00:00:17.360 as beautiful as the blossoms of Miami,

00:00:21.300 and as unique as the breakfast tacos here in San Antonio,

00:00:25.660 is your strength.

00:00:38.920 is sponsored by American Hartford Gold.

00:00:41.080 If you're like me,

00:00:42.160 then you are growing more and more concerned

00:00:44.060 about the state of our country and about your own future.

00:00:47.960 Inflation is at the highest rate that we've seen in 40 years,

00:00:51.420 and interest rates are skyrocketing.

00:00:53.080 In fact, market experts like Jamie Dimon,

00:00:56.020 who is the CEO of J.P. Morgan,

00:00:58.300 are not only predicting that we will face an economic recession,

00:01:01.580 they're using phrases like economic hurricane and unprecedented.

00:01:06.460 If you want to protect your future, then do what I did.

00:02:13.340 Welcome back to Verdict.

00:02:14.640 I'm Michael Knowles, joined as ever by my favorite taco,

00:02:18.660 Senator Ted Cruz.

00:02:19.960 Senator, how spicy are you feeling today?

00:02:23.840 I feel like a good chorizo and egg and cheese taco.

00:02:29.740 And Michael, I got to say,

00:02:32.260 there are times when life imitates satire.

00:02:37.120 If Saturday Night Live was trying to mock

00:02:40.320 an out-of-touch Democrat

00:02:42.620 going in front of an Hispanic audience

00:02:46.320 and saying, 0.82

00:02:47.080 you guys are a bunch of tacos.

00:02:50.140 Like, I'm sorry,

00:02:52.580 Tina Fey could have delivered that line. 1.00

00:02:55.200 Your tacos and the

00:02:57.160 Bogotas. 1.00

00:03:00.260 Isn't Bogota the capital of Colombia?

00:03:02.900 Like, apparently,

00:03:04.400 Jill's never been to a bodega.

00:03:05.920 I mean, it's that is just weird.

00:03:10.260 And it's it typifies the out-of-touch Democrat condescension

00:03:18.180 to Latinxs.

00:03:20.300 By the way,

00:03:21.440 that conference was the Latinx explosion. 0.94

00:03:24.200 And I got to tell you right now,

00:03:26.220 anyone who puts an X

00:03:27.760 in the word Latino

00:03:29.320 or Latina

00:03:30.440 ain't actually one of them.

00:03:33.080 It is only

00:03:34.060 a woke

00:03:35.860 white leftist

00:03:37.380 are the only people

00:03:38.200 that stick X's in it.

00:03:40.260 And

00:03:40.860 that's apparently why

00:03:42.380 the Bidens think we're tacos.

00:03:44.160 I can't wait for Jill Biden

00:03:45.640 to pander to my community,

00:03:47.580 the Italian-American community,

00:03:48.920 and say, you know,

00:03:50.140 you,

00:03:50.500 you Italian-Americans, 0.99

00:03:51.640 you're greasier 0.99

00:03:53.000 than a bowl of scungili.

00:03:54.800 You are slipperier

00:03:56.100 than a nice focaccia bread.

00:03:57.520 I don't think it would do a lot

00:03:58.720 to win over the Italian vote.

00:04:00.460 And I do know Democrats

00:04:01.900 have been struggling

00:04:02.580 with the Hispanic vote.

00:04:04.100 Every cycle,

00:04:05.100 the Republicans say,

00:04:05.840 we're about to make huge

00:04:06.960 inroads with the black community 0.61

00:04:08.600 or the Hispanic community.

00:04:09.980 But if you look at the numbers right now,

00:04:11.360 it would appear that

00:04:12.320 massive chunks

00:04:13.340 of the Hispanic

00:04:14.200 voting bloc

00:04:15.480 are moving rightward

00:04:17.000 right now.

00:04:17.520 So do you think

00:04:18.280 that the taco pandering

00:04:19.260 is going to win them back?

00:04:20.820 So look, Michael,

00:04:21.580 in all seriousness,

00:04:23.300 you, Michael Knowles, 0.98

00:04:24.720 are a spicy meatball. 0.63

00:04:26.080 Thank you.

00:04:26.640 Thank you, sir.

00:04:27.020 I may be a taco, 0.91

00:04:28.080 but you are a meatball

00:04:30.660 with an extra zest.

00:04:32.460 I've said it for years.

00:04:34.320 And look,

00:04:35.240 since I'm Irish

00:04:37.000 and Italian, too,

00:04:37.980 maybe I got a little meatball

00:04:39.120 in my taco,

00:04:39.900 and I don't know,

00:04:40.380 Irish with a pint of Guinness?

00:04:41.620 I don't know.

00:04:41.940 I don't even know.

00:04:42.840 It's, it's,

00:04:43.740 that's not too bad.

00:04:45.220 I've never had Guinness

00:04:45.780 for breakfast,

00:04:46.380 but breakfast taco,

00:04:47.700 and there we go.

00:04:48.780 We're set.

00:04:49.140 It's actually amazing

00:04:52.680 what is happening

00:04:53.580 with Hispanic voters.

00:04:55.080 By the way,

00:04:55.400 there's an interesting,

00:04:57.260 there was polling

00:04:58.840 some time ago

00:04:59.700 that I saw,

00:05:00.300 I haven't seen it recently,

00:05:01.500 but five,

00:05:02.600 ten years ago,

00:05:03.340 the polling was

00:05:04.460 that

00:05:05.840 people who self-reference

00:05:08.540 as Hispanic

00:05:09.680 tend to be more conservative.

00:05:12.420 People who self-reference

00:05:13.820 as Latino

00:05:14.580 tend to be

00:05:16.440 further left

00:05:17.920 and people who self-reference

00:05:20.120 as Chicano

00:05:20.920 tend to be the furthest left.

00:05:22.640 And it's just kind of

00:05:23.360 an interesting

00:05:23.920 language piece.

00:05:25.780 I don't know

00:05:26.180 if that still holds

00:05:27.240 because that polling data

00:05:28.180 is a little bit out of date.

00:05:29.740 I think the people

00:05:30.420 who self-identify

00:05:31.440 as Latinx,

00:05:32.560 they actually tend

00:05:33.980 to skew white.

00:05:34.920 I think they're entirely white 1.00

00:05:36.100 and not,

00:05:37.020 yes,

00:05:37.440 and woke

00:05:39.740 and confused.

00:05:41.740 It's the opposite

00:05:42.420 of dazed and confused.

00:05:44.020 It's

00:05:44.580 very woke.

00:05:46.720 You know,

00:05:47.560 it's an amazing thing.

00:05:49.280 The Democrats' numbers

00:05:50.800 among Hispanics

00:05:51.900 are plummeting.

00:05:53.620 And we saw that

00:05:55.180 with Mayra Flores

00:05:56.520 who was elected

00:05:57.360 in Texas

00:05:58.100 special election

00:05:58.840 just a couple of weeks ago.

00:06:00.580 The district runs

00:06:01.960 from just south

00:06:02.780 of San Antonio

00:06:03.620 all the way down

00:06:05.880 to Brownsville

00:06:06.660 to the southern tip

00:06:07.420 of Texas

00:06:07.900 and literally

00:06:08.400 right on the border

00:06:09.220 with Mexico.

00:06:10.960 That is a district

00:06:12.100 that hasn't had

00:06:13.220 a Republican represented

00:06:14.440 since 1871.

00:06:19.340 That's a long time.

00:06:23.200 And I've been predicting

00:06:24.500 for a long time

00:06:25.380 I think all of south Texas

00:06:26.500 is going to turn red.

00:06:27.760 By the way,

00:06:28.540 Mayra Flores' district

00:06:29.640 is the second most

00:06:31.580 Hispanic congressional district

00:06:33.200 in the entire

00:06:33.900 United States of America.

00:06:34.960 It's something like

00:06:37.640 84% Hispanic.

00:06:39.140 I'm not remembering

00:06:39.600 the exact number

00:06:40.300 but it's in the neighborhood

00:06:41.100 of 84%.

00:06:42.180 Is that a fluke

00:06:43.240 or is that a bellwether

00:06:44.180 for the midterms?

00:06:45.820 I think it is very much

00:06:47.020 a bellwether.

00:06:48.620 There are two other

00:06:49.820 congressional seats

00:06:50.660 in south Texas

00:06:51.540 that are represented

00:06:52.580 by Democrats right now.

00:06:54.360 I think there is

00:06:55.420 a very good chance

00:06:56.780 that at least

00:06:57.400 two out of those three

00:06:58.640 will be represented

00:06:59.500 by Republicans

00:07:00.400 come January

00:07:02.240 and it might be

00:07:03.200 all three out of those three

00:07:04.960 and interestingly enough

00:07:06.400 those Republicans

00:07:07.200 the candidates

00:07:07.920 all three are Hispanic women.

00:07:10.180 I've endorsed all of them.

00:07:11.520 I'm campaigning

00:07:12.080 for all of them

00:07:12.980 and throughout

00:07:14.960 the Rio Grande Valley

00:07:16.060 in south Texas

00:07:16.760 it has voted Democrat

00:07:17.980 for over 100 years.

00:07:20.080 That's how long it's been

00:07:21.500 and there's all sorts

00:07:24.020 of things that are causing that.

00:07:25.500 I mean it's the

00:07:26.340 you know

00:07:28.180 the

00:07:29.140 out of touch wokeness

00:07:31.900 of calling people Latinx

00:07:33.360 and by the way

00:07:34.140 who sends the first lady 1.00

00:07:35.800 to a conference

00:07:36.840 called the Latinx conference

00:07:38.960 and that taco thing

00:07:40.680 here's the amazing thing

00:07:41.920 that wasn't an ad lit

00:07:43.480 this wasn't a Joe Biden

00:07:44.760 like screw up

00:07:45.560 because they just let him

00:07:46.640 like meander off

00:07:48.140 and talk

00:07:48.600 she was reading

00:07:49.980 from a teleprompter.

00:07:51.400 Yeah.

00:07:51.720 A White House staffer

00:07:53.240 wrote those lines

00:07:54.600 and thought

00:07:56.460 isn't this great

00:07:57.300 if we call them all tacos

00:07:58.400 they'll clearly vote for us

00:07:59.520 if we do that.

00:08:00.340 That's a really important point

00:08:01.400 because you've seen

00:08:02.860 a ton of gaffes this week

00:08:04.440 from Joe Biden

00:08:05.520 Biden at one point

00:08:06.860 the White House

00:08:07.240 tried to cover this up

00:08:08.040 but he actually read

00:08:09.240 on the teleprompter

00:08:10.180 repeat the line

00:08:11.440 repeat the line now

00:08:12.760 but he didn't repeat the line

00:08:13.680 he just read repeat the line

00:08:14.700 you've seen all sorts of gaffes

00:08:16.420 suggesting that he kind of forgot

00:08:18.520 that he was the president

00:08:19.380 at one point

00:08:20.220 and so we've come to expect

00:08:21.420 that from Biden

00:08:22.120 but what you're pointing out here is

00:08:23.420 no this is the alleged adults

00:08:25.500 in the room

00:08:26.020 the people who are supposed

00:08:26.900 to be the geniuses

00:08:27.880 who have their finger

00:08:28.620 on the pulse of the base

00:08:29.620 and the electorate

00:08:30.260 they're the ones

00:08:31.340 who put the taco line

00:08:32.580 into the speech.

00:08:34.200 Look the Democrats

00:08:35.640 look down

00:08:37.100 on the American people

00:08:38.900 as a whole

00:08:39.380 look down on voters

00:08:40.220 as a whole

00:08:40.700 but they especially

00:08:41.320 look down on minorities.

00:08:43.280 Remember Joe Biden

00:08:44.240 is the one who went

00:08:45.220 I think it was

00:08:45.820 at the NAACP

00:08:47.420 when he was vice president

00:08:49.960 and said about Republicans

00:08:51.160 they're going to put you

00:08:52.220 back in chains.

00:08:56.140 The Democrats

00:08:57.100 look at Hispanics 1.00

00:08:58.320 and they think

00:08:59.120 we are a bunch 1.00

00:09:00.160 of ignorant 1.00

00:09:01.860 I don't even know 1.00

00:09:06.520 how to describe

00:09:07.160 what they think about us

00:09:08.100 but they think

00:09:08.600 we just

00:09:08.980 we have to vote Democrat

00:09:12.300 and there's no sense

00:09:16.300 of wanting to earn the votes.

00:09:17.520 I'll tell you

00:09:18.160 if you are

00:09:19.140 an Hispanic guy

00:09:20.900 in South Texas

00:09:21.760 and you work

00:09:22.940 at the oil field

00:09:23.740 and you drive

00:09:25.260 a pickup truck

00:09:26.060 and you go bird hunting

00:09:27.720 on the weekends

00:09:28.560 Joe Biden

00:09:30.140 and Kamala Harris

00:09:31.000 and the Democrats

00:09:31.840 want to destroy

00:09:33.960 your livelihood

00:09:34.760 want to endanger

00:09:37.520 your family

00:09:38.340 by open borders

00:09:39.480 and chaos

00:09:40.140 and you know what

00:09:41.760 you're voting Republican

00:09:42.900 and that is happening

00:09:45.060 at amazing numbers

00:09:46.080 and I can't wait

00:09:47.260 to see

00:09:48.980 three Hispanic

00:09:50.720 women Republicans

00:09:52.060 from the Rio Grande Valley

00:09:54.040 standing up

00:09:55.980 to Nancy Pelosi

00:09:57.160 and AOC

00:09:57.920 and all these liberals

00:09:59.680 who insist

00:10:01.080 hey illegal immigration

00:10:02.000 is just hunky dory

00:10:03.160 it's just fine

00:10:04.180 the people who are living it

00:10:06.060 know it's not

00:10:06.700 and I think

00:10:07.840 the fact that

00:10:09.820 this White House

00:10:11.020 wrote this

00:10:12.140 into a speech

00:10:12.920 A. sent the First Lady 0.99

00:10:14.220 to this ridiculous conference 0.97

00:10:15.440 and B. wrote 0.98

00:10:18.040 these condescending lines

00:10:19.220 into the speech

00:10:19.860 I think it's indicative

00:10:20.960 of just how badly

00:10:23.960 Biden and the Democrats

00:10:25.240 are doing with Hispanics 1.00

00:10:26.420 nationally

00:10:27.100 and I think we're going to see

00:10:27.980 a real sea change

00:10:28.780 in this election

00:10:29.400 well it seems to me

00:10:30.780 the greater fear

00:10:32.440 for the White House

00:10:33.100 right now

00:10:33.500 is not just that

00:10:34.180 they're losing Hispanics

00:10:35.240 it seems that

00:10:36.340 they're losing

00:10:36.860 all of the Democrats

00:10:37.980 there are these poll numbers

00:10:39.640 coming out

00:10:40.160 that the majority

00:10:40.920 of Democrats

00:10:41.460 don't want Biden

00:10:42.400 to be the nominee

00:10:43.020 in 2024

00:10:43.700 and even worse

00:10:45.620 than losing

00:10:46.080 the Democrat voters

00:10:47.060 it seems to me

00:10:48.520 that the White House

00:10:49.340 is losing

00:10:50.020 the Democrat establishment

00:10:52.040 the Democrat media

00:10:53.380 the Democrat press

00:10:54.660 you're seeing

00:10:55.740 lots of negative stories

00:10:57.080 coming out about Biden

00:10:58.060 in the New York Times

00:10:59.000 in the Washington Post

00:11:00.360 in all of the corporate press

00:11:02.040 kind of stoking

00:11:03.400 the flames

00:11:04.340 of this Democrat uprising

00:11:05.960 against Biden

00:11:06.840 is this a sign

00:11:08.800 that the machine

00:11:10.500 the party

00:11:11.640 and the powers that be

00:11:12.840 have had it with Biden

00:11:14.160 and they want

00:11:14.560 a different option

00:11:15.560 in 2024

00:11:16.100 yes

00:11:17.740 and it's also

00:11:19.440 listen I think

00:11:20.220 the chances

00:11:20.700 that Biden runs

00:11:21.580 in 2024

00:11:22.120 are minuscule

00:11:22.980 he ain't running

00:11:23.880 he's not up

00:11:25.260 to the job now

00:11:26.100 he says he's running

00:11:28.020 but you know

00:11:28.680 to be honest

00:11:29.160 any president

00:11:29.760 says he's running

00:11:30.480 you say that 0.72

00:11:31.600 so you're not a lame duck 0.92

00:11:32.700 so I understand

00:11:33.360 why he says he's running

00:11:34.340 I don't believe

00:11:35.400 for a second

00:11:35.980 that he's running

00:11:36.580 he's clearly not

00:11:38.000 up to the task today

00:11:39.400 I mean this is a man

00:11:40.840 who shakes hands

00:11:41.780 with the empty air

00:11:42.760 this is a man

00:11:43.460 who they send staffers

00:11:44.500 dressed as the Easter bunny

00:11:45.980 to prevent him

00:11:47.080 from wandering

00:11:47.840 and getting lost

00:11:48.860 it is

00:11:50.740 I think there's no chance

00:11:53.180 he's running

00:11:53.680 but some of these stories

00:11:55.580 you gotta understand

00:11:56.600 are ambitious Democrats

00:11:57.920 trying to take him out

00:11:59.040 and we can already see

00:12:00.480 the daggers

00:12:01.900 between Kamala Harris

00:12:03.300 and Pete Buttigieg

00:12:05.020 both of which are

00:12:06.360 it's not even daggers

00:12:07.640 it's chainsaws

00:12:08.720 it's Patriot missiles

00:12:11.400 they're firing against

00:12:12.280 they're probably Scuds

00:12:13.040 but

00:12:13.280 and by the way

00:12:15.560 Gavin Newsom now

00:12:16.780 you know

00:12:17.080 your former governor

00:12:18.100 chiming in

00:12:19.460 and trying desperately

00:12:20.560 to say

00:12:21.000 look at me

00:12:21.460 look at me

00:12:22.140 this is

00:12:23.540 and then you're gonna have

00:12:24.160 Elizabeth Warren

00:12:25.020 riding in

00:12:26.060 on a rainbow unicorn

00:12:27.800 it's

00:12:30.060 the 24 Democratic primary

00:12:34.040 has started already

00:12:35.220 and it ain't pretty

00:12:36.180 they're going to

00:12:37.080 light each other up

00:12:38.520 and and and Biden

00:12:39.820 is just a casualty

00:12:40.740 of that

00:12:41.120 Newsom is buying

00:12:42.300 airtime in Florida

00:12:43.500 that's kind of a weird

00:12:44.440 thing to do

00:12:45.180 if you're focused

00:12:46.060 on rebuilding

00:12:46.760 your state

00:12:47.420 it's not a weird

00:12:47.920 thing to do

00:12:48.340 if you want to

00:12:49.000 position yourself

00:12:49.700 for 2024

00:12:50.540 you mentioned

00:12:51.320 our friend

00:12:51.920 Lia Watha there

00:12:52.800 Ms. Warren

00:12:53.800 Elizabeth Warren

00:12:55.300 seems to be

00:12:56.120 riding in on this

00:12:57.220 issue of abortion

00:12:58.580 she's focusing

00:12:59.560 so intently

00:13:00.680 I mean you can almost

00:13:01.260 see the fire in her eyes

00:13:02.540 when she lights up

00:13:03.940 first about the leak

00:13:04.880 then about the Dobbs decision

00:13:06.320 now about the pro-life

00:13:07.520 laws all around the country

00:13:08.640 you had a pretty

00:13:10.480 bizarre exchange

00:13:12.400 today in the Senate

00:13:13.780 there was a hearing

00:13:14.840 on abortion

00:13:16.060 I looked at polls

00:13:18.780 I saw that

00:13:19.580 for

00:13:20.380 only 15%

00:13:21.860 of the electorate

00:13:22.520 is abortion 0.80

00:13:23.020 the top issue

00:13:23.920 most people

00:13:24.760 don't vote

00:13:25.480 on abortion

00:13:26.140 whether we're talking

00:13:26.640 pro-life

00:13:27.120 or pro-abortion

00:13:28.100 the Democrats

00:13:30.300 abortion position

00:13:31.120 abortion on demand

00:13:32.060 without apology

00:13:32.660 until the moment of birth

00:13:33.480 that is not where

00:13:34.460 the American people

00:13:35.220 are

00:13:35.420 no polls

00:13:36.060 suggest that it is

00:13:37.140 is this going to be

00:13:38.260 a winner

00:13:38.700 for Liz Warren

00:13:39.980 do the Democrats

00:13:41.100 really think

00:13:41.700 that they should keep

00:13:42.340 putting their

00:13:42.980 pro-abortion

00:13:43.500 talking points

00:13:44.240 in before the midterms

00:13:45.220 so look

00:13:46.820 it might well

00:13:47.560 be a winner

00:13:48.080 for her

00:13:48.660 in the Democrat

00:13:49.200 primary

00:13:49.660 their primary

00:13:51.100 has been

00:13:51.860 become a race

00:13:53.040 to the crazy left

00:13:54.000 it's not a winner

00:13:55.680 I don't believe

00:13:56.700 in the general election

00:13:58.400 and you know

00:13:59.520 you mentioned

00:13:59.920 we had a hearing

00:14:00.460 today in the

00:14:00.940 Judiciary Committee

00:14:01.640 that Dick Durbin

00:14:02.980 the chairman

00:14:03.400 of the committee

00:14:03.860 held

00:14:04.200 and it was

00:14:04.700 designed

00:14:05.420 to describe

00:14:07.020 what an

00:14:07.760 apocalyptic hell

00:14:09.240 we're living in

00:14:10.280 post-Obs

00:14:11.220 that without Roe

00:14:12.220 America is

00:14:13.480 an unrecognizable

00:14:14.900 it's Mad Max

00:14:15.740 at Thunderdome

00:14:16.520 it's truly horrific

00:14:18.360 and I gotta say

00:14:20.080 I think the hearing

00:14:20.760 went really

00:14:21.920 really badly

00:14:22.860 for Democrats

00:14:23.540 I think by the end

00:14:24.300 of the hearing

00:14:24.800 even the Democrats

00:14:26.640 were starting

00:14:27.320 to recognize

00:14:27.940 this is not going

00:14:29.420 the way we wanted it to

00:14:30.600 Senator

00:14:31.140 I think you're

00:14:31.760 being modest

00:14:32.380 actually

00:14:33.040 I think what

00:14:33.920 happened

00:14:34.320 is that you

00:14:34.940 you personally

00:14:36.020 rhetorically

00:14:36.940 shivved

00:14:37.560 poor Dick Durbin

00:14:38.740 and you didn't

00:14:39.580 do it by

00:14:40.080 lobbing any

00:14:40.680 bombs

00:14:41.060 all I saw

00:14:42.400 was the one

00:14:42.900 clip of you

00:14:43.360 talking about

00:14:43.820 Dick Durbin

00:14:44.220 you just read

00:14:45.460 his own words

00:14:46.280 back to him

00:14:46.900 well I pointed

00:14:47.940 out that

00:14:48.600 that the

00:14:49.900 Democrat Party

00:14:50.900 used to have

00:14:51.820 room for

00:14:52.560 diversity

00:14:53.140 used to have

00:14:53.840 some voices

00:14:54.620 of reasonableness

00:14:55.720 on all sorts

00:14:57.360 of issues

00:14:57.740 look on foreign 0.99

00:14:58.280 policy there were

00:14:59.060 scoop Jackson

00:14:59.680 Democrats

00:15:00.340 there were

00:15:01.660 more moderate

00:15:03.260 Democrats

00:15:04.060 Planned Parenthood

00:15:06.320 versus Casey

00:15:07.080 a lot of people

00:15:07.700 don't know

00:15:08.340 that the Casey

00:15:09.180 there was

00:15:09.980 Governor Bob

00:15:10.840 Casey Senior

00:15:11.760 he was a

00:15:12.360 Democrat

00:15:12.720 he was

00:15:13.280 strongly pro-life

00:15:15.080 today's Democrats

00:15:17.440 have said

00:15:17.780 if you're pro-life

00:15:18.600 get out of the

00:15:19.240 party

00:15:19.460 we don't want

00:15:20.260 you

00:15:20.500 and so at

00:15:23.640 the hearing

00:15:24.080 I took a chance

00:15:25.060 to say

00:15:25.500 to say

00:15:26.500 all right

00:15:26.780 we should

00:15:28.280 reflect on

00:15:29.220 just how

00:15:30.020 radicalized

00:15:31.080 the Democrat

00:15:31.620 Party's gotten

00:15:32.240 on abortion

00:15:32.720 and I said

00:15:33.240 for example

00:15:33.840 when Roe

00:15:35.060 versus Wade

00:15:35.880 was decided

00:15:36.500 1973

00:15:37.360 one person

00:15:39.120 who was

00:15:39.440 very critical

00:15:40.040 was a person

00:15:40.640 named Joseph

00:15:41.220 Robinette

00:15:41.700 Biden Jr.

00:15:42.940 who said

00:15:43.480 in 1974

00:15:44.240 quote

00:15:44.940 I don't like

00:15:46.820 the Supreme

00:15:47.420 Court decision

00:15:48.300 on abortion

00:15:49.140 I think it

00:15:50.600 went too far

00:15:51.580 I don't think

00:15:53.260 that a woman 0.98

00:15:53.820 has the sole

00:15:54.580 right to say

00:15:55.420 what should

00:15:55.860 happen to her

00:15:56.500 body

00:15:56.800 so that was

00:15:57.280 Joe Biden

00:15:57.800 in 74

00:15:58.280 and I put

00:15:59.380 it I said

00:15:59.740 well okay

00:16:00.200 maybe 74

00:16:01.900 is a long

00:16:02.380 time ago

00:16:03.000 he you know

00:16:04.540 he's woken

00:16:05.780 up since then

00:16:06.580 well let's

00:16:07.240 look at Joe

00:16:07.740 Biden

00:16:08.140 in 2007

00:16:10.020 2007

00:16:10.560 is just

00:16:11.080 just 15

00:16:11.700 years ago

00:16:12.300 Joe Biden

00:16:13.860 is on

00:16:14.200 meet the

00:16:14.500 press

00:16:14.740 Tim Russert

00:16:15.420 says

00:16:15.900 quote

00:16:16.340 you supported

00:16:17.960 that ban 0.69

00:16:18.620 on late

00:16:19.020 term abortions

00:16:19.960 and Biden

00:16:20.860 said

00:16:21.260 quote

00:16:21.620 I did

00:16:22.740 and I do

00:16:23.960 that was

00:16:25.260 just 15

00:16:25.900 years ago

00:16:26.440 that was

00:16:26.800 the position

00:16:27.240 of Joe

00:16:27.640 Biden

00:16:28.020 just a few

00:16:29.320 weeks ago

00:16:29.860 the Democrats

00:16:30.580 voted

00:16:31.040 to strike

00:16:32.120 down

00:16:32.540 every ban

00:16:33.440 in the

00:16:33.700 country

00:16:34.000 on late

00:16:34.420 term

00:16:34.660 abortions

00:16:35.360 and every

00:16:36.560 single

00:16:36.900 Democrat

00:16:37.320 but one

00:16:37.840 voted

00:16:38.140 for it

00:16:38.600 the view

00:16:39.640 of Joe

00:16:40.280 Biden

00:16:40.740 15

00:16:41.980 years

00:16:42.440 ago

00:16:42.740 or 1974

00:16:43.580 is no

00:16:44.120 longer

00:16:44.420 allowed

00:16:44.880 in today's

00:16:45.440 radicalized

00:16:46.080 Democrat

00:16:46.440 party

00:16:46.880 and then

00:16:48.240 here's what

00:16:48.740 you referenced

00:16:49.300 that I pointed

00:16:49.840 out to show

00:16:50.360 just how far

00:16:51.060 it was gotten

00:16:51.660 it's not

00:16:52.820 just Joe

00:16:53.320 Biden

00:16:53.720 the chairman

00:16:55.140 of the Judiciary

00:16:55.780 Committee

00:16:56.160 Dick Durbin

00:16:56.780 in June

00:16:57.540 of 1983

00:16:58.320 Durbin wrote

00:17:00.300 a letter

00:17:00.660 and here's

00:17:01.080 I quoted

00:17:01.760 it at the

00:17:02.100 hearing

00:17:02.400 the letter

00:17:03.520 says

00:17:03.880 quote

00:17:04.200 I have

00:17:05.460 clearly

00:17:05.820 studied

00:17:06.460 the issue

00:17:07.000 of abortion

00:17:07.600 in depth

00:17:08.880 and I'm

00:17:10.180 in favor

00:17:10.740 of the

00:17:11.160 Eagleton

00:17:11.520 amendment

00:17:11.980 which states

00:17:13.180 clearly

00:17:13.720 that the

00:17:14.180 right to

00:17:14.660 abortion

00:17:15.160 is not

00:17:16.740 guaranteed

00:17:17.500 by the

00:17:18.220 U.S.

00:17:18.620 Constitution

00:17:19.260 the effect

00:17:21.020 of this

00:17:21.520 amendment

00:17:21.960 will be

00:17:23.000 to return

00:17:23.780 us to

00:17:24.540 the legal

00:17:25.100 environment

00:17:25.740 which existed

00:17:27.000 before

00:17:27.840 Roe vs.

00:17:28.720 Wade

00:17:28.980 in 1973

00:17:30.480 and it

00:17:31.000 was signed

00:17:31.500 Richard J.

00:17:32.480 Durbin

00:17:32.740 member of

00:17:33.300 Congress

00:17:33.760 and it

00:17:34.860 wasn't just

00:17:35.300 in 1983

00:17:36.000 fast forward

00:17:37.020 to 1989

00:17:37.720 so six

00:17:38.380 years later

00:17:38.880 Chairman

00:17:40.140 Durbin

00:17:40.540 wrote

00:17:40.880 again

00:17:41.380 and here's

00:17:41.740 a quote

00:17:42.100 I believe

00:17:43.720 we should

00:17:44.360 end

00:17:45.000 abortion

00:17:45.760 on demand

00:17:46.480 and at

00:17:47.720 every

00:17:47.960 opportunity

00:17:48.500 I've

00:17:48.860 translated

00:17:49.380 this

00:17:49.700 belief

00:17:50.060 into

00:17:50.300 votes

00:17:50.860 in the

00:17:51.120 Houses

00:17:51.400 of

00:17:51.720 Representatives

00:17:52.300 I

00:17:55.100 continue

00:17:55.760 to believe

00:17:56.460 the Supreme

00:17:57.240 Court's

00:17:57.840 decision

00:17:58.340 in Roe

00:17:58.960 vs.

00:17:59.420 Wade

00:17:59.760 should

00:18:00.940 be

00:18:01.840 reversed 0.97

00:18:02.940 Dick

00:18:04.300 Durbin

00:18:04.660 now the

00:18:06.860 chairman

00:18:07.240 Democrat

00:18:08.080 chairman

00:18:08.580 of

00:18:09.200 the

00:18:10.220 Judiciary

00:18:10.720 Committee

00:18:11.100 and he's

00:18:11.540 one of

00:18:11.840 the

00:18:11.940 people

00:18:12.180 who

00:18:12.340 happily

00:18:12.780 voted

00:18:13.240 to

00:18:13.680 strike

00:18:14.100 down

00:18:14.520 every

00:18:15.620 single

00:18:16.260 restriction

00:18:16.800 of

00:18:17.080 abortion

00:18:17.460 on

00:18:17.680 the

00:18:17.800 country

00:18:18.200 and

00:18:18.760 to

00:18:18.920 allow

00:18:19.260 unlimited

00:18:19.880 abortion

00:18:20.340 on

00:18:20.600 demand

00:18:21.040 because

00:18:21.520 the

00:18:21.920 Democrats

00:18:22.380 are

00:18:23.420 wildly

00:18:24.420 out of

00:18:24.860 step

00:18:25.060 on this

00:18:25.420 issue

00:18:25.680 what's

00:18:26.240 amazing

00:18:26.660 is that

00:18:27.500 you're

00:18:28.160 reading

00:18:29.980 their own

00:18:30.380 words

00:18:30.720 you're

00:18:31.180 gutting

00:18:31.560 their

00:18:31.720 argument

00:18:32.080 with

00:18:32.380 their

00:18:32.540 own

00:18:32.760 words

00:18:33.140 from

00:18:33.360 the

00:18:33.500 distant

00:18:33.740 past

00:18:34.100 and

00:18:34.280 the

00:18:34.400 not

00:18:34.540 so

00:18:34.680 distant

00:18:34.920 past

00:18:35.380 wasn't

00:18:36.120 even

00:18:36.340 the

00:18:36.520 craziest

00:18:36.900 exchange

00:18:37.960 that I

00:18:38.360 saw

00:18:38.720 frankly

00:18:39.840 it might

00:18:40.120 not have

00:18:41.100 two

00:18:41.420 craziest

00:18:41.800 exchanges

00:18:42.320 that I

00:18:42.940 saw

00:18:43.140 during

00:18:43.420 this

00:18:43.620 hearing

00:18:43.880 today

00:18:44.260 the

00:18:44.640 Democrats

00:18:45.020 put

00:18:45.500 forward

00:18:45.960 some

00:18:46.340 pro-abortion

00:18:47.200 radical

00:18:47.780 and your

00:18:48.480 colleague

00:18:48.800 from Texas

00:18:49.380 Senator

00:18:49.840 Senator

00:18:50.540 Cornyn

00:18:51.560 couldn't

00:18:52.520 get an

00:18:52.760 answer

00:18:53.040 out of

00:18:53.400 her

00:18:53.560 it took

00:18:53.920 a while

00:18:54.220 to get

00:18:54.420 an answer

00:18:54.760 out of

00:18:55.040 her

00:18:55.180 on the

00:18:55.740 value

00:18:56.080 of

00:18:56.280 babies

00:18:56.700 yeah

00:18:57.880 it was

00:18:58.860 really

00:18:59.260 extreme

00:18:59.720 I do

00:19:00.400 want to

00:19:00.700 say

00:19:00.860 before we

00:19:01.320 leave

00:19:01.520 the

00:19:01.640 Durbin

00:19:10.380 with his

00:19:10.760 signature

00:19:11.180 and look

00:19:12.420 to be

00:19:12.760 honest

00:19:13.060 I mean

00:19:13.360 I'm

00:19:14.040 filleting

00:19:14.760 the guy

00:21:54.600 the

00:21:54.880 smugness

00:21:55.600 of

00:21:56.400 a

00:21:56.740 leftist

00:21:57.540 who

00:21:57.800 views

00:21:58.200 all

00:21:58.660 of

00:21:58.840 us

00:21:59.040 with

00:22:08.400 that

00:22:08.660 is

00:22:09.300 born

00:22:09.640 let's

00:22:10.880 say

00:22:11.140 the

00:22:11.820 day

00:22:12.200 before

00:22:12.740 this

00:22:13.060 mother

00:22:13.320 delivers

00:22:13.840 do

00:22:14.920 you

00:22:17.500 value

00:22:18.000 her

00:22:19.600 answer

00:22:20.000 I

00:22:22.220 pregnancy

00:22:22.540 has

00:22:22.820 value

00:22:23.220 and

00:22:23.420 they

00:22:23.540 should

00:22:24.320 have

00:22:24.500 the

00:22:24.620 ability

00:22:24.900 to

00:22:25.080 control

00:22:25.340 what

00:22:25.500 happens

00:22:25.760 to

00:22:25.880 their

00:22:26.020 life

00:22:26.340 now

00:22:27.020 I gotta

00:22:27.420 say

00:22:27.760 even

00:22:28.140 among

00:22:28.540 advocates

00:22:29.180 for

00:22:29.460 abortion

00:22:29.900 it

00:22:33.500 is

00:22:33.800 stunning

00:22:34.640 to

00:22:35.500 have

00:22:35.800 a

00:22:36.000 witness

00:22:36.460 who

00:22:51.300 a

00:22:51.480 sentence

00:22:51.720 she's

00:22:52.000 willing

00:22:52.200 to

00:22:53.920 pro

00:22:54.120 abortion

00:22:54.500 who

00:22:54.720 could

00:22:54.840 say

00:22:55.080 yes

00:22:55.380 of

00:22:55.560 course

00:23:00.600 more

00:23:00.900 I

00:23:01.220 understand

00:23:01.680 that

00:23:02.060 position

00:23:02.520 that's

00:23:03.180 not

00:23:03.320 what

00:23:03.500 she

00:23:03.620 said

00:23:03.980 she's

00:23:05.200 unwilling

00:23:12.420 her

00:23:12.540 four

00:23:12.820 seconds

00:23:13.220 to

00:23:13.480 acknowledge

00:23:13.980 that

00:23:15.180 even

00:23:15.500 a

00:23:15.700 baby

00:23:19.000 question

00:23:19.500 to

00:23:20.460 me

00:23:20.660 that's

00:23:20.960 even

00:23:21.380 almost

00:23:22.240 crazier

00:23:22.840 that

00:23:23.080 it

00:23:23.520 would

00:23:23.640 be

00:23:23.840 like

00:23:27.080 I'll

00:23:27.180 say

00:23:27.300 I

00:23:27.720 think

00:23:27.940 the

00:23:28.100 1998

00:23:28.680 New

00:23:31.940 fine

00:23:32.260 but

00:23:32.640 but

00:23:33.220 that's

00:23:33.380 not

00:23:33.500 what

00:23:33.600 I'm

00:23:35.780 a

00:23:36.000 really

00:23:36.420 weird

00:23:36.840 tick

00:23:37.180 so

00:23:37.440 this

00:23:38.400 whole

00:23:38.600 questioning

00:23:38.980 with

00:23:39.180 Cornyn

00:23:39.500 occurred

00:23:39.780 after

00:23:44.760 a

00:23:45.920 word

00:23:46.280 that

00:23:46.560 she

00:23:46.860 didn't

00:23:47.400 use

00:23:47.960 in

00:23:48.180 response

00:23:48.640 to

00:23:48.960 of

00:23:49.060 those

00:23:49.180 questions

00:23:49.640 the

00:23:50.540 most

00:23:50.720 controversial

00:23:51.120 word

00:23:51.600 around

00:23:56.120 Brown 0.70

00:23:56.400 Jackson

00:23:56.820 doesn't

00:23:57.260 know

00:23:57.640 what

00:23:58.480 a

00:23:58.600 woman 0.99

00:23:58.780 is

00:23:59.240 and

00:24:00.020 she

00:24:00.180 kept

00:24:00.480 using

00:24:00.860 this

00:24:01.160 this

00:24:01.420 phrase

00:24:02.160 a

00:24:03.060 person

00:24:03.700 with

00:24:04.260 the

00:24:04.480 capacity

00:24:05.140 for

00:24:06.280 pregnancy

00:24:06.920 which

00:24:07.240 I

00:24:07.440 don't

00:24:07.560 think

00:24:07.720 I've

00:24:07.880 ever

00:24:08.100 heard

00:24:08.540 that

00:24:08.820 phrase

00:24:09.280 until

00:24:09.600 this

00:24:09.840 afternoon

00:24:10.260 and

00:24:11.940 that

00:24:12.860 led

00:24:13.340 to

00:24:13.800 one

00:24:14.160 of

00:24:14.260 the

00:24:14.380 most

00:24:14.720 astonishing

00:24:15.740 exchanges

00:24:16.580 so

00:24:16.960 after

00:24:17.440 Cornyn

00:24:18.020 Josh

00:24:19.000 Hawley

00:24:19.460 from

00:24:19.720 Missouri

00:24:20.140 had an

00:24:20.580 opportunity

00:24:20.960 to

00:24:21.180 question

00:24:21.500 her

00:24:21.700 and

00:24:21.860 he

00:24:22.020 couldn't

00:24:22.360 help

00:24:22.660 but

00:24:22.920 but

00:24:23.600 ask

00:24:24.200 about

00:24:24.560 this

00:24:24.820 bizarre

00:24:25.300 phrase

00:24:25.780 she

00:24:25.980 kept

00:24:26.260 using

00:24:26.680 a

00:24:26.900 person

00:24:27.300 with

00:24:27.520 capacity

00:24:28.020 for

00:24:28.300 pregnancy

00:24:28.740 you

00:24:29.900 referred

00:24:30.180 to

00:24:30.360 people

00:24:30.660 with

00:24:30.840 a

00:24:30.940 capacity

00:24:31.460 for

00:24:31.780 pregnancy

00:24:32.320 would

00:24:33.780 that

00:24:33.900 be

00:24:34.000 women 1.00

00:24:34.340 many

00:24:37.420 women 1.00

00:24:37.840 cis

00:24:38.200 women 1.00

00:24:38.480 have

00:24:38.780 the

00:24:38.920 capacity

00:24:39.280 for

00:24:39.460 pregnancy

00:24:39.820 many

00:24:40.120 cis

00:24:40.400 women 1.00

00:24:40.620 do

00:24:40.860 not

00:24:41.020 have

00:24:41.180 the

00:24:41.300 capacity

00:24:41.640 for

00:24:41.840 pregnancy

00:24:42.240 there

00:24:43.160 are

00:24:43.280 also

00:24:43.540 trans

00:24:43.960 men

00:24:44.160 who

00:24:44.300 are

00:24:44.420 capable

00:24:44.680 of

00:24:44.880 pregnancy

00:24:45.260 as

00:24:45.620 well

00:24:45.740 as

00:24:47.000 capable

00:24:47.240 of

00:24:47.420 pregnancy

00:24:47.780 so

00:24:48.200 this

00:24:48.400 isn't

00:24:48.660 really

00:24:48.880 a

00:24:49.080 women's

00:24:49.580 rights

00:24:50.100 issue

00:24:50.460 it

00:24:50.700 we

00:24:51.280 can

00:24:51.500 recognize

00:24:52.060 that this

00:24:52.500 impacts

00:24:52.900 women 1.00

00:24:53.260 while also

00:24:53.820 recognizing

00:24:54.340 that it

00:24:54.660 impacts

00:24:55.000 other groups

00:24:55.620 those things

00:24:56.160 are not mutually

00:24:56.840 exclusive

00:24:57.380 senator

00:24:57.880 holly

00:24:58.300 so

00:24:58.940 your view

00:24:59.900 is that the core

00:25:00.980 of this

00:25:01.480 right then is

00:25:02.740 about what

00:25:03.620 so

00:25:04.740 I want to

00:25:05.860 recognize that your line of questioning

00:25:07.340 is transphobic

00:25:09.240 and it opens up trans people to violence by not recognizing that 0.64

00:25:13.320 wow you're saying that I'm opening up people to violence by asking whether or not women are the folks who can have pregnancies

00:25:18.540 so

00:25:18.860 I'm

00:25:19.160 one

00:25:19.400 I want to note that one out of five transgender persons have attempted suicide

00:25:25.240 so I think it's important

00:25:26.580 because of my line of questioning

00:25:27.760 so we can't talk about it

00:25:29.300 because denying that trans people exist and pretending not to know that they exist

00:25:34.140 I'm denying that trans people exist by asking you if you're talking about women 0.99

00:25:38.040 are you having pregnancies

00:25:39.280 do you believe that men can get pregnant 0.81

00:25:41.580 no I don't think

00:25:43.120 so you're denying that trans people exist

00:25:45.100 and that leads to violence

00:25:46.280 is this how you run your classroom

00:25:47.660 are students allowed to question you

00:25:49.480 or are they also treated like this

00:25:51.300 where they're told that they're opening up people to violence

00:25:54.260 we have a good time in my class

00:25:55.880 you should join

00:25:56.500 I bet

00:25:56.860 you might learn a lot

00:25:57.700 wow I would learn a lot

00:25:59.540 I've learned a lot

00:26:00.240 I know

00:26:00.560 absolutely

00:26:01.040 extraordinary

00:26:02.200 that is a truly extraordinary exchange senator

00:26:06.220 how did your colleague Mr. Hawley keep his cool

00:26:09.300 it is amazing

00:26:12.060 look I gotta say I've served in the Senate 10 years

00:26:15.400 I've seen lots of witnesses in front of lots of committees

00:26:18.940 number one

00:26:19.720 I have never seen a witness

00:26:22.920 as moonbat bizarre

00:26:27.140 out there

00:26:29.360 as this witness

00:26:30.900 and I've also never seen a witness

00:26:33.660 as contemptuous

00:26:35.440 of a senator asking her a question

00:26:38.880 in a Senate hearing

00:26:39.900 as that professor was

00:26:41.980 and it's the contempt

00:26:43.080 of the hard left

00:26:44.540 it's the same contempt

00:26:45.700 of the White House staffer

00:26:47.640 that said to Jill Biden

00:26:48.880 call Hispanics tacos 1.00

00:26:50.180 it's if you don't agree

00:26:52.900 with what we demand

00:26:54.040 it is sneering

00:26:57.200 condescension

00:26:58.880 you're opening up for violence

00:27:00.700 after that exchange

00:27:02.340 I pulled Josh aside

00:27:04.260 on the Senate floor

00:27:05.040 and I was like 0.98

00:27:07.040 holy crap 0.95

00:27:08.340 what an exchange 0.98

00:27:09.340 and I actually confessed

00:27:10.960 I said you know

00:27:12.300 my team had written

00:27:13.940 a line of questioning

00:27:14.960 similar to this

00:27:16.040 because she used 0.98

00:27:17.040 in her written testimony

00:27:18.540 also the phrase

00:27:19.740 person with capacity

00:27:21.100 for

00:27:21.500 pregnancy

00:27:23.480 and I decided to focus

00:27:26.120 on the Durbin and Biden stuff

00:27:27.420 as well

00:27:27.780 just to show how radical

00:27:28.900 the Democrats were

00:27:30.740 rather than

00:27:31.480 going after the witness

00:27:32.840 in particular

00:27:33.540 but when Holly did that 1.00

00:27:37.140 and she came back

00:27:38.280 sneering

00:27:38.620 I actually asked him

00:27:40.000 I said

00:27:40.380 how on earth

00:27:41.420 did you keep your cool

00:27:42.560 I thought Josh did

00:27:43.280 a very nice job

00:27:44.400 of staying calm

00:27:45.840 I'll confess

00:27:46.480 I do not think

00:27:47.560 I would have remained

00:27:48.480 that calm

00:27:49.280 to that

00:27:50.460 he was

00:27:51.320 amused

00:27:52.620 and I particularly like

00:27:54.200 you know

00:27:54.540 I bet I would learn

00:27:55.840 a lot in your class

00:27:56.880 like

00:27:57.180 this is

00:27:58.680 her students

00:27:59.900 I mean you're literally

00:28:01.100 if you believe

00:28:04.000 that

00:28:04.980 women 1.00

00:28:06.380 get pregnant 0.87

00:28:08.120 apparently

00:28:09.780 that statement

00:28:11.060 is

00:28:11.680 inciting to violence

00:28:13.800 that's just

00:28:15.140 that is a clip

00:28:18.780 every voter in America

00:28:21.460 should watch

00:28:22.420 the day before

00:28:24.160 election day

00:28:24.900 I'll tell you

00:28:26.520 an exchange I had

00:28:27.340 with another

00:28:27.740 Democrat senator

00:28:28.540 on the judiciary

00:28:29.360 committee

00:28:29.860 oh I don't know

00:28:31.500 maybe a year ago

00:28:32.620 where he referred

00:28:33.980 to

00:28:34.700 birthing people 1.00

00:28:36.020 and I pulled him

00:28:38.000 aside

00:28:38.440 and I said

00:28:38.960 birthing people 1.00

00:28:40.060 is your base

00:28:42.400 really that

00:28:43.340 moonbat 0.70

00:28:44.400 crazy

00:28:45.040 that you can't

00:28:46.420 say bombs

00:28:47.060 like is the word

00:28:48.300 mother

00:28:48.920 now forbidden

00:28:51.060 and he

00:28:52.000 basically admitted

00:28:53.220 yeah it is

00:28:54.240 and you just saw

00:28:55.380 she's unwilling

00:28:57.060 to acknowledge

00:28:58.120 that it is

00:28:59.980 women who give 0.99

00:29:00.820 birth

00:29:01.220 there's an irony

00:29:01.880 to this too

00:29:02.580 which is that

00:29:03.060 their own people

00:29:03.600 don't love this

00:29:04.280 I mean I'm with you

00:29:05.040 I think we should

00:29:05.860 plaster this clip

00:29:06.720 everywhere

00:29:07.220 I endorse this woman

00:29:08.680 Professor Bridges

00:29:09.560 I endorse her

00:29:10.480 for the 2024

00:29:11.400 Democratic presidential

00:29:12.560 nomination

00:29:13.060 please Professor Bridges

00:29:14.820 now is the time

00:29:15.940 we need you

00:29:16.900 to accuse

00:29:18.040 90% of America

00:29:19.740 which understands

00:29:20.480 that men and women

00:29:21.020 are different

00:29:21.400 we need you

00:29:21.780 to call them 0.98

00:29:22.120 all killers

00:29:22.560 that's the way 0.95

00:29:23.600 that we want you

00:29:24.240 to run that election

00:29:25.100 and by the way

00:29:26.880 we need Kamala Harris 0.99

00:29:27.960 and Elizabeth Ward

00:29:28.800 and Pete Buttigieg

00:29:29.520 and Gavin Newsom

00:29:30.460 to get to the left 0.87

00:29:32.000 of crazy ladies 1.00

00:29:33.520 like that 0.98

00:29:34.360 I don't even know

00:29:36.460 what the next step is

00:29:37.760 like if you're not allowed

00:29:39.340 to say men and women

00:29:40.500 transhumanism

00:29:41.900 might be the next thing

00:29:42.940 is speciesism

00:29:43.820 I don't know

00:29:44.420 I don't want to give them ideas

00:29:46.800 but there's this irony here

00:29:48.560 which you mentioned

00:29:49.400 that the Democratic

00:29:50.580 Democratic senators

00:29:51.760 for goodness sakes

00:29:52.460 but certainly

00:29:53.480 these professors

00:29:54.220 are using all these phrases

00:29:55.840 birthing people 1.00

00:29:56.960 persons with the capacity

00:29:58.640 to become pregnant

00:29:59.520 just erasing women 0.99

00:30:00.820 entirely

00:30:01.300 from public life

00:30:02.460 there was a major criticism

00:30:04.080 of this the other day

00:30:04.960 from my absolute favorite

00:30:06.800 Twitter account

00:30:07.400 sorry Senator

00:30:08.240 you are not my favorite

00:30:09.260 my actual favorite

00:30:10.360 Twitter account

00:30:10.920 is Bette Midler

00:30:12.020 she posts by far

00:30:13.800 the greatest stuff

00:30:14.720 on that platform

00:30:15.520 Bette Midler

00:30:16.260 radical to the left

00:30:18.100 probably not the highest

00:30:19.320 information voter

00:30:20.460 out there

00:30:21.020 and she posts

00:30:22.100 in one of her rants

00:30:23.100 on Twitter

00:30:23.480 she says

00:30:23.940 these misogynists 0.98

00:30:25.560 these sexist conservatives 0.99

00:30:27.420 they're erasing women 0.93

00:30:28.960 they're taking away

00:30:29.720 our rights

00:30:30.120 they won't even

00:30:30.860 call us women anymore

00:30:31.860 they call us

00:30:32.740 birthing people 1.00

00:30:33.700 and all these sorts

00:30:34.420 of euphemisms

00:30:35.060 and I read that

00:30:35.860 and I said

00:30:36.160 well I'm with you

00:30:37.680 darling

00:30:38.060 I'm with you

00:30:38.940 Ms. Midler

00:30:39.600 we're not the ones

00:30:41.240 using the phrase

00:30:41.940 birthing people 1.00

00:30:42.640 and the funny thing

00:30:45.600 is that exchange

00:30:46.520 I saw that tweet

00:30:47.540 the left

00:30:49.380 lit her on fire

00:30:50.200 and she

00:30:52.360 look it is

00:30:53.360 obviously

00:30:53.840 yes

00:30:54.160 I believe

00:30:55.220 women exist 1.00

00:30:56.160 that didn't

00:30:57.620 used to be

00:30:58.260 a radical statement

00:30:59.360 and so the phrase

00:31:01.220 is

00:31:01.440 look

00:31:01.760 you actually

00:31:02.840 skipped over

00:31:03.860 the phrase

00:31:06.280 she used

00:31:07.180 she referred to

00:31:08.320 they won't call us

00:31:09.160 women 1.00

00:31:09.420 they call us

00:31:10.060 people with 0.99

00:31:10.680 vaginas 1.00

00:31:11.260 I gotta say

00:31:13.200 that's an obnoxious

00:31:14.980 but like

00:31:15.900 it really is

00:31:17.240 reducing

00:31:18.040 women to 1.00

00:31:19.060 genitalia 0.99

00:31:19.880 and that's

00:31:21.000 the modern left

00:31:21.980 and it

00:31:22.660 and even

00:31:23.680 Bette Midler

00:31:24.300 recognizes

00:31:24.960 this is horrible

00:31:25.940 and so the woke

00:31:26.820 left immediately

00:31:27.620 says

00:31:28.240 Bette Midler

00:31:29.980 you're not

00:31:32.080 woke enough

00:31:32.680 I will say

00:31:33.180 by the way

00:31:33.680 as obnoxious

00:31:34.960 as Bette Midler

00:31:35.500 can be on

00:31:36.140 on Twitter

00:31:36.900 she is one

00:31:38.460 heck of a singer

00:31:39.120 have you seen

00:31:40.140 the movie

00:31:40.420 For the Boys

00:31:41.040 I haven't

00:31:42.320 no

00:31:42.560 oh

00:31:44.040 oh

00:31:44.400 it's a

00:31:45.000 fabulous movie

00:31:46.340 with James

00:31:47.300 Khan

00:31:47.680 who we just

00:31:48.100 lost

00:31:48.540 yeah

00:31:48.860 and they're

00:31:50.820 a husband

00:31:51.360 wife

00:31:51.920 who are

00:31:52.280 singing

00:31:52.780 and they

00:31:53.300 sing

00:31:53.740 for the

00:31:54.120 troops

00:31:54.560 and it

00:31:54.860 starts

00:31:55.260 in the

00:31:56.100 50s

00:31:56.720 and goes

00:31:57.040 through

00:31:57.240 Vietnam

00:31:57.700 it starts

00:31:58.240 in the

00:31:58.440 40s

00:31:58.820 actually

00:31:59.060 goes

00:31:59.280 through

00:31:59.460 Vietnam

00:31:59.980 and they

00:32:00.940 age

00:32:01.540 and it's

00:32:02.000 a fabulous

00:32:02.980 show

00:32:03.440 but the

00:32:04.100 songs

00:32:04.720 I may not

00:32:06.740 be a fan

00:32:07.240 of her

00:32:07.460 politics

00:32:07.860 generally

00:32:08.460 but that

00:32:09.300 woman can 1.00

00:32:09.740 sing

00:32:10.020 well speaking

00:32:10.900 of left-wing

00:32:11.640 singers

00:32:12.040 who are

00:32:12.380 taking issue

00:32:12.980 with this

00:32:13.280 did you

00:32:13.540 did you

00:32:13.920 see the

00:32:14.680 Macy Gray

00:32:15.500 interview

00:32:16.600 flip-flop

00:32:18.260 on this

00:32:18.840 specific issue

00:32:19.480 on transgenderism

00:32:20.440 I have no

00:32:22.360 idea who that

00:32:22.920 person is

00:32:23.540 she did that

00:32:24.160 song

00:32:24.500 I try to

00:32:26.140 say goodbye

00:32:27.300 and I

00:32:27.980 how much of

00:32:28.560 this song am I

00:32:28.960 gonna have to

00:32:29.280 get through

00:32:29.540 before you

00:32:30.140 I have no

00:32:31.180 idea who

00:32:31.560 that person

00:32:31.940 is

00:32:32.220 well then I

00:32:33.100 will spare

00:32:33.680 you the rest

00:32:34.220 of the one

00:32:34.920 Macy Gray

00:32:35.360 song I know

00:32:35.920 Macy Gray

00:32:36.680 was this singer

00:32:37.420 she still 0.93

00:32:38.600 is she's

00:32:38.960 still around

00:32:39.420 she was a

00:32:40.160 popular singer

00:32:40.840 in the late

00:32:41.200 90s early

00:32:41.720 2000s she's

00:32:42.860 kind of making

00:32:43.600 a comeback

00:32:44.040 now she's got

00:32:44.680 some new

00:32:44.980 album coming

00:32:45.560 out and so

00:32:46.220 she goes on

00:32:47.100 an interview

00:32:47.460 on Piers

00:32:47.880 Morgan's show

00:32:48.540 and she

00:32:49.280 said she

00:32:49.640 acknowledges she

00:32:50.320 says look I

00:32:51.260 know this isn't

00:32:51.880 politically correct

00:32:52.700 right now I

00:32:53.500 know I might

00:32:53.940 irritate some

00:32:54.720 people but I'm

00:32:56.320 a woman it 0.91

00:32:57.080 matters to me to

00:32:57.740 be a woman and

00:32:58.800 I don't I

00:32:59.960 don't think that

00:33:00.700 men who call

00:33:01.340 themselves women I

00:33:02.200 don't think they're

00:33:02.640 really women I

00:33:03.360 don't think if you

00:33:03.900 get a surgery that

00:33:04.720 that magically makes

00:33:05.920 you a woman I 0.93

00:33:06.760 am woman hear me

00:33:07.400 roar really basic

00:33:08.600 point everybody

00:33:09.540 would have agreed

00:33:10.160 with this five

00:33:10.780 minutes ago the

00:33:11.960 left lights her

00:33:13.320 up I'm sure she

00:33:14.400 got a bunch of

00:33:15.320 angry calls from

00:33:16.020 her agent she

00:33:16.980 goes on the

00:33:17.620 today show she

00:33:18.840 goes on with

00:33:19.540 Hoda the host

00:33:20.820 on the today show

00:33:21.560 and it was like a

00:33:22.760 hostage tape and

00:33:24.300 she's sitting there

00:33:24.800 this is just what

00:33:25.660 four days after she

00:33:26.800 made the comments

00:33:27.580 of her very clear

00:33:28.700 views that she

00:33:29.340 had considered and

00:33:30.020 she knew wouldn't

00:33:30.440 be popular and

00:33:31.420 then she completely

00:33:32.120 flips them and the

00:33:33.540 interviewer says so

00:33:35.100 Macy have you

00:33:35.960 learned what have

00:33:37.020 you learned have

00:33:37.960 you have you been

00:33:38.780 educated and

00:33:39.740 Macy says yeah

00:33:40.460 well I guess

00:33:42.460 anyway yeah okay

00:33:44.740 fine anybody can be

00:33:45.940 a woman all right

00:33:46.680 can you buy my

00:33:47.200 album now please

00:33:48.020 and she was

00:33:48.880 browbeaten into

00:33:50.040 falling into line

00:33:51.240 but I wonder how

00:33:52.300 many Macy Gray

00:33:53.520 wanted to get rid

00:33:54.680 of the national

00:33:55.340 anthem okay Macy

00:33:56.780 Gray wanted to get

00:33:57.280 rid of the star

00:33:57.760 spangled banner

00:33:58.500 because she's so

00:33:59.580 far to the left

00:34:00.380 and she was swept

00:34:01.300 up in the anti

00:34:02.220 American rhetoric of

00:34:03.180 the last few years

00:34:03.880 she is not a

00:34:04.720 conservative Bette

00:34:05.440 Midler is not a

00:34:06.240 conservative if if

00:34:07.540 the libs if the

00:34:08.680 Democrats are losing

00:34:09.580 Bette and Macy

00:34:10.940 how many more

00:34:11.920 people are they

00:34:12.460 losing on this

00:34:13.080 issue well you

00:34:14.120 forgot JK Rowling

00:34:15.260 who even Harry

00:34:16.480 Potter Potter has

00:34:18.060 denounced JK Rowling

00:34:19.720 who like wrote the 0.77

00:34:21.100 whole damn thing 0.78

00:34:22.020 again for the the 0.99

00:34:24.040 radical heresy of

00:34:26.160 saying women exist 1.00

00:34:28.280 yeah so I sort of

00:34:31.320 hope that this issue

00:34:32.900 is one where the

00:34:34.720 left is leaning

00:34:35.480 really hard I

00:34:36.580 don't maybe because

00:34:37.100 they they really

00:34:37.860 believe it ideologically

00:34:38.840 maybe because they

00:34:39.520 need to serve a

00:34:40.160 radical base but I

00:34:41.300 just think if if

00:34:43.400 now Bette Midler and

00:34:44.500 Macy Gray are on JK

00:34:45.920 Rowling are considered

00:34:46.960 on the right how do

00:34:48.620 they expect to win an

00:34:49.460 election in November

00:34:50.260 forget about 2024

00:34:51.500 well and actually this

00:34:54.140 connects back to the

00:34:55.040 issue we started with

00:34:56.180 which was the whole

00:34:56.880 Latinx thing so look

00:34:58.700 literally the Spanish

00:34:59.760 language you define

00:35:02.280 someone Latino and

00:35:03.320 Latina based on

00:35:04.300 whether they're male

00:35:04.920 or female and most

00:35:06.540 words in Spanish are

00:35:08.100 either male or

00:35:09.780 female the entire 0.96

00:35:10.860 language is designed

00:35:14.020 is is structured in

00:35:15.660 fact one of the

00:35:16.080 reasons my Spanish is 0.98

00:35:17.000 so lousy is I screw

00:35:18.200 up the male and 0.77

00:35:18.940 female and all the 0.99

00:35:21.780 time in Spanish but

00:35:23.740 someone putting Latinx

00:35:25.200 in is literally saying

00:35:26.760 your entire language and

00:35:29.380 culture matters less to

00:35:31.920 me than my ideology

00:35:34.000 that women do not 1.00

00:35:35.580 exist I mean it's 0.84

00:35:37.040 that's weird well now

00:35:39.820 this does get to a

00:35:41.080 mailbag question we got

00:35:42.140 because if you look at

00:35:43.300 the polls right now the

00:35:44.100 Democrats are underwater

00:35:45.020 on every single issue

00:35:46.520 with this possible

00:35:47.660 exception of COVID

00:35:48.620 that's the one issue

00:35:49.760 where they might have a

00:35:50.640 very slight net

00:35:51.560 positive so this

00:35:52.400 question in from Jake

00:35:53.360 Rochelle Walensky CDC

00:35:55.080 director and Joe Biden

00:35:56.760 are already sounding

00:35:57.840 the alarm on a new

00:35:58.820 round of COVID in your

00:36:00.660 estimation Senator are

00:36:01.800 the Democrats planning

00:36:02.860 to lock down again

00:36:04.560 before the midterms

00:36:05.540 I doubt they'll go so

00:36:10.080 far as to lock down

00:36:11.560 but I do think the

00:36:12.740 Democrats desperately

00:36:13.760 want a COVID scare

00:36:15.020 they want masks they

00:36:16.400 want I think they view

00:36:19.060 that as as one of the

00:36:20.460 few issues that can

00:36:21.540 rescue them I'll be

00:36:24.760 surprised if they go

00:36:26.100 so far as to try

00:36:27.240 lockdowns again but

00:36:28.520 but I do think some

00:36:30.160 some good old-fashioned

00:36:31.320 fear-mongering we're

00:36:32.620 definitely we saw that

00:36:33.780 on monkeypox where

00:36:35.160 where the the White

00:36:37.000 House was was trying

00:36:38.140 to lean in on that

00:36:39.080 they're really eager for

00:36:41.120 for some health threat

00:36:43.620 to distract from from

00:36:46.000 the train wreck that

00:36:47.060 that that is their

00:36:47.960 policy failures this

00:36:49.660 question from our

00:36:50.640 cactus our very own

00:36:51.680 cactus this comes from

00:36:52.900 the verdict plus

00:36:53.860 community she says

00:36:54.980 some conservatives

00:36:55.560 handle a banning by

00:36:57.120 sticking to their guns

00:36:58.240 like the Babylon Bee

00:36:59.560 who you just

00:37:00.180 referenced while others

00:37:01.500 will follow along with

00:37:02.540 Twitter rules so that

00:37:03.820 they can maintain their

00:37:04.600 platform and continue to

00:37:05.840 call out Twitter's

00:37:06.660 hypocrisy if one of our

00:37:08.740 friends from verdict were

00:37:09.740 in this situation what

00:37:11.240 would they do senator

00:37:13.140 awfully good question I

00:37:15.340 will say the last

00:37:18.280 podcast we did we

00:37:19.580 talked about Jordan

00:37:21.060 Peterson being banned from

00:37:22.300 Twitter we talked about

00:37:23.540 Dave Rubin being banned

00:37:25.660 from from Twitter I've

00:37:26.840 spoken out against both

00:37:27.960 of those as it so

00:37:29.300 happened last night I

00:37:32.340 had dinner with Jordan

00:37:33.980 Peterson and and I

00:37:35.360 asked him and he's still

00:37:36.240 banned and and Jordan

00:37:38.360 said look I will not

00:37:40.160 take down the tweet no

00:37:43.000 matter what and and I

00:37:45.600 did marvel over dinner I

00:37:46.980 said at least so far

00:37:48.000 Twitter hasn't banned me

00:37:49.000 they may they may try but

00:37:51.180 they haven't yet and and

00:37:52.340 so we'll cross that

00:37:54.280 bridge when we come to

00:37:55.340 it but but I'm not sure

00:37:59.700 how eager they are to do

00:38:00.820 it but we'll see I think

00:38:02.120 there will come a time

00:38:03.120 when when they try to

00:38:04.340 ban me but they haven't

00:38:05.140 done it yet I do think

00:38:06.900 your prudence is also

00:38:08.060 important you know we're

00:38:10.040 called to be innocent as

00:38:11.520 doves and wise as

00:38:12.760 serpents and so you do

00:38:14.420 want to be able to live to

00:38:15.560 fight another day you don't

00:38:16.580 want to do something that's

00:38:17.380 wrong or immoral or break

00:38:19.000 your principles but you

00:38:20.180 want to be able to live to

00:38:21.120 fight another day so one

00:38:22.100 one tangible way that you

00:38:23.740 can do this one real

00:38:24.340 practical way to do it is

00:38:26.100 when you look at why

00:38:27.200 Jordan was banned he was

00:38:28.240 banned because he referred

00:38:29.720 to the actress Ellen Page

00:38:31.140 as Ellen Page and he called

00:38:32.880 her she instead of he and

00:38:35.180 or by the male name that

00:38:37.080 she has now assumed

00:38:38.020 because she's saying that

00:38:39.000 she's a man and they said

00:38:40.480 that this is misgendering

00:38:41.640 her which is ironic because

00:38:43.440 he was just gendering her

00:38:45.200 the only people misgendering

00:38:46.300 her are the people who

00:38:47.040 are suggesting that she's

00:38:47.880 not a young lady who 0.52

00:38:49.260 we've seen in a bunch of

00:38:50.040 movies for years and years

00:38:51.120 now so how does one deal

00:38:53.140 with this you know this is

00:38:54.400 the same reason Dave was

00:38:55.280 was banned is because he

00:38:57.420 you he just posted what

00:38:58.940 Jordan posted and then they

00:39:00.380 took him down too how do

00:39:01.620 you get around this I don't

00:39:03.280 think that you should cave

00:39:05.420 and squish and call Ellen 1.00

00:39:08.480 Elliot and him and you know

00:39:10.480 go along with the Twitter

00:39:11.420 rules but does this mean

00:39:14.040 that therefore you need to

00:39:15.020 just go full steam ahead 0.53

00:39:17.300 kamikaze and nuke your 0.93

00:39:18.660 account I'm not sure that

00:39:19.880 you have to I mean I think

00:39:20.780 there are ways around this

00:39:21.760 one way well one way to do

00:39:23.620 it is you you write ELL and

00:39:26.200 put a couple of asterisks

00:39:27.560 afterward or you say you

00:39:28.820 know Ellen yay age pay or you 1.00

00:39:31.800 know she who must not be

00:39:32.660 named or something and you can

00:39:33.700 call attention to this insane

00:39:35.620 rule that effectively bans all

00:39:38.080 all disagreement with

00:39:40.140 transgenderism but but you're 0.96

00:39:42.160 still in the game you're still

00:39:43.320 there to fight another day

00:39:44.400 question from Ray this is

00:39:46.220 something I actually had meant

00:39:47.160 to get to and we didn't get

00:39:48.220 to it yet so I'm glad it came

00:39:49.820 up will President Biden's

00:39:52.140 executive order to protect

00:39:54.820 abortion rights and I saw the 0.97

00:39:56.340 headline I actually haven't

00:39:57.080 read very much about it will

00:39:58.440 that executive order to

00:39:59.340 protect abortion rights 0.53

00:40:00.200 nationwide have any power now

00:40:02.420 that Roe v Wade is overturned

00:40:04.160 I don't know is the short

00:40:07.680 answer the executive order there

00:40:10.200 wasn't a whole lot of detail

00:40:12.260 in it so we'll see what the

00:40:14.480 administration tries to do I

00:40:16.640 will say one of the interesting

00:40:17.820 things in the wake of the wake

00:40:22.240 of the Dobbs decision is the

00:40:26.300 radical left has gotten mad with

00:40:28.000 the Biden White House for not

00:40:29.600 being like super extreme and like

00:40:32.440 I don't even know what they're

00:40:33.680 supposed to do but you know

00:40:35.260 turning every post office in

00:40:36.640 America into a mobile abortion 0.93

00:40:40.420 hospital and we saw the White 0.95

00:40:44.920 House actually put out a

00:40:46.300 statement blasting the far left is

00:40:50.180 out of touch with America it was 0.73

00:40:51.660 really quite remarkable I don't do

00:40:54.520 hope whoever wrote that statement

00:40:56.040 watched the hearing today that

00:40:59.760 that Durbin and the Democrats put on

00:41:01.680 because they're you know that those

00:41:04.120 those Democrat witnesses were as

00:41:05.880 woke as you can get

00:41:06.880 yeah I something tells me that it

00:41:09.540 wouldn't play very well with nice

00:41:11.080 little old grandmothers you know

00:41:12.440 going to the post office ready

00:41:14.240 ready to go vote and it turns out

00:41:15.920 they've turned turn the post office

00:41:17.300 into an abortion mill or the

00:41:18.740 national parks or anything else like

00:41:20.500 that final question very important

00:41:22.220 one from Adam in our verdict plus

00:41:24.000 community Michael and Ted if you

00:41:26.440 could eat anything right now in the

00:41:28.440 whole world what would it be cheese

00:41:30.460 is my favorite food a quesadilla

00:41:32.460 like when I get home my sort of

00:41:35.260 comfort food at home if I get home

00:41:37.520 and I'm I'm hungry is is I'll take a

00:41:40.100 tortilla or two and just melt cheese

00:41:41.880 in it which just made me realize

00:41:44.560 holy crap Jill Biden is right I'm a

00:41:47.020 taco because that's that's what I 0.97

00:41:48.680 have is that I have a melted cheese

00:41:50.680 quesadilla no that is obviously it and

00:41:53.560 it is Tuesday senator it is taco

00:41:55.560 Tuesday I will not say that what I

00:41:57.840 would eat right now is a taco I think

00:41:59.400 that would be a direct threat against a

00:42:01.280 U.S. senator that would not be

00:42:03.120 acceptable at all so I'll I'll keep

00:42:05.780 mum and Michael I will give you you

00:42:08.340 need to answer the question from from

00:42:09.960 verdict plus but I will I will give a

00:42:11.860 shout out to my colleague Marco Rubio so

00:42:15.040 in response to the the taco speech I

00:42:19.440 said I was a chorizo egg and cheese

00:42:21.820 taco which was fine it was a decent

00:42:24.180 tweet but it wasn't fabulous Marco sent
