Speaker 1 (00:01):
In some very important international news the Prime Minister of Israel,
Benjamin Netanya, who met with Donald Trump at the White House.
But one of the biggest things that came out of
the conversation was some breaking news that Donald Trump announced
about having direct talks with Iran over their nuclear weapons program.
(00:22):
The present saying this at the White House, sitting next
to bb.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
We're having direct talks with Iran and they've started. It'll
go on Saturday. We have a very big meeting and
we'll see what can happen. And I think everybody agrees
that doing a deal would be preferable to doing the obvious,
and the obvious is not something that I want to
(00:48):
be involved with, or frankly that Isya wants to be
involved with if they can avoid it. So we're going
to see if we can avoid it. But it's getting
to be very dangerous territory. And hopefully those talks will
be successful, and I think it would be Intern's best
interests if they are successful. We hope that's going to happen,
(01:10):
and we had just a lot of good talks on
a lot of things.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
Have Now as President Trump was saying this in the
Oval Office, Reuters came out with an exclusive report saying
that Iran back militias in Iraq are ready to disarm
to avert what they describe as a Trump wrath. That's
right coming out of Baghdad. Several powerful Iranian backed militia
groups in Iraq are prepared to disarm for the first
(01:35):
time to avert the threat of an escalating conflict with
the US Trump administration. That is what ten senior commanders
and Iraqi officials said to Reuters. The move to diffuse
tensions follows repeated warnings issued privately by US officials to
the Iraqi government since Trump took power in January. According
(01:57):
to sources who include six local commanders of four major militias,
the officials told Baghdad that unless it acted to disband
the militias operating on its soil, America could target the
groups with air strikes. A senior Muslim politician close to
Iraq's government's alliance also towed Reuters that discussions between the
(02:21):
Prime Minister and several militia leaders were quote very advanced,
and the groups were inclined to comply with US calls
for disarmament. The factions are not acting stubbornly or insisting
on continuing in their current form, he said, adding that
the groups were fully aware they could be targeted by
(02:42):
US air strikes. The six militia commanders interviewed in Baghdad
by Reuters at a southern province who requested obviously eminemity
to discuss the sense of situation, are from multiple different groups,
many of them also at ties to Iran. Trump is
ready to take the war with us to worse levels.
(03:03):
We know that, one of the commanders said, and we
want to avoid such a bad scenario. The most powerful
Sheite militia also saying that it's time for us to
find a way to work together.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
You cannot make this up. Why are they doing this now?
Speaker 1 (03:19):
Because they've witnessed what the president's doing with other leaders
that he decides to take out isis leaders, and the
President making it clear that if you don't get a
deal now, well you're probably going to end up dead.
The commander said, their main ally and patron, Iran's elite
Revolutionary Guards military force has given them its blessing to
(03:40):
take whatever decisions they deem necessary to avoid being drawn
into a potentially ruinous conflict with the United.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
States and Israel.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
So the moral of the story is even Iran's military
understands that right now is not a time to mess
with the Try administration, and this may be exactly why
they're willing to talk directly with the Trump administration to
avert military strikes from a president that says he's not bluffing.
Now even CNN is reporting about the fact that the
(04:15):
US is having these nuclear talks with Iran. Mike Ran
appeared on CNN's The Source with Caitlin Collins to discuss
the talks, and here's what he said about the reporting.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
My source tonight is the former Israeli Ambassador to the US,
Michael Orrin, Ambassador, thank you for being with US and
President Trump. He wasn't willing to say right that the
US would strike Iran's nuclear facilities. That is, of course
what Israel has long push for. What do you expect
the US to do if discussions fail.
Speaker 5 (04:47):
Well, one thing that President Trump has done, to be honest,
he put the military option back on the table a
President Biden had taken it off the table, so it's
clearly on the table with the audience understand it's on
the table. But also, according to the reports tonight, for
the first time, as you said, in a decade direct
talks between the United States and Iran, because during the
Biden administration the talks were indirect. So that is already
(05:07):
a step well from the Iranian perspective, a step forward.
Though we should say that the Iranians are kind of
denying that.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
That's right.
Speaker 4 (05:13):
The Iranian Foreign Minister is saying that these are indirect
high level talks. So that's a different story.
Speaker 5 (05:19):
What do you make of that. It's a different story.
But the essence is that there's talks, and the talks
then are going to raise some very serious questions on
the Israeli side. My gut feeling tells me that what
brought Primasi nets and now to Washington on such short
notice wasn't just the tiriffs, and the tariffs are serious.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
It's about two and a half.
Speaker 5 (05:35):
Billion dollars worth of trade from Israel's side at a
time when the Israeli economy is very vulnerable because of
the war. But what really brought him here was the
Iranian the notion that the understanding that these talks are
about to take place apparently on next Saturday, and there
are three major questions that Israel's going to be asking
how long the talks are going on for. You know,
the Iranians are really good negotiators. They'll drag it out
(05:56):
at a time when the Russians are rebuilding the ear
defenses in Iran that were knocked out by the Israeli
Air Force. Big question. Second one is what's the goal
of the talks? Is the goal of a talks an
agreement similar to the twenty fifteen Obama Iran agreement which
basically froze the Iranian program for about a decade, but
didn't dismantle the program. And the third question is, as
(06:19):
the President says, what if the talks don't work, what
is the next step? Will the United States then support
is really military action against Iran to stop that program?
Will the United States join in that military action as
the President seems to intimate that would be the case.
But these are crucial questions that Israelis will look to
get answers from from the White House.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
Why do you think the Trump administration could strike a
better deal than the Obama administration.
Speaker 5 (06:44):
Well, first of all, because of the credibile military threat.
Obama had all options on the table, you remember, but
I don't think people actually believed it I think that
now with the United States bombing the hoodies the way
they have, that's sending a message to Iran, a rather
uncliitical message that this administration willing to use force to
a degree that previous administrations. I certainly some previous democratic
administrations were unwilling to use that type of force. And
(07:07):
the ruddiance are aware, how should we say this, This
is president is not predictable in that way, and that
Iranians like predictability. They don't like dealing with the uncertainty
that Dousident Trump could turn around and give that order
to those B two and B one and B fifty
two bombers to go into Iranian skies.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
By the way, I love how they act, like Donald
Trump being strong against Iran getting a nuclear weapon in
the Middle East is somehow like impredictability from Donald Trump,
Like isn't this exactly what you want a president to do?
Because Iran knew that the military option had been taken
off the table. You just heard that from the former
(07:46):
Israeli ambassador of the US. He said in the last administration,
Iran was one hundred percent sure that military use was
not going to be done against them. In other words,
you can do what you want to do, and yeah,
there may be some sanctions again and some other stuff,
but you don't have to worry about actual military action.
So that's number one here. That is a I think
(08:07):
a really really really important point to make. The second
important point that also needs to be made here is this.
You have a president now that is saying all options
are on the table.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
If you choose to.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Go in a different direction than what we're telling you
you need to do, this is up to Iran if
they want to be in that situation, if they want
to be in that scenario. And I think that is
the point that's clearly being made by this administration is
the days of you.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
Getting to dictate they are over.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
The days of you getting closer to a nuclear weapon,
they're over. If you want to play this game of
chicken with the United States of America with the Trump administration,
it's a very deadly game. I actually go back to
what was said earlier, you know when the President said
we're having these direct talks. That is a good thing, right,
(09:02):
He's saying, we're talking directly. We are sitting down and
we are talking directly. Donald Trump is dead serious about
this was another way that it was described earlier today
on Fox News Channel, they're saying he's not joking and
everyone in the Middle East knows it.
Speaker 6 (09:19):
Yeah. Absolutely, you can penetrate an iPhone.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
Let's talk about Iran.
Speaker 7 (09:22):
The President clearly changing strategy from the Biden administration and
even you know, making a very forceful declaration in his
letter that you're going to get We're open to talks Iran,
but you're gonna have to dismantle your nuclear program and
you have two months to agree to the talks. This
is a big change in policy. And how do you
read it? Is he President really serious about this?
Speaker 6 (09:46):
I think he's dead serious about this, and no doubt
in my mind whatsoever. He's issued an ultimatum, and he's
very clear about it. He wants voluntarily dismantling the program,
verified by outside inspectors, and he wants it done by
a date certain and that is the right approach to this.
And then he's told them very clearly that there will
(10:08):
be grave consequences if you don't do it. They know
what that means. It's likely and it has rarely led
US supported airstrike to forcefully dismantle that program. And that's
the path we are on and I absolutely think that
the President coming in, even though it's early in his administration,
sending this unequivocal message to Iran that your day of
(10:32):
being the Malian aggressor in the Middle East and also
funding all your proxies to destabilize the Middle East, it's
over and Iran is back on its heels Paul and
the way they haven't been in forty four years. The
President's team knows it, and they're in pursuit of stopping
what Iran has been doing all of these years, and
(10:52):
a nuclear enterprise will be a significant blow to them.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
This is why I love a commander in chief that
just isn't screwing around on national security, on tariffs, on
foreign policy.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
He's just not going to screw around. And you can
hear it.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
In the way that the White House talks about this.
We're willing to speak to you directly. We're willing to
talk directly, We're willing to negotiate directly. But to be clear,
we're not going to allow you to get a nuclear weapon.
We're not going to allow you to continue to send
massive amounts of funds to these terrorists organizations, whether they
(11:38):
are in Iraq, or in Syria, or the Hamas or
hesblat and undermine and kill innocent men, women, children in Israel.
I also think it's very important that a lot of
this conversation took place side by side with net Yahoo
in the Oval Office, with the President making it clear
we are unified together. He also said over and over
(12:01):
again he believes that they have the right okay, they
have the right to defend themselves. In translation, would allow
Israel to defend itself and protect itself at all costs,
meaning America would support you, We would give you what
you need. We would probably be involved in some capacity,
(12:23):
maybe even in the attack, to make sure that Iran
is kept in check. What's also shocking to me is
just how close Iran got and is right now to
a nuclear weapon because the last administration allowed them to
get that close because they took the military option off
(12:44):
the table. There has been a story that has been circulating,
and it's one that we're going to debunk right now.
It's that Republicans are going to break with the President
and destroy what he's doing on tariffs. Well, James Langford
set the record straight, saying he doesn't think that's gonna
(13:04):
happen on Capitol Hill at all. He said, if anything
is stopping the president will be lawfair in the court system.
You're noticing a trend with law fair, right, take a
list in the Center in his own words from Oklahoma.
Speaker 8 (13:18):
So, I think the president's challenge is not going to
be Congress. There'll be members of Congress saying, hey, this
needs to be able to come back to Congress as
it typically does. I think it's gonna be challenging the
courts quite frankly, because its novel is new. It's a
different way to actually take on the tariffs. And so
I think the courts are going to jump in and say,
we want to be able to take a look at this.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
So there is a center saying, guess what, what you're
being told by the media is yet again another lie
to undermine President Trump and his job as the commander
in chief. Now, the Center also said, yes, there is
an attempt in Congress to quote rein in the president's
capability to manage tariffs, but quote, I don't think this
(13:57):
bill will have an impact on it at all. Senate
narrowly approved a tarff control bill, which could not have
won approval if it was not for the support of
four Republicans, there's a little chance the bill will get
majority support in the House. Trump also still has veto
control of the bill should it win full approval. You
(14:18):
can't make this up, Lankford said. The big pictures that
Trump is on the right course, and he believes his
constituents will see the benefits as well, saying, quote, he's
not wrong definitely that China is ripping us off, and
that we've got bad trade issues all over the world.
And I'm looking forward to lots of new negotiated trade
agreements all around the world because my farmers and ranchers
(14:40):
are folks that do production of lots of different equipment here.
They want to be able to sell all over the world.
They want to be able to have fair markets. Now,
President Trump also getting in on the action at the
White House today. He was taking questions with net and Yahoo,
and he was asked by the media about the tear.
(15:00):
There was a story that started to circulate that Donald
Trump was quote looking at pausing at the tariffs. Well,
Donald Trump said, guess what, that's not true, and here's
the present in his own words, any questions, but.
Speaker 7 (15:12):
The President.
Speaker 9 (15:16):
To the markets today and would you be open to
a pause in tariffs to allow for negotiation.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Well, we're not to look at it that. We have many,
many countries that are coming to negotiate deals with us,
and they're going to be fair deals, and in certain
cases they're going to be be paying substantial tariffs, they'll
be fair deals. So you know, I spoke this morning
with the Prime Minister of Japan and we had a
(15:41):
very good conversation.
Speaker 10 (15:42):
They're coming and.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
I said, one thing, you're going to have to open
up your country because we sold no cars, like zero
cars in Japan, and they sold millions of cars into
our country. They don't really take our agriculture, a little
bit of it just to keep us slightly happy, but
they don't take what this of us to take. And
so we have a great relationship with Japan. We're going
to keep it that way. But they're coming in to meet,
(16:05):
and other countries are coming in with China, as you know,
against my statement, they put a thirty four percent tariff
on above what their ridiculous tariffs were already. And I said,
if that tariff isn't removed by tomorrow at twelve o'clock,
we're putting a fifty percent tariff on above the tariffs
(16:27):
that we put on. So they've gone for years, they've
become a rich country because of people, again that we're
in the White House, that allowed this to happen. Hundreds
of billions of dollars here that'd make an ust on
trade and it shouldn't be that way. And I have
a great relationship with presidency. I hope it's going to
stay that way. I have great respect for China, but
(16:48):
they can't do this. We're just we're going to have
one shot at this, and no other president's going to
do this what I'm doing. And I'll tell you what,
it's an honor to do it because we have been
has just destroyed what they've done to our system. You know,
we have thirty six trillion dollars of debt for a reason,
and the reason is that people allowed it to get
(17:10):
that way. So we'll be talking to China, We'll be
talking to a lot of different countries, and I think,
you know, if if we can make a really fair
deal and a good deal for the United States, not
a good deal for other this is America first. It's
now America first. And we didn't put America first. We
(17:30):
put America lasts. The people that were in the Oval
Office put America lest and we're not going to stand
for it.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
So if you want to know who's on your side,
it's clearly the President of the United States of America. Yes,
the media is having to lie, manipulate and change the
headlines and tell you it's all doom and gloom, and
then line say the President's going to stop the tariffs,
Pause the terraffs back down from the tariffs, show weakness. Well,
I think it's pretty clear now from what the President
said in the White House none of that is actually
(17:59):
going to happen.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
Now.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
The tariff guru at the White Auis is a guy
by the name of Peter Navarro. He went out on
the ingram Angle Show on Fox News Channel to talk
to average investors, many people like you and I that
invest for our retirement. And yes, it is a little
bit scary right now. It's concerning to see what's happening
on Wall Street. Well, here is the message from Pier
(18:23):
Navarro to all of us.
Speaker 11 (18:25):
You heard the billionaire class. Many of these people did
in the end support President Trump, but you might as
well have thought we were on the verge of breadlines
in the United States today.
Speaker 12 (18:35):
Well, I think in the end they supported Trump. I mean,
they're just like trying to put their bets whatever. Look,
here's the thing I want to say to small investors.
Don't panic. They want you to sell. You can't take
a loss until you sell. And what I see is
fifty thousand on the Dow. I predicted in twenty sixteen
(18:57):
the day after President got elected. Back then, when the
dead futures were dead red down, I said we're going
to go to twenty five thousand. I got that exactly right,
We're going to fifty. But more importantly, with the S
and P five hundred, the games we've had over the
last couple of years have been basically seven stocks, the
magnificent seventy ais. Most of the stocks in the S
(19:18):
and P five hundred have gone nowhere. Now they're going
to go crazy. They're going to go so bullish because
we're bringing our investment home. The other thing I want
to say is we've got countries coming to us, Laura
with these zero zero It's like, well, we'll put our
tariffs down. Finally, if you'll put yours down, that's not
the big problem.
Speaker 6 (19:37):
Why did that.
Speaker 11 (19:37):
Romer get going today that that Kevin Hassett, who's been
regular on the show, had floated that.
Speaker 12 (19:44):
Well zero zero watched Kevin.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
Why did that say?
Speaker 11 (19:49):
That sent the market back up?
Speaker 12 (19:51):
Because what they're trying to do they're out in globalism
land is shake the knees of the American people and
the president.
Speaker 11 (20:00):
President Trump's confidences exactly right.
Speaker 12 (20:02):
But it's not working. It's not as the president knows
that we've been getting ripped off for years.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
If you go back to.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
I love Navarro because it's not working, right, it's not
working on the president, it's not working.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
This is dumb.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
It is not working because he understands his job. There's
also another question that he was asked about a recession.
Does he believe that a recession is coming? That's one
of the big plays we're hearing now from Democrats. Oh
the president's running us into a recession. Well, Navarro had
this to say, the American voters as well.
Speaker 12 (20:35):
And we get stuck with a hindsight.
Speaker 11 (20:38):
It's it's just doesn't Why do you think the market
might turn around?
Speaker 12 (20:41):
It's finding a bottom now, it's finding a bottom now,
but look, here's the thing.
Speaker 3 (20:47):
It's going to shift over.
Speaker 12 (20:49):
And it's going to be companies in the S and
P five hundred who are the first to produce here.
Those are the ones going to lead to recovery. And
it's going to happen Dow fifty thousand. I guarantee that,
I guarantee no recession. Okay, Why because when we pass
the biggest broadest tax cut in history within a matter
of months, that's going to be a great stimus. There's
(21:10):
not going to be any inflation. We've already had a
significant drop, a huge drop in oil prices war that's
like a point off the CPI. We're going to have
lower yields and mortgage.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
Now, one of the things that Peter talked about there
is this recent development that has led to a significant
decrease in gas prices across the United States of America.
As of April to seventh, the nationwide average for a
gallon of regular gasoline stands at three dollars and twenty
five cents. That is a massive drop from previous weeks. Now,
(21:43):
why is this happening. There's a couple of key factors
to the decline. Number One, tariffs induced economic uncertainty, and
so what did that mean? Well, the present made it
very clear that for him to be able to do
what he's doing on tariffs, he need to make sure
the price of oil drop, the price of gas would drop.
He's done this by opening up and allowing for America
(22:04):
to become energy independent.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
Yet again that's been a huge factor in this.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
We've also seen an increase because of that in oil production,
and so you're looking at the organization of patrolling exporting
countries and it's Allies OPEC. Plus they've also decided to
accelerate the restoration of oil production cuts, leading to an
oversupply in the market and further driving down oil price
(22:28):
as well. And then you've got the issues with seasonal
demand fluctuations where we're past spring break, we're not to
summer yet that's also a big deal. You combine all
of this together, and what it means is from a
major economic implication, lower gas prices are offering immediate relief
to consumers, they may also signal underlying economic challenges as
(22:52):
well for many Americans who are now looking at cheaper
things like gas as a way to breathe a little
bit of really, so this is part of why Navar said, Look,
we're not going into a recession. So you can believe
the media who keeps lying to you, or you can
listen to President United States of America and his team.
We know what we're doing and we know how to
(23:13):
win on these issues. It is a major victory for
law and order when it comes to the President Donald
Trump having power to do his job. The Supreme Court
of the United States lifted a block from the US
District Judge James Boseburg, which was law fair preventing the
Trump administration from deporting suspected illegal alien gang members. They
(23:37):
were doing this under the seventeen ninety eight Alien Enemies Act. Now,
this ruling from the Supreme Court is a massive win
for President Donald Trump and most importantly for the rule
of law in this country. It's also a massive win
for his administration because now they can actually do their jobs.
Speaker 3 (23:56):
It was described quote.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
As a narrow and focused on the upper venue for
the cases, rather than on the administration's use of a
century's old law to justify its decision to deport suspected.
Speaker 3 (24:09):
Illegal alien gang members.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
That according to The New York Times, So even when
the President gets a huge victory from the Supreme Court,
just know the hacks of the New York Times are
still going to lie to you about the premise of
the ruling. Per the New York Times, it was a
five to four decision. Happens all the time, by the way,
and the Supreme Court justice found that the migrants had
(24:35):
improperly challenged their deportations in Washington, d C. When they
should have challenged him in Texas where they were being
held quote unquote from the Times. Now, the real headline
should have been this, the Supreme Court sides with the
Trump administration and will allow them to continue removing Venezuela
and Transdiragua gang members from the country under the Alien's
(24:57):
Enemies Act. But no, the media couldn't actu tell you
the story the honest way. In a post on x
the Attorney General Pam Bondi responded to the Supreme Court
decision and described it as a landmark victory for quote
the rule of law. Bondi continued, saying this, an activist
judge in Washington, DC does not have the jurisdiction to
(25:19):
seize control of President Trump's authority to conduct foreign policy
and keep the American people safe. The Department of Justice
will continue fighting in court to make Americas safe.
Speaker 3 (25:32):
Again.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
Trump also asked the Supreme Court to allow the federal
government to deport suspected illegal alien gang members under the
Alien Enemies Act, and in March, Trump invoked the Alien
Enemies Act to allow for the expedited removal of illegal
Venezuelan migrants who were suspected of being members of that
dangerous gang, the transda Agua gang also that has been
(25:55):
designated as a terrorist organization. These are terrorists at the
President's trying to get rid of. This was a massive
victory for the President and it's one that the media
will not tell you the truth on because they know
just how damning it is to their law fare.
Speaker 3 (26:12):
At the end of the day, this.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
Means that Donald Trump is going to be able to
do what he needs to do to keep all of
us safe from these gang members. Now, this really broadens
out into also another bigger issue, and that issue deals
with just these judges who are doing everything they can
to undermine Donald Trump. It is a form of law fair.
(26:35):
I want you to hear what Senator Schmid had to
say on Fox News Channel when he was talking about
just how bad it's gotten.
Speaker 9 (26:41):
And so I think a lot of these judges are
taking it upon themselves to usurp really important power. For example,
when President Trump declared a predatory incursion of these criminal
violent gangs, he's well within his Article two executive power
to deport them.
Speaker 3 (26:55):
He can do that.
Speaker 9 (26:57):
The judge by stepping in there, Judge Bosberg, by stepping
in in the case that we're talking about, he somehow
got said you can't do that. That is like that
judge dictating missile strikes or deciding troop movements. Those are
national security issues, those are foreign those are powers of
the commander in chief that the judge doesn't get to do.
So the separation of powers works both ways. You don't
(27:19):
get to kind of jump into the Article two branches
authority on commander in chief power. So I think you're
about to see all these cases make their way to
Supreme Court, and I think President Trump's on very firm ground.
But we should address these abuses that are happening now
every day.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
Pam Bonni, the Attorney General of the United States of America,
also talking about just how radical these judges have become
and what they are doing.
Speaker 10 (27:40):
The president is going to comply with the law. He
was overwhelmingly elected by an overwhelming majority of the United
States citizens to be our commander in chief. And that's
what he's been doing, Shannon. Just since January twentieth, we've
had over one hundred and seventy lawsuits filed against us.
That should be the constitutional crisis right there. Fifty injunctions
(28:03):
they're popping up every single day, trying to control his
executive power, trying to control where he believes our tax
dollars should be allocated. And saying he won by an
overwhelming majority is so important because that's what the American
people want, what President Trump campaign on and what he
want on, and he's implementing that agenda at a rapid speed.
(28:26):
None of us can keep up with them every single day.
And so it's just we're going after all of these lawsuits.
We're defending them all. We just got a great win
and will continue to fight.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
Will continue to fight, and it looks like now they're
going to continue to also win. Senator Ted Cruz also
signed the alarm on these injunctions nationwide, injunctions by these
activist judges. And here is what he said at a
testimony hearing on the issue in front of his committee
in the Senate.
Speaker 13 (28:55):
It's long been said that hypocrisy is the tribute that
vice pays to virtue. I have to admit I'm enjoying
listening to my Democrat colleagues suddenly discover the virtues of
the rule of law after four years where they brazenly
supported the most lawless Department of Justice and the most
politically weaponized department of justice our nation has ever seen.
(29:16):
We just heard the Senator from Rhye Island talk about
the imperative of protecting judges, and yet not a single
Democrat senator cared about the violent protesters that showed up
outside Supreme Court justices homes, including I might note female
justices like Justice Amy Coney Barrett threatening their family. And
Joe Biden's Attorney General didn't do a damn thing and
(29:37):
refused to enforce the law to protect those judges. Why
because he agreed with the violent protesters and he wanted
to intimidate and threaten those judges, Professor Bray. Under our constitution,
who should decide elections the voters or on elected judges.
Speaker 14 (29:54):
The voters are the ones who should vote in the
election according to the laws, and the laws sometimes have
to be a plpplied by the judges if there are.
Speaker 13 (30:01):
A and under our constitution, who is charged with making
policy decisions elected representatives elected by the people or unelected
federal judges.
Speaker 14 (30:12):
I think the question of policy, Senator is a little
broader than the particular case. So the basic laws should
be enacted by Congress. That's where the fountain of.
Speaker 13 (30:22):
Law polacy decisions are the elected branch. Right, law is
the province of the court. Policy is the province of
the elected branches. These are not complicated, Professor Bry, Let
me ask you this, do the federal courts have power
to issue remedies for people who are not parties to
a case.
Speaker 14 (30:37):
That's the question, I agree is not complicated. They do
not have that power.
Speaker 13 (30:41):
Is the phrase nationwide injunction or universal injunction found anywhere
in the Constitution?
Speaker 14 (30:47):
It is not.
Speaker 13 (30:48):
First chart the first one hundred and fifty years of
our republic, how many nationwide injunctions were issued?
Speaker 14 (30:54):
My view is that there were not any until nineteen
sixty three.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
Zero.
Speaker 13 (30:58):
Now fast forward, how many nations wine injunctions were issued
in the entire twentieth century.
Speaker 14 (31:05):
It's a small number, I would I would think it
would be a dozen. Giver take it's not large.
Speaker 13 (31:11):
Twenty seven actually excluding Trump's first term. How many nationwide
injunctions were issued in the last twenty.
Speaker 14 (31:20):
Years far more than that thirty two.
Speaker 13 (31:24):
From twenty twenty and one to twenty twenty four against Biden,
Obama and Bush thirty two. And how many nationwide injunctions
have been issued in the last two months alone, there
have been quite a few thirty seven. Let that sink
in there have been more nationwide injunctions in the past
two months against President Trump than in the entire twentieth century.
(31:50):
There have been more nationwide injunction against President Trump in
the last two months than both terms of George W. Bush,
both terms of Barack Obama, and Joe Biden's term. We
saw during the Biden presidency Lawfair indicting President Trump four times,
using the machinery of justice to attack him, and that
(32:11):
was an attack on democracy because democrats today hate democracy.
Democrats today are angry at the voters for re electing
Donald Trump and electing a Republican Senate in a Republican House,
and they engage in Lawfair to stop democracy from operating.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
Senator Cruz is absolutely right, and this is exactly why
it's so important that we fight back the way that
Pambondi said it. Wherever we have to when democrats abuse
their power, especially sitting on the bench, we're going to
cover it all every day for you.
Speaker 3 (32:46):
Make sure you had that
Speaker 1 (32:47):

tomorrow on the program.
In some very important international news the Prime Minister of Israel,
Benjamin Netanya, who met with Donald Trump at the White House.
But one of the biggest things that came out of
the conversation was some breaking news that Donald Trump announced
about having direct talks with Iran over their nuclear weapons program.
(00:22):
The present saying this at the White House, sitting next
to bb.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
We're having direct talks with Iran and they've started. It'll
go on Saturday. We have a very big meeting and
we'll see what can happen. And I think everybody agrees
that doing a deal would be preferable to doing the obvious,
and the obvious is not something that I want to
(00:48):
be involved with, or frankly that Isya wants to be
involved with if they can avoid it. So we're going
to see if we can avoid it. But it's getting
to be very dangerous territory. And hopefully those talks will
be successful, and I think it would be Intern's best
interests if they are successful. We hope that's going to happen,
(01:10):
and we had just a lot of good talks on
a lot of things.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
Have Now as President Trump was saying this in the
Oval Office, Reuters came out with an exclusive report saying
that Iran back militias in Iraq are ready to disarm
to avert what they describe as a Trump wrath. That's
right coming out of Baghdad. Several powerful Iranian backed militia
groups in Iraq are prepared to disarm for the first
(01:35):
time to avert the threat of an escalating conflict with
the US Trump administration. That is what ten senior commanders
and Iraqi officials said to Reuters. The move to diffuse
tensions follows repeated warnings issued privately by US officials to
the Iraqi government since Trump took power in January. According
(01:57):
to sources who include six local commanders of four major militias,
the officials told Baghdad that unless it acted to disband
the militias operating on its soil, America could target the
groups with air strikes. A senior Muslim politician close to
Iraq's government's alliance also towed Reuters that discussions between the
(02:21):
Prime Minister and several militia leaders were quote very advanced,
and the groups were inclined to comply with US calls
for disarmament. The factions are not acting stubbornly or insisting
on continuing in their current form, he said, adding that
the groups were fully aware they could be targeted by
(02:42):
US air strikes. The six militia commanders interviewed in Baghdad
by Reuters at a southern province who requested obviously eminemity
to discuss the sense of situation, are from multiple different groups,
many of them also at ties to Iran. Trump is
ready to take the war with us to worse levels.
(03:03):
We know that, one of the commanders said, and we
want to avoid such a bad scenario. The most powerful
Sheite militia also saying that it's time for us to
find a way to work together.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
You cannot make this up. Why are they doing this now?
Speaker 1 (03:19):
Because they've witnessed what the president's doing with other leaders
that he decides to take out isis leaders, and the
President making it clear that if you don't get a
deal now, well you're probably going to end up dead.
The commander said, their main ally and patron, Iran's elite
Revolutionary Guards military force has given them its blessing to
(03:40):
take whatever decisions they deem necessary to avoid being drawn
into a potentially ruinous conflict with the United.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
States and Israel.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
So the moral of the story is even Iran's military
understands that right now is not a time to mess
with the Try administration, and this may be exactly why
they're willing to talk directly with the Trump administration to
avert military strikes from a president that says he's not bluffing.
Now even CNN is reporting about the fact that the
(04:15):
US is having these nuclear talks with Iran. Mike Ran
appeared on CNN's The Source with Caitlin Collins to discuss
the talks, and here's what he said about the reporting.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
My source tonight is the former Israeli Ambassador to the US,
Michael Orrin, Ambassador, thank you for being with US and
President Trump. He wasn't willing to say right that the
US would strike Iran's nuclear facilities. That is, of course
what Israel has long push for. What do you expect
the US to do if discussions fail.
Speaker 5 (04:47):
Well, one thing that President Trump has done, to be honest,
he put the military option back on the table a
President Biden had taken it off the table, so it's
clearly on the table with the audience understand it's on
the table. But also, according to the reports tonight, for
the first time, as you said, in a decade direct
talks between the United States and Iran, because during the
Biden administration the talks were indirect. So that is already
(05:07):
a step well from the Iranian perspective, a step forward.
Though we should say that the Iranians are kind of
denying that.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
That's right.
Speaker 4 (05:13):
The Iranian Foreign Minister is saying that these are indirect
high level talks. So that's a different story.
Speaker 5 (05:19):
What do you make of that. It's a different story.
But the essence is that there's talks, and the talks
then are going to raise some very serious questions on
the Israeli side. My gut feeling tells me that what
brought Primasi nets and now to Washington on such short
notice wasn't just the tiriffs, and the tariffs are serious.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
It's about two and a half.
Speaker 5 (05:35):
Billion dollars worth of trade from Israel's side at a
time when the Israeli economy is very vulnerable because of
the war. But what really brought him here was the
Iranian the notion that the understanding that these talks are
about to take place apparently on next Saturday, and there
are three major questions that Israel's going to be asking
how long the talks are going on for. You know,
the Iranians are really good negotiators. They'll drag it out
(05:56):
at a time when the Russians are rebuilding the ear
defenses in Iran that were knocked out by the Israeli
Air Force. Big question. Second one is what's the goal
of the talks? Is the goal of a talks an
agreement similar to the twenty fifteen Obama Iran agreement which
basically froze the Iranian program for about a decade, but
didn't dismantle the program. And the third question is, as
(06:19):
the President says, what if the talks don't work, what
is the next step? Will the United States then support
is really military action against Iran to stop that program?
Will the United States join in that military action as
the President seems to intimate that would be the case.
But these are crucial questions that Israelis will look to
get answers from from the White House.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
Why do you think the Trump administration could strike a
better deal than the Obama administration.
Speaker 5 (06:44):
Well, first of all, because of the credibile military threat.
Obama had all options on the table, you remember, but
I don't think people actually believed it I think that
now with the United States bombing the hoodies the way
they have, that's sending a message to Iran, a rather
uncliitical message that this administration willing to use force to
a degree that previous administrations. I certainly some previous democratic
administrations were unwilling to use that type of force. And
(07:07):
the ruddiance are aware, how should we say this, This
is president is not predictable in that way, and that
Iranians like predictability. They don't like dealing with the uncertainty
that Dousident Trump could turn around and give that order
to those B two and B one and B fifty
two bombers to go into Iranian skies.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
By the way, I love how they act, like Donald
Trump being strong against Iran getting a nuclear weapon in
the Middle East is somehow like impredictability from Donald Trump,
Like isn't this exactly what you want a president to do?
Because Iran knew that the military option had been taken
off the table. You just heard that from the former
(07:46):
Israeli ambassador of the US. He said in the last administration,
Iran was one hundred percent sure that military use was
not going to be done against them. In other words,
you can do what you want to do, and yeah,
there may be some sanctions again and some other stuff,
but you don't have to worry about actual military action.
So that's number one here. That is a I think
(08:07):
a really really really important point to make. The second
important point that also needs to be made here is this.
You have a president now that is saying all options
are on the table.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
If you choose to.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Go in a different direction than what we're telling you
you need to do, this is up to Iran if
they want to be in that situation, if they want
to be in that scenario. And I think that is
the point that's clearly being made by this administration is
the days of you.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
Getting to dictate they are over.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
The days of you getting closer to a nuclear weapon,
they're over. If you want to play this game of
chicken with the United States of America with the Trump administration,
it's a very deadly game. I actually go back to
what was said earlier, you know when the President said
we're having these direct talks. That is a good thing, right,
(09:02):
He's saying, we're talking directly. We are sitting down and
we are talking directly. Donald Trump is dead serious about
this was another way that it was described earlier today
on Fox News Channel, they're saying he's not joking and
everyone in the Middle East knows it.
Speaker 6 (09:19):
Yeah. Absolutely, you can penetrate an iPhone.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
Let's talk about Iran.
Speaker 7 (09:22):
The President clearly changing strategy from the Biden administration and
even you know, making a very forceful declaration in his
letter that you're going to get We're open to talks Iran,
but you're gonna have to dismantle your nuclear program and
you have two months to agree to the talks. This
is a big change in policy. And how do you
read it? Is he President really serious about this?
Speaker 6 (09:46):
I think he's dead serious about this, and no doubt
in my mind whatsoever. He's issued an ultimatum, and he's
very clear about it. He wants voluntarily dismantling the program,
verified by outside inspectors, and he wants it done by
a date certain and that is the right approach to this.
And then he's told them very clearly that there will
(10:08):
be grave consequences if you don't do it. They know
what that means. It's likely and it has rarely led
US supported airstrike to forcefully dismantle that program. And that's
the path we are on and I absolutely think that
the President coming in, even though it's early in his administration,
sending this unequivocal message to Iran that your day of
(10:32):
being the Malian aggressor in the Middle East and also
funding all your proxies to destabilize the Middle East, it's
over and Iran is back on its heels Paul and
the way they haven't been in forty four years. The
President's team knows it, and they're in pursuit of stopping
what Iran has been doing all of these years, and
(10:52):
a nuclear enterprise will be a significant blow to them.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
This is why I love a commander in chief that
just isn't screwing around on national security, on tariffs, on
foreign policy.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
He's just not going to screw around. And you can
hear it.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
In the way that the White House talks about this.
We're willing to speak to you directly. We're willing to
talk directly, We're willing to negotiate directly. But to be clear,
we're not going to allow you to get a nuclear weapon.
We're not going to allow you to continue to send
massive amounts of funds to these terrorists organizations, whether they
(11:38):
are in Iraq, or in Syria, or the Hamas or
hesblat and undermine and kill innocent men, women, children in Israel.
I also think it's very important that a lot of
this conversation took place side by side with net Yahoo
in the Oval Office, with the President making it clear
we are unified together. He also said over and over
(12:01):
again he believes that they have the right okay, they
have the right to defend themselves. In translation, would allow
Israel to defend itself and protect itself at all costs,
meaning America would support you, We would give you what
you need. We would probably be involved in some capacity,
(12:23):
maybe even in the attack, to make sure that Iran
is kept in check. What's also shocking to me is
just how close Iran got and is right now to
a nuclear weapon because the last administration allowed them to
get that close because they took the military option off
(12:44):
the table. There has been a story that has been circulating,
and it's one that we're going to debunk right now.
It's that Republicans are going to break with the President
and destroy what he's doing on tariffs. Well, James Langford
set the record straight, saying he doesn't think that's gonna
(13:04):
happen on Capitol Hill at all. He said, if anything
is stopping the president will be lawfair in the court system.
You're noticing a trend with law fair, right, take a
list in the Center in his own words from Oklahoma.
Speaker 8 (13:18):
So, I think the president's challenge is not going to
be Congress. There'll be members of Congress saying, hey, this
needs to be able to come back to Congress as
it typically does. I think it's gonna be challenging the
courts quite frankly, because its novel is new. It's a
different way to actually take on the tariffs. And so
I think the courts are going to jump in and say,
we want to be able to take a look at this.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
So there is a center saying, guess what, what you're
being told by the media is yet again another lie
to undermine President Trump and his job as the commander
in chief. Now, the Center also said, yes, there is
an attempt in Congress to quote rein in the president's
capability to manage tariffs, but quote, I don't think this
(13:57):
bill will have an impact on it at all. Senate
narrowly approved a tarff control bill, which could not have
won approval if it was not for the support of
four Republicans, there's a little chance the bill will get
majority support in the House. Trump also still has veto
control of the bill should it win full approval. You
(14:18):
can't make this up, Lankford said. The big pictures that
Trump is on the right course, and he believes his
constituents will see the benefits as well, saying, quote, he's
not wrong definitely that China is ripping us off, and
that we've got bad trade issues all over the world.
And I'm looking forward to lots of new negotiated trade
agreements all around the world because my farmers and ranchers
(14:40):
are folks that do production of lots of different equipment here.
They want to be able to sell all over the world.
They want to be able to have fair markets. Now,
President Trump also getting in on the action at the
White House today. He was taking questions with net and Yahoo,
and he was asked by the media about the tear.
(15:00):
There was a story that started to circulate that Donald
Trump was quote looking at pausing at the tariffs. Well,
Donald Trump said, guess what, that's not true, and here's
the present in his own words, any questions, but.
Speaker 7 (15:12):
The President.
Speaker 9 (15:16):
To the markets today and would you be open to
a pause in tariffs to allow for negotiation.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Well, we're not to look at it that. We have many,
many countries that are coming to negotiate deals with us,
and they're going to be fair deals, and in certain
cases they're going to be be paying substantial tariffs, they'll
be fair deals. So you know, I spoke this morning
with the Prime Minister of Japan and we had a
(15:41):
very good conversation.
Speaker 10 (15:42):
They're coming and.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
I said, one thing, you're going to have to open
up your country because we sold no cars, like zero
cars in Japan, and they sold millions of cars into
our country. They don't really take our agriculture, a little
bit of it just to keep us slightly happy, but
they don't take what this of us to take. And
so we have a great relationship with Japan. We're going
to keep it that way. But they're coming in to meet,
(16:05):
and other countries are coming in with China, as you know,
against my statement, they put a thirty four percent tariff
on above what their ridiculous tariffs were already. And I said,
if that tariff isn't removed by tomorrow at twelve o'clock,
we're putting a fifty percent tariff on above the tariffs
(16:27):
that we put on. So they've gone for years, they've
become a rich country because of people, again that we're
in the White House, that allowed this to happen. Hundreds
of billions of dollars here that'd make an ust on
trade and it shouldn't be that way. And I have
a great relationship with presidency. I hope it's going to
stay that way. I have great respect for China, but
(16:48):
they can't do this. We're just we're going to have
one shot at this, and no other president's going to
do this what I'm doing. And I'll tell you what,
it's an honor to do it because we have been
has just destroyed what they've done to our system. You know,
we have thirty six trillion dollars of debt for a reason,
and the reason is that people allowed it to get
(17:10):
that way. So we'll be talking to China, We'll be
talking to a lot of different countries, and I think,
you know, if if we can make a really fair
deal and a good deal for the United States, not
a good deal for other this is America first. It's
now America first. And we didn't put America first. We
(17:30):
put America lasts. The people that were in the Oval
Office put America lest and we're not going to stand
for it.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
So if you want to know who's on your side,
it's clearly the President of the United States of America. Yes,
the media is having to lie, manipulate and change the
headlines and tell you it's all doom and gloom, and
then line say the President's going to stop the tariffs,
Pause the terraffs back down from the tariffs, show weakness. Well,
I think it's pretty clear now from what the President
said in the White House none of that is actually
(17:59):
going to happen.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
Now.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
The tariff guru at the White Auis is a guy
by the name of Peter Navarro. He went out on
the ingram Angle Show on Fox News Channel to talk
to average investors, many people like you and I that
invest for our retirement. And yes, it is a little
bit scary right now. It's concerning to see what's happening
on Wall Street. Well, here is the message from Pier
(18:23):
Navarro to all of us.
Speaker 11 (18:25):
You heard the billionaire class. Many of these people did
in the end support President Trump, but you might as
well have thought we were on the verge of breadlines
in the United States today.
Speaker 12 (18:35):
Well, I think in the end they supported Trump. I mean,
they're just like trying to put their bets whatever. Look,
here's the thing I want to say to small investors.
Don't panic. They want you to sell. You can't take
a loss until you sell. And what I see is
fifty thousand on the Dow. I predicted in twenty sixteen
(18:57):
the day after President got elected. Back then, when the
dead futures were dead red down, I said we're going
to go to twenty five thousand. I got that exactly right,
We're going to fifty. But more importantly, with the S
and P five hundred, the games we've had over the
last couple of years have been basically seven stocks, the
magnificent seventy ais. Most of the stocks in the S
(19:18):
and P five hundred have gone nowhere. Now they're going
to go crazy. They're going to go so bullish because
we're bringing our investment home. The other thing I want
to say is we've got countries coming to us, Laura
with these zero zero It's like, well, we'll put our
tariffs down. Finally, if you'll put yours down, that's not
the big problem.
Speaker 6 (19:37):
Why did that.
Speaker 11 (19:37):
Romer get going today that that Kevin Hassett, who's been
regular on the show, had floated that.
Speaker 12 (19:44):
Well zero zero watched Kevin.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
Why did that say?
Speaker 11 (19:49):
That sent the market back up?
Speaker 12 (19:51):
Because what they're trying to do they're out in globalism
land is shake the knees of the American people and
the president.
Speaker 11 (20:00):
President Trump's confidences exactly right.
Speaker 12 (20:02):
But it's not working. It's not as the president knows
that we've been getting ripped off for years.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
If you go back to.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
I love Navarro because it's not working, right, it's not
working on the president, it's not working.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
This is dumb.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
It is not working because he understands his job. There's
also another question that he was asked about a recession.
Does he believe that a recession is coming? That's one
of the big plays we're hearing now from Democrats. Oh
the president's running us into a recession. Well, Navarro had
this to say, the American voters as well.
Speaker 12 (20:35):
And we get stuck with a hindsight.
Speaker 11 (20:38):
It's it's just doesn't Why do you think the market
might turn around?
Speaker 12 (20:41):
It's finding a bottom now, it's finding a bottom now,
but look, here's the thing.
Speaker 3 (20:47):
It's going to shift over.
Speaker 12 (20:49):
And it's going to be companies in the S and
P five hundred who are the first to produce here.
Those are the ones going to lead to recovery. And
it's going to happen Dow fifty thousand. I guarantee that,
I guarantee no recession. Okay, Why because when we pass
the biggest broadest tax cut in history within a matter
of months, that's going to be a great stimus. There's
(21:10):
not going to be any inflation. We've already had a
significant drop, a huge drop in oil prices war that's
like a point off the CPI. We're going to have
lower yields and mortgage.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
Now, one of the things that Peter talked about there
is this recent development that has led to a significant
decrease in gas prices across the United States of America.
As of April to seventh, the nationwide average for a
gallon of regular gasoline stands at three dollars and twenty
five cents. That is a massive drop from previous weeks. Now,
(21:43):
why is this happening. There's a couple of key factors
to the decline. Number One, tariffs induced economic uncertainty, and
so what did that mean? Well, the present made it
very clear that for him to be able to do
what he's doing on tariffs, he need to make sure
the price of oil drop, the price of gas would drop.
He's done this by opening up and allowing for America
(22:04):
to become energy independent.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
Yet again that's been a huge factor in this.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
We've also seen an increase because of that in oil production,
and so you're looking at the organization of patrolling exporting
countries and it's Allies OPEC. Plus they've also decided to
accelerate the restoration of oil production cuts, leading to an
oversupply in the market and further driving down oil price
(22:28):
as well. And then you've got the issues with seasonal
demand fluctuations where we're past spring break, we're not to
summer yet that's also a big deal. You combine all
of this together, and what it means is from a
major economic implication, lower gas prices are offering immediate relief
to consumers, they may also signal underlying economic challenges as
(22:52):
well for many Americans who are now looking at cheaper
things like gas as a way to breathe a little
bit of really, so this is part of why Navar said, Look,
we're not going into a recession. So you can believe
the media who keeps lying to you, or you can
listen to President United States of America and his team.
We know what we're doing and we know how to
(23:13):
win on these issues. It is a major victory for
law and order when it comes to the President Donald
Trump having power to do his job. The Supreme Court
of the United States lifted a block from the US
District Judge James Boseburg, which was law fair preventing the
Trump administration from deporting suspected illegal alien gang members. They
(23:37):
were doing this under the seventeen ninety eight Alien Enemies Act. Now,
this ruling from the Supreme Court is a massive win
for President Donald Trump and most importantly for the rule
of law in this country. It's also a massive win
for his administration because now they can actually do their jobs.
Speaker 3 (23:56):
It was described quote.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
As a narrow and focused on the upper venue for
the cases, rather than on the administration's use of a
century's old law to justify its decision to deport suspected.
Speaker 3 (24:09):
Illegal alien gang members.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
That according to The New York Times, So even when
the President gets a huge victory from the Supreme Court,
just know the hacks of the New York Times are
still going to lie to you about the premise of
the ruling. Per the New York Times, it was a
five to four decision. Happens all the time, by the way,
and the Supreme Court justice found that the migrants had
(24:35):
improperly challenged their deportations in Washington, d C. When they
should have challenged him in Texas where they were being
held quote unquote from the Times. Now, the real headline
should have been this, the Supreme Court sides with the
Trump administration and will allow them to continue removing Venezuela
and Transdiragua gang members from the country under the Alien's
(24:57):
Enemies Act. But no, the media couldn't actu tell you
the story the honest way. In a post on x
the Attorney General Pam Bondi responded to the Supreme Court
decision and described it as a landmark victory for quote
the rule of law. Bondi continued, saying this, an activist
judge in Washington, DC does not have the jurisdiction to
(25:19):
seize control of President Trump's authority to conduct foreign policy
and keep the American people safe. The Department of Justice
will continue fighting in court to make Americas safe.
Speaker 3 (25:32):
Again.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
Trump also asked the Supreme Court to allow the federal
government to deport suspected illegal alien gang members under the
Alien Enemies Act, and in March, Trump invoked the Alien
Enemies Act to allow for the expedited removal of illegal
Venezuelan migrants who were suspected of being members of that
dangerous gang, the transda Agua gang also that has been
(25:55):
designated as a terrorist organization. These are terrorists at the
President's trying to get rid of. This was a massive
victory for the President and it's one that the media
will not tell you the truth on because they know
just how damning it is to their law fare.
Speaker 3 (26:12):
At the end of the day, this.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
Means that Donald Trump is going to be able to
do what he needs to do to keep all of
us safe from these gang members. Now, this really broadens
out into also another bigger issue, and that issue deals
with just these judges who are doing everything they can
to undermine Donald Trump. It is a form of law fair.
(26:35):
I want you to hear what Senator Schmid had to
say on Fox News Channel when he was talking about
just how bad it's gotten.
Speaker 9 (26:41):
And so I think a lot of these judges are
taking it upon themselves to usurp really important power. For example,
when President Trump declared a predatory incursion of these criminal
violent gangs, he's well within his Article two executive power
to deport them.
Speaker 3 (26:55):
He can do that.
Speaker 9 (26:57):
The judge by stepping in there, Judge Bosberg, by stepping
in in the case that we're talking about, he somehow
got said you can't do that. That is like that
judge dictating missile strikes or deciding troop movements. Those are
national security issues, those are foreign those are powers of
the commander in chief that the judge doesn't get to do.
So the separation of powers works both ways. You don't
(27:19):
get to kind of jump into the Article two branches
authority on commander in chief power. So I think you're
about to see all these cases make their way to
Supreme Court, and I think President Trump's on very firm ground.
But we should address these abuses that are happening now
every day.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
Pam Bonni, the Attorney General of the United States of America,
also talking about just how radical these judges have become
and what they are doing.
Speaker 10 (27:40):
The president is going to comply with the law. He
was overwhelmingly elected by an overwhelming majority of the United
States citizens to be our commander in chief. And that's
what he's been doing, Shannon. Just since January twentieth, we've
had over one hundred and seventy lawsuits filed against us.
That should be the constitutional crisis right there. Fifty injunctions
(28:03):
they're popping up every single day, trying to control his
executive power, trying to control where he believes our tax
dollars should be allocated. And saying he won by an
overwhelming majority is so important because that's what the American
people want, what President Trump campaign on and what he
want on, and he's implementing that agenda at a rapid speed.
(28:26):
None of us can keep up with them every single day.
And so it's just we're going after all of these lawsuits.
We're defending them all. We just got a great win
and will continue to fight.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
Will continue to fight, and it looks like now they're
going to continue to also win. Senator Ted Cruz also
signed the alarm on these injunctions nationwide, injunctions by these
activist judges. And here is what he said at a
testimony hearing on the issue in front of his committee
in the Senate.
Speaker 13 (28:55):
It's long been said that hypocrisy is the tribute that
vice pays to virtue. I have to admit I'm enjoying
listening to my Democrat colleagues suddenly discover the virtues of
the rule of law after four years where they brazenly
supported the most lawless Department of Justice and the most
politically weaponized department of justice our nation has ever seen.
(29:16):
We just heard the Senator from Rhye Island talk about
the imperative of protecting judges, and yet not a single
Democrat senator cared about the violent protesters that showed up
outside Supreme Court justices homes, including I might note female
justices like Justice Amy Coney Barrett threatening their family. And
Joe Biden's Attorney General didn't do a damn thing and
(29:37):
refused to enforce the law to protect those judges. Why
because he agreed with the violent protesters and he wanted
to intimidate and threaten those judges, Professor Bray. Under our constitution,
who should decide elections the voters or on elected judges.
Speaker 14 (29:54):
The voters are the ones who should vote in the
election according to the laws, and the laws sometimes have
to be a plpplied by the judges if there are.
Speaker 13 (30:01):
A and under our constitution, who is charged with making
policy decisions elected representatives elected by the people or unelected
federal judges.
Speaker 14 (30:12):
I think the question of policy, Senator is a little
broader than the particular case. So the basic laws should
be enacted by Congress. That's where the fountain of.
Speaker 13 (30:22):
Law polacy decisions are the elected branch. Right, law is
the province of the court. Policy is the province of
the elected branches. These are not complicated, Professor Bry, Let
me ask you this, do the federal courts have power
to issue remedies for people who are not parties to
a case.
Speaker 14 (30:37):
That's the question, I agree is not complicated. They do
not have that power.
Speaker 13 (30:41):
Is the phrase nationwide injunction or universal injunction found anywhere
in the Constitution?
Speaker 14 (30:47):
It is not.
Speaker 13 (30:48):
First chart the first one hundred and fifty years of
our republic, how many nationwide injunctions were issued?
Speaker 14 (30:54):
My view is that there were not any until nineteen
sixty three.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
Zero.
Speaker 13 (30:58):
Now fast forward, how many nations wine injunctions were issued
in the entire twentieth century.
Speaker 14 (31:05):
It's a small number, I would I would think it
would be a dozen. Giver take it's not large.
Speaker 13 (31:11):
Twenty seven actually excluding Trump's first term. How many nationwide
injunctions were issued in the last twenty.
Speaker 14 (31:20):
Years far more than that thirty two.
Speaker 13 (31:24):
From twenty twenty and one to twenty twenty four against Biden,
Obama and Bush thirty two. And how many nationwide injunctions
have been issued in the last two months alone, there
have been quite a few thirty seven. Let that sink
in there have been more nationwide injunctions in the past
two months against President Trump than in the entire twentieth century.
(31:50):
There have been more nationwide injunction against President Trump in
the last two months than both terms of George W. Bush,
both terms of Barack Obama, and Joe Biden's term. We
saw during the Biden presidency Lawfair indicting President Trump four times,
using the machinery of justice to attack him, and that
(32:11):
was an attack on democracy because democrats today hate democracy.
Democrats today are angry at the voters for re electing
Donald Trump and electing a Republican Senate in a Republican House,
and they engage in Lawfair to stop democracy from operating.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
Senator Cruz is absolutely right, and this is exactly why
it's so important that we fight back the way that
Pambondi said it. Wherever we have to when democrats abuse
their power, especially sitting on the bench, we're going to
cover it all every day for you.
