- 1:47Speaker 1: Holy cow. Okay, so we've got a big speech from
- 1:50Speaker 1: the president of the United States last night, 9 p.m.
- 1:53Speaker 1: Eastern time, as he stepped— very promptly, by the way. That
- 1:56Speaker 1: was pretty cool. He stepped up right on the dot
- 1:59Speaker 1: and gives a speech on an update on what the
- 2:01Speaker 1: heck is going on in Iran. And the president, he— I
- 2:05Speaker 1: would say if there was a tone to the speech,
- 2:07Speaker 1: it was one of relief. It was that, hey— look,
- 2:10Speaker 1: I finally did this, 47 years of this nonsense. I
- 2:12Speaker 1: decided to finally pull the trigger. And the reason for
- 2:15Speaker 1: that was because the threat was very, very imminent and
- 2:19Speaker 1: we needed to take these guys out. So we did.
- 2:22Speaker 1: And now over the next two to three weeks, we're
- 2:24Speaker 1: gonna wrap this thing up, the president announced last night
- 2:27Speaker 1: with the most resolve I've heard him use throughout this
- 2:30Speaker 1: entire saga. In fact, I'm gonna take you through some
- 2:33Speaker 1: of the clips right now and just give you a
- 2:34Speaker 1: sense of what the president had to say last night
- 2:38Speaker 1: Here is the president just saying that his first preference
- 2:41Speaker 1: in all of this was always diplomacy. This is what
- 2:44Speaker 1: he wanted to do. He said, I just I wanted
- 2:46Speaker 1: diplomacy here. And but we didn't we weren't able to
- 2:50Speaker 1: do that. So we we just decided to blow him up.
- 2:55Speaker 2: My first preference was always the path of diplomacy. Yet
- 2:59Speaker 2: the regime continued their relentless quest for nuclear weapons and
- 3:03Speaker 2: rejected every attempt at an agreement. For this reason, in June,
- 3:08Speaker 2: I ordered a strike on Iran's key nuclear facilities, an
- 3:12Speaker 2: Operation Midnight Hammer. Nobody's ever seen anything like it. Those
- 3:18Speaker 2: beautiful B-2 bombers performed magnificently. We totally obliterated those nuclear sites.
- 3:25Speaker 2: The regime then sought to rebuild their nuclear program at
- 3:29Speaker 2: a totally different location, making clear they had no intention
- 3:33Speaker 2: of abandoning.
- 3:33Speaker 3: Their pursuit of nuclear weapons.
- 3:37Speaker 2: They were also rapidly building a vast stockpile of conventional
- 3:41Speaker 2: ballistic missiles and would soon have had missiles that could
- 3:45Speaker 2: reach the American homeland, Europe, and virtually any other place
- 3:49Speaker 2: on Earth. Iran's strategy was so obvious. They wanted to
- 3:54Speaker 2: produce as many missiles as possible, and they did, with
- 3:58Speaker 2: the longest range possible and They had some weapons that
- 4:02Speaker 2: nobody believed they had.
- 4:04Speaker 3: We just learned that out. We took them out.
- 4:06Speaker 2: We took them all out so that no one would
- 4:08Speaker 2: really dare stop them. And they're raised for a nuclear bomb,
- 4:12Speaker 2: a nuclear weapon, a nuclear weapon like nobody's ever seen before.
- 4:17Speaker 1: All right. So there's the president of the United States
- 4:18Speaker 1: explaining some of where we were in this conflict. And that's,
- 4:23Speaker 1: I think, one of the most important recitations of the
- 4:26Speaker 1: facts yet. And Marco Rubio said something similar in the
- 4:28Speaker 1: last 48 hours. where he said that, look, these guys
- 4:32Speaker 1: in their pursuit of a nuclear weapon, what they had
- 4:34Speaker 1: decided to do, they had shifted strategy. They decided that
- 4:37Speaker 1: they were going to build a massive conventional force of missiles.
- 4:42Speaker 1: They wanted to blanket that entire region with missiles in
- 4:47Speaker 1: such a way that nobody could really get in there
- 4:49Speaker 1: without a massive, massive war breaking out. So the buildup
- 4:53Speaker 1: of conventional arms had become really immense. And as Secretary
- 4:57Speaker 1: of State Marco Rubio said, again, now 48 hours ago,
- 5:01Speaker 1: that basically if we allowed this to continue by this
- 5:03Speaker 1: time next year, this would be an utter nightmare to
- 5:07Speaker 1: try to resolve. So the window was closing. So that's
- 5:10Speaker 1: why they decided to go after this. It's not merely
- 5:13Speaker 1: the stage of where the nuclear program is. It was
- 5:15Speaker 1: the stage of where the conventional armaments were as a
- 5:19Speaker 1: means to build up the nuclear program that we had
- 5:22Speaker 1: destroyed again. And so this is where the Trump administration
- 5:26Speaker 1: acted very swiftly to try and stop all of this. Now,
- 5:30Speaker 1: he said the strategy was obvious. We learned that they
- 5:32Speaker 1: had missiles that nobody thought that they had, and they
- 5:36Speaker 1: certainly did. Remember, they tried to fire a couple at
- 5:38Speaker 1: a U.S. military base in the Indian Ocean. They were
- 5:41Speaker 1: firing just very, very far away, far beyond what the
- 5:44Speaker 1: Iranians claimed they even could do. The president said, you know,
- 5:48Speaker 1: everybody's learned now that they definitely had these capabilities. And
- 5:52Speaker 1: then he went on last night and he said, you know,
- 5:54Speaker 1: we've beaten and decimated these guys. We've beaten and decimated
- 5:58Speaker 1: completely Iran. Take a listen. Here's the president last night
- 6:02Speaker 1: with an update on just how devastating the American military
- 6:06Speaker 1: has been here to these fellows.
- 6:08Speaker 3: Watch. Future. We don't need it. We haven't needed it
- 6:12Speaker 3: and we don't need it.
- 6:14Speaker 2: We've beaten and completely decimated Iran.
- 6:19Speaker 3: They are decimated.
- 6:20Speaker 2: Both militarily and economically and every other way. And the
- 6:25Speaker 2: countries of the world that do receive oil through the
- 6:28Speaker 2: Hormone Strait must take care of that passage. They must
- 6:32Speaker 2: cherish it. They must grab it and cherish it. They
- 6:35Speaker 2: can do it easily. We will be helpful, but they
- 6:39Speaker 2: should take the lead in protecting the oil that they
- 6:42Speaker 2: so desperately depend on. So to those countries that can't
- 6:46Speaker 2: get fuel, many of which refused.
- 6:48Speaker 3: Involved in the decapitation of Iran. We had to do
- 6:52Speaker 3: it ourselves. I have a suggestion. Number one, buy oil
- 6:56Speaker 3: from the United States of America. We have plenty. We
- 6:58Speaker 3: have so much. And number two, build up some delayed courage.
- 7:03Speaker 2: Should have done it before. Should have done it with us,
- 7:05Speaker 2: as we asked. Go to the straight and just take it.
- 7:09Speaker 3: Protect it.
- 7:10Speaker 2: Use it for yourselves. Iran has been essentially decimated. The
- 7:15Speaker 2: hard part is done, so it should be easy.
- 7:19Speaker 1: All right, so this is a big moment. The president
- 7:23Speaker 1: is laying out that we have destroyed so many of
- 7:27Speaker 1: the military capabilities of Iran, so many. Now, is it
- 7:30Speaker 1: possible for them to continue to be a problem in
- 7:32Speaker 1: the Strait of Hormuz?
- 7:33Speaker 3: Of course.
- 7:34Speaker 1: But who has the biggest interest in seeing the Strait open?
- 7:38Speaker 1: It's actually not the United States. Clearly, we have an
- 7:40Speaker 1: interest just because of the global oil supply, but not
- 7:43Speaker 1: at the levels that so many countries in the region have.
- 7:47Speaker 1: Not at the levels that China has, not at the
- 7:49Speaker 1: levels that any of the European countries have. So they
- 7:53Speaker 1: need the Strait of Hormuz open. And the president is
- 7:55Speaker 1: calling on them to finally man up and do something
- 7:58Speaker 1: about it. He's like, look, I took care of the
- 8:00Speaker 1: principal threat. Most of their military capabilities are destroyed. Whatever's left,
- 8:06Speaker 1: you need to go in. and you need to make
- 8:08Speaker 1: sure that the Strait of Hormuz is open. We'll help you,
- 8:10Speaker 1: but fundamentally, this is your task. This is the president saying,
- 8:14Speaker 1: the United States is not going to police everything all
- 8:17Speaker 1: the time. You've got to clean up these messes that
- 8:20Speaker 1: affect you and your people directly. So here's the president
- 8:24Speaker 1: asking them to grow a pair and get in there
- 8:25Speaker 1: and actually fight for what they need for their people.
- 8:28Speaker 1: And he keeps asking for that, and I don't think
- 8:30Speaker 1: that's going to abate. But that's an important component to this,
- 8:34Speaker 1: and it's a clear sign that he's looking to extract
- 8:37Speaker 1: the lion's share of the U.S. presence from the straight,
- 8:40Speaker 1: from the region, over the course of the next two
- 8:42Speaker 1: to three weeks. He laid that out last night. He
- 8:46Speaker 1: said he is negotiating with the Iranians. He said that
- 8:49Speaker 1: with whoever the new people are that they're dealing with.
- 8:54Speaker 1: And here he is last night describing that very shortly,
- 8:58Speaker 1: we're going to hit them very hard over the next
- 8:59Speaker 1: two to three weeks, he says, but we are negotiating
- 9:02Speaker 1: with them at the very same time. Take a listen.
- 9:05Speaker 2: Complete all of America's military objectives shortly, very shortly. We're
- 9:10Speaker 2: going to hit them extremely hard over the next two
- 9:13Speaker 2: to three weeks. We're going to bring them back to
- 9:17Speaker 2: the Stone Ages, where they belong. In the meantime, discussions
- 9:21Speaker 2: are ongoing. Regime change was not our goal. We never
- 9:25Speaker 2: said regime change, but regime change.
- 9:28Speaker 3: Has occurred because of all of their original leaders' death.
- 9:34Speaker 3: They're all dead.
- 9:35Speaker 2: The new group is less radical and much more reasonable.
- 9:39Speaker 2: Yet if during this period of time no deal is made,
- 9:42Speaker 2: we have eyes on key targets.
- 9:45Speaker 3: All right.
- 9:46Speaker 1: The president is really going with carrot and stick here.
- 9:50Speaker 1: You know, the carrot is you want a great relationship
- 9:53Speaker 1: with the United States. You want a flourishing situation for
- 9:56Speaker 1: your people. You want to get out of this, you know,
- 9:58Speaker 1: very successfully. That's opportunity awaits. Just say yes. Just say yes.
- 10:03Speaker 1: If you say yes, if you stop menacing the Strait
- 10:06Speaker 1: of Hormuz, if you play ball with us, you hand
- 10:08Speaker 1: over nuclear material, then we'll stop blowing you up. You
- 10:12Speaker 1: want a ceasefire? That's how you get a ceasefire. That's
- 10:14Speaker 1: all you have to do. But if you don't, we'll
- 10:18Speaker 1: keep destroying things. until you're brought to your knees and
- 10:21Speaker 1: you comply. So you pick one, the easy way or
- 10:23Speaker 1: the hard way. Which one is it going to be, Iran?
- 10:25Speaker 1: And now you've got, and he said, regime change was
- 10:28Speaker 1: not our goal. We were not out there to try
- 10:29Speaker 1: and change the regime. We were out there to stop
- 10:32Speaker 1: the threat. But the regime effectively has changed because we've
- 10:36Speaker 1: killed everybody at the top. There's a bunch of new
- 10:39Speaker 1: people coming up. And those new people, if you're ready
- 10:42Speaker 1: to work with us, we're ready to work with you.
- 10:44Speaker 1: And if you're not, maybe you meet the fate of
- 10:45Speaker 1: the old team. So these are your options. Choose wisely.
- 10:49Speaker 1: president again last night. And then finally, he had a
- 10:53Speaker 1: message for the American people and people who are concerned
- 10:56Speaker 1: about this conflict and where it goes next. He said,
- 10:59Speaker 1: I just need everybody to keep everything in perspective. He
- 11:01Speaker 1: used the word perspective last night, which was, I thought,
- 11:05Speaker 1: pretty useful. Listen to him explaining that in terms of
- 11:11Speaker 1: the length of this conflict, it's way shorter than some
- 11:16Speaker 1: of the quagmires that the United States has ever been
- 11:19Speaker 1: involved in in the past. Here's the president of the
- 11:22Speaker 1: United States explaining. Watch.
- 11:24Speaker 3: It's very important.
- 11:25Speaker 1: And by the way, not all of these are quagmires.
- 11:27Speaker 1: Some of these are just conventional wars that we had
- 11:29Speaker 1: to fight.
- 11:29Speaker 2: To keep this conflict in perspective, American involvement in World
- 11:35Speaker 2: War I lasted one year, seven months, and five days.
- 11:40Speaker 2: World War II lasted for three years, eight months, and
- 11:44Speaker 2: 25 days. The Korean War lasted for three years, one month,
- 11:49Speaker 2: and two days. The Vietnam War lasted for 19 years,
- 11:54Speaker 2: five months, and 29 days. Iraq went on for eight years,
- 11:59Speaker 2: eight months, and 28 days. We are in this military operation,
- 12:04Speaker 2: so powerful, so brilliant, against one of the most powerful
- 12:08Speaker 2: countries for 32 days. And the country has been eviscerated
- 12:15Speaker 2: and essentially is really no longer a threat.
- 12:21Speaker 1: So this goes to a point that I've been making
- 12:24Speaker 1: a lot, which is you've got to keep your perspective.
- 12:28Speaker 1: You've got to keep your perspective about the Trump era.
- 12:30Speaker 1: You've got to remember just how many victories we've had.
- 12:34Speaker 1: You know, I did on the radio show yesterday, I
- 12:36Speaker 1: was kind of talking about this at length, but just
- 12:38Speaker 1: how secure is our border right now? It's the most
- 12:41Speaker 1: secure it's ever been in American history. The most secure
- 12:44Speaker 1: it's ever been in American history right now. What's the
- 12:47Speaker 1: state of illegals in our country? We've deported 3 million
- 12:50Speaker 1: of them. 3 million are gone. What's the state of
- 12:53Speaker 1: fentanyl in the country? Over half of the fentanyl, over
- 12:57Speaker 1: 50% of the fentanyl flows have dropped off. What's the
- 12:59Speaker 1: state of homicides in the country? We're at the lowest
- 13:02Speaker 1: murder rate in recorded history. These are all signs that
- 13:09Speaker 1: there's been massive successes in the Trump administration, and each
- 13:12Speaker 1: one of those things alone would be a justification for
- 13:15Speaker 1: for why President Trump deserves a massive double down on
- 13:19Speaker 1: his agenda going into the midterms. He's got a great
- 13:22Speaker 1: case to make. Great case. And as I talk about
- 13:25Speaker 1: this point of maintaining perspective, not to get mopey and
- 13:27Speaker 1: not to be like, oh, how come everything's horrible? The
- 13:30Speaker 1: guy just explained, he goes, look, think about all these
- 13:33Speaker 1: incredible conflicts in American history and how many years many
- 13:37Speaker 1: of them dragged on. I'm resolving the Iran problem So
- 13:41Speaker 1: far in 28 days, because I'm asking for two to
- 13:44Speaker 1: three more weeks. That's what he's asking from the American people.
- 13:47Speaker 1: Is that so much to ask? And I don't think
- 13:49Speaker 1: the answer to that is anything, but no, it's not
- 13:52Speaker 1: too much to ask. It's not too much to ask.
- 13:55Speaker 1: I want him to resolve this well. You know, regardless
- 13:58Speaker 1: of your feelings, I remember there was some early reporting
- 14:00Speaker 1: that maybe J.D. Vance or somebody was concerned about whether
- 14:03Speaker 1: or not we go in, but the report was that
- 14:06Speaker 1: his perspective was if we do, You got to hit
- 14:09Speaker 1: them hard and you got to win. That's how you
- 14:11Speaker 1: got to handle this. OK, so whatever your initial feelings
- 14:14Speaker 1: were about the president choosing to go into Iran, we're
- 14:17Speaker 1: there now. So now the goal is make sure you
- 14:20Speaker 1: hit them hard enough and make sure you win.
- 14:23Speaker 4: Right.
- 14:24Speaker 1: Capisce? I think that makes sense. I think that makes
- 14:27Speaker 1: a lot of sense. the president, with a big update
- 14:29Speaker 1: last night. So thank you for that, Mr. President. By
- 14:33Speaker 1: the way, the media got that completely wrong. The press
- 14:36Speaker 1: yesterday had so many reports that were completely wrong about
- 14:40Speaker 1: what the president was going to say. He was going
- 14:42Speaker 1: to spend all of his time attacking NATO allies and
- 14:45Speaker 1: all this other stuff. None of that happened. None of
- 14:47Speaker 1: that happened. He just gave us as you might imagine,
- 14:50Speaker 1: as he's wont to do, an update because he thinks
- 14:53Speaker 1: the American people deserve one. This is the ongoing conversation
- 14:56Speaker 1: that the president's always having with us. So that occurred
- 15:00Speaker 1: last night. Additionally, last night, the president posting to Truth
- 15:04Speaker 1: Social that a deal has been struck with the United
- 15:08Speaker 1: States Congress to get funding for ICE and Border Patrol,
- 15:13Speaker 1: or at least a deal that he's okay with. He
- 15:16Speaker 1: announced a two-phase plan to fund DHS last night And
- 15:20Speaker 1: so here's the update on this story. In some sense,
- 15:24Speaker 1: it's annoying, but it's clearly a sign that the president
- 15:26Speaker 1: is done with the games. He doesn't want to play
- 15:28Speaker 1: anymore on this one. Here's what he said. He said,
- 15:32Speaker 1: Republicans fully support our great men and women of law enforcement.
- 15:36Speaker 1: Maybe the word should be love. America thanks each and
- 15:40Speaker 1: every one of our wonderful police, Border Patrol, ICE, and
- 15:42Speaker 1: others for their work to protect our cities, towns, streets,
- 15:45Speaker 1: and indeed our country itself. Unlike Republicans, Democrats want us
- 15:49Speaker 1: to defund the police, Border Patrol, and all immigration enforcement.
- 15:54Speaker 1: They want to allow criminals, the mentally insane lunatics from
- 15:57Speaker 1: all over the world to come into our country totally
- 15:59Speaker 1: unvented and unchecked, putting Americans in serious danger. And so,
- 16:03Speaker 1: you guys, this is why we're going to go forward
- 16:04Speaker 1: with incredible funding, rather, our incredible ICE agents and Border
- 16:07Speaker 1: Patrol through a process that doesn't need the radical left
- 16:11Speaker 1: Democrat votes. And that bill, he says, will be on
- 16:14Speaker 1: his desk no later than June 1st. Okay, so what
- 16:18Speaker 1: he means, just to be crystal clear, is he's asking
- 16:21Speaker 1: the United States Senate to use reconciliation, the United States Congress,
- 16:25Speaker 1: to use the reconciliation process to fund ICE and Border Patrol. Now,
- 16:31Speaker 1: you may be thinking to yourself, Vince, I thought ICE
- 16:33Speaker 1: was already funded. I thought they had the money from
- 16:35Speaker 1: the big, beautiful bill. The answer to that is, yes,
- 16:38Speaker 1: they do. The people who aren't being funded right now
- 16:41Speaker 1: are the administrative employees at ICE and Border Patrol. This
- 16:46Speaker 1: would be the civilian workforce at ICE and Border Patrol.
- 16:50Speaker 1: The support staff, the guys who keep turning the lights
- 16:54Speaker 1: on and off, the ones who operate all the administrative side,
- 16:57Speaker 1: All of those people not getting paid right now. And
- 17:00Speaker 1: they're probably not going to be paid based on this
- 17:03Speaker 1: timetable until midway through the year. Now, that's a disaster.
- 17:07Speaker 1: It's a huge disaster. And it's caused by the Democrats
- 17:09Speaker 1: who want to protect illegal aliens at the expense of
- 17:12Speaker 1: American citizens in our country. But the president's saying, this
- 17:15Speaker 1: is the only way I can get this done right now.
- 17:17Speaker 1: So we're going for it. So he's going for reconciliation
- 17:20Speaker 1: to get that funding through. Now, what about the rest
- 17:22Speaker 1: of it? What about the TSA funding and the Coast
- 17:24Speaker 1: Guard funding and everything else with DHS? Well, that brings
- 17:28Speaker 1: us to what the Congress is going to do, which
- 17:30Speaker 1: is already this morning, as we're speaking, the United States Senate,
- 17:35Speaker 1: once again, by voice vote, cleared through that same legislation
- 17:41Speaker 1: they sent through last week, which is basically, we'll fund
- 17:43Speaker 1: everything else. We'll fund everything else except for the administrative
- 17:46Speaker 1: employees at ICE and Border Patrol. We'll do that right now.
- 17:49Speaker 1: In the Senate this morning, John Thune appeared for that
- 17:51Speaker 1: stupid pro forma session in the Senate. He very quickly...
- 17:56Speaker 1: just asked for unanimous consent to pass that legislation again,
- 18:00Speaker 1: and it went through. No objection. Now it's up to
- 18:03Speaker 1: the House. Now Speaker Johnson says they're going to pass it.
- 18:06Speaker 1: So you've got President Trump saying pass it, and then
- 18:09Speaker 1: Speaker Johnson saying we're going to pass it. Now, Speaker
- 18:12Speaker 1: Johnson has been furious about this. He didn't want to
- 18:14Speaker 1: pass the Senate bill in the first place, according to
- 18:16Speaker 1: his own words on the subject. But he and John
- 18:19Speaker 1: Thune put out a statement last night saying, We appreciate
- 18:22Speaker 1: the president's determination to once and for all bring an
- 18:25Speaker 1: end to the Democrat shutdown. In the coming days, Republicans
- 18:28Speaker 1: in both the Senate and the House will be following
- 18:31Speaker 1: through on the president's directive by fully funding the Department
- 18:34Speaker 1: of Homeland Security on two parallel tracks, through appropriations and
- 18:38Speaker 1: through the reconciliation process. So, in summary... This goes back
- 18:44Speaker 1: to that Senate bill. The president was able to force
- 18:48Speaker 1: the Democrats to the table by giving TSA funding on
- 18:52Speaker 1: an emergency basis. So Democrats cried uncle and allowed a
- 18:57Speaker 1: massive Senate funding bill to go through. But it wasn't everything.
- 19:01Speaker 1: It wasn't everything. It was limited. And that's why the
- 19:05Speaker 1: House was so upset about this. And now the president said,
- 19:09Speaker 1: you know what? I'm just going to let all of
- 19:10Speaker 1: this funding go through by any means necessary. Let's get
- 19:13Speaker 1: it through. Upside, there are no restrictions on ICE. There
- 19:17Speaker 1: are no restrictions on ICE. There's no forcing them to
- 19:20Speaker 1: reveal their identities to the insane left. There's none of
- 19:23Speaker 1: this like, you know, oh, we need these judicial warrants
- 19:28Speaker 1: to freeze up the immigration system. None of that crap.
- 19:33Speaker 1: So the president's position to the Democrats is like, up yours.
- 19:36Speaker 1: We're not giving you anything you want. We're going to
- 19:37Speaker 1: fund all of this on our own, which they are.
- 19:40Speaker 1: But of course, it hasn't stopped Chuck Schumer. from celebrating overnight.
- 19:43Speaker 1: Chuck Schumer is gloating over the fact that they're passing
- 19:46Speaker 1: it in this way. He says in order to, you know,
- 19:49Speaker 1: of course, because everything everything's always like, how can I
- 19:51Speaker 1: turn this into a way to attack Trump? He says
- 19:56Speaker 1: House Republicans caved. They agreed to pass the Senate bill
- 19:59Speaker 1: to fund DHS except for ICE and CBP. unanimously passed
- 20:02Speaker 1: a week ago.
- 20:03Speaker 3: Okay.
- 20:04Speaker 1: But again, without any restrictions that Democrats were demanding, designed
- 20:08Speaker 1: to imperil ICE agents, and designed to make our country
- 20:11Speaker 1: less safe. You get none of that. So up yours,
- 20:14Speaker 1: Chuck Schumer. You get none of that. All right, more
- 20:17Speaker 1: in a moment. I want to talk to you about
- 20:18Speaker 1: that big Supreme Court case yesterday, because the, uh, The
- 20:23Speaker 1: Supreme Court had oral arguments yesterday about what it means
- 20:26Speaker 1: to be an American citizen. Does the 14th Amendment really
- 20:30Speaker 1: confer on every illegal alien who invades our country and
- 20:34Speaker 1: has a child? Does it confer American citizenship on that child?
- 20:38Speaker 1: Give that family privileges in our country after having invaded it?
- 20:42Speaker 1: Is that really what it's for? We've got the details
- 20:45Speaker 1: on that all coming up on this edition of events.
- 20:47Speaker 1: I want to thank one of our great sponsors who
- 20:49Speaker 1: keep our show powered up. And that sponsor today is Quince,

- 22:26Speaker 4: So.
- 22:27Speaker 1: Supreme Court oral arguments yesterday were a maddening experience. Chat,
- 22:31Speaker 1: did anybody listen to this? Did you guys listen to
- 22:34Speaker 1: the oral arguments yesterday? As I told you, you know,
- 22:38Speaker 1: if just the tercest possible summary, the 14th Amendment was
- 22:43Speaker 1: passed to protect the former slaves of the United States,
- 22:47Speaker 1: people who were held in bondage. It was passed to say,
- 22:50Speaker 1: you're an American citizen by virtue of your birth here.
- 22:53Speaker 1: Your children are American citizens by virtue of their birth here.
- 22:56Speaker 1: You're American citizens. It was meant to protect previously enslaved
- 23:01Speaker 1: black Americans. That's it. but the left has distorted this
- 23:05Speaker 1: beyond recognition. And now if some rich Chinese communist comes
- 23:09Speaker 1: to the country, has a baby, and then instantly brings
- 23:12Speaker 1: that baby back to China, that baby's an American citizen?
- 23:14Speaker 1: How does that make sense? How does that make sense
- 23:17Speaker 1: at all? How does it make sense that any illegal
- 23:19Speaker 1: alien across the planet can break their way into our country,
- 23:22Speaker 1: have a child, and now they have an American citizen
- 23:24Speaker 1: and access to welfare? How does that make sense?
- 23:27Speaker 3: It doesn't.
- 23:28Speaker 1: It doesn't. Yet in the United States Supreme Court yesterday,
- 23:31Speaker 1: It was a very frustrating experience to listen to these Supremes,
- 23:36Speaker 1: the justices, talk about this. And I want to start
- 23:38Speaker 1: with the Chief Justice, John Roberts. Listen to him yesterday.
- 23:41Speaker 1: He seemed very confused about why illegals should be excluded
- 23:45Speaker 1: from American citizenship.
- 23:46Speaker 3: Listen.
- 23:47Speaker 4: Well, starting with that theory, you obviously put a lot
- 23:51Speaker 4: of weight on subject to the jurisdiction thereof. But the
- 23:54Speaker 4: examples you give to support that strike me as very quirky.
- 23:58Speaker 4: You know, children of ambassadors children of enemies during a
- 24:03Speaker 4: hostile invasion, children on warships, and then you expand it
- 24:07Speaker 4: to the whole class of illegal aliens are here in
- 24:12Speaker 4: the country. I'm not quite sure how you can get
- 24:15Speaker 4: to that big group from such tiny and sort of
- 24:18Speaker 4: idiosyncratic examples.
- 24:20Speaker 5: There are those sort of narrow exceptions for ambassador of
- 24:23Speaker 5: foreign public ships. Tribal Indians is an enormous one that
- 24:26Speaker 5: they were very focused on in the debates as well.
- 24:28Speaker 5: But what I do is I invite the court to
- 24:29Speaker 5: look at the intervening step. which is the enactment of
- 24:32Speaker 5: the Civil Rights Act of 1866. And there they didn't
- 24:35Speaker 5: say subject to the jurisdiction thereof. There it says not
- 24:38Speaker 5: subject to any foreign power. Now, if you go back
- 24:41Speaker 5: to Blackstone in Calvin's case, they say it does not
- 24:44Speaker 5: matter if you are subject to any foreign power. If
- 24:46Speaker 5: you are born in the king's domains, you have this
- 24:48Speaker 5: indefeasible duty of allegiance to the king at any time.
- 24:52Speaker 5: So there's a clear repudiation in the Civil Rights Act.
- 24:55Speaker 5: The Civil Rights Act is this breakwater which makes it very,
- 24:57Speaker 5: very clear That they are not thinking about allegiance in
- 25:00Speaker 5: the terms of like the British common law. They've adopted
- 25:02Speaker 5: the Republican conception of allegiance. So it's from not subject
- 25:06Speaker 5: to any foreign power. And then the debates just a
- 25:08Speaker 5: couple months later make it very clear that they're recodifying
- 25:11Speaker 5: the same conception. They were dissatisfied with the potential ambiguity
- 25:14Speaker 5: in the phrase Indians not tax. And they adopted subject
- 25:17Speaker 5: to the jurisdiction thereof.
- 25:19Speaker 1: Okay, that's good.
- 25:20Speaker 6: Perfect.
- 25:20Speaker 1: Thank you. So let me just take you back to
- 25:23Speaker 1: what John Roberts started with there. He goes, well, wait
- 25:25Speaker 1: a second. You know, they didn't give citizenship to some
- 25:29Speaker 1: narrow categories, he claimed, like the children of foreign diplomats.
- 25:33Speaker 1: If a foreign ambassador comes to the United States and
- 25:35Speaker 1: has a baby here, they weren't entitled to that child
- 25:38Speaker 1: becoming an American citizen. But those are very narrow exceptions,
- 25:41Speaker 1: he said. So what about a large group like illegal aliens?
- 25:44Speaker 1: How could something that applies to a small group of
- 25:46Speaker 1: people apply to a large group of people?
- 25:49Speaker 4: What?
- 25:50Speaker 1: What kind of argument is that? So if enough people
- 25:53Speaker 1: break our laws, they get to do it? Is that
- 25:56Speaker 1: really the argument that you're mounting, John Roberts? And John Sauer,
- 26:02Speaker 1: who is the Solicitor General of the United States, he's
- 26:05Speaker 1: the guy with the scratchy voice you heard just arguing
- 26:08Speaker 1: the case, he points out something super relevant, which is
- 26:12Speaker 1: that Back in the mid-1800s, when this whole debate was
- 26:16Speaker 1: going on between the 14th Amendment and the 1866 Civil
- 26:19Speaker 1: Rights Act, he said this was fundamentally about people who
- 26:25Speaker 1: were subject to foreign powers, who were the subjects of
- 26:28Speaker 1: foreign powers. The 14th Amendment is trying to preclude them
- 26:32Speaker 1: from citizenship. And I just, I mean, it boggles my
- 26:36Speaker 1: mind that John Roberts would sit there and act confused
- 26:39Speaker 1: about this. Why should illegals be excluded? There's just so
- 26:42Speaker 1: many of them. We can't possibly exclude huge numbers of
- 26:45Speaker 1: people from American citizenship. Yes, we should, actually. These are
- 26:50Speaker 1: precisely the people who should not be entitled to American citizenship. Meanwhile,
- 26:54Speaker 1: on the other end of the debate was the American
- 26:57Speaker 1: Civil Liberties Union attorney, the ACLU. Now, it's crazy to
- 27:03Speaker 1: even hear those words said out loud because I thought
- 27:06Speaker 1: you were for American civil liberties. Now you're fighting for illegals? Yeah,
- 27:11Speaker 1: that's why they call themselves the ACLU. Listen to the
- 27:14Speaker 1: ACLU attorney yesterday saying, just because you have foreign military obligations,
- 27:20Speaker 1: just because you owe your allegiance to Iran, doesn't mean
- 27:23Speaker 1: you should be stopped from becoming an American citizen.
- 27:25Speaker 3: Watch.
- 27:27Speaker 6: Not subject to any foreign power is pretty straightforward. So
- 27:32Speaker 6: let me give you these examples. A boy is born
- 27:37Speaker 6: here to an Iranian father who has entered the country illegally,
- 27:41Speaker 6: that boy is automatically an Iranian national at birth. And
- 27:45Speaker 6: he has a duty to provide military service to the
- 27:50Speaker 6: Iranian government. Is he not subject to any foreign power?
- 27:55Speaker 7: Not within the meaning of the 1866 Act, Justice Alito.
- 27:59Speaker 7: And that's clear from Wong Kim Ark, and it's clear
- 28:01Speaker 7: from the debates. What the framers meant by the phrase
- 28:04Speaker 7: not subject to any foreign power was referring to the
- 28:07Speaker 7: ambassador exception. If it meant what the government contends, basically
- 28:11Speaker 7: not a subject of any foreign power, that another country
- 28:15Speaker 7: considers you a U.S. citizen, then lawful permanent residence, all
- 28:21Speaker 7: foreign nationals.
- 28:22Speaker 6: The ordinary public meaning of that would certainly encompass.
- 28:28Speaker 3: That boy, would it not?
- 28:30Speaker 7: Justice Alito, if you think that the language of the
- 28:32Speaker 7: 1866 Act was ambiguous, as Wong Kim Ark says... The
- 28:36Speaker 7: shift to the language of the 14th Amendment, which is
- 28:38Speaker 7: the operative text, certainly clears up any ambiguity.
- 28:42Speaker 6: What I said about a boy born to an Iranian
- 28:46Speaker 6: father is true of children born here to parents who
- 28:51Speaker 6: are nationals of other countries. If I'm correct, it's true
- 28:55Speaker 6: to a child who's born here to Russian parents. It's
- 28:59Speaker 6: true to a child who's born here to Mexican parents.
- 29:02Speaker 6: They're automatically immigrants. citizens or nationals of those countries and
- 29:06Speaker 6: have a duty of military service. It sure seems like
- 29:10Speaker 6: that's a that makes them subject to a foreign power.
- 29:15Speaker 1: Yes, it does.
- 29:16Speaker 3: Perfect. That would have meant.
- 29:17Speaker 8: All right.
- 29:17Speaker 1: So basically, the ACLU attorney is trying to say, well,
- 29:19Speaker 1: no big deal. It's no big deal that we have
- 29:21Speaker 1: children born in the United States who have military obligations
- 29:25Speaker 1: to foreign countries. Actually, it's a massive deal. It's a
- 29:29Speaker 1: massive deal. And in no way should you become an
- 29:32Speaker 1: American citizen on that basis. That's preposterous. In fact, to
- 29:36Speaker 1: be really clear, the children of legal immigrants should not
- 29:39Speaker 1: become American citizens in the United States. That wasn't the
- 29:42Speaker 1: subject of the debate yesterday. But just because you're here
- 29:45Speaker 1: on some sort of temporary legal basis doesn't mean you
- 29:48Speaker 1: should be entitled to an American citizen as a child.
- 29:51Speaker 1: That's crazy to me. That's crazy. American citizenship should be
- 29:55Speaker 1: for the children of American citizens. If you want a
- 29:59Speaker 1: child to become an American citizen, then go through the
- 30:01Speaker 1: process of becoming a naturalized American citizen. If you really
- 30:05Speaker 1: want to look after the well-being of this country, then
- 30:09Speaker 1: that's the way you would do it. But yesterday, the
- 30:11Speaker 1: debate revolved pretty simply around whether or not the children
- 30:14Speaker 1: of illegal immigrants can be considered American citizens. And one
- 30:18Speaker 1: of the most frustrating things was how difficult it was
- 30:21Speaker 1: to make the easiest possible case on the planet to
- 30:24Speaker 1: that Supreme Court yesterday. I got one more for you,
- 30:27Speaker 1: and then I want to get to a great guest
- 30:28Speaker 1: on the subject. Katonji Brown Jackson yesterday was a disaster,
- 30:35Speaker 1: as usual. And she suggested yesterday that breaking a nation's
- 30:39Speaker 1: laws is how you establish allegiance. I'm sorry.
- 30:44Speaker 3: What?
- 30:45Speaker 1: Listen to KBJ yesterday. Cut three.
- 30:50Speaker 8: I was thinking about this, and I think there are
- 30:54Speaker 8: various sources that say this. that you can have, you
- 30:57Speaker 8: obviously have permanent allegiance based on being born in whatever
- 31:02Speaker 8: country you're from. That's what everybody recognizes. But you also
- 31:06Speaker 8: have local allegiance when you are on the soil of
- 31:10Speaker 8: this other sovereign. And I was thinking, I, a US citizen,
- 31:16Speaker 8: am visiting Japan, and what it means is that if
- 31:20Speaker 8: I steal someone's wallet in Japan, the Japanese authorities can
- 31:26Speaker 8: arrest me and prosecute me. It's allegiance, meaning can they
- 31:32Speaker 8: control you as a matter of law? I can also
- 31:35Speaker 8: rely on them if my wallet is stolen to, you know,
- 31:39Speaker 8: under Japanese law, go and prosecute the person who has
- 31:43Speaker 8: stolen it. So there's this relationship based on, even though
- 31:46Speaker 8: I'm a temporary traveler, I'm just on vacation in Japan,
- 31:50Speaker 8: I'm still locally owing allegiance in that.
- 31:56Speaker 1: Oh, my God. I can't even I can't even believe
- 31:58Speaker 1: how brain dead this is. So by by stealing a wallet,
- 32:02Speaker 1: she's demonstrating her allegiance to Japan. Yeah, that makes a
- 32:05Speaker 1: lot of sense. That's left wing thinking if I've ever
- 32:07Speaker 1: heard it. Remember the George Floyd riots? All those people
- 32:10Speaker 1: were just demonstrating their allegiance to America when they were
- 32:12Speaker 1: burning down cities and killing people and and doing billions
- 32:16Speaker 1: of dollars in destruction. It was just a gigantic pledge
- 32:19Speaker 1: of allegiance. We just misunderstood it at the time. Those
- 32:22Speaker 1: people actually loved the country. They were saying they were
- 32:25Speaker 1: pledging their allegiance. That's because that's how you do it.
- 32:28Speaker 1: That's exactly right. When you pledge allegiance, the way you
- 32:31Speaker 1: do it is you have to commit a crime. What
- 32:33Speaker 1: is she in a gang? There's a gang initiation to
- 32:36Speaker 1: join a country. That's like the craziest thing I've ever heard.
- 32:40Speaker 1: And it was just in the last 24 hours. Thank you,
- 32:42Speaker 1: Katonji Brown Jackson, not a biologist and shouldn't be a
- 32:46Speaker 1: Supreme Court justice either.
- 32:47Speaker 3: All right.
- 32:47Speaker 1: In a moment, I'm going to talk to a great guest.
- 32:49Speaker 1: Andrew Arthur is with us. I'll get his take. He's
- 32:52Speaker 1: an expert on immigration. We'll get his take on the
- 32:54Speaker 1: Supreme Court oral arguments yesterday and where we go from here.

- 35:08Speaker 1: immigration judge. It's great to see you, Art. Thank you
- 35:12Speaker 1: very much for being here today.
- 35:14Speaker 9: Thanks so much for having me, Vince. I probably could
- 35:15Speaker 9: have used some of that blackout coffee while I was
- 35:18Speaker 9: listening to this oral argument yesterday.
- 35:20Speaker 1: Isn't it crazy? So, you know, I actually, I had
- 35:23Speaker 1: higher hopes yesterday for the oral arguments. I thought that
- 35:26Speaker 1: we'd have more people on the side of sanity here,
- 35:29Speaker 1: which is that, no, of course, the people who drafted
- 35:32Speaker 1: the 14th Amendment did not intend for every illegal alien
- 35:35Speaker 1: to have an American citizen child in our country. What
- 35:37Speaker 1: did you think of the oral arguments yesterday?
- 35:40Speaker 9: I actually, it was very interesting. It was more or
- 35:44Speaker 9: less what I expected it to be. There was tough
- 35:47Speaker 9: questioning of both John Sauer, who represented the Trump administration,
- 35:51Speaker 9: and Cecilia Wang, who represented the ACLU in that. But
- 35:55Speaker 9: the one thing that I was sort of surprised about
- 35:58Speaker 9: was Sauer and the Department of Justice had submitted a
- 36:02Speaker 9: number of briefs that were actually well thought out, very
- 36:05Speaker 9: sophisticated briefs. They probably, on the briefs, they probably had
- 36:09Speaker 9: the better side of the argument. But many of the justices,
- 36:13Speaker 9: including Chief Justice John Roberts, didn't really seem to read
- 36:16Speaker 9: very deeply into the briefs or weren't buying what Sauer
- 36:20Speaker 9: was selling. Because at one point, Roberts referred to some
- 36:23Speaker 9: of the references that Sauer made as quirky. But I mean,
- 36:26Speaker 9: we're talking about a law that was passed in 1868.
- 36:29Speaker 9: We're talking about a Supreme Court decision that was issued
- 36:32Speaker 9: in 1898. based upon English feudal law. So, I mean,
- 36:37Speaker 9: you're definitely going to be, it's a pretty heady argument. And,
- 36:42Speaker 9: you know, it points, they did get very deeply into it. So,
- 36:46Speaker 9: you know, intellectually, it was very stimulating, except for Ketanji
- 36:49Speaker 9: Brown Jackson. But with respect to the other arguments, I
- 36:53Speaker 9: thought that they were very thoughtful. I think we're going
- 36:55Speaker 9: to have the justices, the clerks, they're going to pour
- 36:58Speaker 9: over those briefs. And I actually think the government may
- 37:01Speaker 9: have a slightly better chance than most people think.
- 37:03Speaker 1: So you actually think that John Sauer did a decent
- 37:05Speaker 1: job yesterday. I mean, he did. I mean, he's I've
- 37:08Speaker 1: always been impressed by his his arguments before the court.
- 37:11Speaker 1: And generally, I was yesterday. There was a moment where
- 37:13Speaker 1: I think Brett Kavanaugh had asked him why it's relevant
- 37:17Speaker 1: that so many other countries don't handle immigration the same
- 37:20Speaker 1: way we do. He's like, why? Why are you even
- 37:22Speaker 1: bringing up the way other countries handle this? Because I'm
- 37:24Speaker 1: only interested really in American law. and the American Constitution
- 37:28Speaker 1: and American history. And I thought the answer that John
- 37:31Speaker 1: Sauer did not produce to that question would be, well,
- 37:34Speaker 1: it's relevant to know how other countries handled this historically,
- 37:38Speaker 1: because that would get into the minds of the people
- 37:40Speaker 1: who drafted the 14th Amendment, wouldn't it?
- 37:43Speaker 3: Yeah, Vince.
- 37:43Speaker 9: In fact, it makes me think that you've actually read
- 37:46Speaker 9: through John Sauer's brief, because he covers that very well.
- 37:50Speaker 9: And he, you know, explains that at the time that
- 37:53Speaker 9: the 14th Amendment was passed and at the time that
- 37:56Speaker 9: the Constitution itself was ratified, that the founders had cast
- 38:01Speaker 9: off those, you know, feudalistic English principles that governed nationality
- 38:07Speaker 9: in Britain and had actually surveyed the world to see
- 38:11Speaker 9: what they did, how they treated nationality so that we
- 38:14Speaker 9: could create a very unique American citizenship. If you think
- 38:17Speaker 9: about it, Vince, The biggest difference between the new United
- 38:22Speaker 9: States and the old British Empire was the fact that
- 38:25Speaker 9: we didn't have a king. In the United States, the
- 38:28Speaker 9: people were sovereign. And therefore, ideas that you are the
- 38:33Speaker 9: liege to the king when born there and thus you
- 38:36Speaker 9: gain nationality is a poor fit. And that's really the
- 38:40Speaker 9: point that the Justice Department was making in its briefs.
- 38:43Speaker 9: But yeah, I was surprised that Sauer didn't respond in
- 38:46Speaker 9: that manner because that is actually the point that the
- 38:49Speaker 9: government made in its briefing.
- 38:51Speaker 1: Just as a matter of common sense, how could any
- 38:56Speaker 1: person be for allowing illegals to jump across our border
- 39:00Speaker 1: and have an American citizen child? How could that be?
- 39:03Speaker 1: I looked, and you would know the data much better
- 39:05Speaker 1: than me, Art, but I looked at the data this
- 39:09Speaker 1: week so I could reflect on this, and I was like,
- 39:11Speaker 1: stunned by the number of illegal alien babies who are
- 39:14Speaker 1: born in the United States each year. We're talking around 300,000,
- 39:18Speaker 1: according to Pew Research data back in 2023. That's with
- 39:22Speaker 1: about three and a half million births. In other words,
- 39:24Speaker 1: there's like eight or nine percent of all U.S. births
- 39:28Speaker 1: each year are two illegal aliens in our country. This
- 39:32Speaker 1: is a problem of epic proportions.
- 39:35Speaker 9: Yeah, it absolutely is. And, you know, here's sort of
- 39:38Speaker 9: the good and the bad that comes along with having
- 39:41Speaker 9: six conservative Supreme Court justices. They really don't care about
- 39:46Speaker 9: the practicality of the thing. They care about the intents
- 39:49Speaker 9: of the framers, the founders, the ratifiers of the 14th Amendment.
- 39:55Speaker 9: Keep in mind, this is the same Supreme Court that
- 39:58Speaker 9: in McGirt versus Oklahoma found that 42% of a state
- 40:02Speaker 9: in the middle of the United States was actually Indian territory,
- 40:06Speaker 9: and they did that in 2020. So the practicalities of
- 40:09Speaker 9: the thing don't really weigh that heavily in, except to
- 40:12Speaker 9: the degree that that there was a line of questioning
- 40:15Speaker 9: about how the interpretation of the 14th Amendment would change
- 40:20Speaker 9: given technology and modern changes. People don't come on wooden ships.
- 40:25Speaker 9: They don't come on steamships. They could fly directly into
- 40:29Speaker 9: the United States and give birth. In fact, we've seen
- 40:31Speaker 9: birth tourism rings that were cracked that had made millions
- 40:35Speaker 9: of dollars in California and Orange County and around Irvine.
- 40:39Speaker 9: So they actually did explore that issue. But I think
- 40:44Speaker 9: they're only going to consider the practicalities of the thing
- 40:47Speaker 9: in terms of, you know, how it would, you know,
- 40:52Speaker 9: how if the framers had known about these modern technologies, including,
- 40:56Speaker 9: you know, in vitro fertilization, you know, how they would
- 40:59Speaker 9: have applied the key second clause in Section 1 of
- 41:03Speaker 9: the 14th Amendment, subject to the jurisdiction of the United States.
- 41:07Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, doesn't the Constitution also include a provision
- 41:09Speaker 1: that we can thwart invasion? You know, that's like, We
- 41:14Speaker 1: we're being invaded right now. And then everyone acts like
- 41:16Speaker 1: that's totally normal. It's you know, I I was frustrated
- 41:19Speaker 1: by John Roberts's questioning when he suggested he's like, well, obviously,
- 41:24Speaker 1: the 14th Amendment, as you point out, John Sauer precludes
- 41:28Speaker 1: a couple of people from having U.S. citizen children like,
- 41:30Speaker 1: you know, foreign diplomats can't have. American kids if they're
- 41:34Speaker 1: born on U.S.
- 41:34Speaker 8: Soil.
- 41:35Speaker 1: But beyond that, like, how do you stress that out
- 41:37Speaker 1: to illegal aliens? There's just so many of them. And
- 41:40Speaker 1: I was like, well, just because there's huge numbers doesn't
- 41:43Speaker 1: mean the law doesn't apply, does it?
- 41:45Speaker 3: Yeah, no.
- 41:45Speaker 9: And, you know, it's actually a very interesting point, Vince,
- 41:48Speaker 9: because at one juncture, I think it was Justice Sotomayor who,
- 41:52Speaker 9: you know, or actually it was Justice Jackson, who suggested
- 41:56Speaker 9: that if the Trump executive order were to take effect,
- 42:00Speaker 9: that pregnant women would have to be deposed by their
- 42:03Speaker 9: doctors to determine what their status was in the United States. Now,
- 42:08Speaker 9: this represents a fundamental misunderstanding of what happens at maternity hospitals,
- 42:13Speaker 9: and I have a very close relative who is an obstetrician.
- 42:18Speaker 9: The hospital itself, the doctor, the nurses in the delivery suite,
- 42:22Speaker 9: the midwives, They don't make the determination of who is
- 42:25Speaker 9: a citizen or who isn't. And if you look at
- 42:27Speaker 9: a birth record from a hospital, all that it does
- 42:29Speaker 9: is record the name of the parents, the size and
- 42:33Speaker 9: weight of the baby, you know, the baby's name, if known.
- 42:36Speaker 9: They'll occasionally capture APGAR scores on those things, but they
- 42:39Speaker 9: don't say anything about citizenship.
- 42:41Speaker 1: And they assign a gender at birth, just to be clear, too.
- 42:44Speaker 1: That's when they assign your gender at that moment.
- 42:47Speaker 9: I knew you were going to go for that one, too, Vince,
- 42:50Speaker 9: but we'll pass over that one for a second. But yeah,
- 42:54Speaker 9: you know, that document only matters when it comes time
- 42:57Speaker 9: for the child to receive some sort of government benefit,
- 42:59Speaker 9: to get a Social Security card, to get a passport,
- 43:02Speaker 9: to apply. And you and I both know how common
- 43:04Speaker 9: this is when the parents go to apply for food
- 43:07Speaker 9: stamps for that child. If you look at the amicus
- 43:10Speaker 9: brief that was filed by the state of Tennessee, they
- 43:12Speaker 9: actually talk about the billions of dollars that states incur
- 43:16Speaker 9: providing means-tested public benefits, WIC, Medicaid, food stamps. to all
- 43:23Speaker 9: of those children who were born to illegal aliens in
- 43:26Speaker 9: the United States. So again, I think that if the
- 43:28Speaker 9: framers had known that, and we can, the Supreme Court's
- 43:31Speaker 9: gonna try and suss out what the framers would have
- 43:34Speaker 9: thought if they had known that we would have this
- 43:36Speaker 9: welfare state, how they would have applied it, which is
- 43:39Speaker 9: why I think that the government actually has a slightly
- 43:42Speaker 9: better chance than most people do in this case.
- 43:45Speaker 1: Okay, all right. Well, I mean, I'm very happy to
- 43:47Speaker 1: hear a little bit of optimism on that subject, because
- 43:50Speaker 1: I was very pessimistic coming out of that yesterday. But also,
- 43:54Speaker 1: can you explain how– like kind of what having a U.S.
- 43:58Speaker 1: citizen child does for an illegal alien parent? So like
- 44:02Speaker 1: if you're in the country illegally and all of a
- 44:04Speaker 1: sudden you have a kid that's considered an American citizen,
- 44:07Speaker 1: what does that give you access to? And what does
- 44:10Speaker 1: your future look like now that a U.S. citizen is
- 44:13Speaker 1: a part of your life?
- 44:14Speaker 9: Well, you know, that's a great question. And, you know,
- 44:18Speaker 9: we could probably talk for an hour about all of
- 44:20Speaker 9: those benefits. But here's really the key one. As soon
- 44:23Speaker 9: as you have a United States citizen child, that child
- 44:26Speaker 9: is eligible for all those means tested public benefits. I
- 44:30Speaker 9: just talked about Medicaid food stamps. One of the things
- 44:33Speaker 9: that the Center for Immigration Studies has determined is that,
- 44:37Speaker 9: you know, aliens in the United States actually use welfare
- 44:40Speaker 9: benefits at a higher rate than the native born, notwithstanding
- 44:45Speaker 9: the fact that back in 1996, Congress attempted to strip aliens,
- 44:49Speaker 9: even green card holders, of their ability to get means
- 44:52Speaker 9: tested public benefits because there is a public charge test
- 44:56Speaker 9: in the Immigration and Nationality Act. So, you know, the most,
- 45:00Speaker 9: you know, straightforward one is public benefits. But as soon
- 45:04Speaker 9: as that child turns 21, the child can then petition
- 45:07Speaker 9: for the parent to get a green card to come here.
- 45:11Speaker 9: you know, to reside here and be placed on a
- 45:13Speaker 9: path to citizenship.
- 45:14Speaker 1: But more- Wait, even if they're here, sorry, even if
- 45:17Speaker 1: they're here illegally already, if they're present in the country illegally,
- 45:20Speaker 1: the U.S. citizens can request it?
- 45:23Speaker 9: They would have to go abroad, pick up the visa
- 45:25Speaker 9: and come back in and they'd have to get a
- 45:27Speaker 9: waiver of their unlawful presence. But the Biden administration was
- 45:30Speaker 9: giving those waivers away like they were bazooka joke comics in,
- 45:36Speaker 9: you know, a pack of gum.
- 45:37Speaker 1: So, you know- I'm sorry, okay, just, can we dwell
- 45:40Speaker 1: on this for a second? So what you just described
- 45:42Speaker 1: is amnesty at scale. If there's 300,000 U.S. citizen children
- 45:47Speaker 1: being born in the United States each year, and then
- 45:49Speaker 1: when they come of age, the Biden administration was granting
- 45:53Speaker 1: pathways to citizenship to all of their parents. Is that,
- 45:56Speaker 1: I mean, was this a pretty big amnesty that they
- 45:59Speaker 1: handed out?
- 46:00Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean, and it is an amnesty under color
- 46:02Speaker 9: of law without congressional approval. But yeah, in essence, Vince,
- 46:07Speaker 9: that is what they were doing. But there's even, you know,
- 46:09Speaker 9: one step beyond that. If you are illegally present in
- 46:13Speaker 9: the United States and you have a child, you can actually,
- 46:17Speaker 9: and you get placed into removal proceedings, you can seek
- 46:21Speaker 9: a form of relief called cancellation for certain non-permanent residents.
- 46:25Speaker 9: We call it 42B cancellation because it's the form E
- 46:29Speaker 9: or 42B that people use to apply for that. And
- 46:33Speaker 9: as soon as you file that application, Your case is
- 46:37Speaker 9: put on hold until the judge can adjudicate whether your
- 46:41Speaker 9: removal from the United States would result in exceptional and
- 46:44Speaker 9: extremely unusual hardship to the child. That itself is also
- 46:49Speaker 9: a de facto form of amnesty because it allows the
- 46:53Speaker 9: parent to remain in the United States for a year,
- 46:56Speaker 9: five years, ten years, until the court can get around
- 46:58Speaker 9: to adjudicating those cases. They're not high priorities. And for
- 47:02Speaker 9: that reason, it basically buys you time to remain in
- 47:05Speaker 9: the United States unlawfully.
- 47:06Speaker 1: Which is where we derive the term anchor baby from.
- 47:09Speaker 1: All of a sudden now, you've bound yourself to the
- 47:11Speaker 1: country by virtue of the American citizen child that you've
- 47:15Speaker 1: been conferred.
- 47:16Speaker 3: Yes.
- 47:17Speaker 9: And, you know, that child is the first link in
- 47:20Speaker 9: chain migration to not only legalize the parent, and then
- 47:24Speaker 9: once the parent gets citizenship, the parent can then bring
- 47:27Speaker 9: the parent's brother and sister, mother and father. to the
- 47:30Speaker 9: United States, which is why we talk about the, you know,
- 47:33Speaker 9: chain migration multipliers, you know, that exist in the immigration law.
- 47:38Speaker 9: And again, the first link is that baby.
- 47:43Speaker 1: It is extraordinary, the scale of this problem. And we
- 47:47Speaker 1: only know some of the contours of it, thanks to
- 47:49Speaker 1: your great work. Art, thank you very much. Andrew Arthur
- 47:52Speaker 1: of the Center for Immigration Studies. Really appreciate you being
- 47:54Speaker 1: with me today, sir.
- 47:55Speaker 9: Thanks so much for having me, Vince.
- 47:57Speaker 1: Always good to chat. There he is, Andrew Arthur. Our
- 48:00Speaker 1: thanks to him. Yeah, so look, this is a massive problem.
- 48:05Speaker 1: And one of the things that stands out to me
- 48:06Speaker 1: there is just the fact that these parents are being
- 48:08Speaker 1: given pathways to citizenship. So because they immigrated illegally, and
- 48:14Speaker 1: so the way that they are able to stay here
- 48:17Speaker 1: and then become citizens is they have babies in the
- 48:20Speaker 1: United States. You hear about that all over the place?
- 48:23Speaker 1: I don't think so. Thank you to Andrew Arthur for
- 48:26Speaker 1: explaining that. We've got massive problems to fix here. Massive problems.
- 48:31Speaker 1: You know, I had Dan Bongino, the great Dan Bongino,
- 48:35Speaker 1: on my radio program yesterday. We're doing crossover episodes each week.
- 48:40Speaker 1: I'll be on his podcast next week, Wednesday. And we
- 48:44Speaker 1: were chatting about this problem and about the oral arguments yesterday.
- 48:48Speaker 1: And I brought up the fact that What you're looking
- 48:53Speaker 1: at is the left, the reason the left engages in
- 48:56Speaker 1: this system, the reason they love this corrupt system, and
- 48:59Speaker 1: the reason they're handing out citizenship like candy is because
- 49:03Speaker 1: the current American citizenry doesn't like the left. We don't
- 49:09Speaker 1: support Democrats. We don't vote for them. If we had
- 49:13Speaker 1: fair elections, they'd spend all their time in the political wilderness.
- 49:16Speaker 1: If we had secure borders and fair elections, the Democrat
- 49:19Speaker 1: president would be non-existent. And yet they continue to exist.
- 49:24Speaker 1: Why is that? Because we have fraudulent elections. We have
- 49:29Speaker 1: a fraudulent media in many cases that lie to the
- 49:32Speaker 1: American public about what the Democrats are up to and
- 49:35Speaker 1: why people should support them. And then fundamentally, they're also
- 49:39Speaker 1: importing people by the millions in order to establish ill-gotten
- 49:44Speaker 1: political power. And that manifests itself in a million different
- 49:47Speaker 1: ways to include the electoral college and congressional seats that
- 49:51Speaker 1: they don't deserve and the United States census numbers that
- 49:54Speaker 1: don't distinguish between American citizens and illegal aliens, all of
- 49:57Speaker 1: those things. But the other piece of this that is
- 50:01Speaker 1: probably not appreciated enough in our debates is the extent
- 50:05Speaker 1: to which that when these illegal alien parents are having children,
- 50:08Speaker 1: if they're conferred American citizenship, the Democrats believe that in
- 50:12Speaker 1: the long run, that that's going to be to their benefit,
- 50:14Speaker 1: that this is a new class of pro-Democrat voter coming
- 50:19Speaker 1: up in the system. Now, it may not be true
- 50:21Speaker 1: in every case. It's going to be kids who are
- 50:23Speaker 1: born to illegal aliens who might vote for Republicans going
- 50:26Speaker 1: into the future. Certainly, Democrats had two-dimensional views of all
- 50:30Speaker 1: Hispanics that turned out to be completely wrong. But the
- 50:34Speaker 1: game that they're attempting to play is the long-term replacement
- 50:38Speaker 1: of American voters. They don't like the American voters. They're
- 50:42Speaker 1: not deriving power from American voters. So let's import a
- 50:44Speaker 1: new class of voters and go for broke there. Let's
- 50:47Speaker 1: hope it works. Now, again, who knows if it'll actually
- 50:50Speaker 1: work for them in the future, but that's clearly what
- 50:53Speaker 1: they're attempting to do. It's not my supposition. It's not
- 50:57Speaker 1: my theory. It's their plan. They've written books on the subject.
- 51:01Speaker 1: Demographics are destiny. In fact, Dan and I were talking
- 51:04Speaker 1: at some length about this yesterday. But as we were
- 51:07Speaker 1: talking about that particular phrase and the way the left
- 51:09Speaker 1: has wielded it and their attempts to truly displace the
- 51:13Speaker 1: current crop of American voters, I had this realization. It
- 51:17Speaker 1: reminded me a lot of The Matrix.
- 51:19Speaker 9: Do you.
- 51:26Speaker 1: Which is like, I don't know, is there anybody who
- 51:27Speaker 1: hasn't seen it? In the Matrix, everybody's living inside of
- 51:33Speaker 1: this world where the computers control everything. And they don't
- 51:37Speaker 1: know it. They're ignorant. Fundamentally, humans are ignorant of this.
- 51:40Speaker 1: So everything around you is fake. And in real life,
- 51:43Speaker 1: you're plugged into the Matrix and you're being manipulated. In fact,
- 51:47Speaker 1: your body's being used for energy, for the robots. You're
- 51:52Speaker 1: powering the Matrix. the human bodies are. And in a way,
- 51:56Speaker 1: I kind of look at this and say, this is
- 51:58Speaker 1: kind of the same thing. Democrats are deriving power from
- 52:02Speaker 1: millions of people that they are importing into the United
- 52:04Speaker 1: States to confer them power. They're creating their own matrix.
- 52:08Speaker 1: They're using illegal aliens as a power source for their party.
- 52:14Speaker 1: And it's a total betrayal of humanity. It's a total
- 52:17Speaker 1: betrayal of your liberty. It's a total betrayal of your sovereignty.
- 52:20Speaker 1: And it's all done for cruel political power. And meanwhile,
- 52:24Speaker 1: they're pulling the wool over everybody's eyes. They're generating the
- 52:27Speaker 1: matrix before our very eyes. That's what the Democrats are
- 52:30Speaker 1: up to. And it's pretty poisonous. It's a very destructive thing.
- 52:36Speaker 1: And so I'm encouraged by Andrew Arthur's assessment that the
- 52:40Speaker 1: court may come to their senses here and give us
- 52:43Speaker 1: some sort of favorable ruling that rights this colossal wrong
- 52:47Speaker 1: that we're seeing play out before us. I hope he's
- 52:49Speaker 1: right about that. I worry that he's not, but I
- 52:52Speaker 1: hope he's right, that the justices may do the right
- 52:55Speaker 1: thing here. Because the truth is, the case that's before
- 52:59Speaker 1: the court right now is an existential case for the
- 53:01Speaker 1: United States of America. It's existential. If these Supreme Court
- 53:06Speaker 1: justices don't recognize that the very future of our country
- 53:11Speaker 1: hangs in the balance, then we may be done for. Now,
- 53:16Speaker 1: will it be the end of the story if we
- 53:17Speaker 1: get a ruling that says the status quo has to
- 53:20Speaker 1: be maintained? Maybe, maybe not. Only time will tell. But
- 53:25Speaker 1: understand what the challenges are going forward. If the court
- 53:28Speaker 1: rules against us, if they continue to say, yeah, of
- 53:30Speaker 1: course illegal aliens can pour into the country by the
- 53:32Speaker 1: millions and have free American citizen children. Of course Chinese
- 53:35Speaker 1: nationals can fly into California, have a baby, and have
- 53:38Speaker 1: a free American citizen child. Of course Russian oligarchs can
- 53:42Speaker 1: fly into Miami and have a baby and then flee
- 53:45Speaker 1: and have an American citizen child. If they keep that
- 53:49Speaker 1: system going, what options do we have to stop it? Well,
- 53:53Speaker 1: we would have to pass a constitutional amendment, very likely.
- 53:57Speaker 1: And what are the chances of that? What are the
- 54:00Speaker 1: chances of passing a constitutional amendment in a world where
- 54:03Speaker 1: we can't even get Congress to protect voter integrity? What
- 54:06Speaker 1: are the chances of passing a constitutional amendment in a
- 54:09Speaker 1: world where we can't even get them to fund one
- 54:13Speaker 1: agency of the federal government with a single piece of legislation?
- 54:17Speaker 1: What are the chances? As a practical matter, they're non-existent.
- 54:23Speaker 1: When we talk about saving America, we mean it. We're
- 54:28Speaker 1: in a fight for this country's future. And it's not
- 54:30Speaker 1: merely for our territorial integrity, of course it is. It's
- 54:33Speaker 1: for our kids. It's for anybody who has a belief
- 54:37Speaker 1: that the future is owed to the people who were
- 54:39Speaker 1: actually born here, actual American citizen children. You know, we
- 54:45Speaker 1: are all the beneficiaries of our country's great history. We're
- 54:50Speaker 1: the sons and daughters of people who made our country
- 54:52Speaker 1: great in the first place. And now our obligation is
- 54:57Speaker 1: to do what our ancestors did, leave this great country
- 55:01Speaker 1: to the generations that come after us. That's what we're
- 55:04Speaker 1: fighting for. And so in this moment with the United
- 55:06Speaker 1: States Supreme Court considering this case, it is really important
- 55:10Speaker 1: that once again, we turn to prayer, always turn to prayer.
- 55:13Speaker 1: It has power, it has value. And we just keep
- 55:16Speaker 1: reminding these justices, they consume media, they're out there. We
- 55:21Speaker 1: just keep reminding these justices and anybody who has any
- 55:24Speaker 1: hand in power in the United States, We have a
- 55:26Speaker 1: great country and you should do everything possible to fight
- 55:29Speaker 1: for it. President Trump believes that. President Trump was present
- 55:33Speaker 1: yesterday at the Supreme Court. He went and sat for
- 55:35Speaker 1: an hour and a half of the hearing in order
- 55:39Speaker 1: to observe it. The left freaked out about it. They
- 55:41Speaker 1: thought it was like the craziest thing. Oh, what is
- 55:43Speaker 1: he doing? What is he doing? He's going because he cares.
- 55:47Speaker 1: That's what he's doing. The left was accusing him of
- 55:50Speaker 1: trying to intimidate the justices. That's so silly. How preposterous.
- 55:54Speaker 1: Intimidate them how? By sitting there and listening dutifully as
- 55:58Speaker 1: they're conducting one of the most important oral arguments that's
- 56:02Speaker 1: ever happened in our country? Now, the president was present.
- 56:06Speaker 1: He was there because he believes in this country and
- 56:09Speaker 1: he wants to protect it. That's the fight he's waging.
- 56:13Speaker 1: And if you want to find optimism in all of this,
- 56:14Speaker 1: including if the Supreme Court rules against us here, find
- 56:17Speaker 1: optimism in Trump's demeanor. President Trump never gives up the fight.
- 56:22Speaker 1: The guy's always fighting. Against all odds, he returned to
- 56:26Speaker 1: the presidency. If you can demonstrate 10% of the fight
- 56:31Speaker 1: that President Trump has demonstrated for this country, we're going
- 56:35Speaker 1: to have an amazing country going forward. We really will.
- 56:40Speaker 1: All right, there's so much more I could possibly get to.
- 56:43Speaker 1: I want to thank everybody for being here. Congratulations, by
- 56:46Speaker 1: the way, to the astronauts on Artemis II blasting off yesterday.
- 56:50Speaker 1: Just an amazing sight to see as they head off
- 56:53Speaker 1: for that moon mission. It's going to be a big one.
- 56:55Speaker 1: The president was celebrating it yesterday, too. Our prayers for
- 56:59Speaker 1: our astronauts as they conduct, as we speak, that epic
- 57:04Speaker 1: journey around the moon. Just an amazing, amazing thing. And
