WEBVTT - How Dems Shred All Norms 0:00:01.000 --> 0:00:15.840 You are entering the Freedom Hudge. Attorney General Barr nails 0:00:15.880 --> 0:00:21.040 the crazy left Trump to testify over impeachment. FedEx gets 0:00:21.040 --> 0:00:24.040 called out by The New York Times, but FedEx claps back. 0:00:24.600 --> 0:00:27.920 Prince Andrew does a disastrous interview, Blasi Ford gets an 0:00:27.920 --> 0:00:31.680 ACLU award, and Charlie's Angels flops. We got that and 0:00:31.800 --> 0:00:36.160 more coming up. This is the buck Sexton Show, where 0:00:36.159 --> 0:00:39.199 the mission or mission is to decode what really matters 0:00:39.360 --> 0:00:45.720 with actionable intelligence. Mag no mistake, American, You're a great 0:00:45.760 --> 0:00:54.280 American Again, the buck Sexton Show begins. He's a great guy. Now, 0:00:55.360 --> 0:00:57.480 Welcome to the buck Sexton Show. Everybody, thank you for 0:00:57.720 --> 0:01:00.120 being here with me. It's a bit of a cold 0:01:00.120 --> 0:01:02.240 and dreary Monday in New York City, hopefully a little 0:01:02.240 --> 0:01:05.720 more charming wherever you are across the country and around 0:01:05.720 --> 0:01:07.440 the world. But the good news is when it's not 0:01:07.520 --> 0:01:10.240 beautiful and sunny outside, there is no better place to 0:01:10.360 --> 0:01:13.080 be than in the Freedom Hunt. Here with producer Mark, 0:01:13.560 --> 0:01:16.160 who even on the darkest days, is a ray of 0:01:16.200 --> 0:01:20.479 sunshine for all of us. So let's get to what 0:01:20.640 --> 0:01:24.479 when I wanted to begin are a deep dive into 0:01:24.520 --> 0:01:27.759 all things that matter today. With and that is the 0:01:27.800 --> 0:01:31.160 Attorney General speaking over the weekend. Now we have all 0:01:31.200 --> 0:01:37.560 of this focus on the impeachment proceedings and more witnesses 0:01:37.600 --> 0:01:39.360 this week. Vin Minn is going to be one of them. 0:01:39.400 --> 0:01:41.120 There are a few other witnesses I believe, in aid 0:01:41.160 --> 0:01:45.679 to Vice President Pence will speak. And there is a 0:01:45.840 --> 0:01:49.680 clear idea from the Democrats on the left of what's 0:01:49.680 --> 0:01:51.680 supposed to happen here, which is that the steady drum 0:01:51.720 --> 0:01:54.920 beat of witness witness witness polls that are negative for 0:01:54.920 --> 0:01:57.520 the president, witnesses that are negative for the president, that 0:01:57.600 --> 0:02:02.920 this will shape opinion over time. Even if you don't 0:02:03.000 --> 0:02:06.120 view this, or you haven't viewed this from the beginning 0:02:06.600 --> 0:02:10.520 as a worthwhile exercise, you feel like they're trying to 0:02:10.560 --> 0:02:14.560 make this allegation against the president seemed much more damaging 0:02:14.600 --> 0:02:17.200 than it really is. They're hyping this whole thing up. 0:02:17.240 --> 0:02:20.840 Even if you feel that way, certainly I do, and 0:02:21.160 --> 0:02:25.359 then some even stronger, even more strongly than I've described there. 0:02:26.480 --> 0:02:31.200 The media understands that part of the effect of propaganda 0:02:31.280 --> 0:02:34.400 is to shift opinion through repetition. One of the things 0:02:34.400 --> 0:02:37.600 that they can accomplish is just by saying day in 0:02:37.800 --> 0:02:41.000 and day out. The president's going to be the president 0:02:41.040 --> 0:02:43.519 should be impeached. He's going to be impeached. The public 0:02:43.600 --> 0:02:47.360 is against the president. People start to even subconsciously say 0:02:47.400 --> 0:02:52.480 to themselves, Wow, I guess there really is a means 0:02:52.639 --> 0:02:57.480 for there really is a necessity for impeachment here. And remember, 0:02:57.480 --> 0:03:00.680 they're not going to convince you and me, or at 0:03:00.760 --> 0:03:03.280 least those of you who like me are very supportive 0:03:03.320 --> 0:03:08.400 of the president despite understanding his flaws. What they're hoping 0:03:08.560 --> 0:03:11.480 is that they can just edge up enough of the 0:03:11.480 --> 0:03:15.840 opposition to the president from the roughly forty percent of 0:03:15.919 --> 0:03:18.919 liberals who will believe anything about Trump, will do anything 0:03:18.919 --> 0:03:21.040 to get rid of Trump, to get it just above 0:03:21.080 --> 0:03:23.720 that you keep saying these polls the fifty one percent mark. 0:03:24.600 --> 0:03:29.480 They're hoping that if they can manage that accomplishment, then 0:03:29.520 --> 0:03:31.480 there'll be enough of a ground swell to get rid 0:03:31.560 --> 0:03:37.360 of this president, and perhaps not through the removal proceeding 0:03:37.760 --> 0:03:40.320 by the Senate after a Senate trial, but that he 0:03:40.360 --> 0:03:44.880 will go into reelection wounded in the court of public opinion. 0:03:44.960 --> 0:03:50.120 He will go into reelection with a newly emboldened left 0:03:50.120 --> 0:03:58.240 wing opposition against him and a somewhat chasten demoralized Trump support. 0:03:59.400 --> 0:04:01.280 That is the purpose of all of this. That's what 0:04:01.320 --> 0:04:03.360 they have been saying all along. But I wanted to 0:04:03.360 --> 0:04:06.000 take a step back from this for a minute, because 0:04:06.080 --> 0:04:11.200 part of the justification of the impeachment proceeding part whatever, 0:04:11.720 --> 0:04:13.960 now it's now it's full impeachment. It was an inquiry 0:04:14.040 --> 0:04:18.320 whatever they're calling this now now the impeachment investigation is 0:04:18.360 --> 0:04:22.520 that the president has been so terrible that he has 0:04:22.520 --> 0:04:24.880 shredded the constitution. This is what you often here. He 0:04:24.920 --> 0:04:31.000 has been shredding the norms that really hold this country politically, culturally, 0:04:31.080 --> 0:04:36.880 legally together, and that there's really a they're making an 0:04:37.000 --> 0:04:40.280 argument that it is the totality of all things Trump 0:04:40.320 --> 0:04:44.240 that is impeachable. It's not even just any one specific act, 0:04:44.320 --> 0:04:47.040 of course, it can't be. They keep changing what that 0:04:47.160 --> 0:04:50.760 specific act would be with every passing week, with each 0:04:50.760 --> 0:04:55.200 passing day. In some cases, Molluman's clause, Russia collusion, quid 0:04:55.200 --> 0:04:59.720 pro quo, twenty fifth Amendment. Just go down the list 0:04:59.760 --> 0:05:02.080 of all these different things that they say they're going 0:05:02.120 --> 0:05:04.839 to either use or will be the justification for using 0:05:05.880 --> 0:05:08.560 as a means of getting rid of the president. It's 0:05:08.560 --> 0:05:10.680 a it's a cycle it's a rotation. It's this, it's that, 0:05:10.720 --> 0:05:13.560 it's this, it's that, and now you're seeing that. To 0:05:13.640 --> 0:05:18.120 hold all this together to be the overarching theme for 0:05:18.400 --> 0:05:22.799 the series of narratives about Trump being reckless and destroying 0:05:22.800 --> 0:05:27.560 the country is that he is destroying the norms. He 0:05:27.680 --> 0:05:32.800 is shredding the rule of law. And what I really 0:05:32.800 --> 0:05:35.080 liked is that this week at Attorney General bar who 0:05:35.120 --> 0:05:38.080 you know is effective because the left hates him. This 0:05:38.120 --> 0:05:43.400 is a guy who's a very yeah, pretty uh laid back, 0:05:43.640 --> 0:05:49.360 i'd say, in his demeanor, a lawyer's lawyer. Was in 0:05:49.400 --> 0:05:52.919 the specifically in the part of the Dutch Department before 0:05:53.000 --> 0:05:57.080 where the lawyers who evaluate what is what is department policy, 0:05:57.120 --> 0:06:00.280 what is constitutional, what is not. So he's a brilliant lawyer. 0:06:00.279 --> 0:06:02.520 They keep saying he's a hatchetman for Trump, even though 0:06:02.760 --> 0:06:04.560 he had already been Attorney general and there was no 0:06:04.600 --> 0:06:08.000 one saying he was a hatchetman them. Then he's a 0:06:08.000 --> 0:06:10.320 brilliant lawyer. Though he spoke at the Federalist Society of 0:06:10.400 --> 0:06:13.640 the weekend and it was a brilliant speech. I know 0:06:13.640 --> 0:06:15.120 a lot of you aren't another time to watch the 0:06:15.200 --> 0:06:18.320 whole hour and thirty minutes or so of it. But 0:06:18.440 --> 0:06:22.480 I would tell you could just jump to the latter portion, 0:06:22.640 --> 0:06:25.440 last thirty minutes or so, where he really gets into 0:06:25.480 --> 0:06:29.719 the meat of what's going on right now, of the 0:06:29.760 --> 0:06:32.600 way the resistance is waging its campaign against the president, 0:06:32.880 --> 0:06:35.480 and how it is they who are trashing the rule 0:06:35.520 --> 0:06:39.960 of law. They're the ones who are discarding norms and 0:06:40.120 --> 0:06:42.880 engaging in a scorched earth campaign against the president. And 0:06:43.000 --> 0:06:47.200 this one we had a couple moments here, But first 0:06:47.240 --> 0:06:49.320 he gets into the tactics of a left and then 0:06:49.360 --> 0:06:53.280 he will get into who really who are the left 0:06:53.360 --> 0:06:55.520 these days? When I use that term, we get to 0:06:55.560 --> 0:06:58.680 the phrase, But first, let's start with the tactical approach. 0:06:58.880 --> 0:07:03.320 This was a brilliant amation from a fantastic lawyer who 0:07:03.360 --> 0:07:05.720 knows what the president is up against, who's on the 0:07:05.720 --> 0:07:10.680 front lines as the attorney general of the judicial overreach 0:07:10.720 --> 0:07:13.680 that is a tool against the president. They're pretty open 0:07:13.680 --> 0:07:17.680 about the hashtag resistance judiciary. Here's the Attorney General saying 0:07:17.760 --> 0:07:21.040 for himself, please play clip two. Unfortunately, just in the 0:07:21.080 --> 0:07:25.600 past few years, we have seen these conflicts take on 0:07:25.680 --> 0:07:31.360 an entirely new character. Immediately after President Trump won election, 0:07:31.560 --> 0:07:37.200 opponents inaugurated what they called the resistance, and they rallied 0:07:37.240 --> 0:07:42.920 around an explicit strategy of using every tool and maneuver 0:07:43.280 --> 0:07:49.200 to sabotage the functioning of the executive branch and his administration. 0:07:50.040 --> 0:07:52.720 The fact of the matter is that in waging a 0:07:52.920 --> 0:08:00.000 scorched earth, no holds barred war of resistance against this administration, 0:08:00.840 --> 0:08:04.440 it is the left that is engaged in the systematic 0:08:04.680 --> 0:08:10.560 shredding of norms and undermining the rule of law. Every 0:08:11.120 --> 0:08:14.760 American needs to hear that speech. A lot of them 0:08:14.840 --> 0:08:19.000 will disagree say that Barr is just a tool of Trump. 0:08:19.920 --> 0:08:22.760 This is the crux of what we are seeing right 0:08:22.800 --> 0:08:27.119 now with impeachment, with the Democrat and the lefts war 0:08:27.360 --> 0:08:34.559 on this president, abusing the bureaucracy, weaponizing the intelligence community, 0:08:35.240 --> 0:08:39.800 usurping executive authority through the judicial branch. This is what 0:08:39.840 --> 0:08:42.880 they are doing, and it is in fact, very much 0:08:43.360 --> 0:08:46.360 out of the Saul Olinsky playbook. This goes back to 0:08:47.840 --> 0:08:53.839 the community, the origins of community organizers and doing things that, 0:08:53.880 --> 0:08:57.720 while not explicitly illegal, are meant to use the system 0:08:57.720 --> 0:09:03.479 against itself to shut it down. We'll get into universal injunctions, 0:09:03.520 --> 0:09:06.560 which the Attorney General speaks about at some length in 0:09:06.600 --> 0:09:09.920 just a few minutes. That's one of the primary methods 0:09:10.080 --> 0:09:14.920 of sabotage used against this administration. Judges have been essential 0:09:14.960 --> 0:09:18.280 in this process to the left, and they've been acting 0:09:18.320 --> 0:09:21.000 in bad faith, and their decisions are appalling, and they 0:09:21.040 --> 0:09:23.880 do violence to the rule of law while saying they 0:09:23.920 --> 0:09:28.840 are protecting the rule of law. But the systematic shredding 0:09:28.880 --> 0:09:30.720 of norms and undermining the rule of law is what 0:09:30.800 --> 0:09:35.120 the left has completely embraced in the era of Trump. 0:09:35.360 --> 0:09:39.680 And they accuse us, they accuse our side of doing that. 0:09:40.320 --> 0:09:43.080 They're the ones who say that this president is a fascist, 0:09:43.440 --> 0:09:49.560 this president's an authoritarian. Meanwhile, there are six hundred judges 0:09:49.559 --> 0:09:52.199 on the federal bench from what bar sent him his speech. 0:09:52.200 --> 0:09:54.400 If you count them all up, you know all the 0:09:54.400 --> 0:09:57.840 different judges, circuit judges, and feder judges across the country. 0:09:58.760 --> 0:10:03.320 Any one of them has been able to shut down 0:10:03.720 --> 0:10:09.400 administration policy at any point in time. It's appalling what 0:10:09.559 --> 0:10:12.400 they have been doing. How could anyone have faith at 0:10:12.400 --> 0:10:16.360 the rule of law is universally applicable to all people 0:10:16.360 --> 0:10:20.199 in this country, that the justice system isn't just now 0:10:20.240 --> 0:10:23.240 a series of excuses used by the left to get 0:10:23.280 --> 0:10:25.480 what they want when they want it, that's what the 0:10:25.559 --> 0:10:29.200 system has delivered. Or to undermine the system and say 0:10:29.240 --> 0:10:34.439 that it's biased, it's unfair. The ideology of intersectionality, the 0:10:34.480 --> 0:10:37.120 Marxism underlying all of this on the left is a 0:10:37.160 --> 0:10:41.120 constant excuse for, well, the very system itself is imbalanced. 0:10:41.800 --> 0:10:43.840 One day, it's we have to do whatever the system 0:10:43.880 --> 0:10:46.559 says when they like it. When the election happen. When 0:10:46.559 --> 0:10:51.840 Obama wins the election, it's election, elections have consequences. When 0:10:51.840 --> 0:10:53.880 Trump wins the election, it's let's get rid of the 0:10:53.880 --> 0:10:58.760 electoral college, let's add seats to the next president who's 0:10:58.800 --> 0:11:02.240 a Democrat, so that they can stack the Supreme Court. 0:11:03.880 --> 0:11:06.480 That all of a sudden, institutions don't matter. And they 0:11:06.559 --> 0:11:08.720 keep doing this, and they seem to think that we 0:11:08.800 --> 0:11:13.400 don't recognize, but we do recognize. We understand that they 0:11:13.440 --> 0:11:17.960 want what they want. But perhaps even more important in 0:11:18.000 --> 0:11:22.720 some ways than when Barre illustrated the processes by which 0:11:22.720 --> 0:11:25.600 the left is undermining the processes of government, the ways 0:11:25.640 --> 0:11:30.240 in which they are duplicitous when they talk about institutions 0:11:30.280 --> 0:11:33.240 and rule of law. How it's not serious, it's not 0:11:33.320 --> 0:11:38.920 rooted in principle, it's completely the system a la carte. 0:11:38.960 --> 0:11:40.679 Some days they want to order this, some days they 0:11:40.720 --> 0:11:43.559 want to order that. It doesn't matter what they did 0:11:43.559 --> 0:11:51.440 the day before. Barr also understands why liberals feel this way. 0:11:51.800 --> 0:11:54.880 What is it about the left wing mentality? And this 0:11:54.960 --> 0:12:01.640 is true, This is the primary psychological emotional motivation that 0:12:01.679 --> 0:12:04.960 the left has for so many of the policies, really 0:12:04.960 --> 0:12:09.439 for the majority of the primary issues that you look 0:12:09.480 --> 0:12:12.000 at today that this country faces. Why does the left 0:12:12.040 --> 0:12:17.400 take the approach that it does. What is their governing philosophy, 0:12:17.559 --> 0:12:21.120 or rather, what is their philosophy of life that makes 0:12:21.120 --> 0:12:24.280 them want to leverage the government so that it can 0:12:24.320 --> 0:12:27.840 control every aspect of life? Why do they want this? 0:12:27.960 --> 0:12:32.560 Why does the left think this way? Well, the Attorney 0:12:32.600 --> 0:12:37.520 General in his speech nailed it. Please play Prus marclip three. 0:12:38.520 --> 0:12:43.880 In any age, the so called progresses treat politics as 0:12:43.920 --> 0:12:49.400 a religion. Their holy mission is to use the coercive 0:12:49.440 --> 0:12:53.920 power of the state to remake man and society in 0:12:53.960 --> 0:12:59.400 their own image, according to an abstract ideal of perfection. 0:13:01.040 --> 0:13:06.360 Whatever means they use are therefore justified, because by definition 0:13:07.120 --> 0:13:14.280 they are virtuous people pursuing a end. They are willing 0:13:14.320 --> 0:13:19.240 to use any means necessary. To gain momentary advantage in 0:13:19.360 --> 0:13:24.400 achieving their end, regardless of the collateral consequences and the 0:13:24.520 --> 0:13:29.760 systemic implications. They never ask whether the action they take 0:13:30.360 --> 0:13:33.920 could be justified as a general rule of conduct equally 0:13:33.960 --> 0:13:39.600 applicable to all sides. When the left has power, it 0:13:39.720 --> 0:13:43.360 must be utilized in service of this mission of the 0:13:43.440 --> 0:13:48.360 daification of man through government. Government will make us better 0:13:48.360 --> 0:13:50.800 than we would otherwise be. But whatever power is used 0:13:50.840 --> 0:13:55.480 to that end is inherently justified. But when people that 0:13:55.600 --> 0:14:01.520 don't agree with their government ends are in power, then 0:14:01.559 --> 0:14:04.760 that same mentality goes in reverse. It's no longer justifiable 0:14:04.800 --> 0:14:09.079 to use government, say to protect individual freedoms to do less. 0:14:09.280 --> 0:14:12.319 Now it must be the case that anything is justified 0:14:12.840 --> 0:14:16.200 against that cause. If they can do anything they want, 0:14:16.240 --> 0:14:18.480 because they know that if they have the power of government, 0:14:18.480 --> 0:14:22.240 they will make a utopia here in this country. Then 0:14:22.280 --> 0:14:24.960 when people who disagree with them are in power, they 0:14:25.080 --> 0:14:28.360 must do in their own mind whatever they have to 0:14:28.800 --> 0:14:31.320 in order to rest power away from those people to 0:14:31.400 --> 0:14:37.160 create the utopia that they have been promising. It is 0:14:37.320 --> 0:14:41.960 one of the best summations of left wing thought left 0:14:41.960 --> 0:14:45.320 wing ideology I have ever come across. It is devastating 0:14:45.320 --> 0:14:48.560 in its truth, and it is necessary for all people, 0:14:48.640 --> 0:14:51.800 even leftists who will discount it, to hear because it 0:14:52.000 --> 0:14:53.920 is what we face right now in this country, and 0:14:54.040 --> 0:14:58.120 not just turning for a moment to the specifics of 0:14:58.320 --> 0:15:01.480 how the process is used against the President of the 0:15:01.560 --> 0:15:04.760 United States and the ways that this is done in 0:15:05.160 --> 0:15:08.840 bad faith. I mentioned universal injunctions when I was in DC. 0:15:09.120 --> 0:15:12.720 Spoke to some senior Department of Justice people about this 0:15:12.800 --> 0:15:15.760 behind closed doors on more than one occasion, and this 0:15:15.840 --> 0:15:21.480 has become a major frustration of the administration, that this 0:15:21.600 --> 0:15:23.760 is really a perversion of the role of the courts, 0:15:24.440 --> 0:15:26.800 and that not only should the courts not be doing 0:15:26.840 --> 0:15:30.920 this as a general rule, there's a a clear change 0:15:30.920 --> 0:15:34.680 in the attitude of left wing judges appointed by left 0:15:34.680 --> 0:15:38.480 wing politicians who think that just because they don't like 0:15:39.120 --> 0:15:42.680 a thing, they have the right to stop it from 0:15:42.680 --> 0:15:48.400 happening and find the flimsiest legal rationale, the flimsiest the 0:15:48.440 --> 0:15:52.840 Administrative Procedure Act, or some other such utter nonsense not 0:15:52.960 --> 0:15:55.640 intended for the purpose that the left is using it. 0:15:55.920 --> 0:16:00.000 Here is the Attorney General speaking about those universal injunction 0:16:00.120 --> 0:16:05.360 pay twenty two. The court's indulgence of such claims, even 0:16:05.760 --> 0:16:10.920 if they are ultimately rejected, represents a serious intrusion on 0:16:11.000 --> 0:16:16.840 the president's constitutional prerogatives. The impact of these judicial intrusions 0:16:16.880 --> 0:16:22.280 on the executive responsibility have been hugely magnified by another 0:16:22.400 --> 0:16:28.280 judicial innovation, the nationwide injunction, first used in nineteen sixty 0:16:28.360 --> 0:16:33.400 three and sparingly since then until recently. These court orders 0:16:33.440 --> 0:16:36.840 enjoined enforcement of a policy not just as to the 0:16:36.920 --> 0:16:42.960 parties before the court, but nationwide against everybody. Now, since 0:16:43.000 --> 0:16:46.200 President Trump has taken office, district courts have issued over 0:16:46.360 --> 0:16:55.080 forty nationwide injunctions against the government. By comparison, during President 0:16:55.080 --> 0:16:59.880 Obama's first two years, district courts had issued two nationwide 0:17:00.000 --> 0:17:03.480 in junctions, both of which immediately vacated by the Ninth Circuit. 0:17:06.480 --> 0:17:11.600 It is no exaggeration to say that virtually every major 0:17:11.680 --> 0:17:15.760 policy of the Trump administration has been subjected to immediate 0:17:15.880 --> 0:17:21.200 freezing by the lower courts. No other president has been 0:17:21.240 --> 0:17:31.280 subjected to such sustained efforts to debilitate his agenda sabotage 0:17:31.720 --> 0:17:35.159 by judges in the name of the very system that 0:17:35.200 --> 0:17:42.040 they are using for the sabotage. It's appalling a twenty 0:17:42.400 --> 0:17:46.840 x increase in universal injunctions from federal judges from Obama 0:17:46.920 --> 0:17:49.159 to Trump of the same period. Does anyone think that 0:17:49.160 --> 0:17:51.840 that's an accident? You might say, well, then why is 0:17:51.880 --> 0:17:55.119 it that this happens in this way? Because the Left 0:17:55.600 --> 0:17:58.320 go back to the justification for all of their actions 0:17:58.320 --> 0:18:05.640 that he gave the day offication, the deification of the 0:18:05.720 --> 0:18:10.000 state and the people in it through government power. How 0:18:10.040 --> 0:18:12.000 can you compete with that? We'll come back team. So, so, 0:18:12.080 --> 0:18:17.840 as I was saying about universal injunctions, the basis for 0:18:17.920 --> 0:18:21.840 this is flimsy enough as it is, because initially you 0:18:21.840 --> 0:18:24.240 would think that it would just enjoy the two parties 0:18:24.240 --> 0:18:26.560 in court. But what ends up happening is someone brings 0:18:27.280 --> 0:18:31.080 they go jurisdiction shopping, usually it is the Ninth Circuit, 0:18:31.960 --> 0:18:36.639 and for pure reasons of policy difference, they will bring 0:18:37.000 --> 0:18:40.200 this suit in a federal court, and any federal judge 0:18:40.240 --> 0:18:45.320 can just say, I forbid the Trump administration from doing 0:18:45.440 --> 0:18:49.119 this thing anywhere in the federal jurisdiction of the United States, 0:18:49.280 --> 0:18:51.800 and until an appeals court comes along, until it makes 0:18:51.800 --> 0:18:56.080 its way up the chain. That is the way the 0:18:56.119 --> 0:18:59.639 system works right now. The only way to go around it, 0:18:59.680 --> 0:19:02.520 the only to deal with it, would be if Trump 0:19:02.720 --> 0:19:06.240 did do something that would start to kick a little 0:19:06.240 --> 0:19:09.240 bit at the load bearing walls of the very separation 0:19:09.240 --> 0:19:10.919 of powers that we have and say, well, we're just 0:19:11.000 --> 0:19:15.680 going to ignore the court. That could happen. Some might 0:19:15.760 --> 0:19:18.520 argue even that that's a necessary thing to happen on 0:19:18.520 --> 0:19:22.280 some of these issues, but that would clearly create a standoff, 0:19:22.800 --> 0:19:26.040 and people would start to ask, well, who which branch 0:19:26.080 --> 0:19:31.280 of government is correct in this one? The decisions that 0:19:31.280 --> 0:19:34.520 are being made by the way these injunctions against Trump 0:19:34.800 --> 0:19:37.679 are wrong. That's one thing about it that's so interesting 0:19:37.720 --> 0:19:40.119 is that they make their way up to higher levels 0:19:40.119 --> 0:19:45.879 in the courts, and overwhelmingly the Trump administration is victorious 0:19:45.920 --> 0:19:47.720 on this. You see this with the travel ban. I 0:19:47.880 --> 0:19:50.320 remember the travel ban. That was what Sally Yates, the 0:19:50.680 --> 0:19:57.480 hashtag resistance Obama appointee interm Attorney General, refused to enforce. 0:19:58.600 --> 0:20:04.119 She was so that the Trump administration was violating the 0:20:04.160 --> 0:20:07.720 Constitution that she disobeyed a direct order from the commander 0:20:07.720 --> 0:20:10.680 in chief as the acting attorney general had to be fired. 0:20:12.560 --> 0:20:17.359 Turns out Trump administration was correct on the merits that 0:20:17.400 --> 0:20:21.560 they're completely within their rights under executive power to have 0:20:21.640 --> 0:20:26.160 a temporary withdrawal of permission to come to the United 0:20:26.200 --> 0:20:29.280 States for aliens from countries that are harboring or have 0:20:30.960 --> 0:20:35.480 terrorist issues. Turns out Trump was right. Do we ever 0:20:35.560 --> 0:20:38.360 hear about how well? Why did wait a second, how 0:20:38.359 --> 0:20:42.080 could the acting Attorney general be so wrong? How could 0:20:42.080 --> 0:20:45.080 she be so ignorant of the law that she would 0:20:45.080 --> 0:20:48.160 disobey a direct order? And turns out the order's lawful 0:20:49.520 --> 0:20:52.360 because she's hashtag resistance. She's also the same person who 0:20:53.000 --> 0:20:55.600 was involved in the pretext of setting up General Flynn, 0:20:56.440 --> 0:20:59.720 sending over FBI agents pretending like their colleagues and just 0:20:59.720 --> 0:21:02.520 work through a quick issue and then maybe you lie 0:21:02.560 --> 0:21:04.639 to us. They changed the three O two the record 0:21:04.680 --> 0:21:08.520 of that FBI meeting after the fact. Lisa Page, in fact, 0:21:08.600 --> 0:21:10.320 was the one who changed it. We remember what she 0:21:10.440 --> 0:21:12.840 thought about Trump and people who voted for Trump, people 0:21:12.880 --> 0:21:16.600 who worked for Trump. We're told that's all a coincidence. 0:21:16.640 --> 0:21:20.720 Though nothing to see there. Oh, that was all a 0:21:20.720 --> 0:21:29.720 completely legitimate law enforcement effort. Universal injunctions are the hijacking 0:21:29.760 --> 0:21:32.680 of the judiciary for anti Trump ends. That's what has 0:21:32.720 --> 0:21:37.600 happened in this country. It has slowed down Trump's agenda 0:21:37.760 --> 0:21:41.560 for people who are upset and I saw the headline 0:21:41.560 --> 0:21:44.320 today that would drudge that there were less deportations under 0:21:44.600 --> 0:21:46.760 Trump than they were under Obama. Will keep in mind 0:21:47.600 --> 0:21:54.560 that Obama not only did not have the judiciary taking 0:21:54.600 --> 0:21:58.199 away his powers as president United States because there are 0:21:58.280 --> 0:22:00.560 some left wing judges who don't like him, they in 0:22:00.600 --> 0:22:04.720 fact would sit by and let him exceed his authority 0:22:04.920 --> 0:22:09.680 as commander in chief, exceed his executive powers as he did. 0:22:09.680 --> 0:22:11.600 When finally the I believe it was the Fifth Circuit 0:22:12.160 --> 0:22:16.159 Court had to say, no, you can't just use prosecutorial 0:22:16.760 --> 0:22:21.960 discretion effectively enforcement prioritization another way of saying it, to 0:22:22.160 --> 0:22:25.639 not only let people stay in the country who are 0:22:25.640 --> 0:22:27.920 in violation of law. This is the whole Dreamer thing. 0:22:27.960 --> 0:22:32.119 This is DACA right deferred action for childhood arrivals. Not 0:22:32.160 --> 0:22:36.200 only is that, by the way, an abuse of executive discretion, 0:22:36.280 --> 0:22:39.840 but to say DAPPA now the parents as well. Well, 0:22:39.840 --> 0:22:43.560 what if the president just says dreamers. If President Obama 0:22:43.560 --> 0:22:46.720 had said dreamers, the parents of dreamers and anybody who 0:22:46.800 --> 0:22:49.359 knows somebody who's either a dreamer or a parent of 0:22:49.440 --> 0:22:53.080 a dreamer, you know, their associates, they all get to 0:22:53.119 --> 0:22:56.720 stay in the country. That's just mass amnesty the executive 0:22:56.720 --> 0:22:59.119 feat would that be okay? I assure you there are 0:22:59.160 --> 0:23:02.280 a lot of left wing federal judges who would say, yes, 0:23:02.880 --> 0:23:05.840 whatever you want to do because they like it. It 0:23:05.840 --> 0:23:09.200 doesn't matter what the law means, what the system would produce. 0:23:09.920 --> 0:23:12.719 If people who are dispassionate about the outcome looked at it, 0:23:13.320 --> 0:23:16.639 they want a certain outcome, they will justify a certain outcome. 0:23:16.680 --> 0:23:19.080 The ends justify the means. That is the approach of 0:23:19.160 --> 0:23:26.080 the American left always. But to add insult to injury, 0:23:26.880 --> 0:23:29.760 Obama does this. The Fifth Circuit says, no, you can't 0:23:29.800 --> 0:23:32.040 do Dappa as well. You can't give people work permits 0:23:32.040 --> 0:23:34.119 and confer all these rights just because you feel like 0:23:34.200 --> 0:23:38.240 it in contravention of congressional intent, which is there are 0:23:38.240 --> 0:23:40.680 immigration laws they have written that are supposed to matter. 0:23:41.119 --> 0:23:44.200 You can't just wipe that all away. It's an enormous 0:23:44.240 --> 0:23:48.800 actual abuse of executive discretion. Obama himself had said he 0:23:48.840 --> 0:23:51.960 did not have the authority to do this as a 0:23:52.000 --> 0:23:54.719 means of trying to pressure Congress to do something, and 0:23:54.760 --> 0:23:58.280 then they didn't, as is their right, and then Obama goes, yeah, 0:23:58.359 --> 0:24:01.439 I'll just do it anyway. Was anyone calling him a 0:24:01.600 --> 0:24:04.600 fascist in the paper, was anyone saying he was an authoritarian. 0:24:05.560 --> 0:24:09.080 He was wiping away the laws of this country because 0:24:09.080 --> 0:24:10.560 he felt like it, because it was the right thing 0:24:10.600 --> 0:24:12.280 to do. That's what he say is the right thing 0:24:12.320 --> 0:24:18.680 to do. And then to bring this full circle, an 0:24:18.720 --> 0:24:23.800 act of discretion by one executive is countermanded. The Trump 0:24:24.280 --> 0:24:27.640 presidency begins. Trump looks at this and says, all right, 0:24:27.680 --> 0:24:29.080 we're going to have to have some kind of a 0:24:29.119 --> 0:24:32.480 negotiation over immigration here. But I'm not going to continue 0:24:32.480 --> 0:24:35.920 this policy of my predecessor, where he decided that under 0:24:35.960 --> 0:24:39.600 his discretion as the president of the United States, there 0:24:39.600 --> 0:24:41.880 would not there would be a top down order through 0:24:41.920 --> 0:24:45.280 the executive branch that these dreamers as they are called, 0:24:45.280 --> 0:24:48.760 these young illegal aliens not all that young now, but 0:24:49.240 --> 0:24:52.240 that they wouldn't be prosecuted. Trump goes, well, no, we're 0:24:52.240 --> 0:24:54.760 not going to continue with this official policy of the government. 0:24:55.200 --> 0:24:58.600 And what do you know. A judge in California goes, nope, sorry, 0:24:59.200 --> 0:25:05.280 what Obama half done? You cannot undo. How could any 0:25:05.359 --> 0:25:09.080 person justify this? How could anyone who calls themselves a lawyer, 0:25:09.560 --> 0:25:14.240 a legal scholar, a judge, somebody who is steeped in 0:25:14.320 --> 0:25:17.560 these issues, you would think would really know what the 0:25:17.600 --> 0:25:24.360 implications are of this kind of emotion based recklessness when 0:25:24.359 --> 0:25:26.879 it comes to the law. You would think that a 0:25:26.960 --> 0:25:28.760 judge would know better. But of course judges don't know 0:25:28.880 --> 0:25:31.720 better because they're getting what they want in the process, 0:25:32.280 --> 0:25:37.240 slowing it down. As a result, President Trump, because of 0:25:37.880 --> 0:25:40.600 federal judges in the state of California, or one federal 0:25:40.640 --> 0:25:43.639 judge in the state of California in particular, President Trump 0:25:43.680 --> 0:25:49.120 has had to continue for three years the policy of 0:25:49.119 --> 0:25:54.160 his predecessor on immigration that was rooted entirely in executive discretion. 0:25:54.440 --> 0:25:58.320 No Act of Congress, no statute whatsoever, was an abuse 0:25:58.480 --> 0:26:02.200 of that discretion in the first place, And now judges 0:26:02.240 --> 0:26:04.480 say that Trump can undo it because of the Administrative 0:26:04.480 --> 0:26:07.439 Procedures Act. You must be kidding me. This is why 0:26:07.480 --> 0:26:12.200 I tweeted out after Baghdaddy was killed himself with our 0:26:14.119 --> 0:26:18.800 operators Special Forces operators or Delta Force operators right on 0:26:18.840 --> 0:26:21.320 his trail, I said, oh, I'll just give it a 0:26:21.359 --> 0:26:25.040 matter of a matter of hours before the Ninth Circuit 0:26:25.080 --> 0:26:29.400 overturns Baghdaddy's killing under the Administrative Procedure Act. I mean, obviously, 0:26:29.400 --> 0:26:32.920 I'm making a joke. But this is farcical. This is 0:26:32.960 --> 0:26:36.080 preposterous that people are being taught, and I know they 0:26:36.119 --> 0:26:39.120 are in law schools that what's going on right now 0:26:39.240 --> 0:26:45.480
