00:00:00.000Thank you, brother. We're going to play. We got a really great cold open.
00:00:04.060Jack Posobiec joins us. Natalie Winters is at the White House.
00:00:08.160Laura Loomer is going to be here. Julie Kelly. First hour is totally packed.
00:00:11.300Let's get on to it. Let's get the cold open for three straight days.
00:00:19.680The U.S. blitz on Yemen hasn't let up.
00:00:23.500The Trump administration first ordered airstrikes on the Iran-backed Houthi militia on Saturday night.
00:00:30.000Since then, 98 people have been hurt and 53 killed, according to the Houthi-run health ministry.
00:00:38.920Officials say women and children are among the dead and injured, a claim NBC News hasn't been able to verify.
00:00:45.120A U.S. defense official telling NBC News the Houthis tried to launch two retaliatory strikes against the USS Harry Truman over the weekend, and both were unsuccessful.
00:00:54.260An era of peace through strength is back. We will use overwhelming lethal force until we have achieved our objective.
00:01:03.600President Trump today on social media reiterating his warning that Iran will be held responsible if the Houthis do strike back.
00:01:09.780Writing, every shot fired by the Houthis will be looked upon as being a shot fired from the weapons and leadership of Iran.
00:01:16.140Our message to Iran is you better take this president seriously, and I think the Houthis learned that the hard way this past weekend.
00:01:23.240Iran supports both the Houthis in Yemen and Hamas in Gaza.
00:01:27.720In 2023, the Houthis started attacking vessels on a key global shipping route just off Yemen's shores.
00:01:33.880In solidarity, they said, with the Palestinians.
00:01:36.800Those attacks largely stopped after Hamas and Israel reached a ceasefire deal in January.
00:01:44.340But after phase one of that ceasefire expired and Israel blocked aid from entering Gaza earlier this month, the Houthis pledged to renew their attacks.
00:01:55.440Iran's Revolutionary Guard commander over the weekend saying,
00:01:58.260we stand firm against any threat and will respond in the strongest possible way.
00:02:03.380A firm, crushing and devastating response.
00:02:05.920We begin today with a phone call that Ukraine and our allies and those who care about our standing as the world's leading democracy for now
00:02:15.060have been waiting anxiously and with bated breath to hear about.
00:02:19.740Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin spoke for more than an hour and a half today.
00:02:23.760Both the White House and the Kremlin have released a readout of the call on their own.
00:02:28.180A readout of the call from the Kremlin says that Russia has agreed to a 30-day ceasefire on attacks on energy infrastructure.
00:02:35.260The White House also made note of that, saying this, quote,
00:02:38.460The leaders agreed that the movement to peace will begin with an energy infrastructure ceasefire,
00:02:44.160as well as technical negotiations on implementation of a maritime ceasefire in the Black Sea,
00:06:37.920It's Tuesday, 18 March, year of early, 2025.
00:06:40.880We're going to go to the White House momentarily to our own Natalie Winters.
00:06:45.480The president has been signing executive orders, but it closed the press.
00:06:49.500We won't get that footage for a while, so we'll let you know as soon as we've got the footage, if at all, because I don't think he's doing a press event.
00:06:55.240But we'll see what he might have just been talking to the White House camera.
00:06:58.500We'll see about all that and what the EOs are.
00:07:36.580Well, Steve, this phone call is nothing short of historic, and there's no surprise to me that the globalists and their puppet apparatchiks are clutching their pearls and the Chinese Communist Party is sweating bullets.
00:07:52.000Because those people at the higher level, not the Vindman level or the Nicole Wallace level, they don't get the geopolitical grand strategy masterclass that Donald Trump is embarked in right here.
00:08:07.460This is—look, look, Mackinder and Mahan didn't mess around with feelings, okay?
00:08:13.460And that's something that President Trump and his team completely understand, by the way.
00:08:19.280From the Red Sea to the Black Sea, down to the Panama Canal, looking up at the GI-UK gap at Greenland and all the rest of it.
00:08:28.460This phone call where they discussed the ability to have this ceasefire—they've already announced, by the way, a ceasefire on what energy infrastructure.
00:08:37.480What have we told you this whole thing was about from day one was about energy infrastructure?
00:09:22.580So when you're looking at a potential geopolitical grand strategy here, look, it is, and people will say, it is all about the rise of China.
00:09:31.320You've got three great powers in the world right now, the United States, Russia, and China.
00:09:36.600And President Trump is attempting to effect a second Sino-Soviet split along Kissingerian lines, but in the opposite direction.
00:09:49.020Because China is the heartland empire that Mackinder had warned about.
00:09:54.000That China is attempting to become the heartland empire that controls the world island, who rules the world island, and can then run the entire world.
00:10:03.040But you cut Russia off from that, and then you shut down the Middle East, which, by the way, is another discussion that President Trump and Putin, because I read the White House readout, and I read the Kremlin readout on this.
00:10:26.860We've always talked about Odessa, and Odessa is the Mahanian fulcrum of the Black Sea.
00:10:33.280If Odessa becomes a potential joint ownership, or as the British used to say throughout the 1800s, the 19th century, a treaty port.
00:10:43.600If Odessa becomes some kind of treaty port where the Russians and the Ukrainians both have access to it, then that's game over for the Chinese Communist Party in Europe.
00:10:52.840That's game over for them in terms of the Belt and Road Initiative through Europe.
00:10:56.840That allows the United States to be standing completely in their way.
00:11:01.680And President Trump gets that in a way that I think few and certainly nobody in mainstream media understand.
00:11:07.380No, in the 19th century, you talk about the great game, one of the great land wars in Crimea, the Charge of the Light Brigade, Sebastopol, all of it.
00:11:18.780But, in fact, I think it was McClellan was seconded over there as a military observer.
00:11:35.420Also, if you look at the hemispheric defense, don't forget Venezuela, which is kind of maybe the Exxon-Chevron wars for the oil and gas there.
00:11:48.480This could very much be about oil and gas.
00:11:50.300The Barry Lee today was about—and you could see Nicole Wallace almost spit it out of her mouth—the underlying economic deal that's going to be here.
00:11:58.780This rapprochement will very much be based upon some sort of economic relationship between the United States and Russia and between Russia and Western Europe.
00:15:16.380The company I trust to help you diversify into physical gold is Birch Gold, the company I buy my gold from.
00:15:22.600Birch Gold specializes in helping you convert an existing IRA or 401K into a tax-sheltered IRA in physical gold for no money out of pocket.
00:16:20.200Here's another historic day at the White House, although a little bit in lockdown because today, through the executive orders, I don't think President Trump had a press avail.
00:16:30.800Our Brian Glenn was not there, and he said no press was open.
00:16:34.380On the sound check, it's pretty noisy there at the White House.
00:16:42.420Well, I think it's important to underscore that President Trump was actually kind enough to essentially reopen the street that is in front of the White House.
00:16:49.960So now tourists and everyone can come up, take pictures in front of the gate of the White House, which I think when you look at the threats that President Trump is facing, it shows you just how, I think, caring he is, right?
00:17:00.620Allowing people to actually come and see the People's House, not Joe Biden's version of it, where they kept people at arm's length and very, very far away from it.
00:17:07.580But as a result, you can probably hear, because it's really loud, and it might very well be the largest Palestinian flag that I've ever seen, which gives you maybe just a bit of a teaser of the type of people who are out there.
00:17:19.620But they're screaming all about no more war, no more intifad.
00:17:22.580Intifad is it's a demonstration that's supposed to start at 7 p.m.
00:17:26.360From what I'm hearing from a lot of sources on social media, it's supposed to be a rather large demonstration, I think, in part having to do with what's going on with the Columbia student Mahmoud Khalil being deported.
00:17:37.380But also, of course, maybe the United States continuing to arm Israel is one of their major gripes.
00:17:42.220And I guess they're probably just upset, too, about what happened today with President Trump's phone call with Russia.
00:17:47.220I also think it's important to underscore, I think, from my perspective, one of the biggest and I think most consequential impacts of that statement that came out of the conversation that they had is the idea that the United States does not just automatically have to be at odds, at war, have a confrontational position towards Russia.
00:18:06.320I think that's something, frankly, you can link it back to what happened yesterday, right?
00:18:09.820It is the reversal of America's managed decline, whether it's going to the Kennedy Center, rewriting a ship, rewriting the course that people didn't think could be changed around from the cultural aspect.
00:18:19.160That same sect of very swampy, culturally elitist people are the people who've made millions of dollars off of the idea that Russia is our most foremost adversary.
00:18:28.040Not to say that they're the good guys, but they're also not people that we need to needlessly and senselessly attack, whether it's through think tanks or foreign laundered money at all these groups.
00:18:36.020So I think that that was a really, really important kind of buried lead in the statement that came out today, but something that is also really, really ticking off the D.C. swamp crowd.
00:18:49.300The, you know, on all the clips we looked at today, we couldn't get one clip on mainstream media that was not seething about this phone call.
00:18:56.480I mean, the hatred from the contributors to the guests to the host was just coming through.
00:19:01.300Was it the same for our beloved White House press corps there, ma'am?
00:19:25.960There's a few of them standing next to me right now.
00:19:27.780I think they probably stand in solidarity with a lot of the protesters outside.
00:19:31.160So they probably aren't too upset about their shots being garbled by the audio there.
00:19:35.840But inside the briefing room, I think a lot of people are not too happy that President Trump dared to engage with, let's be frank, the country that they tried to use as a cudgel and as a weapon to smear him with for years.
00:19:48.400Right. And it's not just that they did that themselves, but a lot of these media entities, whether it was the OCCRP, all these USAID subsidized journalist organizations, it's all one big racket.
00:19:59.860But I guess it was finally exposed today for what it was.
00:20:02.420We're going to come back to you on the courts, had a USAID, I think, ruling today about everything going on there.
00:20:35.480Why are we so aggressive in this bombardment of the Houthis?
00:20:38.660Because it's pretty wild what's going on.
00:20:41.280And also in the ether right now is this whole discussion, not just as the Israelis and IDF unleash on the Muslim Brotherhood,
00:20:49.020but there's all these questions now about Persia, about airstrikes and nuclear facilities, maybe ground forces.
00:20:54.940A lot of the MAGA right are quite concerned of this situation, particularly when President Trump and Caroline Leavitt and everybody's saying,
00:21:02.580hey, every time we're pounding the Houthis, we're pounding Persia because they're a Persian proxy, which we know.
00:21:10.900Are we getting sucked into, as we're trying to get out of the war on the Eurasian landmass,
00:21:16.020are we getting sucked into one in CENTCOM in the Middle East, sir?
00:21:20.620Well, look, Steve, there's a couple of elements at play here.
00:21:23.300Of course, there's the proximal cause of this being the Houthis being able to effectively close the Red Sea to European commercial shipping,
00:21:32.920as well as American, any shipping that we want to have through.
00:21:36.160And again, this is about the sea lines of communication going off of all the way back to,
00:21:40.420look, this is how the British Empire ran things back in the day, right?
00:21:42.840The Suez Canal, Strait of Malacca, Singapore, and then going down to the Red Sea itself and all the way around,
00:21:51.620This is why you need to keep the sea lines of communication open.
00:21:55.840That is a key role of the United States Navy.
00:21:58.720And by the way, has been a key role of the United States Navy since the time of Teddy Roosevelt.
00:22:02.780And even going back to Thomas Jefferson, instituting the, really just commissioning the original United States Navy to go after the Barbary Pirates in the 1700s.
00:23:30.840They talk all this smack of what they're going to do with Ukraine, what they're going to do with Russia.
00:23:33.860Sir Somers got sent troops into Ukraine to guarantee the ceasefire.
00:23:37.440Yeah, I'll buy – I've got a bridge in Kirch to sell you for that one.
00:23:42.500Well, 10 days ago, I was sitting there telling the host that, hey, all this talk is irrelevant because you guys are close to a sovereign debt crisis.
00:23:52.240Since then, Sir Kerr has said, hey, we're going to have to cut social services to support the Ukraine.
00:24:02.340And one of the financial figures in the EU said yesterday, he said, look, all these nations are near a sovereign debt crisis.
00:24:07.640If they actually went with the French's plan for Ukraine, they'd all be broke.
00:24:12.980So it's just fantasy we're talking about, but it seems like in the non-fantasy part, the non-cosplay part, the real part, the United States is getting more and more engaged in another Middle East war, this one on the Arabian Peninsula, sir, soon to lead to back to Persia.
00:24:30.860Oh, look, Steve, this is where – and this is what I was saying earlier.
00:24:35.460That's not in the interest of the United States to go to war with Iran.
00:24:38.720I was here, what, a week or two ago talking about how the magnitude of a ground war with Iran or any U.S. war with Iran would be just absolutely catastrophic.
00:24:48.300It would be far beyond anything that we saw in Iraq or Afghanistan.
00:24:51.500It would not serve the interests of the American people.
00:24:54.000But, oh, by the way, who has influence over Iran that President Trump might be able to afford a rapprochement with?
00:26:25.540So Trump's going to go to him and say, hey, you're going to yank the chain and put those guys back on the leash immediately so we can put this whole thing to bed.
00:26:33.820And then we'll figure out what we're going to do coming forward.
00:26:36.720That's also why, by the way, when I talked about the Gazprom U.S. deal, and I know the globalists are going to hate me saying this.
00:28:34.560The best way is Home Title Lock's million-dollar triple lock protection.
00:28:40.500Now, this service gives you 24-7 monitoring, urgent alerts of any changes, and if fraud happens, their U.S.-based restoration team will spend up to $1 million to fix the fraud and restore your title.
00:29:22.640And let me remind you, this service is 24-7 monitoring, urgent alerts of any changes, and if fraud does happen, their U.S.-based restoration team will spend up to $1 million to fix the fraud and restore your title.
00:29:47.860By the way, on Birch Gold, to get the deeper dive, go to BirchGold.com slash promo code Bannon.

00:30:03.420Modern monetary theory, the idea that broke the world, you're going to want to get that and study it, along with also the brochure on investing in gold in the era of Trump, the ultimate guy.
00:30:14.100Talk to Philip Patrick and the team at Birch Gold.
00:30:16.960President Trump just came across the wire, Reuters.
00:30:19.600President Trump terminated, fired the two Democratic individuals, members of the Federal Trade Commission.
00:30:26.420President Trump, I think, getting tough on monopolies.
00:30:31.900He's got a real neo-Brandeisian group there going after big tech.
00:30:37.280In fact, Natalie, tomorrow we'll talk about your day at the conference.
00:30:41.400But now, whereas the battlefront in the geopolitical war is at sea, in the air, on the land, with troops and weapons, as President Trump tries to bring peace to the Eurasian landmass against the Trump administration and taking down the deep state and the administrative state, is in the courtroom.
00:31:01.580Can you give us an update from your perch at the White House, ma'am?
00:31:04.720Sure. Well, I just want the audience to know that I was in the belly of the beast today.
00:31:11.620I had to deal with all the tech bros, all the transhumanists listening to them and their thoughts about how they're going to terraform this earth and to comport with whatever crazy ideas they have.
00:31:21.980We will discuss that tomorrow because I need an ROI on having wasted hours of my life among all those people.
00:31:28.560But two, the issue of lawfare, which, of course, is the thing itself, which I think at this point, Steve, the question is, can someone please find me a judge who's not an activist, someone who doesn't actually have any conflicts of interest, either through themselves, their family members, their children, their finances?
00:31:46.460And the latest example of this is a judge out in Maryland who just essentially struck down the ability to dismantle USAID, saying that it was unconstitutional.
00:31:55.460Well, it's so interesting because Theodore Chang, well, his wife, if you could believe it, was a former vice president, the National Immigration Forum, this far left George Soros funded open borders advocacy group that is on record not just opposing President Trump in his first term, but they're currently advocating and lobbying against his mass deportation agenda.
00:32:14.900It gets worse. She was also a Biden regime appointee, an anti-racist activist on a bunch of panels talking about anti-Asian hate.
00:32:24.240But I'll do you one better. The judge, who also her name is Ana de Alba, I believe in California.
00:32:31.360Well, she's responsible part of a three judge panel, a tripartite panel, which essentially struck down the Trump administration's ability to fire federal employees.
00:32:40.740We call them unelected bureaucrats here in the war room from six different agencies.
00:32:45.400If you can believe it, this individual is not just a self-described lefty liberal from Berkeley,
00:32:51.580but she has actually been on the board of groups that are currently giving know your rights trainings,
00:32:58.080information to information to illegal aliens on how to avoid deportations.
00:33:02.480But even worse, she's done these training sessions in partnership with the consulates in Mexico, Ecuador, Nicaragua and other countries in South and Central America.
00:33:14.400She even at one point was counsel working for the Mexican consulate here in the United States, trying to advocate for illegal aliens.
00:33:22.020This is someone who is extremely far left and has foreign government ties.
00:33:26.080Like I said, I just outlined it for you.
00:33:27.720But I think what it all comes back to, and I know you're about to have Laura on, all of these judges are radical activists.
00:33:33.620We should frankly stop calling them judges, just like we don't call NGOs charities.
00:35:27.240And I use the term judge loosely because you cannot be a judge and be impartial and be respectful of law and order and then also be participating in activists and retaliatory behavior, abusing your position at the bench.
00:35:42.720And so that's what we've really seen happen.
00:35:44.840And just like Natalie was saying previously, Steve, that if anybody could show her a judge who wasn't an activist, it would make her really happy.
00:35:53.300Well, you know, I would love to meet a judge or find out whether there's a judge in this country that doesn't have a daughter who has a conflict of interest.
00:36:02.680So throughout my investigations throughout the campaign and even now investigating all these judges, it's always the daughters.
00:36:10.540They always seem to have either a wife or a daughter who is tied to some radical leftist organization that is a blatant red flag conflict of interest.
00:36:20.700And in the case of Judge Bosberg, you can see this report that I published exclusively last night on X.
00:36:28.700Judge Bosberg, of course, is the judge that made news this week when he decided to issue a restraining order against the Trump administration for their deportation flights.
00:36:38.780When President Trump said that he was going to be rounding up all of the illegal aliens in Train de Agua and shipping them to El Salvador.
00:36:47.180And so this judge said that this was not permissible and that the Trump administration was in violation of his court order.
00:36:56.340But what he didn't disclose, Wolf, is the fact that he has a daughter by the name of Catherine Bosberg, who is an employee at a group called Partners for Justice.
00:37:05.560It's a 501c3 organization and Partners for Justice advocates for criminal illegal aliens and they make videos with their founder that she publishes on their LinkedIn page and she publishes on Twitter and her various social media pages in which they give legal advice to members of gangs.
00:37:25.400And they try to make policy and influence policy against laws that crack down on gang activity because it's racist, in their opinion, to have laws that address gang activity.
00:37:39.680And, of course, we know that Train de Agua has been designated as a terrorist gang, terrorist Venezuelan gang, foreign enemies, okay, operating here on U.S. soil.
00:37:51.700And that is the reason why President Trump wants these people deported, because they're not just illegal aliens, they're criminal gangster terrorists.
00:38:00.260This is a now-designated terrorist organization under the new designation of the Trump administration.
00:38:06.480And so you would think that it would be a conflict of interest given the fact that Judge Bosberg's daughter, Catherine, who goes by she-her, I don't know if she's a tranny herself, but she subscribes to the tranny mentality because she has pronouns in her bio, which is further evidence of her affinity to the left.
00:38:23.020She works for this group, and she's what they call a capacity-building associate.
00:38:29.980And so what is a capacity-building associate?
00:38:33.120Well, in her position, she helps coordinate and administer grant activities, ensuring compliance and supporting the delivery of capacity-building programs to strengthen nonprofit infrastructure.
00:38:44.200Well, that further just indicates what an egregious conflict of interest is, Steve, because this organization, Partners for Justice, receives 76 percent, yes, 76 percent of its funding from government grants.
00:39:00.000And so the judge's daughter has a job within this pro-illegal alien, pro-gangbanger organization to facilitate government grants so that they can continue their advocacy for, you know, the best and brightest in our country.
00:39:15.960All of these great diversity imports in our country who, well, they really aren't sending their best, as President Trump has said.
00:39:23.520You think that's a big enough conflict of interest with his daughter so involved with these gangs that he should recuse himself, ma'am?
00:39:35.380I mean, that's just one conflict of interest.
00:39:37.360On top of the fact that it was reported yesterday as well that his wife was apparently a founder of an abortion clinic, an abortion clinic in the D.C. area.
00:39:46.840And so she also has donated to various left-wing organizations.
00:39:50.880And so you have the political bias with his wife making political contributions to Democrats who are anti-Trump.
00:39:58.960And now you have the daughter that works at a nonprofit, a 501c3 organization that has videos on its website in which they detail how it's offensive to use terms like gang enforcement.
00:40:13.160I actually posted, if you want to play the video, I posted one of these videos from the executive director of this organization.
00:40:21.640If you want to pull it up, it's at the very bottom of my Twitter, Steve.
00:40:29.440She's the founder of Partners for Justice.
00:40:31.740And she not only employs Judge Bosberg's daughter, Catherine, but she actually made a tweet the other day attacking Tom Homan for defying judges' orders.
00:40:43.720That's what she's accusing him of doing, of course.
00:40:45.880And also made another post criticizing the Trump administration's deportation of criminal illegal gangbangers in Train de Agua.
00:40:54.540And she made another post basically praising Judge Bosberg.
00:40:58.400So given the fact that she's making these inflammatory social media posts while employing the judge's daughter, I would say that that is indeed a conflict of interest that the judge should have disclosed.
00:41:11.200I mean, it does say here, and we'll read the clause for you.
00:41:13.960The disqualifying clause for the code of conduct for U.S. judges, which specifies the circumstances under which a judge must disqualify themselves from a proceeding, says a judge shall disqualify himself or herself in a proceeding in which the judge's impartiality might reasonably be questioned, including but not limited to instances in which, quote, the judge or the judge's spouse.
00:41:40.580Okay, we already have that with his wife or a person related to either within the third degree of relationship or the spouse of such person.
00:42:27.780How do I say particularly enthusiastic about our efforts on the impeachment side and did not like what President Trump had to say about the judge that Laura Loomer was just talking about.
00:44:07.960Now he's issuing a dire warning about April 11th, a moment that could define Trump's presidency in your financial future.
00:44:15.200His latest book, Money GPT, exposes how AI is setting the stage for financial chaos, bank runs at lightning speeds, algorithm-driven crashes, and even threats to national security.
00:44:27.040Right now, war room members get a free copy of Money GPT when they sign up for Strategic Intelligence.
00:44:33.800This is Jim's flagship financial newsletter, Strategic Intelligence.
00:44:54.560So essentially what the judge is saying here is that Elon Musk's attempts to unilaterally dismantle USAID likely violated the Constitution.
00:45:03.140And essentially that obviously is as it relates to Elon, but also any of his employees, those Doge employees who helped this dismantling of it.
00:45:14.860Now, what's important here is what the judge says.
00:45:17.480It's unclear what implications this will have long term.
00:45:21.320But what the judge did do is that for any current USAID employees or those on administrative leave, the judge says that essentially the email payment security notification and all other electronic systems, I'm quoting from him here, need to be reinstated.
00:45:37.460So, again, while the judge did rebuke, of course, Musk's role within the Trump administration and his role with Doge in dismantling unilaterally USAID, it's really not clear exactly the implications of this decision and the operations of USAID remain unclear at this point.
00:45:56.660But surely a rebuke of Elon Musk and his role, which the judge believes is unconstitutional.
00:46:02.280The Trump administration is not answering questions from a federal judge in a new court filing this afternoon.
00:46:09.880Boesberg had asked the Trump administration for details about a flight that sent more than 200 migrants to El Salvador.
00:46:17.800He's investigating whether the White House violated his order.
00:46:21.440The DOJ's response didn't answer many of those questions, but they did agree to give more details to the judge personally in chambers.
00:46:28.920In the lead up to that response from the DOJ, President Trump attacked that federal judge, Boesberg, calling for his impeachment and labeling him a radical left lunatic.
00:46:41.400That right there triggered the chief justice of the Supreme Court, John Roberts, to issue a rare rebuke, saying, quote, for more than two centuries, it has been established that impeachment is not an appropriate response to a disagreement concerning a judicial decision.
00:46:58.920OK, we drew blood from Roberts today, and it was stunning that he commented on this with the president and, of course, the war room, Mike Davis, Julie Kelly, other star words.
00:47:33.740And this is the second time since Donald Trump was inaugurated that Justice John Roberts has signaled that he will side with the recklessness and unconstitutional conduct of these lower court judges.
00:47:46.720Of course, he did that by refusing to intercede in that USAID, the other USAID case in Washington, where the judge ordered the reinstatement disbursement of $2 billion in funds.
00:48:00.800Of course, the Trump administration putting a temporary freeze on all foreign aid.
00:48:05.740And this lower court judge, Ali, who barely won confirmation in the waning weeks of the Biden regime, is the one responsible for that.
00:48:15.800Chief Justice Roberts, along with Amy Coney Barrett, as we talked about, refused to get involved in that.
00:48:21.720So what did Justice Roberts say today?
00:48:23.940He stepped way outside of his lane in saying, as Katie Chor just said, for more than two centuries, it has been established that impeachment is not an appropriate response to disagreement concerning a judicial decision.
00:48:40.340The normal appellate review process exists for that purpose.
00:48:44.460This is not a disagreement over a judicial decision.
00:48:48.340This is a constitutional crisis that has been created by the federal judiciary that they have been creating for years.
00:48:57.240And this speaks to the separation of powers and these omnipotent, unaccountable judges with feeling the sense of moral superiority that they are the rulemakers in Washington, not interlopers like Donald Trump and his officials and his voters, that they are the ones who make the rules.
00:49:20.520And this is a core constitutional crisis and issue.
00:49:27.780It is not Chief Justice John Roberts' place to say whether impeachment is appropriate or not.
00:49:35.140That is a matter, of course, for Congress.
00:49:38.580Steve, the crisis here, the problem with impeachment over the past two centuries is that it's been used a handful of times.
00:49:46.780I think there are 14 judges who faced impeachment.
00:49:49.700I think only eight federal judges have ever been convicted.
00:49:53.820The last time that happened, I think, was 30 years ago.
00:49:57.120The problem is not warning or threatening to use impeachment.
00:50:01.720The problem is that Congress has abdicated its constitutional role in overseeing the judicial branch.
00:50:10.060So impeachment is totally appropriate, especially with judges.
00:50:15.380You and I have talked about several others, including his predecessor, the former chief judge, Beryl Howell, for their really lawless decisions and clear politicking from the bench.
00:50:28.980And this is just Bosberg's latest example.
00:50:31.500But John Roberts just gave these lower court judges a big green light, and they are just going to accelerate their conduct now in flagrantly undermining the, as Mike Davis would say, article two authority of the president and his entire domestic and now foreign policy agenda.
00:50:51.760He essentially, with all the options he had, and as early as we are in this, he knew what he was doing, and he did this on purpose to strengthen them.
00:51:09.880I mean, this statement really doesn't make any sense.
00:51:14.760Appropriate disagreement goes to a normal appellate review process.
00:51:19.540Okay, but this is not, as I said, a normal judicial decision.
00:51:25.280But he's again saying, well, then you go to appeal it.
00:51:28.240Okay, but the judicial branch then is still in charge.
00:51:32.180Is he really saying that the president has to abide by a single, unelected judge with a record of partisanship who has a lifetime appointment totally insulated from any culpability, either impeachment-wise or being tossed out of office?
00:51:50.060Is he really suggesting that somehow the appellate review process is going to give the president appropriate relief?
