• 0:01
  Speaker 1: Welcome.
• 0:01
  Speaker 2: It is Verdict with Sentater, Ted Kruz, Ben Ferguson with
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: You Center. There is big news from Capitol Hill today
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: that you get to break.
• 0:10
  Speaker 3: Well, that's exactly right.
• 0:11
  Speaker 4: First of all, the news that is consuming the globe,
• 0:14
  Speaker 4: which is Joe Biden, continues in free fall. It keeps
• 0:17
  Speaker 4: getting worse and worse and worse. There's the disastrous Big
• 0:20
  Speaker 4: Boy press conference. But beyond that, there is the cabinet
• 0:25
  Speaker 4: now leaking on him that they haven't had a cabinet
• 0:27
  Speaker 4: meeting in eight months, that the cabinet meetings they did
• 0:30
  Speaker 4: have were prescripted where they're walking through kabuki theater. There's
• 0:34
  Speaker 4: also the leak coming out of the Biden campaign itself
• 0:38
  Speaker 4: that they've begun polling Kamala Harris versus Donald Trump. And
• 0:42
  Speaker 4: we're going to talk about what it means that the
• 0:45
  Speaker 4: internal team, the cabinet, in the campaign is turning on
• 0:49
  Speaker 4: Joe Biden as this free fall continues. We're going to
• 0:51
  Speaker 4: get into that in depth. But before we do it,
• 0:54
  Speaker 4: we're going to cover a story that nobody else is
• 0:56
  Speaker 4: covering because it is an important story, which is yesterday
• 1:01
  Speaker 4: on Capitol Hill, there was a big, big victory on
• 1:06
  Speaker 4: Capitol Hill. Y'all recall we had a prior podcast where
• 1:09
  Speaker 4: we discussed this radical left wing judge that Joe Biden nominated.
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: Sarah Netburn, a magistrate judge in New York who is
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: an extreme leftist. She was handpicked by Chuck Schumer, and
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: among other things, she has this stunning decision where there
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: was this six foot two guy who was a serial rapist,
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: a child rapist, who decided at age fifty two that
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: he was a woman, and this judge ordered that he
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: go to a woman's prison and be housed with women.
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: And she disregarded the rights of those women, She disregarded
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: common sense, she disregarded sanity. Well, I cross examined her
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: a number of weeks ago, and Thursday morning, the Senate
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: Judiciary Committee had the markup when we were voting on it,
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: and I spoke again the nomination, and we had a
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: stunning victory.
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: We're going to get into that in just a moment.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's incredible. This June marked two years since the
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: overturn of Roe v.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: Wade.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: But did you know that the number of abortions actually
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: increased the following year In twenty twenty three, the amount
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: of abortions reached its highest level since twenty twelve, with
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: the abortion pill accounting for up to sixty three percent
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: of all abortions. It's tragically no surprise well Preborn is
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: continuing to stand strong for women in crisis and at
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: risk babies. Preborn is a ministry of compassion the showers
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: women and babies with God's love, providing free ultrasounds to
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: mothers with unplanned pregnancies to introduce them to the precious
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: life that they are growing. When a mother meets her
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: baby on ultrasound and here's their heartbeat, she is twice
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: as likely to then choose life. Twenty eight dollars sponsor
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: one ultrasound, and one hundred and forty dollars helps to
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: rescue five babies. Your generous, taxedectable donation will also help
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: to provide women who choose life with assistance for up
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: to two years. So please give give your best gift.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: To donate, it's easy. Just dial pound two fifty, say
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: the keyword baby. That's pound two fifty say the keyword baby,
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: or visit preborn dot com slash verdict that's preborn dot
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: com slash verdict, or dial pound two fifty and say
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: the keyword baby center. This was a story is that
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: you you mentioned a moment ago, but it is not
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: going to be covered by the media. And it's a
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: very very significant victory to stop this radical judge. How
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: did you get any Democrat to come along and to
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: look at this woman's record and realize this is not
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: someone we should have on the court.
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: Well, I'm going to explain this, but I got to
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: tell you the victory was a surprise. The Democrats were
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: not expecting it. The chairman of the committee, Dick Durbin,
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: was not expecting for the good guys, for common sense,
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: for reality to prevail. They were assuming they'd get a
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: straight party line vote. That's not what happened. But before
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: I walked through what happened, I want you to hear
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: my remarks at the markup. And this is a little
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: bit lengthy, but this is what I said at the markup,
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: and then I'm going to tell you the results and
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: how it.
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: Produced a stunning victory. Have a listen.
• 4:39
  Speaker 5: Thank you, missus. Chairman.
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: I have deep concerns about Judge Sarah Netburn's nomination, and
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: specifically about her radical rulings that endanger women by placing
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: biological men in women's prisons, and given the avalanche of
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: letters this committee has received from women's groups and female inmates,
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: I'm not.
• 4:59
  Speaker 5: The only person with co.
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: In the case of JJS versus ws Plyler, the prisoner
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: dubbed July Justine Shelby his real name is William mclin
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: was a serial rapist.
• 5:14
  Speaker 5: There's no other way to say it.
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: He was also a six foot two, fully intact biological man.
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: His past criminal offenses included child molestation of a nine
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: year old boy, rape of a seventeen year old girl,
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: and criminal deviot conduct. No factual details are in the record,
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: but the state defined the offense as quote compelling with
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: force or the threat of force sexual conduct. As a
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: result of these offenses, Shelby was incarcerated for eighteen years.
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: One year after being released on parole, Shelby broke parole
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: by circulating violent child pornography and so back in prison
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: and at fifty one years of age, Shelby decided that
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: he was a woman, and as a self declared woman,
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: he demanded to be jailed with biological women, and failing
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: to lock him up with other women, he argued, was
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: a violation of the Eighth Amendment. Now. Luckily for Shelby,
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: his lawsuit ended up in front of Judge Netburn, putting
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: political ideology over justice and reality. Magistrate Judge Netburn recommended
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: that Shelby quote be transferred immediately to a woman's facility,
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: despite a lifelong pattern of rape, sexual assault, and obvious
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: sexually predatory instincts. Magistrate Judge Netburn's opinion declared that quote
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: there are no signs that petitioner is at risk of reoffending.
• 6:49
  Speaker 5: That defies words.
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: Magistrate Judge Netburn doubled down on her comment to a
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: radical political ideology in her opinion, casting aside any concerns
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: for the female prisoners.
• 7:01
  Speaker 5: Judge Netburn wrote.
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: The BOP also posits that permitting petitioner to live among
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: women will be traumatizing and possibly dangerous to them. This
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: concern is overblown. Those are her words. Netbird's opinion went
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: on quote the BOP's repeated refusal to transfer petitioner to
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: a woman's facility to further her gender transition, despite knowing
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: the condition of petitioners physical and mental health violates the
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: petitioner's Eighth Amendment rights. This judge is ruling the Constitution
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: requires that biological men who wake up one day and
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: say I'm a woman have to be housed with female prisoners.
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: This judge also ruled, in effect that female prisoners have
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: no rights. The Democrats on this committee like to say
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: they support the rights of women, but we're about to
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: find out whether they do or not, because in this case,
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: you're taking a six foot two man who is a
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: serial rapist, and this judge sent that man to Fort Worth, Texas.
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: I asked that judge, do the women in that prison
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: have any right if it was your mother, if it
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: was your daughter, if it was your wife, how would
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: you feel if your daughter was Howe's with a six
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: foot two man who's a serial rapist. Because political, by
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: ideology matters more than sanity. And by the way, the
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: threat that this ideologue said is overblown is happening all
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: over the country. For example, in Judge Netburn's home state
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: of New York, in twenty twenty four, a former prisoner
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: at Rikers Island claimed that she was groped and raped
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: by a male inmate posing as a transgender woman. There'd
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: also been a prior rape attempt at Rikers in twenty
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: twenty one by another transgender inmate against a biological female inmate.
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: In New Jersey, in twenty twenty two, a transgender inmate
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: impregnated not one, but two female inmates.
• 9:03
  Speaker 5: In California, a.
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: Woman's group sued the Department of Corrections after transgender prisoner
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: raped two women, impregnating one of them. And in the
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: Chairman's home state of Illinois, a female inmate sue the
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: Department of Corrections after she was raped by a transgender inmate.
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: This is happening over and over and over again, and
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: it's because of ideology being put ahead of common sense.
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: At her hearing, I asked Judge Netburn, do you regret
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: your decision transferring a serial rapist, a biological man, to
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: a woman's prison. Her answer was, quote no, I faithfully
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: applied the law to the facts. That is not the law,
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: and these are not the facts. As I mentioned at
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: the outset, this committee has received letters from female prisoners
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: horrified at the prospect of being housed with a biological male,
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: fearing quite reasonably for their safety. Interestingly, the Chairman has
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: not read to you the letters those female inmates have
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: sent to this committee, pleading on this committee to use
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: some common sense. I'm going to read a couple for you.
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: Alissa Kay, a current inmate. Here's what she wrote to us. Quote,
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: people are already getting raped and nobody cares. Honestly, someone
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: in here is going to end up getting killed. Having
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: men here in prison with us disrupts any sense of rehabilitation.
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: We fear for our safety. We have further loss of
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: privacy as we are forced to share intimate spaces with
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: a man. We watch some as some prisons are victims
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: of abuse, and others willingly engage in sexual acts in
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: our shared space. This isn't right, This isn't fair. Do
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: any of our Democratic members care about Alissa Kay's concerns?
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: How about Amy I, a former inmate. Here's what she
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: wrote to us to say, quote, I urge the committee
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: to watch my story, the story of other female prisoners
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: and a brave resigned lieutenant who spoke out against this
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: anti woman policy. Women, including incarcerated women. Just because a
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: woman is in a prison doesn't mean she loses her rights.
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: That's me talking, not the letter. I'll get back to
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: the letter. Women, including incarcerated women, shouldn't be erased as
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: a matter of law to accommodate the interest of men.
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: One person's rights cannot come at the costs of another's.
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: Here's another letter, Evelyn V. A former inmate. She wrote
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: to us and said, quote, as a former inmate in
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: the California State prison system, I share your concern about
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: how women's rights are being pushed aside compared to the
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: interest of men who are self identifying at women and
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: getting entry to.
• 11:45
  Speaker 5: Facilities meant for women.
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: Now, at the hearing, Judge Netburn told us again she
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: thinks concerns of the risk of Shelby engaging in sexual
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: reoffense are quote overblown. I strongly disagree it. As it happens,
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: we now have facts just yesterday yesterday exquisite timing, by
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: the way, on this markup. Yesterday, the Washington Freebacon reported
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: that Shelby, who is housed at FMC Carswell in Fort Worth, Texas,
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: was placed in administrative segregation for exposing himself to female prisoners,
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: apparently joking that he was fully intact. Congratulations, Judge Netburn.
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: That's what you're doing to the women in this prison.
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: You're subjecting them to victimization and assault. If a guy
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: on the subway did this, whipping out his genitalia to
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: you on the subway, you deck the guy and arrest
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: him for indecent exposure, but this radical says he's got
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: a constitutional right to be there and do this. I
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: have to say this is an issue. Everyone on this
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: committee knows this isn't right every one of us. Every
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: one of us would be horrified if a loved one
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: found out she was the cellmate of a six foot
• 13:06
  Speaker 4: two man who was a serial rapist. But in today's
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: topsy turvy political world, the way you get nominated to
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: be a judge is you demonstrate you're a radical. I
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: know people must be saying, well, gosh, New York has
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: twenty million people, they couldn't find one person qualified to
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: be a judge to give a lifetime appointment to.
• 13:27
  Speaker 5: And that's the point.
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: What they're looking for is show us you're a radical.
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: This is an opportunity for every senator to demonstrate whether
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: you'll stand up for the rights of women or not.
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: I sadly expect a party line vote on this, but
• 13:42
  Speaker 4: I will say this, if we have a party line vote, mister.
• 13:44
  Speaker 5: Chairman, I'm going to make a request.
• 13:46
  Speaker 4: I'm going to request, mister Chairman, that you ask Majority
• 13:49
  Speaker 4: Leader Schumer to expedite a floor vote on this judge.
• 13:52
  Speaker 5: On the floor.
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: I want to see Senator Tester vote on whether a
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: six foot two man should go to a women's prison.
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: I want to see Senator Brown, I want to see
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: every Democrat go on record, do you give a damn
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: about the women in your state or not. It's a
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: simple choice, and it's a choice that will be defined
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: by the word yes of the word no.
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: Senator, you gave that speech hoping that there would be
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: people that would obviously hear it and would then say, Okay,
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: maybe he's right.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: That's apparently what happened.
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: It is and it was remarkable.
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: Look, I assumed what would happen is what has happened
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: over and over and over again in the Senate Judiciary Committee,
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: that everyone would just rubber stamp the nomination voted out,
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: and that really I was speaking to the American people,
• 14:38
  Speaker 4: and ultimately to all one hundred Senators trying to defeat
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: this judge on the floor of the Senate. But after
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: I spoke, Mike Lee spoke, and Lindsey Graham spoke, they
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: both were very effective laying out this judge's record like
• 14:51
  Speaker 4: I did, and then they began the role call vote
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: and the way the role call vote works is the
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: clerk of the committee begins reading out each of the senators,
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: and it starts with the senior senator in the majority
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: who's not the chairman, and it goes down in seniority,
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: so the clerk goes Senator Whitehouse. Senator white House is
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: Sheldon white House, Democrat from Rhode Island. Senator white House I. Next,
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: Senator Klobachar Amy Klobachar, Democrat from Minnesota. Senator Klobachar I.
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: Next Chris Coon's Democrat from Delaware. Senator Coons I. Next
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: Richard Blumenthal, Democrat from Connecticut. Senator Bloomenthal I. Next Mazie Herono,
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: Democrat from Hawaii. Senator Herono I. Next is Corey Booker,
• 15:37
  Speaker 4: Democrat from New Jersey. Senator Booker I. Next is Alex Padia,
• 15:42
  Speaker 4: Democrat from California. Senator Padilla I. Next is John Ossoff,
• 15:47
  Speaker 4: Democrat from Georgia. Senator Ossoff.
• 15:51
  Speaker 5: No.
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: Wow, you could have heard a pin drop when he
• 15:56
  Speaker 4: said that the last two members of the Democrats going
• 15:59
  Speaker 4: down the die where Peter Welch, Democrat from Virginia he
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: votes I and Lafonza Butler, Democrat from California. She votes IE,
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: and then Dick Durbin, the chairman at the end, votes I.
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: But John Ossoff, Democrat from Georgia, voted no, and all
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: the Republicans voted now, and as a result, this judge
• 16:18
  Speaker 4: was defeated eleven to ten. Now, I'll tell you, I
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: am convinced that Dick Durbin, the chairman, had no idea
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: assof was going to vote no. And I think he
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: was genuinely shocked when OSAF said no. They thought they
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: were going to have a party line vote and move
• 16:31
  Speaker 4: her on. And I think Osoff thought about it and said, Okay,
• 16:35
  Speaker 4: I got a run for reelection in the state of Georgia,
• 16:38
  Speaker 4: and if I vote for a judge that sends a
• 16:40
  Speaker 4: six foot two serial rapist to a woman's prison, I
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: ain't get reelected.
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: And do you guys talk before these votes like that
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: with Democrats, Remember, so you were expecting this to be
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: a they would move it on as well. Right, you
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: were as shy as probably Durbin.
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: A hundred per cent of the times we've done this,
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: they vote party line. Look, the Democrats put the most
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: partisan Democrats on the Judiciary Committee. You know, different committees
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: have different the Ethoses Judiciary Committee is like the Roman Coliseum.
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: You strap on your armor and you get battle axes
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: and you go fight the barbarians. The Commerce Committee, which
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: I'm the ranking member on, it's totally different. Commerce Committee.
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: It's Kumbai Yah. You go arm in arm, you work together,
• 17:29
  Speaker 4: you cooperate. And what's interesting is many of the same
• 17:32
  Speaker 4: people are on both committees. But it's just like the
• 17:34
  Speaker 4: committees operate differently, they take up different topics. And so
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: my entire remarks at the markup, I assumed none of
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: these Democrats, it doesn't matter what I say, they're not
• 17:45
  Speaker 4: going to listen to me.
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: They're going to vote yes.
• 17:47
  Speaker 4: But really what I was aiming, Look, it's why I
• 17:49
  Speaker 4: asked Durban, when you guys party line vote this out.
• 17:53
  Speaker 4: We ought to have a vote on the floor because
• 17:54
  Speaker 4: we would have defeated this judge on the floor. Joe
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: Manchin was not going to vote for this judge. I
• 17:59
  Speaker 4: think we might well have gotten Kirsten Cinema. And as
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: I mentioned, for Tester and Brown a couple of week,
• 18:06
  Speaker 4: couple of months before an election to vote for a
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: judge who did this that could cost them their elections.
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: And so I was like all right, if you want
• 18:13
  Speaker 4: to move this radical, let's get a vote right now,
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: and let's let the voters have a say in this.
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: I was very confident we would defeat her on the floor.
• 18:22
  Speaker 4: I got to say, I was stunned when Asaf voted no,
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: and I think the Democrats were too. It has never
• 18:29
  Speaker 4: happened since I've been on Judiciary. Republicans have done that.
• 18:35
  Speaker 4: Republicans did that to Trump a couple of times. There
• 18:37
  Speaker 4: were judges that we decided, no, that's not going to fly.
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: But the Democrats have never done that. And that is
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: a victory, a big, big victory, and I think it
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: shows just how extreme and out of the mainstream this
• 18:52
  Speaker 4: White House and Democrats and the Senate are that every
• 18:56
  Speaker 4: Democrat but one was prepared to move forward. By the way,
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: none of the Democrats argued with what I said, none
• 19:03
  Speaker 4: of them. None of them engaged and had an argument
• 19:06
  Speaker 4: on the other side, other than Durbin said, well, she
• 19:09
  Speaker 4: was a magistrate judge, so technically she didn't order the
• 19:13
  Speaker 4: guy to a women's prison. She just recommended that he
• 19:16
  Speaker 4: go to a women's prison, against the strenuous opposition of
• 19:18
  Speaker 4: Bureau of Prisons. By the way, who said that that
• 19:22
  Speaker 4: there was a big risk of sexual assault. But other
• 19:25
  Speaker 4: than that, the other Democrats all just sat there silently.
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: But you know what they're counting on. I want everyone
• 19:31
  Speaker 4: listening to this podcast to ask yourself, did you hear
• 19:34
  Speaker 4: about this judge on the six o'clock news nowhere?
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: Could you?
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: This is a dead story?
• 19:40
  Speaker 4: Did you read about it the New York Times? This
• 19:42
  Speaker 4: is a New York judge. Chuck Schumer picked this judge.
• 19:47
  Speaker 4: This is a judge who was nominated to be a
• 19:49
  Speaker 4: New York federal judge. She was just defeated the Senate
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: Judiciary Committee. Is it on the front page of the
• 19:53
  Speaker 4: New York Times today?
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: You know?
• 19:56
  Speaker 4: You and I are recording it on Thursday. But I'm
• 19:58
  Speaker 4: going to win a gazillion dollars. I don't have a
• 20:01
  Speaker 4: gazillion dollars, but it doesn't matter because I'm not going
• 20:03
  Speaker 4: to lose the wager. It's not going to be on
• 20:05
  Speaker 4: the front page of the New York Times. The media
• 20:08
  Speaker 4: doesn't want you to know about it because and by
• 20:13
  Speaker 4: the way, I was waiting for one of the Democrats
• 20:17
  Speaker 4: to self righteously say trans women are women?
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: What do you mean?
• 20:20
  Speaker 5: Why are you calling him a man?
• 20:22
  Speaker 4: And recall when this judge was being at her hearing
• 20:26
  Speaker 4: and I cross examined her. She said during the hearing,
• 20:29
  Speaker 4: well she was entirely female. And I said, judge, really, really,
• 20:36
  Speaker 4: does this person have male genitalia? Well, yes, well then
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: he's not entirely female. Yeah, and the irony. Literally the
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: day before the markup, the story breaks that this guy
• 20:57
  Speaker 4: pulled his genitalia out and was waving in front of
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: the other women and harassing them and was put in
• 21:04
  Speaker 4: administrative segregation for doing so.
• 21:07
  Speaker 5: There's no surprise.
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: By the way. Let me ask you something.
• 21:10
  Speaker 4: If you're a dude and you get convicted of a
• 21:13
  Speaker 4: violent crime and you have a choice, do you go
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: to a men's prison or a women's prison? What moron
• 21:21
  Speaker 4: would choose to go to a men's prison?
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, just on the issue of safety to yourself, right, say, hey,
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: I identify as a woman because you know, the chance
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: of you being assaulted goes significantly down.
• 21:33
  Speaker 4: Sure, And look the letters I read. Those letters were powerful.
• 21:39
  Speaker 4: And you know what, none of the Democrats in the
• 21:41
  Speaker 4: committee even read the damn letters. None of them cared.
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: I entered him into the record, I asked later, I
• 21:45
  Speaker 4: didn't play this, but I asked, did any of you
• 21:48
  Speaker 4: read the letter?
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: Nobody responded, They literally don't care.
• 21:52
  Speaker 4: They voted a confirmer anyway, And it's an example of
• 21:56
  Speaker 4: how the left is utterly out of touch. They do
• 21:59
  Speaker 4: not care about the people they're hurting, whether it's the
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: people who are dying from illegal immigrants that their open
• 22:05
  Speaker 4: borders are letting into this country, or whether it's about
• 22:08
  Speaker 4: the women who are being raped because the policies they
• 22:11
  Speaker 4: support are putting male sexual predators in female prisons. And
• 22:15
  Speaker 4: this is happening over and over and over again, and
• 22:17
  Speaker 4: not a one of them they don't mention it. They'll
• 22:21
  Speaker 4: just repeat their ideology trans women are women except for
• 22:24
  Speaker 4: the fact that they have genitalia that can rape a woman,
• 22:26
  Speaker 4: and they keep doing so in prison, over and over again,
• 22:29
  Speaker 4: setting that minor, inconvenient detail aside. Other than that, my
• 22:33
  Speaker 4: ideology says, go ahead.
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: I want to tell you about my friends at Blackout Coffee.
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: If you're like me and you start your morning early,
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: then you probably don't want just an average cup of coffee.
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: And if you're like me and you're sick and tired
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: of giving your money to companies that hate your values,
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: then you probably know there's a whole lot of woke
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: coffee companies out there.
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: There's some big ones.

  Speaker 2: and we are proud to stand for American values. Blackout
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: Coffee is one hundred percent committed to conservative values. Like
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: I said, from the sourcing of the beams to the

  Speaker 2: roasting process, customer support and shipping, they embody true American values.
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: They accept no compromise on taste or quality. I do
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: a show every morning at seven o'clock. I got to
• 23:29

• 24:16
  Speaker 2: the other big news that we mentioned earlier, and both
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: of these stories are massive. Number one, we're hearing that
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: Joe Biden's campaign commissioned a Trump versus Harris poll. There's
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: two thoughts you could go with here. One it's an
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: accent that it leaked, or two they did on purpose
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: to leak it, and they're undermining their main candidate, Joe Biden,
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: trying to force him out. Let me start by getting
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: your reaction to that.
• 24:48
  Speaker 4: Well, Look, I think we are seeing Joe Biden in
• 24:51
  Speaker 4: free fall. We're seeing Democrats turn on him every day.
• 24:54
  Speaker 4: We're seeing additional Democrat House members turn on him. We
• 24:58
  Speaker 4: saw this week Democrats Center Peter Welch come out and
• 25:01
  Speaker 4: say Biden shouldn't run. What we know that Democrat Senator
• 25:04
  Speaker 4: Mark Warner was trying to get other Democrats to do
• 25:07
  Speaker 4: the same. We've seen NBC turn on them, We've seen
• 25:09
  Speaker 4: CNN turn on them, We've seen the New York Times
• 25:11
  Speaker 4: turn on and we've seen George Clooney turn on him.
• 25:14
  Speaker 4: And it's every day you look at the campaign. So
• 25:17
  Speaker 4: so NBC News reported quote, no one involved in the
• 25:23
  Speaker 4: effort thinks he has a pass. That is a quote
• 25:27
  Speaker 4: from Biden campaign insiders who say the writing is on
• 25:31
  Speaker 4: the wall. And here's another quote quote. The Biden campaign
• 25:35
  Speaker 4: has started to quietly assess the viability of Harris's candidacy
• 25:39
  Speaker 4: against Trump in a new head to head poll. A
• 25:42
  Speaker 4: source familiar with the decision told NBC News Now that
• 25:45
  Speaker 4: means the campaign is leaking this story. Hey, we better
• 25:50
  Speaker 4: check out Kamala uh oh, our guy's in trouble. Let's
• 25:53
  Speaker 4: let's go do the polling. His own campaign team is
• 25:57
  Speaker 4: leaking again with him. Let's go back to that quote
• 25:59
  Speaker 4: from it campaign team. No one involved in the effort
• 26:04
  Speaker 4: thinks he has a path that ain't good.
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's not good.
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: And if they're doing this to undermine his candidacy, I
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: think it's also goes back to the point that we've
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: kind of started to witness, which is whether you're a
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: cabinet member or you're on the campaign, you're fighting now
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: for your own survival and the power and the access
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: to power. You don't want to lose. So if you
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: think you're going to lose with Joe Biden, then why
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: not throw a poll out there for COMMA and see
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: if that gives you a better result, which means you
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: get to keep your job in an administration.
• 26:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah, look, this is all about power, and you know
• 26:43
  Speaker 4: we mentioned also there was the bombshell story this week
• 26:46
  Speaker 4: that again is not getting a ton of coverage, but
• 26:48
  Speaker 4: there has not been a single cabinet meeting in eight months.
• 26:54
  Speaker 4: That that is bizarre that there hasn't been a cabinet meeting.
• 26:57
  Speaker 4: The cabinet doesn't meet and in the last last full
• 27:00
  Speaker 4: cabinet meeting took place on October second, twenty twenty three.
• 27:05
  Speaker 4: And not only that, there's a story from CNN quote
• 27:13
  Speaker 4: back in Washington. There have been clear signs throughout his
• 27:15
  Speaker 4: term of Biden being increasingly stage managed, with lists of
• 27:19
  Speaker 4: talking points, names of questioners, and drawings of where he
• 27:22
  Speaker 4: should walk presented to him by aids ahead of closed
• 27:25
  Speaker 4: door cabinet meetings that Biden attends. It is customary for
• 27:29
  Speaker 4: cabinet officials to submit questions and key talking points that
• 27:33
  Speaker 4: they plan to present in front of Biden ahead of
• 27:36
  Speaker 4: time to White House aids. Two sources with direct knowledge
• 27:41
  Speaker 4: told CNN, quote the entire display is kind of an act.
• 27:45
  Speaker 4: One of those sources told CNN they would come and say, hey,
• 27:50
  Speaker 4: the President is going to call on you in about
• 27:52
  Speaker 4: twenty five minutes and ask this question, what are the
• 27:55
  Speaker 4: bullet points you'll respond with. The second source, who echoed
• 27:59
  Speaker 4: the same description, said that when Biden attends cabinet meetings,
• 28:03
  Speaker 4: they are quote not free wheeling and pretty well orchestrated,
• 28:08
  Speaker 4: and the meetings themselves are infrequent, with one cabinet secretary
• 28:11
  Speaker 4: telling CNN they are uncertain of Biden's condition because they
• 28:17
  Speaker 4: so rarely see him.
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: Wow, there now is a real question about the twenty
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: fifth Amendment being a possibility. Remember this was something that
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: Democrats were obsessed with with Donald Trump. I want to
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: just remind people back in two thousand in seventeen, this
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: is what Democrats were saying on TV.
• 28:43
  Speaker 6: This is scary hashtag twenty fifth Amendment.
• 28:46
  Speaker 7: President is not equipped to do with the job.
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: So now they're saying he's mentally incapacitated, and more than
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: two dozen Democratic lawmakers are backing a bill that says
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: he should leave office.
• 28:58
  Speaker 5: Should he be removed, his brain.
• 29:01
  Speaker 7: Is simply incapable of processing the information, emotionally psychologically unstable,
• 29:05
  Speaker 7: initiate proceedings to remove the president.
• 29:08
  Speaker 6: You and several of your Democratic House colleagues met with
• 29:11
  Speaker 6: a psychiatry professor from Yale, doctor Bandy Lee. She holds
• 29:15
  Speaker 6: an end today quote as the president is unraveling. He
• 29:18
  Speaker 6: seems to be losing his grip on reality and reverting
• 29:21
  Speaker 6: to conspiracy theories.
• 29:22
  Speaker 8: Doctor Lee and other psychiatrists who've been up to meet
• 29:25
  Speaker 8: with members of Congress have been predicting increasingly delusional and
• 29:30
  Speaker 8: heronoid behavior on the part of the president. The president
• 29:34
  Speaker 8: is dangerous and unable to successfully meet the powers and
• 29:37
  Speaker 8: duties of office.
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: That was twenty seventeen, not about Joe Biden, but about
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: what's amazing.
• 29:43
  Speaker 4: You could imagine every one of those quotes about Joe Biden. Yeah,
• 29:47
  Speaker 4: and those quotes I think didn't happen to mention other
• 29:50
  Speaker 4: than maybe the first one Trump's name. And so if
• 29:53
  Speaker 4: someone just heard that snippet, they might say, wow, the
• 29:56
  Speaker 4: d's are ready to invoke the twenty fifth Amendment. I
• 29:58
  Speaker 4: got to say, look, the fact that the CNN story
• 30:03
  Speaker 4: is quoted is leaking from the cabinet.
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: Well, and this goes to reporting today from CNN. Here
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: is the bombshell sea and report that cabinet secretaries not
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: only so many questions, but my question now is is
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: this being done on purpose so that they may actually
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: start talking about the twenty fifth Amendment. Listen to how
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: CNN blew this up today at.
• 30:26
  Speaker 9: The White House perspective now with CNN's MJ.
• 30:28
  Speaker 5: Lee.
• 30:28
  Speaker 9: Who's there for is MJ you and your colleagues have
• 30:32
  Speaker 9: some reporting on the mood behind the scenes.
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: What are you hearing from your sources?
• 30:37
  Speaker 7: Well, boris there's certainly been a lot of confusion and
• 30:40
  Speaker 7: anger and sadness inside the White House, across the administration,
• 30:44
  Speaker 7: the campaign, and across the Democratic Party more broadly since
• 30:48
  Speaker 7: the President's really halting and shocking debate performance. My colleagues
• 30:53
  Speaker 7: and I have spoken over the course of the last
• 30:55
  Speaker 7: two weeks to dozens of Democratic sources, including I should
• 30:59
  Speaker 7: note senior Democrats who have spent real time with the
• 31:02
  Speaker 7: president and in some cases have known the president for
• 31:06
  Speaker 7: years and What has been striking is that none of
• 31:09
  Speaker 7: them had ever seen this version of President Biden that
• 31:12
  Speaker 7: we all saw on the debate stage that was so
• 31:16
  Speaker 7: faltering and days and plenty of officials that we spoke
• 31:20
  Speaker 7: with said, look, of course, we've known that the president
• 31:23
  Speaker 7: has aged. He is certainly not the same person that
• 31:26
  Speaker 7: we know from say, a year ago. But what they
• 31:31
  Speaker 7: had said, and that was so noteworthy, is that they
• 31:34
  Speaker 7: said they couldn't have possibly known about the full extent
• 31:38
  Speaker 7: of the president's decline. And what many of them blame
• 31:41
  Speaker 7: at this point is this apparatus and daily operation that
• 31:45
  Speaker 7: is built around the president that is so painfully choreographed
• 31:49
  Speaker 7: and stage managed. They said, that is designed to prevent
• 31:52
  Speaker 7: the president from being often out in these unscripted settings
• 31:58
  Speaker 7: for an extended period of time, and that really what
• 32:01
  Speaker 7: that meant was that only a small circle of inner
• 32:05
  Speaker 7: circle of advisors and perhaps family members could have known
• 32:09
  Speaker 7: about sort of this full picture of the president's condition.
• 32:13
  Speaker 7: Just one example that is in our story is that,
• 32:17
  Speaker 7: according to two sources, before cabinet meetings that the president attends,
• 32:22
  Speaker 7: cabinet officials will submit their questions and talking points, key
• 32:27
  Speaker 7: talking points and bulletpoints that they plan to present to
• 32:30
  Speaker 7: the president in these closed door meetings. This is how
• 32:33
  Speaker 7: one source described it. They said, the entire display is
• 32:36
  Speaker 7: kind of an act. They would come and say, Hey,
• 32:38
  Speaker 7: the President is going to call on you about twenty
• 32:41
  Speaker 7: five minutes in and ask this question, what are the
• 32:43
  Speaker 7: bullet points that you'll respond with. Now, the White House's
• 32:46
  Speaker 7: defense has been that that is standard practice for any administration.
• 32:50
  Speaker 7: They said, in a setting like this, you never want
• 32:52
  Speaker 7: the president to be not aware of what is going
• 32:57
  Speaker 7: to be discussed.
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: They you look at this senator, I sit there and
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: I'm like, Okay, You've got people that serve at the
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: pleasure of the president who are now looking out for
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: their own best interests.
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: They don't want to lose their power.
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: You got people on his campaign that apparently have the
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: same mentality as these cabinet members. And all the leaks
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: about Joe Biden are coming from within. Now you can't
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: control them. White House leaks destroy presidencies. And now it's like,
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: if you're leaking this and you're a senior cabinet member,
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: are you doing it to prep the country for possibly
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: the twenty fifth.
• 33:38
  Speaker 4: Look, I think that prospect is rising. I got to say, also,
• 33:41
  Speaker 4: the White House Defense. Well, this is standard operating procedure.
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: Listen.
• 33:45
  Speaker 4: I have been in literally hundreds of meetings with presidents,
• 33:51
  Speaker 4: whether Donald Trump or Barack Obama, and I've never been
• 33:56
  Speaker 4: in one meeting where we had talking points and it
• 33:59
  Speaker 4: was it was choreographed. That doesn't happen. I talked to
• 34:03
  Speaker 4: Donald Trump a couple of days on the go in
• 34:04
  Speaker 4: the phone call. He didn't know what I was going
• 34:06
  Speaker 4: to say. I didn't know what he was gonna say,
• 34:08
  Speaker 4: because you're talking to an actual human being. Every day
• 34:11
  Speaker 4: when senators meet, we don't read scripts. Would you'd like
• 34:15
  Speaker 4: to do this job? You actually have to be able
• 34:17
  Speaker 4: to talk about colleagues and say okay, what's going on,
• 34:19
  Speaker 4: and ask questions and discuss things. Now, look, you'll read
• 34:22
  Speaker 4: a speech that's commonplace, but at a meeting, a cabinet
• 34:25
  Speaker 4: meeting where they're supposed to be your top advisors. I
• 34:28
  Speaker 4: meet with my senior staff every week. My senior staff
• 34:31
  Speaker 4: don't come in. I don't ask them give me the
• 34:34
  Speaker 4: talking points of what you're gonna say before you say it.
• 34:37
  Speaker 4: Because professionals are able to have a conversation, listen and
• 34:42
  Speaker 4: process information, and by the way, then ask follow up questions,
• 34:46
  Speaker 4: what about this? Well, should we do this? What do
• 34:48
  Speaker 4: you think about this? Okay, let's go down this direction.
• 34:51
  Speaker 4: That's actually the way presidents operate. I've been in bunches
• 34:56
  Speaker 4: of free flowing presidential meetings with Trump. Or we'd be
• 34:58
  Speaker 4: all over the place and you had a peace we'll
• 35:00
  Speaker 4: argue on one side and arguing the other, and trumple
• 35:02
  Speaker 4: say what about this? And I mean we would you know.
• 35:05
  Speaker 4: I've been up in the White House residence with him
• 35:07
  Speaker 4: and a couple other senators, with people screaming at each
• 35:09
  Speaker 4: other till ten ten thirty at night. That is dramatically
• 35:14
  Speaker 4: different from the kabuki theater that Joe Biden was putting on.
• 35:18
  Speaker 5: Now.
• 35:18
  Speaker 4: To be clear, his entire cabinet was complicit, His entire
• 35:21
  Speaker 4: White House staff was complicit. The Democrats in Congress were complicit.
• 35:25
  Speaker 4: They all knew this. They're all saying, gosh, we're shocked,
• 35:28
  Speaker 4: just absolutely shocked. I've told you Biden won't meet with
• 35:31
  Speaker 4: Republican senators. That's been true for three and a half years.
• 35:33
  Speaker 4: I haven't had any meeting with President.
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: Remembers now, right, Yeah, it's not just you guys, it's
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: now the cabinet. He won't even meet with yet.
• 35:39
  Speaker 4: Look, when Republican senators meet to have lunch, we talk
• 35:43
  Speaker 4: about how weird it is that we haven't talked to
• 35:46
  Speaker 4: Joe Biden.
• 35:46
  Speaker 5: We all know Joe.
• 35:47
  Speaker 4: He was a man of the Senate for forty years,
• 35:50
  Speaker 4: but they won't let him meet with us. Because this
• 35:54
  Speaker 4: has been obvious for three and a half years. And
• 35:57
  Speaker 4: the media, the Democrats, they were all complete until the
• 36:01
  Speaker 4: debate thrust it unavoidably in front of the public, and
• 36:05
  Speaker 4: now they're all running scared.
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: Does this change the calculus in your mind for Democrats
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: moving forward? I mean I thought by the end of
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: this week they would get back in line behind him.
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: We don't seem to have that happening at all. And
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: it now seems that from within are the people that
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: are hurting him the most.
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: I'll give you an example.
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: Jake Tamper went on his show on CNN today and
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: this is what he said.
• 36:33
  Speaker 6: Let's bring in our panel. And on that note, I
• 36:36
  Speaker 6: want to share something with you all that a longtime
• 36:39
  Speaker 6: Biden advisor just texted me. Okay, he or she said, quote,
• 36:45
  Speaker 6: I just think there's an unfortunate inevitability to all this.
• 36:49
  Speaker 6: I am sad because I've known him a long time,
• 36:51
  Speaker 6: and he's a good man. I'm angry at his inner
• 36:54
  Speaker 6: circle who have not served him well and at times
• 36:57
  Speaker 6: committed malpractice in their service. And I am frustrated at
• 37:00
  Speaker 6: the family, the Biden family, for not expanding the circle
• 37:03
  Speaker 6: so there would be at least a truthteller or two
• 37:07
  Speaker 6: in their midst They created a perfect storm of an
• 37:10
  Speaker 6: echo chamber, and it is biting them all in the ass. Again,
• 37:15
  Speaker 6: as with MJ. Apologies for the salty language, but this
• 37:18
  Speaker 6: is the extent of the frustration, Gloria, your reaction.
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: I get this is Jake Tapper. He's not burning somebody.
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: This advisor, this long time advisor, I think made it
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: very clear that.
• 37:33
  Speaker 4: For well, listen, listen like Ron go on TV yet listen.
• 37:38
  Speaker 4: Ron Klain sent that text expecting that Jake Tapper would
• 37:42
  Speaker 4: would read it on air.
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: And by the way, I don't know it was Ron Klain.
• 37:45
  Speaker 3: I'm just just picking up.
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, whoever did, I said, go on air
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: and read this. I'm letting you do it.
• 37:51
  Speaker 4: Look, you don't send it to Jake Tapper without expecting
• 37:54
  Speaker 4: that he's going to repeat it. That's why you're sending it.
• 37:56
  Speaker 4: And look, the press is turning on him. Remember like
• 38:01
  Speaker 4: twelve minutes ago, where the corporate media would say it's
• 38:05
  Speaker 4: a tinfoil hat conspiracy theory when you say that Obama's
• 38:09
  Speaker 4: running things. We've said a number of times in this
• 38:11
  Speaker 4: podcast that it's Obama's pulling the strings.
• 38:14
  Speaker 3: I want you to listen to.
• 38:17
  Speaker 4: Morning Joe talking about who's really behind everything right now,
• 38:21
  Speaker 4: give a.
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: Listen Before I play that, I want to tell you
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: about our friends of the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews.
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: Since the start of the Sword of Iron War in
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: Israel in October seventh, we have seen death and destruction
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: in the Holy Land, and for more than forty years,
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews has been on
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: the ground in Israel and within hours of the war starting,
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: and everyday since, they've been feeding the hungry and protecting
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: the vulnerable. The attacks continue in the north, in the South,
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: in Israel, but there are resilient survivors who bravely share
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: their stories in a series the Fellowship calls Faces of Iron.
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: I want you to hear their stories because so many
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: in the media have not been covering them. Survivors, for example,
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: like Danny, whose beloved daughter and her husband were burned
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: alive on October seventh by hamas teris need to be
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: heard by the world. Danny is a commander of the
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: volunteer fire and rescue in his community. Despite fire equipment nearby,
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: Danny could do nothing as his daughter's house burned and
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: his daughter and her husband lost their lives. Christians like
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: you support Israel through the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews.
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: Is this support that helps these survivors remain steadfast and strong.
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: I want you to hear more of their stories like
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: the one I just mentioned, and I want you to
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: share your support for Israel.
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: And stand with the people of Israel.
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: All you have to do to hear these stories and
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: spread them on social media is go to support IFCJ
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: dot org. That's support IFCJ dot org. Here's that clip
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: center that you mentioned a moment ago morning, Joe.
• 39:55
  Speaker 8: Hey.
• 39:55
  Speaker 9: One thing that we do have to underline here just
• 39:57
  Speaker 9: so viewers can can follow what's going on behind the scenes,
• 40:02
  Speaker 9: is is the Biden campaign and many Democratic officials do
• 40:09
  Speaker 9: believe that Barack Obama is quietly working behind the scenes
• 40:15
  Speaker 9: to orchestrate this.
• 40:18
  Speaker 4: I mean, if you and I had said that a
• 40:22
  Speaker 4: month ago, they would go crazy, They would mock us.
• 40:26
  Speaker 4: Not now I want to play also what Mika Berzinski
• 40:28
  Speaker 4: said about the George Clooney op ed, because that's just
• 40:31
  Speaker 4: give a listen to what Mika says, Yes, this doesn't
• 40:34
  Speaker 4: George Clooney, but but well, what do you.
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: Mean it just buzzn't? Come on?
• 40:39
  Speaker 5: Well, who do you think it was?
• 40:41
  Speaker 4: Matt?
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: It was not Matt Damon, It wasn't Julia Roberts.
• 40:45
  Speaker 9: Who do you think it was? You can say the name,
• 40:48
  Speaker 9: It's not Baltimore. Are you saying you think Barack Obama
• 40:52
  Speaker 9: put him up to this?
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: I think that Barack Obama has a lot of influence,
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: and I think.
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: That there's uh, there's a lot there, There's a lot.
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: There, there's a lot there, there's a lot there.
• 41:05
  Speaker 9: Really, there are two people in this picture, and one
• 41:09
  Speaker 9: has had a presidency that was absolutely undeniably historic. Well,
• 41:17
  Speaker 9: I think you have two people that had extraordinarily at historic.
• 41:22
  Speaker 6: In terms of legislative accomplishments.
• 41:25
  Speaker 9: Well, you say, and they're both historic, and they're both historic,
• 41:29
  Speaker 9: and Barack Obama for sure Hordable Care Act. George, I
• 41:33
  Speaker 9: mean not George Cliney. You know he probably said it too.
• 41:36
  Speaker 9: Willie but Joe Biden actually whispered that that was a
• 41:39
  Speaker 9: big deal, effing dial.
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: This is the conversation they're having on MSNBC as George
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: Quinney comes out, I love Joe Biden, but we need
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: a new nominee.
• 41:53
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 41:54
  Speaker 4: And to be clear, Politico also reported quote before Hollywood
• 41:58
  Speaker 4: icon and Democratic donor George He published his buzzy and
• 42:01
  Speaker 4: brutal New York Times op ed yesterday calling on Biden
• 42:04
  Speaker 4: to step aside as the nominee. We're told he reached
• 42:07
  Speaker 4: out to former President Barack Obama to give him the
• 42:10
  Speaker 4: heads up. The two men, who are friendly, both attended
• 42:13
  Speaker 4: the LA fundraiser Clooney referenced in his piece where the
• 42:15
  Speaker 4: actor said he'd beheld a diminished Biden and that the
• 42:19
  Speaker 4: leader he interacted with was quote the same man we
• 42:22
  Speaker 4: all witnessed at the debate. While Obama did not encourage
• 42:26
  Speaker 4: or advise Clooney to said what he said, he also
• 42:29
  Speaker 4: didn't object to it were told from people familiar with
• 42:33
  Speaker 4: their exchange. The lack of pushback is an eye popping revelation,
• 42:38
  Speaker 4: given that the former president was one of the first
• 42:40
  Speaker 4: big voices defending Biden following his abysmal debate performance, while
• 42:44
  Speaker 4: many of his former aides have been some of the
• 42:46
  Speaker 4: incumbent's biggest critics. Again, if you and I said that
• 42:51
  Speaker 4: twelve minutes ago, they would have fitted us for the
• 42:54
  Speaker 4: tinfoil hats and said we were loons. And now every
• 42:57
  Speaker 4: one of them is saying, this is Barack Obama pulling string.
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll get ready.
• 43:02
  Speaker 2: It's civil war and it is not calming down within
• 43:05
  Speaker 2: the Democratic Party. Don't forget. We do the show Monday,
• 43:07
