um Mr chairman Senator White
0:03
House I I I just find this
0:08
extraordinary and I I find the
0:12
timing of this to be
0:17
extraordinary
0:18
um I think most of us can agree that
0:21
America is
0:23
this big
0:26
wide
0:28
open free
0:32
sometimes
0:35
dysfunctional often
0:39
imperfect but always good
0:42
country and we all love
0:46
it but we're going through a rough
0:51
patch um
0:54
inflation is gutting our people like a
0:57
fish
1:00
people in my state have to sell blood
1:03
plasma in order to go to the grocery
1:07
store the border is wide
1:11
open and that's under the jurisdiction
1:14
of this
1:16
committee now I know some folks think
1:20
that
1:21
if you oppose illegal immigration you
1:25
are are necessarily a
1:28
racist that's not the way the American
1:31
people look at
1:32
it the American people support legal
1:35
immigration but they look at the
1:37
southern border like their front
1:40
door most Americans lock their front
1:43
door at
1:44
night not because they hate everybody on
1:47
the outside but because they love the
1:49
people on the inside and they want to
1:50
know who's going into and coming out of
1:53
their
1:55
home and I don't think that's
1:57
unreasonable
2:00
we don't talk about it much anymore but
2:02
since the Affordable Care Act was passed
2:06
insurance premiums in
2:08
America have
2:10
tripled we're not doing anything about
2:14
it
2:16
um we've always had people in America
2:19
unfortunately who are too poor to be
2:21
sick but now many of those people are in
2:24
the middle
2:26
class because of our healthc care
2:28
delivery system
2:31
we're going through a rough
2:34
patch internationally the world's on
2:38
fire the world's on fire in Eastern
2:41
Europe it's on fire in the Middle
2:43
East The Embers are smoldering in the
2:46
indopacific
2:48
you don't have to be menum material to
2:52
see that this is all being coordinated
2:55
between and among China and Russia and
2:58
the iatola
3:01
Iran their goal is to have Russia
3:05
dominate Central and Eastern
3:07
Europe to have the Ayatollah and Iran
3:10
dominate the Middle East to have China
3:13
dominate the indopacific and sub Sahara
3:16
Africa and be free to make whatever move
3:19
they want to in South
3:21
America look at the democracies that are
3:24
being overthrown in South America and
3:27
that is not a world that is safe for
3:32
America but what are we concentrating on
3:35
we have decided Mr chairman to attack
3:39
another branch of our
3:43
government now Senator White
3:48
House I I I don't agree with you
3:50
respectfully that the fundamental issue
3:53
here is bribery at the Supreme Court I
3:57
don't believe that and I don't believe
3:59
you do either
4:01
sir I think the fundamental issue here
4:04
is that there's some people that don't
4:07
like the opinions being issued by the
4:09
United States Supreme Court and that is
4:12
your right I've disagreed with many of
4:15
the Supreme Court's
4:17
opinions but I haven't tried to destroy
4:21
them I think you're making a big mistake
4:23
here Mr chairman I say that with all the
4:26
respect I can muster and and and
4:30
here's my
4:35
question no
4:38
one in the Milky
4:44
Way with the with with the possible
4:47
exception of one of Hunter
4:51
hookers believes that all you're
4:54
interested in is a few
4:57
documents is your endgame
5:00
to subp a Clarence Thomas and make him
5:02
appear before the Judiciary
5:06
Committee there a senator yield the
5:08
floor I was hoping I could get
5:11
rical I could get our chairman to to to
5:15
give me some Vis I'm sorry I didn't
5:16
realize that was directed to me but I
5:18
will respond our endgame is to follow
5:20
the facts we cannot accumulate the facts
5:23
without the cooperation of the witnesses
5:25
when the witnesses after repeated
5:26
attempts to appeal to them have failed
5:29
to produce these facts and documents uh
5:32
We've turned to a suprina but I can tell
5:34
you it's after a long arduous Journey
5:36
where we've done everything we can to
5:38
try to get their voluntary
5:41
cooperation M Mr chairman do you believe
5:43
we can subpoena clearance Thomas I
5:46
haven't addressed that issue either priv
5:49
have and we say
5:50
no I'm going to go to the roll call
5:53
votes and then continue this uh
5:54
discussion if the members wish to stay
5:56
for that purpose first is Judge Mustafa
5:59
kasui
6:00
nominated to US District Court for the
6:02
District of Oregon does anyone seek
6:03
recognition on the judge's nomination I
6:08
do I think I voted almost 90 something
6:12
per of the time for district court
6:14
judges uh that
6:17
were picked by Senators working with the
6:20
White House I sort of like that as
6:23
matter of fact I just was able to work
6:26
with the White House legal council to
6:27
get a nominee from South Carolina up I
6:30
wouldn't have chosen any of these people
6:32
but I'm a little oldfashioned I'd like
6:34
to have Senators still have input about
6:38
district court judges in their state and
6:41
when you're out of power in the white
6:44
house um we're working as best we can
6:47
over here to find
6:49
acceptable
6:51
nominees and um I'm proud of what the
6:54
committee has tried to do and and to the
6:55
members and the minority been I think
6:58
very reasonable uh these two are just
7:02
way out of
7:04
bands I mean just like overthe toop out
7:07
of bands I do not trust these two
7:11
nominees to give me a fair trial because
7:14
I think they're so indoctrinated in
7:17
their liberal thoughts and their
7:19
attitudes about life it oozes from their
7:22
pores I mean you could feel it not just
7:26
hear it these people are really
7:30
committed to their causes of which
7:34
almost have don't share any of them and
7:38
it's okay to disagree with each other
7:41
but I don't believe they could resist a
7:44
temptation to be a district court judge
7:47
to advance their causes and I've never
7:50
said that before in this committee but
7:52
about these two I believe that so I'm
7:55
voting no to both so the question is on
7:59
favorably rep Mr chairman Senator Cruz
8:03
you asked if people wanted to be
8:04
recognized
8:06
on well I agree entirely with Senator
8:09
Graham the judges that have been
8:11
nominated by Joe Biden have been
8:14
extraordinary they have been
8:18
extreme they've been so
8:21
egregious they fill me with the sense I
8:23
could not have previously imagined
8:25
having which is I long for Barack
8:28
Obama because although I disagreed with
8:30
many of President Obama's judicial
8:33
nominees they were comparatively
8:37
moderate when put next to the radicals
8:41
that the Biden White House keeps putting
8:45
forward you look at judge Mustafa
8:50
casuai his questionnaire in history and
8:52
you would be forced to conclude that he
8:55
is a radical
8:57
leftist if not an outright
9:00
Marxist now those are not my
9:04
words in one essay he wrote katsui
9:08
argued that the integration of Marxism
9:10
with traditional economic theories of
9:12
property specifically that of Lock and
9:14
Bentham would quote provide a framework
9:17
for relationships that enhance each
9:20
unique
9:22
self here's a pro tip if a guy is
9:25
writing Love Letters to
9:28
Marxism Maybe he's not the best
9:30
candidate to be a federal
9:33
judge also in that same piece he argued
9:37
quote the aspiration towards intimate
9:40
knowing the intimate knowing of oneself
9:43
and others in our community is a
9:46
creative
9:47
struggle towards
9:50
redefining
9:53
property how many of y'all want to
9:55
redefine property and maybe the answer
9:58
is all the members of the committee on
9:59
the Democrat side
10:00
do your constituents
10:03
don't redefining property being told for
10:06
example the home your family home that
10:09
was your home and your mother's home and
10:10
your grandmother's home is no longer
10:12
your
10:13
property it is the states to do with
10:16
what they
10:17
will redefining property is an objective
10:20
of marxist Marxist and by Marxist I mean
10:26
communist communism is not simply
10:28
theoretical
10:30
my family has suffered at the hands of
10:35
Communists and yet in the Biden
10:38
Administration that appears to be a
10:40
qualification for becoming a federal
10:45
judge not
10:48
only are his views extreme but when it
10:51
comes to gender and
10:54
sex they're really out there in the
10:57
Wisconsin Women's Law Journal
11:00
judge casuai wrote a piece titled
11:02
destabilizing power in rape why consent
11:06
Theory and rape law is turned on its
11:08
head he cited radical Professor
11:11
Katherine McKinnon who argued quote
11:13
sexuality itself is a power web in which
11:16
heterosexual relations per se are
11:21
infused with violence and control and
11:23
that most
11:25
intercourse is rape
11:29
is it the position of the Democrats on
11:31
this committee that quote heterosexual
11:34
relations per se are infused with
11:36
violence and control and most
11:38
intercourses
11:40
rape that's moon beam
11:44
nuts and y'all know
11:47
that but there's a reason every Democrat
11:50
Senator is looking down because you
11:51
can't defend these views to your
11:53
constituents you're counting on the fact
11:55
that the corporate media will not tell
11:57
your constituents
11:59
about the loons you're voting to
12:03
confirm katsubi also an apparent
12:06
agreement quoted Professor McKennon as
12:09
saying quote I employ The View that rape
12:13
is sex in order to focus on the
12:16
significance of consent in rape law and
12:19
non-consent must be
12:22
presumed that's a lot of things but
12:24
that's not actually American criminal
12:27
law this guy has been nominated to be a
12:30
real judge applying the real
12:32
law katabi tied these two together in
12:35
the same article where he quoted quoted
12:38
approvingly from McKinnon the phrase
12:41
quote
12:43
sexuality is to
12:45
feminism what
12:47
work is to
12:50
Marxism now to be honest I don't know
12:52
what the hell that
12:53
means but I don't like
12:56
it it's out there what is it that make
12:59
you see this guy crowing about how
13:01
wonderful Marxism is and you say hot
13:03
digity damn we found us a
13:07
judge we also know that in his view Dei
13:11
diversity equity and inclusion will be
13:13
Central to his approach to the law how
13:15
do we know this well because he said
13:19
it then here's this quote Dei diversity
13:22
equity and inclusion is the heart and
13:25
soul of the court system
13:29
can we say that yeah I just did and I'm
13:32
saying it
13:36
proudly well Dei the radical anti-racism
13:39
school that Embraces discrimination says
13:41
we should
13:43
discriminate against people that are
13:45
perceived to be
13:47
oppressors in favor of people that are
13:50
categorized as
13:53
victims God help you if you're some poor
13:56
schlub white guy who ends up in court in
13:58
front of this guy
14:00
apparently the heart and soul of his
14:02
court is to discriminate against
14:04
you because that's what he's
14:08
embracing he's also said that America is
14:10
quote deeply
14:14
islamophobic
14:16
well we're the freest Nation on the face
14:19
of the
14:21
Earth and somehow he couldn't seem to be
14:23
bothered to worry about the Rabid
14:26
anti-Semitism that we're seeing at
14:28
radical schools across Ross this
14:31
country as the same kind of left
14:34
leftists like judge
14:36
katsubi are announcing their allegiance
14:39
to Hamas and terrorizing Jewish
14:43
students katab rulings on the bench are
14:46
also
14:48
extreme think
14:50
back to the 2020 black lives matter
14:53
antifa riots all across the country
14:55
major American cities
14:57
burned for week weeks for months on end
15:01
police cars were firebombed police
15:03
officers were murdered stores were
15:05
looted people were
15:07
assaulted in Portland
15:11
Oregon this was the Federal
15:15
Courthouse does that bring warm tinglies
15:18
about the fair enforcement of
15:23
Law Portland
15:26
Oregon the courthouse the Federal
15:29
Courthouse was subjected to a 60 day
15:32
Siege two
15:33
months rioter firebombed the
15:38
building they fought federal agents they
15:40
used high- powerered lasers to Blind
15:43
federal agents 60 days night after night
15:48
after night a federal court on
15:52
fire well what's judge katsu's view on
15:55
this he wasn't in Portland Oregon he was
15:57
in Eugene Oregon
16:00
as Eugene like the rest of the country
16:02
was facing risks from this riots U
16:04
Eugene imposed a temporary curfew to try
16:08
to impose Law and
16:10
Order what did Jet judge katabi do
16:13
number one he wrote an opinion
16:15
recommending the curfew be struck down
16:17
nope you can't have a
16:18
curfew the Night Belongs to the riers to
16:21
the people burning cour
16:23
houses not the people who'd like to be
16:25
safe in their own homes he went further
16:28
than than that he actually denied
16:30
qualified immunity to the city manager
16:32
and the police chief and said you know
16:34
what Mr police chief because you imposed
16:37
a curfew because you tried to protect
16:39
people's safety you can be
16:46
sued in effect he said sue them for
16:49
trying to keep the people safe and take
16:51
their last penny
16:59
I understand a Democrat Administration
17:01
and a Democrat Senate is going to
17:02
confirm liberal judges that should not
17:04
be
17:05
news what is
17:08
astonishing is not not a single Senate
17:10
Democrat on this
17:12
committee has been willing to
17:14
demonstrate even one iota of
17:17
Independence in exercising advice and
17:20
consent When Donald Trump was President
17:23
he nominated a lot of Judges y'all
17:24
didn't like the Trump judges you voted
17:26
against pretty much all of them
17:29
I will tell you I voted for most of them
17:32
but Republicans on this side there were
17:34
several judicial nominees that we said
17:36
no this doesn't meet the standards pull
17:38
it down and the Trump White House did
17:41
that's actually how the Constitutional
17:43
system is supposed to
17:44
work for whatever reason Democrats on
17:47
this committee don't believe in that no
17:49
matter what
17:51
nutcase gets nominated like the pollit
17:54
buau you all vote da
17:59
yesterday we had a Judicial nominee who
18:01
three years ago signed an open memo to
18:03
the governor of Connecticut calling on
18:05
him to empty the
18:08
prisons and release every violent
18:10
criminal in Connecticut release
18:12
murderers and serial rapists and child
18:15
molesters now that's not your
18:17
run-of-the-mill
18:19
Lefty that position is nuts I don't care
18:22
how leftwing your state
18:24
is California Vermont Georgia New Jersey
18:28
you can any of your States grab your
18:30
citizens and say hey what do you think
18:32
good idea we go down to the prison let
18:33
everyone
18:34
go nobody's going to like
18:38
that your citizens that you're elected
18:41
to represent will say what the heck is
18:43
wrong with
18:45
you this judge is a radical is
18:51
Extreme if he's confirmed we can count
18:54
on him to let violent criminals out of
18:56
jail and I'll tell you if Senate
18:59
Democrats continue to rubber stamp
19:00
whatever radical this White House sends
19:04
them people are going to
19:07
die when you release murderers from
19:10
jail they turn around and they commit
19:13
more
19:14
murders and when that
19:16
happens the work of this committee
19:19
rubber stamping putting extreme radicals
19:22
on the
19:24
bench will have been directly
19:27
responsible and I hope you're prepared
19:28
preped to look in the eyes of the
19:29
victim's
19:31
families of the people that will pay the
19:34
consequences of putting on the bench men
19:36
and women that are manifestly unsuited
19:38
to being
19:40
judges Mr
19:44
chairman Senator Kennedy Mr chairman I'm
19:47
not going to repeat what my colleague
19:48
Senator Cruz said about uh judge cabi
19:52
but
19:55
uh he's not qualified to be on the
19:57
federal bench
20:00
and and and everybody on
20:02
this in this hearing today knows that
20:05
you heard the same testimony I
20:09
heard he's entitled to his
20:12
beliefs look about about 90% of my
20:15
personal philosophy
20:17
is don't don't hurt somebody unless you
20:20
have to defend
20:21
yourself don't steal other people's
20:24
stuff and leave me
20:27
alone if if you you want to use
20:30
different
20:31
pronouns that is your business I may not
20:35
agree I may not do it but that's your
20:38
business this is America and you're free
20:41
to do
20:43
that but this judge used his
20:47
authority to require litigant in his
20:52
courtroom to do what he thinks is
20:55
politically correct and he did that as a
20:58
Magistrate
20:59
Judge and he'll do it as a federal
21:02
district judge and you know
21:04
it once again I don't care what his
21:07
political beliefs
21:08
are but he has no right as a sitting
21:13
judge to direct in writing litigant in
21:17
his courtroom to stand up and introduce
21:21
themselves by saying my name is John
21:24
Kennedy my preferred pronouns are
21:30
now the judge said in his testimony that
21:32
was voluntary that's not
21:35
true I've read the
21:39
order what and he said but it's
21:43
voluntary it's voluntary
21:47
right I'm a litigant in his
21:50
courtroom paying a lawyer $400 an hour
21:54
to try to get my case resolved and the
21:57
man on the bench who's going to decide
21:59
my case tells me to stand up and
22:02
announce my
22:04
pronoun that's not
22:07
voluntary that's
22:09
oppressive and that alone forget his
22:12
writings with Senator Cruz went through
22:15
very eloquently that alone tells me that
22:19
he cannot exercise power
22:23
maturely if I could vote no twice I
22:26
would
22:28
and on this final
22:31
point when President Trump nominated
22:34
people that weren't qualified to be on
22:37
the federal bench we killed those
22:41
nominations and several
22:44
people on your side of the aisle my
22:46
Democratic colleagues and on our side of
22:49
the aisle did
22:50
it by my account we killed five of them
22:54
dead as fried chicken and we didn't do
22:56
it behind closed doors we did it here in
22:59
the committee we demonstrated they
23:01
weren't
23:03
qualified now here's your
23:06
chance this man is not qualified to
23:09
exercise power as a federal judge it's
23:14
bad enough that he's a
23:17
magistrate thank you Mr
23:20
chairman judge cabai has responded to
23:23
the questions that have been raised on
23:24
this topic and I'd like to read his
23:26
response let me stay on equivocally as I
23:29
did during my hearing I am not and never
23:32
have been a Marxist I have never
23:34
espoused or subscribed to Marxist
23:36
theories rather I've been an active
23:38
participant in and beneficiary of the
23:40
American capitalist system as is clear
23:43
from my own Holdings a private property
23:45
and securities has detailed in the
23:46
statement of net worth provided to this
23:48
committee and there's more if you wish
23:50
to read it let me also notice that he
23:53
note that he has served for 16 years on
23:55
the state and federal bench and as a
23:57
neutral appell decision maker for four
23:59
years on the Oregon Workers Compensation
24:02
Board he has an ample record of service
24:05
as a judge and his philosophy has
24:07
demonstrated in any rulings that he has
24:10
uh handed down so in defense of Judge
24:12
casaba I think some of the charges are
24:14
being made are wildly
24:17
unsubstantiated Mr chairman may I be
24:19
heard for just 30 more seconds I've been
24:21
very generous to I know you have would
24:24
you be generous one more time I will go
24:26
ahead thank you thank you I I I I I
24:30
appreciate the judge's
24:32
response but we all heard his testimony
24:35
and we all all have read his
24:37
record and sometimes people don't tell
24:40
the truth in their responses I'm not
24:42
calling the man a liar I'm just saying
24:45
who you going to believe his written
24:47
responses probably crafted by the White
24:49
House lawyers or his testimony in
24:53
committee and we're I think what we're
24:56
going to see going forward
24:59
is more of this these types of exchanges
25:02
going on here
25:04
today uh when somebody's qualified to be
25:06
on the federal bench by God I will stand
25:09
up I don't care what party they are I
25:11
was the Lone democr Republican vote to
25:15
confirm a nominee from Tennessee I'm
25:17
almost done Mr chairman the L Republican
25:21
vote but from now on if we're going to
25:23
play it like this we're going to have a
25:25
debate on all of these nominees and talk
25:28
talk about their testimony in committee
25:30
and and and and who was forthcoming and
25:33

25:34
wasn't thank you Mr chairman you've been
25:36
