00:01:36.620As America marks its 250th anniversary, we're looking back at two and a half centuries of rebellion and liberty through the eyes of the heroes who defended it.
00:01:45.360The whole thing about this country is freedom. If we're not careful, we could lose that.
00:01:50.720On Medal of Honor, Stories of Courage, we bring you the defining moments of valor that went above and beyond the call of duty.
00:01:58.840Listen to Medal of Honor on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
00:02:07.180Welcome. It is Vertical Center Ted Cruz, Ben Ferguson with you as well.
00:02:11.060And it's nice to have you with us, Senator.
00:02:12.700We got a one heck of a show with a lot of behind the scenes action happening with the luncheon you were in with a lot of other senators and President Donald Trump.
00:02:22.560this week, President Trump came to join the Senate Republican lunch, and he was in there for
00:02:28.360about a full hour, and it was a contentious lunch. You know, what I said to reporters afterwards,
00:02:36.280I think the adjective I used was spirited, and to use another Washington euphemism,
00:02:46.220frank and candid conversation occurred uh and and the president was very upset in particular
00:02:55.300at at four republican senators uh that had voted to use the war powers act uh to restrict his
00:03:02.700authority in iran to to launch uh military actions against iran and he was extremely displeased uh
00:03:11.720with that vote, and it then proceeded. As a matter of policy, I don't repeat what my colleagues have
00:03:20.640said, but at this point, it has been universally reported that the president and Bill Cassidy,
00:03:26.500the senator from Louisiana, got into a screaming match, and it was as tense as anything I've ever
00:03:31.780seen. Cassidy himself has confirmed that to the press afterwards. Now, obviously, President Trump
00:03:39.480endorsed against bill cassidy uh in his primary in louisiana and and defeated bill so he he is
00:03:47.420not there that there's a runoff uh in louisiana and and bill did not make the top two he was third
00:03:53.600in the race and and so uh and cassidy uh in turn had previously voted to convict president trump
00:04:00.820during the trump impeachment and so the president understandably was not happy about the vote to
00:04:06.420convicted him in impeachment and was not happy with Bill's vote to limit his ability to defend
00:04:14.980this nation and launch military attacks against Iran. You know, that's interesting, the part there,
00:04:21.000and obviously you guys have these lunches, and I want to be respectful of you and others that are,
00:04:28.320you know, obviously in that meeting. But I've got some questions just based on what's been the
00:04:31.900median, and we're going to do that in a second. But first, I want to tell you about Patriot Mobile
00:04:35.760and this company that you really need to know about
00:04:38.260that's making a difference every single day.
00:04:40.340If you think wireless companies are all the same,
00:04:43.160you might need to take a look at Patriot Mobile.
00:04:45.800Patriot Mobile isn't just different because of its mission.
00:04:48.900It's actually built to outperform the carriers you have and use right now.

00:06:19.220Make the switch and make a difference every time you pay your bill.
00:06:22.560So, Senator, a lot of this has been reported on.
00:06:24.300There's a lot on X about this right now with Cassie.
00:06:26.520Were you and were your colleagues kind of expecting that there was going to be some sort of moment because sometimes people telegraph beforehand?
00:06:34.100Or were you and others taken just kind of shocked by how that went in?
00:06:38.380The intensity of it. Look, look, it probably needed to be gotten out.
00:06:44.740But but the intensity of it was, you know, I'm reading what what Cassidy said.
00:06:51.060So, for example, here's what The New York Post has reported.
00:06:54.340President Trump and Senator Bill Cassidy got into a shouting match during a lunch meeting Wednesday over the U.S. war with Iran.
00:07:01.860GOP senators described Trump as being, quote, mad as a murder hornet, raising his voice at the Louisiana Republican.
00:07:09.460Cassidy, and this is Cassidy's public comments, so I'm happy to repeat those.
00:07:13.260Cassidy, who later quipped that the talks went swimmingly, called the president, my brother, several times during the heated exchange, Senate GOP sources said.
00:07:23.460The president spat back that Cassidy wasn't his brother and told him to sit down.
00:07:27.800And here's what Cassidy told reporters.
00:07:32.220Quote, Trump did not particularly care for my comments, raised his voice.
00:07:49.500But I'll tell you what, it had an interesting effect, as intense as it was, because we had another vote after that exchange on the war powers, and Cassidy switched his vote.
00:08:02.560And there was also an exchange, Rand Paul had voted, he was one of the four, and listen, the President and Rand have a friendship.
00:08:11.660He and Rand disagree on a lot of issues, but the President likes Rand, and so it was a very different exchange with Rand than it was with Cassidy.
00:08:20.300And Rand did something which I've never seen him do before, which is he voted present rather than voting for the War Powers Resolution.
00:08:35.740In particular, look, the president's case, and I thought it was quite reasonable, is he said, we're in the middle of negotiating with Iran, and while we're negotiating with Iran, it comes over the TV that the Senate has blocked me from being able to continue with conducting the war.
00:08:54.260And he said, you completely undercut my ability to negotiate with Iran.0.56
00:08:58.980And I think the president, that was a very understandable point and a fair point.0.89
00:09:05.260And it ended up moving those two votes.
00:09:10.700Well, when you're an average person listening right now, and there's a lot of people listening that are in states where these senators who have lost and others have said no, did this.
00:09:22.640And is that justifiable or is it just understanding the politics of this moment?
00:09:26.960Look, the politics of this moment are unique and Donald Trump is is a black swan event.
00:09:35.660There is nobody else in public life. There is no other Donald Trump.
00:09:39.120And so he will say things. He is regularly that there are different senators that he disagrees with.
00:09:45.980And when he disagrees with you, he can do it with with both barrels.
00:09:49.420And, you know, I've been on the receiving end of that, but that was a decade ago when we were running against each other.
00:09:56.960And to be fair, I've criticized him. He's criticized me.
00:10:00.140I'm now his strongest ally in the Senate, and we're very good friends now.
00:10:03.780But he is willing to take the bark off someone, and that was certainly true in the Senate lunch this week.
00:10:11.960All right. One of the reasons why I love doing this show is we get to take you behind the scenes,
00:10:15.420especially when there's big deals like this Republican lunch with with Donald Trump and
00:10:20.380Senator Cruz taking us behind the scenes about that I know one of the big questions everyone
00:10:23.860listening right now is going to ask Senator is all right was the Save Act mentioned and what was said
00:10:28.260well sure the president urged the Senate to pass the Save America Act and and I strongly agree with
00:10:34.460him on that I'm I'm an original sponsor of the Save America Act I've been making the case to
00:10:38.960my colleagues for months that that we should do everything humanly possible to pass the Save
00:10:44.580America Act. In particular, we should force the Democrats to do a talking filibuster, to stand up
00:10:50.120and talk and talk and talk, just like Jimmy Stewart did in Mr. Smith Goes to Washington,
00:10:55.580just like I did when I filibustered for 21 hours against Obamacare. And we should
00:11:01.760keep the Senate in session and make them work and make them fight. The president made that case
00:11:06.440vigorously. The difficulty is there are several Republicans in the Senate who oppose him on that.
00:11:12.400And so it ended up not being a huge part of what was discussed.
00:11:17.020It was the president talked about it for a few minutes and pressed his case.
00:11:21.320And I very much agree with him on that. But I would say 90 percent of the discussion was about Iran and and in particular how mad he was at the War Powers vote that that he felt that that vote had really undercut him.
00:11:35.140And he was and then it blew up, as we just described, where he and Cassidy really went at each other.
00:11:41.180Senator, I want to go back to the filibuster you mentioned. This has been talked about so much on TV. You have a lot of allies there that are advocating for what you just talked about and the idea of having this talking filibuster. You famously have done this before. But in this scenario, would it look just like one man talking or with so many different allies that you have that talked about this publicly? Would it be multiple people asking questions? Is that part of the reason why it's an intriguing idea?
00:12:06.680Yeah. Well, look, part of what you would do is is the Senate can keep itself in one legislative day for days, for weeks, for months, potentially.
00:12:18.680And there is a rule in the Senate that is the two speech rule, which is that which is that a senator can't speak more than twice in a single legislative day.
00:12:27.060And so the approach would be to exhaust the Democrats, to make them talk, to make them stand up there and keep talking and talking.
00:12:34.180they can people can ask questions and if the senator speaking wants to yield for a question
00:12:39.800they can the the challenge of doing that is it would require the republicans keeping at least
00:12:45.86050 of us nearby to be able to produce a quorum because one of the ways the democrats would fight
00:12:52.420us is is they would suggest the absence of a quorum and as i said we've got several republican
00:12:58.280senators who are resisting that yeah and that's that's part of the reporting that's been
00:13:04.200interesting as you described it that's look the president knows how to count as well
00:13:08.020he also did and there was a moment where he he came out after the meeting and he did say this
00:13:13.700to the american people and i want to play it for you great meeting and we're very proud of the
00:13:20.860party like everybody really in the room i don't like a few people but that's okay i think you
00:13:26.080know who they are but we i'll give you i'll give you that information someday but for the most part
00:13:32.120we have a really well unified party and i said it very strongly we have the hottest country anywhere
00:13:37.860in the world we're the most powerful we're the smartest we're the most respected two years ago
00:13:42.900we were a laughing stock all over the world we had a terrible group of people representatives
00:13:48.340every leader i just left g7 every leader and we had a lot of people in addition to g7 as you know
00:13:54.720came. Everyone said what we've done in a year and a half is a miracle. We have the hottest country
00:14:01.200in the world and we want to keep it that way. We have more factories being built right now
00:14:06.500than we have at any point at any time in the history of our country. And all of those factories
00:14:11.900are opening up soon. It's all jobs. And our job numbers are incredible anyway. I see that oil
00:14:44.480Well, that's been very much what the president has been saying.
00:14:47.740And, you know, I will say, listening to the president in that news conference, it reminds me, this week I was joking with Senator Bernie Moreno.
00:14:58.920We were like, you know, boy, the president got pretty hot under the collar, and I made a wisecrack.0.85
00:15:03.460I said, you know, I think the president must be Latino, because that was some Latin temper there.0.99
00:15:10.020And Bernie came back, and he said, you know, I think you're right.0.99
00:15:13.120And just like a Latino, he gets mad, and then he's just fine, like, moments afterwards.1.00
00:15:17.520And, you know, by the press conference, I mean, he was pissed in that room and then the press conference, he was rightly focusing on the unity we have, although I wouldn't say there was a ton of unity in that particular lunch, but the unity we have more broadly and everything we're getting accomplished.1.00
00:15:37.720You know, it was also interesting on the Iran deal.
00:15:41.540He was mad about the war powers vote, but he did not.
00:15:45.580Listen, I've been quite public and vocal that I'm concerned that the president is getting very bad advice on this deal.0.86
00:15:56.080And I think it is – history is clear that giving billions of dollars to theocratic lunatics who want to murder us is a very bad idea.
00:16:08.060And the terms of the Memorandum of Understanding that J.D. Vance negotiated say the United States with regional partners will provide $300 billion to the Ayatollah and the mullahs in Iran.0.57
00:16:22.320And that, I think, is a really bad idea.
00:16:26.300I don't think it is in U.S. national security interest.
00:16:29.220What was interesting about the lunch is President Trump is well aware of my concerns and several other Republican senators have expressed concerns along those same lines.
00:16:41.140And he didn't – he wasn't arguing with those.
00:16:45.820I'm glad he's hearing those concerns because I think those who are giving him the advice of sending billions of dollars to Iran I think are giving him poor advice.
00:16:56.160uh and and that was not a major topic of the discussion at the lunch all right i want to
00:17:02.780take a moment i want to talk to you about a really awesome organization and if you are pro-life and
00:17:07.920you're proud to stand up for the rights of unborn children the supreme court ruled that abortion
00:17:13.160drugs can keep being sent through the mail no doctor visit no in-person exam no one checking
00:17:21.300whether a woman is being pressured, whether she's too far along, whether she's safe.
00:17:27.100These are powerful drugs, and right now, there is almost nothing standing between these drugs
00:19:03.620And if you are a Second Amendment advocate like you and I are, you're glad about this.
00:19:07.380Well, this week it was a major Second Amendment victory at the Supreme Court. The case is Wolford versus Lopez. And Hawaii had passed a really broad gun control law, and it was known as Act 52. It passed in 2023.
00:19:24.420And it made it a crime for a licensed concealed carry holder to carry a firearm onto private property that is open to the public unless the owner gave express permission.
00:19:38.520And the consequence of that would mean if you had a permit to concealed carry, you couldn't walk into, say, a grocery store.
00:19:47.500You couldn't walk into an apartment store unless the owner explicitly said, I give you permission to carry a firearm here.
00:19:56.280As a practical matter, that was a really broad ban on a right that is protected by the Constitution.
00:20:05.540And so the Supreme Court struck it down. The vote was six to three. Justice Sam Alito wrote the majority. And what the court said is that, well, there were several opinions.
00:20:22.060So Justice Alito wrote the main opinion. He was joined by Chief Justice Roberts, Justice Thomas, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Barrett, and held that the Hawaii law burdened the right to bear arms.
00:20:34.120The plaintiffs are – the Second Amendment says the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.
00:20:40.500And the majority said that you can't take away that right that broadly and struck it down.
00:20:49.480this is again i i love when we get these rulings and it reminds people just why presidential
00:20:54.700elections are so important because these are the types of rulings that happen even after people
00:20:59.400leave the white house and and and this is why it's important that we have a conservative majority on
00:21:03.680the court uh that i i go back i gotta remind people you got a book coming out with clarence
00:21:08.480thomas this is a perfect example of why having people like clarence thomas uh on the on the
00:21:15.060Supreme Court is so important. And remind people the name of the book so they can go get it. There's
00:21:20.260a site up right now where they can preorder as well. Going further, the incomparable Clarence
00:21:26.400Thomas is the name of the book. It's coming out in August. It's a biography. It talks about his
00:21:31.080life story. It talks about his jurisprudence. And actually, a big part of his jurisprudence
00:21:37.360was highly relevant in this decision because what Hawaii argued is it went back on historical
00:21:43.660evidence and argued that that hawaii had colonial laws uh that that gave it the power to do this
00:21:51.520and and the supreme court said no uh those dealt with poaching or hunting or protecting rural land
00:21:57.880and and sure you can't go on someone else's land and say hunt uh hunt wildlife on their land that's
00:22:03.580very different from saying land that is open to the public like a gas station or grocery store
00:22:09.220that you can just turn ordinary citizens exercising their constitutional rights automatically into criminals.
00:22:17.060And Hawaii in particular pointed to an 1865 Louisiana Black Code statute as saying,
00:22:26.000well, this gives us a basis for passing this law.
00:22:29.660And Justice Alito's majority pointed out that that was a law that was designed to disarm freed black Americans who – this was right after the Civil War.
00:22:47.020and and you look at these black codes they were driven by klansmen and and by the way the klansmen
00:22:54.760were all democrats who did not want the newly freed slaves to be able to defend themselves
00:23:00.700why because they wanted the clan to be able to terrorize them uh murder them threaten them with
00:23:06.540violence and if they had a firearm to defend themselves uh that would be harder to do and and
00:23:11.520justice thomas has written extensively about that doing the research during reconstruction
00:23:16.540that that the long racist history of wanting to disarm African-Americans to make them vulnerable
00:23:26.040to violence. And that played an important part in this Supreme Court decision this week.
00:23:31.340Senator, there's one red flag here I want to raise. And not only did the Supreme Court
00:23:36.060shut down what Hawaii was doing, but to be clear, Hawaii was attempting to make the Second Amendment
00:23:41.320disappear from everyday life that is something that's concerning because this is now the
00:23:46.980democratic party this is what they want to do they want to take away your right to protect and
00:23:51.280defend yourself they want to take away your right to not only at home but anywhere at your business
00:23:55.480or anywhere else and and they don't care what about our second amendment right at all that to
00:24:02.460them is meaningless and you witness that here and that goes back to the dissent when you look at
00:24:07.720this decision what were the other three saying because if you're dissenting to this i would
00:24:12.620assume you'd have to make it based on the fact that well i don't even believe the second amendment
00:24:16.220is an issue that spring court should even even take into consideration well there were three
00:24:21.480dissenters uh justice kagan justice jackson and justice sotomayor and and all three of them would
00:24:27.860have upheld the hawaii law uh and and they argued that the case was really about property law and
00:24:34.320And they argued in particular that no one has a constitutional right to enter private property without consent.
00:24:41.920And so it didn't matter whether you were armed or not.
00:24:46.880But, you know, there have long been, number one, laws governing public accommodations.
00:24:52.420So, for example, you can't have a hotel that only rents rooms to white people and not African Americans.
00:25:02.640That's illegal under our civil rights laws that once you open it up at a public accommodation, you have to offer it freely to the people who come in.
00:25:10.760And in this instance, shutting down those – look, it's one thing.
00:25:17.240Anyone can exclude someone from their property.
00:25:19.440No one has a right to enter your home or my home.
00:25:22.760But when you open up your property, when you have a store or a gas station or whatever, and you're inviting people into your property, the effect of that would turn law-abiding citizens into criminals.
00:25:37.020And that's because, listen, the left is not hiding that their objective, they want to erase the Second Amendment from the Constitution.
00:25:46.980They want to ban the private ownership of firearms.
00:25:50.400And Hawaii was taking a significant step in that direction by making it extremely difficult for people to carry a firearm and be able to defend themselves.
00:25:59.000And, you know, Ben, you've got personal experience.
00:26:01.560Tell folks your experience and how carrying a gun literally saved your life.
00:26:07.460Yeah, I mean, I'm such an advocate for this.
00:26:09.820It's the reason why I ended up buying a gun store and having a gun range and having the classes to get your permit to carry.
00:26:15.460now it's constitutional carry in in tennessee and so many other states but being able to protect
00:26:19.780and defend yourself if i didn't have a gun the night that i was a target of a gang initiation
00:26:23.680uh you would have come to my funeral that's not a joke uh there was two two gang members it's
00:26:28.860called getting blood in the gang and and one of the senior members it gets another guy in the gang
00:26:33.400and they have to kill somebody and they do that so they have something on them so that the gang
00:26:38.040members will never flip or narc or wear a wire because they can go to the police and and say hey
00:26:42.640there's a shooting that happened at this time at this place and it's a it's a it's a it's a
00:26:47.360brilliant business structure if you think about it i almost i when they explained it to me the
00:26:51.440police did i was like okay wow that's that's shocking but i was able to use my firearm pull
00:26:57.120it and shoot back and save my life and my best friend's life who happened to be with me and thank
00:27:01.720goodness he wasn't shot either uh but it was it was a shootout and and i tell you like i look at
00:27:06.720this hawaii and it's personal for me and any other state where they try to take away your right to
00:27:11.620protect and defend yourself because you have that right that's what makes this country so great and
00:27:16.320when you see these these supreme court justices who just say i don't care what that what america
00:27:21.220was found i don't care about the second amendment and the same way in hawaii they basically said we
00:27:25.240don't care what the laws were or are or what is in this country that makes it america we're just
00:27:31.060going to change what we want to and having three supreme court justices who make the decision the
00:27:36.940way that you just described it. It goes back to this is why presidential elections matter,
00:27:41.340because when you lose, these are the types of people that get on the Supreme Court and they
00:27:46.040can undo this country. Yeah. I mean, look, Gavin Newsom, who by any measure is one of
00:27:51.500the leading frontrunners for the Democrat nomination for president, he tweeted out in
00:27:56.200response to this, quote, gun laws keep people safe. This ruling by Trump's Supreme Court will
00:28:02.580only endanger people. If Justice Alito really thinks people need guns to go to the grocery store
00:28:08.520for self-defense, this country is truly broken. By the way, where were you when these gang
00:28:18.120members tried to kill you? So I was in Memphis, Tennessee. It was literally a block and a half
00:28:24.120from the entrance to the large Mid-South Fair. So when it happened, they put a gun to my head
00:28:30.600at one point and there were a family with a stroller walking past us and he had to move the
00:28:35.260gun from the side of my head down to the inside and he told me to shake his blanking hand i had
00:28:40.120to shake hands with the guy that had just beat me up and it had a gun to my head that's how close
00:28:45.180we were to the fair we actually didn't even have to dial 911 we just ran down the street to a
00:28:50.340police officer that was directing traffic that's how close they were to us and the police officer
00:28:54.440said we heard the gunshots uh and and so you know you look at those types of people that's what
00:28:59.560you're up against and that's why you got to be able to protect and you got to be able to defend
00:29:03.740yourself and if the democrats have their way you won't you won't be able to carry a firearm and
00:29:09.420defend yourself and and that's that's what they believe take a spin hit the tables or join the

00:30:37.120listen to news world on the iheart radio app apple podcast or wherever you get your podcast
00:30:43.820why should you listen to armstrong and getty on demand we're not boring a lot of news is boring
00:30:49.940and tedious and depressing and makes you angry you don't want to live your life like that
00:30:54.780Hey, I'm Jack Armstrong. He's Joe Getty.
00:32:41.380Both instances, Justice Alito wrote the opinion.
00:32:43.540So all three of these opinions were written by Justice Alito.
00:32:45.980He had an incredibly strong week defending our rights.
00:32:49.020One of the cases, the Mullen versus Al Otro Lado, what it concluded is that an illegal immigrant on the other side of the border in Mexico has not entered into the United States for purposes of immigration law.
00:33:05.440And the Biden administration had adopted a policy where they treated illegal immigrants who weren't in the country as if they were in the country, and that they had a right to all sorts of processes before they come into the country.
00:33:20.780Now, remember, starting in the first Trump term, President Trump implemented what was called the Remain in Mexico policy, which dramatically reduced illegal immigration in the first Trump term, and that was preventing illegal immigrants from coming to this country in the first place.
00:33:35.040And this was an effort to to ignore the plain language of the of the immigration laws.
00:33:45.500And I led an amicus brief. Amicus curiae is Latin for friend of the court.
00:33:51.660And and I led an amicus brief that was joined by five members of Congress supporting the Trump administration's policy of stopping immigrants, prevent illegal immigrants, stopping them from coming into the country.
00:34:02.740And the Supreme Court agreed with my brief, agreed with with the Trump Department of Justice, handed down that victory.
00:34:09.480And then the other case, which which is Mullen versus Doe, the court concluded that that temporary protected status, which which the Biden administration had awarded to hundreds of thousands of Haitians and Syrians.
00:34:25.640that that president trump could reverse that that it wasn't a permanent uh grant of amnesty
00:34:33.580that decision likewise was was hugely important for the successes i mean remember in this second
00:34:39.700trump term we have seen illegal border crossings drop 99 that's a staggering victory and the
00:34:46.820supreme court upheld the president's ability to continue to continue enforcing the law
00:37:22.100There are going to be a lot of jobs that are open and a lot of people in home health care industries
00:37:25.920that are not going to receive any service because their providers are going to be removed from the United States.
00:37:30.540There are a lot of people who are going to die and suffer because of the account of this.
00:37:34.540So I wish this court was more of a court of equity than they say they were a court of policy right now.
00:37:39.180So I am the chair of the Haitian Bridge Alliance, which is the United States organization that represents these Haitians before the Supreme Court.
00:37:46.360And we have made the argument that not just his comments, but also in the writings and just recently even the discovered e-mails from Kristi Noem about the clear conversations they've made about Haitians and black immigrants in general when you even look at the refugee policy.
00:37:59.440And this court has said, even with that information, there's nothing for us to do here, which seems to be extremely problematic along party lines.
00:38:07.980And today, you've seen something that I haven't seen in the Supreme Court in a very long time, is that you've seen the justice sort of read dissents that are 35 pages from the bar.
00:38:15.600So even in the Supreme Court, you see not the harmony that generally exists there in peaceful dissent in saying that this is outside the norm.
00:38:23.280And because it is outside the norm, because it isn't about just policy and procedure, this is about people and human engagement.
00:38:30.120And the concept that people keep saying that the problem is that it's temporary status and it's been longer than temporary, well, change the word.
00:38:38.000Don't put people's lives in danger because you feel that that arbitrarily moves something.
00:38:43.160And as stated before, there are a million or so classes of TPS individuals who are here legally working.
00:38:47.840So they're authorized. They've been vetted.
00:38:49.280There's none of the concerns that you have with people who may come in undocumented, as well as they're supporting our economy.
00:38:55.560And when you remove those individuals, you draw down all of those work areas.
00:38:59.580So all those jobs they're doing, all of these companies that were relying on these TPS workers to work tomorrow are going to have to make decisions about them leaving today.
00:39:06.800So this is not a big win that we think we're going to celebrate.
00:39:09.520And there are 350 million or more Americans in the United States.
00:39:12.900A million TPS holders are not causing some economic burden on the United States.
00:39:17.960Senator, you listen to that, and you would think the sky is falling,
00:39:21.960and that is how they're covering it on MSNOW, the former MSNBC.
00:39:25.580Yeah, look, the left wants open borders.
00:39:28.700We saw under Joe Biden 12 million people invade this country,
00:39:32.560and that included criminals, it included murderers and rapists and terrorists and child molesters.
00:39:38.400And that's what these advocates want.0.89
00:39:41.220And by the way, you look at from Haiti.
00:39:43.540Haiti right now is rocked with massive violence.
00:39:46.500It is all but chaos in Haiti as the gangs have taken over, and those are the people that the left is trying to bring in.
00:39:56.840And let me be clear, the immigration law that was being decided on here says explicitly no judicial review of any determination,0.90
00:40:06.240and yet that's what the court followed, and yet the dissenters don't care what the statute says.
