00:00:55.940 we are about to get live as of this recording the ruling on birthright citizenship stay tuned

00:01:04.380 because we uh we have it right now we're waiting at scotus blog this of course being recorded live

00:01:09.880 for everybody the court has stricken down the executive order on birthright citizenship trump

00:01:16.800 loses if you are from china and a communist party member your child born in guam can be president

00:01:24.720 of these United States. Now, we're still waiting for the full breakdown. We do have, I believe 0.95

00:01:31.880 we've got this right here, for the official ruling. So let's, I'm going to copy this.

00:01:39.360 We're going to copy it all. And I'm going to load it in and get a quick summary with our friend

00:01:44.260 Claude over here to break it down, to give us the gist. This could be a narrow ruling. This

00:01:49.820 could be a narrow ruling. It's 194 pages. Wow. A narrow ruling could just say Trump's executive

00:01:57.240 orders out. They could have a nice day. Not that they're going to have an official determination.

00:02:01.960 But Thomas has a dissenting opinion joined by Alito and Gorsuch. This is surprising. I thought

00:02:07.360 it was going to go seven to two. Quick summary from our friend Claude. Supreme Court decision

00:02:13.240 in Trump v. Barbara, a fractured ruling five to. Whoa, wait, what? That's not five to four. They

00:02:18.780 said it was six to three, right? What? Hold on. Oh, they have, they have separate dissenting

00:02:23.780 opinions. Wow. Five to four children born in the United States to parents who are unlawfully or

00:02:28.020 temporary present are subject to the jurisdiction of the United States. So this is a little bit

00:02:31.900 more broad and citizens at birth under the 14th amendment. Ladies and gentlemen, get the clips 0.79

00:02:37.860 out, get the tweets. You have no country. The court therefore affirms the injunction against

00:02:44.720 executive order. Roberts wrote for the majority, joined by Sotomayor, Kagan, Barrett, and Jackson.

00:02:49.200 There's Barrett, notably crossing the usual ideological lines. This is, uh, Kavanaugh

00:02:55.660 concurs in judgment and dissents in part. Interesting. They're calling it six to three,

00:03:02.740 but why are we getting, uh, why is Claude telling me it's five to four? Claude's always wrong,

00:03:06.580 right? The citizenship clause incorporated into English common law, rule of jus soli,

00:03:11.820 citizenship by birthplace, which crossed the Atlantic and prevailed in the States.

00:03:15.240 Subject to the jurisdiction refers to the power of the U.S. government to govern those in its territory with only narrow exceptions.

00:03:21.360 That's the most insane thing I've ever heard. These people are psychopaths. 1.00

00:03:25.560 You were born here. But if it's de facto, anyone here is subject to our jurisdiction is the stupidest. 1.00

00:03:32.400 It's then why say either? Wow. 1.00

00:03:37.900 David Latt says, I feel even more vindicated. I think I said it would be six to three or even closer.

00:03:42.220 Sotomayor Kagan, Baird and Jackson join Robert's opinion in full. Welcome to the end, my friends.

00:03:50.280 We've got the official ruling here in Trump v. Barbara held children born in the United States

00:03:56.600 to parents unlawfully or temporarily temporarily present are subject to the jurisdiction of the

00:04:01.640 United States and are citizens at birth. This is massive. This is absolutely massive. I got to put

00:04:10.200 out a tweet on this one breaking news trump loses uh scotus holds children born to non-citizens

00:04:26.200 and illegal immigrants are citizens wow this is massive this is massive so a chinese national

00:04:37.980 can give birth to a child in Guam, and that child raised in China is eligible

00:04:47.440 to be president of the United States. What a ridiculous and psychotic ruling. 0.99

00:04:58.500 Man, I just, I can't say that I'm all that surprised, right? 0.99

00:05:03.040 there it is we got it ladies and gentlemen as uh to be expected as to be expected so let's break

00:05:13.920 down where we're currently at and then uh we'll we'll read through these arguments you have no

00:05:19.840 elections barrett writing for the majority yesterday election day does not mean a day

00:05:25.980 in which you cast your ballot because you can cast your ballot before election day

00:05:28.940 and election day does not mean the day by which your ballot is counted because they've never

00:05:34.580 prescribed a date in which your ballot is counted. Therefore, despite the fact that Congress has

00:05:38.540 explicitly stated there is a day for the election, so it is held. They can take your ballot whenever

00:05:45.960 and count your ballot whenever. That's a psychotic ruling. And so how are we supposed to have any 0.86

00:05:51.120 meaningful elections? The Supreme Court has opened the door for civil war. And I'm not saying it will 0.95

00:05:57.000 happen. I'm just saying to consider a few scenarios. California tried to redistrict.

00:06:01.680 They wanted to put something like five or six districts in San Francisco. It's insane. Virginia

00:06:07.120 tried to do the same. They wanted to put five congressional districts in Fairfax County. 0.98

00:06:12.020 That would have eliminated the representation of rural Virginian conservatives. Well,

00:06:16.700 they lost internally. The Democrats are upset that red states have redistrict and under the

00:06:25.500 Voting Rights Act, how SCOTUS, like, dude, like my only conclusion is that everything SCOTUS has

00:06:31.880 done over the past several months has been like, they've been sitting around being like, hey guys,

00:06:34.980 can we start a civil war somehow? Let me explain. So they overturned the VRA interpretation that

00:06:39.860 requires racially gerrymandered districts, allowing for the Republicans to eliminate

00:06:45.660 congressional seats that they thought were based on race. And they did. Democrats get pissed because

00:06:50.580 they're losing seats now. They try to redistrict, but fail because they weren't doing it off of any

00:06:55.480 scotus merit. They were just like, let's draw a weird, ridiculous map, which theoretically could

00:07:00.580 violate constitutional rights. And they failed internally amongst their own states. Do you

00:07:05.820 believe the Democrats will just sit idly by now that we've gotten this election ruling from

00:07:10.880 yesterday? The answer is no. Why would they? Now, the question is, how far do they go?

00:07:15.180 But theoretically and hypothetically, Democrats could make the argument. Let's say you've got

00:07:20.300 Illinois. It's a blue state, largely a red state, but they gerrymandered it beautifully to create a

00:07:25.040 bunch of Democrat districts. What they can say in Illinois because it's controlled by Democrats is

00:07:30.180 in this Republican district, we issued 726,000 mail-in votes, but we only received back 220,000.

00:07:41.000 Every vote must be counted. So the closure of this election will not concur until we've confirmed

00:07:48.840 everyone who can vote has voted. To put it simply, they can argue that the election isn't over

00:07:54.960 until they say it's over, which means January 3rd comes around and they can say, unfortunately for

00:08:00.640 the Republican district, we've not concluded the election. Therefore, no Republican will be sent

00:08:06.000 to Congress. They could do that. It is insane. The Supreme Court did not say you must choose

00:08:13.720 your candidate on the day Congress said you should, because Barrett is a second. Don't get

00:08:18.680 me wrong. We all know Roberts is nuts. The liberals are nuts. This is a nuclear bomb right 1.00

00:08:25.340 now, my friends, breaking birthright. Citizenship does not applies to even those who seek to burn 0.96

00:08:34.500 this country to the ground. It's shockingly insane. Shockingly insane is all I can say,

00:08:42.300 man. Children born and noncitizen illegal immigrants are citizens. 1.00

00:08:47.060 So a Chinese national can give birth to a child in Guam, and that child raised in China is

00:08:51.040 elegibly present to the United States. But let's let's start breaking this down. First,

00:08:55.300 we'll grab some of the quick quips from the SCOTUS blog. Five to four on the meaning of

00:08:59.640 the Constitution is shockingly close. Yeah, that's yeah. She says that this version of

00:09:05.300 history elides the entire point of the second founding. The Reconstruction Amendments were

00:09:10.300 an anti-cast, anti-subordination reset for the nation, not a mere spot treatment for the dark 0.58

00:09:14.760 stain of slavery. All I can say is every ruling the Supreme Court has put down has basically been

00:09:22.660 like, can we get a civil war? Because we'll go this way. OK, no spending limits for coordination.

00:09:29.000 What are we going to get now? Hyper partisanship. I have I have a vision. I had a vision. I was 0.72

00:09:35.360 optimistic and I felt good. I did. People said, Tim, you got really emotional, emotional, emotional

00:09:40.940 over the Supreme Court ruling yesterday on the issue of mail-in voting.

00:09:47.860 I want you to imagine a scenario.

00:09:50.500 The Supreme Court comes down and issues a not so broad, but a somewhat broad ruling.

00:09:57.300 Congress has prescribed an election day, the day of the election.

00:10:01.880 Therefore, people must receive and deliver their ballots on that day.

00:10:06.420 Early voting, universal mail-in voting are unconstitutional.

00:10:13.580 Absentee voting passed by Congress for uniformed military members and expats.

00:10:20.820 Acceptable because Congress has codified it.

00:10:23.460 However, they must be counted by election day.

00:10:27.360 What happens?

00:10:28.540 We stop seeing the weird ballot harvesting nonsense.

00:10:32.460 California starts to shift towards a moderate center.

00:10:34.960 still Democrat, but fairly moderate because they have to actually convince people to get up and go

00:10:40.660 out and vote on election day. No more universal mail-in votes. This midterm happens and the nation

00:10:46.180 is pulled slightly closer together because the Democrats who will likely win are going to be

00:10:50.940 more moderate. They are going to inspire more active individuals who are paying attention and

00:10:55.940 are aware of what's going on, as opposed to what the DSA and other far-left groups do with ballot

00:10:59.820 harvesting and activism. Growing businesses deal with the same problem. Too many tools,

00:11:04.580 too much back and forth and not enough time odoo helps bring it all together it's an all-in-one

00:11:27.900 to book a demo. It's O-D-O-O dot com. Within the next couple of years, we see a more moderate

00:11:34.600 leaning Democrat party, which we largely disagree with, but we start coming back to the, well, 0.97

00:11:39.600 they're not chopping off kids' balls, right? Instead, the Supreme Court has done everything 0.91

00:11:45.180 in their power to force the hyper-polarized factions in this country to be at each other's

00:11:51.160 throats. There is no day for the election. So. OK, let her rip, boys. Let's say that the Republicans

00:11:59.520 in red states now determine that those singular blue districts and cities. Well, if there's no

00:12:04.700 deadline for receipt of the ballots, we're just going to say that the ballot receipt is indefinite.

00:12:10.260 Now, you know what they can do? A more reasonable, reasonable play. And if I was in a position of

00:12:16.200 power in a state election official. What I'd say is this. We have mail in voting in our red state,

00:12:23.580 right? So to make sure every legal vote is counted, we will not stop counting ballots until

00:12:33.080 one week after the last legitimate ballot is received. And that is like California says,

00:12:42.100 hand dated. Doesn't need a postmark so long as it's hand dated.

00:12:48.180 So here's what happens. It's a month after the midterms. And we find one ballot.

00:12:54.060 One. Doesn't matter who they voted for. We go, oh, oh, guys, we found a ballot.

00:12:58.760 This means we did not collect all legal ballots and there may still be some floating around

00:13:03.640 because, you know, things get lost in the mail. We are extending from this point another seven days

00:13:07.660 by which we will accept and count ballots.

00:13:10.900 Now it's five weeks after the election.

00:13:13.040 And on day seven, the 11th hour,

00:13:14.960 someone goes, I found a ballot.

00:13:16.420 And we go, whoa, not every ballot was, oh.

00:13:20.120 From this point, we will extend an additional seven days to count.

00:13:24.000 Now it's six weeks after the election.

00:13:26.020 And just do it indefinitely.

00:13:27.500 And then what happens is January 3rd, they say,

00:13:30.060 are we going to seat someone from, you know, Atlanta?

00:13:33.400 No, because we never concluded the election.

00:13:36.700 That's it.

00:13:38.320 We've not yet concluded the election because we're still getting ballots back.

00:13:41.960 After all, the Supreme Court said there is no deadline determined by Congress.

00:13:46.160 So, you know, we can just take as long as we need to.

00:13:49.580 Don't get me wrong.

00:13:50.240 The states have their own provisions.

00:13:52.380 And Barrett said there's no prescribed deadline, so have a nice day, which means the states

00:13:56.920 can set their own.

00:13:58.140 In this instance, Mississippi said five days.

00:14:00.980 But the states could now change that if they want and just say there's no deadline.

00:14:04.640 We can do whatever we want, whatever we want.

00:14:06.320 And the fascinating thing is that Barrett and Alito both highlighted in their ruling yesterday

00:14:14.980 civil war elements that resulted in the need for a deadline, with Barrett even saying in 1872

00:14:21.320 there were irregularities, so they said we need to set a deadline, but they never set a deadline

00:14:25.740 for receipt, which is a lie. She's plum lying. A day of election means a day for the election. 0.51

00:14:33.120 And she interprets that under Barrett's argument, there is no language that could be used

00:14:41.100 to codify a day for receipt.

00:14:44.120 None.

00:14:45.360 If you're going to make the argument that when Congress said the day of the election

00:14:49.660 is this day and then you go, but that doesn't specify when they receive ballots.

00:14:54.720 OK.

00:14:56.280 Then imagine Congress says, OK, fine.

00:14:58.900 We'll change it to say the first Tuesday after the Tuesday, but the first Monday shall be the day of the election by which all ballots must be received.

00:15:10.200 How's that for you? And then Barrett goes received.

00:15:13.680 You never said counted. And then you go, whoa.

00:15:19.100 OK, let's change the law again. Must be received and counted on this day.

00:15:24.860 And then she goes, whoa, whoa. You never said you need to determine who actually won on that day.

00:15:30.520 And you know, oh, my God, are you a psychotic evil? Yes, because we all know what day of 0.96

00:15:36.800 election means. Imagine telling Congress every single time this comes up, their language is

00:15:44.160 imprecise. You can't get more precise than day of election. But that's the game that she plays

00:15:50.800 because it's about power. And I can only conclude that the purpose of such a ruling was to make sure 0.99

00:15:56.960 that blue states will be hyper-partisan far-left wing nuts with procedural victories and oppressed

00:16:05.720 populations, which will result in geographic hyper-polarization and tyranny. I mean, is her

00:16:13.340 IQ 70 or does she want there to be violence in this country? You then take a look at the birth

00:16:18.340 right citizenship question. Yeah. Do you think this is going to play out well? What we have seen

00:16:25.080 over the past several decades, where they have brought in, there's a report where they said

00:16:30.820 20% of Springfield, Ohio's population may get deported. And people are like,

00:16:36.360 why is 20% of this city Haitian TPS migrants granted temporary status from 2010? That's insane.

00:16:45.620 No, I think you have a handful of really good people. Thomas and Alito genuinely love this

00:16:53.260 country, believe in its structures, its foundings, and want it to perpetuate. The rest of them could

00:16:59.240 care less. I think Amy Coneyberg, to be completely honest, I believe that she's scared. The liberal 0.55

00:17:06.660 justices are ideologically aligned with the machine state. Thomas and Alito are defiant.

00:17:12.720 Kavanaugh, oh, man, you see what they did to him? 0.58

00:17:14.940 They tried to kill him. 0.96

00:17:15.840 They accused him of gang rape.

00:17:17.620 And Barrett is terrified. 0.99

00:17:19.740 I wonder what skeletons she's got in her closet that make her so easy to force into these psychotic positions. 1.00

00:17:24.680 If she went the other way, this would have been five to four. 0.97

00:17:27.780 No, you cannot illegally enter the country and then have a kid and that kid's a citizen.

00:17:32.980 The Supreme Court has upheld. 1.00

00:17:34.460 Anchor babies can be president. 1.00

00:17:37.320 OK, then you have no country. 1.00

00:17:39.100 We don't have elections and we don't have a qualification for who is a citizen of this

00:17:43.980 country.

00:17:44.360 That's it.

00:17:45.900 It's one thing to argue that birthright citizenship stands for those who are lawfully present.

00:17:53.200 I mean, let's just say they went when they went this way and said, listen, if you are

00:17:56.580 lawfully present in this country as a tourist, your kid is here because you apply to be a

00:18:03.780 tourist.

00:18:04.120 We grant you a temporary status.

00:18:05.600 Three months, maybe six, maybe two, maybe ten.

00:18:08.620 Your children are subject to our jurisdiction because you are citizen.

00:18:12.920 I would say, I mean, that's still birth tourism.

00:18:15.740 That's wrong. 1.00

00:18:16.240 But it's better than saying that a Guatemalan woman, nine months pregnant, can American 0.77

00:18:22.840 ninja warrior across doing flips over the Rio Grande, land superhero pose, look up and

00:18:29.560 then give birth.

00:18:30.920 And the CBP agent goes, that their baby's American as apple pie.

00:18:34.740 That is the most insane thing I've ever heard.

00:18:37.060 that a woman can stand on the border about to give birth, go into labor. And then the moment

00:18:43.920 the baby's crowning, they drag her over and like, aha, we win. That baby can now be your president.

00:18:50.760 What? Ridiculous. Let's take a jump down to the dissent here, though. 1.00

00:18:58.520 Dissenting. Actually, it's much easier to just go to. It is so ordered. That is the easiest way

00:19:04.120 to find the end. The judgment for the district court for the District of New Hampshire is affirmed.

00:19:09.460 This is Justice Jackson, with whom Sotomayor joins and concurring. Well, I don't care about

00:19:16.400 your concurrence. So let's just I guess we'll have to go to dissenting. Dissenting. And we'll

00:19:23.460 take a leap, a leap. Trump dissenting in parts, dissenting opinion, lots of dissenting, lots of

00:19:30.460 dissenting. And oh, man, here we go. Justice Thomas, with whom Gorsuch joins dissenting.

00:19:39.120 The court's decision in Dred Scott v. Sanford would have permanently denied citizenship to

00:19:43.680 blacks as a subordinate and inferior class. After the Civil War, the Reconstruction Congress

00:19:48.680 overruled Dred Scott, first with the Civil Rights Act of 1866, then with the Citizenship Clause of

00:19:53.940 the 14th Amendment. Both the Civil Rights Act and the Citizenship Clause guaranteed citizenship

00:19:59.100 to persons born and domiciled in the U.S. regardless of their race.

00:20:03.160 Neither guaranteed citizenship to persons who are not domiciled in the United States. 0.74

00:20:08.180 Blacks were entitled to citizenship because they were Americans. 0.97

00:20:11.120 They had no other homeland, owed no allegiance to any foreign power, 0.98

00:20:14.520 and were subject to no other authority.

00:20:16.600 They fought and bled in the same battles,

00:20:19.080 gained and gloried in the same victories,

00:20:20.620 and were liable to be called upon to defend America in a time of war,

00:20:24.200 alongside every other citizen.

00:20:25.680 to life and writings of Frederick Douglass, etc., etc. Citation. The citizenship clause thus

00:20:32.300 guaranteed them the dignity and glory of American citizenship so as to ensure that they would never

00:20:36.640 be treated as second class under the law. Again, to put it simply, the 40th Amendment says all

00:20:41.420 persons born in this country and subject to our jurisdiction are citizens. What they were saying

00:20:45.380 was descriptive, not prescriptive. What they were saying was all these here slaves, they were born 0.69

00:20:50.640 here and we have dominion over them as a country, we are grant we are we are saying they are

00:20:57.600 citizens. They weren't stating literally anybody from this point forward will now be a citizen.

00:21:04.700 The same could not be said for the children of foreign temporary visitors. I want you to imagine

00:21:10.100 this. The time of the 14th Amendment, when they granted citizenship to slaves, it did not at that

00:21:16.040 time apply to Chinese people. Let's just say it again. The 40th Amendment. All people born in 1.00

00:21:23.300 this country and subject to its laws. So there's a Chinese couple living in America at the time.

00:21:27.740 They had a kid. Growing businesses deal with the same problem. Too many tools, too much back and

00:21:33.140 forth, and not enough time. Odoo helps bring it all together. It's an all-in-one business management

00:21:56.100 demo it's odoo.com no one granted that kid citizenship because they understood the implications

00:22:02.700 it wasn't until some 20 or 30 years later they started to come up they say accordingly domicile

00:22:08.200 a person's illegal home we understand this that is why when dred scott went to court he argued

00:22:12.160 that to be a citizen, it is only necessary that he should have acquired a domicile.

00:22:17.280 Congress implemented the principle that citizenship follows birth and domicile in the Civil Rights

00:22:22.220 Act of 1866. And then in the Citizenship Clause of the 14th Amendment, the Civil Rights Act

00:22:28.140 guaranteed citizenship to persons who were born both in the U.S. and as relevant here,

00:22:33.240 not subject to any foreign power. Indeed. But of course, I'm going to say it again.

00:22:39.140 they know full well. Barrett Roberts, they know full well. With due respect, the court's account

00:22:49.180 is not historically accurate. The court says the citizenship clause incorporated the English

00:22:53.700 feudal principle that subjects owed lifetime servitude to the king who owned the soil on

00:22:58.740 which they were born. But Americans unsurprisingly rejected this feudal principle. The court's

00:23:03.200 theory of American citizenship is based on the opinion of a New York assistant vice chancellor

00:23:07.180 in an inheritance dispute called Lynch v. Clark.

00:23:10.860 But the assistant vice chancellor's reasoning,

00:23:13.380 whatever it was worth,

00:23:14.120 was not even followed in New York

00:23:15.700 by the time of the citizenship clause.

00:23:17.480 Finally, the court reasons

00:23:19.360 that dicta in Wong Kim Ark

00:23:21.400 settled the meaning of the clause.

00:23:23.060 But Wong Kim Ark itself emphasized

00:23:25.040 that its holding was limited

00:23:26.640 to persons domiciled in the U.S.

00:23:28.880 And scholars and government officials

00:23:30.520 continued to agree after Wong Kim Ark

00:23:32.680 that citizenship clause did not extend

00:23:34.860 to the children of foreign temporary visitors. 0.54

00:23:37.180 The rule remained what it always was, a child born in American soil of a stranger or traveler

00:23:42.440 passing through the country or temporarily residing here was not a citizen.

00:23:47.340 Guys, I think the fair compromise is to say people who are here in agreement with U.S. 0.96

00:23:54.560 law who have children, those children are citizens, but illegal immigrants are not. 0.99

00:24:01.660 Anchor babies are not. 1.00

00:24:03.800 That's the compromise. 1.00

00:24:05.020 This is the torching of the American way of life, our governance, our laws.

00:24:11.640 And it's it's it's machine state destruction of this country.

00:24:14.400 I can't I'm I can't say I'm surprised that Roberts did this.

00:24:18.220 It's Trump's fault.

00:24:19.540 But here we are.

00:24:22.040 Guys, you know what I've been thinking about?

00:24:24.700 I've been thinking about my show and Tim Castile RL.

00:24:28.100 I've been thinking about the big, the big, big podcasts, what they say and how they say

00:24:33.880 it.

00:24:34.120 I've been thinking about, you know, Netflix and Amazon and Paramount.

00:24:37.560 They're buying up podcasts.

00:24:38.620 They're putting on the network.

00:24:39.600 And I'm thinking about Bill Maher and all these mainstream shows.

00:24:41.940 And I'm like, we are out of sync here at Timcast with the mainstream docile opinions

00:24:48.360 and the way things are going.

00:24:49.700 At least that's what I was thinking.

00:24:51.600 I thought to myself, are we out of touch when we speak of things such as the potential for

00:24:56.000 civil war?

00:24:56.940 Is that just silly?

00:24:58.880 Is it silly to argue it is possible that this country devolve into conflict?

00:25:03.400 And I think to myself, after everything I've seen, I just I can't believe that I'm wrong.

00:25:09.060 Don't get me wrong.

00:25:09.760 Sometimes I do think I'm wrong.

00:25:10.920 And sometimes I'll say, well, you know, I stand corrected.

00:25:12.700 My point is, no matter how many times I reassess the situation of escalating polarization and

00:25:18.520 political conflict, the conclusion is the same.

00:25:21.900 And more and more people begin to see it and begin to agree.

00:25:24.760 I want to go back and just think maybe it won't happen.

00:25:27.900 And the truth is, maybe it won't.

00:25:29.380 But every conclusion and every step we see leads us towards a conflict.

00:25:34.340 The fact that we don't have elections anymore, the Supreme Court affirmed there is no day for the election.

00:25:39.240 That's what Barrett said. 0.98

00:25:40.800 The fact that a Guatemalan woman can give birth and then leave and that kid can be our president. 1.00

00:25:46.760 I'm like, I don't know how you resolve this. 1.00

00:25:49.980 I don't know how it leads in the direction.

00:25:51.300 And in thinking about this, I thought, you know, the machine state, the corporate news and what they want to hear is so docile.

00:26:00.780 But then I actually just paused for a second and thought about The View and thought about ABC and NBC.

00:26:07.000 And I was like, you know, the truth is, it's not that we are out of touch.

00:26:11.660 It's that we are hyperpolarized.

00:26:13.380 And I don't mean we as in TimCast.

00:26:14.740 I mean, The View is hyperpolarized.

00:26:17.740 TimCast is hyperpolarized.

00:26:19.020 Not that either of us, I believe they are wrong, but the point is simply this.

00:26:24.940 We are all witnessing something.

00:26:27.260 This divide is legitimate and it does exist.

00:26:30.960 We all recognize it.

00:26:32.840 I don't see how you can reconcile this.

00:26:35.580 The argument put forth today by the Supreme Court that someone could break our laws, illegally

00:26:42.540 enter our country, give birth on the spot, and that child is now eligible to be our nation's

00:26:50.920 leader. Makes no sense. To make matters worse, this opens the door for a future conflict in that 0.99

00:26:58.900 what happens if a woman comes across the border with a one-year-old child and upon apprehension

00:27:06.920 claims. I've been here for a year and this child was born here. How do you prove it?

00:27:15.100 Therein lies the great challenge. Anchor babies, DACA recipients, whatever it may be, 1.00

00:27:21.360 where they can now bring a child across the border and say, prove he's not a citizen. 0.93

00:27:25.560 And you know what happens next? The left would argue the child was born here. The right will

00:27:30.940 argue you've got no proof that child was born here. And they would say the parent feared Trump's

00:27:36.660 fascist government and never filed the paperwork where the baby was born here. And you will then

00:27:41.500 have to potentially deport an American citizen, which will create a new Supreme Court challenge.

00:27:49.420 What proof is required that an individual was born here so that they may be a citizen?

00:27:56.020 There will be citations of hippie parents who live in the mountains, and they'll say we had

00:27:59.720 a natural home birth and never registered our child, but he was born here. And this will be

00:28:04.620 a white, blonde hair, blue eyed, American as apple pie kid who just at a certain age says,

00:28:09.600 I don't have a birth certificate, a social security card, but I was born here.

00:28:12.280 What do you do?

00:28:13.160 These cases do exist. 0.93

00:28:15.480 So what happens then when illegal immigrants now just claim my seven year old was born

00:28:20.240 here seven years ago? 1.00

00:28:21.300 Prove it otherwise.

00:28:23.240 What are you going to do?

00:28:25.300 Honest question.

00:28:26.200 What do you do? 0.96

00:28:27.440 Do you deport that kid to a country that they don't claim?

00:28:31.040 Let's say that kid doesn't speak, speaks Spanish and speaks English.

00:28:34.500 How can you prove that kid actually has documented paperwork for some other country?

00:28:39.540 Are you going to investigate Honduras, Guatemala, Mexico, Costa Rica, El Salvador,

00:28:44.460 Colombia, Venezuela to determine? Venezuela won't agree. So you now have a child who says,

00:28:51.820 I was born here. His parents say he was born here, but he wasn't, but you can't prove it.

00:28:55.380 They just get de facto citizenship. Okay. Welcome to the new nightmare.

00:29:00.900 The issue is there will be Gen Z individuals in this country. 1.00

00:29:05.960 They are not going to accept this. 1.00

00:29:09.400 They are going to look at this country as a fallen land, as they already do.

00:29:14.420 And they are now witnessing in New York, California, massive fraud, money being stripped from the public coffers and sent to foreign lands because individuals who are granted citizenship never actually should have been.

00:29:27.340 and they lied and defrauded us. And you are going to get your conflict. So I say congratulations to

00:29:34.300 Barrett. I think that Barrett and Roberts know full well what they are doing.

00:29:40.820 Not to be honest, some people say, why rag on just Barrett and Roberts? Well, I'll put it like

00:29:45.940 this, my friends. They are supposed to be the conservatives. But you know what? It is. It is

00:29:52.020 silly. Kagan Sotomayor, Kataji Brown Jackson, we know exactly what they think, and they want to 0.96

00:29:58.440 burn this country to the ground. Unfortunately, Trump won't make the moves needed. Congress won't

00:30:04.880 make the moves needed. And Republicans should pack the court right now. 13 federal district circuits, 0.95

00:30:12.260 13 Supreme Court justices, and Trump can add a good old four more conservative court members,

00:30:19.340 which guarantee we will never lose another ruling again, but he won't.

00:30:27.140 So I can only say this. Without men of action, your nation be damned. We do not have men of

00:30:34.220 action. We have Trump trying to a certain degree, but even Trump isn't going as hard as he should

00:30:43.060 or could. The question is why? Far be it for me to pretend I know the inner workings of these

00:30:48.440 systems. It may just be that, you know, Kushner, Miller, of all people, I think Miller is like,

00:30:53.900 we're going to win. And he's fantastic, by the way. Maybe they're doing everything they can

00:31:00.200 strategically. And this is just the nature of the power imbalance. Maybe they really are trying

00:31:04.980 their best. But Trump made a bunch of mistakes. He should not have appointed Amy Coney Barrett.

00:31:10.700 certainly not. It is to be seen, my friends, how devastating this will be. We knew it was coming.

00:31:22.300 Wow. Let's see. What do we have here? A court announcement. SCOTUS blog should have the

00:31:29.700 release. Something went down as I was ranting. Let's see what we got. Samuel Alito

00:31:36.280 is retiring. Oh my god. Whoa. Alito's retiring. Man. Wow. Is that true? I'm going to look this one

00:31:55.680 up. Alito is retiring. Was it posted by mistake? I don't think it's all that bad. He's retiring.

00:32:08.320 My God. To Justice Alito, you are a legend, a true patriot. And I thank you for everything you

00:32:17.640 did to fight for this country. And I will make sure my children and their children's children

00:32:23.500 know that you fought as hard as a man could fought a true leader. I say this to Justice Thomas as

00:32:29.700 well. You are both legends. And I don't think there is anyone in this country I hold with such

00:32:36.240 high esteem as Thomas and Alito. You are both legends. Alito, I actually would say it is sad

00:32:43.580 to see you go, but it may be the right move because Trump needs to make sure he gets someone

00:32:49.060 as good, if not better. And I would argue that Alito should be the one to choose.

00:32:55.460 Tell Trump and the administration who will be your successor. Holy crap. Wow. 0.99

00:33:04.520 This breaks my heart. But at the same time, we knew it needed to be done. Alito and Thomas are old.

00:33:10.140 Thomas. Stay healthy, my friend. We need you. We need you. We need your clerks. We need those

00:33:18.820 who stand by you. But this may be the opportunity. We cannot have a Ruth Bader Ginsburg moment where

00:33:25.380 she held out too long. Trump gets elected and the Democrats freaked out. So as much as it pains me

00:33:32.400 to say, perhaps the best thing that could happen for this country is that Thomas and Alito retire

00:33:37.960 with honor and integrity, appoint, choose who their successors will be. Trump appoints them

00:33:43.600 and we get someone. Let's get some 35 year old. Let's make it insanely young. 60 years on the 0.99

00:33:51.900 court. Stand true, my friends. Sad to see it. Sad to see it. But there is still there is still time.

00:34:00.480 There is still time. But again, we shall see. Smash that like button, my friends. Thank you all

00:34:07.560 so much for hanging out. This has been massive, massive breaking news this morning. Supreme Court

00:34:13.540 rulings. We are back tonight at 8pm for Timcast IRL. Thank you so much for hanging out and we
