Former Texas Congressman Louie Gohmert details the significant changes already underway in the first week of the second Trump administration, particularly concerning border security. Gohmert shares his observations from Texas, noting an increase in assets at the border and a renewed sense of encouragement among Border Patrol agents.

The discussion highlights the impact of Trump's leadership style, which contrasts sharply with previous administrations. Gohmert emphasizes the importance of clarity in political language, especially regarding immigration. He points out the shift from terms like "illegal aliens" to "undocumented workers" and stresses that returning to straightforward language is crucial for addressing the real issues at hand.

Also, freshman Congressman Jeff Crank of Colorado shares his perspective on the current state of Congress and the challenges ahead. Crank also discusses how Trump's executive orders on immigration are affecting people in his state. Crank emphasizes the importance of enforcing immigration laws and expresses his commitment to supporting military personnel affected by previous mandates.

Finally, Paul Kamenar from the National Legal and Policy Center discusses the legality of Trump's executive order aimed at ending birthright citizenship. This issue has sparked a whirlwind of lawsuits from various states and organizations, including the ACLU, challenging the constitutionality of such an action. Kamenar explains that the 14th Amendment grants citizenship to anyone born or naturalized in the United States, but Trump's order attempts to redefine who is considered 'subject to the jurisdiction' of the U.S. This has raised questions about the status of children born to undocumented immigrants and the concept of 'anchor babies.'
