(00:00):
Trump has told Fox News, andhe's going to name his VP today,
also said, this is good newsout of the court in Florida. I'll
go to my guest, Megan Barth. But the appointment's clause of the Constitution
says ambassadors, other public ministers andconsuls and judges of the Supreme Court,
(00:20):
and other officers of the United Statesappointed by the President are subject to the
advice and consent of the Senate.Although Congress may have invested the appointment of
inferior officers in the President alone,in the courts of law or in heads
of department, you have to beconfirmed by the Senate. Well Smith was
never confirmed by the Senate. Hewas appointed, but he has never gone
(00:44):
to a Senate confirmation. He wasjust a pick by Merrick Garland. And
the Judge has issued a statement.Upon careful study of the foundational challenges raised
in the motion, the Court isconvinced that the Special Council Smith's prosecution of
this action breaches two structural corners zonesof our constitutional scheme, the role of
Congress in the appointment of a constitutionalofficers and the role of Congress in authorizing
(01:07):
expenditures by law. So this guy'sbeen appointed to this case. He was
never confirmed, and yet he wasalso given permission to spend money, and
that's not constitutional. As well,the fervor to get Donald Trump by Merrick
Garland and the powers had been theyjust did it so sloppily, it said
the This is the judge as well. The Framers gave Congress a pivotal role
(01:30):
in the appointment of principal and inferiorofficers. That role cannot be as usurped
by the executive branch or diffused elsewhere, whether in this case or in any
other, whether in times of heightenednational need or not. The judge excoriates
the administration and Merrick Garland for thinkingthey could get by with appointing someone and
(01:52):
letting them spend money without in thejudicial world, in the justice system,
without a confirmation from Congress. MeganBarth, editor in chief of The Nevada
Globe, is on the hotline.Megan, good morning to you. Good
morning. Well, let's dive in. Let's first of all, we'll get
to the events of the weekend.But this is a pretty big deal from
this judge to say, not onlyam I throwing the case out, the
(02:15):
Justice Department violated the Constitution by evenappointing this guy giving him permission to spend
money. This is a pretty bigrebuke to Merry Garland to the Justice Department,
Well was that Judge Cannon say?Okay, great, So this is
exactly what Republicans have been saying forever since this sham appointment, and we
(02:44):
were constantly, you know, chastised, excoriated the same by Democrats. But
just pick your democrat, doesn't matterthe administration, just in general. This
is another example of how the Constitutionis nothing but a roadblock to the Democrats'
(03:07):
power. Because that the Democrats couldcompletely destroy the Constitution in order to assume
unilateral power, they would do that. And thankfully there's at least one judge
in the country who understands the Constitutionand applies it as it is written.
(03:28):
Merrick Garland actually was supposed to speakto the Bar Association out West here this
week, but in light of thefact that Trump obviously missed an assassination attempt,
he canceled his plans. The lastperson that should be speaking at the
Bar Association is Merrick Garland, especiallyin the wake of this ruling. But
(03:53):
then we can also go over toJoe Biden, who ignored the Supreme Court
and just kept forgiving student loans thetunes of millions of not billions of dollars.
So again it shows you that despitewhatever the court say, Joe Biden
and at least his administration will continueon just to simply a mass power,
(04:16):
despite what the constitutional limits are onthat power. Now, supposedly the President
has said they're going to have todial down the political rhetoric. But one
of the things they have been sayingabout Trump is he'll never give up power.
He's a Nazi, He's I mean, they said all these things about
him, that he will set upa dictatorship on day one. It seems
(04:38):
as if this Justice Department and someof the things they have done that have
been slapped down by courts over andover again forgiveness of loans, this document
case, it seems as if maybesometimes they want to accuse Donald Trump of
the very thing that they're actually doingin real time. Yes, the old
projection and deflection blame, blame yourenemies or opponents on exist eactly what you
(05:00):
were doing. Uh, this isthe classic Olynsky style of governing. Saul
Linsky, of course, the communityorganizer who is the mentor to Hillary Clinton.
Connect the dots. It doesn't takean absolute genius to understand exactly what's
going on. It does take anabsolute dope to misunderstand what's going on.
(05:21):
And b Spoon said, fear pornon a daily basis and then believe the
lie. The Democrats have have pushedthe lie long enough through the point of
you know, their supposed truths,their truth, not the absolute truth what
we witnessed over the weekend. Thehorror that we witnessed over the weekend is
(05:45):
not because there was violent rhetoric onboth sides. We heard the same bs
with the Steve Scalise shooting that nearlykilled what a dozen Republicans on a baseball
field in Virginia. This You cannotlabel your opponent as a Nazi, as
Hitler, as a threat to democracy, as a clear and present danger,
(06:09):
etc. And not think that somethinglike what happened this past weekend is not
going to happen. Of course,it's going to happen. You have deranged
individuals. We constantly hear about amental health crisis. And despite the fact
that the Democrats keep talking about amental health crisis except for their own,
(06:30):
they continue to use this violent rhetoric, whether it's Maxine Waters, whether it
is Joe Biden or Nancy Pelosi,nothing stopped them since twenty fifteen to completely
mislabel destroy the same malign and slanderthe president and now warmer vice president candidate
(06:53):
for the President of the United Statesin order to block his ability and the
people's abilities to re elect him toas president. Yeah, it's even last
week the words from the president were, we got to stop talking about my
age. We got to put PresidentTrump in a bullseye. That's the quote
(07:14):
from Biden last week. You hadhim saying, I'm not kidding folks,
there's no joke. He is athreat to our country. He's a threat
to democracy. Jill Biden, DoctorJill Biden last week in a speech said
he's evil. It's not hey,we don't like his tax plan. No,
they're using words of rhetoric that peoplethat are crazed think that they're defending
(07:35):
Americas, saving the Republic because they'rekilling the next Hitler, and that there's
no proof of that. They justsay it and limmings jump off a cliff
for it, and you end upwith the scene we had Saturday, and
I hope the president's right that he'sgot to lower the rhetoric. But you
know, don't be blaming anybody exceptyourself and your administration and even your own
(07:55):
wife for some of the rhetoric that'shappened in just the last five or six
days. Well, and look athis what he said in six minutes or
whatever it was last night when hewoke up, came out, gave a
speech, and let's he actually referredto the fake kidnapping of Gretchen Whitmer as
a threat to democracy the FBI she actually used that as truth, which
(08:20):
shows you, okay, which showsyou that they have absolutely no interest in
self awareness or even dialing down therhetoric. Yeah, he failed to mentioned
he did the fake kidnapping of GretchenWhitmer that was orchestrated by some FBI plants
and basically was proven to be false. He didn't mention. He did mention
(08:41):
January sixth, never missed a chancefor that. He didn't mention the threat
on the life of Brett Kavanaugh.He failed to mention that one. He
failed to mention all the fascist talkand the covers of magazine calling Trump hitler.
He didn't mention that he just happenedto mention all the years of calling
him basically a KGB agent or aRussian collusion guy. But he did mention
(09:03):
January the sixth and a fake kidnappingthat never happened, that was orchestrated and
kind of basically kicked out a courtof Gretchen Whitmer. Megan Bartha, He's
gonna announce his VP today, hesays, thirty seconds. Any thoughts,
Well, I'm hoping it's somebody young, strong and is able to, you
(09:24):
know, carry on the duty asa president from day one. In case
there's another deranged ludicic that wants totake a pot shot at Trump. I'm
I'm leaning towards Vance. I understandthat some big black trucks pulled up in
front of his house last night.I don't know if other big black trucks
pulled up in other people's houses lastnight, but you know, it's kind
(09:46):
of pointing in that direction. AndI believe he's supposed to announce it today.
Correct, Yeah, yep. Sohe told Brett bear a Bitego that
he's going to announce it today.So we'll see. Megan Barth your website

(10:09):
