The thing that upset me the most, which is so frightening that it was even this close, was birthright citizenship. I

And uh I'll I'm going to give you a couple anchor babies. >> The whole word anchor baby is so [ __ ]

team. His parents were here. I forget. She couldn't go home. He was born here. >> She couldn't go home cuz she was too

pregnant. You know who else is an anchor baby, Cara? >> Who? >> Your co-host, Cara. My parents at the
00:00:33
ages of 19 and 24 got on steam ships from Glasgow and London respectively and they landed in Canada where my mom was a
00:00:41
stenographer and my dad was a candle salesman. They met at a dance. They fell in love. They said that we cannot endure
00:00:47
another winter here in Toronto. And they read an article in the Toronto Globe and
00:00:50
Mail saying that the best weather in North America was in this town called San Diego. So, they loaded up my mom's
00:00:58
Austin Mini Metro, which is basically a lawnmower with doors. And 7 and 1/2 months pregnant, my mom and my dad drove
00:01:06
to San Diego. And something like 37 days later, I was born at La Hoya County Hospital.
00:01:13
>> So, they were not citizens. They were just visiting. >> Oh, no. >> What? >> And let me make a flex. I'm a US
00:01:20
citizen. Me and my companies have paid well over hund00 million in taxes over the last 30 years. It seems like it's
00:01:27
worked out for everybody.
