Amanda Head sounds off on Trump verdict, Rep. Gohmert details the weaponization of justice & Congress' ineffective progress

On this episode, show Host Amanda Head sounds off after hearing the guilty verdict on all 34 counts in former President Donald Trump’s New York criminal trial. Head is also joined by former Judge and Republican Texas Congressman Louie Gohmert to talk about the other most pressing issues Americans face today. 

The former Chief Justice of Texas’ 12th Court of Appeals examines the current integrity of our judicial system and its increasing politicization, offering valuable insights into how these trends impact justice and governance. Gohmert goes on to discuss the lack of oversight or checks and balances on our nation’s judges, the controversy of the courts not willing to take up contentious cases due to potential protests, as well as the disciplinary action he would have taken against the lawyer who acted in bad faith by lying to the FISA judge in order to obtain the warrant that allowed the spying on then-candidate Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign. Judge Gohmert also cannot believe the weaponization of justice today, especially as he once advocated for the House Judiciary Committee to bring judges before the Committee on a routine basis. 

The Texas Republican also shares his insights on Congress' ineffectiveness and the critical lack of action that hinders progress. The duo discusses the complexities of securing the U.S.-Mexico border and the profound impact of illegal immigration on Hispanic communities. Rep. Gohmert offers a unique perspective on these issues, drawing from his extensive experience based on his firsthand observations and while serving in Congress. 

Rep. Gohmert also expressed his latest election concern regarding Texas’ recent runoff elections, particularly highlighting Texas Speaker of the House Dade Phelan’s controversial victory. Phelan went on to win his runoff with great thanks to over 1,400 Democrats who crossed party lines to vote for him, aiming to spite House Republicans.
