Transcript
00:00Okay, what do you think will happen in the Senate?
00:29Is it passed the House? How do you hope this way?
00:59Or is the purpose of the federal district judges to be able to determine the actions of the executive as that particular justice did?
01:21Well, actually, it's so worth it.
01:27But I would say, sir, and that's a problem with Congress, which I do agree with. Congress does not do that job.
01:35And so the department, because you need leadership, the leadership in both chambers has to agree to do it, sir.
01:40Members of the individual members of Congress can't get bills automatically to the floor unless you want discharge positioners to make team members.
01:47So it requires leadership to move them through the legislative process.
01:50I don't want to get farther than I would say if I was going to talk to the issue.
01:53The federal district court system is supposed to address the constitutionality of actions of the executive and or laws passed by Congress.
02:02And the laws passed by Congress have to be within the construct of Article I, Section 8, which are the defined powers of Congress in the United States Constitution.
02:09During the Biden administration, when, yes, Joe Biden, I don't know why you're right, as I said, can we really want to compare, compare, and not compare.
02:19Listen, I know, I know, listen, I know some people feel wrongly about President Biden, so I'll go back further.
02:27Back in 2014, when President Obama was President of the United States, when he was President of the United States,
02:33there was a ruling in the Supreme Court that gave the president plenary power when it came to immigration policy and naturalization and deportation authority.
02:45That was a 2014 Supreme Court ruling that gave, at that time, President Obama full authority.
02:52President Biden, what I think wrongly, used that authority to allow tens of millions of illegal aliens into the United States.
02:59The question now, in front of these district courts is, does Donald Trump have the same authority given to Barack Obama, used by Joe Biden,
03:07to now deport illegal aliens out of the United States?
03:10And if you're going to have a federal district judge, now come step in and say, no, you didn't.
03:18On second thought, on second thought, President Trump, you don't have the same deportation authority that President Biden and President Obama had.
03:25Now you have a federal district judge that is trying to put his own interpretation into law,
03:31as opposed to following the constitutionality of executive power.
03:36So, if the federal district court system does not want to actually follow the constitutionality of executive power,
03:44which the Supreme Court already spoke to in 2014,
03:48then you have to have changes to the federal district court law,
03:52which is just your question.
03:53Let's talk about people.
03:59Let's talk about people.
04:01Let's talk about people.
04:03Let's talk about people.
04:05Let's talk about people.
04:08Do you want to yell or do you want me to talk about people?
04:15Does an illegal alien in the United States have more people can say something in the United States?
04:20Does an illegal alien in the United States does not have more people can say something in the United States?
04:28Sir, you're looking to hear what you can't because everybody around you is yelling so you can't hear it.
04:32But an illegal alien in the United States does not have more due process rights than American citizens.
04:38No, they don't have the same order because we're not a United States citizen.
04:44That's the fact.
04:46Number two, and more important,
04:50Number two and more important,
04:56Number two and more important,
04:58President Biden abused the asylum procedures of the United States government
05:03and allowed tens of millions of illegal immigrants into the United States.
05:08We do not have enough trial judges to adjudicate all of their asylum.
05:14No, no, no, no.
05:15That's the violence for bloody immigrants.
05:18That's the violence for bloody immigrants.
05:21If you're going to act it,
05:23now you're going to settle the American people
05:27with having to go through immigration years
05:31on tens of millions of people
05:33because Joe Biden was barely in history of a woman in the world,
05:37I say no.
05:39And the most important,
05:41and the most important,
05:43are the people of the United States.
05:45Because the people of the United States,
05:47overwhelmingly have said,
05:49over 60% in poll after poll after poll after poll after poll,
05:53have said that they support deportation proceedings
05:56of illegal immigrants in the United States.
05:59Thank you so much.
06:01What I will tell you is,
06:03what I will tell you is,
06:05go talk to the poor ladies in Chicago, Illinois,
06:09whenever rec centers have been overrun by illegal immigrants.
06:13Go talk to the mothers in New York City
06:15who had their playgrounds taken away from their children
06:18because of illegal immigration.
06:20Go talk to the people who were poor veterans,
06:23poor on the streets of America,
06:24while illegals are getting credit cards
06:26to stay in five-star hotels.
06:28And if you forget that,
06:30if that is an integral distribution
06:32between illegal immigrants and United States citizens,
06:35then this is where you and I disagree.
06:39I agree.
