| 1:51.3 | All righty. So we are still in the aftermath of what was a wild and bizarre Senate Judiciary Committee hearing over President Trump's nominee to the Supreme Court |
| 2:01.0 | to replace Justice Anthony Kennedy. This, of course, would be Brett Kavanaugh. Brett Kavanaugh is about |
| 2:05.0 | as mainstream establishment, a textualist judge as can be. He gave no controversial answers, |
| 2:10.7 | but that did not stop Democrats from grandstanding because we now live in a world. We're signaling |
| 2:15.3 | to your base that you are deeply, deeply upset about things is the way to win political races. Whether you're Donald Trump in the 2016 primaries or whether you're Bernie Sanders in the 2016 primaries, the way that you get your base excited is by showing them that you are very upset and you are crusading for truth. It doesn't matter if you're actually making up the truth. It doesn't matter if you're twisting it. Doesn't matter if you're lying it. The only thing that really matters in the end is whether your base believes that you're passionate about something, because passion has now outweighed reason as the basic standard that we should be using in any particular way. Well, the case in point over the last couple of days has been Cory Booker. And the evolution of Cory Booker is really something to watch. For those you didn't know anything about Cory Booker, |
| 2:54.7 | Cory Booker. And the evolution of Cory Booker is really something to watch. For those he didn't know anything about Cory Booker, Cory Booker used to be considered a sort of moderate politician. He was sort of a third-way politician who was in Newark, New Jersey. He was governing across the aisle. He was making friends with Schmuli Botayach. He was a guy who was going to be the new wave of |
| 3:07.5 | politics in the country, you know, postpartisan beyond all of this back and forth left and right. And then he realized that the best way to elevate himself inside the Democratic Party was to act like a loon bag. And so he has decided to go full loony. And he did that during the Senate Judiciary Committee. So you recall a couple of days ago when he suggested that he was Spartacus, which was real weird. It was real weird because, number one, he is not, in fact, Spartacus. Number two, he doesn't understand the plot of Spartacus. And number three, he didn't actually violate the law. But here was Cory Booker basically daring people on the Senate Judiciary Committee to oust him from the Senate for violation of the rules. |
| 3:45.2 | I said the Washington Free Beacon did a mashup of Cory Booker talking about how he had violated the rules with George Costanza from Seinfeld talking about how he was the bad man. |
| 3:49.8 | And it really does fit. |
| 3:51.3 | I mean, Cory Booker is a nerd pretending to be the bad guy here so that he's cool at the base. |
| 3:55.8 | He's going to wear a leather jacket and ride a motorcycle so that the base will love him and vote for him in 2020. Here's Cory Booker pretending |
| 4:01.1 | to be Spartacus. I will say that I did willingly violate the chair's rule on the committee |
| 4:06.4 | confidential process. I take full responsibility for violating that, sir, and I violate it because |
| 4:13.3 | I sincerely believe that the public deserves to know this nominee's record. In this particular case, his record on issues of race and the law. And I could not understand. And I violated this rule knowingly why these issues should be withheld from the public. Now, I appreciate the comments of my colleagues. |
| 4:32.4 | This is about the closest I'll probably ever have in my life to an I am Spartacist moment. |
| 4:36.7 | He's making two claims there. |
