Speaker 1 (00:11):
You're listening to the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Make sure
you subscribe to the podcast on the iHeartRadio app or
wherever you get your podcasts. Welcome to the Buck Brief,
coming to you from Nashville. That's why things look a
little different here. And we've got the Trump speech aftermath,
Democrats in total disarray. That's the word that you'll be
hearing a lot because it is so obviously true. We've
(00:35):
also got the strategy of random federal judges being able
to step in and decide that the commander in chief
doesn't really get to make decisions about the executive branch.
Any solitary federal judge anywhere in the country can now
and this is unfortunately according to a recent Supreme Court
(00:56):
five to four decision from today. Can I decide to
just tell you what policy is going to be? I
guess I don't know what they believe. The outer limits
are any federal judge who is a hashtag resistance anti
Trump type and subvert policy. But let's start with the
speech and what the biggest takeaways from it are. Right now,
(01:17):
Trump says America's back dawn of the Golden age of America.
Very exciting stuff. It was an incredibly positive speech overall.
Trump talked about his accomplishments so far, talk about the
scale of the victory of this last election, which was
momentous in and of itself, and then just got into
a lot of the plans for the future, the things
(01:39):
that he wants to get done, and that includes of course,
exposing the waste, fraud, and abuse of current government spending. Now,
this is the fastening dynamic that is becoming the defining
point of everything that we see in politics right now
between Trump and the Democrats, Trump Republicans, and the left,
(02:00):
and it is they have to oppose things that they
have to know are politically damaging for them. But because
Trump has picked issues where he not only has momentum
but a solid majority of the American people behind him
on those issues, because of that, they are just making
their situation worse. They haven't figured out at all what
(02:23):
the plan is going to be for opposition. They have
not been able to settle on any kind of solid
anti narrative of Trump other than they hate him, he's horrible,
he makes them cry, all that stuff. But overall, it's
quite clear that Trump is going to continue to rack
up wins as everyone has no we are not tired
(02:44):
of winning, and the Democrats are going to be in
this position where they have to just pout about it.
It seems very poudy, very whiny. All the interruptions, all
of the different shenanigans, the paddles in the audience, all
this kind of stuff we're going on. That was I
think exposing a Democrat party that is like, well, I said,
(03:05):
it's in disarray, it is discombobulated, it is dispirited. Lot
of d words here. It is at least temporarily deconstructed.
It is in a very bad state of affairs. And
it's because when you tell your people, not only are
you going to beat the political opposition, but you're going
(03:27):
to be in a place where that opponent is in
prison and his followers are going to be humiliated, hounded
by the federal bureaucracy and by law enforcement on partisan
on partisan witch hunts, all of that, and none of
it happens. You bring these charges, you bring all this stuff,
and then he wins by this huge it's the biggest
(03:49):
own goal really in American politics. We often talk about
Trump as an incredible comeback story, the most incredible political
comeback story of all time, which is certainly the case.
I don't even think there's any counter argument to that
right now. But there's also what the Democrats did to
propel him or to help propel him in that effort.
I think that they miscalculated in a way that is
(04:12):
so profound that they are scared to even go there,
Like they can't even consider the possibilities of how much
they messed this thing up and how much they delivered
this for Donald Trump in a lot of ways, how
much they put him in a position where they were
rigging the system against him, they were weaponizing the DOJ,
(04:36):
they all these different things that we know obviously he
survived not one, but two assassination attempts. They put him
in a place where his talent, skills, and his grit
were so powerful that it has shattered their system. I mean,
they've shattered the different anti Trump media outlets, CNN, MSNBC
(04:58):
a shadow of their former selves. New York Times, same thing,
Washington Post, same thing. All of these so called journalistic
enterprises that have turned themselves to a a delusional diet
of anti Trumpism have just disintegrated in terms of their
credibility and in terms of their audience, their readership, their viewership.
(05:20):
There's no way to view this as anything other than
a massive loss for them. So here's the next part
of this though. That Trump is in an incredibly strong
position right now is without saying, and the Republican Party
along with him. He's of course leading it. The fight
for life is ongoing day in and day out, and
on the front lines of it preborn. Preborn has a
(05:43):
network of clinics across the nation who have a very
simple but profoundly important mission, which is to save the
lives of as many tiny babies as they possibly can.
And they do this by putting their clinics in areas
of the country where abortion rates are highest and offering
women an alternative to abortion with love and care and support. Now,
this process usually starts with an ultrasound, because once mom
(06:05):
sees that tiny heartbeat, she knows the choice here has
to be for life. But Preborn needs your help in
this mission. They get no government funding. All you have
to do, and what you can do right now to
help them is go to preborn dot com slash buck.
That's preborn dot com. Slash Buck considered donating twenty eight
(06:27):
dollars a month to be a sponsor for Preborn's incredibly
important network saving lives day in and day out. But
now we get to the next phase, and the next
phase of this is what can be done, what can
be accomplished. This is where there's a little bit of
discouraging news. And you know on the radio show we
talked to Stephen Miller about this earlier, who's a deputy
(06:48):
White House Chief of Staff, and he says, is one
of the biggest problems that the Trump White House faces,
and that is what to do about these universal injunctions.
This was a problem in the first Trump term as well.
And this is essentially the federal judges. Remember, the Supreme
Court is a creation of the Constitution. The lower federal
(07:09):
courts are creation of Congress. And yet these lower federal
courts have decided that they have the ability effectively a
universal jurisdiction, so on any federal matter anywhere when Trump
is president, they can just weigh in. And they also
so jurisdiction doesn't really matter. Right if something's happening in
DC and some judge in Massachusetts doesn't like it, he says, oh, well,
(07:32):
you can't do that, DC. So that has been going
on and there has also been Unfortunately, the Supreme Court
decision that's come down Amy Cony Barrett is a huge disappointment. Yes,
she was necessary for overturning Roe v. Wade, So that
was a good thing, an obvious things should have happened
a long time ago. A good thing. But now we
have somebody who's essentially sides with soft authoritarianism at every opportunity,
(07:56):
which is is really such a thing as soft authoritarianism,
maybe authoritarianism with a smile, liberal fascism, to borrow from
a Jonah Goldberg's book of a couple of decades ago.
So we have the judicial challenge, or the challenge from
a component of the judiciary to the agenda that Trump
is trying to pursue. And in the most recent instance
(08:19):
it was the Trump administration didn't want to pay two
billion dollars that USAID was going to pay out, and
these by five to four decision, the Supreme Court said no.
The federal judge who says you have to pay this
stuff out, and you have to do it quickly, arbitrary
time frame, I might addle you, why does it have
to get paid when the federal judge says that it
(08:40):
does way beyond his jurisdiction. For of the Supreme Court
justices noted this, but Roberts and ACB were, as they
tend to do, siding with the system against I think
the clear intent of the Constitution and the founders. And
so that's a massive problem going forward, because what you're
(09:02):
going to have is the sixty vote threshold in the
Senate is the challenge to getting major legislation through. Democrats
will filibuster. Notice how our side doesn't even talk about
eliminiting the filibuster. Their side would threaten it, talk about it,
and I think under the right circumstances for them, they
would do it. Our side doesn't even have that discussion.
Republicans don't even bring this up as a possibility. And
(09:24):
then on the other side of things, you know, we
have the judiciary blocking the executive branch actions. So because
we don't have the sixty vote threshold in the Senate,
I would love to think that we could get there
in the next midterm, but who knows, because we don't
have that. Major legislation is not really possible. Reconciliation to
(09:45):
get through major spending, and you know, there are things
that can be done through the legislative branch that will
have the effect of policy and I think be very
powerful for what Trump is trying to accomplish. But this
is a lot of this is going to get tied
up in the courts very quickly. And they always say, oh,
we have this solid supreme conservative Supreme Court. At least
(10:06):
the Democrats say that it's just not true, that that's
just not a of reality. We do not have a
solid Supreme Court on a whole range of issues because
we have Roberts and acb. You really only have four
conservatives on the court. Four and then you have two
Sandrade O'Connor clones, essentially, and then you got a bunch
and then you got some communist left wingers. He don't believe.
(10:28):
They don't care what the constitution, what the law says.
It's just whatever they feel like, you know, whatever kind
of mood left wing activist. So to my oars in
a in any given day is going to determine what
her Supreme Court, you know, what her Supreme Court jurisprudence
will be. Next week, I get to do something exciting
with my dad, and you're all invited to join us.
(10:48):
I grew up in New York City, where my dad
made his living researching and predicting the stock market. He
was good at it too. In his line of work,
you're a hero if your predictions come true. When they don't,
you've got a fair amount of additional homework to do. Thankfully,
he was right on the big ones. All that to say,
next week I'm hosting a video seminar with my dad
where he'll make another big forecast on the markets. Write
this date down March twelfth at eleven am Eastern eight
(11:11):
am on the West Coast. It'll be online and video
form and super easy for you to register free of
charge online. Modesty aside for a minute, My dad created
a name for himself on Wall Street by his predicting
things in an uncanny way, the most notable calling the
crash of nineteen eighty seven and then again calling the
crash in two thousand and nine. His predictions are too
(11:31):
numerous to mention, but the latest one comes on March twelfth,
so register for it online and see us an hour
before this program starts that day. To sign up for
the free event, go to Disruption twenty twenty five dot com.
That's Disruption twenty twenty five dot com, paid for by
paradigm press. So this is a major challenge that we're
going to continue to see and it's really all the
(11:53):
Democrats have left. So you can expect some of these
judges to dig into this a whole lot more. And
I think they're going to try it on a range
of issues that pertain to DOZE. So whether it's firing
worthless federal employees or stopping spending that should not be happening,
that's frivolous, that's absurd, there's no oversight. Judges are going
(12:15):
to keep stepping in and saying no, no, you have
to do that because I say so, and then maybe
the Supreme Court sides with them, maybe they side with
the Trump administration. But it just grinds down, It grinds
down the gears of government and really sabotages what the
mission is right now. And with as clear of a
electoral win as we saw in this last election, you
(12:37):
would like to believe that the president can get so
much done with these various figures. But see, if the
system is not broken down and then rebuilt reformed, it
is effectively the system that governs, and we just change
out individuals within it without actually shifting the policies right me,
(12:57):
meaning the end result of the system stays largely the same.
You just have different figureheads moving in and out under
the elected official umbrella. So this is a big fight.
It's a very important and one because reigning in the
administrative state is something that we've been led to believe
is not really feasible or possible until Trump came along.
(13:18):
He was able to make strides in the first administration
against it, but Biden came in and did crazy stuff
right away. Biden came in and as we know, he
was just a puppet for the system around him. Remember
here it is the machine again, but the Democrat machine
undid a lot of Trump executive look at the border,
So that's, unfortunately the perfect exemplar of what I'm talking about.
(13:40):
Trump does excellent things to secure the border in his
first term, gets remade in Mexico. Policy going is handling
all of these different holes we have in border security,
some intentionally created and widened by Democrats. He does that,
and then Biden comes in and makes it the worst
(14:02):
border that it's ever been. Because it was executive, there
was no legislation. There was no legislation from the Congress
to and to executive branch prerogatives. We're in a similar
position now, and I know right now it feels like
the Democrats never can win and the Democrats will never
be back in power. They will be at some point.
They will mount to comeback. I don't know if it's
(14:22):
going to be in twenty eight. I think we're looking
really good for that right now, but who knows what
twenty eight is going to look like. They will mount
a comeback. So for this to be more permanent, there
have to be changes in law and changes to the
structure the system of government itself, which is why they're
fighting so hard to prevent these things from occurring. This
is really the center of the fight, right because if
(14:44):
administrations come and go, but the machine, the government, the swamp,
is forever, elections don't really matter all that much, and
especially because Democrats are far more comfortable aggressively wielding power
to the extent of even violating the Constitution, going well
beyond the clear intent of the words of the Constitution,
(15:07):
of the founding of Federal Statute. Member Obama did this
pen and a phone. Oh, I'm just Biden did this
with the freeze on rent collection because of COVID or
freeze on evictions rather because of COVID, and then also
try to do it with student loans a whole bunch
of different ways. They will just do what they want
to do to the extent they can get away with it. Republicans,
for better, for worse, sometimes for worse, sometimes for better,
(15:30):
will have their own internal dialogue and push pull on
should we do this? Is this constitutional? Is this something
that we can justify to ourselves on a governance and
ethical level, not just raw power being exercised. So there
are big challenges ahead. Trump's speech was amazing. Like I said,
(15:51):
it does feel like America is back. I'm so pleased
with what's going on right now so far in this administration.
But we've got to break down this bureaucratic system, the spending.
We've got to, you know, DOZE has to be allowed
to do its work to completion. And we've also got
to have some real reform to these judges who are
(16:13):
just left wing activists in a judges robe, who decide
that the president isn't really the president, you know, I mean,
what would happen with the president said I'm the commander
in chief, I'm ordering an imminent strike on a on
a you know, Iranian cell that's about to try to
strike at a US politician or something right, or you know,
we're going to have a drone strike overseas to take
out an IRGCISA, and some judge in Massachusetts says, no,
(16:35):
you're not allowed to do that. I would do well,
and it would go to the Supreme Court, and hopefully
Supreme Court would sign. But how many times can you
have these judges? Remember, each delay is to the advantage
of those that oppose the agenda of Trump. So delay
is its own reward for them, even if they're overturned
when it gets to the Supreme Court. Slowing it all
(16:57):
down is itself a huge problem. So we have to
stop this. And that's what I got for you today
from Nashville. I'll be back in Miami tomorrow. Shield High.

going to continue to see and it's really all the
(11:53):
Democrats have left. So you can expect some of these
judges to dig into this a whole lot more. And
I think they're going to try it on a range
of issues that pertain to DOZE. So whether it's firing
worthless federal employees or stopping spending that should not be happening,
that's frivolous, that's absurd, there's no oversight. Judges are going
(12:15):
to keep stepping in and saying no, no, you have
to do that because I say so, and then maybe
the Supreme Court sides with them, maybe they side with
the Trump administration. But it just grinds down, It grinds
down the gears of government and really sabotages what the
mission is right now. And with as clear of a
electoral win as we saw in this last election, you
(12:37):
would like to believe that the president can get so
much done with these various figures. But see, if the
system is not broken down and then rebuilt reformed, it
is effectively the system that governs, and we just change
out individuals within it without actually shifting the policies right me,
(12:57):
meaning the end result of the system stays largely the same.
You just have different figureheads moving in and out under
the elected official umbrella. So this is a big fight.
It's a very important and one because reigning in the
administrative state is something that we've been led to believe
is not really feasible or possible until Trump came along.
(13:18):
He was able to make strides in the first administration
against it, but Biden came in and did crazy stuff
right away. Biden came in and as we know, he
was just a puppet for the system around him. Remember
here it is the machine again, but the Democrat machine
undid a lot of Trump executive look at the border,
So that's, unfortunately the perfect exemplar of what I'm talking about.
(13:40):
Trump does excellent things to secure the border in his
first term, gets remade in Mexico. Policy going is handling
all of these different holes we have in border security,
some intentionally created and widened by Democrats. He does that,
and then Biden comes in and makes it the worst
(14:02):
border that it's ever been. Because it was executive, there
was no legislation. There was no legislation from the Congress
to and to executive branch prerogatives. We're in a similar
position now, and I know right now it feels like
the Democrats never can win and the Democrats will never
be back in power. They will be at some point.
They will mount to comeback. I don't know if it's
(14:22):
going to be in twenty eight. I think we're looking
really good for that right now, but who knows what
twenty eight is going to look like. They will mount
a comeback. So for this to be more permanent, there
have to be changes in law and changes to the
structure the system of government itself, which is why they're
fighting so hard to prevent these things from occurring. This
is really the center of the fight, right because if
(14:44):
administrations come and go, but the machine, the government, the swamp,
is forever, elections don't really matter all that much, and
especially because Democrats are far more comfortable aggressively wielding power
to the extent of even violating the Constitution, going well
beyond the clear intent of the words of the Constitution,
(15:07):
of the founding of Federal Statute. Member Obama did this
pen and a phone. Oh, I'm just Biden did this
with the freeze on rent collection because of COVID or
freeze on evictions rather because of COVID, and then also
try to do it with student loans a whole bunch
of different ways. They will just do what they want
to do to the extent they can get away with it. Republicans,
for better, for worse, sometimes for worse, sometimes for better,
(15:30):
will have their own internal dialogue and push pull on
should we do this? Is this constitutional? Is this something
that we can justify to ourselves on a governance and
ethical level, not just raw power being exercised. So there
are big challenges ahead. Trump's speech was amazing. Like I said,
(15:51):
it does feel like America is back. I'm so pleased
with what's going on right now so far in this administration.
But we've got to break down this bureaucratic system, the spending.
We've got to, you know, DOZE has to be allowed
to do its work to completion. And we've also got
to have some real reform to these judges who are
(16:13):
just left wing activists in a judges robe, who decide
that the president isn't really the president, you know, I mean,
what would happen with the president said I'm the commander
in chief, I'm ordering an imminent strike on a on
a you know, Iranian cell that's about to try to
strike at a US politician or something right, or you know,
we're going to have a drone strike overseas to take
out an IRGCISA, and some judge in Massachusetts says, no,
(16:35):
you're not allowed to do that. I would do well,
and it would go to the Supreme Court, and hopefully
Supreme Court would sign. But how many times can you
have these judges? Remember, each delay is to the advantage
of those that oppose the agenda of Trump. So delay
is its own reward for them, even if they're overturned
when it gets to the Supreme Court. Slowing it all
(16:57):
down is itself a huge problem. So we have to
stop this. And that's what I got for you today
from Nashville. I'll be back in Miami tomorrow. Shield High.
