00:00:00.000 This is an iHeart Podcast.
00:00:02.580 Guaranteed human.
00:00:04.540 Coming up next, our final news roundup and information overload hour.
00:00:09.740 All right, news roundup and information overload hour this Friday.
00:00:12.860 It is 800-941-SHAWN.
00:00:15.000 You want to be a part of the program.
00:00:16.180 Your call's coming up, final half hour of the program today.
00:00:19.220 Big win, U.S. Supreme Court today.
00:00:22.280 Again, there's been now multiple wins.
00:00:24.480 We've been chronicling all of them.
00:00:26.220 And this one dealing with the Trump administration and their request for stay of a lower court's orders blocking enforcement of his birthright citizenship executive order.
00:00:39.660 Remember, the president wanted to end birthright citizenship.
00:00:43.220 Pretty amazing.
00:00:45.300 We're going to play all of the president's comments in full also coming up in the next half hour.
00:00:49.800 But I want you to just listen to a little bit of what he had to say earlier today.
00:00:53.180 I was elected on a historic mandate, but in recent months we've seen a handful of radical left judges effectively try to overrule the rightful powers of the president
00:01:04.120 to stop the American people from getting the policies that they voted for in record numbers.
00:01:10.500 It was a grave threat to democracy, frankly, and instead of merely ruling on the immediate cases before them,
00:01:17.580 these judges have attempted to dictate the law for the entire nation.
00:01:21.740 In practice, this meant that if any one of the nearly 700 federal judges disagreed with the policy of a duly elected president of the United States,
00:01:32.020 he or she could block that policy from going into effect or at least delay it for many years, tie it up in the court system.
00:01:40.260 This was a colossal abuse of power which never occurred in American history prior to recent decades.
00:01:46.040 And we've been hit with more nationwide injunctions than were issued in the entire 20th century.
00:01:52.600 I mean, it really is remarkable.
00:01:55.420 And I think the Supreme Court got this right.
00:01:59.020 Most conservatives see what's happening, what the what the Democratic Party can never accomplish at the ballot box electorally,
00:02:07.260 what they can't accomplish legislatively, they run to and go judge shopping to activist justices.
00:02:15.940 And they have and by the way, 80 percent of the judges they go to are appointed by Democrats on purpose.
00:02:21.540 It's not an accident.
00:02:23.000 And and then it slows down the president's agenda.
00:02:25.940 And he is duly elected by the people to implement that agenda.
00:02:31.760 Senator Danes of Montana is thrilled with the court ruling today and agrees that universal injunctions likely exceed the equitable authority that Congress has given to the federal courts
00:02:43.920 and allowing a single activist judge to dictate policy for the entire nation needed to stop. 0.70
00:02:49.860 And I applaud today's Supreme Court ruling to limit nationwide injunctions.
00:02:53.860 Senator Danes of Montana, by the way, there are many days I'm not having the best day.
00:03:00.200 And I'm thinking, what would life be like on a ranch out in Montana?
00:03:03.820 Not that the people of Montana want any more people from any other state coming to their state and and and frankly, 0.98
00:03:11.480 maybe bringing their dumb policies with them. 0.95
00:03:13.640 In my case, I agree with the people of Montana. 0.99
00:03:16.600 Well, well, Sean, we always welcome conservative refugees.
00:03:20.500 We just don't want to have liberal missionaries joining us in Montana.
00:03:23.860 I mean, I swear, it's like, you know, if you if you're going to move out of California, New York, New Jersey.
00:03:31.600 OK, fine. You can move if you're going to come to my free state of Florida, which I do love.
00:03:36.560 Or are you going to go to Texas or the Carolinas or Tennessee?
00:03:40.800 Just leave. You can you that you know, welcome you with open arms.
00:03:44.460 Don't bring your dumb, idiotic policies that destroyed your state with you and then destroy the new state you're going to. 1.00
00:03:51.800 Sean, we welcome those who want to join us. 1.00
00:03:54.340 So we hope folks want to change us stay out of the way.
00:03:56.520 So we're on the same page there.
00:03:58.340 Sean. But look, this was a huge win for the American people is where it starts.
00:04:02.720 I was a huge one for President Trump.
00:04:04.200 But this is a huge win for the American people.
00:04:07.000 You said it so well.
00:04:08.220 It's about, you know, the equality here of powers and just proportionality of powers where the left can go shop some rogue judge somewhere in America and stop a significant ruling or order coming from the president.
00:04:22.820 United States, who is trying to protect the country as commander in chief.
00:04:26.440 So this is this is a wonderful win.
00:04:28.640 You know, it also says to me, Sean, we're reaping the benefits and the fruit of an election that happened back in 2014 when we flipped the Senate.
00:04:36.940 That's the year I got elected to the Senate.
00:04:38.200 I was the first Republican in 100 years.
00:04:39.840 We picked up nine seats that night.
00:04:42.800 And that was during Barack Obama's last midterm election.
00:04:45.920 Set in motion after the tragic passing of Scalia, we put three conservative Trump judges on the bench and we're seeing the consequences of really elections that began back in 14.
00:04:57.840 Just a reminder how important Senate races are in America, because you reap the fruit or you reap the curse of what happens in the courts, sometimes for a generation.
00:05:08.220 What do you make of the other Supreme Court decisions that have come down?
00:05:13.240 I mean, it really has been a little bit of a whirlwind, as it is at the end of every Supreme Court session.
00:05:22.040 And, you know, they they now in one swoop of ruled on a lot of issues.
00:05:26.900 This one about about birthright citizenship, but but also about a whole variety of issues.
00:05:33.740 What's your take?
00:05:34.840 Well, there's another one that strikes the heart of the Dean's family as parents of four and now grandparents of seven, Sean.
00:05:43.240 And that's that six three decision we got that says parents can opt their children out of LGBTQ transgender lessons in the public schools.
00:05:52.880 This is a win.
00:05:54.040 It's a win for parental rights to win for religious liberty. 0.66
00:05:57.840 Frankly, it's crazy.
00:05:58.880 This is even a debate.
00:06:00.500 But why are we teaching this gender radical ideology in great school, even down to preschool anyway? 1.00
00:06:07.680 But I'll tell you, Alito nailed it when he wrote for the majority.
00:06:11.100 I'm going to quote what he wrote in the majority.
00:06:12.540 He said, a government burdens the religious exercise of parents when it requires them to submit their children to instruction that poses a very real threat of undermining the religious beliefs and practices from the parents that they wish to instill.
00:06:28.120 Alito nailed it, as he always does.
00:06:29.820 That's another great win for this court that was set in motion because of the Republican Senate and the leadership of President Trump.
00:06:37.240 What did you make about the South Carolina decision?
00:06:40.760 Well, another huge win.
00:06:42.520 I mean, think about talking about protecting the rights of the states and a federalism win where South Carolina says, hey, we're not going to allow Medicaid funds, federal dollars to be used to pay to Planned Parenthood for elective abortions.
00:06:58.460 And why do we why do we give Planned Parenthood a penny anyway?
00:07:02.840 We're working on defunding them right now as we speak, Sean.
00:07:05.720 We'd love to get that piece included in the reconciliation bill.
00:07:08.740 And I don't even like to use the word Planned Parenthood.
00:07:10.880 That sounds way too kind of Planned Parenthood.
00:07:12.960 This is called elective abortions on demand. 0.98
00:07:16.100 That's what we're stopping.
00:07:17.260 There should not be taxpayer dollars allowed to prop that industry up.
00:07:21.200 Yeah.
00:07:22.120 You know, the party has become radicalized.
00:07:24.680 Maybe it's just culminated this week with Mom Donnie winning the Democratic nomination for New York City mayor.
00:07:31.560 But the Democratic Party of old, I don't remember as a party that would champion the rights of men to play women's sports.
00:07:43.280 It just seems that they're doubling down on radicalism.
00:07:46.900 And I don't think it's going to help them long term.
00:07:48.800 I think that the Republican Party has emerged as the party of working men and women, and they are the party of woke coastal elites.
00:07:57.240 And I think they're just out of touch with the country.
00:08:00.480 It's exactly right, Sean.
00:08:02.240 And we're seeing that in a state like Montana.
00:08:04.500 Sean, I grew up in a family of Democrats.
00:08:07.640 These were the old labor union FDR farmers from Scandinavia sometimes in my family mix in Montana.
00:08:15.460 But here's what's happened.
00:08:17.140 It's the classic example of where they didn't leave the Democratic Party if the Democrats left them.
00:08:23.700 They moved so far left.
00:08:25.440 And what's happening is with the remaining moderates that no longer exist in Democrats, they've all left.
00:08:30.940 So what is left is the radical, radical side of the left.
00:08:33.640 So it's doubling down on their ideology.
00:08:35.800 And that's their demise as we go forward with elections.
00:08:38.360 They don't have a plan going forward to double down on their far left beliefs as we've seen evidence what happened in New York this past week.
00:08:44.220 Seventy-nine Democrats this week wanted to impeach Donald Trump, which is remarkable.
00:08:50.640 They didn't care when Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Bill Clinton, or any past president used force.
00:08:57.400 They wouldn't stand at the joint session for Lake and Riley's family murdered by an unvetted Biden-Harris illegal
00:09:03.940 or the family of Jocelyn Nungary murdered by a Harris-Biden illegal.
00:09:09.220 And to me, if you can't stand for parents that lost their children, you have lost your soul.
00:09:15.680 Look, Sean, they've lost their soul on multiple fronts.
00:09:19.520 But let's just take what happened last Saturday when President Trump made the absolutely right decision,
00:09:26.740 a bold, decisive action to take out the nuclear capabilities of Iran. 0.86
00:09:33.300 History will look so fondly on what President Trump did.
00:09:37.780 And to think the left, what are they doing?
00:09:40.220 They're trying to plant false intelligence to the New York Times to undermine what was absolutely a stellar execution by the U.S. military,
00:09:49.680 what the Israelis have done to protect their lands and their democracy through their preemptive strikes on Iran. 0.60
00:09:58.100 And they had one part of that whole plan that they needed our help,
00:10:01.200 and that was the heavy lift with B-2s to drop the 30,000-pound bombs that were dropped precisely on the right way.
00:10:07.100 They scored 100 on the test, Sean.
00:10:09.240 We should be cheering for these brave patriots, and the left instead wants to impeach President Trump.
00:10:14.940 That sums it up for me and just shows you how much they truly have lost their mind
00:10:19.080 and how they're losing support from the American people.
00:10:23.280 They really are.
00:10:24.520 All right, quick break.
00:10:25.240 Right back.
00:10:25.800 More with Montana Senator Steve Daines is with us.
00:10:29.180 Then your call is coming up.
00:10:30.120 800-941-SEAN.
00:10:31.780 Canadian women are looking for more, more out of themselves, their businesses, their elected leaders, and the world around them. 0.98
00:10:39.160 And that's why we're thrilled to introduce the Honest Talk podcast.
00:10:42.880 I'm Jennifer Stewart.
00:10:44.060 And I'm Catherine Clark.
00:10:45.280 And in this podcast, we interview Canada's most inspiring women.
00:10:49.040 Entrepreneurs, artists, athletes, politicians, and newsmakers, all at different stages of their journey.
00:10:54.780 So if you're looking to connect, then we hope you'll join us.
00:10:57.760 Listen to the Honest Talk podcast on iHeartRadio or wherever you listen to your podcasts.
00:11:03.880 All right, we continue with Montana Senator Steve Daines is with us.
00:11:07.620 Let's talk about the one big, beautiful bill.
00:11:10.500 Had a little bit of a setback in the last two days, and that is the Senate parliamentarian trying to do her level best to take out a lot of the Republicans' plans here. 1.00
00:11:24.360 Now, one of the problems is you're looking at an unelected bureaucrat and somebody that was appointed by Harry Reid and somebody that has shown themselves to be pretty left-leaning.
00:11:39.060 And now my understanding is, having spoken with a number of other senators and your colleagues, is that it basically is a matter of shifting and changing the language.
00:11:48.860 And most of what Republicans want will still get in that bill.
00:11:52.720 Are you confident of that?
00:11:54.520 Yeah, you know, literally, Shama, before I came on the air to speak with you, I was going back and forth with Ted Cruz, a couple of my colleagues, as we are making final adjustments.
00:12:05.060 Because you have a chance to go back and clarify language on these arguments before the parliamentarian.
00:12:09.640 I mean, look, we strongly disagree with many of the rulings she has made, but she also has given us the ability to correct some of the bill language to give us a chance to actually get it done.
00:12:19.320 And so that's exactly what's going on right now.
00:12:21.380 And I think we're going to be able to salvage much of what we've been fighting for, not all of it.
00:12:26.260 You win some, you lose some.
00:12:27.220 And let me just say this, Sean, when the Democrats tried, you know, their craziness and their reconciliation bills with Inflation Reduction Act and others, they tried to radically change the immigration policies in this country in terms of pathway to citizenship for illegals.
00:12:40.420 And the parliamentarian stopped it.
00:12:42.220 So this thing does cut both ways.
00:12:43.940 She did rule against the Democrats when they tried some of this. 1.00
00:12:47.140 She's given us the ability to make some modifications.
00:12:49.720 We're working on that as we speak.
00:12:51.640 I don't like a lot of these rulings, but you've got to keep fighting right now.
00:12:54.980 Times are the essence to get this bill done on the president's desk by 4th of July.
00:12:58.840 Well, looking at, for example, she's trying to, you know, take out the provisions. 0.93
00:13:03.640 The Medicaid provided provisions, including changes to federal funding for states and the share of health care provider taxes.
00:13:15.200 My understanding is it just has to apply to all states, and that will be resolved.
00:13:19.200 They were not eligible for approval via the simple majority.
00:13:22.180 Other provisions that were axed include eliminating some Medicaid eligibility for non-citizens, meaning illegal immigrants, adults and children,
00:13:31.960 and lowered the federal medical assistance percentage of funding percentages for states that allow non-citizens to get health care coverage from 90 to 80 percent.
00:13:44.680 Another section that didn't pass muster was blocking federal funding for Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance CHIP program to provide gender transition medical care.
00:13:58.580 You know, as Tommy Tuberville said, the woke Senate parliamentarian who was appointed by Harry Reid and advised Al Gore struck down a provision banning illegal immigrants from stealing Medicaid from American citizens is a perfect example of why Americans hate the swamp.
00:14:17.880 What's your take on his comments?
00:14:19.060 I don't disagree, but I'll say this.
00:14:22.060 The reason we're in this position to get major wins on tax and spending policy is because we're using the reconciliation process.
00:14:32.780 It has these parameters called the bird bath wrapped around it.
00:14:37.600 To get policy outcomes, you typically need 60 votes, not 51.
00:14:41.980 So as long as it meets the threshold of being a spending or tax-type impacted provision and not primarily a policy outcome, that makes it compliant with BERT.
00:14:54.360 Now, Sean, I went to engineering school, not law school.
00:14:57.260 So I'll let my lawyers sort out some of these arguments.
00:15:00.040 And, yes, I don't like a lot of the rulings that have come down, but she's giving us such a chance to come back and make a counterargument.
00:15:06.660 I think we're going to save several of these important revenue and tax outcome issues that will also have policy implications.
00:15:15.360 But the policy argument can't be the primary driver.
00:15:18.260 It has to be taxes and spending.
00:15:20.760 And that's the BERT rule.
00:15:22.040 And that's why sometimes it cuts both ways.
00:15:24.340 All right.
00:15:24.520 We appreciate your time.
00:15:25.600 Steve Daines, great state, beautiful state that it is.
00:15:28.520 Montana, thank you, sir.
00:15:29.660 We appreciate your time.
00:15:31.280 800-941-SHAWN.
00:15:32.840 And as we continue, also, President Trump weighing in on the Supreme Court decision, a big win on birthright citizenship.
00:15:41.220 We'll play his comments on the other side.
00:15:44.500 All right.
00:15:44.700 Let's go to Pam Bondi, President Trump, and Todd Blanche.
00:15:48.900 And at the Supreme Court decision today, the issue, overall issue is birthright citizenship, but more specifically, the interference of lower courts that would prevent a president from doing his job.
00:16:00.880 Well, this was a big one, wasn't it?
00:16:03.700 This was a big decision.
00:16:06.320 An amazing decision, one that we're very happy about.
00:16:09.760 This morning, the Supreme Court has delivered a monumental victory for the Constitution, the separation of powers, and the rule of law.
00:16:19.100 In striking down the excessive use of nationwide injunctions to interfere with the normal functioning of the executive branch, the Supreme Court has stopped the presidency itself.
00:16:29.700 That's what they've done.
00:16:31.640 And really, it's been an amazing period of time, this last hour.
00:16:38.800 There are people elated all over the country.
00:16:40.860 I've seen such happiness and spirit.
00:16:44.060 Sometimes you don't see that, but this case is very important.
00:16:46.820 I was elected on a historic mandate, but in recent months, we've seen a handful of radical left judges effectively try to overrule the rightful powers of the president to stop the American people from getting the policies that they voted for in record numbers.
00:17:02.760 It was a grave threat to democracy, frankly, and instead of merely ruling on the immediate cases before them, these judges have attempted to dictate the law for the entire nation.
00:17:14.660 In practice, this meant that if any one of the nearly 700 federal judges disagreed with the policy of a duly elected president of the United States, he or she could block that policy from going into effect or at least delay it for many years, tie it up in the court system.
00:17:32.220 This was a colossal abuse of power, which never occurred in American history prior to recent decades, and we've been hit with more nationwide injunctions than were issued in the entire 20th century together.
00:17:46.280 Think of it more than the entire 20th century, me.
00:17:49.400 I'm grateful to the Supreme Court for stepping in and solving this very, very big and complex problem, and they've made it very simple.
00:17:59.960 I want to thank Justice Barrett, who wrote the opinion brilliantly, as well as Chief Justice Roberts and Justices Alito, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Thomas.
00:18:09.960 Great people.
00:18:11.880 Thanks for this decision and thanks to this decision.
00:18:16.020 We can now promptly file to proceed with numerous policies that have been wrongly enjoined on a nationwide basis, and some of the cases we're talking about would be ending birthright citizenship, which now comes to the fore.
00:18:31.480 That was meant for the babies of slaves. 0.99
00:18:33.640 It wasn't meant for people trying to scam the system and come into the country on a vacation.
00:18:39.260 This was, in fact, it was the same date, the exact same date, the end of the Civil War.
00:18:43.360 It was meant for the babies of slaves, and it's so clean and so obvious, but this lets us go there and finally win that case because hundreds of thousands of people are pouring into our country under birthright citizenship, and it wasn't meant for that reason. 0.89
00:18:57.380 It was meant for the babies of slaves. 1.00
00:18:59.340 So thanks to this decision, we can now promptly file to proceed with these numerous policies and those that have been wrongly enjoined on a nationwide basis, including birthright citizenship, ending sanctuary city funding, suspending refugee resettlement, freezing unnecessary funding, stopping federal taxpayers from paying for transgender surgeries, and numerous other priorities of the American people.
00:19:26.240 We have so many of them.
00:19:27.240 We have so many of them.
00:19:28.440 I have a whole list.
00:19:29.140 I'm not going to bore you, and I'm going to have Pam get up and say a few words, but there's really – she can talk as long as she wants because this is a very important decision.
00:19:37.440 This is a decision that covers a tremendous amount of territory.
00:19:42.000 But I want to just thank, again, the Supreme Court for this ruling.
00:19:45.180 It's a giant.
00:19:46.340 It's a giant.
00:19:47.040 And they should be very proud, and our country should be very proud of the Supreme Court today.
00:19:52.940 And with that, I'd like you to listen to the words of Pam Bondi.
00:19:57.560 She's an incredible attorney general. 0.71
00:19:59.040 We're very proud of her.
00:20:00.640 And as you know, Todd Blanch is with us, and we have so many others that worked on this case and other cases.
00:20:08.040 And I think they're doing a great job.
00:20:09.640 Pam, please say a few words.
00:20:14.740 Thank you, President Trump.
00:20:17.040 Thank you for fighting for all Americans.
00:20:20.040 Americans are finally getting what they voted for.
00:20:23.120 No longer will we have rogue judges striking down President Trump's policies across the entire nation.
00:20:30.980 No longer.
00:20:32.160 Today, in the 6-3 opinion, Justice Barrett correctly holds that the district court lacks authority to enter nationwide or universal injunctions.
00:20:41.740 These lawless injunctions gave relief to everyone in the world.
00:20:46.180 Instead of the parties before the court.
00:20:49.280 As the Supreme Court held today, they turned district courts into the imperial judiciary.
00:20:56.700 Active liberal justices, judges, have used these injunctions to block virtually all of President Trump's policies.
00:21:04.800 To put this in perspective, there are 94 federal judicial districts.
00:21:12.400 Five of those districts throughout this country held 35 of the nationwide injunctions.
00:21:19.720 Think about that.
00:21:20.840 Ninety-four districts.
00:21:21.900 And 35 out of the 40 opinions with nationwide injunctions came from five liberal districts in this country.
00:21:30.900 No longer.
00:21:32.520 No longer.
00:21:33.800 These injunctions have blocked our policies from tariffs to military readiness to immigration to foreign affairs, fraud, abuse, and many other issues.
00:21:42.580 The judges have tried to seize the executive branch's power, and they cannot do that.
00:21:49.160 No longer.
00:21:50.040 No longer.
00:21:50.940 And on immigration, on a side note, today marks 2,711 arrests on these terrorists and these gangs.
00:22:01.180 Total arrest today with HSI investigations.
00:22:04.900 And thank you, Stephen Miller.
00:22:06.820 Thank you to Homeland Security.
00:22:08.960 Thank you to everyone working hand-in-hand with the FBI on all of these transnational gangs.
00:22:15.400 TDA has been a huge terror to our country, as well as MS-13, as well as Sinaloa cartels.
00:22:21.720 No longer.
00:22:23.200 No longer.
00:22:24.360 These injunctions have allowed district court judges to be emperors.
00:22:28.840 They vetoed all of President Trump's power, and they cannot do that.
00:22:33.880 This has been a bipartisan problem that has lasted five presidential terms, five different presidents, and it has ended today.
00:22:45.040 We will continue to fight for President Trump's policies.
00:22:48.220 I want to thank the Office of White House Counsel, Dave Warrington.
00:22:51.660 You and your staff have been incredible.
00:22:53.580 Our Solicitor General's Office, John Sowers, Sarah Harris, and Todd Blanche and Amel Bovee.
00:22:59.260 Todd's going to say a few words because we've had another major ruling today on transgender books and some other great wins that we've had.
00:23:07.920 But no longer will they have this power in our country.
00:23:11.100 It is the president's authority under his executive branch to do everything to fight for the American people, and he will continue to do that.
00:23:19.520 That's why he was overwhelmingly elected.
00:23:22.120 Thank you.
00:23:22.580 Thank you.
00:23:24.060 Today is a great day for the rule of law.
00:23:27.540 It's a great day for the Justice Department, and it's one that's been a long time coming and one that every American should have been waiting for with bated breath.
00:23:36.180 And so I echo what the president said and Attorney General Bondi, that the Supreme Court did a great thing today, not only for this administration, but for every American in this country.
00:23:47.780 If not for the injunctions case, we would be here talking about another great decision that came down today, the trans books case, which restores parents' rights to decide their child's education.
00:23:57.920 It seems like a basic idea, but it took the Supreme Court to set the record state, and we thank them for that.
00:24:03.960 And now that ruling allows parents to opt out of dangerous trans ideology and make the decisions for their children that they believe is correct. 0.57
00:24:13.020 And so we thank the Supreme Court for that.
00:24:14.720 There's been multiple decisions over the past several weeks that just show why this injunction, why this nationwide injunction ban had to happen.
00:24:23.320 For example, what I mean by that is local district court judges issuing decisions that are clearly contrary to law just because they don't like the policy of President Trump.
00:24:33.420 And when it gets to the Supreme Court, the Supreme Court has to correct it.
00:24:36.660 But that takes time.
00:24:38.080 The Attorney General thanked our lawyers, and I'll do it again.
00:24:41.800 Our lawyers are working 24 hours a day, seven days a week to fight these injunctions and to emergency appeals, emergency states, going back to the district court judge, asking them to change their view.
00:24:52.000 And so their hard work is really paying off today, but over the past few weeks.
00:24:57.160 We had a stay of an order that prevented DHS from moving aliens to a third country.
00:25:02.020 We had a stay of an order that stopped the Department of Defense from implementing military readiness, the EO that President Trump signed.
00:25:09.000 We had another stay of an order forcing reinstatement of fired executive branch employees entirely within the president and Article 2, his right to do.
00:25:16.860 We had a stay of, as you all know, of numerous DOGE cases.
00:25:20.860 And again, every one of those stays requires a tremendous amount of work and effort by the lawyers and parties involved.
00:25:28.540 And they should be doing other work.
00:25:29.760 They should be doing the work that the president and this administration demands and has a right to demand, and not fighting these local judges who don't make decisions based on the law.
00:25:40.460 They make decisions because they just simply don't agree with the administration's decision about a policy, and that's wrong.
00:25:46.920 Thank you.
00:25:49.460 Any questions?
00:25:53.260 Yes, for Pam, please.
00:25:55.300 Go ahead.
00:25:56.060 Sure.
00:25:56.740 Thank you, Madam Attorney General.
00:25:59.100 So, as you know, the Supreme Court did not rule on the underlying constitutionality of the president's birthright citizenship order.
00:26:07.440 So, what is the plan now?
00:26:09.740 Are you going to try to implement the EO just in states where there isn't a legal challenge?
00:26:15.020 Yes.
00:26:15.320 So, birthright citizenship will be decided in October, in the next session, by the Supreme Court, unless it comes down in the next few minutes.
00:26:22.880 I guess it could come down.
00:26:24.240 I think they're still deliberating right now on some cases.
00:26:27.740 As you heard, we just got transgender books, which is a huge win.
00:26:31.020 But most likely, that will be decided in October, in the next session.
00:26:35.280 However, it indirectly impacts us because, as you correctly pointed out, if there's a birthright citizenship case in Oregon, it will only affect the plaintiff in Oregon, not the entire country.
00:26:46.860 So, yes, it's indirectly, but that's pending litigation, and we're waiting on that in the next term.
00:26:51.100 And how concerned are you that the Supreme Court will come back and determine that the executive order is unconstitutional?
00:26:56.400 Oh, we're very confident in the Supreme Court.
00:26:58.720 But, again, it's pending litigation, and that will directly be determined in October.
00:27:03.080 But it indirectly impacts every case in this country, and we're thrilled with their decision today.
00:27:08.520 Peter.
00:27:08.860 Madam Attorney General, thank you for being here to take our questions.
00:27:11.140 A couple questions to the both of you.
00:27:12.780 The EO had a 30-day grace period before it goes into effect.
00:27:16.780 Is there any thought about trying to make it effective immediately within that period of time?
00:27:22.080 We're going to follow the law.
00:27:23.100 We're going to make those decisions, and we're going to do what's right in the bounds of the law.
00:27:26.440 And then the DOJ didn't ask the justices to rule on the merits of the birthright citizenship ban.
00:27:31.920 Just for explanation purposes, why?
00:27:33.840 Sure, because that's going to come down in October.
00:27:37.580 This was huge because it's indirectly impacted today.
00:27:41.360 As I said, now it's case by case.
00:27:44.160 Let me reiterate, of the 35 of the 40 nationwide injunctions filed against this president,
00:27:51.260 against his executive authority as president of the United States,
00:27:55.220 35 of them came from Maryland, D.C., Massachusetts, California, Washington.
00:28:01.600 And that's crazy.
00:28:02.920 These five districts.
00:28:04.380 So, yes, it indirectly impacts us.
00:28:06.380 It will be a separate decision in October.
00:28:08.280 All right, that was President Trump and the Attorney General Pam Bondi and Todd Blanche from earlier today.
