| 0:00.0 | The following podcast contains explicit language. |
| 0:07.7 | It's Monday, April 5, 2017, from slated to the gist I, Mike Pascha. |
| 0:12.0 | When it came to the Supreme Court nomination of Neil Gorsuch, the Democrats |
| 0:15.9 | had a pile of case law to point to. There was the case of the frozen trucker, |
| 0:19.9 | the case of the evasive jurist, and of course the case of the stolen seat. |
| 0:24.4 | But nothing stuck. So now, to quote the Bible's primary source, and John Madden, |
| 0:29.1 | his secondary source, they're going for the Hail Mary plagiarism. |
| 0:33.7 | Plagiarism was the case. Large passages of Gorsuch's euthanasia book were parallel |
| 0:40.0 | in structure and form and language to a legal article. |
| 0:43.9 | The author of the legal article says she doesn't see the plagiarism. |
| 0:46.9 | Academics do say it was plagiarism in this example and in some others of Gorsuch's writings. |
| 0:53.6 | But let's take the euthanasia book. There was the part when Gorsuch and the original article, |
| 0:58.5 | both say, asoffalgeal atrizia with trakeo-a-sophagol-fistula, |

| 1:08.1 | with an abnormal connection between the trakeia and the esophagus. |
| 1:12.0 | They both say that. But of course he could have said this in so many other ways. |
| 1:16.1 | For instance, just describe it as if someone once did on the internet as a series of pipes. |
| 1:21.0 | But don't even say the esophagus. Say the food tube. |
| 1:24.2 | The old food tube. If Gorsuch had written that the food tubes connected to the breath tube, |
| 1:29.7 | but it's a little scurry-lurry if you ask me, and he'd be in the free and clear. |
| 1:34.4 | This has become a divisive divisive issue where both sides vehemently disagree while at the same |
| 1:39.7 | time actually agreeing. Bloomberg headline, Gorsuch plagiarism is worthy of embarrassment. |
