| 0:00.0 | I'm sure yesterday you heard that the Supreme Court ruled in favor of Jack Phillips, the Christian |
| 0:05.2 | Baker at Masterpiece Cake Shop in Colorado who refused to make a cake for gay wedding. They ruled |
| 0:12.3 | in favor of him. It was a big victory for him, Jack Phillips specifically, personally, |
| 0:18.0 | which is great because he's a good and decent man. He was being persecuted by this government agency |
| 0:23.2 | that the Supreme Court determined the government agency being the Colorado Civil Rights Commission. |
| 0:28.6 | Supreme Court determined that they were just openly hostile and prejudice against Jack Phillips. |
| 0:37.6 | And so that's essentially what the Supreme Court decided, that he personally was being victimized |
| 0:44.7 | by this government agency that could not disguise its contempt for Phillips and his religious beliefs. |
| 0:53.5 | As far as the broader questions of the First Amendment and religious liberty, they sort of left |

| 1:41.2 | Because they really, their behavior in this case has been just utterly despicable, just awful. |
| 1:49.6 | And let's start with the fact that the gay couple very clearly targeted Jack Phillips because |
| 1:56.7 | of his religious beliefs. I simply don't believe that in a state, in one of the most gay friendly, |
| 2:05.4 | most liberal states in the union, where there are hundreds of bakeries and other stores to choose |
| 2:14.3 | from, or you might find a wedding cake. I don't believe that they just so happened coincidentally |
| 2:21.6 | to walk in the door of the one bakery in the whole state run by a guy who was so orthodox and |
| 2:28.7 | conservative in his Christian faith that he won't even make Halloween cakes. I don't believe |
