Democrats lose their mind about Brett Kavanaugh's nomination, Bob Woodward's book launches,

and Paul Krugman says Republicans are here to steal your health care. Oh, happy day. I'm Ben Shapiro.

This is The Ben Shapiro Show.

Today, this very Tumblr will be filled endlessly with the tears of all of the people at the Senate Judiciary Committee

hearing. It is fully insane over there where all the women have been reduced to the status of

0:26.7

menial slaves under President Pence and Justice Kavanaugh has forced them all into the back

0:31.7

alleys for their abortions. We'll talk about all of those things. But first, let's talk about

0:36.5

what you're going to do during this incipient disaster as Brett Kavanaugh about to join the Supreme Court and reduce us all to penury to living in our homes, having to eat from food storage. Well, what are you going to do when that happens? The answer is you're going to need my Patriot Supply, because the reality is that regardless of what the disaster is, whether it's Brett Kavanaugh being appointed to the Supreme Court, or whether it's net neutrality, or whether it's actually just like an actual natural disaster where you can't leave your house or go to the grocery store, you're going to need something in your house to get you through those times. The answer cannot be to run to the grocery store in a lot of emergency situations because the shelves are already empty or the place is closed. This is why you need my Patriot Supply for food storage, so you'll be ready for earthquakes, hurricanes, long-term power outages, and more. Here's a great special that makes it simple. Each person in your household should have a two-week emergency food supply from My Patriot Supply. The kits are only 75 bucks right now. They contain 92 servings of breakfast, lunches, and dinners.

1:28.4

Take action, call 888-803, 1413, or go to my special website, prepare with ben.com. The food lasts up to 25 years in storage meals compact and a rugged, slim-line tote as well. It's only $75 for all that. Rest tonight knowing that you're prepared or those food kits at 888803, 1413, or prepare with Ben.com. 888-803-1413 or prepare with Ben.com. Okay, so the second day of the Brett Kavanaugh hearings is upon us. Brett Kavanaugh, of course, is President Trump's nominee to replace Justice Kennedy. Yesterday, I mistakenly said he was going to replace Scalia, but that, of course, was Justice Gorsuch.

2:19.0

He is there to replace Justice Kennedy, and the left is going nuts over this because, oh, my God, an establishment Republican with the most establishment of credentials is going to sit on the Supreme Court. And there's nothing they can do to stop it. And there's nothing they can do to stop it because Harry Reid, back in 2013, like an idiot, utilize the nuclear option in order to get through a bunch of judicial nominees by President Obama over the filibuster. So now it only

2:23.8

requires 51 votes to put somebody on a federal court. Well, the Republicans have those 51 votes.

2:28.4

They will be using them for Brett Kavanaugh. He will indeed sit on the nation's highest court.

2:31.8

Now, it's hilarious about all of this is the levels of panic to which the left have been rising in the last couple of days are fully crazy. I mean, fully, fully crazy. We'll show you some of that panic in just a second. But Brett Kavanaugh is sitting there answering questions like, what do you think about Roe v. Wade? And he's saying it's precedent. And then he's asked about Planned Parenthood versus Casey. And he says it's precedent on a precedent.

2:52.0

This does not sound like a dude who is going to overturn Roe v. Wade. This was always my criticism of Judge Brett Kavanaugh. I didn't think that he was the most right-leaning person that the Republicans could have picked, the most originalist person Republicans could have picked. I think he'll be a pretty good judge. I think he'll be a pretty good justice.

3:06.8

I don't think that he's going to be Thomas or Scalia.

3:09.2

I'm not sure that he's a solid vote to overrule Roe v. Wade. But it doesn't matter what he says at this point because the Democrats have basically already made up their mind and judicial hearings are useless. Because we now have something called the Ginsburg rule, which has been in place for some 30 years, basically you can't expect a judge

3:26.4

to answer questions about how they will decide an upcoming case or even what they really think

3:30.8

of past precedent. Instead, they just say it's precedent, which is a legal description of the state

3:35.3

of the law. Roe is precedent, but precedent is not binding on the Supreme Court because the Supreme

3:39.5

Court can simply overrule precedent any time that it wants. So all of this is to say that these judicial

3:45.6

hearings are a complete waste of time. They are utter nonsense that are waiting for the, for the

3:49.3

senators to grandstand. And apparently for them to bring in all of their crazy friends to grandstand
