The speaker states the president stands by his comments, as does the entire administration. They claim a democracy cannot exist if a single district court judge can assume the powers of the commander in chief. They contrast this with the Supreme Court, where it takes five justices to change federal policy. The speaker asserts that a single district court judge out of 700 cannot set policy for the entire nation, especially on national security and public safety issues. The president has tremendous respect for Justice Roberts and believes the Supreme Court should crack down and stop the assault on democracy from radical rogue judges. These judges are allegedly usurping the powers of the presidency and laying waste to the constitutional system.

Speaker 0 believes a blue tsunami will force Congress to haul Elon Musk and others in front of lawmakers to ask, “what crimes did you commit?” It will get really serious. The same with Trump, because Speaker 0 thinks they commit crimes every day. To reconcile all of this, they argue for hardcore, not integrity Democrats, delivering: “Fuck you, Democrats. Fuck you for fucking over our country. We are serious about this. We are prosecuting. We're gonna uncover every document, every phone call, everything you did. We will be relentless about it.” The mindset they urge Democrats to adopt is driven by the electorate seeking both removal of figures like Trump and accountability. Speaker 1 concurs on accountability, stating there must be a scenario where there is accountability. They reference Fanon, a former MPD police officer who nearly died on January 6, to support the view that it’s about more than Democrats winning back Congress and the White House. Speaker 1 argues for changing the John Roberts Supreme Court decision that gave the president of the United States a blank check, insisting that no man or woman should be above the law, and that Donald Trump should not be above the law. The Democrats should communicate that, if back in power, clinging to the idea that Donald Trump is unaccountable “it's just not gonna work.” This, Speaker 1 says, includes adding seats to the Supreme Court so that immunity’s decision can be overturned and so Donald Trump can be held accountable for his crime.

The court supports the freedoms and equality of the American people, but it won't be our savior. True change requires people actively amending the constitution. However, constitutional protections can quickly erode, as seen with Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, which is being disregarded. It will be up to us on January 6, 2025, to inform the Trump supporters that he is disqualified. This situation creates a need for protection and raises tensions, all because some justices refuse to interpret the 14th Amendment properly. Cherilyn's new center aims to revive this important discussion while we continue to push for constitutional amendments.

The speaker expresses concern over the erosion of American principles and the rise of politically motivated prosecutors. They criticize the selective treatment in the criminal justice system, citing examples such as the Russia hoax and corrupt district attorneys. The speaker accuses the Biden-appointed special counsel of weaponizing the system by bringing federal charges against President Trump, while ignoring others who possessed classified documents. They argue that targeting a political opponent is reminiscent of dictatorships and goes against democratic ideals. The speaker concludes by stating that this is not the America our democracy is founded upon.

The speakers aim to provide tools to understand complex legal matters, drawing on their experience as prosecutors. They intend to guide people through judgment and strategy calls. A key takeaway from the Trump administration is the realization that constitutional rights and Department of Justice norms are not guaranteed. Fundamental aspects of America are not immutable. The speakers believe that every generation must fight for these values. Regardless of what happens with Donald Trump, the struggle to ensure that the values we care about remain core American values will persist.

Over the past four years, our nation's core values and institutions have faced a new kind of test, reminiscent of challenges during the Civil War era. It felt like a balloon being inflated to its breaking point. The courts play a crucial role in upholding the rule of law, acting as a safeguard against arbitrary actions and defending our constitutional values. In the legal system, especially during sentencing, it's vital to recognize the individual before you. Whether they are a woman, Black, transgender, poor, rich, or anything else, they bring life experiences that you may not have shared. To apply the law justly, you must understand their perspective and apply the law accordingly.

No person is above the law, regardless of their position or title. This principle is fundamental to American justice. Everyone, including former presidents, must be held accountable under the same laws. There cannot be two justice systems; we must ensure that the law applies equally to all. The rule of law means that no one is exempt, and it is essential for maintaining a fair society. The idea that anyone could be above the law undermines the very foundation of our legal system. We must uphold this principle to ensure justice for everyone.

Over the past four years, our country's constitutional values and institutions have been tested, reminiscent of challenges faced during the Civil War era. It felt like we were inflating a balloon, pushing it to its limits. The challenges to the rule of law brought us dangerously close to that breaking point. Courts play a crucial role in upholding the rule of law, preventing arbitrary actions, and safeguarding our values as enshrined in the Constitution. When sentencing, it's imperative to recognize that the individuals appearing before the court, regardless of their background, are entitled to have the law applied to their unique circumstances. We must consider their experiences and perspectives to ensure fair and just application of the law.

Dan Bongino posted on X that something he learned from his time at the FBI shocked him to his core, stating, "we cannot run a republic like this, and I'll never be the same after learning what I've learned." Speaker 1 responded that they have seen up close the tactics used by those who care more for themselves, their ambition, their job, their influence, their political interests, and their selfish, self-serving interests than they care about the Constitution. They stated that every law enforcement and intelligence community professional swears an oath to support and defend the Constitution. Speaker 1 expressed their own frustrations but affirmed their resolve is rooted in love for the country and belief in its founding values, and therefore, they feel a responsibility to do something about what they are revealing, seeing, and experiencing firsthand.

A senator accuses Democrat colleagues of hypocrisy regarding the rule of law, citing their past support for a "lawless" and "politically weaponized" Department of Justice. They claim Democrats didn't care about violent protests outside Supreme Court justices' homes, alleging the Attorney General agreed with the protesters to intimidate judges. The senator questions a professor about the roles of voters, elected representatives, and judges in elections and policy decisions. The senator asserts that federal courts do not have the power to issue remedies for people who are not parties to a case and that "nationwide injunction" is not in the constitution. The senator states that there were zero nationwide injunctions in the first 150 years of the republic, 27 in the 20th century, and 32 between 2001 and 2024. They claim 37 nationwide injunctions have been issued in the last two months alone against President Trump. The senator accuses Democrats of "lawfare" by indicting Trump and now seeking out radical judges to shut down policies through forum shopping. They allege a judge ignored US immigration law to keep "murderers and rapists and gang members" in communities, and that nationwide injunctions are an abuse of power.

The speaker discusses a lawsuit filed by their organization, arguing that it is necessary for the future of democracy. They counter the argument that not letting voters have their say goes against democracy by pointing out that in 2020, voters had the opportunity to choose Donald Trump as president, but he refused to accept the result and incited a violent insurrection. They explain that the provision in the 14th Amendment was included in the constitution to defend the republic from such attacks on democracy. The speaker also mentions the qualifications to be president, including not having engaged in insurrection.

The 14th Amendment ensures equal protection under the law for all American citizens. However, the speaker argues that the left still discriminates based on race. They mention a new contract in Portland's Teachers Union that allows different disciplinary measures for white, black, and Hispanic students. The speaker sarcastically advises Portland students to use their race, gender identity, or sexual orientation as excuses to avoid punishment. They claim that this unequal treatment is also seen in the criminal justice system, where certain groups receive special treatment. The speaker blames Obama for starting this trend in 2014 by investigating schools that disciplined black students more than white students. They argue that this leniency in punishment creates problems for society.

We're at a troubling moment where facts are dismissed, a risky business for our democracy. Historian Heather Cox Richardson explains in her book, Democracy Awakening, that burying facts with false history is a key to authoritarianism. Big lies are springboards for authoritarians. America is at a crossroads, teetering on authoritarianism, but it is in our hands to change this. The book focuses on historical facts to set the record straight about conspiratorial retellings of our history. My judicial colleagues and I regularly see the impact of big lies when sentencing individuals convicted for their offense conduct on January 6th. We are all about the facts and enforcing the rules to ensure authentic and reliable facts are brought forward.

The speaker asserts that the current Republican president is the first in their congressional tenure who is not a patriot, contrasting him with past Republican presidents like the Bushes and Ronald Reagan, with whom they had patriotic common ground despite disagreements. The speaker wants people to know that Democrats in Congress are sincerely patriotic, valuing liberty, justice, and the Constitution. They believe the current president does not respect the Constitution's separation of powers, which the Democratic Party is committed to protecting.

Donald Trump and the other defendants committed persistent and repeated fraud. This was proven in the motion for summary judgment last week. The other claims will be proven today. No one is above the law, no matter how powerful or wealthy they are. It is the speaker's responsibility and duty to enforce the law. The law is both powerful and fragile. The case will be proven in court today, and justice will prevail.

Courts uphold the rule of law, protecting us from arbitrary actions, even those resembling tyranny, as we've recently witnessed. They reinforce our values, specifically those enshrined in the Constitution, in a legal context. History provides numerous instances of this, and we've observed many examples in recent years as well.

The speaker believes there was a miscarriage of justice in the courtroom, with judges siding with the prosecution and hindering the defense. They stress the importance of equal protection under the law as a fundamental constitutional principle in American Jurisprudence.

When we sentence someone, we must recognize the person before us. They might be a woman, Black, transgender, poor, rich, or have experiences different from our own. We must walk in their shoes and understand that the law applies to them in their specific circumstances. Then, we need to apply the law accordingly, with this understanding in mind. It's about recognizing the human being and their unique situation when applying justice.

Speaker 0 states that there are people who believe we are in an assault on the constitutional order and asks whether we are currently experiencing a constitutional crisis. Yes, he answers, our democracy is at risk because Donald Trump shows that he wishes to violate the laws in many, many different ways. He notes the positive counterpoint: the good news is that 235 judges, progressive judges, judges not under the control of Trump, were put on the bench last year, and they are ruling against Trump time after time after time. Speaker 0 then adds that they hope the appellate courts, when the cases rise to that level and ultimately reach the Supreme Court, will uphold those rulings. He mentions concrete actions tied to this judiciary effort: they restored the money to NIH, and they required that 8,000 employ federal employees have to come back. He emphasizes the scope of legal challenges by stating, “We’re in over a 100 lawsuits against them, and we are having a good deal of success.” He concludes by clarifying the current stage of these legal battles: “It’s only at the lower court level right now.”

The speaker discusses the issue of classified documents and the concept of equal justice. They mention that President Biden, as a former senator and vice president, may have had access to such documents and would have had to hide or steal them to keep them. The speaker expresses concern that equal justice may not be upheld in this situation, which is a concern for all Americans. As policymakers and elected officials, they emphasize the importance of ensuring equal justice for all.

I believe the United States is in a type of civil war. By that, I mean we have irreconcilable differences. Each side is willing to fight for the outcomes that they want. In that kind of environment, the question becomes, how will the legal system function? Will it stand in the way of the fight, or will the fight itself become more important than anything else? That's the type of situation we're currently facing.

The speaker discusses the potential sentencing of Donald Trump, arguing it's crucial he's treated comparably to others prosecuted in DC to avoid the appearance of selective prosecution. They cite Enrique Tarrio's 22-year sentence as a precedent, emphasizing that Trump, as the leader, should be held accountable. The speaker believes Judge Chutkin will likely sentence Trump to jail, despite the presence of Secret Service. They stress the importance of equal justice under the law, stating there can't be two systems of justice. The speaker concludes there is ample precedent for Trump's prosecution based on current cases in DC, noting judges are speaking with one voice on these cases.

The speaker claims nationwide injunctions against the executive branch are a "judicial coup d'etat" violating the constitution. They cite President Jefferson's response to Federalist judges appointed by John Adams, who abolished their courts via the Judiciary Act of 1802, as a constitutional balance of power. The speaker notes a surge in nationwide injunctions, with 64 of 96 issued between 2001 and 2023 occurring during the current president's time in office, and 92% of those against President Trump issued by Democrat-appointed judges. Since January 20, 2025, there have been 15 nationwide injunctions against the current administration, compared to six under George W. Bush, twelve under Barack Obama, and fourteen under Joe Biden. The speaker presents four propositions: 1) Courts have often been challenged by presidents like Jefferson, Jackson, and Lincoln. 2) The legislative and executive branches can defend their rights, as proven by the Judiciary Act of 1802. 3) The Supreme Court could intervene by immediately taking up any nationwide injunction issued by a district court. 4) Congress and the president can take steps to bring the judiciary back into a constitutional framework through hearings.

Over the past four years, and at other times in our history, the values and constitutional principles that form the foundation of our country have been tested. Our institutions have been challenged in ways many thought impossible. In the 1800s, war tested us, and we survived, though with some missteps. I view the last four years as a new kind of test. It's like inflating a balloon – you keep adding air until it bursts. With the challenges to the rule of law, it felt like we were on the verge of that balloon popping.

The corruption and weaponization of our justice system pose a severe threat to American freedom. As president, I will prioritize restoring fairness and equality under the law by appointing U.S. attorneys who oppose the current trend of selective enforcement by certain district attorneys. We will investigate these officials for potential violations of federal civil rights laws and hold them accountable. A federal inquiry will also be launched into the prosecution of individuals defending themselves against threats. Additionally, we will address the use of police tactics against conservatives and reform the legal profession to protect conservative lawyers. Our legal system, a cornerstone of Western civilization, must be preserved from radical influences. Thank you.
