## Resource

Pags sounds off after ABC, NBC, and CNN decline to carry President Trump's primetime address, asking why Americans shouldn't be allowed to hear directly from the president and decide for themselves. He then breaks down the growing battle over the SAVE Act as the Senate faces mounting pressure to act on one of the administration's top election priorities. Then, Matt O'Brien of the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) joins the show to discuss the reality behind mass deportation claims, the Supreme Court's birthright citizenship decision, and the biggest immigration challenges facing the country today.
