- 0:28Speaker 2: Over the many, many, many many years that I've been
- 0:32Speaker 2: doing a show here, I have tried to stress to
- 0:36Speaker 2: my audience the incredible power and importance of the courts.
- 0:42Speaker 2: And as I've said over these many years, despite all
- 0:45Speaker 2: of my preaching, I think still think about half the
- 0:48Speaker 2: audience doesn't get it. The other half does, but about
- 0:52Speaker 2: half the audience doesn't get it. The most important power
- 0:58Speaker 2: of the president, I believe, is appointing Supreme Court justices.
- 1:02Speaker 2: In the state of Wisconsin, the Supreme Court is at
- 1:06Speaker 2: least as powerful as the governor, perhaps more, and both
- 1:10Speaker 2: of them are powerful than the legislature. And then just
- 1:13Speaker 2: go down to the fabric of our communities in terms
- 1:16Speaker 2: of how all sorts of cases are handled and proving this.
- 1:20Speaker 2: Almost all, not all, but almost all the content of
- 1:23Speaker 2: today's podcast, in one way or another, addresses something from
- 1:27Speaker 2: the courts. We're going to start with the United States
- 1:30Speaker 2: Supreme Court. You know when they end a term, and
- 1:33Speaker 2: the term ended with the end of the month. It
- 1:37Speaker 2: just almost always seems like the biggest rulings come out
- 1:40Speaker 2: on the last day and they slam them of bam bam, bam,
- 1:43Speaker 2: bam bam. You know, there was the run ruling, the
- 1:47Speaker 2: Dobs ruling that was leaked probably by the liberals, but
- 1:52Speaker 2: other than that, none of the stuff leaked out. And
- 1:55Speaker 2: the big ones, the ones that were most controversial, came
- 1:57Speaker 2: at the end, and certainly one of the most controversial
- 2:01Speaker 2: is birthright citizenship. This went the way of the left.
- 2:08Speaker 2: As you know, the Supreme Court is a six' to
- 2:09Speaker 2: three conservative, majority but two of those six wander over
- 2:15Speaker 2: to the left quite a. BIT i think it's accurate
- 2:18Speaker 2: to say that they stay on the right more than
- 2:20Speaker 2: half the, time but they do wander over quite a.
- 2:24Speaker 2: Bit John roberts The Chief, justice And Amy Cony barrett the.
- 2:31Speaker 2: Other and they went over to the other side of.
- 2:34Speaker 2: This the question here is were they right to do? So,
- 2:40Speaker 2: now one of the things that conservatives have argued forever
- 2:44Speaker 2: is that courts should interpret The constitution as it is,
- 2:49Speaker 2: written not as they want it to. Be the job
- 2:53Speaker 2: of the courts isn't to do the right. Thing the
- 2:57Speaker 2: job of the courts is to determine what the law
- 2:59Speaker 2: said and apply it. Accordingly it's the job of legislatures
- 3:03Speaker 2: or in this, case The congress and The, president to
- 3:08Speaker 2: make the. Laws the courts are to interpret the laws
- 3:11Speaker 2: on the basis of what they. Say, now that's what
- 3:12Speaker 2: we've been saying all. Along so on this birthright citizenship,
- 3:16Speaker 2: Thing i'm. Struggling in terms of, policy the court got it,
- 3:26Speaker 2: wrong but in terms of the, law maybe they got it.
- 3:32Speaker 2: Right we'll wade into this in just a. Moment. Here
- 3:37Speaker 2: have you ever been offered an add on option for

- 4:10Speaker 2: going to read the Fourteenth amendment to The constitution of
- 4:14Speaker 2: The United, states which is the constitutional language upon which
- 4:20Speaker 2: this whole battle over birthright citizenship. Falls section one is
- 4:25Speaker 2: the one that's applicable all persons born or naturalized in
- 4:30Speaker 2: The United states and subject to the jurisdiction thereof are
- 4:35Speaker 2: citizens of The United, states and of the state wherein they.
- 4:38Speaker 2: Reside No states shall make or enforce any law which
- 4:43Speaker 2: shall abridge the privileges of immunities of citizens of The United.
- 4:47Speaker 2: States nor shall Any state deprive any person of, life,
- 4:51Speaker 2: liberty or property without due process of, law nor deny
- 4:55Speaker 2: any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the
- 4:59Speaker 2: laws that first, Line all persons born or naturalized in
- 5:08Speaker 2: The United states and subject of the jurisdiction thereof are
- 5:10Speaker 2: citizens of The United. States and the argument has, been
- 5:15Speaker 2: and in, fact public policy has Been, therefore if you're
- 5:19Speaker 2: born in The United, states you're a. Citizen President prump
- 5:24Speaker 2: issued an executive order, saying, no that's not. True so
- 5:32Speaker 2: the case was, challenged and it went to The Supreme,
- 5:34Speaker 2: court and The Supreme court ruled that that language THAT
- 5:38Speaker 2: i just read means if you're born in The United,
- 5:42Speaker 2: states you're a citizen of The United. States, NOW i
- 5:48Speaker 2: believe the best way to interpret the meaning of language
- 5:56Speaker 2: is to try to determine what the intention was of
- 5:59Speaker 2: the people who wrote the. Language you, know as we're
- 6:03Speaker 2: approaching the two hundred fiftieth anniversary of the birthday and
- 6:05Speaker 2: anniversary of The United. STATES i pointed out again and
- 6:09Speaker 2: again the incredible brilliance of the founders of this, country
- 6:13Speaker 2: who not in seventeen seventy, six but in seventeen eighty
- 6:15Speaker 2: nine through ninety one drafted our. Constitution and we're so forward,
- 6:22Speaker 2: THINKING i think divinely inspired that they were able to
- 6:27Speaker 2: write a document that applied to so many things that
- 6:31Speaker 2: didn't exist when they were. Alive and the majority of
- 6:38Speaker 2: the language that they drafted stands today and is. Applicable their,
- 6:45Speaker 2: Language i'm freedom of, speech the right to own and possess,
- 6:48Speaker 2: firearms go up and down the. Line somehow they managed
- 6:54Speaker 2: to envision a world far different than the one that
- 6:57Speaker 2: they were. In BUT i love the word but but
- 7:07Speaker 2: this language was not drafted by the. Founders this is
- 7:11Speaker 2: the Fourteenth. Amendment the first ten were The bill Of.
- 7:14Speaker 2: Rights anything after ten came. Later The Fourteenth amendment was
- 7:19Speaker 2: drafted in The Civil war. Era it was drafted for
- 7:25Speaker 2: the purpose of making it clear that people who were
- 7:31Speaker 2: born anywhere in The United, states including the slave of,
- 7:36Speaker 2: souths were citizens and had the full right of. Citizenship
- 7:40Speaker 2: this amendment was to essentially declare that The southern belief
- 7:44Speaker 2: that slaves were not citizens and were not persons was,
- 7:48Speaker 2: rawing and they enshrinded in The. Constitution that's why they
- 7:51Speaker 2: used the language all persons, born slaves born in The United,
- 7:56Speaker 2: states that slaves a Citizen African american person or black
- 8:00Speaker 2: person or colored, person or whatever term they would have
- 8:02Speaker 2: applied in the. Time sporn here is a citizen. Here
- 8:05Speaker 2: that was what the purpose. Was unlike the, FOUNDERS i
- 8:10Speaker 2: don't know that they thought through the implications of all
- 8:14Speaker 2: of this when this language was. Drafted the only way
- 8:23Speaker 2: to get into The United states from the other hemisphere
- 8:32Speaker 2: was by. Boat obviously you could travel by horse From
- 8:37Speaker 2: South america and From North america and so. On but
- 8:39Speaker 2: the only way to get to The United states otherwise
- 8:42Speaker 2: was to come in by a horse from our country
- 8:47Speaker 2: and by boat From. Europe and all of the migrants
- 8:51Speaker 2: that came to The United states came by, boat and
- 8:54Speaker 2: it was rather easy to process all of. Them and
- 8:59Speaker 2: those boat rides took a long. Time there weren't any
- 9:02Speaker 2: motors on those. Boats it's not like a. Cruise shit
- 9:04Speaker 2: the puddles along at twenty three miles an. Hour these
- 9:07Speaker 2: boats took a long time to get over, here so
- 9:14Speaker 2: the notion that somebody would be born in The United
- 9:17Speaker 2: states of an illegal immigrant probably never dawned on them
- 9:21Speaker 2: in the writing of. This, nonetheless it is what they.
- 9:24Speaker 2: Wrote my presumption is is that they were so determined
- 9:33Speaker 2: to enshrine that black, People negro, people to use the
- 9:38Speaker 2: term of the, time were, citizens that you're born, here
- 9:44Speaker 2: you're a citizen. Here and this has a resulted in
- 9:48Speaker 2: this dilemma that we've had for the one hundred and
- 9:50Speaker 2: sixty years, since where we have individuals who come to
- 9:55Speaker 2: The United states, illegally make a baby and that baby's
- 10:00Speaker 2: now a, citizen or somebody who is a citizen Of
- 10:05Speaker 2: france Or uganda Or japan Or china who is pregnant
- 10:14Speaker 2: and has a baby while, here that baby is a
- 10:17Speaker 2: citizen of The United. States trump challenges by drafting an
- 10:26Speaker 2: executive order saying, no that that's not the. Case The
- 10:30Speaker 2: Supreme court ruled that the Fourteenth amendment does indeed mean
- 10:34Speaker 2: that birthright citizenship is a real. Thing practically, speaking this
- 10:38Speaker 2: has created the crisis that we have now where we
- 10:43Speaker 2: have millions of illegal, immigrants tens of thousands of whom
- 10:48Speaker 2: after coming here, illegally get pregnant and have a. Child
- 10:51Speaker 2: of the child's now An american. Citizen so when you
- 10:53Speaker 2: try to deport the parents who are, illegal the lefties
- 10:58Speaker 2: are going crazy apporting these. Children the children are. Citizens,
- 11:01Speaker 2: well they are, citizens and The Supreme court just said they're.
- 11:05Speaker 2: Citizens but as our government keeps pointing, out we're not
- 11:10Speaker 2: deporting the. Children if the parents want to leave the
- 11:13Speaker 2: children here with somebody, else they, Can but since the
- 11:17Speaker 2: children are obviously in the custody of the, parents that
- 11:19Speaker 2: the parents, leave the children will go with, them no
- 11:22Speaker 2: different than if the parents chose willing they leave to
- 11:27Speaker 2: leave The United, states the children will go with. Them
- 11:33Speaker 2: but it also creates implications for the. Future there's already
- 11:37Speaker 2: this dual Citizenship chinese thing going. On it's becoming a real.
- 11:46Speaker 2: Thing Pregnant chinese women come to The United states while
- 11:51Speaker 2: pregnant and have their babies. Here those babies are Now american.
- 11:56Speaker 2: Citizens then they haul them back To. China they may
- 11:59Speaker 2: sit In china the rest of their, lives but they
- 12:01Speaker 2: Are american citizens and have a right to vote because
- 12:07Speaker 2: They're american. Citizens, again none of this was envisioned when
- 12:15Speaker 2: The Fourteenth amendment was Rafted, NONETHELESS i can't deny that
- 12:22Speaker 2: this seems to say if you're born in The United,
- 12:24Speaker 2: states you're a. CITIZEN i Have jason, here he's a
- 12:27Speaker 2: talk show. Host have you comment and none of this
- 12:28Speaker 2: on your, show but it has been your.
- 12:30Speaker 3: TAKE i read exactly what you, Read, mark AND i
- 12:33Speaker 3: tend to agree with what you're saying as far as
- 12:36Speaker 3: the way it's. Written but THEN i also look at
- 12:38Speaker 3: the fact that why Weren't American indian? Citizens how did?
- 12:41Speaker 3: That it's like they have made exceptions. Before and THEN
- 12:44Speaker 3: i look at The Second amendment to it AND i, say,
- 12:46Speaker 3: well we don't want The Second amendment, eliminated but we
- 12:49Speaker 3: can't wwann a machine. Gun they've said they're a fire
- 12:51Speaker 3: in a crowded.
- 12:51Speaker 2: Theater that's. Correct, Okay so that's his take on, this
- 12:55Speaker 2: and this is the problem that comes in. HERE i
- 12:58Speaker 2: have argued forever that with regard to The constitution and court,
- 13:02Speaker 2: rulings we have to look at two. THINGS a what
- 13:05Speaker 2: it says and b what the encant was when they said. It,
- 13:13Speaker 2: also you do have situations where the language seems to
- 13:16Speaker 2: come in conflict with one, another and then you resolve.
- 13:19Speaker 2: It and As jason was pointing out we haven't established
- 13:25Speaker 2: any right as being an absolute. Will the language of
- 13:30Speaker 2: The constitution gives all citizens the right to own a possess.
- 13:32Speaker 2: Firearms we have restricted and the courts have upheld that
- 13:36Speaker 2: certain citizens have forfeited some of their, rights, like for, example.
- 13:39Speaker 2: Felons so we now have all sorts of problems because of. This,
- 13:50Speaker 2: now here's the. Thing if we were a society that was,
- 13:53Speaker 2: sane and we're not because half the country has gone,
- 13:56Speaker 2: loony you would simply resolve of the problems that exists
- 14:01Speaker 2: now by changing the. Constitution in, fact the Fourteenth amendment,
- 14:05Speaker 2: itself WHICH i read, here was a change to The.
- 14:08Speaker 2: Constitution we could simply amend The constitution to clarify, this
- 14:19Speaker 2: BUT i don't see Any in order to change The,
- 14:21Speaker 2: constitution you need to pass this to both houses of The,
- 14:24Speaker 2: congress and then it has to be ratified by thirty eight,
- 14:28Speaker 2: states by three fourths the. States the hell you're going
- 14:31Speaker 2: In california to ratify, this then you'd never get. There
- 14:40Speaker 2: now reactions to this, Ruling i'm going to quote From
- 14:48Speaker 2: Fox news On Justice Clarence thomas's. Descent thomas And alito
- 14:52Speaker 2: are besides themselves. Here they felt that this language was
- 14:57Speaker 2: being interpreted. Wrongly all, along they agreed With, trump and
- 15:00Speaker 2: they wanted to take this as an opportunity to clarify
- 15:05Speaker 2: what this language actually. Means i'll quote from the. Report
- 15:09Speaker 2: thomas accuses The majority of repurposing The Fourteenth amendment to
- 15:14Speaker 2: protect its own set of preferred rights that The Reconstruction
- 15:18Speaker 2: congress never contemplated and that cannot find support in its.
- 15:23Speaker 2: Text in other, words What thomas is saying The Reconstruction
- 15:26Speaker 2: congress is that's The congress of The United states was
- 15:28Speaker 2: running the country after The Civil, war where The south
- 15:31Speaker 2: was back in and so, on and they were drafting
- 15:34Speaker 2: these laws now to conform to the will of The,
- 15:37Speaker 2: union which won The Civil. War And thomas points out
- 15:42Speaker 2: there is nothing in any historical reference in here that
- 15:45Speaker 2: there was ever any intent to have this apply to
- 15:51Speaker 2: children that were dragged into The United states, temporarily or
- 15:54Speaker 2: brother mothers that popped their kid well in The United
- 15:57Speaker 2: states temporarily and somehow make them a. Citizen so That's thomas's,
- 16:01Speaker 2: Argument he, CONTINUES i am not sure that today's opinion
- 16:07Speaker 2: will stand the test of. Time he added that the
- 16:12Speaker 2: citizenship class quote added greatly to the dignity and glory
- 16:16Speaker 2: Of american. Citizenship today's opinion devalues that. Citizenship so he's,
- 16:23Speaker 2: saying citizenship is being devalued if the only requirement to
- 16:29Speaker 2: be An american is to be fortunate enough at the
- 16:34Speaker 2: day that you popped out of your mother for her
- 16:37Speaker 2: to have been standing somewhere in The United states Of,
- 16:39Speaker 2: America Justice Samuel, alito from his, descent in my, judgment
- 16:52Speaker 2: the court has made a mistake that will seriously affect
- 16:55Speaker 2: the country's. Future suppose that a person's only connection to
- 16:59Speaker 2: the country is that he was born here to a
- 17:02Speaker 2: mother who was present just long enough to give birth
- 17:06Speaker 2: and then quickly returned to her native. Country suppose that
- 17:10Speaker 2: country is a strategic adversary or enemy of The United.
- 17:13Speaker 2: States he's clearly Referencing. China suppose the child never visited
- 17:19Speaker 2: The United states well, grown and was inculcated with hatred
- 17:23Speaker 2: of this. Country according to this, court that person is
- 17:27Speaker 2: a citizen of The United. States he can enter and
- 17:30Speaker 2: leave the country as he. Pleases he can travel the
- 17:33Speaker 2: world on A United states, passport even if he plots
- 17:38Speaker 2: to harm this. Country he cannot be deprived of his
- 17:41Speaker 2: status as a citizen at least under current. President further From,
- 17:50Speaker 2: aledo this is one of the most important decisions in
- 17:53Speaker 2: the history of The, court and in my, judgment The
- 17:55Speaker 2: court has made a serious. Mistake its interpretation is not
- 18:01Speaker 2: only contrary to the original meaning of the Fourteenth, amendment
- 18:05Speaker 2: it produces grotesque. Results the point That alito is referring
- 18:12Speaker 2: here is to determine what those words. Mean you have
- 18:15Speaker 2: to determine what the authors of the words. Meant and
- 18:19Speaker 2: he's arguing they did not mean, this that at some
- 18:24Speaker 2: point common sense has to. Apply, now what are the
- 18:31Speaker 2: things that lefties like to do whenever we in The
- 18:34Speaker 2: United states decide to go our own way on something
- 18:36Speaker 2: like refusing to adopt the metric, system or until two weeks,
- 18:40Speaker 2: ago not pay any attention to soccer or socialized. Medicine
- 18:45Speaker 2: but everybody else in the world does. It europe does.
- 18:48Speaker 2: It europe does, It europe does. It here's the thing
- 18:51Speaker 2: nobody else does. THIS i don't. Know it's the heat
- 18:58Speaker 2: wave still going on in free that they've all been
- 19:00Speaker 2: winding a boat over, there whether it is or is
- 19:04Speaker 2: some woman she's. Pregnant she's over there on friends, edvacation
- 19:07Speaker 2: and the heat gets through her gee delivers a little
- 19:09Speaker 2: bit early that, kid he isn't going to Be. FRENCH
- 19:15Speaker 2: i guarantee you of. THAT i don't want anybody Who's
- 19:17Speaker 2: american to be in over. There nobody does it that,
- 19:20Speaker 2: way and we did it that way because there was an,
- 19:24Speaker 2: attempt probably without thoroughly thinking things, through to draft language
- 19:30Speaker 2: to make it clear that slaves were citizens of the.
- 19:33Speaker 2: Wealth slavery was, ended that black people were citizens of
- 19:36Speaker 2: The United states simply by virtue of having been born,
- 19:42Speaker 2: here which by all rights obviously they. Are their parents
- 19:48Speaker 2: were both here when the mother gave birth to the,
- 19:52Speaker 2: child and the child that spent his life, here so
- 19:54Speaker 2: of course that child is a, citizen and any attempt
- 19:56Speaker 2: to deny them citizenship on the basis of, race which
- 19:59Speaker 2: had been attempt in The Confederate states in The, south was.
- 20:03Speaker 2: Wrong the hang UP i have with criticizing the decision
- 20:11Speaker 2: is the, language to me doesn't have any caveats because
- 20:18Speaker 2: the drafters here The Reconstruction, congress didn't think about the
- 20:26Speaker 2: total impact of what they were, saying and they didn't
- 20:28Speaker 2: think about it because the notion then that we would
- 20:30Speaker 2: have tens of thousands of people illegally in The United
- 20:34Speaker 2: states giving birth and those, kids those children of non,
- 20:39Speaker 2: citizens people who weren't here. Illegally they not have imagined
- 20:42Speaker 2: that the country would have ever had, that because at the,
- 20:44Speaker 2: time of, course the country enforced its. Borders we were
- 20:47Speaker 2: a nation that was seeing immigration right and. Left but
- 20:51Speaker 2: it was all. Orderly everybody came in. Properly the eighteen
- 20:56Speaker 2: hundreds was the time of great migration from all of
- 20:59Speaker 2: your up to The United, states and they all came
- 21:03Speaker 2: in and it was all headed. Accordingly the founders in
- 21:07Speaker 2: that and could not have imagined fast forward you would
- 21:09Speaker 2: have gone through, presidencies particularly the last one that he
- 21:16Speaker 2: decided to let twenty million people in illegally and let
- 21:19Speaker 2: people pop babies right and. Left This chinese pregnancy tourism.
- 21:30Speaker 2: Thing this is a real. Threat it's something that's going.
- 21:36Speaker 2: On being a citizen means you have a right to.
- 21:43Speaker 2: Vote if you're a proper age we are going to be.
- 21:48Speaker 2: Having never, mind there's two groups of people. Here there's
- 21:51Speaker 2: the people that are born in The United, states born of,
- 21:53Speaker 2: illegals who are going to live there for in The
- 21:55Speaker 2: United states for the rest of their, lives in their
- 21:57Speaker 2: now green lit in because, citizens at least they live.
- 22:02Speaker 2: Here what about the people who never live here other
- 22:05Speaker 2: than maybe the first two weeks of their life after,
- 22:07Speaker 2: birth they're going to be able to decide the future
- 22:11Speaker 2: of our country because we arbitrarily decided that a tourist
- 22:14Speaker 2: here in The United states and gives, birth that gives
- 22:17Speaker 2: birth to a, Citizen so they end up holding dual
- 22:19Speaker 2: Citizenship chinese And. American, obviously this has happened in the
- 22:23Speaker 2: past from time to time where someone who's here in
- 22:27Speaker 2: The United. States in, fact there's been discussion of the
- 22:30Speaker 2: Rotten canadian healthcare. System Some canadian women have come to
- 22:34Speaker 2: The United states to give birth In american hospitals and so.
- 22:36Speaker 2: On they're. Citizens it's a. Mess and AS i, Say
- 22:45Speaker 2: trump is downplaying, this, saying, well we'll just pass. Legislation,
- 22:49Speaker 2: now let's imagine they try to address this via legislation
- 22:52Speaker 2: while The republicans they'll control The house and The, senate
- 22:55Speaker 2: but not past the constitutional. Amendment remember what the court
- 22:59Speaker 2: struck down here Was trump's executive. Order an executive order
- 23:03Speaker 2: is something that a president signs that has the force of.
- 23:06Speaker 2: Law if there is no law on the books that
- 23:09Speaker 2: addresses the, issue president can sign an executive order defying
- 23:13Speaker 2: an existing. Law but if the law there's no law
- 23:15Speaker 2: that says anything going to wear or another on, something
- 23:17Speaker 2: then the executive order Stands trump suggesting pass a, law
- 23:21Speaker 2: and that will have greater. WEIGHT i don't think it.
- 23:22Speaker 2: WOULD i think that The Supreme court here said that
- 23:25Speaker 2: The Fourteenth amendment means this thing, here and that you'd
- 23:28Speaker 2: have to change The. Constitution AND i don't have any
- 23:31Speaker 2: optimism at all that you could ever get thirty eight
- 23:34Speaker 2: states to agree to rewrite, this particularly given the fact
- 23:39Speaker 2: that The democrats think that the overwhelming majority of these
- 23:43Speaker 2: people who are born in The United states are going
- 23:45Speaker 2: to vote For. Democrats there are a lot of rulings
- 23:54Speaker 2: this week from The Supreme, court AND i can't cover
- 23:58Speaker 2: all of. THEM i do want to highlight one component
- 24:04Speaker 2: of one of the other. Cases earlier in the, week
- 24:07Speaker 2: The Supreme court upheld the rights of The states to
- 24:10Speaker 2: ban males from female sporting. Activities Justice thomas issued a concurring.
- 24:27Speaker 2: Opinion concurring opinion means he agrees with the, majority but
- 24:31Speaker 2: he wanted to add in his. Thoughts this thing is
- 24:37Speaker 2: if A Supreme court concurrence can go, viral it has
- 24:40Speaker 2: gone viral because in a very very short, Concurrence Clarence,
- 24:45Speaker 2: THOMAS i, think slammed down and refuted the whole gender,
- 24:52Speaker 2: movement this notion that you can choose our own. Sex
- 25:01Speaker 2: i'm going to read his concurrence And i'll take out
- 25:03Speaker 2: the paragraph stuff where he Cites. President The court correctly
- 25:07Speaker 2: holds that Neither title nine nor The Equal Protection clause
- 25:10Speaker 2: prohibits states from offering sex separated. ATHLETICS a man does
- 25:15Speaker 2: not have a legal right to compete against women just
- 25:18Speaker 2: because he believes that he is a. WOMAN i joined
- 25:21Speaker 2: The court's opinion in. FULL i write separately to make two. Points,
- 25:25Speaker 2: first transgender status is not a suspect class requiring heightened
- 25:31Speaker 2: equal protection. Scrutiny let me, interject those are classes of
- 25:37Speaker 2: people that are granted specifically enumerated, rights which we have
- 25:41Speaker 2: certainly done on the basis of skin. Color some believe
- 25:44Speaker 2: that we should do on the basis of any number
- 25:46Speaker 2: of other protecting. Classes we have An American's Disabilities act
- 25:50Speaker 2: that protects what he's saying here is the gender status
- 25:53Speaker 2: is not a suspect class requiring heightened equal protection scrutinyntinues
- 26:01Speaker 2: the class of people who claim transgender status could more
- 26:05Speaker 2: accurately be described as people who are experiencing gender, dysphoria
- 26:12Speaker 2: which is not a discrete group because gender dysphoria is
- 26:20Speaker 2: a mutable mental state that is the object of psychiatric.
- 26:25Speaker 2: Treatment it does not resemble the immutable characteristics on the
- 26:31Speaker 2: basis of which our precedents have applied heightened scrutiny, race,
- 26:36Speaker 2: sex or national. Origin in other, words he's saying those goes, race,
- 26:42Speaker 2: sex or national, origin we have applied specific. Protections, instead
- 26:47Speaker 2: gender dysphoria resembles other characteristics on the basis of which
- 26:51Speaker 2: legislation may classify with a merely rational. Basis legislatures have
- 26:58Speaker 2: many obvious rational base to keep men who believe that
- 27:02Speaker 2: they are women out of cheams and private spaces reserved for. Women,
- 27:07Speaker 2: second as The court, recognizes this case concerns biological men
- 27:12Speaker 2: and boys who identify as. Girls men and boys with
- 27:18Speaker 2: with gender dysphoria are not women or, girls even if
- 27:23Speaker 2: they believe they. Are sex is an immutable biological. Characteristic
- 27:31Speaker 2: it is, binary and man and, woman boy and girl
- 27:34Speaker 2: are the terms that correspond to adults and children of each.
- 27:38Speaker 2: Sex to use language to obscure, reality to show indifference
- 27:46Speaker 2: regarding the truth is to lie to the public and
- 27:51Speaker 2: cease to treat our fellow citizens as. Equals, well that's
- 28:00Speaker 2: pretty good. Writing there's another thing going on with the
- 28:05Speaker 2: courts right. Now there's been so much from the. COURTS
- 28:09Speaker 2: i don't want this one to get lost in the.
- 28:10Speaker 2: Shuffle let's go back to the biggest scandal in the
- 28:14Speaker 2: history of The Supreme court when a court decision was
- 28:17Speaker 2: leaked before it came. Out never happened. Before that was
- 28:19Speaker 2: The dobbs. Decision that was the decision that overturned roe Versus.
- 28:22Speaker 2: Weighed it was, leaked presumably for political, advantage to create
- 28:28Speaker 2: outrage over the decision before it ever came. Out i'll
- 28:32Speaker 2: rage and the women who believed that there was a
- 28:33Speaker 2: legal right to have an. Abortion this, week very, BRIEFLY
- 28:42Speaker 2: npr posted a story That Justice alito is considering. Retirement
- 28:53Speaker 2: they quickly took the story. Down in the story it,
- 29:08Speaker 2: read quote the justice that overturned roe Versus. Weighed then
- 29:15Speaker 2: the pre written article is retracted And alito is. Nowhere
- 29:22Speaker 2: here's the. Question somebody TIPPED mpr off to the notion
- 29:26Speaker 2: That alito is going to, resign and they tipped them off.
- 29:29Speaker 2: Inaccurately there is some suggestion here That, alito in doing,
- 29:41Speaker 2: this was trying to out the person who leaked The dobs.
- 29:47Speaker 2: Ruling that he may have implied to that person that
- 29:51Speaker 2: he was going to quit to see if they would leak,
- 29:54Speaker 2: it which would be a way of exposing who it
- 29:57Speaker 2: was that Leaked. Dobbs the reason this is brought up
- 30:04Speaker 2: is that it is known That Supreme Court Justice Sonya
- 30:07Speaker 2: Soda mayor has been very close with NPR's Nina totenberg.
- 30:12Speaker 2: Forever Nina totenberg has been WITH mpr before there was AN.
- 30:16Speaker 2: Npr she's been their courts reporter forever and ever and.
- 30:18Speaker 2: Ever there is speculation That alita was so furious over
- 30:26Speaker 2: this ruling on birthright citizenship that he set Up Sonya
- 30:32Speaker 2: Sota major to issue another leak as his way of
- 30:35Speaker 2: beginning the process of outing who it was that leaked
- 30:40Speaker 2: The dobbs, ruling which of course would be a. Felony
- 30:48Speaker 2: James woods the Great, ACTOR i, say grant he is
- 30:52Speaker 2: a very good, actor BUT i say the great actor
- 30:53Speaker 2: because of all the act Of if you combine status
- 30:58Speaker 2: and outspoken, conservatism he would be the one that would
- 31:01Speaker 2: have the combination of. Both in other, words there are
- 31:04Speaker 2: some actors that may be extremely, conservative but not quite
- 31:07Speaker 2: as famous As. Woods and there are others may be
- 31:10Speaker 2: more famous Than, woods but they're only moderately. CONSERVATIVE i
- 31:15Speaker 2: think when you combine the Two woods would be the
- 31:17Speaker 2: one he posted on X i think a very good
- 31:21Speaker 2: analysis of the problem, here and it merges his. Mind
- 31:24Speaker 2: the problem here is but we don't have A congress
- 31:27Speaker 2: that can pass good laws and amend the constitution were.
- 31:33Speaker 2: Necessary quote this is Nrom James Wood's the hysteria over
- 31:37Speaker 2: the unsurprising recent decisions of The Roberts Court Justice John
- 31:41Speaker 2: roberts shines a light on the real problem Facing. America
- 31:45Speaker 2: of the three branches of, government we currently have an activist,
- 31:48Speaker 2: judiciary a powerful, executive but a flat tire when it
- 31:51Speaker 2: comes to the legislative. Branch birthright, citizenship for, example was
- 31:56Speaker 2: not expected to be overturned by The Supreme COURT. INJEC
- 32:00Speaker 2: i didn't expect it to be. OVERTURNED i thought the
- 32:02Speaker 2: ruling would go the way it. WOULD i Think trump
- 32:05Speaker 2: had got advice here from his advisors that the court
- 32:07Speaker 2: would indeed side with, him AND i think That trump
- 32:11Speaker 2: got bad advice on, this and thinking that the two
- 32:14Speaker 2: so called conservatives who lean over to the left would
- 32:16Speaker 2: go and ignore what seemed to be the, plain the
- 32:18Speaker 2: written language of The. Court, anyway back to the analysis
- 32:21Speaker 2: Of James, Woods i'll repeat his sentence that led me
- 32:25Speaker 2: to make that. Comment birthright, citizenship for, example was not
- 32:28Speaker 2: expected to be overturned by The Supreme. Court congress could
- 32:31Speaker 2: easily establish common sense legislation that would define more clearly
- 32:36Speaker 2: the original purpose and boundaries intended by the Fourteenth. Amendment that, would,
- 32:40Speaker 2: however Require John, thun The Senate republican, leader to act
- 32:46Speaker 2: like An american statesman rather than a rhino. Hack so there,
- 32:50Speaker 2: is as, usual no. Hope as long as the Pansyas
- 32:55Speaker 2: republicans mints around the halls Of, congress we are. Due
- 33:04Speaker 2: all right, now this, story this needs to be commented.
- 33:10Speaker 2: On for those of you who haven't been following, closely
- 33:13Speaker 2: you may recall That Marty brooks was fired as the
- 33:15Speaker 2: head of The Milwaukee Convention. CENTER i won't go into
- 33:19Speaker 2: wall of, that but they know have to, search op you,
- 33:22Speaker 2: say for a new guy to run this big convention.
- 33:24Speaker 2: Center so in the interim they're naming an interim. Director
- 33:29Speaker 2: this is often. Done university was constant athletic department as interim.
- 33:34Speaker 2: Director by the, way, everybody they seem to have a
- 33:36Speaker 2: candidate in line if they can cut the deal to
- 33:40Speaker 2: take over his full time athletic. Director he's the number
- 33:42Speaker 2: two guy At, texas was the former ad At miami And.
- 33:45Speaker 2: Nebraska seems very and was. Consonated seems very. Qualified but
- 33:49Speaker 2: they're gonna have to pointing up the money and so
- 33:51Speaker 2: on to get him to do. It, Anyway but whenever somebody,
- 33:55Speaker 2: leaves there's an. Interim often the interim is the person
- 34:05Speaker 2: who was like the number. Two for, instance if the
- 34:10Speaker 2: police chief resigns before they name a new, one you,
- 34:13Speaker 2: know the assistant chief or one of the assistant chiefs
- 34:16Speaker 2: would generally take over on an interim. Basis this is
- 34:19Speaker 2: not what's happening, though at the convention center. District do
- 34:23Speaker 2: you know who the convention center district is naming as
- 34:26Speaker 2: the interim head of the convention Center the chairman of the.
- 34:31Speaker 2: District did he name? Himself The board of directors of
- 34:37Speaker 2: the convention center named the chairman of the board to
- 34:39Speaker 2: be the interim director of the convention. Center and he's getting.
- 34:42Speaker 2: Paid he's required to work thirty hours a week he's you,
- 34:46Speaker 2: know he's got all these board, members they have, jobs
- 34:48Speaker 2: they have. Lives, Now i'll admit the guy's name Is Jim.
- 34:51Speaker 2: Canner he may not remember, this BUT i met. Him
- 34:58Speaker 2: he runs one of these craft type. Companies, obviously since
- 35:04Speaker 2: he's in charge of that, company that's a job in
- 35:06Speaker 2: which he can control his hours, there control his hours.
- 35:09Speaker 2: Here so the deal is is that he's going to
- 35:12Speaker 2: work thirty hours a week running the convention, center and
- 35:17Speaker 2: we'll be paying thirty thousand dollars a month to do. So,
- 35:19Speaker 2: ooh that's a good. Gig, annualized that's three hundred and
- 35:25Speaker 2: sixty thousand dollars a year for a thirty week. Job
- 35:29Speaker 2: that's a lot to give it enter. Him so how
- 35:35Speaker 2: did the board decide that the chairman of the board
- 35:39Speaker 2: was the right guy to get this? Thing did he
- 35:41Speaker 2: volunteer and SAY i want? It that would seem to
- 35:45Speaker 2: me to be a conflict of Interest to hire yourself,
- 35:48Speaker 2: AGAIN i Think cannor might be the exact right. Guy
- 35:53Speaker 2: if you're Firing Marty, brooks it may not be the
- 35:55Speaker 2: greatest statement of confidence In Marty brooks's. Staff, furthermore he's
- 36:00Speaker 2: been the chairman of the. Board he's been in. Business
- 36:02Speaker 2: he worked For moss And cores or whatever we Call Miller.
- 36:06Speaker 2: Brewing before, that he was involved in businesses In milwaukee
- 36:13Speaker 2: in the alcohol and tavern, business and now he runs a.
- 36:17Speaker 2: Company he's clearly, qualified and he may be the best
- 36:20Speaker 2: guy for the. Job BUT i just, this this story
- 36:27Speaker 2: certainly demands at least some, scrutiny AND i would think
- 36:30Speaker 2: at the very least they have. To if they're going
- 36:34Speaker 2: to give him this, gig they better move quickly to
- 36:38Speaker 2: hire the. Replacement often these things take fourteen. Months the
- 36:41Speaker 2: first thing you do is to hire a search. FIRM
- 36:45Speaker 2: i actually know people that are in that, business the headhunter.
- 36:47Speaker 2: Business you ever have a headhunter of trying to hunt
- 36:50Speaker 2: you for? ANYTHING i had a one time. TOO i always,
- 36:54Speaker 2: Said i'm not leaving Any i'm not. LEAVING i Just
- 36:59Speaker 2: i've never they understood why you need to give like
- 37:01Speaker 2: two hundred thousand dollars to these head hunters for jobs
- 37:04Speaker 2: at all sorts Of AND i part of it is
- 37:06Speaker 2: it's their job to find somebody who's not just going
- 37:09Speaker 2: to apply that you're going to go and approach him
- 37:11Speaker 2: on the slide so that they don't have to screw
- 37:13Speaker 2: up their current job by putting in an. Application that's
- 37:16Speaker 2: why you use. THAT i love it, though when the
- 37:19Speaker 2: head hunter they hire a head hunting firm and they
- 37:22Speaker 2: end up hiring the person that was on the staff all, Along,
- 37:24Speaker 2: well why do you need To? Anyway now this story
- 37:31Speaker 2: if you want an example of why cities In america
- 37:33Speaker 2: are going to, hell this is a perfect example of.
- 37:37Speaker 2: It milwaukee has not gone to hell as badly as
- 37:40Speaker 2: some other, cities but some things are. Ominous let me
- 37:45Speaker 2: go and back up a. Bit historically one of the
- 37:49Speaker 2: things that is harm, cities and we'll just Use milwaukee
- 37:51Speaker 2: as the proxy as the. Example for the first half
- 37:57Speaker 2: of the nineteen, hundreds really until about nineteen sixty nineteen,
- 38:00Speaker 2: seventy the city Of milwaukee was the employment backbone of Southeastern.
- 38:06Speaker 2: Wisconsin it was not only where all the offices and
- 38:10Speaker 2: the corporate headquarters for companies. Were there were lots of
- 38:13Speaker 2: factories blue collar jobs all over the. City aosmith is
- 38:17Speaker 2: still a, company but they're a very different, company giant.
- 38:20Speaker 2: Manufacturer the breweries were much, bigger and we had three of,
- 38:25Speaker 2: Them Alice. Chalmers you can go to the list of
- 38:31Speaker 2: big factory type blue collar type companies that employed thousands
- 38:37Speaker 2: and thousands of people In milwaukee for lots of reasons that.
- 38:41Speaker 2: CHANGED a lot of those types of jobs didn't just leave,
- 38:44Speaker 2: cities they left the. Country the downsizing and master Lock
- 38:50Speaker 2: Harley davidson, again there's just a million, examples and this
- 38:54Speaker 2: has been pointed out by people on the left as
- 38:58Speaker 2: to why the cities have had these terrible. Problems Corporateer
- 39:00Speaker 2: barica pulled, out, well they kind of pulled out of
- 39:04Speaker 2: the whole, country including the. Cities but in many, cases
- 39:07Speaker 2: a lot of these types of businesses did relocate to
- 39:10Speaker 2: the suburbs for other, reasons including the fact that the
- 39:13Speaker 2: cost of doing business in a city is, very very,
- 39:16Speaker 2: high and then the crime. Problem but that point has
- 39:21Speaker 2: been made that you'll never that the city Of milwaukee
- 39:23Speaker 2: and other big cities will never thrive until we want
- 39:26Speaker 2: to come back and get an employment base in the,
- 39:28Speaker 2: city and there's truth to. That the greatest strength Of
- 39:33Speaker 2: milwaukee lately has been the incredible housing renaissance downtown and
- 39:39Speaker 2: in The Third, ward WHICH i thought for forty years was,
- 39:41Speaker 2: overbuilt even Though i'm one of the people that is
- 39:44Speaker 2: living in part of it and is finally now showing,
- 39:46Speaker 2: sizific you, know of being. Overbuilt in addition to, That
- 39:52Speaker 2: Northwestern mutual and a couple of other people really expanding
- 39:57Speaker 2: their foothold in Downtown. Milwaukee that's been the strength the.
- 40:00Speaker 2: Week this has been what's been happening in all of the,
- 40:02Speaker 2: neighborhoods and not just the central. City there's been a
- 40:05Speaker 2: population exodus because who the hell wants to live in
- 40:08Speaker 2: a high crime. Area and now the manufacturer is long ago,
- 40:13Speaker 2: left and now you're seeing the. Retailers the the retailers
- 40:15Speaker 2: are all leaving because they can't make any money on
- 40:18Speaker 2: these stores because there's stuff's all being stolen right and.
- 40:21Speaker 2: Left so what do you. Do an example of this
- 40:29Speaker 2: is this big property in it's called The midtown. Area
- 40:33Speaker 2: it's Near, capital it's midtown because it's the center of
- 40:36Speaker 2: the north side Of. Milwaukee there was a big walmart.
- 40:43Speaker 2: There it. Closed it's been empty for the longest. Time
- 40:48Speaker 2: think Like, northridge except now put it right in North,
- 40:51Speaker 2: ridges kind of on the periphery of the. City this,
- 40:55Speaker 2: area The Midtown plaza, area is right in the middle Of,
- 40:58Speaker 2: milwaukee and you got these empty Building it was like
- 41:00Speaker 2: an empty department, store an empty strip, mall all it's dead.
- 41:03Speaker 2: Empty there's a proposal now the problem and this goes
- 41:10Speaker 2: back through Numerous milwaukee. Mayors northwist was afflicted with, This
- 41:16Speaker 2: barrett was afflicted with. It every head of The Milwaukee
- 41:19Speaker 2: department Of City, Development Rocky marc who used to run that,
- 41:22Speaker 2: agency he was afflicted with. It Lafia, crump the current
- 41:26Speaker 2: guy open minded on. Him maybe he's, not but they
- 41:31Speaker 2: all live. This no shit. Up this is what we
- 41:33Speaker 2: want to have In. Milwaukee As i've explained any number of,
- 41:37Speaker 2: times you don't get to. Decide that would be like
- 41:42Speaker 2: me SAYING i want a private. Chat, oh you gotta do.
- 41:48Speaker 2: IT i don't. Know you don't get something in a
- 41:53Speaker 2: city by saying this is what we're going to. Have
- 41:56Speaker 2: somebody has to want to do. It we need more.
- 42:01Speaker 2: Housing there are people that are holding up signs, here these.
- 42:04Speaker 2: Socialists we need more. Libraries oh my, god we need more.
- 42:07Speaker 2: LIBRARIES i don't think we need any. Libraries But i've
- 42:11Speaker 2: been on this thing. Forever this is a very minority.
- 42:13Speaker 2: OPINION i do not understand the need or value of
- 42:16Speaker 2: libraries at a day and age in which every single
- 42:18Speaker 2: thing in the world is online and most of the
- 42:21Speaker 2: people going into the library are just using it to
- 42:23Speaker 2: go surf on the internet for free and steal. BROADBAND
- 42:30Speaker 2: i know they have blockers on. There i've been saying
- 42:32Speaker 2: forever they go in there so they can look at
- 42:33Speaker 2: their child porn on their phones using The Wi fi
- 42:35Speaker 2: in the. Library it's actually not, true BUT i enjoy
- 42:38Speaker 2: saying it, anyway because they do usually have. Blockers under. This,
- 42:41Speaker 2: anyway let's go back to the premise of you've got
- 42:49Speaker 2: to get something to come in, there and if you
- 42:51Speaker 2: can get that thing to be, commercial all the better
- 42:56Speaker 2: you relieve property taxation on resident and so by having
- 43:00Speaker 2: more commercial in a. Community, secondly if the commercial is job, generating,
- 43:06Speaker 2: again all the. Better but you don't get to decide
- 43:09Speaker 2: who it. Is somebody has to want to come in
- 43:12Speaker 2: and do, it and most employers don't want to come
- 43:18Speaker 2: Into milwaukee at, all even the. Retailers you, know The
- 43:21Speaker 2: walgreens is, leaving the grocery stores are, leaving so you
- 43:26Speaker 2: have better take wants to come. In and the proposal
- 43:31Speaker 2: had two. Components one was storage. Outlets it's an ideal
- 43:40Speaker 2: thing for a. Century, obviously a lot of the people
- 43:43Speaker 2: who live in the inner city are renting and they're
- 43:45Speaker 2: renting not very large, places and they often have more
- 43:48Speaker 2: stuff than the space to put it. IN i had.
- 43:52Speaker 2: THIS i actually even said it back in the. NINETIES
- 43:55Speaker 2: i said on the, program you know the number of
- 43:58Speaker 2: things That i've, said and THEN i sat on my
- 44:00Speaker 2: dumb butt and didn't do anything ABOUT i told all
- 44:04Speaker 2: my friends, this this is like nineteen ninety, six nineteen ninety,
- 44:06Speaker 2: seven we had this area where the just when the
- 44:09Speaker 2: third word has started to redevelop and we had all
- 44:10Speaker 2: these old warehouses that were. Empty you, know we ought
- 44:13Speaker 2: to buy a couple of these and turn them into
- 44:15Speaker 2: a giant storage. Center what DID i? Do? Nothing you
- 44:19Speaker 2: would not believe the number of storage centers. There paul
- 44:22Speaker 2: is now in the storage center. Business it's a great.
- 44:25Speaker 2: Racket your costs once you acquire the property are very.
- 44:29Speaker 2: Limited you have some, security and you build a thing
- 44:33Speaker 2: in which it's really hard to break into the, things
- 44:35Speaker 2: and after that you just collect the monthly. Checks and
- 44:38Speaker 2: there's clearly a need for. It so that'd be part
- 44:43Speaker 2: of it that isn't really job producing other than the
- 44:47Speaker 2: construction that would be, done but it would create an
- 44:49Speaker 2: actual use and it would eliminate the fact that this
- 44:53Speaker 2: area is being used for a lot of drug selling right,
- 44:55Speaker 2: now because there would be security on presents and people
- 44:57Speaker 2: that are coming in to go into their, storage et.
- 45:00Speaker 2: Cetera so that's the first. Part the second party is
- 45:03Speaker 2: here we go a data. Center this data. CENTER i
- 45:10Speaker 2: don't know what the smallest data center in The United states,
- 45:13Speaker 2: is but this one would have been in. Contention but
- 45:15Speaker 2: just say those, words and lefties now their eyeballs pop
- 45:19Speaker 2: out of their. Heads i've been arguing forever that we
- 45:24Speaker 2: cannot say no to data, centers but what we can
- 45:27Speaker 2: do is do a better job of citing. Them i've
- 45:35Speaker 2: used the example of how there's been almost zero opposition
- 45:40Speaker 2: to the largest data center maybe in the country right,
- 45:43Speaker 2: now and that's the one in Southern Racine county That
- 45:45Speaker 2: microsoft is. BUILDING a few people are all complaining who
- 45:50Speaker 2: live nearby because there's a worrying noise that comes off of.
- 45:52Speaker 2: It but when they were building the, thing and even
- 45:54Speaker 2: now there's almost all complaining that obvious there was an ideal,
- 45:57Speaker 2: site in part because it's kind of set away from
- 46:00Speaker 2: a lot of resident there's obviously there's going to be
- 46:03Speaker 2: always somebody that's the closest residence to, it no matter how. Far,
- 46:06Speaker 2: well that might be three miles or it might be three,
- 46:07Speaker 2: feet depending on the. SITE i have said That northridge
- 46:12Speaker 2: would be an ideal site for a data. Center the
- 46:16Speaker 2: land is, available it's not immediately in a residential, area
- 46:22Speaker 2: it's close enough to the freeway to get, there and
- 46:29Speaker 2: it would have the infrastructure of all the utilities that
- 46:32Speaker 2: The city Of, milwaukee the infrastructure of power lines and
- 46:34Speaker 2: all that stuff that's already. There, well the proposal was
- 46:38Speaker 2: to put a very tiny data center at this midtown plaza,
- 46:42Speaker 2: site the Old walmart. Site The Milwaukee Plan commission took
- 46:45Speaker 2: head of hearing. Yesterday i'm doing this podcast on A.
- 46:48Speaker 2: Wednesday they went out for seven, hours and of course
- 46:50Speaker 2: the only people shut up with all these, lefties the,
- 46:52Speaker 2: socialists showed. Up they called themselves this is a new.
- 46:55Speaker 2: Name it isn't even THE, Dsa socialists And labor or
- 46:58Speaker 2: some damn. Thing these people just invent a. Group they
- 47:06Speaker 2: called themselves The party For socialism And. LIBERATION i, MEAN
- 47:17Speaker 2: i almost Expected castro to be back from the data
- 47:19Speaker 2: Chie gavera to be standing in the middle of. Them
- 47:22Speaker 2: they got up during complained about. It of, course they
- 47:24Speaker 2: complained about the data centers now we know what the
- 47:27Speaker 2: knock of the data centers. Are one of the big
- 47:29Speaker 2: ones is the amount of water. Used, right do you
- 47:33Speaker 2: know how much? Water this one would have? Used five
- 47:36Speaker 2: gallons a. Day it's, tiny but that's exactly what sites
- 47:42Speaker 2: like this. ARE fo data centers could be, huge that
- 47:44Speaker 2: could be. Small it would be a dedicated data, center
- 47:47Speaker 2: meaning it would be serving specific. Clients and therefore they
- 47:50Speaker 2: Don't this is not an idea of having a really
- 47:52Speaker 2: really large one five gallons of water a. Day but
- 48:06Speaker 2: these people were opposed to, it screamed and yelled and,
- 48:09Speaker 2: said don't do. It, okay, here what you had is
- 48:14Speaker 2: somebody that actually wanted to come Into milwaukee and do
- 48:19Speaker 2: something that would have employed. People, no beggars can't be.
- 48:26Speaker 2: Choosers so then run around and talk about the chronic
- 48:31Speaker 2: high unemployment of The African american, community the problems of
- 48:35Speaker 2: transportation of people who live in the central city who
- 48:37Speaker 2: can't get to where the jobs are in the, suburbs
- 48:39Speaker 2: when you keep flipping off the people who actually want
- 48:43Speaker 2: to come, IN i actually believe were it not for
- 48:51Speaker 2: the fact that radical leftists run all of these, cities
- 48:55Speaker 2: that the data centers could be put in big cities
- 48:57Speaker 2: in The United, states so that they're not taking up green.
- 49:00Speaker 2: Space you're not going to have these giant power lines
- 49:03Speaker 2: in residential. Areas you're putting them in areas where it's
- 49:06Speaker 2: already an intense electrical grid because of businesses and factories
- 49:09Speaker 2: and there's density involved in so, on and then create
- 49:12Speaker 2: a rim of protection like say this, site and put
- 49:14Speaker 2: the data centers in. There there are areas of The
- 49:17Speaker 2: south side Of chicago that are just abandoned where nobody
- 49:19Speaker 2: lives at. All you could put a data center in.
- 49:21Speaker 2: Down it'd be perfect locations for. Them they would provide economic,
- 49:24Speaker 2: opportunities and they would guarantee that one of the fastest
- 49:32Speaker 2: growing and most important industries in the history of, man
- 49:38Speaker 2: providing data for the, cloud for the entire future OF
- 49:41Speaker 2: ai and every other advancement in computing could occur in
- 49:47Speaker 2: Urban america where there is going to be less disruption
- 49:51Speaker 2: by putting them in there than if we keep trying
- 49:53Speaker 2: to put them all out in the suburbs or people
- 49:55Speaker 2: are against. Them this is a great opportunity for some
- 50:00Speaker 2: of these cities to a bring in massive tax base
- 50:03Speaker 2: improvement and b job, opportunities and then all of the
- 50:09Speaker 2: other things that occur when you have development, nearby which
- 50:11Speaker 2: creates a need for fast food restaurants and all the.
- 50:14Speaker 2: Others in other, words actually create a shot in the.
- 50:16Speaker 2: Arm but no so The Planning. Commission they adjourned without
- 50:19Speaker 2: making a. Decision this is my point about lefties in the,
- 50:24Speaker 2: end they are so damn stupid they can't do. Something
- 50:28Speaker 2: they can't even do a no brainer because they lack of.
- 50:31Speaker 2: Bread they got a bunch of, communists and don't say
- 50:33Speaker 2: that that's not an approach what they call themselves socialist.
- 50:36Speaker 2: LIBERATION i mean every commune word in. There, mouse it's
- 50:40Speaker 2: Mouse Sa tung's. Language by the, way the moment they
- 50:45Speaker 2: got rid of, mouse they took In china and got
- 50:47Speaker 2: In joe and. Live that's what The chinese economy exploded
- 50:49Speaker 2: when they decided to hell with all of This marxism.
- 50:52Speaker 2: Stuff we're gonna be. Communists we're Not. Marxists we're gonna embrace.
- 50:54Speaker 2: Capitalism we're going to take over the. World and they've
- 50:57Speaker 2: never looked. Back i've got to take a break On
- 51:00Speaker 2: Mark belling. Podcast this is The Mark Belling. Podcast, NO
- 51:09Speaker 2: i cannot allow myself to take glee in the following Story,
- 51:16Speaker 2: however the story serves a. Purpose some of you know
- 51:27Speaker 2: Who James causey. Is he's a lefty columnist FOR js.
- 51:33Speaker 2: Online forever they've had other people who've taken on this
- 51:38Speaker 2: role of being The African american radical who writes columns
- 51:44Speaker 2: of the. Paper they've had somebody in this role forever In.
- 51:46Speaker 2: Causey the papers now barely a, paper it's mostly. Online
- 51:50Speaker 2: But causey is he writes an opinion, piece and before
- 51:54Speaker 2: that he's got other jobs. There he got into trouble
- 51:56Speaker 2: when The Washington post caught him for plagiarism about a dec.
- 52:00Speaker 2: Ago he got the newspaper never to this day addressed,
- 52:04Speaker 2: it and cause he never had to apologizes for. It but,
- 52:06Speaker 2: anyway he writes his stuff and he's a, lefty and
- 52:11Speaker 2: he's a lefty and he comments in urban. Issues you know,
- 52:13Speaker 2: what the whole thing is soft on, crime et, cetera

- 54:01Speaker 2: a deeply personal violation that lands like a gut punch
- 54:04Speaker 2: and lingers long after the vehicle is. Gone you know
- 54:06Speaker 2: the fact that he's this is coming out of. Him
- 54:09Speaker 2: this is a good thing that this. Left he has
- 54:11Speaker 2: been enlightened to the scourge of what happens when people violate,
- 54:17Speaker 2: you and they're not violating you because they need a.
- 54:19Speaker 2: Car chances are this car was taken to be joy.
- 54:21Speaker 2: Ridden maybe it's chop chopped, up but the majority of
- 54:24Speaker 2: these cars that are stolen are found banged up a
- 54:26Speaker 2: bit and abandoned somewhere. ELSE i went To, oh my

- 54:46Speaker 2: a five disappeared From Northeast street Between West highland And
- 54:48Speaker 2: West Juno avenue outside m ATC's downtown. Campus between two

- 54:54Speaker 2: Interview Vivian king About dianair And blanc FOR pbs now
- 55:00Speaker 2: Vaux it was supposed to be a quick. Stop he
- 55:02Speaker 2: goes on and on and. On then he points out
- 55:04Speaker 2: he got back to the. Thing by the, way people
- 55:05Speaker 2: have dreams about. This have you ever had this? Dream
- 55:07Speaker 2: you wake up and you go to where your car
- 55:09Speaker 2: is and the car's not. There it's a. Car i've had,
- 55:13Speaker 2: it maybe a couple of, times but it's one of
- 55:14Speaker 2: those common, dreams like, flying or you're, naked or just
- 55:17Speaker 2: it's a common. Dream it's a. Panic gave way it a. Certainty,
- 55:21Speaker 2: DAMN i, muttered they got me. Car thef's And milwaukee
- 55:24Speaker 2: have fallen sharply from their peak a few years. Ago
- 55:26Speaker 2: but statistics throwing off are much comfort when you're the.
- 55:29Speaker 2: Victim so then he goes on and on and points
- 55:32Speaker 2: out he has. Insurance but My audi wasn't valuable because
- 55:35Speaker 2: it was flash you were. Expensive it was valuable because
- 55:38Speaker 2: it was paid, Off it was. Reliable it got me
- 55:39Speaker 2: WHERE i needed to. Go and then he, SAID i
- 55:42Speaker 2: just want my car. Back i'm not saying this BECAUSE
- 55:50Speaker 2: i have this glee that a left he is a
- 55:52Speaker 2: victim of. Crime i'm bringing this up because the more
- 55:58Speaker 2: times that lefties are victims of, crime the more and
- 56:01Speaker 2: the more they are open to the notion that we
- 56:05Speaker 2: have got to stop rewarding people who commit crime by
- 56:09Speaker 2: keeping them on the streets to commit another. Crime an
- 56:12Speaker 2: update on the story that we've been covering on this,
- 56:14Speaker 2: Podcast Arrowhead High school and its graduation. Blocked apparently six
- 56:23Speaker 2: or seven students from using the slide. Show students were
- 56:27Speaker 2: allowed to put up a brief comment on a slide
- 56:29Speaker 2: show that was to be shown during the graduation as
- 56:32Speaker 2: all the students went up to get their diplomas and so.
- 56:35Speaker 2: On six or seven of the students had used the
- 56:40Speaker 2: slide show to make some sort of religious, statement and
- 56:42Speaker 2: one of the students has ended up talking about. It
- 56:46Speaker 2: the school district administration told them that they couldn't say.
- 56:48Speaker 2: That they had to say something, else and they cited
- 56:52Speaker 2: a policy that said you can't express any political or
- 56:55Speaker 2: religious viewpoints on. This one of the students her, Name
- 56:59Speaker 2: this is all. Back there's new information here and it's
- 57:01Speaker 2: Big siri And varaja who graduated and went to the
- 57:05Speaker 2: school board after the graduation and complained about. It this made,
- 57:09Speaker 2: news and among the places that it's made news is
- 57:12Speaker 2: on my. PODCAST i quoted on The monday podcast the
- 57:17Speaker 2: response in defense of this censoring Of syrienne by the
- 57:22Speaker 2: school district, Administrator Conrad, farner and he, said we have
- 57:29Speaker 2: policy in, place and the policy is not to allow.
- 57:33Speaker 2: This and if we allowed, this then we'd have to
- 57:35Speaker 2: allow any manner of other kinds of political speech that
- 57:37Speaker 2: was up. There we wouldn't want. That and that was his.
- 57:41Speaker 2: Position and he, said we have the law on our,
- 57:44Speaker 2: side AND i, Said i'm not sure that you do
- 57:48Speaker 2: have the law on your. Side the, law Clearly Supreme
- 57:52Speaker 2: court has held foreff that government cannot censor speech of
- 57:57Speaker 2: a private, individual even if it's on government. Crowds it's
- 58:01Speaker 2: a violation of The First amendment. Right it does state
- 58:04Speaker 2: that government can restrict its own. Speech these were student.
- 58:11Speaker 2: Statements but the administrator's point is it was a presentation
- 58:15Speaker 2: put on by the. District the students submitted this to
- 58:17Speaker 2: the school and the school played. It it's not like
- 58:19Speaker 2: the student was up there giving a. Speech it was
- 58:21Speaker 2: on a slide. Show that the school was putting on
- 58:26Speaker 2: The Wisconsin institute Of first, thing this story has now
- 58:30Speaker 2: gone nationally AS i thought it. Would we now have
- 58:34Speaker 2: some conservative media, outlets and when they see some school
- 58:38Speaker 2: board roll over and allow a superintendent to silence A christian,
- 58:45Speaker 2: kid there are some conservative outlets that will draw attention to.
- 58:48Speaker 2: This this is being covered On Fox, News it's on their.
- 58:50Speaker 2: Website so we now have a national story over something
- 58:53Speaker 2: that only occurred because the superintendent could have just let this.
- 58:57Speaker 2: Happen and my guess is maybe three people would have
- 58:59Speaker 2: bitch that the student in Question. Syria she Quoted proverbs three.
- 59:03Speaker 2: Six it's a rather benign in terms of it's not
- 59:08Speaker 2: even Avertly. Christian it's from The Old. Testament Fox news covered,
- 59:16Speaker 2: this and now The Wisconsin institute Of law On, liberty
- 59:19Speaker 2: which is a conservative legal organization based In milwaukee and
- 59:22Speaker 2: becoming probably the premier conservative civil rights organization in The United,
- 59:28Speaker 2: states they have sent a letter today To Arrowhead School,
- 59:36Speaker 2: board essentially saying we're going to sue. You you clearly
- 59:44Speaker 2: violated her rights and you had no right to do. It.
- 59:47Speaker 2: Now i'll get into their statement in a. Moment in
- 59:50Speaker 2: response to, THIS i contacted the president of the school
- 59:53Speaker 2: board and copied the other school board, members essentially, saying all, right,
- 59:58Speaker 2: now if you don't ret act this and issue an
- 1:00:01Speaker 2: apology to the, student you're gonna be sued and you're gonna. Lose,
- 1:00:05Speaker 2: furthermore if your, sued that means you have to hire
- 1:00:07Speaker 2: a lawyer to defend your. Censorship are you gonna do
- 1:00:11Speaker 2: the right thing and the easy thing by just admitting
- 1:00:13Speaker 2: that you shouldn't have done. It the president of the
- 1:00:22Speaker 2: school board is Named Kim, schubert and she's dug. In
- 1:00:27Speaker 2: i'll read her response to, me but summarizing, Idiots, no
- 1:00:30Speaker 2: we're not gonna back. Down we did the right, Thing
- 1:00:34Speaker 2: so go ahead and sue. Us see here's the. Thing
- 1:00:39Speaker 2: when you tell will to go ahead and sue, them
- 1:00:41Speaker 2: got sue you and they Get they win these cases
- 1:00:45Speaker 2: right and. Left often after the suit has, filed the
- 1:00:48Speaker 2: lawyers for the, individual district or governmental bodies say you
- 1:00:52Speaker 2: gotta losing case or you better. Settle here's the RESPONSE
- 1:01:01Speaker 2: i received From Kim, schubert the school board. President dear Mister,
- 1:01:04Speaker 2: Belling by the, way this just holds. Forever when the
- 1:01:09Speaker 2: person's agreeing with my, position they say Dear. Mark when they're,
- 1:01:13Speaker 2: disagreeing they, say dear Mister, BELLING i probably do that,
- 1:01:18Speaker 2: too dear Mister. Belling over the past five, years The
- 1:01:21Speaker 2: Aarhea High School board Of education has been intentional and
- 1:01:24Speaker 2: proactive in developing and overseeing the implementation of strong conservative board.
- 1:01:27Speaker 2: Policies BUT i brought this up because the school board
- 1:01:30Speaker 2: And narrowhead the majority of the members have campaigned on
- 1:01:32Speaker 2: the basis of being. Conservative and as you, KNOW i
- 1:01:35Speaker 2: find that many conservative school board members then once they
- 1:01:38Speaker 2: get on the board stop being conservative instead roll over
- 1:01:42Speaker 2: to the invariably leftist superintendent that they. Hire, NOW i
- 1:01:45Speaker 2: don't know if foreigner's a. LEFTIST i may have to stiff.
- 1:01:48Speaker 2: AROUND i know he came From, cedarburg which would be
- 1:01:50Speaker 2: indication he is a, leftist but maybe he's. Not but
- 1:01:54Speaker 2: the conservative school boards often say that they're conservative until
- 1:01:56Speaker 2: it comes time to actually act, conservatively proactive and developing
- 1:02:01Speaker 2: and overseeing implementation of a strong conservative board policies that
- 1:02:04Speaker 2: reflect both the values of the community and the best
- 1:02:06Speaker 2: interests of our. Students our policy work has been recognized Throughout,
- 1:02:09Speaker 2: wisconsin with other public school districts Using arrowheads policies as
- 1:02:12Speaker 2: models for their own. ADOPTION i would welcome the opportunity
- 1:02:15Speaker 2: to discuss our policies with you and the thoughtful process
- 1:02:17Speaker 2: behind the. Development the policies adopted by our board are
- 1:02:21Speaker 2: not merely statements on. Paper they guide the day to
- 1:02:23Speaker 2: day operation of our high, school the including decisions surrounding
- 1:02:26Speaker 2: our annual graduation conventional. Ceremony this year's graduates will providing,
- 1:02:30Speaker 2: clear explicit guidelines regarding the personalized messaging displayed on the
- 1:02:35Speaker 2: jumbo tron during the. Commencement, unfortunately a student's failure to
- 1:02:39Speaker 2: follow those directions as resulted in the controversy now being.
- 1:02:42Speaker 2: DISCUSSED i just love the fact that we told them
- 1:02:47Speaker 2: that they can't do. That somehow is an excuse to
- 1:02:50Speaker 2: violate someone's. Rights if you're violating someone's rights and they
- 1:02:53Speaker 2: don't go along with their rights being, violated you're not
- 1:02:56Speaker 2: covered because you told them you were going to violate the.
- 1:02:58Speaker 2: Rights she could digu. Use when concerns a rose regarding
- 1:03:01Speaker 2: the denial of A bible, Verse Superintendent farner appropriately sought
- 1:03:04Speaker 2: legal guidance from our attorney at The Wisconsin association Of School. Boards,
- 1:03:10Speaker 2: now let me interject on this the number of school
- 1:03:14Speaker 2: districts in the state Of wisconsin that have gotten themselves
- 1:03:17Speaker 2: into legal hot water by either a asking their attorneys
- 1:03:20Speaker 2: At Bulau vetter or The Wisconsin association of School board
- 1:03:25Speaker 2: which has a full time staff Of madison based, LAWYERS
- 1:03:30Speaker 2: i would suggest the next time around you contact a
- 1:03:33Speaker 2: good lawyer, anyway on the basis of the lawyer at
- 1:03:36Speaker 2: The Wisconsin association of the School boards that we, contacted
- 1:03:39Speaker 2: the same attorney who assisted in drafting many of the
- 1:03:42Speaker 2: board's conservative. Policies after receiving that, guidance the district acted
- 1:03:46Speaker 2: consistently with both the law and the board's owned. Policies
- 1:03:49Speaker 2: WHILE i believe the overwhelming, majority if not, every member
- 1:03:51Speaker 2: of our board would personally welcome students expressing their faith during,
- 1:03:55Speaker 2: graduation permitting one form of religious or ideological expression will
- 1:03:59Speaker 2: require the district omit all. Viewpoints Maybe i'll grant. You maybe.
- 1:04:06Speaker 2: So there, are of course limits on free speech that
- 1:04:11Speaker 2: you can. Make but she's certainly right that if you allowed,
- 1:04:15Speaker 2: THIS i, MEAN i was gonna Say, Jewish but this
- 1:04:18Speaker 2: is an Old testament. Statement somebody could quote the. Caret
- 1:04:23Speaker 2: she may theoretically be correct about. That that would include
- 1:04:28Speaker 2: messages praising, satan or other extremist or offensive expressions that
- 1:04:33Speaker 2: have previously been submitted to. Administration our responsibility is to
- 1:04:37Speaker 2: Apply board policy consistently and without, favoritism regardless of the
- 1:04:41Speaker 2: viewpoint being. Expressed what began is a well intentioned opportunity
- 1:04:44Speaker 2: for graduation graduates to personalize their recognition has unfortunately created
- 1:04:49Speaker 2: a necessary. DISTRACTION i love that. This whether you're on
- 1:04:53Speaker 2: the light of the, red whenever somebody brings up a
- 1:04:55Speaker 2: story that you don't, like they call it a. Distraction
- 1:04:58Speaker 2: it's distracting to. You i'm not distracted by. This i'm
- 1:05:02Speaker 2: quite an. Arrested but don't, You? Jason are you isn't
- 1:05:04Speaker 2: distracted from the podcast or are you enjoying this particular.
- 1:05:07Speaker 2: SECOND i think that this is a good. Say i'm
- 1:05:09Speaker 2: not distracted at. ALL i mean many things are. Distraction
- 1:05:16Speaker 2: REMEMBER morgana set before your? Time, YEAH morgana was this
- 1:05:20Speaker 2: big boobed strippery WHO i mean she had to she
- 1:05:24Speaker 2: was clearly getting. Assistance she would run onto baseball stadiums
- 1:05:28Speaker 2: and go to the mound and kiss the. PICTURE i,
- 1:05:31Speaker 2: MEAN i THINK i don't ever HEAR i don't remember
- 1:05:33Speaker 2: her being. ARRESTED i think that she cut deals with
- 1:05:35Speaker 2: the team that now you could say that that was an.
- 1:05:37Speaker 2: Distraction was it a bad, again that's up to. You
- 1:05:42Speaker 2: let me get back to my point. Here, distraction there
- 1:05:45Speaker 2: are just certain things anyway from the true purpose of
- 1:05:49Speaker 2: commencement celebrating the accomplishments of our. Students, NO i would
- 1:05:53Speaker 2: retort to, That, seriously True christians taad that their faith
- 1:06:03Speaker 2: is the center of their lives and everything else's. Secondary and,
- 1:06:07Speaker 2: therefore if she's going to make a statement upon her,
- 1:06:09Speaker 2: commencement it almost would be imperative if she has strong religious,
- 1:06:13Speaker 2: beliefs that there would be a religious component to. It,
- 1:06:15Speaker 2: FURTHERMORE i will also indicate that her statement was close
- 1:06:19Speaker 2: to non. Denominational it was a biblical verse and it
- 1:06:22Speaker 2: capitalized it was either him or he referring To. God
- 1:06:25Speaker 2: but it certainly was Not. Christian it came from The
- 1:06:27Speaker 2: Old testament. Anyway, consequently the district will continue the original
- 1:06:32Speaker 2: JumboTron mession message beginning with future graduation. Ceremonies our board
- 1:06:37Speaker 2: remains committed to adopting and faithfully implementing policies that are legally,
- 1:06:40Speaker 2: sound reflecting the values of our. Community in, place the
- 1:06:42Speaker 2: educational mission Of arrowhead, AGAIN i welcome the opportunity to
- 1:06:45Speaker 2: ride you more detail on our policy. Development, NOW i
- 1:06:48Speaker 2: will point out she didn't answer a single damn question
- 1:06:51Speaker 2: THAT i. Asked i'm now going to doing this in.
- 1:06:53Speaker 2: Reverse this is WHAT i said, her because she gave
- 1:06:55Speaker 2: me all these things defending. IT i instead this is
- 1:06:57Speaker 2: WHAT i wrote now that the decision to ban a
- 1:07:00Speaker 2: student from quoting A bible verse in the graduation slide
- 1:07:03Speaker 2: show has produced the threat of a lawsuit from The
- 1:07:05Speaker 2: Wisconsin institute For law And liberty and has received national
- 1:07:08Speaker 2: attention On Fox. News will the school board finally address this?
- 1:07:11Speaker 2: Matter it is fairly clear that once a student is
- 1:07:14Speaker 2: allowed to, speak that such speech cannot be, censored particularly
- 1:07:18Speaker 2: if that speech is protected under The First. Amendment your
- 1:07:21Speaker 2: superintendent has stubbornly continued to defend this, decision evidently citing,
- 1:07:25Speaker 2: advice AND i put that in quotes In Wisconsin association
- 1:07:27Speaker 2: of School. Boards the vast majority of The arrowhead School
- 1:07:30Speaker 2: board ran as, conservatives yet has refused to reign in
- 1:07:33Speaker 2: an administrator who went farther than most liberalistic administrators would
- 1:07:37Speaker 2: have gone in gagging a student's expression of her. Faith
- 1:07:40Speaker 2: will the school board address this. Issue will it acknowledge
- 1:07:42Speaker 2: the administration aired or is the district going to spend
- 1:07:45Speaker 2: funds to go to court to defend this mishandling knowing
- 1:07:49Speaker 2: that it is wrong on the law and wrong on.
- 1:07:51Speaker 2: POLICY i will be commenting on this matter of my podcast.
- 1:07:54Speaker 2: Today and THEN i mentioned WHEN i, record i'd appreciate
- 1:07:56Speaker 2: responsor before, that and she, DID i will, say give
- 1:07:58Speaker 2: me the response prior to that. Point, now AS i,
- 1:08:03Speaker 2: said The wisconsin in stitut of law on, liberty and
- 1:08:05Speaker 2: they've released the letter. Today it is. LONG i won't
- 1:08:08Speaker 2: read it, all but the point in it being long
- 1:08:10Speaker 2: is in writing the letter will It's milwaukee based. Organization
- 1:08:16Speaker 2: Rick easenburg's ahead of, it but they've got big. Staff
- 1:08:19Speaker 2: now they've done tremendous. Work they lay out the entire
- 1:08:24Speaker 2: legal basis for why the district is wrong in defending
- 1:08:27Speaker 2: the objections here of this. Student and AS i, say
- 1:08:32Speaker 2: the school district is. Wrong once they open the door
- 1:08:34Speaker 2: to allow the student to, speak they can't censor the
- 1:08:37Speaker 2: student speech if it tends to be. Religious what they
- 1:08:39Speaker 2: can do is not allow anybody to. Speak and for,
- 1:08:42Speaker 2: example it's many cases students have used their commencement speech
- 1:08:46Speaker 2: their graduations speak to say something. Religious the courts have
- 1:08:48Speaker 2: been clear on that you can't stop. Them you can
- 1:08:54Speaker 2: stop an employee while representing the district from doing, something
- 1:08:59Speaker 2: but you can't the student who's an individual unto him
- 1:09:02Speaker 2: or herself from saying what they want to. Say here's
- 1:09:06Speaker 2: the beginning of the letter to the school. District The
- 1:09:09Speaker 2: wisconsonancity Of law And liberty Represents Sariann buranja regarding the
- 1:09:13Speaker 2: decision By Arrowhead Union High School district officials to prohibit
- 1:09:16Speaker 2: her from including A bible verse at a graduation slide show
- 1:09:18Speaker 2: submission on The june, sixth twenty twenty sixth. Commencement in
- 1:09:21Speaker 2: addition to representing Miss, Buranja will also represents her, Mom Laura,
- 1:09:26Speaker 2: engel who has younger, children including a daughter who will
- 1:09:29Speaker 2: soon Attend Arrowhead High school and then they go on
- 1:09:32Speaker 2: to point. Oute will has serious concerns that the district
- 1:09:35Speaker 2: Violated Miss barraga's rights under The Free Speech clause And
- 1:09:39Speaker 2: free Exercise clause of The First amendment by excluding her
- 1:09:41Speaker 2: expression solely because it conveyed a religious. Viewpoint the district
- 1:09:45Speaker 2: also risks violating The First amendment rights the future graduating
- 1:09:48Speaker 2: students then it lays out the background of the. Case
- 1:09:50Speaker 2: you know, that so go forward legal. Analysis The First
- 1:09:53Speaker 2: amendment does not permit public schools to suppress student speech
- 1:09:56Speaker 2: merely because it is. Religious religious speech is protected space
- 1:10:00Speaker 2: each and public schools may not discriminate against spach because
- 1:10:02Speaker 2: it reflects a religious. Perspective, here the critical question is
- 1:10:06Speaker 2: not Whether arrow had permitted students to express. Themselves if plainly,
- 1:10:09Speaker 2: did students were invited to submit personal messages to accompany
- 1:10:12Speaker 2: their graduation, slides and the district approved of wide variety
- 1:10:15Speaker 2: of personal, expressions including statements of, gratitude inspirational, messages, humor
- 1:10:20Speaker 2: pop culture, references song, lyrics and even requests for financial.
- 1:10:23Speaker 2: Support the question is whether students were permitted to be
- 1:10:27Speaker 2: to express themselves only if their message was non. Religious
- 1:10:29Speaker 2: the answer appears to be. YES a student who thinks, parents, coaches,
- 1:10:34Speaker 2: teachers and friends could apparently. PARTICIPATE a student who Thank
- 1:10:37Speaker 2: god could not SEE i just membo To, Aaron you're
- 1:10:43Speaker 2: gonna lose this, case so get over, yourself and it
- 1:10:49Speaker 2: may you're wrong.
- 1:10:53Speaker 1: The.
- 1:10:53Speaker 2: Policy, yeah you made a. Policy The south made a
- 1:10:57Speaker 2: law that said they could have, slaves not ecquitting the,
- 1:10:59Speaker 2: two but just because you did something didn't mean that
- 1:11:02Speaker 2: it's something that you were legally allowed to. Do why
- 1:11:05Speaker 2: don't you stop? Yelling all? Right back to the. THING
- 1:11:09Speaker 2: a student who shared an inspirational message From batman could apparently,
- 1:11:13Speaker 2: participate a student who shared an inspirational verse and The
- 1:11:16Speaker 2: bible could. Not such an distinction is quintessential viewpoint. Discrimination
- 1:11:22Speaker 2: they then go on and analyze The Supreme Court's hazelwood,
- 1:11:25Speaker 2: case which is the operative matter here which the superintendent relied.
- 1:11:29Speaker 2: Upon then, continuing the constitution does not permit school districts
- 1:11:33Speaker 2: to engage in viewpoint. Discrimination and they come up with
- 1:11:35Speaker 2: numerous presidents on, this and again it's very. Long they
- 1:11:38Speaker 2: lay out this case and that's why the school board
- 1:11:40Speaker 2: president has gotten this and the fact that she digs
- 1:11:41Speaker 2: in her heels after reading a legal analysis from lawyers
- 1:11:45Speaker 2: that are far more qualified than the hacks over at
- 1:11:47Speaker 2: The Wisconsin association of School. Boards just in your conservative
- 1:11:53Speaker 2: how much money and how are you going to spend
- 1:11:55Speaker 2: going to court to defend this case that you will?
- 1:11:57Speaker 2: Lose further from Will, Ms baranja's personal expression on the
- 1:12:03Speaker 2: slide was not tantamount to the district Endorsing, christianity, see
- 1:12:06Speaker 2: and that's the thing that the district was hanging in sat.
- 1:12:08Speaker 2: Out they're, saying if we let her say this on
- 1:12:09Speaker 2: the side, show then a slide, show then it becomes our.
- 1:12:12Speaker 2: Speech here's their reputation in that to the extent the
- 1:12:14Speaker 2: district Silenced Ms baranja out of a hypothetical concern that
- 1:12:17Speaker 2: her message might be perceived as the district Endorsing. Christianity
- 1:12:21Speaker 2: the rational embraces an outdated understanding Of Establishment clause. Doctrine
- 1:12:25Speaker 2: THE Us Supreme court long ago abandoned the endorsement test
- 1:12:28Speaker 2: for evaluating The establishment, clause and then it Cites kennedy
- 1:12:32Speaker 2: case five ninety SEVEN us at five to, ten comes
- 1:12:35Speaker 2: up with the legal citations and his sense interpreted the
- 1:12:38Speaker 2: clause by reference to historical practices and, understandings and then
- 1:12:42Speaker 2: they come up with numerous other. Sites, regardless the policy
- 1:12:45Speaker 2: cannot logically rely upon purported fear of religious coercion because
- 1:12:49Speaker 2: A bible verse displayed for a few seconds on a
- 1:12:51Speaker 2: students slide cannot reasonably be understood to make a religious observance.
- 1:12:57Speaker 2: Compulsory continues And i'll read the conclusion graduation marks the
- 1:13:03Speaker 2: culmination of a student's educational. Journey The constitution does not
- 1:13:06Speaker 2: permit a public school district to require students to conceal
- 1:13:09Speaker 2: or abandon those religious viewpoints as the price of participation
- 1:13:12Speaker 2: participation in that. Milestone too often we have seen well
- 1:13:16Speaker 2: meaning school, officials thinking they are complying with the establishment,
- 1:13:19Speaker 2: cause mistakenly go too far and censor the private speech of,
- 1:13:23Speaker 2: students violating Students First amendment. Rights Regarding Missus, engele that's
- 1:13:27Speaker 2: the mom parents possess a well recognized liberty and first
- 1:13:31Speaker 2: in directing the upbringing and education of their. Children Missus
- 1:13:34Speaker 2: engle understandably wishes to know whether her younger daughter will
- 1:13:38Speaker 2: be permitted to express her faith on equal terms of
- 1:13:41Speaker 2: their peers when she reaches. Graduation and then here's their,
- 1:13:44Speaker 2: demand and the demands are. Reasonable we therefore request the
- 1:13:48Speaker 2: district kack the following. Action what, confirmed writing that students
- 1:13:52Speaker 2: retain the right to express religious viewpoints on the same
- 1:13:55Speaker 2: terms as comparable non religious viewpoints and graduation related submissions
- 1:14:00Speaker 2: and other student expression. Opportunities to rescind any, policy, directive,
- 1:14:04Speaker 2: practice or interpretation that prohibits student religious expression solely because
- 1:14:08Speaker 2: it is religious in. Nature three require administrative officials for
- 1:14:12Speaker 2: the district to undergo training and religious liberty and student.
- 1:14:14Speaker 2: Speech oh that's so WHAT i. LOVE i want to
- 1:14:17Speaker 2: See Conrad farner and The principles At all out Of
- 1:14:20Speaker 2: narrowhead go in there and being told all this stuff
- 1:14:23Speaker 2: you believed about silencing, religion you can't do. IT i
- 1:14:28Speaker 2: hope they don't back down on that. Demand that's the good.
- 1:14:30Speaker 2: One do you know how many conservatives have been forced
- 1:14:32Speaker 2: to go through on the job training ON dei and
- 1:14:35Speaker 2: all of this other crap for issue a public apology
- 1:14:39Speaker 2: To Miss moranja and her family acknowledging that religious viewpoints
- 1:14:42Speaker 2: are entitled to the same constitutional protections as comparable non religious.
- 1:14:46Speaker 2: Viewpoints in committing that the future students will not be
- 1:14:49Speaker 2: subject to similar, discrimination our clients would prefer to resolve
- 1:14:52Speaker 2: this matter cooperatively and without. Litigation, however they are prepared
- 1:14:57Speaker 2: to pursue all available legal remedies to defend their constitutional.
- 1:15:00Speaker 2: Rights Ms miranja is evaluating her legal option to address
- 1:15:03Speaker 2: the violation of her, rights and Missus engel is prepared
- 1:15:06Speaker 2: to take appropriate action to ensure that future, graduates including
- 1:15:08Speaker 2: her younger, daughter are not subjected to similar on constitutional.
- 1:15:12Speaker 2: Treatment it's signed by officials of The Wisconson institute For
- 1:15:15Speaker 2: law On liberty and a bunch of the brilliant legal
- 1:15:18Speaker 2: minds over there signed said name of. This, again not
- 1:15:22Speaker 2: THAT i expect them to take my, advice BUT i
- 1:15:23Speaker 2: would Advise aerroit to do the hardest thing in the
- 1:15:27Speaker 2: world and, mate you were. Wrong and also understand that
- 1:15:33Speaker 2: if you're seeking legal advice from a lefty law firm
- 1:15:36Speaker 2: like Bulau vader or a Lefty madison based association Like
- 1:15:41Speaker 2: Thois Consent association School, boards you're probably gonna get crap.
- 1:15:45Speaker 2: Advice there was a, time AND i said at the
- 1:15:49Speaker 2: beginning of the, program so much of today's show is
- 1:15:51Speaker 2: about the. Courts one of the areas in which the
- 1:15:53Speaker 2: courts over the years has gotten more, conservative has gotten,
- 1:15:56Speaker 2: right has been to re establish that The First amendment
- 1:15:59Speaker 2: of The United states does not ban individuals from expressing
- 1:16:03Speaker 2: their religious, viewpoints but in fact specifically demands that they
- 1:16:07Speaker 2: be allowed to do. So one other quick, case it
- 1:16:12Speaker 2: also involves that since this, Organization Wisconsin institute Of law And,
- 1:16:15Speaker 2: liberty this has been an ongoing, case The State department
- 1:16:18Speaker 2: Of Public instruction went off to a conference In Wisconsin
- 1:16:21Speaker 2: dells and held it or might have been a one
- 1:16:24Speaker 2: day meeting or two day. Meeting that was the meeting
- 1:16:26Speaker 2: in which they decided to lower the state academic. Standards
- 1:16:29Speaker 2: in other, words a lower score would be considered passing
- 1:16:31Speaker 2: on the standardized tests and would be considered to be.
- 1:16:35Speaker 2: Proficient they lowered the, standards and they went off and
- 1:16:37Speaker 2: did this at this. Meeting it was Consin Dell's there
- 1:16:41Speaker 2: was a request for the records of that, meeting and
- 1:16:43Speaker 2: The department Of Public instruction defied it for eighteen. Months
- 1:16:50Speaker 2: they defied it because they clearly didn't notice the meeting
- 1:16:54Speaker 2: and they didn't want to be able to have to
- 1:16:56Speaker 2: release the, records which would show which people, said what
- 1:16:59Speaker 2: about why we have to lower the standards to make
- 1:17:02Speaker 2: it appear as though our crappy schools aren't as crappy
- 1:17:04Speaker 2: as they. Are Wisconsin incity Of law On liberty is
- 1:17:07Speaker 2: now demanding that they pay for this delay and is
- 1:17:12Speaker 2: demanding compensation at one hundred and thirty four thousand. Dollars
- 1:17:16Speaker 2: The evers administration AND dpi is separate from, it but
- 1:17:19Speaker 2: The Evers, administration The Josh Call department Of, JUSTICE, dpi
- 1:17:25Speaker 2: AND i will grant The Republican legislature has flipped off
- 1:17:31Speaker 2: the state open records open records law and has ignored
- 1:17:35Speaker 2: blatant violations of the open meetings. Law they need to
- 1:17:40Speaker 2: be made to. Pay you're listening to The Mark belling.
- 1:17:45Speaker 2: Podcast this is The Mark Belling. Podcast i'm going to
- 1:17:50Speaker 2: use the last segment here to plug the final podcast
- 1:17:53Speaker 2: of the. Week that'll be the. One this Is. Wednesday
- 1:17:55Speaker 2: we'd be releasing it Tomorrow. Thursday it's going to be
- 1:17:58Speaker 2: my fourth Of july, podcast, which if you don't, not
- 1:18:01Speaker 2: despite the fact THAT i constantly bring it, up is my.
- 1:18:04Speaker 2: Birthday it actually coincides, with of, course the two hundred
- 1:18:07Speaker 2: and fiftieth birthday of The United. States it is rather
- 1:18:14Speaker 2: remarkable that on a big number of anniversary like, THIS
- 1:18:17Speaker 2: i think the premise of our nation is being attacked
- 1:18:22Speaker 2: more seriously than at any point in its two hundred
- 1:18:25Speaker 2: and fifty year. History i'm pessimistic about the future of the,
- 1:18:30Speaker 2: country AND i want to address the brilliance of The
- 1:18:36Speaker 2: declaration and how the principles in it are simply being
- 1:18:41Speaker 2: wholesale rejected by The marxist radicals who don't believe in
- 1:18:48Speaker 2: those rights and don't believe in those. Principles so that'll
- 1:18:51Speaker 2: be a big portion of the next podcast that we
