Supreme Court
00:21:08.500
I guess right
00:21:09.060
that's the easiest way
00:21:09.820
it is the absolute truth
00:21:10.920
now Byron White
00:21:12.300
is someone that I think
00:21:14.720
would only exist
00:21:15.840
in like a
00:21:16.620
a fictional
00:21:17.520
Tom Wolfe book
00:21:18.660
Byron White
00:21:20.880
was second
00:21:23.740
in the balloting
00:21:24.520
for the Heisman Trophy
00:21:25.620
Byron White
00:21:28.300
was first
00:21:30.080
in his class
00:21:30.880
at Yale Law School
00:21:31.860
and the same year
00:21:34.360
he was first
00:21:34.980
in the class
00:21:35.600
in the Yale Law School
00:21:36.520
he led the NFL
00:21:38.640
in rushing
00:21:39.180
wow
00:21:40.800
like holy cow
00:21:42.580
who does that
00:21:43.440
and so
00:21:45.000
when I clerked
00:21:46.020
Byron White
00:21:46.500
was retired
00:21:47.080
he was like 80
00:21:47.860
and he used to play
00:21:50.120
play hoops
00:21:50.700
with the law clerks
00:21:51.460
and so
00:21:52.400
at the Supreme Court
00:21:53.780
there's a basketball court
00:21:54.920
and the basketball court
00:21:56.860
guess what it's named
00:21:57.640
by the way
00:21:58.040
it's at the top
00:21:59.140
and so the floor
00:22:01.140
of the court
00:22:01.860
is the ceiling
00:22:02.800
of the courtroom
00:22:03.480
so they don't let you
00:22:04.240
play during an argument
00:22:05.200
because you can literally
00:22:06.160
hear the dribbling
00:22:06.920
through the ceiling
00:22:07.540
and it's nicknamed
00:22:09.260
the Supreme Court
00:22:11.380
no no no no
00:22:12.560
that's what I was told
00:22:13.480
no no no
00:22:13.800
it's wrong
00:22:14.340
all right
00:22:14.700
I was told
00:22:15.780
I was told
00:22:16.320
it was the Supreme Court
00:22:17.200
all right what is it
00:22:17.900
it's nickname
00:22:18.540
is the highest court
00:22:19.540
in the land
00:22:19.900
oh well okay
00:22:20.560
there you go
00:22:21.020
but Byron White
00:22:23.840
used to play
00:22:24.660
and he was
00:22:25.440
look the guy
00:22:26.460
led the NFL
00:22:27.280
in rushing
00:22:27.900
he was a massive guy
00:22:29.620
and apparently
00:22:30.820
he'd play with
00:22:31.560
pencil neck law clerks
00:22:32.720
and he would foul
00:22:33.720
like crazy
00:22:34.560
and just throw them down
00:22:36.180
nothing he would do
00:22:37.840
would ever be a foul
00:22:38.680
and he would just
00:22:39.320
brutalize them
00:22:40.200
when I was clerking
00:22:41.960
he was like 80
00:22:42.720
so we couldn't get him
00:22:43.600
to play
00:22:43.960
but I just shook his hands
00:22:45.280
and like his fingers
00:22:47.220
were the diameter
00:22:48.700
of a quarter
00:22:49.340
I mean it was weird
00:22:50.940
so he didn't play anymore
00:22:53.900
and sadly
00:22:54.480
Justice Thomas
00:22:55.160
didn't play anymore
00:22:55.920
when I was there either
00:22:56.720
because Ginny
00:22:57.300
wouldn't let him
00:22:57.900
because he hurt
00:22:58.820
his knee playing
00:22:59.520
when you clerked
00:23:00.380
last question on this
00:23:01.300
and then we'll get back
00:23:01.980
to this vote this week
00:23:03.040
but I gotta ask
00:23:03.800
what was the coolest part
00:23:05.380
about clerking
00:23:05.880
in the Supreme Court
00:23:06.540
being part of
00:23:10.260
the decision making
00:23:11.180
so I clerked
00:23:12.300
for Chief Justice Rehnquist
00:23:13.440
he was an extraordinary man
00:23:15.880
he was someone
00:23:16.800
he was born
00:23:17.600
in Milwaukee
00:23:19.480
he was born
00:23:21.440
in a blue collar family
00:23:23.160
he enlisted
00:23:26.100
in the army
00:23:27.240
in World War II
00:23:27.980
so he was a sergeant
00:23:29.980
he was a weather observer
00:23:31.140
in North Africa
00:23:31.960
during World War II
00:23:32.820
it's one of the really
00:23:34.940
cool things
00:23:35.620
I've always loved
00:23:36.380
that the Chief Justice
00:23:37.180
of the United States
00:23:38.080
was not an officer
00:23:39.300
he was an enlisted man
00:23:41.220
and years later
00:23:43.020
when he was serving
00:23:43.640
on the court
00:23:44.100
Lewis Powell
00:23:44.780
who served with him
00:23:45.600
was a colonel
00:23:46.480
in World War II
00:23:47.180
and Powell used to say
00:23:49.840
you know
00:23:51.220
I outrank you
00:23:52.360
and the Chief Justice
00:23:54.220
would say
00:23:54.680
oh not anymore
00:23:55.980
but Rehnquist
00:24:00.100
was spectacularly brilliant
00:24:02.680
so he had a purely
00:24:06.860
photographic memory
00:24:08.040
at a level
00:24:08.620
I've never seen
00:24:09.560
anyone else
00:24:10.260
so here's an amazing story
00:24:12.360
so Rehnquist
00:24:13.640
graduated from
00:24:14.380
Stanford Law School
00:24:15.240
he was first
00:24:17.000
in his class
00:24:17.560
at Stanford
00:24:18.120
in the same class
00:24:20.560
was Sandra Day O'Connor
00:24:21.660
she was third
00:24:22.440
in her class
00:24:22.820
no way
00:24:23.460
at Stanford
00:24:24.120
I've always wondered
00:24:25.820
what happened
00:24:26.320
to the poor
00:24:26.740
schlub who was second
00:24:27.500
yeah
00:24:28.360
so Rehnquist
00:24:30.520
and O'Connor
00:24:31.400
dated
00:24:32.280
they dated
00:24:34.660
in law school
00:24:35.480
and they actually
00:24:37.560
he asked her
00:24:38.440
to marry him
00:24:39.140
and she said no
00:24:41.280
now as y'all know
00:24:43.820
Sandra Day O'Connor
00:24:44.840
came back to Arizona
00:24:46.460
was an Arizona legend
00:24:47.900
was the Senate
00:24:49.260
majority leader
00:24:50.140
here in the state
00:24:50.820
of Arizona
00:24:51.300
and they served together
00:24:53.480
and she and her husband
00:24:54.520
and he and his wife
00:24:56.520
were friends
00:24:57.560
for 50 years
00:24:58.340
they were very close friends
00:24:59.500
a great story
00:25:00.540
from Sandra Day O'Connor
00:25:01.500
so when she was
00:25:02.820
Sandra Day
00:25:03.420
and she was dating
00:25:04.100
John O'Connor
00:25:04.840
she describes
00:25:06.240
in her autobiography
00:25:07.240
how she brought
00:25:08.820
this young
00:25:09.660
Stanford law student
00:25:10.600
she was dating
00:25:11.260
back to meet her dad
00:25:12.240
on the ranch
00:25:12.840
and she said
00:25:14.300
that day
00:25:15.040
dad just happened
00:25:17.040
to be castrating calves
00:25:18.540
just happened to be
00:25:21.520
and she writes
00:25:22.000
in the book
00:25:22.500
I wonder if he was
00:25:23.460
trying to send a message
00:25:24.500
that's like
00:25:25.880
gun cleaning night
00:25:26.640
in the south
00:25:27.120
when you just have
00:25:28.000
to have a daughter
00:25:28.580
having a date
00:25:29.260
right
00:25:29.520
as the father
00:25:30.720
of two daughters
00:25:31.640
I find that exquisite
00:25:33.620
Patriot Mobile
00:25:37.320
for 10 years
00:25:38.300
has been America's
00:25:39.360
only Christian
00:25:40.440
conservative
00:25:40.960
wireless provider
00:25:42.000
and when I say only
00:25:43.100
trust me
00:25:43.820
they are literally
00:25:45.060
the only one
00:25:45.920
the team at Patriot Mobile
00:25:48.000
are incredible
00:25:48.860
because they are
00:25:49.680
an American based company
00:25:50.880
with an American based
00:25:52.060
call center
00:25:52.660
that helps
00:25:53.780
proud Americans
00:25:55.000
just like you
00:25:56.040
that are conservatives
00:25:56.880
and Christian
00:25:57.480
know that when they
00:25:58.240
pay their bill every month
00:25:59.200
you're actually making
00:26:00.660
a difference
00:26:01.400
and standing up
00:26:02.280
for what you believe in
00:26:03.220
so stop sending
00:26:04.940
your money
00:26:05.660
to woke companies
00:26:06.600
that are fighting
00:26:07.060
against your values
00:26:07.860
you may not realize
00:26:08.880
that the Big Mobile
00:26:09.780
they have been giving
00:26:11.340
millions to liberal
00:26:13.080
democrats
00:26:13.540
and to places
00:26:15.420
like Planned Parenthood
00:26:16.820
well Patriot Mobile
00:26:18.500
has decided to do
00:26:19.340
something else
00:26:20.000
and I love this
00:26:20.960
about them as a company
00:26:21.880
for every verdict listener
00:26:23.640
that switches
00:26:24.340
your cell phone provider
00:26:26.040
to Patriot Mobile
00:26:26.760
they are going to make
00:26:28.040
an initial donation
00:26:29.160
to a organization
00:26:31.020
that helps protect
00:26:33.100
the lives of
00:26:34.200
unborn children
00:26:35.280
it is pretty awesome
00:26:36.960
and then every month
00:26:37.980
when you pay your bill
00:26:38.920
they take a portion
00:26:40.160
of your bill
00:26:40.620
at no extra cost
00:26:41.340
to you
00:26:41.520
and they give it back
00:26:42.200
to hardcore
00:26:43.260
conservative Christian
00:26:44.600
organizations
00:26:45.220
they stand up
00:26:45.960
for freedom of speech
00:26:47.340
religious freedom
00:26:48.200
the sanctity of life
00:26:49.540
the second amendment
00:26:50.380
as well as our military
00:26:51.800
our veterans
00:26:52.380
and first responder heroes
00:26:53.760
so you're going to have
00:26:54.920
a bill every month
00:26:55.620
for a cell phone
00:26:56.360
why not put it
00:26:57.520
with a company
00:26:58.300
that fights
00:26:58.880
for what you believe in
00:26:59.920
100% US based

podcast on iHeart Radio
00:27:52.920
or wherever you listen
00:27:53.980
to your podcasts
00:27:54.720
so let's talk about
00:27:57.440
this week in DC
00:27:58.380
because it's important
00:27:59.480
what's going on
00:28:00.380
and explain what the plan
00:28:02.260
is for the Democrats
00:28:03.160
and what they're trying
00:28:04.060
to accomplish
00:28:04.540
so the Democrats
00:28:05.780
are intending to issue
00:28:07.080
subpoenas for three people
00:28:08.260
for Harlan Crowe
00:28:10.400
for Leonard Leo
00:28:12.060
and for Robin Arkley
00:28:14.180
the second
00:28:14.600
now all three of them
00:28:15.980
Harlan Crowe
00:28:17.240
is a very successful
00:28:18.120
businessman in Texas
00:28:19.360
Leonard Leo
00:28:20.400
is a very close friend
00:28:21.780
who has helped
00:28:23.700
lead the Federalist Society
00:28:25.000
for 30 years
00:28:25.860
I've known Leonard Leo
00:28:26.840
for 30 years
00:28:27.720
he's been actively involved
00:28:29.640
in fighting to confirm
00:28:30.860
conservative Supreme Court
00:28:32.520
justices for 30 years
00:28:33.920
the purpose of this subpoena
00:28:36.480
is there is a
00:28:37.960
concerted smear campaign
00:28:40.640
directed
00:28:41.260
at Justice Thomas
00:28:42.780
and so you've seen
00:28:43.680
the stories about
00:28:44.520
Justice Thomas
00:28:45.660
flew on a private plane
00:28:46.960
Justice Thomas
00:28:47.840
was the guest
00:28:49.620
at the vacation home
00:28:50.900
of a billionaire
00:28:51.940
and so he must be corrupt
00:28:53.500
now
00:28:54.640
I'm going to tell you
00:28:55.880
two things
00:28:56.600
about that
00:28:57.520
smear campaign
00:28:58.920
number one
00:29:00.540
it is utterly
00:29:02.700
and completely
00:29:03.900
hypocritical
00:29:04.800
in that
00:29:06.560
if you look at
00:29:08.100
the numbers
00:29:09.420
from 2004
00:29:11.640
to 2018
00:29:12.640
the justices
00:29:15.480
disclosed
00:29:16.120
how many trips
00:29:16.660
do you think they took
00:29:17.340
the nine justices?
00:29:18.180
I have no idea
00:29:19.680
1,306
00:29:21.720
that's a hell of a lot
00:29:22.860
of travel
00:29:23.260
that's nine people
00:29:24.200
they travel a lot
00:29:26.140
six of the Supreme Court's
00:29:28.400
nine members
00:29:28.980
received paid trips
00:29:29.980
to Europe
00:29:30.520
in 2014
00:29:31.480
including Berlin
00:29:33.000
London
00:29:33.520
Zurich
00:29:34.180
Justice Stephen Breyer
00:29:38.180
was repeatedly
00:29:40.380
flown around
00:29:41.240
by the billionaire
00:29:41.960
Pritzker family
00:29:42.860
from Chicago
00:29:43.540
by the way
00:29:44.160
one of whom
00:29:44.920
is the Democrat
00:29:45.500
Governor of Illinois
00:29:46.280
right now
00:29:47.000
Justice Sotomayor
00:29:49.560
likewise
00:29:50.120
flew all over
00:29:50.940
the place
00:29:51.280
Justice Ruth Bader
00:29:52.140
Ginsburg
00:29:52.540
flew all over
00:29:53.620
the place
00:29:54.080
Justice Breyer
00:29:55.480
took more
00:29:57.400
reimbursed trips
00:29:58.840
219
00:30:00.500
than any other
00:30:03.260
member
00:30:03.640
from 2004
00:30:04.640
to 2018
00:30:05.640
and the attack
00:30:08.140
that's directed
00:30:08.800
at Clarence Thomas
00:30:09.600
look
00:30:09.920
if you want to
00:30:11.360
argue Supreme Court
00:30:12.320
justices
00:30:12.920
shouldn't be able
00:30:13.600
to fly on trips
00:30:15.060
or on private planes
00:30:16.040
fine
00:30:16.580
if you want to
00:30:17.100
talk about rules
00:30:17.940
that apply to everyone
00:30:19.120
that's fine
00:30:19.600
that's a reasonable
00:30:20.320
conversation
00:30:21.020
what's not reasonable
00:30:22.940
is to say
00:30:23.720
we're going to attack
00:30:24.740
Clarence Thomas
00:30:25.440
for doing the same
00:30:26.280
thing the other
00:30:26.880
eight justices
00:30:27.500
are doing
00:30:28.040
and we're going to
00:30:28.760
hypocritically apply
00:30:29.720
rules to him
00:30:30.620
that don't apply
00:30:31.540
to anyone else
00:30:32.280
now let me tell you
00:30:32.920
something on top
00:30:33.600
of that
00:30:33.940
which is
00:30:35.900
this smear campaign
00:30:37.800
is funded by
00:30:41.160
and is driven by
00:30:42.420
in particular
00:30:43.100
ProPublica
00:30:44.180
that has been
00:30:45.600
the organization
00:30:46.520
that's putting out
00:30:47.440
all of these
00:30:48.440
attack pieces
00:30:49.120
now who is
00:30:49.700
ProPublica
00:30:50.320
funded by
00:30:51.000
I'm going to
00:30:52.200
quote from
00:30:53.080
the Daily Caller
00:30:53.860
quote
00:30:54.260
non-profit news
00:30:55.900
outlet
00:30:56.220
ProPublica
00:30:57.020
which published
00:30:57.600
multiple stories
00:30:58.520
detailing
00:30:59.060
Supreme Court
00:31:00.000
Justice Clarence
00:31:00.760
Thomas
00:31:01.040
alleged ethics
00:31:02.020
violations
00:31:02.640
has many
00:31:04.420
of the same
00:31:05.160
donors
00:31:05.600
as multiple
00:31:06.420
groups
00:31:06.940
actively
00:31:07.920
campaigning
00:31:08.680
for Thomas
00:31:09.480
to be
00:31:10.520
investigated
00:31:11.140
or resign
00:31:11.960
the Sandler
00:31:13.020
Foundation
00:31:13.460
which launched
00:31:14.340
ProPublica
00:31:15.060
in 2007
00:31:15.980
and is the
00:31:17.080
news outlet's
00:31:18.080
largest donor
00:31:18.920
has given it
00:31:20.340
almost 40
00:31:21.440
million dollars
00:31:22.660
since 2010
00:31:24.360
for general
00:31:24.940
support
00:31:25.360
the Sandler
00:31:26.320
Foundation
00:31:26.860
has also given
00:31:27.620
over 7.5
00:31:28.900
million dollars
00:31:29.660
to the campaign
00:31:30.940
legal center
00:31:31.640
since 2015
00:31:32.480
and over 6
00:31:33.960
million dollars
00:31:34.700
to the American
00:31:35.280
Constitutional
00:31:36.200
Society
00:31:36.760
for general
00:31:37.760
support
00:31:38.160
since 2010
00:31:39.140
those are all
00:31:40.600
rabid left-wing
00:31:41.940
organizations
00:31:42.540
so understand
00:31:43.200
this smear
00:31:43.780
campaign
00:31:44.280
is driven
00:31:46.040
by left-wing
00:31:46.780
billionaires
00:31:47.420
and it is
00:31:48.920
funded to
00:31:49.660
delegitimize
00:31:50.600
the Supreme
00:31:51.140
Court
00:31:51.420
and in
00:31:51.700
particular
00:31:52.280
the left
00:31:53.440
hates
00:31:54.080
Clarence
00:31:54.560
Thomas
00:31:54.860
and they
00:31:56.140
hate him
00:31:56.800
with an
00:31:58.300
intensity
00:31:58.900
that is
00:32:00.480
different
00:32:00.800
from any
00:32:01.180
other
00:32:01.400
conservative
00:32:01.820
justice
00:32:02.220
look
00:32:02.460
I knew
00:32:02.820
Antonin
00:32:03.200
Scalia
00:32:03.460
very well
00:32:04.100
he was
00:32:04.980
brilliant
00:32:05.380
he was
00:32:05.740
an
00:32:05.860
extraordinary
00:32:06.320
justice
00:32:06.980
he was
00:32:08.100
every bit
00:32:08.520
as
00:32:08.680
conservative
00:32:09.120
as Clarence
00:32:09.740
Thomas
00:32:10.020
and yet
00:32:10.680
the left
00:32:11.180
did not
00:32:11.780
heap
00:32:12.600
contempt
00:32:13.320
on Antonin
00:32:14.940
Scalia
00:32:15.260
the way
00:32:15.680
they do
00:32:16.040
justice
00:32:16.480
Thomas
00:32:16.820
the left's
00:32:17.880
view
00:32:18.280
is for a
00:32:19.760
black man
00:32:20.540
to dare
00:32:21.420
to be
00:32:21.820
conservative
00:32:22.380
is an
00:32:24.320
unacceptable
00:32:25.040
crime
00:32:25.580
is something
00:32:26.160
that has
00:32:26.940
to be
00:32:27.240
punished
00:32:27.580
the left
00:32:28.200
refers to
00:32:29.380
they do
00:32:29.740
magazine
00:32:30.420
covers
00:32:31.080
with pictures
00:32:32.760
of Clarence
00:32:33.460
Thomas
00:32:33.800
as an
00:32:34.560
Uncle Tom
00:32:35.580
sitting at
00:32:36.840
the feet
00:32:37.200
of Antonin
00:32:37.640
Scalia
00:32:38.100
it is
00:32:38.780
bigoted
00:32:39.300
it's
00:32:39.860
racist
00:32:40.500
it's
00:32:41.020
a lie
00:32:41.660
it's
00:32:42.180
immoral
00:32:42.780
and this
00:32:43.280
viciousness
00:32:43.940
directed at
00:32:44.520
Clarence
00:32:44.840
Thomas
00:32:45.140
these subpoenas
00:32:46.220
we're going to
00:32:46.680
vote on
00:32:47.100
this week
00:32:47.780
in the
00:32:48.280
judiciary
00:32:48.680
committee
00:32:49.100
the democrats
00:32:49.740
are going to
00:32:50.420
have the votes
00:32:50.940
to issue
00:32:51.320
them from
00:32:51.640
judiciary
00:32:52.260
but the
00:32:53.420
good news
00:32:53.940
is they
00:32:54.260
don't have
00:32:54.600
legal force
00:32:55.260
unless they
00:32:55.720
get 60
00:32:56.820
votes on the
00:32:57.440
floor of the
00:32:57.940
senate
00:32:58.180
and the
00:32:58.820
chances of
00:32:59.280
that happening
00:32:59.880
are zero
00:33:00.640
thank goodness
00:33:01.740
for that
00:33:02.240
before we
00:33:04.780
get into
00:33:05.220
Q&A
00:33:05.880
I want to
00:33:06.760
ask you
00:33:07.220
one other
00:33:07.620
thing
00:33:07.960
and it's
00:33:08.440
it's the
00:33:08.920
issue
00:33:09.340
and I
00:33:09.740
have a
00:33:10.080
feeling
00:33:10.360
a lot
00:33:10.660
of people
00:33:10.900
are going
00:33:11.100
to like
00:33:11.380
this idea
00:33:12.000
here
00:33:12.400
school choice
00:33:13.900
I am a
00:33:15.980
huge proponent
00:33:16.800
of school
00:33:17.220
choice
00:33:17.580
it's been
00:33:18.000
something that
00:33:18.480
you have
00:33:19.080
been a
00:33:20.040
champion of
00:33:20.800
for years
00:33:21.800
but it's
00:33:23.020
also become
00:33:23.840
in many
00:33:24.260
circles
00:33:24.680
they say
00:33:25.080
a third
00:33:25.400
rail
00:33:25.640
don't touch
00:33:26.200
it
00:33:26.300
don't talk
00:33:26.760
about it
00:33:27.060
don't deal
00:33:27.460
with it
00:33:27.720
in politics
00:33:28.340
do you
00:33:29.780
believe in
00:33:30.360
this next
00:33:30.900
election
00:33:31.340
Scott
00:33:31.700
cycle
00:33:32.180
that
00:33:32.440
conservatives
00:33:33.280
can win
00:33:34.140
on the
00:33:34.660
issue
00:33:34.960
of school
00:33:35.300
choice
00:33:35.760
and how
00:33:37.040
would they
00:33:37.460
best do
00:33:37.900
that
00:33:38.060
nationwide
00:33:38.520
look I
00:33:39.140
think
00:33:39.340
absolutely
00:33:40.000
yes
00:33:40.480
I am
00:33:41.200
there is
00:33:42.580
no domestic
00:33:43.340
issue I
00:33:43.920
care about
00:33:44.420
more than
00:33:44.820
school choice
00:33:45.460
I think
00:33:46.420
school choice
00:33:47.300
is the
00:33:48.380
civil rights
00:33:49.240
issue
00:33:49.660
of the
00:33:50.340
21st
00:33:50.900
century
00:33:51.260
and listen
00:33:54.300
it is worth
00:33:54.980
noting that
00:33:55.600
school choice
00:33:56.600
has been
00:33:56.980
around
00:33:57.420
from the
00:33:57.800
dawn of
00:33:58.140
time
00:33:58.420
the rich
00:34:00.100
and the
00:34:00.360
middle class
00:34:00.920
have always
00:34:01.360
had school
00:34:01.780
choice
00:34:02.200
if you
00:34:04.340
were
00:34:04.740
a student
00:34:06.700
at the
00:34:07.420
Bethesda
00:34:07.960
public schools
00:34:08.640
in Maryland
00:34:09.080
Bethesda
00:34:09.560
is this
00:34:09.840
very wealthy
00:34:10.480
suburb of
00:34:11.060
Washington
00:34:11.380
D.C.
00:34:13.580
if that
00:34:14.500
school had
00:34:15.100
a 50%
00:34:15.720
dropout rate
00:34:16.500
if among
00:34:18.700
the students
00:34:19.360
that remained
00:34:20.060
there
00:34:20.480
fewer than
00:34:22.200
half of them
00:34:22.840
graduated
00:34:23.480
reading at
00:34:23.960
grade level
00:34:24.460
if drug dealers
00:34:26.620
were walking
00:34:27.200
in the hallways
00:34:28.020
if little
00:34:28.520
girls were
00:34:29.060
getting sexually
00:34:29.880
assaulted
00:34:30.440
in the
00:34:31.180
bathrooms
00:34:31.700
the
00:34:33.560
Bethesda
00:34:34.360
public schools
00:34:34.980
would be
00:34:35.260
empty
00:34:35.600
immediately
00:34:36.680
because the
00:34:38.320
parents there
00:34:38.720
are rich
00:34:39.080
so they would
00:34:40.380
do one of two
00:34:41.020
things
00:34:41.340
they would
00:34:41.620
either write
00:34:42.100
checks
00:34:42.560
and pay
00:34:43.840
tuition at a
00:34:44.520
private school
00:34:45.080
or they would
00:34:46.740
move to another
00:34:47.640
neighborhood that
00:34:48.280
had a better
00:34:48.720
public school
00:34:49.400
and they would
00:34:50.580
exercise choice
00:34:51.600
through choosing
00:34:52.180
where to live
00:34:52.700
that's what
00:34:54.280
the rich
00:34:54.620
have always
00:34:55.000
been able
00:34:55.340
to do
00:34:55.640
that's what
00:34:56.140
the upper
00:34:56.520
middle class
00:34:57.160
have always
00:34:57.920
been able
00:34:58.240
to do
00:34:58.600
it is
00:35:00.660
low income
00:35:02.000
Americans
00:35:02.620
it is single
00:35:03.620
moms in
00:35:04.220
inner cities
00:35:04.800
who are trapped
00:35:06.680
with failing
00:35:07.320
schools
00:35:07.760
and those
00:35:08.120
numbers I've
00:35:08.680
described
00:35:09.000
are true
00:35:10.120
in school
00:35:10.780
after school
00:35:11.400
after school
00:35:11.980
in this country
00:35:12.640
and it
00:35:13.260
predominantly
00:35:14.140
hurts low
00:35:14.900
income kids
00:35:15.620
it hurts
00:35:16.260
African American
00:35:17.040
kids
00:35:17.480
it hurts
00:35:18.080
Hispanic
00:35:18.600
kids
00:35:19.120
and the
00:35:20.220
Democrat
00:35:20.660
party
00:35:21.300
is
00:35:22.360
bought
00:35:22.820
and paid
00:35:23.400
for
00:35:23.660
by the
00:35:23.980
teachers
00:35:24.260
unions
00:35:24.720
if you
00:35:29.120
look at
00:35:29.480
African
00:35:29.820
American
00:35:30.200
communities
00:35:30.740
or Hispanic
00:35:31.300
communities
00:35:31.800
systematically
00:35:32.700
60-70
00:35:33.720
as much
00:35:34.160
as 80%
00:35:35.280
of African
00:35:36.580
American
00:35:37.000
parents
00:35:37.920
as much
00:35:38.360
as 60-70
00:35:39.740
80%
00:35:40.420
of Hispanic
00:35:41.020
parents
00:35:41.520
support
00:35:42.300
school choice
00:35:43.120
I believe
00:35:44.300
every child
00:35:45.520
in America
00:35:46.240
deserves
00:35:48.940
a right
00:35:49.720
to have
00:35:50.080
access
00:35:50.460
to an
00:35:50.920
excellent
00:35:51.260
education
00:35:51.920
regardless
00:35:52.800
of their
00:35:53.240
race
00:35:53.600
of their
00:35:54.120
ethnicity
00:35:54.620
of their
00:35:55.440
wealth
00:35:55.860
of their
00:35:56.420
zip code
00:35:56.940
so how do we
00:36:02.800
win
00:36:02.960
I gotta say
00:36:03.440
we are sitting
00:36:04.840
in actually
00:36:05.780
extraordinary
00:36:06.340
place
00:36:06.840
because I
00:36:07.200
want to say
00:36:07.660
to the men
00:36:08.060
and women
00:36:08.320
here
00:36:08.660
thank you
00:36:10.320
for your
00:36:10.840
leadership
00:36:11.320
Arizona
00:36:12.100
has led
00:36:14.240
the nation
00:36:15.040
in providing
00:36:16.840
choice to your
00:36:17.680
students
00:36:18.020
it has been
00:36:18.540
extraordinary
00:36:19.140
it has been
00:36:20.200
inspirational
00:36:20.940
it has been
00:36:22.060
powerful
00:36:22.860
and the
00:36:24.940
Goldwater
00:36:25.420
Institute
00:36:25.760
has been
00:36:26.260
pivotal
00:36:26.760
in making
00:36:27.300
that happen
00:36:27.980
and if you
00:36:28.660
look nationally
00:36:29.360
the two
00:36:29.820
states at the
00:36:30.500
front
00:36:30.860
of this
00:36:32.080
fight
00:36:32.380
have been
00:36:32.680
Arizona
00:36:33.120
and Florida
00:36:33.680
and I will
00:36:35.240
say something
00:36:35.840
you and I
00:36:36.320
are both
00:36:36.680
Texans
00:36:37.180
and look
00:36:37.600
Texans
00:36:38.160
we are known
00:36:39.460
for being
00:36:40.000
quiet
00:36:40.520
and for our
00:36:41.060
humility
00:36:41.540
look
00:36:44.140
as Texans
00:36:44.820
I hate
00:36:45.720
that there
00:36:47.020
is anything
00:36:47.960
Texans
00:36:49.040
are not
00:36:49.420
leaning on
00:36:50.020
but when
00:36:51.980
it comes
00:36:52.400
to school
00:36:52.840
choice
00:36:53.280
Texans
00:36:53.800
have been
00:36:54.120
lagging
00:36:54.460
behind
00:36:54.860
and I
00:36:56.160
can tell
00:36:56.560
you
00:36:56.700
there is
00:36:57.000
a major
00:36:57.480
battle
00:36:57.900
playing out
00:36:58.500
in the
00:36:58.660
Texas
00:36:58.940
legislature
00:36:59.580
right now
00:37:00.340
we have
00:37:01.560
the single
00:37:02.220
best moment
00:37:02.900
we have
00:37:03.280
ever had
00:37:03.700
in our
00:37:03.940
lifetimes
00:37:04.580
to pass
00:37:05.660
real and
00:37:06.320
meaningful
00:37:06.660
school
00:37:07.000
choice
00:37:07.400
in Texas
00:37:07.940
the governor
00:37:08.880
Greg Abbott
00:37:09.500
has said
00:37:09.800
he is going
00:37:10.040
to keep
00:37:10.440
calling
00:37:11.080
special
00:37:11.560
sessions
00:37:12.060
until
00:37:12.720
they
00:37:12.960
pass
00:37:13.340
it
00:37:13.460
and I'll
00:37:13.680
tell you
00:37:13.960
something
00:37:14.320
that I
00:37:15.660
do in
00:37:16.040
Texas
00:37:16.360
that is
00:37:16.740
unusual
00:37:17.220
Ben
00:37:17.520
so
00:37:19.060
virtually
00:37:20.660
every
00:37:21.140
U.S.
00:37:21.640
senator
00:37:21.920
stays
00:37:23.660
out of
00:37:24.320
state
00:37:24.680
primaries
00:37:25.480
in their
00:37:26.280
own
00:37:26.440
state
00:37:26.720
and the
00:37:28.540
reason
00:37:28.880
is
00:37:29.240
getting
00:37:29.540
involved
00:37:29.980
in a
00:37:30.220
primary
00:37:30.560
in your
00:37:30.940
own
00:37:31.120
state
00:37:31.340
is just
00:37:31.660
stupid
00:37:31.960
it hurts
00:37:32.380
you
00:37:32.640
that if
00:37:33.660
you make
00:37:34.060
an endorsement
00:37:34.820
in your
00:37:35.080
own
00:37:35.280
primary
00:37:35.760
in a
00:37:36.080
primary
00:37:36.380
in your
00:37:36.660
state
00:37:37.000
the rule
00:37:38.420
of thumb
00:37:38.840
is you
00:37:39.220
get half
00:37:39.820
of their
00:37:40.100
friends
00:37:40.600
and you
00:37:41.640
get all
00:37:41.960
of their
00:37:42.200
enemies
00:37:42.500
I don't
00:37:46.360
do that
00:37:46.720
I regularly
00:37:48.540
endorse in
00:37:49.320
primaries
00:37:49.700
to the best
00:37:50.280
of my
00:37:50.640
knowledge
00:37:50.960
I don't
00:37:51.440
know another
00:37:51.920
U.S.
00:37:52.340
senator that
00:37:52.820
does
00:37:53.140
to the best
00:37:53.800
of my
00:37:54.060
knowledge
00:37:54.360
99 of my
00:37:55.180
colleagues
00:37:55.540
do not
00:37:56.020
and I
00:37:56.680
endorse in
00:37:57.500
lots of
00:37:58.260
primaries
00:37:58.680
in Texas
00:37:59.120
and here's
00:37:59.580
how
00:37:59.840
I have
00:38:00.880
my staff
00:38:01.580
prepare an
00:38:02.360
excel
00:38:02.620
spreadsheet
00:38:03.140
of every
00:38:05.100
vote
00:38:05.640
that a
00:38:06.940
state
00:38:07.180
legislator
00:38:07.880
has cast
00:38:08.460
on school
00:38:08.900
choice
00:38:09.320
and my
00:38:11.400
rule is
00:38:12.020
if you
00:38:12.320
voted in
00:38:12.820
favor of
00:38:13.260
school
00:38:13.460
choice
00:38:13.920
and you're
00:38:15.200
otherwise
00:38:15.660
relatively
00:38:16.780
conservative
00:38:17.420
you're quite
00:38:18.980
likely to get
00:38:19.580
my support
00:38:20.140
if you
00:38:21.940
voted against
00:38:22.860
choice
00:38:23.420
the chances
00:38:24.800
of getting
00:38:25.220
my support
00:38:25.840
are essentially
00:38:26.480
zero
00:38:27.020
and it is
00:38:29.040
very likely
00:38:29.880
that I will
00:38:30.440
endorse your
00:38:31.320
primary opponent
00:38:32.240
and when I do
00:38:34.100
that I don't
00:38:34.620
do it gently
00:38:35.320
I come in
00:38:36.240
and I cut
00:38:36.900
radio and TV
00:38:37.820
ads and I
00:38:38.480
come in
00:38:39.040
and I beat
00:38:40.220
your ass
00:38:40.280
You're accused
00:38:40.500
of a lot of
00:38:40.960
things
00:38:41.380
you going
00:38:42.300
gently in a
00:38:42.980
political time
00:38:43.860
is not one
00:38:44.540
of them sir
00:38:44.960
Look the stakes
00:38:45.580
are too high
00:38:46.780
and so we
00:38:47.800
had last
00:38:48.640
election cycle
00:38:50.280
seven runoffs
00:38:51.200
with the
00:38:51.920
teachers unions
00:38:52.560
on one side
00:38:53.340
and me on
00:38:53.800
the other
00:38:54.160
and we beat
00:38:55.120
them in a
00:38:55.520
majority of
00:38:56.040
those races
00:38:56.580
and the reason
00:39:00.700
I do that
00:39:01.500
and listen
00:39:01.940
it hurts me
00:39:02.700
politically to
00:39:03.340
do that
00:39:03.600
I am losing
00:39:04.460
votes
00:39:05.040
when I do
00:39:05.940
that
00:39:06.240
but the reason
00:39:07.720
I'm doing
00:39:08.280
that is that
00:39:08.980
I want for
00:39:09.740
the state
00:39:10.240
legislators
00:39:10.960
when they're
00:39:11.380
thinking about
00:39:12.040
what do I
00:39:12.460
do on this
00:39:13.200
for it to be
00:39:14.860
a carrot and
00:39:15.540
stick
00:39:15.900
that if there
00:39:16.660
is a
00:39:18.600
Republican
00:39:19.520
House member
00:39:20.500
that's on
00:39:21.000
the fence
00:39:21.540
do I support
00:39:22.360
it
00:39:22.520
do I not
00:39:23.280
I want
00:39:24.820
them to
00:39:25.100
say you
00:39:25.460
know
00:39:25.700
I really
00:39:27.360
don't want
00:39:27.880
Cruz to
00:39:28.380
screw around
00:39:28.860
in my
00:39:29.080
primary
00:39:29.500
so maybe
00:39:31.060
I'll just
00:39:31.480
do the
00:39:31.840
right thing
00:39:32.380
and I'll
00:39:33.920
tell you
00:39:34.340
something
00:39:34.720
and it's
00:39:35.080
something
00:39:35.340
why I'm
00:39:35.820
so inspired
00:39:36.660
by the
00:39:37.020
men and
00:39:37.240
women in
00:39:37.540
this room
00:39:38.000
when I
00:39:39.020
was first
00:39:39.500
elected to
00:39:40.020
the Senate
00:39:40.360
in 2012
00:39:40.960
here's what
00:39:41.420
I told
00:39:41.760
Heidi
00:39:42.040
I said
00:39:43.880
sweetheart
00:39:44.340
if when
00:39:44.880
I die
00:39:45.580
if my
00:39:47.600
tombstone
00:39:48.440
says
00:39:49.040
Ted
00:39:49.980
played a
00:39:50.520
meaningful
00:39:50.940
role
00:39:51.460
in bringing
00:39:51.980
about
00:39:52.360
school
00:39:52.740
choice
00:39:53.260
to every
00:39:54.040
child in
00:39:54.640
Texas
00:39:54.920
and every
00:39:55.320
child in
00:39:55.820
America
00:39:56.180
I will
00:39:57.400
die a
00:39:58.080

00:40:31.680

00:40:32.200

00:40:34.080
where you live
00:40:34.980
and then we'll
00:40:35.560
go there go
00:40:36.040
ahead
00:40:36.280
hi Senator
00:40:38.400
I'm Mark
00:40:39.780
Volker from
00:40:40.720
Las Vegas
00:40:41.680
a few weeks
00:40:44.460
ago Jay
00:40:45.180
Powell
00:40:45.720
chairman of
00:40:46.420
the Fed
00:40:46.940
was asked
00:40:48.740
if the
00:40:49.300
Federal Reserve
00:40:50.040
was going to
00:40:51.100
issue a
00:40:52.000
central bank
00:40:52.940
digital currency
00:40:54.060
and his
00:40:55.340
response was
00:40:56.520
that would
00:40:57.540
have to be
00:40:58.220
authorized by
00:40:59.300
Congress
00:40:59.920
so my
00:41:01.160
question is
00:41:02.360
when
00:41:03.620
legislation is
00:41:04.860
introduced
00:41:05.420
to authorize
00:41:07.240
a central bank
00:41:08.260
digital currency
00:41:09.280
what will be
00:41:10.940
the response
00:41:12.020
in Congress
00:41:13.340
thank you
00:41:14.260
so Mark
00:41:15.380
thank you for
00:41:15.900
that question
00:41:16.560
for anyone
00:41:17.020
who didn't
00:41:17.500
hear he
00:41:18.000
asked about
00:41:18.780
the Federal
00:41:19.700
Reserve
00:41:20.180
potentially issuing
00:41:21.380
a central bank
00:41:22.120
digital currency
00:41:22.980
and how Congress
00:41:23.820
would respond
00:41:24.720
if legislation
00:41:25.960
was issued
00:41:27.140
I'll tell you
00:41:27.920
I am
00:41:29.160
passionately
00:41:30.240
opposed
00:41:30.900
to any
00:41:31.900
central bank
00:41:32.680
digital currency
00:41:33.440
and in fact
00:41:37.820
Mark
00:41:38.200
I have
00:41:38.680
introduced
00:41:39.080
legislation
00:41:40.020
to prohibit
00:41:40.840
the Fed
00:41:41.340
from ever
00:41:42.420
issuing a
00:41:43.260
central bank
00:41:43.860
digital currency
00:41:44.700
when it
00:41:47.660
comes to
00:41:48.460
Bitcoin
00:41:48.860
when it
00:41:49.380
comes to
00:41:49.920
cryptocurrency
00:41:50.420
generally
00:41:51.320
I am
00:41:51.920
very
00:41:52.400
bullish
00:41:52.820
on Bitcoin
00:41:53.620
I'm
00:41:56.280
personally
00:41:56.760
an investor
00:41:57.420
in Bitcoin
00:41:57.960
I have a
00:41:58.620
standing buy
00:41:59.320
order
00:41:59.580
I buy
00:42:00.140
Bitcoin
00:42:00.580
every Monday
00:42:01.600
on an
00:42:02.040
automatic
00:42:02.540
buy order
00:42:03.180
that's
00:42:04.500
just
00:42:04.820
my meager
00:42:06.060
resources
00:42:06.660
that's
00:42:07.100
part of
00:42:08.360
our
00:42:08.520
investment
00:42:09.020
I think
00:42:10.640
Bitcoin
00:42:11.040
is an
00:42:11.580
extraordinary
00:42:12.300
number one
00:42:13.220
hedge
00:42:13.500
against
00:42:13.840
inflation
00:42:14.440
but number
00:42:15.940
two
00:42:16.620
look
00:42:17.680
I love
00:42:18.480
Bitcoin
00:42:19.040
for the
00:42:19.480
same
00:42:19.960
reason
00:42:20.680
that
00:42:21.380
collectivists
00:42:22.100
and statists
00:42:22.840
hate it
00:42:23.560
which is
00:42:24.840
that it
00:42:25.220
cannot be
00:42:25.960
controlled
00:42:26.600
communist
00:42:27.740
China
00:42:28.260
has banned
00:42:29.120
Bitcoin
00:42:29.700
China
00:42:31.500
hates
00:42:31.920
Bitcoin
00:42:32.460
for the
00:42:33.660
same
00:42:33.980
reason
00:42:34.380
Elizabeth
00:42:34.820
Warren
00:42:35.240
hates
00:42:35.560
Bitcoin
00:42:36.060
because
00:42:37.180
they
00:42:37.540
cannot
00:42:37.960
control
00:42:38.580
it
00:42:38.720
the
00:42:38.900
left
00:42:39.260
wants
00:42:39.880
to
00:42:40.040
control
00:42:40.400
your
00:42:40.620
finances
00:42:41.160
and
00:42:41.420
they
00:42:41.540
want
00:42:41.760
to
00:42:41.980
monitor
00:42:42.520
every
00:42:43.440
monetary
00:42:44.000
exchange
00:42:44.600
you
00:42:44.920
have
00:42:45.500
including
00:42:46.460
the
00:42:46.780
original
00:42:47.200
version
00:42:47.620
of the
00:42:47.940
so-called
00:42:48.360
Build Back
00:42:48.860
Better
00:42:49.140
bill
00:42:49.460
which I
00:42:50.200
called
00:42:50.460
Build Back
00:42:50.920
Broke
00:42:51.380
required your
00:42:53.680
bank to
00:42:54.240
report to
00:42:54.860
the federal
00:42:55.240
government
00:42:55.680
every single
00:42:56.540
transaction
00:42:57.160
you made
00:42:57.860
in excess
00:42:58.620
of $400
00:42:59.240
that meant
00:43:01.000
that meant
00:43:01.020
every
00:43:01.200
mortgage
00:43:01.540
payment
00:43:01.980
that meant
00:43:02.300
every
00:43:02.460
car
00:43:02.800
payment
00:43:03.240
with
00:43:04.160
inflation
00:43:04.700
that damn
00:43:05.260
near meant
00:43:05.620
every time
00:43:06.060
you filled
00:43:06.440
up your
00:43:06.740
gas tank
00:43:07.420
I think
00:43:09.960
it is insane
00:43:10.720
the federal
00:43:11.160
government
00:43:11.520
has no
00:43:11.980
business
00:43:12.620
monitoring
00:43:13.340
the financial
00:43:14.520
transactions
00:43:15.400
of a free
00:43:16.060
people
00:43:16.480
I will tell
00:43:21.460
you also
00:43:22.040
I'm a big
00:43:22.760
proponent
00:43:23.360
Texas is
00:43:24.360
becoming an
00:43:25.000
oasis for
00:43:25.760
Bitcoin
00:43:26.260
and cryptocurrency
00:43:26.980
mining
00:43:28.080
that people
00:43:28.720
are coming
00:43:29.200
to Texas
00:43:29.780
to be free
00:43:30.920
it is a
00:43:31.380
benefit to
00:43:32.000
have low
00:43:33.020
cost
00:43:33.460
abundant
00:43:33.920
energy
00:43:34.400
and if that's
00:43:34.900
one thing
00:43:35.260
Texas has
00:43:35.980
we have a
00:43:36.860
lot of it
00:43:37.380
I will say
00:43:38.240
I'm glad
00:43:39.120
Jay Powell
00:43:39.740
says that
00:43:40.380
I have asked
00:43:41.080
him in my
00:43:41.720
office
00:43:42.200
about a
00:43:43.420
central bank
00:43:43.980
digital currency
00:43:44.920
what he said
00:43:46.620
in my office
00:43:47.280
sounded pretty
00:43:47.980
good
00:43:48.340
now it worries
00:43:49.040
me sometimes
00:43:49.880
that when
00:43:50.620
Jay Powell
00:43:51.160
is talking
00:43:51.660
to Democrats
00:43:52.340
what he says
00:43:53.060
doesn't sound
00:43:54.060
pretty good
00:43:54.620
and so I
00:43:55.980
remain worried
00:43:56.820
the Fed
00:43:57.240
will try
00:43:57.620
to do
00:43:57.900
this on
00:43:58.260
their own
00:43:58.640
but I
00:43:59.820
can tell
00:44:00.260
you
00:44:00.520
if they
00:44:01.600
do
00:44:01.920
I will
00:44:02.360
lead the
00:44:02.760
fight
00:44:02.960
against
00:44:03.340
it
00:44:03.620
and I
00:44:04.100
don't
00:44:04.240
think
00:44:04.420
the
00:44:04.580
federal
00:44:04.800
government
00:44:05.200
should
00:44:05.480
ever
00:44:05.780
get in
00:44:06.080
that
00:44:06.200
business
00:44:06.640
go ahead
00:44:08.560
next up
00:44:09.160
tell us
00:44:10.780
your name
00:44:11.240
hi
00:44:11.880

Simpson
00:44:12.880
from
00:44:13.280
Paradise
00:44:13.680
Valley
00:44:14.060
Arizona
00:44:14.560
my
00:44:16.000
question
00:44:16.580
is
00:44:17.100
Senator
00:44:17.580
when
00:44:18.600
are
00:44:18.740
you
00:44:18.880
going
00:44:19.060
to
00:44:19.220
convince
00:44:19.880
the
00:44:20.200
rest
00:44:20.580
of
00:44:20.760
the
00:44:20.960
Senate
00:44:21.320
that
00:44:22.280
without
00:44:22.760
border
00:44:23.320
security
00:44:24.080
we
00:44:24.840
don't
00:44:25.160
have
00:44:25.480
any
00:44:25.880
U.S.
00:44:26.600
security
00:44:27.240
amen
00:44:29.240
Jenny
00:44:30.100
amen
00:44:30.780
amen
00:44:31.480
amen
00:44:31.960
thank you
00:44:32.620
for that
00:44:32.980
question
00:44:33.420
I tell you
00:44:33.920
we
00:44:34.080
we talked
00:44:35.080
about
00:44:35.360
were we
00:44:35.640
going to
00:44:35.900
talk about
00:44:36.420
securing
00:44:36.800
the border
00:44:37.220
or not
00:44:37.700
and I
00:44:38.000
told him
00:44:38.400
Ben
00:44:38.660
we're in
00:44:39.380
Arizona
00:44:39.880
the chances
00:44:40.500
that we
00:44:40.840
go through
00:44:41.240
Q&A
00:44:41.860
without talking
00:44:42.860
about border
00:44:43.440
security
00:44:43.920
are zero
00:44:44.520
look it is
00:44:46.160
an absolute
00:44:46.940
manifest
00:44:47.560
disaster
00:44:48.540
y'all know
00:44:49.220
that you
00:44:49.660
deal with it
00:44:50.300
every day
00:44:50.900
in Texas
00:44:51.780
we know
00:44:52.360
that we
00:44:52.800
deal with
00:44:53.260
it every
00:44:53.560
day
00:44:53.880
I was
00:44:54.740
down at
00:44:55.120
our
00:44:55.300
southern
00:44:55.560
border
00:44:55.880
last
00:44:56.300
week
00:44:56.620
I
00:44:57.560
went
00:44:57.820
there
00:44:58.040
Thursday
00:44:58.460
night
00:44:58.800
of
00:44:58.940
last
00:44:59.260
week
00:44:59.540
I
00:44:59.740
went
00:45:00.040
to
00:45:00.700
the
00:45:00.860
midnight
00:45:01.240
muster
00:45:01.720
with the
00:45:02.020
border
00:45:02.220
patrol
00:45:02.580
agents
00:45:03.000
where I
00:45:03.340
said to
00:45:03.740
all of
00:45:04.100
the
00:45:04.240
agents
00:45:04.640
thank you
00:45:05.640
thank you
00:45:06.180
thank you
00:45:06.700
for your
00:45:07.060
heroism
00:45:07.720
for defending
00:45:08.680
this
00:45:09.020
nation
00:45:09.460
even when
00:45:10.200
you have
00:45:10.760
political
00:45:12.140
nincompoops
00:45:13.340
who are
00:45:14.540
undermining you
00:45:15.620
every single
00:45:16.340
day
00:45:16.680
I then went
00:45:17.940
out on
00:45:18.360
midnight
00:45:18.620
patrol
00:45:19.040
with the
00:45:19.400
border
00:45:19.560
patrol
00:45:19.880
which I've
00:45:20.340
done
00:45:20.520
many many
00:45:20.940
times
00:45:21.420
every time
00:45:23.080
you go out
00:45:23.540
on midnight
00:45:23.980
patrol
00:45:24.400
within minutes
00:45:25.240
you encounter
00:45:26.940
groups of
00:45:27.500
illegal aliens
00:45:28.300
Corrine
00:45:29.680
Jean-Pierre
00:45:30.480
said at a
00:45:31.080
White House
00:45:31.460
briefing
00:45:31.880
people are
00:45:32.900
not just
00:45:33.440
walking across
00:45:34.360
our southern
00:45:34.880
border
00:45:35.180
it's not
00:45:35.620
happening
00:45:36.040
now there's a
00:45:37.940
technical term
00:45:38.800
for what she
00:45:39.340
just did
00:45:39.780
there
00:45:40.040
that is
00:45:41.240
called
00:45:41.640
a lie
00:45:42.540
it is not
00:45:44.720
a point of
00:45:45.580
view
00:45:45.900
it is not
00:45:46.560
spin
00:45:47.180
it is not
00:45:47.820
advocacy
00:45:48.560
it is a
00:45:49.720
brazen
00:45:50.720
flat out
00:45:52.140
lie
00:45:52.800
and I
00:45:54.240
responded
00:45:55.040
actually on
00:45:55.640
this podcast
00:45:56.240
I said
00:45:56.800
Corrine
00:45:57.100
Jean-Pierre
00:45:57.800
come with
00:45:58.580
me to the
00:45:58.980
southern border
00:45:59.580
let's go
00:46:00.120
out
00:46:00.420
and in
00:46:00.920
one hour
00:46:01.400
I promise
00:46:01.960
you we
00:46:02.300
will encounter
00:46:02.940
illegal aliens
00:46:03.980
because over
00:46:04.780
eight million
00:46:05.880
have crossed
00:46:06.840
since Joe
00:46:07.320
Biden became
00:46:07.920
president
00:46:08.380
now let me
00:46:10.280
tell you
00:46:10.660
something
00:46:11.040
one of the
00:46:12.780
last times
00:46:13.360
I was there
00:46:13.920
a reporter
00:46:15.940
asked me
00:46:16.540
said
00:46:16.900
well aren't
00:46:18.180
the policies
00:46:18.880
of Democrats
00:46:19.720
much more
00:46:21.400
compassionate
00:46:22.080
and humane
00:46:22.740
on immigration
00:46:23.400
than you mean
00:46:25.020
old Republicans
00:46:25.740
who want to
00:46:26.220
secure the border
00:46:26.860
and I just
00:46:28.480
started laughing
00:46:29.160
and I said
00:46:30.620
you know who
00:46:30.960
doesn't believe
00:46:31.440
that anymore
00:46:32.020
the Democrats
00:46:34.080
I said
00:46:36.080
where's Joe
00:46:36.520
Biden
00:46:36.820
where's Kamala
00:46:38.960
Harris
00:46:39.360
where is a
00:46:41.320
single
00:46:41.920
Democrat
00:46:42.820
senator
00:46:43.440
none of
00:46:45.320
them come
00:46:45.820
to the border
00:46:46.360
and there's a
00:46:46.900
reason for that
00:46:47.720
because you
00:46:48.560
cannot see
00:46:49.520
what is
00:46:49.940
happening
00:46:50.340
you cannot
00:46:51.720
see the
00:46:52.400
dead bodies
00:46:53.140
last year
00:46:53.920
853 migrants
00:46:55.960
died crossing
00:46:56.820
illegally into
00:46:57.380
this country
00:46:57.900
Texas farmers
00:46:59.160
and ranchers
00:46:59.720
find dead
00:47:00.220
bodies on
00:47:01.160
their property
00:47:01.780
every single
00:47:02.820
day they do
00:47:03.400
the same
00:47:03.780
thing here
00:47:04.240
in Arizona
00:47:04.700
you cannot
00:47:06.360
see the
00:47:07.180
children
00:47:07.660
who have
00:47:09.340
been brutalized
00:47:10.420
by human
00:47:10.940
traffickers
00:47:11.580
you can't
00:47:13.020
see the
00:47:13.420
women who've
00:47:13.980
been sexually
00:47:14.600
assaulted
00:47:15.140
you can't
00:47:16.240
see the
00:47:16.720
more than
00:47:17.220
100,000
00:47:18.960
drug overdoses
00:47:20.320
last year
00:47:21.140
70% of
00:47:22.560
which came
00:47:23.140
from Chinese
00:47:24.060
fentanyl
00:47:24.460
you can't
00:47:25.040
see that
00:47:25.680
and argue
00:47:26.420
this is
00:47:26.840
humane
00:47:27.380
or compassionate
00:47:28.440
it is a
00:47:29.080
disaster
00:47:29.740
and we're
00:47:31.840
seeing blue
00:47:32.680
state governors
00:47:33.400
and mayors
00:47:34.220
people like
00:47:35.220
Mayor Erica
00:47:35.820
Adams
00:47:36.280
in New York
00:47:36.840
City
00:47:37.160
declaring an
00:47:41.000
emergency
00:47:41.620
and saying
00:47:42.360
illegal immigration
00:47:43.400
is destroying
00:47:45.020
New York
00:47:46.200
City
00:47:46.520
New York
00:47:48.300
City has
00:47:48.700
9 million
00:47:49.180
people
00:47:49.560
they've had
00:47:50.000
roughly
00:47:50.440
110,000
00:47:52.220
illegal immigrants
00:47:53.060
Adams
00:47:55.260
blames
00:47:55.920
that madman
00:47:57.240
down in
00:47:57.720
Texas
00:47:58.160
by which I
00:47:59.940
think he
00:48:00.340
means Governor
00:48:00.940
Greg Abbott
00:48:01.600
frankly I was
00:48:02.480
offended he
00:48:02.980
didn't mean
00:48:03.320
me
00:48:03.540
like what
00:48:05.240
do I have
00:48:05.660
to do
00:48:06.260
I'm sure
00:48:07.000
we can get
00:48:07.300
a reporter
00:48:07.700
to ask
00:48:08.120
that question
00:48:08.600
if I
00:48:08.800
clarify
00:48:09.260
right
00:48:09.680
I don't
00:48:12.060
disagree
00:48:12.440
with him
00:48:12.920
that 110,000
00:48:14.160
illegal immigrants
00:48:14.960
threatens to
00:48:15.600
destroy New York
00:48:16.380
City
00:48:16.640
but my
00:48:17.040
question is
00:48:17.880
if that's
00:48:19.040
true
00:48:19.440
what the
00:48:20.780
hell do you
00:48:21.300
think 8
00:48:22.100
million
00:48:22.720
is doing
00:48:24.140
for Texas
00:48:24.820
and Arizona
00:48:25.520
and the rest
00:48:26.340
of the
00:48:26.600
southern border
00:48:27.120
amen
00:48:28.220
so I can
00:48:31.300
tell you
00:48:31.860
periodically
00:48:32.640
I bring
00:48:33.320
my colleagues
00:48:34.080
down
00:48:34.420
so on
00:48:34.840
Thursday
00:48:35.300
I brought
00:48:36.320
five senators
00:48:37.100
down to the
00:48:37.820
southern border
00:48:38.360
to see
00:48:38.740
firsthand
00:48:39.180
what is
00:48:39.780
happening
00:48:40.160
the
00:48:41.160
Democrats
00:48:41.940
quite simply
00:48:43.040
do not
00:48:43.720
care
00:48:44.160
it is
00:48:45.800
the fault
00:48:46.520
this crisis
00:48:48.040
is man
00:48:48.560
made
00:48:48.820
Joe Biden
00:48:49.440
created it
00:48:50.200
Kamala Harris
00:48:51.280
created it
00:48:51.940
and every
00:48:52.800
single
00:48:53.300
Democrat
00:48:53.800
senator
00:48:54.320
created it
00:48:55.120
and they
00:48:56.340
could stop
00:48:56.880
it tomorrow
00:48:57.400
so I
00:48:59.020
cannot promise
00:48:59.800
you that I'm
00:49:00.340
going to
00:49:00.620
change
00:49:01.140
their view
00:49:02.380
but I can
00:49:03.700
promise you
00:49:04.300
I will continue
00:49:04.940
doing everything
00:49:06.000
humanly
00:49:06.680
possible
00:49:07.220
to tell
00:49:08.720
the American
00:49:09.380
people
00:49:09.840
the nightmare
00:49:10.780
the national
00:49:11.840
security
00:49:12.560
disaster
00:49:13.400
that they
00:49:14.280
are creating
00:49:14.900
the San
00:49:15.380
Diego
00:49:16.060
Customs
00:49:16.700
and Border
00:49:17.000
Patrol
00:49:17.420
last week
00:49:18.500
put out
00:49:18.860
a written
00:49:19.200
memo
00:49:19.580
directing
00:49:21.000
Border
00:49:21.360
Patrol
00:49:21.700
to be
00:49:22.000
on guard
00:49:22.540
for Hamas
00:49:23.200
and Hezbollah
00:49:23.800
terrorists
00:49:24.480
crossing our
00:49:25.760
southern border
00:49:26.420
and I
00:49:27.560
gotta tell you
00:49:28.080
I
00:49:28.280
changed his
00:49:28.920
words this
00:49:29.380
week
00:49:29.620
saying
00:49:30.020
he's
00:49:30.720
terrified
00:49:31.080
over this
00:49:31.780
this is
00:49:32.580
our last
00:49:33.060
podcast
00:49:33.480
on Wednesday
00:49:34.220
we played
00:49:35.000
Christopher
00:49:35.740
Ray
00:49:36.020
the director
00:49:36.460
of the
00:49:36.740
FBI
00:49:37.100
his words
00:49:37.940
before
00:49:38.640
Congress
00:49:39.160
where he
00:49:39.520
said
00:49:39.760
there's
00:49:39.980
a real
00:49:40.320
risk
00:49:40.660
of a
00:49:40.880
Hamas
00:49:41.240
attack
00:49:41.680
in the
00:49:42.760
United
00:49:43.060
States
00:49:43.500
right now
00:49:44.180
and I
00:49:45.740
am sorry
00:49:46.220
to say
00:49:46.680
I think
00:49:47.240
we're at
00:49:48.300
a greater
00:49:48.780
risk
00:49:49.240
today
00:49:49.700
of a
00:49:50.040
major
00:49:50.360
terrorist
00:49:50.860
attack
00:49:51.260
in America
00:49:51.840
than at
00:49:52.960
any point
00:49:53.820
since
00:49:54.160
September
00:49:54.620
11th
00:49:55.620
and as
00:49:56.160
long as
00:49:56.660
Joe Biden
00:49:57.260
and the
00:49:57.600
Democrats
00:49:58.080
keep
00:49:58.580
an open
00:49:59.280
border
00:49:59.700
we are
00:50:00.200
jeopardizing
00:50:01.160
the safety
00:50:02.120
of every
00:50:02.540
American
00:50:02.900
in our
00:50:03.180
country
00:50:03.480
one
00:50:05.060
final question
00:50:05.900
real quick
00:50:06.480
and we'll
00:50:06.900
wrap it
00:50:07.240
up
00:50:07.520
hello
00:50:08.600
senator
00:50:09.040
my name
00:50:09.540
is Matt
00:50:09.860
McGill
00:50:10.220
I'm from
00:50:10.540
Alexandria
00:50:11.140
Virginia
00:50:11.600
we have
00:50:12.500
a common
00:50:13.220
mentor
00:50:13.620
and Chuck
00:50:14.280
Cooper
00:50:14.600
oh fantastic
00:50:15.620
yeah so
00:50:16.400
my question
00:50:17.060
for you
00:50:17.440
is about
00:50:18.040
Citizens
00:50:18.800
United
00:50:19.280
versus
00:50:19.680
FEC
00:50:20.160
so
00:50:21.300
you know
00:50:23.140
this is
00:50:23.580
something
00:50:23.880
that Chuck
00:50:24.400
and I
00:50:24.760
worked on
00:50:25.340
together
00:50:25.740
going back
00:50:27.020
I don't
00:50:28.080
know
00:50:28.300
way back
00:50:29.160
to 2002
00:50:29.920
so
00:50:30.880
all of a
00:50:31.980
sudden
00:50:32.300
after the
00:50:33.240
Supreme Court's
00:50:34.280
decision in
00:50:35.060
2010
00:50:35.760
13 years
00:50:36.580
later
00:50:36.880
it's suddenly
00:50:37.380
controversial
00:50:38.000
again
00:50:38.460
just wondering
00:50:39.380
if you could
00:50:39.860
explain why
00:50:40.860
it's controversial
00:50:41.600
and where you
00:50:42.360
stand on that
00:50:43.000
please
00:50:43.320
thank you
00:50:43.860
so it is a
00:50:44.620
great question
00:50:45.340
I will say
00:50:46.860
that the
00:50:47.280
gentleman who
00:50:47.700
just asked
00:50:48.200
he said
00:50:48.520
that he
00:50:48.820
had worked
00:50:49.300
with Chuck
00:50:49.720
Cooper
00:50:50.080
Chuck
00:50:50.400
Cooper
00:50:50.700
was
00:50:51.100
my very
00:50:52.060
first boss
00:50:52.780
that I
00:50:53.080
worked for
00:50:53.600
after
00:50:53.900
clergy for
00:50:54.400
Chief Justice
00:50:54.920
Rehnquist
00:50:55.480
he's one of
00:50:56.420
my closest
00:50:56.900
friends and
00:50:57.480
mentors
00:50:57.820
he's one of
00:50:58.260
the top
00:50:58.720
Supreme Court
00:50:59.760
and constitutional
00:51:00.360
lawyers in
00:51:00.900
the country
00:51:01.300
the question
00:51:02.800
was about
00:51:03.220
Citizens
00:51:03.620
United
00:51:04.000
and I
00:51:05.520
have a
00:51:06.000
crazy
00:51:06.420
radical
00:51:06.880
view
00:51:07.280
which is
00:51:08.420
we should
00:51:08.760
protect
00:51:09.160
free speech
00:51:09.820
free speech
00:51:11.380
matters
00:51:11.980
you know
00:51:13.840
what Citizens
00:51:14.280
United was
00:51:14.880
about
00:51:15.180
so if you
00:51:17.640
look at the
00:51:18.020
case
00:51:18.260
Citizens
00:51:18.620
United
00:51:19.040
is a
00:51:19.420
non-profit
00:51:19.900
organization
00:51:20.600
that made
00:51:22.140
a movie
00:51:22.720
that was
00:51:24.020
critical of
00:51:24.620
Hillary Clinton
00:51:25.160
and the
00:51:27.060
Obama
00:51:27.500
administration
00:51:28.180
wanted to
00:51:28.920
go after
00:51:29.560
and fine
00:51:30.400
and punish
00:51:31.300
this
00:51:31.960
non-profit
00:51:32.560
organization
00:51:33.260
for daring
00:51:33.960
to make
00:51:34.440
a movie
00:51:35.000
that was
00:51:35.800
critical
00:51:36.260
of a
00:51:37.100
politician
00:51:37.540
and it
00:51:39.340
went all
00:51:39.680
the way
00:51:39.960
to the
00:51:40.160
U.S.
00:51:40.500
Supreme
00:51:40.780
Court
00:51:41.160
and actually
00:51:42.000
at the
00:51:42.240
U.S.
00:51:42.600
Supreme
00:51:42.820
Court
00:51:43.060
there's
00:51:43.360
an exchange
00:51:44.220
where
00:51:45.100
Justice
00:51:45.560
Alito
00:51:46.000
asked
00:51:46.520
the
00:51:46.720
Obama
00:51:47.080
Justice
00:51:47.460
Department
00:51:47.980
under
00:51:49.500
your
00:51:49.860
theory
00:51:50.420
that
00:51:51.460
the
00:51:51.640
government
00:51:52.000
can
00:51:52.320
punish
00:51:52.780
a
00:51:53.000
movie
00:51:53.260
maker
00:51:53.640
for
00:51:54.720
making
00:51:55.040
a
00:51:55.280
movie
00:51:55.620
critical
00:51:56.340
of a
00:51:56.640
politician
00:51:57.160
could
00:51:57.940
the
00:51:58.120
federal
00:51:58.360
government
00:51:58.760
also
00:51:59.300
ban
00:51:59.740
books
00:52:00.140
would you
00:52:00.480
have
00:52:00.720
the
00:52:00.880
authority
00:52:01.320
to
00:52:01.560
ban
00:52:01.820
books
00:52:02.240
you
00:52:02.400
didn't
00:52:02.700
like
00:52:03.060
that
00:52:04.280
criticize
00:52:04.840
politicians
00:52:05.520
and the
00:52:06.940
Obama
00:52:07.240
Justice
00:52:07.620
Department
00:52:08.060
said
00:52:08.360
yes
00:52:08.760
yes
00:52:09.700
that's
00:52:10.020
exactly
00:52:10.480
what
00:52:10.720
we're
00:52:10.900
arguing
00:52:11.220
for
00:52:11.560
the
00:52:13.040
Supreme
00:52:13.380
Court
00:52:13.680
and
00:52:13.860
Citizens
00:52:14.160
United
00:52:14.620
quite
00:52:15.020
rightly
00:52:15.500
upheld
00:52:18.400
the
00:52:18.660
First
00:52:18.960
Amendment
00:52:19.340
and said
00:52:19.800
Americans
00:52:20.320
have a
00:52:20.840
right
00:52:21.100
to speak
00:52:22.040
and to
00:52:22.360
speak
00:52:22.580
about
00:52:22.840
politics
00:52:23.520
and the
00:52:24.200
government
00:52:24.540
can't
00:52:25.060
criminalize
00:52:26.020
you and
00:52:26.760
me
00:52:26.980
speaking
00:52:27.360
about
00:52:27.680
politics
00:52:28.280
now
00:52:28.640
I've
00:52:34.240
been in
00:52:34.480
the
00:52:34.620
Senate
00:52:34.820
11
00:52:35.160
years
00:52:35.560
I've
00:52:35.820
spent
00:52:36.020
the
00:52:36.180
last
00:52:36.460
11
00:52:36.800
years
00:52:37.000
I've
00:52:37.180
spent
00:52:37.400
all
00:52:38.180
of my
00:52:38.500
adult
00:52:38.840
life
00:52:39.120
fighting
00:52:39.500
to defend
00:52:39.980
the
00:52:40.140
Constitution
00:52:40.600
and the
00:52:40.940
Bill
00:52:41.060
of
00:52:41.200
Rights
00:52:41.520
my
00:52:42.480
time
00:52:42.920
in the
00:52:43.220
Senate
00:52:43.480
in
00:52:43.680
particular
00:52:44.140
I've
00:52:44.500
been
00:52:44.640
passionate
00:52:45.200
defending
00:52:46.360
free
00:52:46.740
speech
00:52:47.080
in the
00:52:47.320
wake
00:52:47.520
of
00:52:47.680
Citizens
00:52:48.000
United
00:52:48.400
the
00:52:50.000
Democrats
00:52:50.580
introduced
00:52:51.460
a
00:52:53.580
constitutional
00:52:54.120
amendment
00:52:54.560
to
00:52:55.960
repeal
00:52:56.600
the
00:52:56.860
free
00:52:57.140
speech
00:52:57.520
protections
00:52:58.120
of

the
00:52:58.900
First
00:52:59.120
Amendment
00:52:59.420
now
00:53:01.340
you
00:53:01.460
probably
00:53:01.740
don't
00:53:01.940
know
00:53:02.120
that
00:53:02.320
because
00:53:02.480
the
00:53:02.620
news
00:53:02.780
didn't
00:53:03.040
cover
00:53:03.280
it
00:53:03.480
the
00:53:04.920
first
00:53:05.380
version
00:53:06.020
of the
00:53:06.300
constitutional
00:53:06.780
amendment
00:53:07.120
they
00:53:07.360
introduced
00:53:08.220
is an
00:53:10.340
amendment
00:53:10.740
that would
00:53:11.180
give
00:53:11.480
Congress
00:53:12.080
plenary
00:53:12.700
power
00:53:13.200
which
00:53:13.420
means
00:53:13.660
blanket
00:53:14.040
power
00:53:14.460
total
00:53:14.860

any
00:53:20.340
expenditure
00:53:21.220
of money
00:53:22.060
that
00:53:24.080
involves
00:53:24.460
politics
00:53:25.060
that
00:53:27.180
means
00:53:27.660
if
00:53:27.900
a
00:53:28.040
little
00:53:28.200
old
00:53:28.480

00:53:32.160

00:53:32.680
a

00:53:34.820
puts

up
00:53:35.360
a

says
00:53:38.400
Joe
00:53:39.000
Biden
00:53:39.400
is
00:53:39.600
a
00:53:39.760
dumbass
00:53:40.400
that
00:53:42.740
the
00:53:42.900
federal
00:53:43.140
government
00:53:43.560
could
00:53:43.800
make it
00:53:44.100
a

felony
00:53:44.560
and
00:53:44.780
lock
00:53:45.020
her
00:53:45.120
up
00:53:45.280

00:53:45.380
put

her
00:53:45.620
in
00:53:45.780
jail
00:53:46.020
that
00:53:47.740
also
00:53:48.060
means
00:53:48.400
by
00:53:48.620
the
00:53:48.760
way
00:53:48.920
the
00:53:49.080
federal
00:53:49.320
government
00:53:49.780
could
00:53:50.440
lock
00:53:50.780
up
00:53:51.080
Simon
00:53:52.020
and
00:53:52.240
Schuster
00:53:52.600
could
00:53:52.880
lock
00:53:53.200
up
00:53:53.420
a
00:53:53.560
movie
00:53:53.800
producer
00:53:54.300
could
00:53:57.180
each
00:53:57.300
the
00:53:57.460
federal
00:53:57.640
government
00:53:58.020
didn't
00:53:58.320
like
00:53:58.580
it
00:53:58.960
also
00:53:59.240
means
00:53:59.540
by
00:53:59.720
the
00:53:59.860
way
00:54:00.120
they
00:54:00.580
could
00:54:00.760
lock
00:54:01.020
up
00:54:01.200
any
00:54:01.400
union
00:54:01.700
organizer
00:54:02.240
who
00:54:03.160
spends
00:54:03.540
even
00:54:03.780
a
00:54:03.960
dollar
00:54:04.260
trying
00:54:04.620
to
00:54:04.780
organize
00:54:05.200
people
00:54:05.540
in a
00:54:05.780
union
00:54:06.040
I
00:54:09.300
led
00:54:09.580
the fight
00:54:09.940
against it
00:54:10.460
at the
00:54:10.680
time I
00:54:11.120
was the
00:54:11.360
ranking
00:54:11.640
member
00:54:11.980
on the
00:54:12.200
Constitution
00:54:12.580
Subcommittee
00:54:13.260
of the
00:54:13.460
Senate
00:54:13.600
Judiciary
00:54:14.060
Committee
00:54:14.480
you can
00:54:17.580
go online
00:54:18.260
and watch
00:54:18.820
I debated
00:54:19.320
Al Franken
00:54:19.980
when he
00:54:20.380
was a
00:54:20.680
senator
00:54:20.900
before he
00:54:21.460
resigned
00:54:21.940
in
00:54:22.100
disgrace
00:54:22.500
really
00:54:23.660
a sad
00:54:24.000
day
00:54:24.200
for
00:54:24.340
America
00:54:24.580
I
00:54:26.700
asked Al
00:54:27.260
Franken
00:54:27.600
I
00:54:27.820
said
00:54:28.000
I
00:54:28.080
got
00:54:28.280
three
00:54:28.540
simple
00:54:28.940
questions
00:54:29.580
should
00:54:31.460
the
00:54:31.640
federal
00:54:31.900
government
00:54:32.340
be able
00:54:32.800
to
00:54:32.960
ban
00:54:33.220
books
00:54:33.600
yes
00:54:33.860
or
00:54:34.000
no
00:54:34.240
should
00:54:35.560
the
00:54:35.720
federal
00:54:35.960
government
00:54:36.300
be able
00:54:36.640
to
00:54:36.800
ban
00:54:37.060

00:54:37.480
yes
00:54:37.780
or
00:54:37.920
no
00:54:38.160
and
00:54:39.580
should
00:54:39.760
the
00:54:39.900
federal
00:54:40.160
government
00:54:40.560
be able
00:54:40.980
to
00:54:41.120
criminalize
00:54:41.820
the
00:54:41.960
NAACP
00:54:42.980
because
00:54:45.520
after the
00:54:47.320
Democrats
00:54:47.780
retreated
00:54:48.440
from their
00:54:48.820
first version
00:54:49.600
of the
00:54:49.820
amendment
00:54:50.100
they shifted
00:54:50.680
to another
00:54:51.100
version
00:54:51.440
they said
00:54:51.860
well this
00:54:52.620
is only
00:54:53.160
true
00:54:53.620
for
00:54:53.860
corporations
00:54:54.500
well you
00:54:56.060
know what
00:54:56.300
Paramount Pictures
00:54:57.000
is a

corporation
00:54:57.760
under their
00:54:59.100

you could

corporation
00:55:07.840
under their
00:55:08.420

00:55:08.760
they could
00:55:09.200
criminalize
00:55:10.100
membership
00:55:10.840
in the
00:55:11.140
NAACP
00:55:12.000
we were
00:55:14.380
in the
00:55:15.020
senate
00:55:15.260
I introduced
00:55:15.880
a substitute
00:55:16.580
amendment
00:55:17.020
to replace
00:55:18.840

word for
00:55:27.600
word for

democrat
00:55:32.500
voted
00:55:32.800
no
00:55:33.000

00:55:34.880
went
00:55:35.100
to the
00:55:35.400
senate
00:55:35.620
floor
00:55:36.000

00:55:36.180

this
00:55:42.240
