today. sandra: shannon bream outside the courthouse for us. judge andrew napolitano is with us live as the supreme court has upheld the trump travel ban. your reaction, judge. you know, the lower federal courts in california, sandra, kept harping on the words of the president when he was a candidate. and the discenters went on it. the supreme court majority said today we don t care what he said as a candidate. we only care what he wrote as the president. and when he wrote this executive order, he cited his authority under the constitution to formulate the foreign policy of the nation and to secure the nation s borders. and he cited the statute that congress gave him which permits
any meaningful border controls. they ll support fig leaves if attached to an amnesty. that is not what we need to do. you can t give somebody coming illegally immunity from prosecution. an average american would not have that. if you were to violate federal law. the fact that i have two kids wouldn t give me immunity. you have to apply the law across the board for sure. the asylum process we should change override the court decision so the families can stay together and repatriate together but no immunity from prosecution for someone coming illegally. sandra: a lot of folks looking forward to testimony from peter strzok this week. as we know from that inspector general report, he did hold this f.b.i. agent he did hold an extreme bias of the president. but the i.g. found it wasn t used in decision making at the f.b.i. but still congress wants to ask him questions. the president is concerned that this will be a closed-door hearing happening tomorrow with peter strzok. the president t
so i think what we need to focus on is who will be the better governor for south carolina. i look forward to working with president trump come january. sandra: what is your support for the president? where are you closely aligned with president trump? i think president trump has done an incredible job of appointing conservative supreme court court justice and getting comprehensive tax reform through the congress, which has had a tremendous impact on the economy. he has deregulated a lot of things to help economic opportunity as well. and he has even ended the cold war in korea. the main thing i would differ with on the president is his endorsement for my opponent. sandra: interesting. how do you think this is going to go? a big night last night but an even bigger day today. what are your chances for victory? he says 100% for him. what you saw two weeks ago in the whole reason we re having a runoff is because governor mcmaster who is known by everyone could only get 42%.
fighting the good fight. he is an iraq veteran and the president s endorsement, good enough for me. sandra: speaking of which things you ve been working with the president on congress, immigration, fixing the crisis at our border. what is next in this heated debate in washington, congressman? if you want to deal with the border it is simple. you can do a targeted bill that people like mark meadows and ted cruz have offered that would say if people are coming illegally across the border not through a port of entry you keep the family together, you do a speedy asylum adjudication, most of these asylum claims aren t valid and so you do it and you can repatriate the family as a family unit. what the democrats want to do is they want to say any adult who crosses the border illegally, if they have a minor with them, then they should be released into american society. so they want to institutionalize catch and release which is a huge incentive for more illegal
his powers. at first reading it looks like it is a big win for the administration on the travel ban but looks like further court action will take place now. it is sent back to the lower court with strong guidance and very strong statements from the supreme court. sandra: the president has said he has acted in accordance with the law and his executive power to protect national security in all of this. to recap if you could, shannon. we ll open it up to our a-team panel, the president is receiving a limited sort of endorsement of this executive authority. the supreme court upholding the selective travel restrictions into the u.s. this is one that critics have labeled a muslim ban. the ruling is 5-4, shannon. it is. what they do is point to the immigration law that gives the president this power. there was discussion during the arguments the last case they heard in april about if you don t like the law, maybe congress should rewrite it.
