After Assassin Failed, Leftists Attack Kavanaugh at Steakhouse

CLAY: Now, there has been a lot of discussion on this show — not that much in the mainstream media — about the attempted assassination of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh. It’s amazing how stories like these just disappear. He lives in Montgomery County, Maryland, which is just north of Washington, D.C., for people who are not that familiar with this area of the country. But increasingly, increasingly what you are seeing is Democrats saying…

Remember back in the day when Maxine Waters said it, “Go get in their faces! Make sure they are aware that you are furious with them.” Brett Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court term is over. He’s got a couple of young kids. He is out for dinner at Morton’s. Pretty good steak at Morton’s, Buck. Not gonna… Of the chain steak restaurants, right up at the top of the line. I’m a big Bourbon Steak guy if you ever been to a Bourbon Steak.

BUCK: The D.C. Morton’s is an institution. A lot of heavy hitters go there.

CLAY: So, the word gets out that he is there, and so he is eating in that restaurant, and I’m gonna read from Daniel Lippman, who I believe broke the news. “Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh had to exit through the rear of Morton’s on Wednesday night after D.C. protesters showed up out front. A Morton’s rep,” and, by the way, thank you to Morton’s for actually being willing to speak out here, “said, ‘Politics should not trample the freedom at play of the right to congregate and eat dinner.’” Here’s the official statement:

NEW: Justice Brett Kavanaugh had to exit through the rear of Morton’s on Wednesday night after DC protestors showed up out front. A Morton’s rep told me: “Politics … should not trample the freedom at play of the right to congregate and eat dinner.” https://t.co/wlA4J2nxYW pic.twitter.com/jpsfhB3JVo

“All other patrons at the restaurant…” I’ll read the full statement here: “Honorable Supreme Court Justice Kavanaugh and all of our other our patrons at the restaurant were unduly harassed by unruly protesters while eating dinner at our Morton’s restaurant. Politics, regardless of your side or views, shouldn’t trample the freedom at play of the right to congregate and eat dinner. There’s a time and place for everything. Disturbing dinner of all of our customers was an act of selfishness and void of decency.” Bravo, Morton’s, for actually teeing off here on these protesters. Again, I’m reading directly from their statement. Does this surprise you at all, Buck?

BUCK: No. This is a tactic that the Democrat left, the activists in it, have been using for years, and this is one of these times we get to say, “This isn’t a both-sides thing,” you know? If we were sitting here and there was some, you know, angry mob that chased Nancy Pelosi out of a restaurant when she was having dinner, I’d say, “Hey, guys, knock that off.”

CLAY: Don’t do that.

BUCK: That’s loser stuff. That’s what they do. That’s what the left, the crybabies, the whiners, that’s what they do. And people say, “Oh, but we need to be able to fight.” We need to fight intelligently, okay? We need to fight where it matters. The people who are doing this who are chasing Kavanaugh are only doing it because it makes them feel powerful and better and important. It’s not gonna do anything. It’s not gonna change Kavanaugh’s mind.

He’s not gonna all of a sudden give them the decisions that they want, which is why you see a need for Democrat leadership to say, “Knock this stuff off,” but they won’t do it. They won’t do it because we saw even when the law says they can’t do it they’ll make excuses for it. The protests outside of Supreme Court justices’ homes were illegal. It was illegal what was going on. It was a violation of the law, and it’s just so interesting.

That law doesn’t count because of Democrat politics. (mewling) “Meh, it will make us feel sad if we have to enforce that law.” Meanwhile, we’re waiting to hear about a possible suspension without pay for Border Patrol members who were on horseback who were alleged to have whipped migrants based on Democrats being unable to look at a photo and interpret it correctly. That, somehow, is the application of the law. That is somehow justice in their minds, ’cause Joe Biden is an imbecile who jumped on the politics of it and said, “They’ll face consequences!” Clay, the law either matters or it doesn’t. We write these things down for a reason in plain English.

CLAY: I’m glad you brought that up because I wish we’d hit this earlier in the week, and I had it flagged, and it fits perfectly here. The marshal of the Supreme Court, Gail Kirley — she’s in charge of the safety — wrote to Virginia and to Maryland saying, “It’s time to start enforcing these laws to limit protests outside of the justices’ homes,” and two of the justices live in the Maryland suburbs. This is unbelievable.

The Montgomery County executive — who would theoretically be partly charged with implementing the actual law, whose name is Elrich, last name Elrich — said, “If the court majority thinks these theatrics will distract people from their shredding of the Constitution, they don’t understand how seriously we take our rights” and he basically said that police shouldn’t be doing anything and they should be able — and then he continued. Buck, I thought this was crazy.

He said, “I think all you’ve gotta do is look at Putin’s Russia and get an idea of where you don’t want to go. This idea where people can’t gather together, and if you gather together, you’re gonna be arrested and taken, that’s not happening here. We need to make sure people don’t use protests as an excuse for silencing opposition.” He compared this to Vladimir Putin’s Russia! That’s where we are. Montgomery County, Maryland, otherwise great community.

I believe that’s Chevy Chase, Maryland, for those of you who have spent time in that area, Rockville, Maryland county very high and very left-wing community, bedroom community of Washington, D.C. You won’t be enforce the law and he compared a request that he enforce the law — Buck, for a Supreme Court justice who already had an assassination attempt against him in his county, he compared the request from the Supreme Court to enforce the law — and protect the justices, Kavanaugh in particular who can’t even go to Morton’s right now, as Vladimir Putin’s Russia.

BUCK: This is why every Democrat lecture we get about “our sacred democracy” and “the rule of law,” they suspend the rule of law on a whim whenever it interferes with the emotional needs of their politics. They do this all across the southern border and with illegal migration and illegal aliens continuing to flood across the border and stay here once they’ve gotten across the border. They did this with the riots of BLM in 2020. How many real serious prosecutions were there, for people engaged in riot violence, destruction?

CLAY: Virtually zero.

BUCK: Because they didn’t want to, because it didn’t really matter. And you see this all the way down to the level of individuals —

CLAY: They bailed ’em all out. Kamala Harris and company.

BUCK: Yeah, and then with the Supreme Court, you know, they’re saying, for decades they got so just shout at everybody, “It’s a constitutional right!” Well, now it’s not anymore, and what are they doing? Angry mobs chasing Supreme Court justices until they get what they want. How about they just learn to live like adults with the fact that they don’t get to have that anymore? “Sorry. Your favorite little legal toy has been taken away from you.

“The Supreme Court isn’t just a super legislature for you anymore,” and they can’t handle it. And their leadership is feckless and just full of cowards. I mean, they just simply do not care what people do in the name of a Democrat Party on a regular basis. This stuff is all normalized, by the way. They were doing this under the Trump administration. They chased Ted Cruz out of Fiola, a restaurant I know in D.C. By the way, Fiola also stood up for him, invited him back, said they were sorry. He chose to leave. So some of these restaurants do the right thing. They chased Sarah Huckabee out of a restaurant in Virginia. I forget the name. I don’t want to say it was the wrong name.

CLAY: I believe it was in left-wing, Virginia, which is a place you would think would not be — where Washington & Lee is. That’s where VMI is. If I remember correctly, I think that’s where they chased her out of.

BUCK: This is like the social media ban that happened with Twitter and Facebook. It only happens to one second, folks, okay? They do this, they have a culture of “We’re really upset so we’re gonna just chase and scream and act like savages.” Do the Democrats say, “Hey, guys, knock that off? We can beat them in the battlefield of ideas. We can actually make our case”? No. Nancy Pelosi, you know, has the servants probably send them a little letter of applause.

CLAY: We would be having continued discussions about the right-wing violence if there had been an attempted assassination of a Supreme Court justice on the left wing. The Montgomery County executive, even after an assassination attempt outside of Brett Kavanaugh’s house in his county, isn’t even willing to enforce existing law to help protect Kavanaugh and his family? Buck, you know this. I just… I can’t even imagine for Amy Coney Barrett, who has I think seven young kids, for Brett Kavanaugh, who has two. It’s one thing when you are the justice to get used to the fact that you might be harassed over it, but even the mob doesn’t come after families. Democrats will.

BUCK: You know, you heard so much about the January 6th riot — we need to — we really need to be focusing on using that word ’cause they use “insurrection” and we use it sarcastically but they used it so much that now I think it starts to slip into language. It wasn’t an insurrection, okay? Was a moronic… No intelligent person really believes that a bunch of angry protesters who started a riot were gonna overthrow the entire U.S. government, all right?

They need to get a grip. But you compare not just the outrage, the media coverage over that, the way that this has dominated the functioning of some parts of Congress and the federal government now for, what, 18 months? This is such a big deal for them. Clay, there was an attempted mass assassination of conservative members of Congress on a baseball field in Alexandria, Virginia, where congressmen were actually shot, right?

CLAY: Yes.

BUCK: Steve Scalise almost bled out on that field.

CLAY: Yep.

BUCK: It was a Bernie bro. This guy tried to kill, it was like a dozen members of Congress. Thank God there were a couple of Capitol Hill Police who were actually there who were able to respond. But we never hear about that anymore. That would have been the biggest… We have suffered nothing like it. You want to talk about sins of Civil War? Nothing like that in 150 years. We could have lost a dozen members of Congress in one day from left-wing political violence. Do you ever hear about that anymore? No, of course not.

CLAY: No. Because it’s not an honest discussion. But I just thought those quotes about asking someone to actually enforce the law to Vladimir Putin’s Russia, after an assassination attempt? That was beyond the pale from Montgomery County, and the executive who lives there. I mean, it’s disgraceful comments from anyone.

BUCK: Yes, that’s right, that’s the White House press secretary when asked about intimidation of a Supreme Court justice by an angry mob of lunatic Biden voters chasing, effectively, the Supreme Court justice out the back door of a restaurant because of the possibility of a full-on confrontation. She, the White House press secretary, wants you to know, “Yeah, you know, that’s just democracy. This is what Democrats believe,” even apparently when there are federal laws on the books to prevent, say, mobs from outside of Supreme Court justices’ homes, those laws don’t count. Meanwhile, you take a photo of yourself inside the Capitol Building at the wrong time you could be held in solitary confinement for, what, over a year. You could be treated like an Al-Qaeda terrorist.
