Summary
First, they dig into a New York Times report that top Democrats discussed lowering the mandatory age of retirement for the Virginia Supreme Court so they could remove all seven justices and appoint others who would approve the congressional map with a likely 10-1 Democratic advantage.
Next, they applaud Erika Kirk's message to Hillsdale College graduates about why it's not only important to know about the American founding but to understand it and apply those principles to today's debates. They also discuss how she greatly outclasses the voices who are constantly denigrating her.
Then they welcome a CBS News report that many asylum seekers are now giving up and planning to leave the U.S. Greg explains how asylum is granted on very narrow criteria. Craig says this increase in self-deportation is very revealing.
Finally, California is is using nearly $20 million in taxpayer dollars to pay for diapers for as many as 100,000 newborns in the state. Gov. Newsom strongly disputes the price tag but Craig explains how Newsom has it all wrong and taxpayers are getting fleeced.

| 1:16.5 | And so now, of course, as a result of that and the Supreme Court decision that's allowing |
| 1:21.1 | some other states to quickly redraw maps, including Florida and Louisiana, the Democrats |
| 1:27.0 | are suddenly no longer in the driver's seat in the redistricting war, |
| 1:30.7 | but they're not done fighting yet. |
