- 0:14Speaker 1: iTunes and Hillsdale Morning, Glorian Evening, Grace America. Welcome to
- 0:19Speaker 1: the second Children fifty years of America as the Rule
- 0:22Speaker 1: of Law and the Republic. I'm Hugh Hewitt. Great to
- 0:25Speaker 1: be the voice of reason from the West to the East.
- 0:29Speaker 1: Great to be with you today. Hope you had a
- 0:30Speaker 1: wonderful two hundred and fiftieth birthday party for the country.
- 0:34Speaker 1: We did at a fabulous time, founded by family, except
- 0:37Speaker 1: for one who's deployed defending freedom, and while missing our
- 0:42Speaker 1: service member, we nevertheless had a great time. I hope
- 0:44Speaker 1: you did as well, and that those of you who
- 0:47Speaker 1: are fireworks inclined are not burned or otherwise injured. They
- 0:51Speaker 1: had a riot in Newport Beach, California. I don't really
- 0:56Speaker 1: quite know what happened there, but I'll figure that out.
- 0:59Speaker 1: I want to begin, however, on the eve of Joly
- 1:01Speaker 1: fourth President Trump at Mount Rushmore gave a great speech,
- 1:06Speaker 1: and then he followed up with a great speech on
- 1:08Speaker 1: the mall. Here is President Trump on Friday night at
- 1:12Speaker 1: Mount Rushmore, Cut number seven.
- 1:15Speaker 2: Tonight, we come to this beautiful mountain, and it is
- 1:18Speaker 2: beautiful to express our gratitude to those who made it possible.
- 1:23Speaker 2: Starting with the four men most responsible for reaching this
- 1:26Speaker 2: milestone more than any others, we salute the father of
- 1:32Speaker 2: our country George Washington, the author of the Declaration of Independence,
- 1:41Speaker 2: Thomas Jefferson, the great emancipator and savior of our Union,
- 1:49Speaker 2: Abraham Lincoln, and the man who built America into a
- 1:55Speaker 2: global superpower, Theodore Roosevelt. These are the men who declared
- 2:03Speaker 2: the freedom, won our freedom, and saved our freedom, and
- 2:07Speaker 2: secured our freedom. They were men of action, men of ambition,
- 2:12Speaker 2: men of daring, men of destiny, and men of truly
- 2:15Speaker 2: great intelligence. Above all, they were great men of history. Tonight,
- 2:22Speaker 2: on the threshold of our twenty fifth year, we stand
- 2:25Speaker 2: beneath the monument of these heroes, a true group of
- 2:30Speaker 2: unbelievable people, and we rededicate ourselves to being a nation
- 2:35Speaker 2: as big, bold, noble, and as great as these American giants,
- 2:39Speaker 2: and that's not easy to do, but we're going to
- 2:42Speaker 2: do it. These men could only have been made in
- 2:46Speaker 2: the USA.
- 2:51Speaker 1: All right. Then he went on to say cut number two.
- 2:56Speaker 2: Yet, as we approached this magnificent anniversary, we see our
- 3:00Speaker 2: American identity under.
- 3:02Speaker 3: A renewed attack.
- 3:03Speaker 2: A generation after we fought and won the Cold War
- 3:07Speaker 2: against the menace of communism, there is now a resurgence
- 3:12Speaker 2: of the communist menace in our land, including from newcomers
- 3:16Speaker 2: to our country who embrace ideas totally opposed to our
- 3:20Speaker 2: way of life and our great success. These are not
- 3:23Speaker 2: mere political disagreements like differences over taxes or regulations. Communism
- 3:30Speaker 2: is a mortal threat to American liberty. It is the
- 3:34Speaker 2: greatest threat to our country including World War I, World
- 3:39Speaker 2: War two, Pearl Harbor, or even nine to eleven.
- 3:43Speaker 3: We're not going to let this happen to us.
- 3:46Speaker 2: Lead me.
- 3:46Speaker 1: We're not letting it.
- 3:47Speaker 2: Happen because communism is the enemy of free people everywhere,
- 3:53Speaker 2: everywhere in the world. Never works, It's the enemy of
- 3:57Speaker 2: the Constitution above all, it's the enemy of July fourth,
- 4:03Speaker 2: seventeen seventy six. It is the enemy. Indeed, even while
- 4:07Speaker 2: the radicals and extremists attack our incredible history at every turn.
- 4:13Speaker 2: They are silent on the miserable history of communism itself because.
- 4:17Speaker 3: It never worked thousands of years.
- 4:20Speaker 2: If you look at it under different names, under somewhat
- 4:22Speaker 2: different ideologies and systems, that system has led to more
- 4:29Speaker 2: death and destruction than any system ever tried. It killed
- 4:33Speaker 2: one hundred million people just in the last century alone.
- 4:37Speaker 2: Communism is the exact opposite of life, liberty, and the
- 4:41Speaker 2: pursuit of happiness. It's death, tyranny, and the pursuit of evil.
- 4:47Speaker 2: The godless communist morality states that anything has justified to
- 4:51Speaker 2: bring about inhuman visions and.
- 4:55Speaker 3: To really propose what's good. They don't want good.
- 4:59Speaker 2: They don't love God, and they don't want God. They
- 5:02Speaker 2: don't love religion and they don't want religion, and they
- 5:05Speaker 2: won't have it. But we will not let them win.
- 5:08Speaker 2: They have no chance against us. They have no respect
- 5:14Speaker 2: for law, justice, principal tradition, or your God given rights.
- 5:20Speaker 2: It's an ideology of mass theft, mass control, mass lies,
- 5:24Speaker 2: and mass murder. Such doctrines can be given no quarter
- 5:28Speaker 2: and democracy because the first thing they do when they
- 5:32Speaker 2: get into powers turn around and destroy it.
- 5:34Speaker 3: It always is destroyed.
- 5:37Speaker 2: Just as communists have done in other countries all over
- 5:41Speaker 2: the world, no matter where you look. Very simply, communism
- 5:44Speaker 2: represents the worst ideas and abuses in history by the
- 5:47Speaker 2: worst people. The American founding represents the best ideas and
- 5:52Speaker 2: traditions in history by the best people. Like you can
- 6:00Speaker 2: be loyal to Karl Marx, or you can be loyal
- 6:04Speaker 2: to America. You can be a communist or you can
- 6:07Speaker 2: be a patriot.
- 6:08Speaker 3: You cannot be both.
- 6:10Speaker 2: As for those who pedal Marxist lies about our heritage,
- 6:14Speaker 2: tell our children that we live on stolen land, or
- 6:19Speaker 2: that our heroes were oppressors, they're doing something much worse
- 6:23Speaker 2: than slandering our past. They are slandering and attacking our future.
- 6:28Speaker 4: Not going to let that happen.
- 6:30Speaker 2: They're trying to tear down the great American character, to
- 6:33Speaker 2: destroy the people who declared independence, who cross the Delaware,
- 6:38Speaker 2: who settle the West and conquered disguise. You know who
- 6:41Speaker 2: those people are.
- 6:43Speaker 5: But we will.
- 6:43Speaker 2: Never let that happen. Our American ancestors did not shed
- 6:48Speaker 2: their blood at Concord and Trenton, Gettysburg and Shiloh, Midway
- 6:53Speaker 2: and Normandy just so that a band of thieves radicals,
- 6:57Speaker 2: that lunatics could come in and loot pill our nation.
- 7:01Speaker 2: Our heroes died to win, build and to save, and
- 7:04Speaker 2: to build truly a great country, the greatest country ever.
- 7:08Speaker 3: In the world.
- 7:14Speaker 2: So on the eve of this two hundred and fiftieth
- 7:18Speaker 2: anniversary of American heritage, we're resolve and swhere for all
- 7:23Speaker 2: to hear that the citizens of the United States of
- 7:26Speaker 2: America will vanquish communism quickly. Don't let them take too
- 7:31Speaker 2: much of your time. You know they're wasting your time,
- 7:35Speaker 2: don't you. But we're not going to let them take
- 7:37Speaker 2: too long or too much of our time as they
- 7:39Speaker 2: play their games and send.
- 7:41Speaker 3: Them into exile.
- 7:43Speaker 2: We will send them quickly away, and we will continue
- 7:47Speaker 2: to build our country bigger and better, stronger.
- 7:50Speaker 1: Than ever before.
- 7:52Speaker 2: America will never be a communist country.
- 8:00Speaker 1: He's right. And by the way, he came back to
- 8:03Speaker 1: that on the fourth of July speech, which I'll get
- 8:05Speaker 1: you in the next segment, I think is back to back.
- 8:09Speaker 1: Denunciation of communists has had an effect on self proclaimed communists.
- 8:14Speaker 1: Graham Platner, the Democratic nominee in Maine for the Senate race,
- 8:18Speaker 1: odds on Polymarket at this hour that Graham platter is
- 8:21Speaker 1: going to drop out of the main Senate race. Have
- 8:24Speaker 1: gone from about oh ten percent to almost forty percent,
- 8:31Speaker 1: rumors of another scandal. I mean, how many more scandals
- 8:33Speaker 1: do you need? I think, Jared Golden, I would not
- 8:38Speaker 1: be surprised if this was the plan all along. Get
- 8:41Speaker 1: Janet Mills out, she couldn't win, couldn't be schoot In Collins,
- 8:45Speaker 1: Get Graham Platner, raise some money, stir up the left,
- 8:49Speaker 1: and then oh we missed all that. Okay, sorry, I
- 8:53Speaker 1: didn't know. He was sexist, homophobic, made fun of wounded veterans,
- 8:57Speaker 1: made fun of Medal of Honor recipients, was a self
- 9:01Speaker 1: proclaimed communist, as a domestic abuse that we didn't know
- 9:04Speaker 1: all about that. So we're pulling his Chaine's out and
- 9:06Speaker 1: then they're gonna try and march in Jared Golden, the
- 9:09Speaker 1: congressman to quit. He said, I've done. I don't want
- 9:12Speaker 1: to be a congress anymore. He's a Democrat from Maine,
- 9:15Speaker 1: second district up north, is marine like Graham Platner. But
- 9:20Speaker 1: no one's gonna beat Susan Collins. It's that simple. No
- 9:25Speaker 1: one's gonna beat her, but Graham Plattner doesn't want to
- 9:28Speaker 1: get salacked, and I doubt he can raise any money now.
- 9:33Speaker 1: I mean every story, the domestic abuse story was the
- 9:35Speaker 1: straw that broke the camel's back. I mean, you can
- 9:37Speaker 1: survive one or two things. But Graham Platner last week
- 9:41Speaker 1: was saying, no, we're getting stronger, We're gonna be fine. No, no,
- 9:44Speaker 1: you're not. You're not getting stronger, getting worse, and you're
- 9:47Speaker 1: gonna drag down all of Maine. Ticket you could lose
- 9:51Speaker 1: the second congressional district, you could lose the first congressional district.
- 9:54Speaker 1: You can. I mean, you're the face of the Democratic Party,
- 9:57Speaker 1: not Mom, Donnie, this guy, Graham Platner. If you're watching
- 9:59Speaker 1: on the same news channel, this guy is who they recruited.
- 10:03Speaker 1: The communists the President talking about. And by the way,
- 10:07Speaker 1: they call themselves socialist, they're not the Democratic socialist in
- 10:09Speaker 1: America are communists. It's a distinction with that of difference.
- 10:13Speaker 1: French Revolution comes along, there's some early socialists, then Marx
- 10:17Speaker 1: comes along with Engels Communist Manifesto eighteen forty eight. Then
- 10:20Speaker 1: we get a variety of communist parties in a variety
- 10:23Speaker 1: of socialist parties. But communism is just socialism on low speed. Right,
- 10:33Speaker 1: socialism is communism on well, let me put this right,
- 10:38Speaker 1: communism and socialism on truth serum. So that's really doesn't
- 10:42Speaker 1: matter if you call yourself a socialist or communist, you're
- 10:45Speaker 1: head in the same direction, which is bankruptcy and tyranny.
- 10:47Speaker 1: Stay tuned on News to It Morgan. Back in America,
- 10:54Speaker 1: I'm Hugh hewittt as we begin our second two hundred
- 10:56Speaker 1: and fifty years. I'm joined by Ambassador Michael orn Israel's
- 10:59Speaker 1: former ambassador to the United States, and Dr Orrin. Let
- 11:03Speaker 1: me play for you what President Trump said about Iran
- 11:06Speaker 1: at the end of one question. Today we'll go from
- 11:08Speaker 1: their cut number nineteen, the president and the elbow this afternoon.
- 11:11Speaker 2: Look, we're gonna win one way or the other. We're
- 11:14Speaker 2: either going to make a deal or we're going to
- 11:15Speaker 2: finish the job. Okay, and it won't be tough to
- 11:18Speaker 2: finish the job. I'd rather make a deal because I
- 11:22Speaker 2: don't want to affect ninety one million people. We can
- 11:25Speaker 2: knock down their bridges in one hour. We can knock
- 11:28Speaker 2: out their energy supply. All of those big plants that
- 11:32Speaker 2: they built, big beautiful modern plants, had a lot of
- 11:35Speaker 2: money they don't have any money. Now, we haven't given
- 11:38Speaker 2: them any money, but we can knock out their electricity
- 11:42Speaker 2: and power generating plants, and I would say a small
- 11:48Speaker 2: part of an afternoon, every plan will be gone.
- 11:51Speaker 1: And they know that. So, doctor, what do you make
- 11:54Speaker 1: of that comment? Because I don't think the talks are
- 11:56Speaker 1: going well. As far as I can tell, I don't.
- 12:00Speaker 3: That they're going well either.
- 12:01Speaker 6: Listen, you know you put a loaded gun on the table,
- 12:04Speaker 6: you better pull the trigger. At least be ready to
- 12:06Speaker 6: pull the trigger, because if you don't want it actually
- 12:07Speaker 6: makes you look weaker than if you hadn't drawn that
- 12:09Speaker 6: pistol on the table. You know, Israel is prepared to
- 12:14Speaker 6: go shoulder or shoulder once again with the United States
- 12:17Speaker 6: of America in addressing a multifaceted Iranian threat. It's not
- 12:22Speaker 6: just a nuclear, it's the bilistic, it's the support for terror.
- 12:25Speaker 6: It's straight ed to removes. Also, you know, you can
- 12:28Speaker 6: take your number here. Israel's ready. And tonight on the news,
- 12:31Speaker 6: they talked about the IDF being in a state of
- 12:34Speaker 6: actually alert from the possibility of renewed hostilities at any moment,
- 12:37Speaker 6: including this moment. But as the President said, he's going
- 12:41Speaker 6: to try to seek a deal. He prefers a deal.
- 12:43Speaker 6: We would prefer a deal also, but depends on the deal,
- 12:46Speaker 6: of course. Right If it's a deal that doesn't address
- 12:48Speaker 6: these core issues, then we're afraid that the deal would
- 12:51Speaker 6: actually be worse than no deal. So we have to wait.
- 12:55Speaker 3: We have to see it and be on our guard.
- 12:57Speaker 1: Now oil is it six K dollars and k sense
- 13:00Speaker 1: of barrel at this very moment, And so that tells
- 13:03Speaker 1: me action is not imminent and that special Envoys Win
- 13:06Speaker 1: Coffin Kushner will keep trying to tell them there's such
- 13:09Speaker 1: a better life for you ahead. But I just watched
- 13:11Speaker 1: some of the tape of the Hamani funeral. These people
- 13:14Speaker 1: are crazy. Marco Ribio said it, the President said it.
- 13:17Speaker 1: They're lunatics. And what part of that doesn't does not
- 13:22Speaker 1: most of America understand they when they say death to America,
- 13:25Speaker 1: death to Israel, death to Trump, they really mean it.
- 13:30Speaker 3: How you kind of deal with these people?
- 13:31Speaker 6: They're calling for your assassination, uh and mass rallies one
- 13:34Speaker 6: hundreds of thousand of people are calling for the murder of
- 13:38Speaker 6: the President of the United States. You're your your presumptive,
- 13:42Speaker 6: your interlocutor here that really owes well, goes well for
- 13:46Speaker 6: peace chances, and so yeah, I don't think there's a
- 13:50Speaker 6: great chance. Now, the question is, is President Trump dragging
- 13:52Speaker 6: his feet until after November? And if so, are the
- 13:55Speaker 6: Iridions that's stupid to wait until November.
- 13:58Speaker 3: They'll probably pick a fight.
- 13:59Speaker 6: With Trump before that and get those gas prices skyrocketing
- 14:02Speaker 6: up again and impairing the Republican's chance of retaining of
- 14:07Speaker 6: both Houses of Congress. A. Yeah, they're not stupid their audience. Well,
- 14:10Speaker 6: if that's the case, you know.
- 14:13Speaker 1: I've been calling it halftime since in the American football analogy,
- 14:18Speaker 1: because both teams are in their locker room and this
- 14:20Speaker 1: a deadly deadly game. However, Grand Platner is about to
- 14:24Speaker 1: drop out of the Senate race because he got another
- 14:27Speaker 1: sexual assault rape allegation in Politico Polymarket has his odds
- 14:32Speaker 1: of dropping out to forty percent. He's gotten till July thirteen,
- 14:35Speaker 1: and they'll try and convince Jared Golden to get in there,
- 14:39Speaker 1: and I don't think they will, but maybe they'll get
- 14:41Speaker 1: him in. Either way, Susan Collins will win. When that happens.
- 14:43Speaker 1: The odds of the Republicans keeping the Senate go way up.
- 14:46Speaker 1: I think Trump becomes more force inclined at that point.
- 14:50Speaker 1: You follow my logic. If grand Platner's out and they
- 14:53Speaker 1: can't win Maine, they can't really win the Senate.
- 14:57Speaker 3: Okay, but what about the House?
- 14:58Speaker 1: And is a given?
- 15:00Speaker 6: And that's sort of a given.
- 15:03Speaker 3: So here we go.
- 15:04Speaker 6: So you know, as they say, from your lips to
- 15:07Speaker 6: God's zear, and again, Israel is one of the many
- 15:12Speaker 6: countries in the world that has a profound interest in
- 15:15Speaker 6: the United States. That's powerful, that's going to project power,
- 15:17Speaker 6: that's going to use power, not just talking about using power.
- 15:21Speaker 6: And if that's the case, then we will be again
- 15:23Speaker 6: all in standing shoulder to the shoulder with the United States.
- 15:26Speaker 1: All right, now, I have a quick question for you.
- 15:28Speaker 1: For three minutes of conversation, doctor Micha Laurin, your Supreme
- 15:32Speaker 1: Court is driving me crazy. I teach conn law, and
- 15:34Speaker 1: I believe in the rule a law, and I think
- 15:36Speaker 1: you know, every country that has a Supreme Court ought
- 15:39Speaker 1: to have a predictable Supreme court that moves gradually, if ever,
- 15:42Speaker 1: towards governing. What is up with your court?
- 15:47Speaker 3: Standing has been up in our court for a long time.
- 15:49Speaker 6: I've been long a long time advocate of judicial reform
- 15:54Speaker 6: in Israel, not soily theuitial reform policy of the government,
- 15:58Speaker 6: but certainly the need to balance and keep in mind,
- 16:02Speaker 6: in the United States, you have not one, but two
- 16:04Speaker 6: opportunities to influence the composition of your Supreme Court.
- 16:07Speaker 3: You vote for a president, you vote for the Senate.
- 16:08Speaker 6: We in Israel do not have that opportunity, and for
- 16:11Speaker 6: that reason, the composition of the Supreme Court is never
- 16:14Speaker 6: an electoral issue in this country. So there's a deep
- 16:17Speaker 6: division between the elected officials in this country and the
- 16:20Speaker 6: judges who overwhelmingly appoint themselves. As if the Supreme Court
- 16:24Speaker 6: in nineteen ninety two would report its replacements, well you'd
- 16:27Speaker 6: have a Supreme Court in twenty twenty six that looked
- 16:29Speaker 6: a lot like the Supreme Court in nineteen ninety two.
- 16:31Speaker 6: Well that's what we have there, a Supreme Court that
- 16:33Speaker 6: looks very much like the Supreme Court of the early nineties.
- 16:36Speaker 6: So there has to be a reform because that I
- 16:40Speaker 6: seriously believe, and I'm sure you believe too, in the
- 16:42Speaker 6: principle of judicial review, that the.
- 16:44Speaker 7: Supreme Court has the last word.
- 16:45Speaker 6: It's one of the pillars of democracy, and it's jeopardized
- 16:48Speaker 6: by the fact that the Supreme Court and the elected
- 16:50Speaker 6: body to knnesse it are so deeply divided over fundamental
- 16:56Speaker 6: issues of the rule of law.
- 16:58Speaker 1: Do you think that the Prime Minister, you know, is
- 17:01Speaker 1: actually happy that the Court is overreaching and that maybe
- 17:04Speaker 1: even happy that he's getting prosecuted and the judge in
- 17:07Speaker 1: that case is saying, hey, guys, this is this case
- 17:10Speaker 1: four thousand mixed no set. Do you think that their
- 17:13Speaker 1: overreach might do for net Yaho what the Democrat did
- 17:16Speaker 1: for Trump, which has helped him out in the election.
- 17:20Speaker 3: Interesting, I haven't heard that.
- 17:21Speaker 1: Here you go, you got me on that theory.
- 17:24Speaker 6: It's a matter I mean, like, go ahead and pull
- 17:26Speaker 6: the trigger, make my day for the Supreme Court.
- 17:28Speaker 3: I live in an area.
- 17:30Speaker 6: I live in an area of South tel Aviva, Jaffa,
- 17:32Speaker 6: which is is working class. It's it's very very traditional religious,
- 17:37Speaker 6: and they see the Supreme Court as a in contrast
- 17:41Speaker 6: to many others. Right, they see the Supreme Court as
- 17:43Speaker 6: the threat to democracy, not the other way around. They'll say, Okay,
- 17:47Speaker 6: who elected you guys, and you're overwriting the people we
- 17:50Speaker 6: did elect. Who's democratic, who's anti democratic?
- 17:53Speaker 3: There has to be a rebalancing.
- 17:54Speaker 6: There has to be a recalibrating the relationship between Israel' judiciary.
- 17:58Speaker 3: And Israel's executive.
- 18:00Speaker 6: And legislative because in this country we only have two
- 18:02Speaker 6: branches of government, not three, and they have to be
- 18:06Speaker 6: very very closely calibried.
- 18:08Speaker 1: We're going to watch that space because the death of
- 18:11Speaker 1: Justice Scullia untimely, though it was made the court an
- 18:14Speaker 1: issue in twenty sixteen got Donald Trump elected in the
- 18:17Speaker 1: first place. It was it mattered to enough people that
- 18:21Speaker 1: had got him elected. I wonder if you're crazy sippering
- 18:24Speaker 1: court isn't going to get Netnielo elected and you're crazy prosecutors.
- 18:28Speaker 1: More on that next week when the ambassador Orren is back. Michaelaurn,
- 18:31Speaker 1: thank you as always, doctor Orn. Don't go anywhere America.
- 18:34Speaker 1: I'll be right back on the Uan Show. Not so fast,
- 18:37Speaker 1: Grant Platner says, not so fast cut Number twenty.
- 18:40Speaker 5: I wanted to directly address the troubling, serious and false
- 18:44Speaker 5: allegations against me. Any accusation of non consensual behavior is
- 18:50Speaker 5: categorically false. Over the last ten months, I have been
- 18:54Speaker 5: deeply humbled by the faith maners have put in me.
- 18:58Speaker 3: You have welcomed me into your.
- 18:59Speaker 5: Homes, into your places of work, into your restaurants, and
- 19:03Speaker 5: to your houses of worship. You have shown that a
- 19:05Speaker 5: different kind of politics, one that puts the interests of
- 19:09Speaker 5: people over corporations, is not just possible, but is inevitable.
- 19:15Speaker 5: This movement we have built the largest volunteer base in
- 19:18Speaker 5: the history of Maine politics. The hundreds of thousands of
- 19:22Speaker 5: grassroots donors and the supporters across the ideological spectrum. We
- 19:27Speaker 5: were united in a love of Maine, a belief that
- 19:30Speaker 5: our politics must change, in a focus on defeating Susan Collins.
- 19:35Speaker 5: So regardless of the inaccuracy of the reporting, but mindful
- 19:39Speaker 5: the political reality it will inflict, we are taking the
- 19:42Speaker 5: time to reflect on the best path forward for the
- 19:45Speaker 5: state that I love, the people that I love, the
- 19:48Speaker 5: movement I belong to, and the goal of defeating Susan Collins.
- 19:52Speaker 5: Those were the goals and we launched this campaign, and
- 19:55Speaker 5: they remain my goals today. On June ninth, one hundred
- 20:00Speaker 5: and fifty four thousand and fifty eight manors, the most
- 20:03Speaker 5: in primary history, voted to reject a broken politics, beholden
- 20:08Speaker 5: to Washington and the donor class. They voted for hope,
- 20:13Speaker 5: for change, to take back our economy, to take back
- 20:17Speaker 5: our power and to take back our Senate seat. Throughout
- 20:21Speaker 5: it all, you never turned your back on me, and
- 20:24Speaker 5: I will not turn my back on you now. Every
- 20:27Speaker 5: one of you deserves to see that vision. Come to
- 20:29Speaker 5: Fruition and see Susan Collins defeated, and we will use
- 20:33Speaker 5: every tool at our disposal to do so. As man goes,
- 20:37Speaker 5: so goes the nation. As always, Thank.
- 20:41Speaker 1: You you betcha. We're taking the time to reflect. Ha
- 20:46Speaker 1: You'll be gone by the end of the week. Welcome
- 20:49Speaker 1: back in America. I'm Hugh Ewett joined my United States
- 20:51Speaker 1: Senator Tom Cotton, who represents Arkansas. Senator Cotton, I hope
- 20:55Speaker 1: you had a great semi says, couldn't centennial? Did I
- 20:57Speaker 1: say that right now? I hope you had a good one.
- 21:01Speaker 8: Happy to fifty if you I'll put it in all
- 21:03Speaker 8: the f all terms.
- 21:04Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 21:05Speaker 8: We had a great time down here celebrating the fourth
- 21:07Speaker 8: of July, the rare occasion when it's cooler in Arkansas
- 21:11Speaker 8: and it's cooler in Washington this time of the year.
- 21:14Speaker 8: It was a great celebration. Our Kansas are very grateful
- 21:17Speaker 8: to live in our wonderful nation, to live with the
- 21:20Speaker 8: legacy that was bequeathed to us by the founding fathers,
- 21:23Speaker 8: and we want to hand down to the next generation
- 21:25Speaker 8: of our Kansas.
- 21:27Speaker 1: Well, it was a bad weekend, it turned out for
- 21:29Speaker 1: communists running in Maine. Graham Platner just put out a
- 21:32Speaker 1: video saying he's taking a week to reflect on his
- 21:35Speaker 1: situation after another rape allegation has been launched against him.
- 21:40Speaker 1: I mean, I'm of the divided mind here. What as
- 21:43Speaker 1: a Republican, what do you want him to do?
- 21:48Speaker 5: Well?
- 21:48Speaker 8: Do these allegations are very serious, obviously, but let's not
- 21:54Speaker 8: hit ourselves about what's happening here. The Democrats were willing
- 21:58Speaker 8: to overlook other past misconduct, not mere allegations, but misconduct
- 22:03Speaker 8: that he had confirmed because they agreed with his socialist,
- 22:09Speaker 8: anti Semitic, anti American views. Those were a feature, not
- 22:12Speaker 8: a bug, Hugh. His chief sin at this point is
- 22:18Speaker 8: not those views, or his misconduct or new allegations. His
- 22:20Speaker 8: chief sin, in the eyes of the Democrats is that
- 22:23Speaker 8: he's losing to Susan Collins, and they're afraid that it's
- 22:26Speaker 8: only going to get worse. So he may drop out
- 22:30Speaker 8: to you in the next week before the main deadline,
- 22:32Speaker 8: and they'll replace him with some retread Democratic loser, and
- 22:36Speaker 8: that Democrat may not have a Nazi tattoo and may
- 22:39Speaker 8: not abused women. That Democrat will share his radical left
- 22:43Speaker 8: wing agenda, and that's why Susan Collins will beat whoever
- 22:46Speaker 8: it is they put up.
- 22:47Speaker 1: Do you think they're going to try and get Jared
- 22:50Speaker 1: Golden to come out of retirement because he won three
- 22:53Speaker 1: times in the second district the Maine any of a
- 22:56Speaker 1: vet like you are, and he's not combat like you did,
- 22:59Speaker 1: and not crazy, but he's also not DSA. I also
- 23:03Speaker 1: don't begin any money.
- 23:06Speaker 8: Yeah, Hugh, I mean, I don't know what the Democrats
- 23:09Speaker 8: are going to try to do here other than obviously
- 23:12Speaker 8: jettison a clear losing candidate like they did Bob Torricelli
- 23:16Speaker 8: back twenty four years ago, and replacing him with someone
- 23:20Speaker 8: who can win. For Jared Golden, one, I know that
- 23:24Speaker 8: he and Susan Collins were personally close and had a
- 23:27Speaker 8: positive work in relationship. He may have even worked for
- 23:30Speaker 8: her at one point, and I believe he said in
- 23:33Speaker 8: the pass he wouldn't run against her. But second, more
- 23:35Speaker 8: importantly is as you say to you, that Jared Golden
- 23:38Speaker 8: just does not touch what animates and motivates and excites
- 23:43Speaker 8: the Democratic base and increasingly the Democratic establishment these days.
- 23:48Speaker 8: So I think if Chuck Schumer and the Democratic establishment
- 23:52Speaker 8: tried to install Jared Golden, they're frankly, someone like Jared
- 23:55Speaker 8: Golden in that position, it would probably ignite a civil
- 24:00Speaker 8: war within the Democratic Party. So again, I expect they'll
- 24:03Speaker 8: get some retread loser who's Susan Collins, is beaten in
- 24:06Speaker 8: the past, or who couldn't win higher office, but is
- 24:10Speaker 8: willing to cow tell to the radical left because that
- 24:13Speaker 8: is what animates and motivates and drives their party, the
- 24:16Speaker 8: Bernie Sanders, Zora Mamdani wing of the party.
- 24:19Speaker 1: Now you've got John Ossoff and Shared Brown who are
- 24:22Speaker 1: hard left people, and Shared Brown is looking a little
- 24:25Speaker 1: long of the tooth in some of the videos I've
- 24:27Speaker 1: seen coming out of Ohio. I think he might have
- 24:28Speaker 1: a Joe Biden problem. But you've also got Al Sayed,
- 24:32Speaker 1: one of the Democrats dropped out up there. You've got
- 24:35Speaker 1: Flann again up in Minnesota there, and then you've got
- 24:37Speaker 1: a half dozen Democratic nominees who are not yet congressmen,
- 24:42Speaker 1: who are to the left of Rashida to leave in
- 24:44Speaker 1: AOC what's happening to their party?
- 24:49Speaker 8: Well, Hugh, the radical left has taken over the Democratic Party.
- 24:52Speaker 8: These are these are not mere liberal These are not
- 24:54Speaker 8: people who just want to raise your taxes a little
- 24:56Speaker 8: bit more or you know, implement more gun control laws.
- 25:01Speaker 8: These are open and avowed socialist communists. Really, And I
- 25:05Speaker 8: hear some people say, some Democrats and some reporters that
- 25:09Speaker 8: I repeat myself trying to excuse these victories in places
- 25:13Speaker 8: like New Jersey and New York and Denver. Well, those
- 25:16Speaker 8: are deep blue districts. They're like B plus seventy only
- 25:21Speaker 8: far left wingers. Are we going to win the primaries there?
- 25:24Speaker 8: Don't believe that. You look at what happened, has happened,
- 25:27Speaker 8: or is happening in their statewide primaries. Graham Plattner was
- 25:31Speaker 8: so strongly appealed to the primary electric in Maine that
- 25:36Speaker 8: he drove a sitting governor out of the primary before
- 25:39Speaker 8: it even happened. As you mentioned, in Michigan, abdiel elsa
- 25:42Speaker 8: ed who's been endorsed by Bernie Sanders, has a strong
- 25:45Speaker 8: lead in the polls. You see the same thing happening
- 25:48Speaker 8: in the Wisconsin governor's race and the Minnesota Senate race.
- 25:51Speaker 8: So it's not just you know, far left wing and
- 25:54Speaker 8: Russian districts. This is happening statewide in states that are
- 25:58Speaker 8: not deep blue, that frankly kind of swing states in
- 26:01Speaker 8: many cases like Maine, like Michigan, like Wisconsin. This is
- 26:05Speaker 8: a takeover of the Democratic Party by the radical left,
- 26:08Speaker 8: by socialists and communists, and supposed moderates are simply standing
- 26:13Speaker 8: by and letting it happen or facilitating it. And don't
- 26:16Speaker 8: believe that, Hugh, that it's like, oh, this is just happening.
- 26:19Speaker 5: Now.
- 26:19Speaker 8: Remember, back in the early days of her time in Congress,
- 26:23Speaker 8: elon Omar said some one of her many anti Semitic things,
- 26:27Speaker 8: and Nancy Pelosi, the warhorse of the Democratic Party, couldn't
- 26:32Speaker 8: even bring herself to introduce the resolution to condemn it.
- 26:35Speaker 8: She watered it down to something like all forms of
- 26:37Speaker 8: paid or whatever.
- 26:40Speaker 1: She I agree, it's a feature now, it's not a bug.
- 26:44Speaker 1: I do want to play for you. President Trump in
- 26:45Speaker 1: the Oval Office this afternoon, talking about the negotiations with Iran,
- 26:49Speaker 1: cut number nineteen percentat of cotton. Look, we're going to
- 26:52Speaker 1: win one way or the other.
- 26:54Speaker 2: We are you going to make a deal. We're going
- 26:55Speaker 2: to finish the job, okay, and it won't be tough
- 26:58Speaker 2: to finish the job. I'd rather make a deal because
- 27:02Speaker 2: I don't want to affect ninety one million people. We
- 27:05Speaker 2: can knock down their bridges in one hour. We can
- 27:08Speaker 2: knock out their energy supply, all of those big plants
- 27:12Speaker 2: that they built, big beautiful modern plants. They had a
- 27:15Speaker 2: lot of money. They don't have any money now. We
- 27:18Speaker 2: haven't given them any money. But we can knock out
- 27:21Speaker 2: there electricity and power generating plants. And I would say
- 27:27Speaker 2: a small part of an afternoon, every plan was better.
- 27:30Speaker 1: Cotton oils at sixty eight dollars and sixty eight cents.
- 27:33Speaker 1: It dropped today. There Apparently the markets don't believe we're
- 27:37Speaker 1: on the verge of going back to where they're own.
- 27:38Speaker 1: But a million people were in the streets for the
- 27:40Speaker 1: Hamani funeral and they were chowing death to America, debt
- 27:43Speaker 1: to Trump, death Israel. Can we really negotiate with these people?
- 27:49Speaker 8: I personally am very skeptical that Iran's leaders are ever
- 27:52Speaker 8: going to make a deal. More so than ever, they're
- 27:55Speaker 8: no longer cloaked in at least the false mantle of
- 27:58Speaker 8: religious legitimacy the way they were until we killed the
- 28:02Speaker 8: Supreme leader back in March. Now they're just anti American revolutionaries,
- 28:07Speaker 8: pure and simple. The Revolutionary Guard Coore say, is it
- 28:09Speaker 8: right there in the name. But we have weakened them
- 28:13Speaker 8: worse than they've ever been weekend since nineteen seventy nine,
- 28:17Speaker 8: between killing Possum Sulimani and twenty twenty, whom they've never replaced,
- 28:22Speaker 8: and Midnight Hammer, which destored their nuclear facilities last summer,
- 28:25Speaker 8: and now Epic Fury, which severely degraded most of their
- 28:28Speaker 8: military power. Ran is less threatening that ever has been.
- 28:32Speaker 8: It's still a threatening though few. And that's what the president.
- 28:34Speaker 8: The point the President is making is that he's not
- 28:36Speaker 8: going to make a bad and final deal with Iran,
- 28:39Speaker 8: no matter what you think of the interim ceasefire, to
- 28:43Speaker 8: allow for the negotiations that would allow, for instance, to
- 28:46Speaker 8: run to reconstitute this nuclear program, allow Ron to claim
- 28:50Speaker 8: control over the straight or four moves. That's one of
- 28:53Speaker 8: the things that Donald Trump has been most consistent about,
- 28:55Speaker 8: not just since he's been president, but in his public
- 28:58Speaker 8: life going back forty years, is about the minutes that
- 29:00Speaker 8: are on poses to our nation.
- 29:02Speaker 1: I think that's going away, and we'll keep checking in
- 29:04Speaker 1: with you on that and enjoy the rest of the
- 29:07Speaker 1: July fourth break Center. Thank you for taking time to
- 29:09Speaker 1: talk with us about Graham, Flattener and Iran. I appreciate
- 29:12Speaker 1: that very much. Don't go anywhere, America. I'll be right
- 29:14Speaker 1: back on think you hew It. Welcome back in America.
- 29:17Speaker 1: I'm Hugh Hewett, joined by America's Calmist, Selena Zito, President
- 29:21Speaker 1: Trump's favorite calmnist. I'm not sure where she spent the
- 29:24Speaker 1: two hundred and fiftieth Selena, welcome. How did your semi
- 29:28Speaker 1: Sisquintennial go?
- 29:30Speaker 4: It was awesome.
- 29:31Speaker 9: I spent it with my family. There is a farm
- 29:34Speaker 9: a couple houses up for me. We had big old
- 29:38Speaker 9: fireworks cookout.
- 29:40Speaker 10: Ah.
- 29:40Speaker 9: There were probably like forty kids from the neighborhood there.
- 29:44Speaker 4: They all saying.
- 29:45Speaker 9: Happy we have a cake for the president and I
- 29:47Speaker 9: mean for the country. Were saying happy Birthday to America.
- 29:52Speaker 9: And it was a blast.
- 29:55Speaker 4: It was absolutely everything that you would have wanted to be.
- 29:59Speaker 1: Did you have fireworks galore? Even though they're illegal in
- 30:02Speaker 1: most parts of the country that I live in?
- 30:06Speaker 4: Oh?
- 30:06Speaker 9: Well, yeah, no, I mean I'm I'm in Pennsylvania.
- 30:09Speaker 4: We're a bunch of hillbillies. We have fireworks everywhere.
- 30:14Speaker 7: And it was great.
- 30:17Speaker 1: Okay, tell people how the Pennsylvania exhibit turned out. Because
- 30:21Speaker 1: you were thrown together with duct tape and yarn and
- 30:25Speaker 1: a little bit of Scotch tape and some plastic straws.
- 30:28Speaker 1: You got a boot together, didn't you. Down on the mall.
- 30:31Speaker 9: It was really remarkable what happened while Senators Fetterman and
- 30:37Speaker 9: McCormick really came together and said.
- 30:41Speaker 4: We've got to fix this, I think, and so the
- 30:44Speaker 4: Chamber of Commerce.
- 30:46Speaker 9: But but what was but what is the really remarkable
- 30:49Speaker 9: story of that moment is.
- 30:51Speaker 4: What the people in the state did.
- 30:54Speaker 9: They came down by the hundreds to volunteer to man it.
- 30:58Speaker 4: The small businesses across the state.
- 31:01Speaker 9: Not her sees, by the way, but small businesses across
- 31:06Speaker 9: the state donated everything. US Deal donated this super cold
- 31:10Speaker 9: penny presser. US Pretzels had their pretzels and potato chips.
- 31:16Speaker 3: There.
- 31:17Speaker 4: There was candy from.
- 31:18Speaker 9: Smaller manufacturers and it was really remarkable to see how
- 31:23Speaker 9: people stepped up. And I think that's the really important
- 31:27Speaker 9: story because they.
- 31:28Speaker 4: Thought this was not a moment for this state to
- 31:31Speaker 4: be absent.
- 31:34Speaker 1: John Fetnerman put on a suit and a tie. I
- 31:36Speaker 1: saw that picture. Yeah, okay, he's totally committed that when
- 31:41Speaker 1: he puts on a certain time. Did you talk to
- 31:43Speaker 1: him about that decision, because that's unusual.
- 31:46Speaker 9: Oh yeah, Well, you know, I don't think people realize this.
- 31:49Speaker 9: If anybody knows the history of George Washington and western Pennsylvania.
- 31:54Speaker 9: By the way, I highly recommend you go see young Washington.
- 31:58Speaker 4: I know you probably didn't like half it was in Pennsylvania.
- 32:01Speaker 9: But you know she lives right where Braddock fell, right
- 32:08Speaker 9: where Braddock was mortally wounded.
- 32:11Speaker 4: So he is all in on this two point fifty.
- 32:15Speaker 1: Now Braddock, we got to inform the Steelers fans. That's
- 32:19Speaker 1: the British general that George Washington served under in the
- 32:22Speaker 1: French and Indian War. So Bradick got killed. What was
- 32:25Speaker 1: the name of the fort I can't remember. It's like
- 32:28Speaker 1: it's loosely based on Lasla Mohicans.
- 32:32Speaker 9: Yeah, General Braddock fell, I mean George Washington.
- 32:37Speaker 4: He had been a surveyor for a long time.
- 32:39Speaker 9: He understood the guerrilla warfare of the Native Indians.
- 32:43Speaker 4: Braddick did not.
- 32:44Speaker 9: He made his troops go in a long line and
- 32:47Speaker 9: with great red coats on. Remember this is part of
- 32:50Speaker 9: the Virginia Militia serving under the Crown and Washington Warrenedham.
- 32:56Speaker 9: Of course, Braddock looked down his nose at him and
- 32:58Speaker 9: said he had knew nothing of what he was talking about,
- 33:02Speaker 9: and they were just massacred right there where us steel
- 33:07Speaker 9: is sitting today.
- 33:09Speaker 1: So, Selena, I want to switch topics on you. It's
- 33:11Speaker 1: been one year, though it's hard to believe since your
- 33:14Speaker 1: book Butler came out, which was a number one bestseller
- 33:17Speaker 1: on the New York Times list, And I'm curious, how
- 33:19Speaker 1: is having a bestseller changed your life?
- 33:25Speaker 3: Oh?
- 33:25Speaker 4: Pretty much.
- 33:26Speaker 9: Doesn't change my life other than maybe I'm writing more.
- 33:30Speaker 9: In fact, I'm working on the next book. It's going
- 33:32Speaker 9: to be called The United States of Appalachia, and I'm
- 33:36Speaker 9: super excited about it.
- 33:39Speaker 4: But it didn't really change my life much at all.
- 33:42Speaker 9: I mean, maybe more people recognize me, But honestly, people
- 33:49Speaker 9: have been very generous, even people from all different political strikes,
- 33:53Speaker 9: really appreciated the understanding of how place mattered in politics,
- 34:00Speaker 9: which is beyond the story of what happened that day Butler.
- 34:03Speaker 9: Although that is the reason that President Trump chose Butler
- 34:07Speaker 9: is the only He and John F. Kennedy are the
- 34:11Speaker 9: only true presidents that ever campaigned in Butler.
- 34:15Speaker 4: No one else ever has.
- 34:17Speaker 1: I I have a question about I have a question
- 34:20Speaker 1: about the United States of Appalachia. The Appalachian diaspora includes
- 34:26Speaker 1: the Mahoning Valley. You know, Vice President Vance's family came
- 34:30Speaker 1: from Appalachia up to Middleton, Ohio to work in the mills.
- 34:34Speaker 1: A lot of people went up to the Mahoning Valley.
- 34:36Speaker 1: Do you include the mo Owning Valley in your Appalachian story, Yeah,
- 34:43Speaker 1: it was just.
- 34:43Speaker 4: There four days ago. That's a very important part of Appalachia.
- 34:47Speaker 4: A lot of.
- 34:47Speaker 9: People traveled up from the South into the deeper part
- 34:52Speaker 9: of Appalachia and came to places like Youngstown and Warren
- 34:57Speaker 9: and Pittsburgh and Morgan Town to work in the mills
- 35:01Speaker 9: and to work in the cool and you know these
- 35:04Speaker 9: are this is the Appalachia is truly the story of America.
- 35:09Speaker 9: The people, most presidents have roots in Appalachia, and most
- 35:13Speaker 9: people don't don't know that.
- 35:15Speaker 4: But even when you hear the song Country.
- 35:17Speaker 9: Roads, even if you have never even been to Appalachia,
- 35:22Speaker 9: it really brings out this very American feeling of being
- 35:27Speaker 9: home of place.
- 35:29Speaker 4: And that is what Appalachia does.
- 35:31Speaker 9: It's the oldest mountain range in the world.
- 35:35Speaker 4: That's how that's how old Appalachia is.
- 35:38Speaker 1: What do we base that on? That sounds like a
- 35:40Speaker 1: stealer's claim. Are the greatest quarterback in history? Being treat
- 35:44Speaker 1: What do we base that on? Where'd you get that
- 35:46Speaker 1: from the Pennsylvania Encyclopedia.
- 35:50Speaker 4: No, that's a fact.
- 35:54Speaker 9: It's sort of a tie between Appalachia Mountains and the
- 35:57Speaker 9: Himalayan Mountains.
- 35:59Speaker 4: But you know, I'm going I'm being a homegirl.
- 36:01Speaker 7: Right, But.
- 36:04Speaker 1: Do they teach Pennsylvania history in fourth grade like they
- 36:08Speaker 1: teach Ohio history and fourth grade?
- 36:11Speaker 3: Oh?
- 36:12Speaker 4: Yeah, I have a PhD in the in the French
- 36:14Speaker 4: and Indian War. I just want you to know.
- 36:16Speaker 1: That, Okay, I just I just want I just want
- 36:22Speaker 1: the United States of Appalachia to turn into the Pittsburgh
- 36:26Speaker 1: fourth grade textbook of Pennsylvania history because we know that
- 36:30Speaker 1: how far south by the way does Appalachia go? Do
- 36:32Speaker 1: you count Georgia.
- 36:33Speaker 9: Four story too County from New York County Georgia.
- 36:39Speaker 1: But it's got Ohio in it.
- 36:41Speaker 4: Oh, it's definitely go to Lato, Ohio.
- 36:44Speaker 1: All Right, that's all I care about. We'll help sell that.
- 36:46Speaker 1: But happy two hundred and fiftieth later. Back to work
- 36:51Speaker 1: next week. We're I haven't found this week. Back to
- 36:53Speaker 1: work next week. Don't go anywhere in America. On the
- 36:55Speaker 1: Supreme Court review and more coming up on the UK
- 36:58Speaker 1: IT show Right to America Welcome has promised. Our three
- 37:01Speaker 1: today is devoted to the United States Supreme Court having
- 37:04Speaker 1: just wrapped up their term. Right before we begin to
- 37:07Speaker 1: celebrate our semi tesquinteddial, I thought it would be time
- 37:10Speaker 1: to introduce you to the next gen smart guys, and
- 37:13Speaker 1: they are Professor Josh Blackman. Professor Blackman teaches at South
- 37:17Speaker 1: Texas School of Law. He is the author of I
- 37:20Speaker 1: Think the Best Case Book, along with Randy Barnett on
- 37:23Speaker 1: con law cases and materials. He clerked on the Sixth Circuit.
- 37:26Speaker 1: He also clerked on the United States District Court. And
- 37:29Speaker 1: James Phillips, former colleague of mine at Chapman University Law
- 37:32Speaker 1: School Foller School of Law, about to join the St.
- 37:36Speaker 1: Thomas School of Law. He clerked on the DC Circuit
- 37:39Speaker 1: and on the Utah Supreme Court. They both know what
- 37:42Speaker 1: they're doing when it comes to con law, so I
- 37:44Speaker 1: thought I would ask them in to sort of review
- 37:46Speaker 1: where we are and where we're going. Josh, I'm going
- 37:49Speaker 1: to go to you first. You guys are both considerably
- 37:51Speaker 1: younger than I am. But how did you view the
- 37:54Speaker 1: term that just concluded, and how do you view the
- 37:56Speaker 1: prospects for the next two undred and fifty years of
- 37:58Speaker 1: court decisions?
- 38:01Speaker 3: Well, Hugh, thanks for having me. Also, my good friend
- 38:03Speaker 3: James is always good to see as well. This was
- 38:06Speaker 3: a remarkable term. Barely a decade ago, June would be
- 38:10Speaker 3: a very sad month for Conservatives, just as Kenny would
- 38:14Speaker 3: isach you one decision after another that would make it sad.
- 38:17Speaker 3: This year, there were really not many downpoints, and even
- 38:21Speaker 3: where Trump lost, it was a lot closer than one
- 38:24Speaker 3: might have expected, for example, birthright citizenship. So it was
- 38:27Speaker 3: actually a pretty strong court term for the Conservatives. Chief
- 38:31Speaker 3: Justice Roberts is still in charge. He basically does whatever
- 38:34Speaker 3: he wants. He's always in the majority in every case
- 38:36Speaker 3: that matters. He brings along the three liberals whenever they need,
- 38:39Speaker 3: and he finds either Justice Barrett or just Cavna at
- 38:42Speaker 3: the fright a fifth vote. So really it's John Roberts's
- 38:45Speaker 3: court and we're just sort of living in it.
- 38:47Speaker 1: Well, but Jane Phillips, what's say you, my friend.
- 38:52Speaker 10: Well, I mean, I think this term reinforced that we
- 38:55Speaker 10: live in a world of judicial supremacy where this is
- 39:00Speaker 10: not the way this was initially designed. We did not
- 39:03Speaker 10: have a strong Supreme Court in the early parts of
- 39:05Speaker 10: this of the history, but for various reasons such as
- 39:09Speaker 10: Congress not being able to do things, and you know,
- 39:13Speaker 10: some case law that came out of the nineteen fifties,
- 39:16Speaker 10: like Aaron v. Cooper, we have a Supreme Court that
- 39:20Speaker 10: decides all of the important issues and really has become
- 39:24Speaker 10: the most powerful branch in many ways, and I don't
- 39:28Speaker 10: see that changing.
- 39:29Speaker 7: In the near future.
- 39:30Speaker 10: Whether that'll be the case two hundred and fifty years
- 39:31Speaker 10: from now, I can't say, but that's where we're in
- 39:33Speaker 10: the midst of now.
- 39:35Speaker 1: So I'm about ready to finish a column for Fox
- 39:38Speaker 1: News tomorrow which I'm going to say, this is not
- 39:41Speaker 1: really that radical of a court, no matter what legacy
- 39:44Speaker 1: media tells you. And I'm relying on Scotus Blog for
- 39:47Speaker 1: these stats. I'll read them to you. By several measures,
- 39:51Speaker 1: this term was more idiologically divided than the last one.
- 39:54Speaker 1: Last term, fifteen point two percent of the Court's decisions
- 39:57Speaker 1: were decided by a six' to three, vote and nine
- 40:00Speaker 1: percent of all decisions were six to three ideological. Splits this,
- 40:05Speaker 1: term those figures rose significantly to twenty eight point eight
- 40:08Speaker 1: percent and twenty two point seven. Percent so let's focus
- 40:13Speaker 1: on the eight percent and the twenty two point seven.
- 40:15Speaker 1: Percent that's still only one fifth of the, Cases, james
- 40:19Speaker 1: that really divide out ideologically six' three with the originalists
- 40:25Speaker 1: loosely defined versus. The liberals is that an ideologically divided?
- 40:29Speaker 1: Course court or is that one that generally goes along
- 40:32Speaker 1: and gets along With the Court's gradual constitution's gradual evolution.
- 40:36Speaker 1: AND development.
- 40:38Speaker 7: I think the majority of the time this is not an.
- 40:40Speaker 10: Ideological COURT if i Recall those scotas blog stats showed
- 40:44Speaker 10: that forty four percent of the cases.
- 40:46Speaker 7: Were unanimous and, so again if you're talking.
- 40:49Speaker 10: A quarter of the time where you're getting an, ideological
- 40:53Speaker 10: split that means three cords of, the time it's. Not so,
- 40:57Speaker 10: of course you're going to have some ideological splits from
- 41:00Speaker 10: time to time because these justices see the, world differently
- 41:03Speaker 10: and they were put on the court because they see
- 41:05Speaker 10: the world in the. Law DIFFERENTLY but i don't see
- 41:09Speaker 10: this as a, super conservative.
- 41:11Speaker 7: Ideological court it's just it's shifted from where we've been in.
- 41:16Speaker 10: The past and so, you know if you use the
- 41:18Speaker 10: baseline of Say The warren court or some of the,
- 41:20Speaker 10: other courts sure it's moved further to. The right but
- 41:24Speaker 10: again those stats don't bear out an.
- 41:26Speaker 1: Ideological Court Professor, josh blackman you've been doing the casebook
- 41:30Speaker 1: for a long Time With. Randy barnett what do you
- 41:32Speaker 1: think about the court's general reputation overstated as ideological or understated.
- 41:37Speaker 1: IS ideological i.
- 41:39Speaker 3: Think liberals should bless their Stars that Trump Picked, Brick Kavanaugh,
- 41:44Speaker 3: Amy coney Barrett And. Neil gorsich these are not. Three
- 41:48Speaker 3: ideologicals they're not even that conservative in. All regards in any,
- 41:52Speaker 3: given Case a chief justine pick up one of them
- 41:54Speaker 3: to make a majority of the. Court's liberals it's truly
- 41:58Speaker 3: they should. Be thankful if you want to see, the
- 42:01Speaker 3: reflection look how Often The fifth CIRCUIT where, i Live
- 42:04Speaker 3: the Court's. In texas how off In The fifth circuit
- 42:06Speaker 3: gets reversed on mail, in ballots, on immigration. On guns
- 42:10Speaker 3: it's consistent That The fifth circuit is the right Of The.
- 42:13Speaker 3: Supreme court trump could have pick any Of these texas
- 42:16Speaker 3: judges Of The supreme court and said he picked Someone,
- 42:18Speaker 3: from indiana Some, from colorado and Someone.
- 42:21Speaker 1: From, Maryland, SO josh i also like to put it.
- 42:25Speaker 1: This way you have to revise your casebook every now.
- 42:28Speaker 1: And then how often has this court obliged you to
- 42:31Speaker 1: add or subtract cases and change entire sections of the?
- 42:35Speaker 3: Case, Book, oh hugh this hears. Me Big randy BURNETT
- 42:40Speaker 3: and i are actually working. RIGHT now i talk about
- 42:43Speaker 3: it for an, hour ago about how to rework our.
- 42:46Speaker 3: Entire book this is a biggie birthright citizenship is a
- 42:50Speaker 3: big deal for what we know about The. Fourteenth amendment
- 42:54Speaker 3: there's a Case called slaughter where the court overruled a
- 42:57Speaker 3: ninety year old present it who the president. Could fire
- 43:00Speaker 3: we have big cases, on guns we have big cases on.
- 43:02Speaker 3: Transgender rights there's a lot. Of changes and this book
- 43:06Speaker 3: will be Out, in DECEMBER and i hope you since will.
- 43:08Speaker 1: Enjoy, it oh, very WILL because i enjoy, your book
- 43:11Speaker 1: and You and randy make it accessible in a way
- 43:14Speaker 1: that very few comm law. Professors, do james are you
- 43:17Speaker 1: working on a casebook because you? OUGHT to, i mean
- 43:20Speaker 1: we need at least two original casebooks. Out there so
- 43:22Speaker 1: are you working. On one.
- 43:25Speaker 7: I'm working on, a book but not.
- 43:26Speaker 3: A casebook, so.
- 43:28Speaker 1: Okay so let me begin with my asking YOU before
- 43:31Speaker 1: i set UP what i want to. Talk about what
- 43:34Speaker 1: do you think is the most significant ruling of the
- 43:36Speaker 1: twenty twenty five to twenty twenty six term and for
- 43:39Speaker 1: the benefit Of the. Steelers Fan the court begins its Year,
- 43:42Speaker 1: in october it ends it at the End. Of june
- 43:45Speaker 1: sometimes it Gets, into july but that's generally the Court
- 43:48Speaker 1: term October. To June, james phillips what do you think
- 43:51Speaker 1: is the most significant thing they did?
- 43:52Speaker 7: This, term well most?
- 43:55Speaker 10: Significantly Tough As yogi, berra said the making predictions is,
- 43:59Speaker 10: always difficult especially of. The, future right what's the impact
- 44:02Speaker 10: going to be down? The road, You know josh just
- 44:05Speaker 10: mentioned a couple. Of them i'm going to throw one
- 44:07Speaker 10: out that he, didn't mention And That's klay Louisiana.
- 44:11Speaker 7: Versus klay so do you want me to go into
- 44:14Speaker 7: this a little?
- 44:15Speaker 8: Bit?
- 44:15Speaker 10: Huge yeah so this involved The, fifteenth amendment, you know
- 44:22Speaker 10: prohibited discriminating on the basis of race or previous conditions
- 44:27Speaker 10: of servitude or color.
- 44:29Speaker 7: In voting and.
- 44:31Speaker 10: So the nineteen Sixty five congress Passed The Civil rights
- 44:34Speaker 10: act in trying to get rid of some of the
- 44:38Speaker 10: things that it, cropped up particularly In, the south that
- 44:41Speaker 10: were proxies for discrimination on the basis of race. And,
- 44:44Speaker 10: voting so because of this and the way it's been
- 44:47Speaker 10: interpreted for a, long time states have been required to
- 44:51Speaker 10: create what are called majority, minority districts so a majority
- 44:54Speaker 10: of the voters in the district are some kind of
- 44:56Speaker 10: racial or, ethnic minorities Such As african america Or. His
- 45:01Speaker 10: latinos And, in louisiana the district court ruled That the
- 45:06Speaker 10: louisiana needed to create a second one of these majority
- 45:09Speaker 10: minority districts that were a majority of.
- 45:10Speaker 7: Black, voters well this got brought up To.
- 45:14Speaker 10: The, supreme court And The supreme, court said, you know
- 45:16Speaker 10: when you really read, the statute and.
- 45:19Speaker 1: This isn't.
- 45:20Speaker 10: Really required there's a there's a very demanding test for
- 45:25Speaker 10: whether you can do something based.
- 45:26Speaker 7: On race it's called.
- 45:27Speaker 10: Strict scrutiny and one of the things that government has
- 45:31Speaker 10: to do to satisfy this is they have to have a.
- 45:32Speaker 10: Compelling interest And the, court said there isn't a compelling
- 45:36Speaker 10: interest here in creating these all minority districts unless you're
- 45:40Speaker 10: going to be rectifying. Immediate discrimination there is current racial
- 45:45Speaker 10: discrimination discrimination. Going on but if this is just about,
- 45:48Speaker 10: you know there was some discrimination in, the past or
- 45:51Speaker 10: there's some kind of, disparate impact then we're not.
- 45:55Speaker 7: Going to treat anybody any different than any. Other voter,
- 45:58Speaker 7: you know.
- 45:58Speaker 10: Voters all the time don't get to vote who they
- 46:01Speaker 10: want or get elect.
- 46:02Speaker 7: Who they want.
- 46:03Speaker 10: For office, you Know if republicans are in a strongly,
- 46:07Speaker 10: democratic district they're going to be able, to vote but
- 46:09Speaker 10: they're not going to get their. Preferred candidate So The
- 46:13Speaker 10: supreme court has basically said these are no, longer constitutional
- 46:17Speaker 10: these majority minority districts unless you're rectifying. Current discrimination and
- 46:21Speaker 10: there's about thirty to forty of these FROM what i,
- 46:23Speaker 10: can tell that were required Under The Voting. Rights act
- 46:27Speaker 10: so those are going to. Go away states are going
- 46:29Speaker 10: to redistrict and have, already started and that's going to
- 46:34Speaker 10: change probably the Composition, of congress given the facts that
- 46:38Speaker 10: race and political party are often, strongly correlated at least
- 46:42Speaker 10: with some.
- 46:43Speaker 7: Minority groups kolai an.
- 46:45Speaker 1: Enormous decision we got, One, minute josh what's your nomination
- 46:48Speaker 1: for the most significant decision of. The term and then
- 46:51Speaker 1: we'll got.
- 46:51Speaker 3: A break i think it's. Birthright citizenship trump came within
- 46:56Speaker 3: one vote of altering how every person born in this country,
- 47:02Speaker 3: gets CITIZENSHIP and i Agree With. JUSTICE thomas i Don't
- 47:06Speaker 3: Think john roberts's opinion be the final word in. This
- 47:08Speaker 3: matter so this is a huge opinion and sually tested
- 47:12Speaker 3: how this issue has been unsettled for more than one
- 47:14Speaker 3: hundred and. Fifty years and people who are, telling, you
- 47:16Speaker 3: well if you, believe this, you're racist Much like Kalay
- 47:19Speaker 3: with james just, mentioned right any opposition to birthright citizenships
- 47:22Speaker 3: because you're. A RACIST but i think there's some good
- 47:23Speaker 3: arguments on both sides Of just thomas.
- 47:25Speaker 1: Brought forward we're going to come back to birthright citizenship
- 47:28Speaker 1: right after the BREAK because i Thought The chief justice
- 47:32Speaker 1: opinion was, spot on and so we'll have a conversation.
- 47:35Speaker 1: About that justice satisfy the talk, right Now And Salem news,
- 47:38Speaker 1: channel audience don't Go. Anywhere america we'll be back With
- 47:41Speaker 1: The supreme court in review right. After this welcome Back.
- 47:48Speaker 1: To America I'm new hewitt With Professors josh Blackman And.
- 47:52Speaker 1: JAMES phillips i want to go right Back to Trump
- 47:56Speaker 1: versus barbara the birthright. Citizenship Case josh i in this Column,
- 48:02Speaker 1: FOR fox i point out twenty, years ago even ten,
- 48:05Speaker 1: years ago only in academia was this a topic, of
- 48:08Speaker 1: discussion whether or not a child born In The united
- 48:10Speaker 1: states with A citizen it was. Assumed Yes and i'm
- 48:14Speaker 1: a very common sense kind. Of guy text tradition, in
- 48:17Speaker 1: history the foundling at, the firehouse what's? Their citizenship all
- 48:21Speaker 1: the kind of stuff we've heard. WERE heard i just
- 48:24Speaker 1: don't see How the court could have come down any.
- 48:26Speaker 1: Other WAY and i want to suggest you that if
- 48:29Speaker 1: they didn't have the, five Votes Either justice Gorsic Or
- 48:34Speaker 1: justice kavanaugh would have come along to make sure this remained,
- 48:37Speaker 1: settled law because unsettling it would open up a volcano,
- 48:43Speaker 1: of issues. Wouldn't?
- 48:44Speaker 3: It, oh sure AND will i will confess. ERROR here
- 48:49Speaker 3: i wrote years ago that this was open and SHUT
- 48:52Speaker 3: and i didn't think it was any. Alternate ARGUMENT but
- 48:55Speaker 3: i say this as you're pretty carefully in the last
- 48:57Speaker 3: year and, a half and there's some actually good arts,
- 49:00Speaker 3: on frankly, both SIDES and I Think, justice gorzich who
- 49:04Speaker 3: was somewhat during the argument seeming to lean in favor of,
- 49:08Speaker 3: the challengers and, he flipped and Just as kavanaugh. Likewise
- 49:11Speaker 3: flipped so we can look at this as what will
- 49:15Speaker 3: cause the biggest destabilization of. The Country and i'm not
- 49:18Speaker 3: going to disagree. WITH you i think it would have
- 49:19Speaker 3: a significant impact on who is, a citizen how we
- 49:22Speaker 3: go back. Granted citizenship but you know other countries, do,
- 49:26Speaker 3: It Right most european nations figure it a way to
- 49:28Speaker 3: manage non birth. Right citizenship it's on the end of.
- 49:30Speaker 3: The world the bigger, ISSUE is, i know so the
- 49:34Speaker 3: legal arguments of how these arguments went from off the
- 49:36Speaker 3: wall to on, the wall so. To speak and THIS
- 49:39Speaker 3: is i think attestment To what trump. Has done he
- 49:41Speaker 3: is changed in national narrative on immigration in WAYS that
- 49:44Speaker 3: i DON'T think i could.
- 49:45Speaker 1: ANTICIPATE it i think, You're, right john and, IN fact
- 49:48Speaker 1: i do think the controversy around it reflects the open
- 49:51Speaker 1: border policy of the last four years and the controversy adjacent.
- 49:54Speaker 1: There too how, About, you james were you Surprised by
- 49:57Speaker 1: Trump the BARBARA because i wasn't accept for just It's
- 50:00Speaker 1: just kavanaugh's opinion And maybe. JUSTICE coursages i thought it
- 50:03Speaker 1: would be, seven TOO but i Didn't See justice kavanaugh
- 50:06Speaker 1: coming in from. Left field we all know the statute
- 50:08Speaker 1: says it's, that way but Not. The constitution.
- 50:12Speaker 10: So out of, oral argument it Looked like trump was going,
- 50:15Speaker 10: to lose And as, josh noted the vote was maybe
- 50:19Speaker 10: a bit closer than oral. Argument indicated it's not, You
- 50:23Speaker 10: Know justice kavanaugh tends, to write, you know these concurrences
- 50:27Speaker 10: or these descents where he tries to show another path or,
- 50:30Speaker 10: tries to, you know.
- 50:32Speaker 7: Argue that this case doesn't actually go.
- 50:34Speaker 10: This Far so i'm not surprised To See justice kavanaugh
- 50:37Speaker 10: writing that type, of concurrence and it's what he often likes.
- 50:41Speaker 10: To do but it, was close and, you know raises
- 50:47Speaker 10: the question of if we have personnel changes down the
- 50:50Speaker 10: road in, the court does this issue come? Back there,
- 50:54Speaker 10: you know there is there is evidence on. Both sides
- 50:57Speaker 10: whether it's equally weighted is. Enough question but it was
- 51:02Speaker 10: a very close case and it's not clear it'll.
- 51:05Speaker 7: Go away but you.
- 51:06Speaker 10: Never know sometimes the country moves on and the courts.
- 51:10Speaker 1: Move on but, we'll see, All Right, josh blackman let
- 51:13Speaker 1: me ask you about THE case i thought was, most
- 51:15Speaker 1: significant and not many people agree. With me It's The
- 51:18Speaker 1: National Republican senatorial committee decision VERSUS, the FEC which i
- 51:23Speaker 1: think empowers political parties to do what they, do best
- 51:26Speaker 1: which is pick saying people to be. In office what
- 51:28Speaker 1: do you think of? That, decision.
- 51:31Speaker 3: Well this is the case he goes back to the,
- 51:33Speaker 3: seventies appeared, you Know well Buckley. Versus, valo, yes right
- 51:37Speaker 3: this was a period of the court simply said we
- 51:39Speaker 3: can't have money. In politics we're going to stop the
- 51:42Speaker 3: political parties from raising all. This money but what that
- 51:45Speaker 3: did the president divertently was allowed these, outside groups these
- 51:48Speaker 3: packs and super packs. Of flourish where now it had
- 51:50Speaker 3: all these people giving, unrestricted money all the while, political PARTIES,
- 51:55Speaker 3: the Gp The democratic party could not coordinate with. The
- 51:58Speaker 3: Candidate The streme, court said, come on this makes no.
- 52:01Speaker 3: More sense we have assistants united in. Other cases if
- 52:04Speaker 3: all this might have flat, into politics why can't we
- 52:06Speaker 3: just submit The obvious let the party coordinate with. The,
- 52:09Speaker 3: candidate this, on Balance helps. REPUBLICANS more i THINK the
- 52:14Speaker 3: gop national raises a lot, of money even if we'd
- 52:16Speaker 3: have some pretty a. Lousy candidates now that perhaps lets
- 52:19Speaker 3: the party have more of an influence over which candidates.
- 52:21Speaker 3: Are selected this is a very, big decision and it
- 52:24Speaker 3: actually flip the outcome Races in george and. Other states
- 52:28Speaker 3: it's a Really Good first.
- 52:29Speaker 1: Amendment Ruling, and james what do you think ABOUT n RFC. Versus, FBC.
- 52:36Speaker 10: Well i think the consequences will hopefully be positive in
- 52:40Speaker 10: the sense that restrictions on campaign funding while coming from a,
- 52:46Speaker 10: good place they were worried about.
- 52:49Speaker 7: Bribery or are those kinds of.
- 52:51Speaker 10: Unew influences they've required Members of congress to spend so
- 52:56Speaker 10: much time fundraising that they have less time. For, governing
- 53:01Speaker 10: now there's other Reasons why congress, isn't governing, but honestly
- 53:04Speaker 10: one of them is they have to spend a lot
- 53:05Speaker 10: of time. Raising MONEY so i think anything that frees
- 53:10Speaker 10: up congressional time to spend a little bit less time
- 53:13Speaker 10: fundraising and allows them to get some outside help in
- 53:16Speaker 10: that capacity could at least theoretically free up more time
- 53:21Speaker 10: for actually doing the Job.
- 53:22Speaker 1: Of, congress okay unexpected effects. AS well I think republicans
- 53:26Speaker 1: were happy with the decision To in Trump be slaughter
- 53:30Speaker 1: and unhappy with the Decision in Trump, Be COOK and
- 53:33Speaker 1: i kind of thought you better be neutral on both
- 53:35Speaker 1: of these because these are two two, Bolated, ACCESS james
- 53:40Speaker 1: i think they cut both ways for. Both parties it
- 53:42Speaker 1: just strengthens, the presidency except with regards To The. Federal
- 53:46Speaker 1: reserve what did you make of these, Two, CASES.
- 53:50Speaker 10: Well i think you're right that it does affect, both
- 53:53Speaker 10: parties but it in some sense having a more, empowered
- 53:58Speaker 10: president kind of unitary executive theory that comes from the
- 54:03Speaker 10: vesting Clause of article two Probably helps republican presidents a
- 54:08Speaker 10: little bit More than democratic presidents in the sense of
- 54:12Speaker 10: government officials and bureaucrats tend to lean a little bit
- 54:18Speaker 10: to the left and so this there's maybe less of
- 54:21Speaker 10: a need to remove, folks sometimes, but yes it's going
- 54:24Speaker 10: to allow democratic presidents to remove folks. As well it, is,
- 54:27Speaker 10: Interesting Right so, slaughter basically, you know says that you can't.
- 54:33Speaker 7: Have four cause removal of an.
- 54:35Speaker 10: Executive officer the president has to exercise all power and
- 54:39Speaker 10: that means he has to be able to fire if.
- 54:42Speaker 7: Need me and then you have this carve Out.
- 54:43Speaker 10: And, cook Well the Federal the board Of, the government
- 54:47Speaker 10: board Of The federal reserve, is different and that's just
- 54:49Speaker 10: based off of, you know the history of the banks
- 54:51Speaker 10: Of The. United states so it's it's a little strange
- 54:56Speaker 10: you would you would think that they would go the same.
- 54:58Speaker 10: EITHER way i, you know there are prudential arguments for
- 55:02Speaker 10: having the board Of The federal reserve to be someone
- 55:05Speaker 10: independent from. The PRESIDENT but i agree presidents of either
- 55:10Speaker 10: side are going to be able to rely on this.
- 55:12Speaker 1: Going Forward And, josh blackman it must make the casebook easier.
- 55:16Speaker 1: Right now you don't have To explain humphrey that you
- 55:21Speaker 1: had To put cook in.
- 55:22Speaker 3: Its place, you know it's funny this case Is, about
- 55:27Speaker 3: trump but it's not since the nineteen twenties and nineteen
- 55:31Speaker 3: thirties are these vigorous debates about the present's power of.
- 55:34Speaker 3: Fire people humphrey's executives decided ninety something, years ago there
- 55:39Speaker 3: was a case During The new deal Which Said president
- 55:42Speaker 3: roselt cannot fire members Of The Federal. Trade commission and
- 55:45Speaker 3: for decades every president complained, About, This, Reagan, Bush, bush
- 55:51Speaker 3: trump and Then finally trump to put notes this something.
- 55:54Speaker 3: About it he came in the very first day that,
- 55:56Speaker 3: all right you are. All fired. Assume me and the
- 56:00Speaker 3: only way to get this Case To supreme court is
- 56:02Speaker 3: basy to fire someone to wait to. Be sued and
- 56:04Speaker 3: That's what trump is apparently good at and the court.
- 56:08Speaker 3: OVERALL slaughter I Give john roberts love. Criticism often this
- 56:11Speaker 3: is probably most important. Opinion ever this is a. Significant
- 56:15Speaker 3: ruling he clearly overrule the press of those nine, years

- 57:58Speaker 1: Back america it's this art segment that it's a. Big
- 58:01Speaker 1: case it's involving guns In A Why, Josh black might
- 58:04Speaker 1: you set it up for a bit more reminded what
- 58:05Speaker 1: it's about and what it portends for NEXT year's ar.
- 58:08Speaker 1: Fifteen case, if anything, All right.
- 58:11Speaker 3: So there Were two there were two gun cases this
- 58:13Speaker 3: year that were. Somewhat weird the first of all. Is
- 58:16Speaker 3: marijuana so believe it, OR not i know You're. In
- 58:18Speaker 3: california marijuana's so illegal on their federal law you would never.
- 58:21Speaker 3: Know it and the federal, law says if you're basically a,
- 58:24Speaker 3: drug addict you cannot possess. A firearm and this could
- 58:27Speaker 3: actually mean. ANY drug harmani was admitted to the police
- 58:31Speaker 3: that he used marijuana a couple times, a week and as,
- 58:35Speaker 3: a result he was charged as a felon and as
- 58:38Speaker 3: a disqualified person having. A firearm and this case went
- 58:42Speaker 3: To The supreme court and it was. Basically Unanimous The supreme,
- 58:45Speaker 3: court said there's really no tradition of taking guns away,
- 58:49Speaker 3: from drunkards people with too. Much alcohol there's no evidence
- 58:52Speaker 3: that he posed a threat to another and marijuana doesn't
- 58:55Speaker 3: really make people, THAT dangerous. I suppose and even though
- 58:59Speaker 3: it's silly illegal in their at, a law let's look
- 59:01Speaker 3: at the WORLD. Around us most states have legalized. Its
- 59:03Speaker 3: practice so there's no basis to take guns away from a. Marijuana,
- 59:07Speaker 3: user okay that's case. Number one casember two Is. From
- 59:10Speaker 3: HAWAII where i think My friend james finds. Himself. Today
- 59:13Speaker 3: hawaii this very strange rule that said, any business, a restaurant,
- 59:19Speaker 3: a store a, gas station whatever is presumptively off limits,
- 59:23Speaker 3: to firearms and you have to put a sign, saying
- 59:26Speaker 3: yes guns, Are, allowed yes bring your bring your concealed
- 59:29Speaker 3: carrier Licenses, in now, let's See, in hawaii no business
- 59:32Speaker 3: will do that because they don't. Like guns they. Hate
- 59:34Speaker 3: guns that's the low. Hot spirit they don't. Like firearms
- 59:36Speaker 3: it's part of their. Culture, there, apparently Uh The supreme, court,
- 59:41Speaker 3: said no go that you can't presumptively ban firearms throughout.
- 59:45Speaker 3: The state you have to be basically do what we Have,
- 59:47Speaker 3: in texas where you put a sign saying no guns.
- 59:49Speaker 3: Are allowed, that works but you can't just make. It
- 59:52Speaker 3: Presumptively not the upshot Is in hawaii you could not.
- 59:56Speaker 3: Carry anywhere you couldn't go from place to place with,
- 59:58Speaker 3: a gun and the concealed carrier license was. Basically pointless
- 1:00:01Speaker 3: these are two RULINGS now i mentioned. Next term this
- 1:00:03Speaker 3: is the. Big One the, court finally after, a decade
- 1:00:07Speaker 3: took a case involving air fifteen's most commonly held rifle
- 1:00:10Speaker 3: In the. United states many states banned them or they,
- 1:00:13Speaker 3: modify them Like, in california they have to be basically
- 1:00:15Speaker 3: disarmed and you have to take all the good. FEATURES
- 1:00:17Speaker 3: out i Think this pepoort, RULE here i think guns,
- 1:00:20Speaker 3: actually prevail and this could get People in California and
- 1:00:23Speaker 3: Maryland And new york the right to actually bear the
- 1:00:25Speaker 3: most commonly held rifle In The. United states.
- 1:00:27Speaker 1: That's it that's on next. Year's agenda but we're headed.
- 1:00:30Speaker 1: That Way. James phillips let's talk about the states and
- 1:00:33Speaker 1: boys playing in, girls' sports because big Win For west Virginia.
- 1:00:36Speaker 1: And idaho but it just is a win for the.
- 1:00:40Speaker 1: State's authority it doesn't really lay down a black letter
- 1:00:43Speaker 1: law about what's In. The constitution is? That, RIGHT.
- 1:00:48Speaker 10: Well i mean it was Reaching both title nine and
- 1:00:53Speaker 10: to a certain degree the equal, Production clause but, you're
- 1:00:55Speaker 10: right it was more of what is a louder or.
- 1:00:59Speaker 10: Not violated so what, happened was, you Know both Idaho
- 1:01:03Speaker 10: And west virginia said that biological males could not play
- 1:01:07Speaker 10: in biological females sports in high school and, middle school
- 1:01:13Speaker 10: and so a biological boy who identifies as a girl
- 1:01:17Speaker 10: and both instances challenged these laws and said that It violates,
- 1:01:22Speaker 10: title nine which says you cannot discriminate on the basis
- 1:01:24Speaker 10: of sex, in education and then it also Violated The,
- 1:01:29Speaker 10: establishment clause which has been read to understood to also
- 1:01:34Speaker 10: prohibit discrimination on the basis. Of, sex Well The supreme,
- 1:01:37Speaker 10: court Said actually title nine allows states to. Do this
- 1:01:42Speaker 10: they can absolutely have boys sports and. Girl sports, in
- 1:01:46Speaker 10: fact in order to really provide equal opportunities for, girls
- 1:01:50Speaker 10: athletics you're going to have to have a girls' only
- 1:01:53Speaker 10: sports for this. To work and Then The Equal protection
- 1:01:57Speaker 10: clause isn't violated also by biological only girls teams because
- 1:02:02Speaker 10: this either satisfies rational basis the lowest standard of scrutiny or.
- 1:02:05Speaker 10: Intermediate scrutiny, this, this uh there's. Good reasons there's, safety
- 1:02:11Speaker 10: reasons opportunity reasons to keep, biological boys even those who
- 1:02:16Speaker 10: have taken some kind of hormone treatment and suppressed there,
- 1:02:19Speaker 10: at testosterone there's still that's just too difficult. To manage
- 1:02:23Speaker 10: and there's there's good reasons. For, this now this still
- 1:02:26Speaker 10: raises the question of can states allow biological boys to
- 1:02:33Speaker 10: participate in. Girls' sports that wasn't decided by, The court
- 1:02:38Speaker 10: and of course there are many states that do, allow
- 1:02:40Speaker 10: this probably around HALF if i, understand correctly and so that's,
- 1:02:46Speaker 10: So yeah so that's same for another day of whether
- 1:02:49Speaker 10: that violates the law to.
- 1:02:51Speaker 3: Allow that, All.
- 1:02:52Speaker 1: Right so when we, come back we're going to get
- 1:02:54Speaker 1: into the immigration And then i'm going to ask them
- 1:02:57Speaker 1: both what. They think the court is already scheduled for
- 1:02:59Speaker 1: next that we'll be talking about this time. Next year
- 1:03:03Speaker 1: but we got to do about with tps' decision and
- 1:03:06Speaker 1: with the, asylum decision because a lot of eyes were on.
- 1:03:09Speaker 1: Those cases at least at the end of. The, year
- 1:03:11Speaker 1: again it wasn't really a great landmark year in con
- 1:03:16Speaker 1: law in, my view except for some sleeper decisions that
- 1:03:19Speaker 1: will be made manifest over Time. Like calay it might
- 1:03:22Speaker 1: in fact change the makeup Of the constitution Of the
- 1:03:24Speaker 1: congress in. Four years if you don't, Go, Anywhere america
- 1:03:27Speaker 1: i'll be Back With Professor josh Blackman From South texas
- 1:03:29Speaker 1: School of Law A Professor james Phillips. From St Thomas
- 1:03:33Speaker 1: university School of law right after this stay chair Broking.
- 1:03:41Speaker 1: Back america last Segment With josh Blackman And, james phillips
- 1:03:45Speaker 1: my new next gen and. Smart guys let me start,
- 1:03:48Speaker 1: With You. Josh blackman the immigration CASES are, tps temporary,
- 1:03:52Speaker 1: releading temporary and the asylum in order to claim it
- 1:03:56Speaker 1: you got to be In The, united states as opposed
- 1:03:58Speaker 1: to at. The border did either surprise you do either
- 1:04:00Speaker 1: poor tend anything down the road of significance for.
- 1:04:03Speaker 3: The country so there were two cases decided last term
- 1:04:06Speaker 3: by the Name. Of mullen mullins The new Secretary Of.
- 1:04:08Speaker 3: Homeland security the Verse Involves Temporary PROTECTED. Status tps this
- 1:04:13Speaker 3: is a Statute that congress passed in The hw. Bush
- 1:04:16Speaker 3: administration the idea was if there's some sort of natural
- 1:04:19Speaker 3: disaster or, humanitarian emergency led to people In The united
- 1:04:23Speaker 3: states temporarily for a period of at a year and,
- 1:04:25Speaker 3: a half and then when the emergency, is over they.
- 1:04:27Speaker 3: Go back this was not meant to be a, permanent
- 1:04:29Speaker 3: bridge assism ship or any sort of, permanent status but
- 1:04:32Speaker 3: it often happens when you create a government program that goes.
- 1:04:34Speaker 3: On forever and there have been a number of PEOPLE
- 1:04:37Speaker 3: on tps. For Decades, in haiti it was, AN earthquake
- 1:04:39Speaker 3: i think in twenty ten, or so and people been.
- 1:04:43Speaker 3: Here forever syria has been basically in a civil war
- 1:04:45Speaker 3: for my entire. Adult life there's always some reason for
- 1:04:48Speaker 3: them to keep renewing it and. Renewing it, TRUMP said
- 1:04:51Speaker 3: i am going to cancel this temper protected status and
- 1:04:53Speaker 3: make these people subject.
- 1:04:55Speaker 1: To.
- 1:04:55Speaker 3: Removal immediately courts, blocked it and, they said by, The,
- 1:04:59Speaker 3: way trum you being racist because you said mean Things. About
- 1:05:01Speaker 3: haiti you may meetings with. Black people we won't let
- 1:05:04Speaker 3: you engage in. This Racism The streme, court, said. No
- 1:05:07Speaker 3: go this is an area of the. President's discretion it's
- 1:05:10Speaker 3: not subject to juice. Or review the courts can't. Scrutinize,
- 1:05:14Speaker 3: it moreover you Have the Secretary Of parment security who
- 1:05:17Speaker 3: consulted with the, other departments maybe didn't listen, to them
- 1:05:19Speaker 3: but made their own decision and was able to. Cancel
- 1:05:22Speaker 3: it and the court also rejected this Idea of trump. Being.
- 1:05:25Speaker 3: Racist why, they said this is foreign policy and the
- 1:05:29Speaker 3: Facts in haiti, are serious and it's the reason why
- 1:05:31Speaker 3: the president may not want people from this country. Coming
- 1:05:33Speaker 3: here Same. For syria the second case is kind. Of
- 1:05:37Speaker 3: quirky it's not About, the constitution it's about, the statute
- 1:05:40Speaker 3: and it said if a person arrived In The, united
- 1:05:42Speaker 3: states they can. Seek, asylum okay well Arrives The, united
- 1:05:46Speaker 3: states seems to me In The. United states the descent,
- 1:05:49Speaker 3: said no that actually means standing On the mexico side
- 1:05:52Speaker 3: Of The. Rio grande that means you're action In The.
- 1:05:54Speaker 3: United states but the upshot here is that people can't
- 1:05:57Speaker 3: Leave from Guatemala and Honduras near garagua at The next
- 1:06:00Speaker 3: so it's hoping to cross the border and make up a.
- 1:06:02Speaker 3: Storymentit asylum if they want to, seek asylum they can
- 1:06:04Speaker 3: make a claim in their home country and they can
- 1:06:07Speaker 3: wait till that claim. Is processed what they really want
- 1:06:09Speaker 3: to do is just, come here tell the, right paperwork
- 1:06:12Speaker 3: tell the, right stories and it guys stay here for
- 1:06:14Speaker 3: years at. A time that will not. Work anymore so
- 1:06:16Speaker 3: there's a huge ruling for the president's power to shut
- 1:06:19Speaker 3: down the.
- 1:06:19Speaker 1: SOUTHERN border i want to make sure you both get
- 1:06:22Speaker 1: an at bat at, what's ahead what do you think
- 1:06:25Speaker 1: matters most? Next Year james phillips will let you, lead
- 1:06:29Speaker 1: off and of course if you do want to add
- 1:06:30Speaker 1: SOMETHING a tps, or asylum go. RIGHT out i thought
- 1:06:33Speaker 1: they were straightforward. And expected but what's ahead in, Your Viewer, James, phillips.
- 1:06:39Speaker 7: Well a couple of cases come.
- 1:06:41Speaker 10: To mind let me start with One that i'm actually
- 1:06:44Speaker 10: counsel to the, petitioners in and That Is international Partners
- 1:06:49Speaker 10: For ethical Care. Versus ferguson this involves a change to
- 1:06:53Speaker 10: laws in the State. Of washington in, the past when
- 1:06:56Speaker 10: a child would run away to a youth, homeless shelter
- 1:07:00Speaker 10: parents would have to be quickly notified and told how
- 1:07:02Speaker 10: their kid was and where they were so they could
- 1:07:04Speaker 10: come and pick, them up except for situations of abuse. Or,
- 1:07:08Speaker 10: Neglect well washington amended their lot to now say that
- 1:07:12Speaker 10: besides abuse, or neglect if the Child says i'm RECEIVING
- 1:07:15Speaker 10: or i want to receive gender, affirming care that triggers
- 1:07:19Speaker 10: the same things as if there was abuse, or neglect that,
- 1:07:22Speaker 10: delays notice that. Delays return it also empowers the state
- 1:07:26Speaker 10: to refer the child for gender. Affirming treatment and so
- 1:07:31Speaker 10: some parents brought suit that this violated their, parental rights
- 1:07:34Speaker 10: their free, speech rights their free, exercise rights and the lower, court,
- 1:07:38Speaker 10: said actually you don't have what's. Called standing this is
- 1:07:41Speaker 10: the legal doctrine that says you got to have enough
- 1:07:43Speaker 10: dog in, the fight you got to have enough of
- 1:07:45Speaker 10: an interest in order to get into. Federal courts and
- 1:07:48Speaker 10: they said, you.
- 1:07:49Speaker 7: Know this is all.
- 1:07:49Speaker 10: Too speculative you might have gender confused kids and one
- 1:07:53Speaker 10: of them has run, away before but we don't know
- 1:07:56Speaker 10: if they're going to run away again and to, a
- 1:07:57Speaker 10: shelter and so this is all. His speculative you can't
- 1:08:00Speaker 10: bring the suit for parents who are trying to prevent
- 1:08:05Speaker 10: this harm, from happening of this long separation from, their
- 1:08:08Speaker 10: child where this child is receiving gender firm. And treatment
- 1:08:11Speaker 10: So The supreme court took it after kind of declining
- 1:08:15Speaker 10: other cases around the country that also raise this issue
- 1:08:17Speaker 10: of can parents preemptively bring these suits against, these policies
- 1:08:21Speaker 10: maybe before they can show that their child has. Been
- 1:08:24Speaker 10: harmed so it's a big deal because these kind of
- 1:08:29Speaker 10: gender identity policies are in schools and governments around, the
- 1:08:34Speaker 10: country and so if ruling in favor of the parents
- 1:08:39Speaker 10: here would enable parents to play some offense against some of.
- 1:08:42Speaker 3: THESE policies i think.
- 1:08:44Speaker 1: That will Be a june twenty twenty. Seven case how, About,
- 1:08:48Speaker 1: you josh what are you looking for?
- 1:08:49Speaker 3: This year the biggest case is not Even. The dock
- 1:08:53Speaker 3: it To take commandment's Case. In texas texas pass law
- 1:08:56Speaker 3: manning the posting of a small piece of paper in
- 1:08:59Speaker 3: each classroom wall that includes a copy Of The. Ten
- 1:09:03Speaker 3: Commandments The fifth circuit, upheld it which means that this
- 1:09:07Speaker 3: will go. Into effect let's. Court intervenes this is another
- 1:09:11Speaker 3: case Where The burger court create all these presence with
- 1:09:13Speaker 3: the separation church. And state this is A called lemon
- 1:09:15Speaker 3: tests that you can't have any entanglement of religion. And
- 1:09:17Speaker 3: government And The robberts court, had, said no we're not
- 1:09:20Speaker 3: using a. Test anymore this will put the ruver to.
- 1:09:22Speaker 3: The road this is something that that's pretty much in
- 1:09:25Speaker 3: clear violation of passed from court precedent and text, is,
- 1:09:28Speaker 3: like well we're going to try. It anyways see, what
- 1:09:29Speaker 3: happens and they'll see Whether The roberts court is going
- 1:09:32Speaker 3: to stand by, they're ruling or they're willing to perhaps
- 1:09:36Speaker 3: take a step back, and, say Well The ten commands
- 1:09:37Speaker 3: is too much.
- 1:09:38Speaker 1: To see very. BIG case i let them take the
- 1:09:41Speaker 1: landing to both. Of You justin sparrin had a book out.
- 1:09:43Speaker 1: This year she was my guest on. The program she
- 1:09:45Speaker 1: was my guest At The nixon library. As well in

- 1:09:58Speaker 1: some and, She said i'm waiting for. The academics what do, You,
- 1:10:01Speaker 1: think josh when we get the free? Exercise decision At
- 1:10:04Speaker 1: least i've been waiting For overturning smith.
- 1:10:06Speaker 3: This, YEAR yeah i Don't think justine there. Means it
