Please subscribe, give us a thumbs up, ring that bell for critical future updates. Ladies and gentlemen, wow, breaking news. Speaker Johnson threatens to defund the district courts over their latest rulings. It is getting down and dirty now. We're dealing with a full-blown war, and Johnson's going to bat for Trump, it appears. Imagine if they stopped funding these district judges in the courts. It would be an epic move if he can pull it off, but he's about to threaten to do so. Let's listen to him. Pretty ugly. House Speaker Mike Johnson issuing an open threat now, saying that Congress has authority to stop providing funding to federal courts. Listen to what the Speaker said just a little while ago. We do have authority over the federal courts, as you know. We can eliminate an entire district court. We have our funding over the courts and all these other things, but desperate times call for desperate measures, and Congress is going to act, so stay tuned for that. Jay, let's get right to it. This is all centered around the Alien Enemies Act and whether deportations fall under the president's Article 2 powers. So what's the reaction in Congress now to what the speaker just said today? Well, there are Republicans up here on the Hill here who want Johnson, frankly, to go further and support impeaching judges who politically have shown that they, or not politically rather, but legally show that they disagree with the administration. The accusation from the administration is that these judges are acting politically, but these judges and other judges all the way up to the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court have said that these judges are acting within their constitutionally appropriate powers. of passing judgment upon what the executive branch does and either delaying it from going into effect with restraining orders and things of the like. But what Republicans here on Capitol Hill have done is that they want to impeach those judges that they believe are impeding the president's will and action here. Johnson has not supported that publicly. This is as far as he's gone, saying that Congress has the power of the purse. They can control what districts are allocated in, which way the funding and how these district courts are drawn and things of that nature. So this is something the administration wants Johnson to do to try to set up this clash between Congress, the executive branch, and the courts. But he's not going as far as some Republicans, including Elon Musk, by the way, push for, which is this swift impeachment of various judges that this administration views as a problem. Quote, we do have the authority over the federal courts. We can eliminate an entire district court. With that said, desperate times call for desperate measures and Congress is going to act. I don't know if they have the notes, folks, but it would be epic. God bless you and yours. Let's hope that this doesn't spin out of control, but it looks like we're heading in that direction.
