So it's been one week since the Supreme Court voted to uphold birthright citizenship and Republicans are frustrated, understandably so. Justice Alito said, "This is one of the most important decisions in the history of the court, and in my judgment, the court has made a serious mistake." Justice Thomas echoed that, saying, "I'm not sure that today's opinion will stand the test of time." It didn't take long for Justice Katanji Brown Jackson to read Thomas' dissent, then accuse him of racism. Of course, the ultimate irony is that for all the talk about the detestable Dred Scott decision, the government and Thomas propose a return to its core tenant. It wasn't just Jackson, the entire Democrat-based dogpiled on Justice Thomas, calling him a DEI hire. When he was appointed to the Supreme Court, there's no way in hell he should have got that job. He's literally a DEI hire, and now a man like that who knows that, who feels, you know, who feels mediocre, who feels small, is going to exact that against everybody, and that's just kind of what's happening now. There's nothing you're going to ask him to do that would hurt black or brown people or women he wouldn't do. How do you think he looks in the mirror or sleeps at night? Probably very well, I guess, I guess. I think Clarence Thomas, if he looks in the mirror and gets up in the middle of the night and sees a black man in the mirror, he'll call him a police. Disgusting. Democrats are pressed over the Supreme Court allowing states to ban men from women's sports, and Republicans are frustrated over the court upholding birthright citizenship. Both parties lost, and both parties won last week. And now, both parties want to change in the Supreme Court. Republicans have a plan. When one justice resigns, they replace that justice with a new one. He's done a wonderful job as a senator, I highly respect it. In fact, somebody said, would you ever appoint him to the United States Supreme Court? Because he's a brilliant lawyer. No, if I was having a hard time with getting the votes, I would appoint Ted Cruz. I get 100% guarantee. Democrats, they want to pack the court. They want to trash the whole system. We talk about the idea of Supreme Court reform, which includes expanding the Supreme Court. I do believe if you combine term limits on the court and the expansion of the court, where every president gets two appointees, you would depoliticize this. The Republicans stole two Supreme Court seats in 2016 and 2020. That's what's giving them their supermajority. The only way to solve this problem in a very short period of time is expand the Supreme Court. Neither party is satisfied with last week's decisions, but it's a reminder the Supreme Court was never created to serve a political party. It's meant to uphold the Constitution, and that's exactly what it's doing.

- Look, I can tell you right now, the Border Patrol morale is going through the roof. We've had the handcuffs taken off. We're allowed to actually do our job, which is go out and enforce the law. Under this administration, they have literally taken the handcuffs off and allowed us to enforce law instead of policies that were created to contradict the law. And so our morale has continued to rise. I met you out in the field today. I was over on Rio Grande yesterday, outstanding morale in El Paso today, visiting with troops out here and the agents, and the morale is just through the roof. - And how's recruiting? - Recruiting's looking great. We're seeing some of our highest numbers ever. Really excited about that because as you know, during the previous four years under the Biden administration, we saw a mass exodus from the Border Patrol and we saw some of our lowest recruiting numbers. We're seeing the opposite. We're seeing agents pull retirement paperwork in order to continue staying in and serve, and we're seeing our recruiting numbers go through the roof. And so, and from the clip you showed earlier, Dana, that I wanna really, really drive it home. That very area that you were talking about in Eagle Pass was seeing an average of three to 4,000 a day. Right now, Eagle Pass, Texas, is seeing an average of 18 apprehensions a day and very few getaways, little to none. Some days, zero gotaways. You can't paint a better picture on the level of security we have on this border. It's making our border safer. It's making our community safer. One of the pictures you showed is a park, in Eagle Pass, Texas, called Shelby Park. That park's been returned to the citizens of Eagle Pass. They can now go out there and golf. They can enjoy their park. That's been returned to the rightful owners of that park because we've been able to make it safe and secure by reducing the total number of aliens riding around.
