Breitbart's own Alex Marlowe joins us to discuss the continued onslaught of judicial activism against President Trump and his efforts to get his policies and agenda overturned by the Supreme Court. Charlie and Alex discuss how the courts are being used as a tool by the left to further their agenda.
00:00:55.000He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA. We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.

00:01:52.000As Caroline Levitt's doing this press conference, it was a perfect segue.
00:01:55.000It was all about lawfare and these judges.
00:01:59.000It's very confusing to some people in our audience, understandably, because they say, wait a second, how can you tell me that a...
00:02:06.000A federal judge in the northern Mariana Islands has the ability to veto a president.
00:02:12.000Walk us through the facts of the case, and then we'll go deeper.
00:02:15.000Yeah, and there's many cases, and this is going to be the new normal, because if you think about it, Charlie, look at how the left is operating right now.
00:02:45.000All they've got left is the lawfare, and they've built this superstructure over decades.
00:02:49.000A lot of these judges that are stopping him right now are appointed not just by Biden, not just by Obama, but dating back to Bill Clinton.
00:02:57.000These judges are standing in his way, and they're going to continue to do that because of the way the system is in its nature.
00:03:03.000Basically, what happens is that you can file a complaint, and then the complaint can go if you target a specific area where you know there's a good chance you're going to get a liberal judge.
00:03:12.000It's different from region to region, but there are judges.
00:03:14.000Sometimes you know when a judge is specifically there fielding these emergency orders.
00:03:19.000If you claim something's an emergency and the judge is a Democrat donor, is a Democrat appointee, is someone who's an activist lawfare judge, they're going to have the ability to put a preliminary injunction or a temporary restraining order on a lot of Trump's agenda, And that's going to shut it down at least for a period of time, either for a set amount of time or for an amount of time where it can work its way through the court, eventually, hopefully get to a more conservative court and get overturned.
00:03:46.000But this is a potent weapon and there's not a super easy solution to it.
00:03:50.000So let's go through some of the details here.
00:03:53.000What are the more egregious judicial interventions that we are seeing right now?
00:03:59.000I have a piece on this, which you were kind enough to tweet, which I appreciate, at Breitbart News.
00:04:02.000And I've got seven of them, but there's been one or two since I put out this seven.
00:04:07.000So, yeah, take this Judge Angel Kelly from the U.S. District Court of Massachusetts, nominated by Biden.
00:04:13.000This is a person who is a DEI hire, a person who has admitted that she's basically been elevated because she's African American, she's Asian, and she uses DEI hiring when she does her hiring.
00:04:26.000This is her whole background, and she's someone who Elizabeth Warren has described as someone who's made a personal mission to bring about change through her role on the bench.
00:04:37.000She's shut down Trump and Moss' effort to put a cap on overhead spending for the National Institute of Health.
00:04:45.000This is stuff that's not going to funding any sort of research, anything that's actually important that might actually make us healthier potentially.
00:05:06.000This is a person who is known for blocking an officer's First Amendment's rights to complain about the George Floyd Act on his personal Facebook.
00:05:15.000That's her wiring, citing bogus Black Lives Matter talking points when she's done that.
00:05:19.000One of many examples, another judge, Senior Judge Amy Berman Jackson from the U.S. District of Columbia.
00:05:26.000This is a person who built her reputation, not just donating to Democrats, which she did, but an Obama appointee.
00:05:33.000But she's known for jailing the J6 prisoners.
00:05:37.000Basically built the second half of her career on being one of the main attack dogs trying to lock up the J6 prisoners.
00:05:43.000And what she's done in a clearly partisan thing is that she recently put a temporary restraining order on Trump's efforts to fire a person from the office of the special counsel that Biden appointed.
00:05:56.000So Trump's trying to shut down a deep state person, fire them, routine stuff.
00:06:00.000You think a president should be able to do this?
00:06:01.000Not according to the great Amy Berman Jackson.
00:06:07.000Chief Judge John J. McConnell of the U.S. District Court of Rhode Island.
00:06:10.000This is one that people have been in the news for a bit because Daily Callers, but on top of this guy.
00:06:15.000He's blocking a spending freeze that Trump has.
00:06:18.000So another thing where Trump can't stop spending, he can't fire people unless he wants to run into all it takes is one of these liberal judges.
00:06:27.000This guy is a mega donor to Democrats, not a run-of-the-mill donor.
00:06:31.000He built a huge war chest for himself in the private sector.
00:07:48.000Those are half of the examples I highlight in my piece.
00:07:52.000We're on the brink of something that is really...
00:07:54.000The left one's talking about a constitutional crisis.
00:07:56.000When judges are openly subverting the democratically elected president at this level and it's not going to stop, this is going to continue, then we are really at a level where the court is asserting itself above the other branches of government at this time.
00:08:11.000This is a deeper point, but you think about it, we have a super legislative power.
00:08:15.000They say you must do everything Congress says, even things that it doesn't says, it just implies.
00:08:19.000And then we have a super judicial, and it is the shrinking and the vanishing of Article 2. The presidency doesn't have power of the bureaucracy, but judges in Congress does?
00:08:30.000It's an amazing thing because you watch it and you think that we put all this culturally, we have all this time spent on the presidential election.
00:08:39.000It's the greatest TV show on earth, is watching the presidential election, just the sport of it, the pure sport of politics.
00:08:46.000And then Trump gets in there and he's trying to do stuff, like the exact stuff he promised he was going to do.
00:08:52.000And these people who none of us have ever heard of, and I study this stuff religiously.
00:08:56.000I hadn't heard of most of these names, Charlie.
00:08:58.000Most of them I hadn't even heard of until the last couple of weeks.
00:09:00.000And all of a sudden they're just standing athwart 70 plus million Americans in 30 states and saying, no, you don't get to have what you want.
00:09:09.000And the sad part is there's no real easy recourse to stop them.
00:09:13.000So the how how do you see this settling?
00:09:18.000Because, unfortunately, the only answer is time, right?
00:09:22.000Because then it has to work its way up eventually to the Supreme Court.
00:09:26.000In the current form or fashion, all it takes is one judge to be able to veto the activity of a president?
00:09:33.000Yeah, that's exactly the situation we're in.
00:09:35.000If you file the right complaint, the right area, then you can at least get temporary restraining orders and these preliminary injunctions that's going to slow down the agenda in a big way.
00:09:46.000The first thing is Trump's flood the zone approach is correct.
00:09:50.000Because even though from a news perspective, I wish we could dwell on some of the victories for a little longer.
00:09:55.000Charlie, and I think you're probably in agreement on that.
00:09:57.000It'd be fun to take more time to celebrate some of the great stuff that's happening.
00:10:00.000But we got to move on to the next thing.
00:10:03.000That's the right approach because they're just not, even though the left is very strategic, they've got this huge lawfare superstructure, make them work in order to block all this stuff.
00:10:12.000So if they block a quarter of it, that's not great, but it's better than them blocking half.
00:10:17.000It's better than them blocking, you know, 75% of a much smaller agenda.
00:10:23.000But we also have to win every single election.
00:10:25.000This is why the work you do with attorney-prone action is so big.
00:10:28.000People have to make sure that we're running up the score because the bigger our majorities are in the Congress and in the Senate, then there's more options that we have because we can start using the Constitution, the legislature, to be able to expand our rules and change some of these rules.
00:10:42.000I was thinking about it the other day.
00:10:55.000What do we got to do here to come outside the box stuff we never thought of to try to limit some of their power?
00:11:01.000It's going to take years for some of it, but let's start thinking now and be prepared.
00:11:05.000So just like Trump did with his executive orders at the start of his administration, the second we have the numbers, let's run headlong into it and then make them stop us.
00:11:12.000By the way, circuit courts are a created idea of the Congress.
00:18:29.000You buy it, you own it, you control it.

00:20:23.000It's going to require some tariffs, external revenue.
00:22:00.000Play cut 38. Early Saturday, a judge agreed with them to restrict Elon Musk and his government efficiency team, Doge, from accessing Treasury Department payment and data systems.
00:22:11.000They said there was a risk of irreparable harm.

00:26:29.000They seem to have integrated wokeness across the entire spectrum of activities from integrating in DDI into everything they do.
00:26:38.000They're currently being sued for discriminating against patients.
00:26:41.000This isn't just discriminating against hiring and promotion, which is normally what we think about when we think about DDI. This is about discriminating in how they apply medicines and treatment to patients, which is about the most...
00:26:53.000Worst thing you could possibly think of when you think of horror stories of DEI. They've also integrated net zero pledges across their entire operations.
00:27:13.000What that really means is that they're paying bribes, things called carbon credits, that they then have to pass along those fees to consumers.
00:27:21.000Perhaps the most disturbing thing is that they have been leading the way in providing so-called transgender care, gender affirmative care to children.
00:27:29.000What that really means is general mutilation on kids under the age of 18. And they've really been charging on that.
00:27:35.000And even after the passage of the SAFE Act in Ohio, where that's supposed to be banned, they've continued to consult with children around their gender issues or their gender dysphoria.
00:27:46.000So it seems that they are still continuing to quietly push.
00:27:52.000Look, the hospital cartels generally are one of the greatest undiagnosed problems in the country.
00:28:14.000That's a great question, and I wish I knew the answer to that.
00:28:17.000I have my suspicions, after what we've seen out of the Department of Government Efficiency, that a lot of this might just be straight up being paid for by the federal government, incentivized by funding from HHS. Radicals within a lot of these government agencies have been pushing this stuff.
00:28:31.000But that doesn't let Cleveland Clinic off the hook.
00:28:33.000Their director of DEI has said that they integrate DEI into literally every single thing that they do.
00:28:40.000So that's not just, again, hiring promotion.
00:28:42.000That's in how they treat patients based on their skin color.
00:28:45.000And that includes pushing transgender propaganda on children.
00:28:49.000So it's sort of a chicken-of-the-egg problem.
00:28:51.000It probably came partially because it's being incentivized by the federal government.
00:28:54.000But then Cleveland Clinic has become taken over by true believers of this radical, far-left, destructive ideology.
00:29:01.000How much money do they make off of the transing of kids?
00:29:04.000Well, it's hard to calculate without seeing their books, but it's got to be in the millions of dollars.
00:29:09.000The number of children who these operations are not cheap.
00:29:13.000That's what a lot of people don't realize is that this stuff, once you start it, you can basically never come off of it.
00:29:18.000So Big Pharma has a customer for life when they trans a child under the age of 18. These children can basically never come off of it.
00:29:25.000We've heard of kids, obviously, who detangent us, and it's a very painful process, and there's everlasting harms that you can't undo.
00:29:33.000But from the hospital's perspective and from big pharma's perspective, it's a very lucrative venture.
00:29:37.000What can we possibly do from a federal government or a regulatory standpoint to go after these childhood butcher clinics such as the Cleveland Clinic?
00:29:49.000I was so excited to see President Trump's executive order demanding that every agency look for at least nine corporations or nonprofits to look into who are violating people's civil rights around DEI. I can think of no better candidate for HHS to open an investigation than the Cleveland Clinic.
00:30:06.000That said, I would also ask that the state government, Governor DeWine and the legislature, really look closely at the Cleveland Clinic and everything it's doing to continue to push this radical transgender ideology on children and harm them, and also to violate people's civil rights, not just through, again, hiring a promotion, but also literally changing where you rank someone hiring a promotion, but also literally changing where you rank someone in treatment for illness, strokes specifically, based on their skin So, Will, in your experience, what do these hospitals actually fear?
00:30:33.000Because they're acting with such brazen attitude as if they don't care.
00:30:39.000What the law says and just such blatant disregard for general morality.
00:30:45.000Yeah, I'm so glad you asked that question because our movement tends to have this mentality that we go to court and we get a judicial ruling and that precedent that sides with us is the win.
00:31:00.000They need to lose federal funding until they comply.
00:31:03.000And they need to be sued when they discriminate against people, not just patients, but also their employees.
00:31:07.000There has to be a price to this kind of wanton disregard for the law, both at the state and the federal level.
00:31:14.000At the end of the day, the only thing that's going to make them change is cutting off funding, losing government grants, and then being sued for the way they've violated the civil rights of both their patients and their employees.
00:31:27.000Well, they can follow us at consumersfirst on X or me with at Will Hild, or they can visit us at consumersresearch.org.
00:31:35.000I will also just say, to the extent you have listeners who are current or former employees at Cleveland Clinic, please go to our website.
00:31:41.000There's a place where you can share your story.
00:31:44.000We, I'm sure, are only looking at the tip of the iceberg.
00:31:46.000We would love to hear from people who have maybe seen inside what's going on there and could fill in even more some of these questions we have.
00:31:57.000The meltdown over Doge is really amazing to see.
00:32:02.000Right now there's an entire hearing around the Department of Government Efficiency.
00:32:07.000And understand that what Elon is doing, as well within the confines of the U.S. Constitution, they're going to sue every possible way they can.
00:32:15.000But there have been presidential advisors that have literally lived in the White House, Harry Hopkins under FDR, under World War I and World War II, the industrial baron.
00:32:37.000He, like President Putin, wants to make peace.
00:32:39.000We discussed a variety of topics having to do with the war, but mostly the meeting that is being set up in Munich, where Vice President J.D. Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio will lead the delegation.
00:32:52.000I'm hopeful that the results of the meeting will be positive.
00:32:55.000It is a time to stop this ridiculous war where there has been massive and totally unnecessary death and destruction.
00:33:02.000God bless the people of Russia and Ukraine.
00:33:07.000And as I've mentioned a couple times, we have the Mark Fogle situation.
00:33:55.000I believe the mother got to meet President Trump at that now infamous rally at Butler right on the same day the president was almost killed.
00:34:04.000And so tonight is really a happy occasion.
00:34:07.000Should be for all Americans, but certainly for Mr. Fogel and his family.
