Join us at secureAI now. org to learn more. paid for by the Alliance for Secure AI. Yesterday, the Supreme Court of the United States upheld birthright citizenship. and that is a legal abomination. It's legally wrong That does not mean that America is doomed to a future of open immigration In fact, we can fix this And we have to fix this Actually, we have branches of government designed to fix this. They are called the executive and the legislative branches of government. And what's more, we may not even be done at the judicial level. We actually don't need a constitutional amendment to fix all of this. We'll get into all of that plus another communist series of wins in Colorado The left's latest hot takes on manhood. this is the Ben Shapiro showh So here's the quick recap from yesterday's big Supreme Court decision And if you want the full breakdown of the Supreme Court's birthright citizenship case. You should listen to the hour and a half breakdown on yesterday's show all of the judicial decisions as they came in. It was like three hundred pages, read them about forty five minutes and give you the full breakdown. so check out Yesterday's Here is the actual finding in a six three decision that's really kind of five, four because Justice Kavanaugh had some quibbles with the majority. Basically the finding is this The citizenship clause of the Constitution's fourteenth Amendment says, quote All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside. And The question in the case was what does subject to the jurisdiction thereof mean is a superfluous clause, meaning if you're born in the U.S, you're automatically a citizen, or does it mean something different? Well, the court found that basically it was kind of superfluous You are a citizen if you're born in the United States, unless you're the kid of a foreign ambassador or something And the majority said that that was rooted in a British citizenship idea called Juse Soie, Law of the soil, which goes all the way back to revolutionary days. The Supreme Court essentially found that aside from a brief period after the passage of the fourteenth Amendment, When Congress and the courts seemed to say that you had to have what's called domicile, meaning America had to be your home in order to be a citizen, J solely was the actual rule A bunch of dissent. They're led by Justice Thomas and Alito And they said that you actually had to have domicile in the US. It's not just enough to be born here you and your parents couldn't owe allegiance to a foreign power or be governed by the law of a foreign power. So if you are a Chinese citizen and you temporarily come here for five minutes and you drop a baby, the baby isn't an American citizen because you actually have allegiance to the government of China and you are subject to the laws. of China. By the way, we should note that everyone except for Thomas basically agreed. evenven if you were a child of an illegal immigrant Theoretically still The citizen, right Thomas was the one who sort of disagreed on that proposal that said, the majority is clearly wrong and clearly wrong And there's been a long line of scholarship on all of this and the majority decision is is twisting the history, I believe And there's some people who think this is kind of a close call legally. I actually don't think it's close call. Lgally When the Supreme Court says that there is basically nothing you can do about the four point six million illegal immigrants born in the USA Ch children F currently here, that's a problem It's not constitutionally correct. Given political considerations, what it actually means is that you probably can't do anything about their parents either Theoretically another four point two million people You're talking about nine million people who you can't do anything about. now. again We should know that those kids were born in the U.S. For the last hundred and forty years, under American policy, likely would have been considered citizens anyway You're really talking about their parents are now being given sort of expedited citizenship or certainly immunity from deeportment because of their kids And this is an increasing problem, obviously did a study of American births in twenty twenty three. and it found Almost one in ten births in the United States was to an immigrant illegal immigrant mother It's about three hundred twenty thousand babies every year And if the court had ruled the other way, about two hundred sixty thousand of those babies would not have qualified for birthright citizenship. The number of illegal immigrants moreore than tripled, of course, between nineteen ninety and two thousand seven And the number of births also tripled from about one hundred twenty thousand in nineteen ninety to a peak of about three hundred eighty thousand in two thousand six He So, obviously this is a major decision and has a major impact. President Trump was very upset about it yesterday, as he has a right to be He put out a truth saying I would like to congratulate President Xi and the great country of China And their massive birthright citizenship win And the idea here is that China is engaging in birth tourism, which of course, is true. They are doing that Orers are Tom Homan went off on the Court's decision yesterday. But on the national security issue, let's just play that out, Tom, right You've got these Chinese birth tourism centers A kid could be born here, taken back to China raaised under the Chinese Communist Party with that education system and then have American citizenship to come back with those beliefs and run for the highest offices in the land and have power here in America. Is that right That's absolutely right. I think it's one of the biggest national security issues we're facing right now. Under Biden administration, the open border was a huge national security issue. But this year is equally important. That's why I was very disappointed at today's decision. And that's why I agreed President Trump Congress needs to get on this right away as Speaker Mike John said, yesterday there's no question that birthright citizenship has been grossly abused over time I do think that This has been grossly abused in recent years, okay And that is the case that was being made by plaintiffs in the case and We arere very sympathetic to that because it is a serious problem. We have you know it's become a tourism, birthing tourism, they call it, you know, a trend where people would just come and you just come onto the soil and have your child and then they're able to avail themselves of the welfare state and everything else. It's been abused Now Democrats, of course, were extremely excited about the decision because their goal is in fact birth tourism, it is in fact dropping babies across the American border in order create demographic change in the United States. Brandon Johnson, the mayor of Chicago was very enthusiastic yesterday It was one of our nation's clearest declarations that citizenship is not determined by race, ancestry, or where you come from. For generations, the promise has affirmed something bigger than legal status. It has affirmed that every child born here belongs here. Our city joined a coalition of one hundred and six jurisdictions across twenty six states in speaking out against the administration's baseless attempt to dismantle birthright citizenship. Today's decision allows our residents to continue to live, work, and contribute to the fabric of our city without fear of losing their most fundamental rights proud to have stood in defense of the health, safety, and dignity of our communities. No families should have to wonder whether their child's place in this country can be taken away. Tom Pier, who of course despises the United States and loves all of America's enemies He put out a tweet saying America remains America This would have fundamentally changed the country for the worse again He is a beneficiary of birthright citizenship because he was born in America and then he grew up in Turkey and owed his allegiance to Turkey, presumably. And then he came back to the United States later in life And and is here to undermine us. He says this would have fundamentally changed the country for the worse and ushered in an era where Trump could change one hundred year established constitutional precedent. By executive order in ways that would destroy citizenship This was our modern Nuremberg race Loss moment. No, it certainly was not. That is really, really stupid. but of course What else do you expect from the Cartier commommunist who spent most of his early formative years in Turkey. Hey so I get it. I get everybody who's depressed about this decision even largely agree on an emotional level. It seems like yet another massive roadblock to the enforcement of our border, and it definitely is. It's not the end of the story. In fact, it's not even the beginning of the end of the story In order to understand what we can do and should do, we have to understand what went wrong with immigration in the United States. And the answer primarily is not Supreme Court decisions. It really is not Wang Kim Arc in eighteen ninety eight or even the Supreme Court's decision yesterday. What went wrong with immigration in the United States is the elected branches of government. It is legislative and executive policy Over the course of decades Our legislators and our presidents let in. Tens of millions of people who should not be in the country That needs to stop And some of it needs to reverse. In a second, we'll get to the history of American immigration policy and where it all broke down, where it all fell apart. But here is the thing. you need great cell phone service that doesn't fall apart on you. You know, cell phone service that actually has a great tower network and that has great customer service and all the rest. and only one Wireless company in America earn five out of five stars in every single category.

Puretalk dot com slash Shapiro So let's start with a question weone want to understand America's immigration policy. Where exactly? do you think America's immigration policy broke So this is a chart eighteen fifty on showing. the number of immigrants and their share of the U. S. total population So as you can see The percentage of Immigrants in the United States, percentage of immigrants is a percentage of the total U. S. population eighteen fifty So essentially nineteen thirty. was well nth of ten percent like quite high. Very few people think about immigration in that period as breaking America It obviously created significant social problems We watch gangs of New York, which is largely about immigration problems. Nobody tends to think. of that period in American life between eighteen fifty and nineteen thirty as a time that wrecked America, what America was. And then of course, the share of immigrants as a percentage of the US population radically dropped between nineteen thirty and essentially nineteen seventy And then It spiked again He so, if you look at the immigrant share of the U.S. population The answer about nine point seven in eighteen fifty. percent of the American population. was immigrant In eighteen ninety, it was all the way up at almost fifteen percent. And again, people don't tend to think of this as like a bad time for America because of immigration Yes, there were social concerns, but overall In retrospect, we don't see this as a time when America was quote unquote, being hollowed out And then from nineteen thirty. O that percentage declined radically from well north of ten percent downown to four point seven percent in nineteen seventy And now it is spiked up again to about fourteen percent as of twenty twenty two Okay, so what exactly changed? Be again, we tend to think of immigration as a massive problem now. We don't te to think of immigration as a massive problem in say, nineteen hundred when the percentage was about the same So what exactly happened? OkayK, so we need a quick history lesson here on the nature of American immigration. What changed is the nature of American immigration, not this year number The nature Hey, so I show you a series of charts showing the origin of where these immigrants were coming from and what changed over time. So Remember America is a land of people who came to settle They came to settle unsettled wilderness And they came from Europe in large measure, and there were no welfare programs. They didn't come here to take advantage of existent welfare programs that did not move from a country where they had no welfare to a country with welfare They didn't move in many cases from a richer country to a from a poorer country to a richer country In many cases, they are moving from a richer country to a poorer country I mean, if you were moving from the UK to the United States in eighteen fifty In some cases, you are moving from a richer area to a poorer area like the Utah Terrior or the Oregon territory. So in eighteen fifty, The top five foreign warn populations. whereere Ireland, Germany, the UK, Canada and France, right? All European And as you can see, the east Coast was largely Irish population The Midwest. was German. And then if you moveved down over to the west, the Northwest was British UK, Scottish, presumably And then the southwest was Mexican because that territory had only recently been integrated into the United States Okay, move forward to eighteen sixty You can see Move forward to H and eight And you can see that the pattern remains the same, except for massive Chinese immigration onto the West Coast But even that massive Chinese immigration onto the West cooast was not top five in terms of foreign born population. So once again, in eighteen eighty when you had a very serious percentage of Americans who were immigrants By eighteen eighty, you were talking well into the double digits. The top five foreborn populations were Germany, Ireland, UK, Canada, and Sweden Right So Move forward again Now nineteen ten Okay so you can see In nineteen ten The top five foreignborn populations are now Germany, Russia, Ireland, Italy, and the UK. So Italy and Russia have been added to this chart. Russian immigrants L large number of those are Jewish immigrants coming from Russia Hey but. As you can see, still European immigrants, including Pennsylvania, Austria was actually the number one source of immigrants It's largely European immigrants, again, except for the South West, like New Mexico, Arizona, and Texas, all of which Mexican immigration is still the number one source of immigration Okay, now, check this out, move forward to nineteen ninety. Things have shifted quite a bit It turns out that number one with a bullet is Mexico Huge. Huge percentage Imigrant are now coming from Mexico Four point two six million immigrants in nineteen ninety are from Mexico The next highest number is zero point nine one to nine hundred ten thousand people The Philippines You may notice that neither of those countries is European seven hundred forty thousand from Canada seven hundred forty thousandars from Cuba.? This is the Cuban migration into Florida that's happening And then Germany clocking in at a very low number five So the source of the immigration is radically shifted And now move forward to twenty twenty two And what you can see is that the entire country blanket it with immigrants from India, China, Philippines, Elalvador, and Mexico in twenty twenty two Top five foreborn populations by country of origin. ten point six million. Imigrants from Mexic two point eight three million immigrants from Iia, two point two three million from China twoo point zero one from Philippines, and one point four two from El Salvador So again, that is a giant shift in the nature of the places from which people are coming. because to pretend that Gigantic numbers of Mexican immigrants is going to be the same as gigantic numbers of, say German Irish or British immigrant That's silly Same thing for India, same thing for China. And that is not a case against any individual immigrant. It is just a fact When you import large numbers of people from cultures that don't cohere as well. to the core culture of the United States, which is an Anglo Protestant culture from the beginning. And it's going to be harder to integrate those people And when you add on top of that the fact From the very beginning Our immigration programs were rooted in the idea that there was no welfare. You came here, and that was a self selecting group. You came here For the adventure, you came here because you wanted a better life Not because you wanted welfare benefits And once you add welfare benefits on top, the kinds of people who are coming here change I mean, this is the difference between you open a Michelin star bakery. Your clientele is going to be a certain type of person And then if you open a donoughnut shop and you put in the window free donoughuts, that's going to be a different type of person who shows up. to the Doughnut traop Q quite the same thing We're going to get to the history of immigration in a second to see where we went wrongs. It's really important to determine how we get things back on track But first, as we've been saying, America celebrates its two hundred fiftieth birthday. this year, you're going hear a lot about our founding principles like life and liberty and the pursuit of happiness, but Human life must be protected even before it is born Unborn children deserve protection Any moment now, my wife is going to give birth And when that happens, The baby that emerges is going to be the same as it is right now in her tummy It is the same baby. It is the same human It is the same wife This is why the work of preborn matters so much. When a mom sees her baby and hears that tiny heartbeat for the first time, her baby is twice as likely to be given the gifts of life because every child who is born has the potential to shape the future of the country We're talking future parents, teachers, entrepreneurs, members of the military first responders But it's not just that. Human life is sacred and human life in the womb is just as sacred. Will you help? Just twenty eight dollars provides one lifeif saaving ultrasound in honor of America's two hundred fifteth birthday. We're asking friends to prayfully consider a special gift of two hundred fifty bucks to help save even more lives. Donate. D pound two hundred fifty c say keyword baby that's pound two hundred fifty baby or get secureityly at prebornot com slash shapiro Every gift is tax deductible And again, if you look at the history of American immigration You can see why these sort of dips happen Why there was a gigant wave immigration and then a dip The dips happen because of congressional action. It is not as though Congress has not acted before. in eighteen eighty two. Congress passed what was called the Chinese Exclusion Act Again, if you go back to that eighteen eighty chart. for a second What you can see in the eighteen eighty chart that you did not see in any prior chart is the entire West cooast California, Nevada Oregon Washington, Idaho The number one source of immigration was China. And this created concerns in Congress. So in eighteen eighty two, they passed the Chinese Exclusion Act, which actually barred Chinese laborers from entering the United States for ten years, and then was later extended and it barred Chinese immigrants from naturalization entirely. And then Thanks to the inccredible uptick in immigrants from Eastern and southern Europe Again, it's funny, because we tend to flatten all sources of immigration. Go to that chart in nineteen ten. And what you see in that chart in nineteen ten is A radical uptick in the number, for example, Italian immigrants Ireland, Italy and Russia These were then considered these sort of bizarre sources of new populations And so the Imigration Act of nineteen seventeen was passed And it created a barred zone extending from the Middle East to Southeast Asia from which no immigrants were permitted and instituted literacy tests for people who were coming into the country. In nineteen twenty one There's the emergency Quota Act which was the first federal law to set numerical limits on immigration. And basically the goal was to keep people coming at very low levels from countries we had already allowed into the country A lot of British, a lot of Irish, a lot of Germans, a lot of Italians etera And then in nineteen twenty four, the National Origins Act, the Immigration Act Tighten it still fur and intentionally barred immigrants fromou southern and Eastern Europe and ban virtually all immigration from Asia. And so you see a giant dive in the percentage of immigrants as a percentage of the American population between then and essentially nineteen sixty five. And then something seminal happens The nineteen sixty five Immigration and Nationality Act, and this act radically changes the nature of immigration in the United States. It's why you go from a bunch of European immigrants to a bunch of immigrants from places like El Salvador Mexico China Philippines and all the rest The nineteen sixty five Immigration and Nationality Act, which was pushed for by Senator Ted Kenny and Lindndon Baines Johson It repealed the quota system entirely That meant radical uptick of immigrants from Asia and Africa and Latin America and South America It had a no discrimination clause that said no person could be discriminated against in the issuance of any visa because of race, sex, nationality, place of birth or residence Hey before. There are kind of two types of visas, permanent visas and temporary visas. We had limits on temporary visas too. All those go away, essentially under the sixty five Immigration and Nationality Act It also created a seven year preference system designed to reunify families of U. S. citizens and legal residents This created massive illegal immigration Because there was a capap that was placed on Western hemisphere immigration But there was no guest worker program. So instead people just started crossing the border en masse and just staying Okay, add on top of this gigantic welfare systems that were created. LBJ's, great Society programs and the accessibility of those welfare systems to illegal immigrants. and again, now you have the free doughnut shop. You have people who are coming across the border because the benefits here are great. You get a better job but not just a better job. You also will have access to American systems There are some Supreme Court decisions. We want to talk about Supreme Court decisions that actually mattered when it comes to immigration One that was huge was Pller versus Doe in nineteen eighty two. That was a five four ruling. that states, Texas had a law. It said that if you are an illegal immigrant child, you could not access free public K through twelve education in Texas. And the court ruled that that violated the fourteenth Amendment's equal protection Cause So now You come across the border And you immediately get to enroll your children in a public school, in an American public school There are also rulings like Graham versus Richardson in nineteen seventy one which struck down state statutes, restricting welfare benefits solely to U. S. citizens or long term lawful residents. So if you came in And you were a short term Visa holder You were here for a year You could then get on welfare Congress also acted in order to ensure onn a humanitarian basis that basically, illegal immigrants could take advantage of our medical systems So Ronald Reigan signed into law in nineteen eighty six, the Eergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act. And you understand why, because basically the idea was you don't want somebody walking into the ER who's anillegal immigrant bleeding out from a bullet wound and there's no obligation to take care of them. But the unintended consequences of the law are pretty significant The EMTA LA requires hospitals with Medicare participating emergency rooms to provide a medical screening examination and necessary stabilizing treatment to everyone reggardless of citizenship, immigration status or ability to pay. So wantan to know why illegal immigrants now take up large shares of emergency rooms in places like California, that would be the reason And there are a bunch of other laws that were then interpreted to prohibit healthcare facilities from denying medical care on the basis of race, color, national origin, age or handicapp. Now, theoretically Those health carere facilities could discriminate on the basis of legal versus illegal status in reality, they just don't because they're afraid of discrimination lawsuits. And in the end, they figure the government will fill in the gaps or other patients will fill in the gaps. So now you have a system where people illegally immigrate to the United States Theyillegally immigr, they have access to our emmergency medical care, which increasingly just means medical care, more broadly speaking, they have access. to state welfare systems in many cases, like California They have access to public school systems. So literally tens of thousands of dollars in benefits And we shifted The entire cap system and quota system on national origin basis And so you have is a different group of people who want to get into the United States. And I don't blame them I mean, hell, everyone wants to get in. It's a great place the United States. But You will draw a different type of clientele, depending on whether you give the free Doughut trap or the Michelin Star Baz. It's two different things I mean, by the way, you'll draw a different type of clientele to a come in and bake your own donoughuts. with your own materials that you buy and for don nuts. which is actually better comparison Because in nineteen hundred, that was the case. Come here G government isn't gonna help We're just going to protect our private property rights You come here and you build This is why assimilation happened at a very, very high level in the United States in the early twentieth century and before When my great great grandparents got here in the very early twentieth century They spoke Yiddish and speak Engl And then very quickly, their kids learn to speak Engl And then they integrated into the economy. and then generation after generation, they lived better lives because they assimilated Anglo American traditions But when you change the math, when you pay people, when you give them free moneyies, they don't have to integrate, they don't have to assimilate by nature And you change the system pretending that all cultures are equally capable mass migration to the United States, you end up with the current system of immigration in the United States Hey, there are other judicial rulings, by the way, that made it nearly impossible to enforce immigration law if a Democrat was in office two in twenty twelve, for example, famous case, Arizona versus United States. That's when the Supreme Court ruled that federal law prevented essentially Arizona law from helping to enforce federal statutes. So the rule now on the federal level is that states Iignnore federal law or ence refuse to enforce federal law by calling themselves sanctuary states or cities. But if you want to enforce federal law, you can't do that The court nullified Arizona laws in twenty twelve that, for example, made it a crime for non citizens to carry federal registration documents or made it a crime for unauthorized immigrants to work. Okay, so what does all this mean You'll notice that in this entire litany of immigration history the vast majority of this action either Bad congressional action bad presidential action, like Joe Biden opening the border widely refusing to enforce immigration law or judicial actions that are likely reversible at the Supreme Court level today So there are a lot of solutions still on the table The black pilling, in other words, is actually counterproductive. So what is the solution? Let's talk about things we can actually do. One, you can enforce immigration law You can get rid of the possibility of government dependency for illegal immigrant R Those are the two things Get rid of the welfare incentiv and enforce immigration law Those are the two things. firstirst thing. Eforcing the law is the job of the executive branch. The second G getting rid of the welfare benefits is the job of the legislature and also the judiciary. So start with enforcing immigration laws that you don't need an invalidation of birthright citizenship in order to enforce immigration laws isillegal to illegally immigrate You can deort people before they have babies Temporary visas need to be widely curbed. About fifty percent of all illegal immigrants are not just crossing the Southern border They're coming on temporary visas and then overstaying Our enforcement mechanisms on temporary visas need to be significantly stronger Ab one million legal immigrants per year get in using work visas or family sponsored visas So go back to those numbers for a second where we are talking about percentage of the American people who are immigrants now If you look at that original chart, the one that shows sort of the line that the orange line and the blue line Right What you see is again, between nineteen seventy and twenty twenty two In twenty twenty four, a large spike in the percentage of American population that is immigrant Basically if you just got rid of the illegal immigration, forget about legal immigration for a second, which you can also curb. Talk about just illegal immigration. If you had curb that, That percentage would have stabilized in about nineteen ninety And right now you'd be in the eight to nine percent range, not in the fifteen plus percent range So if your borders are There would be a bunch of things you would do You would actually, you know, push for, yes, mass deportation of people who are involved in anything criminal. And that would include things like carrying around fake ID usingsing false social secur numbers. By the way, a huge majority of illegal immigrants have to do these things. And when it comes to visa tests for permanent visas We'd have to more carefully screen You'd have to share our values or come from a system that shares our values, wish to assimilate into American values on an individual level, be able to prove the first two. So if you're coming from a place where you can't prove it you shouldn't get in And you have to show that you're going to be of net economic benefit theited States. You're not to be a welfare draw. And when it comes to temporary visas, we would boot people as soon as the temporary visa has expired. We'd actually follow up, which we don't do right now And of course, we've shut the border It start deping people who are in the country illegally. and are welfare dependent and are engaged in illegal activity of any sort Again, you can start with the most egregious criminality and work your way down. One of the things you keep hearing is, while the states aren't participating with the federal government in identifying illegal immigrants for deportation. Cool story. you can actually, like the federal government, are you telling me the federal government has no capacity to look up the immigration status of the some tens of thousands of illegal immigrants in state prisons right now They can't look up the name and the immigration status. Is that impossible I feel like you could design an AI to do that and it would take about an hour The idea that you require The state governments to participate with you is not true And you could actually just look at criminal pleas and then immigration status and you could just go in and enforce the law. It's all public records And of course, we can crack down on birth tourism, which was the key issue with regard Birth right citizenship We can criminalize people who come to the US through birth tourism networks. In fact, the DOJ put out a memo on prosecution of birth tourism schemes literally yesterday We can change our travel regulations to prevent people from abroad traveling to the United States in the lateages of pregnancy. So if you're coming in six months pregnant, we should not give you a four month visa give you one monthiece and then kick your ass out. R These are things that we can do. None of this requires congressional action It's all encoded in American laaw. Already And then there's welfare If you're going to come in and be on welfare, you should not be able to come in And if you're on welfare You should be in line to get the boot Again, we actually do not require a congressional action here And on the judiciary in the level of the judiciary, we can actually get some action here. This court would likely overule Pllyo versus Doe You could probably get a majority on this court. Everybody probably not including Roberts, to rule that you do not have a fourteenth Amendment constitutional right to access public education as an illegal immigrant That would be a major, major thing It would And Congress could still do things with regard to birthright citizenship Justice Kavanaugh noted in his concurrence slash dissent He wrote quote, Congress could, consistent with the fourteenth Amendment amend the law or otherwise enact new legislation establishing exceptions to birthright citizenship for children born to foreign citizens, unlawully or temporarily in the country But Congress has not yet done so That's an open question R Trump went after birthright citizenship via executive order Kavanau says, no, no, there's legislation on the books that doesn't allow that, but you could have legislation that overrules it. Maybe we should try that I know there's systemic obstacles to things like congressional action, the filibuster. And I get the argument that's made by a lot of folks the filibuster otherwise, nothing will ever get done. As I've said before, I think that's a bad idea because once you break that glass you cannot unbreak that glass. And the same dumping of the filibuster that will allow you to ram through harsher immigration policy will allow Democrats to ram through an open border Bottom line is this Yes, the birthright citizenship decision is a really, really bad Supreme Court decision But if you are concerned about the radical shift in immigration in the country, the worst thing you can do is blackpill because that removes resesponsibility from the executive and the legislature. It basically says, oh the judiciary blew it for us. notothing we can do. I guess we're screwed now. That's not helpful Again, I get that you think the legislature is not going to do anything, but the executives still can and maybe the states can If the Supreme Ct overrules, for example, Lyer Here's the most important thing The most important thing Supreme Court'suling yesterday, which is a bad wrong ruling did not actually change the existing state of the law yesterday. They simply didn't do the right thing, which sucks. It's a blown opportunity But the answers are still there The president himself says this, by the way, here he was on truth yesterday. Well, The Supreme Court up held birthright citizenship which is too bad for our country, but we can easily make it up in Congress through legislation with the support of the president that has now been determined during this process No long and unwieldy constitutional amendment is necessary Congress should start today to work on ending expensive and unfair to our country birthrights citizenship, They'll have my complete and total support And he's not wrong about this Here is the thing for conservatives and Republicans Immigration remains a winning issue Because it is not that Democrats are so in love with the concept of birthright citizenship, it is that they are in favor of open borders. if they were just making the case that probably Amy Cy Barrett or Justice Roberts might make. The birthright citizenship is the law of the land, but Congress, can do something and Congressional and executive policy can do something But that's not what Democrats are doing Democrats are celebrating because they want birthright citizenship to be the basis of mass migration. It's more on this in a moment. First, there's a point where enjoying goodood food starts feeling like a budgeting exercise. If find a restaurant you love, the bill arrives. you realize that trying a new restaurant has become a pretty serious financial commitment. That's one reason that Cook Unity caught my attention.

So yesterday be Mother of a Royola student from Chicago. was murdered by an illegal immigrant Thanks to sanctuary city policies. It name was Jessica Gorman Daughter was Sheridan Gorman., remember, this is a very fraght issue in the middle of the election cyle Democrats were having none of it because Demrats do not want to talk about cost illegal immigration Representative Famila Giapal head of the House Congressional prorogressive caaucus Here's what she had to say Unfortunately, this hearing is it's the fourth time in this committee that we've had a hearing on sanctuary cities. The fourth time And there's many other things that we could be doing other than this Oh, many, many other things, many other things. Well, Sheran Gorman's mother Jessica, said You know, I've noticed that you seem to not really care about what happened to my daughter I don't understand why it's only the Republican side that cares about our American children And I know that you're a mother. I know that you're a father. I deeply value that Basically what you just did, what you said was, I'm so sorry for your loss. I have a daughter too. I have a son. I feel your pain. You don't. You don't feel my pain. becausecause the next words out of your mouth were b There's no butt. When your child is in the coffin, there's no butt And I need you to understand that. And if you ever want to talk about it, I'm here, I'm going to buy you a bench. I'm gonna buy, I can put that on the record. I'm going to buy Congress the bench And they can come and sit and hold my hand and look me in the eye and explain to me why? Iillegal immigrants. are more important than my daughter Okay, well Democrats then reiterated that they kind of believe that illegal immigrants are more important than and her daughter Representative Mike Lawer and representative Jamie Raskin got into it because Raskin was basically giving short shrift to the mother The same outrage you feel about Renee Good and Alex Preredy chair about Shheridan Gormans and Lincoln Riley and every angel family in this country I do feel that outrage. You do not do Be if you did, do you support you you feel the outrage about Alex yourself. You should you be ashamed You don't belong this committee. You should get the hell out of disgrace. You don't understand the committace. You don't understand the constitut misterull of daceporting the whole. Say one word about. Get rid of about. I did. I wrote a whole New York Times op et about it. You should be absolutely yourself. mister sanctuary policies that resulted in their going Again, not a winning issue for Democrats here, not a winning issue. Ezra Kline over at the New York Times Fullon concedes to Chris Rufo that you know, all of the concerns about rapid demographic change through mass migration are not Unfair, not wrong, not racist There are people who just don't like the way their community is changing, and there's the KKK Right? Every exists on a spectrum. But would you say someone who is like, for example, hesitant about rapid large scale demographic change is just a kind of wonderful white nationalist. Yeah, because that would be like the majority of the country. Yes, I don't think it is a problem or unfair or even wrong to worry about large scale rapid demographic change That's correct But if Democrats pretend that it is, it's going to be a problem for them. Speaking of a problem for the Democrats So there was one good Supreme Court decision yesterday, which basically said that it turns out you don't have to have boys compete against girls in sports The media couldn't handle it Be the legacy media are of course the left, they are identical. NBC iss Craig Melvin basically refuse to use the term male and female, biological, male and female because we all have to pretend along with the legacy media that sometimes girls are boys J just a quick note here, the terms that we're using here during our reporting, biological male, biological female, the High Court put those terms in quotations in their decision and their dissent. But just so you know, we're using those terms from the decision itself, biological male, biological female I againgain, it's just Amazing. The media will continue with this. They will never let go of it. CN's Lura codes called women's sports, so called girls sports. What else would you call them? Weak people's sports like what are we supposed to call them give me a substitute name for it that makes any sense here This is a monumental decision, not unexpected, however, given how the oral arguments went. H was the crux of the issue It was whether or not somebody who was assigned the male gender at birth would be allowed to play in a traditionally so called girls sports in a public, a high school, or of course, in the college setting man, that' a lack of ability to actually make basasic linguistic distinctions is insane. So called Girl sport. What is What are we even talking about? Okay, so here's the problem for the Democrats. The radicals are in charge of the party So the radicals are going to take the twenty percent position on some pretty obvious issues And they have the upper hand in the Democratic Party without a doubt Bernie Sanders is this insane bat bleep looney old man is somehow in charge of the leadvers of the Democratic Party. What have you guys done This is old man Rancet clouds. O manan Marks rancet clouds compleomplete useless Frashy. by way is a milliona ranting at the cl You decided this one is what this one, this one this much You needed more of this You needed more of this dude who looks like he went through the washing machine several times before he got on the air. Here we go But we also have to understand how Trump gets elected. And the answer is that millions of working class people looked at the alternative, they looked at the Democratic party, and say, what the hell are you doing? You guys had power Did you create healthcare for all? Did you raise my wages? Did you build affordable housing that I need? Did you make the schools better? The answer is no. So the struggle that we as progressives are engaged in are on two separate fronts. Number one, we're going to lead the effort against Trump and its disastrous policies. But number two We have to transform the Democratic Party completely from being a party dominated by the wealthy and the powerful to a party of the working class and young people in this country What we have to do We have to fight on two front. We we have to kill the Koolaks, and then we also have to kill the Menchhevks. That's the thing we have to do. It's always two fronts. It's two fronts and two fronts only Unbelievable. You guys decided to do this and it's working out well for the Democrats in Colorado A person in Malot Kiros One herer primary against a fifteen year Cgress personerson and Diana Dijat. And This is wild because this person is crazy Eilot Kiros was born in nineteen ninety seven in Eddys Abba, the capital of Ethiopia which again is she's a fifteen term congressman, not a fifteen year congresswoman to jet. She moved with her family to Colorado as an infant and was raised in the Denver area And has taken every possible insane position it is possible to take She was actually fired from a major law firm called Sidley Austin for her Su of Hamas, essentially is a person who you will recall said the nine eleven attacks were Inevitable. Here she was againg, it's just a few weeks ago I mean, it's june twenty second Do you believe that the nine eleven terrorist attacks on America were the inevitable consequence of American foreign policy I believe that And quote, which that is probably being referenced by in the context in which it was happening was referencing a Pentagon official who was talking about the acts that America was taking in parts of the Middle East. I want to clarify. I'm just asking you about your own words. Your frame of the october seventh attacks was that that was an inevitable consequence for Israel based on its actions Was nine hundred eleven an inevitable consequence for America based on U. S. foreign policy inevitable in the sense that we destabilized a lotw of the Middle East that forced people to believe that another act of violence was the only response. And again, just like I said before, our responsibility is to getting rid of those conditions that lead to violence in the first place She also could not say that a murderous attack on Jews was in fact anti Semitic because this is who wh Mil Loc Kios is. But she was not the only victor from the psychotic wing of the Democratic Party who won last night in Colorado. According to Politico, progressive candidate Manny Rutinel was overwhelmingly picked by Colorado Democrats over his more moderate opponent Shnon Byrd run in one of the most purple swing distrs in America and his Colorado's eighth C congressional district, held by Republican repepresentative Gabe Evans Also Mael Bennet, who's senor from Colorado is running for govern And he lost his primary. to again, another radical named Phil Weiser, who's the current attory general in Colorado. So clearly the momentum is with the ambulatory psychotics in the Democratic Party And we'll see how it works out for them Now right now, again, it is possible that bad candidates could do to Democrats with bad candidates did to Republicans back in twenty twenty one in a series of Senate races in twenty twenty one, twenty twenty two where Republicans picked sort of the most radical candidates in a series of primaries and then lost elections in states they should have won. That could easily happen here James Tal Rico is currently running head head and head with Ken Paxton. They're basically neck and neck at this point forty seven percent for each according to New York Times, Yenapol Again, the trendlines for Republicans are bad, but Is Salor Rico going toull out a victory in Texas? I find that hard to believe Grham Platner, Nazi tattoo guy in Maine currently has a two percent advantage, which is margin of error In the New York Times poll over, Susan Collins What's interesting about that is that The electorate there which has columinns down by two. That same electorate said that they voted by eleven for Kamala Harris. So Planner is wildly underrunning. theseese sort of Democrats here This episode is brought to you by Street Easy. You gota ask yourself, W to talk about the time you lived in the greatest city on Earth or still live in it In the city where a matinee leads to two AM tacos Your New York era can last a lifetime. With twenty years of MYC know how, Street Easy can help you become a forever New Yorker. Visit streeteasy dot com to buy or rent in NYC. Street Easy is an assumed name of Zillow Inc, which has licenses in all fifty states And again, Republicans have a lot more money in the bank right now. The RNC currently has one hundred twenty fiveillion dollars in the bank. The DNC has negative three point five million dollars The NRCC. has an advantage, the NRSC has an advantage Yesterday, the presresident announced a September GOP midterm convention in Dallas This is a thing that the presresident has started before is sort of having a midterm convention so he can try and generate some coattails He says big news for the first time ever, the Republican Party will hold midterm convention. It will be held in Dallas, Texas One of my favorite places in the world will be fantastic. and it has never been done before. It will be a truly historic event We're going to celebrate the great American comeback and the incredible successes of the American people who transformed our country through the America F Agenda. et et Now, meanwhile, the president tries to run Republicans to victory Precisely who you would think is trying to undermine all of that, including Marjorie Taylor Green who who explains that she is trying to start her own party Now. On with the Jerry Springer of Internet TV, Pierers Morgan. There is a group of us that have literally fought the system And I think there's a group of us that if we decide to align, we could launch a true America focused party. that doesn't fall into the traps of Democrats and Republicans, but could align some serious players from the right and the left and move forward. But Piers, I'm also very realistic because I was in the system. I've served in Congress, I've run campaigns, I know what it takes. It's difficult to launch a third party So the reality is, this isn't something that gets off the ground in just a couple of campaign cycles. This is a movement that has to be developed and would take time to develop. M so Again, there are people who are trying to break the Republican Party right now and you can see who they are. You can see who they are. They're the splinter faction Already, meanwhile For some reason, the left is still having a very, very difficult time trying to figure out a man is. They can'tot just figure they don't know what a woman is. They also don't know what a man is So Vox has an entire piece out today called the manly appeal of Zar Mamani. A, my dude All. No. The answer is no Manly appeal of ar M Dy one of the most feminized politicians in America, truly It's a SARm factory According to Voach A lot of Democratic insiders are starting to worry the party is a bit too low te. Even the new successful faces like John Awin and James Talorico might still be too soft He say The newest icon of Democratic power fits that bill almost exactly. He iss a carheart wearing marathon running fully bearded dude who loves to chow down. He's obsessed with the Kicks and recently made a basketball theme campaign ad. When he was campaigning last year, he toured edgy Mmosphere podcast worldor and easily traded riffs about bench pressing anding Analysts describe his politics using testosterone forward metaphors like muscled, powerowerbroker, and Kingmaker This of course, is Zoron Mom Donny Wh isn't Mom Donny the Democrats a new icon of masculinity Because, says one commentator, we've consistently reduced masculinity to white maleness and feminity, to white femaleness It's not a crisis of manhood. Oh my goodness. So Zor Mamani is going to be like your new male image mom' Dn Seriously U Im Dony is a complete useless man his entire career was elected after basically living high on the hog because his parents are rich and privileged. has no children with his wife And he marches in both Pakistan day parades and Pride Paradade And he is the image of manood. Good luck. Why do they have such struggles with this honestly It's not that hard to be a dude. It really is not that difficult. But somehow, Democrats are like, what does a model dude look like? What does he look like probably He is like Zar Mam Dni Okay, Well, maybe it's like Elliot Page Again, we are still on the search for Ellen. cannot find Ellen. A at page is now putting out Posts of herself, you know, post surgery shirtless, obviously saying that She is now hooked unboxing ere we go Wow you might be able to knock down small child. But that with that brutal Wow Why is that's an image of manhood Basically I A woman cosplaying his man because She has gotten surgeries. that's exciting Good stuff Good stuff. Again, the The fact that the left cannot determine what is a man and what is a woman will continue to doog them It will continue to dog them Okay, meananwhile, a quick World Cup update The Iranians are very ticked off about the World Cup Foreign mininister Abasraaki is now criticizing the Department of Homeland Security Secretary for the World Cup being mean to the Iranians putut out a tweet quote mission accomplished Mr. Mullen Mark Wayne Mullen, the homeomeland Scurity Scretary You accomplish something, proving to the world that you have no business holding an international tournament. Your conduct has been a masterclass for how to squander the dignity that comes of being a host Oh my goodness I need to hear more about dignity and treating people with dignity from the regime that mowed down forty two thousand people a few months ago And frankly, I think there's a good case that the Imranians should have been barred from the World Cup given the fact that they are a terrorist state that murders their own citizens en masse Quick update by the way on the World Cup for the United States. So the U.S. is actually in pretty good position here. U.S. is set to play Bosnia and Herzegvina Our friends and sponsors over at Calsi The markets there show that the United States is a heavy favorite. eighty three percent of people are betting on the U. S. advancing as opposed to seventeen percent. who are saying that Bosnia and Herzegvin what will advance. And the World Cup bracket is getting pretty interesting. Germany got knocked out the other day in kind of a shocker against Morocco Currently, I believe that the teams that we know are in The final sixteen at this point Canada versus Morocco How of Guay versus France sorry, Paraguay they knocked out Germany Moroc beat the Netherlands. That was also an upset Sort of. I believe the Netherlands ranked seven and Morocco is actually ranked six Brazil versus Norway, which should be a hell of a match. Mexico is in now it's waiting the winner of England versus DiR Congo whichich I assume that will be Eland, So Mexico versus England , it's shaping up My you know, my son is a big sports fan. So now is the time for me to get him a little bit into the World Cup. I'm not a huge World Cup guy But now we've gotten to the point where I can actually follow the number of teams. So I can see it. And yes, I think that the United States is in retty good position Again, that World Cup bracket J just looking at it again The United States would be set to play probably Belgium in the in the sixteen round And then Likely Spain, you would think. If it made it beyond that So the US bracket is actually not the craziest bracket There are a few of these brackets that are pretty wild, but that is not one of the toughest bracket. The Brazil, Norway,exico England bracket, That's a tough bracket Alrighty folks Coming up, we will jump into your questions in Mailbag. rememember, there's always more show.
