The ruling could very well bring about the end of the United States itself, which is precisely what the new Democrat Party wants. They're openly campaigning on it, as a matter of fact Just last night in Colorado, a socialist from Ethiopia unseated a fifteen term incumbent This is a socialist who was Brought here on a diversity visa, which shouldn't even exist. She believes America deserved nine eleven She wants to destroy capitalism and our entire country She wants to open the borders and law enforcement and make every foreigner a citizen. Here she is laying out some of her bright ideas Aolishing IS is just one step, right? Democrats have been in power multiple times over the last few decades and did nothing to address the immigration re expendures, increased spepend. Exactly. Yeah. And so if we're, I think there has to be an immediate pathway for every single undocumented immigrant that's here in this country today that does not require them to shell out ousands of dollars to go through the process for it to take decades at a time to be able to get to citizenship, An immediate pathway to citizenship. Do you believe that the nine eleven terrorist attacks on America were the inevitable consequence of American foreign policy inevitable in the sense that we destabilized a lot of the Middle East that forced people to believe that another act of violence was the only response And again, just like I said before, our responsibility is to getting rid of those conditions that lead to violence in the first place. We Force them to believe. We force them We forced them to believe that mass murder was the only option. Now this woman was backed by Hassan Piker, who's maybe the perfect example of why birthright citizenship should be abolished. As Corey Walker pointed out Piker was born in New Jersey to Turkish citizens and raised in Turkey. He wants to destroy this country from within. He's not secretive about it. He's not American in any sense of the word, but because of the fiction of birthright citizenship He's legally untouchable and now he's helping to elect political candidates determined to sabotage The country We're seeing similar election results all over the country from Maine to DC to Pennsylvania to New York California Third worldld foreigners have reached a critical mass to the point that they're electing one another Here's a Democrat congressman from the Dominicanublican Republic who now represents New York spepelling it all out for us. Listen We are the owners of that document, the Cstitution. An elastic document That will stretch includclude everybody And so We will continue to stand united to defend our document. prrotect our freedoms And fight for America, for every child so that every child has the opportunity to achieve the American dream. Oanola constituion Iano E Puebo Americano Donald Trump Nintendo. We are the owners, he says, of the Constitution. And when he says we, he doesn't mean me, he doesn't mean you, He means him This guy from the Dominican Republic apparently I didn't realize this. Apparently some guy from the Dominican Republic owns the Constitution Which is, he says, an elastic document that will stretch stretch to include everybody Well, what's a country that includes everybody It's not a country at all, of course I mean, what is anything any kind of institution, country, anything If it literally includes everybody, it's nothing Whatever defined that thing is gone. But that's the whole point. It's it's That's what they want. You know, it's a failed state that's guaranteed to go bankrupt and to destroy hundreds of millions of lives in the process. And this is their intention And if this continues unabated, then before long, based on population replacement rates Our country will be indistinguishable from hellscapes like Ethiopia or Somalia. We're in a position where As a matter of basic survival We need to eliminate every incentive for these people to come to our country. But the Supreme Court has decided, after closely studying the intentions of our founding fathers as well as the framers of the fourteenth Amendment that the Constitution is indeed a suicide pack It's a document they say that insists on the destruction of the United States But before things get too heavy, here's a little trivia to start us off, okay It's not a trick question or a brain burner or anything like that This is common sense or at least it used to be If a Mexican woman to a child while she's on vacation overseas in some fara away country Is the child automatically A Mexican citizen Yes or no What about if the woman is from Guatemala? If a Guatemalan woman gives birth thousands of miles away from the borders of Guatemala is the child a citizen of Guatemala. How about if the mother is from El Salvador? How about if she's from Honduras or the Philippines? In any of these cases Does the answer change Or does the child always inherit his mother's citizenship regardless of the specific country in which he happened to be born? Well as you may have guessed, the answer remains the same in every single one of these cases. The child is indeed a citizen of the country His mother is from Hondoras will award citizenship to a child of a Hondoran woman who's born overseas The Philippines El Salvador, Mexico, Guatemala, many other countries will all do the same The United States does this as well. If your parents are American, then no matter where you are born, you are automatically American as well Another way of saying this is that reggardless of where you may be born You are still subject to the jurisdiction of your mother's home country You'll grow up as a citizen of that country. You'll probably have to pay taxes to that country. You may have to register for the draft or some other form of military service in that country, depending on the laws. In every relevant respect, even though you were not born in that particular country, you are subject to their jurisdiction Okay With that in mind, here is the text of the fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution which was ratified in eighteen sixty eight. Here it is All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside I'll say that again. All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside We are probably starting to see the issue Under the plain text of the fourourteenth Amendment, it's not enough to be born or naturalized in the United States. If that was the case, the framers of the amendment would have stopp there, but they added another requirement In addition to being born or naturalized in the United States, in order to become a citizen, a child must be subject to the jurisdiction of the United States. So what does that mean exactly Well, one clue is that elsewhere in the Constitution, the equal prrotection cllause applies to quote anyy person within a state's jurisdiction So we can infer that in a jurisdiction. does not mean exactly the same thing as being subject to a jurisdiction, since these are two very different phrases that appear separately in the Constitution Being within a jurisdiction is pretty straightforward. You were born within the physical boundaries of some jurisdiction being subject to a jurisdiction clearly means something else, which is why they have these two different phrases in the same document Now the obvious translation here is that the child cannot be an anchor baby. He cannot be subject to the jurisdiction of some faraw country where he's automatically become a citizen Because if he's a citizen of that other country, which he is then he is subject to their jurisdiction That is the only way to make sense of this provision. Otherwise, the provision doesn't make any sense. It's redundant at best The framers could have simply written All persons born or naturalized in the United States are citizens of the United States. and The left and now the Supreme Court, they're pretending that that is all that the fourteh fourteenth Amendment says But it doesn't only say that If that's all it was intended to mean, it would have just said that, but that's not what it says. That's not what they wrote. They added that the child must also be subject to the jurisdiction of this country, meaning they cannot be foreign nationals, obviously They cannot be the children of illegal aliens who are citizens of some other country. obviously, it's not complicated. It's a straightforward, obvious interpretation of what the framers of the Amendment wrote And it makes complete sense because it's pretty much how every other country on the planet handles this issue Try going to Beijing or Tokyo and giving birth and then demanding they recognize your child as Chinese oranese as a Chinese or Japanese citizen They'll probably get a kick out of that. And yet on Tuesday And what was easily one of the worst and most consequential Supreme Court rulings in memory. a narrow majority of the Supreme Court, including all the leftists along with Amy Cononey Barrett and John Roberts. decided otherwise In their view, the words subject to the jurisdiction of the United States are completely redundant You know, the framers of the fourourteh Amendment apparently had no reason to include those words at all. They don't mean anything Because according to John Roberts, quote, every freeborn person in this land is automatically a citizen of the United States. This country, according to this allegedly conservative Supreme Court is compelled to award citizenship to every child born within our borders, even if the child's parents are cartel members who snuck into the country illegally. E if the child's mother is a birth tourist who flew into the country nine months pregnant in a scheme you know, on a fake visa for the sole purpose of giving birth to an American citizen on a technicality. Even if the child's clan in Somalia exists to defraud the United States at every available opportunity, still, they are all United States citizens In every single case, we're told, the framers of the fourteenth Amendment viewed citizenship More like a prize. than anything else As long as you pop out ay baby in the right geographic location, then you win the jackpot that there's something magical about the dirt itself. as long as you're standing on the dirt, as long as you're standing on this dirt automatically your citizen As long as you, if you are born on this dirt, then the dirt, the magical dirt confers citizenship ono you And we're all supposed to believe that the child is just as American as URI. They're entitled to all the benefits of American citizenship for the rest of their lives because of the precise location. where they were located when they were born. We have to subsidize that child for the rest of his life, which is what ends up happening in many of these cases Advertising can say just about anything. Every wireless company claims they have the best deal, according to their own commercials. they're all number one That's why it's worth paying attention when somebody else does the judging. Consumer Reports just completed a massive survey of wireless providers across America Only one company earned five out of five stars in every category, including coverage, support, value, and data And that company is Pure T which really says something. Good companies don't have to tell people they're good customers will do it for them. So If you're still paying inflated prices to one of the big wireless companies, it's worth asking why more without getting better service I use PureTalk because they actually deliver on what they promise. And right now, there's another reason to make the switch. PureTalk is a matching donation dollar for dollar until they reach two hundred fifty thousand dollars for America ass a wararrior partnership, an organization on the front linine supporting our veterans. Go to Peralkot com slash Walls to switch to the only wireless company awarded five stars in every category By consumer reports, no service contract, no cancellation fees, just phenomenal US. customer service on the five G network that powers America. Again, that'sureTalk d. com slash Walsh to make the switch to PureTalk a wireless company It actually lives up your expectations Now I'm going to discuss all the problems with this reasoning in just a moment. Because while it's somewhat technical, it's also important from a historical perspective We all have an obligation to understand our history and how it's being rewritten in front of us. At the outset, I need to make it clear that No country can survive what the Supreme Court has just prescribed. for the United States of America. And to a very real extent renders the legal debate moot Okay, no country in the history of the world has offered birthright citizenship, open borders and a comprehensive welfare state and survived for any length of time Okay you simply cannot promise citizenship and unlimited benefits to the entire world without inviting total destruction. clearly And so if the authors of the fourourteenth Amendment or the founders of the country intended to set us up for civilizational suicide. that we would have no choice but to defy their wishes But we're not morally required to kill the country and destroy our children's future Because some people one hundred and fifty years ago thought we should But as it happens, they did not think that we should. They did not intend any of this. as we'll get into Now what makes America so desirable to all these foreigners is that Americans live here We can govern ourselves unlike Somalis or Haitians or Venezuelans We're the most innovative and intelligent people on the planet, which is why we have Individual states that are worth far more than entire countries like Canada or France or the UK. through our hard work and ingenuity. We've generated more wealth than these people can ever comprehend We have we have a shared history language. a religious tradition one that is not premised on murdering all the infidels or worshiping pedophiles We are that shining city on the hill. We're the only Western country that still respects the freedom of speech We have Air conditioning, which is no small thing Far more Europeans die of heatstroke every year than die of gun violence in the United States T state that foreign invaders are entitled to American citizenship simply because they happen to be born here without consideration for literally anything else. defefies all common sense. It's tantamount to stating that the Constitution is Again, a suicide pack that as Stehven Miller said yesterday, it's such an obviously self destructive decision one that will so clearly hasten the end of the United States that It can't possibly be right As Samuel Alito pointed out in his dissent, if anything, this is a very fuel way of thinking You know, the idea that you're a subject of the king based on where you were born, whether you like it or not, it's precisely the kind of thinking that our founders rejected when they declared their independence from Britain And that's why in our citizenship test, the framers required allegiance T the United States, we transcended the feudal way of thinking and adopted our own system Now when I made this argument yesterday on social media, a few people tried to add a community note to one of my posts Their argument was basically, well You know, this has been the law of the land forever. We've always awarded afforded citizenship to anyone who was born here and the Supreme Court is just maintaining the status quo. So Therefore, there's no need to pan. This objection misunderstands every important aspect of this controversy. First of all, know the framers of the fourteenth Amendment and Civil rightights Act of eighteen sixty six that preceded the amendment. very clearly did not intend to give citizenship to everyone who was born in the country. In fact, the law specifically excluded the children of invading soldiers, the children of foreign diplomats and all the members of Indian tribes regardless of where they were born It wasn't until many years later that Congress passed the Indian Citizenship Act of nineteen twenty four, which afforded citizenship to members of Indian tribes who were born in the United States. Now the logic for excluding Indians was pretty simple. Even though they might be born on our soil, they nevertheless were subject to the authority of some other sovereign, namely an Indian tribe. and therefore, regardless of where they were born, the members of the Indian tribes were not awarded automatic citizenship under the fourteenth Amendment And that raises the obvious question from a logical perspective Why exactly are the children of today's illegal aliens entitled to citizenship while the members of Indian tribes We're not In virtually every case, the children of illegal aliens are citizens of some other country in those countries. as third world and hellish as they may be are generally far more developed than the Indian tribes. which were located in America. So why are the Indian children not subject to the authority of the United States while every other illegal alien is Now the majority of the Spree C cour never answered this question. They didn't even attempt to. As Alito writes in his dissent, quote, The court cannot explain why the fourourteenth Amendment did not confer citizenship on children born in the United States to tribal Indians. Federal law governed those children and their parents to the extent the federal government wished If the court were right that the citizenship clause applies to anyone who is born here is subject to our laws, then the fourteenth Amendment would have conferred citizenship on all tribal Indians, but the exception for tribal Indians was well established at the time and remained until Congress eliminated it by statute Now the point is it's completely wrong to suggest that the fourourteenth Amendment always guaranteed birthright citizenship to everyone who happened to be born here There were limitations on that principle And pretty much everybody understood that. And that's why in nineteen ten, the Department of Justice issued a report stating, quote, It has never been held, and it is very doubtful whether it will ever be held that the mere act of birth of a child on American soil to parents who are accidentally or temporarily in the U.S operates to invest such child with all the rights of American citizenship Now additionally, as Clarence Thomas wrote in his dissent, quote Representative Bingham, the architect of the fourteenth Amendment, believed that the citizenship cllause would not apply to the children of temporary visitors. Senator Trumble, a principal champion of the amendment, agreed. Jacob Howard, who introduced the citizenship Clause, agreree. Congressmanen after congressman, during the legislative debates, agreed. Congress in eighteen seventy, agreed. presresident Gants attorney generenal agreed President G grants attorney general Before that agreed, the Supreme Court in eighteen seventy three agreed, state legislatures agreed. exxecutive brranch decision makers over the course of multiple decades agreed, Justice Miller agreed Thomas Cooley agreed, a battery of other eminent scholars agreed. And the great Justice John Marshall Harlan on three separate occasions agreed Indeed, Senator Jacob Howard, who was cited very selectively in the majority opinion, was pretty explicit on this point This amendment will not, of course include persons born in the U. S who are foreigners, alieners, aliens who belonged to the families of ambassadors or foreign ministers So it is pure fantasy to suggest that we've always had birthright citizenship or this was ever a settled issue. What happened is that an amendment was ratified containing a rule with one particular scenario in mind. The rule came with several exceptions right off the bat It was never a bright line mandate. And then the rule was interpreted with all kinds of exceptions over the following decades All amendments work like this. We have restrictions on the first and secondcond ammendments, for example, that the founders never could have considered at the time They didn't come up with a law against private citizens owning fighter jets because fighter jets didn't exist at the time. They also didn't come up with laws restricting your ability to pirate DVD's because those didn't exist either. Instead, the founders came up with a general principle And then we've applied that principle to new scenarios as they arise. In eighteen ninety eight, the Spreme court decided a case called Wong Kim Art As Kavanaugh pointed out, this case established that there were at least four exceptions to the idea of birthright citizenship childildren of foreign sovereigns or their ministers or born on foreign public ships or of enemies within and during a hostile occupation part of our territory and children of members of the Indian tribes. Now those were the exceptions that were necessary at the time. That doesn't mean We're stuck with those exceptions forever If anything, that case established that so called birthright citizenship is not absolute. And we can limit or even eliminate The entire concept at will All it established is that of course you have to have exceptions that apply to the situations that you're facing And circumstances have certainly changed to the point where that solution is long overdue. You know The authors of the fourourteenth Amendment were not concerned about addressing the citizenship of hordes of illegal aliens, nor were they concerned about birth tourism And we all know why The rate of illegal immigration and birth tourism was essentially zero at the time. As Samuel Lito points out in his dissent, which is worth reading in its entirety if you haven't We didn't have a significant population of illegal aliens in this country until the nineteen sixties And our legal immigration population was very, very different as well. I, back then, only around five percent of our total migrant population came from Africa and Asia. onlyn around ten percent came from south of Central Americ The vast majority came from Europe Canada and Australia Well today by contrast, Half of the migrants are coming from South and Central America. forty percent are coming from Africa and Asia. That adds up to ninety percent of the total is coming from these continents, these regions And That's just one way of summarizing the change we've all seen sixty years ago We didn't have a deluge of statistically low IQ impoverished anti American foreigners raaiding our country and getting on the welfare rolls Now we do. No sane person can possibly believe authors of the fourourteenth Amendment had anything like current situation in mind when they wrote the text They did not intend and could not have intended to grant automatic citizenship to millions of third world illegal immigrants sneaking across the border Because no such scenario was even conceivable at the time. And for that matter, sixty years ago We certainly didn't have any birth tourism because no pregnant woman was going to get on a boat and spend a few months making her way to the United States But now we have airplanes So this happens all the time. Watch. An alert Smithtown toown employee noticed a strange pattern of birth certificates. five babies from one house at one time. An investigation led to an international fraud scheme an alleged birth tourism ring. operating on Long Island for three years. Fraudulently facilitated the births in the United States of approximately one hundred and nineteen Turkish children. And those children now hold birthright US citizenship. It's the fourteenth Amendment that grants citizenship to any child born in the US. Officials say in this case, ringleaders brazenly advertised in Turkey. Translation. If you believe your baby should be born in the USA and become an American citizen, you're in the right place. What's Iillegal alleged lies to obtain travel visas Fraudulent Medicaid claims for babies and moms who stayated seven birthHouses across Suffolk County. Women paid up to ten thousand dollars each for accommodations and free health care paid by US taxpayers. They're doing it on the backs of the taxpayers. They're milking the Medicaid system. Six people arrested, charged with money laundering and two million dollars in Medicaid fraud So this is a lot like the Somali frauds. The Feds might catch a handful of them, but it's happening so frequently that they really aren't making a dent. And in a moment, we'll talk about ways to end this practice for good, but for now point is that birth tourism was not a problem that the authors of the fourourteenth Amendment considered or had any reason to consider Instead, theain purpose of the fourteenth Amendment was to award citizenship to newly freed black slaves. That was the primary focus of the framers of the Aendment In today's uncertain economy, American financing is helping families find a way out of the high interest trap. We're heading into summer, but the economic clouds clearing for most middle class families between persistent inflation and the cost of daily life You're likely feeling the pressure. You've worked hard for your home Probably have more equity than you realize, yet the summer surge is forcing many to rely on credit cards It's an exhausting cycle, but American financing understands twenty twenty six requires a real strategy That's why they have salary based mortgage consultants with mortgage rates in the fives. Their customers are saving an average of eight hundred dollars a month by wiping out high interest debt. That's money that stays. your pocket to fight back against rising costs, no upfront fees, no pressure and You start today, you could delay two mortgage payments Call American Finance today eight six Five, six, nine, forty seven, eleven, That's eight, six, six, five, six, nine, forty seven eleven Visit Americanfinancing dot net slash Walsh Hey, it's Ry Reynolds from MitMobile Now, I was looking for fun ways to tell you that Mint's offer of unlimited preremium wireless for fifteen dollars a month is back So I thought it would be fun if we made fifteen dollarars bills, but it turns out that's very illegal.

And here's how she made that argument.ote The amendment caused a paradigm shift in the trajectory of our nation The teacher who scolds a student for bullying a classmate hopes the student learns the broader lesson of treating everybody with kindness, not just that one kid. In the aftermath of the Civil War Those who championed the fourteenth Amendment, both within and beyond Congress understood the assignment their work product Their work product used language that transcended race and region and thereby changed and brought in the meaning of freedom for all Americans Yes, the supporters of the fourourteenth Amendment understood the assignment, writes Contanji Brown Jackson. That's her argument for why the fourteenth Amendment applies to every foreigner who's born in the country never intended to She's using TikTok lingo to explain it away. And it's not the first time she's done this, by the way used, you know, the language of a fourteen year old on TikTok. reccently, she used the phrase wait for it in one of her desents She was trying to passive aggressively make the point that district judges can't possibly be overstepping their authority by shutting down everything the Trump administration is doing, even though it's obviously what was happening And she used that G Z cliches to get the point across. I mean at this rate before long, we're going to see Kontani Brown Jackson say that the Trump administration is giving fascism or something like that She'll say the Democrats ate It left no crumbs We're just months away from Jackson using LMAO and a laughing face emoji in an official legal document. It's going to happen. And she's going to sign off of a concurring opinion by writing ten out of ten no notes or some bullet like that It's going to happen. I mean, we're we're almost there In the citizenship case, it's obvious why Jackson decided to start talking like a fifteen year old. She understands that She had no real argument. In her view, having allegiance to a country means that you're in town And you know, you steal a wallet and the police arrest you That's all it takes, according to Katanja Brownson for you to be subject to the jurisdiction of the United States and to have complete allegiance T our country, watch thinking about this. and I think they There are various sources that say this. that you can have you obviously have permanent allegiance based on being born in whatever country you're from That's what everybody recognizes. But you also have local allegiance when you are on the soil of this other other sovereign. And I was thinking, you know,'m I a U.S. citizen am visiting Japan And what it means is that you, if I steal someone's wallet in Japan, Um The Japanese authorities can arrest me and prosecute me. It's allegiance meaning can they control you as a matter of law. I can also rely on them if my wallet is stolen to you know under Japanese law go and prosecute the person who has stolen it. So there's this relationship based on, even though I'm a temporary traveler I'm just on vacation in Japan I'm still locally owing Allegiance in that Now even if you know nothing about the law, As Kontanji Brown Jackson apparently knows nothing about the law. Hearing this, you know she has no clue what she's talking about. You could pull a random woman off the street and she'd be about as convincing as a Supreme Court justustice as Jackson is, as best like addult, she's trying to make the argument that if you could be arrested by the police, then you're subject to this jurisdiction of the United States within the meaning of the fourteenth Amendment There's no reason to believe that the fourteenth Amendment was ever supposed to work like that or the fourteenth Amendment was ever intended to award citizenship to everybody born in this country because it didn't do that at the time. Again, to give just one example, Indians were not awarded citizenship, even though they could theoretically have been arrested. If they stole somebody's wallet Additionally, none of the senators debating the law ever suggested otherwise. It was mainly about giving citizenship to freed slaves Because they weren't loyal to any other country they were They were they were domiciled here. Many of them had just fought in an American war They had all the obligations of citizens And in short, They were nothing like today's illegal aliens from the Third worldorld. It's an entirely different situation that they were trying to solve in this with this amendment. Senator Lymon Trumble, the author of the citizenship Clause in the Civil Rights Act, which provided the backbone of the fourteenthmendment was very clear that birth did not automatically Grant citizenship And what's incredible about Trumble is that like Senator Howard, he actually cited he's actually cited several times in the Supreme Court's majority opinion yesterday, as if he would support their ruling. But Trump is also cited in the dissense because it turns out, If you don't selectively quote him clearly did not favor the idea of universal birthright citizenship desescribing the fourteh Amendment, Tumble said,ot The provision is that all persons born in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof are citizens. And that means subject to the complete jurisdiction thereof What do we mean by subject to the jurisdiction of the United States not owing allegiance to anybody else That is what it means Well, those statements are very different from saying, if you're born here, then you're a citizen no matter what. He's clearly alluding to a much more specific test. onene that requires complete jurisdiction, not merely partial jurisdiction. That means no other country can have a claim to jurisdiction over the child and the child in turn cannot owe allegiance to anybody else. Additionally, Trouble's test requires that the alien owes no allegiance to anyone else. These are major additional criteria, obviously But Katji Brown Jackson ignores all this because Who needsk history when, you know, you have TikTok And according to Jackson, you have allegiance to a country If you steal a wallet and get arrested by the police That's how seriously she's taking this whole exercise On top of that, for most of this country's history, the idea of universal birthright citizenship was seen as totally insane This wasn't really even a controversial point. Harry Reid, the leader of the Democrats in the Senate, arguably the most powerful Democrat in the country, introduced legislation declaring that the child of an illegal alien or temporary visitor would, quote, not be a citizen of the United States or of any state solely by reason of physical presence within the United States at the moment of birth As Reid put it quote, No sane country would offer a reward for being an illegal immigrant. Every prominent Democrat was talking like this up until very recently which you might not realize Watch Fucking borders That's an oxymoron something we can't tolerate Borders of other nature Our definition as a nation and our protection country. borders that doesn't they don't exist. We can't tolerate them. So let's say from the start that we all in this body, and I know I can speak very firmly for the Democrats support strong border control and it must be part And the first part of any comprehensive immmigration reform We have it is our obligation as elected officials to keep the American people safe And our borders are our first line of defense, one of our early lines of defense to do that This is one of those times when the Democrats say something or do something or support something and they say, you know, everyone's always agreed. What are you talking about Why are you objecting to this Everyone's always agreed with it But then in reality it's like you didn't even agree with this. What are you talking about? Nobody agreed with what you're saying right now, including you until about fifteen seconds ago. You didn't even agree with yourself fifteen seconds ago on this issue Nancy Pelosi, by the way, was not out of step with California voters on this. In the nineteen nineties, California voters overwhelmingly passed proroposition one hundred and eighty seven, which required that, quote, everyvery law enforcement agency in California shall fully cooperate with the United States regarding any person who' arrested if he or she is suspected of being present in the United States in violation of federal immigration laws Now it's hard to imagine that Californians would support a law like that, but they did This was before California became a colony of Mexico Nevertheless, the voters were still ignored. A judge quickly shut down the law, overriding the will of the voters And As a result of the demographic transformation of this country, we now face a crisis That would have been unthinkable to the men who drafted the fourteenth Amend and just one nine month stretch under the Biden administration, as Justice Kavanaugh pointed out in his dissent More than three million illegal aliens entered into the United States that we were aware of the actual number is probably five times that a am minount. That's just one nine month period. Over the course of Biden's full term, more than ten million illegal aliens cross the border. and we're allowed to remain in the country This was a deliberate policy choice. justust two months into Biden's administration, the DHS secretary made this announcement to the entire thirird worldorld watch Some loving parents might send their child to traverse Mexico alone to reach the Southern border our southern border I hope they don't undertake that perilous journey. But if they do We will not expel that young child Well, you can't get more explicit than that. They invited an invasion. They wanted foreigners to come here and produce as many anchor babies as possible. And that's exactly what happened. And that's obviously again not. What the authors of the fourourteenth Amendment had in mind when it was written At every level, Democrats permitted all of it, even now as socialism, the trademark ideology of the Third worldor, is ascendant in the United States as a result of their open borders policies. Democrats are capitulating. Adam Schiff just went on CN to declare that socialism is a new idea and that he welcomes these socialists to Congress. watchatch. She has sympathetic references to communism. about Marxist ideology, talks about seizing the means of production, abolished police, prisons and borders. wiping her hands on a U. S. flag. She now says, quote, I have 've grown considerably in the years since these tweets, and I'm focused on our community and our community's future, which is not exactly disowning. comments Do you what do you make of these comments and the fact that This is a growing brand of the Democratic Party Well, I wouldn't say that those comments are reflective of a growing brand in the party I understand that she's advocated closing all prisons, defunding police departments, opening borders none of those views are within the mainstream of the Democratic Party. But I will say this, it is reflective, among other things, of the power of Mamdani, of mayayor Mamdani, I think he is incredibly charismatic leader. I think he is inspiring New Yorkers and winning people over and has enormous clout in New York There was a lot of fear when AOC first ran for office that She was going to be this dangerous influence. She's been a great member of Congress. She's been articulate forceful and made a profound case for change. So I'm not afraid of new members or new ideas in the party. I welcome it. One thing though, I think is an absolute takeaway in these races as in others, and that is The status quo is just deeply unacceptable to the American people and they're looking for a change agent. yes, the bold new idea of socialism. What an amazing new concept. You know, you just seize the means of production, give everybody free stuff. What could go wrong? certainly never been tried before to catastrophic results and hundreds of millions of deaths all over the world Now Schiff is not alone on this. Here's Senator Gillibrand of New York saying socialism is a good trend because it shows younger voters are fired up Fidel Vergas presresid CO HSF is your explanation for what happened in New York? primaries and especially those in New York City How you taking that to heart a senator from New York as the head of the Senator campaign and as a member of the Democratic Party Yes. So New York had a very strong change election There was a huge interest in new candidates, candidates, younger candidates in some instances, the next generation of candidates And so there was several instances where incumbents lost to challengers because of that trend. And that trend is a very good trend for nationwide elections because it shows how deep the interesterest in change is. and how fired up new voters are, younger voters are, different demographics of voters Now when Senator Trumble and the other lawmakers were debating the fourteenth Amendment, this is not what they had in mind. They were not interested in destroying the United States. And we can be sure of that because from the transcripts We had none of these senators were socialists. None of them talked about ending capitalism or abolishing the police or opening the borders. But when you open the borders to everybody and grant citizenship to every third worldld alien who happens to be born here This is what you get. To use a phrase K contanji Brown Jackson can understand John Roberts and Amy Cony Barrett simply don't understand what time it is And we're live from the living room as Doug eyes up the match they spread He's reaching for the buffalo wing. Perfect Hang on, what's this? Oh, he's good for a Cat of Pepsi too. Inredible What a finish Sensational combination. Look at the delight on his face. There's no doubt about it. It just tastes better Match days deserve Pepsi. Food deserves Pepsi. Grab a pack of Pepsi Zero Sugar for today's match It's poetry in motion But this episode is brought to you by Street Easy, you gotta ask yourself, Wanna talk about the time you lived in the greatest city on Earth or still live in it? In the city where a matinee leads to two AM tacos Your New York era can last a lifetime. With twenty years of NYC know how, Street Easy can help you become a forever New Yorker. Visit streeteasy d. com to buy or rent in NYC. StreetEasy is an assumed name of Zillow Inc, which has licenses in all fifty states The federal society, which drives the selection of these conservative judges, these allegedly conservative judges is simply too weak on immigration They pick judges who, unlike the left wing judges, often vote against the interests of their party as a result, as JD Aance pointed out last night Desperate measures are necessary to reverse the downward trend. that we're clearly on We need to get rid of the filibuster for one thing and immediately passed the SV actct Save America Act legislation itself The problem that they have with all due respect is that they're worshippping dying institutional norms when the Democrats are in fact bragging that as soon as they get control, they're going to throw that stuff aside and make it so much harder for Republicans to even win elections. So what some of these Republicans are saying is they don't want to give up on the norm of the filibuster, this sacred Senate institutional norm that a few senators are obsessed with, including, of course Mitch McConnell, the problem, Laura is that Democrats themselves are saying the minute that they get power, the filibuster is going out the door. So unilaterally submitting and surrendering as Republicans, when Democrats are openly bragging that they're going to get rid of the filibuster, it's just handing your enemy a weapon that they're going to use to strike you down. It's absurd. It doesn't make any sense, but that's why we frankly have to get better senators in there in the future Yeah, you've been following what's going on with the Democrat partarty and the rise of socialism Now there are plenty of discrete steps we can take along these lines after abolishing the filibuster we can make birth tourism A serious felony offense imprison any foreigners who enter this country to have a child, which is immmigration fraud by any definition eliminate all visas of any kind from every third worldorld country Don't let them get a tourist visa, a work visa, an academic visa, anything. Okay, it's going to lead to them scamming us even more. most importantly launch new immigration raids in every major city in the country. When the blue haired lesbians start show ups start blowing their whistles and crying about it Who cares? arrest them for obstruction. Throw them in Guantanamo Bay if you have to We simply don't have the luxury tolerating these people anymore While I've just outlined the case that birthright citizenship is a fake concept The truth is, the legal argument isn't actually that important in the end. I mean, as the saying goes, he who saves his country violates no law Donald Trump reposted that quote recently And now it's time for him to act on it This is a principle that holds true regardless of the opinions. that John Roberts cooks up. When he's trying to make the court seem non partartisan It's a principle that holds true no matter what Amy Cononey Barrett writes when she's done crying over George Floyd's overdose The actual birthright The real birthright belongs to my children N the child of some Guatemalan woman who just showed up here belongs to my kids and the kids of all real Americans They have a birthright to live in a country that resembles the one our ancestors established and intended And now that birthright The only true birthright has been destroyed in favor of the imagined birthright of children born to parents who don't even belong in this country and who have no ancestral or cultural ties to it. Whatsoever It's total madness I mean, it's suicide. Words cannot describe how evil it is With its latest decision, the Supreme Court has made it very clear that our institutions will not protect What's rightfully ours. what belongs to all of our children As Justice Thomas put it, the citizenship clause added greatly to the dignity and glory of American citizenship Today's opinion devalues that citizenship, his opinion, which is much longer than Litoss, is also worth reading At one point, he cites the Asuma Theological by Aquinas for the proposition that, quote, if foreigners were allowed to meddle with the affairs of a nation as soon as they settled down in its midst Many dangers might occur since the foreigners not yet having the common good firmly at heart. might attempt something hurtful to the people And this has been the default understanding of Western civilization for a very long time hundreds of years, thousands of years. and now our institutions are rejecting this principle a principle which amounts to Basic common sense. And as a result, we now have no other choice but to remake our institutions. before the enemies of this country who are winning elections at a rapid pace destroy them outright. Get rid of the filibuster Car war on the thirird world, not simply the communists and the Birth Turists but all of it Use existing authority under the Immigration Nationality Act to ban not only all Third Worlders, but also all women of child bearing age entering the United States ll Maria Salazar from the GOP, along with every other Republican who's endorsed the birthright citizenship ruling block existing foreign nationals from getting identification numbers which they're using in lieu of social seecurity numbers to apply for jobs and housing and other benefits I mean, we're well past the point where a fraud task force can make any meaningful difference. The only way to prevent an inevitable takeover, the only way to prevent a catastrophe of historic proportions is for every Republican to become someone that they'll vilify in fifty years. beccome a Joseph McCarthy Iome a Richard Nixon They'll try to destroy us, yes, but they're doing that already. And if we manage to match their level of intensity or even come close to it in the end will'll accomplish exactly what McCarthy Nixon and other great men of history did will do what the Supreme Court just failed to do. will'll put an end to an unlawful and long running attack on this country an anti democratic coup in plain sights And we will save what is left of the United States I'll do it for the show today. Thanks for watching. Thanks for listening. talkalk to you Tmarrow, have a great day. Radical Islm has designs openly on the West. The FBI orded a terror plot on New Year's Eve violent attack over the Halloween weekend in Michigan. Protests on college campuses showing no signs of stopping Oh.
