We are all witnessing a judicial assassination attempt on the most popular president in the history of our country. The fact that the communist democrats and RINOs don’t want you to be able to vote for him should tell you to vote for Trump.

Video Transcript AI Summary
The speaker dismisses the grand jury indictment as meaningless, claiming that the cases against Donald Trump are designed for quick convictions in jurisdictions biased against him. They argue that weak cases like these open the door to prosecution of Democrats by Republicans and vice versa, which threatens democracy. Another speaker argues that challenging the integrity of voting systems is not a crime and that the racketeering charge against Trump is unfounded. They believe the prosecutor is motivated by political gain and wants to sideline Trump. A former US Attorney adds that RICO cases are difficult to prove and believes this case is an aggressive application of the law. They suggest that these cases lack legal structure and precedent and will likely collapse.

Speaker 0: Well, first of all, nobody should take it all seriously, the fact that there was a grand jury indictment. It means nothing. It's the prosecutor who indicted. The best evidence to that is that it was on his website before the grand jury even voted. Now the whole strategy of all these 4 cases is to get a conviction before the election even if they're gonna lose on appeal. I used to teach my students, many of them future prosecutors. If you bring a RICO case, that increases your chances of winning a trial and losing on appeal. The same thing is true with conspiracy and other cases involving mental states. And so all 4 of these cases are designed to get quick quick convictions in jurisdictions that are heavily loaded against Donald Trump. And these prosecutors don't care as much as prosecutors generally do about having the convictions reversed on appeal because that will happen after the election, which only goes to prove what I've been arguing now for for months. If you're going after the man who's running against your incumbent president, you would darn well better have the strongest case Possible. And these are among the 4, at least 3 of them, 3 weakest cases I've ever seen against any candidate. We don't know about 4th, but it Seems like it's very much like the DC case. And if you're going after the man running for president against your person, You have to have the strongest case. Otherwise, it becomes a banana republic. Anybody can prosecute anybody. And we're opening the door to prosecution of Democrats by Republicans, Republicans by Democrats. It's what Alexander Hamilton wrote in The Federalist is the most dangerous threat to democracy, and we're seeing it unfold in front of our eyes very, very tragically. I'm not a Republican. I'm not a Trump supporter, But I care deeply about the constitution. I care deeply about preserving the rule of law, and we're seeing it being frittered away for partisan political purposes. Speaker 1: Let me get your reaction, Greg Jarrett. Speaker 2: You know, exercising your legal rights, Sean, to challenge the Integrity of voting systems is not criminal. It's not a crime to complain, which is what the Trump telephone call with the secretary of State in Georgia was all about it. He was complaining about ballot irregularities, violations of election laws, a failure of the court to address his petition. It's not defrauding the government if you believe you're acting lawfully. And this idea of bringing racketeering charge, Seems par fetch. I mean, racketeering, as the professor Turley pointed out, requires proof of an organized criminal enterprise Coupled with a repeated pattern of systematic illegal behavior. It normally involves things like Extortion for monetary profit, control of property on a recurring basis. That doesn't fit here, does it? I mean, this was a singular alleged episode of a brief duration where Trump and his counsel were asking for a reconsideration of votes cast. At worse, this kind of a RICO case is simply guilt by association. But I agree with Professor Jurishewitz, The prosecutor in this case doesn't care. She wants a guilty verdict to sideline, Donald Trump And interfere in the upcoming presidential election, which is in my judgment, the definition of a corrupt act. Speaker 1: Alright. Let me, get Matt Whitaker's take same topic, Matt, because I think this is very, very crucial here. In other words, The fact that we're talking about things that I don't think most Americans know a whole lot of and that's you know why is this a Rico case, why is this a racketeering case, why did they post this earlier on the website? What what is in your mind and having been an an AG, what do you think, What is the thinking behind this? Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah. Two primary thoughts. First of all, what Greg just said is important, but this is also being done To catapult the prosecutor's political career. Don't forget that. And then second, you know for five and a half years I was a US Attorney. I signed indictments personally. Whatever the grand jury returned, true bills, you know, I made sure I signed those presentments, to the grand jury and those indictments. And that being said, I can tell you RICO cases are by far the hardest cases. You want to bring them, and we we tried to especially go after Mexican drug cartels. It's a real problem here in Des Moines, Iowa, as you can imagine, especially with the meth and the fentanyl. And so, You know, I would look at those cases and and work with the AUSAs on those, on trying to make RICO cases. But to the, you know, earlier panelist point and to Jonathan Turley's point, Those cases are tough because there's there's predicate offenses. You have to show a pattern and you have to show the organization. These, I mean, these are criminal groups. And I just don't think this case rises to that level. I think this is a very aggressive application of that. And really, It's a pattern that I mentioned earlier when we were talking. It's just, it's these prosecutors that are solely trying to get out And get Trump and try to hang in it, not only indictment, but, you know, they hope a conviction. And it's just not most of these cases just don't have the legal structure and the legal, precedent to support them and they're going to collapse, you know, after they get past these juries that are planted against president Trump. Speaker 1: Alright. Guys, stand by. We are again we're still waiting for as we were immediately have said, we We have reports now, 10 indictments handed down by the Fulton County grand jury working late into the night tonight's time by the judge Now being filed by the clerk, the clerk has said over an hour ago that the maximum time would take would be a few hours. So we are expecting all of that information tonight. We turn now to somebody that would that knows firsthand what it's like to be on the wrong side of what we often talk about on this program And what the House Judiciary Committee is investigating, whether or not Joe Biden's

Judge Paul Engelmayer issued a ruling preventing Trump's political appointees, including Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, from accessing Treasury Department data, which critics argue undermines executive authority and lacks legal precedent. The decision, made without input from Trump’s legal team, is described as judicial overreach that transfers power to unelected bureaucrats, challenging the Constitution's separation of powers. Supporters of Trump believe this ruling will backfire, asserting that the administration anticipated such judicial actions.

@amuse - @amuse

LAWFARE: In an egregious and unconstitutional assault on executive authority, Judge Paul Engelmayer has unilaterally forbidden all of Trump's political appointees—including Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent—from accessing Treasury Department data. This ruling, concocted without legal precedent or constitutional justification, is nothing short of judicial sabotage. Worse, it was issued ex parte—meaning Trump administration lawyers weren’t given notice, weren’t allowed to argue, and weren’t even in the room. Only Democrat attorneys general were heard, ensuring a predetermined outcome. Engelmayer’s order is legally indefensible. He cites no statutory basis because none exists. He offers no constitutional rationale because the Constitution directly contradicts him. Instead, he fabricates a fiction: that the duly appointed Treasury Secretary is nothing more than a ceremonial figurehead, akin to a powerless monarch, while unelected bureaucrats—who answer to no voters—control the nation’s finances. This is judicial tyranny masquerading as jurisprudence. The implications are staggering. By stripping the executive branch of access to its own financial data, this ruling effectively transfers control of the federal purse to the permanent bureaucracy—the so-called “deep state.” That is a direct assault on the Constitution’s separation of powers, which vests executive authority in the elected President and his appointees, not in career government employees. This is lawfare at its most brazen: a raw, partisan power grab dressed up in legalese. If allowed to stand, this decision sets the precedent that any left-wing judge can unilaterally strip the President of his authority and hand it to the administrative state. That is not democracy. It is not law. It is judicial dictatorship. While the order is currently set to last only a week, no serious person believes this won’t be extended if the courts think they can get away with it. The Trump Administration should treat this for what it is—an unconstitutional usurpation—and consider defying it outright. No judge has the authority to cripple the executive branch and hand power to unelected bureaucrats. Beyond that, the Supreme Court must intervene and overturn this blatant violation of constitutional governance. Judge Engelmayer should be barred from hearing any future cases related to executive authority, and every Democrat lawyer who enabled this attack on the Constitution should be sanctioned. This is not a legal dispute—it is a coup by the judiciary against the elected government. And it cannot be allowed to stand.

This ruling will not age well. Remember, Trump wants this. Trump in his team expected this, that the deep state would attempt to use judges to block executive actions from executive branch official. This is all going to be hashed out now not a year or two from now . They are taking their best shot with the judges to stop him. Legally and constitutionally, they have no leg to stand on .

@patriot_savvy - The REAL Politically Savvy 🇺🇸

🔥This ruling by Judge Engelmayer echoes historical precedents where judicial overreach has threatened executive authority, reminiscent of the Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co. v. Sawyer case where the Supreme Court checked presidential power. 🔥 • It's crucial to remember that the separation of powers, as intended by the framers, is under attack here. This isn't just about Trump; it's about preserving the constitutional framework. • The absence of due process in this decision, where Trump's legal team was excluded, mirrors tactics used in political witch hunts, undermining the fairness of our legal system. • With elections on the horizon, this could set a dangerous precedent for future administrations, potentially allowing judicial activism to dictate policy over elected officials' decisions. • The judiciary's role should be to interpret law, not to legislate from the bench. This decision blurs those lines dangerously. • Legal scholars and constitutional experts should weigh in publicly to highlight the overreach and its implications for democratic governance. • Citizens and lawmakers alike need to rally for checks against such judicial oversteps to maintain the balance of power envisioned by our Constitution.

In my conversation with Joe Rogan, I discuss how Barack Obama's repeal of the Smith–Mundt Act has had far-reaching implications. This repeal allowed for the infiltration of universities, unions, media, and political systems by foreign entities. It enabled the foreign policy establishment to fund domestic groups and manipulate media narratives, effectively using propaganda against Americans. The Smith–Mundt Act was meant to restrict such actions to overseas operations, but its repeal has unleashed these tools domestically, impacting our political landscape and judicial system.

The speaker discusses the Smith-Mundt Act, initially designed to prevent the US government's foreign propaganda from being used on American citizens. The act was created in response to concerns about the "Frankensteinian monster" of a permanent department conducting "dirty tricks" to influence foreign governments through media, universities, and other institutions. Frank Wisner, a CIA figure, created "Wisner's Wurlitzer," a media network to spread narratives globally. The Smith-Mundt Act originally allowed such activities abroad to secure resources and economic benefits for the US, but prohibited its use domestically. The speaker claims that the Smith-Mundt Modernization Act under Obama effectively repealed this firewall. They express concern that the foreign policy establishment can now fund groups that influence domestic prosecutors and media, and promote social media censorship abroad that impacts US companies and speech.

Speaker 0: I'm not are you familiar with the Smithmont Act? Is that the 02/2011, '2 thousand '12 thing where Obama allowed people to use propaganda against United States citizens? Yeah. That was what was done then under Obama was the was the effective repeal of it. It was called the Smith Modernization Act. But the modernization got rid of the whole purpose of it, the the fire the firewall. Because at the time, the media and media control was seen as as the linchpin crux of winning the Cold War. Piping in pro US media influence to so that the because everything moved after World War two from kinetic warfare and military occupation. You know, we used to militarily occupy The Philippines, for example, after we won the Spanish American war. But that was that was banned under international law, territorial acquisition by military force in 1948. So we had to win elections, and and we had to influence the the passage of laws in foreign countries by having an apparatus inside those countries that influenced the hearts and minds of people, which influenced who they voted for, which then determined the government. So you had to move towards political vassalage rather than military occupation. And what the Smithmont Act did is simultaneous with the creation of this in 1948, Congress recognized the Frankensteinian monster they were creating by authorizing a covert permanent department of dirty tricks, and this is their phrase, not mine, to do this cloak and dagger to in to to infiltrate and and co op the universities, the unions, the media, the politicians, the judges, the whole swarm army. You know, what I have been calling for a long time The USA Truman Show because it's, you know, these people in these foreign countries have no idea, you know, how many how many of the things they interact with that are effectively a movie set being constructed by the US State Department and its sister influence orgs. But the point that I'm getting at here is the the Smith Munton Act in 1948 said, okay. You guys can do this. State Department can do this. CIA can do this. USAID, when it came along thirteen years later, could do this. But weak so there was a guy named Frank Wissner who was known as one of the godfather figures of the CIA. He's known for creating what was called the Wissner's Warlitzer, which was a it's like a church organ, and that he would brag that he could play the international media like a symphony to make any media narrative go viral in any country on earth because of the the suite of CIA proprietary media functions and its net and its distribution network, especially when The US had first mover advantage in radio and print. It's basically The US and UK were the only games in town really in having robust radio, film, TV, and print media. So the Smithmont was said, okay. You can do that abroad. You can plant fake news stories in France. You can, you know, you can have propaganda blare into Africa or Western Europe or Central Asia, but that can't come home. You can't sigh up our own people with your propaganda organ abroad because the point of authorizing this is that we get cheaper gas, we get import export markets, you know, we get a high standard of living because if a foreign government doesn't wanna give up its resources or allow US military base or allow joint partnerships or or exports of of goods or US multinational corporations to operate there, then the American people suffer economically. So it was always designed to say, listen, you can do this dirty stuff abroad, but it can't come home. We have and even that protection, which which lasted for seventy years and only we only lost it a decade ago. We're up against a much actually deeper darker problem with this USAID scandal and as people will see increasingly the the scandals that will break open at the Pentagon and the State Department, which is that we have a Smithmont problem for funding and operations. It's not just propaganda. The blob, our foreign policy establishment, can fund groups that effectively work with prosecutors domestically or that or that work at media, you know, dual sort of dual use. We we give them foreign grants to do media propaganda abroad, but they operate here. Or social media censorship to coerce foreign countries to pass foreign censorship laws that explicitly and are intended to attack US social media companies and in US peer to peer speech. So we need that protection if we're going to keep this function at all. We need a hard firewall and absolute grotesque penalties for any violation.

Frank Wisner, a CIA figure, created "Wisner's Wurlitzer," a media network to spread narratives globally. The Smith-Mundt Act originally allowed such activities abroad to secure economic advantages for the US, but prohibited them domestically. The speaker claims this protection was lost a decade ago and that the US faces a deeper problem with USAID, the Pentagon, and the State Department funding groups that operate both domestically and abroad. These groups allegedly engage in media propaganda and social media censorship, influencing foreign countries to pass laws that target US social media companies and speech. The speaker advocates for a strict firewall and severe penalties for violations.

Speaker 0: I'm not are you familiar with the Smithmont Act? Is that the 02/2011, '2 thousand '12 thing where Obama allowed people to use propaganda against United States citizens? Yeah. That was what was done then under Obama was the was the effective repeal of it. It was called the Smith Modernization Act. But the modernization got rid of the whole purpose of it, the the fire the firewall. Because at the time, the media and media control was seen as as the linchpin crux of winning the Cold War. Piping in pro US media influence to so that the because everything moved after World War two from kinetic warfare and military occupation. You know, we used to militarily occupy The Philippines, for example, after we won the Spanish American war. But that was that was banned under international law, territorial acquisition by military force in 1948. So we had to win elections, and and we had to influence the the passage of laws in foreign countries by having an apparatus inside those countries that influenced the hearts and minds of people, which influenced who they voted for, which then determined the government. So you had to move towards political vassalage rather than military occupation. And what the Smithmont Act did is simultaneous with the creation of this in 1948, Congress recognized the Frankensteinian monster they were creating by authorizing a covert permanent department of dirty tricks, and this is their phrase, not mine, to do this cloak and dagger to in to to infiltrate and and co op the universities, the unions, the media, the politicians, the judges, the whole swarm army. You know, what I have been calling for a long time The USA Truman Show because it's, you know, these people in these foreign countries have no idea, you know, how many how many of the things they interact with that are effectively a movie set being constructed by the US State Department and its sister influence orgs. But the point that I'm getting at here is the the Smith Munton Act in 1948 said, okay. You guys can do this. State Department can do this. CIA can do this. USAID, when it came along thirteen years later, could do this. But weak so there was a guy named Frank Wissner who was known as one of the godfather figures of the CIA. He's known for creating what was called the Wissner's Warlitzer, which was a it's like a church organ, and that he would brag that he could play the international media like a symphony to make any media narrative go viral in any country on earth because of the the suite of CIA proprietary media functions and its net and its distribution network, especially when The US had first mover advantage in radio and print. It's basically The US and UK were the only games in town really in having robust radio, film, TV, and print media. So the Smithmont was said, okay. You can do that abroad. You can plant fake news stories in France. You can, you know, you can have propaganda blare into Africa or Western Europe or Central Asia, but that can't come home. You can't sigh up our own people with your propaganda organ abroad because the point of authorizing this is that we get cheaper gas, we get import export markets, you know, we get a high standard of living because if a foreign government doesn't wanna give up its resources or allow US military base or allow joint partnerships or or exports of of goods or US multinational corporations to operate there, then the American people suffer economically. So it was always designed to say, listen, you can do this dirty stuff abroad, but it can't come home. We have and even that protection, which which lasted for seventy years and only we only lost it a decade ago. We're up against a much actually deeper darker problem with this USAID scandal and as people will see increasingly the the scandals that will break open at the Pentagon and the State Department, which is that we have a Smithmont problem for funding and operations. It's not just propaganda. The blob, our foreign policy establishment, can fund groups that effectively work with prosecutors domestically or that or that work at media, you know, dual sort of dual use. We we give them foreign grants to do media propaganda abroad, but they operate here. Or social media censorship to coerce foreign countries to pass foreign censorship laws that explicitly and are intended to attack US social media companies and in US peer to peer speech. So we need that protection if we're going to keep this function at all. We need a hard firewall and absolute grotesque penalties for any violation.

Speaker 0: The house and senate judiciary committees should have two kinds of hearings. One, they should have sort of intellectual hearings, bring in smart people, legal scholars, lay out the case that the founding fathers never wanted to have these kind of radical judges seeking to interpose themselves between the elected officials of the American people and their own whacked out left wing views. And then second, I think it'll be very educational to bring in the weirdest of the judges and have them under oath explain why they made the decision they did, what the source of that decision in the constitution is, why it's a legitimate decision. And I think these judges would look really bad and you begin to understand that they really represent a radical worldview with no constitutional basis. And then I think the congress ought to look at two possible steps immediately. One, to either impeach certain judges or abolish their court, and two, to look seriously at the budget of the judicial system in United States and simply cut it dramatically. The point that Hamilton makes in the Federalist Papers is that the courts in the end cannot win a fight with the elected officials of the legislative and executive branches because the money and the power comes from those two branches. These judges, I think, are in grave danger. This is a test, as Lincoln said at Gettysburg, of whether this system or any system so conceived can long endure. I mean, if the American people are electing the people they want, and they've given the Republicans the House, the Senate, and the White House, If they can't then enforce their views and they can't represent the American people, then our whole system's in trouble. At the, America's New Majority Project, we just did a poll last week, 81% of the American people believe the federal government's corrupt. 81%. This is an enormous danger to the survival of freedom when you have eight out of every 10 Americans believing that the core system is corrupt. The house and the senate have an obligation to bring these judges in, to interrogate them, to understand the normal constitutional boundaries, to look at the historic precedent, and then if necessary, just abolish their courts and cut them out of the out of the game or cease paying for them so that they just sit there and they can't do anything. But the current situation is intolerable, and it is a direct threat to the system of self government that is at the core of the American model.

A senator questions a witness about universal injunctions, which are court orders affecting parties beyond the specific case. The witness admits there's no statutory or Supreme Court basis for them. The senator suggests these injunctions circumvent the need for class action lawsuits. The witness agrees that universal injunctions encourage forum shopping, where plaintiffs seek favorable judges to enjoin policies nationwide. The senator states universal injunctions were unknown in English common law and cites that only about 27 were issued in the 20th century, but 86 were issued against President Trump in his first term, and 30 so far in his second. The senator suggests universal injunctions have become a weapon against the Trump administration. The witness confirms Article Three doesn't mention universal injunctions, and the senator proposes Congress could limit judges' power to impact those outside their courtroom, suggesting class actions as the appropriate mechanism.

Speaker 0: Senator, a universal injunction is what we call, an order from a court enjoining the government in a way that goes beyond the parties to the case, but applies nationwide or in some cases universally to enjoin the gov Speaker 1: Is it sometimes referred to as a nationwide injunction? Speaker 0: Yes. It is, senator. Speaker 1: What's the statutory basis for a federal judge issuing an order that affects people other than the parties before the court? Speaker 0: I'm not aware of a statutory basis, senator. Speaker 1: There is no statutory basis, is there? Speaker 0: No, senator. Speaker 1: What's the sir United States Supreme Court opinion which interprets the constitution in a way that allows a federal district court judge to do this? Can you name me that case? Speaker 0: I'm not aware of one senator. Speaker 1: There isn't one, is there? Speaker 0: I'm not aware of one senator. Speaker 1: Explain to me how this works. How can a federal judge issue an order that affects everybody else other than those in front of him or her. How is that possible? Speaker 0: It shouldn't be possible, senator, but district courts do it all the time. I think on the theory that the the courts need to enjoin a federal policy from going into effect, and they often will enjoin it as nationwide so all nonparties are protected by that injunction. Speaker 1: I thought that if you wanted to affect parties who aren't in court, you had to file a class action. Speaker 0: That's correct here, senator. Speaker 1: So why don't the federal judges, instead of issuing a a universal injunction with no legal basis, tell the part the plaintiff, look. You gotta go file a class action if you wanna impact parties who aren't subject to my court. Speaker 0: Senator, the Department of Justice makes that argument all the time in our briefs. I think in many cases, class actions would be inappropriate. They wouldn't the the the the plaintiffs couldn't satisfy rule 23 to establish a class. Speaker 1: So they couldn't? Speaker 0: Correct. Speaker 1: So they prefer to ask for a universal injunction? Yes. Does this encourage forum shopping? Speaker 0: Yes, senator. Not only does it encourage forum shopping, but also district shopping and filing multiple strategic lawsuits to pick find one judge that will enjoin a single policy nationwide. If you have five lawsuits, a plaintiff one of only one of those five cases needs to be successful. Speaker 1: Okay. We've established that there's no basis in statute and no basis in supreme court precedent for universal injunction. How about a common law? I mean, this is universal injunction is basically an equitable remedy. Did this exist in common law courts in England on which our law is based? Speaker 0: I don't believe so, senator. I think we've the government has cited, cases, from the Supreme Court that says, you know, courts are really bound by the scope of relief that a court in equity would have granted, back in England before the founding, and the courts at that time would grant relief to the parties in the in the case, not far beyond the Speaker 1: A universal injunction is a remedy is is unknown in English common law, is it not? Speaker 0: I haven't done the research that far back, but I'm not aware of it. Speaker 1: I have. It's unknown. Wasn't part of of equity. Only about 27 universal injunctions were issued in the twentieth century. Does that sound about right? Speaker 0: That's that sounds about right, senator. Speaker 1: But 86 of them were issued against president Trump in his first term. Is that correct? Speaker 0: I don't know the specific number, but they were a high number. Speaker 1: And so far in president Trump's second term, 30 universal injunctions have been issued against him. Have they not? Speaker 0: Senator, I don't have a specific number, but that sounds about right. Speaker 1: The universal injunction has become a weapon against the Trump administration, has it not? Yes. And tell me again in my last ten seconds. Tell me the basis for universal injunction in article three. I I read article three, which defines judicial power. Where does it mention universal injunction? Speaker 0: It does not, senator. It says courts are to decide the case or controversy before them, which is based on the parties to the case. Speaker 1: So the congress could act and say, look, federal judges, you render a decision to a plaintiff or a defendant, but you can't impact people outside of your courtroom other than through a class action. That's why God created class actions, isn't it? Speaker 0: Yes, senator.

There is a potential constitutional crisis involving the judicial branch overriding the legislative and executive branches. 15 district judges seized control of executive branch duties via nationwide injunctions in the current presidency's first six weeks, potentially a judicial coup d'etat. In the past, President Jefferson and Congress abolished courts via the Judiciary Act of 1802. From 2001 to 2023, district courts ordered 96 nationwide injunctions, with 64 during President Trump's time in office. 92% of injunctions against President Trump were issued by judges appointed by Democratic presidents. Since 01/20/2025, lower courts have imposed 15 nationwide injunctions against the current Trump administration, compared to six during George W. Bush's eight years, twelve during Barack Obama's eight years, and 14 during Joe Biden's four year term. The courts have often been challenged, as seen with Presidents Jefferson, Jackson, and Lincoln. The legislative and executive branches can defend their rights, as the Judiciary Act of 1802 proves. The Supreme Court could intervene by suspending nationwide injunctions and immediately taking them up. Congress and the President can take steps to bring the judiciary back into a constitutional framework through hearings and legislation like the "No Road Rulings Act."

Speaker 0: That a preliminary stage of the case without the guidance of the lower courts, they're gonna have to overrule some of their decisions. Let me end where I began. This practice is mistaken as a matter of law and unwise as a matter of policy. Thank you. Thank you. Speaker Gingrich. Speaker 1: Thank you, chairman Isa and Roy, ranking members Johnson and Scanlon, and all the members of the subcommittees for allowing me to testify. There is clearly a potential constitutional crisis involving the judicial branch's effort to fully override the legislative and executive branches. 15 district judges effectively seized control of various executive branch duties in the first six weeks of the current presidency through nationwide injunctions. This is potentially a judicial coup d'etat. It clearly violates the constitution and more than two hundred years of American history. To set the stage for this hearing, let me mention 12 former federal judges appointed by president John Adams. Richard Bassett, Edward Benson, Benjamin Bourne, William Griffith, Samuel Hodge Hitchcock, Philip Barton k, Jeremiah Smith, George Keith Taylor, Oliver Wilcott junior, Williams McClung, Charles McGill, and Williams Tillman. President Johnson president Adams appointed these federal judges on his way out of office to hamstring the incoming president Tom Thomas Jefferson's agenda. President Jefferson concluded that impeaching the judges would take too much time. He and the congress simply abolished the courts in which they served via the Judiciary Act of eighteen o two. This is a constitutional balance of power. The legislative and executive branches can reshape the judiciary branch. It is a useful reminder in considering the current situation. Unelected lower court judges have been steadily grabbing power for years. It was such an obvious threat that in 02/2012, Vince Haley and I wrote, bringing the court back under the constitution. It is an historic study which I am submitting for the record. According to Harvard Law Review, there were 96 nationwide injunctions ordered by district courts from 02/2001 to 02/2023. Two thirds of them, 64, were issued during president's time in office. Furthermore, 92% of the injunctions against president Trump were issued by judges appointed by democratic presidents. Since 01/20/2025, lower courts have imposed 15 nationwide injunctions against the current Trump administration. This is compared to six during George w Bush's eight years, twelve during Barack Obama's eight years, and 14 during Joe Biden's four year term. The notion that unelected lawyers can micromanage the executive branch and override a commander in chief who received 77,300,000 votes should trouble every American. This is particularly troubling for issues of national defense and public safety. Around May, Sun Tzu asserted in the art of war that, quote, speed is the essence of war. How can The United States have speed and national security issues if opponents can judge Shupt to find someone ambitious or arrogant enough to block, repudiate, or delay the president's decisions? There are 677 authorized district judgeships. How many think they can override duly elected presidents? This summary statement is four propositions. First, the courts have often been challenged. President Jefferson wrote, quote, judges as the ultimate arbiters of all constitutional questions would place us under the despotism of an oligarchy, close quote. President Andrew Jackson was in constant fights with the Supreme Court. President Abraham Lincoln made the Dred Scott decision expanding slavery a centerpiece of his eighteen fifty eight senatorial campaign. In his first inaugural, president Lincoln warned that if the Supreme Court held supreme rule, quote, the people will have ceased to be their own rulers, having to that extent practically resigned their government into the hands of that eminent tribunal, close quote. Second, as the judiciary act of '18 o prove 18 o two proves, the legislative and executive branches can constitutionally defend their rights, and they have in the past. It is historically and constitutionally wrong to think the legislative and executive branches are helpless against judiciary actions. Third, the Supreme Court could intervene to eliminate this attack on the executive branch by district judges. Chief justice Roberts could end the growing confrontation by establishing a rule that any nationwide injunction issued by a district court against the executive branch would be suspended in implementation and immediately taken up by the supreme court. This would remedy the lengthy appeals process. Fourth, the congress and the president can take decisive steps toward bringing the judiciary back into a constitutional framework. This hearing is a good first step. There could be a series of hearings on the constitutional and historic framework, which ensures no single branch of government can acquire dictatorial powers, specifically the judiciary in this committee. These hearings would educate the members and the American people. They would create a national understanding of the need to defend the constitution against overreaching branches of government. I would also recommend that the congressman that the congress passed chairman ICE's no road rulings act, which is a good signal to the courts that they have gone too far. Thank you, and I

After four years where they brazenly supported the most lawless department of justice and the most politically weaponized department of justice our nation has ever seen. We just heard the senator from Rhode Island talk about the imperative of protecting judges And yet, not not a single democrat senator cared about the violent protesters that showed up outside supreme court justices' homes, including, I might note, female justices like justice Amy Coney Barrett threatening their family, and Joe Biden's attorney general didn't do a damn thing and refused to enforce the law to protect those judges.

Speaker 0: Law is the is the province of the court. Policy is the province of the elected branches. These are not complicated. Professor Bright, let me ask you this. Do the federal courts have power to issue remedies for people who are not parties to a case? Speaker 1: That's a question I agree is not complicated. They do not have that power. Speaker 0: Is the phrase nationwide injunction or universal injunction found anywhere in the constitution? Constitution? Speaker 1: It is not. First chart. Speaker 0: In the first hundred and fifty years of our republic, how many nationwide injunctions were issued? Speaker 1: My view is that there were not any until 1963. Speaker 0: Zero. Now fast forward. How many how many nationwide injunctions were issued in the entire twentieth century? Speaker 1: It it's a small number. I would I would think it would be a dozen, give or take. It's not large. Speaker 0: 27, actually. Excluding Trump's first term, how many nationwide injunctions were issued in the last twenty years? Far more than that. 32. From '20 02/2001 to 2024 against Biden, Obama, and Bush, thirty two. And how many nationwide injunctions have been issued in the last two months alone? Speaker 1: There have been quite a few. Speaker 0: 37. Let that sink in. There have been no more nationwide injunctions in the past two months against president Trump than in the entire twentieth century. There have been more nationwide injunction against president Trump in the last two months than both terms of George w Bush, both terms of Barack Obama, and Joe Biden's term. We saw during the Biden presidency lawfare, indicting president Trump four times, using the machinery of justice to attack him, and that was an attack on democracy because Democrats today hate democracy. Democrats today are angry at the voters for reelecting Donald Trump and electing a Republican senate and Republican house, and they engage in lawfare to stop democracy from operating. Understand, this is the second phase of lawfare, second chart. This is the second phase of lawfare. Now that their efforts to indict president Trump and stop the voters from reelecting him have failed, They're going and seeking out individual radical judges to try to shut down policies, and they are forum shopping like crazy. Give give me any loon judge put on the bench by Obama or Biden who disagrees with the policy. We just saw a judge flagrantly ignore US immigration law concerning TPS being revoked. US law explicitly said there's no judicial review for that, but, hey, they found a judge who says, you know what? We, the Democrat party, we are the party of illegal aliens. We are the party of murderers and rapists and gang members, and the Democrat party exists here to fight to keep murderers and rapists and gang members in your communities. There's a reason the Democrat Party is at 26% approval nationwide, because they put radical policies ahead of rule of law. Nationwide injunctions are an abuse of power. It is the judiciary acting as policy deciders, and it is incumbent on this committee and this body to rein in the abuse of power from these unelected radical judges who are trying to overturn the election because they disagree with what the voters decided. Speaker 1: Thank you, senator

I’m alarmed by the ongoing judicial battles against Trump, which I believe are undermining our democracy. It seems that unelected judges are sabotaging his presidency and blocking his executive orders, particularly regarding birth tourism and border security. I see a pattern of increased nationwide injunctions since Trump took office, which I view as a coordinated attack on America First policies. The situation feels like a constitutional crisis, and I’m frustrated that Congress isn’t taking action to address this judicial overreach. The stakes are high for our republic.

Nationwide injunctions allow a single federal judge or a small group to halt Trump administration policies, even with weak legal justification. An injunction issued in one jurisdiction, like Maryland, can halt implementation of a law across the entire country, not just locally. A new parallel court system could be created to specifically handle requests for nationwide injunctions.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: Nationwide injunctions mean that one lone federal judge or a small group of them can entirely block everything the Trump administration wants to do even if their legal pretext is somewhat flimsy. And that means if something happens in Maryland, they're not just issuing an injunction of the Maryland jurisdiction. All of America must stop the implementation of said law because what happens in Maryland? It's a nationwide injunction for something where the violation or the thing in question is happening locally. You see, they could create a new parallel court system whose only purpose is handling requests for nationwide injunctions.

There were SIX nationwide injunctions under Bush, TWELVE under Obama, but a STAGGERING 64 under Trump's first term! Now on pace for EVEN MORE! This isn't coincidence - it's COORDINATED JUDICIAL WARFARE against America First! 3/12 [Kirk(4).txt] https://t.co/mc5WEanE1T

Video Transcript AI Summary
Nationwide injunctions occur when a district court judge blocks a law or order from being implemented nationwide, despite their jurisdiction typically covering only one state or part of one state. These injunctions were once uncommon, with six issued during George W. Bush's presidency and twelve during Obama's. However, their frequency increased significantly during Donald Trump's first term, with 64 being issued. At the current rate, this number could be surpassed in the first year of a second Trump term.

Speaker 0: The matter of nationwide injunctions. Pretty much instantly after the Trump executive order, a district court judge issued a nationwide injunction. That's where a single district court judge whose jurisdiction is just one state or even part of one state blocks a law or order from being implemented nationwide. You see nationwide injunctions used to be rare. There were just six of them under George W. Bush's term. There were 12 of them during Obama's presidency, but there were 64 of them in Trump's first term. And at this current pace, he might top that figure in the first year of his second term.

A birth tourism industry exists where pregnant individuals travel to the US to give birth. Evidence suggests some countries, possibly China, send people to the US for this purpose. The children born in the US are then raised in their home countries for many years. Later, these individuals can return to the US and claim citizenship due to their birthright. Abuses like these led to President Trump's executive order.

One of the first orders of the Trump administration was an announcement that this administration is henceforth reinterpreting the meaning of the fourteenth amendment. The fourteenth amendment dates back to the end of the civil war. Its first clause reads, quote, all persons born or naturalized in The United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof are citizens of The United States and of the state wherein they reside. Now the Trump administration announced that from now on, the children of illegal immigrants, tourists, and temporary guest workers are not automatic US citizens. That order didn't take effect, though, and that's the other issue being debated today.

Video Transcript AI Summary
One key question is whether a federal judge can block a presidential policy nationwide. The administration argues this creates an unfair playing field, forcing the government to "win everywhere" while plaintiffs "can win anywhere." Justice Sotomayor responded skeptically, saying the administration's argument "makes no sense whatsoever," and that it would limit the ability of federal courts, and even the Supreme Court, to issue nationwide relief. She asked what would happen if a president issued an executive order to take away everyone's guns, and whether courts would have to "sit back and wait for individuals to sue one by one." The administration also argues that the Fourteenth Amendment's birthright citizenship provision was meant for freed slaves, not immigrants.

Yeah, Diane. Well, as you were just outlining, I mean, one of the key questions here is can an individual federal judge then block a presidential policy nationwide? And the administration here is arguing that the ability to do so creates an unfair playing field saying, quote, this forces the government to win everywhere while the plaintiffs can win anywhere. Now justice Sodio So Sodio Mayor had very skeptical response. She had a tough line of questioning. She said that the administration's argument, quote, makes no sense whatsoever, saying that this would not only limit the ability of federal courts, but also the supreme court to issue nationwide relief. She also made an interesting analogy saying, what would happen if a new president issued an executive order to take away everyone's guns? She asked if in that case, the courts would have to, quote, sit back and wait for individuals to sue one by one to challenge the constitutionality of such an order. Now the administration is also arguing that the fourteenth amendment's provision of birthright citizenship at the time of its passage was meant for freed slaves. It was not meant to apply to immigrants to The United States.

Video Transcript AI Summary
Injunctions were not universally applied until the 1960s, with *Wertz* in 1963 identified as the first instance, according to the speaker's interpretation of *Trump v. Hawaii*. A dispute exists regarding *Perkins v. Lukens Oil* from 1940. The speaker cites cases like *National Treasury Employees Union*, *Perkins v. Lukens Oil*, *Frothingham*, *Massachusetts v. Mellon*, and *Scott v. Donald* to show courts have historically limited injunctive relief to the plaintiffs in the case. Universal injunctions were rare even in the 1960s, with a surge occurring around 2007, particularly in the Ninth Circuit concerning environmental claims, as highlighted in a cert petition for *Summers v. Island Institute*. Justice Alito is then addressed.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: Injunctions used. We believe that the best reading of that is what you said in Trump against Hawaii, which is that Wertz in 1963 was really the first universal injunction. There's a dispute about Perkins against Lukens Oil going back to 1940. And, of course, we point to the court's opinion that reversed that that that universal injunction issued by the DC circuit and said it's it's profoundly wrong. Now if you look at the the the cases that the either party site, you see a common theme. The cases that we cite, like National Treasury, Treasury's Employment Union, Perkins against Lukens Oil, Frothingham, and and Massachusetts against Mellon, going back to Scott against Donald. And all of those, those are cases where the court considered and addressed the sort of universal, in that case, statewide, issue of provision of injunctive relief. So when the court has considered and addressed this, it has consistently said, you have to limit the remedy to the plaintiffs who are appearing in court in complaining of that remedy. So we survived until the nineteen sixties without universal injunction. That's exactly correct. And in fact, those are very limited very rare even in the nineteen sixties. It really exploded in 02/2007 in our cert petition in Summers against Island Institute. We pointed out that the Ninth Circuit had started doing this in a whole bunch of cases involving environmental claims. Justice Alito? You began by outlining what you

Video Transcript AI Summary
The discussion centers on the Smith-Mont Act (referred to as the Smithmont Act) and its modernization, arguing it enabled U.S. influence operations abroad while constraining them at home. The claim is that, after World War II, winning elections and shaping law in foreign countries required an apparatus to influence hearts and minds, which shifted warfare from military occupation to political subversion. In this view, the 1948 act authorized a covert, permanent department of “dirty tricks” to infiltrate and co-opt universities, unions, media, politicians, judges, and the broader “swarm army” of influence, effectively creating a global propaganda machinery controlled by the State Department, CIA, and later USAID. A key figure cited is Frank Wisner, associated with the so-called Wissner’s Wurlitzer, described as a “church organ” that could play the international media like a symphony to cause any media narrative to go viral worldwide. The assertion is that the United States and United Kingdom dominated early robust radio, film, TV, and print, enabling foreign propaganda operations. The Smith-Mont framework supposedly allowed the U.S. to plant fake news abroad—“propaganda abroad”—but prohibited such activities from affecting domestic audiences, shielding Americans from comparable interference. The speaker argues the rationale for this separation was economic: if foreign governments resisted resource access, military basing, or U.S. multinational operations, Americans would bear economic costs (lower living standards, fewer imports, higher prices). Thus, foreign influence operations were designed to be accessible abroad and barred from coming home. This protection lasted about seventy years but is claimed to have eroded in the last decade, with reference to a broader “Smithmont problem” now affecting funding and operations. The claimed evolution is that the foreign policy establishment can fund groups that operate domestically in a dual-use fashion—providing foreign grants for media propaganda abroad while also operating within the U.S.—and can influence social media censorship to coerce foreign governments into enacting censorship laws that affect U.S. peer-to-peer speech. The speaker warns that, to preserve the foreign influence function, there must be a hard firewall and severe penalties for any violations, implying the importance of maintaining a clear boundary between foreign propaganda activities and domestic communications. Overall, the transcript asserts that the Smith-Mont framework created a permanent, cloaked apparatus for influencing foreign audiences, with a historical showcase of Wisner’s organization and its reach, while stressing the need to reinstate stringent firewalls and penalties to prevent domestic misuse of such operations.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: Are you familiar with the Smithmont Act? Is that the 02/2012 thing where Obama allowed people to use propaganda against United States citizens? Yeah. That was what was done then under Obama was the was the effective repeal of it. It was called the Smith Modernization Act. But the modernization got rid of the whole purpose of it, the the fire the firewall. Because at the time, the media and media control was seen as as the linchpin crux of winning the Cold War. Piping in pro US media influence to so that the because everything moved after World War two from kinetic warfare and military occupation. You know, we used to militarily occupy The Philippines, for example, after we won the Spanish American war. But that was that was banned under international law, territorial acquisition by military force in 1948. So we had to win elections, and and we had to influence the the passage of laws in foreign countries by having an apparatus inside those countries that influenced the hearts and minds of people, which influenced who they voted for, which then determined the government. So you had to move towards political vassalage rather than military occupation. And what the Smithmont Act did is simultaneous with the creation of this in 1948, congress recognized the Frankensteinian monster they were creating by authorizing a covert permanent department of dirty tricks, and this is their phrase, not mine, to do this cloak and dagger to in to to infiltrate and and co op the universities, the unions, the media, the politicians, the judges, the whole swarm army. You know, what I have been calling for a long time, The USA Truman Show because it's, you know, these people in these foreign countries have no idea, you know, how many how many of the things they interact with that are effectively a movie set being constructed by the US State Department and its sister influence orgs. But the point that I'm getting at here is the the Smith Muntin Act in 1948 said, okay. You guys can do this. State Department can do this. CIA can do this. USAID, when it came along thirteen years later, could do this. But we so there was a guy named Frank Wissner who was known as one of the godfather figures of the CIA. He's known for creating what was called the Wissner's Wurlitzer, which was a it's like a church organ, and that he would brag that he could play the international media like a symphony to make any media narrative go viral in any country on earth because of the the suite of CIA proprietary media functions and its net and its distribution network, especially when The US had first mover advantage in radio and print. It's basically The US and UK were the the only games in town really in having robust radio, film, TV, and print media. So the Smithmont was said, okay. You can do that abroad. You can plant fake news stories in France. You can, you know, you can have propaganda blare into Africa or Western Europe or Central Asia, but that can't come home. You can't sigh up our own people with your propaganda organ abroad because the point of authorizing this is that we get cheaper gas, we get import export markets, you know, we get a high standard of living because if a foreign government doesn't wanna give up its resources or allow US military base or allow joint partnerships or or exports of of goods or US multinational corporations to operate there, then the American people suffer economically. So it was always designed to say, listen, you can do this dirty stuff abroad, but it can't come home. We have and even that protection, which which lasted for seventy years and only we only lost it a decade ago. We're up against a much actually deeper darker problem with this USAID scandal and as people will see increasingly the the scandals that will break open at the Pentagon and the State Department, which is that we have a Smithmont problem for funding and operations. It's not just propaganda. The blob, our foreign policy establishment, can fund groups that effectively work with prosecutors domestically or that or that work at media, you know, dual sort of dual use. We we give them foreign grants to do media propaganda abroad, but they operate here. Or social media censorship to coerce foreign countries to pass foreign censorship laws that explicitly and are intended to attack US social media companies and in US peer to peer speech. So we need that protection if we're going to keep this function at all. We need a hard firewall and absolute grotesque penalties for any violation.
