Congress & Justice System Cannot Take or Minimize Presidential Authority

A judge has been found guilty of felony obstruction of justice — and the implications go far beyond one courtroom.

In this episode of WMXI we break down what this conviction says about judicial overreach, illegal immigration, and the growing tension between the courts, Congress, and the presidency. We discuss why many believe the judiciary has stepped outside its constitutional role, how immigration enforcement has been undermined, and why President Trump argues that executive power must be restored as written in Article II of the Constitution.

Is the justice system enforcing the law — or rewriting it from the bench?
Do we need constitutional amendments, term limits, and real accountability?

This is a must-watch discussion on law, liberty, and the future of American governance.

Gene Valentino, the velvet hammer man.

Yeah, that that’s our man. and he is

with us. Good morning, Jean.

Your velvet hammer is with you. Uh how’s

Michael Pole feeling uh after his uh

little uh respit the other last?

Well, I had to have back surgery. Yeah,

I talked about it this week. My first

day back was Wednesday. I was a week

out. Uh it wasn’t terrible, but you

know, the first two or three days are

pretty rough.

Yeah. Well, glad to have you back.

It’s good to be here. So, there’s a lot

we can talk about that, you know, the

the year has been an unbelievable year

with all of the things that are going on

with the Trump administration,

uh, with the craziness surrounding

trying to get illegal uh, aliens out of

our country. We saw where a judge was

found guilty last night late that we got

the verdict in. Uh, her name was Judge

Dugan, I believe. and the uh the the

grand jury or the jury found her guilty

of obstruction of justice, felony

obstruction of justice. So now she is

not going to be able to be a judge

anymore. This is Is this a message, Gan,

as as we start to get some of these uh

cases into court and find out uh you

know that these people are actually

guilty of of committing crimes here in

the United States against our

government?

I guess there’s a part of me that wishes

justice would move faster, Michael. But

then again, there’s a part of me that is

glad. It’s deliberate. It’s painfully

slow at times. It intends to get it

right. In this case, Judge Dugan

uh should lose her position as judge

because she overstepped her bounds.

She’s a an example of what’s going on in

a broader sense throughout the nation

where the judiciary, the justice system

is interfering with the law enforcement

system and more generally the

administration and legislative branches

of government. We have are experiencing

a overreach. I wish the justice system,

that judge, all the way up to the

Supreme Court would exercise what they

really have authority to do, and that’s

to in um to to to do what’s called a

declaratory rulings or declaratory

judgments.

Instead of trying to rule on an existing

event when it finally happens, try to

set a message from the judiciary’s point

of view of their position on a given

topic. For example, illegal aliens.

To what extent is an American and an

American? Is it by birth or is it by

some process that we agree to put in

place to validate and legitimize

the that person, the person who is uh an

American citizen? You see, we have

overreached in certain areas and

underreached in other areas. It’s clear

to me and I think to you that the

judiciary worldwide, nationwide, has

overreached in many respects and become

agnostant and agnostic and look the

other way in another sense. And um the

judiciary needs to get back on its

duties of judging the law, not writing

the law from the bench. And that’s where

we have overstepped the biggest the

biggest um error on the part of the

judiciary in my opinion in the last five

to seven years in particular is the way

they’ve treated Donald Trump, the way

they’ve adjudicated

illegal immigrants coming in over the

line. The way they’ve deported them

going back to their homeland. the way

they’ve allowed local cities, towns, and

states to um legitimize the uh presence

of an illegal alien to me is judiciary

overreach. Their authority could have

been best spent slapping the hands of

the local and state level justices like

this Dugan and putting them in their

place not to overreach. that accused had

a right to a ca to a a hearing in a

court of law regardless of her prejudice

and that accused never got it because

she escorted them out the back door. You

couldn’t ask for a more egregious misuse

of the judiciary. Uh uh so I think I

think Michael the time is coming where

we’re going to see some major changes in

the judiciary. And I said it to you two

years ago, three years ago, and here we

are in uh December of 2025. I’ll say it

again. We need some constitutional

amendments because whether it’s a judge

or an elected official, legislative or

administrative,

we can’t trust people. We need the

respect and honor of that uh unwielding

document called the constitution to be

firm and absolute in its rendering. That

means that a elected officials who come

and go should not be or judges that come

and go should not be passing judgment or

making it up on the fly as they’ve been

doing the last 5 to 7 to 10 years. We

need to we need to have a constitutional

amendment like the first and second

amendments to our constitution. Quite

absolute, quite clear, no dispute. And

that’s what we need with some of these

issues, including immigration.

Excuse me. You know, presidential power

is something that uh has over the years

they have the Congress, the courts,

you’ve seen a lot of things happen. And

I’m I’m sort of nebulous on this idea,

but but let me just let me just say

this. I believe Donald Trump thinks and

I believe he’s right that the president

is the power of the executive branch of

the government. And anytime you have,

you know, uh, separate agencies that are

supposedly not under the president, but

they do executive functions, all of

these kind of things. I think Donald

Trump is doing something that’s so

important. Even though it’s really

aggravating to sit around and watch, he

is saying that the president of the

United States is the executive branch.

And if you work in the executive branch,

I can hire you. I can fire you. I can do

whatever I want because if I can’t do

that, then the people have no say in

what’s going on in the government. And

that’s what’s happened to our government

over over the last 50 75 years. We’ve

seen our government turn into something

that the president has very little

authority over. The system runs itself.

And you know, nobody nobody has to be

scared to be be fired. So,

well, I wish that was what you just

said, part of social studies class 101

and political science 101. The fact of

the matter is, can some can the teachers

listening start teaching the

constitution again and both at the high

school level and at the college level.

We need to make sure that the students

understand the importance not only of

the constitution, the bill of rights and

the other amendments uh everything

related to our our doc our founding

documents because they speak so clearly

and they answer any ambiguities.

Here’s what I know and you know. We

don’t trust elected officials.

We don’t trust them. They come and go.

They’re not They’re bad actors. And

sometimes because there’s no term

limits, they end up worrying about how

to put me ahead of we. And uh that’s

always been a concern of mine. You’ve

heard me talk about on these shows. We

need a a a sound revisions to the

Constitution that reflect the pain and

suffering we’re feeling. To your point

you mentioned a minute ago, uh, thank

God Donald Trump has taken the helm on

Venezuela. Do you think we’d want this

in whether it’s Jeffrey Epstein issues

or Venezuela? Do you want the um the the

the Congress to be adjudicating and

making rules over these issues? They’d

have themselves in a spin for months and

years. They can’t even get it straight

right now on Obamacare and balancing a

budget. How can we expect them to come

up with an answer on anything? And the

point I’m making is you’re right. Donald

Trump and the third leg of the stool in

our constitution, the the administrative

branch authorize him to take control of

the leadership of this nation. It swings

both ways. If it was four years ago,

we’d have Biden, and I’m not sure we’d

want that kind kind of leadership. But

God willing, the Constitution gives us

the ability to take for the president to

take control and lead this nation when

the legislative branch can’t, when the

judiciary can’t, as evidenced by the

antics and their stupidity in the in the

news headlines these past few days,

weeks, and years.

You know, I’m I’m looking at the

Constitution right now, Article 2,

Section One, and it states very simply

this statement. The executive power

shall be vested in a president of the

United States. That’s it. That’s his

power. That’s what they say the

president is supposed to be. He is the

executive over the executive branch and

he makes decisions about who works for

the executive branch. And that’s why

elections have consequences because he’s

the guy that’s going to be able to

appoint all the people that that uh you

know that run the government. Obviously,

he cannot run the government by himself.

He has to have help to do it. So, he’s

got a cabinet. He’s got people that work

for the different agencies, but the

president has the authority, always has.

and probably always will now because the

the Supreme Court, I believe, is going

to end up saying, “Hey, he’s right. You

you got to you got to respect the

presidency. It says so in the

Constitution.” So, it’s just simple. I

mean, it’s it’s they try to make it

sound complicated,

but the truth is is that the president

should be able to fire anybody. And I’m

talking about the Federal Reserve. I’m

talking about any the the the uh what

the FTC all of these organizations that

they have created that they have taken

the power away from the president. It’s

not constitutional and

that’s an exec. Yeah. Very well stated

Michael. Think of who in whom in

government is trying to take power away

from Trump. Therein lies your Marxist

and socialist.

It’s a delusion of the authority vested

in this document. right here. God

willing, it lasts. We’re approaching the

250th anniversary of this nation. And um

that will be a tearful day uh for me

because I know my Italian grandfather

who could barely speak English could not

be prouder

than he was. and my my wife’s

grandfathers as well could not have been

as proud as they were to stand up and

defend this nation from uh because it

represents liberty and freedom, true

liberty, true freedom. I always I have a

podcast we’ve been promoting. It’s

called the Grassroots TR uh cra

grassroots truthcast podcast. It’s a um

www.

genevalentino.com.

takes you to the grassroots truth cast

and there you’ll see four years plus of

WXI and Gene Valentino doing this every

Friday morning with Ted Tibet. We

couldn’t be happier because we’ve talked

about these issues over the years and

you know what we’ve been consistent

Michael.

Yeah, we have.

We’ve been consistent in our opinion.

We were also right about so many things.

Oh yeah.

Yeah. And I think it’s just incumbent

upon ourselves to carry the torch in the

future and hopefully the listeners will

too carry the torch to all your elected

officials and make sure they honor and

respect this constitution. But remember,

there’s an art of bad behavior. People

knowing how to gerrymander the system.

We need constitutional amendments to

take elected people out of office. term

limits that is and and consequences for

bad behavior from the same elected

people if they don’t balance the budget

uh for all of us.

Merry Christmas, Jean.
