Deal or Detonate? Trump Weighs Iran Endgame plus Spain's Socialism DOOMING their Country · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: So there is a mix of growing pressure as the
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: United States and Iran have now entered day two into
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: day three of technical nuclear negotiations. Now, both sides are
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: continuing the indirect talks in Doha. At the same time,
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: there's new reporting out indicating that President Trump has been
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: briefed on options that range from continued diplomacy to an
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: all the way out, large scale military campaign against Iran
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: if the negotiations fail. Now, according to multiple early reports,
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: President Trump met with senior national security officials, including Defense
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: Secretary Headseth and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, to
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: review what an all out military operation against Iran would
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: look like if Tehran refuses to dismantle its nuclear program
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: or violates the current understandings between the two countries. But
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: for now, Trump is aside to continue pushing diplomacy while
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: making it clear that military options absolutely remain on the table.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: Here's the President in his own words.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: He was Secretary Excess and General Paine about essentially returning
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: to an all out war with Iran. Does this mean
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: you've been unhappy with Iran's adherence to the MoU.
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: Well, I think they've come a long way. We hit
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: it very hard last week. I think they're fine. I
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: think we're going to it's the d nuclearization of Iran.
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: It's very simple, and Iran cannot have a nuclear.
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: Weapon otherwise all of this stuff that we look at,
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: all of these things that we do, the country has
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: never had activity like you Scott right now.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: The President obviously making it clear that he is considering
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: resuming that all out war with Iran.
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: And that was.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: Before the President boarded the new Air Force one at
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: Joint Andrew's Base, Trump was asked about his reported meeting
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: with Headseth and him confirming it there. The Wall Street
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: Journal also reported that Trump was meeting with Headsetkin to
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: consider all options in Iran, including returning to full scale attacks,
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: in a move described as quote unquote finishing the job now.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: President Trump's remarks come amid Iranian leadership refusal to engage
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: US negotiators directly during the nuclearization talks in Qatar. Special
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: Envoy Steve Wikkoff and Jerry Kushner in Doha, and they're
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: trying to work through the Katari intermediaries. And that's the
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: real story the Trump administration. They're trying to walk a
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: very careful line negotiate from a position of strength, while
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: also making sure i Ran understands the United States is
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: fully prepared to use force if they need to. As
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: Americas celebrates its two hundred and fiftieth anniversary, this milestone
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: is also a time to reflect on the enduring relationship
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: between the US and Israel, our greatest ally, President John F.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: Kennedy once said Israel was not created in order to disappear.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: Israel will endure and flourish. Now those words capture the
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: spirit of a young democracy determined to survive two nations
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: thousands of miles apart, yet united by shared values of democracy, faith, freedom,
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: and resilience. As America celebrates two hundred and fifty years
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: of independence, the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews turns
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: to God in prayer, asking that his wisdom will guide
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: elected officials and lead America and Israel to moral clarity
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: and national unity. So sign up to receive a free

• 3:49
  Speaker 1: these negotiations were being told are also focused on well
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: technical issues, and they could eventually become part of a
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: broader agreement among the issues being discussed as being reported
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: now our restrictions related to Iran's nuclear activities, and then
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: restoring commercial shipping through the straight of war moves, mechanisms
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: as well for trust but verify inspections, and then the
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: implementation of portions of the interim framework that were reached
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: after the recent conflict. Now, President Trump struck an optimistic
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: tone yet again, telling the reporters that the United States
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: and Iran are getting along very well and saying Iran
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: has come a long way. He also suggested progress is
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: being made towards the administration's goal of preventing Iran from
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: obtaining a nuclear weapon while reducing tensions in the region. Now,
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: behind the scenes, officials acknowledge are still major obstacles. Among
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: the biggest sticking point or how Iran's nuclear program is
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: going to be monitored and what limitations Tehran will ultimately accept,
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: how the sanctions relief would work, and disagreements surrounding maritime
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: security and then ship hipping and the tolls that Iran
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: once through the strait of war moves. Now, both these
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: governments are also continuing to interpret parts of the interim
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: agreement differently, and that's creating a lot of uncertainty about
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: how a final deal could be implemented or even reached.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: Now one of the most significant developments as President Trump
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: reportedly is no longer treating the previous August headline is absolute. Instead,
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: if negotiations continue making meaningful progress, Trump appears willing to
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: allow additional time rather than abandoning diplomacy prematurely. Now, that
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: suggests the administration believes that a negotiated agreement is still
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: very much achievable, even while preparing for a possible attack
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: that could collapse those talks altogether. Now, at the same time,
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: nobody should mistake diplomacy for weakness, is what the White
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: House wants the world and ran to understand. Senior administration
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: officials continue emphasizing publicly that every military option in fact
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: remains available if Iran backtracks or attempts to accelerate its
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: nuclear program. The Pentagon has maintained contingency plans, and the
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: White House continues to stress that force can be used
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: if diplomacy fails. So that is where things stand right now.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: Number One, the talks, Yeah, they're continuing. Neither side has
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: walked away. President Trump is publicly expressing optimism and ensuring
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: that the military is prepared if these negotiations break down,
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: and for financial markets in America's allies, this is actually
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: an encouraging combination. You look at Wall Street, investors prefer
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: diplomacy over renewed conflict, while regional partners are continuing to
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: watch closely to see whether these negotiations can actually produce
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: a durable agreement without another round of fighting of war.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: That is why the next twenty four to forty eight
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: hours could actually be extremely critical. If the negotiators, as
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: President Trump is hoping, can narrow the remaining differences, you
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: have real momentum towards a broader agreement, and that could increase.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: But if talks stall out or they're undermined by the
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: radical clerics in Iran, you've got another problem. And that's
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: why the administration has made it very clear diplomacy is
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: not the only option. And then also seems to be
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: part of the calculus now coming out of Iran. The
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: radical clerics, they are already saying that someone needs to
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: kill President Trump, and Benjamin Nett and Yahoo calling for
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: it publicly. They're hoping for a radical lone wolf to
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: do their dirty work for them. These are the same
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: people that chant death to America and death to Israel.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: Now you look at what they're saying, and you look
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: at what the President's saying, and you look at what's
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: happening in Katar. What's really clear now is there's also
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: another civil war happening within Iran. In Iran, they're going
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: to have to figure that out while trying to get
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: a deal done with the President. Yes, there is a
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: lot that can happen over the next few days, but
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: it's truly incredible to see exactly what this deal may
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: look like, and the President giving diplomacy more time to
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: succeed the Supreme Court. They may have settled one legal question,
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: but politically, we're now seeing exactly what the Democrats are
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: ready to do when it comes to allowing men in
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: women's sports. Now, the Supreme Court ruled that states like
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: Idaho and West Virginia can in fact in force laws
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: preventing transgender girls from competing in girls' sports, and Democrats
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: where they immediately began making it clear they've got no
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: intention of backing down. Instead, now they're preparing to make
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: it one of their main defining issues heading into the
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: midterm elections cycle.
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: JD.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: Prince Kerb saying this on CNN about the ruling.
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: Frome Court also today allowed states to ban transgender athletes
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: from joining women's and girls teams. Do you think the
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: court was right on that or do you think they
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: were wrong?
• 9:15
  Speaker 5: Well, look, we believe that people have a right to
• 9:19
  Speaker 5: live the life that they're born to the life that
• 9:22
  Speaker 5: they want to and in Illinois anyway, we protect LGBTQ
• 9:28
  Speaker 5: plus rights, we protect trans kids. Remember in Illinois trans athletes.
• 9:33
  Speaker 5: We literally in high school have three trans athletes. We
• 9:38
  Speaker 5: have one hundred and thirty three thousand athletes in total
• 9:41
  Speaker 5: in our high schools, and three of them are trans.
• 9:44
  Speaker 5: Why is the Republican Party focusing on this issue? Why
• 9:48
  Speaker 5: have they passed laws in I think twenty seven states
• 9:52
  Speaker 5: that have restricted or banned outright trans kids being athletes
• 9:58
  Speaker 5: in schools. It seems to me like, you know, they're
• 10:01
  Speaker 5: just again, they're trying to foment on an issue that frankly,
• 10:06
  Speaker 5: I think we ought to be talking about bigger things.
• 10:08
  Speaker 5: I know, in the state of Illinois we have much
• 10:09
  Speaker 5: bigger challenges as they do all across the country, with
• 10:13
  Speaker 5: things like they've cut snap benefits, they've cut Medicaid, they've
• 10:16
  Speaker 5: made life harder for people, raised prices. These are all
• 10:19
  Speaker 5: things that we're having to deal with in our states,
• 10:22
  Speaker 5: and they're trying to distract with something that has very
• 10:25
  Speaker 5: little impact.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: Now, to be clear, Jadi Prinsker is saying that somehow
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: Republicans are the ones that did this, even though it
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: was Democrats that were allowing boys in women's sports. Then
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: he says it's nothing but a distraction and he wasn't
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: done there. He also again laying the groundwork for what
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: Democrats truly believe in, and that is destroying women in
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: the games that they play and the scholarships that they
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: receive and the awards they receive.
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: But Republicans are using it in political campaigns, political messaging.
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: On the issue itself, do you think the court was right?
• 11:03
  Speaker 5: I think that we ought to be protecting trans kids,
• 11:06
  Speaker 5: So do you think they were think? I can tell
• 11:08
  Speaker 5: you this that those trans kids, you know the I'm
• 11:11
  Speaker 5: sure you've seen the statistics that depression and other mental
• 11:15
  Speaker 5: health challenges are following these kids because of the way
• 11:19
  Speaker 5: they're being treated in some communities. We ought to be
• 11:22
  Speaker 5: sympathizing with the parents. We ought to be trying to
• 11:24
  Speaker 5: help them help their children. And not putting barriers in
• 11:28
  Speaker 5: the way of children just being kids.
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and Justice Kavanaugh was writing that he doesn't think
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: that transgender athletes should be vilified or ostracized. When you
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: look at the numbers, though, there was a Reuter's IPSOS
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: poll that found that sixty seven percent of Americans agree
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: with the transgender athlete ban. Do you find yourself in
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: agreement with those sixty seven percent of Americans?
• 11:50
  Speaker 5: I think that first of all, this is a decision
• 11:53
  Speaker 5: that gets made by a family. That's a decision that's
• 11:56
  Speaker 5: been handled by schools and school districts for a number
• 12:00
  Speaker 5: of years. Now, I think we had to let it
• 12:02
  Speaker 5: happen at the local level as it has been. The
• 12:05
  Speaker 5: three in Illinois have been just fine.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: Isn't it interesting how Democrats use this issue and pushed
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: this issue and demanded this issue, and now they're trying
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: to downplay it while also making it a very clear
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: central point going into the midterms. Now, for Republicans, this
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: decision represents years of well campaigning and fighting and finally
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: it paid off. Donald Trump made protecting women's sports a
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: signature issue because of people like Pritzker. Now, let's be clear,
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: when Donald Trump was running, He said, not only am
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: I going to sign executive actions, not only am I
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: going to pressure athletic organizations, but I'm also going to
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: make the logical argument that biological women deserve a level
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: playing field. More than half the states, and you heard
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: JB talk about this just a second ago, more than
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: half of the country has already passed laws that were
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: then up for grabs with a Supreme Court banning men
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: from competing in women's sports. Now the political battle is
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: now going to move to the campaign trail. Democratic leaders
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: and activist organizations. They're already out there arguing and targeting
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: the very small number, they say, of transgender student athletes, Well,
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: it is discrimination and the treatment of transgender youth is terrible.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: Even though this law and the Supreme Court ruling has
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: nothing to do with how you actually treat a person.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: They're also promising to continue the legal challenges everywhere they can.
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: Support of the ruling is also well, very different. Many
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: conservatives say this is a victory for common sense because
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: you should absolutely protect women's sports. There should be fairness
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: in athletics, and they point to all of the scholarships,
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: what President Trump did well, the roster spots the championships,
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: the athletic record books that are change when a man
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: competes with women and biological differences. It matters in competitive sports,
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: and that's exactly why this made it all the way
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: to the Supreme Court. But to be clear, what democrats
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: are now going to do is they're going to say
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: that you've dehumanized trans athletes. If you want to start
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: a trans league, you can absolutely do it. No one
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: is stopping you. Yes, trans athletes can compete, but women
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: should not be forced to compete with men. Now, I
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: want to take you back to some of the arguments
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: that were made the first case. I was there for
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: those oral arguments dealt with Idaho, and I want you
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: to hear the back and forth of what actually happened
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: and why the court got to the decision they have.
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: Right now, you'll cut this part up.
• 14:50
  Speaker 6: Idah's law classifies on the basis of sex because sex
• 14:54
  Speaker 6: is what matters in sports. It correlates strongly with countless
• 14:57
  Speaker 6: athletic advantages like size, muscle mass, bone mass, and heart
• 15:02
  Speaker 6: and lung capacity tragically but not surprisingly male athletes. So
• 15:06
  Speaker 6: you can injure female athletes in many sports if women
• 15:10
  Speaker 6: don't have their own competitions, they won't be able to compete.
• 15:14
  Speaker 7: And I don't know how you can say sex classification
• 15:17
  Speaker 7: is not being challenged. There's no question here that a
• 15:22
  Speaker 7: male who identifies as a female but it's a male
• 15:25
  Speaker 7: as being excluded from a female sport.
• 15:28
  Speaker 8: Correct.
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: That's correct, all right.
• 15:31
  Speaker 7: By its nature, that's a sex classification, and all sex classifications,
• 15:36
  Speaker 7: we have said repeatedly in our case law require intermediate scrutiny.
• 15:41
  Speaker 8: They are an awful lot of female athletes who are
• 15:46
  Speaker 8: strongly opposed to participation by trans athletes and competitions with them.
• 15:54
  Speaker 8: What do you say about them? Are they bigots? Are
• 15:59
  Speaker 8: they diluted in thinking that they are subjected to unfair competition?
• 16:04
  Speaker 9: No, yawn, I would never call anyone that on the
• 16:07
  Speaker 9: preliminary record in this case, and as the experts below agreed,
• 16:10
  Speaker 9: circulating testosterone after puberty is the main determinant of sex
• 16:15
  Speaker 9: based biological advantage that HB five hundred sought to address,
• 16:19
  Speaker 9: and on this record, Lindsay Keeacox has mitigated that advantage
• 16:22
  Speaker 9: because she has suppressed her testosterone for over a year
• 16:25
  Speaker 9: and taken estrogen. HB five hundred thus fails heightened scrutiny
• 16:29
  Speaker 9: as applied to Lindsay and transgender women like her who
• 16:32
  Speaker 9: have no sex based biological advantage as compared to birth
• 16:35
  Speaker 9: sex females.
• 16:37
  Speaker 4: And so it's going to come to this court and
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: we have to decide for the whole country constitutionalize this.
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: So I guess given that half the states are allowing it,
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: allowing transgender girls and women to participate in about half
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: or not, why would we at this point just the
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: role of this court jump in and try to constantutionalize
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: the rule for the whole country while they're still, as
• 17:03
  Speaker 4: you say, uncertainty in the beat.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: So here's what we know from all of that back
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: and forth. The Supreme Court justices came out and they
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: said we must protect women's sports from men. Now, this
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: is going to become a defining issue for the midterm elections.
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: Elections are typically shaped by multiple factors, including the economy, immigration, inflation,
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: and international events. But both parties here clearly see the
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: transgender policy is an issue that energizes important parts of
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: their base their coalitions. And one thing is actually certain
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: now the Supreme Court issued its ruling, but the political debate,
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: at least from the side of radical Democrats, is only intensifying.
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: There are two stories.
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: Right now that are colliding, and I'm going to combine
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: them together for you so you understand where Democrats are
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: and now that many of the Democrats are just socialists,
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: communists and Marxists, where they are now compared to where
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: they were not that long ago, and you have to
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: ask yourself the reason why did they change so much
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: on immigration? Now there's a story here in Washington, and
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: I'm going to start with that. Ohio Senator Marino is
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: going to reintroduce a bill that former Senator Harry Reid wrote. Now,
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: not part of the bill, not some of the language,
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: the exact bill, and the exact bill that was put
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: in years ago by Senator Harry Reid was calling for
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: eliminating birthright citizenship for illegal aliens. Now, Marino shared that
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: not only would he introduce to the bill by Harry Reid,
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: the Democrat, the exact bill that would eliminate birthright citizenship
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: for children of legal immigrants, but also clarify who can
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: receive birthright citizenship and a post on X, the senator
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: responded to another posts from Fox's Bill Malusion, who shared
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: that in nineteen ninety three, Harry Reid had introduced the
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: Immigration Stabilization Act of nineteen ninety three. Marino stated that
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: they would see how today's DC Democrats will vote when
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: offered the ideas of the Democratic Party that they used
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: to love and the US was actually first, not last,
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: saying quote, I will reintroduce the exact bill when I
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: return to d C. Let's see how today's DC Democrats
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: will vote when offered the ideas of Democrat, the party
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: that used to love this country and the American people.
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: He also shared a press release that reads reintroduced bill,
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: titled the Immigration Stabilization Act of twenty twenty six, would
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: focus on making cuts to legal immigration limits, capping annual
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: refugee admissions, and clarifying to whom birthright citizenship actually applies.
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: The bill would also seek to make changes to legal
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: immigration limits by cutting quote overall legal immigration by restructuring
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: family based visas and setting employment based immigration visas to zero,
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: along with shifting family preferences towards parents of adult US
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: citizens now. The reintroduced bill would also seek to make
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: changes to refugee admissions by capping annual refugee admissions at
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: fifty thousand per year, along with requiring the President to
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: allocate the limited spots to those with the greatest humanitarian
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: needs regarding citizenship and voting. The bill would clarify the
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: birthright citizenship does not apply to children born in the
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: US to mothers who are neither US citizens nor a
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: lawful permanent residents who remain subject to a foreign country's jurisdiction.
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: The bill would also make it quote a federal crime
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: for non citizens to vote in any federal, state, or
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: local elections and nullify those votes now.
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: The bill would also.
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: Seek to improve borders security by increasing border patrol agents
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: by thousands and imposing user fees on border crossings to
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: fund that enforcement. A dedicated Border Patrol Control Trust Fund
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: would also be created in order to pay for additional
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: border patrol agents as well as technology and then barriers
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: that we need across the southern and northern borders.
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: The Center's announcement comes after the Supreme Courts five to
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: four decision against President Donald Trump's reform of birthright citizenship.
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: We also now know that the Court ruled six to
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: three against Trump's policy, but Brett Kavanaugh pointed out that
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: Trump and other politicians can change the rule via legislation. Yes,
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: the decision was six to three against Trump. The Kavanaugh
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: argued that Trump and other politicians can change the rule
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: via the laws, saying this citizenship then and now. Chief
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: Justice Roberts wrote for the majority was the right to
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: have rights to freely participate in our political commmunity. The
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: framers of the fourteenth Amendment extended that promise to every
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: freeborn person in the land. We keep that promise today. Now,
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: before far left radicals took over the Democratic Party, just
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: think about this. Their actual leader, Harry Reid, introduced a
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: great bill to end birthright citizenship and ensure no illegals
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: could vote, and crack down on employers who abused illegal labor.
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: And now the Republican Party is taking their exact words
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: and saying, let's vote on it now.
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: I said.
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: This story also ties to another one, that is, again
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: what happens when you get socialists and communists and Marxists
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: that are in charge of your country. There's a new
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: report that has just come out of Spain. Spanish police
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: now estimate that upwards of four hundred thousand illegal migrants
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: have filed for mass amnesty applications despite not having lived
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: in Spain last year. More Onred thousand people that are
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: not in Spain who are now demanding asylum in a
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: country they've never been to. Now, this is one of
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: the lax requirements that have been imposed by the nation's
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: socialist government for amnesty.
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: You don't have to be in the country.
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: You can just request it and then if you get it, bam,
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: come on into Spain now. Tuesday, June thirtieth mark the
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: last day for illegal migrants in Spain to file applications
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: for a mass amnesty plan launched this year by the
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: administration of the Socialist Prime Minister. Prospective beneficiaries of the
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: amnesty had to only comply with a notoriously laxed list
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: of requirements, such as living in Spain before December the
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: thirty first, meaning you just got to get there before
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: the end of the year and demonstrate that they have
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: quote no criminal record and do not pose a threat
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: to public order, public safety or public health.
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: You just mark the box.
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: The Spanish government affirmed earlier this year that it expects
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: half a million illegal migrants to receive the amnesty benefits.
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: Almost one point three million requests were filed as of
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: last week. This is truly insane. Now, unnamed sources also
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: told the local news outlets there that about four hundred
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: thousand of the one point three million applicants are believed
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: to have been filed by illegal migrants who slipped through
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: the cracks, and we're not living in Spain at all,
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: or on or before the antesty cutoff date. In other words,
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: they're just lying. The assertions believed to have led to
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: staggering amount of one point three million applicants that were filed,
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: according to the sources, and it's also reportedly believed that
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: a total of about eight hundred and fifty thousand illegal
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: migrants lived in Spain before the start of twenty twenty six.
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: So what does that mean.
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: We'll given the final number of applicants, which has not
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: yet beneficially confirmed, it will exceed more than one point
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: three million, and around four hundred thousand of those people
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: have taken advantage of the process launched by the Socialists government,
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: which also, by the way, points to massive widespread fraud.
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: The newspaper pointed out that as part of the guidelines
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: established by the Spanish government, it is now up to
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: the inclusion so Security and Migration Ministry and immigration officers
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: to verify the authenticity of the document submitted for each
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: amnesty application. Now police specialists in migration and border control
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: officials will not be involved in the verification process. Why
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: would you not have the migration border control officials involved
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: because you want the fraud to happen, and that is
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: exactly what has now been announced in Spain. So here
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: you are, you have two worlds colliding. You can either
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: have a border, have a country of laws, or do
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: exactly what they're doing in Spain, which is allowed for
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: lawlessness and a total invasion of illegal immigrants. Now Democrats
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: want this because they're trying to totally re make their country.
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: And when you get as socialist in charge, this is
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: exactly what you get. Make sure you share this podcast
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: with your family and friends, put it up on social
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: media wherever you are, and we appreciate you listening every day.

  Speaker 3: We'll see you back here tomorrow.
