LAWRENCE JONES (CO-HOST): I don't care about international law. I care about the laws that govern this country. And I think we are setting a dangerous precedent that we have the courts involved with the visa process. So now every time someone doesn't like that their visa got denied or rejected, we have essentially said now that's up to the courts to decide? 

Show me any statute that talks about the visa process. Sure there's laws that govern our immigration process. But, when it comes to the visa process, the secretary of state has wide discretion. 

And now we have a guy that is beating his chest. He has anti-American views. He is trying to destroy a lot of the things that we hold true to our country. He stands with Hamas and a lot of the pro-Palestinian causes that are there that we don't support. And now we're letting him celebrate it outside of the courtroom. Not a good look.
