HOT MIC: President Trump Is Fed Up! | Episode 184

26:23Love that. That's totally unprecedented. That's what he's doing for the midterms. That'll be a huge deal. The other is America 250. The president's going to spend the year emphasizing our country's great history and reminding people to tap into the patriotism within their hearts and have an appreciation for their country. That is going to bring people out to the polls as they dwell on how great our country is and why it's worth keeping great. And then third, and very importantly in American politics, Donald Trump's hitting the campaign trail. We just got an update this week from Susie Wiles. Susie Wiles just sat down on a mom's podcast to discuss that Donald Trump is going to be hitting the campaign trail.

27:07And not just a little. He'll be hitting it hard in the midterms. cut five, the chief of staff to the White House, Susie Wiles. Typically, in the midterms, it's not about who's sitting at the White House. It's you localize the election and you keep the federal officials out of it. We're actually going to turn that on its head and put him on the ballot because so many of those low propensity voters are Trump voters. Yes, they are. And we saw a week ago Tuesday what happens when he's not on the ballot and not active so I haven't quite broken it to him yet but he's going to campaign like it's 2024 again oh for all these people that he helps he doesn't help everybody but for those he does he's a difference maker and he's certainly a turnout machine so the midterms will be very important to us he'll work very hard to to keep the keep the majority.

28:01Oh, I love that. I love that so much. Susie Wiles and I are of one mind on this. Apparently, I've never met Susie Wiles. She seems amazing. President Trump really respects her. But this is this is what I've been preaching from this program, which is make it about Trump. Go ahead. Democrats have this weird sort of Trump derangement syndrome is leading that to them to something that's strategically good for the rest of us. They're so obsessed with Donald Trump that They're going to try and make the midterms a litmus test about the president. Perfect. If we focus on the Trump agenda, if we can get all these candidates to run with embracing the Trump agenda, full-throated embraces of the Trump agenda, where you say, yeah, baby, I love a secure border.

28:43Yes, I want to improve the economy. Yes, I want to make things more affordable. Yes, I want housing to be more affordable. Yes, I want to bring down the cost of health care by getting the government out of manipulating that system. You do all those things, baby, the midterms are going to go your way. This is how we win. So yes, get Donald Trump on the campaign trail. Susie Wiles has the right idea. That's super important. But also important leading up to the midterms, and this is where I don't have the most optimism in the world, is not just President Trump. He's doing his part. But every one of these Republicans who are in Congress now, you've got to deliver results.

29:23If you fail to deliver, voters are not going to show up for you. and your party. They're not. The deal that we have as voters, and this is as old as voting itself, is if you deliver for us, we'll deliver for you. You want to stay in power? Demonstrate to us that you are entitled to it. And in order to do that, there are some very obvious things Republicans should be concentrating all of their energy on right now. There's no time to waste. They've already wasted enough. I'll talk about it in just a moment because it involves especially putting handcuffs on the people who've done so much evil to our country.

30:05That's ahead on this edition of Vince. You know, this Christmas, of course, every Christmas you celebrate the life of Christ. You celebrate the birth of our Savior. And look, at Christmas time, it's a great opportunity to not only dwell on the value of life, but to share the gift of life with a mother and her baby, flourishing life. Imagine a young woman who's facing an unplanned pregnancy. She's unsure of what to do. She's searching for hope. That's where pre-born ministries comes in. You know, conservatives for years have, of course, been pro-life. We've been pro-life fighting for the baby. And the left, which is very cruel, pretends as if the right doesn't care about that baby's life flourishing, as if we just care about the baby.

30:51It's just the birth and nothing else. No, we care about at all. I want that baby to be born and I want the mother to be capable of taking care of that baby and helping bring that baby into the world and for them both to flourish. Well, look, this is what pre-born does. Every mother that pre-born serves faces a moment of decision where she sees her baby's ultrasound. It's a huge moment. And in that moment, she's got the opportunity to say yes. Pre-born's mission is to help her find the courage and support to do it. This Christmas for just$28, you can help save a life.

Well, it's possible when you call American financing today. If you're feeling stretched by everyday expenses, groceries, gas, bills piling up, you're not alone.

32:46That's 888-879-6460. American financing.net slash Vince. Our thanks to American financing. OK, so we've got some news that broke yesterday about one of the president's U.S. attorneys in New Jersey, Alina Habba, Alina Habba. And this is a terrible story because the court system, the federal courts have interfered in the president's ability to prosecute, to see people prosecuted to deserve it. So we get this headline yesterday. Alina Habba has resigned as the U.S. attorney and is now taking up a new role, at least for now, at the United States Department of Justice. Habba, the Daily Caller reports, resigned from her role as acting U.S.

33:35attorney for the District of New Jersey Monday. She will now serve as a senior advisor to the attorney general for U.S. attorneys, according to the Department of Justice. The Third Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a lower court ruling finding her appointment unlawful on December 1st. In a statement, Habba said the following. She said, while I was focused on delivering real results, judges in my state took advantage of a flawed blue slip tradition. More on that in a moment. And became weapons for the politicized left. For a moment, for months, rather, these judges stopped conducting trials and entering sentences, leaving violent criminals on the streets.

34:17They joined New Jersey senators who care more about fighting President Trump than the well-being of residents which they serve. Attorney General Pam Bondi wrote that the Third Circuit's ruling made it untenable for HABA to effectively run her office. So here we go again. Now we have yet more left wing judges jumping in to block the president's prosecutors from doing their jobs for rolling them out on technicalities on process rather than tackling these cases on the merits. It just happened with people like James Comey and Letitia James as the judges went after Lindsay Halligan in the Eastern District of Virginia.

35:00And it's going to keep happening so long as President Trump doesn't have fully Senate confirmed U.S. attorneys. And this brings us to the point today. Republicans in the United States Senate are selling us out right now. Republicans in the United States Senate have the power to fix this problem, and they are refusing to do it. Refusing, utterly, obstinately, stubbornly, refusing to come to our aid, to come to our rescue. You and I have spent years discussing the atrocities that have been committed against the American people. And what is it that you and I demand on a routine basis, including today?

35:45What are we demanding? We want arrests. We want prosecutions. We want convictions. We want sentences. We want everybody who was involved in the Trump-Russia collusion hoax to face the music of justice. We want everybody who's been involved in trampling the civil liberties of American citizens, going after parents at school board meetings, going after Catholics for celebrating the traditional Latin mass, going after parents like Mark Houck, going after pro-life activists singing church hymns outside of abortion mills. The way that they absolutely destroyed the lives of January 6th defendants led people to suicide.

36:27We want accountability for this. We want accountability for the people who went after members of Donald Trump's campaign. We want accountability for people who went after Donald Trump himself. And what does accountability look like? It looks like cold, hard justice. That's what we want. Is the FBI on this? Yes, you bet your ass they are. They definitely are. But the FBI, just like every local cop has discovered all across the country with a sortos prosecutor, is only as good as the backup they have from prosecutors. What kind of backup do they have right now in the Justice Department? If you're an FBI agent, how certain can you be that your arrest is going to lead to a meaning an arrest that you make is going to lead to a real prosecution by attorneys at the United States Department of Justice right now?

37:16Not that certain. Not that certain. It's kind of like a beat cop in the middle of the street in a place like Philadelphia taking a dangerous criminal into custody and not being certain that the Soros-funded prosecutor that represents the district is going to do anything to actually keep that guy behind bars. In fact, that guy will be back out on the streets creating a nightmare for everybody else in no time. And what happens to that cop? Well, that cop starts to become disheartened. What's the point? Why am I even subjecting my body to this kind of risk to place these guys under arrest? I've got no backup.

37:49Nobody's supporting me. That's how the system falls apart entirely. And right now, President Trump only has a handful of Senate confirmed U.S. attorneys who've made it through. The only places they've made it through, places where either there are no senators like Washington, D.C., that's where you get Jeanine Pirro, or places where you have two Republican senators. Other than that, anywhere where you find a Democrat senator in our country right now, they're blocking the president. Now, how is this possible? This is possible because of what Alina Haber referred to. It's called the blue slip. The blue slip is exactly what it sounds like.

38:26It's just a piece of paper. It's a blue slip. And Democrats use it as a veto. It is a tradition. Now, bear with me here because it's infuriating. It is merely a tradition, a handshake agreement in the United States Senate that the president of the United States does not get the U.S. attorney or federal judge of his choice inside of any state where a senator who represents that state decides to veto it. So that means in a state like, say, New Jersey, the president doesn't get his U.S. attorney pick if the Democrats veto it. So what are the Democrats going to do? They're going to veto everything.

39:06What is what are we doing here? In a state like California, the president doesn't get a full time Senate confirmed U.S. attorney because Democrats refuse to do anything but veto veto veto veto veto veto. That's it. They're obstructionists. They're terrorists legislatively. They're refusing to do the job the American people voted for. What did you vote for in November? You voted for a chief executive who would appoint U.S. attorneys who actually prosecute criminals. So what is President Trump doing? He's nominating U.S. attorneys and then the Senate is letting those nominations die. And it's Republicans who are letting it happen.

39:44Again, it's a tradition. It's a handshake. It's not a rule in the Senate. There's no official rule that they even have to vote to overturn. And it's definitely not a law. And it is absolutely not in the Constitution. And I would argue it's probably unconstitutional flatly to allow one senator to do that. and yet that's what they're doing. That's what they're doing in the Senate right now. So what can be done about this? What's even possible here? The answer lies in two Republican senators, two. And so if you're going to direct your ire anywhere, if you're going to direct your public comments anywhere, you should direct them to the two following people.

40:22One, the leader of the Republicans in the Senate. John Thune is responsible ultimately for this system of injustice continuing. John Thune. He's the guy. The other guy who's responsible for it is a very elderly Republican United States Senator by the name of Chuck Grassley. Chuck Grassley, who's been there forever. He's great with whistleblowers. He's great with transparency. He's done, I think, some good for the country through the years, for sure. Right now, he's selling us out. He's not doing it. He's not pulling the trigger. He's fighting back against changing the blue slip tradition in the Senate.

41:01Now, why is this? Why is Chuck Grassley fighting against our interests right now? Well, the rationale and even provides it on his own website is he claims that if they blow through the blue slip, the second Republicans are in the minority, Democrats are going to be able to run roughshod over the whole country because Republicans kicked down this barrier that was holding back the radicalism of the left. I'm sorry. That is very naive thinking. As old and as experienced as Chuck Grassley is. That is deeply naive and Pollyannish thinking. You understand what is really going to happen. Democrats are going to do what they have been doing, especially in the era we're all living through now.

41:39They're going to kick down every barrier that's in their way, whether or not you do it now. So if you fail to do it now, you're a sucker. You're a sucker. You're tying up your own hands so that Democrats can have their hands free the second they get power and beat the rest of us to death. How about no? How about we prosecute the bad guys right now? You know how much time we have on the clock? Basically none. We've got we've got we're almost a full year done of the presidency with the second term of President Trump. We got three more to go. And during this time frame, we're running out of the statute of limitations of all sorts of criminal violations.

42:19I don't know what these guys think they're doing or what kind of time they think we can play with here. We need full U.S. attorneys. And these U.S. attorneys can't be there on a temporary basis, on a temporary basis under any circumstance. You know why? Because not only do they have to bring the charges before a grand jury and secure these indictments, they have to be there long enough to see the charges through. You've got to be able to go in court and argue your case and make it to the end so we can get the convictions and the sentences. So in other words, right now, the pressure needs to be on.

42:50The earnest, sincere, America-loving pressure needs to be on people like Chuck Grassley, John Thune, every member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, all of them, to do what's right for the American people. Why the fuck are we still dealing with this? I'm sorry, but why? Why are we still dealing with this? President Trump cannot do this on his own. He is trying, but holy hell, he is frustrated. He is very frustrated. Here he is yesterday caught on a hot microphone, cut to spitting fire in the White House hallway. He was caught on somebody's camera phone. And you can hear him saying, like, everybody I put forward, we can't get through because of the blue slips.

43:38Watch.

43:57And he fades off there. He goes, everybody we're appointing, their time's expiring, and then we're losing. And then it's like, it's just a disaster. He's driving him absolutely crazy. that this is happening right now. And then he also was asked about this yesterday, about the fact that Alina Habba has now resigned her role. She stepped away from even trying to be the U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey yesterday. And here's what President Trump had to say about the blue slips yesterday at the White House. Cut one. Watch. Okay. What else? Yeah. Alina Habba says she's stepping down as U.S.

44:32Attorney for the District of New Jersey after the courts disqualified her. Do you have any comment on The President's not disqualified. You've got a blue slip thing that's horrible. It's a horrible thing. It makes it impossible to appoint a judge or a U.S. attorney, and it's a shame. And the Republicans should be ashamed of themselves that they allow this to go on, because I can't appoint a U.S. attorney that's not a Democrat, because they put a block on it. So, if you appoint in Virginia or in New Jersey or in California a U.S. attorney or a judge, I mean, the judge situation is ridiculous. The only people that you can get by are Democrats, because they will put a hold on it.

45:15If I put up George Washington and Abraham Lincoln to be U.S. Attorney in New Jersey or to be U.S. Attorney in Virginia, we have Democrat senators. They will not approve them. And this is a gentleman's agreement that's lasted for too long.

45:37you can hardly call them gentlemen based on what they're doing to our country, but it is an agreement that these senators have across parties, perfectly content, screwing us over in order to maintain their gentlemen's agreement. And the president's right. I mean, think about Virginia. Virginia is a place where you've got Tim Kaine and Mark Warner, two awful Democrat senators, awful. And the reason why we don't have a U.S. attorney, a fully confirmed U.S. attorney in the Eastern District of Virginia, And the reason, by the way, that James Comey's statute of limitations on lying to Congress almost ran out entirely before Lindsey Halligan was placed there to quickly see that thing through just over the course of a couple of days.

46:18The reason it got that bad was because Mark Warner and Tim Kaine have been blockading the president from getting his way, from getting your way, the way of the American people. That's why the guy who was in the seat was there with the full endorsement of Tim Kaine and Mark Warner. Now, why would they be excited about that U.S. attorney who was there before? Oh, because he wasn't pursuing justice. He wasn't pursuing accountability. He was helping Democrats, including people like James Comey, evade accountability. That's why they want the game to be rigged and Republicans are helping Democrats rig it.

46:56It's so ludicrous. It's unreal. It's also true when it comes to the filibuster. The president can't get his agenda through because Republicans allow the non-speaking filibuster to continue to dominate the United States Senate. That's crazy. That's crazy. If you're going to filibuster something, filibustering means you speak, you argue, you make your case, and you do it for as long as you're capable of. A silent filibuster where nobody talks and legislation dies? Well, that's just corruption. And that's what's happening in the Senate right now. And Republicans are letting it happen. And then another example is they don't actually go into recess.

47:34So during the August recess or any of these other ridiculous recesses, including the holiday recess that's coming up as these guys go home for the holidays, they don't actually go into a real recess. The president has the power of a recess appointment. In other words, if Congress went into an official recess where they said, hey, we're actually off right now. Congress is not in session at all on official terms. Then President Trump would be able to make recess appointments. Presidents throughout history have done that very thing. And he could get these people through without having to worry about Senate confirmation.

48:08And they would be there for a long time. It'd be a huge way for the president to advance his agenda. Republicans are refusing to do it. They're refusing. They leave Congress in what they call a pro forma session where they gavel in every three days and pretend like something is happening when, of course, nothing is happening except they're obstructing the president of the United States. Now, who controls the House and the Senate right now? What party would that be? Those are Republicans. So, look, here's what I'm telling you. Republicans in Congress, and there are some good ones. I'm not saying they're all bad.

48:43But I am saying that right now the leadership in the Republican Party has made an active decision to continue to subvert the president of the United States from fulfilling his agenda. Now, whatever reason behind that there might be, perhaps they're angry that the president is doing too much, that this should be Congress's power. I really respect, you know, Article 1 more than Article 2 or if you want to make a constitutional argument for it. Or maybe it's just pure corruption. Maybe they're just doing this because they want to protect, you know, whatever it is they're getting financially enriched by.

49:17Obviously, I hope we catch them and we can prosecute them if that's the case. Whatever the explanation. Right now, let me just say something to you Republicans in Congress, something you have to understand. The president of the United States has a great hand going into the midterms insofar as he is in control. Securing the border, great news. Cutting government spending, man, they've cut like crazy. Peace deals around the planet, people like that. Bringing investment into the United States, using the terror fight to do that, that's a huge deal. We're talking teens into the trillions, upwards of, what,$15,$16 trillion, a lot of money coming into the United States.

49:55The president is doing what he can. But Congress, you're asleep at the switch. This election, although I want it to be about Trump and his agenda, is right now it's about you. It's the midterms, you idiots. If Republicans want to grow their margins, maybe they don't. Maybe they're perfectly happy just whining and being in the minority. But if you want to grow your margins and actually do something to save your country, well, then you should demonstrate you deserve it now. We shouldn't have these fights going on into November of next year. Let's resolve this right now. Let's resolve it right now.

50:30And so here's my recommendation for the White House. President Trump shouldn't merely be answering questions about how upset he is at members of Congress. He's kind of hinting at how upset he is. He should just promise them, hey, I'm going toe to toe against you until you fix this. I'm going to use the bully pulpit. I'm going to give a national address against my own party, against lawmakers in Congress who are screwing over the American people. Because like, you know, as Hillary Clinton once said, What difference does it make? If Republicans aren't fighting for you, then why should they have power at all?

51:06They should fight for you. And Donald Trump should use the bully pulpit to force them to do it now. President Trump can do that. I want this fight to flare up at this moment and then subside when Republicans are actually doing the job. It's as simple as that. Get these U.S. attorneys through. Get these prosecutors in place. fight to fix American health care. Get the government out of it. Give us voter integrity. Let's actually get voter integrity across the country so that elections aren't rigged. What the hell is wrong with you guys? Now is your opportunity. Use it. And if you are naive enough to believe that getting rid of the silent filibuster or getting rid of the blue slip is merely going to be an open invitation for Democrats to eventually, you know, just barrel past you.

52:00They're going to do it anyway. They're going to do it anyway. So stop sucking and start winning, please. We're begging of you. It's the most obvious thing. And if we can do this, by the way, if you can do this, you know what lies ahead? Massive success in the midterms. I'm not talking small margins. I'm talking historic margins into the midterms. If American voters are watching as we're getting mass deportations, as the economy is improving, as the border is fully secure, which, by the way, it is thanks to President Trump. As arrests are happening, prosecutions are happening and consequences are happening for the people who've hurt our country, voters are going to reward you in record numbers.

52:43It's going to be the biggest midterm turnout we've ever seen for Republicans. That future awaits you, baby. All you have to do is say yes. Say yes to us. So as you go to Chuck Rastley's office, as you go to John Thune's office, as you get in touch with your state's Republican senator, as you reach out to these Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee, tell them, now's your chance. Do the right thing. Time is of the essence. But if you succeed, we will reward you. It's as simple as that. And our country's on the line. That's what it's about. So we're going into the midterms. We've got a lot of good news.

53:23We've got Jasmine Crockett running. Wonderful news. All sorts of crazy Democrats running. Wonderful news. President Trump is going to try and make himself the face of the midterms. He'll be campaigning all around the country. We're going to have a big midterm convention. We'll have America 2025. Now it's up to Congress to do the job that they should have been doing all along. Fulfill the agenda of the American people. that's it anything anything else here that i'm missing on this guys because this this this whole thing is crazy and now the president is left like you know really angry at the white house that this is all happening but the blue slip is crazy the blue the blue slip is so crazy it's enough you know and it was one thing it was years ago they were they were saying like well you know if the president's going to make a pick in a certain state that the The representative of the people of that state should have a say over whether or not that person gets the job and represents the culture and blah, blah, blah.

54:20That's not what we're dealing with. We're dealing with people who've decided to go full-blown hostage crisis. There is no way that Donald Trump is getting his picks. Well, if that's the case, I'm sorry. We can't play by the old rules. You're a complete sucker if you keep doing that. Yes, indeed. But look, this is the left. The left is is is perfectly happy engaging in insurrectionist and unconstitutional conduct. You hear this this conversation yesterday. Ketanji Brown Jackson is a Supreme Court justice, unfortunately. And yesterday there was a case heard on the president's ability to fire various so-called independent agency members.

55:05Now, what is an independent agency? For those of you familiar with the Constitution, what the hell is an independent government agency? We have three branches of government. Your operation has to fall under one of them. It doesn't get to fall under some random unenumerated fourth branch of government. How can you have an independent agency? You either fall under Congress, Article 1, you fall under the president, Article 2, or you fall under the courts, Article 3. So President Trump is trying to fire some of these out-of-control independent agency members. people that he is responsible for appointing, but he's not allowed to fire them?

55:41What is that? Here's Ketanji Brown Jackson yesterday making the deeply unconstitutional case for why we need an uncontrollable fourth branch of government. Cut three. Listen. Congress is saying that expertise matters with respect to aspects of the economy and transportation and the various independent agencies that we have. So having a president come in and fire all the scientists and the doctors and the economists and the PhDs and replacing them with loyalists and people who don't know anything is actually not in the best interest of the citizens of the United States. These issues should not be in presidential control.

56:22So can you speak to me about the danger of allowing in these various areas the president to actually control the transportation board and potentially the Federal Reserve and all these other independent agencies in these particular areas? We would like to have independence. We don't want the president controlling. OK, the American what she's saying is this is there's two things. One, it's deeply unconstitutional what she's referring to, that we need an extra constitutional branch of government hovering over the rest of us. The other thing that she's saying, and perhaps more importantly, is that you should have no say about who works in the government, that the American people should not have a right to send in a president of the United States to change the composition of these so-called independent agencies.

57:15That is a tyrannical nightmare, actually. That's just authoritarian garbage where, oh, no, the government knows better than you do. Like, settle down. Like, you're lucky we let you vote. But we're going to tell you how to live. We're going to tell you what to inject into your body. We're going to tell you what can be in your food. We're going to go on and on and on and wield a lot of power over your life. And you don't get to do anything about it. In fact, not only do you not get to object, you don't get to send in a president of the United States who can fire the people who make that happen. I'm sorry, what?

57:49That's insanity. No, no, no. We actually do have a say. And the founders were really clear about this. And the good news is yesterday, all the headlines seem to indicate that the oral arguments yesterday in the Supreme Court were going in the direction of the Constitution, that the justices do appear prepared to say, well, that's exactly right. In fact, these these so-called independent agencies are acting completely unconstitutionally. The president does have the power to fire these people. That's the good news. So, but there's Ketanji Brown-Jackson. In case you're wondering, you know, how does the left view me as an American citizen, as a serf, as a peon, as a subordinate to their power, and as an inconvenience come election time?

58:35Just remember that as we head into the midterms. We got a big, we got a great country. We're going to have another big show tomorrow. I've got a big national radio show coming up today. I will expound even more on what the hell is going on in our country right now. You can find your local radio listings at thevincshow.com. We're all over the country, baby. You can find us there. Or you can find us on Rumble, rumble.com slash Vince. We have the show done live on video, and we have a great Rumble chat going during the whole radio show. I often dwell upon the many wise, insightful, and hilarious comments that come in during the radio show.

59:10Thank you to all of you who make this the best audience anywhere. I so appreciate you. and just remember we don't have that many days left until Christmas so whatever shopping you need to get done get it done right now I'm mostly talking to myself but I figured I would share that with you too just as a way to tell myself to do it great to see you today I'll talk with you soon
