He didn't mention my name, but many people have called for his impeachment, the impeachment of this judge.
I don't know who the judge is, but he's radical left.
He was Obama appointed.
And he actually said we shouldn't be able to take criminals, killers, murderers, horrible, the worst people, gang members, gang leaders, that we shouldn't be allowed to take them out of our country.
Well, that's a presidential job.
That's not for a local judge to be making that determination.
And I thought it was terrible.
In fact, he said when they were well on their way, there was an order issued, as I understand it, to bring them back or to not let them go or something.
And this is not something that the country would stand for.
These people, they were led in here by an incompetent president who had open borders and anybody throughout the world could come in.
And we were given murderers.
We were given people from mental institutions and prisons.
The judge is essentially saying, excuse me, Mr. President, that there still is a process in place.
You can read between the lines.
It hasn't been a full ruling yet.
I know your Justice Department is appealing this on a couple of different grounds, but this is leading people to wonder whether there are court orders that you will defy because you believe that the judge has no jurisdiction or they're political questions and not justiciable at all.
And what would you say to that?
Are there circumstances where you would defy a court order?
And Deepak, you said that you voted for President Trump.
unidentified
I voted for him because I thought he would do the, you know, he would do it because of immigration that, but that doesn't mean you have to over, you know, you've got to follow the law, even if you want to get rid of immigrant illegal and all that.
We got to, we have a process system, do the process.
We've got to do it properly, not this ridiculous way.
Why do we have a constitution?
We don't need a constitution if we do it like this way.
If we want to run the country, then why do we have laws?
If you go over 65 miles per hour, if you go over, the cop stops you.
And here is Fox News that says this impeachment articles hit judge who ordered Trump to stop Trenda Aragua deportation flights.
It says that a House GOP lawmaker has filed, that's Brandon Gill of Texas, has filed impeachment articles against the federal judge who ordered the Trump administration to stop deportation flights being conducted under the Alien Enemies Act.
It says for the past several weeks, we have seen several rogue activist judges try to impede the president from exercising not only the mandate voters gave him, but his democratic and constitutional authority to keep the American people safe.
This is another example of a rogue judge overstepping his authority.
That was a quote from Brandon Gill, a Republican lawmaker of Texas.
And this is Melissa in Inverness, Florida, Republican.
Good morning, Melissa.
unidentified
Good morning.
My thoughts on the issue is that if you have a judge that may possibly be corrupt and is only following the law to his or her own gain, then yeah, they should be torn, you know, impeached or thrown out because there are parts of the government that are corrupt.
At least we can try and help people get a little more educated.
It seems to me like we've got this presidency that they want to destroy everything that's worked for a long time, whether it's international aid or education.
They want to remove the Department of Education.
They probably need to quadruple it.
But above all this, I'm watching a president that has no understanding of the judiciary.
He has no understanding of how courts work other than he's always on the victim side of everything.
And he's become just a big whiner.
And, you know, he didn't run like this.
And these people, this congressman just said that there was a mandate.
Well, that's a different definition than my understanding of it.
So I'm just hoping that maybe he'll, you know, they'll give him some pills and a little breakfast and have him sit down and stare out the window a bit because I think he's just like in over his head.
He seems to, he reminds me of people I know that used to drink like 10 cups of coffee.
So I don't know.
I just, I'm not too thrilled with him.
I didn't vote for him, but he can't just sit here and start picking off this judge and the other for what their decisions are.
That's their job.
Their job is to say you're out of line.
This isn't working or you're not following the law.
He thinks he's above the law.
He thinks he's a king.
He literally thinks he's a king.
And it's like, you know, I just worry that this country is going to start spinning in some other direction.
They're talking about now, I saw this thing where the Kennedy Center wants to bring in the choir from the prison for the guys who broke into the Capitol, broke the windows, created mayhem, and now they're pardoned.
And it's like, you know, where do you draw the line on this stuff?
They're going to start lionizing these people that were basically thugs.
Every day, the men and women of ICE are going to be in the neighborhoods of this nation arresting criminal, illegal, alien, public safety threats, and national security threats.
Lawrence, you're not going to stop us.
We made a promise to the American people.
The President Trump has made a promise to the American people.
We're going to make this country safe again.
I wake up every morning loving my job because I work for the greatest president in the history of my life, and we're going to make this country safe again.
There, he was the border czar saying that he doesn't think what he doesn't care what the judges think.
We want to know what you think about that.
And this is Carol, a Republican in Massachusetts.
Hi, Carol.
unidentified
And I agree with what the gentleman just said.
And good morning to you and everyone.
President Trump was overwhelmingly voted into office.
And the reason I think he was voted into office, as you already know, is to do something about this immigration situation that was caused by the Bidens.
We now have a number of criminals and illegal aliens in our country.
I agree with what Trump's doing.
And all these judges and Democratic judges and people are trying to stop him from doing what he promised to do and what the American people wanted him to do.
And if you don't agree with what he's doing and think you want these criminals in the country and these illegal aliens in the country and you're paying taxes for them, then I think all these people should be new.
You should take them into your house and they should live in your neighborhood and you should walk the streets and be threatened by them and put out of their apartment.
And maybe all the people who are for all this immigration, you pay the taxes to pay for them.
And we'll divide the country that way.
If you're for it, you pay the taxes.
If you're against it, then don't charge my taxes.
It costs me my money, take my money to pay for people's apartments and cars.
Getting back to this particular situation, you think that this judge should be impeached because of his ruling on immigration?
unidentified
I think the law can be used however they want to use it.
Whenever a problem comes up, one lawyer or another lawyer will find a reason to either enforce it or find something else for a reason not to enforce it.
There's thousands of laws on the book.
The papers are as high as the Empire State Building.
No matter what comes up, and they oppose it, they'll find a law some way to help oppose it.
Here's Senator Richard Blumenthal, a Democrat, who says this on X.
No matter what you think of the result, Trump's defiance of court orders, as his border czar puts it, quote, I don't care what the judges think, is jaw-droppingly dangerous.
No matter your party, you need to see how dark and destructive this direction is for our democracy.
Hopefully, SCOTUS will.
Here's Anthony, a Democrat in Staten Island, New York.
Hi, Anthony.
unidentified
How are you, ma'am?
Listen, you want to start impeaching judges?
Fine.
Let's start with the one that is the most corrupt, Clarence Thomas.
The man is taking trips, taking a lot of things, and Trump loves him.
Every time I call it you, yeah, I don't think Trump's doing the wrong thing there with the judge thing.
But, you know, in my opinion, judges and lawyers and this and that and the other, when I saw O.J. Simpson walk after he admitted what he did driving down on that Bronco with his buddy driving it.
Now, when he walked, because it's the glove didn't fit, you must acquit thing.
That's where I lost the whole judicial system.
I'm 73 years old.
So we do have a lot of problems here.
Now, personally, I have a Haitian girl that lives right next door to me, and she's brought two of her cousins over.
I get along fine with them, but the neighbors are having some problems.
I got to watch what I say to my neighbors now.
In fact, she called me the other day.
She works at Amazon as a big place here, and she just had rotor tough, tough surgery.
She hurt herself at work, and she's almost in tears.
He has all these big grandiose things that he says, but I don't think, I think most, depending on who they're gathering up, but if we have 10 million illegals,
unidentified
and if they're very bad ones that have been doing murder or this or that, I guess you're still, if they're not American citizens, I mean, if you cross the border, what type of, does the law still pertain to them?
I guess it does, probably more so than it does an American.
I think he's overstepping his bounds there, but I've even heard him say that he would never go against the law or whatever, but I guess he is.
So I'd impeach him, you know, see how that sticks.
He said, when you disagree with a judicial decision, you use the appellate review process, not impeaching them.
Impeaching them is for crimes.
What do you think of that?
Do you agree with that?
unidentified
I don't know.
I'd have to think about it and look into it more.
I wasn't aware of what you just said.
I'd have to look into it more.
But how come these far-left judges are the only ones fighting Trump on everything he wants to do to help make this country better and safer for people?
I've been somewhat astounded at listening to these callers who seem to be very ignorant of the law.
Fact of the matter is, no one has said that these immigrants should at least have some part of the judicial process.
All of a sudden, ICE can go round up people and export them.
The major thing that I see in this country is Fox News.
If you would just watch other things and get a background on what's going on for real, you would find out that Trump has had people in the White House that he liked until he didn't like.
He has judges that he liked until he doesn't like them.
He is not a king.
He cannot have everything his way.
And if you stop listening to Fox News and stop trying to act like this man is the victim, we'll be a much better country for it.
And this is what Warren Davidson said on X. As Judge Boesberg attempts to cover his crooked tracks, he is proving the folly of his assault on our Constitution.
I gladly support SWIFT impeachment.
I hope President Trump continues to expose them all.
And here is Reck in Ackworth, Georgia, Republican.
What do you think?
unidentified
Good morning.
Thank you so much for taking my call.
First of all, I'd like to say how disappointed I am.
This is off-subject, and just real quick, how disappointed I am, Chief Stan.
The biggest news story of the year you're not covering is the rescue by SpaceX of the astronauts.
And I think you and I and everybody listening knows why you're not covering it.
I think if you're going to impeach any judges, it should be the Supreme Court judges that Trump appointed because they gave him the thought that he can do absolutely anything he wants to do, and it's okay.
So he's taking that and he's running with this.
So if any judges need to be impeached, it should be those Supreme Court judges that keep going along with him.
Judges are supposed to recuse themselves for that reason, just like Judge Mershon should have recused himself for his daughter's activities that are closely tied to a decision he would be in.
unidentified
So I haven't heard any Republican judges have conflicts of interest like that, where the people of America need to know.
And that's all I need to really say is we need to be fair and equal, plain and simple.
You can't have family relatives making millions of dollars off of your decisions as a judge.
Bomb threat made against sister of Supreme Court Justice Amy Comey Barrett.
It said this happened in Charleston, South Carolina over the weekend, according to local police.
The Charleston Police Department responded to a politically charged email regarding the justice's sister, Amanda Coney Williams, on Monday.
Unnamed writer of the email claimed to have created and placed a pipe bomb inside Williams' mailbox that would detonate if opened, according to a police report.
And this is Renee in Imlay City, Michigan, Independent Line.
I think that we, as Americans, need to just get back to not looking at things through a Republican or Democratic scope, but just kind of vetting each individual event.
And I think we've got a lot of things that we can come together on that are problem and problematic in the world.
And we can all agree that we don't want high crime and we don't want our sons, daughters terrorized and fentanyl and drugs, and all that.
Following the Process00:01:29
unidentified
We could say that we do, but we also have to remember that there's a process that we just cannot deviate from.
And we don't know.
I mean, I'm not definitely a lawyer, so I have no idea really the process that needs to be taken, but we just can agree that following the law and taking the processes that are set in place seriously is kind of what has to happen before we just jump to the solution, you know, that we all want, which is a safer environment for our kids and safer America.
But yeah, that's all I have to say is that, you know, I feel like we'd all get along a little bit better if we kind of just looked at: did we follow the process?
Did we follow what we're supposed to do to reach that common goal?
