Andrew Clavin’s Smoking Hot Justice! skewers Amy Coney Barrett’s Supreme Court confirmation as a conservative coup, mocking leftist outrage over her originalist stance while praising Trump’s "sovereignty" rhetoric. He ridicules Ilhan Omar’s reproductive rights warnings and Ed Markey’s attacks on originalism as racist, framing Barrett’s appointment as a divine conservative victory. Clavin contrasts Trump’s swearing-in ceremony with media critiques like Peter Baker’s Times piece, then pivots to Biden’s gaffes—confusing Trump for George Lopez—while dismissing progressive defenses. The episode blends satire, legal philosophy, and election-year snipes, ending with a triumphant montage of Trump’s policy wins set to upbeat music. [Automatically generated summary]
2020 turned out to have one more big surprise up its sleeve yesterday.
Joe Biden left his basement.
After being ridiculed about hiding away by President Donald Trump, Biden emerged to announce that he had all the while been working 12-hour days, and each one of the 12 had been a back-breaking hour indeed.
The former vice president said he was pleased to be greeted by so many imaginary supporters and intended to shake each and every one of them by the hand before imagining some more.
Then, in a speech made to the cheering crowd in his head, he reassured the pretend people that the frightening yellow ball of fire that had been hovering over his house all afternoon was likely to sink into the Pacific and extinguish itself right around nightfall.
Biden said that the only reason he had not come out of the basement sooner was because he was preparing for the second debate.
He said he hoped he had won the debate and only wished he could have been there when he did, but he had to stay home and prepare.
Biden said he was further delighted to find that George, his imaginary opponent in the presidential race, already seemed to have resigned his office, although George had been replaced by Donald Trump, who also seemed quite formidable.
Biden said he was considering reimagining Trump as smaller and less intimidating.
Now that he was out of the basement, Biden said he was looking forward to voting in the next election just as soon as he found out who was running and which candidate he wanted to support.
When told that in fact he was running against Donald Trump, Biden said that was disappointing because he hadn't wanted to vote for Trump, but now felt he had no choice.
Before returning to his basement, Biden announced that after consulting with a team of scientists and other experts, he could now confirm he had seen his shadow and there would be six more weeks of winter.

Today, we've got a comment from LaR57, who's commenting on this Chelsea Handler story.
In case you hadn't heard this story, 50 Cent, one of Chelsea Handler's countless former lovers, 50 Cent said he might endorse Donald Trump because Biden was going to raise taxes so much he would have to become 20 Cent.
And Chelsea Handler said that if he would change his vote, she indicated that she would sleep with him again.
And then he did change his vote.
He said something obscene about Trump.
And Laura 57 says, so I guess Chelsea Handler thinks her body is worth 30 cents.
Apparently, 50 Cent must have agreed.
Which that sounds about the market value.
Yeah.

So, our leftist tears tumblers are overflowing today as we celebrate the first smoking hot Supreme Court justice, Amy Coney Barrett.
And it came on Hillary Clinton's birthday, too.
But enough about that.
Let's talk about me.
A year or so ago, I was contacted by a group in England that was starting a new conservative magazine over there, and they asked me to contribute a story, a fictional story for the first issue, which was the Christmas story.
So I wrote, if I may say so, one of the best stories I ever wrote, and it's a story that may now never be published.
The story was called Jesus the Movie.
It was about a bunch of dysfunctional Hollywood reprobates who get roped into filming a bargain basement biopic of Christ.
They're terrible people, and the adulterous screenwriter is trying to make it with the promiscuous actress who's playing the Virgin Mary.
The actor who plays Jesus is a drunk who gets in brawls with St. Peter, and the director is a pretentious Frenchman who's trying to deconstruct the whole story.
And the trick to the piece is that being in the presence of the life of Christ actually works a subtle miracle in the life of the screenwriter who returns home a new man without even knowing he's been transformed.
Now, the reason the story may never be published is because the new magazine I wrote it for lost its funding before it was published and crashed and burned, and they've never been able to get their funding back.
Without them, I have no idea where else to publish this story.
The piece is way too irreverent and ribbled for any Christian magazine, and it's way too Christian for any anti-Christian magazine, which is all the rest of them.
This is because people don't actually like to think about the way life and history truly work.
God unfolds his will in the flowering of good ideas, while human beings provide the hatred, bloodshed, and sin.
And this is true in our individual lives, and it's also true in history.
The individual sin and hatred and bloodshed that we provide makes life horrifying and entertaining.
God's good ideas win over time, despite the corruption in which we bring them into reality.
Yesterday, one of the most brilliant jurists in America, a black man named Clarence Thomas, swore in a likewise brilliant jurist, a cute dame, named Amy Coney Barrett.
She swore to protect a constitution created by white men in the 18th century, and some of those white men held people of Thomas's color in bondage, and none of them thought people of Barrett's sex should have the right to vote.
And yet, because of the great ideas in that constitution, ideas that were deduced by people over centuries of living a Christian life, these two people who once would have been thrown away are now cornerstones of our government.
And all of this was accomplished because some fractious, crazy reality TV guy who probably has never read the Constitution got elected president.
If that's not the will of God unfolding in history in spite of us through God's great ideas, I don't know what is.
And if you don't love a country that still knows how to stand back and let God do his thing while we're doing our best to screw everything up, you're just not paying attention.
This is a great, great country, and this is proof of it.
God has already blessed America for hundreds of years.
I hope he's not finished with this yet.
You know, as I'm lying awake, as I do every single night, endlessly, I like to be able to check on my house.
And one of the things I like about having a ring doorbell is you can see any place that thing is put.

I haven't wanted to play the Trump happiness montage.
And I'll be honest with you, I don't know whether we'll ever get to play it again, but this is the day we were given.
Let us rejoice in it and be glad.
Here is the Trump Happiness Montage Cut One.
We're going to win so much.
We're going to win at every level.
We're going to win economically.
We're going to win with the economy.
We're going to win with the military.
We're going to win with healthcare and for our veterans.
We're going to win with every single facet.
My, oh my, what a wonderful day.
We're going to win so much, you may even get tired of winning.
Yay!
You say, please, please, it's too much winning.
We can't take it anymore.
I feel pretty.
Oh, so pretty.
I feel pretty and witty and gay.
We have to keep winning.
We have to win more.
We're going to wait more.
I have missed that.
I hope we get four more years to play it every single day.
It was a great day yesterday.
So it wouldn't be, you know, we could talk about all the ramifications of Amy Coney Barrett and the new, what is now a conservative majority on the court, but it wouldn't really be as beautiful a moment if it weren't for the leftist tears.
So you may have noticed, if you're a subscriber and you have a leftist tears tumbler, you may have noticed it magically fills up with leftist tears on days like yesterday.
You can't get this anywhere else.
This is why our subscription is such a bargain.
It is a complete bargain because we have magic in our leftist tears tumbler.
I mean, the blaze does not give you, you know, you get Crowder's mug, it makes a good ashtray, but it does not automatically fill up on a day like this.
Let us just begin by taking a look at this truly beautiful, and I know the left would call it a historic moment.
You'd think that they would love this, a black guy swearing in a woman while a marginalized orange guy stands by.
But no, somehow they didn't like it.
We are going to just, we're just going to enjoy.
It's not really right to enjoy drinking leftist tears, but they just taste so good.
So let's just start by taking a look at this incredible swearing-in ceremony.
It's Cut 14.
I, Amy Coney Barrett, do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States.
That I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States.
Against all enemies, foreign and domestic.
Against all enemies, foreign and domestic.
That I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same.
That I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same.
So help me, God.
So help me, God.
So that really is a beautiful thing.
So if we want to start gathering our leftist tears, we want, you know, the cup doesn't, the tumbler doesn't just fill automatically.
It fills magically, but you have to go in search of leftist tears yourself.
It's kind of like that Pokemon game on your phone.
No better place to start with than with the New York Times, a former newspaper.
In swearing in Barrett, Trump defiantly mimics super spreader rose garden ceremonies.
There's Peter Baker.
This is the chief White House correspondent of the New York Times.
All he can think about is that they're not wearing a mask when they do that.
He says, President Trump, who loves to boast of doing anything his predecessors have never done, pulled off such a historic first on Monday.
He won confirmation of a Supreme Court justice only eight days before a presidential election, rushing his choice through the Senate before voters decide whether to give him four more years or kick him out of office.
Mr. Trump then did something else no other president has done.
He hosted a nighttime ceremony on the White House lawn to swear in Justice Amy Coney Barrett in a virtual do-over of the super spreader event, blamed for infecting multiple people with the coronavirus a month ago to the day, including the president himself, who was forced to spend three nights in the hospital.
To Mr. Trump, the first history maker outweighed the second.
How he knows this, I don't know.
A chance to celebrate a landmark political victory regardless of the risk.
I don't even know what this guy's talking about.
We shouldn't be talking about Amy Coney Barrett when we can talk about disease.
Here's the better version from MSNBC's Chris Hayes, cut four.
There's one thing that was missing in his speech.
It's something that's been missing from a lot of conservatives I see writing about the election.
Something else that Mitch McConnell and the institutional Republican Party and all the staffers and the lawyers and the factotums and the functionaries and the people sitting in the White House watching this right now, perhaps, the people in Capitol Hill who have TV on right now and the right-wing press who've been supporting and spinning for this president and the people who work for Donald Trump himself and all of his apologists who like to post as independent thinkers, too clever by half, removed from it all, something that every last one of them have done together, other than Supreme Court justices, which cannot be reversed.
And that is they have participated in a project that has led to the deaths of probably 100,000 Americans who didn't have to die.
Congratulations.
You got that done too.
That also can't be reversed.
They can't come back.
We can't undo that.
That's the other accomplishment here.
Judge Barrett.
Honan, what is best in life?
To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of your women.
It's the lamentation of the women like Chris Hayes on MSNBC.
This is fun.
I'm just going to do this for the whole show.
This is too much fun.
And listen, I want to make it absolutely clear.
I'm not making fun of people, obviously, who've gotten ill or who've died or have lost people to this virus.
What I'm making fun of is the superstition, the superstition that Donald Trump somehow had some superpower to make a disease go away, which he didn't have.
It's spreading.
It's coming back in Europe, all over Europe.
It's the flu season.
I mean, this is it.
It's getting cold and people are getting more, being more indoors.
And so it's going to come back.
This is not something that Donald Trump has any power over.
And this number that they keep saying where they say, oh, the numbers in America are worse than others.
Those are meaningless statistics.
They're meaningless statistics.
We do not know how many people have it.
Our testing is better than other people, so we record more numbers.
We have more people than other people.
We don't know how many people are actually dying of the disease.
I'm not making fun of that.
I'm making fun of the fact that this idea that Donald Trump is somehow the disease himself.
I mean, you know, this is kind of off on a tangent, but I just have to play it just because more leftist tears.
The more leftist tears, the merrier we are.
Here is Chris Cuomo in an argument about this with Trump spokesman Tim Murtaugh and Cuomo saying that Trump doesn't take this seriously.
This is Cuomo who held up a gigantic Q-tip to show how big a nose his brother Andrew Cuomo, who killed all those old people by putting them into the rest homes.
Put the sick people into the restaurants.
So, Tim Murtog holds up a picture of that as they're arguing.
I just want to play this for the leftist tears, fun of it, is Cut 25.
Chris, I find it curious.
Speaking of your brother, you're going to ask me these self-righteous questions and talk about people taking it seriously.
Does this look like a couple of guys who are taking it seriously?
You had your brother on for the Cuomo Brothers Comedy Hour, joking about the size of the Q-tip that you would need for his nose to test.
Does this sound like somebody who was taking it very seriously?
Tim, let me know.
And the president has done this every step of the way.
Tim, I got it.
Every step of the way, and he's done everything that states had to ask.
All right, so let's deal with that.
That's not true.
And you know it, but you decide to say what you want to say.
Tim, he sent a hospital ship to New York that they really didn't adequately.
They didn't need it.
And thank God they didn't need it.
Tim, listen.
You are not going to flood the zone.
On this show, it was extra assistance.
I'm telling you, I'll cut you off.
You're not going to flood the zone on this show.
Now, you took your swing.
It missed.
So now let's discuss.
That's the best you got.
Is that my brother didn't take COVID seriously?
Are you kidding yourself?
I just want to say that in the spirit of Chris Cuomo, we're going to be making fun of Chris Cuomo and all the leftists who think that this is somehow about this disease.
Just one more quick one, just for my own personal entertainment.
Joe Scarborough talking about, as he's watching the ceremony, this is cut 10.
Nobody's ever done so much to kill so many people.
That is correct.
That's true.
Nobody.
Literally nobody.
Nobody in the White House.
It just hasn't.
You got to hand that down.
Yes, you do.
That he has made history.
If it wasn't so sad, I'd laugh harder.
I'm, you know, I'm not enjoying, oh, I am.
I just so am.
I am so enjoying.
I can't help myself.
See, some people, it's alcohol, some people, it's cigarettes.
With me, it's leftist tears.
We have literally, Donald Trump has literally killed more literal people than literally Hitler on the Joe Scarborough show.
But let's not, let's be clear.
They are planning revenge.
I mean, this is the rage that spreads through them.
They mean to take revenge if they win the White House.
Here is Nancy Pelosi, cut 20.
It was 100, well, in 1879, in 1876, there were nine justices on the court.
Our population has grown enormously since then.
Should we expand the court?
Well, let's take a look and see.
But not, and that relates to the nine district courts.
Maybe we need more district courts as well.
And here's Nancy Pelosi being shown a crucifix by Anthony Hopkins.
All right.
I may be slightly out of control here.
I'm not sure.
You know, it's been a long time since I had to write a resume, but I can remember, just to show you what a trauma it is, I can remember the absolute anxiety of trying to figure out how to put my career and my experience and my lack of experience down on paper to make it impressive enough so that people would call me in for an interview.

It's K-L-A-V-A-N.
They're very easy.
Like I said.
They're serious about this, the packing the court.
They're serious about the left-wing agenda.
They absolutely mean it.
Do not, I mean, I don't think anybody who's listening to this show is fooled.
But Ilan Omar, this is interesting.
She was doing an axios.
This is an HBO show, Axios on HBO.
And she was asked to respond to the Republican accusation that Joe Biden is a Trojan horse for leftism.
Here's her response.
This is cut eight.
One attack line that Republicans, including the president and the vice president, have consistently used is that Biden is, and this is a quote, a Trojan horse of the radical left.
And that progressive leaders will actually be calling the shots.
What do you think when you hear them say that?
I know that for them, we've become sort of the boogeyman of the election.
But it's because of two things.
One, it's because we are not backing down in holding this administration and the Republicans accountable and calling their hypocrisy out.
But we also resonate with the challenges that everyday Americans are having.
So that's a yes.
He is a Trojan horse for the left.
Here's the thing that kind of gets me about this.
The same people, I mean, literally the same people, who want to bring in leftism, who want to bring in essentially communism, who don't like Christianity, who don't like the traditions and the norms of the country.
The same people are worried that Amy Coney Barrett is going to endanger those traditions and norms.
Here is also Ilhan Omar reacting to the swearing in of Amy Coney Barrett, the first smoking hot Supreme Court justice, Cut 22.
It's leaving so many Americans really worried about what this would mean for them, what it would mean for women in regards to their reproductive rights, what it would mean for immigrants like myself when it comes to our religious liberty, what it would mean for our brothers and sisters in the queer community or the trans folks in our community when it comes to their rights to equality.
We also know that there are so many people who are worried because they have pre-existing conditions.
And I mean, and that's just a tip of the iceberg.
And here's Ilhan Omar being shown a crucifix by Anthony Hopkins.
I'm sorry, that was just, just odd.
I really should not do that, but I can't help it.
I just can't help it.
This whole thing about packing the court is interesting because my question is, if Nancy Pelosi is right and our population has grown so much that for some reason the Supreme Court now has to have more people on it because we have nowhere else to house them, so we have to house the people in the Supreme Court.
If that's true, does it hold good if Trump wins?
If Trump wins this election, as there's very definitely a chance, I mean, the tide is turning even in the polls, and I think those polls may not be as accurate as they should be.
So it's certainly, and the difference between his rallies and Biden's basement utterances is quite amazing.
So if Trump wins, does the logic of this still hold?
Do we still need to pack the courts?
Do we still need two, three, four extra people?
And if we do get two, three, four extra and Trump fills those spaces with conservative justices, is that okay too?
I mean, does it work both ways?
You know, the Lincoln Project, I mean, this is really interesting.
The Lincoln Project is, you know, the Bill Crystal, why aren't I still important project?
Why didn't you like my endless wars project?
Where's my, what happened to my magazine, the Weekly Standard Project?
They put out this ad today.
Just amazing.
A tearful mom awakes her son in the middle of the night on election day.
Here it is, cut 26.
Hey, honey.
You asked me to wake you and tell you what happened in the election.
Who won?
Trump.
Trump won.
But I thought you could only be president two times.
not anymore it's an amazing new filming technique where they can actually film inside their own heads And what I don't understand about this is I thought we liked packing the court.
Packing the court is good.
That was FDR, right?
We like the New Deal because we have the Green New Deal.
And FDR ran four times.
So what's the problem?
Is it only the left who gets to do this?
Is there some kind of precedent that because FDR does it, only the Democrats get to do this stuff?
It is being inside their heads is quite amazing because you have to just live in this complete illogical world where nothing fits with anything else.
Oh, we like black people, but if you disagree with us, you ain't black.
We want women to be on the Supreme Court.
Not that woman, not that woman, because she's just a handmaid from the handmaid's tale on the Supreme Court.
It's like, then there's also just the pure gracelessness of it.
Here is Kamala Harris being asked whether this brilliant jurist is qualified to be on the Supreme Court, this brilliant, Kamala Harris, who does nothing but point to her gender and her color, who does nothing but identity politics.
And now she's asked if this brilliant woman is qualified to be on the Supreme Court.
This is cut nine.
Do you believe she's qualified for the Supreme Court and what will your vote be?
I believe that this whole process has been absolutely illegitimate.
The American people are voting by the tens of millions and the election is going to be over in nine days.
And let the American people, and the majority of Americans agree with this, by the way.
Let the American people decide who's going to be their next president and then let that president decide who fills a lifetime term on the highest court in our land.
But do you feel this is voting against her?
Do you feel she's qualified though?
I believe this is an absolutely illegitimate process.
And here's Kamala Harris being shown a crucifix by Andy Hawkins.
Let's not get the Lord!
I'm sorry.
Am I having too much fun, but we may never get to do this again.
So, yeah, and the thing is, you're just jealous because you didn't subscribe and you don't have the magical leftist tears tumbler.
Here's another one I love.
This is Judge.
There's a couple of clips today that are just so wonderful.
Here's Chuck Schumer warning people that this is the worst day in American history of Amy Coney Barrett.
This is before the vote making a speech on the Senate floor as Cut 18.
Generations yet unborn will suffer the consequences of this nomination.
As the globe gets warmer, as workers continue to fall behind, as unlimited dark money floods our politics, as reactionary state legislatures curtail a woman's right to choose, gerrymander districts and limit the rights of minorities to vote.
My deepest, greatest, and most abiding sadness tonight is for the American people and what this nomination will mean for their lives, their freedoms, their fundamental rights.
Monday, October 26th, 2020, it will go down as one of the darkest days in the 231-year history of the United States Senate.
Here's Chuck Schumer being shown a crucifix by Anthony Hopkins.
My favorite part of this was the generations yet unborn will suffer from Amy Coney Barrett because they'll be born.
I mean, that's why.
As long as Roe v. Wade is in place, we don't have to worry about the generations yet unborn because they won't get born, so they won't suffer.
Unbelievable stuff.
And maybe the best take of all, maybe the best take of all comes from Ed Markey from Massachusetts.
This is really amazing because obviously Amy Coney Barrett is an originalist who reads the Constitution as if it were the law and as if it means what it says.
And this is what Ed Markey says about that.
Originalism is racist.
Originalism is sexist.
Originalism is homophobic.
For originalists like Judge Barrett, LGBT stands for let's go back in time.
A time when you couldn't marry who you love.
When you couldn't serve in the military if you were trans, a time when rights were not extended to gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, or intersex individuals.
Originalism is just a fancy word for discrimination.
But this year, get any!
I like to hear the lamentations of their women.
I...
You know, the funny thing about this is this is not an offbeat thing that he's saying, that in other words, to obey the Constitution is to live in the 18th century, which is, of course, what we started out talking about, that that's not true, that ideas work themselves out over time.
And even as an originalist, you understand that you are applying the original law to new systems and new ideas.
But this is not an offbeat thing on the left.
Offbeat HR Concerns00:02:40
This is a growing idea that the problem is the Constitution.
The Atlantic Magazine, what used to be the Atlantic Magazine, and now is just the magazine that is called the Atlantic Magazine, did a thing, the Constitution is in crisis.
The system is rigged, and it's the Constitution that's doing the rigging.
This is an idea that's actually spreading through the left, that the whole problem that we're facing is that we have this Constitution.
And that's what makes it so comical, so comical that Donald Trump is, as the New York Times put it, the greatest threat to American democracy since World War II, because for them, the greatest threat to American democracy is American democracy.
All right.

So this is what gets me about it.
The left basically is saying that the threat to America is the Constitution.
They say this when, you know, this illegitimate process by which a president nominated a woman to the Supreme Court and the Senate, in advice and consent, voted her in.
That's an illegitimate process.
The process, the court has been packed by Republicans because they keep winning elections and appointing justices.
I mean, this is the logic.
And meanwhile, here is the evil, no good, terrible, very bad Donald Trump at this ceremony, this evil, no good, very bad, terrible ceremony, super spreader ceremony.
Here he is talking about what this means to the country.
This is cut 12.
This is a momentous day for America, for the United States Constitution, and for the fair and impartial rule of law.
The Constitution is the ultimate defense of American liberty.
The faithful application of the law is the cornerstone of our republic.
That is why, as president, I have no more solemn obligation and no greater honor than to appoint Supreme Court justices.
So that's, I mean, that doesn't really sound the same as Ilhan Omar, who's talking about, oh, the right, and Ed Markey, who's talking about the rights of trans to marry, you know, animals or whatever it is they're doing these days.
I have no idea.
But I mean, listen, I'm not against people having, you know, since marriage is no longer a religious institution, since it's no longer protected in any special way, the relationship between men and women that creates our future, creates our population, which is the center of human life as far as I'm concerned, that it no longer has a protected status.
It doesn't really matter to me once you've destroyed that relationship with no-fault divorce.
Who else gets to enjoy a relationship?
That doesn't matter to me, but it has nothing to do with liberty.
It has nothing to do with your rights to be left alone, your rights to say what you want to say, your rights to worship as you want to worship, all the things that make conscience, that give conscience equal power with the government, if not greater power than the government.
So here is the terror, the terror of the left, Amy Coney Barrett, now smoking hot Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett at her speech after her swearing in is cut 15.
It is the job of a judge to resist her policy preferences.
It would be a dereliction of duty for her to give in to them.
Federal judges don't stand for election.
Thus, they have no basis for claiming that their preferences reflect those of the people.
This separation of duty from political preference is what makes the judiciary distinct among the three branches of government.
Bookhead!
Yes, he's smoking hot Supreme Court Justice.
You know, there really is a lot to celebrate here for the moments we get to celebrate it before the left destroys our country.
James Toronto, who is the brilliant editor of the editorial page on the, not the editorial page, the opinion page of the Wall Street Journal, he has put together the greatest opinion page in the country and one of the greatest opinion pages I've ever seen in the country.
He wrote a really important piece today.
And I think this is really worth thinking about because I didn't think about it.
It actually is an idea that I didn't have and it came just by reading this.
He talks about the fact that Chief Justice Roberts so often votes on the left.
And a lot of people think that he is doing this because of the threats he's getting from the left, that they'll pack the court if they don't get the decisions that they want.
Toronto says a charitable observer would say that Chief Justice Roberts is concerned about the court's legitimacy and independence, that he wishes above all to avoid the perception that it responds to political pressure.
An uncharitable one would say that in pursuit of that objective, he is creating not only the appearance, but the reality of a political court.
Either way, with a Republican-appointed majority of associate justices, the Chief Justice has lost his tiebreaking power.
Now, the reason this is important, says Toronto, is this is where Justice Thomas comes in.
The Chief Justice is an especially potent swing voter because he also has the power to assign authorship of the majority opinion, right?
So including he can assign it to himself.
And that helps shape the decision's scope and direction.
So in other words, the guy who writes the majority opinion is writing the law, is writing the precedent.
And he can decide whether a law has been swept off the books.
He can decide whether it's just being negated in certain places.
And this is important.
And some people have even argued that Roberts votes when he thinks the left is going to win.
He votes on that side so he can write the opinion and mitigate it.
But the fact is that to me, he just looks like he's lost his nerve.
He's lost his nerve.
He's being threatened by the left.
And he basically caves into them.
But here's the important point that Toronto makes.
If the Chief Justice is in dissent, the power to assign who writes the decision falls to the most senior associate justice in the majority, right?
So if the conservatives win by a 5-4 margin and John Roberts is on the other side, he's on the liberal side, then the next most senior justice gets to assign who writes the opinion.
The next justice is Clarence Thomas.
And Clarence Thomas is a big man.
He has a big mind and he's a man who thinks in big terms.
He's the guy who has been bold enough to say that we should get rid of old precedents.
He's mentioned specifically that he thinks Roe v. Wade was wrongly decided.
So he would be writing if Roberts continues to be bullied over to the left, he would be handing the right to write the decisions over to Justice Thomas because now we have this new justice on the court.
You know, a lot of this, I know we're talking about appointing a woman to the court, which is fine and wonderful, but really what we're watching is a Republican Party that has found its manhood and has found it because of Donald Trump.
Donald Trump has proved to them that you can win by standing up to the press.
They didn't know it before.
They didn't do it before.
They basically were just kind of mitigating the slow destruction of the government, of our freedoms by leftism.
They were just saying, well, we'll do it slower than you're doing it.
With Donald Trump, they have learned there is an audience.
Not only is there an audience for actual conservative governance, but if you govern conservatively, that audience will grow.
A majority of people, a majority of people wanted to see Amy Cooney Barrett confirmed.
Why?
Because they saw her with their own eyes on television during the confirmation process.
And when they hear our ideas, when they think like, oh yeah, a judge making decisions according to the law, not according to what Ilhan Omar thinks would be a good idea, or Ed Markey thinks would be a good idea for cultural change, but making it according to the law, that's a good thing because that means that I can vote in people to change the law if I want.
I can vote for amendments to the Constitution.
I can change the Constitution.
There are a lot of hilarious people on Twitter saying, well, if you're so much for originalism, how are you ever going to change the Constitution?
But the original Constitution comes with instructions, an instruction booklet called The Constitution on how to change the Constitution.
In other words, interpreting the law according to the law gives power to the people.
And that is what we're arguing about.
What you're arguing about is where does the sovereignty in American government lie?
We're saying that, no, it belongs with the people.
It doesn't belong with the people if you don't enforce the law that the people's representatives have passed.
It doesn't belong with the people if you just say, oh, you know, you have a right to an abortion.
I can't find it here, but I feel it.
I feel it.
I feel a right to gay marriage is in the Constitution.
Like Enin Scalia said, I don't care whether gay people get married or not.
What I do care about is how that law gets made because that's what gives me my power.
You know, you hear people on the elite saying people don't really have to have power.
They just have to feel like they have power.
Well, I have an answer for that, but I can't say it on the air.
People have to have power in order for this to still be America.
And that's what we're fighting over.
That's entirely what we're fighting over.
The originalism, the whining and the complaining, oh, originalism is going to take away our right to gay marriage is because they didn't get gay marriage the right way.
It's not about whether gay marriage is right or wrong.
It's how you get it.
You don't impose it by five justices, by five lawyers who happen to have been appointed to the Supreme Court.
You've got to do it by the representative of the people.
That's the way it works.
I got to play, I have to play this because I would have played this just all day.
I would have had my entire show be this one clip because Biden at his event, he was actually scared out of the basement by Donald Trump saying he's locked in the basement.
And they asked him about the Supreme Court and they've got the cameras on him.
You've got to see this while he's talking, while he's talking, his people come and take the cameras away and you can see why.
This is Biden talking about whether to pack the Supreme Court, Cut Seven.
Here's the deal.
One of the things that is important is that keep in mind, although they're going to vote on Barrett.
Just goes wandering off and they lead the cameras away from him.
We're done here now.
And remember that thing is it is in Lord of the Rings somebody says not all who wander are lost.
Biden is both wandering and lost.
These are just some of my top clips for the day.
Here's Biden talking about Kamala Harris's husband cut six.
But my wife, Jill, as you know, and Doug Emhoff, Kamala's wife are there.
Kamala will be back later this week, I think on Friday.
Kamala's wife is there.
Yesterday, we played that clip of Biden saying that if he didn't win, we'd have four more years of George.
Remember, this is cut 28.
We played again.
Because who I'm running against, this is the most consequential election in a long, long, long time.
And the character of the country, in my view, is literally on the ballot.
What kind of country we're going to be?
Four more years of George.
George, he is going to find ourselves in a position where if Trump gets elected, we're going to be in a different world.
So he came back and he found the Trump.
But the Washington Post actually published a correction because it did seem that he was confusing Trump with George W. Bush, but he was talking to George Lopez.
So they said, oh, no, he didn't confuse Trump with George W. Bush.
He confused him with George Lopez, who was really saying we'd have four more years of George Lopez.
That was somehow supposed to be better.
I mean, this is this routine, this defensive line the press is running to defend their guy so they can get him over the goal line.
I made the joke that he was referring to George Michael of Wham, but apparently I thought actually the Washington Post was funnier.
Finally, I just one more thing I've got to read here is the reaction to the reaction to the nomination to the confirmation of Amy Coney Barrett coming from Michael Moore, the filmmaker.
Michael Moore wrote a poem about the confirmation process.
I want to give it a dramatic reading, okay?
Here's Michael Moore's poem about Amy Coney Barrett, first smoking hot Supreme Court justice of the United States.
Yeah, here it is.
Whack the court.
Pack it, stack it, frack it, smack it, shellac it, clack it, knickknack, and patty whack it.
Crack it open, shack it up, rack it.
Yes, it's a racket.
Black it, brown it, green it, blue it, expand it, term limit it, fix it.
Now.
So that's Michael Moore's bald reference.
And here's Anthony Hopkins holding up a Cruzevix to Michael Moore.
There it is.
Palm is Michael.
All right.
I'm sorry.
This show has obviously gotten out of control.
I think the only thing we can do is end this show by playing what I hope won't be for the last time.
I hope it'll be the first of many more times to come.
But if it is the last time, this is the day that we were given, let us rejoice in it and be glad.
Here is one more time, the Donald Trump happiness montage.
We're going to win so much.
We're going to win at every level.
We're going to win economically.
We're going to win with the economy.
We're going to win with military.
We're going to win with healthcare and for our veterans.
We're going to win with every single facet.
Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, zip-a-dee-ay.
My, oh my, what a wonderful day.
We're going to win so much, you may even get tired of winning.
Yay!
You say, please, please, it's too much winning.
We can't take it anymore.
I feel pretty.
Oh, so pretty.
I feel pretty and witty and gay.
We have to keep winning.
We have to win more.
We're going to wait more.

You know, the Matt Wall Show, it's not just another show about politics.
I think there are enough of those already out there.
We talk about culture because culture drives politics and it drives everything else.
So my main focuses are life, family, faith.
Those are fundamental, and that's what this show is about.
