DIRTY10 I'm looking at you.
In today's daily briefing, I want to start off with a hypothetical.
I want you to think for just a second.
Hypotheticals are what I love.
I call them thought experiments.
I just kind of sit back and I think.
Imagine what it would look like right now if we could take all of our current technology, all of our current social media technology, and either move it back or move World War II, Hitler, fascism forward.
My question is, how would we handle it today?
Think very carefully.
Ask yourself this question.
Think.
Andy and Carol and Puff and Fat and Ugly, Donnie Boy, everybody, ask yourself this question.
Ask yourself this question.
What would it look like?
Well, first thing, there would be a number of memes making fun of Hitler.
How he looked.
What he said, speeches, there would be memes and gifs and TikTok, and we would mock it.
He would be mocked.
We would do it that way.
We would mock Hitler, I think.
Second, we would have Our local programs.
You would have, of course, a guest.
You would have couches.
You would have The View or morning shows.
And then you would have a series of nincompoops, ne 'er-do-wells, illiterates, and fools, basically, opining about Hitler.
Presuming, of course, we didn't like Hitler.
I don't know at this point if we like Hitler or not.
Not really sure.
Nothing would be covered in terms of the depth, where he was moving, the notion of the axis, the history, where he's from.
You would never have Murrow, Cronkite, Charles Corralt.
You would never have Murrow's boys.
You would never have a very serious...
Look at this.
Winston Churchill would have been mocked and laughed at.
Translation, we wouldn't be able to handle this seriously.
We wouldn't know what to do with it.
We wouldn't know what to do with it.
We would laugh ourselves into oblivion.
The children would maybe, I don't know, maybe, who knows?
We would see pink-haired, nose-ringed children yelling and screaming.
The bottom line is we will not be able to appreciate at all the seriousness of the event.
This I can assure you.
This I can guarantee you by virtue of what we're seeing right now.
Because we don't understand what's happening.
Nor do we understand the gravity of it.
Nor do we understand how the level of transformation of our society is like nothing we have seen.
The enemy is internal.
The existential enemy to our republic is internal.
Right off the bat, that would have been lost on 90% of every morning news program there is.
It would have been lost.
Nobody would have understood existential.
What's he talking about?
That's not the way we work.
I said something yesterday, and I'm going to say something right now.
And I know this sounds really...
How do I say this?
It was in a piece I did last night, which I think was very good.
I want to explain this to you.
And I hope you've got some time, because I've got to cover some stuff which we're not even remotely talking about at levels that I think are important.
But I did something last night that sounds very high-fluid.
But if you're a subscriber, you would have received this moment of brilliance.
And, oh, for Christ's sake.
To the day I said, oh, for Christ's sake.
Somebody said, don't blaspheme.
I said, what's blasphemous?
Don't say Christ.
Why?
Because it's blasphemous.
I'm not blaspheming Christianity.
I'm using the name of it.
What are you talking about?
God damn it.
Don't say that.
Why?
That's blasphemy.
I'm not damning God.
Who else is going to damn something but God?
God, I believe, is the only one with the jurisdiction to execute damnation.
Who else should I call upon to?
Anyway.
Last item is called, I'm not smarter than the rest.
I'm just a hell of a lot wiser.
It's wisdom.
Now you're going to say to yourself, wait a minute, this guy just say wisdom?
Wisdom.
What's wisdom?
Listen to me.
Follow me on this one.
I know this is unnatural for people because when you hear a lot of folks, they'll show you a story about Roe or about Elizabeth Warren.
Let's see, Jennifer Warren's great singer, by the way, especially with Cohen.
Anyway, and they'll talk about that.
Or we'll talk about...
How the vote was stolen in 2020.
That just does nothing for me.
It's interesting, but that's not it.
In a triage matter, that's not it.
But let me go through this.
So spend some time with us.
As we get older, a lot of us are in the position of trying our best to figure out the world.
And a while back, years ago, they did this study on young people.
Young people versus older people.
I'm not exactly sure how older people meant, whatever that meant, whatever age older meant.
But anyway, they took two groups of people.
They took the younger people, the young folks, and they lined them up.
And they took the older folks, and they lined them up.
And they had them do a particular task.
And the task that was done was very simple.
The first category of task was just very quick, like...
Just answer the question, kind of mental gymnastics, quick, almost like mental agility.
You know, can you answer the question?
Brute force mentality.
Answer the question.
Okay, good.
And in that, the younger folks did better than the older.
But here's the catch.
Listen to me carefully.
In the second group, they ask people the following.
They said, do you see a difference?
Do you see a significant difference between these two situations?
What's different from this, from this?
Here are two situations.
Are they the same, or are they different?
Years ago, we would sit, remember when you were in a doctor's office, you had that highlights, you ever read highlights, goofus and gallant, and one was, I love this one.
What's in this picture that's not in this picture?
I loved that.
Because you have to scan one and then scan another or put them side by side and tell the difference.
What do you call that in life when you weigh the differences?
When you weigh situational differences, it's called judgment.
It's called judgment.
And that's what older people have done.
It's not that we're smarter.
Wiser.
Wisdom is judgment.
We've seen things before.
We've seen it.
We've met a lot of people.
We've been in a lot of situations.
We've seen a lot of stuff before.
And we know we've just seen this.
It's not that we're smarter.
We don't know more, necessarily.
But we're more experienced.
We've seen it.
It's like a doctor.
Show me a pediatrician who's seen a thousand kids with the flu.
Versus a brand new Harvard medical student who hasn't seen any.
Or seen three.
He's probably smarter.
One could argue.
Better educated.
But the pediatrician, old Doc Harrison over here, who's seen a million kids, seen everything there is!
Can tell.
Oh yeah, I've seen that.
Can you tell me what the flu is?
I've seen it.
That's where we are.
And we need wisdom.
We're not getting wisdom.
We're getting...
I don't know what we're getting.
Now, next point.
Sometimes, not you, not you, but sometimes some of you get very upset when you hear news you don't like.
You don't like this.
I said, do you remember?
How many remember?
Because many of you have been with me.
I don't know when I started this.
I don't know what years ago.
I have no idea.
But...
As far as this goes.
But I said, Trump is going to lose this.
Trump is not paying attention.
Trump is misreading everything.
Trump is not reading.
He is not...
He's not understanding the horizon.
He is not understanding this.
Do you remember this?
And many, many folks, many took great umbrage.
They didn't like it because they were almost like children.
Because they didn't want to hear me say things that were bad.
They didn't want to see things that were bad.
They did not like this.
And I'm telling you, truth will out.
To use the...
The reference, truth will out.
They didn't like it.
And I'm saying, he's not doing this.
He's not paying attention.
He doesn't understand elections.
I know what I'm talking about.
Let me give you another example.
Let's talk about wisdom.
There's a commentator, you might have heard her, Barry Weiss.
She does sub-stack and she left the Times and the Post.
And she was talking about all these, when Hillary Clinton was running, There were these meters that showed she was going to win and she was going to win.
And Barry Weiss' mother said, listen, I'm here in Pennsylvania and wherever.
And I'm seeing, this is 2016, and I'm seeing Barnes and people showing this perfervid, almost Trump...
Lunacy in terms of how much they love him.
He's going to win!
And Barry Weiss said, Mom, you're out of your mind.
You don't understand this.
He's not going to win.
Trump, Trump, it's Hillary Clinton.
The wisdom, the wise mother, the political, the person who understands this, said, No.
No, I see what's happening here.
I don't care what your metrics say.
You don't understand this.
Now what I am telling you, based upon my years here, my observations, my look at the patient, the patient being our country, what I'm seeing here is very, very scary.
What I'm seeing is our country headed straight for disaster.
Straight.
A complete And total transformation of this country like we have never seen before.
Let me tell you something.
Irreparable.
No correction.
No correction.
I don't know how to say this.
I don't know how to say this.
I don't know how to put this into words.
I'm afraid I'm going to scare people.
This is irreparable.
And they always think of war.
They always think of battle.
They always think of Visigoths and Nazis coming over the horizon.
That's not what we're talking about.
What I'm doing and what I'm talking about is something far more insidious.
Wars are...
Brutal.
They're the loss of life.
We're losing something here that we cannot ever, ever, ever put into position.
This is the most important thing in the world.
I can't say this enough.
It's not left and right anymore.
It's not Democrats and Republicans anymore.
I put something on my YouTube channel.
It was a piece.
It was something from Blacklist.
And there were two instances where somebody described some things which are very, very interesting.
One was, basically, they called it the Cabal.
And Reddington does his little speech about the Cabal.
The Cabal is a shadow government.
It's what I talk about.
Exactly.
It's perfect.
And the fact that he was said, Means they want you to know it.
Second of all, this is also critical.
In Barney Miller, years ago, there was a scene where...
What is the fellow...
What was the fellow who was in the cross-dressing show?
They got rid of him.
Bald-headed.
Remember that?
Anyway.
He was the actor who was in that show.
He played the trans person.
Anyway, he's doing this thing with Dietrich.
And he's explaining the New World Order.
Explaining conspiracy theories.
And it's so perfect.
And it's Barney Miller.
It's this throwaway moment.
It's exactly right.
See, they tell you this.
They tell you specifically how things work.
Every now and then, they love it.
Maybe they don't realize it.
Maybe they don't understand it.
Maybe they just don't get it.
But listen to what he says about the cabal, and you can find it.
Now, right off the bat, there is not one television show today on any cable platform or any place.
Jeffrey Tambor.
Jeffrey Tambor.
Right.
He played this character.
Go back and look at him.
There is nobody who is doing this.
And the reason for this, after devoting 16 minutes of this, is that there is no interest in understanding and paying a particular amount of time, in reverence, if you will, over the plight that we're in.
It's just not there.
It is nowhere to be found.
Hearing somebody from a school board discuss how there has to be tampon dispensers in the boys' room doesn't even come close.
That's low-hanging fruit.
Explaining Roe Explaining what happened.
Nobody understands this.
Nobody.
Let me tell you this.
Let me be specific.
Let me go out on a limb and let me be as blunt as I possibly can.
I have not heard one person.
Not one person.
And maybe I'm not listening to everything.
Maybe I should be.
Maybe I'm just not covering enough stuff and that could be.
I stand corrected.
I have never heard anybody from Alan Dershowitz, any of the legal scholars.
Any of the people, anybody, anybody, anywhere, even remotely tell you what the Roe case is about and why, what the issue is.
Nobody.
Nobody.
And the reason for that is multifold.
Number one.
Number one.
As I said, number one.
It's dry.
It's dry.
Do you know that when people wanted to talk about COVID.
Nobody dared.
Every now and then we had a Marty McCary or some doctor who would explain, well, here's how, here's the way a variant makes, and this is what an ACE receptor, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Americans don't do that.
We don't go to school.
We don't understand science.
Stop, stop, stop, stop.
Just let's make fun of Fauci.
Yeah, but don't you want to understand how the virus works?
No.
Don't you understand what SARS-CoV-2 is?
Don't you know what a coronavirus is?
No.
No, no, no, no, no.
We're stupid.
We don't go to school.
We're not in school.
I don't know what that means.
Just give me a big picture.
Masks don't work.
There is no COVID.
China.
That's it.
That's all I want to know.
Even though the essence of the issue of COVID is understanding the mechanics, the biomedical mechanics of how viruses are transmitted, nobody wants to hear because they can't.
They do not have the intellectual power, firepower, the interest, nothing.
They don't have it.
And for you to sit here and spend one minute, one single, isolated, solitary minute, talking about Roe v.
Wade, not reading the draft opinion, Not reading it.
You've never read it.
How are you talking about this if you haven't read it?
And, if you didn't read it, and then go to somebody maybe who understands it and say, please explain this to me.
Only in America do we riot, do we march, do we scream and yell and chant and rant and pant and cant, which we shant, without understanding what we're talking about.
Let me say this again.
I still don't think it's important.
I still don't think people get what I'm saying.
You don't even understand what it said.
And the closest I think, the closest somebody said is, well, this is about people voting.
Voting.
They should vote on vote.
That's not what it's about.
Do you think people should vote about slavery?
well, there's a 13th Amendment, but do you think people should vote about...
Um...
Um...
About school segregation?
What's the point of having a fundamental constitutional right if we've got to vote about it?
This also goes into the issue of federalism, which I'm not even going to begin to.
I'm not even going to touch that one.
Listen to what I'm saying.
The issue is not we should vote on it.
What do we have a constitution for?
Well, in this case, you know, I think some people are going to the courts and they're saying that we have a problem in the state of whatever it is, Twitter or Facebook or YouTube or whatever it is, violated somebody's right to speak.
Okay, why don't we just vote on it?
Why don't we just vote?
All in favor, in Alabama, do you think that Twitter should...
Violate hateful speech.
Raise your hand.
Okay, well, you can't do that in Alabama.
But in New York, you can.
But Twitter is in...
Want to vote?
Want to vote about that?
Does that make any sense?
No.
And then somebody was talking about, well, what about...
Is there going to be the chance of...
In fact, in fact...
In fact, the woman who was part of Casey, was it 92?
I forget the name of the year.
But the woman who was part of Casey said that she believes next are going to go after same-sex marriage and other things too.
Wait a minute.
What's the difference between same-sex marriage and this?
Why is that different?
Why is that different?
This is the question.
And you're not going to hear anybody talk about this.
Why is that difference?
Why same-sex marriage and...
What did they say?
There were these wonderful little references.
It was a very good point.
Very, very interesting.
It was...
Because a lot of the...
There's some great lawyerly pieces about this which are wonderful.
Same-sex marriage.
I want to read this one particular quote to you very quickly.
I'm going to find it.
Because this is the most important...
And I'm going to say this, and please, if you have to go someplace, I understand.
This is...
I'm not going to do a lot of pictures and graphs.
I don't do that.
A lot of these, I just have never been interested in that.
I've never seen how people decide all of a sudden, you're talking to them, and then they say, well, here's Elizabeth Warren screaming.
I...
I know you know about that, and I understand that, but I'm not interested in showing her screaming.
Here we go.
The lawyer who argued Casey...
This is from Law.com.
Her name is Colbert.
The lawyer who argued Casey before SCOTUS expects challenges to other rights, including contraception, which is...
Let me finish.
Contraception, interracial marriage, and gay marriage.
And that will come next.
Do you understand that?
Gay marriage.
Gay marriage.
I can't remember the name of that.
Oberfeld or whatever it is.
Gay marriage.
Interracial marriage.
Loving against Texas, 1967.
Do you think right now that we're going to talk about this?
Loving?
Do you think loving is going to be this?
You got that?
You got this?
Do you understand this?
Do you follow this?
Do you...
Follow this?
Do you understand what we're talking about here?
Think about it very, very carefully.
Think about it very carefully.
We're talking about why could they, would they reverse the anti-miscegenation statute in that?
Would they really?
Would you really think that?
Would you really honestly think that?
Do you think that they're going to reverse, let's say, Brown against Board of Education, overruling Plessy, that's going to be law again?
You think that's going to be?
Contraception.
Griswold?
Now, Griswold is important because that's where privacy came from.
Do you think that contraception, what they're saying, do you think, who thinks here that contraception is going to be illegal again?
Are there any statutes right now where people would want to, are there any states that would want to ban contraception?
And here's the question.
I want to ask you a very simple question.
This is important.
Listen to me very carefully.
Very, very carefully.
If right now there was a law, in your opinion, that wanted to ban contraception, condoms, birth control, whatever it is, birth control pills, do you believe, do you believe right now that there is a constitutional right?
Forget Griswold.
Forget that.
Forget privacy.
But reading the Constitution, do you believe there is a law?
They would prohibit a state from prohibiting contraception.
Let me ask you again.
Do you think under the Constitution, pre-Griswold, pre-privacy, do you think there is anything in the Constitution that guarantees as a fundamental right contraception?
If you believe that, yes, push one.
If you say no, press two.
Very simple.
Let's start off.
Is there anything in the Constitution, anywhere, Where you can say, well, it's obviously here.
There is a prohibition.
There is a fundamental, a substantive due process right, which makes no sense, that guarantees.
Do you understand that?
Do you understand how this works?
Well, let me save you the time.
The answer is no.
There's absolutely nothing, nothing in the Constitution, nothing that would prevent a state, From banning contraception.
That may shock you.
That may shock you.
Is there anything in the Constitution that prevents a state from banning alcohol?
Counties?
Cities?
Is there anything in the Constitution that prevents them from closing down on Sundays?
Is there anything in the Constitution that would prevent you from having tattoos or nose rings?
If the state of Virginia says tattooing is against the law under the police power of Virginia, we don't want tattooing.
Is there anything in the Constitution that says it?
Anything?
Just that rule.
Just that rule.
This is very important.
The answer is no.
Absolutely not.
So how does it work?
When would it be a problem?
Ah!
It becomes a problem if they said, for example, well, only only people I'm trying to think of an equal protection argument.
Only, let's say, they would never do this, but if people who made X amount of dollars a year, or black people could do it, or if there was a dissimilarity of treatment.
Then, remember the anti-miscegenation laws in Loving Against Virginia, 1967?
White, I think it was a black woman, white man.
Yeah, yeah.
Remember that one?
One of the problems they said was this was due process, they gave a reason for it, but it was a dissimilarity of treatment.
They said, well, you can marry other people, if I recall correctly, Asian, you know, that Caucasoid, Negroid, Mongoloid, Malay.
There were certain prohibitions only against interracial with black.
So aside from the fact that it was stupid, they said, that's the reason.
Brown against Board of Education.
What was the reason?
Because of the Equal Protection Clause.
There was something in there.
They didn't have to make up anything.
They didn't create this thing called...
Dermatological or dermic freedom to explain how to protect the skin as a, you know, the sanctity of artwork on skin.
They didn't create this doctrine called artistic freedom.
No!
I mean, it's never happened, but in these other cases, in the case of contraception, we'll get to in a moment, but these others, there was something already there.
Brown against Board of Education wasn't about, well, you know, goodness.
No!
It's very, very separate but equal.
It's equal protection.
There is some due process.
And later on they came up with some variations of this.
The point is there was something already there.
There was something there.
There was a basis for that.
In the case of contraception, absolutely, there's nothing, there's no right to contraception.
And the way the statute was written, if you'd have treated people differently, or if there was something that involved true due process, because due process is procedural.
It's not substantive.
The only thing in this country that we care about...
Life, liberty, and property.
The only thing that we care about is how we take it away from you.
Not that we take it away, but how we take it away.
We can kill you and kill you dead.
We can throw you in prison for the rest of your life.
We can take everything you own.
So long as the procedure is fair.
Well, you have a hearing.
You're given notice.
You're told, well, what are we going to do?
We're going to kill you.
Have anything to say about that?
I sure do.
Got any witnesses?
Want to put on a trial?
Let's have a trial.
Let's have a trial.
Anybody want to have a trial?
Put on your witnesses.
Okay.
Everybody done?
Let's rule.
That's due process.
In this country, we kill people all the time.
Emotion, war, capital punishment, but...
And in Roe, the problem with it is that they took up this crazy thing called privacy.
And William O. Douglas, when he looked at this, he said, you know, sometimes, and this is Griswold, this is 1965, this is the case that started it all.
They said, wow!
No contraception.
And by the way, They're saying, you know what this is?
This is a Catholic thing, right?
This is, this is, because this is, you know, Catholics and contraception.
We don't want a contraception.
We don't want to go.
All right.
So they say sometimes there are penumbras, zones, areas.
You know what a penumbra is when you see the, like an eclipse, you know, the penumbra.
There are zones.
There are these things that are created by virtue of the Constitution, the First Amendment, the Third Amendment.
Quartering soldiers against your house, against your will.
I don't know why that was it, but there were these penumbras and they emanate that are so profound, so inherent in human life that even though there's nothing specifically in the Constitution, we create this zone, this area called privacy.
And it just made it up.
And they went berserk.
Legal scholars, conservatives, liberals too, said, you can't make this up.
What if somebody said, Donald Trump is going to be forever foreclosed from running for office again?
Why?
Because there are sometimes some people who are so Antithetical to common sense.
That's what they do.
They go like this.
And that there is a right of the country to summarily reject and expurgate from the voter rolls fascists or whatever it is.
And we just make this...
What does that mean?
Because people think it's in the Constitution.
Scalia used to always talk about this, he'd give this commercial.
There was something for, I think he said it was Prego, Prego tomato sauce or something.
And the husband says to his wife, wait a minute, is this store-bought sauce?
He goes, yeah, it's Prego.
Well, is there oregano in there?
It's in there.
Is there rosemary?
It's in there.
Is there basil?
It's in there.
Is there garlic?
It's in there.
Don't worry.
It's prego.
It's in there.
That's what people think in the Constitution.
They just think, it's in there.
I get it.
Do you know what Casey did?
You know what Casey took basically Roe and then kind of twisted it?
You know what their version was?
They said that you cannot have an undue burden.
Any kind of intrusion or any kind of interference with...
Or any kind of new statutes, any kind of new lawless, must not create an undue burden.
What does this mean?
What does it mean, undue burden?
How does a judge, how does a court, determine, huh, hmm, that's the standard?
There are things that we have in this country that are not, for whatever reason, covered by the Constitution.
You think, somehow, The Constitution is God.
Many people sometimes say, well, you know, God would not like this.
How do you know?
Well, it's the way I view God.
God is a merciful God.
God would not be in favor.
Really?
Well, yes.
God would not.
Okay, fine.
And we think it's just in there.
There should be this thing where we say, there ought to be a law against that.
There ought to be a law against that.
Well, sometimes there's no law against that.
But there should be a law against that.
There should be a law.
One of the things which is so funny, years ago, believe it or not, you know what?
There was a statute that talked about speeding.
You can't go faster than 55. You can't do this.
There was one statute that says driving too slow.
We don't know what too slow is.
If you get on the highway, I think there's a minimum speed or whatever.
Maybe, maybe not.
Sometimes it won't.
We didn't know.
If you crawl along and you read, where is the statute?
It doesn't say anything about...
Well, we never thought about that.
We never thought about that.
I'm not being a conservative here.
I'm not a conservative.
I'm not a liberal.
There's nothing in here.
I don't know what this means.
That's what Roe is about.
That's what Alito is talking about.
That's the issue.
That's it.
It doesn't cover things.
Cover everything.
And if you want to have abortion, I don't care whether you are for abortion, if you're against abortion, if you think life begins at...
I don't care.
It doesn't matter to me.
That's not the issue.
That's not the issue.
That's a issue at the state level.
But is there a constitutional right?
No!
Now, pass it.
Amend the Constitution.
Go ahead.
You've done it before.
We're drinking.
Go ahead.
Do it.
Pass a federal statute.
Go ahead.
Got no problem with that?
Knock yourself out.
That's the issue.
But they don't want that.
And the reason why they don't want it is because of the fact that this is a part of this neo-fascist radical left move to change everything.
To change everything.
They are going after they want war.
That was going nowhere.
Did you see when the Pope basically agreed with me and everybody else, well, not agreed with, but shared our idea, that NATO provoked Putin.
Provoked him.
This is some lefty, you know, Argentinian guy that people always thought was in the pocket of the shadow government.
Well, guess what?
He said the same thing.
Can they cancel the Pope now?
Maybe he'll lose his Facebook account.
I don't know.
So they don't have Russia.
I mean, they just do not know the first thing and nobody cared at all.
And that was so stupid.
And do you know why?
Here's the reason why the radical left fascist Shadow government continues.
Don't think it's Bernie Sanders or Nancy Pelosi.
There is no Democratic Party.
You've got two vessels here.
You've got the Democrats and you've got the Republicans.
And the shadow government is like poisoned.
Which one am I going to fill up?
I want one of these.
It's a liquid.
I have to contain it.
And I have to either put it in the Democratic Party or put it in the Republican Party.
I'm going to put it in the Democratic Party for reasons...
It could just as easily be the Republican.
Victoria Nuland, who was the, let's face it, the war ghoul, happens to be over here.
It doesn't matter.
This is where we are right now.
So the Democrats realize we're going nowhere with this thing.
They had this plan.
Now there is a belief.
Now by the way, shall I go on?
Am I getting too ahead of the game here?
It's okay.
Listen to me.
You might say to me, look, we appreciate this, but we just want to go look at some pictures.
Can we see some more pictures?
Can you just maybe...
I don't know what you're talking about.
And it's okay if you think that way.
Believe me.
Believe me when you say it.
It's okay for you to say that.
You can say, I don't know this due process.
And if you want to go, I understand.
Please.
Because I'm not done yet.
Listen to this one.
There is a very interesting case being made for one of the clerks.
Let's just go into not skullduggery, but sleuthing.
Because the truth will out.
Maybe.
There is some suspicion in the case made that there is one particular clerk in particular who might be the best suspect of who would release this.
I leave it at that.
I don't know if there's any proof of that.
It wasn't an accusation.
I'm not going to mention the clerk's name.
But what would happen normally in any other walk of life if you did that?
If you did this?
If you were to ever be responsible?
You know they leaked out the information regarding Breyer before.
That's why he's out.
They basically told him, do yourself a favor.
Say Frankie Five Angels.
Frankie Pentangeli.
Draw a warm bath.
Open up your veins.
Give it up.
Fall on your sword.
You've had a good life, Briar.
Get out of here.
Okay, sure.
He read that writing.
We'll take care of you.
We'll take care of you.
Take care of you, your family.
Don't worry.
What are you, 80?
Enough.
Get out.
Alright.
Trust me.
That was leaked.
Wow.
Okay.
Now we have something which is never leaked.
The sanctity.
I don't care when you clerk, if you clerk for a circuit court of appeals, even a district judge, it doesn't matter.
You never, ever, ever, ever.
You're in a process right now where you're sitting there and you represent the court.
You have been asked to, let's say you want to clerk for Sotomayor, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, William O. Douglas when he came up with this, Griswold.
Monstrosity.
And you do this.
And you say, wow, look at this.
Hmm.
It would have never been considered.
Now, the person is going to be heralded as a hero or heroine, if you believe in kind of a gender classification.
They will be the Rosa Parks, the George Washington, the Abraham Lincoln, the whoever.
They're going to be elevated to such a...
Anybody else would be ruined.
You would be...
You would never...
You could never get...
You're the leaker.
That's it.
There would be...
You could never get a job.
Nobody would touch you except now.
But here's the other angle.
Here's the other angle.
And this is the one I love even more.
Because I love to come up with different variations of things.
Not, not because, not, not because they're theoretically possible, but because they're so uniquely curious.
What happens if some right-wing, and I hate to use these stupid terms, but I'm going to do it just for the sake of it.
What happens if it's somebody from the conservative bench, the conservative side, rather, who says, here's what we're going to do.
Number one.
I mean, listen to how great this is.
Are you following me on this?
I'm going to leak this to Politico.
Now, Politico probably would be able to say, we know where this comes from.
And let me stop right there.
Isn't this, why aren't they being prosecuted like Assange?
Well, Assange, it was espionage.
Well, you mean to tell me there's no, well, this is different.
See, the left who wanted Assange burned at the stake.
Now love this person.
But anyway, but I digress.
I digress.
Let me continue.
Let's say somebody says, I'm going to let this out.
Why?
Why?
So that Gorsuch and Kavanaugh and Alito and Comey and everybody, that everybody, that they are locked in.
That they're locked in.
That they're unable to change their mind.
That they would lose favor.
You got it?
That, you know, Amy Coney Barrett or whatever, that they might be, well, you know, whatever.
Maybe, maybe this draft was just kind of like, let's see what it looks like, what do you think?
They may look like, no, it's okay.
I changed my mind.
I'm not really sure because they are so, they've changed their mind at the last minute.
So this way, it locks them in.
Now, I love that.
Is it possible?
Sure!
Probable?
I don't know.
You tell me.
I'm not really sure.
Now, the next thing.
The next thing.
I want you to do yourself a favor.
And I want you to try to do something, because I think a lot of folks here are politically pro-life, meaning anti-abortion.
I hate this, pro-life.
Many people here are anti-abortion, which is fine.
It's your opinion.
I am not.
Now, that's a weird phrase.
I am not anti-abortion, and I'm also pro-life.
I hate the idea of...
I hate the idea of abortion, and I hate the idea of women bragging about it.
I got it, and I'm proud.
You're proud of an abortion?
You're proud?
I got a vasectomy, and I'm proud of it.
Okay, okay.
All right, great.
I guess.
You're proud of that?
Normally, this is somebody, normally, any woman, anybody that I've ever, ever, ever even remotely encountered who had an abortion, Didn't speak about it in terms of that was a great...
Yes, I went back to college and I got my degree.
Yes, I did win the Purple Heart.
No, I've never heard that before.
Never heard that before.
But they make it sound like it's some moment of glory, which is okay.
But my question to you is simply this.
How do you think...
I've got a number of questions.
The majority of the country thinks.
Do you think the majority of the country wants abortion?
Let me phrase this.
Wants Roe reversed?
Comma.
Do you think the majority of people even understand what that means?
Do you think the majority of people want it to be left to the states?
Comma.
Do you think the majority of the people in the country even know what that means?
Or will they view?
A reversal of Roe and Casey and all these other cases.
Do you think they would interpret this as being somehow reversal or prohibiting abortion in total?
That's the issue.
Because I think Americans are so bloody stupid, they'll think that somehow abortion is illegal.
That that's the way it's going to be phrased.
And if that's the case, the majority of people in this country are pro-choice.
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
You can talk about it all you want.
Most people may...
If you can't read this one, you're not paying attention.
This is politics now.
This is not evangelical politics.
This is not God.
It's not Reagan.
No, no, no.
Just like the majority of people in this country love the death penalty.
Don't fool yourself.
22 states have outlawed it, but most people, I know this.
It doesn't mean they're bad people, it's just the way they are.
This is politically the kiss of death.
If somehow somebody says, huh, right wing, no abortions.
What if that was my daughter?
Wow.
Geez.
I don't know.
I would not want to be on that side.
And the Democrats are beautiful.
And they're going to forever say the Republicans want to make abortion illegal.
Samuel Alito wants to make abortion illegal because they're right-wing, because they're Christian evangelicals, because of whatever it is.
I'm going to say one more thing because I know I'm losing you, and I understand this is tough.
This is tough.
This is kind of dry, but it's important.
There is something called stare decisis.
You go, oh my God, what the hell is this guy talking about?
Stare who?
Stare decisis.
Meaning, let the decision stand.
A lot of people say, we can't, there's got to be some finality.
When you come up with a, we're not going to change the rule now.
Really?
Yeah.
Well, what about Plessy?
They didn't mind that.
Plessy against Ferguson was basically the law of the land before Brown against Board of Education came along.
And it's that simple.
And people say, well, I don't care if that story is wrong.
Okay, fine.
The law of the land decisive prior to loving was the fact that miscegenation laws were legal.
See, they don't like to change the law if they don't like the law.
I mean, they don't mind it.
And a lot of people are going to say, look, we just...
Yeah, you're right.
Look, Sammy Alito, this is stupid.
You're right about this.
It's an abomination, but you can't change.
It's not worth it.
Now, to the intellectual constitutional purists, you're going to say, I can't keep a bad law around just because it's going to cause a problem.
Every time there's been a major law, every time something has happened, you know what they told Truman when he wanted to integrate the military?
He said, you can't do this.
You can't put blacks and whites together in the military.
You can't do this.
This wasn't a Supreme Court case, but it was political.
But he said, well, you're going to have to get along with it.
You can't put people together.
You can't bust people.
What are you doing?
Every time there's a law, somebody will respond.
That's where we are.
And if I could bring back, well, it depends, the non-federalists, but if I could bring a number of our constitutional forebears back, they would say, the Constitution doesn't cover a lot of stuff.
The Constitution doesn't even tell you how many justices there are.
The Constitution doesn't mention the Air Force.
The Constitution doesn't mention marriage.
It doesn't mention voting.
It doesn't mention anything.
Nothing!
It's so screwed up, we don't even know.
It's vague.
I don't know.
It is the vague...
This is nothing new.
But the shadow government, the rulers of the land, are so brilliant.
They know exactly.
What they're doing right now is they are doing something which is so critical.
They are teaching you that when you don't like something, you react violently.
And let me say something.
I personally...
Dave Chappelle, they have...
I'm so tired of Dave Chappelle, but I will nonetheless say this.
His case is so critical because people are saying, even somebody that we kind of sort of like, when you don't like what somebody is saying, you can shout them down, you can shut them up, and you can keep them off of the stage.
You can do this.
If somebody comes to a school, you can shout them down.
If you don't like, you will then pick up the phone, call this number, call your Antifa coordinators, and we will have at the ready, anywhere you want.
What do you want?
Do you want the uniformed guys with the turtlenecks and the helmets and the frozen water bottles?
Do you want them?
Do you want the extremely overweight people with the tats and the nose rings and the pink hair?
We can have those people there.
Do you want violent?
Moderately violent?
Do you want hot sauce?
Moderately hot?
Mild?
What kind of resistance?
Do you want just signs?
Do you want cars stopped?
Do you want to go full George Floyd on this?
Do you want to go broken windows and fires?
Do you want to do that?
Do you want to do a Rittenhouse?
You tell me.
It's like I'm a caterer.
You tell me the wedding you want.
What would you like?
How many people are you expecting?
I'll take care of it.
There are organizations that went back from Atpour, from the major strikes years ago, to the Operation Wall Street.
Name it.
Professionals.
Look at Maidan, 2014.
Look what they do.
I'm telling you, they are event planners.
What would you like?
They'll do that.
That is precisely what's happening right now.
And this country is lost.
Because we are right now, this is a form of neo-fascism.
It's a kind of a leftist liberal, but it doesn't really matter whether people say, well, you know, Hitler was a socialist, excuse me, he was a fascist.
The Russians were finding them, the people, well, you know, Hitler was, forget Hitler.
The Russians, these were fascists.
This is where we are right now.
Are you following this?
And how do you fix this?
I have no idea.
Can you fix this?
Yes.
But we need something.
You ready for this?
We can fix it.
We need a new country.
We need new Americans.
We need a new media.
We need a new set of circumstances.
We need a new form of educated folks.
We need a new appreciation for what things are.
We need somebody to go back.
We need a Gen A. We're at the Gen A. You know what the Gen A's?
These are the Gen Z's.
These are the Gen A's.
We need to go back and do for American politics what the blues does.
We revere old, you know, Robert Johnson.
What old brother, where art thou?
Howitt.
Reacquainted Americans with traditional country music.
We need traditional Americans.
There is a wonderful piece on...
It's so great.
It is so terrific.
But it's a piece on...
It's about how Ron DeSantis is crazy to run for president because the executive is a waste of time today.
And it goes into the arguments about the unitary executive versus the American system and federalism and that kind of stuff.
But what I just said is lost.
For the most part, you're going to see people merely going online and they're going to be saying, just very, very simply, you're going to be hearing people say things like, you know, it's a human life.
My mother was raped, and I'm the subject of rape, and therefore, you know, and I'm not trying to minimize that in the least.
Believe me, I'm not trying to do this.
Believe me when I tell you this.
I'm not doing this.
I'm not trying to say, like, oh, I don't want to hear you when you're raped.
No, I understand.
It's a very, very valid issue.
But it has nothing to do with Roe.
Nothing, nothing.
It has nothing to do with him.
Nothing in the least.
Let me tell you right now that I want you to follow Mrs. L's Twitter right now.
I can't tell you enough how the problem we have in this country, in addition to everything that I've mentioned, is the fact that we just can't handle multiple issues simultaneously.
We can't.
It's either one or the other.
We can't.
Ukraine is...
They threw every lie at you about Ukraine.
You cannot imagine.
From propping up the Zelensky Borat to everything from Putin's crazy, he's got cancer, he doesn't know what he's doing, there's no military.
They threw the ghost fighters.
They went overtime on this one.
They said, listen, just uncork this.
Whatever you want to throw in America, they're not going to find anything wrong with what you say.
Because they're just not that smart.
So that's over.
That's done.
We don't even know.
And that's even more frightening.
That's more frightening.
But what's happening to kids right now?
Can't even tell you.
Yesterday, we had Mrs. L. put on a, was part of a symposium here in New York.
We spoke.
I didn't speak.
She spoke before.
I'm not going to go too much into it.
I want to.
I'll sleep with that.
But to hear survivors speak, it's...
I don't even know.
I don't even know how I share DNA with the people who did these things to these people.
And there is right now a movement.
To completely destroy your children's innocence, their schools, where they go to school, how they learn, what their influences are.
You are being hit by so many levels.
So many levels.
I can't explain it.
It's one thing that I just can't.
So anyway, that's it.
I appreciate the fact that you stood around and stayed so long.
The issues here, before we do anything, you have to understand them.
And sometimes, they're a little dry.
A little dry.
But I will tell you something.
This is important.
That you, once you grasp this, and we're going to do it again and again, but once you understand it, because it may be a little alien at first.
It will be so clear to you.
You will say, oh, I see.
Because it's about issue analysis.
The right to life has nothing to do with Roe.
Whether life begins at conception has nothing to do with Roe.
That's not what we're talking about.
None.
Period.
Alright, my friends.
I want to thank you.
Thank you for your focus.
Now listen to me.
These are really scary times.
I mean, I swear to you.
But as an American who believes in the Constitution, if you want to pass a, have a constitutional amendment, they've got to, they want to overturn the filibuster rule, which means that, by the way, DC and Puerto Rico will be, well, Puerto Rico might be, but DC for sure will be a state, and that's a permanent, that's a permanent Permanent democratic enclave.
Okay?
You understand this?
But, let me say this.
It's very difficult.
Very complicated.
Very complicated.
But when you understand it, you will see how desperate this is.
And you also realize, what a waste of time.
90% of the stuff I'm even watching and listening to is.
It's not even remotely addressing any None.
I've got a friend of mine who has the Ukrainian flag on her front lawn.
Has no idea where Ukraine is.
No idea about it.
Devout Catholic.
The first thing I did was, oh, did you see what the Pope said?
What?
No clue.
America loves gadgets and things that are popular at the last moment.
We don't really know.
We sort of, you know, Approximate the issues, and that's exactly where the shadow government wants you.
Thank you, my friend.
Give yourself a great round of applause.
We'll see you tomorrow at 9 a.m.
Same bat time, same channel.
Bat channel?
I'm so tired.
It's an hour of my life, but it's very, very important.
