STEVE BANNON (HOST): Let me go to the soccer situation. My beef in this entire thing is this guy that they're talking about, the American with the red card, hello, is an anchor baby — an anchor baby.

The parents, what, the parents left Nigeria when she was 7 months pregnant or whatever, went to London, then came here to the United States, had the baby, went back to London, raised in London. He is — this is the exact anchor baby.

I'm not sure that he's an American citizen, and I don't care what people, oh, you're going against the — is this team a representative team of the United States of America? I ask you. Is it? I understand it's more competitive. Is the French team a representative team of the French? Watch it. You tell me.

We're in a fight in a battle for our civilization. We have to make some hard calls. We have to take some tough positions. 

I don't want to be lionizing an anchor baby just when we had the fricking Supreme Court of this nation essentially help destroy this country because it's Bush-think. It's John Roberts and Coney Barrett Bush-think.

The Bushes have always been open border. This is the problem you got down in Texas. This is the fight that people have all the time down in Texas. Don't ask me, ask the grassroots down in Texas.
