While Trump’s agenda in his first 100 days has suffered largely at the hands of incompetent GOP leadership in Congress, the permanent, leftist government is doing just fine thanks to bureaucrats and left-wing judges. Judge William Orrick, a district judge and former Barack Obama cash bundler in San Francisco, blocked Trump’s executive order defunding sanctuary cities. This judge was a politically-motivated actor who bought his seat. This is what happens when our federal government becomes so unmoored from our Constitution. It’s very dangerous when judges take it upon themselves to tell the nation what is and isn’t right. One clear remedy to this situation and others like it would be a wholesale reform of the judicial system under Article III of the Constitution, but Congress is not going to take power away from the courts. Also, Mark Meadows, head of the Freedom Caucus, stopped a completely disastrous healthcare bill from being rammed down our throats. Now he has negotiated a healthcare deal that will be more acceptable to most Republicans. Later, Trump deserves an enormous amount of credit when it comes to rolling back regulations. He signed an executive order on Wednesday to remove the Antiquities Act and give land and power back to the states. The Antiquities Act has been used to nationalize enormous amounts of land. Recently, George W. Bush was disastrous with this and Obama nationalized so much land, ocean and water. Finally, Josh Meyer of Politico calls in to talk to discuss his story on the hidden Iran deal giveaway.
