Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
So the big story domestically, I suppose, is the nomination
of the big story domestically is COVID. It's really not.
It's not Dr Fauci. You can shut up now. You
could shut up a year ago anyway. The nomination of
Judge Katangi Jackson Brown to the Supreme Court, swapping one
liberal justice for another. So it's not that big a deal.

(00:23):
And I want I don't want to. I don't want
anybody to miss the real headline over this. She's gonna
get confirmed, guaranteed, it's gonna happen. So this is mostly theatrics. Yeah,
barring some sort of crazy twist that's almost impossible to happen.
Have to find somebody, an abductive person in the trunk

(00:44):
of her car when she parks at the Capitol Building today.
What if she came over the desk and just started
wailing on Ted Cruise, just punching him with both fists.
I cost her a couple of Democratic votes. I don't
know she'd well, she'd fundraised like crazy, which is Jack's

(01:04):
big picture. That's what I want to talk about coming
up in a little bit. Oh right, yeah, yeah, okay,
Uh so it's unlikely she would do that, partly because
she's a respected jurist and partly because she's a woman.
Whatever that is. Uh. This is Senator Marcia Blackburn asking
what seems to be a fairly basic question. Can you
provide a definition for the word woman? Can I provide

(01:29):
a definition? Yeah? I can't. You can't, not in contact,
not a biology of the word woman is so unclear
and controversial that you can't give me a definition, Senator.
In my work as a judge, what I do is

(01:50):
I address disputes. If there's a dispute about a definition,
people make arguments and I look at the law and
I decide I get her answer, Um, But that your
follow up question would have been a great thing. Are
you a woman? And do you know? That would have

(02:11):
been fantastic? Well, I that answer was bull crap in
my opinion, I got it in terms of I mean,
it was skillfully done. But the idea that you know,
I I don't know how to define a woman is idiotic.
Everybody does, Every ten year old does. It's a human female, period.
I'm I was trying to find because the Cato people

(02:34):
that we we mostly like UM came out in favor
of her being a judge and the reasoning was pretty interesting.
I'll dig that up for you. And how she is
different from the other people that we have on the
Supreme Court right now. I'll come up with that at
some point. But this line of question got a fair
amount of attention and um and our stupid, stupid media

(02:55):
didn't understand why it was a big deal. Um, Lindsey
Graham and clip seventeen there, Michael, on the scale of
one to ten, how faithful would you say you are
in terms of religion? You know, I go to church
probably three times a year, so that speaks poorly of me?
Or do you do a ten church regularly? Well, Senator,

(03:16):
I am reluctant to talk about my faith in this
way just because I want to be um mindful of
the need for the public to have confidence in my
ability to separate out my personal views. Um, here's the
reason Lindsey Graham will ask that question and why it

(03:37):
should be significant. She's a very religious person. Doesn't even
make a blip anytime there's a white person like Amy
Coney Barrett who's a very religious person. There's some sort
of weirdo nuotball we should all be scared of. And
how often they go to church, and the fact that
their kids are in church schools and all these different

(03:58):
church beliefs, and will they be controlled by their church
is this is the giant discussion about these weirdo Christians.
If it's Mike Penzer, Amy, Conan Barrett, or anybody who's
white ever, who's a Christian, You're just a weirdo Black
people for whatever reason get to be devout Christians and
it's just fine, it's just what you do. Yeah. It
just goes to show so much of what is claimed

(04:20):
and said and politics and the views that are spouted
are just horsecrap. They're just trying to win an argument
in the day. They're just trying to frighten DOPEI voters
into one point of view or another. They have nothing
to do with with any true belief. But remember, well
I didn't I think there is a I think there
is a I don't know at the right term would

(04:41):
be beliefs too strong. But there is a feeling in
America that white but among among you know, a certain
set certainly not among me, not most of our listeners probably,
but among the media class and and whoever, those people
are um that white Christians are weirdos, and Black Christians
are just regular church going people, right, which gets to

(05:01):
and it's funny. I ran, Christians are q and on
right Christians are racist White Christians. Uh, you know want
a theocrit with white Christians don't want women in the work,
but you know all these days want the handmaids tell right, Yeah, yeah,
that's absolutely true. Ran into this the other day, a
great example of it and just horrifying. You're gonna think
I made it up, but I didn't um that the
topic is and and I want to be careful on

(05:23):
this for both professional reasons and because I would never
want to give offense to anybody, because I think racism
is a horn. But there are a certain class of
white people that fetishized black people. They they are so
anxious to let you know how much they love black folks.
And and it's it's weird as a white guy, it's weird.

(05:45):
I wonder what it's like as a black person. I
don't know, um, but UH ran into I'm I gotta
be vague here. Ran into a person who uh did
a tour of an inner city neighborhood and said came
back and said, I can so relate to those people
because I grew up blah blah blah, and where she
grew up was like this gigantic mansion in the richest

(06:09):
part of town. And and what was trying to say?
How down she was with the black folk, and it
was it was sickening and so lacking an insight. It's
hard to believe an adult actually said it. Um. And
so they're among your intellectual white folks who generally mock

(06:29):
and belittle anyone of faith. When they see a black
person like that, they say, well, it's okay for black
people because you know, you know, that's an important part
of their their culture, and it it's a weird sort
of so you think it's it's it's actually got a
level of bigotry to it. Yes, absolutely interesting.
