This is an iHeart Podcast.
00:00:02.420
Guaranteed human.
00:00:04.700
Unhinged.
00:00:06.340
Extreme.
00:00:07.960
The worst kind of bigot.
00:00:10.840
Those are the words that the establishment media used to describe my co-host because they were shocked.
00:00:18.020
They were appalled to find out that there is at least one Republican in the country
00:00:23.000
who has not completely changed his views of the Constitution over the last seven years.
00:00:28.640
This is Verdict with Ted Cruz.
00:00:36.880
This episode of Verdict with Ted Cruz is sponsored by American Hartford Gold.
00:00:41.020
If you're like me, then you are growing more and more concerned about the state of our country
00:00:45.540
and about your own future.
00:00:47.920
Inflation is at the highest rate that we've seen in 40 years, and interest rates are skyrocketing.
00:00:53.000
In fact, market experts like Jamie Dimon, who is the CEO of J.P. Morgan,
00:00:57.920
are not only predicting that we will face an economic recession,
00:01:01.540
they're using phrases like economic hurricane and unprecedented.
00:01:06.400
If you want to protect your future, then do what I did.
00:01:09.900
Call the only precious metal dealers that I trust, American Hartford Gold.
00:01:14.340
They can show you how to hedge your hard-earned savings against inflation
00:01:17.860
by diversifying a portion of your portfolio into physical gold and silver.
00:01:22.340
All it takes to get started is a short phone call,
00:01:25.240
and they'll have physical gold and silver shipped directly to your door,
00:01:28.380
or perhaps into your IRA or 401k.
00:01:31.900
And they make it easy.
00:01:32.880
They're the highest rated firm in the business with an A-plus rating from the Better Business Bureau
00:01:36.420
and thousands of satisfied clients.
00:01:38.720
And if you call them right now, they will give you up to $1,500 of free silver
00:01:42.980
and a free safe on your first qualifying order.
00:01:45.960
So don't wait.
00:01:47.040
Call them now.
00:01:48.100
Call 855-768-1883.
00:01:51.640
That's 855-768-1883.
00:01:55.500
Or if you prefer text messaging, you can text the word CACTUS to 65532.
00:02:01.460
Again, the phone number is 855-768-1883.
00:02:06.780
Or you can send the word CACTUS via text message to 65532.
00:02:11.360
You'll be glad you did.
00:02:12.320
Welcome back to Verdict with Ted Cruz.
00:02:15.280
I'm Michael Knowles.
00:02:16.580
Senator, before we begin, I want to get to a ton of mailbag questions today
00:02:21.300
because we have a ton of new subscribers
00:02:24.420
because you and this show and even the series,
00:02:28.900
the subscriber-only series cloakroom of this show,
00:02:31.180
have been all over the news all week
00:02:32.920
because you had the gall, the temerity,
00:02:36.400
to express the view on marriage
00:02:39.780
that was held by literally every single person in the country,
00:02:43.200
including Barack Obama,
00:02:45.160
about 10 or 11 years ago.
00:02:47.020
And you expressed a view of the Constitution
00:02:50.280
that has been held by conservatives since time immemorial.
00:02:54.940
How dare you, sir?
00:02:57.540
We are living in a strange and bizarre land.
00:03:00.300
I will say we've crossed a threshold.
00:03:01.760
So multiple times on Verdict,
00:03:03.900
this podcast has driven the agenda and discussion.
00:03:07.320
And indeed, we've seen the Biden White House
00:03:10.180
from the press room podium
00:03:12.220
responding to this podcast in multiple times.
00:03:16.660
This week, however, we crossed a new threshold.
00:03:19.000
It wasn't just Verdict that was driving the news.
00:03:20.960
It was cloakroom, which is, as you noted,
00:03:23.520
the paid subscriber service on Verdict Plus.
00:03:26.740
That one 18-second snippet that got put out,
00:03:32.240
and it's actually, it's a fascinating illustration
00:03:34.460
of the lefty Twitter media world.
00:03:38.780
So one lefty hack on Twitter
00:03:41.000
put out this 18-second snippet of cloakroom.
00:03:45.220
Every other blue-check lefty immediately amplified it.
00:03:49.140
And within minutes,
00:03:51.120
just about every corporate media outlet
00:03:54.460
was running with it as their key story.
00:03:57.500
And it culminated, amusingly enough, this week
00:03:59.900
in Chuck Schumer, the Senate Majority Leader,
00:04:03.360
denouncing me on the Senate floor as unhinged
00:04:06.560
based on that 18-second snippet
00:04:09.760
from cloakroom,
00:04:12.680
the paid show on Verdict Plus.
00:04:15.460
That, that,
00:04:16.040
we just need to mark that,
00:04:18.780
that new territory,
00:04:20.400
because
00:04:21.240
left-wing Twitter-verse media industrial complex
00:04:28.200
is truly remarkable.
00:04:31.000
And, and apparently they're not as cheap
00:04:32.600
as I thought they were
00:04:33.400
because they're shelling out for the extra service
00:04:35.320
so they can watch the subscriber-only show.
00:04:38.600
So, and I do need to say
00:04:40.100
to every communist,
00:04:41.220
to every leftist,
00:04:42.060
to every Marxist,
00:04:43.040
to every person trying to destroy the country,
00:04:45.260
obviously you need to subscribe to Verdict Plus
00:04:47.500
because you can't know
00:04:49.620
what these nefarious conservative constitutionalists
00:04:54.860
are doing unless you subscribe.
00:04:57.600
And so I, I will take great pleasure
00:04:59.900
at, at, at the Marxist helping fund our podcast
00:05:03.860
and keep this operation going,
00:05:06.640
spreading truth
00:05:07.780
through their absolute sea of lies.
00:05:10.700
That's right.
00:05:11.520
You'll really show us libs
00:05:13.400
by subscribing and watching all of the content
00:05:15.740
that we put out here.
00:05:17.080
Not, not only did your comment
00:05:19.080
drive the news cycle, Senator,
00:05:20.780
it also led to a vote
00:05:23.540
in the House of Representatives
00:05:24.580
to codify the,
00:05:27.040
the Obergefell decision,
00:05:28.500
actually go a little further.
00:05:29.980
Has a podcast ever driven
00:05:31.540
a vote the next week
00:05:33.760
in the U.S. House of Representatives?
00:05:35.360
I, I, I, I'm not aware
00:05:37.140
of that threshold ever being crossed.
00:05:39.440
So the, the House Dems bring this up
00:05:42.360
and it was obviously a ridiculous vote.
00:05:45.700
There is absolutely no risk
00:05:47.840
of the Supreme Court overruling Obergefell.
00:05:50.880
The court majority in Dobbs said as much.
00:05:53.580
Clarence Thomas in his concurrence
00:05:55.200
suggested perhaps we should revisit that
00:05:57.420
in some other cases.
00:05:58.640
He couldn't get a single other justice,
00:06:00.700
including any of the conservatives,
00:06:02.160
to sign on to that.
00:06:03.340
So there, there's really no,
00:06:05.040
as a political matter,
00:06:06.100
there's no risk of this whatsoever.
00:06:08.080
And then the Democrats bring this bill
00:06:11.080
out of their sheer shock and anger
00:06:14.220
that you haven't changed your view on marriage
00:06:16.480
from the view that's been held
00:06:17.620
for all of human history
00:06:18.940
and your view of the Constitution,
00:06:20.620
even more importantly,
00:06:21.820
the way the Constitution
00:06:22.760
should be interpreted and understood.
00:06:25.260
And, and the vote comes up in the House
00:06:26.960
and 47 House Republicans
00:06:30.260
vote to enshrine
00:06:33.340
a new definition of marriage.
00:06:35.680
Yeah.
00:06:36.520
So let's take those one at a time.
00:06:38.480
Let's, let's start with what actually
00:06:40.020
I said on cloakroom.
00:06:41.200
So the 18th snippet,
00:06:42.180
second snippet that they seized upon
00:06:44.220
is where I said that Obergefell
00:06:45.860
was clearly wrong.
00:06:47.280
It was wrongly decided.
00:06:48.480
Um, which is exactly what I said
00:06:51.640
the day it came down.
00:06:52.720
It's what I believed then
00:06:54.900
and every day since then.
00:06:56.400
And it's what virtually every conservative
00:06:59.120
in the planet believed then
00:07:00.640
and still believes now,
00:07:01.940
even if there's some Republicans
00:07:03.100
scared to say it now.
00:07:05.040
Uh, in Obergefell,
00:07:06.440
the Supreme Court struck down
00:07:07.720
the marriage laws of states
00:07:09.900
across the country,
00:07:10.940
invented a brand new right.
00:07:12.580
The proper way I believe
00:07:14.620
under the Constitution
00:07:15.620
to decide the question of marriage
00:07:17.900
and whether marriage should
00:07:18.860
extend to same-sex couples
00:07:20.640
is through the democratic process.
00:07:22.560
And actually the democratic process
00:07:23.860
was moving in that direction.
00:07:25.460
The advocates of gay marriage
00:07:27.900
were winning in multiple states.
00:07:29.540
They were persuading the voters
00:07:30.880
and the democratic process
00:07:32.400
was operating.
00:07:34.180
Those who disagreed
00:07:35.060
were making their case
00:07:36.280
and there was a full-fledged
00:07:37.940
democratic debate
00:07:38.820
until the Supreme Court said,
00:07:40.640
no, sorry, silly people.
00:07:42.020
There's only one right answer.
00:07:43.220
You must adopt what we decree.
00:07:45.560
Um, what they left out
00:07:47.900
is you and I had,
00:07:49.680
actually it was Liz Wheeler and I,
00:07:50.980
had an extended discussion
00:07:52.460
where she asked me
00:07:53.360
the entire cloakroom
00:07:54.300
focused on Clarence Thomas'
00:07:55.960
concurrence in the Dobbs decision
00:07:58.000
where he called into question
00:08:00.420
the substantive due process jurisprudence
00:08:02.440
and he mentioned a number
00:08:03.380
of other cases
00:08:04.220
dealing with contraception,
00:08:05.500
dealing with sodomy,
00:08:06.540
and dealing with gay marriage.
00:08:07.980
And he suggested
00:08:08.840
that those opinions
00:08:09.700
should be revisited.
00:08:11.420
And what I articulated
00:08:12.760
at great length
00:08:13.840
in the full Cloakroom podcast
00:08:18.160
is that the Supreme Court
00:08:20.500
said repeatedly,
00:08:21.860
explicitly, unambiguously,
00:08:24.340
no, we are not revisiting
00:08:26.620
these precedents.
00:08:27.660
Nothing in this decision
00:08:28.620
calls them into question.
00:08:29.800
We're not going to do it.
00:08:31.040
At one point,
00:08:31.620
the majority opinion says,
00:08:32.800
we don't know how we can say
00:08:34.440
this any clearer.
00:08:35.820
No, no, no.
00:08:37.820
As you noted,
00:08:38.760
Justice Thomas,
00:08:39.540
yes, he raised the issue.
00:08:41.680
He was not joined
00:08:42.480
by a single justice.
00:08:43.600
So eight justices declined
00:08:45.160
to join that opinion.
00:08:46.760
I said that at great length.
00:08:50.320
All of the lefty Twitter activists,
00:08:53.840
all of the corrupt corporate media
00:08:55.720
ignored that entire discussion.
00:08:57.380
We actually put out
00:08:58.540
the entire six minute segment.
00:09:00.280
We put it out on social media
00:09:01.740
to say, look,
00:09:02.660
if you want to know
00:09:03.580
what the discussion was,
00:09:05.040
here's a radical and crazy idea.
00:09:06.820
Maybe you could actually listen
00:09:08.180
to what it was I said.
00:09:10.320
Almost no one in the media
00:09:13.280
could be bothered to do that.
00:09:14.420
And there's a reason
00:09:15.220
they seized upon this.
00:09:16.460
This is there's
00:09:17.780
a broader political point.
00:09:19.040
And we've talked about this
00:09:20.080
some on the podcast,
00:09:20.800
but it's worth underscoring.
00:09:23.680
Democrats know
00:09:25.380
that abortion
00:09:26.960
is a political loser for them.
00:09:29.160
So there are a handful
00:09:30.180
of left wing activists in D.C.
00:09:31.880
who are thinking, OK,
00:09:33.440
maybe the decision on Roe
00:09:34.800
is going to be the Hail Mary
00:09:35.780
that saves the midterms
00:09:37.320
from the disaster
00:09:38.260
it's going to be
00:09:38.800
for Democrats otherwise.
00:09:40.320
But real and serious Democrats
00:09:43.160
don't actually think that.
00:09:45.420
Elected Democrats
00:09:46.240
don't think that.
00:09:47.120
And how do we know that?
00:09:49.020
Because their immediate reaction
00:09:51.060
is not to focus on
00:09:52.500
the fact that
00:09:54.240
their policy preference
00:09:55.560
of unlimited abortion
00:09:56.480
on demand
00:09:56.940
in all circumstances
00:09:57.760
with no limits
00:09:58.580
is now no longer mandated
00:10:00.860
by by the federal courts
00:10:02.300
because that's a really
00:10:03.420
unpopular position in America.
00:10:05.520
But it's rather to suggest,
00:10:07.440
you know what this means?
00:10:08.840
They're going to take away
00:10:09.720
birth control.
00:10:10.400
They're going to take away
00:10:11.460
the right to consensual sodomy.
00:10:13.800
They're going to take away
00:10:14.880
gay marriage laws.
00:10:16.760
Now, those are all issues
00:10:17.820
that pull much better
00:10:19.220
than the Democrats'
00:10:21.160
radical view on abortion.
00:10:23.300
And when they immediately
00:10:24.620
shift to those issues,
00:10:26.360
they're giving you a tell.
00:10:28.400
They're telling you,
00:10:29.280
just like in poker,
00:10:30.140
when someone is bluffing
00:10:31.200
and they,
00:10:32.200
whether they twist the ring
00:10:33.400
or they sweat
00:10:34.080
or they fidget,
00:10:34.920
they, you know,
00:10:35.280
people have tells
00:10:36.300
that let you know
00:10:37.940
what they really think
00:10:38.860
and believe,
00:10:39.320
that's what the Democrats
00:10:40.060
are doing.
00:10:40.520
And the reason
00:10:42.380
they hyperventilated
00:10:43.600
in every media outlet,
00:10:45.240
I got to say CNN,
00:10:47.140
I sort of feel like
00:10:48.840
you and I deserve a credit
00:10:50.020
on CNN shows
00:10:50.980
because they filled
00:10:51.860
their shows this week
00:10:53.080
just with us.
00:10:54.440
That was all of their content.
00:10:55.960
Apparently,
00:10:56.200
there was nothing else
00:10:56.860
happening in the world
00:10:57.780
because it let them
00:10:59.740
tell the story
00:11:00.860
that Obergefell
00:11:04.180
is going to be reversed
00:11:05.380
even though the Supreme Court
00:11:06.440
said emphatically
00:11:07.220
it's not going to be reversed.
00:11:09.440
Right.
00:11:09.680
And then as you noted,
00:11:10.680
it predicated
00:11:11.460
the vote in the House
00:11:13.640
of Representatives
00:11:14.300
to say,
00:11:15.140
if Obergefell is reversed,
00:11:17.360
we're voting to enshrine
00:11:18.960
gay marriage in federal law
00:11:20.240
and to repeal
00:11:21.820
the Defense of Marriage Act
00:11:23.060
which had passed
00:11:23.860
overwhelmingly in Congress
00:11:25.460
and which that crazed
00:11:27.220
right-wing radical
00:11:28.340
Bill Clinton
00:11:28.960
signed into law.
00:11:29.780
So you get this vote
00:11:33.020
in the House.
00:11:34.380
I'm no expert here,
00:11:36.200
Senator.
00:11:36.640
You know,
00:11:36.840
I don't work at the Capitol
00:11:37.800
but I think that means
00:11:39.800
it's going to your place.
00:11:41.760
I think that means
00:11:42.340
it's going to the Senate
00:11:43.360
for a vote.
00:11:45.120
If you had asked me
00:11:46.100
three days ago,
00:11:46.980
I would have said
00:11:47.520
this doesn't stand a chance
00:11:49.240
of going anywhere.
00:11:50.320
The Senate Republicans
00:11:51.420
are going to stand firm.
00:11:52.480
This is an obvious issue
00:11:55.440
and yet after that vote
00:11:56.720
in the House,
00:11:57.180
I have to wonder,
00:11:58.480
is this thing actually
00:11:59.300
going to make it
00:11:59.740
out of the Senate?
00:12:01.240
Well,
00:12:01.800
it's not clear
00:12:03.320
if it's going to get
00:12:05.120
floor time
00:12:05.900
and we've got
00:12:06.820
just a couple of weeks
00:12:07.680
left before the August recess
00:12:09.120
when Democrats want
00:12:10.440
to get home and campaign.
00:12:11.540
They've got a bunch
00:12:12.080
of Democrats on the ballot
00:12:13.120
and there's a lot
00:12:15.600
of other bad things
00:12:16.580
Democrats are trying to do.
00:12:17.840
So they've got
00:12:18.200
a lot of legislation
00:12:18.980
they're trying to ram through
00:12:20.400
including their last gasp
00:12:23.860
at Build Back Broke
00:12:25.280
and so there's a limited
00:12:26.260
number of days
00:12:27.300
of floor time.
00:12:29.100
That being said,
00:12:30.460
Schumer said this week
00:12:31.540
he intends to take this up
00:12:32.780
for a vote
00:12:33.320
which will burn
00:12:34.600
several days
00:12:35.200
of floor time.
00:12:37.500
That was the speech
00:12:38.580
where he also described me
00:12:39.720
as unhinged
00:12:40.420
for cloakroom.
00:12:42.380
And
00:12:42.680
if it comes up
00:12:44.960
to move
00:12:46.400
to proceed
00:12:46.980
to the bill
00:12:47.460
will take 60 votes.
00:12:48.640
That's the standard rule
00:12:49.540
in the Senate.
00:12:50.920
It presumably
00:12:51.800
will get
00:12:52.280
all 50 Democrats.
00:12:53.200
So the question is
00:12:55.240
does it get
00:12:55.960
10 Republicans?
00:12:57.180
It got,
00:12:57.660
what was it,
00:12:58.000
45 Republicans
00:12:58.900
in the House?
00:12:59.940
47, I think.
00:13:01.540
47.
00:13:02.280
At least one of my colleagues
00:13:04.020
has told reporters
00:13:04.980
publicly intends to vote yes.
00:13:06.640
That's Tom Tellis
00:13:07.340
from North Carolina
00:13:08.160
who's told reporters
00:13:09.060
he's going to be a yes.
00:13:11.060
I could tell you
00:13:12.360
we had a discussion today
00:13:13.880
in the Senate
00:13:14.400
Republican Conference
00:13:15.420
at lunch
00:13:16.040
where there were
00:13:17.980
multiple Republicans
00:13:19.080
who
00:13:21.080
if they didn't say yes
00:13:23.580
they sure were
00:13:24.420
showing a lot of leg
00:13:25.640
to use
00:13:26.580
a euphemism.
00:13:28.920
I don't know.
00:13:30.400
This ought to be
00:13:31.380
this ought to be
00:13:33.200
a really easy vote.
00:13:35.040
Number one
00:13:36.100
because it's
00:13:37.160
pure
00:13:37.760
empty
00:13:38.360
political messaging.
00:13:39.620
Supreme Court said
00:13:40.220
they're not going to
00:13:40.720
overturn a Burgerfield.
00:13:41.580
So the entire reason
00:13:42.640
Democrats
00:13:43.440
are having this vote
00:13:44.860
is for political messaging
00:13:47.760
and really to distract
00:13:49.060
from every other aspect
00:13:51.100
of their agenda
00:13:51.840
that's a train wreck
00:13:52.740
which is
00:13:53.400
inflation and crime
00:13:54.820
and immigration
00:13:55.400
and everything else.
00:13:57.380
But secondly
00:13:58.360
look my views
00:13:59.160
on the substance
00:13:59.780
I believe marriage
00:14:00.620
is the union
00:14:01.100
of one man
00:14:01.740
and one woman
00:14:02.280
and that's what
00:14:03.560
I have always believed
00:14:05.120
it's what I believe now.
00:14:06.680
There are people
00:14:07.340
who disagree with me
00:14:08.480
and the people
00:14:10.340
who disagree with me
00:14:11.180
are entitled
00:14:11.660
to their views
00:14:12.380
and they're entitled
00:14:12.940
to participate
00:14:13.520
in the democratic process
00:14:14.620
and they're entitled
00:14:15.260
to prevail
00:14:16.340
in the democratic process
00:14:17.500
if their arguments
00:14:18.620
carry a majority vote.
00:14:20.100
It is interesting
00:14:20.980
I hope it's not the case
00:14:23.800
that a bunch of Republicans
00:14:25.780
who used to say that
00:14:27.580
quite emphatically
00:14:28.480
no longer believe that
00:14:31.680
but to be honest
00:14:32.920
I don't know Michael.
00:14:34.480
Of course
00:14:34.960
I mean this is
00:14:35.820
I'm with you
00:14:36.740
I hold the view of marriage
00:14:38.360
that has existed
00:14:39.200
forever
00:14:40.020
I sometimes say
00:14:40.900
I hold
00:14:41.260
I hold the view of marriage
00:14:42.580
that Obama
00:14:43.200
and Hillary
00:14:44.100
and Biden
00:14:45.040
and all the prominent Democrats
00:14:47.060
of today
00:14:47.940
held
00:14:48.480
until very very recently
00:14:50.000
and by the way
00:14:51.580
that the voters
00:14:52.200
of California
00:14:52.960
in 2008
00:14:53.900
bright blue
00:14:54.700
left-wing California
00:14:55.800
voted for in 2008
00:14:57.440
so
00:14:58.140
I don't know
00:14:59.620
that there has been
00:15:00.360
a public policy issue
00:15:01.720
on which views
00:15:02.860
have changed
00:15:03.500
more dramatically
00:15:04.420
than the issue
00:15:06.200
of gay marriage
00:15:06.940
and
00:15:07.300
it's
00:15:09.720
on the question
00:15:10.700
of life
00:15:11.460
views of the American voters
00:15:14.800
have been moving
00:15:15.480
in the direction
00:15:16.060
of life
00:15:16.580
but on the question
00:15:17.760
of marriage
00:15:18.260
they clearly are moving
00:15:19.300
in the other direction
00:15:20.100
and that's
00:15:20.640
that's indisputable
00:15:21.900
and it's really
00:15:23.380
quite
00:15:23.860
quite
00:15:24.760
a remarkable
00:15:26.660
journey
00:15:27.180
from where
00:15:28.000
even a decade
00:15:29.380
the debate was
00:15:30.200
of course
00:15:30.960
but I
00:15:31.440
I just think
00:15:32.240
even for people
00:15:33.180
who disagree
00:15:34.240
even for Republicans
00:15:35.680
who for whatever reason
00:15:37.020
have changed their views
00:15:37.820
over the last
00:15:38.520
five or seven years
00:15:39.800
this is such
00:15:41.940
a nakedly
00:15:43.060
obvious
00:15:44.180
political trap
00:15:45.880
being pointlessly
00:15:47.360
as
00:15:47.980
in terms of the
00:15:48.660
substance of the policy
00:15:49.560
being pointlessly
00:15:50.840
laid out
00:15:51.800
by the Democrats
00:15:52.640
the only reason
00:15:53.680
is to trap Republicans
00:15:54.760
why
00:15:55.720
on earth
00:15:56.560
would any of these
00:15:57.440
these Republican senators
00:15:58.740
take it
00:15:59.580
those 47 in the house
00:16:00.700
took it hook, line, and sinker
00:16:01.860
I hope
00:16:02.500
Senator
00:16:02.840
I hope your colleagues
00:16:03.880
are wiser
00:16:04.920
than that
00:16:05.620
you know
00:16:05.840
you know who I know
00:16:06.520
is wiser
00:16:07.120
the subscribers
00:16:09.040
to this podcast
00:16:09.920
so I do want to get
00:16:10.760
to some of their questions
00:16:11.780
enough of CNN
00:16:13.800
enough of Nancy Pelosi
00:16:14.880
first question up
00:16:16.100
from Jeff
00:16:17.040
this actually does have to do
00:16:18.220
with another piece of legislation
00:16:20.100
that's making its way
00:16:21.160
around the Capitol
00:16:21.740
Jeff says
00:16:22.960
I've been reading about
00:16:23.920
a proposed reform
00:16:25.140
to the Electoral Count Act
00:16:27.540
all I really know about it
00:16:29.880
is that it's being pushed
00:16:31.020
by Democrats
00:16:31.680
and RINOs
00:16:32.660
so I instinctively
00:16:33.960
don't like it
00:16:34.880
but I want to keep
00:16:36.220
an open mind
00:16:37.020
what is the act
00:16:38.780
and should we support it
00:16:40.120
so Jeff
00:16:42.040
a great question
00:16:43.000
and that's frankly
00:16:44.020
a good instinct
00:16:44.740
is if the people pushing it
00:16:46.120
are not reliable conservatives
00:16:48.060
that ought to give you
00:16:48.980
a really big hint
00:16:50.160
the direction it's going
00:16:51.140
what is the act
00:16:53.380
to be honest
00:16:53.840
I'm not sure
00:16:54.600
look
00:16:54.980
Democrats
00:16:56.880
and
00:16:58.040
a lot of wobbly Republicans
00:16:59.880
who are
00:17:01.300
really unhappy
00:17:02.280
about January 6th
00:17:03.660
and the fact
00:17:04.160
that I stood up
00:17:04.980
and objected
00:17:05.720
I objected
00:17:06.840
under the Electoral Count Act
00:17:08.180
an act that has been
00:17:09.040
on the laws
00:17:09.700
for 150 years
00:17:11.760
and I objected
00:17:14.300
on the grounds
00:17:15.840
that the electoral votes
00:17:17.300
were not
00:17:18.220
not made consistent
00:17:20.600
with law
00:17:21.040
that's what the statute
00:17:21.880
sets out
00:17:22.440
that you can
00:17:22.880
you can make an objection
00:17:23.780
on
00:17:24.140
and you'll recall
00:17:25.760
my
00:17:26.180
I based my objection
00:17:27.860
on calling
00:17:28.620
for the appointment
00:17:29.460
of an election commission
00:17:30.680
to consider
00:17:33.100
the evidence
00:17:33.800
of voter fraud
00:17:34.720
on the merits
00:17:36.040
on the substance
00:17:36.860
to an emergency
00:17:37.580
10-day audit
00:17:38.420
and determine
00:17:39.440
the extent
00:17:39.980
to which fraud
00:17:40.720
occurred
00:17:41.080
and the extent
00:17:41.600
to which it impacted
00:17:42.400
the outcome
00:17:42.920
of the election
00:17:43.520
that was modeled
00:17:44.360
after what Congress
00:17:45.940
did in 1876
00:17:47.180
the election
00:17:47.880
between Rutherford B. Hayes
00:17:49.100
and Samuel Tilden
00:17:50.000
in that election
00:17:51.280
as in 2020
00:17:52.180
there were serious
00:17:52.940
allegations of voter fraud
00:17:54.320
in 1876
00:17:55.840
Congress didn't
00:17:56.700
throw up its hands
00:17:57.380
and say
00:17:57.660
we're powerless
00:17:58.280
we can't do anything
00:17:59.000
about it
00:17:59.580
no
00:18:00.240
they appointed
00:18:00.980
an election commission
00:18:01.940
it consisted of
00:18:02.720
five senators
00:18:04.120
five house members
00:18:05.180
five Supreme Court justices
00:18:06.580
and they did exactly
00:18:07.440
what I
00:18:07.960
what I recommended
00:18:08.860
all the Democrats
00:18:10.760
and some of the Republicans
00:18:11.780
don't like that idea
00:18:12.860
and so this is a proposal
00:18:14.180
to change that
00:18:15.700
I don't know the details
00:18:16.840
of how they're going to change it
00:18:17.780
because they literally
00:18:18.380
have just announced it today
00:18:19.880
and so I haven't seen
00:18:20.900
what they've announced
00:18:21.640
I will say
00:18:22.960
as I was walking in
00:18:24.740
to film
00:18:25.320
this podcast
00:18:26.960
some left wing
00:18:29.000
not on Twitter
00:18:29.600
and I really do spend
00:18:30.460
too much time
00:18:31.120
reading what left wing
00:18:31.860
not say on Twitter
00:18:32.660
we all do
00:18:33.300
but oh actually
00:18:34.480
it was a lefty reporter
00:18:36.720
for the Washington Post
00:18:37.760
he tweeted out
00:18:38.740
so the only question
00:18:40.320
in this bill
00:18:41.160
is do you want
00:18:42.940
the decision
00:18:43.620
about presidential electors
00:18:45.700
made by the federal courts
00:18:47.140
or made by
00:18:48.840
Speaker of the House
00:18:49.780
Jim Jordan
00:18:50.480
and Senate Majority Leader
00:18:51.660
Ted Cruz
00:18:52.240
and I promptly
00:18:54.880
retweeted him
00:18:55.700
and I said
00:18:56.100
sounds good to me
00:18:56.940
so I'm sure
00:18:59.540
that's their nightmare scenario
00:19:01.080
I was okay with it
00:19:02.660
that sounds
00:19:03.600
just fine to me
00:19:05.480
next question
00:19:06.740
from Wanda
00:19:07.420
why are
00:19:08.700
January 6th
00:19:10.260
speaking of January 6th
00:19:11.480
why are January 6th
00:19:12.980
defendants
00:19:13.580
being held
00:19:14.060
in terrible conditions
00:19:15.140
on ridiculous charges
00:19:16.680
when Stephen Colbert's
00:19:18.300
staffers
00:19:18.980
get off the hook
00:19:20.140
for doing basically
00:19:21.300
the same thing
00:19:22.300
this referring to
00:19:23.340
Stephen Colbert's
00:19:24.280
staffers
00:19:24.760
who broke into
00:19:26.680
parts of the Capitol
00:19:27.400
that they weren't
00:19:27.940
supposed to be in
00:19:28.680
in order to embarrass
00:19:29.460
Republican politicians
00:19:30.480
because the Biden
00:19:32.140
Department of Justice
00:19:33.140
is fundamentally corrupt
00:19:34.480
and political
00:19:35.160
it is politicized
00:19:36.420
it is weaponized
00:19:37.480
as you know
00:19:38.460
I've got a book
00:19:39.020
coming out in September
00:19:39.980
the title of which is
00:19:41.280
Justice Corrupted
00:19:42.780
and how the left
00:19:43.480
has weaponized
00:19:44.460
our legal system
00:19:45.340
it goes into this
00:19:46.520
in great detail
00:19:47.300
sadly
00:19:48.040
Merrick Garland
00:19:49.280
Merrick Garland
00:19:49.840
was someone who spent
00:19:50.820
over two decades
00:19:51.560
on the Federal Court
00:19:52.460
of Appeals
00:19:53.100
he built a reputation
00:19:55.400
as a fairly
00:19:56.480
apolitical
00:19:57.640
reasonable judge
00:20:00.000
I don't know
00:20:01.600
that I've ever seen
00:20:02.560
anyone trash
00:20:03.620
their reputation
00:20:04.540
faster
00:20:05.440
than Merrick Garland
00:20:07.100
has done in the year
00:20:07.960
and a half
00:20:08.320
he's had as Attorney General
00:20:09.500
it's reminiscent
00:20:10.380
of what the NFL did
00:20:11.820
when they declared
00:20:12.960
war on their fans
00:20:14.060
and like just
00:20:14.780
lit themselves on fire
00:20:15.940
like the degree
00:20:17.260
to which Garland
00:20:18.440
is willing to allow
00:20:19.980
DOJ
00:20:20.720
to be
00:20:22.320
the
00:20:23.160
frontline soldiers
00:20:24.880
for the partisans
00:20:25.880
in the White House
00:20:26.740
is unprecedented
00:20:28.360
and it's dangerous
00:20:30.220
and I'll tell you
00:20:30.920
when it comes to people
00:20:32.040
who are wrongfully
00:20:33.120
imprisoned for January 6th
00:20:34.620
I have been pressing
00:20:35.400
on it repeatedly
00:20:36.340
I've been pressing
00:20:37.360
DOJ for answers
00:20:38.640
who is in prison
00:20:39.880
what are their charges
00:20:40.880
how many of them
00:20:41.460
are violent
00:20:41.960
if they committed
00:20:42.580
acts of violence
00:20:43.320
they should be prosecuted
00:20:44.420
and that's my view
00:20:45.440
regardless of whether
00:20:47.100
I agree or disagree
00:20:48.200
with their politics
00:20:49.020
if you commit
00:20:49.620
an act of violence
00:20:50.400
if you assault
00:20:51.040
a police officer
00:20:51.940
you ought to go to jail
00:20:53.160
but if they didn't
00:20:54.540
commit acts of violence
00:20:55.600
then peaceful protest
00:20:58.320
is fully protected
00:20:59.560
by the Constitution
00:21:00.460
and this Department
00:21:02.920
of Justice
00:21:03.500
is being used
00:21:04.920
as a political weapon
00:21:06.900
to persecute
00:21:07.920
those who exercise
00:21:08.920
their First Amendment
00:21:09.800
rights in peaceful protests
00:21:11.440
without committing
00:21:12.680
acts of violence
00:21:13.560
because the Biden
00:21:15.280
White House
00:21:15.740
disagrees with them
00:21:16.540
and it is shameful
00:21:17.520
it is disgraceful
00:21:19.040
and I'll tell you
00:21:19.640
every time I press
00:21:21.000
the Department of Justice
00:21:22.400
for answers
00:21:23.080
on the January 6th
00:21:24.240
protesters
00:21:24.800
comparing them
00:21:26.100
say to how DOJ
00:21:27.320
handled the violent
00:21:28.700
rioters in the Antifa
00:21:30.020
and Black Lives Matter
00:21:31.340
riots
00:21:31.860
this Department of Justice
00:21:33.720
essentially says
00:21:34.520
go jump in a lake
00:21:35.300
we won't tell you
00:21:36.180
it's none of your business
00:21:37.200
we're not going to answer it
00:21:38.300
and it is
00:21:39.040
and our corrupt
00:21:40.800
corporate media
00:21:41.640
has zero zero zero
00:21:43.480
interest in reporting
00:21:44.400
on any of this
00:21:45.140
of course
00:21:45.980
now assuming Republicans
00:21:47.660
do retake the House
00:21:48.880
maybe the Senate
00:21:49.880
in the midterms
00:21:51.200
will that give
00:21:52.880
conservatives
00:21:53.500
enough leverage
00:21:54.580
to make
00:21:55.920
some progress
00:21:56.780
on this issue
00:21:57.640
of the
00:21:58.120
two tracks of justice
00:21:59.560
whether we're talking
00:22:00.200
about the January 6th
00:22:01.060
people in Colbert
00:22:01.740
or even more broadly
00:22:03.020
than that
00:22:03.440
so I hope so
00:22:05.120
and I have some
00:22:06.200
some modest level
00:22:08.440
of optimism
00:22:09.060
I think the chances
00:22:10.340
of Republicans
00:22:11.000
taking the House
00:22:11.820
are overwhelming
00:22:12.620
they're well north
00:22:13.360
of 90%
00:22:14.000
and I think
00:22:15.500
a Republican House
00:22:16.700
the odds are very high
00:22:18.160
that we will have
00:22:18.740
oversight hearings
00:22:19.640
on many of these topics
00:22:20.820
I expect
00:22:21.600
House Republicans
00:22:23.640
particularly conservatives
00:22:24.680
to be aggressive
00:22:25.900
in oversight
00:22:26.840
of the Biden administration
00:22:28.260
the Senate
00:22:30.000
is less certain
00:22:30.960
I put the odds
00:22:31.780
about 65-35
00:22:32.940
that we take the Senate
00:22:34.060
if we take the Senate
00:22:35.040
I hope the Senate
00:22:36.380
engages in oversight
00:22:37.660
as well
00:22:38.240
you know
00:22:39.360
there's a difference
00:22:40.140
in style
00:22:40.920
and temperament
00:22:41.740
between House
00:22:42.700
oversight
00:22:43.460
and Senate
00:22:44.040
oversight
00:22:44.740
House oversight
00:22:46.320
is typically
00:22:46.960
more partisan
00:22:47.640
it's typically
00:22:48.220
more aggressive
00:22:48.960
it's
00:22:49.440
it's
00:22:49.940
they have
00:22:51.120
bigger flamethrowers
00:22:52.220
in the House
00:22:52.860
they
00:22:54.080
you know
00:22:55.300
they torch each other
00:22:56.420
many House members
00:22:57.400
D's and R's
00:22:58.120
hate each other
00:22:58.740
insult each other
00:22:59.740
the Senate
00:23:02.820
is a much more
00:23:03.680
genteel place
00:23:04.980
when I arrived
00:23:06.560
it scared the hell
00:23:07.520
out of them
00:23:08.160
you know
00:23:10.880
it reminded me
00:23:11.900
of one of my
00:23:12.420
favorite comedy riffs
00:23:13.880
Michael
00:23:14.640
have you ever seen
00:23:15.300
Robin Williams
00:23:15.980
do his riff on golf
00:23:17.180
I think I have
00:23:18.240
okay
00:23:18.680
it is one of the
00:23:20.200
funniest comedy riffs
00:23:21.220
ever done
00:23:21.900
I love it
00:23:22.840
language warning
00:23:24.060
it is profane
00:23:24.940
but it's Robin Williams
00:23:25.760
he's funny as all hell
00:23:27.300
and he's talking about golf
00:23:28.780
and how golf is made up
00:23:29.840
and I listen to it
00:23:30.860
regularly because it
00:23:31.480
just doubled me over
00:23:32.420
laughing
00:23:32.840
but at one point
00:23:34.600
he's talking about
00:23:36.600
Tiger Woods
00:23:37.260
and the reaction
00:23:37.940
of sort of
00:23:39.540
uptight
00:23:40.340
country clubbers
00:23:41.500
when Tiger Woods
00:23:42.220
started showing up
00:23:43.260
and dominating golf
00:23:44.620
and he does
00:23:46.400
a
00:23:46.780
you know
00:23:47.500
voice of
00:23:48.520
you know
00:23:48.800
oh my
00:23:49.880
now we're gonna
00:23:50.900
let him into our
00:23:51.660
clubs
00:23:52.220
and it was just
00:23:53.400
you know
00:23:53.660
you can picture
00:23:55.000
you know
00:23:56.260
almost invariably
00:23:57.640
rich liberals
00:23:58.500
sort of horrified
00:23:59.580
when Tiger Woods
00:24:00.300
showed up
00:24:00.920
I have to admit
00:24:03.820
that was a little bit
00:24:04.660
the reaction
00:24:05.220
when I showed up
00:24:05.940
at the Senate
00:24:06.380
some of the same
00:24:07.120
folks were like
00:24:08.020
you know
00:24:08.360
oh goodness
00:24:09.300
what is this
00:24:10.120
rabble rouser
00:24:11.580
doing here
00:24:12.260
this wacko bird
00:24:13.680
this
00:24:14.180
this maniac
00:24:15.160
so
00:24:16.540
so for those
00:24:17.400
of y'all
00:24:17.700
who may remember
00:24:18.280
wacko bird
00:24:19.020
was the term
00:24:19.640
John McCain
00:24:20.320
used for me
00:24:21.160
he
00:24:21.520
he
00:24:21.880
and I was
00:24:23.280
particularly
00:24:23.800
gratified
00:24:24.480
when some
00:24:25.000
grassroots
00:24:25.440
activists
00:24:25.920
made a
00:24:26.300
baseball cap
00:24:27.060
with a
00:24:28.600
picture of
00:24:29.260
Daffy Duck
00:24:29.800
on it
00:24:30.180
and the
00:24:30.400
word
00:24:30.560
wacko bird
00:24:31.200
I keep
00:24:31.900
it in my
00:24:32.220
office
00:24:32.540
and it
00:24:32.820
was sort
00:24:33.160
of
00:24:33.280
I
00:24:33.680
happily
00:24:34.560
embraced
00:24:35.220
the
00:24:35.520
title
00:24:36.380
right
00:24:37.220
the Senate
00:24:38.060
with a
00:24:38.760
Republican
00:24:39.160
majority
00:24:39.660
will engage
00:24:40.340
in oversight
00:24:40.900
it will
00:24:41.620
almost surely
00:24:42.500
be more
00:24:43.300
restrained
00:24:44.100
and genteel
00:24:44.900
than the
00:24:45.280
House
00:24:45.660
but the
00:24:47.360
Senate
00:24:47.600
also
00:24:48.020
carries
00:24:48.560
with it
00:24:49.040
typically
00:24:49.820
a greater
00:24:50.600
gravitas
00:24:51.180
a greater
00:24:51.940
a Senate
00:24:53.260
hearing
00:24:53.720
can have
00:24:54.840
a real
00:24:55.320
impact
00:24:55.840
and so
00:24:56.200
I hope
00:24:56.700
we see
00:24:57.360
vigorous
00:24:58.760
oversight
00:24:59.300
in both
00:25:00.060
the House
00:25:00.440
and Senate
00:25:00.900
and that
00:25:01.760
could help
00:25:02.500
I also
00:25:03.860
expect the
00:25:04.500
Biden
00:25:04.760
administration
00:25:05.260
to do
00:25:05.860
what the
00:25:06.180
Obama
00:25:06.520
administration
00:25:07.040
did
00:25:07.580
when we
00:25:07.860
had
00:25:08.040
Republican
00:25:08.480
majorities
00:25:09.120
which is
00:25:09.840
stiff arm
00:25:10.500
ignore
00:25:11.180
defy
00:25:12.540
it is
00:25:14.580
one of the
00:25:15.000
interesting
00:25:15.400
things
00:25:15.900
watching
00:25:16.400
the Dems
00:25:17.280
setting
00:25:18.540
all sorts
00:25:19.060
of precedents
00:25:19.680
including
00:25:20.000
trying to
00:25:20.440
prosecute
00:25:20.940
Steve
00:25:21.220
Bannon
00:25:21.560
for
00:25:22.500
defying
00:25:23.200
congressional
00:25:23.760
subpoenas
00:25:24.300
you know
00:25:25.340
in a few
00:25:25.700
months
00:25:26.040
the other
00:25:26.380
party is
00:25:26.760
going to
00:25:26.920
have the
00:25:27.160
power to
00:25:27.500
issue
00:25:27.700
subpoenas
00:25:28.120
and these
00:25:28.760
are some
00:25:29.020
interesting
00:25:29.340
precedents
00:25:29.900
they're
00:25:30.100
setting
00:25:30.400
and
00:25:30.660
I'm
00:25:32.900
almost
00:25:33.220
certain
00:25:34.080
the
00:25:35.080
Biden
00:25:35.400
DOJ
00:25:36.000
will
00:25:36.240
refuse
00:25:36.640
to
00:25:36.860
prosecute
00:25:37.380
anyone
00:25:37.640
for
00:25:37.860
contempt
00:25:38.200
of
00:25:38.380
Congress
00:25:38.700
for
00:25:38.900
defying
00:25:39.320
a
00:25:39.480
Republican
00:25:39.880
subpoena
00:25:40.420
because
00:25:41.120
this
00:25:41.480
Department
00:25:41.900
of
00:25:42.100
Justice
00:25:42.400
is
00:25:42.660
not
00:25:42.960
actually
00:25:43.560
focused
00:25:43.980
on
00:25:44.200
enforcing
00:25:44.660
the
00:25:44.840
law
00:25:45.200
they're
00:25:46.600
willing
00:25:46.940
to become
00:25:47.460
essentially
00:25:47.880
the
00:25:48.080
enforcement
00:25:48.500
arm
00:25:48.860
of the
00:25:49.100
DNC
00:25:49.740
but
00:25:51.040
real
00:25:52.020
oversight
00:25:52.480
I believe
00:25:52.940
is coming
00:25:53.320
but these
00:25:54.520
prosecutions
00:25:55.340
that the
00:25:56.000
orange
00:25:56.400
jumpsuit
00:25:57.020
that is
00:25:57.320
good for
00:25:57.680
the goose
00:25:58.200
is good
00:25:58.920
for the
00:25:59.360
gander
00:25:59.740
they make
00:26:00.220
those sorts
00:26:00.780
of things
00:26:01.160
in multiple
00:26:01.660
sizes
00:26:02.120
so I
00:26:02.740
agree
00:26:02.960
I think
00:26:03.180
the Democrats
00:26:03.600
should be
00:26:03.940
cautious
00:26:04.260
a question
00:26:05.160
from Aaron
00:26:05.960
is cookie
00:26:07.440
monster
00:26:07.840
racist
00:26:08.440
give me
00:26:13.000
the reasoning
00:26:13.460
on that
00:26:13.780
so I
00:26:14.100
picked
00:26:14.300
fights
00:26:14.680
with
00:26:14.860
lots
00:26:15.140
of
00:26:15.280
Muppets
00:26:15.660
I've
00:26:15.900
picked
00:26:16.080
fights
00:26:16.600
with
00:26:17.420
Big Bird
00:26:18.000
I've
00:26:18.260
picked
00:26:18.400
fights
00:26:18.740
with
00:26:18.940
Elmo
00:26:19.300
I've
00:26:19.640
picked
00:26:19.820
fights
00:26:20.140
with
00:26:20.360
Mickey
00:26:20.600
and
00:26:20.800
Pluto
00:26:21.020
are
00:26:21.220
not
00:26:21.420
Muppets
00:26:21.780
but
00:26:21.960
in
00:26:22.080
this
00:26:22.220
sort
00:26:22.420
of
00:26:22.600
vague
00:26:23.740
genre
00:26:24.300
but
00:26:24.660
the
00:26:25.160
cookie
00:26:25.440
monster
00:26:25.820
thing
00:26:26.260
he's
00:26:26.520

00:26:26.760

00:26:26.980
likes
00:26:27.180

00:26:27.560
I'm
00:26:27.840
not
00:26:28.240
sure
00:26:28.520
Michael
00:26:28.860
can you
00:26:29.140
help me
00:26:29.400
out
00:26:29.520
on this
00:26:29.880
I
00:26:30.220
can
00:26:30.840
I
00:26:31.280
know
00:26:31.600
so
00:26:32.040
you
00:26:33.040
have
00:26:33.540
been
00:26:33.820
the

00:26:34.360
for
00:26:34.760
I
00:26:35.080
don't
00:26:35.200
know
00:26:35.360
95%

00:26:41.000
monster
00:26:41.440
is
00:26:42.100
apparently
00:26:42.500
racist
00:26:43.220
at
00:26:48.740
like
00:26:49.420
ignored
00:26:50.240
some

African
00:26:50.840
American
00:26:51.160
children
00:26:51.620
is
00:26:51.860
that
00:26:52.160
was
00:26:52.540
that
00:26:52.720
cookie
00:26:52.960
monster
00:26:53.360
did
00:26:54.040
or
00:26:54.280
did
00:26:54.540
not
00:26:54.780
it's
00:26:54.960
not
00:26:55.100
even
00:26:55.280
really
00:26:55.560
clear
00:26:55.900
he's
00:26:56.140
wearing
00:26:56.420
this
00:26:56.640
big
00:26:56.900
suit
00:26:57.180
and
00:26:57.300
he's
00:26:57.440
high
00:26:57.620
fiving
00:26:57.920
people
00:26:58.200
as
00:26:58.380
he
00:26:58.500
walks
00:26:58.860
and
00:26:59.040
then
00:26:59.280
there
00:26:59.700
were
00:26:59.800
these
00:26:59.980
two
00:27:00.200
little
00:27:00.440
black
00:27:00.740
girls
00:27:01.100
and
00:27:01.540
they
00:27:01.660
wanted
00:27:01.860
a
00:27:02.020
high
00:27:02.220
five
00:27:02.560
and
00:27:02.720
he
00:27:02.840
didn't
00:27:03.140
high
00:27:03.340
five
00:27:03.600
them
00:27:03.840
and
00:27:03.980
then
00:27:04.100
he
00:27:04.240
kept
00:27:04.480
walking
00:27:04.920
and
00:27:05.640
the
00:27:06.020
interpretation
00:27:06.780
of this
00:27:07.380
when it
00:27:07.620
was posted
00:27:08.060
on
00:27:08.300
Instagram
00:27:08.760
was
00:27:09.600
that
00:27:09.980
it's
00:27:18.740
to jump
00:27:19.000
to that
00:27:19.280
conclusion
00:27:19.700
to me
00:27:20.060
seems
00:27:20.340
a little
00:27:20.720
premature
00:27:22.000
so
00:27:23.420
I
00:27:23.620
haven't
00:27:23.900
seen
00:27:24.080
the
00:27:24.200
video
00:27:24.480
so
00:27:24.700
I
00:27:24.860
can
00:27:25.020
provide
00:27:25.560
no
00:27:26.160
direct
00:27:27.000
knowledge
00:27:27.580
on it
00:27:27.880
I'm
00:27:28.060
sorry
00:27:28.280
I'm
00:27:28.540
behind
00:27:28.880
in my
00:27:29.460

00:27:30.160
monster
00:27:30.560

watching
00:27:31.920
the

00:27:33.140
but
00:27:34.080
I
00:27:34.220
will
00:27:34.400
say
00:27:34.660
this
00:27:34.960
I
00:27:35.200
believe
00:27:35.560
all
00:27:35.860
children
00:27:36.220
deserve
00:27:36.600
a

high
00:27:36.920
five
00:27:37.220
I'm
00:27:37.560
pro
00:27:37.960
child
00:27:38.680
and
00:27:40.480
and
00:27:40.500
you
00:27:42.540
know
00:27:42.780
if
00:27:43.060
these
00:27:44.500
young
00:27:44.860
children
00:27:45.200
didn't
00:27:45.500
get
00:27:45.740
high
00:27:46.000
fives
00:27:46.420
I
00:27:46.580
think
00:27:46.760
that
00:27:46.940
was
00:27:47.080
terrible
00:27:47.580
and
00:27:48.240
they
00:27:48.400
deserve
00:27:48.760
high
00:27:49.000
fives
00:27:49.400
I'm
00:27:49.960
against
00:27:50.280
it
00:27:50.540
I'm
00:27:51.260
against
00:27:51.820
those
00:27:52.320
people
00:27:53.080
not
00:27:53.440
getting
00:27:53.720
the
00:27:53.900
high
00:27:54.100
five
00:27:54.360
that
00:27:54.540
they
00:27:54.780
deserve
00:27:55.300
if
00:27:56.200
you
00:27:56.380
elect
00:27:56.660
me
00:27:56.880
high
00:27:57.120
fives
00:27:57.360
for
00:27:57.520
everybody
00:27:57.840
yep
00:27:58.160
and
00:27:58.540
by
00:27:58.800
the
00:27:58.940
way
00:27:59.260
since
00:27:59.620
since
00:27:59.940
Big
00:28:00.220
Bird
00:28:00.500
and
00:28:00.680
Elmo
00:28:02.120
have
00:28:02.420
come
00:28:02.660
out
00:28:02.860
as
00:28:03.020
Democrats
00:28:03.600
and
00:28:03.780
the
00:28:03.900
Democrats
00:28:04.420
for
00:28:05.180
200
00:28:06.120
years
00:28:06.600
have
00:28:06.780
been
00:28:06.920
racist
00:28:07.420
you
00:28:08.460
can
00:28:08.620
answer
00:28:08.880
your
00:28:09.040
own
00:28:09.220
question
00:28:09.620
you
00:28:09.840
know
00:28:10.140
if
00:28:12.100
A
00:28:12.360
then
00:28:12.580
B
00:28:12.860
if
00:28:13.080
B
00:28:13.280
then
00:28:13.480
C
00:28:13.800
you
00:28:14.020
can
00:28:14.160
connect
00:28:14.460
the
00:28:14.640
dots
00:28:14.900
That's
00:28:16.860
true
00:28:17.340
we're
00:28:18.360
getting
00:28:18.500
a little
00:28:18.760
math
00:28:19.100
and it
00:28:19.320
really
00:28:19.480
does
00:28:19.680
feel like
00:28:20.040
Sesame
00:28:20.300
Street
00:28:20.600
next
00:28:21.280
question
00:28:21.720
from
00:28:22.260
Caligula
00:28:23.700
I hope
00:28:24.640
not the
00:28:24.940
real one
00:28:25.360
if
00:28:26.000
Biden
00:28:26.460
is not
00:28:27.220
the
00:28:27.420
Democrat
00:28:27.820
nominee
00:28:28.240
in
00:28:28.600
2024
00:28:29.200
who
00:28:30.640
will
00:28:31.300
be
00:28:31.760
good
00:28:32.940
question
00:28:33.380
so I
00:28:34.400
believe
00:28:34.680
Biden
00:28:35.020
will not
00:28:35.420
be the
00:28:35.700
nominee
00:28:35.960
he's
00:28:36.240
not
00:28:36.440
going
00:28:36.560
to
00:28:36.660
run
00:28:36.860
he
00:28:37.760
is
00:28:37.980
too
00:28:38.180
old
00:28:38.540
he
00:28:38.720
is
00:28:38.960
beyond
00:28:39.420
capacity
00:28:40.080
he
00:28:40.880
is
00:28:41.120
severely
00:28:41.620
diminished
00:28:42.160
everyone
00:28:42.580
knows
00:28:42.960
this
00:28:43.140
all
00:28:43.360
the
00:28:43.500
Republicans
00:28:43.960
know
00:28:44.280
this
00:28:44.460
all
00:28:44.640
the
00:28:44.780
Democrats
00:28:45.240
know
00:28:45.500
this
00:28:45.740
but
00:28:46.440
Biden
00:28:47.200
is
00:28:47.400
pretending
00:28:47.740
he's
00:28:48.000
going
00:28:48.100
to
00:28:48.200
run
00:28:48.420
because
00:28:48.800
of
00:28:49.040
course
00:28:49.220
he
00:28:49.340
didn't
00:28:49.460
want
00:28:49.580
to
00:28:49.640
be
00:28:49.720
a
00:28:49.820
lame
00:28:49.960
duck
00:28:50.160
I
00:28:50.360
get
00:28:50.700
that
00:28:50.900
that's
00:28:51.180
actually
00:28:51.460
the
00:28:51.640
right
00:28:51.920
thing
00:28:52.200
for
00:28:52.400
Biden
00:28:52.680
to
00:28:52.800
do
00:28:52.940
any
00:28:53.120
president
00:28:53.520
in
00:28:53.680
his
00:28:53.800
position
00:28:54.180
would
00:28:54.400
pretend
00:28:54.700
he's
00:28:54.880
going
00:28:55.000
to
00:28:55.080
run
00:28:55.280
I
00:28:56.220
don't
00:28:56.340
think
00:28:56.560
anyone
00:28:56.960
believes
00:28:57.340
when
00:28:59.420
Biden
00:28:59.880
doesn't
00:29:00.340
run
00:29:00.640
and
00:29:00.820
he's
00:29:01.040
going
00:29:01.140
to
00:29:01.220
delay
00:29:01.560
announcing
00:29:02.020
that
00:29:02.280
as
00:29:02.420
long
00:29:02.600
as
00:29:02.760
possible
00:29:03.140
because
00:29:03.320
he
00:29:03.420
doesn't
00:29:03.600
want
00:29:03.740
to
00:29:03.800
be
00:29:03.880
a
00:29:03.980
lame
00:29:04.140
duck
00:29:04.400
I
00:29:05.560
think
00:29:05.800
we're
00:29:06.000
going
00:29:06.100
to
00:29:06.220
see
00:29:06.580
a
00:29:07.200
free
00:29:08.020
for
00:29:08.280
all
00:29:08.760
bloody
00:29:09.800
war
00:29:10.540
in
00:29:10.740
the
00:29:10.840
Democratic
00:29:11.220
Party
00:29:11.600
I
00:29:14.060
think
00:29:14.320
right
00:29:14.680
now
00:29:15.060
Kamala
00:29:15.540
Harris
00:29:15.880
and
00:29:16.120
Pete
00:29:16.320
Buttigieg
00:29:16.740
are
00:29:18.100
firing
00:29:18.940
bazookas
00:29:19.700
at
00:29:19.900
each
00:29:20.120
other
00:29:20.360
every
00:29:20.740
day
00:29:21.220
I
00:29:21.500
think
00:29:21.720
they
00:29:21.940
are
00:29:22.100
stabbing
00:29:22.800
knives
00:29:23.200
in
00:29:23.340
each
00:29:23.520
other's
00:29:23.860
back
00:29:24.140
I
00:29:24.340
think
00:29:24.460
they
00:29:24.620
are
00:29:29.720
Elizabeth
00:29:30.060
Warren
00:29:30.520
is
00:29:31.760
only
00:29:32.160
a
00:29:32.560
hair
00:29:32.840
behind
00:29:33.340
them
00:29:33.680
I
00:29:33.840
think
00:29:34.060
Elizabeth
00:29:34.540
will
00:29:34.840
run
00:29:35.080
as
00:29:35.280
well
00:29:35.580
she's
00:29:35.960
clearly
00:29:36.320
ambitious
00:29:36.760
as
00:29:37.060
all
00:29:37.240
get
00:29:37.500
out
00:29:37.800
she
00:29:38.840
thinks
00:29:39.200
she'll
00:29:39.580
ride
00:29:40.240
the
00:29:40.780
row
00:29:41.560
decision
00:29:42.080
all
00:29:42.560
the
00:29:42.700
way
00:29:42.860
to
00:29:42.960
the
00:29:43.080
Democratic
00:29:43.460
primary
00:29:43.900
nomination
00:29:44.440
and
00:29:45.800
then
00:29:46.020
Gavin
00:29:46.420
Newsom
00:29:46.840
is
00:29:46.980
making
00:29:47.240
a
00:29:47.420
play
00:29:47.620
from
00:29:47.840
California
00:29:48.420
he
00:29:48.720
no
00:29:49.900
longer
00:29:50.280
has
00:29:50.520
Michael
00:29:50.840
Knowles
00:29:51.180
to
00:29:51.380
torment
00:29:51.660
he
00:29:51.940
no
00:29:52.100
longer
00:29:52.360
has
00:29:52.560
the
00:29:52.680
Daily
00:29:52.900
Wire
00:29:53.160
to
00:29:53.380
torment
00:29:53.680
so
00:29:53.940
now
00:29:54.120
he
00:29:54.240
wants
00:29:54.440
to
00:29:54.600
torment
00:29:54.840
all
00:29:55.220
of
00:29:55.340
America
00:29:55.760
I
00:29:56.420
do
00:29:56.600
think
00:29:56.860
it's
00:29:57.080
funny
00:29:57.340
that
00:29:57.560
Gavin
00:29:57.900
has
00:29:58.140
gone
00:29:58.360
all
00:29:58.540
the
00:29:58.640
way
00:29:58.760
to
00:29:58.880
Florida
00:29:59.160
to
00:29:59.360
run
00:29:59.560
ads
00:29:59.820
just
00:30:00.060
so
00:30:00.240
Ben
00:30:00.480
Shapiro
00:30:00.800
can
00:30:00.980
see
00:30:01.180
them
00:30:01.440
because
00:30:02.040
he
00:30:02.320
wants
00:30:02.620
to
00:30:02.800
chase
00:30:03.240
him
00:30:03.600
from
00:30:04.140
the
00:30:04.300
Pacific
00:30:04.680
to
00:30:04.940
the
00:30:05.200
Atlantic
00:30:05.620
that's
00:30:06.860
obviously
00:30:07.560
a
00:30:07.840
presidential
00:30:08.280
play
00:30:08.820
by
00:30:09.120
Gavin
00:30:09.520
and
00:30:09.760
look
00:30:10.320
I
00:30:10.620
I'm
00:30:11.660
not
00:30:11.860
remotely
00:30:12.360
an
00:30:12.620
expert
00:30:13.000
on
00:30:13.800
Democratic
00:30:15.100
presidential
00:30:15.800
primaries
00:30:16.580
but
00:30:18.540
right now
00:30:19.100
I see
00:30:19.540
those
00:30:19.860
four
00:30:20.340
as
00:30:20.600
likely
00:30:20.900
the
00:30:21.100
top
00:30:21.340
tier
00:30:21.620
I
00:30:23.580
don't
00:30:24.060
think
00:30:24.540
look
00:30:25.380
you
00:30:25.520
will
00:30:25.620
get
00:30:25.760
other
00:30:25.940
people
00:30:26.220
Amy
00:30:26.440
Klobuchar
00:30:26.880
or
00:30:27.180
Ron
00:30:27.480
I
00:30:27.700
like
00:30:28.140
Amy
00:30:28.480
she's
00:30:28.940
she's
00:30:29.220
actually
00:30:29.640
sometimes
00:30:31.100
less
00:30:31.560
crazy
00:30:32.140
than
00:30:32.460
some
00:30:32.680
of
00:30:32.760
the
00:30:32.860
other
00:30:33.040
members
00:30:33.340
of
00:30:33.480
her
00:30:33.580
party
00:30:33.900
yeah
00:30:34.640
this
00:30:35.080
is
00:30:35.220
these
00:30:35.380
are
00:30:35.500
slight
00:30:35.800
gradations
00:30:36.480
which
00:30:39.960
means
00:30:40.300
to
00:30:40.500
me
00:30:40.700
the
00:30:40.920
Democratic
00:30:41.460
primary
00:30:41.900
base
00:30:42.220
won't
00:30:42.460
want
00:30:42.720
her
00:30:42.860
I
00:30:43.040
think
00:30:43.480
they
00:30:44.300
haven't
00:30:44.740
learned
00:30:45.040
their
00:30:45.240
lesson
00:30:45.600
yet
00:30:45.920
they're
00:30:46.240
still
00:30:46.540
in
00:30:46.760
crazy
00:30:47.100
town
00:30:47.500
they're
00:30:47.740
doubling
00:30:48.000
down
00:30:48.360
on
00:30:48.540
crazy
00:30:48.840
town
00:30:49.300
I
00:30:50.060
think
00:30:50.280
if
00:30:50.460
Bernie
00:30:50.740
were
00:30:50.980
five
00:30:51.300
years
00:30:51.540
younger
00:30:51.840
he
00:30:52.040
would
00:30:52.220
run
00:30:52.420
again
00:30:52.700
and
00:30:52.840
he
00:30:52.940
could
00:30:53.080
easily
00:30:53.580
win
00:30:53.860
the
00:30:54.000
nomination
00:30:54.540
Bernie
00:30:55.780
is
00:30:56.120
probably
00:30:56.900
just
00:30:57.380
old
00:30:57.740
enough
00:30:58.180
that
00:30:58.440
he
00:30:59.720
suggests
00:31:00.420
that
00:31:00.620
he's
00:31:00.800
going
00:31:00.960
to
00:31:01.080
run
00:31:01.380
I
00:31:01.600
think
00:31:01.980
that's
00:31:02.300
probably
00:31:02.720
a
00:31:02.920
head
00:31:03.080
fake
00:31:03.440
that
00:31:03.720
at
00:31:06.480
okay
00:31:06.940
my
00:31:07.160
time
00:31:07.440
has
00:31:07.580
passed
00:31:08.000
so
00:31:08.300
my
00:31:08.600
guess
00:31:08.920
is
00:31:09.120
those
00:31:09.340
four
00:31:09.680
are
00:31:09.780
the
00:31:09.880
top
00:31:10.080
tier
00:31:10.300
if
00:31:11.780
only
00:31:12.040
we
00:31:12.240
could
00:31:12.380
get
00:31:12.560
another
00:31:12.920
another
00:31:13.320
Bernie
00:31:13.600
run
00:31:13.880
if
00:31:14.020
only
00:31:14.240
for
00:31:14.420
the
00:31:14.560
memes
00:31:14.840
but
00:31:15.120
I
00:31:15.260
think
00:31:15.400
you're
00:31:15.520
probably
00:31:15.700
right
00:31:15.940
he's
00:31:16.160
probably
00:31:16.400
passed
00:31:16.740
his
00:31:16.880
prime
00:31:17.120
from
00:31:18.000
Anna
00:31:18.420
cultural
00:31:19.980
question
00:31:20.560
Brad Pitt
00:31:21.980
has set
00:31:22.640
a new
00:31:23.100
male
00:31:23.440
fashion
00:31:23.960
trend
00:31:24.440
by
00:31:25.020
wearing
00:31:25.420
a
00:31:25.660
skirt
00:31:25.920
to
00:31:26.320
the
00:31:26.500
red

was

clear
00:31:51.520
a mile
00:31:51.980
away
00:31:52.220
I
00:31:53.360
got
00:31:53.520
no
00:31:53.660
interest
00:31:54.000
in
00:31:54.140
wearing
00:31:54.320
a

00:31:54.780
the
00:31:56.320
only
00:31:56.680
possible
00:31:57.580
exception
00:31:58.200
might
00:31:59.360
be
00:31:59.560
if
00:31:59.740
I'm
00:31:59.920
in
00:32:00.060
Glasgow
00:32:00.520
at
00:32:01.960
a
00:32:02.120
party
00:32:02.440
and
00:32:02.740
they
00:32:02.880
convince
00:32:03.240
me
00:32:03.440
to
00:32:03.580
wear
00:32:03.740
a
00:32:03.900
kilt
00:32:04.160
although
00:32:04.420
real
00:32:04.760
Scotsman
00:32:05.260
wear
00:32:05.460
nothing
00:32:05.820
under
00:32:06.040
their
00:32:06.240
kilts
00:32:06.700
I'm
00:32:07.940
not
00:32:08.100
a
00:32:08.240
real
00:32:08.400
Scotsman
00:32:08.960
so
00:32:09.460
that
00:32:09.660
does
00:32:09.840
not
00:32:10.100
seem
00:32:10.480
at
00:32:10.740
all
00:32:10.960
tempting
00:32:11.300
to
00:32:11.520
me
00:32:11.700
it
00:32:11.860
actually
00:32:12.140
sounds
00:32:12.500
kind
00:32:12.720
of
00:32:12.820
cold
00:32:13.160
because
00:32:13.380
Scotland
00:32:13.720
is
00:32:13.940
really
00:32:14.160
kind
00:32:14.400
of
00:32:14.480
cold
00:32:14.760
a
00:32:14.940
lot
00:32:15.080
of
00:32:15.200
the
00:32:15.280
time
00:32:15.460
of
00:32:15.560
the
00:32:15.640
year
00:32:15.840
and
00:32:16.640
like
00:32:16.940
I'm
00:32:17.140
not
00:32:17.300
interested
00:32:17.660
in
00:32:17.840
a
00:32:17.940
breeze
00:32:18.340
like
00:32:18.600
that
00:32:18.840
sounds
00:32:20.060
thoroughly
00:32:20.480
unpleasant
00:32:21.000
I
00:32:21.640
will
00:32:22.140
tell
00:32:22.540
a
00:32:24.200
story
00:32:24.680
from
00:32:24.980
college
00:32:25.400
debating
00:32:25.760
days
00:32:26.200
so
00:32:27.860
I'm
00:32:28.880
terrified
00:32:29.260
to know
00:32:29.640
how this
00:32:29.940
is going
00:32:30.220
to connect
00:32:30.600
Senator
00:32:30.940
okay
00:32:31.940
so
00:32:32.220
it
00:32:32.400
involves
00:32:33.100
my
00:32:34.020
alma mater
00:32:34.540
and
00:32:35.780
your
00:32:35.940
alma mater
00:32:36.400
now
00:32:37.760
I'm
00:32:37.940
really
00:32:38.120
terrified
00:32:38.500
to know
00:32:38.800
how
00:32:38.920
this
00:32:39.080
connects
00:32:39.420
when
00:32:40.280
I
00:32:40.480
was
00:32:40.680
a
00:32:41.340

00:32:47.400
there
00:32:47.560

team
00:32:48.000

I was
00:32:51.460
a
00:32:51.560
freshman
00:32:51.820
so
00:32:52.000
I
00:32:52.120
was
00:32:52.220
watching
00:32:52.580

really
00:32:54.800
talented
00:32:55.200

00:32:55.660
and
00:32:55.940
a

00:32:56.560
from
00:32:56.780
Scotland
00:32:57.240
Glasgow
00:32:58.220

00:32:58.560

Austin
00:33:04.480
Lally
00:33:04.800
I
00:33:04.920
don't
00:33:05.000
know
00:33:05.080
what
00:33:05.180
he
00:33:05.280
may
00:33:05.740
be
00:33:05.880
in
00:33:06.040
politics
00:33:06.520
or
00:33:06.700
something
00:33:06.920
he
00:33:07.040
was
00:33:07.080
incredibly
00:33:07.500
talented
00:33:07.860
speaker
00:33:08.220
he
00:33:08.360
was

00:33:15.760
were
00:33:15.960
typically
00:33:16.320
humorous
00:33:16.980
because
00:33:17.400
the
00:33:17.640
two
00:33:17.840

so
00:33:21.920
everyone
00:33:22.360

the

were
00:33:24.760
all
00:33:24.960
pissed
00:33:25.220
off

00:33:25.840
you

kind
00:33:26.180
of

do
00:33:26.940
a
00:33:27.080
funny
00:33:27.280
round
00:33:27.660
to

case
00:33:35.000
they
00:33:35.200
proposed
00:33:35.840
is
00:33:37.200
America
00:33:37.980
is
00:33:39.220
better
00:33:39.520
than
00:33:39.720
England
00:33:40.040
they

a
00:33:53.940
full
00:33:54.100
kilt
00:33:54.300
so
00:33:54.460
this
00:33:54.600
is
00:33:54.700
how
00:33:54.840
it
00:33:54.960
connects
00:33:55.200
because

Sir
00:34:01.820
there
00:34:03.660

00:34:03.800
few
00:34:04.260
things
00:34:04.900
you
00:34:05.080
can
00:34:05.300
do
00:34:05.920
and
00:34:07.020
a
00:34:07.160
Scotsman
00:34:07.600
when he's
00:34:07.920
in
00:34:08.020
his
00:34:08.180
kilt
00:34:08.460
has
00:34:08.720
a
00:34:08.880
sock
00:34:09.200
that
00:34:09.340
goes
00:34:09.580
all
00:34:09.760
the
00:34:09.840
way
00:34:11.180
up
00:34:11.280
but
00:34:11.360
he
00:34:11.420
has
00:34:11.540
a
00:34:11.780
ceremonial
00:34:12.560
dagger
00:34:12.920
in
00:34:13.100
his
00:34:13.260
sock
00:34:13.800
so
00:34:14.840
he
00:34:15.000
pulls
00:34:15.580
out
00:34:15.840
the
00:34:16.020
dagger
00:34:16.360
and
00:34:16.620
goes
00:34:16.800
there
00:34:17.460
are
00:34:17.640
few
00:34:17.900
things
00:34:18.440
you
00:34:18.600
can
00:34:18.800
do
00:34:19.420
to
00:34:20.600
piss
00:34:21.280
off
00:34:22.080
a
00:34:22.420
Scots
00:34:22.860
more
00:34:23.520
than
00:34:24.820
to
00:34:25.060
confuse
00:34:25.840
him
00:34:26.220
with
00:34:27.240
an
00:34:27.420
Englishman
00:34:28.280
and
00:34:29.140
he
00:34:29.320
sticks
00:34:29.880
the
00:34:30.180
dagger
00:34:30.560
into
00:34:31.420
the
00:34:31.620
podium
00:34:31.920
and
00:34:32.120
it's
00:34:32.320
just
00:34:32.520
like
00:34:32.800
it's
00:34:33.100
stuck
00:34:33.540
into
00:34:33.820
the
00:34:34.000
podium
00:34:34.260
at
00:34:34.540
Yale
00:34:34.800
the

erupts
00:34:38.320
in
00:34:38.600
laughter
00:34:38.900
I
00:34:39.020
mean
00:34:39.120
it
00:34:39.320
just
00:34:39.780
brings
00:34:40.820
the
00:34:41.040
house
00:34:41.300
down

forward

00:34:59.080
he's
00:34:59.280
up
00:34:59.440
there
00:34:59.620
and
00:34:59.720
he's
00:34:59.860
about
00:35:00.100
to
00:35:00.260
close
00:35:00.520
he
00:35:00.660
goes
00:35:00.860
all
00:35:02.080
right
00:35:02.380
I
00:35:03.640
know
00:35:03.920
you've
00:35:04.180
been
00:35:04.300
waiting
00:35:04.620
for
00:35:04.940
it
00:35:05.120
so
00:35:06.540
I'll

it
00:35:07.080
to
00:35:07.240
you
00:35:07.440
I
00:35:08.820
can't

it
00:35:09.500
anymore
00:35:10.000
captain
00:35:10.520
I'm
00:35:10.800

00:35:15.140
with
00:35:15.360
that
00:35:15.700
again
00:35:16.180
the

00:35:17.580
lost
00:35:18.960
it
00:35:19.260
and
00:35:20.140
he
00:35:20.320
returned
00:35:20.820
to
00:35:21.100
his
00:35:21.320
seat
00:35:21.660
in
00:35:22.100
triumphant
00:35:22.940
victory
00:35:23.420
in
00:35:24.200
that
00:35:24.500
circumstance
00:35:25.120
wearing
00:35:25.720
a skirt
00:35:26.180
which
00:35:26.400
was
00:35:26.560
a
00:35:26.700
kilt
00:35:27.000
was
00:35:27.880
a
00:35:28.060
strong
00:35:28.500
and
00:35:28.720
manly
00:35:29.080
thing
00:35:29.360
to
00:35:29.520
do
00:35:30.000
yes
00:35:30.480
Hollywood
00:35:31.640
actors
00:35:32.120
or
00:35:32.300
singers
00:35:32.580
doing
00:35:32.980
it
00:35:33.340
let
00:35:34.980
me
00:35:35.100
just
00:35:35.320
be
00:35:35.520
mild
00:35:35.920
and
00:35:36.180
say
00:35:36.600
not
00:35:37.160
my
00:35:37.320
thing
00:35:37.560
not
00:35:38.360
not
00:35:38.620
so
00:35:38.820
much
00:35:39.080
I
00:35:39.300
agree
00:35:39.520
I
00:35:39.700
also
00:35:40.020
by
00:35:40.220
the
00:35:40.280
way
00:35:40.420
Senator
00:35:40.720
do
00:35:41.080
know
00:35:41.440
what
00:35:41.960
became
00:35:42.420
of
00:35:42.620
Mr.
00:35:43.040
Lally
00:35:43.360
he
00:35:43.920
actually
00:35:44.320
became
00:35:44.740
he
00:35:45.080
became
00:35:45.460
the
00:35:45.620
groundskeeper
00:35:46.180
on
00:35:46.380
the
00:35:46.520
Simpsons
00:35:47.300
which
00:35:47.620
is
00:35:47.880
unfortunate
00:35:49.280
you know
00:35:49.800
I
00:35:49.960
I
00:35:50.420
know
00:35:50.560
everyone
00:35:50.840
thought
00:35:51.080
maybe
00:35:51.360
he
00:35:51.600
could
00:35:51.820
become
00:35:52.280
a
00:35:52.400
big
00:35:52.520
political
00:35:52.840
figure
00:35:53.060
but
00:35:53.220
that
00:35:53.380
is
00:35:53.640
funny
00:35:54.140
that
00:35:54.720
is
00:35:54.960
funny
00:35:55.240
all
00:35:56.800
right
00:35:57.080
I
00:35:57.420
think
00:35:57.680
we
00:35:57.780
have
00:35:57.900
time
00:35:58.160
for
00:35:58.360
at least
00:35:58.720
at least
00:35:59.200
one
00:35:59.380
or two
00:35:59.680
more
00:35:59.820
I
00:35:59.860
promise
00:36:00.240
you
00:36:00.540
when
00:36:00.680
the
00:36:00.820
libel
00:36:01.100
suit
00:36:01.340
gets
00:36:01.580
filed
00:36:01.880
against
00:36:02.260
you
00:36:02.560
I
00:36:02.820
will
00:36:03.020
recommend
00:36:03.460
a
00:36:03.740
lawyer
00:36:04.000
who's
00:36:04.240
really
00:36:04.420
expensive
00:36:04.820
to
00:36:05.000
represent
00:36:05.280
you
00:36:05.620
thank
00:36:06.240
you
00:36:06.380
so
00:36:06.560
much
00:36:06.800
I
00:36:06.940
appreciate
00:36:07.320

00:36:07.680
I
00:36:07.860
know
00:36:08.140
you're
00:36:08.380
very
00:36:08.620
busy
00:36:08.940
but
00:36:09.220
if
00:36:09.380
you
00:36:09.880
could
00:36:10.020
get
00:36:10.160
me
00:36:10.280
a
00:36:10.400
pricey
00:36:10.720
lawyer
00:36:10.860
that'd
00:36:11.060
be
00:36:11.120
great
00:36:11.360
from
00:36:12.140
cautiously
00:36:12.680
optimistic
00:36:13.280
this
00:36:14.520
actually
00:36:14.920
relates
00:36:15.240
to

school
00:36:15.700

I'm

passionate
00:36:26.140
about

00:36:26.940
how

be
00:36:34.820
a

it's
00:36:35.580
the

single
00:36:36.140
most
00:36:36.420
important
00:36:36.760

learned
00:36:48.100
more
00:36:48.620
each
00:36:49.040
year
00:36:49.280
of my
00:36:49.600
clerkship
00:36:50.100
than

of

single
00:36:52.820
biggest
00:37:02.000
academic
00:37:02.900
things

you
00:37:04.660
don't
00:37:04.940
understand
00:37:05.460
that

judges
00:37:05.960
are
00:37:06.160
people
00:37:06.540
you
00:37:07.000
don't
00:37:07.240
understand
00:37:07.660
how
00:37:07.900
judges
00:37:08.320
actually
00:37:09.020
make
00:37:09.420
decisions
00:37:10.120
the
00:37:10.800
interaction
00:37:11.420
particularly

in an

00:37:12.740
between
00:37:13.080
multiple

00:37:13.980
the

back
00:37:14.440

you
00:37:17.400
an
00:37:17.580
inside
00:37:18.120
view
00:37:18.440
to
00:37:18.700
it
00:37:18.880
that
00:37:19.160
is
00:37:19.800
just
00:37:20.240
you
00:37:20.940
know
00:37:21.020
I
00:37:21.060
remember

Chief
00:37:21.440
Justice
00:37:21.800
Rehnquist
00:37:22.240
it was
00:37:22.500
amazing
00:37:22.820
so I
00:37:23.240
clerked
00:37:23.620
for
00:37:23.760
him
00:37:24.300
1996
00:37:25.060
to
00:37:25.580
97
00:37:26.080

25th
00:37:29.160

and
00:37:35.340
for
00:37:35.580
him
00:37:35.960
when
00:37:36.180
we'd
00:37:36.420
have
00:37:36.580
a
00:37:36.720
case
00:37:37.000
coming
00:37:37.320
up
00:37:38.140
and
00:37:39.960
it
00:37:41.980
was a
00:37:42.320
case
00:37:42.600
that
00:37:42.760
you'd
00:37:42.960
studied
00:37:43.220
in
00:37:43.400
law
00:37:43.600
school
00:37:43.820
and
00:37:43.980
you
00:37:44.080
thought
00:37:44.320
of
00:37:44.420
it
00:37:44.520
as
00:37:44.660
Smith
00:37:44.920
versus
00:37:45.240
Jones
00:37:45.660
you
00:37:45.960
know
00:37:46.080
it
00:37:46.200
was
00:37:46.320
sort
00:37:46.480
of
00:37:46.560
an
00:37:46.680
abstract
00:37:47.000
that
00:37:47.380
stands
00:37:47.720
for
00:37:47.880
this
00:37:48.060
proposition
00:37:48.520
of
00:37:48.800
law
00:37:49.060
what
00:37:49.960
was
00:37:50.120
amazing
00:37:50.520
about
00:37:50.740
the
00:37:50.940
chief
00:37:51.240
is
00:37:51.440
for
00:37:51.620
him
00:37:52.020
it
00:37:52.240
was
00:37:52.440
a
00:37:52.580
memory
00:37:53.080
and
00:37:54.260
it
00:37:54.400
was
00:37:54.560
a
00:37:54.760
memory
00:37:55.140
of
00:37:55.440
sitting
00:37:55.980
at
00:37:56.280
conference
00:37:56.860
with
00:37:57.160
the
00:37:57.280
other
00:38:01.440
would
00:38:01.560
be
00:38:01.660
like
00:38:01.860
oh
00:38:02.740
yes
00:38:03.380
that
00:38:04.540
was
00:38:04.840
the
00:38:05.100
case
00:38:05.580
when
00:38:05.920
Thurgood
00:38:06.720
wanted
00:38:07.780
to do
00:38:08.300
such
00:38:08.800
and
00:38:09.040
such
00:38:09.520
but
00:38:10.240
we
00:38:10.620
didn't
00:38:11.020
agree
00:38:11.560
with
00:38:11.960
that
00:38:12.520
and
00:38:13.640
it
00:38:13.840
just
00:38:14.100
it
00:38:14.300
gives
00:38:14.800
you
00:38:15.080
an
00:38:15.300
insight
00:38:16.020
into
00:38:17.160
how
00:38:17.700
courts
00:38:18.340
actually
00:38:19.020
reach
00:38:19.780
decisions
00:38:20.280
if
00:38:20.480
you
00:38:20.620
want
00:38:20.820
to
00:38:20.900
do
00:38:21.000
trial
00:38:21.400
work
00:38:21.800
clerking
00:38:22.500
at
00:38:22.620
the
00:38:22.740
district
00:38:23.020
court
00:38:23.340
is
00:38:23.500
incredibly
00:38:23.960
helpful
00:38:24.400
if
00:38:25.000
you
00:38:25.080
want
00:38:25.220
to
00:38:25.300
do
00:38:25.380
appellate
00:38:25.760
work
00:38:26.020
clerking
00:38:26.340
at
00:38:26.440
appellate
00:38:26.880
court
00:38:27.200
is
00:38:28.100
incredibly
00:38:28.580
helpful
00:38:29.020
but
00:38:29.260
I
00:38:29.440
enthusiastically
00:38:30.540
recommend
00:38:31.100
judicial
00:38:31.460
clerkships
00:38:32.040
wow
00:38:32.860
next
00:38:34.060
question
00:38:34.500
from
00:38:34.980
Godzilla
00:38:35.960
rules
00:38:36.460
do
00:38:37.300
you
00:38:37.540
think
00:38:37.880
the
00:38:38.100
antichrist
00:38:38.960
in the
00:38:39.380
bible
00:38:39.680
is alive
00:38:40.620
today
00:38:41.080
I
00:38:44.020
don't
00:38:44.280
know
00:38:44.700
um
00:38:46.460
you
00:38:48.540
know
00:38:48.640
the bible
00:38:49.080
says
00:38:49.440
Jesus
00:38:49.780
is
00:38:50.040
coming
00:38:50.380
but
00:38:50.640
no
00:38:50.880
man
00:38:51.140
knows
00:38:51.420
the
00:38:51.580
hour
00:38:51.840
and
00:38:53.660
look
00:38:54.600
I
00:38:54.780
grew
00:38:55.080
up
00:38:55.340
in
00:38:55.480
the
00:38:55.600
evangelical
00:38:56.020
world
00:38:56.580
southern
00:38:56.860
baptist
00:38:57.340
world
00:38:57.600
where
00:38:57.800
there
00:38:57.900
are
00:38:57.960
all
00:38:58.120
sorts
00:38:58.360
of
00:38:58.480
things
00:38:58.720
saying
00:38:59.180
the
00:38:59.380
antichrist
00:38:59.980
is
00:39:00.280
this
00:39:01.060
or that
00:39:01.440
or the
00:39:01.700
other
00:39:02.000
and
00:39:02.280
this
00:39:02.500
is
00:39:02.740
you
00:39:02.920
know
00:39:03.040
whether
00:39:03.220
the
00:39:03.380
antichrist
00:39:03.800
is
00:39:03.960
Barack
00:39:04.240
Obama
00:39:04.580
the
00:39:04.760
antichrist
00:39:05.120
is
00:39:05.260
Donald
00:39:05.480
Trump
00:39:05.740
whoever
00:39:06.680
it is
00:39:07.200
I've
00:39:07.440
heard
00:39:07.660
a thousand
00:39:08.240
people
00:39:08.640
of the
00:39:08.880
antichrist
00:39:09.380
I guess
00:39:10.620
I have
00:39:10.940
a degree
00:39:11.320
of humility
00:39:11.960
in that
00:39:12.880
if
00:39:14.180
if
00:39:14.200
I see
00:39:14.500
I see
00:39:14.520
someone
00:39:14.840
stand up
00:39:15.580
and
00:39:15.740
mandate
00:39:16.120
that
00:39:16.340
we
00:39:16.460
must
00:39:16.640
all
00:39:16.840
get
00:39:17.040
666
00:39:17.580
tattooed
00:39:18.240
on our
00:39:18.440
forehead
00:39:18.700
in the
00:39:18.880
back
00:39:19.060
of our
00:39:19.280
hand
00:39:19.540
I'll
00:39:19.720
be
00:39:19.820
like
00:39:20.000
okay
00:39:20.800
now
00:39:21.380
you're
00:39:21.620
telling me
00:39:22.080
somewhere
00:39:22.440
but
00:39:24.460
short
00:39:25.080
of that
00:39:25.760
I'm
00:39:26.440
going
00:39:26.620
to
00:39:26.760
express
00:39:27.400
look
00:39:28.500
the
00:39:30.020
world
00:39:30.360
could
00:39:30.620
end
00:39:30.860
tomorrow
00:39:31.360
it
00:39:31.720
could
00:39:31.860
end
00:39:32.200
a
00:39:32.360
thousand
00:39:32.660
years
00:39:33.100
from
00:39:33.360
now
00:39:33.660
it
00:39:33.840
could
00:39:33.960
end
00:39:34.180
10,000
00:39:34.780
years
00:39:35.100
from
00:39:35.300
now
00:39:35.560
and
00:39:35.880
if
00:39:37.720
you
00:39:37.860
look
00:39:38.060
at
00:39:38.220
biblical
00:39:38.540
prophecy
00:39:39.100
there
00:39:39.300
are all
00:39:39.540
sorts
00:39:39.800
of ways
00:39:40.180
to
00:39:40.380
interpret
00:39:40.800
it
00:39:41.040
that
00:39:41.200
I'll
00:39:41.440
just
00:39:41.680
say
00:39:41.980
I
00:39:42.600
ain't
00:39:42.860
smart
00:39:43.220
enough
00:39:43.540
to
00:39:43.740
say
00:39:43.900
I
00:39:44.040
know
00:39:44.180
the
00:39:44.340
answer
00:39:44.700
and
00:39:46.800
so
00:39:47.440
I
00:39:50.520
think
00:39:50.720
we
00:39:50.900
should
00:39:51.180
live
00:39:51.560
as if
00:39:52.000
we've
00:39:52.320
got
00:39:52.520
a
00:39:52.640
whole
00:39:52.820
lifetime
00:39:53.180
ahead
00:39:53.520
of
00:39:53.700
us
00:39:54.000
and
00:39:54.480
we're
00:39:54.760
going
00:39:54.860
to
00:39:54.960
have
00:39:55.140
the
00:39:55.280
biggest
00:39:55.520
impact
00:39:56.120
on
00:39:57.280
our
00:39:57.520
community
00:39:57.940
and
00:39:58.100
our
00:39:58.240
neighbors
00:39:58.540
and
00:39:58.700
our
00:39:58.860
world
00:39:59.260
and
00:39:59.780
if
00:40:00.580
the
00:40:01.280
Savior
00:40:01.520
chooses
00:40:01.880
to
00:40:02.160
come
00:40:02.360
earlier
00:40:02.820
we
00:40:04.860
will
00:40:05.060
welcome
00:40:05.420
and
00:40:05.660
celebrate
00:40:06.080
that
00:40:06.520
happy
00:40:07.040
moment
00:40:07.540
but
00:40:07.900
in
00:40:08.440
the
00:40:08.560
meantime
00:40:09.020
we
00:40:09.220
have
00:40:09.340
work
00:40:09.500
to
00:40:09.640
do
00:40:09.800
right
00:40:10.620
ready
00:40:11.280
to
00:40:11.520
die
00:40:11.720
tomorrow
00:40:12.180
but
00:40:12.420
planning
00:40:12.840
to
00:40:13.080
live
00:40:13.280
for
00:40:13.440
a
00:40:13.560
very
00:40:13.720
long
00:40:14.000
time
00:40:14.240
and
00:40:14.340
get
00:40:14.460
a lot
00:40:14.680
of
00:40:14.800
things
00:40:15.040
done
00:40:15.300
and
00:40:15.700
to
00:40:15.820
your
00:40:15.980
point
00:40:16.200
senator
00:40:16.500
I
00:40:16.700
think
00:40:16.860
anyone
00:40:17.460
who
00:40:17.680
tells
00:40:17.980
you
00:40:18.180
that
00:40:18.360
they
00:40:18.600
understand
00:40:19.580
with
00:40:19.800
crystal
00:40:20.240
clarity
00:40:20.780
the
00:40:21.360
book
00:40:21.600
of
00:40:21.720
the
00:40:21.860
apocalypse
00:40:22.380
revelation
00:40:23.260
or
00:40:23.540
that
00:40:23.760
is
00:40:23.920
how
00:40:24.040
you
00:40:24.180
know
00:40:24.440
with
00:40:24.700
certainty
00:40:25.180
that
00:40:25.880
person
00:40:26.200
is
00:40:26.340
completely
00:40:26.680
insane
00:40:27.100
they
00:40:27.380
certainly
00:40:27.900
don't
00:40:28.140
know
00:40:28.240
what
00:40:28.360
they're
00:40:28.460
talking
00:40:28.680
about
00:40:28.840
but
00:40:28.940
I
00:40:29.060
do
00:40:29.560
love
00:40:29.780
the
00:40:29.900
point
00:40:39.340
don't
00:40:39.500
think
00:40:39.780
we
00:40:39.960
are
00:40:40.200
I
00:40:40.340
wouldn't
00:40:40.860
bet
00:40:41.500
on
00:40:41.840
it
00:40:41.980
exactly
00:40:42.460
but
00:40:42.820
I
00:40:43.060
guess
00:40:43.200
somebody
00:40:43.420
is
00:40:43.540
going
00:40:43.700
to
00:40:43.900
so
00:40:44.960
I
00:40:45.120
will
00:40:45.360
say
00:40:45.780
so
00:40:46.160
growing
00:40:46.600
up
00:40:46.800
in
00:40:46.940
Houston
00:40:47.240
when I
00:40:47.480
was a
00:40:47.680
little
00:40:47.840
kid
00:40:48.340
for a
00:40:48.860
period
00:40:49.040
of time
00:40:49.380
we went
00:40:49.640
to
00:40:49.760
First
00:40:49.960
Baptist
00:40:50.260
Church
00:40:50.620
and
00:40:50.780
the
00:40:50.900
pastor
00:40:51.180
there
00:40:51.380
John
00:40:51.640
Bassania
00:40:52.060
did a
00:40:53.120
year-long
00:40:53.880
sermon
00:40:54.260
series
00:40:54.660
of the
00:40:54.900
book
00:40:55.040
of
00:40:55.140
Revelation
00:40:55.560
and
00:40:55.780
I
00:40:55.900
thought
00:40:58.120
it
00:40:59.740
was
00:40:59.880
fascinating
00:41:00.520
I
00:41:00.820
mean
00:41:00.900
it
00:41:01.000
really
00:41:01.500
was
00:41:01.800
interesting
00:41:02.260
and
00:41:02.640
today
00:41:03.480
Heidi
00:41:03.960
and I
00:41:04.240
were
00:41:04.380
members
00:41:04.660
at
00:41:04.800
First
00:41:04.980
Baptist
00:41:05.280
the
00:41:05.480
same
00:41:05.680
church
00:41:06.020
and
00:41:06.220
our
00:41:06.760
pastor
00:41:07.200
today
00:41:07.680
is
00:41:07.940
the
00:41:08.260
successor
00:41:08.700
to
00:41:08.900
John
00:41:09.080
Bassania
00:41:09.440
is a
00:41:10.580
wonderful
00:41:11.180
pastor
00:41:11.720
incredible
00:41:13.820
man of
00:41:14.280
God
00:41:14.520
very
00:41:14.960
scholarly
00:41:15.600
but
00:41:15.860
very
00:41:16.100
humble
00:41:16.440
very
00:41:16.740
down
00:41:17.060
to
00:41:17.200
earth
00:41:17.440
which
00:41:17.680
is
00:41:18.360
unusual
00:41:19.220
for
00:41:19.900
a
00:41:20.120
pastor
00:41:20.440
at
00:41:20.560
a
00:41:20.640
big
00:41:20.780
church
00:41:21.120
but
00:41:21.480
he
00:41:21.740
did
00:41:22.000
an
00:41:22.160
extended
00:41:22.680
sermon
00:41:23.160
series
00:41:23.600
on
00:41:23.760
the
00:41:23.860
book
00:41:24.000
of
00:41:24.120
Revelation
00:41:24.560
that
00:41:25.380
was
00:41:25.580
just
00:41:26.080
fascinating
00:41:26.900
and
00:41:27.820
having
00:41:28.260
as a
00:41:29.200
kid
00:41:29.460
listen
00:41:29.820
to
00:41:30.000
one
00:41:30.180
I
00:41:30.280
didn't
00:41:30.420
remember
00:41:30.640
what
00:41:31.080
the
00:41:33.040
pastor
00:41:33.380
said
00:41:33.720
40
00:41:34.140
years
00:41:34.420
ago
00:41:34.680
but
00:41:34.840
it
00:41:34.920
was
00:41:35.540
the
00:41:37.280
book
00:41:37.580
of
00:41:37.720
Revelation
00:41:38.280
is
00:41:39.320
challenging
00:41:41.080
it's
00:41:41.660
fascinating
00:41:42.380
and
00:41:43.800
there's
00:41:44.080
so
00:41:44.300
much
00:41:44.600
imagery
00:41:45.160
that
00:41:45.580
you
00:41:46.440
know
00:41:46.760
things
00:41:47.880
could
00:41:48.140
have
00:41:48.400
all
00:41:48.620
kinds
00:41:49.040
of
00:41:49.220
meanings
00:41:49.540
and
00:41:49.880
I
00:41:50.640
certainly
00:41:51.020
don't
00:41:51.340
purport
00:41:51.700
to
00:41:51.920
know
00:41:52.280
which
00:41:53.580
interpretation
00:41:54.160
is
00:41:54.660
right
00:41:55.040
as
00:41:55.400
to
00:41:55.880
what
00:41:57.940
all
00:41:58.200
is
00:41:58.360
going
00:41:58.520
to
00:41:58.660
happen
00:41:58.920
in
00:41:59.060
the
00:41:59.180
end
00:41:59.360
times
00:41:59.720
and
00:41:59.940
when
00:42:00.980
it's
00:42:01.180
going
00:42:01.280
to
00:42:01.360
start
00:42:01.600
before
00:42:02.240
we
00:42:02.460
go
00:42:02.660
one
00:42:02.960
last
00:42:03.260
question
00:42:03.680
this
00:42:03.840
is
00:42:03.960
from
00:42:04.300
our
00:42:05.100
very
00:42:05.340
own
00:42:05.560
cactus
00:42:05.980
masks
00:42:07.800
are
00:42:08.300
coming
00:42:08.520
back
00:42:08.740
to
00:42:08.860
our
00:42:09.000
school
00:42:09.300
we've
00:42:09.780
been
00:42:09.920
told
00:42:10.200
it's
00:42:10.500
because
00:42:10.700
COVID
00:42:11.040
is
00:42:11.280
getting
00:42:12.260
bad
00:42:12.560
again
00:42:12.860
but
00:42:13.380
to
00:42:13.560
me
00:42:13.820
it
00:42:14.060
seems
00:42:14.380
like
00:42:14.720
just
00:42:14.980
a
00:42:15.120
way
00:42:15.220
to
00:42:15.360
gin
00:42:15.560
up
00:42:15.700
anxiety
00:42:16.160
for
00:42:16.360
the
00:42:16.480
midterms
00:42:16.940
and
00:42:17.380
distract
00:42:17.660
from
00:42:17.880
Biden's
00:42:18.240
bad
00:42:18.440
policy
00:42:18.940
what
00:42:19.400
are
00:42:19.500
y'all's
00:42:19.840
thoughts
00:42:20.160
is
00:42:20.460
manipulating
00:42:21.000
COVID
00:42:21.360
fear
00:42:21.700
the
00:42:22.160
only
00:42:22.440
way
00:42:22.660
for
00:42:22.780
the
00:42:22.940
Dems
00:42:23.280
to
00:42:23.440
stave
00:42:23.780
off
00:42:24.100
the
00:42:24.920
red
00:42:25.160
wave
00:42:25.540
oh
00:42:27.120
look I
00:42:27.440
think
00:42:27.620
it's
00:42:33.680
but
00:42:34.440
the
00:42:35.660
issue
00:42:36.240
set
00:42:36.700
they
00:42:36.940
don't
00:42:37.320
want
00:42:37.540
the
00:42:37.700
election
00:42:38.060
to
00:42:38.260
be
00:42:38.380
about
00:42:38.800
is
00:42:40.020
inflation
00:42:40.500
gas
00:42:40.980
prices
00:42:41.420
crime
00:42:41.920
and
00:42:42.060
illegal
00:42:42.340
immigration
00:42:42.820
if
00:42:43.440
that's
00:42:43.780
what
00:42:43.920
the
00:42:44.060
election
00:42:44.380
is
00:42:44.620
about
00:42:45.060
Republicans
00:42:46.800
are
00:42:47.080
winning
00:42:47.380
50 to
00:42:47.880
70
00:42:48.160
seats
00:42:48.500
in the
00:42:48.740
House
00:42:49.060
we're
00:42:49.280
taking
00:42:49.560
the
00:42:49.760
Senate
00:42:49.940
with
00:42:50.120
a
00:42:50.220
big
00:42:50.360
majority
00:42:50.840
and
00:42:51.220
it
00:42:51.380
is
00:42:51.660
a
00:42:52.040
absolute
00:42:53.480
Democrat
00:42:53.960
bloodbatter
00:42:54.760
and so
00:42:55.100
they're
00:42:55.340
desperate
00:42:55.620
to change
00:42:56.080
the
00:42:56.220
topic
00:42:56.480
to
00:42:56.660
anything
00:42:57.080
COVID
00:42:57.880
has
00:42:58.100
been
00:42:58.240
a
00:42:58.360
good
00:42:58.520
reliable
00:42:59.000
one
00:42:59.500
so
00:42:59.700
we'll
00:42:59.900
see
00:43:00.300
if
00:43:00.580
they
00:43:00.840
have
00:43:01.040
any
00:43:01.240
hook
00:43:01.440
to
00:43:01.620
do
00:43:01.780
it
00:43:01.920
they'll
00:43:02.100
try
00:43:02.480
but
00:43:04.660
and I
00:43:06.900
think
00:43:07.060
masks
00:43:07.440
are part
00:43:07.840
of it
00:43:08.120
I also
00:43:08.700
think
00:43:09.040
most
00:43:09.400
Americans
00:43:09.860
are just
00:43:10.660
done
00:43:12.120
with
00:43:12.380
masks
00:43:12.860
I'm
00:43:13.580
like
00:43:13.900
I'm
00:43:14.220
certainly
00:43:14.540
there
00:43:14.900
but
00:43:15.200
although
00:43:17.140
I will
00:43:17.480
say
00:43:17.740
it was
00:43:18.020
thoroughly
00:43:18.320
amusing
00:43:18.800
so
00:43:19.300
last
00:43:19.760
week
00:43:21.480
several
00:43:22.960
Democrats
00:43:23.700
including
00:43:24.200
Chuck
00:43:24.500
Schumer
00:43:24.840
were out
00:43:25.660
because
00:43:25.920
they
00:43:26.200
tested
00:43:26.840
positive
00:43:27.260
for
00:43:27.460
COVID
00:43:27.680
I
00:43:29.880
don't
00:43:30.040
know
00:43:30.180
if
00:43:30.300
they were
00:43:30.500
symptomatic
00:43:30.960
or not
00:43:31.480
but
00:43:32.540
I
00:43:32.680
do
00:43:32.900
think
00:43:33.320
that
00:43:33.620
Democrats
00:43:34.540
are
00:43:34.920
testing
00:43:35.400
much
00:43:35.760
more
00:43:36.000
frequently
00:43:36.400
when
00:43:36.600
they're
00:43:36.740
asymptomatic
00:43:37.460
than
00:43:37.800
Republicans
00:43:38.360
are
00:43:38.800
and
00:43:39.740
I've
00:43:40.180
joked
00:43:40.420
I want
00:43:40.740
to
00:43:40.840
introduce
00:43:41.340
a
00:43:41.620
resolution
00:43:42.140
mandating
00:43:42.880
that
00:43:43.100
Democratic
00:43:43.560
senators
00:43:44.000
must
00:43:44.300
take
00:43:44.520
COVID
00:43:44.820
tests
00:43:45.240
every
00:43:45.660
day
00:43:46.160
because
00:43:47.500
I
00:43:47.740
for
00:43:47.880
one
00:43:48.060
don't
00:43:48.280
feel
00:43:48.440
safe
00:43:48.740
and
00:43:48.860
even
00:43:48.980
if
00:43:49.100
they
00:43:49.200
have
00:43:49.280
no
00:43:49.460
symptoms
00:43:49.740
whatsoever
00:43:50.200
if
00:43:50.460
they
00:43:50.600
test
00:43:50.860
positive
00:43:51.300
they're
00:43:52.120
out
00:43:52.340
and
00:43:52.440
they
00:43:52.560
can't
00:43:52.780
vote
00:43:52.960
on
00:43:53.080
the
00:43:53.180
Senate
00:43:53.380
floor
00:43:53.680
and
00:43:53.840
they
00:43:53.960
can't
00:43:54.220
pass
00:43:54.520
socialism
00:43:55.000
the
00:43:55.200
Green
00:43:55.400
New
00:43:55.560
Deal
00:43:55.820
and
00:43:55.980
build
00:43:56.140
back
00:43:56.360
broke
00:43:56.620
and
00:43:56.760
destroy
00:43:57.040
and
00:43:57.200
bankrupt
00:43:57.420
the
00:43:57.620
country
00:43:57.860
and
00:43:57.980
strip
00:43:58.140
our
00:43:58.300
constitutional
00:43:58.740
rights
00:43:59.140
and
00:43:59.620
destroy
00:43:59.900
the
00:44:00.060
republic
00:44:00.400
and
00:44:01.460
that
00:44:01.780
seems
00:44:02.060
only
00:44:02.300
responsible
00:44:02.840
I
00:44:03.680
think
00:44:04.300
in fact
00:44:04.780
twice
00:44:05.060
a day
00:44:05.300
would
00:44:05.400
be
00:44:05.500
even
00:44:05.660
better
00:44:05.920
and
00:44:06.760
an
00:44:07.580
ancillary
00:44:08.040
to
00:44:08.220
that
00:44:08.440
is
00:44:08.580
I
00:44:08.700
think
00:44:08.860
Democrats
00:44:09.300
should
00:44:09.600
be
00:44:09.740
required
00:44:10.180
to
00:44:10.400
wear
00:44:10.560
masks
00:44:11.020
forever
00:44:11.720
the
00:44:13.740
only
00:44:14.020
problem
00:44:14.420
is
00:44:14.620
their
00:44:14.760
masks
00:44:15.020
aren't
00:44:15.240
tight
00:44:15.480
enough
00:44:15.760
because
00:44:15.920
we
00:44:16.060
can
00:44:16.180
still
00:44:16.420
hear
00:44:16.560
them
00:44:16.720
talking
00:44:17.080
that's
00:44:17.780
right
00:44:17.880
you
00:44:18.000
make
00:44:18.220
a
00:44:18.340
great
00:44:18.560
point
00:44:18.800
maybe
00:44:18.980
double
00:44:19.260
mask
00:44:19.560
triple
00:44:19.820
mask
00:44:20.340
20
00:44:21.080
or
00:44:21.240
30
00:44:21.520

00:44:22.160
we
00:44:22.680

next
00:44:24.600
crazy

that
00:44:25.600
the
