00:03:09.000Four cases today, I'd say three everyone would consider a win, and the one is going to be much more divided because we also got the Supreme Court ruling on guns in Hawaii.
00:03:20.000Basically, Hawaii had a law that said if you have a legal concealed carry permit, you can't bring it on any private property that's open to the public.
00:03:29.000And so, big win for gun owners in Hawaii, big win for gun owners in any blue state where they still do everything they can to block the right to bear arms.
00:03:37.000But much bigger than that, we had two rulings related to.
00:03:43.000We're still waiting on the birthright citizenship one, and we remain skeptical, but it's important to know when we get wins.
00:03:50.000So, first, the Supreme Court ruled that the Trump administration is allowed to get rid of temporary protected status specifically for Haitians and for Syrians in the country.
00:04:03.000TPS, as they call it, means that people who are in the U.S. illegally, it is established they're here illegally, they are temporarily blocked from being deported because of.
00:04:14.000An emergency in their countries, it's not very temporary.
00:04:17.000Yeah, this is what drives you nuts when you see this stuff because they say, well, they're not illegals.
00:04:26.000No, just because you put a name on them, just because you game the system, just because the Democrats basically want to flood the country with third worlders doesn't make it legal.
00:05:34.000Okay, so Dana, we read it as a win for the Trump administration, which has wanted to wipe out temporary protected status for more than a million people who are living here in this country.
00:05:42.000These cases centered on a number of Haitian and Syrian refugees who were here in the country.
00:05:47.000And basically, what the court has said is that they can't challenge this decision by.
00:05:53.000The Department of Homeland Security by the administration that they're the ones who get to make the assessment about whether they leave or not.
00:06:14.000I mean, as the example is, we had about 300,000 people, 350,000 Haitians are under temporary protected status because they gave them it twice.
00:07:56.000So we want to call BS on this and say, we're not going to let you do this anymore.
00:08:02.000And so the Trump administration has been saying, yeah, when you arrive at your front door, we're turning you around.
00:08:07.000This is the remain in Mexico policy, among other things.
00:08:09.000You remain in Mexico while we consider whether we actually evaluate this.
00:08:14.000And the Supreme Court said that's valid.
00:08:16.000They're allowed to turn them around at the front door.
00:08:18.000So, one of the increasingly, one of the dwindling means through which migrants have to try to worm their way into the United States and remain long term has been closed off.
00:08:45.000And I want to flag, I know, I hope we're wrong, but I want to flag, even if that goes against us, all that does is preserve a status quo we've had for a century.
00:09:26.000And again, I just say to Chief Justice Roberts a great country would not allow itself to be gamed by birth tourists and foreigners dropping a baby off on the other side of a border.
00:10:36.000It's just such a perfect symbol of how sinister the open borders forces are that you'd create something called temporary protected status, which clearly existed for like, you're supposed to be deported.
00:11:06.000If you're a refugee in America, an asylum seeker in America, neither of those statuses precludes you from just visiting your home country that you had to flee because it's unsafe.
00:11:28.000Highlight a detail here because I know a lot of you in the audience are Christians, and maybe you get asked questions about aren't you supposed to protect the sojourner in your land?
00:11:43.000City leaders say an estimated 15,000 Haitians call Springfield home, but their temporary protected status, which was extended back in 2024, is set to end Wednesday, meaning many of them could soon be forced to go back to Haiti or at least leave the U.S. Welcomeing immigrants is as important as welcoming Christ himself.
00:12:12.000So, first of all, it says in Acts that God ordains the nations and boundaries.
00:12:17.000From one man he made all the nations that they should inhabit the whole earth, and he marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands.
00:13:07.000The difference there, if you look at the root word, ger, sojourner, stranger, that was a legal resident who entered lawfully, submitted to Israel's laws, and often assimilated, okay?
00:13:20.000That is a very distinct difference, okay, than what we have now.
00:13:23.000They were not invaders, they were not welfare migrants, they were not lawbreakers.
00:13:27.000Israel had borders, they controlled their entry, they still control their entry.
00:13:31.000I would love if we had borders as strong as Israel's are today.
00:13:35.000Foreigners could be excluded or face consequences.
00:13:38.000If they didn't live up to those commands.
00:13:42.000So these are very, very different things.
00:13:44.000Okay, now it says in the New Testament, you got to submit to your governing authorities.
00:13:47.000So if we, as the United States of America, the governing authority that was elected duly by the people, deems that TPS time has run out, you got to go because that's submitting to the governing authorities.
00:14:03.000And there is, by the last point I'll make, there is zero, zero command in the scriptures about.
00:14:09.000Requiring open borders or amnesty for anybody.
00:14:11.000That is not a command at all, anywhere within the scripture.
00:14:14.000It's such a weaponized argument that they will make.
00:14:17.000Clearly, our obligation towards the poor, towards the traveler, these are individual moral requirements upon us.
00:14:27.000We have to care for travelers, we have to care for the vulnerable.
00:14:31.000It is very mendacious when, let's just say it, third worlds, people who frankly usually despise Christianity, when they try to weaponize this and say, actually, this is what you have to structure your.
00:15:00.000When you talk about love your neighbor as yourself, how am I supposed to love my fellow American, my neighbor in this country, if I'm just opening the borders to any third world nation?
00:15:09.000Opening the borders or allowing criminals to prey on them?
00:15:12.000I always find it very important, for example, in In the Bible, Jesus speaks to Roman legionaries, and he doesn't tell them they should lay down their arms, they should quit their jobs.
00:15:23.000He tells them, don't oppress the people.
00:16:39.000We've all been told to eat fruits and vegetables forever, but nobody really explained why.
00:16:45.000What if I told you that plants have their own nutrition and that it might be better for you than a lot of processed stuff we've added?
00:16:51.000If nutrition feels overwhelming, it helps to take a step back and zoom out.
00:16:56.000When you eat whole foods, you're getting what's called phytonutrients.

00:17:57.000All right, Sean Davis, CEO of The Federalist, co founder of The Federalist, and uh, Ex writer extraordinaire, you have been cracking me up, Sean, because you are just, I mean, you're just letting it rip right now.
00:18:11.000And you're reacting to what happened in New York, the DSA sweep, and you've got some spicy takes.
00:18:19.000But I'll just let you say, what is your take?
00:18:23.000Yeah, my take is when you import a bunch of retarded foreign communists into your country and let them vote, slowly over time, they're going to take over your country.
00:18:32.000And they're starting with New York City.
00:18:36.000If you go back a year and you look at Mamdani's election, it was not New Yorkers who were voting for him.
00:18:43.000It was people who had immigrated here who were voting for him.
00:18:46.000The actual New Yorkers, the people who were born in and grew up in New York, they wanted someone else.
00:18:51.000They wanted another actual New Yorker.
00:18:54.000So I feel like New York is a microcosm, something of an omen, a vision into our future of what will happen if we continue to allow unchecked foreign migration into the country and allow them to take over our elections.
00:19:09.000Because the reality is, when they come here, they don't assimilate anymore.
00:19:13.000They may have at one time, but they don't anymore.
00:19:15.000They find their home communities here in the US.
00:19:18.000They keep their language, they keep their culture, they keep their customs, and they vote together as a block.
00:19:41.000I saw, I can't remember who said it, but a tweet.
00:19:43.000This is my last day voting as a Democrat in New York because I'm so upset by the direction the party has gone.
00:19:49.000And I know you're rolling your eyes, I'm rolling my eyes.
00:19:52.000All we can think is every single thing the Democrat Party has done for the past 50 years, essentially, has been attempting to bring this about.
00:20:02.000You have decided to bring in the third world.
00:20:04.000Did you think you were not bringing in third world political ideologies, which is going to include anti Americanism, anti capitalism, anti private property, anti Semitism, anti white people?
00:20:17.000That was all brought in, that all existed 50 years ago.
00:20:20.000What did you think was going to happen?
00:20:23.000I watched Dan Goldman, who was this actual nephew baby who lost his primary.
00:20:31.000He's an heir to, I think, a jeans fortune that his grandparents earned, bought himself a seat in Congress and thought that he could protect himself by being super duper anti Trump all the time, no matter how deranged and delusional it was, and by just voting for, again, unchecked mass immigration.
00:20:49.000And the problem that I think these Democrats are starting to realize they have is that.
00:20:55.000When they allowed all these people in, they thought these people would stay kept.
00:20:59.000They thought that these immigrants coming in would understand that they're just very small clients within the Democrat Party.
00:21:07.000They were there to vote with the coalition, they weren't there to make decisions for it or lead for it.
00:21:11.000And so you have Goldman there, who has been sponsoring and pushing this stuff all the time, suddenly shocked to learn that, wow, all these people we brought over here because we thought they would be helpful with the Democrat Party, they actually want to be in charge now.
00:21:25.000And that's not how this was supposed to work.
00:21:27.000Supposed to understand that we were going to get to be in charge and they were just going to be our little pets.
00:21:33.000And so it's just a fascinating thing to watch among the Democrat establishment to now, they're basically Dr. Frankenstein and they're realizing that their monster is more powerful than they are and they don't know what to do about it.
00:21:46.000There's a tweet here from Stephen Miller who I know, Sean, you and I both have an admiration for.
00:21:54.000He tweeted, I said, half of all college graduates in New York City.
00:21:58.000Are immigrants or from immigrant households.
00:22:00.000So when observers say college grads in New York City are embracing communism, this is not a homegrown phenomenon.
00:22:07.000And he points that out because people have tried to say if you look at the demographics in New York, it was young people, college graduates, they were the ones who were driving the communist thing.
00:22:17.000It's not the traditional Hispanic working class that's been the bedrock of the Democrat Party there.
00:22:24.000And so people are saying, well, actually, no, this is just white liberals who are driving this all.
00:22:40.000And we have imported their grudges, their tribalism, and their backwards ways.
00:22:45.000That's a fact when you look at New York City.
00:22:48.000And these are the chickens coming home to roost.
00:22:51.000And yeah, this is another point that a lot of people are making they were willing to stand by with all the anti white bias, all the anti white racism.
00:23:16.000Nobody should be excited that this is happening in New York, which should be America's greatest city, the city that gave us Donald Trump, right?
00:23:25.000This is a terrible, terrible omen that portends terrible, terrible things for the country in years to come.
00:23:52.000Well, I actually think our solutions are very simple and easy.
00:23:57.000The people who came over here and lied when they took the oath of citizenship, people who have dual loyalties, people who are not loyal to America, who reject everything we believe in, they need to be denaturalized and removed.
00:24:30.000And then number two, you just close the border.
00:24:33.000And I don't feel I'm being unreasonable when I say, you know what, let's close the border for, I don't know, 50 years and let's see what happens.
00:24:41.000Let's see what happens to our country when we say, you know what, this country is just for Americans.
00:24:46.000It is for, as the founder said, our posterity, which means our children, our descendants.
00:24:54.000So, I don't think it's a difficult problem.
00:24:59.000You round up the people who are communist subversives and you send them all back, and then you stop letting people in.
00:25:05.000Now, the problem is that actually takes a fair amount of courage and spine and testicular fortitude, which sadly is an endangered species in Washington, D.C. Because between the two parties, the Democrats are just all in on the invasion, and then the Republicans are largely a bunch of cowards with a few exceptions.
00:25:24.000So, what we need is actually a steel infusion into the spines of Republican members, or they need to be sent packing as well.
00:25:32.000So, it's a simple solution mechanically.
00:25:37.000Getting Republicans who actually have balls in the spine is the difficult thing we have to face right now.
00:25:43.000I mean, and when I love this idea, though, because a lot of these people, there's three of them, are probably going to be heading to Congress, right?
00:26:12.000And the whole, just to make sure I'm being clear about this idea, it's saying, you know, denaturalize and deport them using the Immigration Nationality Act and Communist Control Act of 1954.
00:26:25.000They're completely within their rights to do this.
00:26:26.000It will create a national scandal that will force mainstream Democrats to defend these radical communists, which they do not want to do.
00:26:35.000Most importantly, it sets a precedent and severely hampers the long term plans of the DSA communist left, which, by the way, Politico had an article this morning saying they're coming for 2028.
00:26:45.000Do you think the country could handle this national scandal of denaturalizing and deporting an incoming congressman?
00:26:53.000I don't think it's whether the country politically can handle it.
00:26:56.000If you have gangrene in one of your limbs, can you handle allowing the gangrene to metastasize and take your whole body?
00:27:21.000And we have allowed our country now to be so taken over by this that now the entire body is at risk.
00:27:28.000And so we have to make the decision do we want the body to die or do we want to do the hard and maybe painful things that have to be done to save the body politic?
00:27:43.000And that means doing things like sometimes you have to.
00:27:46.000To cut off the gangrene limbs, if you want to save the body.
00:27:49.000I'm thinking right now of Hassan Piker, a man who has called for capitalist blood in the street, who was born in the United States and then was raised in Turkey and now is coming back and he's pushing a lot of this garbage.
00:28:02.000He's called for the death of conservatives.
00:29:00.000And I think everybody should throw their whole hearts into it and celebrate this country's 250th.
00:29:05.000But if you look when that happened, it was at a time when we had approximately the lowest in history number of foreign born people living in this country.
00:29:16.000And there was a reason the country felt more united, there was a reason the country felt more cohesive.
00:29:23.000And this is what we've done to ourselves since basically the 1980s.
00:29:41.000Since 76, in those 50 years, we probably murdered conservatively 60 million American babies.
00:29:48.000So not only did we import the third world and import in the rest of the world's religion and customs and cultures and languages.
00:29:56.000We started killing our own people in mass.
00:30:00.000And so, of course, we're a transformed country now.
00:30:02.000We are absolutely not the country that we were in 1976 or 1986 or even 1996 or even 2001.
00:30:10.000I mean, even after 9 11, everyone understood how awful that was Democrat and Republican.
00:30:18.000Now, that detente didn't last all that long, but we were all united and understanding this was bad and you can't have something in this country.
00:30:27.000We now have people in the Democrat Party saying America deserved it.
00:30:31.000So, we're not the same country, and it's not something that happened accidentally.
00:30:36.000It was a very deliberate subversion of our culture and our history.
00:30:40.000It happens through immigration, through mass importation, and it also happened through education, through the university system, where we have university professors, many of whom are literal terrorists who were put in prison for bombing places like the Capitol.
00:30:56.000We have those people telling people, telling students, America is uniquely bad, the nation that ended slavery, by the way, a human institution for thousands of years.
00:31:05.000The nation that ended that is actually bad because it tolerated it for a very small amount of time.
00:31:11.000So, the message we have been having crammed into our heads for 50 years is that America's bad.
00:31:20.000And if you disagree with that, you're a racist xenophobe.
00:31:23.000And then we act shocked that somehow we are in a completely transformed, radically different country where half the country hates it, half the country wants to dissolve it, and the other half is left wondering how the heck did we get here.
00:31:35.000Yeah, I think we've stopped wondering how we got here.
00:32:32.000But here's the thing net zero immigration moratorium would be a huge boon to the country.
00:32:38.000It would give time for us to get our house in order again, to get Culturally assimilated again to digest this huge meal that we have been forced to take over the last 40 or 50 years.
00:32:49.000Now, we had two Supreme Court decisions that kind of address some of these issues.
00:32:54.000We were wondering in part one of the show here earlier on whether you think this is a good omen for birthright citizenship or a bad omen.
00:33:03.000Do you feel like the Roberts Court is basically saying, hey, we're going to see, look at, we're giving you some wins on immigration basically to pull the rug out from under you on birthright?
00:33:12.000What do you think is going to happen, Sean?
00:33:14.000I'm not expecting a favorable outcome on birthplace citizenship.
00:33:21.000To me, right now, a miraculous victory would look something like the Supreme Court saying that Congress has to define what's subject to the jurisdiction of means under the 14th Amendment, which would mean that they would punt to Congress the authority to say whether aliens who just happen to be born here because their parents were here for five seconds are citizens.
00:33:44.000That would be a legislative political decision.
00:33:53.000I'm expecting a 7 2, maybe a 6 3 decision that says if you're a Chinese communist who comes over here pregnant for the sole purpose of dropping a baby so it becomes American and can maybe one day be president, obviously that's what we fought the Civil War for.
00:34:11.000I expect that to be the John Roberts decision.
00:34:13.000I expect to see from John Roberts a decision that says America fought the Civil War.
00:34:19.000So, Chinese communist birth tourists could come in and drop babies that are magically citizens and can run for president one day.
00:34:25.000I'm very worried that is the ruling we're going to get.
00:34:28.000But I was talking to Andrew before the show.
00:34:30.000I would consider even that, as crazy as it sounds, an improvement over what the status quo was.
00:34:35.000Because we've had for a century, it just treated as the unquestioned default of law that we have total birthright citizenship.
00:34:43.000We didn't even have a ruling explicitly saying it.
00:34:47.000Once, well, first of all, we've had an administration try it.
00:34:51.000And now, even if the ruling is against us, we now have a litmus test.
00:34:55.000Just like for decades, we were picking judges and we could basically say, will this be a judge who would help us overturn Roe v. Wade, which we eventually did?
00:35:04.000Now we can say, are these judges that we're putting on courts, district courts, appeals courts, eventually the Supreme Court, are they someone who will help us overturn the birthright citizenship travesty?
00:35:14.000We need to take that step to get there.
00:35:17.000Even if we don't get there all at once now, we will be getting closer to an outcome that we need to have happen.
00:39:45.000But it was recurring and it just kept coming back.
00:39:47.000And I kept telling my wife, someone should do something about this.
00:39:50.000Didn't think that someone was going to be us, but for the sake of time and the story, fast forward about a year from that.
00:39:58.000First conversation of someone should do this.
00:40:00.000I was getting ready for the church I was working at, and it was a Sunday morning.
00:40:04.000We had just had our first baby boy, he was about six weeks old, and I started thinking about it again.
00:40:10.000I heard the voice of the Lord, and He said, You do it.
00:40:13.000And it was like a Saul Damascus Road type moment for me.
00:40:19.000And I came out of the bathroom and I went to my wife, Coralie, and I said, I think God just told me to start a meat company, even though He said, You do it, but I just paraphrased as we do.
00:40:31.000Thinking she was going to look at me and say, We just had a baby.
00:41:40.000So we started in 2018, like I said, selling meat in parking lots.
00:41:44.000But we learned in 2019 that there was no country of origin labeling law for beef or for pork in the U.S., and that most of what the consumer is buying, most of what's being sold in the grocery stores and being sold in the U.S., is actually coming from Mexico, South America, other countries, and with no transparency of labeling.
00:42:05.000And when we learned that, we drew a hard line in the sand.
00:42:08.000And said, we're only going to support American farms and ranches, we're only going to source domestically from the U.s and uh.
00:42:59.000We're just the vessel that He's using.
00:43:02.000But it's been an amazing thing to see the amount of jobs that we've been able to create across the country for Americans and the amount of farms and ranches that we're able to support through what we do at Good Rancher.
00:43:16.000Yeah, that's kind of the way I look at it.
00:43:17.000Not only do you provide a great product, I mean, when you get these boxes, just I just want to say they're beautiful.
00:43:26.000The meat comes like fresh and it's frozen.
00:43:29.000And it's like, so it's a great product.
00:43:31.000And by the way, the product has become exceptional.
00:43:35.000Like you have improved the product over the years so, so much.
00:43:38.000Because I remember when you were first starting out, there was, you know, you were learning the business, right?
00:43:43.000But what the real beauty of this is not only great Christian family, patriotic family, and we just love the Smell family, but it's, You're an advocate now for America's ranchers.
00:44:10.000But, uh, just last week I spoke at a national, um, cattlemen convention in South Dakota, in Rapid City, South Dakota.
00:44:17.000And I'm like, um, but it was, it was, it was amazing.
00:44:20.000There were hundreds of, of local, independent farmers and ranchers and, um, And, you know, good ranchers exist to connect the American family to the American farm.
00:44:31.000And right now we're being just flooded with imported beef, flooded with imported meat.
00:44:58.000And, but the, Fruits, vegetables, all of that stuff has to say where it came from.
00:45:04.000But the beef and the pork that you buy in the grocery store does not have to say where it's coming from.
00:45:11.000That's the way there's no country of origin label.
00:45:13.000I guess they probably just say maybe they only have to say where they packaged it, or did they even have to say that?
00:45:17.000Yeah, it just, whatever USDA plant it gets packaged in, it gets a USDA seal, and most people just assume, oh, this must be local, or this must be coming from here.
00:45:31.000It's going to be Tyson or whatever, and they just said, we'll bring the beef to.
00:45:36.000I know we have a restaurant in Sioux Falls, I know.
00:45:38.000So, yeah, everyone is importing beef, packaging it, and selling it to consumers, except for the ranchers.
00:45:44.000And we're going to take that up with USDA sec Brooke Rollins because that's obscene.
00:45:52.000Good conversation is about respect, it's how we create a space where people are able to share their ideas and be heard.
00:45:59.000Charlie knew that, Turning Point still knows that.
00:46:01.000And TikTok has always strived to build the kind of place that thrives on respectful connection.
00:46:06.000Where curiosity fuels connection and we can share what's on our minds and learn from each other.
00:46:11.000When ideas meet respect, good things happen.
00:46:13.000On TikTok, you can find a mechanic explaining the why behind a problem most of us wouldn't even know how to name, or a father sharing a lifetime of knowledge with his viewers, viewers who listen, discuss, and then they respond.
00:46:25.000TikTok turns connection into community through small acts of understanding.
00:46:29.000You can feel it in the comments, in the thank you from a stranger halfway across the world.
00:46:33.000TikTok is a place where respect opens the door for discussion and discussion.
00:46:42.000GoodRanchers.com, American Meat Delivered.

00:47:01.000So, you get to like, when you buy your box, you put your box together, you throw on an extra.
00:47:06.000Yeah, right now you can pick either ground beef, bacon, chicken breast, or chicken nuggets to receive free for the life of your subscription.
00:48:24.000I mean, they do it because they love it, they're passionate about it.
00:48:28.000I mean, I've spent so much time with these families that I mean, they almost every time start tearing up because they're so passionate about these animals that they raise and this land that they're protecting.
00:48:42.000And it's just, I mean, the cost of fuel is up, the cost of feed is up, the cost of everything is up.
00:48:51.000Like I said, almost 4 billion pounds of beef being imported with no transparency.
00:48:56.000If the American consumer went to the grocery store and saw a ribeye that said, born, raised, and harvested in the USA, and one that said, born and raised in Mexico, processed in the USA, they would pick that.
00:51:18.000They're aging out and they're going, I can just sell off everything right now and I might as well make hay while the sun is shining because they don't see much light at the end of the tunnel.
00:51:33.000But the problem is, when producers get to the point where they're leaving the industry, we're going to look up and we're not going to be able to raise enough food to feed our nation.
00:51:47.000And you can look through the history of time.
00:51:50.000Anytime another country is dependent on it, A different nation.
00:52:02.000But it's also, there are geopolitical reasons, there's pride of our own country reasons, but it's also the quality of people, the backbone of this nation, the spirit of its people.
00:52:17.000How do we continue on another 250 years if we don't have a robust ranching and farming community, the bedrock of so many?
00:52:24.000Small communities across the country are ranchers and farmers.
00:53:32.000That isn't, we eradicated the screwworm 50 years ago in the U.S., but with all of the import that we've.
00:53:40.000Is it the importing product or is it the mass migration at the southern border that brought it back?
00:53:44.000Because they had it blocked below Panama, is what I remember it was.
00:53:47.000And then the Darien Gap, everyone came over the Darien Gap, and now the fly is across the Darien Gap, too.
00:53:52.000Yeah, because, again, because we're importing so much beef crossing across Mexico, because another way the law reads, again, there's so much.
00:54:03.000There's so much convolution in all of it.
00:54:06.000But even with the product of USA, the way that it was is beef can be raised in Mexico and then they can just cross them over the line into the US and then get product of USA on them.
00:55:03.000Angel Studios has a new feature film that is a must see, and I really, really mean it.
00:55:08.000This film tells the untold story of George Washington before he was a general or a president.

00:57:13.000All right, I want to welcome in our next guest, Dr. Matt Spaulding.
00:57:16.000He's the Vice President of Washington Operations at Hillsdale College.
00:57:19.000And we are going to be discussing a very important topic that has become the topic.
00:58:36.000That document by which we first declared our independence from Great Britain announced us as a people.
00:58:45.000And as a people, we have certain things we argue that are self evident, that are known to be true, and that's a basis upon which this regime is created.
00:58:56.000Well, that has an implication for, indeed, I would argue, actually defines the baseline of what an American is.
00:59:12.000We share ancestors over time in most cases.
00:59:16.000But there's this other additive that makes us a people, which is a dedication to these principles.
00:59:21.000That's what America makes America unique and exceptional and different, which tells me that anybody in theory, in principle, could be an American.
00:59:31.000This was Ronald Reagan's old line you can't become French, but anyone could be an American.
00:59:37.000But it also tells me another thing immigrants who come here must do so based on consent.
00:59:44.000That is inconsistent with our first principles.
00:59:47.000So, there is a niche sense of what an American is.
00:59:51.000I think today we've been so shaped by kind of a subjective, personal view of everything that we think that citizenship is whatever you want it to be.
01:00:02.000We're a regime, a regime dedicated to these universal ideas, which are beautiful, but it's a particular regime based on the rule of law.
01:00:11.000And those are laws to which we consent based on those universal principles.
01:00:16.000An American is someone who instinctively loves their country, who grows up and comes to know it and knows it in certain fundamentals and basic characteristics.
01:00:26.000But more so, as a free government, as a self governing people, a citizen is someone who comes to reflect about the importance of those things.
01:00:35.000What are the rights that are protected?
01:00:38.000Why should we respect the rights of other people?
01:00:40.000The rule of law, why is that important?
01:00:44.000Those are the components that really matter and that we learn, we come to reflect about and learn them.
01:00:50.000And form us more so than merely just a piece of paper, merely where you happen to be born, that make us into citizens as opposed, say, to subjects.
01:01:08.000I was looking at John Jay, so our first Chief Justice of the USA, because this question is.
01:01:15.000I hear what you're saying, Dr. Spalding.
01:01:17.000I do, and I agree with all of it, just to be clear.
01:01:19.000But this question gets really tricky when we start talking about.
01:01:26.000The heritage of certain Americans, right?
01:01:28.000So, this is something I saw from John Jay, first Chief Justice of the USA.
01:01:31.000He says Providence has been pleased to give this one connected country to one united people, a people descended from the same ancestors, speaking the same language, professing the same religion, attached to the same principles of government, very similar in their manners and customs.
01:01:47.000This country and this people seem to have been made for each other.
01:01:52.000I can't say that now because we don't come from the same.
01:02:12.000And I think that there are some very complicated aspects, religion being one of them, ancestors being another.
01:02:19.000Long experience because of so much of our population, growing amounts have become here so quickly and fast, they've not had time to assimilate.
01:02:29.000Those are deep problems, don't get me wrong.
01:02:32.000Deeply concerned about them, and especially if they're coming from cultures that are anathema or very unfriendly to Republican government, the rule of law is very dangerous.
01:02:43.000Having said that, the question still is how do you make people Americans?
01:02:47.000And this is a question not only for immigrants, but for our own children and those that are raised here to become active citizens.
01:02:56.000And we have to figure out ways to encourage formation.
01:03:41.000We are not a people based on the fact that we can or cannot trace our lineage back to the Mayflower or to George III.
01:03:50.000There's something different about America, which means those questions you've raised are harder.
01:03:55.000Granted, Tocqueville recognized this in Democracy in America.
01:04:00.000But there's something about the liberty that is created by the Declaration that comes forward in the Constitution.
01:04:07.000There's something about the joining of local groups and the diversity in America that actually creates a certain type of citizen, an entrepreneurial citizen, a citizen that wants to create things and build things.
01:04:25.000So I think that bulwark, if we can protect that and keep that, and then allow for the continue to protect religious liberty and all the other institutions who create the kinds of things you're referring to.
01:04:38.000That strikes me as a good recipe for rebuilding citizenship.
01:04:44.000I think we can't just lament the fact that things have changed, even though they have, and I do lament them.
01:04:50.000We can't throw in the towel based on that.
01:04:51.000The question is, how do we rebuild it?
01:04:54.000And I think there we actually know the ingredients.
01:05:13.000Have done what kind of because it strikes me as we've got people now that are going to be coming to Congress that are advocating for the eradication of Western civilization.
01:05:24.000I don't want them in my country, if I'm just being very blunt.
01:05:27.000What would the founders have thought about somebody like that?
01:05:30.000Well, I can tell you one thing the founders were very clear on is that any someone who's coming to America and they discuss this in their concerns about immigration, if they're coming from a place, another country, another form of government, and advocating a different form of government, say socialism or communism.
01:05:48.000That rules them out as for American citizenship.
01:05:51.000So there are lines here that, if they're being crossed, are deep fundamental problems.
01:05:58.000Of course, the additional problem there is we're teaching more of that in our schools directly, but there are lines that can't be crossed here, and we seem to be crossing them, and that's very problematic.
01:06:10.000And I want to flag because we mentioned the J tweet, but there's other quotes from the founders.
01:06:15.000Alexander Hamilton, himself not born in America.
01:06:17.000I believe he was born in the Caribbean.
01:06:20.000And he says, The safety of a republic.
01:06:22.000Depends essentially on the energy of a common national sentiment, on a uniformity of principles and habits, on the exemption of the citizens from foreign bias and prejudice, on that love of country invariably found in those closely connected with birth, education, and family.
01:06:40.000We need to have people aligned together.
01:06:42.000And part of this, I think, it's not even just that they have to like our form of government.
01:06:46.000I think it's almost, he's saying we have a limit on how quickly we can bring people into this country.
01:06:52.000We've talked about the need for maybe a.
01:06:55.000A pause just to digest all the people who've come here.
01:06:57.000I think those are all legitimate possibilities.
01:07:00.000A pause, given that we're being overwhelmed by it.
01:07:03.000But what it points to, and that's a great quote, is there's an underlying thing that has to be done.
01:07:09.000Someone can't merely come here, pass a test, and be an American.
01:07:12.000You have to become an American, you have to be made into a citizen.
01:07:48.000CharlieKirkStore.com, CharlieKirkStore.com, or you can just go to CharlieKirk.com and we'll have the link there as well and you can get to it.
01:07:55.000But it's special edition America 250 merch.
01:07:59.000And if you watch Thought Crime, yes, that is Russ.
01:08:54.000We can't even get the Save America Act passed when we have 53 votes in the Senate, which would ensure American citizens are the ones voting.
01:10:24.000Here's where I went from a legal point of view.
01:10:27.000I would find a case that's not about what someone said, something that can be argued about, and they can, oh, they didn't really mean that.
01:10:34.000I would find a case, which there are out there, where someone is, say, collecting weapons, where someone was trying to coordinate the bombing, say, of the president at the recent fight.
01:11:27.000The District of Columbia is not a state.
01:11:28.000It is completely under the subject of the power of the Congress, but also the executive of the country has lots of authority and could actually exert national leadership and take over the city to prevent that from happening.
01:11:46.000Then you have this question about what's going on in New York.
01:11:50.000The Constitution in Article Section 4, Article 4, Section 4 of Article 4 is something called the Republican Guarantee Clause.
01:11:59.000The Constitution says that every state will have a Republican form of government.
01:12:07.000If they so lift their finger to try to change the form or advocate change in the form, I think that triggers some new authorities, which creates some very interesting options.
01:12:19.000I think we need to do some of these things.
01:12:20.000We need to be very aggressive about it.
01:12:22.000But I will advocate and strenuously underscore we need to do it in a way that will create some wins and pick our cases and pick fights.
01:12:34.000Because there's nothing worse than picking a fight and you just completely lose it and things are actually worse.
01:12:39.000Because they'll respond on free speech.
01:12:43.000They'll respond on perhaps even religious protections.
01:12:48.000And where there's a clear threat, a clear and present danger, in an actual case of potential terrorism, that changes matters.
01:12:58.000The president can protect the nation's capital as a matter of national security, cannot be run by a socialist.
01:13:06.000That's a different question than say, oh, they just advocated bad ideas, which we think are at anathema.
01:13:11.000So I just, you know, yes, I agree, but be careful at how we do it because these are various dangerous grounds and we've got to go forward in a way that will win these cases.
01:13:47.000This is not, this is no longer the kind of progressive liberalism, you know, arguing about whether they have values and this kind of thing.
01:13:57.000We are now people being elected who actively advocate opposing the government, overthrowing our system of government, and other radical steps that.
01:14:20.000These are people who believe something and are dedicated and willing to die for it.
01:14:24.000We've got to draw those lines and make those lines very clear because as soon as this opens the door, California, other states are going to go this way.
01:14:32.000And pretty soon we've got much more of a problem.
01:14:36.000And if you get to a point where you're like France or England, it's pretty hard to save that country.
01:14:42.000And so, listen, in no particular order, we need to stop.
01:14:53.000We need to redouble our efforts on all these fronts.
01:14:57.000And by the way, I am completely behind what Charlie said that on the macro, Islam is incompatible with the United States and our form of government.
