Law "Weaponized" Against Trump

So says Breitbart's Alex Marlow in his new book, "Breaking the Law."

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Scott Vordiez.

Speaker 2 (00:01):
The new book is called Breaking the Law, which is
only written one time, not three times like Judas Priest
would do it, Breaking the Law Exposing the weaponization of
America's legal system against Donald Trump. The author is a
well known media figure radio personality in his own right,
editor in chief of bright Bart News, two times New

(00:23):
York Times bestselling author Alex Marlow. Welcome to eleven to
ten kfab.

Speaker 3 (00:28):
It's Scott. Nice to meet you. They d have me on, man,
I got to figure out a way to use that
Judas Priest sorong. Yes, it's so catchy, Yes, but I
haven't figured it out for the marketing. And see this
is where I'm too lazy. You're going to figure this
one out.

Speaker 2 (00:39):
I don't need Rob Halford to sue you. Because you
titled the book breaking the Law, breaking the Law, I
guess it would just be twice exposing. But then if
you said breaking the Law, breaking the law exposing the
weaposition of America's legal system against Donald Trump, exposing the
weaposition of America's legal system done Donald Trump, and put
that in there twice, then it would throw them off.

Speaker 3 (00:59):
Anyway, Let's get in you know, it's just this day
and age an he presses, good pressed. So if I
get sued for that, I think it would probably help sales.

Speaker 2 (01:07):
Good call. All right, I tell you what. Let's turn
the page from the cover and actually see what's in
this book. We're talking about the previous weaponization of America's
legal system against Trump, which of course they've completely stopped doing, right,
he asked sarcastically, Yeah, not at all.

Speaker 3 (01:23):
This is the whole premise of the book. Is it's
a warning. It's the I think it's very valuable to
understand the history of law Fair, its origins in judicial activism,
which is familiar to any of you who've taken any
sort of a Civics class in your life, which presumably
is the whole audience, and to understand how widespread the
law Fair was during these main cases against Donald Trump

(01:44):
during his post presidency. But it isn't warning also that
if we don't fix some of the problems that are there,
and if we don't get engaged at a deeper civic
level right now, this is going to continue. We're witnessing
in a real time the only thing effective at stopping
from agenda thus far, in the first seven months has
been the law fair apparatus stopping via temporary restraining orders

(02:06):
and injunctions the huge swaths of his agenda. This is,
of course, not the intention of our legal system to
district judges. They were supposed to represent a specific district
block the entire executive branch. Yeah, that's exactly what we've seen,
and people feel empowered to do it.

Speaker 2 (02:21):
There was a Supreme Court ruling that was announced here
just this summer that at the time I said, I
don't think this is going to do anything. Essentially, the
Supreme Court said, a district judge with no standing in
a case can't stop the executive of the executive branch,
our commander in chief, from doing his job. And the
Supreme Court said, you guys, kind of knock that off,

(02:43):
and nothing changed.

Speaker 3 (02:44):
Right. You know what's amazing about this is I have
the same exact thought, So it's just going to end.
These tros are just going to end, and they didn't
because what happens is is you try stuff and then
it gets caught up in a heels process and until
we build some sort of a fast track lane to
adjudicate some of these things, which I recommend in the

(03:05):
book it's tough to do, but I think we need
to do something like that. Then what ends up happening
is these things work through the court, and then Trump
and his team are asked to either defy the court order,
which is potentially illegal and could be terrible for pr
or they have to go along with it while the
appeals take place. This is a cheat code for the
last to stop keath parts of the agenda. They figure

(03:28):
this out, and they're going to continue to do this
because there's the president. Trump is disincentivized from doing things
that cause him to lose the mantle of the steward
of law and order.

Speaker 2 (03:41):
Talking here with Alex Marlow, editor in chief of bright
Bart News, the new book is Breaking the Law, exposing
the weaponization of America's legal system against Donald Trump. He's
with us here in eleven ten kfab Alex speak to
those who say yes, but these judges, with Democrats not
in power in the Senate of the House, these judges
are America's last hope against a president of the United

(04:04):
States who has run rough shot over the Constitution and
breaks the law every single day. If not for these judges,
we'd have and we would have a monarchy. In this country.

Speaker 3 (04:14):
Yeah, this is what this mindset is explained so much
of what we've witnessed over the last decade since Trump
came down that escalator. Think about what happened during the
first administration where Trump one shocked everyone. They literally couldn't
believe it happened. And what did they do. They found
hoax after hoax, namely the Russia collusion hoax to try

(04:36):
to tie up his agenda, to make it so that
he couldn't operate as president and really slowed down the
progress of the administration and neutralize it to sort of
nullify the twenty sixteen election. That was the real goal.
You've seen his post presidency. Of the main cases that
I went through, they're all dramatic, they're all offensive, But
the most efensive thing was the jack Smith appointment as

(04:57):
Special Council. Because Jacksmith's was unconstitutional. He did not exist,
his job did not exist. But no one figured this
out for eighteen months. So for eighteen months, he can investigate,
he could subpoena documents, he could have witnesses, he could
compile thousands and thousands of thousands of pages of information,
and he could leak selectively to the Washington Post to
control the news cycle. This is what they're going to do.

(05:20):
And so now they've got the same mindset with these judges.
Now the judges can block as much of Trump's agenda
as they can, and then a lot of them can
overturn an appeal. But it's burning clock, It's burning the
most precious resource and executive branch has, which is time.

Speaker 2 (05:37):
I love saying the name Breitbart. I miss Andrew and
I know you do as well. I can't believe it's
been over thirteen years since he passed away. He was
always great to come on radio programs I've been a
part of for years. You were his first employee. You were,
i think still in college when he when he hired

(05:58):
you and said all right, here's what I'm thinking and
here's what I'm doing. What did he tell you about
the hire and what you guys would be doing. And
as you're looking at what's going on in this country
and the work that you're doing now with the books
and with Breitbart News, how is his vision still put
in place today?

Speaker 3 (06:17):
Yeah, Andrew was the pioneer of conservative new media. There's
no one who holds a candle to him in this
regard because he gave us these tactics. He didn't just
give us arguments, but he gave us these tactics that
we all use. First of all, understanding that the left
is run by these core institutions. It used to be
Hollywood and the establishment media used to really be the

(06:39):
power centers on the institutional left. I think now it's
moved to the corporate boardrooms, into the law fair superstructure.
But he understood this idea that we need to defeat.
We need to win the culture wars first and the
culture's upstream of politics, and how do we do that.
We can't just do that with great arguments. I mean,
you can read National Review, you can get some great arguments,
but that's not enough. You need to be fighters. You

(07:02):
need to be fun you need to be able to
be provocateurs. You need to be able to get people's attention.
You need to be funny. And him using those tactics
I think really opened up the conservative movement and I
think he would have been so thrilled with what's going
on today. Donald Trump is basically a stand up roast comedian.
You see how the laughter all joyless goals, and you

(07:22):
know they gave us Sydney Sweeney like, we get to
have the hop walms and the jeans. This is the
conservative movement Andrew wanted and we're all lucky that he
paid the way for us.

Speaker 2 (07:32):
Yeah, we were carrying the president's news conference live yesterday,
noting how the journalists were all in there laughing with
the president as he was needling them and other people
on the stage with him. It is it's must listen
radio when he comes on. And as are you, Alex,
Great to have you with us here, Editor in chief
of bright Bart News. The new book which is out

(07:54):
now anywhere you get your books, Breaking the Law, exposing
the weaponization of America's legal system against Donald Trump. Alex,
thanks so much for the time today.

Speaker 3 (08:04):
Got you too, kind appreciate you.

Speaker 2 (08:05):
Yesterday, most of the program was taken up with a
news conference headed up by the President of the United
States Donald Jay Trump, and he had a whole bunch
of people in his cabinet up there, at the Attorney
General's Defense secretary and others up there talking about how
it's not it wasn't just about Washington, d C. Is

(08:27):
riddle with crime and homelessness, and we've got to clean
up our nation's capital. This is an embarrassment. I think
I really believe this was a call to other cities, mayors,
attorneys general, and governors to take a look at their
own cities. What would be the shining jewel of their

(08:48):
area and is there anything that they can do to
clean things up. Now that makes people very, very nervous
because what the president is doing is he's called out
the National Guard, and people are like, but it's these
are Americans in some instances, and we've got Lucy. Your

(09:09):
mic is still on, by the way, you're making me nervous.
What no, No, I just it makes me nervous when
your mic is just left open. So I had to
call you out on it all right, By the way,
I don't know if you can hear all the drilling
and everything in the background, there's just a really loud, annoying, aggravating,

(09:30):
constant sound right now. And we got guys out there drilling.
Maybe we should just hang a microphone out the window
and just put that on there. And people are like, oh,
Scott's on fire today. It's just the sound of.

Speaker 4 (09:48):
Construction workers on a hidden mic. Now, that's a good idea.

Speaker 2 (09:52):
I don't think anyone could tell the difference. They're like, Wow,
Scott's show has never been better. He's on fire. Listen
to him. He's all mad. That's what the drilling and
the construction work sounds like. What are they doing out there?
Nobody knows? How long will it take? Anyone's guess two weeks?
There's your eighties movie reference for this segment of the

(10:13):
radio program. Lucy got anything on that one? How long
is it gonna take? Two weeks? No money, pit Ah,
we don't quote that one enough love that. Let's try
Brad Brad, Brad or bad so where the President has
called out the National Guard against people here in America

(10:38):
and people are like, this is.

Speaker 1 (10:39):
The terrible thing.

Speaker 2 (10:40):
It's the militarization against American citizens. All right. I'm not
saying I love the idea, but let's also look at
why it's happening. Is because President Trump is like, hey,
there are people in this country that don't support me.
Ordered door with the military and make them bend to

(11:02):
my will. That's not what's happening. Yes it is. No,
it's not calmed down, calm down, It's okay, it's okay.
That's not what's happening. What's happening is local police are
overwhelmed by the amount of crime that's happening in Washington,
DC and in many areas across the country. They need help.

(11:28):
So the President is using what's at its disposal to
be able to help in Washington, d C where they
have some And there's of course, as we're just talking
about with Alex Marlow from Breitbart, there's some legal issues
as to whether or not the president can do this.
Why oh, because it's a day that ends, and why
the president is doing something and a judge is like,

(11:51):
I don't know if he can do it. I'm gonna
try and stop him every single day everything the President does. Meanwhile,
if they're in Washington, d C, these judges know they
need to have security to get out of the office building,
back to their car, from their car to their home,
to protect their families, not because they're judges, but just
because they're in that area. And the President is saying,

(12:13):
all right, let's stop the crime. Let's get after it here.
We don't need to have a community here that's crime
riddled and filthy. Let's get it under control. So the
Home Rule Act has been instituted for d C, providing
for greater local control and that's not just I mean,

(12:34):
this is specifically for the president in d C. But
it also gives Mayor John Ewing, for example, or Mayor
Galer Baird Larryan glor Baird of Lincoln, who still is
unavailable to come on this radio show in perpetuity, gives
him the opportunity to exercise greater local control and use

(12:57):
federal resources if necessary, to get their own communities cleaned up.
And South Lincoln on Friday night, I guess there was
a fifteen person fight. Some girl took a metal pipe
to some guy's head during the fight. It's, you know,
a battle Royale broke out and we don't know where
or why or why it just said South Lincoln. Oh,

(13:19):
that narrows it down. Liked the story the other day
about there was a guy who got shot through the
feet in his home in Millard. Like where in Millard? Millard?
I had to find you know, I searched for three
different news sources before I could find out where it was.
One near one twenty fourth and v Streets, VIA's and Voorhees.

(13:45):
Guy was shot through the feet. He was sitting inside
his home four to twenty in the afternoon. Now, come
on sorry, I'm just sighing. I'm just sighing. Yeah, at four,
here you go, you don't know. At four to twenty

(14:05):
in the afternoon, the guy was inside his home, uh huh,
when suddenly a bullet was fired from outside his house
came through. I don't know his window, his dry wall,
his open front door, I don't know. The guy sitting
inside his house. He was struck by a bullet fired
from outside, and it went through one foot, entered the foot,

(14:28):
exited the foot, and then went into his other foot.
The guy was shot through the feet, shot through both feet.
I hope someone's carrying this guy around. That is monumentally
bad luck. Both feet.

Speaker 1 (14:45):
You couldn't do that if you tried as a marksman.

Speaker 2 (14:48):
Billy the kid could. Maybe do you ever see what
he did with the candles? No, there's your eighties movie
reference for this segment of the radio program.

Speaker 1 (14:56):
Would that be Young Guns?

Speaker 2 (14:58):
Young Guns Do? And I think that's actually nineties, Let's
go nineties. I want to say nineteen ninety on young
Guns to We'll go nineties movie reference. So there is
crime everywhere. Trump is saying let's get a handle on it,
and people are automatically fighting him.

Speaker 3 (15:20):
On it.

Speaker 2 (15:21):
I'm going to send the National Guard out there to
deal with American citizens. That's what police do. Why aren't
other communities saying what else can we do to make
our community a safe place where people feel it can
feel fore to congregate, to hang out with their families,
to go down to music festivals, to sit in their
own house and not get shot in the feet? What

(15:42):
else can people do to get a handle on crime
in their own communities? Why aren't other people doing this instead?
They're just fighting Trump on it. Is it because they
like crime or hate Trump? It's probably more the latter.
And as long as he's doing it, I guess he's
not allowed to do any of it. We had some

(16:04):
crime here in Omaha surrounding a two night community festival
in northeast Omaha. Something that one of those community leaders
said in the wake of it got my attention. I'll
let you know who said what next. After a Fox
News update shortly Scott Scott atkfab dot com is the

(16:24):
email address love to hear from you. Charles says that
Lincoln fight was at thirteenth An e on Friday, within
range of the State Capitol building. Well, I didn't see
that any members of the legislature were arrested, though, I'm
sure that many of them were jealous that other people
were out there fighting near the Capitol, just fistfighting and

(16:47):
hitting each other in the head with pipes. Just brain
a guy with a pipe. You don't think Megan Hunt
would love to do that. Just find any Republican leaning
member of the unicamer and just braining him with a
metal pipe. She would love that.

Speaker 1 (17:05):
Now, Scott, but she would, I don't think so.

Speaker 2 (17:07):
Yes, she would. So we are talking about how President
Trump is.

Speaker 4 (17:14):
He says, like.

Speaker 2 (17:15):
Time to get the National Guard out there and clean
up the nation's capital, and people are like, I don't
know why he's sending the military out to deal with
American citizens. Is that what he's doing or is he
looking to empower other leaders of other communities across the
country to do whatever is necessary to clean crime and
homelessness and vandalism and speeding cars and all the rest

(17:38):
of this from our communities. I hate to admit it,
I kind of like it, and people you just like
it because it's a Republican president doing it, and you're
a conservative talk radio host. If President Biden, we're sending
the National Guard out. You know, you wouldn't like, well,
for what reason would he be doing it? Because I

(17:59):
can imagine it would be this one. But I'm willing
to take it all on a case by case basis.
For example, there was crime two nights in a row
at a community event, not this past weekend, but the
previous weekend in Northeast Omaha. It was Native Omaha Days. Lucy,
did you get invited to Native Omaha Days? You're a

(18:20):
Native Omaha.

Speaker 1 (18:21):
I am a Native Omaha, But oh I did not?
So am I?

Speaker 4 (18:25):
Well?

Speaker 2 (18:25):
I know they're going to say it's a community event
and it's a festival that I guess they do this
every year and everyone's invited. I don't know though, because
I was reading one of the reports here because it
talked about they were looking at the successes and failures
of Native Omaha Days twenty twenty five. Remember two weekends ago,

(18:47):
nine people were shot and one person was killed, A
twenty two year old person was killed by gunfire. And
this was over two nights. So a bunch of people
got shot one night and they're like, we're still going
to do it tomorrow night. Heck yes, Which I actually
don't hate that idea otherwise the terrorists win. But they

(19:11):
over two nights, saw several people shot and one person
killed in the And it wasn't like it was part
of the festivities. It's not, hey, come over here, We've
got some great food. We've got food trucks set up
over here as a little spray ground. The kids can
play in the water over here, you can shoot a guy.

Speaker 4 (19:31):
You know.

Speaker 2 (19:31):
It wasn't like it was part of the festivities. So
I don't blame the organizers. I imagine the organizers just
trying to do a nice block party for the community
and it erupted into violence two nights in a row,
and so KMTV three News win Now. KMTV three News
Now did a story about talking to the organizers about

(19:54):
these successes and failures of the event. Now, for me,
if I had we have like my daughter graduated from
high school a couple months ago, so we have had
a little graduation party, and afterwards, my wife and I
were talking about these successes and failures of the party,

(20:14):
and it had a similar situation to Native Omaha days.
We might have a conversation to say, a right, let's
not dwell on the negatives. Let's first look on the
bright side. We thought that maybe we wouldn't have enough food.
We had plenty of food, too much food. We're asking
people to take some food home. We were concerned that
maybe there wouldn't be enough places or people to sit.
And of course we were fine there. People were mostly

(20:37):
standing around, gathered talking. We had all the rooms open,
People were able to go in the backyard. The weather
was perfect, so people were able to go outside. If
people had to stay inside for this, that might have
been a problem. Also, nine people were shot. And again
and not looking to dwell on the negatives, but we
did have the problems with the shootings and the dead person.

(20:58):
So I mean, we're when our son graduates in a
couple of years and we do this again, what can
we do to minimize the possibility of the murder at
the graduation party. So I understand it's hard to look
at these successes when there's a chalk outline on the ground.

(21:19):
But that's not what they talked about. KMTV talked with
someone there and she said, quote, what I loved and
what I heard today is how the community came together
and really trying to make sure we stay connected even
after this. All right, good, good, good, And then she said,

(21:41):
and how we support those black owned businesses on twenty
fourth Street unquote? Now here's and I don't know if
she knows this, but there are a multitude of business
is on twenty fourth Street, and not all of them

(22:03):
are black owned. Somehow, and I don't know who was
able to grease what skids to make this happen, grease
the palms, you know, bribe someone pay, but they let
some white people own some businesses along twenty and there
are Hispanic owned businesses there and Asian owned businesses along

(22:24):
twenty fourth Street. And it's not like, yeah, I'm looking
for a job, Well you're the you're the wrong color.
We don't hire your kind here. It's it's a it's
an interesting melting pot of businesses owned by whether it's
this or that race. And then people who work there

(22:45):
and shop there and eat there and all the rest
of it, or go to college there, tend to be
from all different ethnicities. Everyone's welcome. It's it's interesting here
that we had the news talk to someone. So what
we got to be out there to support those black
owned businesses? What about because I in case you're like Scott,

(23:09):
are you just making this up?

Speaker 1 (23:10):
Or did you check? I checked.

Speaker 2 (23:12):
I just like, let's make sure. I just picked a
random business on twenty fourth Street and looked up who
the owner was, and it's actually a pretty prominent, well
known hunky. I'm white Caucasian guy here in our community.
I'm not gonna say who it is. I don't want
people to go which business has got a pale face running.

(23:36):
I don't want people to start having race riots over
who owns and owns what business. They might not know
that that white he owns a business over well, apparently
it matters to someone. I'm sorry for throwing around the
racial invective, but let's see if there had been a

(24:02):
community event and the news came out and talked with
someone who was part of the event, and the guy said, oh,
I just like how the community came together. We've got
to really get together and support those white owned businesses
here in our neighborhood. Do you think that maybe the
response from the community might be a little different than

(24:24):
someone coming out saying, well, we need to support those
black owned businesses here in this neighborhood. And you do
you need to support the black owned but the Asian,
the white, the Hispanic, the Eskimo, the Inuit, the blind,
black Russians. I don't know whoever it is that runs

(24:46):
whatever business, Sam Owens, you got Pacific Islanders maybe running business.
I don't know. I didn't go door to door and
go yeah, I want to know the ethnicity of the
people that run this place. They would fit me for
a hood if I did that. I'm pretty pale, so
they you know. It just seems though that if people,

(25:10):
let's also look at this comment this way, if people
established a business in this part of Northeast Omaha, I
presume it's because they're here as part of the community
and they want to help this part of the community
get what they need, whether it's anything from food to
clothing to auto parts whatever. Do you honestly think in

(25:34):
Northeast Omaha that there are white people that own businesses
there going all right, we're going to start up a business.
I hope no black people come in here. Is the
insinuation that if you're a white person that owns a
business in Northeast Omaha, that you're not worth supporting, that
you're not part of the community. There's no color bar

(25:55):
for coming into or out of, or running a place
or living there that we don't have that. Wouldn't you
want to support all the businesses that are there in
your community. I don't know if you could catch it
from my comments here, but I didn't appreciate the comments
of this person. I'm not going to name the person

(26:16):
who said this, but it was in the news the
other night, and I thought that was a thought. That
was a bad comment. Support all the businesses in your community,
especially news radio eleven ten kfab. We're proud to be here, Scott.

Speaker 1 (26:38):
Voice, news Radio eleven ten kfab.

Speaker 2 (26:42):
Hey, did you hear the good news from the city
of Omaha yesterday?

Speaker 3 (26:44):
No?

Speaker 1 (26:45):
What is it?

Speaker 2 (26:46):
This is great? We're going to stop the storms.

Speaker 1 (26:49):
What I was thinking about writing a letter to Trump? Please, sir?
Can you please stop harp?

Speaker 3 (26:59):
No?

Speaker 2 (26:59):
I don't know that President Trump is orchestrating nobody knows
people storms he does. I would imagine that the public
works director in Blair, Nebraska would contact the president and go,
is there anything you can do? We just it seems
like Blair for the last ten to fifteen years is

(27:20):
just it's like Mother Nature's punching bag.

Speaker 4 (27:24):
What's the minerals that is living underneath the.

Speaker 1 (27:28):
Land of Blair? The rare earth minerals. Yeah, what is it?

Speaker 2 (27:33):
Don't I don't know. Do you think you think that?
So wait a second, are you saying.

Speaker 1 (27:40):
Sounds like Lucy has a conspiracy theory.

Speaker 2 (27:43):
That the United States government is trying to get people
to move out of Blair so they can move into
the area and rob them of all their rare earth
minerals that are there under the surface of the community
of Blair. That's what you're saying.

Speaker 4 (27:58):
I'm not exactly saying that. I'm saying, look at Hawaii.
I'm saying, look at North Carolina and look at the
LA fires.

Speaker 2 (28:06):
All right, Well, yeah, Blair is usually right there with Hawaii,
so I could see where you would lump the two.
I'm just saying they had that the storm blow through
there on Saturday and major damage in that community as
well as here in the city of Omaha. And Mayor
John Ewing put out a dispatch yesterday that says we're
going to open up. We're going to keep open both

(28:27):
tree debris collection locations through today. That's good, Heplinger Park
and Tahazuka Elcorn. But it also said the city is
also working on a comprehensive storm response plan given the
increased tempo and nature of damaging storms. We're going to
respond to the increased tempo and nature of damaging storms.

(28:50):
I take that to mean as we're stopping the storms.
