What this episode covers

00:02 Massive, massive, massive victory at the Supreme Court. And most people don't even know about it, mainly because it seems kind of boring. Headlines say Trump wins right to fire FTC commissioner. You're probably thinking, well, I don't really care about the FTC commissioner. Oh, you should. Because that's the smallest version of this story. This is going to begin to change everything. The victories of recent weeks. 00:31 are the ones that are gonna begin to change everything. The ship is very slowly turning around, not just on Biden's term or the disaster of the Obama era, but on decades of power stolen from the American people in the most unconstitutional of ways. So the headline yesterday, and this is the court ruling, it didn't get a lot of attention, but it should have, Trump wins right to fire FTC commissioner. That's the small version of this story, but here's what actually happened. 01:01 Since 1935, Humphrey's executor v. United States decision, there's been a legal wall protecting every supposedly independent federal agency from direct presidential control. 01:18 So anti-trust enforcement, merger reviews, consumer protection, labor relations, security regulation, banking regulation, that wall's gone. 6-3, Chief Justice Roberts writing. And here's what nobody's really saying out loud right now, and maybe they will in the next 24 hours. Democrats who spent the last four years, and really under Obama too, loading up these commissions with commissioners and these branches of government, 01:47 with appointees specifically designed to block Trump's agenda uh and to undermine freedom from inside the executive branch can be fired. Rebecca Kelly Slaughter was one of them. was fired in March 2025. She sued and she lost. What does this mean? Well, the FTC, Federal Trade Commission, is just the first domino. 02:12 That means folks at the NLRB, the SEC, the EEOC, every commission that wields executive power inside these federal bureaucracies now sits inside the same logic the court just applied. Ninety-one years of precedent gone in one opinion. The only carve-out preserved from Trump's wrath is the Federal Reserve. It's explicitly protected, but 02:42 There's separate lawsuit on that that the court will probably end up hearing. Everything else just became Trump's to control. So those independent agencies were never truly independent. And today, SCOTUS made that the law, but it's always been the law. There's no independent agencies. Folks, bureaucrats were ruling from fiefdoms like gods. And they were on an absolute campaign of totalitarian terror. Let me give you an example of what I'm talking about. 03:14 When you have banking regulators, the SEC, launching fake investigations against Mark Zuckerberg, remember when Zuckerberg went on Joe Rogan after he finally felt safe because Trump had won and said, look, I censored true things I knew I did, but I didn't have any choice. They were calling me up every other day with these fake investigations, SEC, all these regulatory agencies. He said, I had to do it, I had to censor you. Do you remember when the banks 03:43 turned over to Joe Biden and the other totalitarians in his administration. Our banking records? If you bought a religious text, a Bible, a gun, ammo. 03:57 If you bought pro-Trump merchandise, your bank account information was more than likely turned over to the Treasury. I'd love to know where it is now, probably on a list. 04:08 Remember all that? How'd they get the banks to do that without a warrant, which is unconstitutional? Well, they controlled the SEC. They controlled the bank regulation, regulatory agencies. They couldn't be fired. How did they get the banks to delete Trump's bank accounts, Barron's bank accounts? He was just a kid, he's Trump's son. Melania's bank accounts, the Trump kids' bank accounts, all these conservative, because... 04:34 The regulators were on a campaign of terror. had become essentially what they w ...
