"These Activist Judges Are Engaging In Resistance.” Davis On Federal Judges’ Attempts To Stop MAGA Agenda
Dave Brat and Mike Davis discuss the increasing judicial activism and its implications for President Trump’s administration. Davis argues that federal judges are overstepping their authority, particularly in cases involving Trump’s executive powers, such as recalling foreign service officers from USAID and overseeing Treasury payments to curb waste and fraud. He criticizes judges who, instead of interpreting laws, are obstructing Trump’s constitutional duties under Article II.
Brat raises concerns about the broader issue of executive power, questioning why a president can establish agencies like USAID but faces judicial resistance when attempting to dismantle them. Davis insists that Trump has the authority to recall foreign officers and restructure executive agencies, emphasizing that activist judges are sabotaging his administration. He suggests the Trump Justice Department should seek emergency relief from appellate courts and, if necessary, escalate cases to the Supreme Court.
The discussion also touches on political and cultural shifts, including the left’s replacement of religion with ideology. They highlight figures like Tulsi Gabbard and Kash Patel as key voices in conservative circles. Davis calls for drastic measures against judicial overreach, including cutting funding to the judiciary if necessary. The segment ends with endorsements for sponsors and concerns about economic instability.

MITCHELL: "We Have To Get Into A Future Where A Significant Number Of These People Go To Jail”
Mark Mitchell and Dave Brat discussed the shifting political landscape, emphasizing Donald Trump’s rising approval ratings despite media narratives. Mitchell highlighted how even legacy media polls show Trump’s strong support, with a 53% approval rating. He noted that Elon Musk’s favorability rivals Trump’s, and efforts to cut government waste are more popular than major corporations like Disney. The conversation also covered the dire U.S. debt situation, projecting a $60 trillion increase over the next decade.
Mitchell argued that Americans are increasingly disillusioned with establishment politics, seeing government spending and corruption exposed. He suggested that a government shutdown would be welcomed by voters, with polls showing most Americans experience little impact from such events. Bannon linked this shift to a broader cultural and religious revival, stressing the importance of traditional values in governance. They concluded that major structural reforms and accountability measures are necessary to restore public trust and prevent future corruption.
BRAT: "We Have The Same Debt Percentage Level As We Did In WWII”
Dave Brat criticizes Senator Kennedy for giving the Federal Reserve credit for a “soft landing” despite its role in printing $9 trillion and fueling inflation. He argues that the U.S. is artificially sustaining its economy with $2 trillion deficits, burdening future generations. Brat agrees with Steve Bannon that the growing national debt is the biggest issue but adds that economic growth is equally crucial. He highlights that the U.S. debt-to-GDP ratio mirrors World War II levels—without a war to justify it.
Brat points out that federal debt is projected to rise from $36 trillion to $60 trillion over the next decade, while GDP growth stagnates at 2%. Using the Rule of 72, he demonstrates how long it takes for the economy to double at different growth rates, concluding that even 4% growth wouldn’t be enough to eliminate the debt. He emphasizes the need for serious spending cuts, which Congress and the White House have failed to implement.
Brat argues that productivity has steadily declined over 70 years, warning that weak productivity limits future growth. He attributes past economic success to a strong work ethic, faith, and religious values, stressing that America must restore these principles. Finally, he promotes Birch Gold as a hedge against economic instability.

Faddis On Convincing Jordan To Take In Palestinians
In this conversation between Steve Bannon and Sam Faddis, they discuss the arrival of the King of Jordan at the White House and the geopolitical situation in the Middle East, particularly focusing on Gaza. Bannon describes the setting outside the White House, highlighting the significance of the location where dignitaries meet President Trump. They discuss the King of Jordan’s visit in the context of recent geopolitical moves by President Trump, especially his plan to relocate Palestinian refugees from Gaza to Jordan and Egypt.
Sam Faddis, a former CIA officer, provides insights into the complexities of this plan. He notes that while Jordan has been a strong ally to the U.S., there’s considerable reluctance to accept more Palestinians due to past issues with violence and political instability. Faddis mentions Trump’s ultimatum regarding hostages in Gaza, indicating Trump’s strategy of making bold, decisive moves rather than small, incremental changes.
The conversation also touches on the inefficiencies and failures of the CIA, with Faddis criticizing the agency’s current state and its lack of actionable intelligence, especially in light of recent global events like the mishandling of intelligence before the October 7 attacks. Bannon and Faddis discuss the broader implications of U.S. intelligence and policy in the Middle East, including the rise of radical Islamic Jihad over traditional Arab nationalism and the potential threats from Turkey and Qatar.
They also discuss the influence of the CIA within U.S. government structures and the need for significant reform or oversight, possibly by figures like John Ratcliffe, to ensure more accurate and effective intelligence operations. The dialogue ends with an acknowledgment of the complex, historical tensions in the Middle East and a brief mention of social media handles for further engagement. The conversation is framed around real-time events, with the anticipation of the King of Jordan’s arrival to discuss these pressing issues.
