SEAN HANNITY (HOST): The Trump-hating anti-deportation judge, James Boasberg, has now been picked to preside over a lawsuit on the leaked Signal chat war plans. After a lawsuit was brought by some leftist activist group. Anyway, quote, "government watchdog group," American Oversight filed a lawsuit earlier today alleging that Pete Hegseth and others violated federal records laws by discussing the Houthi attack plans in a Signal group chat. The contest has been randomly assigned to Boasberg, who serves on the U.S. District Court for D.C.

I hope this now becomes the impetus for Republicans to now stand up and say these district court judges should not have the authority to thwart the Trump agenda. More than any other president, Donald Trump is having the courts attacking them left, right, and sideways, all in an attempt to prevent Trump from implementing the agenda that the American people elected him to implement. And he has the constitutional authority and mandate to do so. But these liberal activist judges keep going. 

Now, Mike Johnson has threatened to eliminate U.S. district courts after the judges tried to hijack Trump's presidency. "We do have the authority over the federal courts. As you know, we can eliminate the entire district court. We have the power of funding over the courts, and all these other things," Johnson said yesterday. "But, despite times -- desperate times like these call for desperate measures, and Congress is going to act."
