This is the primal scream of a dying regime. Pray for our enemies because we're going medieval on these people. Christians, I got a free shot. All these networks lying about the people. The people have had a belly full of it. I know you don't like hearing that. I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it. It's going to happen.

And where do people like that go.

To share the big lie? MAGA MEDIA I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience. Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.

WAR ROOM here's your host, Stephen K. Ban.
Steve Bannon (1:00)
It's Friday the 27th of June, year of our Lord 2025. This is one of the issues I had with having to cover this war, that you get sucked into it. And every second of every day, like President Trump, you just got to focus on it. Think about it for the first hour now the second hour. So many important, monumental things have kind of happened in the last 72 hours. But these are all years in the in the making, both at the start, Supreme Court for support of the family, in support of traditional American values, and also in the Make America Healthy Again movement and what Bobby Kennedy did the other day. So monumental couple of days and we're spend time doing it. Julie Kelly, I want to go back to you. Mike Davis was able to allude to it quickly this and look, I'm not a lawyer, I don't pretend to be one, but that opinion got pretty personal. It got pretty personal. And as they circulated, that means the other justices, particularly people like Clarence Thomas and Alito, had to kind of a nod of approval. I mean, Amy Coney Barrett took a shot right at Judge Brown Jackson, essentially, not just for her coming down the side of an imperial judiciary, but kind of took a shot at not being totally with the program and really understanding the law, ma' am.

I mean, she really did. This was a blowtorch from Amy Coney Barrett against Ketanji Brown Jackson. Now, of course, the three liberal harpies dissented in this opinion. Sonia Sotomayor wrote the majority, the minority dissent. Excuse me, but Katanji Brown Jackson, who has by far the greatest number of words in Supreme Court oral arguments. I know you've seen that chart that shows her way ahead of everyone else in her commentary. A few times she has had to be held back by Justice Chief Justice John Roberts for continually interrupting and opining during these oral Arguments. At any rate, she had to throw in her 2, 3, 4, 5 cents as well. And what Ketanji Brown Jackson claims is basically Trump is an authoritarian. The judiciary's role, including these district court judges who are acting single handedly, they are actually the authoritarians because of course, no one elected them. They were appointed and confirmed by the Senate to these lifetime gigs. So. And she actually warns that this is going to result in the demise of the Republic. Katanji Brown Jackson saying, this leaves a gash in the basic tenets of our founding charter that could turn out to be a mortal wound. What it means to have a system of government that is founded by law is that everyone is constrained by the law, no exceptions. And for that to actually happen, courts must have the power to order everyone, including the executive, to follow the law, full stop. That's not the judiciary's role. Is Amy Coney Barrett one of her rebuttals to Ketanji Brown Jackson is no. Our job is to take cases and litigation that is passed up through us, from the district court to appellate court to us, and to manage those cases to decide who is right and who is wrong. So this did get very personal. One point, Amy Coney Barrett actually sort of suggesting that Katanji Brown Jackson is not following her oath as a judge to work within the constraints of Congress and the Constitution, that the judiciary is not imperial, that is not all encompassing. The judges can just decide on their own if the executive or anyone else is following the law. That's not their co. Equal branches of government. But in Ketanji Brown Jackson and, and Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan, except for a few years ago when she also decried the use of nationwide preliminary injunctions, now changed her mind because of Trump. Everything is through the lens of Donald Trump and Republicans and people like us, the MAGA movement, everything that they consider is through the lens of Donald Trump and maga. So that's how you got Amy Coney Barrett taking another shot at what Ketanji Brown Jackson saying is legalese. Too much legalese coming from the Supreme Court in this majority opinion. And she mocked that as well, saying, well, I'm sorry, basically this is a mind numbingly technical query. That's what Katandi Brown Jackson criticized the majority about. She offers a vision of the judicial role that would make even the most ardent defenders of judicial supremacy blush. This is Amy Coney Barrett about Ketanji Brown Jackson observing the limits on judicial authority, including as relevant here, the boundaries of the Judiciary act of 1789, which is the basis of their overturning these injunctions, something that Ketanji Brown Jackson said is legalese. Here's Amy Coney Barrett Continuing is required by a judge's oath to follow the law. No one disputes that the executive has a duty to follow the law. More Amy Coney Barrett. Amy Coney Barrett but the judiciary does not have unbridled authority to enforce this obligation. In fact, sometimes the law prohibits the judiciary from doing so. So there is a lot it seems like maybe pent up frustration from Amy Coney Barrett in this opinion. But look, I also think it's sort of a political move by ACB because she has been criticized by us and others, certainly our friend Mike Davis and MAGA quarters for suddenly appearing to be siding with the three liberal harpies. I think this is a way of her not only signaling that she's not aligned with them, has serious questions about their abilities and their intelligence, but also maybe showing her own or trying to show her own independence as one of the justices is on the Supreme Court.
