Two, a new executive order signed yesterday aiming at restricting birthright citizenship and what they call birth tourism. Joining us now on the John Schuster-Coldwell banker hotline is Lindsay Reiser. with CBS News and the president signing these two new executive orders, really kind of making his case for saying birthright citizenship curtailing it and that what they call birth tourism, Lindsay. Yes, good morning. So a lot of people who maybe saw the push alerts on their phone would think, didn't the Supreme Court just... strike down his efforts to limit birthright citizenship and even do away with it. And the answer is yes, but these two orders, according to legal experts I spoke with, are narrower. And so one does target, as you mentioned, this so-called birth tourism industry. But U.S. law already bans people from getting visas for the purpose of giving birth in the U.S., which is effectively what the EO also does away with. The other one. makes more people ineligible for birthright citizenship. So children of foreign citizens who lobby on behalf of foreign governments, children... of a parent who is from a country that's been designated a foreign terrorist organization. And remember back in June, SCOTIS struck down this broader order. And so one legal expert I spoke with Tom DePree, former deputy assistant attorney general says, yes, they will absolutely be challenged. But he also wonders that they might be, he thinks they might be in a stronger legal position when it comes to this. because the Supreme Court, in its opinion, essentially suggested there could be circumstances in which it would be appropriate for the U.S. to deny birthright citizenship. Jessica Levinson, another legal expert I spoke with, said that, again, she agrees that this is going to be challenged, but she also thinks that they also might have some legal arguments here. likely to be continued and we'll see if these pass muster. Okay, we'll see how that goes. So I'm trying to sort through all the information coming out on the Strait of Hormuz. Is there going to be more of an opening? Is there not? You hear conflicting stories and continuously. And that drama continues and you wonder when that vessel traffic will fully, you know, go through that Strait of Hormuz.

And that is, I think, one of the frustrating parts about what we're hearing from the administration. We hear a lot of threats, and then we hear the president say, you know, I got calls for my Gulf partners. I decided not to attack. We saw that for the fourth or fifth time over the weekend. And so we are still, even though the U.S. says that they have redirected 49 ships, we are still seeing. much decreased traffic in the strait of Hormuz. And so it sounds like Iran and Oman, they both say that they're close to a deal. It would be essentially two pathways, one year Iran, one year Oman for ships to get in and out of the strait. Now, the administration continually tells us that any kind of toll being charged is a red line for them. Well, Iran and Oman want to charge tolls. And so we're going to have to see if the administration does capitulate and says, okay, as long as this can reopen, which the president so far has said that absolutely no way. We are, but a lot of experts that I'm talking to, including Aaron McQueen or national security analyst, doesn't really see a world in which we go back to a pre-February 28th straight of Hormuz in which there were no tolls. You might be hearing a lot of headlines about our ammunition stockpiles. So we know that in July, the Center for Strategic and International Studies said that of the 2,300 Patriot missiles that we had pre-war, those are the surface-to-air missiles that intercept threats. Now there are about 800 or so of them left. We also know the U.S. has used virtually all of its attack-ums, long-range precision missiles. Now, the president in the Oval Office, he did admit that On some munitions levels, we are running out. He said we have certain types of munitions that are very powerful. We have unlimited, virtually unlimited supply. We have others where it's a little bit tighter. And so sources are telling CBS News that there's sort of some discussion among the military brass and the administration of, okay, do we use these munitions for the conflict or do we save them for defensive purposes? We know that the president has been saying we've got plants that are going to be ramping up production, but of course that takes time. And we also know that Ukraine is going to be licensing how to use these Patriot missiles too so that they can start building their own instead of the U.S. giving those to them. So maybe we'll have some developments today, Vanita, in terms of the war, in terms of an agreement on the strait. But also, it could just be still a slow trickle into the weekend of when and if that gets signed. Okay. So as you switching gears here, talking to Lindsay Reiser, she hosts the Daily Report 5 p.m. on CBS News streaming channels. She's giving us sort of a lay the land of all the big stories here this week nationally. And one of them is, as you plan your dinner tonight, are you afraid to have lettuce? Like, it just is coming to the point now where you just wonder, what can you eat anymore? And it really makes you think of where your food is from. And it's also scary because a lot of our food, unless you're going to local growers, the number of suppliers has decreased. And so when we do have these recalls, that is why they are so much more far-reaching. So the CDC reporting 27 cases of salmonella now connected to jalapenos grown in Mexico.

Chipotle, Cudoba, those chains use those jalapenos. They have pulled them. And so salmonella, I'm sorry, everybody, it's early in the morning. It can cause bloody diarrhea. It can cause issues of kidney failure spread into the bloodstream. The CDC says, again, that the chains have pulled them. They believe there's no ongoing risk. But this is happening as we're also dealing with this cyclosporiasis outbreak. That, of course, is the parasite that, like, embeds in your intestine that the CDC has traced to shredded iceberg lettuce from Taylor Farms in Mexico. That's sick in thousands. It killed two people in Michigan, although health officials say that they had severe underlying conditions. And so again, more of our food, according to food experts, is coming from fewer and fewer suppliers. So when this happens, it is more outsized. Now, the FDA does say they've issued the same number of recalls roughly this year as in each of the last five years. So it might feel like it's worse right now. I don't know that the data is supporting that right now, but the good news is that Michigan says that they believe that the cyclist crisis outbreak, the cases are on the decline, so they are actually lifting their recommendation to avoid bagged salad mixes. So you might also be wondering why the lag here, why, if this was recalled on, I think it was July 17th. Mid to late July, this lettuce was recalled. Why are we still hearing of cases? That was a question that I had. Well, not only does this parasite have a long incubation period, so you can actually get sick for two weeks after adjusting it. But think about the lag of reporting the cases, confirming the cases, and then publicizing the cases. And so all these state and local health workers are also having to trace, okay, what did you eat? You know, they're looking at receipts. It's very detailed. And it takes a while to figure out. And so right now, a lot of people are saying, okay, I'm sticking to maybe kale or some dark leafy greens. Other people are saying don't buy that pre-washed, pre-bagged lettuce. Make sure that you buy, you know, the whole heads. And others are saying just as much as you can right now shop local from your local grower, your local farmer. And businesses of Anita have already been impacted, Salad and Go, which is in Arizona and Nevada. They announced bankruptcy amid issues exacerbated by the cyclosporiasis outbreak. Sweet Green is not implicated at all, and they've changed their yearly outlook, saying that they believe sales will be down. So certainly this is having a ripple effect, not only for consumers wondering what is safe to eat right now, especially because there has been... not a ton of information coming from the top, except for HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.. saying we've got this under control, but it's also having implications for businesses. It does impact everyone. Certainly makes you think. Thank you so much, Lindsay. Have a great weekend. You too.
