Vince
Hey, good morning, and welcome to Vince. Always good to have you with us now on a Friday. Nice to talk to you today. It's just been such a crazy, busy week. I want to say hello, as always, to the Rumble Chat watching us live. Rumble.com Vince, hope everybody's having a fantastic day going into this weekend, and we've got a big show ahead. We've got a lot of crazy judges in the United States of America. Do you know that? Do you know how many crazy judges we have? Those who think that they're in charge of the entire United States government? A ton of them. In fact, in the last 24 hours alone, a bunch of these lunatics have jumped out and they'd like for us to talk about them. So we will. We're gonna talk about them also. You see the judge that the FBI, led by Cash Patel and Dan Bongino, just arrested for his role in harboring illegal aliens? Yeah, that just happened. And Mike Davis from the Article 3 project is gonna join us today live. Can't wait to talk to Mike and get his perspective. He just had a huge meeting at the United States Department of Justice. Talked to all of the top officials there, and he's promising some very, very big events to take place in the next weeks and months ahead. I'll ask Mike everything he knows. It's all ahead on this edition of Vince, great to have you with us. Hey. The original promise of the Internet was to provide a virtual world of equals free from the dictates of government and business. We're really far from that original promise, aren't we? We've got big tech companies that aren't just advertising for other big businesses, but they're controlling the things you see to try to sway your vote. But there is a way to take back control of all of it, and that's with ExpressVPN. Every time you go online, your Internet service providers tracking, creating a profile based on everything that you do. Data brokers then sell your profile to whomever is willing to pay for it. Advertisers and even government agencies. But, you see, with ExpressVPN, 100% of my online traffic travels through secure, encrypted servers. So nobody can watch what I do, not even my Internet provider. ExpressVPN also hides your IP address, that number that identifies you online. ExpressVPN is very easy to use. It takes just one click, and it works on all of your devices. Right now, you can get up to four months free if you go to expressvpn.com/vince that's E X P R E S vpn.comvince for an extra four months free. Yeah, we've. We've got a big show on our hands today. First and foremost, we've got a judge who was just arrested by the FBI by a bunch of a couple of these federal government agencies. A lot of FBI agents there doing this arrest of a former judge by the name of Joel Kano, who was just arrested along with his wife Nancy Kano. And these guys were harboring an illegal alien inside of their home in New Mexico. Take a look at the video just out in the last 24 hours of these guys being arrested. Look at that. That's the wife being tucked away inside of the vehicle. They came and arrested her. There's the judge in handcuffs. FBI agents arresting him, taking him into custody. Makes a lot of sense. And it's not just any illegal that this judge had in custody. In fact, this was a Trende Aragua member in Las Cruces, New Mexico, a former judge and his wife taken into custody after authorities raided their home yesterday following accusations that they had an alleged Trend Aragua member living inside of their house. Take a look at this. This is from the local FOX and CBS affiliate. I guess they're kind of a combo affiliate there. This judge taken into custody K Fox 14 and CBS 4 on the scene Thursday afternoon. That's where that video comes to us from. And they. And they captured all this when the home of former Dona Ana County Magistrate Judge Joel Kano and his wife Nancy Kano, when U.S. immigration and Customs Enforcement executed a search warrant and a probable cause arrest warrant, they describe both were taken into custody. A spokesperson for ICE confirmed they were taken into custody as part of an ongoing investigation led by Homeland Security Investigations. Kano was charged with tampering with evidence and his wife Nancy was charged with conspiracy to tamper. The raid comes after he had resigned in March. He just resigned his post because he was caught hosting someone called Christian Cristian Ortega Lopez, an illegal alien from Venezuela. They say in the copy here. Undocumented migrant. That's another way of saying illegal alien from Venezuela. And an alleged TDA member. Investigators saying that Nancy hired Lopez to work on the house. The wife did. She hired him. And then they said, well, why don't you live here? And then he started getting close to the daughter. They say, look at the mug shots of these two. Nancy Kano and Joel Kano there. They say that he started getting close to the daughter and he just. They just had the guy keep living in the house. Anyway, you brought an illegal alien into the house. First of all, problem one, he starts getting close to your daughter. Yeah, get this guy out of the house. What in the world are these guys thinking? So here you have a judge in New Mexico caught by federal authorities, forced out of his job as a result of that. And now consequences. This is the FO of the fafo as this judge is now being placed under arrest. The FBI on the hand to arrest him yesterday. So W's in the chat. How about the live chat? A bunch of W's in the chat. This is the. This is very straightforward. You catch the guy committing a crime, you identify who exactly it was, and then you arrest him. This is it. This is what I want to see over and over and over again, all the W's popping up in the chat. Now, this is for win. This is a win as these guys are held accountable. And here's the critical component. I'm glad there's video. I want there to be video. I want a walk of shame for each of these people. Because when that happens, that means you get less of that behavior going forward into the future. It's a deterrent. F a f o w w, w W. So a big. A big win for America yesterday as this guy is. Is held accountable for keeping a trendy Aragua member. You know, we hear so much about these judges. They're so wonderful. These judges are. They're as pure as the driven snow. Just wonderful, neutral arbiters of justice. And meanwhile, a judge in New Mexico is literally harboring illegal aliens inside of his home. It's not the first time we've seen that either, by the way. We see these judges do all sorts of dastardly things. There are judges who will smuggle illegal alien defendants out of the back of the courtroom after the proceedings are over to try and prevent them from being deported because they know ICE agents are waiting at the front of the courthouse. We've seen that happen. And it is long past time for immense accountability for public officials who are violating the law, who are betraying America. Look, if you and I can be penalized merely for voting for Trump, the least that we can do is penalize the actual people who break the law. That's the least we can do and hold them accountable. We gotta right this ship. And that's a good start. So I like seeing that. That judge busted yesterday by the FBI. I saw our buddy Dan Bongino sharing the news of that as well. Yesterday was a little bit of. Just a little bit something to share with you. That we've got this guy in custody and his wife. So that's a very good thing. But these judges, they continue. They continue to do the craziest possible things, including, we've been talking a lot about Kilmar Abrego Garcia, that judge, excuse me, that Ms. 13 guy who's in El Salvador. And we've got judges, district judges here in the United States who want this guy back. They say, you know what I really need? I really need Kilmar. Give me Kilmar. They want Kilmar back. They got a bad case of the Kilmars here in the United States. These lefties so bad that some of their emissaries, like Chris Van Hollen, will go down to El Salvador to pay him a conjugal visit, like four other Democrat congressmen going down this week to pay him a conjugal visit, saying, please, Kilmar, please, I need you to come back to the United States. Of course, we don't need this. We need that like we need a hole in the head. We don't need Kilmar Abrego Garcia back in the United states. The guy's Ms. 13. And we need to be ejecting more people like him with rapidity, with alacrity, with haste. Pick your synonym for speed. We need to get him out of the country. And now we have another federal judge who's playing stupid games. You play very stupid games here, and here's what you get. A judge. According to the Washington Post today, another judge has ordered the return to the United States of a second migrant. They say migrant deported to El Salvador. That's another way of saying illegal alien, gangster. The Venezuelan man arrived as an unaccompanied minor, they say, and his asylum claim is being adjudicated. A federal judge ordering the Trump administration this week, yesterday to bring back a Venezuelan man to the United States after he was sent to El Salvador under the Alien Enemies Act. It's the second time the courts have demanded that the government brings back a, quote, migrant illegal alien who had protection from deportation but was sent to a mega prison instead. Separately, the Trump administration shared its plans in federal court yesterday for notifying migrants that intends to deport under the act, revealing that detainees will be given 12 hours. Good 12 hours to state whether they want to contest being labeled an alien enemy. Lawyers representing the migrants said that will not offer them a meaningful opportunity to condense the designation. So another judge here interfering and demanding that this guy should come back. It was Wednesday. U.S. district Judge Stephanie Gallagher of Maryland saying that he should come Back. He should have been shielded from removal. The federal judge said in a court filing that an illegal alien identified only as Christian. There's a lot of these Christian variations this morning among the illegal aliens should have been protected from deportation because he was a part of a settlement involving several plaintiffs who were granted the right to remain in the United States while their asylum claims were processed. Here's the thing about this fellow, this illegal alien, in addition to the fact that he's here illegally, ICE officials say that Christian was just convicted of a felony for cocaine possession. He's guilty. He's got a felony conviction that just took place. I'm pulling up the court document now. Check this out. Here it is. I just, I as. As you do, you read through the court documents and what do you know? Do you start to see the truth here? On January 6, 2025, he was. That was this year. That was just like a. That was a couple months ago. He was convicted in the 482nd District Court at Harris County, Texas, for the offensive possession of cocaine. A Texas state jail felony. Jail felony. So, in other words, this idea that he has this asylum claim, he can stay in the United States, you know, a quick way to get rid of an asylum claim, have a felony, have a felony conviction right here in the United States of America. So this is who these judges are fighting to bring back to America. Luckily, the guy's in El Salvador right now, so. So yet another judge sticking her fat face into the business of the American people. I saw somebody point out, you know, why doesn't Trump just become a district judge? You want real power in this country, become a district judge. I think, Oh, I think it was the Babylon Be, actually. I think it was one of their headlines. Just become a district judge. Because all of a sudden, you're in charge of the entire federal government. You're in charge of everything. You don't like something the President is doing, Just object. Just object. And then the whole country needs to grind to a halt because you, oh, random district judge, get to tell the American people to pound sand. The American voter. The will of the American voter upended by random district judges all across the country on a whim. And you know what the left is doing? You know what the left is doing? They're judge shopping. They're court shopping. Yeah, there it is. The Babylon Bay Trump leaves presidency to become even more powerful district court judge. It's brilliant. It's totally brilliant. Yeah, do that. Because it turns out being President of the United States, that ain't crap. That's nothing that's small potatoes. That's dog catcher. You want real power in this country, become a district judge and then you just get your whims, just get to become the law of the land at any given moment. That's nuts. That's nuts. And it's long past time for the Supreme Court to step in and slap this down. And it's long past time for Congress to strip away this stupid power because Congress has the ability and they should do it. They should totally do it. So that's not the end of this, though. We've got lots of federal judges who are acting crazy. We have another one. An Obama appointed federal judge just interfered with President Trump's efforts to rein in sanctuary cities. President Trump signed an executive order that declared he would cut off funding to sanctuary cities. This is how the President's been doing these executive orders, of course, which is withhold federal funding from jurisdictions that don't actually play by the rules. Makes a lot of sense. Why should you benefit from the people's money if you're not doing the people's business? No, no more federal funding for you. And an Obama appointed judge called William Oreck has just jumped in the way of the president's sanctuary policies. I don't know what it was about yesterday. I think the left plotted this to be, you know, lunatic Thursday or something, because we have, I'm telling you, I've got an endless series of these district judges who are acting like lunatics. Yesterday, an Obama appointed judge just blocked President Trump from denying funds to sanctuary cities. Thursday, U.S. district Judge William Oreck. Wait until you find what this guy's done in the past. Appointed to the bench by Obama 2013, he ruled yesterday, Thursday that a pair of executive orders the president signed to crack down on sanctuary cities are unconstitutional. Likely, according to the judge. San Francisco, San Diego and a slate of other liberal enclaves that refused to work with Immigration and Customs Enforcement sued to block the orders from going into effect. You've really got to hate your own people. You've really got to hate your own people to sue Immigration and Customs Enforcement, who's only trying to make your city safe, only trying to protect the sovereignty of your city and of your state and of your country. You've got to hate the people who live there. Here we go again, said Judge Oreck, referring to a previous executive order that President Trump signed in his first term seeking to defund sanctuary cities. That Judge Oreck was the same judge who shot president down at the time. So how would, how does this happen? How does Judge Oric, Mr. Mr. Illegal alien invasion Supporter. How does that same judge end up with these same objections in front of him? This same case in front of him? Two Trump administrations in a row. You think this is organic? You think anything about this is natural? That's judge shopping. That's going out of your way to say, who's the guy who's going to help us execute this agenda by any means necessary, the law be damned. Well, it's Judge Oreck. It's the Obama appointed Judge Oreck. In 2017, President Trump signed an executive order called Enhancing Public safety in the Interior of the United States, which sought to withhold federal funds from sanctuary cities. So then San Francisco raised a challenge. Judge Oreck jumped in, said it was unconstitutional and that the defendants, quote, faced irreparable harm. Absent an injunction. What irreparable harm could the city of San Francisco possibly face from keeping illegals out the left? Don't they really specialize this? They specialize in completely turning logic on its head. How is it that American citizens will be damaged by protecting them from foreign nationals who are breaking our laws? They wouldn't. They would benefit from it. So there's no harm here. The only harm is to the illegal aliens and the cruel people who are profiting off of them right here in the United States, all of whom are breaking laws. So they're doing this judge shopping. Again. Again. And this court shopping. So, judge, or getting involved here. And so are there solutions? Yeah, there's solutions. The Supreme Court can put his big girl panties on and finally jump into this fight and stop this from happening. The other side of this is that the Congress can actually step up and do its job and defang these fed, these federal district judges who should only have say so over their districts, not over the entire country. The United States of America. So now we have to let sanctuary cities run rampant because Judge Orville Redenbacher, or whatever the hell his name is, keeps getting the same case put in front of him. Because the left is doing it on purpose. Please, please. All right, coming up, I've got more judicial news, including the President has been trying to seek proof of citizenship when people register to vote. It's the most common sense thing ever. A federal judge jumping into that fight yesterday. Wait until you see the details of this judge's order. And then Mike Davis is ahead. We're gonna talk about the United States Department of Justice and some big things to come in the weeks and months ahead. Hold tight for that. But first, I gotta thank our sponsors, including my patriot Supply. My Patriot Supply. So good. You know, this is a basic question for you.

Preparewithvince.com all right, it's. This has been. This has been a wild day. So these judges, these judges keep interfering. The left keeps shopping for them. And nowhere is that more theatrically apparent than a Clinton appointed judge yesterday. What? Is that all on Thursday? Everyone did it on Thursday. A Clinton appointed judge yesterday jumping in and blocking President Trump from acquiring proof of citizenship during voter registration. What? Take a look at this. This judge is halting parts of President Trump's overhaul of US Elections, including the proof of citizenship requirement. A judge Thursday, according to the Associated Press, blocking the Trump administration from immediately enacting certain changes to how federal elections are run, including adding a proof of citizenship requirement to the federal voter registration form. Now, again, just to reiterate, it is the law that you have to be a citizen of the United States to vote in American elections. Asking people to prove it is the bare minimum in order to satisfy making that sure that we follow the law in our elections. The decision is a setback for President Trump. Yeah. And America, who has argued that the requirement is needed to restore public confidence in elections. True. It's not an argument. It's obviously true. But the judge allowed other parts of Trump's sweeping executive order on US Elections to go forward for now, including a directive to tighten mail deadlines around the country. Trump's March executive order overhauling How US Elections are run prompted swift lawsuits. You ready for the groups from the League of United Latin American Citizens? This is called lulac. Lulac, for those of you who are unfamiliar, it is a left wing hatchet group. It doesn't represent Latin American citizens. It's not broadly representing Hispanic Americans or anything like it. No, it's. It's a left wing, racially labeled group that just does standard fare, left wing business. The same is true of the League of Women Voters, which is also a part of this. The League of Women Voters Education Fund, just another Democrat front organization. And then forget the front. The Democrat National Committee also sued and they said this was unconstitutional. Now, just think about this. I'm gonna get into the actual order in a moment, but just think about what they're telling you. You're kind of telling on yourself, aren't you? If you are trying to block a citizenship requirement from being on voter registration forms, doesn't that tell you everything about who's voting for Democrats, or at least who they believe are voting for them? Kind of gives the game away, doesn't it? And they're doing it right here in these courts. U.S. district Judge Colleen Kolar Kotali in Washington sided with the ap. Is being dishonest here. Voting rights groups. They're not voting rights groups. They're lefty organizations and Democrats saying that the Constitution gives the power to regulate federal elections to states and Congress, not the President. Yeah, that's true. That is true. The Constitution does convey the power to regulate federal elections to states. And wherever Congress would like to step in, it can. What the President is doing is saying, I'm gonna condition federal funding on whether or not you secure our elections. That's a different thing. He's not regulating federal elections. He's saying, you're just not gonna get federal money to administer those elections unless you actually verify that US Citizens are registering. But these lefty organizations don't want to do that. So what does the ruling say? You. Oh, my goodness. It. I. I can't get over how crazy this is. I'll just. I'll just. Let me pull up my notes here so you can just see it directly from me. This. This is. This is what I've got. So the ruling here, as I. As I write my notes today, is a doozy. Democrats insist that their base won't be able to vote if they have to prove their citizenship. If they have to prove their citizenship, they won't be able to vote. What? The Democrat Party plaintiffs collectively represent millions of eligible voters throughout the United States, some of whom say they're gonna be unable to register to vote, or they'd be dissuaded from registering. They'd be dissuaded from registering if they needed to prove their citizensh. Well, that's, that's it. That's, that's the whole. Somebody says, that's the effing point. Yeah, Texas plays. That's exactly right. That's the effing point. If you're dissuaded to vote because you don't want to prove that you're a citizen, you're not a citizen, you're not a citizen of the country. The judge also said that proof of citizenship would hurt lefty organizations in particular because they would have to update their websites. What, what does that mean? The burden that a documentary proof of citizenship requirement would impose on the plaintiffs. Again, the left wing groups would be far more than simply a setback to their abstract social interests. Instead, it would be an impediment to their, quote, core business activities, which are registering eligible voters. This judge says so they say, for example, a proof of citizenship requirement would render obsolete several of the online tools that the plaintiffs have developed and routinely used to help eligible people register to vote. So they would have to update their websites. That's what this means, that helping you register to vote would require you to add the line, you need to bring proof of citizenship when you register. That would be too much harm. We can't do this. So the judge says, okay, fine, no proof of citizenship then. Not right now. I'm gonna block that. Additionally, the judge says that the lefty groups would have a harder time registering randos at the grocery store, random people. That these lefty organizations voter registration drives held at churches, grocery stores and in other public places will be less effective if there is a documentary proof of citizenship requirement, because many people who are eligible to register to vote do not carry their passport or other citizenship documents with them as they go about their daily routines. What does this have to do with anything? Oh, the, the people we see at the supermarket, we can't just register them to vote because they would have to prove their citizens. Another one, and this is great. Democrats in particular would be hurt because their base is far less likely to have proof of citizenship. Once again, who said it in the chat? This is the point. This is the point of that of the entire process. This is why Trump is doing it. Many of the Democratic Party officials, plaintiffs, have organizational standing to challenge this provision based on its effect on their ability to register new voters as members and supporters of the Democrat Party, which they do in service of their mission of electing Democrat candidates. The dnc, the dga, the DSCC, and the DCCC have each shown that the implementation of this section would make it more difficult for them to register voters who are likely to support Democrats, forcing them to divert additional resources toward further voter registration efforts. Well, yes. How many ways can this judge admit out loud that the point of all of this is so that Democrats can get people who are not US citizens to vote for them? Finally, this is the one that had me just tickled to death. And nobody's talking about this component. Let me just focus on this. They say two of the Democratic Party's plaintiffs in particular, Hakeem Jeffries, I call him the dial up Democrat because that guy thinks about as fast as a 56k modem. He's constantly buffering when he's trying to speak between every word in every sentence. He's constantly trying to figure out how he's going to get to the next one. Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer have made clear showings, the judge says, of their standing to challenge this citizenship requirement to vote to register. Jefferies and Schumer each aver that some of their constituents and likely supporters will be unable to register to vote or will be dissuaded from registering if there is a proof of citizenship requirement. Oh, I. Have you ever seen just like a more obvious admission in a court order, Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer, insofar as they have leaders in their party, it's this guy. Yeah, they're not subtle about it at all. They're just saying it outright. Jeffries and Schumer have therefore shown a substantial likelihood of political competitor standing to challenge this, this executive order. And because a party affiliate of an active candidate may also exercise political competitor standing, the Democrat Party plaintiffs affiliated with Jeffries and Schumer throughout the whole country have a substantial likelihood of standing to raise the same challenge. This is the point here, this is the overarching point. Hakeem Jeffries, Chuck Schumer, lulac, the League of Women Voters, the dnc, collectively, for our purposes, left wing election riggers. They view this as an impediment to their ability to rig elections. Therefore, they found a favorable judge who has issued a nationwide injunction and is stopping it, stopping this whole thing in its tracks when what President Trump is doing is precisely what the American people want him to do. Make sure only American citizens are voting in elections. Cuz that's the law. There's no way this could possibly harm you unless you were cheating in the first place. So that's the, that's the update. That's. And I'm not even done with all these federal judges. That's just all the ones I've gotten to so far. In a moment, I'll introduce our great guest, Mike Davis.

- [33:04]
Mike Davis
Thank you for having me.
- [33:05]
Vince
It's always so good to see you. And I was, I played for the audience yesterday some of your remarks on Steve Bannon's War Room with a lot of fascination and a lot of interest, set this up for us again. You went to the Justice Department recently and met with a bunch of the top officials there. What did you learn?
- [33:22]
Mike Davis
Well, I learned that my friends in the Justice Department like Attorney General Pam Bondi and her chief of staff, Chad Meisell, and the deputy attorney general, Todd Blanche and his top deputy, Amel Beauvais, and great people like Gail Slater and Harmeet Dillon and Cash Patel and Dan Bongino. They are Stanley Woodward. President Trump has a rock solid team at the Justice Department and they are doing really good work. And even if we don't see flashy headlines on, on good work, it's definitely happening.
- [34:00]
Vince
So. Yeah, go ahead.
- [34:02]
Mike Davis
No, I was going to say it's, I know people get anxious when you don't see screaming headlines, but I promise that there are good people doing great work.
- [34:11]
Vince
And so, and so I just want to dig in on kind of your, your, your thinking and who you are as you assess this, because you've, you've never been shy about calling out people on your own side, for that matter, who are moving too slowly, who aren't administering justice the way it needs to be done. So in your discerning view, you go into that room and did you, did you come, did you enter with a different interpretation where you kind of, did you bring those same questions in, like, hey, what's happening here? Did you leave, leave with a different point of view?
- [34:38]
Mike Davis
No, because I've been in regular contact with these people since before the inauguration. I know what's going on.
- [34:44]
Vince
Got it.
- [34:46]
Mike Davis
Look, I've, I've worked in the Justice Department several times. I've worked in the White House. I've worked in the House. I've worked in the Senate. I know how government works. I know that you have to get people nominated and confirmed and set up before they can do anything. Right. Otherwise, you have acting people there. And the President Trump has already done big things with his executive orders at the Justice Department. And Pam Bondi and Amo Bove and Todd Blanche and the others have done big things already at the Justice Department. Just, just one example. The Southern District of New York is this island in the justice system where they think that they report to nobody under our Constitution. Federal prosecutors reports of the deputy attorney general who reports to the attorney General, who reports to the President of the United States, who's elected by all Americans. But you have many of these federal prosecutors around the country and federal agents, particularly in the FBI, who don't think they report to anyone. And that has very much changed in the Southern District of New York. They call it the sovereign district of New York because they think that they're, they don't report to anyone. Well, email Bove went in and gave them an attitude adjustment on about date day one. And remember Danielle Sassoon? You heard her name for about three minutes. She made her headlines. No one hears about Danielle Sassoon anymore because she's not working.
- [36:07]
Vince
Yes.
- [36:07]
Mike Davis
Or the Trump administration.
- [36:09]
Vince
So, so when you, when you talk about kind of the action that will be coming when people think action, what they think is prosecutions, they think handcuffs prosecutions. Is that what you're referring to?
- [36:19]
Mike Davis
Possibly. And I would say this, that there has to be systemic changes to the Justice Department, which is happening. They're cutting a lot of people out of the Justice Department. They're firing people, they're reassigning people, they're making the structural changes. So it's. So we're not playing whack a mole going forward, so. Or putting a band aid over a gaping wound. And so they're actually going in and fixing the real systemic problems at Main justice and at the various litigating divisions and also at the FBI. Cash Patel and Dan Po Bongino are doing a hell of a good job.
- [36:52]
Vince
Yeah, so. So you're talking about, you're getting to a key point which is kind of the order of events because, like, so I just, we started the show today with that New Mexico judge who had a trend day Aragua member living in his house. And that's kind of an open and shut case. They found this guy. They knew he was trend. They knew he was living with the judge. There's all sorts of ludicrous evidence from, like how the guy was living with them and holding guns and ridiculousness. And so they rightly, they sell. Okay, the guy Violet violated the law. The Judge and his wife were arrested yesterday. The FBI arrested these guys. And you're like, good. That's the kind of speed you want to see. What you're describing. The internal problems that are inside the Justice Department of the FBI, it sounds like what they have to do first is undertake reforms and then we could see the prosecutions. Is that the kind of the order of events, the sequence?
- [37:35]
Mike Davis
You have to get rid of the deep state actors. If you don't get rid of the deep state actors, everything that they try to do is going to be whack a molecule or a band aid on a gaping wound. You have to get rid of the cancer in the body first. Right? And that's what going. This is chemotherapy, this is radiation, and it's. This is the most. This is more. This is so much more important than any one indictments or any one arrest. When you're making systemic changes, you're shocking the system at the Justice Department, including the FBI, so you can get that deep state beast tamed. Right. You know, you don't see a lot of people running to the press anymore because they're. I think email Bovey, if you just look, he's. He's a friend of mine, but if you just look at the guy, he looks like a political serial killer. So. So I think email has. Has done a very good job of. Of reminding these Justice Department officials that they. The deputy attorney Attorney General who works for the attorney general who works for the president who's elected by all Americans.
- [38:37]
Vince
So let me unfurl one of the things that has raised concern on the right. And I addressed this yesterday. I was talking about Dan Bongino and the efforts that they're undertaking. And I'm very happy with how aggressive the FBI has been on so many crimes. Recruitment is exploding. They're catching the top three, three of the top 10 most wanted. There's a lot of good indicators going on. But one thing that stands out is they promoted a guy called Steve Jensen in the Washington field office who the right is very skeptical of, and for good reason, because he was a part of the crew that was going after parents at school board meetings in January 6th. People. And so most of us on the outside are looking at that guy going, well, he's one of the abusers. How did he end up in a role like this? And I mentioned yesterday that on the very same date we found out that news FBI Deputy Director Bongino posted, hey, if there are things that look like they're counterintuitive to our mission, you just have to trust that what we're doing in the end is the right thing. So basically, that's a long way of me asking you, Mike Davis, you know, what do you make of moves like that and what should we make of them?
- [39:37]
Mike Davis
I'm not familiar with that particular move, but I fully trust Cash Patel and Dan Bongino.
- [39:43]
Vince
Yeah.
- [39:44]
Mike Davis
There is about as far away from Deep State Pocket puppets as you can get. Remember when President Trump picked Cash Patel, everyone said he was dead on arrival. And then the article three projects had about what, 250,000 phone calls into their home state senators and gave these senators an attitude adjustment in about three days. They went from dead on arrival to when can he start? So just look, if give these guys the room they need to get the job done again. They are making systemic changes. Yes, this, this is, this is something that no Republican has done ever. And this is something that should have been done decades ago, right?
- [40:29]
Vince
Yeah. Yeah.
- [40:30]
Mike Davis
Once you get the systems in place, once you build the car or rebuild the car, then you can drive the car.
- [40:36]
Vince
Okay, last one on this. And I want to ask you about judges real fast. And thank you as always for your time, Mike. So you think that this isn't too big for the President's team to handle, that this is not, they're not. It's not too entrenched for them to conquer?
- [40:50]
Mike Davis
No. And if there's any, if there's any team that can do this, it's the team at the Justice Department now. President Trump's team now with Pam and Todd and Chad and Amel.
- [41:00]
Vince
Yeah.
- [41:01]
Mike Davis
And Stan. And you know, so many good people over there, Harmeets, Gail, Omid, there are so many good people in the Justice Department right now. And these are like, these are bold, serious reformers. I know all of them. They're my friends. I'm not, I wouldn't vouch for them if I didn't think that they would do the job. Like you said, Vince, I'm not exactly a quiet person. And frankly, I'm the most harsh with my criticism of people on our side because I have higher expectations for conservatives than I. Marxist. I want Marxists to rot in hell. I want conservatives to succeed.
- [41:39]
Vince
Amen. Okay, judges now. So I've been going down for whatever reason, yesterday was a big day for a bunch of district judges to block President Trump's executive orders all across the country. And these are. You go down the list. They're all Democrat appointed judges, Obama judges, Clinton judges, Biden judges, obviously, including one yesterday, a judge who said that the President cannot make it so that you have to ask for proof of citizenship when registering to vote. The Democrats, the Democrat plaintiffs in the case, including Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries, they say this will damage them. They will damage their ability to be reelected. If you have to prove you're a citizen to register to vote, they're giving the whole game away. What can we do about these judges, Mike? What can we do about these guys who keep interfering?
- [42:22]
Mike Davis
Well, the best thing that you hear about voter ID is, is that somehow it's, it's discrimination against black people. Like black people don't have the wherewithal to get a driver's license or a government ID like the rest of Americans. Like they're, you know, that we just need white liberal liberals to save them. You know, hey, go, go find a black friend, liberals and take them to the driver's license place and then, you know, help them get a driver's license because they don't have the wherewithal to get it, according to these Democrats. I mean, what racist, just bad faith argument they're making. It's clear what they want. They want illegal immigrants that they're mass importing into this country. 15 million of them.
- [42:57]
Vince
Yeah.
- [42:57]
Mike Davis
Want them to register to vote and vote Democrat.
- [42:59]
Vince
Right? Yeah.
- [43:00]
Mike Davis
That's the whole plan. What this is, this is why they oppose voter id. This is why they oppose the SAVE Act. I would say to these judges, these activist judges, stay in your lane. Your job is to decide cases and controversies of the parties before your court with redressible claims. Nothing more, nothing less. You have a really important job. It's a crucial job, but it's a modest job. That's your Article three standing. That's your Article three power. When these judges take off their judicial role robes and they do one of two things. They either put on their capes. They're. They think they're superheroes. These narcissists who get a fly around and save everyone.
- [43:37]
Vince
Yeah.
- [43:37]
Mike Davis
Even some of these Republican justices do this from time to time. Maybe, maybe even my old boss does this from time to time. You know, superhero Neil Gorsuch or General Gorsuch does it from time to time. Not, not as much as the Democrats, but, you know, General Gorsuch does it from time to time, too. I mean, he, he plays a one wonderful superhero. Like last Good Friday, he did that. But I would also say judges wear robes, not capes. And if judges take off their judicial robes and climb into the political arena and throw political punches, expect to receive a political knockout from the article.
- [44:13]
Vince
So here's what I want to know. Why isn't the United States Supreme Court jumping in right away to stop all of these abuses? Because I know earlier this year, Chief Justice Roberts was lecturing President Trump. He was like, hey, don't you dare call for the impe. Impeachment of district judges. Like, let the appeals process play out. And then this past weekend, as you just noted, the Supreme Court jumped the whole appeals process to try and gum up the President's immigration agenda. And so now it's a perfect opportunity. The Supreme Court could step up here, couldn't they, Mike?
- [44:40]
Mike Davis
They could if they wanted to. And this, this is at the doorstep of the Chief Justice John Roberts, or Commanding General John Roberts, as we saw last Friday. Because we had seven, as you just mentioned, Vince, on Friday, we had seven Supreme Court justices who ran in and issue and. And joined the President of the United States. I think for the first time in American history, you can enjoy. You cannot enjoin the President. You can enjoy lower officers. You cannot join the President. They enjoyed the President of the United States and told him that he cannot continue with an ongoing military operation to do. To deport the worst terrorists of the Western Hemisphere. Yeah, apparently, the President's not the Commander in Chief anymore. He has to get permission from these seven generals on the Supreme Court. And they did this before the district court, ruled before the 5th Circuit, ruled before the Solicitor General submitted the government's position on this. I mean, again, these are not judges and robes. These are narcissist superheroes wearing capes.
- [45:41]
Vince
Yeah. And so, but, but the Supreme Court could bring these district judges to heel if it wanted to.
- [45:47]
Mike Davis
Well, I mean, I think they're part of the problem, as we just saw on Good Friday. And so who needs to bring them to heal, who needs to bring the whole federal judiciary to. Here is to heal is Congress.
- [45:56]
Vince
Congress.
- [45:57]
Mike Davis
They need to cut the spending. They need to have oversight hearings. I was the chief counsel for nominations on the Senate Judiciary Committee. I, I had the oversight portfolio for the federal judiciary. Judges don't think they're subject to oversight, so haul their asses in for oversight just to prove that you have that portion power. Congress cut their funding, cut their jurisdiction, make their lives living hell until they get back in their life.
- [46:19]
Vince
You know, I have a crazy idea. Trump should threaten to court pack until they start behaving like just 100%.
- [46:25]
Mike Davis
I actually, I think that's a great idea, Vance. What do we have? Nine now, and we have them who are narcissistic, looney Tunes who think they can, they can join the president. So it sounds like we need six more to that.
- [46:37]
Vince
FDR did it. That was the whole idea.
- [46:39]
Mike Davis
FDR threatened to pack the court, 15 justices. So we'll have eight justices who will follow the Constitution and then seven narcissistic looney tunes who think they're going to go save rapists and murderers and, and, and, and you know, in El Salvador. So they, they can, they can, they can moonlight as the commanding generals and, and you know, the ACLU lawyers to go save MS.13 gang bangers. Maybe those seven get the MS.13 tattoos on their knuckles for solidarity.
- [47:08]
Vince
Yeah, baby.
- [47:09]
Mike Davis
But for the other eight, so that after we pack the court, the eight who are going to follow the Constitution, we can actually get things done.
- [47:15]
Vince
At least we have Thomas and Alito still. I love those guys. Hey, thank you very, very much. Mike Davis with the Article 3 project, sir. Always good to talk to you, man.
- [47:22]
Mike Davis
Thank you very much.
- [47:23]
Vince
All right, be well. That's Mike Davis. Thank you again to him for stopping by. Yeah, the court backing thing, you know, it is true, you know, FDR was not getting what he wanted out of the United States Supreme Court. So he just started threatening to pack the court. And then all of a sudden the court was brought to heel. The court was like, whoa, wait a second, wait a second, we'll comply. We'll do whatever you want. And then they did, they did that going forward. And that is what the left attempted to do under Joe Biden. I'll remind you, that's what all of that court packing stuff was about. They would say, oh, let's contemplate packing the court or we're gonna launch a panel. How can we reform the court? What could we impose on the court? It was constantly meant all the ethics debates, all the nonsense you heard from the left. It was constantly meant to rattle the cage of the Supreme Court until they were giving them favorable decisions. It was meant to work the refs. So I don't know, maybe Trump should do it. Maybe Trump, hey, let's pack the court. He could declare until the court's like, well, wait a second, we'll stop these district judges from acting crazy. No need to pack it. This will be, will be totally constitutional going forward. So we'll see. But yes, that is actually the history of that wild court backing debate. And these, and these judges are, these judges are really crazy. And I've got what I had another federal judge yesterday who just blocked the Trump administration from stopping racism in schools. And Obama appointed judge blocked the Trump administration from banning discriminatory practices in schools yesterday. Yep. Yet another one. Obama appointed Judge Landia McCafferty is getting in the way here. As President Trump said, hey, get rid of this racially prejudiced nonsense dei get rid of the bigotry. No more. It's a violation of the law. It's a violation of the Civil Rights Act. It's unacceptable in our country. And this judge saying no, no, we need to keep it. We need racial bigotry in the schools. So yet another judge interfering in the, the affairs of the president yesterday. So more, more needs to be done here. Clearly more needs to be done here. We've got, we've also got some a warning here on the left's behavior from Victor Davis Hansen that I want to share with you. I think this is really important. Here is a cut 3. Victor Davis Hansen this week on his own program mentioning that the left is, is doing it again. They're whipping their base into a deadly frenzy. Take a look at this.
- [49:59]
Victor Davis Hanson
They are, they are lowering the bar on what's permissible. And we're going to see something like we saw with these two assassination. I don't want to predict it. I hope it never happens. But if they keep this language up and you start to see polls that say 50% of self identified leftists think it's okay to shoot and you see them romanticizing a sassen like Mangione and you see them go fund a alleged murder like Carmelo Anthony and basically I saying that he was a victim. And you see this M13 wife beater who was pulled over for trafficking and let go.
- [50:42]
Vince
Yes.
- [50:43]
Victor Davis Hanson
And was found. Yes, everybody. He was found by a immigration judge to have M13 ties. Even his wife did not deny it. She didn't deny that she was beaten by him either. So that is the people who they are supporting and they all have one thing in common. They all have committed violent acts and they're romanticized. And the reminds me when I was in college, I remember high school, I think it was Rolling Stones, Jan Wiener said that Manson was innocent and they romanticized him for a while. The left really did. So my point is that they are creating a climate of fear and legitimizing violence and something's going to happen.
- [51:32]
Vince
Okay, that's good right there. And this is what you're seeing from Victor Davis Handsome. It's an excellent summary delivered in only the way that he can deliver it. But the left, this is why it matters so much. Every so often it's like, well why are we talking about the way the left is talking and why are we giving that airtime? Because you have to know what they're doing to this country. You have to know. You have to pick this up. They are speaking to weak minded people. They are inflaming them. And those weak minded, inflamed people are committing horrific acts of violence, believing they're doing it in the service of some sort of higher moral good. It's a by any means necessary approach. This is the bottom of calling your political enemies Hitler and constantly saying that there's something existential about them winning an election. It's gonna end the whole country. This is the language that they use on the left of saying that our democracy is under attack. And on the right people equivalent. Well, we're not technically a democracy, we're a constitutional republic. Yes, that's all true. But you understand the language is designed to basically say something good is being taken away and you're never going to get it back. This is the way that they act now. It's lunacy. President Trump, of course, is the opposite of that. President Trump is a guy who seeks to appeal to voters, more so than any other politician apparently of my lifetime. He cares sincerely about what voters actually want. He works very hard to get their votes. He is desperate for their approval in a good way, in a positive, healthy way. He takes no salary to be in the job. All of the crap that's been thrown at him, he has dealt with in legal ways. He's complied with ludicrous court orders. He showed up to court appearances that he should have never had foisted upon him. He goes to New York, he deals with all the crap in Georgia. He deals with all of this from all these special counsels. He keeps on dealing with the system as it is and fighting within the terms of that system, even when his political opponents are being as cruel and tyrannical and as fascistic as you can possibly be. So it's not Trump who's threatening our constitutional republic. It's the left who's abusing all of those powers to crush its opposition and then inflaming their own weak base into acts of violence in order to uphold and advance left wing power. And if not left wing power, just introduce the whole country into chaos. They are agents of chaos. And so remember in the lead up to the Butler assassination attempt, it was the rare person in media who was saying out loud, hey, guys, you see where this is going, right? You see how far the left has driven its base to these lunatic levels. Someone is gonna try and Kill him. You remember that Tucker Carlson was saying that, Dan Bongino was saying that. I was saying that this is going to crazy levels very quickly. And then of course, it happened multiple occasions last year, the President of the United States getting shot last year. And you think the threat has subsided? Definitely not. Definitely not. This is why it is so important that we. First of all, that you can open the minds of your fellow American first. You get to them first. And if they're being coded, programmed here by the left, you've got to figure out a way to help break them free, encourage their skepticism, get them to be critical of the sources that they turn to. That's all you need to do. They don't need to be a Trump voter today. They just need to be skeptical of the people they've been listening to for a while. And so Victor Davis Hansen with a very important warning here. We have a great country, we have such a good country. And I don't know about you, I just don't want anybody to ruin it at all. All right, I finished today with a, with a video that I can make fun of here. Everyone's. Lots of, lots of great conversation as always in the chat. Thank you to the Rumble Chat. I'll leave you with a gift. Here's Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers welcoming the NFL draft to his state yesterday. Look at the ludicrous video that he put up to do it.
- [55:53]
Victor Davis Hanson
Go on, Tony.
- [56:02]
Vince
That's one of the craziest things I've ever seen. That might be, I don't know. It's not the worst. It's up there though. It's one of the worst attempts at throwing a football I've ever seen. Governor Tony Evers on his shore front property throwing a football to himself. This is tragic video editing too, by the way. Look at this. It's unbelievable. Look at the not. There's no spiral on that. That's just a, like a sidearm girl throw. Sorry, ladies, I'm not. There's actually, there's lots of women who could throw that ball a lot better than Tony Evers can. You know, I gotta say, for years I've had this idea and it's a free idea. Anyone can do it. If a left wing protest is going on in your town, I am begging you to execute this vision. And if you do it, we'll play it right here on the show. Take a camera, go to the protest, bring a football and ask the protesters to throw it. That's all you have to do. Just film lefty protesters trying to throw a football and you're gonna have one of the biggest viral hit sensations anyone has ever devised. That's free. I'm just giving that away. Just giving that bad boy away. I hope you have a fantastic weekend. Thank you for following me here. Follow me on social media, wherever you can. Always appreciate the live chat. Rumble.com Vince, you guys are amazing. People love the football throw idea. Go out and do it. I swear I'll play it right here on the show. And in the meantime, have a fantastic weekend. Thanks again for tuning into this.
