Machine generated transcript, expect errors

0:00
well what happened today is an outrage it is fundamentally wrong for the first
0:04
time we're seeing a Christian woman thrown in jail for standing up for her
0:09
faith I'll tell you I stand with Kim Davis unequivocally I stand with her and
0:13
anyone else that the government is trying to persecute for standing up for
0:17
their faith in this is fundamentally wrong and it's inconsistent with the
0:22
first amendment of the Constitution we are a nation
0:26
that was formed by people fleeing religious oppression and coming to seek
0:31
a land where we could worship free the government getting in the way and and it
0:34
is stunning
0:37
what is happening here cares what good does that the other side says that was
0:44
gonna say sorry for the other site says that she she can exercise her faith but
0:52
she can't she shouldn't be in this role her job is to issue marriage licenses so
0:57
it's an impossibility she can't just not issue them now that they're legal well
1:04
but that's fundamentally wrong the consequence of that statement that
1:08
standard is that Christians can hold public office or if they do they must be
1:13
willing to violate their faith or go to jail
1:16
that is not America that is not how this country works and let me point out to
1:21
all the politicians both both Democrats and Republicans who are studying that if
1:26
miss Davis doesn't doesn't want to follow this lawless judicial decree from
1:30
the supreme court that she should resign her office will we're having those
1:35
voices been calling for the mayor of San Francisco to resign who is declared San
1:41
Francisco a sanctuary city defying immigration laws American citizens have
1:45
been murdered by violent criminal illegal aliens because of the mayor's
1:49
violation of the law or where those voices calling for President Obama to
1:55
resign for six and a half years he has defied the law immigration law he has
2:00
defied welfare reform laws he defied his own Obamacare when the mayor of San
2:06
Francisco and President Obama resign then we can talk about Kim Davis White
2:11
House today and said no public official is above the law and yet you know you
2:15
had people online saying well what about the Attorney General of California who
2:18
is allowed the sanctuary city of San Francisco to stand unchallenged and so
2:21
on and yet let me let me ask you this because you know one of the most
2:25
persuasive
2:26
I think her detractors have the kentucky is that she was apparently offered
2:33
according to The New York Times the chance to just have her deputies do it
2:36
she wouldn't have to do it now would have to be under her authority should
2:39
have to allow them and the deputies were prepared to do it to issue licenses and
2:44
she said noting that so what are they supposed to do what are what are
2:47
same-sex couples supposed to do if you've got you know the head clerk
2:52
saying no one can do it because of my religious beliefs but maybe that's not
2:59
right under Kentucky law number one her name would be on it regardless and she
3:02
saying it's inconsistent with her faith to put her name to it to being part of
3:07
this now I would point out that under Kentucky law individuals can go in any
3:12
other county and and and and get married but beyond that listen this decision
3:17
from the Supreme Court on marriage was fundamentally illegitimate Chief Justice
3:22
Roberts observed in dissent quite powerfully this is not connected to the
3:27
Constitution this is not from the constitution and justice scalia let me
3:30
let me observe every Buehler recommend for every one of your viewers to read
3:35
justice scalia's powerful descent where he predicted this marriage decision was
3:40
so lawless was so much judicial activism that state and local officials could be
3:46
expected to defy that's what justice scalia said now all the commentators are
3:50
saying they're shocked that she's doing exactly what justice scalia said it's
3:55
not the job as Justice Scalia said 05 unelected lawyers to be the rulers of
4:01
three hundred and twenty million americans and then the claim
4:04
illegitimately the authority to strike down the marriage laws of all fifty
4:08
states that is lawless right now that is the law of the land and kim davis sits
4:14
in a jail for an undetermined amount of time senator crews thank you tonight
4:18
good to see you thank you make a great to be with you
