Matt Locke - Host & Republican Strategist Joins Houston's Morning News

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Seven, twenty two, s our time here in Houston's borning News.
All right, Ignoring or disobeying the Supreme Court would be
something that Chuck Shiver thinks would require extraordinary action. I'm
not sure what he means by that. Maybe Matt Locke
knows host and Republican strategist. What do you think Chuck
Schummer means by extraordinary action?

Speaker 2 (00:21):
Well, I think he means that he wants to control
of everything that you and I do, because the Democrat
Party does no longer have that. They're at twenty percent
approval rating and the only thing they've got left is
activist judges rushing illegal aliens out of courtrooms in what Wisconsin?

Speaker 1 (00:37):
Yeah, Milwaukee. I think he's also referring to the Supreme
Court ruling regarding facilitating the return of this gang banger
slash wife beater who's in El Salvador right now. Is
if somehow we're supposed to walk into the country and
demand that he, one of their citizens, is given back
to us.

Speaker 2 (00:58):
I mean, the average it has to be looking at
this going, this is the hill that Democrats are going
to die on. They didn't go to Gaza to make
sure that American hostages were freed. They didn't, you know,
protect any American that has been assaulted or even killed,

(01:18):
like a lake in Riley, or the young lady in
Marilyn whose daughter was killed by an illegal immigrant. But
they jump on a plane at our expense and they
go to Al Salvador for an MS thirteen gang member
to do what bring him back here to stand in
court so you can.

Speaker 1 (01:33):
Be deported again later, evidently, which makes absolutely no sense.
But the thing that's most hypocritical to me, Madlock, is
just the whole idea here that somehow trying to work
around the US Supreme Court in any way, shape or
form is something that will require extraordinary action. How many
times did the Biden administration with the student loan program,

(01:53):
how many times did they work around or tried to
do a work around the Supreme Court.

Speaker 2 (01:58):
Well, they completely ignored the Supreme Court. I mean. And
here's the thing about how our government actually works. We
have coequal branches of government. The legislative branch is missing
in action. They finally came back to work yesterday. You've
got the judicial branch who is writing laws from the bench,
telling Trump that he can't be the executive of this country.
And all the wild Democrats forget history. You had Abraham Lincoln,

(02:21):
you had FDR. You had George W.

Speaker 1 (02:22):
Bush.

Speaker 2 (02:22):
You said, you know what, in times of extreme measures,
we are going to ignore things and we're gonna, you know,
we're going to suspend the rid of habeas corpoise, and
we're going to take care of what you know, America
needs first. I think that's kind of the road we'heading now.

Speaker 1 (02:35):
It certainly feels that way. And speaking of Congress coming back,
how optimistic or pessimistic are you right now about Trump's big,
beautiful bill about making the tax cuts permanent. Do you
think this gets accomplished with this Congress? No?

Speaker 2 (02:51):
Really, and it's on purpose. I think the Republican Congress
is waiting Trump out. I don't think we're going to
see anything. I saw a story that I covered for
the poc hass today where Republicans in Congress are now
only going to temporarily make the taxes on tips over
time in Social Security for the next three or four years.
So once again we're watching our Congress do nothing and

(03:13):
kick a can down the road while Donald Trump is
trying to fix America. It is the craziest thing I've
ever seen, they're on vacation all the time, they have
an eight percent reproval rating, and they're just frankly, they
can't bring themselves not to take your money.

Speaker 1 (03:25):
Yeah. Well, and they're getting awfully rich doing it, aren't
they all right? Beth, thank you, appreciated bad Lock host
and Republican strategist. It's seven twenty six.
