MATT WALSH (HOST): When the courts speak, you just have to honor their judgment no matter what they say. No matter what. If a federal judge tomorrow issues a ruling saying that, you know, everybody has to wear a red shirt on Tuesday, well, you just gotta do it. You know? The fact that he has no power to issue that ruling and no power to enforce it and he's way outside the bounds of Constitution, doesn't matter. He's a judge in a robe. He said it, so we all gotta do it. I mean, that's what Chuck Schumer is saying. But if you remember just a couple of years back, Democrats like Chuck Schumer were standing in front of the Supreme Court threatening individual judges over their rulings. AOC was telling Anderson Cooper that Biden should just ignore Supreme Court rulings, and he did. He admitted the court had struck down his plan to cancel student loans, for example, so he just went ahead and did it anyway. Now these same Democrats are maintaining that judges should never be questioned under any circumstances. The same Democrats who were, you know, organizing protests outside the houses of supreme court justices, now they're saying, well, no, if the judge says it, honor it. Doesn't matter.
Now the reality, of course, is somewhere in the middle of these two extremes that the Democrats have bounced between. Judges are not infallible. They can deliberately and maliciously violate the Constitution just like anyone else can. And when that happens, when a judicial coup is underway, a response is necessary. We're not talking about one or two bad rulings here. We're not talking about rulings that block a handful of policy goals or anything like that. We're at the point where the president is not being allowed to do anything. He can't even edit a website. Left-wing judges are issuing emergency injunctions on everything without even deciding actual cases.
You know, the only way to get us out from under this judicial tyranny is for Trump to disregard these orders and for Congress to impeach the judges responsible for them. Throughout our history, there have only been a handful of times when presidents have needed to consider drastic actions like that. The country was clearly better off because Andrew Jackson did it. And now two centuries later, it's equally clear that this country would be better off if the Trump administration followed in Jackson's footsteps and dared these judges to enforce these rulings. They can't do it, obviously. You know, they complain and issue more injunctions and more opinions. Fine. Meanwhile, the rest of us, people who want to see this country improve, will get exactly what we voted for.
