The show played a soundbite from a Border Czar Tom Homan press conference where he said, “temporary means temporary.” CNN legal analyst Elliot Williams said Homan “does have a point,” but said “there wasn’t a ton of process” and it was “simply a stroke of a pen.”After Cornish read part of liberal Justice Elena Kagan’s ruling that read, “race entered into the president’s resolve to remove Haitians from this country,” Bluey turned to say the ruling is good for the President as it will help fulfill a campaign promise of mass deportations.When asked if he was happy with the ruling, he said, “Absolutely. I think that these rogue judges were out of step. Absolutely, I do.”Immediately after Bluey’s thought, New York Times podcaster Lulu Garcia-Navarro responded in a soft voice and said, “these were not illegal immigrants,” before she complained that conservatives “conflate everything”:“Exactly. And so the idea that the problem that I have always with this argument is made by conservatives is that they conflate everything, right? It’s like illegal immigrants, TPS holders. It’s basically anyone who’s brown, who has been allowed in this country.”Cornish then teamed up with Garcia-Navarro and went to Bluey in continuation of her conservatives’ “conflate everything” comment:“But I hear your point that, again, conflating mass deportation of illegal immigrants. Is that the same as haphazard deportation of illegal migrants that you have approved and vetted? And why lump those two together?”Bluey kind of chuckled and argued “I do think that we have a massive problem. What, upwards of 20 million people who entered the country illegally under Joe Biden’s watch?” Cornish continued to go after Bluey and wanted him to answer the “legal migrants” point: “I just want to make sure you get a chance to answer that point.”He responded and said Congress gave the authority to the secretary to revoke legal status and “rogue judges were interfering.” Cornish responded, “Because — that’s not what they have in their decision here,” before she returned to Garcia-Navarro’s racial animus argument.As Garcia-Navarro made the case about race and Cornish connected the ruling to Venezuelan earthquakes, the decision could also simply be realized as the court ruling the word “temporary” can actually mean “temporary.”The transcript is below.
