00:00:10.540
And these are the stories that you may have missed that we talked about this week.
00:00:14.360
First up, illegal immigrants in this country are actually being recruited to vote in our elections.
0.87
00:00:23.240
In the same offices of our government where they come in to get financial aid from our
00:00:33.540
Also, Joe Biden losing the African-American community at a record number with new poll
00:00:40.520
numbers showing that black voters are moving to Trump in a massive swing.
00:00:49.040
And finally, Senator Cruz goes after one Biden judicial nominee.
00:00:57.800
It's the Weekend Review, and it starts right now.
00:01:02.080
There was also new details that came out about how non-citizens are getting voter registration
00:01:16.280
And just to break this down so people understand, United States welfare offices, as well as other
00:01:24.360
government agencies under the Biden administration in 49 different states in this country, are
00:01:32.480
now providing voter registration forms to illegal immigrants without requiring proof of citizenship.
00:01:48.880
And I'll say the New York Post had an important article on this past weekend entitled,
00:01:57.420
How Non-Citizens Are Getting Voter Registration Forms Across the United States and How Republicans
00:02:03.460
And it describes how every state but Arizona, and Arizona recently passed a law barring the
00:02:10.520
practice on state but not federal forms, every other state gives applicants for either welfare
00:02:16.020
benefits, driver's licenses, or in some cases mail-in ballots, gives them voter registration
00:02:25.380
And there's no requirement on federal forms to provide proof of U.S. citizenship, although
00:02:31.740
it is illegal to falsely claim one is a citizen or for a non-citizen to cast a ballot.
00:02:36.660
But of course, if you're not asking for proof of citizenship, I guess it's just sort of wink,
00:02:41.640
wink, trust me, and we just will take it on an honor system that you're not going to do it.
00:02:47.200
It's also, if you think about this, if you know you're voting illegally, but you're voting for
00:02:53.440
the people that claim they're going to give you amnesty, and you already broke into the United
00:02:57.260
States of America, it's not a far-stretched senator to think, of course they're going to
00:03:02.040
sign up to vote because they're going to vote for the party that's about to hand them amnesty.
00:03:09.820
The reason the Democrats are allowing and actively facilitating this invasion is they want
00:03:16.280
voters, and they recognize that illegal immigrants are very likely to vote Democrat, that if you're
00:03:21.740
willing to break the law, if you're coming here illegally, that you're going to go with the
1.00
00:03:26.240
party that is inviting you to break the law and is coming showering you with benefits and looking
00:03:33.420
And look, a lot of the problem stems back from a law that was passed in 1993 called the National
00:03:39.540
Voter Registration Act, and it was signed into law by Bill Clinton.
00:03:42.720
It was also called the Motor Voter Law, and what it did is it ordered states to register
00:03:49.600
voters at the Department of Motor Vehicles and also at agencies where Americans apply for
00:03:56.560
public benefits, and those offices, in turn, are required by federal law to hand the registration
00:04:02.180
forms along with the application papers over to the federal government.
00:04:07.620
And if an applicant simply attests, if they say, yep, I'm a U.S. citizen, that is considered
00:04:14.020
valid on its face, and that person is then registered to vote.
00:04:19.540
And so the challenge right now is that millions of illegal immigrants with humanitarian parole or
0.99
00:04:27.760
with refugee or asylum status are eligible right now for benefits that brings them to the offices
00:04:38.500
Millions of these illegal immigrants are going to the offices where the offices are handing
00:04:45.740
And I want to pause for a second and reflect on how the Motor Voter Law passed, because it
00:04:52.860
had in 1992, it had passed Congress, and George Herbert Walker Bush had vetoed it.
00:04:59.680
But then in 1993, look, elections have consequences.
00:05:03.720
And when Bill Clinton got elected, it passed again.
00:05:07.300
But I'll tell you, in the Senate, the reason it passed in the Senate, so every Democrat voted yes.
00:05:14.140
So the Democrats get exactly what they're doing.
00:05:27.940
In other words, if the Republicans had voted no, they could have killed it.
00:05:32.060
But just going through this, and I'm just looking down the list of the Republicans,
00:05:57.120
If just three of them had voted no, this bill wouldn't pass.
00:06:01.320
And it's frustrating because the Democrats all get in line.
00:06:06.140
They get that they are engaged in an effort to stay in power.
00:06:12.220
Look, when the bill passed, it's not an accident that they put voter registration in welfare offices.
00:06:18.620
It says, hey, if you want welfare, register to vote for the people giving you welfare.
1.00
00:06:28.500
And the bill doesn't require proof of citizenship.
00:06:32.780
Because Republican senators were idiots enough to vote for it.
1.00
00:06:35.640
Now, to be clear, none of those senators are still in the Senate.
1.00
00:06:48.180
But it's a pattern that has happened over and over again.
00:06:53.860
So let's break this down, because I think this is an important point for people to end on.
00:07:01.140
And Democrats are really good, Senator, at counting.
00:07:04.600
They know how many millions of illegal immigrants are in this country on humanitarian parole as refugees, asylum status.
00:07:15.160
They know how many of them can go in and get different forms of government aid.
00:07:23.180
And they understand that then once you're in the federal system, whether it's to get welfare benefits, a driver's license, there's a instant pathway to go, hey, here's your register to vote paperwork.
00:07:41.040
And these millions of migrants that are walking in and out of government offices are now open to that.
00:07:49.940
This isn't just a one off for a couple of people or as Democrats, I describe it within, you know, an asterisk when you're counting votes.
00:07:57.180
This could be catastrophic to canceling out American voters with illegal immigrants who were literally saying, fill this out, turn it in and you can vote, even though we know we're handing them to illegal immigrants.
0.98
00:08:15.100
They've always been the party of government, the party of big government, their party of high taxes.
00:08:21.200
And they want they want to make people dependent on government.
00:08:29.280
They trap people tragically in generations of dependency.
00:08:33.060
And the price that they extract, it's a little bit like a drug dealer going and preying on kids in a junior high.
00:08:44.500
And the price, if they want to keep getting their fix of what the drug dealing Democrats are providing, their price is just make sure you vote for Democrats.
00:08:56.640
Now, look, in the House, the House is taking up a bill called the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, the SAVE Act, which the House Administration Committee last month passed.
00:09:08.200
And this bill requires states to receive proof of citizenship whenever anyone registers to vote by mail or at a DMV office or at a welfare agency office.
00:09:21.080
And here's what Mike Johnson, the Speaker of the House, said following the approval of the bill.
00:09:27.620
He said, quote, as President Biden has welcomed millions of illegal immigrants through our borders, including sophisticated criminal syndicates and foreign adversaries, it is incumbent upon Congress to implement greater enforcement measures that secure the voter registration process and ensure only American citizens decide the outcome of American elections.
00:09:46.460
And yet, astonishingly, the Democrats are fighting this.
00:09:52.560
So, for example, there's a left-leaning operation called the Campaign Legal Center that has said that the SAVE Act is, quote, a shameful measure that will undermine trust in the electoral process.
00:10:04.460
And they dismiss concerns about non-citizen voting by saying it hasn't taken place at any meaningful level, quote, it is a fabrication being peddled for personal and political gain by leaders who should know better.
00:10:19.160
Shameful bills like the SAVE Act often result in eligible U.S. citizens being incorrectly prevented from voting or being forced to jump through additional hoops to exercise their freedom to vote.
00:10:39.060
The Democrats are very happy to salute and follow the line.
00:10:45.760
Right now, at least 19 states plus Washington, D.C., allow non-citizens to obtain driver's licenses.
00:10:52.840
So in nearly half the states, you don't have to be a citizen to get a driver's license.
00:10:57.060
And that is something that Biden supported during his presidential campaign.
00:11:01.620
By the way, Biden was one of the Democrats who voted for Motor Voter.
00:11:05.160
So he is just implementing the plan now from the executive side instead of the legislative side.
00:11:11.520
And tragically, this pattern of amnesty and voting answers the question that I asked at the beginning of this pod.
00:11:21.080
Why are Democrats willing to look the other way?
00:11:23.560
Why don't they care about the people being killed?
0.99
00:11:26.620
Why don't they care about the women being raped?
0.98
00:11:28.680
Why don't they care about the children being assaulted?
0.93
00:11:31.520
And it's because they've made a very cynical decision that staying in power is worth it.
00:11:37.160
And if innocent people have to die, I guess that's a price they're willing to pay.
00:11:42.520
Now, if you want to hear the rest of this conversation, you can go back and listen to the full podcast from earlier this week.
00:11:48.860
Canadian women are looking for more, more out of themselves, their businesses, their elected leaders, and the world around them.
0.98
00:11:55.880
And that's why we're thrilled to introduce the Honest Talk podcast.
00:12:02.000
And in this podcast, we interview Canada's most inspiring women.
00:12:05.760
Entrepreneurs, artists, athletes, politicians, and newsmakers, all at different stages of their journey.
00:12:11.500
So if you're looking to connect, then we hope you'll join us.
00:12:14.480
Listen to the Honest Talk podcast on iHeartRadio or wherever you listen to your podcasts.
00:12:22.960
I want to also get to another story, and this one actually makes me laugh.
00:12:28.840
CNN, and rarely do I get to say this, has been left speechless, Senator, after polling fines.
00:12:40.700
After polling fines, Donald Trump headed for, quote-unquote, historic performance with black voters.
0.84
00:12:47.620
Now, there's two parts of this that we should just bring up at the very beginning.
00:12:52.540
One, it is amazing that no one's calling out just the straight-up racism aspect of this,
00:12:59.300
that the Democratic Party and the media just assumes that if you're black, you must support the Democratic Party.
00:13:04.540
And if you don't, then you're basically, in their mind, not a real black person.
0.94
00:13:17.280
You can't leave the Democratic plantation to think for yourself because you must be a Democrat,
00:13:25.120
a modern-day slave, in essence, to the Democratic Party.
00:13:27.740
And now they can't believe that Donald Trump is headed for literally historic performance with African-American voters saying,
00:13:35.680
we don't like what's happening under the Biden administration.
00:13:39.120
And Biden's support from black voters under the age of 50 has cratered over the last four years.
00:13:51.500
They are shocked that they come in with an assumption that anyone who is African-American must support the Democrats.
0.67
00:13:59.900
As Joe Biden famously or infamously said, if you're not supporting me, you ain't black.
00:14:06.680
Which is just an arrogance that I think suffuses the current Democrat Party.
00:14:14.840
And it's worth, well, I'll tell you what, just listen to CNN as they're discussing these polling numbers.
00:14:24.820
So where does the race stand among African-American voters right now?
00:14:28.020
Yeah, I keep looking for this to change, to go back to a historical norm.
00:14:34.340
So this is the margin, or Biden and Trump among black voters, compare where we were at this point in 2020, compare where we are now.
00:14:40.740
You know, at this point, look at this, in 2020, Joe Biden was getting 86% of the African-American vote.
00:14:53.180
And more than that, it's not just that Joe Biden is losing ground, it's that Donald Trump is gaining ground.
00:14:59.540
You go from 7%, single digits at this point in 2020, to now 21%.
00:15:05.740
And again, John, I keep looking for signs that this is going to go back to normal, and I don't see it yet in the polling.
00:15:12.020
If anything, right now, we're careening towards a historic performance for a Republican presidential candidate, the likes of which we have not seen in six decades.
00:15:23.760
They're basically saying, we need to go back to normal, and you guys need to get back on the Democratic plantation.
00:15:30.040
Yeah, look, it is not subtle who CNN is rooting for.
00:15:39.420
And they're shocked, and they're terrified, and they are freaking out.
00:15:45.160
And listen, I think this is an incredibly important shift.
00:15:49.800
I think we're seeing African-American voters moving towards Republicans.
00:15:53.500
I think we're seeing Hispanic voters moving towards Republicans even faster.
00:15:56.780
And I think that is part of the broader demographic shift we're seeing of blue-collar voters that are moving towards Republicans.
00:16:04.600
We're seeing the old conventional wisdom was that Republicans were the party of the rich and Democrats were the party of the poor and working class.
00:16:12.940
I'm not sure that was ever true, but it is especially not true now.
00:16:19.400
Today, Democrats are the party of rich coastal elites.
00:16:22.660
They're the party of big tech billionaires and Hollywood moguls and California environmentalist billionaires.
00:16:29.620
And I think Republicans, we are the party of truck drivers and steel workers and cops and firefighters and waiters and waitresses and everyone who works for a living and has calluses on their hands.
00:16:39.440
And I think also, so there's an overlap, listen, if you're right now, let's say you're an Hispanic guy in South Texas, and you work in the oil fields, and you drive a pickup truck, and you go bird hunting on the weekends, you're voting Republican.
00:16:57.860
Number one, you're seeing the invasion at our southern border the Democrats have caused.
00:17:01.780
But number two, the Democrats have declared war on your livelihood and way of life.
00:17:06.920
And so we're seeing Hispanics moving, Republicans significantly, but African Americans, we're seeing movement as well.
00:17:12.260
Not as rapidly, but listen, the simple reality, and I'm going to give Donald Trump credit.
00:17:22.660
He said, listen, for the black community, your lives have gotten a lot worse under Joe Biden and the Democrats.
00:17:29.240
Between inflation, between crime, you look at what has happened, and he made the point.
00:17:34.400
Illegal immigration, who do you think 11 million illegal immigrants are taking jobs from?
00:17:41.060
Jake Tapper is not losing his job to an illegal immigrant.
1.00
00:17:45.100
It's actually a point, you remember, I made in 2016 in the presidential, where I said,
00:17:52.580
if you suddenly had, crossing the border, a bunch of lawyers and bankers and journalists coming here to take the job of rich professionals in the media,
00:18:10.060
But their view is, no, no, no, that's fine to bring 11 million people in who take the job of low-income workers,
00:18:15.960
who take the job of the working class, who take the job of a lot of legal immigrants in the Hispanic community,
00:18:21.940
and who take the jobs of African Americans and drive down their wages.
00:18:30.020
I mean, the numbers among African American voters have more than doubled,
00:18:36.120
Well, this goes back to a podcast that we did with, actually, your congressman, Wesley Hunt.
00:18:41.400
Where he was on this show, and I would encourage people to go back and listen to it,
00:18:44.820
but he discussed the bigotry of low expectations that the Democrats put on African Americans.
00:18:50.980
And he said at the time, and I'm going back to this quote because I wrote it down,
00:18:56.780
And he was talking about how the Democratic Party has really victimized the African American community
00:19:03.940
with low expectations, high crime, high poverty, and basically the government getting you addicted to poverty.
00:19:13.220
And I encourage people to go back and listen to it,
00:19:15.140
but that seems to be the case, in essence, that Donald Trump is now making.
00:19:19.420
And Fox, by the way, when these new poll numbers came out,
00:19:24.760
The poll has widened down nearly 30% among black voters since the 2020 election.
00:19:40.280
Congressman James Clyburn of South Carolina downplaying the numbers here.
00:19:43.800
He says, I don't think black voters have left the fold.
00:19:46.060
I don't know what is going on with the polling taking place here.
00:19:59.180
Prominent black Democrats are setting off alarm bells over Biden's black voter problems.
00:20:04.020
I mean, the arrogance there of just Clyburn, who's saying, I don't believe this.
00:20:13.660
As he said, that's not going on all over the country.
00:20:18.700
It's it's it's again, I go back to this idea and what Wesley Hunt said on the show.
00:20:23.380
The Democratic Party believes they own the own the black community and you cannot leave.
00:20:29.720
Well, listen, I would encourage listeners go back, as you just said, Ben, listen to the
00:20:36.080
And actually, that was one of the video ones we did.
00:20:39.200
But also go back and listen or watch the podcast we did with Eric Johnson, the mayor of mayor
00:20:44.900
of Dallas, who's African-American, and he was elected as a Democrat mayor of Dallas.
00:20:49.240
He's now become a Republican, both of both with Wesley Hunt and Eric Johnson.
00:20:55.260
We have a real discussion about how the Democrat agenda has has utterly failed the African-American
00:21:01.720
And the approach of Democrats is not to provide real policy solutions, but it's instead to
00:21:08.040
demagogue, you remember Joe Biden went, I think it was in front of the NAACP, if I remember
00:21:12.760
correctly, where he said, they're going to put y'all back in chains, which is ridiculous.
0.77
00:21:17.900
And by the way, if you want to talk about about who enslaved African-Americans, the answer
0.89
00:21:23.460
It was Democrats who were the party of slavery.
0.67
00:21:26.040
It was Democrats who founded the Ku Klux Klan.
0.75
00:21:28.260
It was Democrats who wrote the Jim Crow laws.
0.80
00:21:32.540
The Republican Party was founded to end slavery.
00:21:38.320
The first Republican president was Abraham Lincoln.
00:21:40.940
The Democrats record on race issues have been horrible.
00:21:48.300
And I do think you're seeing African-American voters saying, all right, enough already.
0.97
00:21:54.480
And by the way, I'll give you three issues that I think resonate powerfully in the black
00:22:03.220
And African-Americans are getting hammered by that.
00:22:05.520
Number two, safety and the combination of the invasion at our southern border, which is
00:22:10.940
endangering African-Americans and all Americans.
00:22:14.820
But also the Democrats undermining the police, undermining, pushing for defunding the police,
00:22:22.780
That has resulted in a lot more African-Americans being murdered.
00:22:26.560
And the Democrats like to say Black Lives Matter.
00:22:29.040
Well, their radical policies result in more African-Americans being victims of murder.
0.60
00:22:39.540
I think it is the most important domestic issue in the country.
00:22:42.580
It is the civil rights issue of the 21st century.
00:22:45.400
And today's Democrats are the modern day Bull Connor.
00:22:50.800
They are standing at the school door saying, we will not let low-income students out.
00:22:56.200
I believe every child in Texas and every child in America should have a right to access excellent
00:23:02.720
It ought to be about education, freedom, the student and your parents should decide, not
00:23:11.080
Finally, just to expand on this, it's not just African-American voters that Biden has lost
00:23:20.640
For example, another policy that Trump has doubled down on, mass deportations, is now popular
00:23:27.520
in this country, the majority of registered voters favor a new national program to deport
00:23:33.320
all undocumented immigrants currently living in the U.S.
00:23:42.640
Now, a majority of Hispanics, Senator, favor mass deportations in America as well, 53 to 47.
00:23:51.020
And this is another blow to Joe Biden with, quote, minority voters.
00:23:58.420
And it is the fruits of the failures of Democrat open border policies that are people are seeing
00:24:07.060
And I'll tell you, years ago, I was doing a national interview with Jorge Ramos.
00:24:12.360
Jorge Ramos was, of course, is the national journalist.
00:24:19.980
And he accused me of being, and I'm going to quote him, a traitor to my race because I
00:24:30.240
And his view was, as an Hispanic, I'm not allowed to support securing the border.
00:24:36.040
He practically yelled on me on national television that I'm a traitor to my race.
00:24:39.820
And I asked him, I said, Jorge, tell me, what would happen if I went illegally to Mexico?
00:24:48.300
And it's like, well, OK, if Mexico is allowed to enforce its laws, why is America, why are
00:24:58.360
And, you know, Jorge Ramos chairs the national news program on Univision.
00:25:04.620
And yet the view that he characterizes as a traitor to your race is now, as you noted,

00:25:56.340
I want to get back to the big story number three of the week you may have missed.
00:26:05.960
And that is your interaction specifically with Biden judicial nominees.
00:26:11.500
Biden has nominated a judge with ties to communists.
00:26:16.660
You had a chance to have a conversation with this nominee.
00:26:20.780
Carla Campbell for literally she worked openly with a Marxist organization.
00:26:29.880
Yeah, look, we had this morning a judicial confirmation hearing with actually two Court
00:26:34.540
of Appeals nominees, one to the First Circuit Court of Appeals, one to the Sixth Circuit Court
00:26:40.380
The one to the First Circuit Court of Appeals is a judge in Maine who repeatedly has given
00:26:45.380
incredibly soft and lenient sentences to vicious criminals.
00:26:50.080
There was one guy who was a child molester who molested two little girls, one five years
00:26:57.280
This judge sentenced him to just six years and described from the bench, she said, I can
00:27:04.280
This is to the child molester repeatedly molesting a five-year-old, nine-year-old girl.
00:27:08.780
There was another woman, a mom, whose one-year-old baby died of fentanyl poisoning.
00:27:16.900
She had drug dealing all throughout her apartment.
1.00
00:27:19.640
This one-year-old child massively overdosed of fentanyl.
00:27:23.840
When he was found, his pajamas were coated in fentanyl.
00:27:28.120
The sheets that he was lying on were coated in fentanyl.
00:27:32.520
He had enough fentanyl in his system to kill four adults, one year old.
00:27:38.560
She could have sentenced this mother to 30 years in jail for murdering her child with
1.00
00:27:51.760
Most of the hearing, she got very few questions.
00:27:57.160
The other nominee has been actively supporting radicals and literally communists.
00:28:04.360
She has been a volunteer supporting a communist group that is openly calling for a workers'
00:28:14.780
She also supported a radical left-wing candidate for Congress.
0.95
00:28:19.200
Just give a listen, because I questioned her vigorously, and she would not answer a damn
0.56
00:28:28.840
Ms. Campbell, I will say I have seen some astonishing nominees from this administration,
00:28:34.380
but I have to admit your record takes the cake.
00:28:39.480
Your record demonstrates to me a long history of being a political activist, but not just
00:28:46.000
an activist, an activist who affiliates with extreme and radical organizations.
00:28:51.780
Now, when Senator Grassley asked you about the Workers' Dignity Organization, you gave, I think,
00:29:02.520
You said you did not represent them, and that convinced Senator Grassley not to continue
00:29:07.900
You have been a legal advisor to that organization since 2013.
00:29:13.360
That is what you have publicly printed on your AVO biography.
00:29:19.960
It is what has been described in the Tennessee Bar Association when you were nominated.
00:29:25.340
It explicitly says she served as a legal advisor for local workers' rights, nonprofit workers'
00:29:30.560
Now, why is it you're distancing yourself from them?
00:29:33.200
The reason is because they are utterly radical.
00:29:35.760
If you look at this group that you've served as the legal advisor for, for over a decade,
00:29:50.200
According to their own characterization of their views, this group says there's no election
00:29:58.060
The laws of this country have never worked for our people, and now that the system is crumbling,
00:30:01.880
we will continue to stand in community and solidarity with each other.
00:30:05.060
The only way we win in a world we deserve is by building a multiracial, working-class revolution
00:30:11.560
that can push out white nationalism, violent state racism, and the capitalist class that
00:30:17.220
is desperately clutching to hold control and profits as the people rise up.
00:30:22.060
Why have you spent a decade as a legal advisor to an openly communist and Marxist organization?
00:30:26.920
If I could briefly clarify, more than a decade ago, probably for the course of two or three years,
00:30:35.480
I served on an advisory board that helped this, at the time, was supposed to be a non-profit
00:30:41.900
workers' rights organization, get set up and get started.
00:30:45.860
Did you know they were a communist organization?
00:30:47.680
Senator, at that time, none, they, they did not express these kinds of views.
00:30:55.980
Yes, and I have not been affiliated with them in more than a decade.
00:31:00.420
You're aware that your current profile that you have up, your legal bio,
00:31:08.900
So your testimony under oath, and that's all right, the facts will come out,
00:31:11.720
but your testimony under oath, I want to make it explicit.
00:31:14.360
Your testimony under oath is that you have done absolutely nothing
00:31:20.220
I have not served on their advisory board for...
00:31:23.220
You've done absolutely nothing and had zero contact with them for how long?
00:31:31.940
Okay, if you look at other statements from this organization, because they are radicals.
00:31:37.040
If you look also, this is the same group in 2020.
00:31:40.360
They called for abolishing ICE, abolishing prisons and detention centers, and abolishing the police.
00:31:45.820
Why did you volunteer for a communist organization that calls for abolishing ICE and abolishing the police?
00:31:52.960
Senator, I have never seen these comments before.
00:32:02.780
If you volunteered to be a legal advisor, you were a volunteer.
00:32:12.420
Well, it's amazing, because a minute ago, you also told Senator Graham that the Tennessee Immigrant and Refugee Rights Coalition that has a manifesto calling for abolishing ICE,
00:32:22.660
you said you had nothing to do with it, which is fairly astonishing, because on page three of their manifesto, they thank you by name for what they say.
00:32:32.920
We would like to thank the following individuals and organizations for their thoughtful feedback and input.
00:32:37.340
This platform would not have been possible without their expertise.
00:32:49.300
Did you give feedback and input, which is what they say on the cover page?
00:32:54.620
Senator, I didn't even know that existed, and so, no, I did not provide input on it.
00:32:59.080
And why, you know, when Senator Graham asked why you gave money to this radical candidate who has said 52 senators are Jim Crow senators,
00:33:09.360
and said multiple of us are siding with the devil, you laughed and thought that was funny.
00:33:15.920
Look, that candidate was as radical as I've ever seen.
00:33:19.140
And when Senator Graham asked why you gave money to that candidate, you just smiled and didn't answer.
00:33:24.380
So why did you give money to a radical candidate who believes multiple members of the Senate are siding with the devil?
00:33:32.860
Actually, Senator Whitehouse, you weren't here before.
00:33:34.840
But in exchange with the chairman where Senator Kennedy asked for longer periods because you have two circuit justices,
00:33:40.260
and the chairman said he was going to give additional time.
00:33:42.560
So the comment they want to be gaveled as part of the show is not accurate.
00:33:46.200
And Senator Welch said he was going to give additional time.
00:33:49.340
In fact, he said at the beginning he was going to give six minutes.
00:33:51.380
So my question, you did not answer, Senator Graham.
00:34:00.360
Because it seems like more than six has passed.
00:34:07.920
Why did you give money to this radical candidate?
00:34:13.840
Senator, again, I'm not familiar with these comments.
00:34:16.840
Why did you give money to this radical candidate?
00:34:30.560
You're refusing to answer why you gave money to her?
00:34:37.480
What is the affirmative reason you gave $1,500?
00:34:40.080
There was something you saw in her that you said, this needs $1,500.
00:34:47.580
Would you please ask the witness to answer the question?
00:35:15.320
Are you going to answer, Ms. Campbell, or does this committee not deserve to know why
00:35:18.740
you gave money to a radical who says we are aligned?
00:35:21.740
Mr. Chairman, I have a lot of other senators of busy days.
00:35:26.100
So you don't want an answer to the question either, Senator Booker?
00:35:30.400
Are you able to answer the question, Ms. Campbell, or do you believe this committee doesn't deserve
00:35:40.700
If the senator doesn't like the answer, he can take it.
00:35:48.720
It's amazing, by the way, they said she answered the question.
00:35:55.320
I've never seen – so this particular judicial nominee, she presents as a sort of very mousy, shy woman, which is really weird because she volunteers for communists.
00:36:09.280
And she had – so, Chuck Grassley asked her, hey, you volunteered for this communist group.
00:36:18.860
And he was like, oh, well, okay, I guess my staff got that wrong.
00:36:24.820
And then Lindsey Graham asked, and he asked her, why'd you give money to this?
00:36:27.960
I mean, this was a radical candidate who literally said all 52 Republicans who voted against Ketanji Brown-Jackson – or all 52 Republicans, not who voted against Ketanji Brown-Jackson, but 52 Republicans were Jim Crow Republicans, including, by the way, Tim Scott.
00:36:50.460
He's African-American, but she called Tim Scott a white supremacist.
00:36:54.120
This was this judicial candidate's single largest donation.
00:36:58.060
She gave $1,500 more than she'd ever given to any political candidate.
00:37:01.720
And Lindsey asked her, said, why did you give the money?
00:37:08.520
So I went and asked her, why'd you give the money?
00:37:11.840
She had the weirdest – I've never seen a candidate do this, where you have a question,
00:37:18.560
And then what happened is a bunch of Democrat senators rush in.
00:37:23.440
He's trying to gavel down, saying, no, no, no, no, I don't want to answer this question.
00:37:30.260
None of them were there for most of the hearing.
00:37:32.380
And Sheldon Whitehouse came in and said, oh, just gavel them down.
00:37:36.380
And then Cory Booker was just trying to stop the bleeding.
00:37:41.720
Do you know how many Democrat senators on Judiciary Committee asked her,
00:37:44.800
hey, why'd you represent a communist organization?
00:37:52.440
Do you know, none of them – it is a bizarre thing.
00:37:57.160
There is no independent free thinking among the Democrats.
00:38:01.580
Listen, when Donald Trump was president, he nominated some terrific judges.
00:38:08.060
He had some judicial nominees that were mistakes, that were bad nominees.
00:38:16.520
That's actually under the Constitution the job of the Senate.
0.93
00:38:24.020
They're just a rubber stamp and they're willing – this is a woman who's volunteering
0.65
00:38:28.480
for multiple organizations that are calling for abolishing ICE and abolishing the police.
00:38:32.920
And the Democrats will all be like the Politburo and vote, duh, that sounds like a federal appellate judge to us.
00:38:41.720
At the end of the day, the question everybody's asking right now is, is she going to get confirmed?
00:38:52.320
And I actually think the reason they paired them – so typically the Judiciary Committee, they'll do one Court of Appeals judge at a time.
00:39:01.140
And I think the reason they did this is I think they knew this woman's record was pretty radical and she was going to have a really rough time.
00:39:08.680
I think they really want the left-wing judge from Maine on the First Circuit.
00:39:14.240
And they know that her record is terrible, too.
00:39:17.400
She keeps letting violent criminals go with really, really short prison sentences.
00:39:22.680
But they knew – so, you know, look, I spent, I don't know, 45 seconds laying out the terrible record about this judge letting violent criminals go early.
00:39:39.660
They know the Sixth Circuit judge will go down, that she's not going to get the votes.
00:39:43.420
But they're trying to ram the other judge through.
00:39:45.540
And the other judge from Maine got a bumpy ride, but a much better ride than if she'd been solo and people had actually been able to really dive into her record.
