The following is a transcript from the Pro America Report.
Welcome, welcome. Welcome, Ed Martin here at the Pro America Report with a lot happening as we head into the weekend, I will.
I’m going to play again the Karen Garnett interview from a few days ago about the National pro-life luncheon. It’s gotten some good traction from folks, so we’ll play that in a few moments.
I will also visit with another author today, Mark David Hall. About his new book. But first, So what you need to know. What you need to know today today’s WYNK. Here on the Pro America Report, I’m Ed Martin. By the way, your fearless host and they, but
Today I want to encourage you to understand that sometimes silence is cover. Silence is cover. I’m not talking by the way about these leaks, yet, I’m not talking about some of these other issues. I’m talking about this story.
Senator Dianne Feinstein of California is almost 90 years old and she has been in some declining health in the last couple of years. But that’s OK. I mean, she’s in her late 80s and she has had a long career and she’s very liberal. And I don’t like any of her politics. But she’s been in service for for, she’s been serving forever. But now she had shingles and she couldn’t come to Washington, DC, and Fetterman, the Pennsylvania senator, was in the hospital and and Blumenthal, the late 70s, I think, I didn’t know. He’s old, he’s he broke his leg. There’s lots of senators that aren’t making it to the session. But here’s the thing. Judiciary Committee is where Dianne Feinstein has served for a couple of decades, and in order to advance nominees from that committee, the Dems have to have their members there, and since she’s not there, she cannot vote to advance the nominees. These are judges. These are lifetime tenured judges, and what everybody has shown, whether it was Mitch McConnell when Donald Trump was president or Chuck Schumer, when Joe Biden is president is they know the math and they know how once they get out of committee to go to the floor of the Senate at the right time. And pass nominees. Joe Biden has had as many. In fact, he’s had more nominees confirmed as lifetime tenure federal judges, more than Trump by this point in his in his presidency. And Trump was really good at it, Trump and McConnell. Their teams worked really well together. But here’s the wrinkle. What you’re not hearing, I was one Story about it went Away, is that in order for Chuck Schumer to replace Senator Dianne Feinstein on the Judiciary Committee as she has requested, he needs to go o the floor of the US Senate, and he needs to either get unanimous consent, which means everybody agrees, no one objects. Or he has to force through by Cloture, 60 votes, a change in that committee structure, that committee membership. And Republicans should not help. They should not help. The Democrats, when they get in similar positions, they don’t help. The liberals don’t help. They play hardball, and the hardball should just be Rand Paul or Josh Hawley or someone should not consent unanimously and force a vote and put people on the record and make them have to vote for it. Because these are really important judges, judgeships, positions, and they should not be, we should not decide suddenly. Ohh we’re gonna play along nice with people.
And back to my point, what you need to know is. It’s quiet. No coverage, no media coverage. No talking about it. There was one article that referenced this and the reason why? Because the establishment in Washington, both parties, when they need to do something that they know is unpopular, they if they can get away with it, they say nothing, they go quiet on it. So there’s so there’s not coverage, the coverage is non-existent. As I said, one article in Politico.
Now I I actually have noticed that a couple of conservatives and myself included, have been pushing on social media saying, hey, hey, hey, don’t don’t fall for this, but we’ll see if it’s enough. Because generally, especially when it’s, you know, the kind of the coming out of Easter break and there’s not a lot in of of senator and most of you will this week the Senate and House are out of session, which means a lot of staffers and others have taken vacation, taking days off, you know, they’re catching up. Families on, kids are on spring break or something, so it’s very quiet and that includes the journalists, that includes the media, so it it will be interesting to see if this story will get some traction, but it quite literally could mean that 10 or 20 or 30 judges would not be confirmed or at least delay the schedule enough that it would end up getting towards the the the election cycle, when there might be a change in leadership. That, that that may seem like hardball. But that’s what both parties do when they want to. And the Republicans don’t do it when they think. I don’t know when they think that when they’re, when they’re kind of, I don’t know, charmed into it.
Ohh, Dianne Feinstein. She’s served all these years. She asked for something. So what? She’s gotten lots of somethings over the years. She’s gotten lots of power and influence, you know. She just sold her home. She has a home. Her and her husband are fabulously wealthy. I think her husband made money. I I think he was a wealthy guy before she was in the in the in politics, but who knows? I mean she, they but they have a multi million dollar home in Montana or Wyoming, or somewhere that they just were selling, I think that’s the coverage I saw. But my point here is she’s had plenty of favors. She’s had plenty of stature. She’s had plenty of opportunities. She’s had plenty of respect, if that’s what you want to show her. But to give Biden and Schumer and the left judges when they are in the midst of lawfare as clear as can be against Trump and January 6 defendants and even lots of other aspects, lots of other examples, it’s just crazy.
So what you need to know is silence on a story means they’re trying to slip it through. Lack of coverage on a story means that they’re trying to make it keep, you know, make it happen and not make it a big deal. I mean, just being respectful, just being respectful.
Imagine if Ted Cruz was wanting to come off Judiciary Committee during President Trump’s time. Do you think Chuck Schumer would be like? Oh yeah, well. We’ll just, we’ll, we’ll, we’ll unanimously consent to that. No way. Not in a million years. Not in a million years. So stand tall Republicans in the Senate. Don’t give in to the Feinstein swap and fight for judges. Alright, that’s all I’ve got.
We’ll take a break when we come back. We’ve got a lot more. Especially we’ll get an update. We’ll play again the Karen Garnett interview important event taking place just about a week from now, down in Dallas for pro-life. Be right back. Ed Martin here on the Pro America Report. Talk to you in a moment.
