On Wednesday, May 14, former US Congressman Matt Gaetz visited Steve Bannon’s War Room studio for a scintillating, twenty minute interview. Gaetz skillfully unloaded on the alarming, unchecked powers of the US federal judiciary, aiming to dictate US foreign policy, and usurp the Trump Administration.
“The one place the elitists have got us cornered out is the judiciary. We have been building our populist movement. We’ve got populist energy in the Congress. We’ve got our few populist Senators – Vance, Hawley, Braun, and Rick Scott. You can get a populist president,” Matt Gaetz told Steve Bannon on Wednesday
“But if you’re a populist, great thinker, it is really hard to become a judge. The system to become a judge requires judicial nominating commissions, and it’s a whole mating dance with the establishment that you have to go through to become a federal judge. It draws you deeper into the establishment to take a judicial position,” Gaetz said.
“If we did all of this – won the swing states, beat DeSantis, trudged through the snow in Iowa and New Hampshire, got Trump through assassination attempts and indictments – all this, to eek out these majorities in the Congress, so that some sniveling, little, you-know-what, in a Massachusetts court room, can dictate to us the terms of US foreign policy, then this has all been for naught.”
“And so, it cannot stand. We are not getting out of this presidency without having to thoroughly reject one of these unconstitutional, nationwide injunctions. We cannot be tolerant of this judicial coup. We cannot have an administration, and a Congress, that sits back and allows the Harvard Law admissions council to be able to run the country,” Gaetz said.
Watch Gaetz’s frankly blistering commentary, here.
Regarding the specific methods by which the Trump administration can outmaneuver this rogue judiciary – for the purpose of making America safe again – Gaetz advised that the Trump administration ignore all judicial rulings preventing deportations of illegal immigrants.
“Deportation flights should resume immediately. Keep the planes flying. This is US foreign policy with enemy combatants – and with the public on our side – on President Trump’s signature issue. If we are not willing to do this in the face of some Woketopian in a black robe, then we did not deserve this victory,” Gaetz said.
“This is Trump’s great superpower: revelation. I think he knows how to pick the fights to reveal the enemies, in the right sequence. But, my humble advice to the administration is: pick it on the Illegal Enemies Act and deportation, because through the resistance to the administration’s actions on that, you will reveal so much to the country about the Globalist invasion, and the judicial coup that is allowing it.”
“This requires fortitude and resilience. This is an activity where our country has to look within and say, ‘We are not going to let these [judges] conduct matters of US policy.’ The only acceptable response from this administration is to ignore these orders. I think, complying with them is constitutional vandalism,” Gaetz said.
Concerning the broader strategy by which MAGA can defend against this rogue judiciary, Gaetz outlined the reasons that alternatives to disregarding judicial rulings remain unfeasible.
“The impeachments [of judges] are justified, but that’s not really a strategy. That’s more of a spasm. And Congress won’t cut the funding to anything. Even if the federal courthouse budget were cut 95 percent, those dedicated Woketopians that want to issue these injunctions will set up a tent in the parking lots and issue them,” Gaetz said.
From the Department of Justice perspective, Gaetz lauded Attorney General Pam Bondi’s job performance, while discussing the efforts of Attorney General Bondi’s colleagues to sabotage her from within the DOJ.
“I think they’re doing a great job over at [the DOJ]. I think most of the people who work there probably wake up everyday trying to make Attorney General Bondi’s job harder. When you look at it through that lens – what she’s done on deportations, and on the law enforcement front – she is a nose-to-the-grindstone law enforcement: go find the perpetrators, and hold them accountable,” Gaetz said.
Finally, Gaetz defended his Congressional movement to unseat former Congressman Kevin McCarthy from his US House Speakership in 2023, while highlighting the broader historical implications of the McCarthy ouster, and offering to serve in the Trump administration, as needed.
“We showed that power systems here don’t win all the time. I don’t know when others in Congress will be called upon to summon that courage to fight the beast, to fight the system in a similar way, but I think [McCarthy] is an important bookmark in history to say, if you really martial a sufficient amount of energy, and if you are tactical about it, you can beat power in this town. And power has to know that, occasionally, to inform decision making.”
“And so, there will come a line change, just like in a hockey game. People in very prominent roles will have their life circumstances change, and there is a whole bastion of people who are ready, willing, and able, to do anything that we are asked,” Gaetz said.
Evidently, Gaetz is a rare, pure MAGA firebrand, invaluable to the movement.
