Dave Rubin of “The Rubin Report” talks to Mike Lee, the U.S. Senator for Utah, about his book “Saving Nine”, the Democrats plan to pack the court, the possible identity of the Supreme Court leaker, why the REINS act may be the most important piece of unpassed legislation, and why some Republicans decided to vote for the controversial Ukraine spending bill. First, Mike discusses why the Democrats' demands to pack the Supreme Court are so incredibly dangerous. He clearly explains why any attempt to expand the amount of Supreme Court justices is destined to backfire.He also explains the massive damage done to the court the last time Supreme Court packing was tried by FDR. Next, Mike discusses Ketanji Brown Jackson’s Supreme Court confirmation process and on what grounds he would vote against a nominee. He also discusses the Supreme Court leak and some of the little known secrets that he learned when he was a Supreme Court clerk. He also explains why the Alito leak is such an unprecedented moment in the court’s history.

He also discusses how many more Americans have become conservative after being exposed to the realities of how much power bureaucracies like the CDC and the FDA have over their lives and how the REINS act would be an unprecedented weapon in regulatory reform.
