A Strong Start | Best 60ish Seconds

This week Charlie begins by highlighting President Trump signing his first major piece of legislation, the Laken Riley Act, as just one example of the administration's strong start.

Charlie next emphasizes Kristi Noem's appointment as Secretary of Homeland Security, replacing the devious and incompetent Alexander Mayorkas. Noem is already taking aggressive actions to combat illegal immigration; from joining Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents during an operation in New York City to overseeing the reinstatement of President Trump's "Remain in Mexico" policy and more. Stressing that legal immigrants are often the most vocal critics of illegal immigration,

Charlie then discusses the president's executive order related to birthright citizenship, focusing on the 14th Amendment.

The 14th Amendment grants citizenship to all persons born or naturalized in the United States. Charlie examines its second clause, which states "subject to the jurisdiction thereof," as it's become a point of debate regarding children born to those who entered the country illegally. Charlie questions whether individuals who enter the country illegally are truly subject to U.S. jurisdiction.

In closing, Charlie ends on a somber note by reflecting on Wednesday night's devastating midair collision in Washington--the deadliest air disaster in the United States in over two decades. Charlie extends his thoughts and prayers to all the families and friends who lost a loved one in the horrific accident, "may it never happen again."
