Discussion includes the 5th circuit court of appeals covers Texas, Louisiana and Mississippi and the district courts within the 5th circuit, how things are structured, the responsibilities of each court and how appeals work with circuit courts.

The 5th circuit is one of the most conservative circuit courts in the country. Of the 17 active judges only 2 were appointed by democrats and 6 of them were appointed by Donald Trump. There are 9 senior judges that have a large body of experience that basically work 1/2 time and have not yet retired. The only court that is above the circuit courts is the United States Supreme Court.

Hawk specifically discusses a court within the 5th circuit containing around 20-30 counties in North Texas. Of interest is a case that is pending with the US Supreme Court Securities and Exchange Comission v. Jarkesy which came from an appellate decision that was written in the 5th circuit (link below):

This case has the potential to gut the regulation and enforcement capacities of departments and agencies within the Executive Branch of United States Government. This could create a level of havoc in the United States by rendering parts of the Executive Branch toothless. Republicans love this because they hate regulation and government.

Project 2025

Project 2025 is a plan to reshape the executive branch of the U.S. federal government in the event of a Republican victory in the2024 U.S. presidential election. Established in 2022, the project seeks to recruit tens of thousands of conservatives toWashington, D.C., to replace existing federal civil service workers it characterizes as the "deep state", to further the objectives of the next Republican president. Although participants in the project cannot promote a specific presidential candidate, many have close ties toDonald Trump and theTrump 2024 presidential campaign. The plan would perform a swift takeover of the entire executive branch under a maximalist version of the unitary executive theory— a theory proposing the president of the United States has absolute power over the executive branch upon inauguration.

The development of the plan is led by the Heritage Foundation, an American conservative think tank, in collaboration with some eighty partners including Turning Point USA led by Charlie Kirk; the Conservative Partnership Institute including former Trump chief of staff Mark Meadows as senior partner; the Center for Renewing America led by former Trump-appointee Office of Management and Budget director Russell Vought; and America First Legal led by former Trump senior advisor Stephen Miller.
