Sara Gonzales and Ross Patterson discuss the controversy over a Texas hospital advertising birth packages to Mexican nationals, which they argue exploits birthright citizenship. They sharply criticize the Supreme Court's ruling upholding birthright citizenship and lament what they see as a decline in American sovereignty. The conversation also touches on Democratic socialism, the rise of AOC, and frustrations with the current state of Hollywood.
Summarized by Podsumo
Mission Regional Medical Center in Texas advertised birth packages in Mexico for $3,950 (natural) and $5,525 (C-section), promoting birth tourism with a now-taken-down website 'have my baby in texas.com'.
Sara calls Amy Coney Barrett and John Roberts 'traitors' for the Supreme Court ruling striking down Trump's executive order to end birthright citizenship.
Ross predicts AOC will be the 2028 Democratic nominee due to her ability to draw large crowds with socialist messaging, though he believes she would lose a general election.
The pair vent about 'woke' Hollywood, citing The Odyssey remake with Elliot Page and Lupita Nyong'o, and a 'Little House on the Prairie' reboot focusing on a black doctor's voice.
They discuss the 'exhausting' work of parenting in a media landscape filled with 'indoctrination', praising movies like 'Minions vs. Monsters' for being free of political messaging.
"Amy Coney Barrett and John Roberts are such traitors to this country. It is disgusting."
"If you think that this is the greatest country in the world, you should want to preserve it and make it very, very difficult actually for people to come in and be granted citizenship."
"I've got to see the soul sucked right out of your body next to me, and then I can breathe."
