Elon Musk spent $288 million to get
0:03
Trump elected for four years, but
0:06
Barside spent $1.6 billion tax-free to
0:11
control America for a lifetime.
0:13
Definitely never heard of Barside, but
0:15
he's the reason why we have a
0:17
conservative Supreme Court right now.
0:19
Through some dark money magic, Barside
0:21
funneled $1.6 billion tax-free to a guy
0:25
named Leonard Leo. Now, Leonard Leo
0:27
personally picked Neil Gorsuch, Brett
0:30
Kavanaaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett for
0:33
Supreme Court justice. He also leads the
0:36
Federalist Society, which picked the
0:38
other three Supreme Court members,
0:40
Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas,
0:43
Samuel Alo, and Chief Justice John
0:45
Roberts. Batting six out of nine is an
0:49
incredible ratio for an office that
0:52
we're talking about last a lifetime. All
0:55
six of these people come from the
0:58
Federalist Society network. They were
1:00
trained and studied as law students.
1:03
Their legal arguments were written by
1:05
these organizations. Their nominations
1:08
for Supreme Court justice was bought
1:10
bought and paid for by these wealthy
1:13
donors. So what is the Federalist
1:16
Society? It's a legal organization or
1:19
cult if you don't want to be so nice
1:21
about it that was founded in the 1980s
1:24
by oil billionaires, tycoons, corporate
1:27
lawyers, Christian nationalists, all of
1:30
the people that stand to profit from an
1:32
America with conservative values. They
1:35
infiltrated Yale and Harvard and all of
1:37
these law schools teaching an
1:40
originalist way of interpreting the
1:42
Constitution, which is to say that
1:45
whatever is written literally on the
1:47
Constitution is exactly as the four
1:50
founders intended it. And of course, if
1:53
you graduated from the fifth grade, you
1:55
know this is not true because one of the
1:57
stellar things about the Constitution is
1:59
that it is an living document. They went
2:02
into these fancy colleges and got people
2:04
like Amy Coney Barrett to
2:06
intellectualize
2:07
a misinterpretation of the Constitution.
2:10
What we have of this 40-year plan, this
2:13
extensive network of the most elite and
2:16
powerful people in conservative America,
2:19
is the repealing of Roie Wade, the
2:21
gutting of voting rights act, the ending
2:25
of Chevron law, um the ruling against
2:28
nationwide injunctions, presidential
2:31
immunity, and pretty soon probably
2:34
congressional investigations of the
2:36
president. This is all part of the
2:38
Federalist Society's imperial president
2:41
agenda, right? They want to shrink
2:43
government. They want a smaller
2:45
government. They want more power for
2:48
corporations and corporate lobbyists.
