1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,840
Speaker 1: Michael, I agree with you. So far Congress has done

2
00:00:03,880 --> 00:00:06,000
Speaker 1: little to nothing. I mean, they can't get the Save

3
00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:12,080
Speaker 1: Acts vote up. I can't believe they're so incompetent.

4
00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:12,840
Speaker 2: This tune.

5
00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:14,840
Speaker 1: I knew he was a bad choice from the beginning.

6
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:17,880
Speaker 1: I was hoping to go with Rick Scott, but Dune

7
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:21,280
Speaker 1: is just useless. He's he's just like calling it out

8
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:25,400
Speaker 1: of Texas. They're just bureaucrat idiots that just don't do anything.

9
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:26,480
Speaker 1: Thanks Michael.

10
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:33,840
Speaker 2: Congress over the past I don't want to say ten years,

11
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:39,599
Speaker 2: just past decade has put Harry Truman's do nothing Congress

12
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:48,560
Speaker 2: to shame. They're they're worthless. I would I would honestly

13
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:52,519
Speaker 2: be embarrassed to be a member of the United States Congress,

14
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 2: House or Senate. It you're kind, you're kind of like

15
00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:00,240
Speaker 2: superco You got all these you know, bad cop all

16
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 2: around you, and you're just trying to do the right

17
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:05,559
Speaker 2: thing and you can't. You know, I understand why people

18
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 2: would leave. I wish they wouldn't, but I understand why

19
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:13,680
Speaker 2: they would leave and not run again. We become and

20
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 2: we become a completely dysfunctional society. We're just I have

21
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 2: a just a tea. I obviously won't get to it today,

22
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 2: but I have been working on a segment about let

23
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 2: me just tease it this way. Have you ever thought

24
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 2: about how we are so risk averse in our society.

25
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:44,119
Speaker 2: For example, you know they put the speed limit cameras

26
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 2: up on I twenty five northwest Denver to get the

27
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 2: speed limits down too many accidents. Think about those accidents.

28
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 2: What happens when there is an accident on a major

29
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 2: free Now, if you've never traveled in Europe, or you've

30
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 2: never traveled in Japan, you've ever traveled in some of

31
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:10,360
Speaker 2: these other company that you know, you never travel in China,

32
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 2: Hell's bell. You got to give the communists credit for

33
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 2: at least knowing how to fix this. But there is

34
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 2: a fatal accident, you end up stuck for hours upon hours,

35
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 2: go off ramps, no way to get around, nothing to do,

36
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:33,519
Speaker 2: You're just stuck. Or in the middle of winter, there's

37
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:37,799
Speaker 2: an accident, maybe not even fatal, but you're stuck. Have

38
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 2: you ever thought about how we don't adapt our technology

39
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 2: to speed up those investigations because we're so risk averse

40
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 2: about everything, and we're so dysfunctional. Everybody's afraid of liability,

41
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:54,959
Speaker 2: is everybody's afraid of, you know, being called for racist,

42
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 2: or being called this or that. We are we're frozen.

43
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 2: It's it's the equivalent of the person who is facing

44
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 2: a horrible decision, neither of which is good, a Hobson's choice,

45
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:13,240
Speaker 2: and they can't make a decision whether to go left

46
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:14,800
Speaker 2: or right. And I don't mean that politically, but just

47
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 2: go this way or that way. They can't decide. That's

48
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 2: how this country's become. And it's because and this is

49
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 2: where I fought Trump. Trump does a lot of great stuff.

50
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 2: I love his policies. Trump the man. Yeah, okay, well

51
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 2: not exactly, you know, Abraham Lincoln, not exactly, George Washington,

52
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 2: not exactly, Ronald Reagan. But policy wise, he's he's take

53
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 2: he is. He's literally, I said earlier, he's taking the

54
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 2: whipped cream pie, whatever the issue is, making it into

55
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 2: a whipped cream pie and smashing in there by's face.

56
00:03:56,800 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 2: And I'm glad he's doing that because if it's making

57
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 2: people uncomfortable, it's making us face issues that we keep ignoring.

58
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 2: And he's calling the bluff of Congress. Oh you're not

59
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 2: gonna do it, Okay, I'll do it, knowing full well

60
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 2: that doing X y Z. Whatever it is by executive

61
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:22,039
Speaker 2: order is probably unlawful, probably not constitutional, but he doesn't care.

62
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 2: He wants something done and if nobody else will do it,

63
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:32,360
Speaker 2: at least i'll, you know what, all start the snowball

64
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:36,840
Speaker 2: all started rolling down the hill. Now, some of you

65
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 2: may not like that. I really don't care whether you

66
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 2: do or not. I happen to think that many of

67
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 2: the things that he'd done that he does is probably illegal,

68
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:52,039
Speaker 2: or it's unconstitutional, or it's creating an even stronger presidency.

69
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 2: And I don't want I want all three branches of

70
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 2: government to be you know, separate and equal. They have

71
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 2: a laying the play in and I want him to

72
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 2: play in that lane because that separation of powers is

73
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 2: what makes us unique from everybody else. But Trump has

74
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 2: said it's not working, and we're on a well we're

75
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,599
Speaker 2: on the highway to hell, and lets me do something

76
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 2: about it. So I'm gonna do something about while I

77
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:18,479
Speaker 2: got the time, and I give him a thousand credit

78
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:22,279
Speaker 2: for that regards what you think about him. And I

79
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:24,479
Speaker 2: know dragon that will get you know who hired up

80
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,360
Speaker 2: on the text line, that'll get you. I was literally

81
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:29,480
Speaker 2: thinking about them while you were talking. Just now I

82
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 2: wonder what he has. He'll say, the same old cross,

83
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 2: the same creative Come on right, good Greek. You're absolutely

84
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:43,360
Speaker 2: that particular individual is boring the hell out of us. Sure, yeah,

85
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:49,279
Speaker 2: come up with something creative. Yeah, so let me let

86
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 2: me just say thistle and then we'll take a break.

87
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 2: The reason I'm walking through all of these options I

88
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 2: laid out I have seven options. Now I've given you

89
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:03,160
Speaker 2: three so far. The Immigration and Nationality Act to define

90
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 2: what subject to the jurisdiction thereof means that's option number one.

91
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 2: Congress have to do that. The second option is make

92
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:17,719
Speaker 2: a ban this birth tourism industry. And then there was

93
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 2: a third one I was about to get to, and

94
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:27,040
Speaker 2: that is they could regulate by statute or regulation, surrogacy,

95
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:31,840
Speaker 2: and of course the Chinese Communist Party loophole. Do you

96
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:35,040
Speaker 2: know what that is? I probably not. Well, hang time,

97
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 2: I'll explain that next, Mike or Michael.

98
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 3: Since President Trump finally canned pam BONDI, what are our

99
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 3: chances of getting an AG that will not have an

100
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:53,360
Speaker 3: issue with US buying suppressors over the counter. Oh, by

101
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:56,720
Speaker 3: the way, in case Dragon hasn't explained it to you,

102
00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 3: AG means Attorney General.

103
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 2: Oh okay, got it, got it? Well, I was. And

104
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:08,599
Speaker 2: who's BONDI James Bond? Who's that Bondo? Is that stuff

105
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:13,080
Speaker 2: you used to repair cars? Right? Yeah? Yeah, yes, he

106
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 2: according to the news sources. According to the news sources,

107
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 2: he called her in to the Oval office last night

108
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 2: before the speech, and by the time he was giving

109
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 2: the speech, she was on her way back to Florida,

110
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 2: and I say bye bye. I think she was awful.

111
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 2: She didn't handle herself well, she was. She screwed up

112
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 2: the whole Epstein file issue. She just wasn't very effective.

113
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 2: The roover on the street in d C is that

114
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 2: ep Administrator Lee Zelden, former congressman, is in line to

115
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 2: be the replacement. I would, to your point about Second

116
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:58,239
Speaker 2: Amendment issues, that would be a good thing. But whether

117
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 2: he's the best choice or not, I don't know. But

118
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 2: I'm not the elder. No, I'm not that way at all.

119
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 2: Let me finish this so, regardless of what the Supreme

120
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:17,680
Speaker 2: Court does about birthright citizenship, Congress could also, like many

121
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 2: countries have let me. Australia has done this, Britain, Canada, China, Denmark, France, Germany,

122
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:26,240
Speaker 2: The whole list of countries I can think of, they

123
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 2: actually ban international commercial surrogency altogether. You just can't do it.

124
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:39,200
Speaker 2: We don't have a single law on the subject, not one.

125
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:42,720
Speaker 2: In fact, we are so bad that I would guess

126
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 2: maybe half of the States openly encourage international commercial surrogacy.

127
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:55,559
Speaker 2: Congress could pass a federal law that would prohibit foreign

128
00:08:55,640 --> 00:09:00,240
Speaker 2: nationals from contracting with American surrogates for the per us

129
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 2: of obtaining birthright citizenship for the resulting child. Rick Scott.

130
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 2: Rick Scott has a bill already targeting that loophole for

131
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 2: nationals from countries like China. Okay, well, that's a good start.

132
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 2: Make it apply to every country, make it comprehensive, track it,

133
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:22,280
Speaker 2: enforce it, put in regulations to make sure that you know,

134
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 2: doctors can't circumvent it, hospitals can't circumvent it. That you know,

135
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 2: for that matter, midwives can't circumvent it. Make it a

136
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:36,680
Speaker 2: federal crime. But already a bilt to start. Yeah, yeah,

137
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 2: Option four. Think about the Northern Mariana Islands. House Republicans

138
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 2: give them a little bit of credit here. They've been

139
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:53,679
Speaker 2: raising concerns that birth tourism and the visa waser the visa,

140
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:58,960
Speaker 2: the visa waiver policies that exist in the Northern Mariana Islands.

141
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:04,439
Speaker 2: Which is a US terroris that those visa waiver requirements

142
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:08,439
Speaker 2: I've heard so many stories about this are being leveraged

143
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 2: by Chinese nationals in ways that present a clear national

144
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 2: security risk to US. So they have a separate visa

145
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 2: program that's separate from the mainland, and Chinese nationals can

146
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:27,440
Speaker 2: enter without any visa scrutiny. So American babies born to

147
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 2: Chinese women on the Mariana Islands, how many think we're

148
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 2: born in two thousand and nine eight, How many think

149
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 2: we're born in twenty sixteen, four hundred and seventy two.

150
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:45,560
Speaker 2: That's a fifty eight hundred percent increase in just seven years.

151
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 2: Congress could shut down that territorial loophole immediately, doesn't require

152
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:58,440
Speaker 2: constitutional argument. It's a territorial visa program. Just terminate it.

153
00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 2: Send the signal. There's a fifth option, just reform chain migration.

154
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:09,280
Speaker 2: Even if the court ultimately rules regardless of five to four,

155
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 2: seven to two nine zero, if they leave birthright citizenship

156
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:18,600
Speaker 2: fully intact, remember, Congress still retains absolute control over family

157
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:23,199
Speaker 2: based immigration preferences. So the anchor baby only becomes the

158
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:27,320
Speaker 2: anchor of a chain. If Congress allows the chain to exist,

159
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 2: Congress can eliminate They could radically restrict the family preference

160
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:38,360
Speaker 2: categories that currently allow naturalized citizen to sponsor parents, siblings, grandsparents,

161
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:43,679
Speaker 2: the in laws, everybody, extended family. Just get rid of it.

162
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 2: The rest of the family reunification chain is a statutory

163
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:53,040
Speaker 2: creation created by Congress. They can unwind Michael.

164
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:58,480
Speaker 4: But you're also failing to mention is those anchor babies

165
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:01,720
Speaker 4: can come back to United States once they're eighteen, and

166
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 4: once they're of age to serve in Congress, they can

167
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:07,080
Speaker 4: take over elected offices.

168
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 2: Didn't I go through I very specifically recall saying that

169
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 2: they go back to China, they get indoctrinated, And I

170
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:21,600
Speaker 2: know everybody don't listened to it. Man, I know you should,

171
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:24,679
Speaker 2: but you don't. You should listen to everything that I say.

172
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:27,439
Speaker 2: They go back to China, they get indoctrinated by the

173
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:31,280
Speaker 2: Chinese Communist Party. They wait until their twenty first birthday,

174
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:35,720
Speaker 2: and then they come back here and they become titans

175
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:39,040
Speaker 2: of industry. They become members of Congress, they become members

176
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 2: of the legislatures. They engaged in all sorts of law.

177
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:45,360
Speaker 2: They become members of the military. They I even said,

178
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:47,720
Speaker 2: they'll raise the rank of you know, a colonel, lieutenant, colonel,

179
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:50,680
Speaker 2: O general, a major, whatever, and they infiltrate their military.

180
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 2: They can run for Congress, they can do all of

181
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 2: that stuff. They can't run for president. Oh, wasn't listening.

182
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 2: What'd you say? Well, I don't expect you to listen.

183
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:07,880
Speaker 2: Expect them to listen. You know them out there better

184
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 2: than me. Yeah, because I really don't care whether you're

185
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 2: listen or not. Just get the name right and get

186
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:16,679
Speaker 2: the podcast posted, and you know, give the tickets right.

187
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:18,959
Speaker 2: That's all I care about you. That's all I care

188
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:26,559
Speaker 2: if I go back to the birthright citizenship because I

189
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 2: still have a couple of options. There's still two more

190
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 2: options I want to give you. But before I do,

191
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 2: I just quickly looked up the Court of Appeals decision

192
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:40,120
Speaker 2: in the Team of Peters case. They write the chief

193
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 2: Judge does Peters contends, that's the trial court vite that.

194
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:49,280
Speaker 2: Let me just say this about Teama Peters. First, I

195
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 2: think he's guilty of the underlying crime. However, I think

196
00:13:55,240 --> 00:14:00,680
Speaker 2: the judge in the case let his bias get in

197
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:05,760
Speaker 2: the way of the sentencing. Has nothing to do with

198
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 2: guilt or innocence. But I think the sentencing he was

199
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 2: trying to make a point. In fact, the court says,

200
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:18,319
Speaker 2: Peters contends that the trial court violated her First Amendment

201
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:21,320
Speaker 2: right under the US Constitution and her right under Article two,

202
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:26,440
Speaker 2: Section ten of the Colorado Constitution, because the trial court

203
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 2: punished her based on her protected speech regarding allegations of

204
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 2: election fraud. And we agree. The court cited the First

205
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:42,360
Speaker 2: Amendment and multiple cases that ruled. And this every first

206
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 2: year law student gets, well, maybe second year law student

207
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:50,040
Speaker 2: gets to know this. A judge cannot impose a harsher

208
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:57,560
Speaker 2: sentence based on constitutionally protected activity. You may be guilty

209
00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 2: of a crime, but in conduction in perpetrating that crime,

210
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:06,640
Speaker 2: if you exercise your writer free speech while you're you know,

211
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 2: assaulting somebody or you're breaking into somebody's home, which is

212
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 2: a crime, and you're found guilty of that. If you're

213
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:18,080
Speaker 2: screaming at the top of your lungs about you know,

214
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:21,200
Speaker 2: I think elections are fraud, and you know Trump won

215
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:24,440
Speaker 2: and somebody got cheated, and blah blah. That's protected speech

216
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 2: and a judge cannot take that into consideration in the sentencing.

217
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:35,520
Speaker 2: One news report says this, the appeals court ruled that

218
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 2: the lower court's comments about Peter's statements regarding election fraud

219
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:46,440
Speaker 2: quote went beyond relevant considerations for her sentencing, saying that

220
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:50,520
Speaker 2: her crime was not her beliefs, the crime was her actions.

221
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:53,600
Speaker 2: And the appeals court says that many of the district

222
00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:57,480
Speaker 2: judge's comments may have been legal and appropriate, but some

223
00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:03,000
Speaker 2: of the District Court's comments beyond what we're appropriate and

224
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:08,840
Speaker 2: can be interpreted quote only as the infliction of punishment

225
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:14,160
Speaker 2: because of Peter's beliefs and statements, the court said, and

226
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:18,400
Speaker 2: again I quote, it is apparent that the court imposed

227
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 2: the lengthy sentence it did because Peters continued to espouse

228
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 2: the views that led her to commit these crimes. For

229
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:30,120
Speaker 2: these reasons, we conclude that the trial court obviously aired

230
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:37,240
Speaker 2: by imposing sentence at least partially based on her protected speech. Wow,

231
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:42,560
Speaker 2: we gotta in Colorado, we gotta. We got a court

232
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:47,720
Speaker 2: following the law. What's next, We'll have a texture coming

233
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:52,040
Speaker 2: up with a new horrible thing to say about me.

234
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:55,640
Speaker 2: Well that doesn't take much. Well yeah, I shouldn't at least,

235
00:16:55,680 --> 00:17:00,560
Speaker 2: and it won't be original either. I just send the original,

236
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:04,240
Speaker 2: he could come after me become in something original. Back

237
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:11,639
Speaker 2: to birthright citizenship. So I've given you five options. Here's

238
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:16,359
Speaker 2: a sixth. One. We could restrict federal benefits to citizens

239
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:20,960
Speaker 2: by birthright of qualifying parents. It's just it's another statutory tool.

240
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:25,560
Speaker 2: If justn' even require tout touching or even coming coming

241
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:30,679
Speaker 2: close to citizenship determination at all. Congress could limit federal

242
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:36,640
Speaker 2: benefit eligibility, Medicaid, snap, social security, federal housing assistant, anything,

243
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:41,080
Speaker 2: anything in our social welfare system to only children born

244
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:47,040
Speaker 2: of citizens or lawful, lawful permanent residence status, regardless of

245
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:53,159
Speaker 2: the child's own citizenship status. The constitutional question about citizenship

246
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:58,199
Speaker 2: is a separate question about who is eligible for federal benefits.

247
00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:02,680
Speaker 2: Congress determines who eligible for federal benefits. Now, if that's

248
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:05,399
Speaker 2: not gonna limit the problem, don't get me wrong. But

249
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:12,040
Speaker 2: it reduces the magnet. You eliminate the welfare magnet, you

250
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:16,680
Speaker 2: reduce the incentive. It's back to econ economics one oh one.

251
00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:23,320
Speaker 2: You just apply economics to immigration policy. See, even a

252
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 2: dumb ass lawyer like me can come up with six.

253
00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:33,440
Speaker 2: But I got seven, and it's what I would call

254
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:39,960
Speaker 2: the nuclear option. A constitutional amendment. We haven't got you know,

255
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:44,200
Speaker 2: since the the Equal Rights Amendment, we really haven't gone

256
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:47,600
Speaker 2: through any sort of fun debate about a constitutional amendment.

257
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:51,240
Speaker 2: And I know, good luck getting thirty eight states stratify

258
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:55,959
Speaker 2: anything right now, right, But I'd be derelict as a

259
00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:58,199
Speaker 2: former law professor if I didn't at least mention it

260
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:02,680
Speaker 2: a tar. I get a constitutional amendment that redefines citizenship,

261
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:08,359
Speaker 2: limiting citizenship to children of citizens or lawful permanent residents,

262
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:13,840
Speaker 2: that takes away any question from traditional interpretation and puts

263
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:16,080
Speaker 2: it squarely in the hands of the American people through

264
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:20,680
Speaker 2: their state legislatures. That's the most durable solution, and it's

265
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:24,720
Speaker 2: the most democratically legitimate solution. It is also, in this

266
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:29,000
Speaker 2: current political environment, approximately as likely as a blizzard in

267
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:36,040
Speaker 2: Phoenix in July, or as likely as that's likely it's

268
00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:39,360
Speaker 2: the Rockey's going to the World Series this year. Yeah,

269
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:43,720
Speaker 2: but who knows. Put it on the table. Congress should

270
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 2: at least have the debate. Right, you give you and

271
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 2: I a chance to at least argue to Congress about

272
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:51,800
Speaker 2: what we think they ought to do. So here's why

273
00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:54,639
Speaker 2: I want you to understand about yesterday's argument before the

274
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:57,600
Speaker 2: Supreme Court. And here's the bottom line of what I

275
00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:01,200
Speaker 2: want you to take away from this entire conversation. The

276
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:06,040
Speaker 2: executive order was always and Trump knew this. It was

277
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:11,639
Speaker 2: the most fragile vehicle for this fight. Justice gore such

278
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:16,159
Speaker 2: a colorade. The Trump appointee pointed out that the executive

279
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:20,840
Speaker 2: order focuses on the parents, but the Fourteenth Amendment focuses

280
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:25,040
Speaker 2: on the birthright of the child. That's the fundamental structural

281
00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:28,639
Speaker 2: problem with the executive order approach. And I think the

282
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:33,879
Speaker 2: Court saw that immediately. But Professor Drschelwitz is right that

283
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:37,680
Speaker 2: neither side argue, but I think is the most important point. Yeah,

284
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:40,720
Speaker 2: the president can't rewrite the Constitution by executive voterable. Let's

285
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:44,080
Speaker 2: just take that. Let's just accept that, okay, And I

286
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:48,560
Speaker 2: think that seems even clearer from yesterday. But nobody's talking

287
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:52,800
Speaker 2: about the fact that Congress can absolutely define, through appropriate legislation,

288
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:57,280
Speaker 2: what it means to be quote subject to the jurisdiction

289
00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:01,920
Speaker 2: of the United States of the Fourteenth Amendment. The very

290
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:04,760
Speaker 2: people who wrote that citizenship clause, who wrote section five

291
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:09,640
Speaker 2: right behind it, the one that says Congress shall, Congress

292
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:13,000
Speaker 2: shall where's my where's my knowing that I want to

293
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:17,640
Speaker 2: read it verbatim. Congress shall have the power to enforce,

294
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 2: by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article. When we

295
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:29,240
Speaker 2: adopted the Amendment, we gave the power to Congress to

296
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:32,440
Speaker 2: tell us what it means. We just gave the framework,

297
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:37,840
Speaker 2: so Congress can absolutely define through legislation what it means

298
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:40,400
Speaker 2: to be subject to the jurisdiction of the United States.

299
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:43,960
Speaker 2: The Framers, the very people who wrote that clause, wrote

300
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:49,000
Speaker 2: section five right after that, write in it part of

301
00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:53,840
Speaker 2: the Amendment. And why because they understood that application of

302
00:21:53,880 --> 00:22:01,399
Speaker 2: constitutional principles to changing circumstances. That's a policy decision, and

303
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:06,199
Speaker 2: a policy decision is a legislative function, not solely a

304
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:10,720
Speaker 2: judicial function. Let me repeat that, because I think that's

305
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:16,640
Speaker 2: so important to understand. When the Amendment was adopted, the

306
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:20,800
Speaker 2: Framers knew that times would change. So when Chief Justice

307
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:24,800
Speaker 2: Roberts or when the Solicitor General says, yes, but the

308
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:28,560
Speaker 2: country has changed. Times have changed, and Chief Justice Robert

309
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:32,280
Speaker 2: says yes, but the Constitution has not, everybody just takes

310
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:35,720
Speaker 2: that and says, oh, well, the constitution is inflexible. It's

311
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:41,280
Speaker 2: nothing else. Well, we've put in different rules of past

312
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:44,000
Speaker 2: constitutional muster about the First Amendment, the Second Amendment, the

313
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:47,160
Speaker 2: Fourth Amendment, the Fifth Amendment, every stupid amendment we've got.

314
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:51,840
Speaker 2: Congress has stepped in and said, here's what that means. Now,

315
00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:55,359
Speaker 2: that would result in further litigation, because you know that

316
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:57,399
Speaker 2: those on the left, if we try to get rid

317
00:22:57,440 --> 00:22:59,600
Speaker 2: of birthright citizenship. Now, I'm going to let it go.

318
00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:07,200
Speaker 2: But at least we have some options. Do I need

319
00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:10,359
Speaker 2: to tell you how important the midterm elections are? Do

320
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:11,959
Speaker 2: I need to tell you how important it is that

321
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:15,000
Speaker 2: even state legislative races are if we end up with

322
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:18,320
Speaker 2: a constitutional amendment. Let's just say, let's just say that

323
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:21,879
Speaker 2: Congress UH sent a constitutional amendment down to the states.

324
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:27,080
Speaker 2: It seems pretty important who you elect for your state

325
00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:30,960
Speaker 2: representative and your state senator, doesn't it? Yes, see how

326
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:37,639
Speaker 2: this works. It's beautifully symmetrical. It's beautifully in our hands

327
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:41,400
Speaker 2: if we would just do it. We have an election

328
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:44,520
Speaker 2: coming out in Colorado. We have a we have a

329
00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:47,080
Speaker 2: we've got senate race. We got it. We've got a

330
00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:52,520
Speaker 2: good natorial race. Two parties running to be governor, the

331
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:55,800
Speaker 2: attorney general, secretary of state. We got all these state

332
00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:59,560
Speaker 2: representatives and all these state senators. We can actually do something.

333
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:03,320
Speaker 2: We just get off for assist and do it. So

334
00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:10,520
Speaker 2: the bottom line is this principle of birthright citizenship can

335
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:15,119
Speaker 2: be changed by Congress, and they can adapt to the

336
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:21,200
Speaker 2: changing circumstances and changing to the social and the political

337
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:24,679
Speaker 2: and the cultural circumstances of the day. That is a

338
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 2: legislative function that the framers of the fourteenth Amendment said specifically, Congress,

339
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:33,480
Speaker 2: now you go enact the laws. Why do you think,

340
00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:37,440
Speaker 2: for example, think about it in these terms. I keep

341
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:40,600
Speaker 2: talking about the Immigration and Naturalization Act of nineteen thirty four.

342
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:45,760
Speaker 2: Why do you think nobody's challenged that? Because the fourteenth

343
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:49,680
Speaker 2: Amendment said, when it came to citizenship and it came

344
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:53,960
Speaker 2: to immigration, that's in the purview. Well, actually the Constitution

345
00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:57,199
Speaker 2: and the fourteenth Amendment says that's in the purview of

346
00:24:57,200 --> 00:25:00,920
Speaker 2: the Congress. And in the fourteenth the Amendment, they very

347
00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:05,080
Speaker 2: specifically said, Congress, here's the amendment. Now you go enact

348
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:09,159
Speaker 2: enact laws to put in what you believe are the

349
00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:13,480
Speaker 2: meaning of this. So we're not a nation without recourse.

350
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:21,280
Speaker 2: What we are we're a nation without political will. Are

351
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:23,640
Speaker 2: there one hundred and ninety four countries on this planet?

352
00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:29,400
Speaker 2: Only thirty grant automatic citizenship to children born to illegal

353
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:35,359
Speaker 2: aliens of advanced economies. Canada and the United States are

354
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:39,800
Speaker 2: the only two. Not one single European country does so.

355
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:42,720
Speaker 2: The world's kind of figure this out, we have not,

356
00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:47,920
Speaker 2: because a cottage industry of legal advocates, open border ideologues,

357
00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:51,320
Speaker 2: and frankly, the political left has decided that turning the

358
00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:56,480
Speaker 2: Fourteenth Amendments magnificent promise to freed slaves and turn that

359
00:25:56,600 --> 00:26:00,159
Speaker 2: into an unlimited invitation to the world is somehow a

360
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:06,480
Speaker 2: noble cause. It is not noble. It is national suicide

361
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:12,320
Speaker 2: on the installment plan. So the Republic is not saved

362
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:17,560
Speaker 2: and it's not lost in one Supreme Court opinion. It's

363
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:22,400
Speaker 2: going to be saved or lost by whether Congress, in

364
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:26,720
Speaker 2: the weeks, the months, the year, whatever it is after

365
00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:30,720
Speaker 2: the opinion drops, has the courage to use the tools

366
00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:36,000
Speaker 2: that the Constitution itself put in their hands. The amendment

367
00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:39,800
Speaker 2: says Congress shall have the power. The question is whether

368
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:44,200
Speaker 2: we send to Congress people who have a spine, people

369
00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:47,240
Speaker 2: who have the willingness to stand up for what this

370
00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:51,959
Speaker 2: Republic is supposed to be, not a nation of immigrants

371
00:26:53,240 --> 00:27:00,760
Speaker 2: that somebody in Beijing decides you know what, as a

372
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:02,960
Speaker 2: member of the Chinese Communist Party, I think what I'll

373
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:06,440
Speaker 2: do is, I'll buy some surrogates in the United States,

374
00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:11,800
Speaker 2: and you know, I'll they'll drop a baby, and then

375
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:15,080
Speaker 2: that baby will have you a citizenship. I'll bring that

376
00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:19,359
Speaker 2: baby back home to Beijing. We'll indoctrinated into the Chinese

377
00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:22,840
Speaker 2: Communist Party principles. And then when the child turns eighteen

378
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:24,560
Speaker 2: or twenty one, we'll send a child back to the

379
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:30,040
Speaker 2: United States, maybe even before then, after they get indoctrinated

380
00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:34,360
Speaker 2: through you know, preschool and elementary and secondary education, then

381
00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:36,400
Speaker 2: we'll send them back and we'll get them admitted to Harvard,

382
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:39,480
Speaker 2: or we'll get them admitted to the University of Colorado

383
00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:43,119
Speaker 2: at Boulder, and we'll give them a really good higher

384
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:46,639
Speaker 2: education degree. And particularly if they go to Harvard or

385
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:49,800
Speaker 2: one of the Ivy League schools. And then they'll get

386
00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:53,600
Speaker 2: hired by Goldman Sachs, or they'll end up running for Congress.

387
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:56,000
Speaker 2: And wherever they choose to live, they'll find a nice

388
00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:59,800
Speaker 2: blue state like Colorado and Diana. Get will be old

389
00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:02,240
Speaker 2: and frail, and they'll run for Congress out of the

390
00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:09,800
Speaker 2: first congressional district in Colorado. A Chinese Communist operative, raised

391
00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:16,240
Speaker 2: and trained under the CCP in Beijing, comes here, goes

392
00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:18,320
Speaker 2: to see U Bold or gets a degree and I

393
00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:21,480
Speaker 2: don't know, mechanical electrical engineering or something. Maybe gets a

394
00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:25,400
Speaker 2: medical degree out of and shoots and then moves into

395
00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:28,280
Speaker 2: downtown Denver. Guys, it gets a really nice condo because

396
00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:30,480
Speaker 2: you know, they got lots of money in China, or

397
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:33,920
Speaker 2: at least the elites do, and it's a really nice

398
00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:38,280
Speaker 2: condo downtown, maybe a penthouse. And then starts working, you know,

399
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:42,840
Speaker 2: starts a business, maybe buys a business, starts operating, hires

400
00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:44,880
Speaker 2: a bunch of employees, becomes a member of the Denver

401
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:49,200
Speaker 2: Chamber of Commerce, and then decides, you know what I've

402
00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:53,160
Speaker 2: done with a bunch of philanthropic work, I've been an

403
00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:57,160
Speaker 2: upstanding citizen. I think now's my time to move in

404
00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:02,200
Speaker 2: and I'll start representing the first Congressional district of Colorado.

405
00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:08,120
Speaker 2: Colorado's already blue, so I'll just push it even further. Yeah,

406
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:11,320
Speaker 2: they're already the Blue States are already on the verge

407
00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:14,360
Speaker 2: of being totally Marxist anyway, So I'll just take it

408
00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:18,240
Speaker 2: one step further and I'll just push it over the edge.

409
00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:24,160
Speaker 2: That's the future we face and we have options, but

410
00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:29,600
Speaker 2: those options require and inform citizenry that's willing to stand

411
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:33,760
Speaker 2: up and engage in that battle and see that something's done.

412
00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:45,720
Speaker 2: And I know without even looking. Let me look real quickly. Hm, well,

413
00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:49,239
Speaker 2: just the typical stuff about you know. One of the

414
00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:51,760
Speaker 2: main reasons that Congress doesn't solve problems is that they

415
00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:54,719
Speaker 2: can fundraising campaign off that failure so they can be

416
00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:58,120
Speaker 2: out there fighting for you. Yeah, I've said that so

417
00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:01,720
Speaker 2: many times. They love you, They love you when it

418
00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:04,680
Speaker 2: comes to election time. They love God Mother and apple Pie.

419
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:07,040
Speaker 2: They salute the flag, they say the Pledge of Legions,

420
00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:09,360
Speaker 2: they sing the Star Spangled banner, They ask you for

421
00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:11,920
Speaker 2: a check, they ask you for your volunteer time, they

422
00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:13,640
Speaker 2: ask for all of that crap, and then they go

423
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:17,440
Speaker 2: back on what they do. Not a damn thing or

424
00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:23,240
Speaker 2: the exact opposite of what you want or put in

425
00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:25,680
Speaker 2: terms of this, goover number seventy eight, twenty seven. Mike,

426
00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:29,160
Speaker 2: I'm a naturalized citizen. I was adopted by an American

427
00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:33,600
Speaker 2: family legally, but I didn't get automatic citizenship. I had

428
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:36,880
Speaker 2: to follow the law. How is that fair? If the

429
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:40,280
Speaker 2: Left wants to screen fairness, how is it that you

430
00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:42,560
Speaker 2: know one of my best friends, best friend growing up

431
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:48,520
Speaker 2: that was a Presbyterian preacher. They adopted a young Korean

432
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:52,760
Speaker 2: orphan Amy. Her daughter is named after this girl, Amy.

433
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:59,240
Speaker 2: She's one of the most wonderful American citizens you'd ever know. Now,

434
00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:03,000
Speaker 2: her friend, my best friend in high schools, turned out

435
00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:06,720
Speaker 2: to be a somewhat well, let's just say, way over

436
00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:11,520
Speaker 2: there on the left, but she's remained a staunch conservative. Yes,

437
00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:16,720
Speaker 2: in South Korea, an American citizen, God bless Amy
