Chapter 1: What legal boundaries has the president tested since taking office?
The rule of law and efforts from Trump supported by a compliant administration to create workarounds so that the rule of law effectively does not apply to him. Since taking office, the president has tested legal boundaries by deploying troops to American streets, used emergency powers to justify sweeping tariffs, even though no emergency existed.
Greenlit military strikes on alleged drug boats without congressional approval and told the Justice Department who it should target. The latest officials on that list, former Attorney General Merrick Garland and Trump's former FBI Director Chris Wray. In order to achieve these goals, according to The New York Times' Charlie Savage, Trump follows a two-point plan.
Quote, the first is that Trump has told executive branch lawyers that they may not question any legal judgment that he or Attorney General Pam Bondi already decided. The second is that Trump has been declaring that as president, he has determined that the factual and legal scenarios exist that are necessary for him to exercise various extraordinary powers.
The president's campaign of retribution, and he seemingly has found enough officials in the Department of Justice and U.S. attorneys to carry out his bidding. Yes, I consider the presidency today as a presidency of revenge and retaliation for personal offenses against the president.
That is personal offenses, in his view, committed by his political opponents, whom he now calls his enemies from within. But this prosecution. of the former fbi director is part and parcel of the same plan for revenge and retaliation against all of his political enemies and that plan is now underway and we've not even begun to see the the the end of it yet
As you know, the president has accused former presidents of treason and everyone else in the Democratic Party of wrongdoing against America. I guess how planned out was it really? Yeah. I think it's important to look at the four-year interregnum where Trump is not in office and he's at Mar-a-Lago. He's sort of stewing over what he views as, you know, his false claims about the election.
But he has a lot of folks around him, Stephen Miller, Russ Vogt, a number of others, who spend that four-year period determined to have a playbook, a blueprint the next time that will not be stopped if he gets back in by all sorts of... all sorts of forces that stymied them and their mind unfairly in the first term.
And Trump, I would say, had his own ideas for what he wanted to do when he came back in. But he was given so many of these ideas by the policy advisors that are now in the White House. You know, someone told me that when they went down to Mar-a-Lago to see him after the election, they were stunned at how many executive orders, hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of them,
and all sorts of plans they have stacked up ready to go. I mean, I don't think you can overstate the importance of the four-year period where he's out of office and you have all these folks around him who really are eyeing the chance to come back and sort of have their vengeance and do it the way they want to do it this time.

Chapter 2: How does Trump's presidency reflect a campaign of retribution?
They're collecting it because as they head towards 2026, they want to be able to weaponize that data, along with a lot of other information that they've collected for a lot of bad reasons, including to try to make the 2026 elections less free and fair. So what we need to do is we need to be prepared for that fight. We need to stand up tall against it. We need to litigate against it.
But most importantly, we need to know it's happening so that we can explain and contextualize this to our friends and our families, our clients, our customers, our bowling partners and our bridge partners. But tonight, I'm more confident than ever that the friendship between the United States and Japan is strong, as strong as it can be. And it's thriving. It's prosperous.
And it'll soon be, I think, greater than ever before. By figures like Steve Bannon, who, again, mileage varies on how seriously to take his media strategy. But that is sort of infiltrated. actual conversations with real people such as yourself concerns the question of whether Donald Trump will in fact try to be president for a third term. Where are you on that question?
How do you see that threat? Well, that question, whether Donald Trump will attempt to succeed himself in the presidency, is on the minds of virtually every American today, only 10 months in to his second term. There's a reason for that. President's been in office approximately 10 months now. He began talking about a third term two months into that 10 months.
And he and his allies and supporters have continued to talk about it up until yesterday when the president himself spoke to the issue. And Steve Bannon also spoke to the issue during that 10 months. Donald Trump has seized. he has sought and he has actually seized near absolute unchecked power in the united states that is unchecked by either the congress or the supreme court the several states
or the media itself. There's no question at all that as of today, Donald Trump has all the power he would ever need to run for a third term and be seated as the next president, whether or not he actually won that election. This is the primal scream of a dying regime. Pray for our enemies, because we're going medieval on these people.
I got a free shot on all these networks lying about the people. The people have had a belly full of it. I know you don't like hearing that. I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it. It's going to happen. And where do people like that go to share the big lie? Mega media. I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.
Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.

Chapter 3: What strategies did Trump and his advisors prepare during his absence from office?
And Luddick, it was tipped that Luddick was going to be, oh, this can't happen. You know, this is against the Constitution. You heard him right there. That President Trump, because of the implementation...
Of his Article II powers, and this came from, Josh Dawsey had it, the years in the wilderness where the Russ votes, the Stephen Millers, the Dr. Roberts over at Heritage, the Senator DeMintz and Mark Meadows over at CPI, all these, you know, Brooks Rollins' team at America First Policy Institute. All these groups came together to think through what Trump's second term would be after the victory.
The precinct strategy, turning point, all the other grassroots organizations would take care of the politics. But you had public intellectuals in those four years come up with a very detailed plan. That's when we hit the deck plates running. That's why you could flood the zone with real executive orders, ones that will be held up in court. And so... They're overwhelmed by that.
But as President Trump steps into the decision, which is many people, most people can't do, he steps into the decision and drives the action as the protagonist. The progressive left collapses before us. Luddick's sitting there going, hey, if I had to call it today, he could do it. He will do it.

Chapter 4: What does it mean when a president sees the law as a tool rather than a limit?
I thought that war was over by now. I thought we were going to end that war by now. There is too much focus on foreign policy. And this is what I would tell the White House because I wasn't Mr. Popular over the weekend. But it's just true.
You are never going to convince Americans that whatever is going on in Israel or whatever is going on in Eastern Europe is more important than whether or not they can afford eggs at the grocery store. They want you to refocus all of your efforts on the domestic economy. We all understand. We all know politics, and we all understand how much ā The president's role is steeped in foreign policy.
We get that foreign affairs, basically the nation's chief diplomat. But the bottom line here is they elected him for a domestic agenda, Steve. And if they don't hear this message soon, it's not it's going to get even less pretty than it is right now. So what you see on the screen of people aren't looking. Fifty two percent said that he is too focused on foreign affairs.
Only 19 percent say that he's too focused on domestic affairs. I mean, this is overwhelming, guys. And by the way, it's worse with independents. If you just looked at Republicans, it's still in the 40s. If you look at MAGA independents, it's 58%. And that's why his numbers are hurting with independents right now.
They want him to focus on inflation, which, by the way, can we pull up the next graphic? And then this is what... Actually, yeah, I mean, it's a little bit out of order, but you could see this. This is his approval with issues. His overall approval, I'll just spill the beans now, it's still in the mid-40s, which honestly stunned me considering the numbers with the issues.
Look at his numbers with inflation and cost of living. I'm going to say this. I don't like saying it, but I have to because it's true. That's Biden-level bad. The numbers that he's getting on inflation right now is Biden-level bad. The only difference is that Biden's overall approval was drugged down even further. Trump's is not. It's not falling into the 30s.
It's not even falling to 40, which means the American public are giving Donald Trump ā they're giving him a lot of leeway. They're giving him a lot of latitude and a lot of grace for the president, but he's got to refocus soon. Otherwise, these will get worse. Then, by the way, the only issue that he's getting very high marks on is immigration, and that's great.
And it's actually the top ā it's in the top three for most important issues for independents. But it has fallen to number five now because sometimes the way the American voter works, folks, you fix a problem or you start to address a problem, and it falls as far as the level of concern that they have for it. If Trump ā went in and fixed the economy.
The economy would fall too if he made greater gains with economic growth. So that would fall. It's just the nature of how voters are. But it doesn't mean they don't appreciate it. But it's all about inflation, Steve. It's about the cost of living. That's it. That's what they want the vast majority of the White House to spend their time on. The inflation though is under 3%.

Chapter 5: How does Trump's focus on populism resonate with American voters?
Well, you know, I sounded the alarm on Biden's cognitive decline. I've sounded the alarm on Mamdani being, quite frankly, a terrorist sympathizer. And I'm sounding the alarm like others have that China is an existential threat to the United States of America. They see us as their enemy, whereas we're a Starbucks society and that we're always looking at tomorrow.
The Chinese, they look at it in terms of dynasty. So they're planning out 100 years. And that is the stark difference is they have commingled our economies. They've tried to make us overly dependent on them. We saw during COVID with the supply chain disruptions that we were overly dependent on China, if for no other reason.
For diversification of one's portfolio, we need to be less dependent on the China supply chain, whether it's India, whether it's countries in South and Central America. There's plenty of opportunity and plenty of places we can go so that our portfolio or supply chain portfolio is diversified. That makes common sense. So whether it's a natural disaster, whether it's some sort of regional disaster,
We can't be overly dependent on one country. And when we know that literally, so I'm on Homeland Security, I'm on the Cyber Subcommittee, literally we have these intrusions, we have these attacks from China into our critical infrastructure literally on a daily basis. Why are we in bed with these guys? They're trying to undo our economy. They're trying to subvert our government.
Meanwhile, you have some of these corporations that are dependent, wholly dependent on the Chinese government. You were one of the first individuals, I might add, also that warned about the knife to the throat of the heavy rare earths and how it could affect production runs. Congressman, honored to have you on here. By the way, I think voices like yours, you're very prescient.
You're always ahead of these issues. I think we need a voice like you in the Senate. I don't know if that's on the horizon, but let me just toss it out there. Ogles, let me just throw it out there. How could people ā go ahead. Well, I will say that, you know, if Marsha Blackburn were to win the governor's race, it would actually be an appointment to fulfill her term.
So maybe that's in the cards. Who knows? With that being said, you know, we do need, I think, more fighters in the Senate. So whomever might get that, if Marsha, Senator Blackburn were to defeat John Rose or vice versa.
that being said is you know we we need kind of that freedom caucus voice in the senate that really becomes the conscience of the senate and the american people quite frankly uh because right now we we dominate in the house and we're a loud voice but that being said we need more of that and kudos to our fighters in the center of there but reach out to me uh go to my official on twitter x uh uh andy ogles i'm easy to find and but i appreciate all that you do and quite frankly for holding the line you and i take a lot of arrows we get attacked a lot
for saying those things that need to be said. And quite frankly, that's okay. That's why I signed up for this job. That's okay. Congressman Ogles, thank you so much, brother. Appreciate you. Absolutely. Take care. Had Ogles back on Breitbart Radio a decade ago. When he was just a local official in Raisin, holy hell, down there in Tennessee. Barris, give me some more numbers here.

Chapter 6: What are the implications of Trump's unchecked power on future elections?
Um, which, I mean, the reason why we do rank distribution like this is because it gives us a deeper understanding, not just one issue. That's the number one issue that people are voting on, but a much deeper understanding of what issues collectively are circulating in people's minds when they go to, you know, to pull that level, fill in that bubble. Um, and they're all economic issues, Steve.
I mean this is ā the good news is that that study that you cited, I reviewed that the other day actually. Climate change, the environment, all of these woke issues that the Democratic Party chooses to focus on, they're way down at the bottom. But somebody like Mamdani caught fire because he did ā he struck a nerve.
He's talking about the issues that people want to hear right now, and we may not like the solutions from him. But again, at the end of the day ā I think corporate republicanism, corporate democratic, you know, whatever that that those parties are dead. They're gone, though.
They have gone the way of the dodo, you know, and we're either going to end up with left wing populism or we're going to end up with right wing populism. That's it. That's the trajectory this this country is on. What? He puts a veneer of populism on it and talks about affordability, but he's really ā if you look at him, he's really a Marxist, right? Yeah, I agree. He's a Marxist jihadist.
He's the red-green alliance, and that's why he's got ā he's dominating because he's got progressives. And clearly he's got 38 percent right now, and maybe the numbers are going to be wrong on election day, but he's got 38 percent of the Jewish vote. He's got the overwhelming majority of the foreign-born vote.
This is where all these immigration, all the illegal aliens and particularly all the H-1Bs, it's all coming home to roost. You just got to face reality. And in these big cities, it's going to be Mondami's policies. Before we let you bounce, anything else you got, Richard? When is this study coming out?
Because the numbers are shocking and it just shows you what President Trump ā these are his core issues. Just a little more refocus on this. after he finishes stopping the Third World War, will have tremendous benefits. What else do you think is important? Yeah, I was just going to bring up that other study actually, Steve. I mean that's obviously ā there's so much there.
It's another segment. But we did do an oversampling of trans and binary because of the ā I don't want to say talking points. And we wanted to see whether there was validity to some of the claims that you'll hear from people on the right dealing with political violence. And spoiler alert, there is validity to it. We can do that if you want. There's a lot. Hang on. Yeah, yeah. Hang on.
No, no, no. I want to hold you and come back in the next segment. We're also going to talk about these groomer gangs in the United Kingdom. What does it mean for us? Short break. We rejoice when there's no more. Let's take down the CCP. Okay, let's be honest. You never thought it would get this far. Maybe you missed the last IRS deadline or you haven't filed taxes in a while. Let me be clear.
