  Speaker 1: Everybody, welcome to Vince on a Tuesday heading into Independence Day.
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: Can't wait to get there. But I'm glad to spend
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: this time as we await it with you, the best
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: audience anywhere. We've got a big show today because we
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: are anticipating as we do this program live at 8 a.m.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: Eastern each morning, Rumble.com slash Vince, if you'd ever like
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: to join the live broadcast of this. We are awaiting
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: the big Supreme Court decision today on birthright citizenship. What
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: is going to happen here? Is the court going to find,
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: like any rational person should, that American citizenship should only
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: be conferred to the children of Americans? Is that what's
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: going to happen today? Or are we going to get
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: some sort of ruling today that upholds an unconstitutional status quo,
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: that any Chinese national can pour into our country, have
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: a baby, and suddenly, boom, have an American citizen? That
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: a Chinese national could fly to, say, Guam, have a baby,
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: and then instantly have an American citizen. Yeah, that ain't
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: going to work. Not for normal people. Will it work
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: for the court? We'll find out. And maybe there's an
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: opinion that they're going to try and release where they
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: can split the baby, metaphorically speaking. Split the anchor baby.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: We'll see. We'll see. I'll talk all about it coming
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: up in a moment with you. Also, the Save America
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: Act gets a brand new push from the President of
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: the United States, And it is driving Congress absolutely bat
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: guano crazy. I'm going to get into that in a moment, too,
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: because there's some very clever ideas being put forward by
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: Mike Lee, Anna Paulina Luna. This fight is very live.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: So I need you to stay in it. I'll tell
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: you all the latest updates as we gavel in for
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: the Save America Act today. And also a bit of
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: a cleanup job for Mark Wayne Mullen after he uttered
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: some ideas about how Haitians could stay in the United
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: States this weekend. He's not saying that anymore. We've got
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: more details on that coming up. A very busy edition
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: of Vince on a Tuesday. It's Tuesday. Why is it busy? Well,
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: it's always busy. It's the Trump administration. It's so great

• 3:38
  Speaker 1: the marathon with me yesterday? Who did it? Anybody? Anybody
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: in chat do the five hours with me yesterday? We
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: did five hours. It was fun. It was a good time.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: Not the kind of thing you should do every day, though.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: But who am I kidding? I do four hours every day,
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: so I don't know what adding an extra hour really changes.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: But we did Dan Bongino's program yesterday. It was a
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: lot of fun to fill in for Dan while he
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: was on vacation. And great to check back in with
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: the audience. See, I got some I dids. Yeah, I
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: got some marathons. We should have like, you know, some
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: sort of award or something for people in the chat
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: who can go the full distance. It was awesome to
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: spend some time with you yesterday. And as you can tell,
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: it's so funny. As you can tell, I have so
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: much stuff to get to on any given day. The
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: truth is we can do five hours because I'm just
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: gathering all sorts of thread. But I will say the
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: toughest part of my day yesterday was not the five
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: hours of content. It was preparing the content for today
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: and then having an email mishap last night that destroyed everything.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: So yesterday evening, I'm going to get into some moaning
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: about my own life for a second. Yesterday evening, I'm
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: trying to prep everything for today's programs. And I just
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: put the finishing touches on it. And I'll admit it
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: was a little late yesterday. I usually get my notes
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: out by around 8 p.m. each night so that Josh
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: has time to pull some video. And candidly, I did
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: get a little bit out to him last night before
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: 8 o'clock. But I told him, I was like, Josh,
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: I've got some things to do tonight, some family stuff.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: I'm going to try and get this to you as
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: soon as I can. So 10 o'clock rolls around. I've
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: got my email all tied up with a bow. It's perfect.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: Everything's ready to go. And then in my stupor, just
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: like tiredness, I think, I don't know what happened, but
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: I'm pretty certain I may have accidentally hit the trash
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: button instead of the send button. You don't want to
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: hit the trash button. You don't want to trash the draft.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: It wasn't like I was trashing an email that I
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: had already received. This was a draft email, and I
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: think I clicked the trash button. I think that's what happened.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: I truly don't know, but here's what I do know.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: Everything disappeared. everything freaking disappeared. And I, I, and you know,
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: you try and hold it together. My poor wife is
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: looking at me going, is everything okay? And I'm like,
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: I'm gripping my face. I like want to tear my
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: entire face off my skull. I'm like, ah, I think
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: I just destroyed all of my work for the day. Anyway,
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: so I then spent the rest of the time last
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: night leading up to, I don't know, close to midnight,
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: finally getting everything back together to the extent I can.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: So whatever I have today is the remnants of my
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: double effort to try and pull a show together for you.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: So I'll just tell you how everything went last night.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: I don't even know why I told you that story
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: other than to say it was a nightmare and I
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: just needed you to know about it. It just makes
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: me feel better telling you about it. It's so crazy.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: It's so crazy. But yes, no, I had to keep
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: it together. You know what I realized? And all husbands
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: should realize this. Don't lose your cool in front of
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: your wife. Don't become some sort of emotional wreck over
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: things like this. Just try and keep it together. Because
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: I kept thinking, my wife is going to hate me
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: if I act like a total freak right now over
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: the fact that I just lost this work. And so
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: try to keep it together. Just got right back to work.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: Finish this thing. And boom, here we are this morning.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: So I'm glad to be here with you. OK, let's
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: let's talk about what we have going on today. We
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: are very vigilant for this Supreme Court decision today. As
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: you join me, if you're you know, again, I can
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: only do this show based on what I know. And
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: by the time you hear this, we may have some
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: clear answers on the subject. But the birthright citizenship case
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: set to have a big opinion released by the court today.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: And it's going to be in the 10 o'clock a.m.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: Eastern hour. So I want to thank Dan for taking
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: the day off because that gives us a chance to
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: watch the Supreme Court and see what's going on over there.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: And I'll be assessing it on the big national radio
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: show today. But let me take you back in time
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: for a moment to April 1st. These were the oral
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: arguments in this case. And it revolves very simply around
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: whether or not illegal aliens should be entitled to have
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: American citizen children just by virtue of the fact that
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: they give birth in this country. The answer to that
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: is hell no to any normal American. It's also hell
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: no to the people who wrote the 13th, 14th, and
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: 15th Amendments, which were dedicated not to illegal aliens having
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: American citizen babies, but instead to the children of former
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: slaves saying that, yes, you are an American citizen by
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: virtue of your birth in this country. That's what those
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: amendments were about. That's what the 14th Amendment is about.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: It's as clear as understanding even the slimmest understanding of
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: American history. But John Roberts seemed very confused on April
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: 1st when they had these oral arguments. And I want
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: you to listen back. Here is the Chief Justice, theoretically
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: supposed to be on our side, supposed to be on
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: the side of the Constitution. But here he is very
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: confused about why illegals should be excluded from citizenship. Listen
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: to this.
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: Well, starting with that theory, you obviously put a lot
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: of weight on subject to the jurisdiction thereof. But the
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: examples you give to support that strike me as very quirky.
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: You know, children of ambassadors, children of enemies during a
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: hostile invasion, children on warships. And then you expand it
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: to the whole class of illegal aliens are here in
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: the country. I'm not quite sure how you can get
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: to that big group from such tiny and sort of
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: idiosyncratic groups.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: There are those sort of narrow exceptions for ambassadors. Okay,
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: I don't even need to hear the response. I'm driven
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: crazy by this questioning, and here's why. John Roberts is
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: citing the accuracy of the argument that the children of
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: foreign diplomats don't become American citizens in the United States
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: just because a foreign diplomat has a baby here. Now,
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: why is that? Why is that the case? And the
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: answer is because they're subject to the jurisdiction of another country. OK,
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: so what about illegal aliens? Why are illegal aliens afforded U.S.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: citizen children? And you notice that he does something there
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: that should not be in a legal argument. He's making
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: a case that, well, that's a small subset, the children
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: of diplomats, illegal aliens. Well, Biden opened our borders and
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: they're here in huge numbers, tens of millions of illegal aliens.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: So that number is so big. How can you use
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: a small example and apply it to a big example?
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: That's not a legal argument. That's a political argument. That's
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: an argument about like, well, this problem is so far gone,
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: we can't address it now. That's insanity. John Roberts, stop
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: looking for paths out of doing the right thing. And
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: yet that's what John Roberts appeared to be doing on
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: April 1st. So this was the kind of thing. You
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: hear this coming out of the court and you begin
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: to become a little bit disheartened that they're going to
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: do the right thing and stand up for this country.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: The ACLU was on the side of saying that illegal
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: aliens should have American citizen children. The American Civil Liberties Unions.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: which is not in any way fighting for American civil liberties.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: They're fighting for a foreign invasion of the country and
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: for conferring American citizenship on people who don't deserve it.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: Here's cut two, listen to that argument at the time.
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: Not subject to any foreign power is pretty straightforward. So
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: let me give you these examples. A boy is born
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: here to an Iranian father who has entered the country illegally.
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: That boy is automatically an Iranian national at birth. And
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: he has a duty to provide military service to the
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: Iranian government. Is he not subject to any foreign power?
• 11:29
  Speaker 5: Not within the meaning of the 1866 Act, Justice Alito.
• 11:33
  Speaker 5: And that's clear from Wong Kim Ark, and it's clear
• 11:35
  Speaker 5: from the debates. What the framers meant by the phrase
• 11:38
  Speaker 5: not subject to any foreign power was referring to the
• 11:40
  Speaker 5: ambassador exception. If it meant what the government contends, basically
• 11:45
  Speaker 5: not a subject of any foreign power, that another country
• 11:49
  Speaker 5: considers you a sanguineous citizen, then lawful permanent residence, all
• 11:55
  Speaker 5: foreign nationals.
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: The ordinary public meaning of that would certainly encompass that boy,
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: would it not?
• 12:03
  Speaker 5: Justice Alito, if you think that the language of the
• 12:06
  Speaker 5: 1866 Act was ambiguous, as Wong Kim Ark says... The
• 12:10
  Speaker 5: shift to the language of the 14th Amendment, which is
• 12:12
  Speaker 5: the operative text, certainly clears up any ambiguity.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: Okay, let me handle this then. So she's making an
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: argument that is predicated on a complete falsehood. She's citing
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: the Wong Kim Art case, which dates back to 1898,
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: and making it seem like, okay, well, that settled the
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: matter that any immigrant child who's born in the United
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: States becomes an American citizen. Here's... Here's the key element
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: to this, though. The Wong Kim Ark case did not
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: involve illegal immigration. Now, I submit that I don't think
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: any legal immigrant should be entitled to an American citizen
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: child unless they're an American citizen. That should be the
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: way this is constructed. And I think the 14th Amendment
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: is crystal clear on the subject. And I don't even
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: think the court should should stray away from that obvious reading.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: But even if they did, even if they said that
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: legal immigrants could have American citizen children because they came
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: in the right way and they're subject somehow to the
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: jurisdiction of the United States in that capacity, the Wong
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: Kim Ark case does not apply to illegal aliens. Never did.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: The Wong Kim Ark case was about the son of
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: a Chinese laborer who was brought to the United States legally.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: a legal Chinese worker here in the United States who
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: had a son. And the question was whether or not
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: that son becomes an American citizen. It has nothing to
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: do with illegal aliens. And you heard in Sam Alito's question,
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: he was asking about an illegal Iranian who has a
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: child who's instantly an Iranian national subject to the jurisdiction
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: of Iran by virtue of mandated military service. He was
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: setting all the conditions to be like, look how ridiculous
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: this is. And still the ACLU lawyer was like, wow, no,
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: that person, that kid should definitely be an American citizen.
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: You're a psycho. What are you doing? And you want
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: to talk about psycho? The most psycho thing that happened
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: in that oral argument was Katonji Brown Jackson, who you
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: know how she's going to decide on this case. I
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: already know. Here, I'll tell you right now, without even
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: seeing the decision yet, let me pull out my crystal ball.
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: I don't have a crystal ball. I have a cup
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: of blackout coffee.
• 14:18
  Speaker 6: You ready?
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: Let's see. How is Katonji Brown Jackson going to rule
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: on this case today? Oh, she's going to say illegal
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: aliens get American citizen children. In fact, let's pretend the
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: case has already come out. Man, did you see that?
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: Katonji Brown Jackson said that illegal alien children should be
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: American citizens. Isn't that crazy? What a psychotic decision by
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: Katonji Brown Jackson and every other justice who joined her. Insanity.
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: She said this, and she said this subject to the
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: jurisdiction thereof thing is predicated on if you break the
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: country's laws, that's a way to say that you have
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: established allegiance. Like, Vince, did she really say that? Yeah,
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: she really said it. Cut three. Listen to this.
• 15:06
  Speaker 6: I was thinking about this, and I think there are
• 15:10
  Speaker 6: various sources that say this, that you can have, you
• 15:14
  Speaker 6: obviously have permanent allegiance to based on being born in
• 15:18
  Speaker 6: whatever country you're from. That's what everybody recognizes. But you
• 15:22
  Speaker 6: also have local allegiance when you are on the soil
• 15:26
  Speaker 6: of this other sovereign. And I was thinking, you know, I,
• 15:30
  Speaker 6: a U.S. citizen, am visiting Japan. And what it means
• 15:35
  Speaker 6: is that, you know, if I steal someone's wallet in Japan,
• 15:39
  Speaker 6: the Japanese authorities can arrest me and prosecute me It's
• 15:46
  Speaker 6: allegiance meaning can they control you as a matter of law?
• 15:51
  Speaker 6: I can also rely on them if my wallet is
• 15:53
  Speaker 6: stolen to, you know, under Japanese law, go and prosecute
• 15:58
  Speaker 6: the person who has stolen it. So there's this relationship
• 16:02
  Speaker 6: based on, even though I'm a temporary traveler, I'm just
• 16:05
  Speaker 6: on vacation in Japan, I'm still locally owing allegiance in
• 16:11
  Speaker 6: that sense.
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: She pledges allegiance to Japan when she goes there and
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: breaks their laws. That's being passed off as some sort
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: of wisdom on the United States Supreme Court. That woman
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: doesn't even know what a woman is. She's not a biologist,
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: but she can tell you that breaking Japan's laws is
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: a way of demonstrating allegiance. I don't even know if
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: she understands the English language, candidly. It's crazy. Here's a
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: quick crash course, though, in the way all of this works.
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: I mentioned the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments. They were
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: written specifically for the children of former slaves. It's about
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: as straightforward as it gets. And there's a great piece
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: from Ann Coulter back in 2018 that she wrote. She
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: called it The True History of Milestone Babies. And I
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: like quoting from this because it has all this really
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: good information about the history here. that's actually going on.
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: And she says this, as the court has explained again
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: and again and again, no one can fail to be
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: impressed with the one pervading purpose found in the 13th, 14th,
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: and 15th amendments. Lying at the foundation of each, and
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: without which none of them would have been even suggested,
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: We mean the freedom of the slave race, the security
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: and firm establishment of that freedom, and the protection of
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: the newly made free men and citizen from the oppression
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: of those who had formerly exercised unlimited dominion over them.
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: That's why the amendment refers to people who are subject
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: to the jurisdiction of the United States and of the
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: state wherein they reside. For generations, African Americans were domiciled
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: in this country. The only reason they weren't citizens was
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: because of slavery, which the country had just fought a
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: civil war to end. The 14th Amendment fixed that. The
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: amendment didn't even make Indians citizens.
• 18:13
  Speaker 6: Why?
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: Because it was about freed slaves. 16 years after the
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: 14th Amendment was ratified, The Supreme Court held that an
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: American Indian, John Elk, was not a citizen despite having
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: been born here. Instead, Congress had to pass a separate
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: law making Indians citizens, which it did more than half
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: a century after the adoption of the 14th Amendment. It's
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: easy to miss. The law is titled the Indian Citizenship
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: Act of 1924. Why would such a law be necessary
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: if simply being born in the United States was enough
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: to confer citizenship? So again, history, the Constitution, the law,
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: it's all on the side of making the right decision today.
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: The question is, will the court do that? Will the
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: court do that? Now, I think a lot of us
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: are prepared for the answer to that being no. That
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: we've had a lot of good decisions in the last week,
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: many good decisions, not all good, but many good decisions
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: in the last week. And that in a way, you
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: and I are being fattened up for the slaughter on
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: this one. I hope that's not true. I worry that
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: it is. Now, I did see one prediction on the
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: subject that I value. This is a guy from the
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: Center for Immigration Studies, Mark Krikorian, who I've had on
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: my programs many times. And he said this last night.
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: He said, I've said this before, but I'll stick my
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: neck out again. The Supreme Court will rule against the
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: president tomorrow, but will not constitutionalize birthright citizenship. Instead, Roberts
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: will punt. ruling that only Congress can try to change
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: current practice per Section 5 of the 14th Amendment. In
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: other words, that the court may say, hey, the president
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: can't forbid illegal aliens from having American citizen children. But
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: if Congress wants to do it, they can. They can.
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: and that they won't make some big constitutional declaration about
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: any child that's born in the United States becoming an
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: American citizen. Now, I don't know how you can twist
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: yourself into a pretzel to come to that conclusion if
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: you're John Roberts, but don't underestimate John Roberts' ability to
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: twist himself into a pretzel to come to a conclusion
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: that won't upset the apple cart too much. He'd hate
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: to upset Democrats too much, which is wild because Democrats
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: hate him. Democrats think he's a part of the Trump court.
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: He's a right-wing extremist. When, of course, John Roberts has
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: been anything but. More in a moment, Clarence Thomas, the
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: great Justice Clarence Thomas, who I suspect is going to
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: be on the right side of whatever the decision is today.
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: He stopped by the United States Congress yesterday. I've got
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: footage of it, and it makes me smile because I
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: just like watching Justice Thomas interact with people. Every time
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: he does it, I crack up. It's great. More ahead
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: on this edition of Vince. We've got a lot to
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: discuss today. I want to thank one of the great
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: sponsors who do help me after I delete all of
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: my show notes and then am lying there in misery like,
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: what the heck did I just do? You know what?
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: I still sleep well anyway, thanks to our Helix mattress.

  Speaker 1: Great mattress. All right, so Clarence Thomas, you know, is
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: not the kind of guy to leak the results of
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: a Supreme Court opinion before they are officially released. But,
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: of course, the media tried to get him to leak.
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: Here's Clarence Thomas, for some reason, appearing on Capitol Hill yesterday,
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: and he's not interested in telling this reporter why. Watch this.
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: Cut four.
• 23:00
  Speaker 7: Justice Thomas, can we ask who you were meeting with today?
• 23:03
  Speaker 8: What'd you say?
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: Can we ask who you were.
• 23:05
  Speaker 9: Meeting with this afternoon?
• 23:07
  Speaker 10: Which is it?
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: Who were you meeting with this afternoon?
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: Oh, nobody.
• 23:11
  Speaker 7: You weren't meeting with the Speaker?
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: Oh, God, no.
• 23:14
  Speaker 10: So what are you doing up here?
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: Oh, just walking.
• 23:17
  Speaker 11: No meetings in particular?
• 23:18
  Speaker 4: I'm going to tell you about.
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: Tomorrow's going to be a big day at the court, huh?
• 23:23
  Speaker 10: Final day of decisions?
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: Oh, I guess so.
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: You want to give us a sneak.
• 23:26
  Speaker 11: Peek of some of the decisions?
• 23:27
  Speaker 10: Nope.
• 23:29
  Speaker 7: But you can tell us why you're up here today,
• 23:31
  Speaker 7: who you're meeting with?
• 23:34
  Speaker 10: Who are you meeting with, sir? Were you up here
• 23:38
  Speaker 10: for any particular reason? No info on who you may
• 23:44
  Speaker 10: have been meeting with?
• 23:45
  Speaker 11: Anyone in House GOP leadership, that's who has.
• 23:48
  Speaker 7: Offices in there.
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: Any matters you are up here discussing? He just keeps
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: laughing at her.
• 23:57
  Speaker 10: Any comment on today's decisions at the end of the
• 23:58
  Speaker 10: Supreme Court term?
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: He's so funny. Look at him.
• 24:02
  Speaker 11: Any comment on the end of the term?
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: You have good questions. Do you want to answer any
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: of them? Any comment at all?
• 24:10
  Speaker 11: No.
• 24:10
  Speaker 10: Thank you, sir.
• 24:11
  Speaker 4: Thank you so much.
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: Seriously.
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: Oh, that's great.
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: Look at that.
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: The Capitol Police are shaking his hand. Isn't that great? Oh, man,
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: that's so funny. I don't know about... Are you not just...
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: I don't know if this is just the video, so
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: maybe if you're listening on the audio podcast, but you
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: can hear us chuckling. Are you not uplifted by Supreme
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: Court Justice Clarence Thomas? Every time I see him, and
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: it's like... It seems like he pops out in public
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: and he gets these questions from these guys. I remember
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: that TMZ video where the guy was asking him questions.
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: He was just howling with laughter. Every time I see him,
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: I'm just totally uplifted by the guy. What a nice thing.
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: And you're right. Yeah, no, Catherine says he's kind and respectful.
• 24:53
  Speaker 9: It's true.
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: He's totally kind. He's totally respectful. He's a man of honor.
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: He's not like releasing anything he shouldn't. Look, this is
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: so funny. It's great. It's really great. And I love
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: when she's asked, she's like, did you meet with the
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: Speaker of the House?
• 25:07
  Speaker 8: He goes, oh, God, no.
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: I don't even really know what that's a commentary on. Like, no,
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: I'm not here to meet with Mike Johnson. Pretty funny. Anyway,
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: that's Clarence Thomas. He's a great man. And I eagerly
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: look forward to whatever kind of writing he does on
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: today's subject of the of birthright citizenship, including if it's a,
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: if it's a, you know, oh God, man, wouldn't it
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: be great if it was a majority opinion? That'd be
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: the best. We will see. You know, speaking of Supreme
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: Court decisions, yesterday, the Supreme Court did restore some power
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: to the presidency, which was nice to see. They said
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: yesterday that the president can fire FTC commissioners, which like,
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: it's like, why is that breaking news? Like, why is
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: it that it took the Supreme Court saying that out loud?
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: But it's true. He can he can fire these people,
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: which is wonderful. And, you know, this is something that
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: overturns something called Humphrey's executor. There was a it was
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: a long held precedent about over 90 years now, not
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: super long, but long in terms of, you know, the
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: history of our country, I guess, over 90 years that
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: was insulating the president from being able to wield power
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: over the executive branch. You're like, well, wait a second.
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: The There's no fourth branch of government. You only have
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: the three branches, executive, legislative, judicial. Like the president has
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: to be able to govern the affairs of the executive branch.
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: And that includes both appointing and terminating people based on
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: whether or not they're fulfilling the vision of the American people.
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: And the president was trying to remove a woman by
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: the name of Rebecca Slaughter. Rebecca Slaughter is a former
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: aide to Chuck Schumer. And she was on the Federal
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: Trade Commission. because of Democrats. They put her on the
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: Federal Trade Commission. The president said, I want her out
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: of there. So he tried to fire her beginning in
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: March of 2025. And that began a big legal battle
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: about whether or not he could actually do that. The
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: Supreme Court said, yes, he can. And the president able
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: to successfully do that now. And this is a restoration
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: of power to the executive branch. Now, this is a
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: subject that the left is freaking out about because they're
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: acting like the court just keeps giving President Trump power
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: that he shouldn't have. Oh, they're expanding the power of
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: the executive. They're giving the president too much power. If
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: that is your legal analysis of the state of this court,
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: you're a moron. You're not paying attention to what actually
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: is happening. In fact, one thing that happened that this
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: court has done is they overturned, now two years ago,
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: something called Chevron deference. This involves the fact that executive
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: branch agencies were making up laws and then creating their
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: own courts to adjudicate the laws that they made up.
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: That's completely unconstitutional. And it was going on for way
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: too long. And the Supreme Court came out with a
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: decision in that case saying, wait a second, you can't
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: do that. These executive branch agencies can't invent laws and
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: they can't adjudicate them. Law writing is for the Congress
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: and adjudication is for the judiciary branch. And so the
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: court has been restoring in many of these cases, not all,
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: but in many cases, the constitutional order. And this is
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: outraging the left. They hate this. And of course, they're
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: lying about it. They're pretending like the court is just
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: giving powers to Trump. On the contrary, the court is
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: restoring power to the proper branches in most of these cases. Now,
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: are they going far enough? The answer to that is no,
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: they're not. Yesterday was a bit of a mixed decision
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: because the court released a decision about the Federal Reserve
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: as well, something called Trump v. Cook. Now, you'll probably
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: remember this involves Lisa Cook, who the president sought to
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: fire from the Federal Reserve Board of Governors. This, of course,
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: created a huge legal battle ending up in the Supreme Court.
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: And yesterday, the court said the president can't fire Lisa
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: Cook at least the way he was attempting to. He
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: can't just snap his fingers and get rid of her.
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: that there had to be some sort of process to
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: getting rid of her. So the Supreme Court yesterday throwing
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: up some roadblocks in front of him. Now, speaking of
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: Clarence Thomas, again, whose laugh I love and whose wisdom
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: I love, more importantly, he was ripping the rest of
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: the Supreme Court yesterday for continuing to allow the unconstitutional
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: arraignment of the Fed. The Federal Reserve is treated as
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: some sort of independent body outside of the control of
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: the executive branch, or at least meaningful control. And Clarence
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: Thomas yesterday said, that is insane. That's insane. And it's unconstitutional.
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: Here's Ben Weingarten summarizing, actually he just quotes from Clarence
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: Thomas's opinion yesterday. And here's how he writes about this.
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: He says, the court tells it, the Board of Governors
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: of the Federal Reserve System has for the past century
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: served to provide the American people with stable prices, maximum employment,
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: no ruinous financial panics, and a banking system free from suspicion.
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: The court credits a century of supposed success to the
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: board's independence from the president, and in turn, the voters,
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: the common people who play the antagonist in the court's
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: account of the 19th century. This is funny. So basically,
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: he's mocking this idea that the Federal Reserve has done
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: anything to protect us with stable prices and maximum employment
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: and ruinous financial panics and on and on. In other words,
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: like the Fed's been around for a century and we've
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: had all sorts of economic chaos. In fact, a lot
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: of it spurred on by the Fed, which is supposed
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: to be independent from the president, which is not in
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: any way what the founders envisioned. Justice Thomas says, many
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: do not share the court's rosy appraisal of the past century.
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: But if the court prefers an independent Federal Reserve Board,
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: then its issue is not with the president, but with
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: the Constitution. Regardless of whether unaccountable executive officers like Lisa
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: Cook would better govern the economy, the framers rejected such a, quote,
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: promised land of technocratic governance. They instead chose government by
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: the people. As a court, our duty is not to
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: second guess that decision, but to uphold it. This is
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: why we love Justice Thomas. It's a government by the people.
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: The court shouldn't be second-guessing that. We should be upholding it.
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: Enough patronizing the American people and enough upending the wisdom
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: of the founders. Get back to basics. Get back to
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: the Constitution. That's the mandate. Clarence Thomas knows it. The
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: rest of these justices would do well to know it too.
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: And in fact, in a moment, I want to talk
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: to you about perhaps the biggest decision from yesterday, and
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: it involves America's elections. It's not a good decision. It's
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: a bad decision. It's about mail-in balloting. We'll get to
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: it in just a moment as we continue on this, well,
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: in many ways, a Supreme Court edition of Vince. Good

• 32:33
  Speaker 1: up in this infrared heat blanket. And it works. It's magic.
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: It's great. It's muscle recovery. It's detoxification. Total game changer.

• 33:41
  Speaker 1: from Fatty 15. What a game changer it's been for me.
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: In fact, it was a groundbreaking discovery. And it was
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: thanks to helping dolphins, if you can believe it's true.
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: That discovery is C15 from Fatty 15, the first essential
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: fatty acid identified in more than 90 years. Studies show

  Speaker 1: It helps support sleep quality, cognitive health, metabolism, and steady energy.

  Speaker 1: I've added fatty 15 to my routine, and it helps

• 35:08
  Speaker 1: All right, one more Supreme Court item for you that
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: I want to get to, and this is mail-in balloting.
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: The Supreme Court yesterday ruled that mail-in ballots can be
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: counted after freaking Election Day.
• 35:23
  Speaker 10: Now, what.
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: Election Day is supposed to be a day. It's not
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: supposed to be a week, a month, anything like that.
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: They say that states can continue to receive ballots after
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: Election Day, so long as they're postmarked by Election Day, allegedly.
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: But what does that mean for a state like California,
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: where people can handwrite a postmark? No Postal Service puts
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: it on there. You can handwrite a postmark on the envelope,
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: and that counts as having satisfied the requirement. Well, that's
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: a system that is ripe for fraud, ripe for fraud.
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: In fact, yesterday, Sam Alito, in his very good dissent
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: on this subject, said, ladies and gentlemen, Jimmy Carter told
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: us this. Fraud. Senator Eric Schmidt grabs this screen grab
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: from Sam Alito's opinion, where Sam Alito writes this. Today's
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: decision leaves open opportunities for voter fraud that may further
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: undermine America's faith in the integrity of this country's elections.
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: He goes on to say that diverse sources have recognized
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: that mail-in ballots increase the potential for fraud. In 2005,
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: a committee chaired by former President Jimmy Carter, hello, how
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: many times have I talked about this? And former Secretary
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: of State James Baker found that absentee voting was the
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: largest source of potential fraud in American politics. elections. He
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: said that, yeah, these mail-in ballots are key vectors for fraud.
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: He said it's not difficult to understand why. When someone
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: votes by mail, it's harder for officials to verify their identity. Well, yeah,
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: it's common sense. And common sense is also that you
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: shouldn't be able to send in a ballot after election day.
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: You should meet your obligations. Get it in on time
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: or you lose. Do we like kids turning mail-in ballots?
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: I mean, excuse me, do we like kids turning their
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: tests like days later, turning their term papers days later?
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: Is that like a thing? It shouldn't be. You're supposed
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: to meet your deadlines and your obligations, especially when you're
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: a kid, so that when you're an adult, you can
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: actually do it in things like, say, elections, things that
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: really matter. And also it matters to the public trust.
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: You have to be able to trust the result of
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: an election. And the way to do that is to
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: get every vote in by election day. None of this
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: days after the election. Also, to be clear, members of
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: the military, if they're deployed and they have to send
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: an absentee ballot in, those ballots should be sent to
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: them far enough in advance of election day that they
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: can get those ballots back in on time. We should
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: make extraordinary efforts to make sure the members of the
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: military can get those votes in. But a system that
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: allows any random citizen for any random reason to continue
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: to send in ballots after Election Day, that's a system
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: that's built for fraud. It's a total disaster. Alito's right.
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: And that brings us to Stephen Miller. I think it's
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: time for Miller time. Don't you think? It's Miller time.
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: Here we go.
• 38:40
  Speaker 11: Yes.
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: Yes, it's Miller time. Here's Stephen Miller yesterday singing Alito's
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: praises in this decision. Cut five.
• 38:46
  Speaker 5: Watch.
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: Well, look, let's just call it like it is.
• 38:50
  Speaker 7: Justice Roberts and Justice Barrett decided to cave to the
• 38:54
  Speaker 7: radical left. Alito was so clear in his wording about
• 38:59
  Speaker 7: what election day means. Nobody could read the statute, could
• 39:03
  Speaker 7: read that opinion, could read what Alito wrote and come
• 39:06
  Speaker 7: to any other conclusion. It's election day, not election week,
• 39:09
  Speaker 7: not election month, not election months. So this was really
• 39:12
  Speaker 7: a travesty and it underscores, Laura, why we have to
• 39:17
  Speaker 7: keep fighting to pass.
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: The Save America Act.
• 39:20
  Speaker 7: 80 million Americans elected a Republican Senate majority, and they
• 39:24
  Speaker 7: elected a Republican Congress to deliver on this fundamental priority.
• 39:28
  Speaker 7: It must get done.
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: Yep, he's totally right about that. And in fact, I'm
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: going to dive deep on that in just a moment.
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: But one more thing on this decision yesterday. The left
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: is gloating about it. They love it. Now, I'll remind
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: you that the left keeps on acting like this court
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: is completely illegitimate. It's a Trump court. It's a right-wing court.
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: Yet yesterday, Hakeem Jeffries reacted to the news that his
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: party can continue to have fraud when he said, Donald
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: Trump's efforts to rig the midterm elections was dealt a
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: big blow by the Supreme Court. He is having a
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: complete meltdown, said Hakeem Jeffries. That's funny because just a
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: short while ago, When the Supreme Court said you're not
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: allowed to draw districts in a racist way and rig
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: them for Democrats, Hakeem Jeffries said that the court was
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: illegitimate and it was a Trump court. Here, watch cut six.
• 40:20
  Speaker 11: Today's decision by this illegitimate Supreme Court majority strikes a
• 40:27
  Speaker 11: blow against the Voting Rights Act and is designed to
• 40:31
  Speaker 11: undermine the ability of communities of color all across this
• 40:34
  Speaker 11: country to elect their candidate of choice. But we're not
• 40:39
  Speaker 11: here to step back.
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: We're here to fight back.
• 40:42
  Speaker 11: Now, when this decision came out earlier today, it's an
• 40:48
  Speaker 11: unacceptable decision, but not an unexpected decision, because this isn't
• 40:55
  Speaker 11: even really the Roberts court. It's the Trump court.
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 41:01
  Speaker 11: And what we would expect from the Trump court is
• 41:04
  Speaker 11: an effort to continue their scheme to suppress the vote
• 41:10
  Speaker 11: and rig the midterm elections and beyond.
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: Because these extremists... They're extremists. They're rigging the election. It's
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: the Trump court. They're just doing his bidding. Well, then
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: what the hell was that? Dial-up Democrat, you slow-witted idiot.
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: This guy is straight up undermining the court all the time,
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: attacking its credibility, attacking that branch of the government. But
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: the second they release a decision that helps him rig elections,
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: he's praising them. This is great. They dunked on Trump.
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: So which one is it, you idiot? Hakeem Jeffries. Slow-witted
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: and poisonous. Absolutely poisonous. Now, Stephen Miller's right. This is
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: yet another reason to pass the Save America Act. And
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: the president's fighting for it. Yesterday, right after the decision
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: came down, he posted to Truth Social that we need
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: to have the Save America Act immediately. Immediately. And he's
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: calling out a lot of these Republican senators by name. Yesterday,
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: he called out Lisa Murkowski, Susan Collins, Thom Tillis, Bill Cassidy,
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: Mitch McConnell. He said, they're all getting in the way
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: right now. They've got to vote to save our country.
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: There can't be any more excuses. And as we speak, remember,
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: I told you to pay attention to Speaker Johnson. Speaker
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: Johnson has sent the housing bill, the bipartisan housing bill,
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: over to the president. The president said, I'm not signing
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: this thing. I want the Save America Act first. Yet
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: by virtue of sending it over, it starts at 10
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: day clock. excepting Sundays. We talked about this. And at
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: the end of that 10 days, if the president doesn't
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: sign it or veto it, it becomes law. Now, if
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: he vetoes it, the Congress can override his veto and
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: make it law anyway. And congressional Republicans are already saying,
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: we don't care if President Trump signs it or not,
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: or if he vetoes it, we're going to make it
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: law anyway. In case you're wondering how loyal they are
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: to the president's agenda, the agenda that got them the
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: majorities in the House and the Senate, yes, it's very frustrating.
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: But the president was asked yesterday, are you going to
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: sign this thing? What's going on with the housing bill?
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: And the president said, I'll tell you what, that legislation
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: is a yawn, a big yawn compared to the Save
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: America Act. Watch cut seven here. The housing bill, Mr. President.
• 43:25
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I think it's so unimportant by compared
• 43:30
  Speaker 2: to by compared to the Save America Act. I think
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: the Save America Act is exactly what it says. It's
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: saving America from crooked elections. And the housing bill is
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: a bill that can get approved. They worked on it.
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: Long and hard.
• 43:43
  Speaker 2: It's very bipartisan. That means the Democrats like it. I
• 43:49
  Speaker 2: think it's maybe even, it's probably maybe more that way.
• 43:56
  Speaker 2: They're getting things that I wouldn't necessarily agree to. Nobody
• 43:59
  Speaker 2: knows more than housing in the history of the presidency.
• 44:02
  Speaker 2: Nobody did well like me in housing. I made a
• 44:07
  Speaker 2: lot of money. I made a lot of money with housing.
• 44:11
  Speaker 2: But when I look at that bill, it's a bill.
• 44:15
  Speaker 2: But when I look at the Save America Act, it's
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: about saving America. And I'd like to have the Save
• 44:21
  Speaker 2: America Act added on. That's probably not going to happen
• 44:24
  Speaker 2: because we have four Republican senators, maybe five, that just
• 44:28
  Speaker 2: won't vote for it.
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: It's crazy.
• 44:31
  Speaker 2: Somebody voted for Lisa Murkowski. from Alaska. Nobody's done more
• 44:35
  Speaker 2: for Alaska than me. She's Trump deranged, what can I
• 44:40
  Speaker 2: tell you? But those four or five people that I
• 44:44
  Speaker 2: mentioned should vote. How do you vote against Save America?
• 44:48
  Speaker 2: How do you vote against it? How do you vote
• 44:50
  Speaker 2: against voter identification or proof of citizenship? The only people
• 44:55
  Speaker 2: that would vote against that are people that are going
• 44:57
  Speaker 2: to cheat in an election. The Democrats need it. Because
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: their policy is so bad. They want open borders. They
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: want high taxes. They want terrible medical, anything medical. I'm
• 45:10
  Speaker 2: the one that did favored nations. I'm reducing drug prices
• 45:13
  Speaker 2: by 200, 300, 400 percent. Nobody even talks about it.
• 45:17
  Speaker 2: The news doesn't talk about it. The Democrats are opposed
• 45:20
  Speaker 2: to it. If they get into office, they'll put it back.
• 45:23
  Speaker 2: Your drug prices are going to go up by 100%. 200, 300, 400,
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: 500 percent.
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: You know that. But will you sign that housing bill?
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: I have not yet.
• 45:31
  Speaker 2: It hasn't been sent to me yet.
• 45:33
  Speaker 4: It's coming, I understand.
• 45:34
  Speaker 7: And then I'll make it.
• 45:35
  Speaker 2: Then I'll make it. Here's what I would like to sign.
• 45:38
  Speaker 2: Much more than a bill, a big deal.
• 45:41
  Speaker 4: It's a yawn.
• 45:43
  Speaker 2: Some people say it's wonderful. To me, compared to the
• 45:47
  Speaker 2: Save America Act, just about everything is a big yawn.
• 45:52
  Speaker 8: And this is.
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: The Save America Act. Look, that's the big enchilada. That's
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: the thing we need. That's the biggest thing of all.
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: Everybody's acting like we've got these other priorities. Oh, we
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: got to do this.
• 46:05
  Speaker 10: We got to do that.
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: No, you have to do the Save America Act. What
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: part of we're demanding you fix our elections did you
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: not understand? What part was confusing to you? What part
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: is confusing to you about how it is that you
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: obtain power, how you obtain majorities? in the House and
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: the Senate, and how you retain them. What part is
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: so confusing to you? Now, this is creating, again, which
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: I love, this is just creating so much chaos on
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: Capitol Hill. And it can only happen because of pressure
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: from both the grassroots and the president of the United States.
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: It's just, there's so much pressure being placed on Congress
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: right now from both directions. And I'm hoping that pressure
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: creates a real diamond. I hope we can get something
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: great out of this. I hope so. Because, you know,
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: we desperately need it. Now, Mike Johnson was apparently at
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: the White House yesterday, the Speaker of the House, and
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: he spent hours there, hours at the White House, trying
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: to convince the powers that be, I would assume that
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: includes the President of the United States, that the only
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: way to get this thing through, the Save America Act,
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: is through reconciliation. Reconciliation. Now, you and I have been
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: over this a million times. Mike Lee has been over
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: this a million times. Reconciliation is not a vehicle for this.
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: But I want you to be attentive to the game
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: that he's playing here because he's making out this case that, oh,
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: we're going to establish a fund. We're going to make
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: a fund. And then with this fund, if the left
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: wants to use it, they'll have election integrity. And notice
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: the conditional there that we have to rely on, as
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: he says, blue states coming to their senses in order
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: to get election integrity in blue states. Do you think
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: that's going to work out? This entire scheme would be
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: dependent on blue states coming to their senses? Here's what
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: Mike Johnson just said last week. I saw the pieces
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: of this plan coming together. We talked about it at
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: the time. Watch this.
• 48:01
  Speaker 9: He's laser focused on Save America Act, as most common
• 48:04
  Speaker 9: sense Americans are. The only path, I think, to get
• 48:07
  Speaker 9: that done, because you're never going to get seven Democrats
• 48:09
  Speaker 9: to join 53 Republicans in the Senate to do that.
• 48:11
  Speaker 9: They will not do it. Chuck Schumer will never vote
• 48:14
  Speaker 9: for that or release any Democrat to do it. You
• 48:17
  Speaker 9: have to put it on a reconciliation bill. We believe
• 48:19
  Speaker 9: that if you create a grant program that ties it
• 48:22
  Speaker 9: to reconciling the budget and you allow blue states, if
• 48:25
  Speaker 9: they come to their senses and they want to avail
• 48:26
  Speaker 9: themselves of election integrity proposals and ideas and policies, they
• 48:31
  Speaker 9: can draw down from a federal fund and use those funds.
• 48:35
  Speaker 9: We're willing to invest heavily in that. And House Republicans
• 48:39
  Speaker 9: will put together a reconciliation bill, Reconciliation 3.0, that will
• 48:42
  Speaker 9: have that. I talked the President through that in detail
• 48:44
  Speaker 9: this morning, as I have in the past, and he said,
• 48:47
  Speaker 9: can we do it? I said, we can't. If the
• 48:49
  Speaker 9: Republicans will stand together, we're on the line right now
• 48:51
  Speaker 9: to defend it.
• 48:52
  Speaker 3: Hold on.
• 48:53
  Speaker 9: So that's what we're going to do. The president said,
• 48:56
  Speaker 9: I want to see some progress on it. I said,
• 48:57
  Speaker 9: I'd love to show it to you. We had a
• 48:58
  Speaker 9: meeting today. We had some more coming up. And so
• 49:01
  Speaker 9: he decided, and I didn't announce it. I wanted him
• 49:03
  Speaker 9: to announce it. But we're delaying this. As you know,
• 49:05
  Speaker 9: he has a window of time before he has to
• 49:07
  Speaker 9: sign a bill. And he's going to use a little
• 49:09
  Speaker 9: bit more of that window of time. And we're going
• 49:11
  Speaker 9: to go through this together. Now, the housing bill is
• 49:13
  Speaker 9: a great product. Because this guy right here fought like
• 49:16
  Speaker 9: a warrior poet to defend our principles.
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: I got to be honest with you. It just feels
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: like a scam. I'd love for Speaker Johnson to prove
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: me wrong. It feels like a total scam. A pool
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: of funding that blue states can access if they want
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: election integrity. Why the hell would they want election integrity?
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: I mean, what are you feeding us here? It seems
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: like a line. Mike Lee is saying it's garbage. And
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: he goes, I don't know who told Mike Johnson this
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: will work. It's not going to work. It ain't going
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: to work. He goes, I don't know who is convinced.
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: This is Mike Lee yesterday, late yesterday. I don't know
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: who convinced Speaker Johnson on this point. There's no way
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: in heck the Save America Act passes the Byrd Rule.
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: It's non-budgetary. That's why the only viable options include either
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: attaching it to a must-pass bill or using the talking filibuster. Now,
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: I have a suspicion about what played out yesterday. Speaker
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: Johnson was trying to tell the president, hey, we're going
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: to try and do all this, and then it's not
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: going to pass the Byrd rule because a lot of
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: it's not budgetary or whatever. And therefore, the parliamentarian is
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: going to rule against us and say, hey, it doesn't
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: satisfy the rule. And this is why the president is
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: joining in on the efforts to fire the Senate parliamentarian. Now,
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: it may very well be that this woman should be
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: fired from her job. She was picked by Harry Reid.
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: It seems like the Senate should have somebody who they
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: really have a lot of faith in. The Republicans should
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: tap a parliamentarian who can run the business. But the
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: key is they've just got to adhere to the actual
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: rules of the Senate. And some of these rules in
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: the Senate are so stupid that they need to be
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: changed anyway. But the president yesterday made a big push
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: to say that the Senate parliamentarian needs to be canned.
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: And I suspect this is the product of his conversations
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: with Mike Johnson and and thinking that they're gonna be
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: able to ram this thing through the reconciliation. Again, the
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: whole thing feels like a con. It isn't a genuine
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: attempt to take it to the floor of the Senate,
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: debate it and pass it as real legislation, which needs
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: to happen. This is the thing you and I have
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: been asking for. Do your freaking jobs, stand on your
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: own two feet and pass this as a real bill.
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: Make your case. But here's the president yesterday saying the
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: parliamentarian needs to be fired. Cut nine, watch.
• 51:36
  Speaker 2: The parliamentarian? What were you asking about?
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, have you talked with Thune about?
• 51:43
  Speaker 3: I have.
• 51:43
  Speaker 2: No, I can't imagine why you'd keep a woman that
• 51:45
  Speaker 2: was put there by Harry Reid and Barack Hussein Obama.
• 51:48
  Speaker 2: I cannot understand it. The leader has the right to
• 51:53
  Speaker 2: fire the person at will and put somebody else there.
• 51:56
  Speaker 2: That could be because we get so many negative rulings
• 51:58
  Speaker 2: from her. the parliamentarian. She's been there for years, and
• 52:03
  Speaker 2: she was put there by Harry Reid and Barack Hussein Obama.
• 52:07
  Speaker 2: Harry Reid was a bad guy, and he was the leader,
• 52:10
  Speaker 2: and he put her, and the Speaker has the right
• 52:13
  Speaker 2: to immediately fire her and put somebody else there, and
• 52:15
  Speaker 2: it's not even believable that she's still there. She's obviously
• 52:19
  Speaker 2: a good politician.
• 52:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: Now, by the way, I saw there's a talking point
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: going around. So I got some comments on it yesterday.
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: There's a claim, and it pops up every time this
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: reconciliation stuff comes up. There's a claim that Obamacare was
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: passed by reconciliation. So why can't we do this with
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: other laws? Obamacare was not passed by reconciliation. Obamacare was
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: passed with an actual supermajority. They got the 60 votes
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: to pass Obamacare, unfortunately. They did make changes to Obamacare
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: through reconciliation later on. which it seems like a total
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: abuse of the reconciliation process for sure, no question whatsoever.
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: But Obamacare is originally passed with an actual vote through
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: regular order in the United States Senate. And that was
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: a big betrayal. And we saw this week, of course,
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: that there's massive amounts of fraud in Obamacare that the
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: Trump administration is addressing. But I just wanted to bring
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: up that talking point in case you run into it
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: in the wild, just so you have a complete grasp
• 53:15
  Speaker 1: of what's going on here. But fine, fire the Senate parliamentarian.
• 53:19
  Speaker 1: I think the president makes a perfectly decent argument for it.
• 53:22
  Speaker 1: But I still think that's fundamentally in service of a
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: fool's errand, which is attempting to pass this thing to reconciliation,
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: when you should be passing it through regular order. Make
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: your case. The Civil Rights Act didn't have the support
• 53:34
  Speaker 1: it needed to get through until they actually engaged real
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: debate on the Senate floor. Do it again for this
• 53:41
  Speaker 1: civil rights bill, the Save America Act. It should be done.
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: There's also some other ideas on how to pass this.
• 53:49
  Speaker 1: Anna Paulina Luna wants to attach it to the defense bill. Now,
• 53:54
  Speaker 1: in Washington, I'm going to let you in on a secret.
• 53:57
  Speaker 1: In Washington, they have a view on some of this legislation.
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: They say these are must-pass. They refer to certain things
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: as must-pass, which is an abusive phrasing because nothing that
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: you want is must-pass. It's the normal stuff that they
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: get to every year, and then they jam a bunch
• 54:17
  Speaker 1: of pork into that has nothing to do with actually
• 54:20
  Speaker 1: the underlying point. So for instance, the National Defense Authorization Act,
• 54:24
  Speaker 1: the NDAA, defense spending, every year is must pass, must pass,
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: we got to do this. And then they load it
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: up with all sorts of nonsense that has nothing to
• 54:31
  Speaker 1: do with defense, or it's just enriches people that shouldn't
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: be enriched. Okay. And then there's FISA reauthorization, the surveillance
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: powers of the government, must pass, must pass. And here's
• 54:42
  Speaker 1: the thing I'm trying to get through the thick skulls
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: of the United States Senate. The American people consider the
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: Save America Act to be must pass. They're like, well,
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: that gets in the way of our must pass legislation.
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: This is the must pass legislation. Why is it so
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: hard to understand this? Anna Paulina Luna realizes that the
• 55:03
  Speaker 1: Congress wants to get this NDAA through. And so she's
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: come up with an idea. I'm going to attach the
• 55:08
  Speaker 1: Save America Act to the NDAA. She's put forward an
• 55:12
  Speaker 1: amendment for voter ID and proof of citizenship to be
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: included in the NDAA as Amendment 1388. She once again
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: says it's not even possible to add Save America to reconciliation.
• 55:28
  Speaker 1: It would fail miserably with the Byrd rule. She says,
• 55:31
  Speaker 1: House leadership has direct decision-making authority over whether or not
• 55:34
  Speaker 1: this will be added to the NDAA. The idea that
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: this can't be done, false. And if there's going to
• 55:40
  Speaker 1: be a request for my vote on the rule, they
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: need to allow this to come to the floor. So
• 55:44
  Speaker 1: now Anna Paulina Luna is going to bat for, I'm
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: going to attach this to something that you can't avoid.
• 55:50
  Speaker 1: You need to pass this, don't you? You want to. Now,
• 55:56
  Speaker 1: we'll see what happens because already Senate Republican leaders are
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: apparently saying, although anonymously, that they would kill the NDAA
• 56:07
  Speaker 1: to prevent the Save America Act from passing.
• 56:09
  Speaker 6: What?
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: Oh, my word. Here is Meredith Lee Hill, a reporter
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: for Politico. She said that Speaker Johnson was at the
• 56:20
  Speaker 1: White House talking Save America Act strategy today, as he
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: was yesterday, amid these demands from Representative Luna to attach
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: it to the defense spending bill. Quote, the only way
• 56:30
  Speaker 1: to get that to the president's desk, we've been shown
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: many times, is to put it on a reconciliation bill,
• 56:34
  Speaker 1: Johnson said when he returned to the Capitol. She writes,
• 56:37
  Speaker 1: Republican leaders have been scrambling to see whether they could
• 56:40
  Speaker 1: merv the Save America Act, that's just an expression for
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: force it in, with the NDAA after it passes the House,
• 56:50
  Speaker 1: which Senate Republican leaders are warning will kill the massive
• 56:54
  Speaker 1: defense policy bill. What does that tell you? If they
• 56:59
  Speaker 1: can't get the votes in the Senate to pass a
• 57:01
  Speaker 1: defense bill because election integrity is attached to it, what
• 57:06
  Speaker 1: the hell does that tell you? It tells you that
• 57:09
  Speaker 1: Democrats are only interested in election fraud and Republicans don't
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: have the testicular fortitude to do the right thing, even
• 57:17
  Speaker 1: if it's attached as an appendage to defense spending. This
• 57:24
  Speaker 1: is a frustrating fight.
• 57:25
  Speaker 3: I know.
• 57:25
  Speaker 1: I know it's frustrating. Trust me. But the fact that
• 57:29
  Speaker 1: we have these guys in an utter tizzy about how
• 57:31
  Speaker 1: to handle us is a very good sign. It's a
• 57:34
  Speaker 1: very good sign. It's a sign that you are winning.
• 57:36
  Speaker 1: And it's a sign that the president's bully pulpit is
• 57:38
  Speaker 1: having an effect. Where's it going to go from here?
• 57:41
  Speaker 1: It's anybody's guess. But we'll keep track of the details.
• 57:45
  Speaker 1: I always do.
• 57:46
  Speaker 3: You know that.
• 57:46
  Speaker 1: The Save America Act. Truly, I don't know that there's
• 57:50
  Speaker 1: any show that's pushed harder or dived deeper into the
• 57:53
  Speaker 1: details than we have. And I think that's of value.
• 57:57
  Speaker 1: But holy cow. Anna Paulina Luna, we're good for her.
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: I'm glad she's in the fight. I hope she succeeds. Now,
• 58:04
  Speaker 1: one more thing before we check out today. Yesterday, I
• 58:08
  Speaker 1: issued a warning note about the DHS Secretary Mark Wayne Mullen.
• 58:11
  Speaker 1: I was very concerned about his language over the weekend
• 58:14
  Speaker 1: involving Haitian migrants who were previously protected by temporary protected status,
• 58:20
  Speaker 1: but now have to go. You got to go home.
• 58:22
  Speaker 1: You're done. It's way past your time. Go home. He
• 58:25
  Speaker 1: said this weekend, well, if they want to stay, there's
• 58:27
  Speaker 1: a couple of options. They can apply for legal permanent
• 58:29
  Speaker 1: residence or maybe get a visa. And you're like, whoa, whoa, whoa,
• 58:31
  Speaker 1: wait a second. Why are you saying this on national television?
• 58:33
  Speaker 1: What are you doing exactly? And so if you'd like
• 58:37
  Speaker 1: more Miller time, we have more Miller time because Stephen
• 58:40
  Speaker 1: Miller had to clean all of this up. More Miller
• 58:42
  Speaker 1: time ahead.
• 58:43
  Speaker 8: Thank you.
• 58:53
  Speaker 1: Thank you. I love the Miller time graphic. If you're
• 58:55
  Speaker 1: hearing the audio, you should see the Miller time graphic.
• 58:57
  Speaker 1: It's hilarious. Josh put it together for us. Here's Stephen
• 59:00
  Speaker 1: Miller cleaning up Mark Wayne Mullen's mess. Cut 10. Watch.
• 59:04
  Speaker 10: What's your message then? Because it got confused. We don't
• 59:06
  Speaker 10: have to play it with Mark Wayne Mullen over the weekend.
• 59:08
  Speaker 10: He came out on a Sunday show. and said you
• 59:10
  Speaker 10: got to go home or you have to apply for
• 59:12
  Speaker 10: legal status. I mean, Magaland and yours truly went kind of,
• 59:17
  Speaker 10: you know, nuclear on that. But what really is going
• 59:21
  Speaker 10: to happen here? Can you apply while you're here as
• 59:23
  Speaker 10: a TPS person?
• 59:25
  Speaker 7: So Secretary Mullen was simply saying, and I'm glad for
• 59:27
  Speaker 7: the chance to talk about that, he was simply saying
• 59:30
  Speaker 7: what is true for everybody in this country here, illegally
• 59:32
  Speaker 7: or otherwise, which is you can always go to a
• 59:34
  Speaker 7: website and submit an application. But the reality is that
• 59:37
  Speaker 7: illegal aliens from Haiti are overwhelmingly ineligible for any immigration
• 59:42
  Speaker 7: benefit in the United States. They're public charges. They're public
• 59:44
  Speaker 7: safety threats. They have no legal status. They have no visa.
• 59:48
  Speaker 7: So all Mark Wayne is saying is what has always
• 59:50
  Speaker 7: been true. which is that we have specific visas, specific
• 59:53
  Speaker 7: eligibility criteria. In theory, of course, anyone can apply for anything.
• 59:57
  Speaker 7: But I want to be clear in saying to your audience,
• 59:59
  Speaker 7: they have no right to be here. They don't belong here.
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 7: Biden flew them here unconstitutionally. And President Trump's going to
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 7: make sure that we send them home. And again, Haitians
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 7: can build up Haiti for other Haitians.
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 1: Let me tell you what that was. That was a
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 1: cleanup operation. Stephen Miller was very good at that. And
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 1: Mark Wynne Mullen should be very grateful that he did that.
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 1: He owes him one. He owes him one. And I
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 1: always owe you one. Thank you so much for being here.
• 1:00:27

• 1:01:36
  Speaker 8: effect in this midterm. You've heard it yourself. Act like
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 8: I'm on the ballot. Why is he saying that? You
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 8: think he doesn't know what he's doing? That is the
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 8: X factor. Folks, elections are a math issue.
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 1: That is it.
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 8: This is not a football game.
