Transcript

00:00This morning the Supreme Court has delivered a monumental victory for the

00:04Constitution, the separation of powers, and the rule of law. This decision, and

00:10thanks to this decision, we can now promptly file to proceed with numerous

00:15policies that have been wrongly enjoined on a nationwide basis. And some of the

00:21cases we're talking about would be ending birthright citizenship, which now

00:26comes to the fore. That was meant for the babies of slaves. It wasn't meant for

00:31people trying to scam the system and come into the country on a vacation.

00:35Do you believe this ends the power of the lower court judges to stop your agenda?

00:39Do you see this as a full green light for your agenda going forward?

00:42Well, you'd have to really speak to the lawyers about that, but this is really also a

00:47decision based on common sense.
