Partisan Judges, Florida Politics & No Place(s) For Pride – Top 3 Takeaways, September 3rd, 2025

The Bible points out that ‘pride’ never works out in the end. That’s probably an indication of how this saga will end to. 

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:03):
Welcome to the Brian Mud Show. Thanks for listening. Passion
plus talent is unstoppable. It's time for today's Top three takeaways.
Partisan judges, ford to politics, and no place for pride.
So my top takeaway for you today, Show me the
judge and I'll tell you the ruling. Show me the

(00:25):
judge and I'll tell you the ruling. This President Trump
in the Oval Office yesterday, we're going to be asking
for early admittance where we're going tomorrow and we're going
to ask for expedited and expedited ruling. And what are
you specifically talking about there at the tariffs? So on Friday,
heading into the Labor Day weekend, you have the USPLS
Corps that said, and most of your tariffs are gonzo

(00:49):
and Trump yesterday saying and today meaning he said yesterday
or tomorrow, but it will be today. We're going to
the United States Supreme Court asking for an expedited ruling
on this matter. Just kind of like, you know, a
reminder here, the tariffs are still in effect the way
they were. The appeals court ruling was stayed until October fourteenth,

(01:12):
pending appeal to the United States Supreme Courts. In real time,
nothing's changed that way, but it obviously has had a
big impact, including the President talked about this stock market
yes day. Financial markets are like, what the heck do
we do with this? So that is the basis under
which Trump is going to the Supreme Court. But related
to all of this kind of law fair stuff, all

(01:34):
of the lawsuits, all the legal stuff involving Trump, if
you show me the judge, I will tell you the ruling.
And in theory, when it comes to the jititiary, the
party of the president appointing the federal judges really shouldn't
be the biggest key in determining how they're going to
rule on policy. Right, It really shouldn't be if law matters.

(01:54):
I mean, after all, the law is the law right,
and while there's often great territory that tested interpretations of
the law applied to a set of circumstances, it really
shouldn't be all that different. But the fact of the
matter it is we know this. On yesterday show, I
mentioned this that as of today, this was yesterday, there
have been three hundred and eighty four lawsuits filed against

(02:16):
Team Trump's administration, for an average of greater than one
point seven new lawsuits per day suing has become the
new form of law fare by the left. Also aided
by having a majority of Democrat appointed judges and federal courts,
they've been highly effective in getting at least temporary victories
until decisions have been heard by higher courts upon appeal.
In total, out of the three hundred and eighty four lawsuits,

(02:39):
only twenty five have led to the subject of the
suits being permanently blocked, with an additional seventy seven currently
leading to temporary blocks of Trump's agenda, with eighteen currently
pending appeal. In other words, President Trump's agenda has held
up to legal scrutinies sixty nine percent of the time
thus far. So, I mean it's only been a day, right,

(03:01):
not too much. However, we are up to three hundred
and eighty nine lawsuits. So yeah, just yesterday you had
five more betteral lawsuits filed against the Trump administration. So
apparently some of those leftist attorneys were out there, you know,
like in the protest line on the Labor Day. They
came out and they're like, and now we get some

(03:22):
new lawsuits. There also was one more decision, and since
that even overnight, a second decision that has been handed
down by a Democrat judge against the Trump administration. Why
should we want to deport MS thirteen or you know
people right trend Day, I ragua, Why would we want
to get rid of them? You know, I think that

(03:43):
the Trump administration figure out the better angle. You got
all these Democrat judges like, no, we got to keep
trend Day ragua. He if we're going to keep any
illegal immigrants, keep the terrorists illegal immigrants, right, So just
shooting them out of the water probably not a bad idea, right,
I'm just thinking out loud here since that happened yesterday.
So yeah, speaking of yesterday, Federal Judge Charles bar San Francisco,

(04:09):
the brother of a former Supreme Court Justice Stephen Byer,
ruled against the Trump administration's use of the National Guard
to combat riots in la earlier this year. Now, if
all you knew about this judge was who his brother is,
you could probably guess how that decision would have gone
before it even came in, Right, And that's the sad

(04:29):
part here, you'd be right. This ruling led to me
doing a little more digging than what I brought you previously.
I think this is especially compelling research took me all
the way back to the onset of the first Trump administration.
And what percentage of the time do you think Democrat
appointed judges have cited with Trump in a decision all

(04:53):
the way back to the first term. So over four
and a half years across two terms so far, what
percentage of the time? And the survey says sixteen percent.
It's actually a little bit better than when Joel was thinking. Yeah,
I was going, please don't be this low, but five Yeah.

(05:17):
And when Republican appointed judges have reviewed the same material
as the Democrat appointed judges, what's happened? Oh, they've been
two hundred and eighty one percent more likely to side
with Trump. Again, why does this happen? Same lawsuit, same material,
same law And so the reason why the Trump administration

(05:42):
is seemingly always fighting an uphill fight is because seventy
two percent of the cases that have been brought have
been brought to Democrat appointed judges. First, my second takeaway
for you today a blaze of glory. My name is
Blaize Golia. I speak four languages, English, profoundity, starcasm, and

(06:04):
really I'm running for Chief Financial Officer because I am
done watching taxpayers get screwed by government's gone wild. We'll
be having Blaze on the show this morning. Joel, have
your hand on that dumb button just in case you know.
Uh so. I'm not sure an appointed politician has ever

(06:26):
made a more immediate impact in the state of Florida
than the new CFO and Chief Fire Marshall Blaze and
Golia with his state wide doge auditor in full swing.
I'm not sure I've seen any state wide campaign come
out swinging harder than Blaze's official rollout for CFO yesterday.
He of the four languages he speaks, he delivered his
trademark no nonsense kind of style and message, and that included,

(06:48):
by the way, a full embrace of the elimination of
home set of property tax. It's something he already talked
with us about on the show, but he is He's
coming out swinging on that as part of his campaign.
He currently faces two GP challengers in the race that's
ultimately going to be on next year's midterm ballot. However,
that number is no longer at three as potentially a

(07:09):
stiffest competition, and Trump backed Joe Gruers no longer running
for the posts, taking over as national chair at the GOP.
SO there are two themes to watch in Florida's Republican
politics over the next year. One will Florida's Republican voters
choose to support an end to homestead of property taxes
or to continue with the status quo now. The second

(07:35):
is the influence of President Trump with all seawide offices
and potentially at odds with Governor de Santis. Will the
Trump DeSantis feud continue? Will Trump get behind Blade in
this particular In reality, the candidates for governor and CFO
will be on the ballot at the same time as
a proposed amendment to end to property taxes if the

(07:56):
state legislature follows three with passing the proposed amendment to
voters next November. However, the primary performance of Republican candidates
on the property tax issue probably will have a lot
to say with whether homestead of property taxes are going
to go away or if we'll continue to pay come
twenty twenty seven. By the way, related standby for a

(08:17):
notable goovenatorial bid that is going to be announced today
and we'll have an interview with that candidate on tomorrow's show.
My third takeaway for you today, no place for pride.
This was Governor DeSantis commenting on this issue in Orlando yesterday.
So they just decide they don't like the law, they

(08:38):
want to do what they want to do. That just
isn't going to fly. Yeah. So, you know, funny little
thing about the whole Constitution and kind of the way
the system of government in this country works generally. Right,
So there are state's rights tenth Amendment all that. Yep.
When do states not retain a ton of policy? That's

(09:02):
when it contradicts federal policy, right, in which case the
supremacy clause says, what, well, the federal policy wins. Local
governments have autonomy to govern as they see fit in
the state of Florida, right, Okay, except when, well, when
that policy contradicts state policy. Right. These are not complicated concepts.

(09:24):
This would be like civix one on one kind of territory. Now,
as we take a look at the whole pride situation here,
as Proverbs says, when pride comes, then comes disgrace. But
with the humble is wisdom. Now, in Tuesday's administrative hearing
with the City of Delray Beach contesting the Florida Department

(09:44):
of transportations to order to take down their pride themed
mural at the intersection of Northeast First treet in Northeast
Second Avenue. They were granted more time and Tuesday's hearing,
the deadline was extended until Friday for the city and
the states to some of addition materials to support their cases.
This means the mural survives for at least another few days.

(10:05):
Delray Beach Vice Mayor Rob Long, who has been trying
to make a name for himself as he runs for
the Florida House he vacated by the late Joe Casella,
trying to make the cays that it's trespassing or destruction
of property for the FDOT to apply proper traffic markings
on a city street instead of, you know, the homosexual
alphabet's agenda. So Governor de Santis sounded off on Tuesday

(10:29):
as well, saying part of what you heard there that
I've played for you, but also now there's Delray Beach,
there's Key West. They have basically taken the position, even
though the law is what it is, and even though
FDOT has issued guidance that they should just be able
to do whatever they want, that's not the way the
system of government operates correct. So today the pride display

(10:50):
will not go away, and actual traffic markings will not
be restored. A lot of taxpayer money will continue to
be spent in Delray Beach, which by the way, has
now retained an attorney to fight the state in the
matter as well. So the Bible points out that pride
never works out in the end, never does, never has

(11:11):
in world history. That's probably an indication of how this
saga is going to end to
