Thank you for listening and my sincere appreciation to Hillsdale for their sponsorship.

What is wrong with a nation trying to know how many citizens it has? Why is that such a controversial issue?

For a nation to figure out how many people here are citizens of our nation.

And yet the Supreme Court with John Roberts flipping once again with the Liberals decides to say,

nope, can't do it. Sorry, go back to the lower courts. What a mess of a ruling. Another John Roberts sell out.

It is not the great one, Mark Levin, but that's okay. I am your fellow Levinite Rich Ziole. Happy to be with you tonight from Mark's hometown of Philadelphia.

Roberts is a disgrace in so many different ways over the years. He's the guy we can all say, hey, thanks for Obamacare, John Roberts.

Thank you for doing what Congress wouldn't do years ago into clear Obamacare attacks.

Am I doing so, of course, saving Obamacare? Today, he says, you know what? This census question, this citizenship question.

We don't like it because we don't like your motivations for how he came up with it.

So the president wants to have a count of how many people in this country are legal citizens.

I think it's a very important count because we hear different numbers all the time of how many people are here legally or illegally.

I've heard ranges from 11 million to 45 million illegal immigrants. I don't know. Nobody does. They're all estimates.

Some people say 11, some people say 13, some people say 45 million, some people say 35 million. It's all over the place.

So the president has said, let's count and figure out how many people are United States citizens. Why not?

There's a couple of advantages doing so. Obviously. Well, number one, you can figure out what kind of congressional districts you want to have.

Every 10 years after the census, they redistrict and they figure out which states get more seats or less seats in Congress in the House of Representatives.

That's why some states might lose a seat, another state might gain. And this all has ramifications for electoral college, obviously, because of a state gets more seats.

That number adds up to get more electors and then the state becomes even more powerful. And obviously you want to make sure that if people are moving out of a state like my state in New Jersey where everybody's fleeing New Jersey because it's ridiculous and it's overtaxed.

And nobody wants to retire New Jersey little live there. Well, then maybe they should lose a representative in Congress because everybody's fleeing their high tax blue state.
