Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Michael Berry Show. Senator John Kennedy from Louisiana is
always good for a SoundBite. He might not vote the
way we would like him to vote many many times
because he will sell us down the river. Some of you,
I love John Kennedy. Yeah, he's good for a sound bite,
but when push comes to shove, he votes wrong very often.
(00:20):
He's a he's a reliable Mitch McConnell, John Cornyn voter.
Don't believe me. Go look at the votes. I spend
time on the votes. Most people don't.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
I like him.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
If I like him and he says good things, he
must be a good, good guy. Huh mm hmm. But
he's good for a sound bite. Here is him questioning
Professor Mary Ann Franks during the hearing on the censorship
Industrial Complex.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
This is pretty good.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
This is John Kennedy at his best.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
Is I understanding your position, Professor Franks? Is that I
think use you use the word myth. It is a
myth that the Biden administration used government to compel speech
private speech, but the Trump administration is doing that. It
(01:10):
is not a fair characterization.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
Yes, that's correct.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
Okay. Do you think perhaps you're allowing your personal political
beliefs to affect your objectivity.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
Here, No, I do not.
Speaker 4 (01:26):
What is guiding my answers here is that I'm looking
to see what the Supreme Court has said. You notice
that in the testimony about the censorship Industrial Compact.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Oh, but I've only got five minutes your answers knows.
I appreciate it. Let me ask you a couple of questions.
You wrote a larview article in December of twenty twenty
three for the New York University of Law Review, and
it was about the two cases Bruin Spring Court case
(02:00):
and Dobbs. Remember that article?
Speaker 3 (02:02):
Yes, I did, okay.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
In this article you said, I'm going to quote your words.
Taken together, these two cases demonstrate that the Supreme Court
has embraced the use of the Constitution as a tool
of racial patriarchy. End quote. Did you say that, yes, okay?
(02:27):
And then you went on to say, quote, when the
Supreme Court declares that there is a constitutional right to
armed self defense in public, it openly embraces and promotes
a culture that privileges white men's ability to terrorize and
kill those that they perceive as threats. Close quote. Did
(02:49):
I read that quiet correctly?
Speaker 3 (02:51):
I believe so thank you for reading.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
Okay? And did you also say in that article, I'm
going to quote again quote. By simultaneously expanding white men's
right to kill and constricting women's right not to die,
this Supreme Court referring to the current United States Supreme
(03:13):
Court has turned the Constitution into a homicide pact as well.
Close quote. Did you write.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
That that sounds like me?
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Okay? In November of twenty twenty four, you tweet, don't you.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
I'm not sure what the current terminology is for it,
but yes, I am sometimes on the social platform that
was formerly known as Twitter.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
Yeah, you're on a lot, aren't you.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
I'm not sure what the relevance of that is.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
You're trying to be provocative on there, don't you?
Speaker 3 (03:44):
Again? I am not sure what the relative Well, let
me let me.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
Let me show you the relevance. On November seventh, twenty
twenty four, from your tweet, here's one of your tweets
at two forty one pm. Quote, the majority of Americans
hate when the majority of Americans hate women more than
they love anything, including democracy? Close quote? Did I read
(04:10):
that correctly?
Speaker 4 (04:11):
I am not sure what this has to do with
the subject matter of this did you say it. I
do not have those words in front of me. I
probably said something in those lines.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
But what is the figures Dallas right there? Yes, but
your political beliefs don't impact your feelings about President Biden
or President Trump.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
I don't have feelings about either them.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
What I have to me like you have your favorite
feelings anger, Let me ask you this. You issued another tweet.
This was in May of twenty and twenty two. You've
just been tweeting up a storm. You said, quote, there's
a reason why the conservative dominated Supreme Court thinks the
(04:53):
Constitution did not contact, does not contain the right to
an abortion, but is convinced so it contains an individual
right to possess firearms. And that reason is white male supremacy.
Close quote. Did I read that correctly?
Speaker 3 (05:12):
Is there a question in this?
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Do not read that correctly?
Speaker 3 (05:15):
Is the question that is relevant to this hearing?
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Did that read that correctly? Do you really think that
the United States Supreme Court, you're an officer of the court,
is guided by white male supremacy.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
I believe that the First Amendment prohibits the president did
other state battles for punishing people for.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
You honestly say that professor as a democratic witness to
take you seriously? Are you kidding me?
Speaker 4 (05:42):
I believe that you should take your enthusiasm.
