| 0:00.0 | When California lost Senator Barbara Boxer, it looked as though the title for stupidest woman in the U.S. Senate had been lost too. |
| 0:05.7 | But thanks to the election of Kamala Harris to fill her role, California has retained its title holder. |
| 0:10.7 | On Friday, Harris tweeted, Judge Gorsuch has consistently valued narrow legalisms over real lives. |
| 0:16.4 | I cannot support his nomination. |
| 0:18.5 | And there was an op-ed to back the city up, odic contention up. In it, Harris argued that Gorsuch, a man so qualified that literally not one Democrat cast a vote against him for his federal appellate court position, was unqualified to be on the Supreme Court. Why? Because the court, quote, has the power to do enormous good, and Gorsuch wouldn't do such good. What good would he forgo as a result of being, |
| 0:41.6 | you know, like a judge? According to Harris, he would have voted to strike down laws forcing teachers to pay union dues because that's a violation of their First Amendment rights, |
| 0:46.2 | among other obvious legal issues. But Harris says that because Gorsuch might take a look at that |
| 0:50.4 | stupid old constitution, he cannot be confirmed. She writes, as U.S. senators, |
| 0:54.9 | we have an obligation to also examine a nominee's legal approach and ask whether he or she |
| 0:59.8 | considers the impact of those decisions on our society and the daily lives of our people. |
| 1:05.2 | Say, wouldn't it be awesome if we had some sort of like independently elected branch to make |
| 1:09.4 | public policy, wouldn't that be awesome? |
| 1:14.2 | But according to Harris, judges should fulfill the mandate if they're a good marshal, |
| 1:18.4 | who said, quote, you do what you think is right and let the law catch up, |
| 1:21.4 | which coincidentally is also something that every dictator ever has said. |
| 1:26.2 | But never mind, Harris knows what is right for America, judges who openly ignore legalism in order to apply her standards of morality. |
| 1:29.2 | I'm Ben Shapiro. This is the Ben Shapiro show. |
| 1:34.5 | Okay, so we are going to get to all of the hub over Devin Nunez, the head of the House |
| 1:37.9 | intelligence community and the supposed scandal surrounding him visiting the White House. |
| 1:42.1 | We are going to get to Donald Trump's decision to reach out to Democrats rather than reaching out to conservatives. We're going to get to some good Trump and some bad Trump. We'll do good Trump bad Trump today, which is always exciting. Plus, we'll deconstruct the culture. But first, we should say thank you to our sponsors over at My Patriot Supply. So recently, North Korea has been making a lot of noises about how they want to nuke us. Are they actually going to nuke us? Unlikely. But if they tried to, then now it would be the time to stock up for your four-week emergency food supply for just $99. Actually, I got a nice letter from somebody who is somebody who had gone and got the emergency food supply at prepare with ben.com. They said that there was a flaw in their packaging. They immediately sent a note to the folks over at my Patriot Supply and they fixed the problem immediately. They were really responsive. They're terrific folks over there. Preparewithbend.com. $99 plus free shipping provides you that four-week emergency food supply, which is great because even if you're not worried about North Korea nuking us, you should be worried about a tornado or an earthquake. There's always natural disasters, and it takes a while for the government to get to people in some of these cases. In some cases, the government just doesn't show up at all. And so it's important that you be able to protect your family, make sure that you have as much food on hand as you need. That's $99 for that four-week emergency food |
| 2:51.5 | supply. Folks in the office have tried it, they say that it tastes really good. Preparewithbenn.com |
| 2:55.6 | or 888-803-1413. It's one of those things where you do it once and then you never |
