00:00:03.000What happens when the president decides to ignore the courts?
00:00:07.000We've explored this topic before, but it is more applicable and important than I think ever before.

00:03:23.000He said that the Constitution is special because of its structure, because of how it's put together.
00:03:29.000Now, this is not the first Constitution ever written, but it is the longest-lasting Constitution in human history.
00:03:36.000It's the longest-lasting experiment in self-government.
00:03:40.000Now, if you were to go to a high school or a college student and ask them, what are the first three articles of the United States Constitution?
00:03:47.000They would say, oh, the First Amendment, the Second Amendment, the Third Amendment.
00:03:50.000These are the Bill of Rights, which were not ratified until four years after the Constitution of the United States began the process of ratification post-Constitutional Convention, started with Delaware and ended with Rhode Island.
00:04:05.000The Bill of Rights was largely pushed by our friend George Mason, who had the Virginia Declaration of Rights, which was passed in 1776, the same year as the Declaration of Independence, an inquiry into the cause of the wealth of nations.
00:04:20.000amongst many other important documents that were written in 1776.
00:04:25.000The Constitution of the United States does open with the preamble that so many people know or would recognize, we the people of the United States, in order to perform a more perfect union, establish justice, ensure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and to our posterity to ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
00:04:44.000And I love to ourselves and our posterity because there's an intergenerational three-tied knot.
00:04:48.000That is a direct hat tip towards the belief and the worldview of Edmund Burke.
00:04:53.000A three-tied knot of what has come before you, what is happening now, and the kind of country and civilization and nation you want to pass forward.
00:05:01.000Now, Article 3 of the United States Constitution deals specifically with the courts.
00:05:08.000Now, Article III was a little bit of an unknown.
00:05:11.000Now, the Founding Fathers added a couple of, they added in the Constitution a framework, a structure that was only as good as the people believed in it.
00:05:25.000It was only as effective as the citizens and the leaders decided to follow it.
00:05:32.000So Article III has the most power, yet the least teeth.
00:05:39.000The courts have the greatest ability to derail a legislative agenda.
00:05:46.000They have the greatest potential to thwart the aims and ambitions of the executive branch, but they have no ability to enforce it.
00:05:55.000Article 3 of the United States Constitution says the judicial power of the United States shall be vested in one Supreme Court and in such inferior courts as Congress may from time ordain and establish.
00:06:07.000The judges, both of the Supreme and Inferior Courts, shall hold their offices during good behavior and shall, at stated times, receive for their services a compensation, shall not be diminished during their continuance in office.
00:06:22.000It seemed pretty, let's just say, non-controversial.
00:06:27.000However, when the famous Marbury versus Madison case went in front of the United States Supreme Court, which was kind of a perfunctory technical type issue around a recess appointment, if I'm not mistaken, right, Connor, it was an over, it was between the, let me get this right, Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Madison, between the Jefferson and Madison administration, right?
00:07:16.000And I don't know if it was Marshall or Jay who issued the first ever opinion, but this was a watershed decision, everybody, because this was judicial review.
00:07:26.000This gave the power of the third branch of government to have a check and a balance on power.
00:07:35.000Now, we know how Congress can check the executive branch.
00:07:39.000We've lived through that circus twice in the last four years, impeachment, hearings, subpoenas.
00:07:45.000We know how the executive branch can check Congress.
00:07:50.000They check Congress by fulfilling the laws, by interpreting the laws.
00:07:54.000They also have executive privilege, amongst many other measures.
00:08:28.000Now, this has always been the greatest flaw in the American project.
00:08:33.000In any civics course, you can go up to a Civics 101 teacher or a political science teacher, and you can find the vulnerability.
00:08:42.000You can find the fault line in the American Constitution because there is no vested enforcement capacity for the courts.
00:08:51.000Now, they could hold you in contempt of the court, but they're not going to do that to the President of the United States because it's a co-equal branch.
00:08:58.000And so, I remember being in civics class in seventh grade, and one of my classmates asked the teacher a very wise question.
00:09:07.000He said, Well, what happens if the president decides to ignore the courts?
00:09:12.000And I remember my seventh grade teacher being at a loss for a word, saying, Oh, that will never happen.
00:09:20.000Now, we saw that bubbling up of activity in Wooster v. Georgia in 1832.
00:09:25.000We saw it actually with George W. Bush at times when it was talking about terrorism and domestic surveillance.
00:09:31.000We saw it during Barack Obama, but what we are experiencing in the last 24 hours is an unprecedented pre-Civil War type posture of, I don't care about Article III.
00:09:44.000We saw this with the eviction moratorium.
00:09:48.000And breaking in the last couple hours, Biden administration tells businesses to continue to implement the COVID vaccine mandate despite court order.
00:10:01.000First Liberty, led by Kelly Shackelford, phenomenal organization and friend of mine, they sued in federal court and they got to stay on the mandate.
00:10:11.000Joe Biden has now come out and he has said, so what?
00:10:17.000Joe Biden came out and said, quote, people should not wait.
00:10:20.000They should continue to move forward and make sure their workplace gets vaccinated.
00:10:37.000What we are heading towards is the intentional, deliberate, public, and flagrant invalidation of the separation of powers in Article 3 of the United States Constitution.
00:10:48.000Ignoring court orders because they don't like them.
00:10:53.000Last month, an absolute landslide of all of you made the switch to PeerTalk.
00:10:57.000You were chained to overpriced unlimited plans from Verizon, ATT, or T-Mobile.
00:11:01.000Then finally, you decided to make the switch because you know that PeerTalk saves the average family over $800 a year without having to sacrifice coverage.
00:11:58.000Are all three branches of government co-equal?
00:12:01.000Well, in the modern interpretation, yes.
00:12:06.000But Alexander Hamilton had his own opinion on this.
00:12:10.000Writing in the Federalist Papers, anonymously written newspaper articles, Federalist 78, he said, the judiciary is beyond comparison the weakest of the three departments of power.
00:12:21.000The general liberty of the people can never be endangered from that quarter.
00:12:26.000I mean so long as the judiciary remains truly distinct from both the legislature and the executive.
00:12:31.000And it proves, in the last place, that as liberty can have nothing to fear from the judiciary alone, but have everything to fear from its union with either of these other departments.
00:12:41.000The judiciary has no influence of either the sword or the purse, no direction either of the strength or the wealth of society, and can take no act of resolution whatsoever.
00:12:52.000It may truly be said to have neither force nor will, but merely judgment, and must ultimately depend on the aid of the executive arm even for the efficacy of its judgments.
00:13:25.000You see, when the courts issue an opinion that you might not like, you will listen to that opinion if you have respect for the judges, the process, and the Constitution.
00:13:36.000Now, make no mistake, the collectivists and the arsonists on the left, such as Biden, they will listen to the courts if they get a decision that fits their worldview.
00:13:47.000For example, Overfeld v. Massachusetts, that was the gay marriage one, if I'm not mistaken, right, 2011, Overfeld decision.
00:13:55.000They will say, oh, you must listen to the courts if it affirms that marriage can between anyone at any time, any place or manner.
00:14:02.000But they will ignore the courts if there is a stay.
00:14:08.000They will ignore the courts if there is a court order defeating the mandate.
00:14:14.000So what we are getting a preview into, what you are seeing happen in real time as we go a step further and lower is that the courts are no longer the way nor the arena to defeat the collectivists, the status, or the arsonists.
00:14:33.000Now, that's not to say we should ignore court orders.
00:14:35.000It's not to say that, I mean, like, stop going and try to get court orders or that we shouldn't try to go into courts or judges.
00:14:41.000But what Biden is revealing, what the hand that Biden is tipping, is an attack, a all-out attack on judicial review.
00:14:53.000Now, I got some of the facts correct, but just so everyone knows, judicial review was when Thomas Jefferson defeated John Adams in the 1800 presidential election.
00:15:01.000Adams and Congress passed the Judiciary Act of 1801, which created new courts.
00:15:06.000And William Marbury was appointed as the Justice of Peace in District of Columbia.
00:15:11.000But his commission was never delivered.
00:15:13.000Marbury petitioned the Supreme Court to compel the Secretary of State and then future president and architect of the U.S. Constitution, James Madison, to deliver the documents.
00:15:23.000Jefferson's Secretary of State was James Madison, so he wouldn't deliver the commission, and the Supreme Court intervened, therefore establishing the precedent of judicial review.
00:15:36.000So listen to this tape right here of the Biden regime coming out and saying, defy the court order.
00:15:58.000We feel confident about the legal component of this.
00:16:01.000The Department of Labor has the authority to move forward in making sure that they keep the workplace safe.
00:16:09.000And so, yeah, we have to make sure that we get this pandemic behind.
00:16:12.000First of all, you don't have the authority, but what they're saying and what she is laundering her radicalism in her word salad that was just called a press secretary speech.
00:16:24.000By the way, that's the deputy press secretary, Jean-Pierre.
00:16:34.000Where Jen Psaki hasn't been seen for 10 days.
00:16:37.000The real question is: will Jen Psaki agree to a drug test to see if she was treated with regeneron, ivermectin, aspirin, hydroxychloroquine, or monoclonal antibodies?

00:20:55.000And Dr. Murthy, if the law survives legal challenges, will the administration be extending the mandate to smaller employers with fewer than 100 employees?
00:21:08.000Well, Martha, certainly nothing is off the table at this moment, but the focus right now is on implementing the current rule that OSHA put out.
00:21:19.000Who's to say that we'll actually follow the court order ourselves?
00:21:22.000Now, this is spreading into multiple different industries.
00:21:26.000And of course, it's going for children.
00:21:28.000There is no reason, argument, or rationale for the vaccination of children.
00:21:37.000Listen to Dr. Malone, Cut 38, say that with a viral infection, you're going to get a sudden, gradual increase of these spike proteins in your patients.
00:21:47.000With the vaccine, you're getting a whopping amount of protein being expressed.
00:21:52.000Let's see, Cut 38 of the inventor, the creator of the spike protein.
00:22:33.000So the CDC study that was half-baked, which recently came out in an attempt to address this, is the only one out of over 100 that I'm aware of that indicates that natural immunity is not better than vaccination.
00:22:49.000In fact, the vaccination on top of previous infection and natural immunity actually confers higher risk to patients than vaccination in the naive individual.
00:23:04.000Dr. Malone says that if you've had it before and then you get vaccinated, you could actually have a higher risk.
00:23:09.000But none of this has ever been about health.
00:23:13.000We know what it's been about, social control and massive corporate profits.
00:23:18.000And the Biden regime is happy to play along with that.
00:23:21.000You see, the Biden regime is trying to set a precedent.
00:23:23.000What this is really about from Biden's perspective is can we invalidate the courts and do what we want?
00:23:30.000Because the reason they are not listening to the courts is they are trying to begin a mass propaganda and deterioration campaign saying, yeah, the courts, they're too procedural.
00:23:44.000What we need is emergency powers that never go away.
00:23:52.000It's now been an hour and a half of emergency powers from governors and from mayors.
00:23:57.000And the U.S. Constitution is supposed to have this tension between when a court issues a stay on a vaccine, vaccination order, you don't have the president of the United States say, yeah, just ignore that.
00:24:36.000Republicans were too busy giving Joe Biden his infrastructure dream package of $900 billion of non-infrastructure spending, $900 billion, and a green energy bank account to spend whatever they want with it.
00:24:52.000Now, it's more important than ever that we realize the structure of what we have, the structure of the United States Constitution, and it's a republic, by the way, not a democracy.
00:25:06.000A republic recognizes God-granted natural rights in a transcendent manner, and it protects those rights from infringement, first from the government and then from your fellow countrymen and citizen.
00:25:48.000Now, what's the difference between a democracy and a constitutional republic?
00:25:52.000A democracy allows you to get rid of rights because of a simple up or down vote.
00:25:58.000A constitutional republic has tension and gridlock intentionally built into it that makes it slow and deliberate, difficult, nearly impossible to extract the natural rights from the citizenry or the co-rulers.
00:26:14.000Now, one of the way the founding fathers, now, the founding fathers did not want non-representative constitutional republics, of course not.
00:26:20.000One of the way the founding fathers, based on the readings and the, let's say, inspiration of Montesquieu, a French judge who famously wrote the book Spirit of Laws, they wanted to have elections as a way to send messages to leaders.
00:26:37.000But what do you do when elected leaders don't get the message of elections?
00:26:43.000When Cut Two, Chuck Todd, asked Governor Murphy, he said, are you thinking about backing off many of these COVID mandates because you were in such a close election?
00:26:53.000Governor Murphy says, no, why would I?
00:27:17.000Contrast that with Governor DeSantis, America's greatest governor, most courageous, and just announced his reelection campaign to become governor of Florida again.
00:27:28.000A well-deserved campaign of a man who has been overly courageous with now the lowest COVID rates in the country.
00:27:35.000Can you get if it's COVID rate, death rates, or virus rates?
00:27:45.000Phenomenal economic figures, no mask mandates for children.
00:27:49.000And in the school districts that are doing that, DeSantis is clamping down.
00:27:53.000He banned critical race theory, and DeSantis has done this in a logical and reasonable way.
00:28:00.000And I'm inspired by his leadership versus the weak, Vichy French Republicans across the country that continually pander to Pfizer, AstraZeneca, Moderna, Johnson, and Johnson.
00:28:27.000You see, what Ron DeSantis recognizes is that the sovereign is the people, not him.
00:28:34.000It's not we, the Ron DeSantis, or we, the governor of Florida.
00:28:38.000No, it's the people's rights that come first.
00:28:41.000And by the way, that's the same for if a massive company wants to infringe on your rights or if the federal government wants to infringe on your rights.
00:29:10.000And so we're supposed to be a government of laws, not a government of men.
00:29:14.000This is 500 pages of a government of a bureaucracy.
00:29:19.000Ron DeSantis understands the Constitution.
00:29:21.000Every Republican governor should just sit idly by and take a masterclass in what DeSantis is doing.
00:29:28.000Meanwhile, California, with vaccinating children and continually mass inoculation, inoculation, and masking, their Chinese coronavirus, Fauci virus rate is twice Florida's.
00:31:23.000These midnight flights, unannounced, no notice, no support for the state, no ability for us to veto it ahead of time.
00:31:31.000And if Biden had not been doing that, if he'd been doing his job, that individual would be alive today.
00:31:36.000So DeSantis should meet those secret flights with Florida state troopers, get them on a sponsored plane from Florida, of Florida, and get them out of the country.
00:31:47.000That is what states need to start to do.
00:31:48.000States need to start deporting illegals themselves.
00:32:22.000President, in this administration, we've had 280,000 individuals released in the United States, 120,000 children, another 400,000 gotaways.
00:32:58.000Internal report, more than half of Border Patrol agents may be fired for being unvaccinated.
00:33:04.000Now, interestingly, illegals that come to America don't have to be vaccinated, and they're allowed to come in.
00:33:09.000They get shelter, they get food, they get logistics, they get housing, they get voting in certain municipalities across America.
00:33:16.000But the regime is now trying to flush out Border Patrol agents saying, quote, an internal report from within the U.S. Customs and Border Patrol Agency suggests that half of Border Patrol agents remain unvaccinated.
00:33:29.000And if the vaccine mandates are implemented, that means only 8,000 officers could be on duty.
00:33:34.000Former Border Patrol officer Mark Morgan said, quote, it's going to take an agency that's already gone through an unbelievably catastrophic crisis on the southern border and deplete our resources even further.
00:33:46.000So if you come from Honduras or from Nicaragua or from Mexico and you illegally enter into America, you do not need to wear a mask.
00:34:04.000But if you are a law-abiding American citizen whose job is to enforce the southern border and you don't get vaccinated, you could be fired.
00:34:14.000If the 10,000 or so Border Patrol agents who have yet to register their vaccination status do not do so this week, they will be offered counseling, suspension, and then termination.
00:34:25.000And so here's my, let me just end this hour with this, and I'm going to connect something I said yesterday, which is this, the greatest anger I have towards establishment Republicans.
00:34:37.000You should not even be picking up the phone and meeting with Joe Biden when they're doing nonsense like this.
00:34:44.000So when I hear about bipartisan infrastructure packages, are you intentionally ignorant and blind to what this regime is doing to destroy the country?
00:34:55.000Don't give them an inch of a vote, a committee hearing.
00:35:00.000It should be nose across the board when we have in our country border patrol agents that are going to be fired, yet the 280,000 illegals that come into America, they get benefits, no vaccination status or anything.
00:35:15.000There's a phenomenal quote by Aristotle, who's the man, by the way, who says the tyrant prefers the foreigner over the citizen.
00:35:26.000For it's the foreigner that the tyrant can use to grow close to their power, aims, and ambitions, but the citizen will question them.
00:35:36.000We have a regime that gives a preference, gives an allowance, gives a platform, gives a reward, gives gifts to the Hondurans, the Nicaraguans, and the Mexicans, but penalizes and punishes Americans.
00:35:54.000So excuse me while I don't want to hear one more sentence from establishment Republicans as to why you're on some committee passing an infrastructure package.
