00:00:00.000 We are facing a fundamental shift in how our country works as we wait with bated breath to see
00:00:07.960 how the Supreme Court will rule on birthright citizenship. Now, Donald Trump has made the
00:00:13.680 argument the 14th Amendment was meant for the babies of slaves, not for wealthy Chinese people.
00:00:20.360 And it is very likely the Supreme Court will overturn birthright citizenship, something that's
00:00:26.900 been around for over a hundred years. Now, the arguments are that when the 14th Amendment was
00:00:32.040 passed, it was supposed to make former slaves citizens. That's it. It was not meant to give
00:00:40.400 foreigners citizenship in the United States if it just so happened that their parents brought
00:00:45.020 them here and they were born. Since then, with this policy, it has been exploited to such an
00:00:51.300 extreme degree that Chinese birth tourism has resulted in arrests. There are individuals that
00:00:57.860 will fly to small U.S. territory islands, give birth, and then go back to China so that kid who 0.99
00:01:04.320 grows up can run for president in this country. There is no reality where the founding fathers
00:01:10.320 wanted this to be the case. But times change. At the time of the 14th Amendment, we didn't have
00:01:17.780 planes. So immigration was actually somewhat difficult and communities were rather small.
00:01:23.120 They knew who each other were. Someone might show up and they'd say, you're not a citizen
00:01:28.120 of this country. What did that really mean? Well, there was no border barrier. You'd literally ride
00:01:34.300 on horseback from Mexico into a town in the United States. And it was just, you're a foreigner here. 0.95
00:01:39.160 You're not an American, but they would trade and do whatever. As populations expanded,
00:01:43.400 vehicles were invented, became easier to travel, border barriers were enacted to protect the
00:01:49.840 economies and the cultures from people who are not American citizens. So this question has been
00:01:56.340 massive for some time, and now it seems things may change. Now I've got for you the media responses
00:02:04.240 and what likely will happen and why, starting with Donald Trump's statement as the principal
00:02:09.500 argument. But let's take a deep dive into the 14th Amendment to determine whether or not this
00:02:13.860 is the right way to go. And I'll say outright, my friends, it does not make sense that a Chinese 1.00
00:02:20.200 couple will fly to a U.S. island, give birth, fly back, and then 35 years later, that Chinese 1.00
00:02:27.700 Communist Party member can become president of the United States. Regardless of what your thoughts
00:02:33.620 are, something needs to change. So let's take a look at the news, my friends. Before we do,
00:02:38.920 we've got a great sponsor for you. It is Rumble Wallets. Head over to wallet.rumble.com and pick
00:02:44.760 up the Rumble Wallet now. This is a non-custodial crypto wallet app. Here's how it works. It's got

00:03:08.620 they can't do it with this app. Rumble will have no ability to ban you. That's what it means.
00:03:13.480 Censorship is feared to be coming back, my friends. We just saw this basketball player
00:03:18.780 for the NBA. He had his contract waived for speaking about his faith in Christ and his
00:03:24.660 concerns about Pride Month. They gave him the boot. Woke isn't gone completely. And if it comes
00:03:29.500 back, censorship and debanking will come back, too. So check out wallet.rumble.com now. But let's
00:03:35.160 jump into the news, my friends, from the post-millennial. Trump says birthright citizenship
00:03:38.900 was meant for the babies of slaves, not rich people from China. Ahead of Wednesday's Supreme
00:03:46.340 Court hearing regarding a challenge to President Trump's executive order ending birthright citizenship
00:03:51.220 for illegal immigrants or those in the country only temporarily, Trump said the concept was
00:03:55.600 meant for the children of slaves. I'm going to go and say Trump is wrong. It wasn't even meant
00:04:00.120 for the children of slaves. It was meant for slaves. The children of American citizens are 0.99
00:04:06.500 U.S. citizens. Quote, birthright citizenship is not about rich people from China and the rest of
00:04:13.480 the world who want their children and hundreds of thousands more for pay to ridiculously become
00:04:18.800 citizens of the U.S. It is about the babies of slaves. We are the only country in the world that 0.70
00:04:24.680 dignifies this subject with even a discussion. Look at the dates of this long ago legislation.
00:04:30.060 The exact end of the Civil War. The world is getting rich selling citizenships to our country
00:04:35.060 while at the same time laughing at how stupid our U.S. court system has become. Tariffs. 1.00
00:04:39.980 Dumb judges and justices will not a great country make. Trump is correct. There are people around 0.99
00:04:48.040 the world selling U.S. citizenship. At the very least, shouldn't we get a cut? Right. If you want
00:04:54.060 to make the argument it should be allowed. Why are foreigners selling citizenship and we just sit 0.95
00:04:59.360 back and let them do it? That is pure exploitation, right? The case being heard at the Supreme Court
00:05:05.420 on Wednesday is Trump v. Barbara. The Trump admin has asked the court to weigh whether the executive
00:05:10.360 order, which was issued on Trump's first day back in office, complies with the Citizenship Clause of
00:05:15.660 the 14th Amendment. The petition to the court stated that the Citizenship Clause was adopted
00:05:20.160 to grant citizenship to newly freed slaves and their children, not to the children of temporary 0.80
00:05:25.380 visitors or illegal aliens, and that this court's earliest case interpreting the 14th Amendment
00:05:29.660 explicitly rejected the notion that anyone born in the U.S. territory, no matter the circumstances,
00:05:35.440 is automatically a citizen so long as he is subject to U.S. law. A case involving birthright
00:05:40.480 citizenship made before the Supreme Court in 2025, however, the Trump admin only asked the justices
00:05:45.360 to block lower court judges from issuing universal injunctions, blocking the order across the U.S. 0.79
00:05:51.500 The justices ruled in the Trump administration's favor. If the order is upheld by the Supreme Court,
00:05:57.140 it would apply to children born 30 days after issuance of the order. This is massive.
00:06:05.480 They're going to weigh in on Trump's birthright citizenship order this week. Here's what to know.
00:06:09.560 The case is a major test of a key pillar of Mr. Trump's immigration agenda,
00:06:12.960 and is the first in which the high court will weigh the legal merits of one of the president's
00:06:17.440 immigration policies. The citizenship clause states all persons born or naturalized in the
00:06:22.040 U.S. and subject to the jurisdiction thereof are citizens of the United States and of the state
00:06:26.080 wherein they reside. This is, my friends, the perfect example of originalism versus textualism.
00:06:33.300 Is the Constitution held to the intent of the writers of the amendments in the Constitution,
00:06:39.440 or do we just read what the words say today and apply them? Do you have any idea how psychotic
00:06:46.740 you would have to be to apply law based on what the text means today? I wonder. Let me do this.
00:06:57.300 Let me provide for me the text of the Magna Carta in proper old English as it was written.
00:07:08.080 Now, I'm sure it was close enough, but I'm just curious.
00:07:12.020 I'm just curious.
00:07:13.040 Maybe I'm wrong about this one.
00:07:14.060 It's off the top of my head.
00:07:16.020 Because the issue is, if you actually listen to someone speak old English, you would not.
00:07:22.480 Oh, my God.
00:07:23.900 Wait, what?
00:07:24.820 I can't read that.
00:07:27.100 Wow.
00:07:28.460 The full. 0.99
00:07:29.120 Holy crap. 0.99
00:07:29.660 Is this true? 0.99
00:07:32.700 Let's see.
00:07:33.380 Latin manuscripts, four original 1215 exemplars are known to exist today.
00:07:38.280 Here's the authentic 1215 Latin text.
00:07:41.000 It wasn't English.
00:07:42.320 It's just all in Latin.
00:07:43.980 Wow.
00:07:45.140 So the funny thing is there have been many comments made about how English in the 1300s
00:07:50.780 is incomprehensible.
00:07:52.440 Let's do this.
00:07:53.300 Provide for me some common phrases in 1300s English.
00:07:59.360 Imagine if we applied the law like this.
00:08:02.160 Let's see what we got.
00:08:03.380 Here's, here's, here's, uh, uh, let's see. Gramercy. Hergifo? Hergifo? Hergifo? Hergifo? What? What? Uh, write me a sentence. Let's, let's get it. We did this on Timcast IRL. It was really, really funny. I, I, I gotta, I gotta give you this example, my friends.
00:08:22.340 okay uh what does that mean uh what i don't know what that means oh the king came with his ship
00:08:35.040 okay here's one uh what's the pronunciation on this uh wait we gerdina in girdigam
00:08:43.980 listen we have heard the glory of the spear danes kings in days of yore 0.99
00:08:50.940 I am well I am healthy this is insane old English looking sounds quite different from 0.99
00:08:58.340 modern English imagine if we actually looked at that and said no no it's not about the intent
00:09:03.360 it's about what it literally says we'd be like those aren't words so here's what we have
00:09:08.380 the intent of the founding fathers of the 14th amendment was specifically
00:09:12.320 that slaves had just been freed and they were like listen all these people if you're born here
00:09:19.300 you're a citizen. Done, okay? Let me actually pull up the 14th Amendment. It says, all persons born
00:09:24.640 or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof are citizens of the
00:09:28.040 United States and the state wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall
00:09:31.480 abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States, nor shall any state deprive
00:09:34.860 any person of life, liberty, or property without due process of law, nor deny to any person within
00:09:39.960 its jurisdiction the equal protections of the laws. Here's the issue. Civil war is over.
00:09:44.840 they passed the 13th amendment you may not have slaves unless they committed a crime
00:09:51.240 did you know that slavery is actually totally legal in the united states a lot of people
00:09:56.060 understand this let me let me let me show you the 13th amendment states if it would load
00:10:01.420 it's not loading what if i just do this manually and go 13 can you load that way
00:10:06.420 seriously they really don't want me reading the 13th amendment let's uh let's
00:10:12.180 let's just get it manually oh that's interesting there we go there we go oh it loaded took 27
00:10:20.800 years neither slavery nor involuntary servitude except as punishment for a crime wherever the
00:10:25.880 party shall have been duly convicted shall exist within the united states or any place subject to
00:10:30.000 their jurisdiction indeed my friends we are allowed to have slavery listen this isn't really
00:10:35.260 important except as punishment for a crime meaning you commit a crime the court can literally say
00:10:42.120 you're a slave now. Seriously, slavery can be implemented as a penalty for serious crimes.
00:10:48.580 That's just true. Kanye West said we should abolish that. And everyone thought he was
00:10:53.360 saying to bring slavery back when he was actually saying, no, there should be no instance where
00:10:57.100 slavery is allowed. So here's what happens. We pass the third amendment. No more slaves,
00:11:02.460 unless they're criminals. Then we say, now, hold on. What do we do with all of these people?
00:11:07.520 they are citizens if they were born here or naturalized. That meant some of these people
00:11:13.800 were not. Some of the slaves who were brought there more recently would not have been. I don't
00:11:19.000 think there was people coming at the time. Largely at this point, the slaves were all descendants.
00:11:25.140 And so they said, look, you guys were slaves. You're not slaves anymore. You're free. And all
00:11:30.300 of you who were born here or naturalized, you're citizens now, OK? It was descriptive, not
00:11:36.080 prescriptive, meaning they were telling the people, excuse me, sir, were you born here?
00:11:41.460 OK, as of now, we're going to make sure you're a citizen.
00:11:43.960 They didn't mean it to be OK.
00:11:46.380 And now 10 years from now, if someone's born here, they're a citizen, too.
00:11:48.780 It was literally a corrective action because of slavery.
00:11:52.480 Well, here we go, my friends.
00:11:54.820 What did these senators say about the 14th Amendment?
00:11:57.940 The most commonly referenced statement of the topic comes from Senator Jacob M. Howard,
00:12:02.140 the principal author who introduced the citizenship clause of the 14th Amendment,
00:12:05.640 who wrote, this will not, of course, include persons born in the United States who are
00:12:10.980 foreigners, aliens, who belong to the families of ambassadors or foreign ministers accredited
00:12:16.160 to the government of the United States, but will include every other class of persons.
00:12:21.240 Now, some have argued, he was saying, no, no, only foreign dignitaries.
00:12:25.420 If you're a tourist, because they didn't really have like tourists, but if you're visiting
00:12:28.880 and you have a kid, they're citizens.
00:12:30.680 No, I reject that argument.
00:12:33.520 They try to play the semantic game, and I don't think it matters because we're talking about
00:12:36.640 function, not form. So here's what it says. How do you write a sentence? Okay. Many people have
00:12:42.180 abandoned the Oxford comma, which is a big mistake. But as we can see here, you have several classes.
00:12:47.640 You have foreigners. You have aliens, the families of ambassadors or foreign ministers accredited to 0.99
00:12:53.960 the government of the United States. That's why it goes comma, comma, blah, blah, blah.
00:12:57.880 The argument from the people who claim this is not meant to include regular old tourists, children, they say, no, no, it means foreigners, aliens in the same go.
00:13:10.120 They're saying this is a description of one group of people, foreigners, aliens who belong to the families of ambassadors or ministers.
00:13:17.700 They are there.
00:13:18.500 The argument is he's not talking about different groups of people.
00:13:22.540 He is saying foreigners and aliens who belong to families of ambassadors and foreign ministers is one group and all other class of persons are included.
00:13:32.960 I reject that because it makes literally no sense.
00:13:35.780 Foreigners, aliens. 1.00
00:13:37.820 These are descriptive terms for people who are not from the country.
00:13:40.960 And illegal alien is the act is the proper statutory term for someone who is here illegally.
00:13:45.520 And foreigner could refer to someone here for a variety of reasons.
00:13:49.820 And who belong to the families of ambassadors.
00:13:52.540 or foreign ministers accredited to the government. These are different classes of people.
00:13:56.760 At least that makes the most functional sense. Otherwise, they're literally saying anyone who
00:14:02.480 comes here and gives birth, that person can run for president. Nobody would want that. 1.00
00:14:08.220 No one at the time thought it would make sense that a Hindu would have a kid in America and
00:14:13.500 then their Christian nation would be run by a Hindu. Sorry. And there's a lot of liberals who 0.99
00:14:18.140 say, this is never a Christian nation. You're wrong. Most of the colonies had a requirement.
00:14:23.440 You profess faith in a Christian God, some as specific as not Catholic, must be Protestant. 0.69
00:14:29.180 And they changed these not because of Islam or Hinduism or whatever. They changed it because
00:14:35.900 of Catholics and Protestants. They had blasphemy laws on the books. They did not believe the
00:14:42.580 country would ever be having large populations of Muslims or Jews, for that matter. There was a 1.00
00:14:48.400 small group of Jews in the United States at the time. Howard and other senators tied subject to
00:14:53.300 the jurisdiction to complete U.S. authority, meaning no primary allegiance to a foreign power.
00:14:59.480 They explicitly discussed exclusions for children of diplomats, ambassadors, and in Howard's words,
00:15:03.460 those born as foreigners or aliens. The point is this, my friends. Why would anyone, why would 1.00
00:15:10.800 literally anyone of a country with borders fighting for a union to be one country, then go to say,
00:15:18.440 yeah, but anybody can be a citizen. What was the point of fighting for a union if you then just say
00:15:22.960 our borders are open and anyone can be a citizen? It makes literally no sense. None whatsoever.
00:15:29.660 Well, here comes the media, my friends. Of course, all the news outlets are basically saying Trump
00:15:34.360 is wrong and we should allow Chinese babies to run for president. Look, if you're an American 1.00
00:15:38.540 person, you are born, let's say you have parents here, they've been here for 300 years, like your
00:15:44.920 family's been here for 300 years, and you were of Chinese descent, I got no beef. Your parents are 1.00
00:15:49.020 naturalized U.S. citizens. They came here, passed the test, became citizens. You were born, you're
00:15:54.300 a citizen, you can run for president. Totally okay. But if you are of Chinese Communist Party 0.94
00:15:59.460 authority, and your parents are here as tourists, and you go back to China to serve under the
00:16:06.360 Chinese Communist Party. You should not be allowed to run for president. In fact, I don't think
00:16:10.480 they're going to go far enough. They should retroactively revoke citizenship from all of 1.00
00:16:14.840 these birth tourists. Well, here we go. Babies are an afterthought, says NPR. Explain it to me.
00:16:21.460 Bruce Leslie is incensed at one dimension of the debate about birthright citizenship.
00:16:27.260 It's in the words birthright citizenship. This is about babies. During debate on the potential end
00:16:33.200 to the potential end of this.
00:16:36.500 Leslie heard about
00:16:37.080 administrative challenges.
00:16:38.860 The word child
00:16:39.520 does not cross their lips.
00:16:41.320 This is serious oversight.
00:16:42.480 This impacts every baby
00:16:43.460 born in America.
00:16:44.740 Right now,
00:16:45.220 when a baby is born in America,
00:16:46.240 hospital or birth center,
00:16:47.060 that baby is automatically
00:16:47.980 a citizen with immediate access
00:16:49.160 to a range of support and services.
00:16:51.160 Party women are eligible 1.00
00:16:51.800 for Medicaid, blah, blah, blah.
00:16:53.780 An estimated 300,000 babies
00:16:55.600 were born to parents
00:16:56.200 without legal status in 2023.
00:16:58.160 A change to birthright citizenship
00:16:59.560 would affect all children.
00:17:01.240 However, not just those
00:17:02.400 born to immigrant families. All parents would have to prove their own citizenship status 0.83
00:17:06.320 in a bureaucratic process that does not yet exist. Federal data show approximately 3.6 million babies
00:17:11.680 are born in the U.S. each year. Actually, actually, it's not that difficult. When your baby is born,
00:17:18.860 you fill out a form with your social, your name, your address, and you check a box saying,
00:17:22.980 I'm a citizen. It's that simple. All you got to do. I don't think you require any great proof.
00:17:27.980 And then what happens if they go, yeah, but what happens if these people lie?
00:17:31.840 That's fine.
00:17:32.680 If we find out you lied, we revoke your citizenship.
00:17:35.660 Doesn't matter how old you are.
00:17:37.120 Don't care.
00:17:38.100 You could be 30 and we could find out your parents lied and that's it.
00:17:43.040 You lose citizenship because here's the point. 0.99
00:17:45.540 If someone came here from a foreign country, from Guatemala or whatever, and you were born
00:17:51.180 here and they lie, you're going to have, we're going to say this is a citizen of your country
00:17:57.080 from born of individuals. And you know what people are going to say? That's really difficult.
00:18:00.800 Like with DACA, these people were brought here as children. What do they do now? They're 30 years 0.98
00:18:05.960 old. And I say I say this. So they've known their whole lives because they received DACA,
00:18:11.320 that they're not citizens. Why is that the problem of the United States? Guys, I sympathize with
00:18:18.840 these people. I do. But. You're arguing why someone doesn't just deserve to have someone
00:18:24.380 else's stuff. It makes no sense. Well, they were brought here illegally by their parents, 0.92
00:18:28.280 so they should receive U.S. citizenship entitlements. No. Why can't I then just
00:18:33.140 argue? It's not fair that I've lived my whole life in this country and I don't get to have
00:18:36.820 millions of dollars from that rich person. This is the reality they live in. Look, if you are not
00:18:41.500 a citizen and you're DACA, I'm sorry. There's no easy answer. You've known you've been here
00:18:49.500 illegally for some time. You are not entitled to other people's stuff. That's just it. Fill out
00:18:53.900 the paperwork, get citizenship the right way, and I'm totally for it. I am not a fan of DACA.
00:19:00.020 Well, wait, there's more. Here we go. Here's the New York Times with their awful article that's
00:19:05.300 incredibly hard to read because they put Supreme Court documents underneath their black and white
00:19:09.840 text. In Supreme Court Justice's Histories, a story of immigration in America. Oh, tell me the
00:19:16.260 story. Samuel Alito Jr.'s father was a baby when he and his mother left their home in Italy bound
00:19:20.940 for New Jersey, where he later became a U.S. citizen. So he came here legally and they applied
00:19:26.060 for citizenship and got it. Wow. And you're saying that Samuel Alito was born here? Okay.
00:19:33.360 Ketanji Brown Jackson's ancestors' pastures remains unknown. Indeed, the intent of the
00:19:36.820 14th Amendment to grant her and her family citizenship. Justice John Roberts' great
00:19:42.360 grandparents emigrated in the late 1800s, reminding town in Slovakia. Indeed. So Albert
00:19:49.260 Podrasky was born before his parents were naturalized, but he was nevertheless an American
00:19:53.300 guaranteed by the nation's principle of birthright citizenship. Indeed, my friends. And you know what?
00:20:00.120 That may have been the interpretation at the time, and it's fine for us to say no to it now.
00:20:05.360 We're not going to erase third or fourth generation citizenship. We're just going to say
00:20:09.060 we're correcting this right now because it is being exploited. The three are among the nine
00:20:15.760 justices will hear the arguments. And you know what? Your arguments are meaningless.
00:20:20.380 And it goes back to Wong Kim Ark. This was 1898. A man of Chinese ancestry born in San Francisco
00:20:26.800 to non-citizen parents was a U.S. citizen. The current justice immigration history spanned much
00:20:31.380 of American blah, blah, blah. Here we go. Samuel Alito Jr., Italian heritage, not born a citizen,
00:20:39.080 became a citizen, citizen by birth. So you mean to tell me that both of his parents were both U.S.
00:20:44.580 citizens, that one of his family members was a U.S. citizen, that both of their his grandparents
00:20:49.680 were naturalized U.S. citizens and not born a citizen. You have immigrants who married a U.S. 0.96
00:20:56.740 citizen who had this is interesting. Actually, they've completely disproven themselves. Take a 0.97
00:21:01.940 look at this. I don't know which parent this is, but you can see here one of his parents was born
00:21:07.760 of a U.S. citizen and later became a U.S. citizen. Or I suppose the argument they're making is,
00:21:12.980 As they stated before, this person was born before, but they both became U.S. citizens.
00:21:18.660 Hold on there a gosh darn minute.
00:21:21.180 This person was born here? 0.58
00:21:23.820 Hold on, let me look at the clarification.
00:21:25.420 I want to make sure I'm getting this right.
00:21:27.820 Blah, blah, blah.
00:21:28.640 His father came as an infant with the grandmother in 1914.
00:21:32.060 Okay, so they both came here.
00:21:34.100 They both settled.
00:21:35.280 And then by 1920s, with more restrictive immigration laws, they only came here legally,
00:21:40.160 they ultimately became citizens.
00:21:42.280 Okay.
00:21:43.500 I'm going to also just point this out.
00:21:45.280 What they're trying to do is pressure and say, see, immigration is a good thing. 0.97
00:21:49.720 Indeed, I love immigration.
00:21:50.680 It's fantastic.
00:21:51.700 Wonderful.
00:21:52.660 Just come here legally.
00:21:53.880 I don't see how this argument makes sense for Chinese birth tourism.
00:21:58.720 Here's a story from CNN.
00:22:00.060 Birth tourism organizer jailed over a scheme to bring pregnant Chinese women to the U.S.
00:22:04.500 Why?
00:22:05.640 Birthright citizenship is normal and natural.
00:22:08.260 Why would this be a crime?
00:22:09.900 I'm curious.
00:22:10.680 They say U.S. District Judge R. Gary Klausner gave Phoebe Dong a 41-month sentence and ordered
00:22:17.740 her immediately taken into custody from his federal court in Los Angeles. Dong and her
00:22:22.280 husband were convicted in September of conspiracy and money laundering through their company,
00:22:26.480 USA Happy Baby. Sentencing came as birthright citizenship has been thrust into the spotlight.
00:22:32.260 We get it. I love this one. NDTV says, babies of slaves, Trump's bizarre birthright citizenship
00:22:39.920 rant. Gee, I wonder why they're saying it. New Delhi, U.S. president. Oh, I see. It's an article
00:22:49.300 for foreigners upset that Donald Trump is saying y'all can't steal from us anymore.
00:22:54.420 I have a story about my family history. My dad's side of the family have been in this country for
00:23:00.580 hundreds of years. My mom's side of the family were immigrants. On her dad's side, immigrated
00:23:07.860 from Germany. And this is like late 1800s, I think. And then on my grandmother's side,
00:23:15.440 Korea. Can you believe it? And they did everything illegally. You know, everything was legal. 0.96
00:23:22.560 The funny thing is, the only thing illegal about it was that my grandmother wasn't allowed to marry
00:23:27.920 my grandfather because of miscegenation laws. I understand times change and we update for what
00:23:35.520 makes more sense. And I think getting rid of this miscegenation, this loving Virginia was
00:23:40.060 properly ruled. It's kind of weird to think that in our, in there, there are many people alive
00:23:45.520 today, boomers in their lifetime. It was a crime to be in an interracial relationship. Isn't that 1.00
00:23:52.300 weird? You'll meet many people who are like, I remember that. Yep. If you were a white kid, 0.92
00:23:58.540 like that's why it's, it's so crazy that the interracial kiss on Star Trek, the original
00:24:03.220 series. Because at the time, it was considered wrong. And it's just weird to me. It's crazy by
00:24:10.460 today's standards, right? It's like, white dude and a black chick are in love. That's fantastic. 0.96
00:24:16.700 Have fun. But it was a crime. So I get it. Times change. The purpose of birthright citizenship
00:24:22.880 is because we produce things, we pay taxes to a community, and we provide for ourselves,
00:24:29.640 our families, our friends, our neighbors. If anyone can just come here and have kids,
00:24:34.640 you will have foreign adversaries running for president. I think it's coming to an end.
00:24:41.400 I really do. I think birthright citizenship will end because you take a look at what the U.S. has
00:24:48.280 been doing with Venezuela, Iran. It's all about securing U.S. interests in our borders.
00:24:55.280 Donald Trump's strategy is America will be the capital city like in the Hunger Games.
00:24:59.640 You know, call it good or bad, call it whatever you want, but that means random people can't just show up and get access to the public coffers.
00:25:09.200 The Hill reports, Supreme Court's path may hinge on a 1940 law.
00:25:15.560 They say, let's jump to the specifics here on the 1940 law if they ever get to it.
00:25:22.860 They say, so far lawmakers have not done, they say, it would however leave the door open for Congress to get involved and repeal the 1940s law.
00:25:29.400 do they not even reference? It's so annoying. All right, let's, here we go. Decades after ratifying
00:25:35.200 the 14th Amendment during Reconstruction, Congress in 1940 passed a law defining citizenship.
00:25:39.940 It contained nearly identical language. Lawmakers recodified in 1952.
00:25:45.940 So it gives the justice a pathway to rule in the challenger's favor without reaching the
00:25:49.900 weighted question about the 14th Amendment. If it is not necessary to decide more to dispose of this
00:25:55.040 case, then it is necessary not to decide more. He wrote on his opinion in 2022. He called it a
00:26:00.820 fundamental principle of judicial restraint. The justices also have a separate principle
00:26:05.080 to avoid interpreting ambiguous statutes in a way that make them unconstitutional.
00:26:10.160 There is an after effect here, my friends, that is going to get very, very interesting, and that is
00:26:14.520 the banning of abortion. Y'all ready for this one? Let me read the 14th Amendment for you one more 0.89
00:26:21.360 time. All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction
00:26:27.300 thereof are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside, period.
00:26:32.880 That is one clause of the 14th Amendment Section 1, meaning there are persons who are not born
00:26:38.600 and not naturalized. That means by the text of the of the amendment, babies in the womb
00:26:47.520 are persons, but they are not born and not naturalized and therefore not citizens, right?
00:26:55.460 Because you must be born to be a citizen. Okay. No state shall make or enforce any law which
00:27:02.660 shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States, semicolon,
00:27:06.980 nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property without due process of law.
00:27:12.120 person, not citizen. So if we interpret the text this way, that a person must be up. There are
00:27:20.940 persons who have yet to be born. That would imply that no state shall deprive any person of life,
00:27:27.740 liberty or property. These are individuals who are not citizens or not yet born. Now, of course,
00:27:34.280 the counter argument is no, no. They're saying a human person walking around who was born in Mexico
00:27:42.100 They're not saying that unborn babies are persons.
00:27:44.700 Indeed, if that's how you choose to interpret it, I would choose to interpret a different way.
00:27:51.360 Persons born imply persons not born, in which case a state shall not deprive a person, whether
00:27:58.180 born or not, of life, liberty or property without due process of law.
00:28:02.400 And that would mean if you want to have an abortion, you'd have to get a writ from a 1.00
00:28:05.140 judge and there would have to be a defense for the person not yet born.
00:28:09.280 And I know they're going to argue. No, no, they're saying non-citizens. They're saying
00:28:14.840 persons who are not born here are people from Mexico, for instance. Well, unfortunately for 0.88
00:28:20.780 y'all, it doesn't say anywhere that there are persons who were born, you know, if it said all
00:28:25.580 persons who were born, but not, you know, all persons, all persons born, but also born in the
00:28:32.480 United States, it doesn't say that. So I think my interpretation is equally valid and it will have
00:28:37.560 to be adjudicated. It's going to get interesting, my friends. They got birth tourism all over the
00:28:42.940 place. You've got fraud running rampant in the United States with the Somali individuals, 1.00
00:28:49.480 and they have already begun to denaturalize some of them. The most interesting of things I've seen
00:28:53.900 in this regard is what's happening to this country. Nick Carter made this post, which is
00:28:58.020 very interesting, and he says, y'all don't understand. Universal basic income is already
00:29:02.320 here. What's his point? With the massive fraud that we are seeing and the entitlements,
00:29:08.160 people are already getting everything for free. We are already paying out from the coffers
00:29:13.100 to people running schemes to steal the money. Now, you may not like it, but he's saying the
00:29:19.820 fraud epidemic is, he says the fraud is the UBI. The purpose of the system is that it does what it
00:29:26.080 does. And the reason why they won't pass the SAVE Act or get rid of the fraud is because it is a
00:29:31.440 function of American politics intentionally ingrained within it. Well, I think if we're
00:29:38.600 going to save this country and make it great again, we've got to get rid of all of this
00:29:41.620 corruption. And it is corruption. There is a UBI. These illegal immigrants, and yes, 1.00
00:29:49.240 they're illegal immigrants when they commit fraud to gain citizenship or residency,
00:29:52.940 need to be stopped and held accountable. The money needs to be returned to the American people,
00:29:58.300 and these individuals should be denaturalized and deported.
00:30:02.540 If we don't do this, in 30 years, you're going to have a man from China, 1.00
00:30:09.380 raised in China, allegiant to the Chinese Communist Party, running for the office of the presidency.
00:30:16.580 And because he's a U.S. citizen, when they transfer money to him from China,
00:30:21.180 it's his personal money. He can spend it however he wants.
00:30:24.100 And they will run schemes to make sure this individual wins the election,
00:30:27.240 and then the U.S. will cease to be. 0.98
00:30:29.840 That seems real dumb. 0.94
00:30:32.180 I guess we'll find out tomorrow 0.97
00:30:33.540 how the Supreme Court feels.
