politics without the soap
0:02
opera with unfiltered constitutional
0:04
conservative truth the
0:07
conservative review And
0:10
welcome back fellow American patriots and
0:13
Minutemen standing at the ready to
0:15
focus on the issues that matter in
0:17
the way They matter at the time
0:19
they matter because I know you guys
0:21
have no time for nonsense distractions
0:24
grift You
0:26
want to have it given to you straight what's
0:29
going on? What are the biggest issues? What do
0:31
we do about it? Continuity
0:33
of ideas strategy follow-up. We do
0:35
it all here at Sierra podcast
0:38
every day, but certainly today Wednesday
0:40
March 27th and I
0:43
was gonna have a guest on today, but I'm
0:45
gonna push it off till tomorrow We're
0:48
gonna talk about the international
0:50
health regulations WHO Just
0:52
some more things on threats
0:54
to medical freedom Honestly,
0:56
there's so many things to cover. I don't
0:59
have enough minutes in the day It's
1:02
kind of hard to do the job of an
1:04
entire movement without a staff
1:07
But this is the problem we focus on
1:10
words not deeds We
1:12
focus on the latest distraction
1:15
Then we never even follow up on it then we
1:17
never even formulate ideas about it and we just go
1:20
on and on and on and Then
1:22
the more ineffective we are The
1:25
more crazy some of us get Act
1:28
out in a way that appears to be white
1:30
trash in front of the public. So then we
1:32
we lose even more elections Despite
1:34
the fact that broadly the public agrees with us
1:36
on the issues and rinse and repeat We're
1:40
in this vicious feedback loop of
1:42
failure failure electorally
1:44
failure on issues failure
1:48
failure on outcomes We
1:50
have a movement that Wheels
1:53
influence over what it doesn't have influence, but
1:55
then where it does it doesn't do anything
1:59
So the bill little bit all over the map today. I want
2:03
to talk about some stuff
2:05
going on in the courts. Continuing
2:08
our theme of the courts
2:10
being a one-way street, a one-way ratchet
2:13
against conservatives, including Republican
2:15
judges, particularly the three
2:18
Trump-appointed Supreme Court justices. And what do
2:20
we do about that? Because that's a
2:22
big problem. If the
2:24
left continues to violate civil liberties at a federal
2:26
level in the blue states and
2:28
we don't have recourse in the courts, but
2:31
then those same courts come after us when
2:33
we try to govern in red
2:35
states the few times we do, what
2:38
does that leave us? If
2:40
we believe in judicial supremacism, but
2:43
only a version that's a one-way ratchet, we'll
2:45
get into that. We
2:48
have the Francis Scott Key Bridge
2:50
being destroyed and 24 hours
2:53
later, I have no more news
2:56
for you, unless you guys have news. Literally
2:58
nothing. It's so weird. Just goes
3:01
into a black hole. It used to be it was one
3:03
or two day news cycles, now it's a couple hours. It
3:06
was done. Okay,
3:08
well what happened? What caused it? Do
3:12
we even have the name of the pilot and the crew? I
3:14
don't think we do. We
3:16
do know that the vessel was
3:19
involved in another major crash in
3:21
Antwerp, Belgium about eight years ago.
3:24
I don't know if it's
3:26
the same crew, but again,
3:28
was this cyber terrorism on
3:30
the navigation system? Was it
3:32
incompetence? And is incompetence
3:34
now endemic of operators of major infrastructure?
3:37
I don't know. I mean, it's not
3:39
a loaded question, but we literally don't
3:41
even have anything. It's just got pigeonholed.
3:43
Okay, so we just move on like
3:46
we move on from COVID. We move
3:48
on from Hawaii. We move
3:50
on from the Vegas shooting. And
3:53
again, what that does is because you don't
3:55
have same questions being asked, some people have
3:57
all sorts of crazy theories and gets discredited.
4:00
and then people don't like the right so they
4:02
don't care even more because that's
4:04
kind of what a strawman opposition is. You
4:09
know, Chris
4:11
Rufo said something very
4:13
interesting on Twitter that's important
4:15
to bring to the forefront. And
4:18
Chris is one of the few people we
4:21
have that are serious doers. He's
4:24
very much responsible for a lot
4:26
of the education policies for
4:28
DeSantis. He doesn't work directly for him or
4:31
set the Manhattan Institute, but he's
4:33
really been leading the charge to get
4:36
the rot cut out of public
4:38
education. So he's
4:40
not just some guy giving an opinion. He's
4:42
actually on the playing field doing things. There's
4:46
very few people I could say that about. He
4:49
made the following observation. We
4:53
have a problem on the right. The
4:56
economics of online discourse are
4:58
increasingly at odds with
5:01
forming and mobilizing a
5:03
successful political movement. How
5:08
cogent, cogent, sagacious
5:10
statement. Very, very cogent.
5:13
The economics
5:15
of online discourse are
5:17
increasingly at odds with forming and mobilizing a
5:20
successful political movement. Now, Chris
5:22
is not saying, oh, I'm sick of
5:24
these online crazies, white trash. I
5:26
want to just be a normie GOP. No.
5:29
I mean, Chris is like me that broadly speaking,
5:31
I don't know about some of the specific theories on
5:33
certain specific issues, but generally speaking, I mean, this is
5:35
the rise of the fourth Reich. We
5:39
have very serious problems affecting
5:41
every aspect of our life,
5:43
liberty, property, society, culture, health,
5:48
viability of the society, ability
5:52
to afford living, demographics, invasion,
5:54
the political
5:56
persecutions. So we need
5:58
a serious— successful
6:02
formulation and mobilization of
6:05
a political movement. And
6:07
we're trying to do this every day. Yesterday
6:10
we had Adam Morgan on. One
6:12
of our best Freedom Caucus guys, Chairman of
6:14
the South Carolina Freedom Caucus, running for Congress.
6:17
Think about how articulate he was. He's
6:21
more red-pilled than any Trump-Maga guy.
6:24
He actually gets it done. He
6:26
actually has turned South Carolina politics upside
6:29
down with what he's done there. But
6:33
does he come across to your normie suburban
6:35
voter as white trash? Not at all. That's
6:38
what we need. Look,
6:42
we're already in a situation where
6:44
we're treading on thin ice. We're
6:47
coming decades into a fake
6:50
opposition, so therefore Democrats have
6:52
successfully implemented immigration policies, education
6:54
policies, welfare and healthcare
6:56
policies that have created dependency that
6:59
have really made it very hard for any
7:03
conservative to win. So
7:07
it's going to be narrow no
7:09
matter what it is. We're done with the days of 1980,
7:11
84, 88 style wins. But
7:17
my gosh, you
7:19
don't come in front of people just stupid. Another
7:25
interesting observation he made, he
7:28
starts talking about Tucker and how
7:30
important Tucker was as kind of the leader
7:32
of conservative media, and
7:34
basically gently notes what we have noted
7:37
for a while, that he circled the
7:39
drain, went downhill when he went to
7:41
Twitter from Fox rather than getting better.
7:46
For those wondering, there
7:48
is a structural as well as
7:50
an ideological challenge for Tucker on
7:52
X Twitter. The prime time
7:54
Fox spot was his previous
7:57
job was regular, time-downed and
7:59
coordinated. the whole movement offline
8:01
and online with the prestige and production of
8:03
the cable news network behind it. Tucker on
8:05
X is too fragmented, lacks the nightly rhythm,
8:08
and the topics have been all over the place
8:10
with some serious missteps. I say this is a
8:12
huge admirer of Tucker's and hope that he continues
8:15
to experiment with the format and pick up his
8:17
role as a coordinator and kingmaker on the right.
8:19
He's trying to be gentle, as you can tell.
8:21
But it's just, it's just crap. There's
8:24
no follow-up, there's no continuity of
8:26
strategy, there's no focusing on the
8:28
issues when we actually have votes
8:30
coming up, actually have primaries. Nobody
8:32
has matched what we have done
8:34
here so far. Matching
8:37
the intensity of trying to find ways
8:39
to focus on specific primaries, to focus
8:42
on systemic solutions for how to win
8:44
primaries like changing party rules
8:46
to state conventions, focusing
8:48
on the legislative sessions, bolstering the
8:50
Freedom Caucus, I
8:54
mean, think about it. The Freedom Caucus
8:56
by a mile is the most successful
8:58
institution we have in the
9:00
states. Why am I the
9:02
biggest cheerleader in the country of that? Why
9:06
isn't Tucker promoting that? Again,
9:09
the economics of
9:12
online discourse are at odds with
9:14
forming and mobilizing the successful political
9:17
movement. I
9:20
can't tell you how much time I have spent. I'm
9:24
rushing into this show with that clear mind.
9:26
I usually like to clear my
9:28
mind before I give over stuff to you. I've
9:30
just been focused on so many disparate issues, trying
9:33
to follow up on every one of
9:36
our beats, on immigration, on the states,
9:38
on the primaries, on judicial supremacism, court
9:40
cases. And again,
9:42
all with a forward-looking mindset of what we
9:44
need to do about it, not just, hey, this
9:46
is a nice story or this is something that's
9:48
catchy and this is something good to report on.
9:52
I've never had this many Windows and
9:54
Word documents out open in front
9:56
of me, flown up
9:59
my computer. And
10:02
I'm just I'm just struggling. I don't know
10:04
what we do. There's a lot we can
10:06
do if we had a movement But
10:09
we don't So
10:12
we keep getting the same results By
10:18
the way a lot of people are talking about RFK's
10:21
VP pick it's irrelevant Notice
10:24
I haven't talked much about him this entire
10:27
year. I never trusted the guy Look
10:30
if someone's frustrated with the two choices that they
10:32
want a third party just just for the sake
10:34
of it I respect that
10:36
I'm just telling you He
10:40
could have been that guy Ross Perot on steroids,
10:43
but like everyone else he gets
10:45
caught the caught up in the razzle dazzle You
10:47
just want to be like everyone else like the
10:49
Israelites and judges God says you're gonna be a
10:51
different sort of country a different sort of civilization
10:53
and they come back and like no No, no,
10:55
we want to be like all the other nations
10:58
have a king. We don't want You
11:01
know a Samuel an
11:03
inspirational leader That's
11:07
a decentralized Republic under
11:10
you know the auspices of following the
11:13
commandments of God we want a king
11:16
Want to be like everyone else so it's like everyone
11:18
gets they get gunshot. Oh, I'm gonna be there Oh,
11:20
actually, I'll just nominate a
11:22
leftist with money to be
11:24
my VP And notice
11:26
he hasn't really led on much I
11:30
Said this at the time when people in the medical freedom movement
11:32
a lot of the doctors we had on the show were getting
11:34
roped In with him I said look It's
11:37
not just on other issues that the Santas would
11:39
have been better than RFK because they were sucking
11:41
all the oxygen out focusing on RFK I said
11:43
even on Covid on
11:46
vaccines The Santas
11:48
will deliver much more and that was
11:50
RFK signature issue for many years because
11:53
there's no Shortcut
11:55
to someone actually standing in the
11:57
breach getting in that position and
12:02
Following through I don't think you understand
12:04
how hard that is the pressures
12:08
To focus on the razzle dazzle and do
12:10
it the way everyone else does it It
12:14
is so great In
12:17
a vacuum There's nothing so
12:19
great about the same this is governor ship
12:22
or it shouldn't be but it is I Can't
12:26
find anyone else coming close And
12:30
by the way speaking of a narrow
12:32
path, I mean I must say
12:36
What he's done electorally in Florida is pretty
12:38
remarkable alongside what he's
12:40
done policy wise You
12:43
know today is me signing the first bill to
12:46
protect landowners Homeowners
12:48
from adverse possession your squatter's
12:50
rights Every
12:53
day there's something else there And
12:58
Yet in his he's in his
13:00
sixth year there There
13:02
is no movement to try to match that With
13:06
another governor We
13:09
just continue going on and on Nothing
13:16
By the way the RFK VP pick is all
13:18
the more proof that the state Freedom caucuses are
13:20
the only thing we have There's
13:23
such desperation for mainstream acceptance that once you
13:26
get into a position of authority Or
13:29
influence you just can't actually make the play that you
13:32
always talked about There's something
13:34
that's standing on that field They
13:36
just act the way everyone else does That's
13:41
why the Freedom caucus is so important because they're upending
13:43
the way we do business and they don't care And
13:49
that's what we need to celebrate Again
13:52
I have this all the time in primaries Where
13:55
we'll have candidates and there's no rap sheet on
13:57
the guy. It's not like I could point to
14:00
you know, either, let's say he was
14:03
in the legislature or maybe he never was,
14:05
didn't have a record. Yeah, it's not like
14:07
he said or did anything bad on guns
14:09
or taxes or whatever, or, you know, he
14:11
seems to be a decent Republican in good
14:13
standing, and people are like, well, well, Daniel,
14:15
what's wrong? He's not good for you either?
14:17
Like, he might be decent if we had
14:19
good leadership, but if you want to upend
14:21
the system, he's not gonna do it. Again,
14:26
we had this in Ohio, I talked about some of these
14:28
races, people are like, oh, these guys seem good. I was
14:30
like, okay, did they pledge to join the Freedom Caucus? No.
14:33
Did they get money from the CLS? Yes. So,
14:36
you know, I can't find
14:38
anything bad they've done or said so far, but
14:40
you send them to Washington, they're not gonna be
14:42
with our guys to
14:46
upend the system. So, it's empty
14:48
calories. It's worthless. If you
14:50
have a guy running that you know
14:52
will do that, I
14:54
mean, that makes a big difference. Remember,
14:57
headed forward with
14:59
this red-pilled rhetoric, again, rhetoric,
15:01
rhetoric, rhetoric, increasingly,
15:06
you're gonna have very few
15:08
Republicans like Lisa Murkowski or
15:11
Mitt Romney that openly run on
15:13
them, although I would argue that
15:15
they are the Mitt Romneys of
15:17
2024. Remember, everyone's a big hero
15:19
now, like I say many, many
15:21
times on Mitch McConnell, but
15:23
at the time when I was challenging him
15:26
in 2010, 2012, 2014, that era,
15:29
people looked at me like I was from Mars,
15:31
like, what? I mean, I understand we have Lincoln
15:33
Chafee, we have Lisa Murkowski, we have Susan Collins,
15:36
but he's a good, you know, strong Republican, like,
15:38
what's your issue with him? People
15:42
didn't understand that. If
15:47
you're not actively putting
15:50
the people in who
15:53
will actively do things to
15:55
change the trajectory, we
15:58
are like Flight 93. where
16:01
you're going down. If you
16:03
don't get someone in there to grab
16:06
the yoke and get it up, you
16:08
know, everything else
16:11
is the same result. You could
16:13
either do nothing or get someone
16:15
in there who doesn't know what he's doing, get
16:17
someone in there to yank it down even more, sideways,
16:20
upside down, in and out, do
16:22
whatever, but
16:24
there's only one thing that's gonna work, and
16:28
it's finding some areas of
16:30
the country to get the right people in
16:32
to make the right place, and that requires
16:34
a movement to have
16:37
the proper focus.
16:39
You know, what are
16:41
the policies we want to do? What
16:43
are the strategies we want to implement?
16:45
Then electorally and legislatively, legally, culturally
16:48
sometimes, and follow
16:50
up, follow up, continuity.
16:56
Otherwise, we're just gonna continue spinning
16:58
our wheels. So
17:01
again, I mean on the on the Key Bridge, even
17:04
here locally, you
17:07
know, they talk about the logistics, the ramifications
17:10
of the bridge being
17:12
down, but what exactly happened with
17:14
that ship? Who
17:16
are they? Who's the pilot? Again, as
17:18
of 24 hours later, as of
17:20
right now, maybe it changed by the
17:23
time you hear this, the
17:26
only thing I could find is the
17:28
story which is very disquieting, that this
17:30
same cargo ship was involved in an
17:32
accident eight years ago. You
17:37
know, we have some very serious
17:39
issues. Again,
17:43
a lot of this is still speculation. It
17:46
could be this was a total freak accident
17:49
in the mechanical maintenance of the ship,
17:51
and it's no one's fault, and it
17:53
just happened to come in at
17:56
the worst time to work with. I'm not
17:58
being sarcastic. That does happen. You
18:00
know the last time was like 44 years ago and the
18:03
Tampa Bay causeway with the Sunshine
18:06
causeway But
18:08
the devastation wasn't nearly as bad because that
18:10
was just a random place in Tampa This
18:13
is like a major artery on I-95
18:16
going to a port So
18:22
You know we ought to know what's what's
18:24
behind this And
18:28
Speaking of Florida, that's
18:30
why competence is so important You
18:34
know to say this is conservative he's right-wing
18:36
he's based he's whatever but He's
18:39
also competent and and that's something we
18:42
do need There's a
18:44
lot of serious questions That
18:47
we have a bunch of boobs The
18:50
I hires are just a bunch of idiots in general
18:52
We have a mentally ill drugged up
18:55
society then we have all these foreigners we bring in We
18:57
don't know where they come from Who
19:00
knows who is running our critical
19:02
infrastructure these are things to think about
19:04
again I'm not making any accusations because we
19:06
don't know anything we see a ship hit
19:08
the bridge. That's all I know You
19:13
know it likely wasn't terrorists on
19:15
board. I mean, I think we would have known that
19:17
by now It
19:19
wasn't blown up. I mean it was strong enough to
19:21
knock it over I think you know see some people
19:23
like Allah, you know, how could it knock it over?
19:26
I was wondering at first too, but it's pretty clear
19:28
once you see how much weight that ship was and
19:30
where it hit You know everyone
19:32
I spoke to my dad. Um ironically He's
19:35
a mechanical engineer who worked at Bethlehem
19:38
Steel Which was the main thing on
19:40
the other side of that bridge and
19:42
sparrows point in the 80s when I was a kid he
19:46
didn't work on the bridge in the 70s and I'm gonna do with
19:48
that, but um he's very
19:50
familiar with that sort of stuff and You
19:53
know made it very clear that obviously it you know,
19:55
it didn't bother him He was
19:57
actually bothered by the surfside building Incidentally,
20:00
how that came down bothered him, but
20:02
not this bridge, the way the ship hit it.
20:06
But again, I mean it – the lights
20:08
went out twice, power went out twice, and
20:11
the ship steered in that way. Was
20:15
this a cyberattack? If not – I mean we
20:17
don't have the proof it wasn't or was. We
20:20
can't trust our government anymore, and I understand why people
20:22
have all these theories because they've lied
20:24
to us with mass
20:26
genocide. They've forgot about
20:28
the vaccines, even the virus itself. To
20:30
this day, to this day, we
20:34
have not gotten to the bottom of that. We
20:36
know it was man-made. We know
20:38
they're made – and we know they have
20:40
all these other bio-labs that they're making viruses.
20:43
There's no effort to stop it. You know
20:45
what I'm saying? Like, for the fact that the
20:47
vaccines is a little bit tough because you're not allowed
20:50
to even recognize the problem. But the virus, you know,
20:52
we're told the virus is the worst thing in the
20:54
world, right? Everyone knows
20:56
about that. It shut down the world. It was
20:58
the worst event in world history. And
21:01
yet we've not rectified it. It's continuing. We're
21:04
funding it. Because
21:06
when you have an ineffective
21:08
movement that's distracted, stupid, gets
21:11
too extreme and conspiratorily too quickly beyond the
21:14
Overton window sometimes but doesn't do what we
21:16
can do, focus on what we can't –
21:18
it's just all over the place. So
21:21
the common denominator is the left
21:24
continues doing their stuff, and
21:27
we continue to suffer from all
21:30
the downstream effects of bad public
21:33
policy without any
21:35
redress. This is
21:37
going to continue. You
21:41
know, last night, the Democrats
21:44
flipped – this
21:46
is very important. Democrats
21:49
flipped a legislative seat.
21:51
It was an open seat, but it
21:54
was a Republican seat in Huntsville, Alabama. And
21:57
I've noted before that – It's
22:00
not like, okay, we're losing the blue areas.
22:03
We're losing the cities and even suburbs
22:05
of cities in red states, and I
22:07
don't mean like Dallas, Houston
22:10
size, but Huntsville, Alabama, Birmingham,
22:12
Alabama. I mean, obviously,
22:14
the inner city of some of these places
22:16
are very black, but I mean even the
22:19
surrounding white areas, we're losing. Trump
22:22
only carried it by one point,
22:25
this district. Republicans
22:28
usually carried the – I think
22:30
last time they maybe carried the legislative
22:32
seat by like nine. They lost
22:34
it by almost 30 points last night.
22:36
You know that? Now,
22:39
a lot of people are saying the I.V.S. issue
22:42
loomed large because of the Alabama court
22:44
ruling. And
22:47
yeah, I mean I'm not going to lie to you.
22:49
I mean those who think that's important, I respect their
22:51
pro-life view, but it is kind
22:53
of stupid if that's going to be your
22:55
lead issue. It's not going to
22:58
win very electorally. I just don't think it's
23:00
wise to lose everything else on that. But
23:07
in general, it's
23:09
part of an uninterrupted
23:11
chain of special elections
23:15
that clearly demonstrate a bad environment
23:17
for Republicans, not a good one.
23:21
And again, like we've said, even the media
23:23
is now picking it up. The pendulum has
23:25
swung back, but the polls, the polls show
23:27
Biden winning. So
23:30
what are we going to do about that? What
23:33
are we going to do? We're
23:36
now going to lose the power structure
23:38
of mid-sized cities and suburbs and red
23:40
states. I mean
23:43
that's what's going to happen if we
23:45
continue with this do nothing, accomplish nothing,
23:47
have no narrative, the few issues we
23:49
glum onto, we get distracted, don't follow
23:51
up, don't pick a fight that's
23:53
going to harness national attention either with a federal budget
23:55
fight or a multiplicity of – or a multiplicity of
23:58
red states doing – action
24:00
and just
24:04
focus on Trump's white trash comments
24:06
incoherent nonsense every day, allow
24:09
Trump to endorse every piece of
24:11
crap, but then endorse against the
24:14
santis candidates that are ten times
24:16
better. Are
24:20
we really going to continue this? And
24:24
that leads me to really kind
24:27
of the main topic today, the
24:29
courts. We've talked about
24:31
this a lot the last couple weeks. There's yet
24:33
more important news in the courts that
24:36
Trump's three picks were imbeciles.
24:39
And I don't say this to even beat up on Trump. It's
24:42
not really the point. The point is what do
24:44
we do about it? Don't lie to ourselves, oh
24:46
we overconfolve those, well, no, no, no. We have
24:48
a big problem in the court. I now have
24:51
several dozen examples
24:53
of hypocrisy, particularly
24:56
those three judges to varying
24:58
degrees, where they are now
25:01
allowing the feds and blue
25:03
states to do egregiously unlawful
25:05
things without the Supreme
25:07
Court interfering. But then when
25:10
it comes to red states
25:12
doing good things, they interfere
25:14
with alacrity and they contradict
25:17
themselves with values of, you
25:19
know, procedurally standing, circuit splits,
25:21
or just in terms of
25:24
the contours of state powers versus
25:26
individual rights, upside down, inside out.
25:30
With COVID, they're not there for individual rights,
25:32
but somehow when it comes to drag shows,
25:34
they are. And the trainee
25:36
stuff. And
25:41
of course, illegal immigration. So
25:44
late last night, the Fifth
25:47
Circuit officially formally denied
25:49
Texas request to put SB
25:51
4 back into effect.
25:53
As we predicted, the Supreme
25:56
Court pressured them. So now, basically
25:58
the Fifth Circuit's taking their cues on the
26:00
Supreme Court. So
26:04
we now await a merits argument
26:08
next Wednesday, and it
26:14
looks like they will likely appeal Texas
26:16
will seek review in Bonk. So
26:19
hopefully in Bonk works better. It's not
26:21
such a great panel they
26:25
got here, but this
26:28
ruling is a very bitter
26:31
pill because this
26:33
ruling, like I said, was inspired by
26:35
Amy Barrett's concurrence where they
26:37
did a rope of adobe officially. They
26:39
allowed us before to go into effect,
26:42
but in fact what they did was
26:44
signal to the Fifth Circuit, we're not
26:46
gonna lock it up. We're not gonna
26:49
keep the injunction, but we'd like you to do it.
26:52
That's basically what they said. That's
26:54
what Amy Barrett and Kavanaugh did. Well
26:58
fast forward on that very same day,
27:00
we had
27:02
oral arguments in this Mifepristone
27:05
chemical abortion drug case,
27:09
and what
27:13
it demonstrates is this gross
27:15
hypocrisy of judges
27:17
like Kavanaugh and Barrett on
27:19
how they are working overtime
27:22
to ensure that
27:24
we don't get conservative victories
27:26
politically when it intersects with
27:28
the courts. But then,
27:31
meaning they're taking this basic approach basically like
27:33
this, when we come crying
27:35
to the courts because we're aggrieved, they're like
27:38
shut up, you don't have standing, we're not
27:40
some sort of super legislature, take that up
27:43
with the political branches. Well, alright,
27:45
you know, as you well know, those of you
27:47
have listened to me read my book, I'm very
27:49
sympathetic to that argument if we actually applied it
27:52
evenly. But no, because
27:54
you see anything we want to do in
27:56
a red state gets taken down
27:58
like we see with SB4. So
28:04
the problem here is you have
28:06
to diagnose what
28:08
is going on in the courts, and
28:11
then I've noted this before,
28:13
but I'm going to reiterate today, it
28:15
informs a very clear solution of what
28:17
we need to do about it. But
28:21
if you continue to go on and say,
28:23
it's terrible that Democrats are
28:25
delegitimizing at that point, no,
28:27
join in with them. They
28:30
pressure the courts, we should do the
28:32
other way, delegitimize them. They
28:35
respond to pressure. So
28:39
– and again, I just want to
28:41
– before we get into the minutiae of this
28:43
case of
28:48
Alliance Hippocratic Medicine, VFDA,
28:50
Texas case on this
28:53
mifepristone abortion drug, but
28:56
just understand the vitality of this issue. We
29:00
cannot move on until we come
29:02
up with a strategy to deal with this. What
29:05
is our goal? What is the only thing we
29:07
can do that we established yesterday and almost every
29:09
day we talk about in some form? Is
29:13
to take the reddest states in America,
29:15
elect Freedom Caucus guys to the legislature
29:17
and governor, and interpose
29:19
against federal tyranny, build
29:22
almost a parallel economy, currency, freedom,
29:24
all of it. Okay?
29:27
Demographically, deal with illegal immigration. Obviously,
29:29
it's one of the top things
29:31
we need to do. They're everywhere,
29:33
by the way, everywhere. Lots
29:38
of news about them flooding states like
29:40
Tennessee, red areas too
29:42
that you wouldn't think. So
29:46
we need to deal with it. But
29:48
unless we change our strategy in dealing
29:50
with the courts and get more aggressive,
29:54
even rhetorically – yes, rhetorically –
29:57
talking down Republican judges,
30:03
Everything, every single thing that you and I want
30:05
to do, it's not going to
30:07
be easy to get elected on people to do
30:09
it, but we claw and scrape and rock
30:12
climb that cliff. You
30:14
get on the bottom, you finally get to the
30:16
top, you know what's going to be waiting for you? The
30:20
judicial oligarch to shove you off that mountain
30:23
and make all the work we did
30:25
terrible. I'll
30:28
never forget when I had
30:30
a friend of mine who was a big activist in North Carolina
30:32
during the Tea Party era and she
30:34
was in tears when we spoke about
30:36
the courts screwing with their
30:40
voter ID law and she was like, we
30:42
worked years for that, all
30:44
for nothing, for a freaking lie to
30:46
create some sort of fundamental
30:49
right to vote without
30:51
a photo ID. I mean,
30:53
it's just so absurd. Never
30:57
forget the
31:00
same philosophy that
31:04
we have that
31:06
we'd be stupid to expend our
31:08
energy as a conservative media organization
31:10
movement pressuring Democrats and
31:13
the media rather than pressuring
31:15
Republicans who want to be
31:17
in good standing with conservatives.
31:22
The same holds true about Republican
31:25
judges. Okay, let's dispense with
31:27
this notion that there's some sort of
31:29
like machines behind some
31:32
bench that is unapproachable.
31:34
They go to events like everyone
31:37
else, they're human beings
31:39
like everyone else, they talk to
31:41
people like everyone else. Okay,
31:44
let's make it very clear.
31:48
How come the courts gave
31:50
us what is
31:52
considered a very bold ruling on
31:55
affirmative action and abortion?
31:58
When I say very bold, I mean... I mean like overturning
32:01
a half a century of precedent. It's
32:04
pretty bold. Yet they
32:07
won't even overturn some relatively
32:09
recent new things that are
32:11
even more egregious, or sometimes they'll even,
32:14
like we talk about a lot, passively
32:16
expand upon them by allowing bad lower
32:18
court rulings to stand, or sometimes themselves,
32:20
contributing to it. Let
32:24
me give you a classic example. What
32:28
is more egregious from
32:31
a legal, historical, and
32:33
constitutional standpoint? A
32:36
right to abortion or a right to
32:38
gay marriage? It's
32:40
obviously a right to gay marriage, because abortion at the end of
32:42
the day is a little bit of a negative right, because
32:45
they're asserting it's part of my body, and
32:48
I just don't want to be criminalized
32:50
for having an abortion. Whereas
32:54
with gay
32:56
marriage, it's like you're saying a state
33:02
has to redefine a
33:06
fixed institution to give
33:08
you something that is exclusively a state
33:10
benefit. You're the one, you're not saying,
33:12
look, just leave me alone, don't, don't,
33:14
see, with abortion, the state wants to
33:16
criminalize it. Here, you're the one asking
33:18
for a status. Meaning
33:20
the equivalent would be more of like
33:22
an anti-sodomy law. We're
33:25
not talking about that. You could go
33:27
have sodomy all you want. It's
33:29
just you're saying you want a state
33:31
benefit that doesn't exist when
33:34
two years prior to Obergerfeld and Windsor, Kennedy
33:36
himself said states have full authority since their
33:38
founding. What's more
33:41
deeply rooted in history and tradition? Gay
33:43
marriage or abortion? Abortion
33:46
for sure. You
33:49
know, it was illegal in the 1800s, but for the 1900s,
33:51
they really started to do it. Gay marriage
33:53
was unheard of until 2000. Yet
33:58
in Dobbs, they established a deep... rooted in
34:00
history and tradition, or reaffirmed
34:03
that litmus
34:05
test, that standard for
34:07
creating an unenumerated right, that
34:09
subjects strict scrutiny for a
34:11
state to to regulate, and
34:15
yet notice everyone agrees you
34:18
would likely only have Alito and
34:20
Thomas to overturn Obergefell. Why? Because
34:22
it has nothing to do with
34:24
the raw legalities. It's all political.
34:27
We have created on the right
34:30
a political movement that
34:32
at least if you're a Republican judge in
34:34
good standing, there's something for them to latch
34:36
onto. Affirmed as action
34:39
and abortion. Some other
34:42
things. Gay marriage? Pfft.
34:46
Where do you ever hear on the right anyone pushing for that?
34:51
Commensurate with how much
34:53
you pressure judges. And
34:55
when I say pressure, I mean all of
34:57
it. Conservative media, writing about it, naming them,
34:59
naming these judges who
35:02
screw us. They don't want that. And
35:06
then again, governors getting
35:08
together and delegitimizing, say a
35:10
court has no authority, court has no authority over this.
35:13
And making it clear that you might not listen. You
35:16
can always back down and give in. But
35:18
what I'm trying to tell you is, if
35:21
you do all this, delegitimize judicial supremacy
35:24
and all this, they will back off. But
35:27
anyway, I kind of
35:29
got to my solution before the problem. But
35:32
what happened yesterday in oral arguments
35:34
in Alliance Hippocratic Medicine vFDA. So
35:39
on the merits, there's no doubt that
35:41
the FDA is a proven approval of mifrapristone
35:45
in 2000, and its subsequent
35:48
expansions in 2016, 2021 were all unlawful. Okay?
35:54
So again, it's not just because, oh, we
35:57
don't like abortion. Now we don't. But legally,
35:59
there's a bunch of Texas doctors,
36:01
Alliance for Through
36:19
the wrong process. They might have been
36:21
able to use another process, but they used what was called Subpart
36:25
H, so the section of law for
36:28
FDA authority But
36:30
that approval is only reserved for a
36:33
drug that treats serious or life-threatening illness
36:36
Meaning it was what do you think it
36:38
means like cancer right that that's what that
36:40
kind of short circuit process now This is
36:42
a very important case. You know look.
36:45
I'm actually a little bit. You know a pariah on
36:47
the right in the sense that I I
36:51
think we need to focus on some other issues
36:53
like is our lead cause more than abortion But
36:56
this is the point of this is not about abortion
37:00
the point of this is The
37:03
hypocrisy of the Republican
37:06
judges on Outcomes on
37:08
rules of standing and also
37:10
on FDA authorities. That's very
37:12
important on on deference
37:15
to the experts a lot
37:17
of important things to unpack in
37:19
these oral arguments I'm just gonna give you just a
37:21
brief synopsis So
37:23
anyway this drug was you
37:25
know to treat serious illness, and I'll be
37:28
like well What illness the
37:30
only way to have approved an abortion drug is to
37:32
say that a pregnancy is an illness?
37:35
And that's absurd in fact. It's so absurd
37:37
that judge hoe Just Jim
37:39
hoe who is one of the fifth
37:41
circuit judges who you know
37:44
rolled to strike down That's
37:46
the approval of this drug He
37:49
noted that population council which was the
37:51
entity that sought approval in 2000 They
37:54
actually protested the government using this
37:56
process because they said quote neither
37:58
pregnancy nor unwanted pregnancy is an
38:00
illness, and therefore they were concerned
38:02
that the courts would strike it down. That's irony,
38:05
and these idiots refused to do it. And
38:08
then what happened was in 2016 and 2021, so
38:12
originally they approved this and said, look, we're
38:14
going to have adverse event reporting. Same thing
38:17
as COVID, by the way, is the COVID
38:19
shots. You're going to have to have a
38:21
doctor's visit, all these gestational limits
38:23
of when you can use it. Subsequently,
38:26
2016, 2021, they took that
38:28
all off. You could use it any stage, mail
38:31
in without seeing a doctor in person,
38:33
all this stuff. Remember,
38:37
it's also important to understand that we're
38:39
always fighting yesterday's issue. So they give
38:41
us a dobs, but
38:43
now most abortions are going to be chemical
38:45
drug abortions. This is
38:47
– if that is your big issue, which
38:49
is not my top issue, just for a
38:51
variety of philosophical reasons, I'm
38:54
just like, they're killing us, so
38:56
I'm going to spend my capital
38:58
protecting myself. I know this sounds
39:00
horrible, but I'm almost at the point of like, just
39:03
kill your own people, leave me alone. If that's
39:06
going to be such a political liability relative
39:08
to everything else – again, that's a long
39:10
conversation. My point is that
39:12
if abortion
39:15
is your issue, if the
39:17
court rules against us on this, this is a big problem,
39:21
because dobs is going to increasingly become
39:23
moot. And
39:26
that's a whole other thing that even when we get a
39:28
good ruling, notice how they don't police it. Now,
39:31
this is a little bit different,
39:33
but remember, we talked about that
39:35
Virginia case with affirmative
39:37
action that they're making an end round
39:39
around having admission standards to schools based
39:41
on race. They just don't call it
39:44
race, and the Supreme Court
39:46
refused to grant the appeal from the students.
39:49
So these judges are
39:51
pathetic. But
39:53
the reason is, they only get pressure from one end Of
39:57
the political debate. And make no mistake, it's
39:59
all political. It all political.
40:03
So anyway, I'm. In.
40:06
His early it took. Twenty three years.
40:08
April seven twenty twenty three at the
40:10
be a surprise Doctors. A
40:13
Federal District Judge Matthew. Ah
40:15
to the merits of the Northern
40:17
District of Texas. I'm ruled that
40:19
the entire as the approval was
40:21
unlawful. Again, it's as as
40:23
politically we don't like abortion. This.
40:26
Is an important if you believe
40:28
in judicial oversight. Of
40:31
exacted agencies. Setting
40:33
Outside of that story, Downs is very
40:35
legitimate for a quarter roulette. Those.
40:38
Do with what you like. Abortion or not. Not
40:40
easy. The plaintiffs didn't like abortion, but that's
40:43
immaterial to the ruling. Because
40:46
it did, this is a lot of bearings
40:48
on a lot of issues that we're dealing
40:50
with. like like the covert shots and I
40:52
know on I can our friends that bit.
40:55
Dell built Big Three has another lawsuit. On
40:58
at the approval of us decongestant
41:00
drug some wholly different step. the
41:02
site. Cool vid. As an
41:04
example as a present for using animal
41:06
trials and it's a big problem. You
41:09
know lot of us believe deregulation, but remember
41:11
we have regulatory capture. This.
41:14
A very important point in Central I would
41:16
rather does all things the private sector but
41:18
we have a very strong as the A
41:20
when they want to be strong so it's
41:22
regulatory capture. We don't have the ability to
41:24
police safety of products to the Se as
41:26
a monopoly on it's so we rely on
41:28
them since A very big problems when as
41:30
the A now green lights dangerous products and
41:32
we have no way around that. says.
41:36
That abortion. Yossi. If you're listening
41:38
and you're like a big abortion
41:40
during, just understand that these are
41:42
cities You That means Democrats forever
41:44
were complaining that was is none
41:46
of regular regulatory oversight. Over
41:48
as the A approvals for food safety. Other
41:50
things. That these they were into it before
41:52
it. Became goal. So.
41:56
Nobody. Could argue that. the
41:58
entire approval one unlawful.
42:04
Anyway, it went before
42:06
the Fifth Circuit and the Fifth Circuit did a
42:08
partial reversal, partial upholding. They basically said, nah, we're
42:10
not going to strike down the original approval of
42:12
the drug, but we are going to strike down
42:15
the 2016-2021 expansion of
42:17
making it available at all
42:19
terms of gestation and, you
42:21
know, without an in-person doctor's
42:25
visit among a couple other things. So
42:29
Judge Jim Ho had a partial dissent in which
42:31
he agreed with the district court that it should
42:33
have fully be uprooted
42:36
fine. Okay, so
42:39
right off the bat, I pointed this out
42:41
in December when the court agreed.
42:43
The court granted cert to overturn the
42:45
good part of the Fifth Circuit ruling,
42:48
but not the bad part, classic hypocrisy,
42:50
where they only grant the bad guys'
42:52
appeals, not our appeals. So it's like,
42:54
alright, maybe just take it up altogether.
42:56
No. So clear up. There's no chance
42:58
they're going to take
43:01
Judge Ho's side and overturn the Fifth
43:04
Circuit on not overturning the
43:06
original approval, but we could only
43:08
lose out that we won't even
43:10
get the Fifth Circuit's ruling to
43:12
overturn even the expansion. And indeed, yes,
43:15
they went oral arguments, and
43:17
they seem to indicate exactly that. Now,
43:20
as always, Kavanaugh, Barrett,
43:22
and sometimes Gorsuch – in this case,
43:25
Gorsuch is included – they
43:28
want to find out – they
43:30
want to find ways that will allow
43:33
them to give bad rulings without
43:36
giving bad rulings. So what's a great way to
43:38
do it? Oh, you don't have a standing. So,
43:42
I mean, there's a lot of interesting things that happened. Justice
43:45
Jackson basically said we need
43:47
to defer to the experts. We
43:50
shouldn't be second-guessing the
43:52
experts, which is interesting because this
43:54
is a woman, if you remember, who said during her
43:56
confirmation that we – I'm not a scientist. I don't
43:58
know what a woman is. So this
44:00
is the new thing that governmental agencies
44:03
could now go ahead and just
44:05
do whatever the hell they want And we do well,
44:07
well, it's medicine. It's it's but again, this is nothing
44:10
to do with medicine. I Mean
44:13
it happens to be it's dangerous. It happens to be
44:15
it's on the freaking menu on
44:17
the label of The FDA
44:19
that between 2.9 and 4.6 percent
44:22
of women will end up in the
44:24
emergency room. It's on the FDA label
44:27
Okay, so even if you're
44:29
pro abortion the This
44:32
is a dangerous drug The
44:36
manufacturer admits that between a hundred thousand
44:38
and three hundred fifty thousand two to
44:40
seven percent of users require Surgery
44:42
due to adverse events. This
44:45
is a really big problem again
44:47
over and beyond abortion You
44:50
don't need to be a doctor to listen to
44:52
their own statement and the FDA is label But
44:55
nonetheless, you don't even have to get into the whole
44:57
debate over safety and advocacy of drugs It
45:01
was the only way you could
45:03
say it was lawful is to say that
45:05
pregnancy is an illness and that that's mentally
45:07
ill But that's part of the
45:09
whole mindset. Now these guys don't
45:12
want to go be sound like Justice Jackson. So they
45:14
play games and they said They
45:16
didn't like the standing Justice
45:19
Gorsuch said there's been a rush
45:21
of sweeping court injunctions in recent
45:23
years and a
45:26
Prime example of turning what could be a
45:28
small lawsuit into a nationwide Legislative
45:30
assembly on an FDA rule or any other
45:32
federal government action. So, you know, I get
45:35
I'm sympathetic in a vacuum to like Yeah,
45:37
you know, we don't want to turn
45:40
the you know courts
45:42
to a super legislature to
45:44
basically determine the validity of every
45:46
major public policy issue decision
45:49
decided by by The
45:53
political branches now, I will just say that
45:56
Even in my sympathetic nature there is a difference between Yeah
46:00
the legislature and the executive branch
46:02
together versus an executive agency clearly
46:04
stepping out sort of outside
46:07
of its statutory bounds. That
46:10
more is the job
46:12
of the court versus, let's say, the legislature
46:14
clearly did this, but you feel it's unconstitutional
46:16
or whatever. But
46:18
I'm a sympathetic. Justice Barrett and Kavanaugh,
46:20
same thing. Barrett said, so
46:23
if that's right, I mean I think the difficulty here
46:25
is that, at least to me, these
46:27
affidavits do read more like the conscience
46:30
objection is strictly to actually participating in
46:32
abortion. And I
46:34
don't think, you know, Scott and Francis, the
46:36
doctors, plaintiffs ever
46:39
participated. In other words, what do you care? What do
46:41
you care, guys? What do you care? You
46:44
know, so you don't like abortion. There's a conscience
46:46
protection. You're not going to have to do it. You're
46:48
not going to have to prescribe these drugs. How does
46:50
it affect you? Now,
46:55
some of you who are smart onto this, you might be
46:57
jumping out of your seats. But
46:59
this really pissed me off. If
47:01
you want to go back to strengthening
47:04
Article 3 standing the way it was
47:06
in 1789, that you have to have
47:08
a very valid, ripe, particularized, tangible injury,
47:10
in fact, to be a plaintiff, you
47:14
can't just have some kind of subterfuge to put
47:16
a political issue in the courts because you disagree
47:18
with it politically, that it has to be a
47:20
clear, clear, you know, stakeholder
47:23
in it. I generally
47:25
am actually more sympathetic—I'm very sympathetic to
47:27
that. I generally think that's where the
47:29
courts should be. But let's apply it
47:32
evenly. My gosh, these idiot judges are
47:34
nowhere for us when the left wing
47:36
does this to us on labor, environment,
47:38
immigration. We have foreign nationals getting standing.
47:40
And I want to
47:43
point out two examples of how they're never there for
47:45
us. Environmental
47:49
issues, okay? There
47:51
is something called aesthetic
47:56
injury. There's a
47:58
doctrine of standing all over the place. aesthetic injury where
48:03
basically any random plaintiff can assert
48:05
that they will no longer be able to look at a
48:08
plant or an animal as
48:10
a result of you know
48:13
an EPA or Department of Interior reg
48:15
meaning they feel they need to police
48:17
you know Endangered Species Act more or
48:19
whatever it is and
48:23
this is from Lou and the
48:27
defense of wildlife 1992 1992 case desire to use or
48:29
observe an animal species
48:33
even for purely aesthetic purposes
48:36
is undeniably a cognizable
48:38
interest for purpose of
48:40
standing this is
48:43
true particularly for those okay so yeah
48:45
that was a quote and the person
48:47
who observes or works with a particular
48:49
animal threatened by a federal decision is
48:51
facing perceptible harm meaning if
48:54
you're like a scientist or a zoologist
48:56
so you totally have things a doctor should
48:58
be the same thing look you
49:01
know again if you want to
49:03
apply it strictly I could I could respect not
49:05
granting standing here but based
49:07
on the standing doctrine that these
49:10
same justices continue to uphold when
49:12
the left soothes our
49:14
policies it is absurd to
49:17
say that doctors who are
49:19
in or actively practicing cannot
49:22
assert that the FDA used an
49:25
unlawful process to approve a drug
49:27
that is very dangerous then
49:32
there's something called offender observer
49:34
standing you
49:37
know the whole line of the establishment clause
49:40
cases where they sue and say that the
49:42
government ever like mentioned Christmas or having a
49:44
replica of the Ten Commandments it
49:47
violates the establishment clause now obviously
49:49
that's absurd it doesn't but even
49:51
if it did you
49:54
might be wondering how the hell do you
49:56
get standing how does the existing of a
49:58
tenth of a ten command Replica
50:00
harm you my eyes it
50:03
hurts my eyes like what is it doesn't
50:05
do any like Literally,
50:07
how do you ever get standing? And
50:11
there's millions of cases they get random
50:15
atheist Satanic or
50:17
whatever plaintiffs They
50:19
have nothing to do with it. He is sending
50:21
I Have
50:24
one example I wrote about years ago Felix
50:26
the city of Bloomfield a 10th circuit case
50:29
Where they ruled that the city of Bloomfield
50:31
met New Mexico Had
50:33
to remove its replica of the Ten Commandments
50:36
on the city hall lawn And
50:39
you might be wondering Well, how do
50:41
they get planted standing? Here's what the 10th circuit said
50:45
Well Bloomfield argues that past
50:47
exposures meaning like exposure
50:49
that I have to look at
50:51
the see the existence of this
50:53
Ten Commandment monument does
50:55
not create imminent injury the
50:58
facts found by the district court establish
51:00
ongoing ongoing injuries and Charges
51:03
to plank this behavior. I'm
51:05
sorry changes Behavior resulting from
51:07
the highly visible religious display Felix
51:10
He's the plaintiff stopped going to City Hall
51:12
to pay her water bills So
51:14
she could avoid the monument but still sees
51:16
it from the road five or six times
51:18
a week Coon another plaintiff
51:20
drives past the monument three or four
51:22
times a week and sees it up
51:24
close every month When he
51:26
goes to pay his water bill this that
51:28
kind of exposure is more than enough for
51:31
standing I promise you I'm not making up
51:33
that up That's a verbatim quote from 10th
51:35
circuit and in 2017 when the
51:37
city appealed to the Supreme Court They denied
51:39
the appeal and sided with the 10th friggin
51:41
circuit So folks, this
51:43
is where we are The
51:47
same bastard courts that just
51:50
reached in officially To screw
51:53
with Texas defending themselves from an invasion.
51:56
They're like look guys hands off the
51:58
FDA. Don't tell them what to do,
52:00
even when it's clearly dangerous and all awful.
52:04
Oh, you don't have standing, doctors don't
52:06
have standing. Are you freaking
52:08
kidding me? I mean,
52:10
look, if
52:12
you want to say that in this
52:14
circumstance, doctors don't have standing, that
52:17
would pretty much throw out the left-wing
52:20
lawfare on environment and so many
52:22
critical issues. I am all
52:24
for making that deal. The problem
52:26
is, these bastard judges, and
52:29
yes, Barrett, Gorsuch, and Kavanaugh
52:32
are hypocritical bastards.
52:35
They will never apply it evenly, because
52:37
they're all political and because they feel
52:39
the pressure from one end and the
52:42
right never pressures them. We need to
52:44
call them out, we need to pressure
52:46
them, governors need to start legislating and
52:49
signing laws in accordance with our values regardless
52:51
of what they think they're going to rule.
52:55
And it's time we tell them to get off our lawn. I'm
52:58
telling you, they are prone to
53:00
pressure. Remember, there's a reason
53:03
why the Supreme Court did a reversal in 24
53:05
hours and rather than
53:10
putting an injunction on SB4, they're like, well, we
53:12
don't want to do it, but wink and
53:14
nod, we want the Fifth Circuit to do
53:16
it. Because
53:19
this is an issue that's becoming
53:21
like abortion, the invasion, and they're
53:26
feeling the pressure. This
53:29
is the sort of stuff we need a movement to
53:31
think of, but because I'm just telling you strategically, we
53:34
got a big problem. We
53:36
need answers. What are we going to
53:39
do when you have a Supreme Court
53:42
that is a one-way ratchet on
53:46
every doctrine, whether it's merits, whether
53:48
it's standing, whether it's rules of
53:52
orders and motions on preliminary
53:54
injunctions, administrative injunctions, or
53:56
administrative stays? where
54:00
it's all outcomes based, that
54:04
they basically have a scorecard. Oh, well,
54:06
we did the Harvard case, we did
54:08
Dobbs, we did Bruin. Well, now we
54:10
can't rule with you on these cases.
54:15
The courts are a very big,
54:17
big problem. I'm
54:20
just going to tell you, again,
54:22
if Trump were to somehow become president
54:26
and he were somehow to have the most effective
54:28
legal advisors and cabinet
54:31
members, no
54:34
one could disagree with what I'm saying here. Everything
54:37
he would accomplish would be executive. There's nothing you're going
54:39
to do through Congress. We
54:42
already proved that. So
54:46
I'm just going to tell you, the
54:48
left is going to a sell
54:51
all of them. Let's say there's 100 cases. They
54:56
will all be illegitimate lawsuits. But
55:01
Barrett and Kavanaugh and the likes will
55:04
make sure to side with them either
55:06
explicitly or through the shadow docket, not taking
55:09
up, you know, strategically taking up and not
55:11
taking up appeals at their whims at
55:14
least 50% of the time, if
55:17
not more. I'm
55:19
telling you, because remember, it's going to be even
55:21
worse because, you know,
55:24
to the extent we have a Republican president, it's going to be
55:26
Trump at this point, Trump appointed
55:28
them. So they're going to want to
55:30
they're certainly not going to want to look like
55:32
the rubber stamping the man that appointed them. That's
55:34
how they think. Trust
55:37
me, that is the psychology of these
55:39
judges. They
55:42
are prone to pressure every bit
55:44
as much as
55:46
these Republican governors that we refuse to
55:50
expose to pressure. Now, it's a little bit
55:52
different because it is life tenure and there is no
55:54
primary a little bit different.
55:56
But but again, pressure does work. They're
55:59
human beings. And
56:03
it's time we play the pressure game on
56:07
the courts the same way the left does, rather
56:10
than unilaterally disarming. I
56:13
understand in the perfect world, we want
56:15
the courts to have its jurisdiction, us
56:17
to have ours, follow the law, no
56:19
politics. That ended
56:21
years ago. The left has
56:24
weaponized it beyond belief. So
56:29
if the courts are not going to be
56:31
there for us to protect us when
56:34
the feds and the blue states screw with us at
56:36
a political level, you
56:38
better believe we're going to want to secure what
56:41
we do politically in the red states, because
56:43
if we don't do that, there
56:46
is quite literally zero hope. I
56:49
want to end with this point. I
56:52
do believe – I still believe the most
56:54
likely scenario is that Biden
56:56
will win, or if
56:59
they swap him out with someone else, Democrats will win.
57:02
Unless something changes – I mean,
57:05
down ballot, this is clear. Nobody
57:07
argues. No pollster argues. Polls all say
57:09
that. It's
57:12
a pro-Democrat environment, and there's
57:14
a reason for that because of the stupidity of the
57:16
right. But
57:20
you cannot imagine the mandate they will think
57:22
they have and the things that they're going
57:24
to do where they have power. So
57:28
therefore, you cannot imagine the things we're going to
57:30
need to do in red states. And
57:32
I'm just going to tell you, almost everything
57:34
the Biden admin would do, hypothetically,
57:37
next year will be upheld by the
57:40
courts, and
57:42
almost everything we want to do to protect ourselves will
57:44
be struck down. Now, again, some will be the courts,
57:46
some will be the lower courts, they'll play games, but
57:50
they will strategically make sure that's how it works.
57:53
Don't doubt me. This is what's happening in the courts.
57:56
A lot more political news we want to get to. Again,
57:58
we'll talk to you tomorrow. special guest
58:00
on that WHO medical freedom movement where
58:03
things stand what we can do in
58:05
the state again
58:08
the courts are going to loom large and anything we want
58:10
to do
