presidents nationwide who can all veto each other. It is impossible to have a country in that way. And it's impossible to have a border in that way.
that, Andrew, because we've definitely had nationwide injunctions under the Biden administration, under the Obama administration. I think there were nationwide injunctions on provisions of Obamacare until that went to the Supreme Court. I think there have been nationwide injunctions on, I think, some gun-related stuff.

Well, if we were going to have a showdown with the courts, I think immigration is the best place to have a showdown with them. It's where we most consistently have judges trying to do things that are insane, where they're basically saying you're not allowed to deport.

any illegal criminals like it's almost like 25 of the federal judiciary is just far-left radicals who believe there's like article one of the constitution is just america has open borders no matter what and so it's a good fight to have in that sense i do hope that they're 110 on like All of this implodes immediately if they ever accidentally deport someone who is a U.S. citizen, for example.

So I hope they're 110% on that. But if all of them are foreign gang members and they've come in huge numbers under Biden, that's definitely the best way that Trump can justify, I need dramatic action. It's also a good area to fight because... The president's authority over immigration under the law is very high.

The president basically can exclude people that he deems a threat to the United States. The president, as commander-in-chief, has the very explicit constitutional authority to defend the United States. And I think they're on strong grounds if they say... okay, maybe 100 years ago, this would get invoked primarily during wartime.

But these days, you don't have as much war between states, but you have far greater ability for non-state actors, such as criminal gangs, to just intrude into your country and cause mayhem. And I think the Trump administration is on strong grounds to say that is the modern version of of a military invasion of, you know, a foreign horde showing up and trying to sack your cities.

And the president needs like needs to invoke aggressive powers to combat this. I'd much rather be having them show down with the courts over this than, you know, for example, over we'll probably discuss this later, like the auto pen thing. I think this is something where the interest of the American people is very clear. And you're forcing Democrats into this box of defending.

Oh, yeah, we don't want gang members deported. And eventually they'll be able to say this guy was involved in a home invasion. This guy was involved in murders. This guy was caught with 10 kilos of fentanyl. There's so many things they can get them on.

despite his some of his own uh shooting himself in the foot sometimes president trump or the republicans we've got him on the run there's no doubt about it yeah no they're in they're in disarray for sure but i think you want to be careful about these because that's getting very caught up in the moment to moment of uh you know, the political noise.

And the truth is, is I mean, the Democrats are half the country. They're inevitably going to get together and they could get together in ways that could be pretty scary. Like, yeah, if Chuck Schumer is getting denounced by everyone in his party for making the deal on spending, that's a sign that they could shift in a more in a more radical direction.
