00:00:00.000 This is an iHeart Podcast.
00:00:02.320 Guaranteed human.
00:00:04.400 Raul helped build this organization
00:00:07.380 with the understanding that the diversity of this community,
00:00:13.420 as distinct as the Bogotá's of the Bronx,
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.
00:00:36.900 This episode of Verdict with Ted Cruz
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.
00:01:09.960 Call the only precious metal dealers that I trust,
00:01:13.060 American Hartford Gold.
00:01:14.400 They can show you how to hedge your hard-earned savings
00:01:16.860 against inflation by diversifying a portion of your portfolio
00:01:20.340 into physical gold and silver.
00:01:22.660 All it takes to get started is a short phone call,
00:01:25.300 and they'll have physical gold and silver shipped directly to your door
00:01:28.300 or perhaps into your IRA or 401k.
00:01:32.020 And they make it easy.
00:01:32.920 They're the highest rated firm in the business
00:01:34.380 with an A-plus rating from the Better Business Bureau
00:01:36.480 and thousands of satisfied clients.
00:01:38.780 And if you call them right now,
00:01:40.160 they will give you up to $1,500 of free silver
00:01:43.040 and a free safe on your first qualifying order.
00:01:46.020 So don't wait.
00:01:47.100 Call them now.
00:01:48.180 Call 855-768-1883.
00:01:51.720 That's 855-768-1883.
00:01:55.560 Or if you prefer text messaging,
00:01:57.380 you can text the word CACTUS to 65532.
00:02:01.540 Again, the phone number is 855-768-1883.
00:02:06.660 Or you can send the word CACTUS via text message to 65532.
00:02:11.420 You'll be glad you 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,
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.
00:02:55.200 Your tacos and the
00:02:57.160 Bogotas.
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.
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,
00:03:51.640 you're greasier
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
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,
00:04:24.720 are a spicy meatball.
00:04:26.080 Thank you.
00:04:26.640 Thank you, sir.
00:04:27.020 I may be a taco,
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
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
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
00:08:58.320 and they think
00:08:59.120 we are a bunch
00:09:00.160 of ignorant
00:09:01.860 I don't even know
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
00:10:14.220 to this ridiculous conference
00:10:15.440 and B. wrote
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
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
00:11:31.600 so you're not a lame duck
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
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
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
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
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
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
00:19:01.900 thing
00:19:02.240 so
00:19:03.200 I

00:19:09.560 letters
00:19:09.860 from
00:19:10.100 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
00:19:15.320 who's
00:19:15.640 sitting

00:20:24.980 Corny
00:20:25.420 starts
00:20:26.620 by
00:20:26.860 saying
00:20:27.240 that
00:20:27.420 her
00:20:27.600 testimony
00:20:28.120 says
00:20:28.860 that

00:20:29.760 Americans
00:20:30.480 have
00:20:31.560 abortions
00:20:32.180 at a
00:20:32.440 rate
00:20:32.660 three
00:20:32.980 times
00:20:33.380 or
00:20:33.520 four
00:20:33.780 times
00:20:34.160 greater
00:20:34.520 than
00:20:35.200 non-white
00:20:35.720 Americans
00:20:36.200 and he
00:20:37.380 asks her
00:20:37.940 is
00:20:38.140 that
00:20:38.740 a
00:20:38.920 good
00:20:39.120 thing
00:20:39.420 is
00:20:39.580 that
00:20:39.760 systemic
00:20:40.260 racism
00:20:40.840 and
00:20:41.460 she
00:20:41.820 won't
00:20:42.120 answer
00:20:42.600 whether
00:20:43.620 it's
00:20:43.900 a
00:20:44.020 good
00:20:44.240 thing
00:20:44.660 for
00:20:44.840 there
00:20:45.000 to

00:20:47.220 to
00:20:47.420 answer
00:20:47.620 that
00:20:47.920 so
00:20:49.320 then
00:20:49.680 Corny
00:20:50.080 goes
00:20:50.420 in
00:20:50.680 and
00:20:50.800 he
00:20:51.060 asked
00:20:51.580 a
00:20:51.760 very
00:20:51.920 simple
00:20:52.260 question
00:20:52.720 do
00:20:54.360 you
00:20:54.560 think
00:20:55.020 that
00:20:55.580 a
00:20:55.780 baby
00:20:56.160 that
00:20:56.500 is
00:20:56.840 delivered
00:20:57.520 alive
00:20:58.400 has
00:20:59.560 value
00:21:00.000 this
00:21:02.100 witness

00:21:03.000 silent
00:21:03.540 for

00:21:04.080 back
00:21:04.320 and
00:21:04.480 counted
00:21:04.760 it
00:21:05.000 one
00:21:06.160 second
00:21:06.560 two
00:21:07.700 seconds
00:21:08.300 three
00:21:09.280 seconds
00:21:09.900 four
00:21:10.840 seconds
00:21:11.500 and
00:21:13.160 finally
00:21:13.820 she
00:21:14.120 says
00:21:14.560 yes
00:21:16.080 I gotta
00:21:17.340 tell you
00:21:17.600 in the
00:21:17.780 room

00:21:18.200 four
00:21:18.520 seconds
00:21:18.860 were
00:21:19.080 a
00:21:19.240 long
00:21:19.500 time
00:21:19.720 the
00:21:19.880 question
00:21:20.280 was
00:21:20.640 do
00:21:21.140 you
00:21:21.300 think
00:21:21.740 a
00:21:22.540 baby
00:21:23.060 that
00:21:23.360 is
00:21:23.560 delivered
00:21:24.040 alive
00:21:25.300 has
00:21:26.120 value
00:21:26.500 so
00:21:26.720 Cornyn
00:21:27.180 goes
00:21:27.400 on
00:21:27.600 and
00:21:27.740 says
00:21:28.000 do
00:21:29.040 you
00:21:29.180 think
00:21:29.400 that

00:21:30.020 that
00:21:30.860 is

00:21:31.540 born
00:21:31.900 has
00:21:33.060 value
00:21:33.460 I
00:21:34.060 believe
00:21:34.360 that
00:21:34.560 a
00:21:34.740 person
00:21:35.180 with
00:21:35.520 a

00:21:36.840 value
00:21:37.320 they
00:21:37.820 have
00:21:38.020 intelligence

00:21:46.320 about
00:21:46.480 the
00:21:46.600 person
00:21:46.840 with
00:21:46.960 the
00:21:47.040 capacity
00:21:47.400 for
00:21:47.580 Senator
00:21:48.300 Cornyn
00:21:48.940 you're
00:21:50.080 not
00:21:50.320 answering
00:21:50.940 the
00:21:51.260 question
00:21:51.620 I'm
00:21:51.900 asking
00:21:52.280 Professor
00:21:53.780 Bridges
00:21:54.360 with
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
00:21:59.260 condescending
00:21:59.920 sneering
00:22:00.420 Cornyn
00:22:04.380 Cornyn
00:22:04.600 tries
00:22:04.880 again
00:22:05.400 do
00:22:06.660 you
00:22:06.800 think
00:22:07.240 that
00:22:07.900 a
00:22:08.060 baby
00:22:08.400 that
00:22:08.660 is
00:22:08.820 not
00:22:09.060 yet
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
00:22:15.100 think
00:22:15.380 that
00:22:15.800 baby
00:22:16.340 has
00:22:17.500 value
00:22:18.000 her
00:22:19.600 answer
00:22:20.000 I
00:22:20.820 think
00:22:20.980 that
00:22:21.120 the
00:22:21.240 person
00:22:21.480 with
00:22:21.620 the
00:22:21.700 capacity
00:22:22.040 for
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
00:22:36.720 is
00:22:37.100 unwilling
00:22:38.700 to
00:22:39.380 acknowledge
00:22:40.000 that
00:22:41.760 an
00:22:42.160 infant
00:22:42.880 in
00:22:45.860 a
00:22:46.020 mother's
00:22:46.460 womb
00:22:46.720 who
00:22:46.920 is
00:22:47.060 nine
00:22:47.360 months
00:22:47.640 pregnant
00:22:48.080 has
00:22:48.620 any
00:22:49.240 value
00:22:49.860 whatsoever
00:22:50.600 that
00:22:50.880 is
00:22:51.020 not
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
00:22:52.380 say
00:22:52.560 look
00:22:53.040 there
00:22:53.280 are
00:22:53.400 people
00:22:53.680 who
00:22:53.820 are
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
00:22:56.120 the
00:22:56.320 child
00:22:56.580 has
00:22:56.820 value
00:22:57.280 but
00:22:57.780 I
00:22:58.580 value
00:22:59.060 the
00:22:59.360 mother's
00:22:59.920 liberty
00:23:00.180 interest
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
00:23:05.660 to
00:23:06.020 articulate
00:23:06.700 to
00:23:07.320 acknowledge
00:23:08.360 one
00:23:09.960 iota
00:23:10.400 value
00:23:10.980 in
00:23:11.180 the
00:23:11.320 child
00:23:11.780 and
00:23:12.180 it
00:23:12.280 took
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
00:23:15.940 that's
00:23:16.240 been
00:23:16.440 born
00:23:16.820 has
00:23:17.160 value
00:23:17.660 well
00:23:17.880 she
00:23:17.980 wouldn't
00:23:18.200 even
00:23:18.340 acknowledge
00:23:18.760 the
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
00:23:24.120 asking
00:23:24.500 hey
00:23:24.800 Michael
00:23:26.120 babies
00:23:26.440 have
00:23:26.640 value
00:23:26.980 and
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
00:23:28.960 York
00:23:29.140 Yankees

00:23:29.760 value
00:23:30.180 say
00:23:30.780 okay
00:23:31.180 sure
00:23:31.620 that's
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
00:23:33.700 asking
00:23:33.960 you
00:23:34.200 and
00:23:35.100 did
00:23:35.280 you
00:23:35.420 notice
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
00:23:40.160 I
00:23:40.640 had
00:23:40.800 asked
00:23:41.260 my
00:23:41.560 questions
00:23:42.100 did
00:23:44.080 you
00:23:44.280 notice
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
00:23:48.820 any
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
00:23:51.900 today
00:23:56.120 Brown
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
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
00:24:34.340 many
00:24:37.420 women
00:24:37.840 cis
00:24:38.200 women
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
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
00:24:45.880 non
00:24:46.060 binary
00:24:46.340 people
00:24:46.720 who
00:24:46.880 are
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
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
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
00:25:38.040 are you having pregnancies
00:25:39.280 do you believe that men can get pregnant
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
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
00:27:07.040 holy crap
00:27:08.340 what an exchange
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
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
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
00:28:06.380 get pregnant
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
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
00:28:40.060 is your base
00:28:42.400 really that
00:28:43.340 moonbat
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
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
00:29:22.120 all killers
00:29:22.560 that's the way
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
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
00:29:32.000 of crazy ladies
00:29:33.520 like that
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
00:29:56.960 persons with the capacity
00:29:58.640 to become pregnant
00:29:59.520 just erasing women
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
00:30:25.560 these sexist conservatives
00:30:27.420 they're erasing women
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
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
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
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
00:31:09.420 they call us
00:31:10.060 people with
00:31:10.680 vaginas
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
00:31:19.060 genitalia
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
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
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
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
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
00:34:21.100 whole damn thing
00:34:22.020 again for the the
00:34:24.040 radical heresy of
00:34:26.160 saying women exist
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
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
00:35:17.000 so lousy is I screw
00:35:18.200 up the male and
00:35:18.940 female and all the
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
00:35:35.580 exist I mean it's
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
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
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
00:39:17.300 kamikaze and nuke your
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
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
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
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
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
00:40:40.420 hospital and we saw the White
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
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
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
00:42:28.280 sent out a picture of a taco and said
00:42:31.640 my new profile picture and I was like
00:42:34.800 all right that is funny that that was
00:42:37.540 props to best response I think I've seen
00:42:40.900 was Marco's response I guess I'll take
00:42:43.440 inspiration from your description of me
00:42:45.260 senator I probably would just go eat a
00:42:47.180 big fat meatball I'm with you I'm not a
00:42:49.200 sweets guy I'm a salty guy you know a
00:42:51.280 savory sort of guy really probably what I
00:42:53.320 would have is a delicious cigar I ate I
00:42:55.800 ate dinner already as well it's the end
00:42:58.120 of the night we've we've been unwinding
00:43:00.400 you have been working all day we have
00:43:02.840 to leave it there if you have not
