Speaker 1: Tuy around. This is the seventy seven WABC mini cast.
Speaker 2: President Trump signing two big executive orders tied to birthright
Speaker 2: citizenship just a little bit ago, and also what's next
Speaker 2: for doctor Fauci. Well on all of this, let's go
Speaker 2: to Greg Jarrett, great Fox News legal analyst and big
Speaker 2: best selling author. Greg, did you see this with the
Speaker 2: birthright tourism saying, you know, really putting the sort of
Speaker 2: screws and narrow casting so people can't just come here
Speaker 2: and have a baby and take advantage of US.
Speaker 1: Right And you could see this coming. Unlike Trump's original
Speaker 1: order when he took office, today's executive orders, and there
Speaker 1: are two of them, are fairly limited in scope. The
Speaker 1: first one ban's birth tourism and it's based on an
Speaker 1: existing federal regulation twenty twenty that prohibits tourism and business
Speaker 1: visas for the purpose of obtaining US citizenship for a newborn.
Speaker 1: Anybody who does that can now be criminally prosecuted for fraud.
Speaker 1: And you know that's a huge number. You're talking about,
Speaker 1: twenty to twenty five thousand birth tourists each year. And
Speaker 1: I think that order does fall squarely within the executive
Speaker 1: branch authority over immigration and visas. However, the second order
Speaker 1: is more difficult because it denies citizenship to those newborns.
Speaker 1: It would contradict the recent Supreme Court decision, which you
Speaker 1: and I have discussed. So you know that particular order
Speaker 1: will almost certainly be challenged right away in federal court.
Speaker 1: Trump knows that, but he wants the Supreme Court to
Speaker 1: revisit the issue on a narrower basis because the justices
Speaker 1: you'll recall, did, in fact, seem deeply concerned about the
Speaker 1: birth tourism problem. And Trump is right, it's smacks of fraud.
Speaker 1: These birth tourists are scamming the fourteenth Amendment. They don't
Speaker 1: hold any allegiance to the sovereign of the US. They
Speaker 1: just want their kids to have citizenships. So we'll see
Speaker 1: where this goes.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you don't want to have a country that,
Speaker 2: you know, quote is an enemy of America. I mean
Speaker 2: you want to have you know, maybe Iranian IRGC kids
Speaker 2: coming over. I mean, I'm sorry that this is exactly
Speaker 2: what you don't want think about. During Afghanistan, some people
Speaker 2: tied to the Taliban got over on the planes. What
Speaker 2: if they're pregnant, they have an American child, then they
Speaker 2: have access to our country and our resources.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and one of the justices during oral argument raised
Speaker 1: the alarm bells on exactly what you're talking about birth
Speaker 1: tourism from enemy states. You know that jeopardizes America's national security.
Speaker 1: And so you know Trump is responding very directly to
Speaker 1: that concern with these two executive orders.
Speaker 2: And you know, other big deal is on Fauci today.
Speaker 2: This is wild that ran Paul. They had the vote
Speaker 2: in the committee, it was party line, but it passed
Speaker 2: because of the Republican majority. Right. Fauci who took invoked
Speaker 2: the fifth one hundred and eleven times, and now they're
Speaker 2: sending it over to DOJ. He says, you know what,
Speaker 2: I don't think He came right out and said, I
Speaker 2: don't think we have the votes in a full Senate
Speaker 2: to get the sixty votes because of the makeup. But
Speaker 2: I'm going to send it over to the DOJ and
Speaker 2: see what they will do. Maybe they might prosecute him.
Speaker 2: What do you think legally it's an interesting case.
Speaker 1: Yeah, if charges are brought, Fauci's lawyers will argue in
Speaker 1: federal court that his preemptive pardon, which was you know,
Speaker 1: signed by Biden's auto pen did not protect him last
Speaker 1: week when he was supposed to testify, since the pardon
Speaker 1: actually expired the day was signed January twenty, twenty twenty five,
Speaker 1: and therefore Fauci had a constitutional right to invoke the
Speaker 1: Fifth Amendment. And look, I'm no fan of Fauci. I
Speaker 1: agree with Senator Paul. I think he's long been lying
Speaker 1: to Congress about his funding of the Wuhan lab where
Speaker 1: the deadly virus I think escaped. But having said all
Speaker 1: of that, you know, his Fifth Amendment legal argument is
Speaker 1: valid in my judgment, because at that moment last week,
Speaker 1: he was in legal jeopardy in two ways. If he lied,
Speaker 1: he could face federal charges for perjury and false statements.
Speaker 1: And second, his pardon doesn't protect him from any future
Speaker 1: state charges arising from that testimony last week. Already there
Speaker 1: are four states who have launched active investigations into that
Speaker 1: could result in charges. And look, even Ran Paul admits
Speaker 1: that the issue will end up being decided in the courts.
Speaker 1: You know, he argued last week that the pardon ment
Speaker 1: Fauci had to testify. I think he's wrong. The only
Speaker 1: way the committee can force Fauchi to talk is to
Speaker 1: grant him immunity, and that would give him immunity both
Speaker 1: federal and state. But Senator Paul, he want to do
Speaker 1: that because it would allow Fauci to escape all culpability
Speaker 1: for everything he did. So you know, the bottom line
Speaker 1: is it'll go to court. Fauci will probably win on
Speaker 1: the issue of the Fifth Amendment.
Speaker 2: Did you see today it came out that they have
Speaker 2: his cell phone. Now, remember the diaries came out, but
Speaker 2: because it was a work phone and it was given
Speaker 2: to him for his work capacity, they have his now
Speaker 2: his work phone, so.
Speaker 3: Who knows what who Fauci was texting.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, look, if you read through the diary.
Speaker 1: I haven't gotten through all of it, but I've read
Speaker 1: some salient portions of it, it's self incriminating. I mean,
Speaker 1: you know, here he is publicly saying, oh, the virus
Speaker 1: came from nature in a wet market in China. Privately,
Speaker 1: he's conceding in his diary. You know it probably came
Speaker 1: from the Wuhan lab. So and then, of course, if
Speaker 1: you look at his testimony in years past under questioning
Speaker 1: by Center Rampaul, it seems to me that Fauci is
Speaker 1: clearly lying about his gain of function support for that
Speaker 1: particular Wuhan lab. And by the way, if you're going
Speaker 1: to get money to a lab, that Wuhan Lab is
Speaker 1: the last place on Earth you should give money to.
Speaker 1: It had an abysmal track record for safety. You know,
Speaker 1: it was a recipe for leaking a deadly virus. That
Speaker 1: this gain of function insanity. It takes a virus and
Speaker 1: turns it into this sort of supersized Frankenstein deadly monster.
Speaker 1: There's no way that you can morally or even scientifically
Speaker 1: justify doing that, given the incredible risk that you could
Speaker 1: end up killing tens of millions of people worldwide, which
Speaker 1: is what happened Fauchi.
Speaker 3: I think he knew a lot more than he was saying,
Speaker 3: and I think he lied to a lot of people,
Speaker 3: and he knew the truth and he didn't tell us
Speaker 3: the truth.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're absolutely right. And the other aspect of this
Speaker 1: thing is that when you read his diary, what a narcissistic,
Speaker 1: you know, vainglorious person, you know, marinating in his own fame.
Speaker 1: He's the kind of guy who fell in love every
Speaker 1: time he passed by a mirror.
Speaker 3: I mean, that's.
Speaker 1: Love lovenating, you know, and it's.
Speaker 3: Just love is blind, right, Love is blind.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, he didn't care about the people who were dying.
Speaker 1: According to his his diary, he only cared about the
Speaker 1: number of times he was on TV and all the
Speaker 1: adoration he was getting on the most famous man in
Speaker 1: the world. It truly is sickening and shameful.
Speaker 2: By the way, one of the things in the Florida case,
Speaker 2: I was seeing, you guys, the Attorney general there is
Speaker 2: saying that Fauti was having his staff apply for awards,
Speaker 2: and one of the things they're investigating in the Florida case,
Speaker 2: it was a million dollar award and maybe like only
Speaker 2: a portion had to go back into research, and it
Speaker 2: meant that he would have had nine hundred thousand, and
Speaker 2: they're investing in them. He might have gotten nine hundred thousand,
Speaker 2: you know, some personal money that much for some more
Speaker 2: than he was pushing them over and over again apply
Speaker 2: for these and obviously that's unseemly at a time where
Speaker 2: he's clearly telling different stories to the public like capitalizing, you.
Speaker 1: Know, and the law also calls that fraud, so you know,
Speaker 1: for money and pressuring you know, colleagues and people under
Speaker 1: him to promote him for these awards so he could
Speaker 1: reap the financial benefits. You know that. Give me some
Speaker 1: time and I could probably come up with three or
Speaker 1: four more other crimes.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, keep us boasted. Greg, Thank you so much
Speaker 3: for coming on
