Tucker Censored on Twitter00:06:13
Hey, everybody, what a contrast KBJ and Antonin Scalia demonstrate.
Also, we talked about an update from Twitter where Tucker Carlson has now been censored on Twitter and so much more.

Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.
Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.
I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.
Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.
I want to thank Charlie.
He's an incredible guy.
His spirit, his love of this country.
He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created.
Turning point USA.
We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
That's why we are here.

The saga of the suspension of Twitter continues.
We are still suspended from Twitter, so is the Babylon B.
But now Twitter is censoring Tucker Carlson.
Tucker Carlson came out and simply posted screenshots of our tweet saying what's wrong with this.
Now Twitter has censored Tucker.
Tucker Carlson has posted the screenshots Tuesday of the tweets written by satirical news outlet Babylon B, as well as Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, the Daily Caller reports.
So people are asking all the time why Twitter is doing this.
Well, Twitter has to be kind of a regime space.
It has to be a place where there is very little disagreement.
It's actually become really boring.
Actually, it used to kind of be an edgy space for the internet and for ideas to be spread.
Now it's just kind of very conformist.
Twitter is doing this for an obvious reason, they're really threatened that the entire fraud of Levine pretending to be a woman and that whole kind of mafia cartel that runs that will be exposed.
Now, I think it's important to note that we are not going to delete that tweet.
It's not going to happen.
So the way it works, you tweet something they don't like.
They give you an opportunity to delete it.
And if you delete it, then you get your access to your Twitter account back.
We're not going to do that.
It's not going to happen.
So we are not going to delete the tweet.
We're going to let this play out.
We're going to appeal.
I will not admit to a lie for saying something true.
The lie is saying that I was somehow participating in hate speech.
What they want is your conformity.
The currency of the tyrant is you bending the knee.
Twitter gets less powerful when you don't allow them to dictate the terms of engagement.
We said nothing wrong.
In fact, rereading the tweet five or ten times and you look at it very closely, we were probably overly politically correct in how we created the tweet.
Everything we said was factual: that Levine spent years as a man and then transitioned to a woman.
That's factually correct.
In fact, we are probably overly generous in this.
We were careful to use the past tense.
Nothing about our tweet violated any of their silly rules.
In fact, we should have and could have just tweeted, Rachel Levine is a man.
Now, they call this dead naming, which is using their dead name because we said Richard Levine.
But Richard Levine, which we used, was actually in the context of the 54 years of the individual that was a man that had children.
So let me just ask a question for Twitter.
Am I allowed to post a picture or a video of Cassius Clay?
Or do I have to only say Muhammad Ali?
People change their names all the time.
Or you're not allowed to ever mention somebody in the context of when their name was that name, or else it's hate speech.
Dead naming is the act of referring to a transgender or non-binary person by a name they used prior to transitioning, such as their birth name.
You hear that on Twitter?
You're not allowed to call somebody a name that isn't actually their name.
And we even admitted in the tweet this person has transitioned, something radical enough that I even reject the premise of, but we did it in the tweet just to kind of see how Twitter would react.
And they still censor us off their platform.
Everything about it was precisely on point.
They still don't want any part of it, obviously.
It's about crushing dissent.
It's about sending a signal to millions of other people that are on the fence of whether or not they should speak out.
It was a perfect tweet.
Nothing about it is wrong.
Therefore, people say, Charlie, are you going to delete the tweet to get access back to Twitter?
I stand with the Babylon B on this.
And now Tucker has been censored over it.
Now, if Twitter wanted this story to go away, they would have just not censored Tucker.
Instead, they're amplifying it as a signal boost.
This story is continuing.
This story is growing because of this.
Let's get to another story.
I do want to get more to Kantanji Brown Jackson.
The Equal Protection Clause Debate00:10:38
And there's a lot there I want to uncover, including Senator Dick Durbin.
Let's go to cut here.
Cut 75.
Senator Dick Durbin says that questions about Katanji Brown Jackson's lenient treatment of convicted child pornographers amount to attacks.
Play to Cut 75.
And here's the point.
Most of this information was published in the Washington Post five days ago.
All right?
This is not confidential information.
When the Hawley attack on the judge started, we requested more information.
The White House did, and then shared it with us within the day, and you now have the same copy that we have.
Is it fair for you to characterize Senator Hawley's questions or the questions raised by any of us as an attack?
It's not a personal attack.
This is a legitimate question regarding our sentencing regarding the most heinous crimes imaginable.
Oh, come on.
These are legitimate questions, Mr. Chairman.
Don't call them attacks.
Oh, come on, Dick Durbin says.
I mean, it's not like it's that big of a deal.
If the election would have been perfect, Dick Durbin would not be chairman of that committee.
Instead, it would be Lindsey Graham, which not that much better.
I don't know who needs to hear this, but child pornography is not a victimless crime.
Not a victimless.
I can't believe we need to say that.
I can't believe we need to explain what a woman is, but that's the state of the country that we're in.
That is the state of the nation that we are in right now.
Look, everybody, I know you love freedom and you want to defend it.
And I know you love the Constitution.
It's a beautiful document, and so do I.
And it's the same with Hillsdale College, the best liberal arts college in America.

I'm afraid with what we're watching with the Katanji Brown Jackson saga, we might be watching a national divorce court proceeding.
This might be like the U.S. Senate becomes Judge Judy almost.
If you can't even agree on what a she is, you might be watching the national divorce unfold.
And it all just kind of manifests in one period of time with Katanji Brown Jackson.
So here is Cut 40, where Brown Jackson comments on abortion cases, where she says, Look, we now know women have a right to terminate a pregnancy, but the obvious question is, well, then what is a woman, though?
Because you told us you can't tell us what a woman is.
So how can you tell us someone can terminate a pregnancy if you can't tell us what a woman is?
Play Cut 40.
Thank you, Senator.
I do agree with both Justice Kavanaugh and Justice Barrett on this issue.
Roe and Casey are the settled law of the Supreme Court concerning the right to terminate a woman's pregnancy.
They have established a framework that the court has reaffirmed.
And in order to revisit, as Justice Barrett said, the Supreme Court looks at various factors because starry decisis is a very important principle.
When you can't even decide on the most basic things in a society, what does that say for the more complex things?
You can't determine what, when does life begin, what is a female.
You're starting to see these kind of two Americas, and the other side, this is just fine.
What does Dick Durbin have to say?
He thinks she's doing wonderful.
Dick Durbin thinks that she is 10 out of 10.
No one has risen to the challenge, as well as KBJ.
Play Cut 66.
First, I would say, Judge Jackson, that I thought that President Biden got it right yesterday.
He tuned in and watched the proceedings and said you showed both grace and dignity.
I've used the phrase grace under pressure, and it's been referred to by many people.
This is a tough assignment, and many have risen to the challenge, but none as well as you did yesterday.
Thank you for doing it so much.
I mean, it's just nauseating.
We're supposed to take this seriously.
Yeah, you just did so well.
You can't tell us what a woman is.
You don't know when life begins.
You don't know very basic equal protection cases.
Senator Blackburn then referenced Justice Ginsburg and said there's no are there physical differences between men and women play cut 78.
Do you agree with Justice Ginsberg that there are physical differences between men and women that are enduring?
Respectfully, I am not familiar with that particular quote or case.
Okay.
So it's hard for me to comment as to whether I'd love to get your opinion on that.
And you can submit that.
Do you interpret Justice Ginsburg's meaning of men and women as male and female?
Again, because I don't know the case, I don't know how I interpret it.
I need to read the whole.
Okay.
Hey, look, smart person wants to be in the Supreme Court.
Not a trick question.
Okay.
Not trying to trip you up here.
Do you agree with Ruth Bader Ginsburg that men and women are different?
I'm sorry.
I'm going to have to look at the specifics of the case.
Pretty simple.
You don't have to make this overly complex.
She won't answer that.
But she's quick to get super animated, hands flying all over the place, passionate heart rate going up when anyone dares question her sentencing of child pedophiles.
That's where she gets the most enthusiastic.
So you can't agree that there are physical differences between men and women.
You support the Gitmo terrorists enthusiastically.
It's obvious she didn't prepare herself or she thought she could just bluff her way all the way through.
Or these last couple of weeks, all of her handlers basically said, hey, Russia-Ukraine is going to take all the headlines, just kind of breeze through this.
And no one thought in the briefing to say, hey, let's get a pretty good answer in case someone asks you what a woman is because you are the first woman, that black woman that wants to be on the U.S. Supreme Court.
Either way, it either shows arrogance, like they assume this was a foregone conclusion, which is, of course, the left's biggest vulnerability, or they think she's just doing beautifully.
In fact, I could just see some academics saying, finally, the deconstructionist postmodernist agenda that we've been putting forward at Harvard is making real gains.
Finally, we have to question everything.
And finally, at this hearing, we are seeing that she rejects very simple things that used heteronormative beliefs that men and women are things?
No, reject that.
Look, with all the different makes and models of cars, it could be very confusing.
I'm not a car guy.
I'm not.
And I get ripped off, okay?
If I go to a traditional storefront, it's a disaster.
It really is.
You know, these people that know a lot about cars, they're selling me all sorts of weird and wacky things.
They're like, you need a flagpole and you need a Wilson wire and you need a Hamilton bar and all this different sorts of stuff never heard of.
I said, okay, sure.
Here's the credit card.
Next thing you know, it's thousands of dollars later and I've been ripped off.
Well, look, you have computers, so you can access rockauto.com at home and in your pocket.
So you should repair and maintain your cars.
It's a way to save money and you can use them for other important things like mortgages and food.
So you go to rockauto.com.
That's rockauto.com.
Their prices are reliably low at rockauto.com always offers the lowest prices possible rather than changing prices based on what the market will bear like airlines do.
Rockauto.com is a family business serving auto parts customers online for 20 years.
Go to rockauto.com to shop for auto and body parts from hundreds of manufacturers.
Best of all, prices at rockauto.com are reliably low.
Go to rockauto.com right now to see all the parts available for your car or truck or Charlie Kirk and the How Did You Hear About Us?
So they know that we sent you.
Amazing selection, reliably low prices, all the parts your car will ever need, rockauto.com.
Let's go to Cut 35.
Katangi Brown Jackson refuses to give her opinion on court packing, play cut 35.
Do you agree with Justice Breyer and Justice Ginberg that court packing is a bad idea?
Well, respectfully, Senator, other nominees to the Supreme Court have responded as I will, which is that it is a policy question for Congress.
And I am particularly mindful of not speaking to policy issues because I am so committed to staying in my lane.
Yeah, what lane is that exactly?
You don't know what the Equal Protection Clause says.
You don't.
You don't know what a man is or a woman is.
You don't know when life begins.
And you won't even comment on whether men and women have differences.
So what lane exactly are you in charge of?
Supreme Court Justice Ignorance00:13:19
You don't know all the pedophiles you've let off before.
Let's go to another piece of sound here.
Okay, Cut 62.
Asked if she reached out to any of the victims of heroin trafficker.
Katanji Brown Jackson dismisses the question by saying there were no victims.
Play Cut 62.
Judge Jackson, before you granted this fentanyl kingpin's motion to reduce his sentence, did you contact any of the victims from his case?
Senator Mr. Young was not released.
His sentence was reduced, and I did not contact the victims in his case because there were no victims.
He committed a crime, a drug crime.
There were no identifiable victims in his case.
You hear that?
She says that people who peddle heroin, there's no victims.
She has a soft spot for the criminal.
She really does.
The lawbreaker.
Now, why would she have a soft spot for the criminal?
Because she views the world the way an academic or a leftist would view the world.
So in order for the left to be able to explain their worldview, they have to be able to explain to themselves and their fellow activists, where does suffering come from?
So we believe suffering is the natural state of human existence.
We believe in original sin.
We believe we are prone to mess things up.
The Bible is very clear about this, that human beings will end up being self-destructive, will end up being greedy, will end up being our own worst opponent in trying to make things progress or make civilization strong.
However, Katangi Brown Jackson disagrees with this.
She does not believe that the raw material that we're dealing with, human beings themselves, are flawed.
She thinks society is flawed.
Now, this is a romanticist view of the world.
It comes from one of the social contract theorists, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, who heavily influenced Karl Marx.
You see, if you believe that human suffering is largely because of society or capitalism, not because of something that is wrong within the human being itself, well, then you're going to have to change society.
So she'll go look at a child predator and say, you know what?
It's not really the child predator's fault.
It's the internet's fault.
She said that.
It's not exactly that it's the child molester's fault.
It's society that overwhelmed this person and was unable to really know their place in the world.
The view is getting really upset that Jackson is getting all these questions.
Play Cut 72.
The black woman who went to predominantly white institutions my entire life, I know how hard it is for her to get to where she is.
And I know what it's like to be the only person in the room.
And I cried because my daughter now will see this, because my cousins now will see this, and little girls all around the country will see this.
As a mother, what she said, and I think we have a clip, she said she did not always get the balance right between career and motherhood.
And what mom can't relate to that?
What are your cousins and daughter going to have to see?
A really like foolish, unintelligent black woman who doesn't prepare for her Senate confirmation?
Is that what makes you cry?
I mean, I guess.
I mean, one thing, if she was really prepared and she had answers and she had everything in front of her, but instead she kind of just scoffs with this sort of kind of dismissive arrogance.
And I don't say that lightly.
It's clear that Katanji was told by people, you have the regime media behind you.
Just don't say anything stupid.
Well, it turns out by trying not to say anything stupid, she didn't even answer the obvious question that makes her look really dumb and foolish.
And so I'd love to ask Sonny Hostin.
You know, she says, I've been the only person in the room.
Okay, enough of this sort of narrative.
It drives me nuts.
But what exactly do you not want your daughter or cousins to see about this?
Like maybe it's a lesson that you should do your homework.
Maybe you should prepare for tough things in life.
Because she's really kind of breaking the entire push for the affirmative action CRT regime.
Not exactly making it look good, I have to say.
Look at how the media treated Amy Coney Barrett versus Katanji Brown Jackson.
Amy Coney Barrett, who aced her Senate confirmation hearing with no notes in front of her.
Katanji Brown Jackson can't tell you what a woman is.
Play Cut 82.
Such a great day for history to be made, particularly with somebody with the credentials of Judge Katanji Brown Jackson, the nomination of Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court, which could bring potential setbacks on women's rights.
And she is the candidate of the base.
She is the full Trump program.
That was Judge Katanji Brown Jackson, President Joe Biden's overwhelmingly qualified pick.
Hey, Duke Gorsuch, Duke Kavanaugh Next, let's do a Hell Mary with the real right-wing lunatic.
The overwhelmingly qualified.
How is she qualified exactly?
What has moved you during this confirmation that has made you really feel as if you're confident she's going to be one of nine on the United States Supreme Court?
And there's some broader things at play here, which really goes to show that the Democrats just don't care.
They don't care if she's smart.
They don't care if she has the right answers.
They don't really care.
Instead, what they do care about is that she'll be useful.
They believe she'll vote the way they want her to vote.
She'll be the first black woman so they can check that box so that their base can be really happy and she will be obedient.
Katanji Brown Jackson will not have an original thought in any time when she's on the Supreme Court.
She's an activist.
She's not a judge.
She reminds me more of Patrice Cullers.
If Katanji Brown Jackson wouldn't be on the U.S. Supreme Court, she'd be running a BLM chapter in Louisville or Cleveland or Chicago or Atlanta.
She has praised Nicole Hannah Jones, the author of the 1619 project, who did a drive-by shooting of the United States Constitution and Declaration of Independence.
Washington Post and New York Times says that she's one of the most, if not the most qualified ever.
How exactly?
I could tell you someone who is qualified, and we're going to go back into the archives of the type of judges we used to have on the U.S. Supreme Court, the way they were able to explain context and detail the structure of the United States Constitution to be able to show the checks and balances, the separation of powers within the brilliance of the system of government that we have today.
Hey, everybody, people say this, and Plato actually said it first: ignorance is the root and the stem of all evil.
People say ignorance is bliss.
Wrong.
It's not.
Are you reading the headlines?
Are you looking around and seeing the things I am?
Look, Americans are being hoodwinked by half-truths, deceit, and propaganda, and our country is almost unrecognizable.
Normal is long gone, and the future is a dangerous place.
That's why you need a preparedness plan, and that's why you need to turn to my friends at MyPatriot Supply.

So we go from Katangi Brown Jackson.
Let's go back to how things were.
Justice Antonin Scalia, who passed away right before the 2016 election, and thank goodness we were able to fill Scalia's spot with Justice Gorsuch.
This is how Supreme Court justices used to talk.
PlayCut 84.
I asked them, what do you think is the reason that America is such a free country?
What is it in our Constitution that makes us what we are?
And I guarantee you that the response I will get, and you will get this from almost any American, including the woman that he was talking to at the supermarket, the answer would be freedom of speech, freedom of the press, no unreasonable searches and seizures, no quartering of troops in hope, those marvelous provisions of the Bill of Rights.
But then I tell them, if you think that a Bill of Rights is what sets us apart, you're crazy.
Every banana republic in the world has a Bill of Rights.
Every president for life has a Bill of Rights.
The Bill of Rights of the former evil empire, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, was much better than ours.
I mean it literally.
Justice Scalia was testifying in front of the U.S. Senate, and he was talking about his conversations with students at Yale law or students in law school, challenging them.
Why are we free in this country?
And they say, the First Amendment, the Fourth Amendment, no.
It's the structure.
If you don't know about the structure of the Constitution, if you don't know about the thought process or the weeds of the foundation of our system, then you don't quite understand why we're free.
And we're becoming less free because we don't teach children this.
We don't teach young people this.
We don't teach students this.
You hear how articulate he is, how passionate he is?
What a contrast versus the affirmative action CRT pick KBJ.
Next clip.
That constitution of the Soviet Union did not prevent the centralization of power in one person or in one party.
And when that happens, the game is over.
The Bill of Rights is just what our framers would call a parchment guarantee.
So, the real key to the distinctiveness of America is the structure of our government.
One part of it, of course, is the independence of the judiciary.
And he goes on.
You can listen to that whole clip.
We should put the whole thing up on charliekirk.com, actually.
It's a seven-minute clip.
It's one of the best that I've ever found of Scalia.
He was just in rare form that day.
Cut 55.
This is a refresher.
You go from Scalia.
Are things actually getting better?
Play Cut 55 to this.
Can you provide a definition for the word woman?
Can I provide a definition?
No.
Yeah.
I can't.
You can't?
Not in this context.
I'm not a biologist.
The meaning of the word woman is so unclear and controversial that you can't give me a definition.
Good for Marsha Blackburn.
You go from Scalia, talking about the Federalist Papers, talking about a parchment guarantee, talking about the structure of the system, separation of powers, and checks and balances, and the independent judiciary to fast forward to this.
How did we get here?
We got here.
Every single person in power that panders to this racial garbage of CRT is how we got here.
I have no problem with any person being on the Supreme Court of any skin color at all whatsoever.
But it is inarguable why Katanji was selected.
They said it out loud.
She was selected because of her skin color and her chromosomes, of which she doesn't even know what those mean.
For 10 years, we try to pander to all these racial minority movements.
For 10 years, conservatives have tried to say, well, you know, we need to try to hyper-fixate on race at all costs.
All the grievance groups, the oppression Olympics, this is what you get.
This is the country you're going to live in, everybody.
The trans groups, the grievance groups, police are killing unarmed black people.
All this stuff, it manifests in the policy of one of nine on a Supreme Court.
That's what you get.
You go from Scalia to KBJ.
