With respect to you. He's a citizen of El Salvador. So it's very arrogant even for American media to suggest that we would even tell El Salvador how to handle their own citizens as a starting point. As two immigration courts found that he was a member of MS-13, when President Trump declared MS-13 to be a foreign terrorist organization,

That meant that he was no longer eligible under federal law, which I'm sure you know, you're very familiar with the INA, that he was no longer eligible for any form of immigration relief in the United States.

So we had a deportation order that was valid, which meant that under our law, he's not even allowed to be present in the United States and had to be returned because of the foreign terrorist designation. This issue was then, by a district court judge,

completely inverted, and a district court judge tried to tell the administration that they had to kidnap a citizen of El Salvador and fly him back here. That issue was raised to the Supreme Court, and the Supreme Court said the district court order was unlawful and its main components were reversed 9-0 unanimously, stating clearly

that neither Secretary of State nor the President could be compelled by anybody to forcibly retrieve a citizen of El Salvador from El Salvador, who again is a member of MS-13, which as I'm sure you understand, rapes little girls, murders women, murders children, is engaged in the most barbaric activities in the world, and I can promise you if he was your neighbor, you would move right away.

As Pam said, the ruling solely stated that if this individual, at El Salvador's sole discretion, was sent back to our country, that we could deport him a second time. No version of this legally ends up with him ever living here, because he is a citizen of El Salvador. That is the president of El Salvador.

Trump Transition Support & Dismantling Federal DEI | 11.26.24
Yeah, there are about 1.4 million migrants in the U.S. today that have received formal deportation orders, which means they've been ordered by a court to leave the country. Stephen Camerota, the director of research for the Center of Immigration Studies, talked to Fox News recently, and he said that this backlog means that the Biden administration has been very unserious about border issues.
Morning Wire
Trump Transition Support & Dismantling Federal DEI | 11.26.24
The Biden approach has been to greatly expand legal pathways for entries, such as parole. But then when immigrants' temporary access is up, they're protected and provided for through a network of local and state governments and NGOs. Sanctuary city laws are a good example of this.
Morning Wire
Trump Transition Support & Dismantling Federal DEI | 11.26.24
According to Camerata, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE, should still have a good idea of where these aliens with deportation orders are. After all, they have to provide a legitimate address and contact information if they want to get work permits, driver's licenses, most documents one needs in order to live and work in the U.S.
Morning Wire

The fact that so many aliens have yet to be deported indicates a lack of willingness to deport on behalf of the federal government.
Morning Wire

Well, take New York City, for example. It has laws that guarantee a so-called right to shelter. Practically, that means taxpayers are on the hook to provide shelter for the city's homeless, which recently has included tens of thousands of immigrants.
Morning Wire
Trump Transition Support & Dismantling Federal DEI | 11.26.24
The city has rented out thousands of hotel rooms, taken over schools, gymnasiums, places of worship, sports fields, anywhere it can find space to shelter immigrants. It's also paid for one-way tickets for any immigrant in the city to relocate elsewhere. As long as they promise not to come back. That program, which the city calls reticketing, has been the subject of some controversy.
Morning Wire
Trump Transition Support & Dismantling Federal DEI | 11.26.24
It's believed to be the program that Jose Ibarra used to get to Georgia. He is the illegal immigrant with alleged ties to Trende Aragua who was convicted of murdering Georgia nursing student Lakin Riley. That means New York taxpayers paid for Ibarra to fly to Atlanta where he murdered Lakin instead of paying for a ticket out of the country. New York City has done this with many others.
Morning Wire
Trump Transition Support & Dismantling Federal DEI | 11.26.24
Mayor Eric Adams last week said that the reticketing program has relocated some 43,000 immigrants out of New York. But there are still huge numbers of criminal illegal aliens in the city. According to New York City's ICE director, it would take decades to remove them from the city at the current rate.
Morning Wire
Trump Transition Support & Dismantling Federal DEI | 11.26.24
Well, according to Camerata, with serious effort, Trump's administration could probably deport somewhere between a third and one half of those 1.4 million. That's not a failure on Trump's part. That's just the reality of where the U.S. immigration system is right now. A problem that's been decades in the making won't likely be solved in just a few years.

But Trump will be facing a less than ideal scenario when he takes office. The Democratic Party has taken up the mantle of illegal aliens, and elected officials are already lining up to resist Trump's mass deportation plan. This was after Mayor Mike Johnston said he would use Denver police to keep ICE agents out of the city.

The president of the United States and his administration reserve all rights under the Constitution to conduct national security operations in defense of the United States. The Alien Enemies Act, which was passed into law by the founding generation of this country, men like John Adams, was written explicitly to give the president the authority to repel an alien invasion of the United States.
The Charlie Kirk Show

That is not something that a district court judge has any authority whatsoever to interfere with, to enjoin, to restrict, or to restrain any way. You can read the law yourself. There's now one clause in that law that makes it subject to judicial review, let alone district court review.

Read the statute, Alien Enemies Act, 1798. It says if a predatory incursion is perpetrated by a foreign government. So it lists three qualifying actions. It could be an act of war.

Stephen Miller's Masterclass + Innovation Over Stagnation
That's what it says. Wrong. Look up the statute. It's on my account on social media. That's actually where we found it. Yes. It says, or a predatory incursion or an invasion. The statute delineates three criteria for triggering the Alien Enemies Act. One is an act of war, which, by the way, an invasion is an act of war, but put that aside. One is an invasion, which this is.

One is a predatory incursion, which this is. So it actually meets all three statutory criteria.

The Global Supply Chain and You
Great to be with you, Charlie. And one of the reasons I wanted to come on your show is that before we get into all the good stuff in the tax bill, I want to alert you and your listeners to something I'm hearing that I think is very dangerous.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Global Supply Chain and You
So we need to get all conservatives to shout out against this, which is that there are some in Congress, some Republicans who want to raise the top income tax rate. That would be a total disaster for those of us who are old enough to remember when George H.W. Bush raised taxes. And remember, read my lips. It split the party. It did great damage to the economy.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Global Supply Chain and You
And it led to the election of Bill Clinton. So Republicans would be making a major mistake if they raised the top rate. In fact, every time in history, by the way, my buddy Art Laffer has a Great book out on this called Taxes Have Consequences.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Global Supply Chain and You
Every time we've raised tax rates, the economy has gone into recession, the rich have actually paid less taxes, and the burden has shifted to lower income people. This is not a way to help America. And I just wanted to get that out there. So I want your listeners to call your congressman or senator and say, do not raise tax rates on anyone. That's not what we do as Republicans.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Global Supply Chain and You
Yeah. That's a great question. And by the way, Elon Musk has a better answer to that than I am. You know, you may have seen him a month or two. He was asked that same question, Charlie. He said, look, who do you trust to invest in the American economy better? Someone like me who is great at me that he was talking about himself.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Global Supply Chain and You
who's created tens and tens of thousands of jobs and some of the greatest businesses ever, were politicians. So the people who are the job creators and the wealth producers in our economy are people at the top. They've gotten to the top because they're smart. By the way, over half of all small businesses pay their taxes on the individual income tax rate.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Global Supply Chain and You
Do we want to be taxing the small businessmen and women in the country? So it doesn't work. And the other thing about the rich, and this is also in Laffer's book, is that they're smart. They have tax lawyers. They have tax accountants. They're not going to pay these entire rates. They're going to find ways around it. And what happens is the tax burden really gets smashed onto the poor.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Global Supply Chain and You
So we don't want to do it. Reagan cut tax rates to the lowest rates we'd had in 75 years. We had the biggest boom ever. Trump cut tax rates. We had a big boom. Every time it works. Any student of history knows that lowering tax rates is a great thing. And the last two presidents who were Republicans who raised tax rates, Herbert Hoover and And George H.W.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Global Supply Chain and You
Oh, no. I mean, you raise a great point, Charlie. I should have said this at the outset. How do high income tax rates affect the rich? Just look across the states. How many times have you and I talked about this? Just a new report came out last week showing, again, that California, Illinois, New York and New Jersey are losing population at the fastest rate of any state in the country.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Global Supply Chain and You
Those tend to be the highest. You know, California and New York have 13 percent income taxes. Now, you know that. Charlie, where do you live, by the way? Are you in Florida?
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Global Supply Chain and You
That was the point I was going to make. Yeah, that was the point I was going to make is that you have states like Tennessee, Texas, Florida that have no income tax and they're booming. Arizona's got a pretty good low income tax rate. That's working for them. So this is a very positive thing for the low tax states.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Global Supply Chain and You
And, you know, California could lose three new congressional seats if they stay on the course they're on.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Global Supply Chain and You
Well, I'm glad you asked about that. Literally, just this morning, I finished writing my weekly column on that very issue. So you must be clairvoyant. But, you know, look, I'm not going to get into the weeds on this. This is the private equity industry, which is what pumps money into small businesses, family businesses to keep them alive or to allow them to grow into bigger businesses.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Global Supply Chain and You
We are almost unique as a country in having this incredible private equity industry that injects capital into smaller and medium-sized companies so they can grow. And it works. It's an amazing thing. It's created like 20 million jobs worldwide. through this private investment capital. And we don't want to tax that more. Look, it's very simple. If you tax something, you get less of it, right?
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Global Supply Chain and You
That's what Reagan taught us. Why would we want less equity going into small and growing businesses? It doesn't make any sense.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Global Supply Chain and You
Okay, so basically we have two tax rates. We have capital gains tax, which is too high. We tax that at 24%. And then the personal income tax, which is taxed right now at 37%. So what these people want to do, and this is basically people like Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren and some Republicans. They said, well, we should tax...
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Global Supply Chain and You
These people at the personal income tax rate, not the capital gains rate, which is, to me, I don't even get the logic of that. When a private equity person puts money into a company, that's at-risk capital. They're at risk of losing it all. That's why we have a lower capital gains rate, because it's a riskier investment.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Global Supply Chain and You
So First of all, that's a really important question because I think a lot – we did a poll that half of Americans are not aware of this because a lot of Americans just don't pay a lot of close attention to this.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Global Supply Chain and You
If they don't get this job done, Charlie, we're talking about the biggest tax increase in American history on January 1st because all of the Trump tax cuts would go away, virtually all of them. And so the average family in America – I'm not talking about Warren Buffett and Bill Gates and Elon Musk. I'm talking about the average family would face a $3,000 increase in their taxes next year.

And I think the answer is exactly what you said, and it's very straightforward. California was once the most conservative free state in the country.

earn a good living, you went to California. That's what you did. This was the state that not only elected Reagan governor, but also voted in the presidential elections for conservatives, for national office, for almost the entirety of the 20th century. up until 1992.

And the reason for that is because mass migration turns politics leftward. And there's a lot of reasons why. I mean, one is that people who come from countries that have no history of limited government and no experience of limited government don't find that to be intuitive. So that's one reason.
The Megyn Kelly Show

Just the actual voters themselves, they would say, well, why wouldn't I vote for higher taxes on someone who's not me to give services to somebody who is me? That's intuitive.

It's not intuitive what we have or have had in America to say, if more people who aren't you also have freedom, then they will also be productive, and they will also create more jobs, and then those jobs will pay higher wages.

When you have good, high-paying, middle-class jobs, that forms the center of a conservative society, a strong family and a strong community where people are able to get a job that can pay a living wage, that can support a family, where you can have, if you want to, a one-parent working home, if you want to, a two-parent working home, but either way, you're financially secure.

and you have a good education system and a good healthcare system. When you completely destabilize the labor market and the social safety net, people then begin demanding more and more and more government services because the jobs aren't paying enough. So you need more earned income tax credit and you need to have more food stamps.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Get To Know The Incoming Trump Cabinet: Tulsi Gabbard, Marco Rubio, Kristi Noem, and More
You need to have more public housing and the education system can't keep up. So you gotta keep funneling more and more money into that. And nobody has health insurance.

The Megyn Kelly Show
Get To Know The Incoming Trump Cabinet: Tulsi Gabbard, Marco Rubio, Kristi Noem, and More
The vast majority of people in this country who do not have health insurance are not citizens of this country. There are many American citizens that have health insurance, to be clear, and they should get it, and we should make sure they do have it. But the vast majority of people who do not have insurance of any kind, in any way, any shape, or form whatsoever... are not US citizens.

illegal immigration is wrong if you come into the country illegally you have no path to release you will be detained you would you will be deported you will be going home and you if possible will be sent to jail and if you try again you'll be sent to jail for more than a year one thing that we did in the trump administration is we aggressively prosecuted so we didn't just deport people but we aggressively prosecuted immigration crime not just immigration fraud
The Megyn Kelly Show

But 1325, USC 1325, which is the misdemeanor illegal entry, and then 1326, which is the felony illegal entry. And we aggressively prosecuted illegal border crossing to send the message that what you're doing is criminal. This is criminal.

And if American citizens go to jail for the minors violation, you know, you get one little thing wrong in your tax forms or you make one little mistake interacting with a regulatory agency.

The Megyn Kelly Show
Get To Know The Incoming Trump Cabinet: Tulsi Gabbard, Marco Rubio, Kristi Noem, and More
The thing about immigration reporting in this country is that so few people who do immigration stories actually understand immigration law that they fall for literally any spin the administration pushes to them. So I've been seeing for two years, they always announced, oh, there's a new crackdown in the middle of the Haiti migrant camps.
The Megyn Kelly Show

They were saying the administration has some tough new crackdown plan. They push out this fake story every few months when the PR gets bad and I hope everybody moves on to the next thing. If you really want to break it down, The regulation in question says that you have a rebuttable keyword, rebuttable presumption of ineligibility if you didn't apply in a previous country.

The word rebuttable meaning that you can overcome it by asking, again, do you see an immigration judge? So in immigration law, Megan, There's all kinds of things that could sound tough on paper that dissolve upon contact with reality because of how enforcement actually works.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Get To Know The Incoming Trump Cabinet: Tulsi Gabbard, Marco Rubio, Kristi Noem, and More
If you allow an alien to seek a lengthy process when they enter this country, then there is no way for border patrol to remove that person. If an alien shows up from Peru and tells a story and says, I couldn't apply in Mexico because the cartels threatened me. So I need to see a caseworker, and then I need to see an immigration judge.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Get To Know The Incoming Trump Cabinet: Tulsi Gabbard, Marco Rubio, Kristi Noem, and More
Megan, that person is not going anywhere but to the city of their choice, St. Louis, Omaha, Nebraska, New York City. After two years of this, you think immigration reporters will stop falling for the same crap? The illegal aliens who want to get in will get in. It's happening right now. It's happening every day.

They show up at the border in the morning and they're on to the next city in the evening. You see them on TV going on to the destination of their choice. Then they text their friends and their family with their new phones and say, hey, I just got in.

The other point, though, about this is that in reality, the way it works on the ground is that when you have more aliens in your facility than there are caseworkers to interview them, the difference between those two populations gets released.

So his only options are to be deported to his home country or another country. That's it. By the way, he doesn't get to stay here. He doesn't get to live here. He has no future here.

Trump Has Disastrous Public Event Defying SCOTUS
What was the ruling in the Supreme Court, Steve? Was it nine to nothing? Yes, it was a nine to zero. In our favor. In our favor against the district court ruling saying that no district court has the power to compel the foreign policy function of the United States. As Pam said, the ruling solely stated that if this individual at El Salvador's sole discretion...

was sent back to our country, that we could deport him a second time. No version of this legally ends up with him ever living here because he is a citizen of El Salvador. That is the president of El Salvador.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
Trump Has Disastrous Public Event Defying SCOTUS
Yes, gladly. So as Pam mentioned, there's an illegal alien from El Salvador. So with respect to you, He's a citizen of El Salvador, so it's very arrogant even for American media to suggest that we would even tell El Salvador how to handle their own citizens as a starting point.

The MeidasTouch Podcast
Trump has Awful Landing to DC as He Loses It
Clearly, 9-0, a district court judge said unconscionably that the president and his administration have to go into El Salvador and extradite one of their citizens, an El Salvadorian citizen, so that would be kidnapping, that we have to kidnap an El Salvadorian citizen against the will of his government and fly him back to America, which would be an unimaginable act and invasion of El Salvador's sovereignty.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
Trump has Awful Landing to DC as He Loses It
So he appealed to the Supreme Court and it said clearly no district court can compel the president to exercise his Article 2 foreign powers in any way whatsoever. DOJ called me after that Supreme Court ruling and they said, this is amazing. We won this case 9-0. We are in excellent standing here. So this has been portrayed wrong for 72 hours.

Mr. President, thank you for your time. It's interesting that you brought up Harvard, because when people think about Harvard, what they're basically talking about is they're asking, what do you say to those who view your actions as an attack on academic freedom rather than a defense of fairness? What do you say to that?
