Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Five, p. Fifty two. Now here in Houston's barn News.
What's making Milwaukee famous right now, unfortunately for them, is
Hannah Duggan, the Wisconsin judge who has been arrested for
what she did. Deservedly so, judges are not above the law,
although there are plenty on the progressive left who will
tell you that what she did was heroic. Might have

(00:20):
been illegal, but it sure was heroic. Cully Simpson joins
us at the Heritage Foundation. Kully, I mean, we've got
more and more cases of radical judges. I guess now
there's another judge in Wisconsin threatening a courtroom boycott over
Judge Duggan getting arrested. This is getting ridiculous.

Speaker 2 (00:39):
It is the one who's refusing to do her work
is probably in violation of the state's Fair Labor Standards Act,
which says if you're a government employee, you can't not work.
Certainly a violation of the Settle Fair Labor Standards Act.
And look, Judge Duggan, I was a judge, was a
judge for five years as a prosecutor, as a defense attorney.
She's a disgrace. What she did is clearly a violation

(01:02):
of the law. If the affidavit that the FBA filed
that contains a lot of facts is true. I would
also add, because I was a federal prosecutor, they should
probably look at eight USC. Thirteen twenty four bringing in
and harboring certain illego aliens. Here's what she did. She
not only when she found out from her clerk that

(01:24):
federal agents with an arrest warrant were in the hallway,
the public section of the courthouse, she skidaddled off her bench,
slithered out the door, went into the hallway, and demanded
that they leave the courthouse. I mean, what the heck
is that? What judge does that? Then she got in
their face in an angry tone, demanded to see the paperwork.

(01:48):
When she saw it, clearly she saw that it was legit.
Then she purp walks them demands that they go down
to the Chief Judge's chambers, knowing full well the chief
judge was away, in other words, getting them out of
the area so that she could Then, while they were
still in the Chief Judge Chambers slithered back through the
back hallway to her courtroom, where she had the defendant

(02:12):
and her public defender sitting in the jury box. Where
no one sits the guy was not in custody, and
she then conceals them and takes them out the judge's entrance,
which is a private hallway, only to see then that
the public defender and the defendant who'd been deported by

(02:32):
the way before going down a different elevator at the
Federal Agent saw him. The dude gets to the bottom
floor and then he sprints out the courthouse and they
have to do a footchase and catch the guy block later.
She's not some Rows of Brooks type. This is not
one of those things. This is a judge who actively

(02:55):
participated at a number of levels in concealing an illegal
alien because somehow she thinks she's above the law.

Speaker 1 (03:00):
It's a disgrace, it is, and there are more and
more judges that are like her. Clearly, you know, I
would like to think that people of Milwaukee had no
idea how woke this woman was when they elected her.
Assumed that she's an elected and not an appointed judge.

Speaker 2 (03:15):
I don't know how judges get on the bench, on
the trial bench at the state level, but look, I
don't think a lot of judges are going to do
what she's doing. There was a judge in Boston during
the bomb administration did a similar thing and she got prosecuted,
as you should have. But look, being a judge at
the state or federal level is usually the pinnacle of
your legal career. It certainly was the pinnacle of mine.

(03:38):
When I was in the Navy Jaguars. I was the
deputy chief judge the New Marine Corps Trial juiciary. You
don't want to put your reputation on the line over
one case.

Speaker 1 (03:47):
Oz.

Speaker 2 (03:47):
Judges, you can have a personal opinion, you keep it
to yourself, and you call balls and strikes when you're
on the bench. But she's an act of participant here.
If the FBI AFFI David, which I encourage people to read,
you should put it in your show. It's because it's
amazing how many witnesses they talk to.

Speaker 1 (04:03):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (04:04):
By the way, the victims of that domestic violence were
in the courtroom and she didn't even let them know that.
She skidaddled the defendant out of the courtroom. I think
amazing you.

Speaker 1 (04:14):
Yeah, again, these these are the same you know, liberal
judges that supposedly were for women's rights back in the day,
and were you know, we were. Certainly you would think
would want to protect battered women. But clearly this, you know,
being here illegally is a bigger issue to them because
they don't believe that this country should have any borders.

Speaker 2 (04:32):
Right. Well, you have to adopt their mentality to understand
on air quotes their position. The defendants are the victims
in their mind. The perpetrators are the victims in their mind.
So the actual alleged victims of the domestic violence, they
don't matter. And so that's why I wrote that book wrote,

(04:54):
prosecutors have adical source. Lawyers are destroying America's communities because
those people are pro defendant, pro criminal, anti victim, cop hating, zealous,
and this is the mentality they have. That's how they
approach these situations.

Speaker 1 (05:10):
The only way to understand it is to try to
think like they do. And I can't do it, even
though you've instructed me exactly what I need to do, Cully,
Thank you appreciate it. Coullie Simpson from the Heritage Foundation
