11:00 pm
>> lou: the deep state at war with the trump white house. and a left wing judiciary trying to obstruct president p president at every turn. a federal judge in maryland becomes the second to block the revised vetting order one day after the judge in hawaii is over. >> the law is clear and the need for my executive order is clear. i of was elected to change our broken and dangerous system and thinking government that weakened our country and left
11:01 pm
our people defenseless. >> lou: we talk to josh and barbara and joined by congressman louie geom arer. and also president trump unvooeling a boost in boost in military spending. >> the president will keep the promises he kept on the campaign trail. >> lou: we take up with general jack keane. and the budget committee voting to repeal the health care. but the speaker seemed to change course suggesting he would accept only modest changes to legislation. >> now we will refine it. >> will this be ryan care or
11:02 pm
trump care? >> lou: speaker paul ryan talking to president trump by phone. the phone call comes after brietbart released audio of speaker ryan slamming the president when he was a candidate pack in october. >> i will not defend donald trump not now or in the future. i have concerns and i am doing what is best for you the member and not what is best for me. >> lou: good evening, the deep state is trying to undermine president trump every step of the way and president trump vowing to fight after two left wing judges put hisevised extreme vetting band on hold just hours before it was said to
11:03 pm
take be effect. >> the order are he blocked was a watered down version and we'll fight this terrible ruling and we'll take our case all the way to the supreme court. we are going to win, we are going to keep our citizens safe. and regardless, we are going to keep our citizens safe, believe me and i will not stop fighting for the safety of you and your families, not today and not ever. >> lou: two federal district court judges, one in maryland and one in hawaii ruling against the president'sy revised executive order and both judges based the decision not what is in the executive order but on comments made by candidate donald trump months ago and that is part of the reason their rulings are purely political. joining me now to discuss the
11:04 pm
dangers of the left wing judiciary and the implications of the safety and security of the nation are josh blackman at south texas college of law in houston and adjunct scholar and attorney barbara smutting who served as law clerk to juste samuel alito. we thank y for being here with us. it is amazing to behold. back on february 3rd the washington district judge put the president's original order on hold. now two judges who are outside of the language of the order, no reference to the constitution or the code which justifies the president's and gives him the authority to do exactly as he has order ared. and let me start with you, barbara. what is going on here? >> i think you hit the nail on the head.
11:05 pm
the thing that bothers me out of the opinion in hawaii is the same thing is the 9th circuit. this is not how law is done. judges don't look at twitter feeds. they are supposed to it read the text of the statute or the executive order and the evidence presented by the government and make a decision based on the law. this is what judge gorsuch f. you find yourself agreeing with the outcome of the legal decision you are probably doing it wrong. i hope that is not what is happening, but i fear it is. >> lou: that is precisely what is happening here. josh, your thought? >> it seems that the federal looks at the order same way rachel madow did the tax returns. i tell you one of the judges in
11:06 pm
virginia quoted donald trump on the o'rielly factor that is biassed to muslims. >> lou: let me ask you both. what we are encounter as a lay man. and everyone watch withing you tonight, common sense testimonies us that judges are acting like damn fools. they are pushing their politic and it is outside of the law and if is outside of the constitution of the united states. where is our judiciary? is there not an objective within the judiciary that sayses to these judges, cut it out. this is ridiculous and you are making a mockery of the ju dushl system, barbara? >> the good news is why we have
11:07 pm
appellate courts and appellate courts footwork if you get a decision that is not in line with what the law actually says you can appeal it and take it up to the next level. the rule of law is still safe in america. i agree wuthat the decisions are not right on the law as i read it. >> lou: i am outraged to think that our court system would behave and one judge in hawaii making a fool of sxhimz a mockery of the law, while at the same time forestalling the will of the american people. this is a elected president. only elected officer of our state. >> lou, that is why it is so important that presint trump follows thrugh on the campaign
11:08 pm
promise to fill the empty seats in the federal court and supreme court. the best way to counter these orders is to put judges who will neutrally apply the law. >> lou: i love the metaphor of rachel maddow. it has a weight of truth in it. it was an moment in the law, has it not. >> the federal courts are treating donald trump differently. he was elected. and even if president trump is breaking political norms which he does every day, the court should not violate judicial norms. he is be treated like any other president. the you get a strong sense from
11:09 pm
the trump is not the average president. >> lou: the judges bear scrutiny beyond anything experienced to this point. what do we do now. we have a president that is stiechlied by an out of control district court pairing of judges and we know that the 9th sushgle court of appeals did not uphold the president in the original order. at this point can he look at 212 f and say i have the authority and i have the authority and direct the homeland security to begin implementing what otherwise would have been encap sulted in t executive order, is that possible, barbara? >> it is something that the president the can do.
11:10 pm
and someone who takes a robust view of executive power would encourage that. and that sets up a constitutional crisises in our system. in most eras and times federal courts try to be aware of and in10ingal about the decision making and as we have seen when they are not. it set is -- sets up the problem. it is not the best approach for them. >> lou: these district court judges who are left wing activist judges have gone rogue and telling the american people to go to hell and telling the president of the united states to go to hell despite he has the authority of the constitution and 212 f of the u.s. code to do precisely what they are preventing. josh, the last word?
11:11 pm
>> judges don't exist in vacums, they have the power of the sword or the power of the purse. the validity of their judgments depend on their legitimacy. and when the courts betray the lit jimacy, the are less reliable as a instituti. there is a cost when the judges go out and treat trump differently than they would any other president because of who donald trump is. >> lou: we'll be right back. much more straight ahead. don't miss any of it. stay with us. the trump administration unveiled the america first budget. >> you have america first candidate and america first president. and budget. we'll spend more money to enforce the laws and secure the borders and protect our vets. >> lou: will president trump

11:18 pm
or ryan care or trump care? >> it is not trump care if the president is not fuely supporting it. it is not going to pass. the senate is not enthussed about the bill. the speaker doesn't have the ability to get it through, it may be thu the house. but the rules committee pretty much control. my sense it will be close. the complexitiy is when it gets altered in the senate. several senators said it would not pass in its present form. the president has a lot involved. the bottoming print lays out. >> lou: america first p. >> to a certain extent promise is made and kept. >> lou: epa cutting 31 percent p. and state department.

11:20 pm
we know he will not sign it unless it meets his promises and what he has told the america people. >> he has a great skill as a negotiator. but equally important he has to be a salesman. and when he bleeds in the bill, and to it is to the public's benefit he will sell it aggressively. >> lou: america first. i have to give nick mu vane credit. he introduced the legislation. the first budget and 1.1, 5 trillion. >> he is articulate and a great asset to the business. business in a short order. >> lou: you such an impressive performance. and good performance from you.

11:26 pm
a need to drain the judicial swamp in this country. two federal court judges ruled against president trump's travel ban. a federal judge in hawaii appointed by president obama issued the stay against the president's order yesterday. president trump blasted the flawed legal reasoning last night in nashville. >> president trump: the new order was tailored to the dictates to the 9th circuit in my opinion flawed ruling. an unprecedented judicial overreach. you don't think it was done for political reasons do you? no. this ruling makes us look weak. >> lou: it makes the federal judge derek watton classmate of
11:27 pm
president obama look very weak and politically. maryland judge chang nominated by president obama and mr. obama paid a surprise visit to ho nolulu where judge watson presides. just coincidence i think. and a little tweet not lost on any one of us who were taking notice of where he was on the day his old classmate made a rule nothing his favor. both of the left wing activist judges went rogue. let me repeat this. they went rogue and ignored the law and constitution and ignored the wi of the people and ignored the president of the united states. it is constitution by the way that gives the president the power to suspend immigration and
11:28 pm
it is it a law and it is 212 s of the u.s. code. maryland coach chang might point it down. he pointed to mr. trump's history of public statement and not the order itself. judge watson cited the president's public statements instead of relying on the language of the order. both judges relied on the statements of candidate trump and ignored the law and constitution. and now the trump administration could appeal the hawaii ruling before the notoriously left wing 9th circuit court of appeals and that's the same court that ruled the first vetting order not to hold up as they put it. it was a development that suggest that the activist left
11:29 pm
judges whether on the 9th court circuit of appeals may have finally gone even for the 9th circuit court of appeals. the most overturned court on the nation. five judges voiced their support fo the legality of president trump's original travel ban in a filing, they wrote this. quote. whatever we as individuals may feel about the president or executive order, the president's decision was well within the powers of the presidency. end quote. the deep state activist left wing judges may be confronted with a counter attack in the court. it is long over due. the arrogant court and simply rogue judges who put themselves
11:30 pm
and ideology ahead of the elected legislatures and presidents must be rolled back and the swamp that is our federal judiciary must be drained. a quotation of the evening. president ronald reagan said. the trouble with liberal friends is not that they are ignorant, it is that they know so much that isn't so. we'll be right back, stay with us. left wing federal judges are subverting the trump administration and blocking had hiss extreme vetting order. >> we are going to fight the terrible ruling and take the case as far as it needs to go including all the way up to the supreme court and we are going to win and keep our citizens safe. >> lou: congressman lowie geomer. and ride through the slopes of

thingses we need to cover by the left wing judiciary. and two judges issue stays against the president's executive orderine though it is it lawful in the constitution and u.s. federal code. this is beyond comprehension. your thoughts about it? >> well, as a former judge and chief justice you are supposed to rely on the facts before and you fdz before you. these judges, even on the other order, they were relying on statements that were made previously when what they are supposed to look at is is what the four corners of the document and rule on them. i will be reading it later today. i understood it was over 40 page and it was delivered in two hours. he must have made his mind made
