And now I'm our chief Washington correspondent.
I did the first 60 days or so of Trump 2.0.
It was this reporter who asked President Biden
on January 19, 2022, in his news conference in the East Room about the polling surrounding concerns over his cognitive decline.
And I was the first and only reporter to ask him about that for a good two and a half years, and I paid a high price inside the Biden White House for it.
Around the same time, I was the reporter, again, working for Newsmax, who asked former President Trump in March of 2023, I think it was, when he was running for president,
about the whether or not he would stay in the race if he were indicted one or more times in the cases that were then pending and he said absolutely i would never think of leaving and he said probably only enhance my numbers and he turned out to be right about all those things so i made headlines with both of those guys uh you know without fear of favor for ideological or partisan lines and that's what i've been doing as a reporter in washington since gosh 1999 now
Oh, yes.
And I know Hadley for sure.
I wouldn't go that far.
I think that they were fond of each other.
And Hadley Arcus is still with us.
And he is associated with the concept of natural law.
And Scalia loved natural law.
You know, natural law is distinct from Scalia's philosophy of originalism and textualism, which I hope we'll have a moment at some point here to explain, which is what makes Scalia not just an important Supreme Court justice, but really one of the most important Americans of the last hundred years.
The originalist believes in looking at the text of the law.
And the original meaning that a law or the Constitution held in its own time.
And that's what a judge should adhere to when interpreting the law, which is the central business of judges.
Natural law posits that there are rights that obtain even apart from textual analysis.
And when he would be asked about why doesn't he favor natural law, Scalia would answer in his famous Socratic method, he would say, who's natural law?
