Trump’s Power Being Blocked by Judges and Weak Republicans? INTV w/ Steve Bannon

Is President Trump being stopped from doing the job he was elected to do? In this hard-hitting interview, Dan Ball and Steve Bannon reveal how activist judges, deep state operatives, and even some weak Republicans in Congress are standing in the way of Trump’s America First agenda. From mass deportations and border security to cutting wasteful spending and imposing tariffs, Trump is exercising his full Article II powers—but the legal and political resistance is fierce. Bannon warns: “To delay is to deny.” This is more than gridlock—it’s a constitutional crisis in real time.

A federal appeals court in Washington, D.C., has temporarily reinstated President Donald Trump’s tariffs.

On Thursday, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit announced that it would grant the Trump administration’s request for an immediate administrative stay “to the extent that the judgments and the permanent injunctions entered by the Court of International Trade in these cases are temporarily stayed.”

The Trump administration had previously told the court that it would be seeking “emergency relief from the Supreme Court if the tariff policy was not put on pause as soon as Friday.”

“The Supreme Court must put an end to this,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Thursday afternoon. “These judges are threatening to undermine the credibility of the United States on the world stage.”

“We are living under a judicial tyranny,” White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller wrote Thursday morning in response to the ruling, escalating his initial claim that “the judicial coup is out of control.”

On Wednesday night, the appeals court said the judgment issued by the Court of International Trade is “temporarily stayed until further notice while this court considers the motion papers.”

Victor Davis Hanson: Harvard, You’re Entitled to Nothing

Sorry, Harvard, but we’re not going to give you billions of taxpayer dollars, no questions asked.   The Trump administration is set to eliminate its remaining government contracts with Harvard University, totally over $100 million, reports the New York Times. This comes off the heels of the administration’s commitment to also prevent the once prestigious university from enrolling foreign student.   The federal government does not have an obligation to blindly give a private university billions of dollars of taxpayer money, just like immigration officials are not forced to automatically give visas to foreign nationals, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words:” “I think the argument from the administration that maybe our right-wing friends are missing is not that the Trump administration doesn't have a right to go in and micromanage. They're just saying, ‘I don't really wanna give Harvard any money. They've got $53 billion. They're private. They're not public institutions. But you know, if they ask us and they want money, then we have to look at why we would give it to them.’   “And it's kind of like Mr. Smith coming from Korea or Mr. Jones coming from Sweden. We look at them and we don't really think they add to the Americans. So, we don't have an invitation.’”

The Truth About South Africa’s Anti-American Agenda

Trade imbalances, foreign aid handouts, expelled ambassadors and hate speech denial. South Africa’s increasingly anti-American posture is what got it into trouble with President Trump. In this episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words,” Hanson unpacks South Africa’s racialist policies and its attempts to leverage U.S. generosity while showing open hostility. “ T his is not the South Africa that we used to know. But it was running on the fumes of Mandelaism. At the United Nations, it’s hostile to the United States. It takes advantage of the free trade agreement to run up a $9 billion surplus….It shows no gratitude. It attacks us.”
