Political Reactions: Trump, Homan, Chicago Mayor, and Hasan Piker
At 18:50 · chapter starts 18:05
The political reaction clips come rapid-fire. Tom Homan frames Chinese birth tourism as one of America's biggest national security threats — children born in the US, raised under CCP education, could return as citizens eligible for high office. [1] — Tom Homan "A child born in the US to Chinese parents, raised in China under CCP education, can return as a US citizen and run for the highest offices …" 19:15 Speaker Mike Johnson calls birthright citizenship 'grossly abused.' Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson celebrates the ruling as proof citizenship isn't determined by race or ancestry, representing a coalition of 106 jurisdictions. The sharpest exchange comes from Hasan Piker, who called the potential rollback a 'modern Nuremberg race laws moment,' which Shapiro mocks as historically ignorant coming from someone he describes as a 'Cartier communist' who grew up in Turkey. The segment establishes the political fault lines before Shapiro pivots to his central argument: the courts aren't the real problem.
Chinese Birth Tourism Is a National Security Emergency
A child born in the US to Chinese parents, raised in China under CCP education, can return as a US citizen and run for the highest offices in the land. Border czar Tom Homan calls it one of the biggest national security threats America faces.
