• 0:41
  Speaker 2: Here's my prediction. We will get this done and by
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: the end of the day Monday, the One Big Beautiful
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: Bill will pass the United States Senate. It will have major,
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: major victories for the American people, major victories for President
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: Trump's agenda. We're going to break down what is likely
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: to be in it, and we're also going to talk
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: about three major Supreme Court decisions that came down on Friday.
• 1:06

• 1:18
  Speaker 1: big beautiful bill. In just a moment, I want to
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: talk to you real quick about a really awesome company.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: Two of my good friends started this, Buck Sexton and
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: Clay Travis because they were sick and tired of just
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: getting an average cup of coffee. Look good coffee, it's
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: easy to find, but great tasting coffee is so much
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: harder to discover. And they sent me some Crockett coffee
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: and I was like, all right, I'm going to try it.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: It's my friend's company. How good is it? Let me
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: just tell you it was special. Crocket Coffee is roasted
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: to perfection in small batches on purpose by experts who

  Speaker 1: love it all right. So the big beautiful bill, it's
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: becoming real. It's in the Senate. What excites you the
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: most about what's in this bill? Center that people need
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: to know about.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: Well, this bill is the principal vehicle to advance President
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: Trump's agenda, the mandate we had coming out of the election. Now,
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: let me tell you procedurally where we are. Saturday night,
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: at seven thirty, the Senate took it up. We needed
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: at least fifty votes to move forward. There was a
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: lot of drama. It was not clear that we were
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: going to have fifty votes at the end of the day,
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: and it was about midnight on Saturday night. We ended
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: up with fifty one votes. Two Republicans voted no, Rand
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: Paul voted no, and Tom Tillis voted no. Rand was
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: always going to vote no. Rand has said from the
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: beginning he's going to vote no against anything in this bill.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: It's frustrat rating Rand as a friend, but his vote
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: is hard no, no matter what. So he's off the table.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: So we basically have fifty two Republicans to work with
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: Tom Tillis. Tom Tillis has been very vocal that he's
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: concerned about Medicaid and he wants fewer cuts and Medicaid spending.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: I don't agree with Tom on this, but he certainly
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: has a right to his view. Tom's good man. That
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: debate will be ongoing. What will happen next? So the
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: Democrats objected. Normally, there's a pretty standard motion in the
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: Senate where you ask unanimous consent to waive the reading
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: of the bill. Well, the Democrats objected to that. So
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: what is happening is a poor clerk of the Court
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: or a clerk of the Senate rather has to sit
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: there and read a thousand page bill. And so all
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: night Saturday night, at one am, two am, three am,
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: four am, five am, a clerk of the Court is
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: reading page after page of a thousand page bill. They're
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: going to read the entirety of the bill. That'll take
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: ten to twelve hours. We will then shortly thereafter. So
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: the Democrats then have ten hours of debate where they're
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: all going to stand up and then the preview that
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: they're going to say on Sundays, they're going to say
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: Republicans are horrible. They're going to say Republicans are throwing
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: Grinny off the cliff. They're going to say Republicans hate poor, kids,
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: hate people with disabilities, hate women, children, men, old people,
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: young people, puppies, kittens, everyone and everything. They're going to
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: say that. They're going to attack this bill like crazy.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: But then their ten hours are going to be up
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: and the Democrats can't stop it. What happens next, and
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: this will happen Sunday evening, It'll extend all night Sunday,
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: It'll extend into Monday morning. This podcast will come out.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: My prediction is this podcast will come out and we'll
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: still be voting. Will end voting sometime between midnight one, two, three,
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: four am, five am. It could be as late as seven, eight, nine,
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: ten am on Monday, It depends how long the Democrats delay.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: One of the weird things about budget reconciliation, the entire
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: process proceeds under the Budget Act in nineteen seventy four.
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: The reason reconciliation matters, there's a lot of procedural gobbledygook
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: that doesn't matter, but the reason it matters, it's the
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: principal exception to the Senate filibuster. The ordinary rules in
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: the Senate are that you need sixty votes to proceed
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: on legislation. We don't have sixty Republicans. We only have
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: fifty three. So to get sixty votes you need seven Democrats.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: Seven Democrats are not going to agree to do anything
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: positive for America right now, which means budget reconciliation is
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: the main way to get around that. Under the rules
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: of budget reconciliation, the Democrats can offer unlimited amendments. So
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: they're going to offer every horrible amendment they can. And
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: they're literally sitting there drafting, Okay, what amendment can we
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: craft that makes Republicans take a terrible vote, makes Republicans
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: take a vote that then will run TV ads and
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: attack them and try to beat them in November. That'll
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: happen all night.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: It'll happen till that gamesmanship.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: And by the way, both sides do this. So when
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: the Democrats are in control, they use budget reconciliation. They
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: used it multiple times. They spent trillions of dollars through
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: budget reconciliation. The so called Inflation Reduction Act was passed
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: through budget reconciliation. And so look, we teed up all
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: sorts of terrible votes, which frankly, we ran campaign ads
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: against them and beat them in November on that, and
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: so there is value in forcing your opponents to vote
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: on things they don't want to vote for, particularly when
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: your opponents are embracing on popular positions. In this case,
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: they'll try to tee up bad amendments and hopefully Republicans
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: will rally together and reject those amendments. I expect that
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: all one hundred senators, and by the way, the median
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: age is about one hundred and six, so that that
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: says something. At the end of the day, I believe
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: we'll get this done. We'll see I mean, look, this
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: podcast will come out and when we'll find out if
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: my prediction is right or wrong. But I think we'll
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: get it done. And there's a lot of good elements
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: in this bill. This bill number one avoids a four
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: trillion dollar tax increase. If we did nothing at the
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: end of this year, there would be an automatic four
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: trillion dollar tax increase. The entire twenty seventeen Trump tax
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: cuts would expire, and so a huge purpose of this
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: bill is to avoid that to keep taxes low. This
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: bill also embodies and enacts many of the key tax
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: cut promises President Trump made. So, for example, this bill
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: includes no taxes on tips, that's my legislation. I wrote
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: that legislation was President Trump's promise, but I wrote the
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: bill that is in this bill, we're going to get
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: it passed. It also includes no taxes on Social Security
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: and no taxes on overtime. Both of those are huge
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: working class, blue collar victories. President Trump campaigned on them,
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: and I think we're going to deliver them. Beyond that,
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: this bill is also the vehicle to secure the border.
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: There's one hundred and fifty billion dollars in funding to
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: secure the border, to build the wall, to hire more
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: border patrol agents, hire more ICE agents, to deploy more
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: technology at the border. That is a big deal. On
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: top of that, there's another one hundred and fifty billion
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: dollars to rebuild the military, to invest in defeating China,
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: defeating our adversaries, to invest in hypersonics, to invest in
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: in the next generation of military defense. Historically, the Democrats
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: keep defense hostage. So the battle that you have in
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: Washington classically is between guns and butter. Where Republicans care
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: about guns, we care about actually defending the nation, supporting
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: our military. The Democrats by and large don't care about that,
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: and they try to hold defense spending hostage to push
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: for more domestic spending, more welfare. They are the party
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: of welfare. They are the party of big spending. We're
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: making a major investment in the military precisely because the
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: Democrats can't hold that hostage. And then there are a
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: ton of other priorities, including three huge priorities of mine
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: legislation that I introduce that are in this bill. Number one,
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: auctioning off eight hundred megahertz of spectrum. Why does that matter?
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: What does that mean? Auctioning off spectrum? Look, electromagnetic spectrum
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: is how all of our electronic devices communicate. It's how
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: Wi Fi operates, it's how you get your cell phone operates,
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: it's how you get streaming. And sixty percent of the
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: most valuable spectrum is controlled by the federal government. I
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: wrote the provision in this bill that mandates the federal
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: government sell a significant chunk of that spectrum to the
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: private sector. That's going to do a couple of things. Man.
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: Number One, it's going to produce I believe over one
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: hundred billion dollars in real revenue to the tax payer.
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: Money that will pay down the deficit, pay down the debt.
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: So that's real revenue of the federal government. But number two,
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: even more importantly, it will unleash billions of dollars of
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: private sector investment and create hundreds of thousands of jobs
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: because America needs to win the race for six G,
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: which is the next generation of telecom, and beat China.
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: That is in this bill. And then there are two
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: other provisions we've talked about, both of which I've authored.
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: Number one is school choice, and this bill has the
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: most significant federal school choice provision ever written in the law.
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: I wrote it. As we speak now, I'm battling with
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: the Senate parliamentarian to keep that in the bill. I
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: believe we will keep that in the bill. And that investment.
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: I think school choice is the civil rights issue of
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: the twenty first century. And finally, there are the invest
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: America Accounts, the Trump accounts, where this bill will create
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: a private investment account for every child in America, will
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: seed it with one thousand dollars, will allow family and
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: employers and parents to contribute five thousand dollars a year
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: in a tax advantage fund. That fund will be invested
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: in the S and P. Five hundred. It will grow
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: with compound growth, and it will make a whole new
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: generation of capitalists. I actually think this provision. It's a
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: very small part of the bill. I think ten twenty
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: thirty years from now, it will be the single most
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: impactful part of the bill because it will we will
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: have a whole generation of kids who have built up
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: savings and investment in the market. They will be owners
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: of the major employers in America that's in the bill.
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: I'm really excited about it.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: It's gonna be, as you said, one of the core
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: things I think for Donald Trump. In a victory for
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: him and for the American people, how significant do you
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: think the boost could be just to the rest of
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: the agenda of putting America First a mag agenda because
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: of this big victory I say early on his administration. Yes,
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: we're well past one hundred days. It takes time to
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: get these things done, but this could also be momentum
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: building for other agenda items. Am I wrong?
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: You're not wrong, And listen, I expect we're going to
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: take up other reconciliation bills over the next year and
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: a half. Why because reconciliation is the biggest exception to
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: the filibuster. So it's the way we can legislate and
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: get victories. But this bill has massive victories in it. Now.
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: Some conservatives, including me, have argued we should cut spending more.
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: I agree with that. I have leaned in hard on
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: cut spending, cut spending. I've made that case to my colleagues.
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: I wish we were cutting spending more. But at the
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: end of the day, we are reducing spending some we
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: need to do more, and we are cutting taxes in
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: a profound way, and we are winning major victories for
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: President Trump's agenda. There's a reason President Trump is all
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: in behind this bill, and so I think we're gonna
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: get it done. I don't know if it'll be signed
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: in a law by July fourth, but I think if
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: the Senate gets it done on Monday, there's a real
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: chance the House will come back and just pass the bill,
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: and we could see on the fourth of July President
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: Trump signing this into law.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: I want to move to the other big story as well,
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: and this one deals with the Supreme Court. The Supreme
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: Court's term has come to an end, and there was
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: a major not just win, but wins for President Trump
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: and also the rule of law. I love talking Supreme
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: Court with you and I mean, this is a compliment.
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: You get to geek out on it because you clirk there.
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: Take us into what just happened and how significant were
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: some of these major decisions.
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, there are a few things more wonderful
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: than an old miss varsity tennis player calling me a geek.
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: But you know, the truth hurts, and so I will
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: happily do that. So there were three major decisions from
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: the Supreme Court came down the end of last week.
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: All three were victories. The most most important was a
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: decision on President Trump's Birthright Citizenship Executive Order, and the
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: punchline is the Court dramatically reigned in the ability of
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: district courts to issue nationwide injunctions, universal injunctions. We're going
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: to break all that down momentarily. There was also a
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: big victory that held that the parents of public school
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: children can opt out of LGBT curriculum. It's a big
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: win for religious liberty, big win for parental rights. And finally,
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: one other decision upheld a Texas law, so Texas pastor
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: law requiring age verification for porn sites that was challenged
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: as unconstitutional in the Supreme Court upheld that six' three as.
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: Well so three big victories really, important all.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: Right so let's start with universal injunctions and The trump
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: The cossack. Case this is, also by the, way something
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: that you you share the subcommittee hearing on that very
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: issue earlier this. Month so explain why this is such
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: an important issue for everyone.
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: Listening, well this was a case Challenging President trump's executive
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: order on birthright. Citizenship birthright citizenship is the law that
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: says that a baby born In america is A us,
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: citizen even if that baby's parents are, illegal even if
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: they came illegally precisely to have that baby In. America,
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: nonetheless that baby is A us. Citizen as a policy,
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: MATTER i think that is a very foolish. Policy it
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: is a policy that incentivizes illegal. Immigration you see, PEOPLE
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: i spend a lot of time at the southern. BORDER
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: i go go out on midnight patrols with the border patrol.
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: Agents we see everyday pregnant women coming across the, border,
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: illegally coming, across being brought in by human traffickers with
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: the express purpose of coming here to have their baby In.
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: America because that baby then becomes an anchor, baby that
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: baby comes A us. Citizen that doesn't make any. Sense
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: and by the, way most of the other countries On
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: earth don't have that. Policy if you sneak into another country,
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: illegally most other countries don't make them a citizen of that.
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: Country it is an accident Of american history that our
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: law has done, that and so for more than a
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: DECADE i have advocating for ending birthright. Citizenship, now ben
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: there is an open legal debate about how you can
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: end birthright. Citizenship there are some legal scholars who argue
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: it can only be done through a constitutional. Amendment and
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: the reason is part of the predicate for birthright citizenship
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: is the language of The Fourteenth amendment that talks about
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: granting citizenship to people born In. America, now there's a
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: phrase in The Fourteenth amendment which is subject to the jurisdiction,
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: thereof and legal scholars argue back and. Forth some say
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: you can only change birthright citizenship through a constitutional. Amendment
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: that's the, case we should have an amendment because it's
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: a policy that is. Foolish others Say congress can pass
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: legislation to end birthright citizenship because someone who comes here
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: illegally is not subject to the jurisdiction thereof is not
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: subject To american, jurisdiction but rather came here. Illegally i've
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: introduced legislation to end birthright citizenship through. Legislation What President
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: trump has done is he's tried to do it a third,
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: way which is through an executive. Order that's going to
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: be a harder hurdle to get to get, through but
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: he's trying to do, it and on the policy, grounds
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: he is exactly. Right so what happened, is in this,
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: case there was a lawsuit Challenging President trump's executive order
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: purporting to eliminate birthright, citizenship and the district judge issued
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: a nationwide, injunction a so called universal. Injunction so, ordinarily
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: courts have jurisdiction have authority over the parties in front of.
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: Them so if you have two parties in a car
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: wreck and they crash into each other and one party
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: sues the, other the court has jurisdiction over those two
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: parties to, Say, okay you're at, fault you pay for
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: the repairs and the medical bills of the person. Injured
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: that is called under The Constitution article three of The.
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: Constitution courts are given jurisdiction over cases and, controversies so
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: actual disputes between real. People what the district judge did
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: in this case is issued an injunction Prohibiting Donald trump
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: and prohibiting the entire federal government from enforcing The Birthright
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: Citizenship Executive order against, anybody not just against the parties
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: in front of the, court but three hundred and thirty
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: million people in this. Country the court, said you cannot
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: enforce this against. Anybody it is a universal. Injunction that
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: is something that for the first one hundred plus years
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: of our country never. Occurred universal injunctions began occurring more,
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: frequently but not that much more. Frequently there have been
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: over forty universal injunctions issued Against Donald trump in the
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: first five months of his. Presidency, now, now how does
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: that compare to the historical. Record there are more universal
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: injunctions that have been issued Against President trump than were
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: issued in the entire twentieth century from nineteen hundred to two.
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: Thousand there have been more in the last five months
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: than there were in those one hundred. Years there have
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: been more universal injunctions issued Against President. Trump then we're
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: issued against all eight years Of GEORGE. W Bush all
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: eight years Of Barack obama and all four years Of Joe.
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: Biden five Months trump has even more than. That it
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: has been an abuse of. Power and as you, NOTED
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: i have been very. Vocal i've been laying out the.
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: CASE i chaired A judiciary committee hearing focused on exactly
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: this abuse of. Power this is the next wave of
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: law Fel during the last four, years we Saw democrat
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: prosecutors Indicting Donald, trump that was using the courts to
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: attack their political enemy to try to stop the voters
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: from Reelecting Donald. Trump that didn't, Work they failed Once
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: President trump was. Reelected this was the next iteration of.
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: Lawfare Get democrat attorneys, general get left wing radical groups
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: to go seek out radical district judges put on the
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: bench By Joe biden And Barack obama to issue injunctions
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: and shut down the Entire trump agenda because and, understand
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: These democrat attorneys, general they don't believe in. Democracy they
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: don't believe the voters have a right to decide this
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: is what we want and to elect someone to carry it. Out,
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: instead they want courts to stand in the. Way, well
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: you AND i talked about an earlier podcast WHAT i
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: thought was likely here and WHAT i predicted on this,
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: podcast AS i, SAID i think The Supreme court is
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: going to reign in versal. Injunctions The Supreme court is
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: going to make clear this is an abuse of. Power
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: so it's really optimistic because in terms of the tools
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: we have to reign in universal, injunctions The Supreme court
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: acting is by far the. Best well On friday they.
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: Did their decision was. Fantastic it was six'. To three
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: the decision was Written By Amy. Cony barrett it is
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: the most important opinion she has written in her tenure On,
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: the court and it is. Very strong it makes clear
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: that individual district judges do not have the, legal authority
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: they don't have the jurisdiction to issue. Universal injunctions that
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: is a massive victory for the rule, of law and
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: it is a massive blow against the lawfare that the
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: radical left is Waging Against. President, trump yeah no doubt.
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: About it and that wasn't the only victory that. Came
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: down another one was a free speech Coalition, versus paxton
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: and this was a case Out of texas Where The
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: supreme court came down six to three and they Held
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: that texas age verification law where you have to verify
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: your age to be on a, pornographic website is in.
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: Fact constitutional this is really, a huge, i think build
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: off to something that you work so hard on that
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: there was bipartisan, support for which was to take It,
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: down act and this really coupled, with that is a
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: significant move By The united states to protect kids under
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: the age.
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: Of eighteen that's, Exactly, Right ben YOU and i are.
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: Both parents YOU and i are. Both dads it's scary
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: to be a parent right now because, our kids when
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: our kids get to, be teenagers we give, them phones
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: and phones are just this portal to everything evil and
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: horrible in, the world the pressures that are on. Our
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: kids when YOU and i, were young the biggest thing
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: you had to worry about was the kid down the
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: street punching you in the nose and giving you a.
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: Bloody nose and that, wasn't fun but it did end.
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: Your life your nose healed and you. Were, fine today
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: our kids deal with they deal with sexual predators online
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: that they deal with social media pushing all sorts of
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: negative content, to them pushing, self harm pushing, suicidal ideation pushing,
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: substance abuse, alcohol abuse, drug abuse pushing. Body, Image look
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: i'm the dad of, two daughters and there's so much
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: garbage online telling young girls you're, too fat you're, too ugly,
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: you're this, you're that and it does real damage, and,
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: depression anxiety all the pressures that are directed. At kids
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: and one of the pressures that are directed at kids
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: is there is so much sexual content that is just
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: bombarding children and bombarding sometimes. Young kids and so the
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: State of texas passed. A law i think it's a
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: very common sense law that says if you have a
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: site that is putting pornography online that you have to
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: verify if the users are over eighteen, or not that
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: you should not be pushing out porn. To kids. And
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: listen when it comes to questions of, Free speech i'm.
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: VERY libertarian i think adults have a right, to speak
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: and if they want to go back and forth on issues,
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: like this. Adults can but pushing porn to kids, is
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: wrong and children the content now is just it, is
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: graphic it, is grotesque and it bombards. Our kids And
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: so texas passed a law, that said if you want
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: to push it, to adults, you can but you can't
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: push it. To kids and there was. A lawsuit there
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: was a lawsuit, that, said look we have a right
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: to give five year olds, graphic porn And The supreme
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: court Six' three clarence thomas wrote, the majority, opinion said
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: no there's Nothing In the first amendment that says you
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: have the right to push pornography, to young children and
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: states have a reasonable interest. IN protecting kids i think
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: that's a common. Sense of victory and, On Free speech
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: i'm i'm a, free SPEECH absolutist but i also think
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: there is room for protecting children when it. Comes to
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: adults adults are welcome to consume all, sorts of content
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: but there's, no, reason, five, six seven eight nine year
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: olds should be it should be seeing all the. Garbage
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: that's there i'm really gratified this was. An, important decision yeah.
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: It really, was and finally the other one that, you
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: mentioned earlier this one for me is so important for
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: parental rights and getting parnal rights back in our public
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: schools because there was a massive fight where parents were
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: saying we should be able to opt our kids OUT
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: of this. Lgbtq plus curriculum there, was a lawsuit It Went.
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: To supreme court it favored on the side of parents.
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: Six to three this was massive for. So many parents
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: they're concerned about their kids being indoctrinated by.
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: The. Radical left yeah this case Arose Out of Montgomery,
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: county In Maryland and montgomery county has a, very, Diverse
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: population Uh And the Montgomery, county, school board unfortunately is
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: one of the more woke School. Boards in america and
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: so they put in PLACE an aggressive lgbtq curriculum and.
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: They mandated it and we're not, talking high schoolers we're,
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: talking young kids kids kindergarten. Through fifth grade and they
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: pushed content that that THAT was, pushing lgbt content that
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: was pushing transgender content, to, little, children, five six seven,
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: eight year olds and a group, of, parents said hey.
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: This is wrong a group of parents And, they included Catholics.
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: They included, muslims they said we don't want, our school
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: indoctrinating brainwashing our kids that that you think it's great
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: to be. To be transgender you, think it's great like
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: if you're a boy one day you think. You're a
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: girl it's not the school's job to tell our five
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: year olds. That's your ideology and so they sued and the, school,
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: board said basically go jump. In a lake we're going to,
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: indoctrinate your kids and you. Have no right, and on
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: appeal the well the district Court and The court of
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: appeals both both ruled against the parents and said they.
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: Had no right and it Went To, the supreme Court
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: And the supreme court six' three upheld the right of
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: the parents to opt. Out of that curriculum, and, the
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: court said quote because it has long recognized the rights
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: of parents to direct the religious. Upbringing of their children
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: the court concluded that the parents are likely to succeed
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: on the claim that the board's policies unconstitutionally. Burdens their
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: religious exercise alito wrote the majority opinion for, a six'
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: three court and they said that parents' rights are violated
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: when the government quote substantially interferes. With their children's religious
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: development and so this is a. Great, protection for parental
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: rights look parents ought to be in charge of what is.
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: Being taught to their kids it's also a. Great victory
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: for religious liberty if a parent wants to teach kids that,
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: to embrace A radical agenda whether, on lgbt or anything
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: else a parent has. A right to do that but
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: the school system should not be in doctrining children and
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: particularly young children kindergarteners is. What this case was about
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: and so, this is a big victory three big, victories
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: for our, constitutional rights for common sense and all three
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: of them were Six' three out. Of the spring court.

• 30:12
  Speaker 1: it's why president's elections are so, important because when things
