WATCH: White House Deputy Press Sec. Abigail Jackson Discusses America 250 on RSBN - 06/26/26

Joining us now on Right Side Broadcasting Network is White House Deputy Press Secretary Abigail Jackson. Thanks again for joining us here on Right Side. Great to be with you as always. Definitely. Let's dive right into that 24-7 news cycle. Recently, of course, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of the Trump administration on those two immigration-related cases, including, what, temporary restricted status for illegal aliens and asylum procedures. What is the White House's reaction to all of that victory? These are two massive victories for President Trump and for the Trump administration, but they're also big victories for the American people and, of course, the rule of law. On temporary protected status, the Supreme Court affirmed what this president has said all along, which is that temporary protected status is by definition temporary. It was never meant to be a pathway to permanent citizenship or status in the United States. And so the Trump administration, now, thanks to the Supreme Court, will be able to abide by the rule of law and enforce the laws as they are on the books. And the ruling on the asylum is also a big win for the Trump administration. It means that the Trump administration is able to stop the exploitation of our asylum system that has gone on for years and years, encouraged by Democrats in Washington, and that the Trump administration is able to make sure Americans are being put first. This is enabling us to fulfill key campaign promises and, once again, really just upholding the rule of law. So we're very pleased by these rulings and their great wins. Speaking of law, a law and order president, I mean, as soon as he stepped into the office there at the Oval Office as the 47th Commander-in-Chief, we saw the national emergency on the southern border right away. And it's something that really shut down what Biden and the whole crew did. Isn't that great to be a part of a White House that has those things going on for the safety of us? Absolutely. It's great to be part of an administration that is putting the rule of law first. And, you know, 10 or so years ago, you would have never thought we would have Democrats who are so insistent on chipping away on just law and order. But as we have seen, especially when President Trump was out of office, the Biden administration just cheered on the criminals that were crossing our border, that were invading our country. The Trump administration has definitely put a stop to that. We have secured the border. But also with these actions that the Supreme Court has taken in favor of the administration and a host of other pro-America policies that we are implementing, President Trump is slowly chipping away at the damage that Joe Biden did to our immigration system. And we're not stopping anytime soon. Exactly. And speaking of law, wouldn't it be great to see the Save America Act be signed into law by President Donald J. Trump? Because thanks to President Trump, the momentum has started to have an uptick in Washington. Since that Easter recess, it kind of went downhill, but now it's back up into the mainstream, you know, narrative, which is good, even in independent and alternative media like us here at Right Side. So, you know, what's your take right now on getting that thing passed ideally before the midterms? Yes, the Save America Act has been a top priority for President Trump for quite some time, and it continues to be one. As you see and all of your viewers see, the president talks about the Save America Act at just about every opportunity possible. And the reason he does this is because he knows how important it is to the American people. These are common sense policies, things like proving you're an American citizen in order to vote in American elections, showing ID when you cast your ballot, something you have to do when you go to the library to get a library card. And they're supported by the vast majority of Americans outside of the politicians in Washington, D.C., especially the Democrat politicians in Congress, trying to stop the president's agenda. So as you see, and as your viewers see, the president is continuing to push on this legislation. He knows it is the number one priority for the American people, and he is treating it as such, and he will continue to do so. It's pretty wild to see that President Trump said recently in the Oval Office that it's a 99% issue, meaning that's 99% of people support this. And to your point, it does seem like it is the extreme leftist Democrats or the mainstream media, maybe the fake news, are the only two entities that are really against the Save America Act. I mean, even there are Democrats that are saying, you know, we should have fair elections. I mean, isn't that wild to see that? Yes, and you're right. President Trump says it's a 99 to 1 issue, and I think that 1% is probably congressional Democrats and the fake news media. But yes, Democrat voters throughout the country, they want fair elections too. They want to know that their vote is counting and that illegal aliens aren't voting in their elections. So that's why the president is pushing so hard on this issue, because he knows it's not just a red issue. He knows it's not just Republicans. He knows it's good for all Americans, and not just Americans today and during his term, but for generations to come, it is absolutely critical to secure our elections. 100%. And finally, the president's speech just the other night at the National Mall to really kick off Freedom 250, he really brought it home to the American people, didn't he? Yes, the president's speech was absolutely electric. I was very lucky to be in attendance. And something I loved was how he talked about the greatness of our American history. I think this is something that Democrats and the mainstream media often try to belittle and attack America and all of the great things that we did. And President Trump didn't shy away from that at all. He talked about our incredible history and how we are the greatest nation history has ever known. And he also talked about moving forward and looking ahead and how great our country can still be and great things that we can do in the future. So the president struck a great tone, a very patriotic tone. The crowd was absolutely fired up to see him and what a great way to kick off our America 250 celebrations on the National Mall. Exactly. And we're only a few days away from July 4th. It's going to be pretty awesome to see the new Air Force One make a flyover. Have you seen the plane in person yet? I haven't seen it in person yet. I've seen the pictures just like you all, and it looks pretty awesome. But with President Trump in charge, who would expect anything less? Exactly. That's good stuff right there. Looking forward to it on July 4th, 2026, the White House Deputy Press Secretary Abigail Jackson. Thanks again for joining us here on Right Side. Great to be with you. You too.
