00:00:00.000 hello everybody and welcome to the great america show it's great to have you with us on yet another
00:00:06.900 beautiful day in america happy monday we're live tonight for the great america show let us know
00:00:10.600 where you're tuned in from um drop it in the comments and we're happy to have you on a live
00:00:16.180 episode of the great america show i hope you all had a great weekend so it was an interesting uh
00:00:21.320 weekend i guess to say the least uh for america for iran uh as the clock is once again uh tick
00:00:29.040 Tiktoking. The clock is Tiktoking, not for America, but it's Tiktoking for Iran. So what
00:00:36.860 happened over the weekend? Now, there was a high stakes confrontation, and there has been over the
00:00:42.100 control of the Strait of Hormuz between America and the Islamist Iranian regime. And they took
00:00:47.660 another step over the weekend to escalate the ladder up on Sunday afternoon with the U.S. seizing
00:00:53.680 an inbound Iranian-flagged cargo ship in the Gulf of Oman that tried to run past the blockade
00:01:00.340 that was established last week by President Trump following the short, and I mean hours-long
00:01:05.620 short, ceasefire agreement in order to pressure regime into agreeing to President Trump and
00:01:11.460 America's terms for peace. President Trump said in a Truth Social post on Sunday that the Navy
00:01:17.020 stopped the ship by blowing a hole in the engine room and that the Marines were able to take
00:01:22.700 control over the ship. Now, the seas came just a day after Iran fired on ships trying to exit
00:01:28.260 through the Strait of Hormuz. In recent days, the Iranian regime has sent conflicting signals to
00:01:33.080 whether the Strait is open or closed. The Iranian foreign minister declared that the Strait was open
00:01:38.000 on Friday night, but the IRGC declared that the Strait was closed on Saturday. The U.S. blockade
00:01:43.380 applies to only ships entering and leaving the Iranian ports. Everyone else is fine and good to
00:01:49.920 go. Now, negotiations between the U.S. and Iran were scheduled to resume in
00:01:53.680 Pakistan this week. Iran is saying on Sunday night that it would not send a
00:01:57.540 delegation while the U.S. went back and forth over to whether J.D. Vance or
00:02:04.680 their delegation was going to be sent. Now, the ceasefire is two weeks long,
00:02:09.660 and it's set to expire Wednesday. A report by Saudi journalists said the
00:02:15.200 delegation from Iran arrived in Islamabad, Pakistan on Sunday, but it's unclear
00:02:19.240 if they're actually going to meet with them or if they have any plans whatsoever to bring a
00:02:30.100 ceasefire. It seems that Iran, what they've been trying to do this whole entire time, 0.78
00:02:35.240 was just simply run out the clock, run out the clock on President Trump, run out the clock and 0.59
00:02:39.500 sort of force pressure on Congress and force pressure on President Trump from Congress for
00:02:46.480 them to make some sort of deal. Now, the deal would be made here in America, not a deal made
00:02:52.420 involving Iran. So we'll see what our politicians are set to do. Now, Iran is not happy about the
00:02:59.740 hole that was blown in the side of their Iranian ship. So they're now vowing to retaliate against
00:03:08.140 America because they called it armed piracy is what they're calling it, what America did to them.
00:03:14.180 Now, let's just talk for a second and think for a second what President Trump has decided to do here with this blockade and how utterly brilliant it is.
00:03:24.100 He literally hit Iran with the Uno reverse card because Iran's been playing games with the straight from day one. 0.73
00:03:30.920 It's the only leverage point they have as we've taken out just about everything else they have. 0.96
00:03:35.200 The only leverage point is controlling the straight.
00:03:37.740 That's not even theirs to control. 0.88
00:03:39.200 And it makes no sense that the folks on the other side of the Gulf of Qatar or Saudi Arabia or UAE have allowed them to do this because it's just equally as theirs as it is Iran's. 1.00
00:03:55.160 I mean, it's so utterly stupid. 0.97
00:03:57.780 It's literally like the city between Italy and the coast of Croatia and Italy and Albania and Montenegro and every country up the coast in the Mediterranean. 1.00
00:04:10.360 They don't claim to own out of it.
00:04:12.520 They use their side and they use their side. 0.95
00:04:14.560 But the Iranian terrorists have decided that it's their duty, that it's their position, that they own the strait. 0.95
00:04:21.260 And I think now they're going to learn the hard way because that ceasefire, which doesn't seem President Trump cares to renew anymore, as he's tweeted out over the weekend saying, continuing to say he's going to level Iran. 0.96
00:04:35.960 He's going to level the entire country.
00:04:37.540 And it's the same rhetoric we heard from President Trump the first time, which got everyone from Tucker Carlson to Alex Jones to Megyn Kelly going absolutely berserk.
00:04:47.620 So he doesn't seem like he cares this time around if a deal is made.
00:04:54.240 I think he sees it just as easy to go in there and finish the job. 0.64
00:05:03.840 So, you know, as we said from the beginning here, this is on Iran to figure out if they want to exist as a country, 0.81
00:05:14.340 be able to function as a normal country in society, 0.67
00:05:18.620 be able to take part in civilization like a normal country,
00:05:24.680 or if they want to cease to exist.
00:05:32.000 And from every negotiation and every piece of news released by them,
00:05:38.880 it seems that they want to fight to the death.
00:05:42.780 They want martyrdom.
00:05:44.340 They either want to die standing up or cease to exist at all.
00:05:52.960 And I think this time around, President Trump is going to do that favor for them.
00:05:59.420 Because how many ceasefires are you supposed to have with this radical regime and radical ideology?
00:06:08.620 How many chances are you supposed to give them to come to the table?
00:06:17.100 How many times are you supposed to extend to give them another chance?
00:06:24.380 And as I've said, I think President Trump's patience has really started to wear thin, as with any normal person.
00:06:36.200 Now, the leftists have been, I guess, kind of quiet on this because they've got problems of their own over in the House of Representatives.
00:06:43.160 And we're going to talk about that today and so much more.
00:06:47.420 I mean, we've got so much to talk about today of stuff that happened over the weekend.
00:06:53.580 Vladimir Zelensky is out in the news again.
00:06:58.160 We've got some new anchor baby data, which you folks are not going to be happy about from Pew Research.
00:07:05.260 We've got the Federal Appeals Court overturning once again the Trump ballroom construction.
00:07:12.060 We've got the House Ethics Committee releasing another list of folks who have been under investigation.
00:07:18.680 We've got 250 journalists signing a demand letter to protest against President Trump at the White House Correspondents' Dinner forcefully.
00:07:28.700 Kash Patel suing the Atlantic for $250 million.
00:07:33.320 Joe Genova being sworn in this afternoon in Florida.
00:07:38.180 Kamala Harris, we're going to talk about her right now.
00:07:42.300 We've got so much more to talk about here today,
00:07:45.340 but I just wanted to get started with Iran.
00:07:49.680 As it's tick-tock and the clock is running out 0.97
00:07:52.460 and the clock is running on these folks.
00:07:55.120 So Kamala Harris, she's back as much as we don't want to see her,
00:07:59.900 but I guess we've got to look forward to her
00:08:01.320 because she's most likely going to be running for president in 2028 unless she decides to run for governor in California, 0.99
00:08:10.460 to which if I'm advising Kamala Harris, I know she has these aspirations to be president of the United States. 1.00
00:08:16.820 But she's an absolute shoo-in for governor of California. 1.00
00:08:20.460 I mean, she'd walk right into that race and win it hands down for the Democrats. 1.00
00:08:25.180 That's what it is in California. 1.00
00:08:26.440 But anyway, Kamala Harris was taking cue points and pointers from her handlers over the weekend. 1.00
00:08:35.180 Let's take a listen. 0.64
00:08:36.880 He entered a war, got pulled into it by Bibi Netanyahu.
00:08:41.540 Let's be clear about that.
00:08:43.880 Entered a war that the American people do not want.
00:08:49.320 Putting at risk American service members.
00:08:52.460 the talking point of the left and the talking point of the uh the numbskulls
00:09:01.720 donald trump was forced into a war by netanyahu the list of countries that
00:09:07.100 own donald trump apparently grows by the second
00:09:09.700 2016 it was russia russia russia then we heard china for a little bit this time around it's 0.76
00:09:17.320 the Jews in Israel, they own Donald Trump. Before that, before this war, it was Saudi Arabia and
00:09:23.720 Qatar on President Trump, even though he came back with billions and billions of dollars pledged
00:09:30.800 to America. If they own somebody, I'm not sure why they pledge money. So the list, you know,
00:09:39.100 just goes on and Kamala Harris taking, as I said, two cards from her puppet masters because she's 1.00
00:09:44.900 not capable as we saw this last election she's not capable of thinking on her own she's not a 0.99
00:09:52.700 free and independent thinker and what she failed to mention is her buddy Barack Hussein Obama
00:09:58.240 who sent pallets of cash he sent cash and Trump is sending ash 1.00
00:10:05.820 so it's it's the talking points of the left that are so utterly idiotic 1.00
00:10:14.820 i'm just looking forward toks to who buys donald trump next who's going to own him next 0.99
00:10:23.300 never heard he's owned by america which is the truth of the matter and why he ran for president
00:10:29.860 in the first place slogan make america great again the man ran on bringing jobs back to america was
00:10:38.160 his biggest platform in 2016 and deporting illegals to me that sounds like he's working
00:10:42.880 for America. But the Democrats don't want to see that because they have to put on their
00:10:46.840 camouflage and shields from all the ways that they've sold out this country to just about
00:10:51.320 everybody but America. Folks, we're live tonight for the Great America Show. So if you're joining

00:11:12.880 Thanks, everybody, for staying with us here on The Great America Show.

00:11:40.620 whether it be the Great America Show on video or on audio.
00:11:43.740 We appreciate you guys tuning in.
00:11:46.280 So Vladimir Zelensky is back in the headlines, folks.
00:11:50.360 What could good old Vladimir Zelensky want now?
00:11:53.980 Well, The Atlantic, who we're going to tell you what they did to Cash Patel over the weekend.
00:11:58.820 But The Atlantic is out with a new piece.
00:12:02.920 And they say, Kiev appears, and this is quoted from them,
00:12:06.300 Kiev appears to have given up on the United States.
00:12:08.580 It's aggressively seeking new diplomatic and military partners, for instance, by sharing its hard-won, expensive, in-drone warfare with Saudi Arabia and Qatar and the United Arab Emirates and foregoing arms production agreement with Germany.
00:12:24.920 Ukraine has sent drones to attack oil export facilities near St. Petersburg, deep inside enemy territory, in defiance of what Zelensky calls signals from unspecified partners to avoid striking Russian energy infrastructure.
00:12:38.580 Using language that would until recently have been unthinkable,
00:12:42.420 Zelensky has indicated that he no longer views the United States
00:12:45.120 as reliable and a reliable ally.
00:12:47.560 And even more astonishingly, that Europe needs to start moving on
00:12:51.380 from the transatlantic relationship.
00:12:54.640 This is Zelensky saying this, folks. 1.00
00:12:56.260 The man who was on his hands and knees begging like a damn homeless person 0.99
00:13:01.280 just a few months ago in the Oval Office, 0.99
00:13:03.660 to which he got obliterated by J.D. Vance for coming dressed like a slob. 0.98
00:13:08.580 Now, Zelensky's also mad that Trump eased sanctions on Russia oil producers and sellers. 0.58
00:13:14.080 Of course, he'd want them to ramp it up, drive oil prices even higher during the Iranian conflict.
00:13:22.280 In an interview last week with an Italian radio station, Zelensky criticized the decision.
00:13:28.060 Quote, in my view, Russia played the Americans again, played the president of the United States, he said.
00:13:35.140 Lest anyone outside Italy missed his point,
00:13:38.140 Zelensky amplified an English-language version on his comments on X.
00:13:42.260 He's also mad that Trump eased the sanctions on Russian oil producers and sellers, as I said.
00:13:48.360 Besides offering his opinion on the matters outside the dubious jurisdiction,
00:13:51.680 Zelensky is also opting new security architecture for Europe without the United States.
00:13:58.620 Now, it's bonkers since Ukraine is not part of the EU or NATO,
00:14:02.500 and literally nobody is willing to follow his lead.
00:14:07.540 So it brings the question of
00:14:10.040 what happened to the war with Iran
00:14:13.460 and Russia, between Russia and Ukraine?
00:14:18.980 It's seemingly been kind of quiet
00:14:21.520 as if they've almost put it on hold.
00:14:28.140 I mean, we've literally not heard a damn thing
00:14:32.040 since the Iran war started with Israel and America.
00:14:35.520 And I guess everyone else who's been involved.
00:14:40.080 So if it was that easy to just put the thing on hold the whole time,
00:14:45.800 is it really what we've all been told it is?
00:14:52.700 I mean, Zelensky came to the White House, begged and cried.
00:14:57.940 As I said, on his hands and knees,
00:14:59.740 pretty much telling us that his country could go at any time
00:15:06.320 and it's not apparent that was the truth
00:15:14.700 because somehow some way he's managed to work with Vladimir Putin to put a pause on this thing
00:15:23.820 because he knows damn well that Donald Trump stopped sending him a dollar right now in the
00:15:27.840 middle of this Iran conflict. He doesn't have the audacity to come begging for it either.
00:15:36.240 Gets kind of wise on his part. But I just, I think it's so interesting
00:15:42.820 that he's somehow been able to put a pause
00:15:49.340 and put a time out on it
00:15:54.240 while America deals with the 47-year issue.
00:15:59.740 I wasn't aware of war worked that way.
00:16:03.540 I wasn't aware that you were able to put a pause
00:16:07.380 at unofficial ceasefire without anybody knowing about it.
00:16:12.980 So it's sort of interesting.
00:16:15.200 And I think to put things in perspective,
00:16:17.240 kind of odd and i think that more people should be talking about the mainstream media
00:16:24.680 who we saw through the whole uh ukrainian conflict where their little uh what size
00:16:32.820 is not right here their little ukrainian flags you know their little ukraine and american flags
00:16:38.280 which i thought was a total joke you wouldn't catch me dead wearing another flag aside from
00:16:44.600 this one right here. So it's funny and you don't hear Lindsey Graham out there begging for them
00:16:54.480 anymore. He's just beaten the, the, the Iran war drum. And I guess maybe once this thing wraps up,
00:17:01.820 if it's sooner or later, he'll be right back on that, you know, beating the
00:17:08.540 Ukraine-Russia war drum, where he'll continue to get rich,
00:17:14.660 put the American people's lives, our service members at risk.
00:17:18.680 I mean, think about it.
00:17:19.620 A year ago, less than a year ago, we had our own U.S. politicians
00:17:24.260 talking about putting troops on the ground in Ukraine
00:17:27.460 to fight a war against Russia.
00:17:32.180 And it's all seemingly gone away.
00:17:36.500 Just think about it for a second.
00:17:38.540 something that's been in the back of my mind and sort of befuddled me a little bit.
00:17:44.800 I want to take one more quick break here, folks, on The Great America Show.
00:17:47.520 There's so much more to get to.
00:17:48.700 I want to bring you the Atlantic piece on Kash Patel.
00:17:52.520 They're coming after Kash once again.
00:17:54.840 The White House ballroom, is it on?
00:17:57.080 Is it off?
00:17:58.140 250 journalists calling for forceful protests against President Trump.
00:18:02.760 Sounds like they're trying to start an insurrection, perhaps.
00:18:06.840 And are we going to finally get some movement down in Florida
00:18:10.060 with Joe DiGenova being sworn in today?
00:18:13.640 Joe was a good friend of the great Lou Dobbs.
00:18:15.760 We'll talk about all that on the other side of this quick break.
00:18:18.440 We're coming back in less than 60 seconds, folks,
00:18:20.100 so please stay with us.
00:18:21.380 The Great America Show continues in just moments,
00:18:22.980 and let us know in the comments where you're tuned in from
00:18:24.740 and if you're enjoying the show or not.
00:18:27.300 Coming right back, folks.
00:18:28.100 Please stay with us.
00:18:28.880 thanks everybody for staying with us here on the great america show once again
00:18:38.100 happy monday and if you're joining us on youtube rumble twitter please be sure to hit the like
00:18:41.960 subscribe and follow button so the atlantic everyone's favorite rag of a newspaper is
00:18:47.360 coming after cash patel with this new little hit piece out this morning so what are they
00:18:55.140 coming after cash patel about exactly interesting right so this article comes out we're going to
00:19:02.160 tell you all about it but as it comes out cash patel has filed a defamation lawsuit against
00:19:06.600 the atlantic and their reporter sarah fitzgerald i'm sorry fitzpatrick following the publication
00:19:13.480 that came out on friday alleging that the director has a drinking problem that can pose a threat to
00:19:19.720 national security. A magazine titled Cash, originally titled Cash Patel's Erotic Behavior
00:19:27.920 Could Cost Him His Job, cited the more than two dozen anonymous sources expressing concerns about
00:19:33.480 Patel's conspicuous inebriation and unexplained absences that alarmed FBI officials in both the
00:19:41.940 FBI and the Department of Justice. The article, which The Atlantic subsequently titled now,
00:19:48.300 as you see the new title the FBI director is MIA in its online version reported that during Patel's
00:19:54.060 tenure the FBI had to reschedule early meetings as a result of his alcohol-fueled nights and that
00:19:59.820 Patel is often away or unreachable playing time-sensitive decisions needed to advance
00:20:04.780 investigations. In this story the White House, Department of Justice, and Patel all deny the
00:20:11.900 allegations. The article included
00:20:13.960 a statement from FBI's
00:20:15.320 comms office, attributable
00:20:17.900 to Patel, and says, print it,
00:20:19.860 all false, I'll see you in court, bring your checkbook.
00:20:22.640 The Atlantic story is a lie, Patel
00:20:24.160 saying in an interview with Reuters,
00:20:26.220 they were given the truths before they published it
00:20:28.000 and they choose to
00:20:28.700 publish falsehoods anyway,
00:20:32.040 to which the Atlantic says, we stand by our
00:20:33.880 reporting on Kash Patel, we will figuratively
00:20:35.920 defend the Atlantic and our journalists against him
00:20:38.060 in this meritless
00:20:40.060 lawsuit.
00:20:41.900 So they're saying Patel has a drinking problem. They go on the article to say that Patel and some of the FBI officials have to have battering. This sounds absolutely absurd, battering equipment nearby, like to break down a door nearby Patel's office, which I've never heard of this before, by the way.
00:21:03.980 Never heard of it happening before, but nearby Patel's office in case they ever have to break down the door because Cash Patel is unresponsive.
00:21:13.280 Now, I've known Cash for years.
00:21:16.620 Spent time with him personally.
00:21:20.720 And I've never, this is speaking objectively, witnessed any sort of behavior like that from before.
00:21:28.160 And I've never seen it before.
00:21:28.960 Now, this comes, it looks like, from the same playbook that they ran against Brett Kavanaugh.
00:21:39.660 Having a few beers with your friends on the weekend doesn't make you an alcoholic, doesn't mean you have a drinking problem.
00:21:47.740 But I guess apparently to the left, who, I mean, far bigger issues, as we just saw, Eric Swalwell has allegedly spent thousands of dollars on alcohol delivery from his campaign.
00:22:06.100 I guess in their eyes, they have to somehow justify that they've protected their own party and protected their people.
00:22:14.720 You remember Madison Cawthorn came out and said that they had these drug sex-fueled orgies to which he had to leave Congress after, exposing it.
00:22:28.160 And we see it now in this report that has come out from the House Ethics Committee of some of the investigations that they've done over the course of their committee.
00:22:48.440 So let's turn to that.
00:22:50.040 Let's talk about that for a little bit.
00:22:53.400 Because the House Ethics Committee, they've done a lot of investigations.
00:22:58.160 to none of which have produced any sort of real changes.
00:23:06.120 This is from the Gateway Pundit.
00:23:09.020 The House Ethics Committee released a public list of investigative matters
00:23:13.300 involving sexual misconduct by members of Congress amid Swalwell's scandal.
00:23:18.240 They wanted to say they've reviewed 20 matters involving allegations of sexual misconduct
00:23:21.960 by members of Congress in the last decade, to which they have the list.
00:23:26.280 Most recently, Eric Swalwell, sexual misconduct, including a staffer.
00:23:32.540 Same thing with Tony Gonzalez, sexual relationship with the staffer.
00:23:36.400 And you see the outcome, loss of jurisdiction.
00:23:39.800 You folks could probably figure out why that was, because they resigned from Congress
00:23:43.940 before there can be any sort of official report on it.
00:23:50.040 You know, not the same thing they afforded Matt Gaetz when he resigned.
00:23:56.280 Corey Mills, sexual misconduct and dating violence, an ongoing investigation to which they want to remove him before the investigation is complete.
00:24:06.620 We should have due process.
00:24:08.600 And if these people were found to be in violation of it, they should be expelled from Congress, removed from Congress, and taken away all government-funded benefits.
00:24:18.700 But afford the Republicans the same benefits that the Democrats have.
00:24:24.000 Jamal Bowman pulls a fire alarm.
00:24:25.620 Never a house ethics complaint.
00:24:27.520 So they go on.
00:24:28.500 Matt Gaetz, sexual misconduct, the minor solicitation of prostitution,
00:24:32.000 to which they found public report finding sexual misconduct violations.
00:24:36.420 George Santos, sexual harassment of a staffer.
00:24:38.800 They say public report with no sexual misconduct violations.
00:24:42.560 Santos was removed before, I guess, this was revealed.
00:24:47.940 Madison Cawthorn, 2022, improper relationship with the staffer.
00:24:50.940 Public report with no sexual misconduct violations.
00:24:54.920 Michael F. San Nicolas, sexual relationship with the staffer, same thing.
00:24:59.360 Public report with no sexual misconduct violations.
00:25:03.060 Tom Reed, sexual harassment of a lobbyist, loss of jurisdiction because he seemingly resigned before.
00:25:12.960 Katie Hill, sexual relationship with the staffer, loss of jurisdiction.
00:25:17.100 And it goes on and on of people who are able to resign before they can do it. 0.97
00:25:29.220 Now, this rule needs to be changed for sure.
00:25:33.560 The fact of doing an investigation, spending all this time on an investigation, and then not releasing the public findings after wasting all your time on this investigation because that congressman or congresswoman decides to resign.
00:25:47.100 I mean, where's the fiscal responsibility of putting time and money into these investigations and then letting these people resign when it comes up to the 11th hour and they're tipped off by one of their pals on that ethics committee that, hey, listen, we found out that you're a serial sex offender.
00:26:12.840 We find out that you slept with a lobbyist. 0.68
00:26:15.020 we found out you were sleeping with some lady named fang fang who's a chinese spy 0.99
00:26:20.100 oh we found out you slept with your your staffer who lit herself on fire to kill herself after the 0.98
00:26:27.140 affair that she had on her husband and you had on your wife and kids
00:26:30.280 but we dump all this money into it to then just come with the same outcome 0.99
00:26:36.660 there's no doubt congress is a cesspool of garbage i mean you got some of the 0.99
00:26:43.020 just biggest lowlifes serving. 0.99
00:26:48.780 You know, it's funny.
00:26:49.240 Lou Dobbs used to tell me all the time, you know, you got to go to Congress.
00:26:53.180 You got to go run for office.
00:26:54.160 You got to go do it.
00:26:55.000 And I thought about it in the beginning.
00:26:56.340 And I'm like, you know, as I got to know him more, I'd say, you know, Lou,
00:27:02.620 you really turned me off to politics because he really didn't like politicians, Lou.
00:27:08.140 He was a fan of maybe five or six members of Congress that I could think of on my hand.
00:27:13.720 Jim Jordan, Comer, really liked Tim Burchett.
00:27:17.900 I mean, that was, it was a small list of people.
00:27:21.520 Senators, forget about it.
00:27:23.480 I mean, he feuded with just about every single one of them.
00:27:26.140 Mike Lee is one of my favorite ones.
00:27:28.780 Lou famously called him the senator from Mumbai because of his stance on H-1B visas and wanting to import people.
00:27:34.720 And now to Mike Lee's credit, Mike has taken a total 180, and it was so funny. 0.99
00:27:39.400 And I think towards the end of his life, Lee started, I think, seeing more eye to eye with Lou, understanding where Lou was coming from about the threat to the H-1B visa program, the threat to the American people of jobs being stolen by immigrants coming over here. 0.97
00:28:01.080 it's just funny to see over the you know over the course of history how that's changed so let's 0.95
00:28:09.060 talk about some troubling news some troubling data that's come out nearly 10 percent of all
00:28:16.620 babies born in the united states in 2023 were to mothers who were either illegal aliens or holding
00:28:23.360 temporary legal status, according to new data released by the
00:28:29.060 imitable Pew Research.
00:28:33.140 It shows that roughly 320,000 of the roughly 3.6 million babies
00:28:37.460 born across the country that year had mothers that were non-citizens.
00:28:41.420 This marks the highest total of anchor babies since 2010,
00:28:46.360 when Pew Research recorded 325,000 such births
00:28:50.700 and represented an increase for the third straight year.
00:28:55.760 This is troubling information, folks.
00:28:59.000 Approximately 245,000 were mothers who are unauthorized immigrants
00:29:02.260 whose fathers were neither U.S. citizens nor lawful permanent residents.
00:29:07.000 Another 15,000 included mothers with temporary legal status
00:29:10.680 and fathers who were not citizens or lawful permanent residents.
00:29:15.060 The remaining 60,000 were born illegal immigrant mothers
00:29:18.280 where the father was a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident.
00:29:24.480 Now, Pew Research reports that generally the trend in births
00:29:27.980 to unauthorized, unauthorized, they call them or we'll call them illegal aliens,
00:29:33.060 follows the growth and decline of the unauthorized immigration policy.
00:29:36.640 The number of unauthorized immigrants more than tripled from 1990 to 2007.
00:29:42.380 The number of births also more than tripled from 120,000 in 1990
00:29:46.980 to the peak of about 380,000 in 2006.
00:29:50.260 In 1990, births to unauthorized immigrants and their mothers
00:29:54.720 were about 3% of the 4.1 million births in the U.S. that year.
00:29:59.860 In 2006, these births were about 9% of the total.
00:30:04.440 And between 2006 and 2019, the annual number of births
00:30:07.620 to unauthorized illegal alien mothers dropped by more than 40% to 215,000.
00:30:15.240 So this is a problem, folks. This is a problem. And this is the path that America is now going down by allowing millions and tens of millions of illegal aliens to come into this country and birth their children.
00:30:38.040 It's sick 0.99
00:30:40.040 Turning now to some news folks
00:30:42.420 More than 250 journalists
00:30:44.360 Including Dan Rather and Sam Donaldson
00:30:46.780 Have signed on to an open letter
00:30:48.360 Demanding that the White House
00:30:49.380 Correspondents Association
00:30:52.400 Turn this Saturday's dinner
00:30:54.460 Into a stage for direct
00:30:56.800 Quote forceful confrontation
00:30:59.080 With President Trump
00:31:00.900 The letter was sent to the
00:31:02.660 White House Correspondents Association this afternoon
00:31:04.780 Calls the organization to use the podium
00:31:06.760 at the 2026 White House Correspondents' Dinner
00:31:08.840 to deliver a forceful defense of freedoms of the press
00:31:12.600 and condemn those who threaten that freedom,
00:31:17.260 followed by a standing toast to the First Amendment.
00:31:20.260 Speak forcefully in front of the man
00:31:21.900 who seek to undermine our country's long tradition
00:31:24.540 of independent, strong, and free press,
00:31:27.060 says the letter.
00:31:30.360 If I hadn't seen a bigger joke than that,
00:31:33.880 I haven't seen one at all.
00:31:36.440 Now, President Trump is set to attend, I believe, as of right now, that White House
00:31:43.400 correspondent senator, which he hasn't done in quite some time.
00:31:47.440 I think he's only went to one.
00:31:50.340 But that's our press that says they don't have the freedom of the press, you know, like
00:31:55.760 the press that failed to report on the Hunter Biden laptop, lied about it for years.
00:32:02.860 Yeah, that same press. Same press that failed to report on Eric Swalwell being a total weirdo for years. But they're coming out now. Bill Maher, who's had Swalwell on his show many times, had this to say about Mr. Eric Swalwell.
00:32:22.760 Big story here in California.
00:32:24.580 The front runner for the governor was Eric Swalwell, Congressman Eric Swalwell.
00:32:29.180 And he has dropped out of the race.
00:32:30.900 Five women came forward now and accused him of terrible sexual stuff.
00:32:34.960 He denies it, of course.
00:32:36.600 But, you know, people are furious because they say this was kind of an open secret going on and why.
00:32:41.280 People knew this.
00:32:42.400 I think they're right.
00:32:44.160 I think the signals were everywhere.
00:32:45.360 Like, you know how politicians always wear the flag pin?
00:32:49.340 He had an eggplant emoji.
00:32:50.740 I mean, so he has also now stepped down as a congressman.
00:33:01.680 He's not even there anymore because, you know, it turns out first one woman comes forward, then it's four, then it's five.
00:33:06.600 It turns out he hit on a lot of women and also once in a dark cocktail lounge, Kristi Noem's husband.
00:33:14.860 But that's a different.
00:33:20.740 so he is completely gone but before he left he did apologize to the 11 million women voters in
00:33:27.860 california and invited them all to his hotel room all right he's got a great show yeah of course
00:33:34.180 he's got to turn it into a joke right because he propped him up for years he was his friend for
00:33:40.080 years so yeah of course he's got to prop him up a little bit and talk about christine ohm who
00:33:49.820 Nobody's proud of him.
00:33:50.660 We've talked about it here.
00:33:52.260 There's a difference between us and the Democrats, folks.
00:33:55.180 When this stuff happens, we talk about it.
00:33:58.840 And I always say the Epstein stuff.
00:34:02.020 We talk about it.
00:34:04.880 But the Democrats need to decide.
00:34:06.480 They deflect and have the delusion of grandeur. 1.00
00:34:11.040 Absolute sick people. 0.98
00:34:12.560 The U.S. appeals court has allowed the Trump administration 0.97
00:34:14.560 to continue the construction of their $400 million White House ballroom
00:34:18.820 at the site of the former East Wing of the White House.
00:34:21.580 Three-judge paneled Washington, D.C.,
00:34:23.240 granting a temporary stay of the lower court
00:34:25.820 that had paused the mostly above-ground work
00:34:28.400 following a lawsuit from the National Trust
00:34:30.500 for Historic Preservation.
00:34:31.900 Of course, this is after the thing was already tore down.
00:34:34.220 What else are they supposed to do?
00:34:35.720 The group had challenged President Trump's authority
00:34:37.300 to demolish the East Wing
00:34:38.380 and proceed without congressional approval.
00:34:41.180 U.S. District Judge Richard Leon
00:34:42.720 had initially blocked the construction of Mark,
00:34:44.900 citing the lack of congressional authorization.
00:34:47.640 He later permitted it under a limited underground work tied to national security, provided it did not determine the final scale of the ballroom.
00:34:56.280 The Trump administration argued that halting the construction posed grave national security harms to the White House, the president, and the staff.
00:35:03.500 In granting the stay of the appeals court, said that the move was intended to give the judges time to review the administration's emergency appeal.
00:35:11.580 The court emphasized that the decision does not amount to a final ruling on the merits of the case.
00:35:15.620 The next hearing is scheduled for June 15th.
00:35:18.760 President Trump is so brilliant.
00:35:20.720 You build something underground, some sort of bunker, some sort of national security case,
00:35:25.160 and you hit the Dems with the UNO reverse card.
00:35:29.060 Some great news, folks, out of Florida today.
00:35:31.440 Joe DeGeneva, the former U.S. attorney under Reagan,
00:35:35.600 will oversee the Spygate probe in Florida after the DOJ removed the deep state prosecutor
00:35:40.640 who was stonewalling the slow-walking charges against John Brennan.
00:35:44.140 The Justice Department on Friday removed Maria Medetis, a career federal prosecutor, who was slow walking those charges against Brennan.
00:35:51.720 Former CIA Director Brennan is the target of a grand jury investigation in the Russiagate case down in South Florida.
00:36:00.040 We wish Joe DeGeneva the best, a good friend of the great Lou Dobbs, and I've had the pleasure and honor of having dinner with Joe DeGeneva and his wife, Victoria Tenzing, in D.C. a few times.
00:36:11.760 and I think he's best cut out for the job,
00:36:14.680 and I think he's going to do a terrific job
00:36:16.520 and bring us truth, justice, and the American way
00:36:19.660 because that's what Americans are yearning for.
00:36:24.080 We all want it.
00:36:25.480 We all need it.
00:36:27.120 We all voted for it, so bring it.
