00:04:20.680This is so, so great. I love it. And already the naysayers and the whiners and the complainers,
00:04:28.740they're going to say, well, they're not denaturalizing enough citizens. Well, yeah,
00:04:35.860look, well, I know that Biden was letting in 3 million illegals per year on top of all the
00:04:39.740legal immigrants. And I know that Trump closed down the border and stopped those illegals,
00:04:43.3003 million illegals per year from coming in. And I know he deported about 2 million illegals on top
00:04:48.480of that. And I know he's denaturalizing US citizens who are immigrants because they defrauded the
00:04:57.300government on their immigration applications. But it's not enough. Yeah, okay, man, whatever.
00:05:01.980It's like just such a massive shift from even two years ago. Are you kidding me? And a massive
00:05:07.960shift from the last, I don't know, 60 years of immigration policy. Here is the vice president
00:05:13.140explaining the policy. Yeah, well, absolutely. And that's one of the angles that we're looking
00:05:19.060at is the people who committed immigration fraud against our system. And how do we denaturalize
00:05:23.360those people and send them back to where they came from? There's also, as you know, Will,0.71
00:05:27.680under the Biden administration, there was a big blurring of the lines between illegal and legal
00:05:32.300immigration. The Biden administration would often take people who are coming in on fraudulent asylum
00:05:37.760claims, fraudulent refugee claims, and basically wave the magic wand of amnesty and say, we're not
00:05:43.160going to enforce the immigration laws against those people. The first thing, and maybe the most
00:05:47.900important thing that we did in the Trump administration is that we stopped that from
00:05:51.200happening. But then you still have a lot of people who benefited from that Biden administration
00:05:56.220amnesty program. We're trying to unwind as much of that as possible. We've already had some success,
00:06:01.200by the way, Will, despite the fact that left-wing radicals in the justice system, the court system,
00:06:06.780have tried to stop us, we have been able to denaturalize and actually unwind that temporary
00:06:12.620protected status. The good news is that we're stopping the fraud that's happening against the
00:06:17.020American taxpayer. The bad news is that my own children will never be able to attend school at
00:06:21.920the Quality Leering Center. Great little singer there at the end. Unfortunately, Mike, we were
00:06:28.960just applying for the Somali Quality Leering Center in Minnesota, and we haven't heard back
00:06:34.240from them yet. This is really great news. It's really great for the vice president,1.00
00:06:39.700the vice president who was put in charge of the fraud task force from the White House.
00:06:44.680And it's always dangerous for vice presidents because the White House will often put them
00:06:49.260in charge of things that they don't want to deal with and then not give them the resources to do
00:06:53.200anything with it. So the perfect example of this is Kamala Harris under Biden. Biden said, hey,0.94
00:06:58.600I'm going to put you in charge of the border. You're going to have to fix the border. But
00:07:02.740Kamala Harris was totally incompetent, totally incapable of doing that. And the White House1.00
00:07:07.120didn't actually want her to close the border anyway. The White House wanted open borders0.80
00:07:10.600under Joe Biden. So in this case, they said, okay, we're going to put J.D. Vance, we're going
00:07:14.300to put the VP in charge of fraud. And you say, well, hold on, can the VP do that? Will the White
00:07:21.060House back the VP in doing that? And the VP's scoring big wins here, scoring major wins,
00:07:26.640unwinding a lot of that fraud. First of all, exposing a ton of the fraud,
00:07:29.980working with the conservative journalists, including our own Luke Rosiak,
00:07:35.900Daily Wire's own Luke Rosiak, who exposed a lot of that fraud in Ohio to put a spotlight on that.
00:07:40.740And then unwinding a lot of that, unwinding a lot of the red tape and protections that
00:07:44.840Joe Biden had put into place. And now we're seeing actually denaturalizing U.S. citizens
00:07:50.600who are caught up in the fraud. So according to CBS, the Trump admin is seeking to revoke
00:07:56.640the citizenship of 17 U.S. citizens accused of immigration fraud. This is, according to CBS,
00:08:03.060an unprecedented denaturalization campaign. I know a lot of people are going to say,
00:08:07.30017? Only 17? I want to do 17 million. Forget about 17. Yeah, sure. But we haven't really
00:08:15.580seen this before. New York Times, CBS, all reporting this is unprecedented. This is obviously
00:08:20.920a test run for a broader campaign. It's completely shifting the momentum on the
00:08:26.180immigration debate. It's expanding the Overton window of how we can even speak about immigration
00:08:30.360for all the people throwing popcorn from the sidelines and say, how many people have you
00:08:34.280ever denaturalized? How many immigrants and illegal immigrants and fraudsters on temporary0.99
00:08:40.000visas, how many of those people have you gotten out of the country? None. This is very,
00:08:44.160very impressive stuff. So federal law, according to CBS, has long allowed the government to try
00:08:50.300to denaturalize foreign-born US citizens who have committed fraud. But the process has been
00:08:56.060historically lengthy, complex, seldom exercised, requiring officials to persuade a lot of judges.
00:09:03.500So sure, the federal government had this power. They basically never used it, though. Trump is
00:09:06.880putting this into overdrive. The Trump admin has sought to vastly escalate denaturalization efforts
00:09:13.860as part of its larger crackdown on illegal and legal immigration. I love this. I'm all for this.0.99
00:09:20.260This was not even a view you could express on immigration for most of my life.
00:09:24.600But the problem with immigration is not just that people filled out the wrong paperwork.
00:09:28.560The problem with immigration is not just that they need to make sure they do it the right way.
00:09:33.600The problem with mass migration is that it frays social solidarity,0.66
00:09:37.500radically changes the demographics of a country, destabilizes the political order,
00:09:42.900and undermines sovereignty. That's the problem with mass migration. It's not even a problem0.71
00:09:46.140with the migrants themselves. It's fun to beat up on the Somalis, and the Somalis have committed a1.00
00:09:50.040lot of crimes. It's fun to beat up on those Venezuelan gangsters, and they've committed a1.00
00:09:53.580lot of crimes too. But it's not even anything against Somalis as such or Venezuelans as such.0.96
00:09:58.920It's just we have the highest foreign-born percentage of population ever, and you can't0.51
00:10:03.200sustain that. It's just not supportable by political order. So Trump is cracking down0.99
00:10:07.900on all of it. Some of these 17 citizens targeted in the denaturalization campaign
00:10:13.060were convicted of violent or serious crimes, including sex offenses against children.
00:10:18.840Others were convicted of fraud crimes or accused of committing immigration fraud.
00:10:22.060So the political benefit of this, too, is you're now going to put Democrats in the position of0.97
00:10:26.920defending chomos and pedophiles. That's what you're going to do. And you're putting Dems0.99
00:10:31.180in that position, and they'll do it, by the way. They will do it. They're going to try to avoid
00:10:34.700the specifics, but then the conservatives can just smack them with the specifics and say,
00:10:38.520look, we're on the side of Americans who voted with the popular vote to get rid of a lot of the
00:10:44.380illegal aliens and the foreign-born people broadly. And you, Democrats, are spending all of your0.99
00:10:50.800political effort to defend CHOMOs. So good luck. This is what I voted for. Love it. Love to see0.80
00:10:57.320it. Can't wait for this largest unprecedented denaturalization campaign to accelerate much,
00:11:03.140much further. Speaking of body counts, headline out of Forbes, the nerdy escorts cashing in on
00:11:10.720Silicon Valley's AI boom. It turns out that hookers who have an above average IQ, at least1.00
00:11:19.420above the average for hookers who have a little more book learning than most prostitutes are1.00
00:11:24.340making bank in Silicon Valley, selling their courtesan wiles to tech oligarchs. I'll just1.00
00:11:31.700read you a little bit from this story. It's worth reading the whole thing. In 2024, Maida Marek,
00:11:39.660which is an online pseudonym, was a recent college graduate working an entry-level finance job
00:11:44.600when she started doing the mental math that is fast becoming a rite of passage in such industry.
00:11:50.300What happens when AI can do this better than I can?
00:11:55.060I was just talking to a guy who said his kid graduated with a data science degree from a very good school, and he can't get a job.
00:12:02.440He can't get a job because those sectors, actually a lot of sectors, are undergoing this massive revolution because AI is just gobbling up all of their jobs.
00:32:09.120Thomas Jefferson, when he was president, he was running against the Federalists.
00:32:13.320And the Federalists wanted more government power, and the Jeffersonian Republicans wanted less government power.
00:32:19.740But then Jefferson does something ironic.
00:32:21.760He out-Federalists the Federalists because he makes the Louisiana Purchase on dubious constitutional authority to double the size of the United States.
00:32:48.220Ironically, when we allow our ideology to have us feel more affinity for our adversaries than we do for our own country, we are outliving the most liberal Americans.
00:32:59.020because liberalism is based on ideology, based on abstraction, based upon a notion
00:33:06.960that what really unites us and forms political communities is something in the realm of ideas
00:33:14.420and in the forms floating above the practicality of a political community. And that's just not true.
00:33:19.500That ain't how Russia views it. That ain't how China views it. That ain't how Iran views it.
00:33:24.320We have to be on our own side. There's that famous Robert Frost line. It says,
00:33:27.640a liberal is one who cannot take his own side in a quarrel. And the irony is, again, I'm not
00:33:34.980exempting myself from it. I felt this temptation myself. The irony is, when we say America's
00:33:41.520liberal and Russia, China, Iran, whoever else, they're a conservative society by their own
00:33:47.800standards. Therefore, I'm kind of on their side. We are not taking our own side in a quarrel.
00:33:54.320We are abstracting politics above the political community into the realm of ideas.
