Biden Funding BOTH Sides Of Ukraine War, plus Schiff-less! · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

0:00
Speaker 1: Center. Nice to be with you here today. You just
0:02
Speaker 1: got back in from Washington, d C. And there is
0:05
Speaker 1: some serious news that's broken this week that I think
0:08
Speaker 1: a lot of people don't realize it's happening, and that
0:11
Speaker 1: is the disastrous policies of the Biden administration are really
0:14
Speaker 1: coming back to haness and it's now dealing with the
0:17
Speaker 1: national security issue. It's not just the policies with Ukraine
0:21
Speaker 1: and Russia, it's also now dealing with Iran. And there
0:24
Speaker 1: were some questions that you asked, and I want to
0:27
Speaker 1: play this for people because I think it's so important.
0:29
Speaker 1: You were talking about the massive disaster that was, in
0:33
Speaker 1: fact the nord Stream pipeline and not having sanctions early enough.
0:37
Speaker 1: For everybody that's listening, and if you're watching this, this
0:41
Speaker 1: was a moment that I think it's going to come
0:43
Speaker 1: back to haunt this administration for a long time. Let's
0:45
Speaker 1: take a look. Thank you, missus, Chairman, welcome teach of
0:49
Speaker 1: the witnesses, Miss Newland. As you know, in January of
0:55
Speaker 1: last year, the Senate voted on my legislation to impost
0:59
Speaker 1: sanction on the Nordstream two pipeline, and it did so
1:03
Speaker 1: before Russia had invaded Ukraine. When the Senate voted on
1:08
Speaker 1: those sanctions, President Zelenski publicly urged, even begged, the United
1:13
Speaker 1: States Senate to pass those sanctions, and President Zelensky said
1:18
Speaker 1: passing those sanctions then were the last chance to prevent
1:24
Speaker 1: Russia from invading Ukraine, the last chance to prevent Russian
1:30
Speaker 1: tanks rolling into Ukraine. Was President Zolenski wrong, Senator Cruz,
1:42
Speaker 1: like you, I am, and I think the administration is
1:46
Speaker 1: very gratified to know that Nordstream two is now, as
1:49
Speaker 1: you like to say, a hunk of metal at the
1:51
Speaker 1: bottom of the sea. I personally, having been involved, along
1:55
Speaker 1: with my boss, Secretary Lincoln, in all of those negotiations
1:58
Speaker 1: with Russia to to prevent this war in December, do
2:03
Speaker 1: not believe that had that Nordstream two been cut off
2:07
Speaker 1: in January, that would have been decisive for Putin. It
2:10
Speaker 1: was important that the day the war began the Germans
2:13
Speaker 1: cut the pipeline, as did the rest of the Europeans.
2:15
Speaker 1: But he was bound and determined to go into Ukraine
2:18
Speaker 1: as yourself, So you believe Zelenski was wrong when he
2:21
Speaker 1: said stopping Nordstream two was the last and best way
2:26
Speaker 1: to stop this war. I don't think it would have
2:28
Speaker 1: stopped Putin. And you know, and when the government when
2:31
Speaker 1: the government of Poland similarly said begged the United States
2:35
Speaker 1: Senate to pass those sanctions and said this is the
2:38
Speaker 1: last and best opportunity to stop Russia from invading Ukraine.
2:41
Speaker 1: You believe Poland was wrong too. I do not believe
2:44
Speaker 1: we would have prevented this war had the Europeans acted
2:47
Speaker 1: faster on Nordstream two. I wish it were the case. Wow, Senator,
2:52
Speaker 1: go back through this timeline, because this is now the
2:56
Speaker 1: chickens coming home to Ruce for everybody that got it wrong. Well,
3:01
Speaker 1: Joe Biden caused the war in Ukraine. It is because
3:05
Speaker 1: of the foreign policy failures of this president that we're
3:10
Speaker 1: seeing the biggest land war in Europe since World War Two.
3:13
Speaker 1: And in particular, what I was asking that was a
3:17
Speaker 1: hearing in the Senate Foreign Relations Committee that happened yesterday,
3:20
Speaker 1: and that is the Under Secretary of State, Victoria Newland,
3:23
Speaker 1: who was testifying. And this administration now has elevated President
3:30
Speaker 1: Zelenski to the status of a modern day saints. He's
3:33
Speaker 1: been canonized already and the Democrats have taken to singing
3:39
Speaker 1: his praises NonStop. And the point I was making here
3:42
Speaker 1: is wait a second. Zelenski was begging for your help
3:47
Speaker 1: before the war started in order to prevent it, and
3:51
Speaker 1: you refuse to help. And what's the backstory? Listen, Putin
3:55
Speaker 1: has wanted to invade Ukraine for a long long time.
3:59
Speaker 1: He wanted to invade when Trump was president, and you're
4:01
Speaker 1: not to do it well. And one of the big
4:04
Speaker 1: reasons he didn't you look at. In twenty fourteen, Putin
4:09
Speaker 1: invaded Ukraine, invaded Crimea, the southern portion of Ukraine, but
4:13
Speaker 1: he stopped short. Why because going into all of Ukraine
4:17
Speaker 1: risks the natural gas pipelines that run right through Ukraine,
4:22
Speaker 1: and Russia gets a huge portion of its revenue from
4:27
Speaker 1: selling natural gas and oil, and it needs to be
4:30
Speaker 1: able to get that natural gas to Europe through Ukraine.
4:33
Speaker 1: The next year, in twenty fifteen, Putin began what's called
4:36
Speaker 1: Nordstream two. It's an undersea pipeline that goes from Russia
4:40
Speaker 1: to Germany. The entire purpose of it is to circumvent
4:44
Speaker 1: Ukraine so that he could invade Ukraine and not have
4:46
Speaker 1: to worry about getting gas to market. In twenty nineteen,
4:50
Speaker 1: I introduced and passed legislation to sanction the Nordstream to
4:56
Speaker 1: pipeline to shut it down before it was built. That
5:00
Speaker 1: legislation passed, I got Republicans to support it, I got
5:02
Speaker 1: Democrats to support it. Trump signed it. The law. Putin
5:07
Speaker 1: stopped building the Nordstream to pipeline literally the day Donald
5:12
Speaker 1: Trump signed my sanctions legislation. That day the pipeline stopped.
5:18
Speaker 1: It was dormant. It was dead, as Victoria Nowland noted,
5:22
Speaker 1: as I've said many times, it was a hunk of
5:24
Speaker 1: metal at the bottom of the sea for over a year.
5:29
Speaker 1: In December of twenty twenty, I introduced and passed a
5:33
Speaker 1: second set of sanctions legislations to sanction Nordstream even further
5:37
Speaker 1: to make sure Putin didn't resume building the pipeline. And
5:41
Speaker 1: you knew this was so important because of the financial
5:45
Speaker 1: side of this for Russia, and you were thinking ahead
5:48
Speaker 1: like anybody should on an issue like it was the
5:51
Speaker 1: way to stop Putin from invading Ukraine. Joe Biden becomes
5:56
Speaker 1: president January twentieth, twenty twenty one. Four days later, January
6:02
Speaker 1: twenty fourth, twenty twenty one, Putin resumes deep sea construction
6:08
Speaker 1: of Nordstream two. It literally took four days to reverse
6:13
Speaker 1: what we had accomplished under Donald Trump. Putin returned to
6:16
Speaker 1: building the pipeline. Why because Biden foreshadowed weakness. Then later
6:22
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty one, Biden formally waived sanctions on nord
6:26
Speaker 1: Stream two. He basically gave Vladimir Putin a multi billion
6:31
Speaker 1: dollars gift and caused the Ukraine War. Well, the question
6:35
Speaker 1: I just asked there. In January of last year of
6:41
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two, I forced to vote on the Senate
6:44
Speaker 1: floor to reimpose those sanctions on nord Stream two, the
6:48
Speaker 1: sanctions that had worked. Every Senate Democrat had voted with
6:54
Speaker 1: me not just once, but twice in twenty nineteen and
6:57
Speaker 1: twenty twenty in favor of those sanctions. The day of
7:01
Speaker 1: the vote, Joe Biden came to Capitol Hill and he
7:05
Speaker 1: personally lobbied the Senate Democrats. It's the only time I
7:08
Speaker 1: know of that he's done so since he's been president,
7:10
Speaker 1: asking them, please vote against Cruz's sanctions, vote in favor
7:16
Speaker 1: of Russia, vote in favor of Putin. When that happened,
7:22
Speaker 1: President Zelenski publicly pleaded with the United States Senate please
7:28
Speaker 1: pass cruzes legislation. It's the only way to stop Russia
7:32
Speaker 1: from invading Ukraine. Poland, the government of Poland formally put
7:37
Speaker 1: out a statement asking the Senate to pass my legislation.
7:41
Speaker 1: They said it was the way to stop Russia from
7:44
Speaker 1: invading Ukraine. They said, if you don't pass it, Russia
7:47
Speaker 1: will invade Ukraine. Forty four Democrats decided to put partisan
7:52
Speaker 1: loyalty above national security. They voted for Putin, they voted
7:56
Speaker 1: for Russia, they voted against sanctions, and just a few
8:00
Speaker 1: weeks later, Russian tanks rolled into Ukraine. And so that's
8:04
Speaker 1: what I was asking her. Is Zelenski, who you have
8:07
Speaker 1: said is a modern day saint. Was he wrong when
8:12
Speaker 1: he told you we could avoid this whole damn war
8:16
Speaker 1: if you just imposed the sanctions, and she was forced
8:20
Speaker 1: to say yes, I think he was wrong, because the
8:22
Speaker 1: alternative is to admit Joe Biden screwed this whole thing
8:26
Speaker 1: up and caused this war to begin with. You mentioned weakness, right,
8:31
Speaker 1: that they were the foreshadowing, and they understood. Okay, Joe
8:33
Speaker 1: Biden's week and Vladimir Putin said I'm going to start
8:36
Speaker 1: this four days after he becomes president. Again, You're saying
8:39
Speaker 1: we got to do the sanctions here. But the question
8:42
Speaker 1: I know everybody wants to ask is what was in
8:45
Speaker 1: this for the president? Why was it so important to him?
8:48
Speaker 1: And before you answer that question, I want to remind
8:50
Speaker 1: people about Patriot Mobile. Patriot Mobile is an incredible company,
8:54
Speaker 1: a conservative Christian phone company. If you have a cell
8:59
Speaker 1: phone with a big tech you can switch it to
9:02
Speaker 1: Patriot Mobile. Not only can you save money, but every
9:05
Speaker 1: time you use your phone and every time you pay
9:07
Speaker 1: your bill, you're actually supporting the causes that we all
9:10
Speaker 1: believe in the first the second Medment right, protecting the
9:13
Speaker 1: unborn children this country, and even helping now with adoptions.
9:17
Speaker 1: If you've never checked out Patriot Mobile, go to Patriot
9:20
Speaker 1: Mobile dot com slash verdict. That's Patriot Mobile dot com
9:25
Speaker 1: slash verdict. Check them out, make the switch and make
9:29
Speaker 1: a difference with every phone call. Now, Senator, I go
9:32
Speaker 1: back to what I was saying a second ago. What
9:34
Speaker 1: was in it for him? Why would he be saying
9:37
Speaker 1: I want to get this deal done, because this is
9:39
Speaker 1: what a foreign lobbyist for Russia would be advocating for.
9:42
Speaker 1: And yet the presence one who goes to the hill,
9:45
Speaker 1: as you mentioned, it to put it in perspective, and
9:48
Speaker 1: this was something so important to him. He needed to
9:50
Speaker 1: meet personally with all these senators to give the best
9:53
Speaker 1: deal you could give to the Russians. Look, I don't
9:56
Speaker 1: know why he wanted to. I think there are a
10:00
Speaker 1: couple of theories. Biden came in on foreign policy with
10:05
Speaker 1: the assumption everything Trump did was wrong. If he did
10:08
Speaker 1: one thing, let's reverse it and listen. That's not unique
10:12
Speaker 1: to Biden. Most presidents come in and if the opposing
10:14
Speaker 1: party did something, they often want to reverse it. So
10:17
Speaker 1: I get that instinct. But here this had been a
10:23
Speaker 1: massive bipartisan victory that Joe Biden threw away. By the way,
10:28
Speaker 1: you know who agrees with that, Victoria Newland. She argued
10:32
Speaker 1: passionately for Biden to impose those sanctions. She got over ruled.
10:36
Speaker 1: Tony blink In, the Secretary of State, argued passionately for
10:39
Speaker 1: Biden to impose those sanctions. He got overruled by the
10:42
Speaker 1: White House. And you know the other reason I would
10:45
Speaker 1: give the Biden White House on foreign policy. They've been
10:50
Speaker 1: spectacularly wrong on almost every single aspect of foreign policy,
10:54
Speaker 1: and not just little blunders, massive blunders. I think we
10:57
Speaker 1: need to remind people you have Afghanistan, you have this
11:01
Speaker 1: this war on the biggest moments on the stage and
11:05
Speaker 1: he remember, he said, I'm the guy I've been around,
11:08
Speaker 1: I was, I was on the Foreign relations, I've done
11:11
Speaker 1: all this as the vice president. That was what he
11:13
Speaker 1: ran on. It reminds me of something Reagan said about liberals,
11:17
Speaker 1: which is, it's not what they know, it's that so
11:22
Speaker 1: so much of what they know just isn't so. The
11:29
Speaker 1: Biden foreign policy team came in as smug enlightened. They said,
11:34
Speaker 1: the adults are in charge. Yeah, and and part of
11:38
Speaker 1: their view is is Germany can do no wrong. My
11:43
Speaker 1: national security advisor jokes that the Biden foreign policy team
11:47
Speaker 1: slept with votive candles of Angela Merkel under their beds,
11:51
Speaker 1: like like they just and Germany wanted this pipeline because
11:54
Speaker 1: they just wanted the money. They didn't care about anything else.
11:57
Speaker 1: Give us the money. Screw Ukraine. Germany was terrible on this,
12:03
Speaker 1: and the Biden White House decided, well, let's pile around
12:05
Speaker 1: with Germany and never mind that it's giving a huge
12:09
Speaker 1: multi billion dollar gift to putin. And they didn't understand,
12:13
Speaker 1: They fundamentally don't understand weakness is provocative. They think if
12:18
Speaker 1: they're really weak and really nice to Putin, he'll just
12:21
Speaker 1: smile and go away. And so they thought, well, if
12:24
Speaker 1: we give him this multi billion dollar gift, why would
12:26
Speaker 1: he invade Ukraine. We've given him everything he wants, And
12:29
Speaker 1: they don't understand that the way you deal with bullies
12:32
Speaker 1: is strength rather than weakness. But it's even worse than that.
12:37
Speaker 1: We're now a year into this war and the Joe
12:41
Speaker 1: Biden administration is in many ways playing both sides of
12:47
Speaker 1: the war. And I want to turn to an additional
12:53
Speaker 1: set of questions from the hearing yesterday, because the Biden
12:57
Speaker 1: administration desperately wants to cut a new nuclear deal with Iran,
13:02
Speaker 1: and it's willing to have billions of dollars flow into Iran,
13:07
Speaker 1: which has happened under Joe Biden, and to have that
13:11
Speaker 1: money be used in support of Putin and Russia in
13:15
Speaker 1: the war in Ukraine, because they're so obsessed with Iran.
13:19
Speaker 1: So here play the questions. Let's talk about Iran's supply
13:23
Speaker 1: of drones to Russia. The Biden administration made an immediate
13:26
Speaker 1: decision to go to the United Nations and drop the
13:29
Speaker 1: General UN arms embargo on Iran because they say it
13:32
Speaker 1: was required by the original JCPOA nuclear deal. Biden officials
13:37
Speaker 1: say part of the embargo dealing with drones is still
13:40
Speaker 1: in place, but even that measure will expire this fall
13:43
Speaker 1: pursuant to the JCPPA. I believe the Biden administration should
13:48
Speaker 1: immediately go to the UN invoke our snapback authority and
13:52
Speaker 1: keep the embargo in place. Do you agree or do
13:55
Speaker 1: you believe we should allow the UN arms embargo on
13:58
Speaker 1: Iran to expire and allow Iranian drones to continue to
14:03
Speaker 1: go to Russia and be used against the people of Ukraine.
14:08
Speaker 1: Time of the senator is exparba. Please answer his question.
14:12
Speaker 1: Thank you, Senator Cruz. You are absolutely right that Iranian
14:16
Speaker 1: drones are fueling this war, and that is why we
14:19
Speaker 1: have taken many, many increased sanctions measures against Iran over
14:24
Speaker 1: the last couple of months, including against the IRGC GUARDCOREPS
14:29
Speaker 1: Aerospace Force, the Kuds Force, aviation industry, the Shahid aviation industry,
14:34
Speaker 1: Russian aerospace forces. Have you stopped the drones? We have
14:39
Speaker 1: not stopped the drones, and this is part of the problem.
14:42
Speaker 1: We've not stopped the drones. This is part of the problem.
14:45
Speaker 1: So people understand, as it was just said there, the
14:48
Speaker 1: drones are fueling this war in Ukraine. In other words,
14:53
Speaker 1: there's a lot of weapons that Ukraine's gotten from the
14:55
Speaker 1: international community to fight back. Russia's using these drones coming
14:59
Speaker 1: in from Iran to kill innocent people, women, children, anybody
15:03
Speaker 1: they want to target from the air. And this is
15:05
Speaker 1: basically one of their best weapons they have in this
15:08
Speaker 1: entire last year the conflict, and it's coming from Iran.
15:11
Speaker 1: So the Biden administration is effectively funding both sides of
15:15
Speaker 1: this war. Let's say that again, because that's serious news.
15:19
Speaker 1: The Biden administration is effectively funding both sides of this war.
15:25
Speaker 1: Why well, they flooded billions of dollars into Ukraine and
15:29
Speaker 1: President Zelenski. Some of it has gone to weapons being
15:32
Speaker 1: used to fight the war, much of it has gone
15:34
Speaker 1: into the government, including in places in the government where
15:37
Speaker 1: corruption is endemic and a serious problem. But at the
15:41
Speaker 1: same time they've also lifted sanctions on Iran and have
15:46
Speaker 1: flowed billions of dollars into Iran. And Iran is turned
15:51
Speaker 1: around and it's sending drones to Russia to use to
15:56
Speaker 1: kill Ukrainians. And by the way, one component of what
16:01
Speaker 1: Joe Biden has done with Iran. We had in place
16:05
Speaker 1: under Trump sanctions on their oil sales. I pressed the
16:09
Speaker 1: Trump administration to impose those sanctions. Those sanctions had effectively
16:14
Speaker 1: shut down oil sales for Iran. Joe Biden has essentially
16:20
Speaker 1: refused to enforce those sanctions. So today the Ayatollah is
16:26
Speaker 1: selling over a million barrels a day of oil because
16:30
Speaker 1: Joe Biden is letting him and the money even though
16:34
Speaker 1: they're sanctions. Yes, because Biden won't enforce the sanctions, the sanctions.
16:41
Speaker 1: The Biden foreign policy is simple, screw our friends and
16:45
Speaker 1: show weakness to our enemies. That's what they do. So literally,
16:50
Speaker 1: the drones that are killing Ukrainian soldiers are from Iran
16:57
Speaker 1: and are essentially paid for by the Biden administration lifting
17:02
Speaker 1: sanctions on Iran. It is assinine and it's because they're
17:07
Speaker 1: not serious about this. When they engage in foreign policy,
17:11
Speaker 1: it's virtue signaling. It's not focused on American national security,
17:16
Speaker 1: it's not focused on our interest, It's focused on whatever
17:20
Speaker 1: will make the Biden foreign policy team popular in the
17:23
Speaker 1: faculty lounge at whatever university they want to go back to.
17:27
Speaker 1: And I gotta say, it's just nuts. To be funding
17:32
Speaker 1: both sides of a war. Last question on this. People
17:36
Speaker 1: hear that they're sanctions and they say, as you just mentioned,
17:39
Speaker 1: they're not being enforced. Is there any mechanism for Congress
17:43
Speaker 1: to be able to say, hey, guys, you're not enforcing
17:47
Speaker 1: these sanctions. We obviously probably know who's buying this oil.
17:50
Speaker 1: That wouldn't be hard to figure that out. There's bad
17:53
Speaker 1: actors involved here? Or is this basically I'm the president. Yes,
17:57
Speaker 1: they're sanctions. If I don't want to enforce them, I
17:59
Speaker 1: don't have to. So yes, Congress could definitely do that.
18:02
Speaker 1: I've introduced legislation to do exactly that. The problem is
18:07
Speaker 1: the Senate Democrats all support Joe Biden. No matter how
18:10
Speaker 1: bad the foreign policy is, they vote in favor of Biden. Look,
18:14
Speaker 1: when Trump was president, I brought together Republicans and Democrats
18:22
Speaker 1: to overwhelmingly pass sanctions on Nordstream two. All those same
18:28
Speaker 1: Democrats that voted for sanctions not once but twice. They
18:31
Speaker 1: voted for it in twenty nineteen, they voted again for
18:32
Speaker 1: it in twenty twenty. In twenty twenty two when they
18:36
Speaker 1: voted against sanctions, the only thing that had changed was
18:41
Speaker 1: the letter behind the president's name instead of an R,
18:44
Speaker 1: it was a D. And they were more than happy
18:47
Speaker 1: to vote for sanctions when Trump was president. But once
18:49
Speaker 1: Biden was president and he had decided he wanted to
18:52
Speaker 1: give in the putin, the Democrats weren't willing to stand up,
18:56
Speaker 1: stand up, and do the right thing. There's gonna be
18:58
Speaker 1: a lot of Americans are frustrated over this because we're
19:00
Speaker 1: sending so much money, so much aid, and like you said,
19:04
Speaker 1: we're basically funding both sides of this war, all because
19:07
Speaker 1: they're too dumb to realize that they're doing this. And
19:09
Speaker 1: I'm not even sure he understands exactly how ridiculous ideology
19:12
Speaker 1: trumps everything, and their ideology their objective ideologically is By
19:19
Speaker 1: the way, this White House is fundamentally okay with Iran
19:23
Speaker 1: getting a nuclear weapon. They believe America has no right
19:28
Speaker 1: to determine who has nuclear weapons. By the way, that's nonsense.
19:31
Speaker 1: When the Ayatola chance death to America and death to Israel.
19:35
Speaker 1: We're to do everything necessary to make sure that lunatic
19:38
Speaker 1: never gets a nuclear weapon, because I don't want to
19:40
Speaker 1: risk his using it to murder millions of Americans. But
19:44
Speaker 1: that's actually an America first, foreign policy that's focused on
19:49
Speaker 1: defending America. When it comes to Biden, it is essentially
19:54
Speaker 1: an America Last foreign policy. And they don't mind them
19:59
Speaker 1: having a nuclear and that's why they're obsessed with this
20:01
Speaker 1: deal so much. Yeah. Again, it's a faculty lounge foreign policy.
20:06
Speaker 1: It's whatever is popular with left wing professors who you
20:11
Speaker 1: believe that if you just put daisies in the barrels
20:14
Speaker 1: of machine guns and make love not war and give
20:17
Speaker 1: piece a chance, that that's the solution. And what they
20:21
Speaker 1: do not understand is weakness is provocative. I believe in
20:26
Speaker 1: peace through strength. There's a reason nobody goes and gets
20:32
Speaker 1: a degree from the Neville Chamberlain School of Foreign Affairs
20:36
Speaker 1: because appeasement work doesn't work. These guys fundamentally don't understand that. Well,
20:42
Speaker 1: you're dealing with this real issue. There's another issue that
20:45
Speaker 1: the media has been freaking out over. That is Democrats
20:49
Speaker 1: being thrown off committees, not getting committee seats. Say want
20:52
Speaker 1: this is supposed to be what America is supposed to
20:55
Speaker 1: care about. Right now? You actually predicted this last year,
21:00
Speaker 1: and we have that tweet of you predicting that Democrats
21:03
Speaker 1: were going to freak out. Nancy Pelosi's furious over this
21:06
Speaker 1: as well. And I want to play for deal Pelosi
21:09
Speaker 1: first so that they can see what she said. And
21:11
Speaker 1: you actually predicted when you start schooling Republicans this way
21:14
Speaker 1: and committees, the Republicans are going to give it right
21:17
Speaker 1: back to you if we get back in charge. Here's Pelosi,
21:20
Speaker 1: didn't you open the door to this? No, we said
21:23
Speaker 1: a precedent which I hope they will follow. If they
21:26
Speaker 1: have members as they did, we threatened the security of
21:30
Speaker 1: our members on the committee, or a danger to our
21:34
Speaker 1: members threatening them, then that would go off the committee.
21:38
Speaker 1: So if they have that accusation about any of our members,
21:41
Speaker 1: let's hear what they have to say. It was clear
21:44
Speaker 1: that their members were a threat to our members. So
21:47
Speaker 1: this is about maintaining safety for our members. The fact
21:52
Speaker 1: that they want to set take these people off the
21:54
Speaker 1: committee is more philosophic. It is philosophical. So there she is.
22:00
Speaker 1: Look that is utter gobbedally gook. The Republicans were a threat.
22:05
Speaker 1: We were scared. Now, mind you, these are the same
22:08
Speaker 1: nincome poops that set up metal detectors to walk under
22:10
Speaker 1: the floor of the House because they were afraid the
22:13
Speaker 1: Republicans were going to shoot them. These are the same
22:17
Speaker 1: ninnies that erected fences around the Capitol with razor wire
22:23
Speaker 1: for months after months after months because they wanted to
22:26
Speaker 1: convey to the American people that all Republican voters are
22:30
Speaker 1: wild eyed terrorists who are going to march on the
22:32
Speaker 1: Capitol and kill us all what utter crap. Oh, we
22:38
Speaker 1: were afraid. We were afraid, you know, Marjorie Taylor Greene
22:43
Speaker 1: was gonna go beat up Adam Schiff, like, give me
22:47
Speaker 1: a break. But all of the catterwalling, all of the
22:53
Speaker 1: tears were seeing. Now, I think is hysterical because, as
22:58
Speaker 1: you noted, here's what I let's go back. You predicted
23:01
Speaker 1: this last year. Your tweet is one that made me
23:05
Speaker 1: laugh because if you actually watch the tweet itself, you
23:08
Speaker 1: have the Jeff on there of the people jumping in
23:10
Speaker 1: the hole, and so you can see that. But look
23:13
Speaker 1: at the date down there, November thirtieth, twenty twenty one.
23:17
Speaker 1: You say, House Democrats, you know, are basically irrationally partisan
23:20
Speaker 1: and excitedly trying to throw Republicans off committees the chance
23:24
Speaker 1: of the GOP retakes the House in twenty two, twenty
23:27
Speaker 1: twenty two, are over ninety percent prediction come twenty twenty three,
23:31
Speaker 1: swallowell omar un till even others are getting ready to
23:34
Speaker 1: have a lot more time on their hands, meaning they're
23:36
Speaker 1: gonna be thrown off the committees. So you said it
23:39
Speaker 1: was gonna happen. What Pelosi did in twenty twenty one
23:41
Speaker 1: had never happened before, which is for the majority party,
23:45
Speaker 1: the speaker of the House, to say to the minority party,
23:48
Speaker 1: I don't like your members, We're throwing you off the committees.
23:52
Speaker 1: That had never happened. It was an incredible abusive power
23:56
Speaker 1: by she did that, and then she did it again
23:58
Speaker 1: with a so called select committee on January sixth, which
24:00
Speaker 1: he said, no, we don't want Jim Jordan, we don't
24:02
Speaker 1: want your members on the committee. And when they did that,
24:06
Speaker 1: I remember looking at it and thinking, you know the
24:10
Speaker 1: old sociology experiment with little kids where you have one
24:17
Speaker 1: and two marshmallows and you make clear if they eat
24:21
Speaker 1: one marshmallow they get it now, but if they can wait,
24:23
Speaker 1: if they can defer gratification, they get two marshmallows. The
24:28
Speaker 1: Democrats in Congress are all one marshmallow people. They could
24:32
Speaker 1: not delay gratification. They hated the Republicans so much they're like,
24:36
Speaker 1: throw them off committees. And I'm like what I said
24:39
Speaker 1: in the tweet, you guys are lemmings. You're literally jumping
24:41
Speaker 1: off a cliff because you know you're going to lose. Yeah,
24:46
Speaker 1: November of twenty twenty one, every one of the Democrats
24:49
Speaker 1: believed they were going to lose the House, which they did.
24:53
Speaker 1: You know you're going to lose if you do this
24:56
Speaker 1: to Republicans, the chances are one hundred percent they're going
25:00
Speaker 1: to do it to you. And I named, you know,
25:03
Speaker 1: Swallwell and Omar and you know Shift are the three
25:07
Speaker 1: that have lost committees. And it was obvious Well and
25:10
Speaker 1: which brings you to Adam Schiff. Now he is a
25:12
Speaker 1: cry baby. He's out there on TikTok, which is even funnier,
25:16
Speaker 1: begging people for money on this app that literally government
25:20
Speaker 1: agencies are saying do not have on your phone, States
25:23
Speaker 1: are saying on state phones, don't have it. He goes
25:25
Speaker 1: to Chinese communist TikTok to say help me. I'm poor,
25:29
Speaker 1: and help me. I've been kicked off committees. Take a look. Hell,
25:32
Speaker 1: I'm Congressman Adam Schiff. With some troubling news today, Ken
25:36
Speaker 1: McCarthy removed me from the House Intelligence Committee all for
25:39
Speaker 1: doing my job, for holding Trump accountable and standing up
25:43
Speaker 1: to the extreme Magarepublicans. We knew it would be bad
25:46
Speaker 1: when the Republicans took over, but it's far worse than
25:49
Speaker 1: we expected. But I can promise you this, this is
25:52
Speaker 1: not the end of my fight for our democracy. This
25:55
Speaker 1: is just the beginning. Please join us and contribute today.
26:00
Speaker 1: Thank you. I don't even know how to assess that. Senator.
26:04
Speaker 1: Oh look, that God has a sense of humor, and
26:07
Speaker 1: that is irony stacked upon irony. So he was previously
26:12
Speaker 1: the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee. He demonstrated an
26:16
Speaker 1: incredibly cavalier approach to classified documents, an incredibly dishonest approach
26:22
Speaker 1: to that committee, and so he was removed from it.
26:27
Speaker 1: He was removed from it because Kevin McCarthy laid out
26:30
Speaker 1: that he believed that his lying using classified documents posed
26:36
Speaker 1: a national security threat. It is amazing that the very
26:40
Speaker 1: first thing he does is he goes and gets an
26:42
Speaker 1: account on TikTok that is owned and controlled by the
26:45
Speaker 1: Chinese government, that is an espionage tool for the Chinese government,
26:49
Speaker 1: and he puts out a video on an espionage tool
26:52
Speaker 1: for the Chinese government to say it's terrible that I
26:57
Speaker 1: was thrown off the Intelligence Committee. He does it to
27:00
Speaker 1: raise money for his campaign. And I'll also note he
27:04
Speaker 1: uses the phrase extreme maga Republicans, which every Democrat does that.
27:10
Speaker 1: Now you know Mitt Romney is an extreme maga Republican.
27:13
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean it just has become but but
27:16
Speaker 1: but there is there's a message discipline to the Democrats.
27:20
Speaker 1: They all use those words. That's the new label extreme
27:24
Speaker 1: magar republican. It's striking. Shifts showed precisely why. And it's
27:34
Speaker 1: very hard when you're doing a recorded thing to say
27:36
Speaker 1: Shift's name and and not get bleeped by the censors.
27:39
Speaker 1: You have to enunciate carefully. Yes, um, but I think
27:46
Speaker 1: he illustrated in his TikTok video quite nicely why removing
27:52
Speaker 1: him from the Intelligence Committee was the right thing to do.
27:54
Speaker 1: But you know what, don't take my word for it.
27:56
Speaker 1: Listen to Kevin McCarthy, because what happens in the Intel Committee.
28:00
Speaker 1: You don't know what happens in the Intel Committee. Although
28:02
Speaker 1: the secrets are going on in the world. Other members
28:05
Speaker 1: of Congress don't know what did Adam Schiff do as
28:08
Speaker 1: the chairman of the Intel Committee. What Adam Schiff did
28:11
Speaker 1: use his power as a chairman and lie to the
28:13
Speaker 1: American public. Even the Inspector General said it. When Devin
28:17
Speaker 1: Nowoneth put out a memo, he said it was false.
28:19
Speaker 1: When we had a laptop, he used it before an
28:22
Speaker 1: election to be politics and say that it was false
28:24
Speaker 1: and said it was the Russians when he knew different
28:27
Speaker 1: when he knew the Intel. If you talked to John Radcliffe,
28:32
Speaker 1: D and I, he came out ahead of time and
28:34
Speaker 1: says there's no intel to prove that. And he used
28:37
Speaker 1: his position as chairman, knowing he has information the rest
28:40
Speaker 1: of America does not, and lie to the American public.
28:43
Speaker 1: When a whistleblower came forward, he said he did not
28:45
Speaker 1: know the individual, even though his staff had met with
28:48
Speaker 1: him and set it up. So, no, he does not
28:50
Speaker 1: have a right to sit on that. But I will
28:52
Speaker 1: not be like Democrats and played politics with thiefs where
28:55
Speaker 1: they removed Republicans from committees and all committees. So yes,
28:59
Speaker 1: he can serve on a committee, but he will not
29:01
Speaker 1: serve on Intel because it goes to the national security
29:04
Speaker 1: of America. It's pretty bold statement, and you go back
29:07
Speaker 1: to Ratcliffe, it was unprecedent for the Director of National
29:10
Speaker 1: Intelligence to come out and basically slap a Democrat who's
29:14
Speaker 1: in charge of this committee down saying what he just
29:17
Speaker 1: told you is not true, in is a lie. And
29:19
Speaker 1: he had to do that at the time. That's how
29:21
Speaker 1: partisan they had turned this into in his leadership, Adam
29:24
Speaker 1: Shift and to say as a threat to national security?
29:28
Speaker 1: Is this some politics in that or do you think
29:30
Speaker 1: that there is some truth to that as well? So
29:32
Speaker 1: one of the things to keep in mind about how
29:34
Speaker 1: Congress works, so every member of Congress has access to
29:39
Speaker 1: classified information in one form or another, depending on what
29:42
Speaker 1: committees you are. All of us reviewed review classified information regularly.
29:48
Speaker 1: That being said, the Intelligence Committee in both the House
29:52
Speaker 1: and Senate reviews much much more sensitive material than most
29:58
Speaker 1: other House members source senators at a higher level of classification,
30:02
Speaker 1: at a much higher level of classification. They're reviewing materials
30:06
Speaker 1: store next to your corvette, and you're going, exactly, that's
30:09
Speaker 1: that's uh. Look, the Intel is regularly reviewing materials that
30:14
Speaker 1: implicate sources and methods that, if revealed, could endanger the
30:18
Speaker 1: lives of US operatives that are covert. Schiff, as chairman
30:25
Speaker 1: of that committee. He had access to the most sensitive
30:27
Speaker 1: secrets we have that most members of Congress don't get.
30:32
Speaker 1: And it is stunning how he behaved with them because
30:37
Speaker 1: he took that classified information he had, and he abused
30:41
Speaker 1: that position of trust, because he went in front of
30:43
Speaker 1: the American people and repeatedly lied about it over and
30:47
Speaker 1: over again. Hunter Biden's laptop, he said, it's not true,
30:49
Speaker 1: it's Russian disinformation. That was a lie, and he knew
30:52
Speaker 1: it was, and he knew it was. He also he
30:56
Speaker 1: nobody pushed the Russia hoax more than Adams ship, and
31:00
Speaker 1: he knew the intelligence didn't back it up. Not only that,
31:03
Speaker 1: we now know through the Twitter files that Shift was
31:06
Speaker 1: actively urging Twitter to pull down anyone who disagreed with
31:13
Speaker 1: the disinformation he was pushing. He was urging Twitter to
31:17
Speaker 1: call anyone challenging the Devinnunis memo to call them a
31:21
Speaker 1: Russian bot. Twitter was telling him, but wait, they're not
31:25
Speaker 1: Russian bots. That's not, in fact accurate. But Shift didn't care.
31:28
Speaker 1: He used that position, that access to classified information, and
31:33
Speaker 1: he abused it. It's hard to refute somebody because so
31:37
Speaker 1: few see this information. I think he understood that right
31:40
Speaker 1: for people to understand the game he was playing. It
31:41
Speaker 1: was like, who can refute me? Because there's so few
31:44
Speaker 1: to get to see this stuff. Look, the only thing
31:48
Speaker 1: worse Shift could have done with his access to important secrets.
31:54
Speaker 1: About the only thing worse you could imagine him doing
31:57
Speaker 1: is banging a Chinese spy. That would be Eric Swalwell.
32:01
Speaker 1: I'd like to do that well, but but but Schiff
32:03
Speaker 1: had a pretty powerful defense of it. He did. He
32:06
Speaker 1: came out, this was amazing. Take a look. I do
32:09
Speaker 1: want to mention, with respect to mister Swawell also that I,
32:13
Speaker 1: as he indicated, I sat in on that briefing um
32:16
Speaker 1: and when Kevin McCarthy misrepresents it, um and uh and
32:23
Speaker 1: does that disservice the American people, it's shameful. Mister Swawell
32:29
Speaker 1: has served honorably on our committee, has never been accused
32:31
Speaker 1: of any kind of wrongdoing. This is a patently unfair
32:35
Speaker 1: smear by miss McCarthy. But that's that's what he trafficks in,
32:39
Speaker 1: and that's that's what we're seeing. Never never been accused
32:42
Speaker 1: of any wrongdoing except for sleeping with an actual Chinese spy.
32:47
Speaker 1: And we're not talking theoretical. Her name was Fang Fang
32:50
Speaker 1: And my understanding, though I have not actually seen the
32:55
Speaker 1: classified briefing on this, but my understanding from the press
32:58
Speaker 1: coverage is she was an actual spy working for the
33:01
Speaker 1: Chinese Communist government, assigned to spy on Eric Swalwell. And
33:06
Speaker 1: mind you, what are the Democrats saying, oh, let he
33:09
Speaker 1: should be on the Intel committee. He was on the
33:10
Speaker 1: Intelligence committee. He should have access to the most secure secrets.
33:16
Speaker 1: Even though and listen, we've talked about on this podcast
33:22
Speaker 1: how structurally the Democrat Party today is pro China. Their
33:29
Speaker 1: major constituencies, they're major stakeholders, big business, big tech, big entertainment,
33:35
Speaker 1: big big university, TikTok that they are all in bed
33:41
Speaker 1: with China. And we've said the Democrat Party today is
33:44
Speaker 1: in bed with China. Eric Swalwell just took that a
33:47
Speaker 1: little too literally. I got it. There's been a lot
33:53
Speaker 1: about classified documents, and just so people understand the abuse
33:57
Speaker 1: here and how much he was abusing his position of power,
34:01
Speaker 1: and I'm referring to Adam Shift here obviously, and what
34:04
Speaker 1: he was doing. If you go in and you get
34:06
Speaker 1: to see stuff because you're in the intel command the
34:08
Speaker 1: house this sent side, are you allowed to walk out
34:12
Speaker 1: legally and talk to your colleagues who do not directly
34:15
Speaker 1: have access to that information. How does top secret information work?
34:20
Speaker 1: Because what he was doing was basically looking at it,
34:23
Speaker 1: making up things that didn't exist, and then telling the
34:26
Speaker 1: entire country about it. He'd go on national television and
34:29
Speaker 1: he would say things that were one hundred and eighty
34:32
Speaker 1: degrees opposite what he knew to be the case. And
34:36
Speaker 1: so he wasn't abusing it in the sense of what
34:41
Speaker 1: Joe Biden was doing, which is leaving classified documents next
34:44
Speaker 1: to his corvette. That's a different kind of violation. But
34:48
Speaker 1: what he was doing was abusing his power because he
34:51
Speaker 1: had access to that information. He had a level of
34:54
Speaker 1: credibility that when he went on a Sunday show and
34:57
Speaker 1: he said, here's what the intelligence tells us, people are like, oh, okay, well,
35:01
Speaker 1: he's in a position to know. And his willingness to
35:07
Speaker 1: just flat out lie. It reminds me of the old
35:10
Speaker 1: backhanded compliment of Bill Clinton he's an unusually good liar. Yeah. Well,
35:15
Speaker 1: and by the way, it speaks volumes now that in
35:19
Speaker 1: the wake of being thrown off off the Intelligence Committee,
35:23
Speaker 1: what is Adam Schiff doing running for Senate in the
35:26
Speaker 1: state of California. Get it, get a promotion right, it's
35:30
Speaker 1: he wants to he wants to come come to the
35:33
Speaker 1: other side. He's running for Diane Feinstein's seat. So we'll
35:36
Speaker 1: see what happens. And who knows, maybe with California Democrat
35:39
Speaker 1: primary voters being a dishonest, hardcore left wing partisan, that
35:45
Speaker 1: that might be a very attractive credential. Sadly with that
35:50
Speaker 1: radicalized primary voter. Lastly, there's two quick things I want
35:54
Speaker 1: to want to get your take on. One of them
35:57
Speaker 1: was pretty shocking. It deals with religion. There was this
36:00
Speaker 1: new poll put out and it's very different to see
36:03
Speaker 1: how Republicans conservatives look at faith and how Democrats look
36:08
Speaker 1: at faith. And I want to throw this up there
36:10
Speaker 1: for people so they can see this because Democrats literally
36:13
Speaker 1: have and this is again coming from David Bernstein after
36:17
Speaker 1: looking at this poll, Democrats literally have a more favorable
36:20
Speaker 1: view of Wicca and witches than of orthodox Judaism and Jews.
36:27
Speaker 1: You look at Republicans the top line there, do you
36:30
Speaker 1: have a favorable one in the following groups? Christianity, Democrats
36:34
Speaker 1: plus twenty nine Republicans totally different plus fifty four. Now
36:40
Speaker 1: this to me is shocking. Catholicism six percent plus for Democrats,
36:45
Speaker 1: twenty nine for Republicans. These are numbers that terrify me
36:50
Speaker 1: about to say, of this country and where we're heading
36:52
Speaker 1: when it comes to lack of faith. Yeah, Look, the
36:54
Speaker 1: Democrat party today is a party where hostility to faith
36:58
Speaker 1: is normalized. And so this question, this was a national
37:02
Speaker 1: poll done on you gov and it was just asked,
37:04
Speaker 1: do you have a favorable or unfavorable view of the
37:07
Speaker 1: following faiths? And so not controversial by the way, that's
37:11
Speaker 1: a pretty simple question. So when you ask Democrats, they
37:16
Speaker 1: have a favorable unfavorable view of Protestantism plus twelve. When
37:24
Speaker 1: you ask Catholicism plus six, which means almost as many
37:30
Speaker 1: Democrats have a negative view of Catholicism as have a
37:33
Speaker 1: positive view. By the way, contrast that to Buddhism, Yeah,
37:39
Speaker 1: where Democrats have a plus twenty nine. So Democrats are
37:44
Speaker 1: much much more hostile to Catholics than they are to
37:48
Speaker 1: Buddhism or Agnostics. Let's take a look at agnostics plus
37:52
Speaker 1: twenty four. They love them some agnostics. Yet you look
37:56
Speaker 1: at Amash for example, look at the difference between Republicans
37:58
Speaker 1: and Democrats. There negative one for Democrats plus twenty four
38:03
Speaker 1: for Republicans, Atheists Democrats plus thirteen. But then it's interesting
38:12
Speaker 1: Southern Baptist. You and I are both Southern Baptists minus seventeen.
38:17
Speaker 1: Democrats hate them, some Southern Baptists, And it really is striking.
38:23
Speaker 1: So if you look at Orthodox Judaism, Democrats have a
38:29
Speaker 1: negative three view of Orthodox Judaism, which means more Democrats
38:35
Speaker 1: have a negative view of Orthodox Jews than positive view.
38:38
Speaker 1: What is their view of Wickawicko, by the way, is witchcraft? Yes,
38:42
Speaker 1: and that would be plus two, so it is it
38:44
Speaker 1: is true. They literally have a more favorable view of
38:48
Speaker 1: witchcraft than Orthodox Judaism. And I got to say this is,
38:54
Speaker 1: by the way, Democrats also for Mormons, have a negative
39:01
Speaker 1: twenty seven. So they hate Mormons, they hate Southern Baptists,
39:05
Speaker 1: but they love Buddhists, they love Atheists, they love Agnostics,
39:09
Speaker 1: and they even love witches more than Orthodox Jews. This
39:14
Speaker 1: is frightening. This is frightening. It explains some of the
39:18
Speaker 1: divide in our country because the numbers are very very different.
39:22
Speaker 1: Party affiliation is a good predictor for what you think
39:26
Speaker 1: about faith. But but I gotta say, I sincerely wish
39:34
Speaker 1: both parties respected people of faith, and we're willing to
39:39
Speaker 1: defend your right to live according to your faith and
39:42
Speaker 1: your conscience. And the hostility Democrats have towards faith. This
39:47
Speaker 1: is some of why its traditional values is traditional families.
39:51
Speaker 1: It's traditional what makes I think America great. That's what
39:56
Speaker 1: the Democratic Party is saying. We are openly and adamantly against,
40:00
Speaker 1: and that should be saying I think people should be
40:02
Speaker 1: looking at in elections moving forward. There's one other video
40:05
Speaker 1: I have to I have to show everybody because it's
40:08
Speaker 1: just too good not to. You've got and you and
40:12
Speaker 1: I were laughing about this before the show, because if
40:14
Speaker 1: you want to know how easy it is to get
40:17
Speaker 1: a job, to get nominated for a good job and
40:20
Speaker 1: the Biden administration, just look at this video of some
40:25
Speaker 1: simple questions being asked to some nominees and a senator.
40:28
Speaker 1: And this is this week. This is a hearing of
40:31
Speaker 1: the Senate Judiciary Committee this week for a Biden nominee
40:35
Speaker 1: to be a federal judge. So presumably your nominee to
40:38
Speaker 1: be a federal judge something. Yeah, come on, a big deal.
40:42
Speaker 1: Let's see how it went. Thank you, mister Chairman, and
40:45
Speaker 1: congratulations to all of you. Judge on the far end,
40:57
Speaker 1: tell me what article five of the Constitution does. Article
41:05
Speaker 1: five is not coming to mind at the moment. Okay,
41:08
Speaker 1: how about Article two? Neither is article two? Okay, do
41:21
Speaker 1: you know what purposivism is? In my twelve years as
41:30
Speaker 1: an assistant Attorney General and my nine years serving as
41:34
Speaker 1: a judge, I was not faced with that precise question.
41:39
Speaker 1: We are the highest trial court in Washington State, so
41:42
Speaker 1: I'm frequently faced with issues that I'm not familiar with,
41:46
Speaker 1: and I thoroughly review the law, our research, and apply
41:51
Speaker 1: the law to the facts presented to me. Well, you're
41:53
Speaker 1: going to be faced with it as if you're confirmed.
41:56
Speaker 1: I can assure you that. Look, I gotta say, this
42:01
Speaker 1: woman is wildly unqualified to be a judge. And let's
42:07
Speaker 1: talk about So the Constitution has seven articles. John Kennedy,
42:16
Speaker 1: who is a dear friend. He's a brilliant legal scholar.
42:18
Speaker 1: Actually he has you know, a bit of an accent
42:21
Speaker 1: and kind of does a Mattlocke, you know, good old boy.
42:24
Speaker 1: But he's wicked smart. And his question he begins with
42:29
Speaker 1: Article five. Look, Article five is the article in the
42:31
Speaker 1: Constitution that lays out how you amend the Constitution, and
42:35
Speaker 1: it's the process that whereby we amend the Constitution. She
42:40
Speaker 1: apparently didn't know that. That's not if you're an attorney.
42:44
Speaker 1: That's a somewhat of a big deal. Can we can
42:46
Speaker 1: we agree on that? As big a deal as it is.
42:49
Speaker 1: Her next question is an even bigger deal. So the
42:54
Speaker 1: first three articles of the Constitution. Article one establishes the
42:58
Speaker 1: legislative branch. All legislative power is vested in the Congress.
43:03
Speaker 1: That's what Article one does. Article two is the executive
43:07
Speaker 1: branch of our federal government. It is the President of
43:09
Speaker 1: the United States. It is all of the executive branch.
43:12
Speaker 1: An Article three, by the way, is the judiciary. She
43:16
Speaker 1: has been nominated to be what's called an Article three judge.
43:21
Speaker 1: That's a very particular kind of judge. That's a federal
43:24
Speaker 1: judge with life tenure. She's been nominated to be an
43:27
Speaker 1: Article three judge, although I'm quite certain she has no
43:31
Speaker 1: idea what that means. And it shows this administration's nominees.
43:38
Speaker 1: They have consistently been number one, very much affirmative action picks.
43:42
Speaker 1: They care intensely about the race and gender and sexual
43:48
Speaker 1: orientation much more than anything resembling qualifications or judicial temperament
43:54
Speaker 1: or skill. But they also care even more than bean counting.
44:00
Speaker 1: They want radicals, and they have nominated I've never seen
44:03
Speaker 1: judicial nominees this radical. You know, when Obama was president,
44:07
Speaker 1: I was not a fan of his judicial nominees. Biden
44:10
Speaker 1: has made the Obama nominees look normal of the road. Yeah,
44:16
Speaker 1: for her not to know what Article two of the
44:19
Speaker 1: Constitution is, I don't even the idea. This isn't an
44:26
Speaker 1: a whole question. This is not an I got you question.
44:30
Speaker 1: This isn't like saying to somebody name the random leader
44:32
Speaker 1: of a certain country, or just to make you look
44:34
Speaker 1: bad or embarrass you asking someone what Article two of
44:38
Speaker 1: the Constitution is. If you're a lawyer, you should know that,
44:42
Speaker 1: especially if you want to be a federal judge. This
44:45
Speaker 1: is not Look, there are questions you could ask that
44:49
Speaker 1: are subtle got you questions. Yeah, what's Article two of
44:53
Speaker 1: the Constitution ain't one of them. It's stunning. And by
44:59
Speaker 1: the way, prediction is every Democrat will vote to confirm her,
45:03
Speaker 1: because in two years, do you know how many Democrats
45:06
Speaker 1: have voted against a Biden judicial nominee. I'm guessing Warner
45:10
Speaker 1: zero zero. So it's just they walk in the door.
45:14
Speaker 1: Didn't matter what they say, what they do or don't know,
45:17
Speaker 1: because the press won't cover it. This isn't on the news.
45:20
Speaker 1: By the way, John Kennedy did this to a Trump nominee,
45:24
Speaker 1: a Trump nominee where he asked a question about trial
45:29
Speaker 1: practice and the Trump nominee didn't know the answer and
45:32
Speaker 1: it was boom okay number one. Watching it, it was
45:36
Speaker 1: like watching a trainwreck in slow motion. Trump White House
45:42
Speaker 1: withdrew the nomination. That's actually if we had a functioning executive,
45:48
Speaker 1: if the article too branch was actually working, Yeah, they
45:52
Speaker 1: would know. Okay, I'm sorry this. She can't be a judge,
45:56
Speaker 1: but they don't care. My prediction is every Democrat I'll
46:00
Speaker 1: stick with her. Oh she doesn't need to know a
46:02
Speaker 1: damn thing about the Constitution. Her job is to let
46:04
Speaker 1: criminals go. She can do that without knowing anything about
46:07
Speaker 1: the Constitution. It must be nice, easiest way to get
46:09
Speaker 1: a job, that's for sure, Senator. Always a pleasure to
