1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,599 Speaker 1: All right, Third hour, Clay and Buck kicks off. Now, 2 00:00:02,640 --> 00:00:05,320 Speaker 1: thank you for being with us. We've got some breaking 3 00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:11,079 Speaker 1: news for you. Not unexpected, but still breaking news. A 4 00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:18,160 Speaker 1: federal judge, John Cogan Hour. That's a tough one. I 5 00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:20,079 Speaker 1: don't know how to say that one to Clay. John 6 00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:27,800 Speaker 1: c Coogan Hour has let me see, sided with the states. 7 00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:34,720 Speaker 1: Basically here, the Trump executive order on birthright citizenship has 8 00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:38,720 Speaker 1: now been hit by a judge who says it is unconstant, 9 00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:44,239 Speaker 1: blatantly unconstitutional. You've also had twenty two states, along with 10 00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:48,680 Speaker 1: activist groups, filing lawsuits to halt the so called order. 11 00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:52,960 Speaker 1: They say it violates the Fourteenth Amendment. This is US 12 00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:57,160 Speaker 1: District Court for the Western District of Washington State. This 13 00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:02,960 Speaker 1: guy's a Reagan appointee, and he has said that, yeah, 14 00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:08,760 Speaker 1: this has been blocked, so temporarily blocked. This was to 15 00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:11,600 Speaker 1: be expected. And here here's where this is going to go. 16 00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:13,119 Speaker 1: It's going to go to the Supreme Court. I think 17 00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:15,119 Speaker 1: we all know that that's the plan. Just to be clear, 18 00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:20,200 Speaker 1: there's no surprise here. This is actually the process. You know, 19 00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:24,000 Speaker 1: this is what they were hoping the response would be, 20 00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:26,280 Speaker 1: or I shouldn't say hoping what they knew the response 21 00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:28,480 Speaker 1: would be, and now it'll make its way up to 22 00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:32,560 Speaker 1: the Supreme Court. Clay, It's it's going to be interesting. 23 00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:36,760 Speaker 1: I think that a lot of people who disagree with 24 00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:41,280 Speaker 1: Trump Trump's executive order on this issue, they think this 25 00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:44,400 Speaker 1: is just going to get swept aside by the Supreme 26 00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:47,080 Speaker 1: Court and that this is all it's all so clear. 27 00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:49,240 Speaker 2: Well, here's the problem. 28 00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:54,800 Speaker 1: The amendment in question, when you look at it, has 29 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,560 Speaker 1: what is effectively a redundancy with the subject to the 30 00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:03,440 Speaker 1: jurisdiction there of clause. And when you understand the history 31 00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:08,480 Speaker 1: of these kinds of laws and the way citizenship has 32 00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:13,920 Speaker 1: worked in many, many other countries, they're going to have 33 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,079 Speaker 1: to explain why they would add the subject. Because if 34 00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:19,600 Speaker 1: it's just you're born here, you're good, why do you 35 00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:21,480 Speaker 1: have to be subject to the jurisdiction thereof I mean, 36 00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:23,760 Speaker 1: because you're all right. If you're on us soil, of 37 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:28,160 Speaker 1: course you're subject to US jurisdiction at some level. That 38 00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:32,720 Speaker 1: point of again, those who agree with you and me 39 00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:36,600 Speaker 1: on what should happen here, that point of redundancy in 40 00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:40,000 Speaker 1: the amendment is what's going to get so much focused 41 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:44,560 Speaker 1: because you are subject to the jurisdiction of your actual 42 00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:48,239 Speaker 1: nationality while in the United States, and that would be 43 00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:54,320 Speaker 1: a conflicting, a conflicting jurisdiction. So this is where the issue, 44 00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:58,200 Speaker 1: I think becomes very much more complicated and a closer 45 00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:00,160 Speaker 1: affair than a lot of people realize. 46 00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:06,000 Speaker 3: So quick synopsis of where we are. Trump says birthright 47 00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:11,600 Speaker 3: citizenship is not in the Constitution. This judge, without reading 48 00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:15,639 Speaker 3: his order, I'm sure, is saying it is. And the dispute, 49 00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:19,080 Speaker 3: and this is going to sound like super legal nerd, 50 00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:23,120 Speaker 3: as you just laid out, comes down to the fourteenth Amendment. 51 00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:27,040 Speaker 3: And the reason that language is in there is because 52 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:32,920 Speaker 3: when Abraham Lincoln ended slavery with the Emancipation Proclamation, slaves 53 00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:36,600 Speaker 3: were not considered citizens of the United States in full 54 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:40,040 Speaker 3: sum total. Remember, for those of you who are history nerds, 55 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:42,880 Speaker 3: the Three Fifths compromise in terms of how to count 56 00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:47,320 Speaker 3: population for purposes of representation, as a part of the 57 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:51,360 Speaker 3: congressional battle, as part of the constitutional battles, all of 58 00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:54,520 Speaker 3: those different things are going to come into play, and 59 00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:57,440 Speaker 3: there are going to be two different aspects. I'm telling 60 00:03:57,520 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 3: you a preview of how this is eventually going to play, 61 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,480 Speaker 3: not only in the district court, but also on the 62 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:05,400 Speaker 3: Circuit court and then on the Supreme Court. There's going 63 00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:08,600 Speaker 3: to be an argument between people who say, Okay, what 64 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:12,720 Speaker 3: was the original intent of this amendment when it was 65 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:16,960 Speaker 3: put in place in eighteen sixty ratified in eighteen sixty 66 00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:21,320 Speaker 3: eight ish, whatever year that was, And then there are 67 00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:23,800 Speaker 3: others that are going to say, well, as it's been 68 00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 3: applied since then, we're not looking at the original intent. 69 00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:32,760 Speaker 3: We're considering the larger circumstances surrounding it. And that is 70 00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:38,520 Speaker 3: going to effectively be an argument over what exactly it means. 71 00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:40,720 Speaker 3: And I don't know how this is going to play out. 72 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:46,120 Speaker 3: I'm fascinated by it. Let me give you a hypothetical, Buck, 73 00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:47,960 Speaker 3: I don't know the answer. Some of you may be 74 00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:53,080 Speaker 3: scholars in this field. What happens the subject to the 75 00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:56,320 Speaker 3: jurisdiction of Let me give you a hypothetical, Buck, you 76 00:04:56,360 --> 00:05:00,280 Speaker 3: may have some idea on this. If you are here 77 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:04,240 Speaker 3: living and working at an embassy. Let's say you are 78 00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:07,560 Speaker 3: Russian and you are here in the United States, and 79 00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:10,000 Speaker 3: you are part of the staff at the Russian embassy. 80 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:15,280 Speaker 3: And while you are here as one of those workers 81 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:18,200 Speaker 3: at the Russian embassy, you have a baby in the 82 00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:23,719 Speaker 3: United States. Is your baby a United States citizen? I 83 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:26,240 Speaker 3: don't know, maybe some of you have experienced this. Obviously, 84 00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:28,160 Speaker 3: it doesn't have to be Russia. It could be Venezuela, 85 00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:32,160 Speaker 3: it could be Brazil, it could be China, because technically 86 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:37,240 Speaker 3: there's an argument that you are still a citizen of 87 00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:37,960 Speaker 3: another country. 88 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:38,160 Speaker 4: Right. 89 00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:40,080 Speaker 3: There are there cases on this. This is one of 90 00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:41,880 Speaker 3: the things that I'm fascinated by. 91 00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:44,279 Speaker 2: This is very interesting. 92 00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:47,760 Speaker 1: And keep in mind that this is where this becomes 93 00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:51,679 Speaker 1: more Again, I think people who a lot of people 94 00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:53,520 Speaker 1: think of this as just an open and shut thing 95 00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:55,520 Speaker 1: because it has been this way, so it will always 96 00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:56,039 Speaker 1: be this way. 97 00:05:56,080 --> 00:06:00,040 Speaker 2: I think I think that they are wrong if you 98 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,040 Speaker 2: you are the. 99 00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:06,120 Speaker 1: Children of like like, let's let's say the Russian ambassador to. 100 00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:11,039 Speaker 3: The US has a kid living in the United States 101 00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:12,719 Speaker 3: as the ambassador. 102 00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:15,359 Speaker 1: You know, his wife, who is also on the on 103 00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:18,760 Speaker 1: the diplomatic list. There's these sort of clear designations of 104 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:22,000 Speaker 1: who is a you know, a a duly, a duly 105 00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:25,760 Speaker 1: registered and uh and recognized diplomat. 106 00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:28,320 Speaker 2: That child is not a US citizen. 107 00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:34,000 Speaker 1: Okay, But if you are not a technically on the 108 00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:38,720 Speaker 1: DIP list to the diplomat list, and you are staff 109 00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:39,800 Speaker 1: in the consulate. 110 00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:43,640 Speaker 2: I believe the way it has gone. 111 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:47,200 Speaker 1: Is like so the so, the like lower level person 112 00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:50,880 Speaker 1: working at the Russian embassy that's not technically a diplomat. 113 00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:54,280 Speaker 1: They have a child here, that child is treated as 114 00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:55,000 Speaker 1: a US citizen. 115 00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:56,200 Speaker 2: That's kind of sense. 116 00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:58,760 Speaker 3: And I don't know how how the implication that that's 117 00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:01,080 Speaker 3: that's fascinating if true. And let me give you the 118 00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:04,359 Speaker 3: opposite right and some of you have probably experienced this, 119 00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:07,640 Speaker 3: who are listening to us right now. If you are 120 00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:12,200 Speaker 3: married or have a baby on a base in South 121 00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:17,120 Speaker 3: Korea or a base in Germany stationed while being an 122 00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:23,800 Speaker 3: American overseas, your child is not a citizen of South 123 00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:28,840 Speaker 3: Korea or Germany. Those countries don't convey citizenship based on 124 00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:34,200 Speaker 3: birthright location. Now that's a little bit different, maybe because 125 00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:38,840 Speaker 3: of the military service. But let's say that you went 126 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:42,840 Speaker 3: overseas and you're living in Japan and your wife gets 127 00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:46,440 Speaker 3: pregnant there, and you guys have kids in Japan. Your 128 00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:48,680 Speaker 3: kids are not Japanese. It's very hard to become a 129 00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:53,160 Speaker 3: Japanese citizen. In other words, birth tourism or just births 130 00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:55,560 Speaker 3: that happen to happen because of jobs do not convey 131 00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:58,360 Speaker 3: citizenship most of the places around the world. 132 00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:03,480 Speaker 1: Remember that there are thou and thousands of birth tourism 133 00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:06,920 Speaker 1: cases that happen in the US every year. It's illegal, 134 00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:09,840 Speaker 1: and the companies and the people involved in this can 135 00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:16,080 Speaker 1: be federally prosecuted for enabling this. But if the judge, 136 00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:18,840 Speaker 1: let's say this judge in Washington State, if what he 137 00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:23,240 Speaker 1: says is actually the law, and remember this has never 138 00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:25,720 Speaker 1: been ruled, tot's say it's blatantly unconstitutional. The Supreme Court 139 00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:28,440 Speaker 1: has never ruled on this. That has not actually happened. 140 00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:30,760 Speaker 3: They have not No one has ever tried to say 141 00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:34,080 Speaker 3: birthright citizenship is not legal as Trump is doing to 142 00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:38,439 Speaker 3: promote provoke this is what he's doing, provoke a constitutional 143 00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:40,480 Speaker 3: examination and challenge. This is the intent. 144 00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:42,040 Speaker 1: Yes, And a big part of this is, you know, 145 00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:47,760 Speaker 1: you can fly here from you know, Chile or Bangladesh 146 00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:49,240 Speaker 1: or wherever in a day. 147 00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:49,719 Speaker 2: Right. 148 00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:52,880 Speaker 1: It's a very different thing you think about when these 149 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:57,920 Speaker 1: laws were under consideration. It wasn't something that people nobody 150 00:08:57,960 --> 00:08:59,800 Speaker 1: was going to come here for a few weeks from 151 00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:02,880 Speaker 1: Shanghai to happen. Like if they came here, they were 152 00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:03,720 Speaker 1: staying here. 153 00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:04,600 Speaker 2: Back when these. 154 00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:08,240 Speaker 1: You know, you go back before, you know, mass commercial 155 00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:12,160 Speaker 1: air travel was was the standard around the world, So 156 00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:15,320 Speaker 1: things have changed a lot. That's that's one part of this. 157 00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:17,199 Speaker 1: But the other part of this is, if this federal 158 00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:21,040 Speaker 1: judge in Washington is correct, somebody who comes here from 159 00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:24,400 Speaker 1: Beijing and their cases of exactly this happening. This isn't 160 00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:28,079 Speaker 1: just some wild hypothetical. Somebody who comes here from Beijing 161 00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:31,559 Speaker 1: for the explicit purpose of staying in a bird tourism 162 00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:37,320 Speaker 1: hotel in San Francisco, gives birth to their child here 163 00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:41,800 Speaker 1: in the US, goes back to China with their child, 164 00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:45,800 Speaker 1: raises them until they're you know, eighteen years old, and 165 00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:49,080 Speaker 1: then says, hey, I want my US passport. 166 00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:49,439 Speaker 5: Now. 167 00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:52,640 Speaker 1: My child is a US citizen, the same as all 168 00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:57,800 Speaker 1: of you Americans, the same rights, the same everything. I 169 00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:01,960 Speaker 1: demand this. Now, if that judge and Washington is correct, 170 00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:04,680 Speaker 1: then this person this you know, this hypothetical both but 171 00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:08,280 Speaker 1: it happens all the time of the Chinese national whose 172 00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:11,400 Speaker 1: parents are Chinese nationals gets to say, well, now this 173 00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:12,520 Speaker 1: is a US citizen. 174 00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:14,360 Speaker 2: I don't think that that. 175 00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:16,400 Speaker 1: I don't think that anybody looks at that and says 176 00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:19,200 Speaker 1: that makes sense. I also think that anybody looking at 177 00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:22,320 Speaker 1: people who come across the border illegally and say, hey, 178 00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:26,000 Speaker 1: I need asylum, and then their asylum claim is turned 179 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,520 Speaker 1: down because they were lying. But they had a kid 180 00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:30,600 Speaker 1: in the interim of the year or two or whatever 181 00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:33,320 Speaker 1: it is, they waited for their asylum hearing. They have 182 00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:35,440 Speaker 1: a US citizen child. Now that makes sense. 183 00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:39,480 Speaker 3: How does that make sense? It's a great question. And 184 00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:41,320 Speaker 3: let me just tell you how this is going to go. 185 00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:45,880 Speaker 3: I don't think it's coincidental that the first judge to 186 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:49,719 Speaker 3: strike this down is in a blue state. I think 187 00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:55,240 Speaker 3: this is calculated. I this will then lead to the 188 00:10:55,360 --> 00:11:01,480 Speaker 3: Ninth Circuit taking this case up. The Ninth Circuit is 189 00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:03,320 Speaker 3: going to I'm just telling you how it's going to go. 190 00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:07,240 Speaker 3: The Ninth Circuit is going to say that Trump's birthright 191 00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:12,200 Speaker 3: citizenship order is unconstitutional. Now, there may be so called 192 00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:17,720 Speaker 3: circuit conflicts. That is, I live in Tennessee in the 193 00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:23,600 Speaker 3: sixth Circuit, and that is Tennessee, Kentucky, Ohio, among other states. 194 00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:25,319 Speaker 3: I used to know this way better when I did 195 00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:28,679 Speaker 3: the bar exam, and the sixth Circuit may well have 196 00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:32,880 Speaker 3: a different interpretation. There will probably you're going to get confused. 197 00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:34,880 Speaker 3: Many of you, because there's going to be so many 198 00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:39,840 Speaker 3: headlines about so many different rulings. Different circuit courts will 199 00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:44,120 Speaker 3: have different perspectives. That conflict will then lead to the 200 00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:47,360 Speaker 3: Supreme Court, and ultimately the nine justices of the Supreme 201 00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:52,160 Speaker 3: Court will decide what the Fourteenth Amendment means in the 202 00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:56,080 Speaker 3: context of birthright citizenship. Now, there are a lot I 203 00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:58,920 Speaker 3: was talking about this with my wife last night, super 204 00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:02,440 Speaker 3: exciting converse station in the Travis household. She's also a lawyer. 205 00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:06,560 Speaker 3: One of the things that has to be applied here 206 00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:09,840 Speaker 3: is Buck, what do you do about all of the 207 00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:15,199 Speaker 3: people that have been granted birthright citizenship already? So this 208 00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:19,200 Speaker 3: would have to be a forward looking process, right. 209 00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:22,160 Speaker 1: I don't think you could take away citizenship from people 210 00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:25,800 Speaker 1: who currently have citizenship, and I would not think that's 211 00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:28,199 Speaker 1: going to happen. And I think that that's too I 212 00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:30,439 Speaker 1: think that that's unfair, that's problematic. I don't think you 213 00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:32,760 Speaker 1: could do that, but I do think you need clarity 214 00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:33,960 Speaker 1: on this going forward. 215 00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:37,440 Speaker 3: I agree. The challenge is then people will have equal 216 00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:42,280 Speaker 3: protection claims because if you had citizenship granted and you 217 00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:45,880 Speaker 3: were born in twenty twenty three, and then the Supreme 218 00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:48,240 Speaker 3: Court comes down with a ruling and you were born 219 00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:51,520 Speaker 3: in twenty twenty six, the people born in twenty twenty 220 00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:53,840 Speaker 3: six are going to sue and say they have an 221 00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:56,880 Speaker 3: equal protection claim. Again, that's just where. 222 00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:59,720 Speaker 1: But again, the statutes change, and you don't get to say, 223 00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:02,880 Speaker 1: you know, if something is made illegal that wasn't illegal before, 224 00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:07,320 Speaker 1: you don't get to say, well, you know, you guys change, 225 00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:09,400 Speaker 1: you know, you see what I'm saying like that, there 226 00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:11,920 Speaker 1: can be changes, totally understand. 227 00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:14,360 Speaker 3: I'm just I'm just saying this is gonna be a 228 00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:17,400 Speaker 3: multi year battle. I give Trump credit because I think 229 00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:19,800 Speaker 3: he's right on it, and I think it's an important action. 230 00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:22,520 Speaker 3: I'm just saying this is not something for people out 231 00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:24,320 Speaker 3: there who think that it's like a light switch, like 232 00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:26,000 Speaker 3: you flip it, and it's like, this is going to 233 00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:29,560 Speaker 3: go on. The challenges to this for multiple years, and 234 00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:34,679 Speaker 3: I don't have a strong take on exactly how how 235 00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:37,320 Speaker 3: they're going to be able to handle. I think it's 236 00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:40,000 Speaker 3: one of the this is I always like to say, 237 00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:44,280 Speaker 3: this is a perfect law school hypothetical, and law school 238 00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:47,200 Speaker 3: exams are basically they give you a bunch of hypotheticals 239 00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:50,640 Speaker 3: and you have to analyze it and nobody knows exactly 240 00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:54,040 Speaker 3: what the right answer is until those nine justices ultimately 241 00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:56,000 Speaker 3: render their opinions, which I can't wait to read. 242 00:13:57,160 --> 00:14:00,400 Speaker 1: Yes, so we'll see if you have thoughts on this one. 243 00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:02,480 Speaker 1: By the way, love to take your calls on it. 244 00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:07,840 Speaker 1: It's a very important issue. It's a very contentious issue. 245 00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:11,640 Speaker 1: But it really goes to whether America is a country 246 00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:16,000 Speaker 1: with borders, laws and sovereignty or not. Because if our 247 00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:19,760 Speaker 1: law requires that you can game the system and get 248 00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:22,480 Speaker 1: away with it, it makes a mockery of the whole thing, 249 00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:24,320 Speaker 1: doesn't it. And what does it mean to be a 250 00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:27,360 Speaker 1: citizen in the world that we described where people can 251 00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:31,000 Speaker 1: come here, just have a baby here, leave and then 252 00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:33,520 Speaker 1: twenty or thirty or whatever years later say, yeah, I'm 253 00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:35,720 Speaker 1: an American just like all of you. I'm the same 254 00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:38,000 Speaker 1: as all of you, even though I didn't have American 255 00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:42,160 Speaker 1: parents and didn't live in America. My friend's Inflation is 256 00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:45,600 Speaker 1: still a big problem something we have to continue to 257 00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:48,120 Speaker 1: contest with. It means the cost of things you're buying 258 00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:50,520 Speaker 1: every day are going up faster than the wages that 259 00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:52,480 Speaker 1: you were in It also means our government can't pay 260 00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:55,000 Speaker 1: all their bills without printing more money. The dollars in 261 00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:57,280 Speaker 1: your savings account are going to be worth less year in, 262 00:14:57,440 --> 00:14:59,400 Speaker 1: year out, same as the dollars in your four to 263 00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:01,960 Speaker 1: one case. So how can you protect the value of 264 00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:04,920 Speaker 1: our savings account from further eroding? You invest a portion 265 00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:06,880 Speaker 1: of it in gold. That's the single best way for 266 00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:09,640 Speaker 1: you to protect the value of your savings account in 267 00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:11,000 Speaker 1: four oh one K, especially if you've got a four 268 00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:12,720 Speaker 1: oh one K you're not really doing much with, maybe 269 00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:15,360 Speaker 1: from an old job that's just been sitting there. Going 270 00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:17,920 Speaker 1: with gold and silver is the way to go. Birch 271 00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,880 Speaker 1: Gold is who we suggest you work with.

Appreciate all 284 00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:00,760 Speaker 3: of you hanging out with us. We're talking about the 285 00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:08,400 Speaker 3: confirmation battles that are underway. Lisa Murkowski has announced in 286 00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:12,760 Speaker 3: the last twenty or thirty minutes that she will not 287 00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:17,960 Speaker 3: be supporting Pete Hegseeth and his nomination for Defense Secretary. 288 00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:22,680 Speaker 3: That means that one Republican is off the board. Heg 289 00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:27,120 Speaker 3: Seth can afford to lose three total. Jad Vance can 290 00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:30,440 Speaker 3: break a fifty to fifty tie to put heg Seth 291 00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:33,880 Speaker 3: in as Defense Secretary. Buck, I would just say this, 292 00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:35,280 Speaker 3: and I know we got a lot of people who 293 00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:37,680 Speaker 3: listen in Alaska because I hear from you guys. In fact, 294 00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:40,160 Speaker 3: you've been to Alaska. I want to take a trip 295 00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:43,160 Speaker 3: up there. That may be a summer destination for the 296 00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:46,840 Speaker 3: Travis family. I really want to go to me. This 297 00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:49,800 Speaker 3: would be a Lisa Murkowski never gets my vote again 298 00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:53,240 Speaker 3: kind of situation in Alaska. Like it is a red state. 299 00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:58,320 Speaker 3: Trump won Alaska overwhelmingly. Trump deserves the right to pick 300 00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:01,480 Speaker 3: the person that he wants to be Defense Secretary. And 301 00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:04,719 Speaker 3: if the senator from red state Alaska is not voting 302 00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:07,199 Speaker 3: for it. That would be a no for me on 303 00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:09,800 Speaker 3: her going forward. I'm just speaking if I were in 304 00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:13,200 Speaker 3: Alaskan personally, that stands out to me. I think Trump 305 00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:16,040 Speaker 3: deserves his nominees to get confirmed by Republican senators. 306 00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:17,160 Speaker 2: I agree with. 307 00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:19,959 Speaker 1: That sentiment, and I would just add I think that 308 00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:24,560 Speaker 1: Mitch McConnell is a likely no vote as well, would 309 00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:26,800 Speaker 1: be my I'm guessing now. I mean people have been 310 00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:29,760 Speaker 1: reporting on this both ways. I think Mitch McConnell is 311 00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:31,840 Speaker 1: probably not gonna because they can't. 312 00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:32,800 Speaker 2: He doesn't care. They're not. 313 00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:35,639 Speaker 1: No one's gonna do anything to Mitch McConnell and politically, 314 00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:38,240 Speaker 1: and I think Susan Collins is going to be tough too. 315 00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:41,520 Speaker 3: So Susan Collins Buck, I'll say, makes more sense to 316 00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:44,440 Speaker 3: me because she represents a blue state, so she has 317 00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:47,040 Speaker 3: to be more moderate in some ways. That's a rational 318 00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:51,000 Speaker 3: choice by her. Murkowski, to me, is a poor decision 319 00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:53,359 Speaker 3: and Alaskan should be thinking about it when they go 320 00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:54,200 Speaker 3: to ballad boxes. 321 00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:58,280 Speaker 1: Wireless cell phone carriers with retail stores like to lure 322 00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:00,680 Speaker 1: you in with the deal of the century, a free 323 00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:02,600 Speaker 1: cell phone waiting for you and the only thing you 324 00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:04,280 Speaker 1: have to do is sign one hundred dollars a month 325 00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:08,000 Speaker 1: in sell service charges, but Puretalk offers a much better deal. 326 00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:10,520 Speaker 1: With a qualifying plan of just forty five dollars a month, 327 00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:13,439 Speaker 1: you can get a free Samsung Galaxy and yes, this 328 00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:16,560 Speaker 1: is for premium service, unlimited talk, text, twenty five gigs 329 00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:19,280 Speaker 1: of data, and mobile hotspot at a fraction of the 330 00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:21,600 Speaker 1: price of the big guys.

As we know, 342 00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:57,440 Speaker 1: the breaking news from this hour is that a federal 343 00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:03,960 Speaker 1: judge in Washington has stopped Trump's executive order for now 344 00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:08,800 Speaker 1: on birthright citizenship. Very important issue. Going to take a 345 00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:11,560 Speaker 1: long time for this to be resolved. It's going to 346 00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:14,240 Speaker 1: require a lot of wrangling in the courts and in 347 00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:15,879 Speaker 1: the court of public opinion too. 348 00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:17,280 Speaker 2: It's going to be a lot of arguing about this. 349 00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:19,720 Speaker 1: We've got a lot of calls lighting us up. Also 350 00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:21,720 Speaker 1: some VIP emails coming in. Wanted to get some of 351 00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:25,800 Speaker 1: your calls now, Mike in Augusta, Georgia, you have an 352 00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:28,119 Speaker 1: interesting experience you want to tell us about. Go for it. 353 00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:32,080 Speaker 7: Yeah, I was in the Navy station in Athens, Greece. 354 00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:37,440 Speaker 7: I'm a retired chief and met my wife there. She's British. 355 00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:39,320 Speaker 7: There was no way that she was going to have 356 00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:42,040 Speaker 7: kids down there. She wanted to go home and had 357 00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:45,800 Speaker 7: the children. So she goes home July of eighty nine 358 00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:49,600 Speaker 7: as the girl December of ninety has a boy. We 359 00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:52,760 Speaker 7: go to leave and they give us both birth certificates, 360 00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:56,560 Speaker 7: American and British. I don't know if the British one 361 00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:59,879 Speaker 7: was a souvenir, but those kids have two birth certificates. 362 00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:02,560 Speaker 3: So now your wife is British, right, so that would 363 00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:03,040 Speaker 3: make sense. 364 00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:05,240 Speaker 1: Well, this is what I was gonna say, is that 365 00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:07,920 Speaker 1: is that that makes sense from the subject, Mike, your 366 00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:11,879 Speaker 1: military abroad, your subject to u CMJ and the jurisdiction 367 00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:14,880 Speaker 1: of the United States clearly, so that's of course your 368 00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:18,520 Speaker 1: child born abrably you're deployed, is an American and your 369 00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:21,600 Speaker 1: wife being British and having her child in the UK. 370 00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:24,639 Speaker 1: You know, people can have dual citizenship. We know this, 371 00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:28,800 Speaker 1: so that to me it has there. So does your 372 00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:31,399 Speaker 1: your kids have two birth certificates? Couldn't they get an 373 00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:32,480 Speaker 1: EU passport though? 374 00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:39,159 Speaker 3: I assume so, Yeah, certainly, certainly they could get an 375 00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:43,880 Speaker 3: EU passport. In fact, some countries are very lenient in 376 00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:47,840 Speaker 3: granting EU passports. For instance, you can pay like I 377 00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:51,320 Speaker 3: think several hundred thousand dollars in Malta will give you 378 00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:53,840 Speaker 3: a EU passport you can get You can even buy 379 00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:57,040 Speaker 3: dual citizenship in some of these countries. But yeah, I 380 00:20:57,040 --> 00:20:59,680 Speaker 3: mean if if the kids applied, they could get a 381 00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:02,440 Speaker 3: British passport as well, because they're I mean their mom's British. 382 00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:06,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, so yeah, Mike, that all makes sense. Thank you. 383 00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:08,360 Speaker 2: Do you have any thoughts on this? You wanted to add? 384 00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:08,840 Speaker 3: Are you good? 385 00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:11,879 Speaker 2: I'll just let me know. 386 00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:12,040 Speaker 5: No. 387 00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:13,840 Speaker 1: Cool. We wanted to hear about the experience. Thank you 388 00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:16,320 Speaker 1: so much, Susan in Ohio. 389 00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:18,359 Speaker 2: This is interesting. Go ahead, Susan. 390 00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:24,480 Speaker 1: Hello, Yes, you were you were a PI and you 391 00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:26,800 Speaker 1: have some interesting experience on this issue. 392 00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:27,320 Speaker 7: Go for it. 393 00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:31,760 Speaker 5: Yeah. I've been licenses here in Ohile for over thirty years. 394 00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:35,800 Speaker 5: I have a client in Taiwan and up until about 395 00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:40,320 Speaker 5: four years ago, they had me collecting medical records in 396 00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:45,160 Speaker 5: California and the women that were flying in from China 397 00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:48,720 Speaker 5: to give birth, they didn't stay for a month. They 398 00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:50,920 Speaker 5: would come when they were like eight and a half 399 00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:54,320 Speaker 5: months pregnant, right, they would stay for a month after 400 00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:59,040 Speaker 5: delivery and then go back home. And that is considered 401 00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:02,200 Speaker 5: a citizen. And when they're eighteen, they can come back 402 00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:04,000 Speaker 5: and bring their family with them. 403 00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:04,600 Speaker 2: Right. 404 00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:06,480 Speaker 1: That's another part of it that's very important that I 405 00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:09,040 Speaker 1: left out of this is that then the US citizen 406 00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:12,520 Speaker 1: child sponsors the whole family, which is why the birth 407 00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:15,200 Speaker 1: tourism thing is so worthwhile. I said, you know, yeah, 408 00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:17,200 Speaker 1: you get your passport and you can you know, you're 409 00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:18,800 Speaker 1: an American citizen and you can go to you know, 410 00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:20,639 Speaker 1: cal Berkeley in state tuition whatever. 411 00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:26,160 Speaker 2: You then it's kind of the the wow. 412 00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:29,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean this is this is the the ways 413 00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:30,840 Speaker 1: that people are scamming the system. 414 00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:35,520 Speaker 5: Susan, Well, yeah, I did. I get over eighty cases. 415 00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:40,200 Speaker 5: And with the insurance company in China was really upset 416 00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:43,000 Speaker 5: because these people would come here. They're not allowed even 417 00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:47,120 Speaker 5: to fly after seven months, and they would they would 418 00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:49,760 Speaker 5: hire a company there in China that would make the 419 00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:52,840 Speaker 5: arrangements about where they were going to stay well at 420 00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:56,160 Speaker 5: the hospital, they'd go to the doctor and everything. They 421 00:22:56,240 --> 00:23:00,199 Speaker 5: paid thirty thousand dollars these companies in China, and then 422 00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:03,640 Speaker 5: they would come and they would see a doctor once 423 00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:08,680 Speaker 5: a week for maybe tour or three visits and pay 424 00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:12,159 Speaker 5: the doctor's twenty five hundred dollars cash. They would go 425 00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:15,600 Speaker 5: to the hospital. The average two day bill was forty 426 00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:20,239 Speaker 5: eight thousand dollars and they would plead poverty so they 427 00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:23,920 Speaker 5: would pay five thousand dollars and the people in California 428 00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:26,200 Speaker 5: had to pay the rest. 429 00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:29,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, thank you for the call. And this is super important, Buck, 430 00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:32,600 Speaker 3: because it goes to when I say they're going to 431 00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:38,120 Speaker 3: have to analyze the fourteenth Amendment. Remember in eighteen sixty eight, 432 00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:42,000 Speaker 3: you couldn't just decide when you were, as the caller 433 00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:43,959 Speaker 3: just said, when you were eight months pregnant. 434 00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:45,280 Speaker 2: This is what I meant about the planes. 435 00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:46,959 Speaker 1: You can't you can't get here eight and a half 436 00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:49,560 Speaker 1: months pregnant from Shanghai. Come here for a few weeks 437 00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:51,960 Speaker 1: and go back. You know, a steamship was a big deal. 438 00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:56,840 Speaker 3: The idea of intentionally coming for a short period of 439 00:23:56,880 --> 00:24:00,000 Speaker 3: time to have a baby after you were already pregnant 440 00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:05,680 Speaker 3: was not technologically feasible when the fourteenth Amendment was passed. 441 00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:07,920 Speaker 1: And I can tell you from my time at the 442 00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:11,960 Speaker 1: border and with border patrol, with this asylum, with these 443 00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:14,439 Speaker 1: so called they're fake asylum cases by those people are 444 00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:16,960 Speaker 1: eighty ninety percent of them or total scams on the 445 00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:21,800 Speaker 1: asylum system. But a lot of pregnant, eight months pregnant 446 00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:24,880 Speaker 1: women showing up at the US Mexico border from all 447 00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:27,040 Speaker 1: over the world for obvious reasons. 448 00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:30,280 Speaker 3: Yes, And look, the other thing here to say is 449 00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:36,159 Speaker 3: we create the incentive. You can't get upset at people 450 00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:39,760 Speaker 3: for taking advantage of the incentive that you created. It 451 00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:42,440 Speaker 3: is acting as a magnet. We say this, but it's important. 452 00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:45,280 Speaker 3: There are two reasons why people come here. One is 453 00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:49,680 Speaker 3: our economy is better than any in the world because 454 00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:54,600 Speaker 3: of its historical embrace of capitalism, and whatever salary you 455 00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:57,880 Speaker 3: make here is way more than the average person could 456 00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:01,600 Speaker 3: make in Venezuela. So the poor person here is living 457 00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:04,159 Speaker 3: far better than the poor person in almost any country 458 00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:06,760 Speaker 3: in the world. So economic incentive is real. And I've 459 00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:09,160 Speaker 3: always said this, Buck, a lot of you out there 460 00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:12,040 Speaker 3: listening to us right now. If you could make ten 461 00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:15,520 Speaker 3: x your salary, if you went to Mexico, a lot 462 00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:17,200 Speaker 3: of you would go to Mexico. And if you could 463 00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:19,560 Speaker 3: make ten x your salary, if you went to Canada, 464 00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:22,600 Speaker 3: a lot of you would go to Canada. Economics, a 465 00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:25,080 Speaker 3: lot of you will change states if you can make 466 00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:27,520 Speaker 3: more money, If you can make twenty percent more money. Right, 467 00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:29,320 Speaker 3: economic concentives are real. 468 00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:32,920 Speaker 1: But part of this, also, Clay, is that. And I 469 00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:36,760 Speaker 1: think there's been an awakening among the American people, and 470 00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:41,639 Speaker 1: particularly even on the right, about this. What makes America Americas, 471 00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:45,080 Speaker 1: the American people, It's not just this piece of land, 472 00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:49,000 Speaker 1: It's not just an economic zone. It is we, the 473 00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:54,399 Speaker 1: culch people. There is something about americanness, how we do things, 474 00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:58,400 Speaker 1: what our culture is, the way that we operate, our history, 475 00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:01,960 Speaker 1: are ties to each other and to this country. All 476 00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:04,399 Speaker 1: of that, I mean, it is an incredibly complicated and 477 00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:09,120 Speaker 1: incredibly powerful thing. And to cheapen it by just saying, 478 00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:11,159 Speaker 1: you know, it's a free for all. Anyone could show up. 479 00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:13,280 Speaker 1: Everyone who gets here is the same everyone. You know, 480 00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:16,080 Speaker 1: obey our laws, don't obey our laws. Have a kid 481 00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:18,080 Speaker 1: here for a week, and then go back to China 482 00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:19,919 Speaker 1: and then come back later with the whole family and 483 00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:23,479 Speaker 1: say you're Americans too. People are tired of this, and 484 00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:26,720 Speaker 1: they also recognize that if it continues, this will not 485 00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:30,320 Speaker 1: be America, this will be another country. Some smaller European 486 00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:32,639 Speaker 1: countries have figured this out the hard way. You know, 487 00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:38,080 Speaker 1: is Sweden really Sweden if it imports a million refugees 488 00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:41,280 Speaker 1: and a half a million Syrian refugees and they don't 489 00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:43,880 Speaker 1: learn the language, they don't share the culture. That well, 490 00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:47,119 Speaker 1: Sweden's only got ten million people. And the refugees are 491 00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:50,440 Speaker 1: having a much larger, faster, you know, much faster family 492 00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:53,920 Speaker 1: growth than the natives are. Guess what, your country starts 493 00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:56,360 Speaker 1: to be a different place. And people feel that here 494 00:26:56,359 --> 00:26:58,239 Speaker 1: in America and they're tired of it. 495 00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:03,399 Speaker 3: Correct, And that is one is the draw economically. The 496 00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:06,120 Speaker 3: second one is the one that you can control. Now 497 00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:08,160 Speaker 3: you can put more security at the border and try 498 00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:10,680 Speaker 3: to restrict in gressigress all those things which we're doing. 499 00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:15,240 Speaker 3: Second one, though, is birthright citizenship, and it needs to be, 500 00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:19,000 Speaker 3: in my opinion, removed. Now we'll see what the Supreme 501 00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:20,520 Speaker 3: Court is going to say. I know a lot of 502 00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:23,240 Speaker 3: federal district courts are going to disagree with me, some 503 00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:25,720 Speaker 3: circuit courts are going to agree, some are going to disagree. 504 00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:28,160 Speaker 3: But ultimately it's going to come down to the nine 505 00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:30,720 Speaker 3: men and women sitting on the Supreme Court. Here's the 506 00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:34,000 Speaker 3: question my wife asked, which is a good one? Your 507 00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:36,920 Speaker 3: point is, I think a very solid one, Buck, because 508 00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:40,680 Speaker 3: what it ultimately leads to is, if what you argued 509 00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:44,640 Speaker 3: isn't true, why do countries have borders at all? Why 510 00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:48,320 Speaker 3: do we have countries? I mean, why not just one 511 00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:52,000 Speaker 3: big map and people can just go anywhere they want 512 00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:55,400 Speaker 3: in the world. What is the significance of a border? 513 00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:59,159 Speaker 3: What is the significance of a cultural choice of a 514 00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:00,879 Speaker 3: country we have? 515 00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:03,600 Speaker 1: And this gets to some This gets to some some 516 00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:12,159 Speaker 1: deep uh foundational issues of patriotism along with nationality. You know, 517 00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:14,960 Speaker 1: this came up recently with the and it was on 518 00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:17,840 Speaker 1: the right that this debate was happening with h one 519 00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:21,880 Speaker 1: B visas and how it is largely now abused and 520 00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:24,639 Speaker 1: a scam, and some people didn't seem to know that, 521 00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:27,879 Speaker 1: and they got very mouthy about H one B visas 522 00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:32,439 Speaker 1: publicly without understanding what was really going on. But you know, 523 00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:36,040 Speaker 1: when you look at core issues of patriotism, if if 524 00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:38,600 Speaker 1: this country was invaded by a foreign doesn't matter what 525 00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:40,560 Speaker 1: the country is. If this country, if someone you know 526 00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:46,040 Speaker 1: landed on the shores of New Jersey or California, all 527 00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:48,680 Speaker 1: of us listening, the guys who were listening were military 528 00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:50,960 Speaker 1: age and gay gals who were listening. If they wanted to, 529 00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:54,680 Speaker 1: we would. We would be called upon to fight, to 530 00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:57,040 Speaker 1: possibly die for this place. 531 00:28:58,440 --> 00:28:59,200 Speaker 2: That's something that. 532 00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:00,880 Speaker 1: I don't think people take can do account enough on 533 00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:03,440 Speaker 1: some of this illegal immigration stuff like oh, just show up, 534 00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:06,560 Speaker 1: get your stuff, don't learn the language. You can kind 535 00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:08,680 Speaker 1: of do whatever you want, come and go as you please. 536 00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:12,040 Speaker 1: We talking about the birth poorism scam. The people who 537 00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:14,160 Speaker 1: are here love this place and would die for it. 538 00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:17,040 Speaker 1: That's not something that should just be cast aside as 539 00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:19,560 Speaker 1: some kind of a joke because people want to feel 540 00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:21,680 Speaker 1: good about themselves, because they want to pretend that the 541 00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:23,680 Speaker 1: whole world could come here and it's still America. 542 00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:26,400 Speaker 3: I would love to and just also ask the question 543 00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:29,800 Speaker 3: of people who are making this argument, in addition to 544 00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:32,200 Speaker 3: why do we have borders in the first place, what 545 00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:35,640 Speaker 3: number would be too many? They're seven billion people in 546 00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:40,120 Speaker 3: the world, I've making for years because there's never to them. 547 00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:44,680 Speaker 1: Clay, we take a million legal legal, and. 548 00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:47,360 Speaker 2: Quite honestly, I think that number is probably too high. 549 00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:48,800 Speaker 2: That's a whole other conversation. 550 00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:52,240 Speaker 1: Now for for Biden, we've been paying, we've been and 551 00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:54,040 Speaker 1: by the way, that's not you know, people go home, 552 00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:56,480 Speaker 1: but don't you Yeah, lots of immigrant friends. 553 00:29:56,520 --> 00:29:57,160 Speaker 2: That's not the point. 554 00:29:57,200 --> 00:29:59,720 Speaker 1: The point is we're setting policies for the future to 555 00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:01,920 Speaker 1: def find what our future is a country will be, 556 00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:04,480 Speaker 1: and we have to have lines. We've got, you know, 557 00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:06,200 Speaker 1: the same reason to have a country, You've gotta draw 558 00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:07,160 Speaker 1: lines on a map. 559 00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:09,320 Speaker 2: There's something arbitrary about all of this. 560 00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:11,480 Speaker 1: But if we don't hold it together and believe in it, 561 00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:12,600 Speaker 1: then it all falls apart. 562 00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:16,719 Speaker 3: And there are seven billion people in the world. How 563 00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:19,720 Speaker 3: many of those people wish they were American? Four billion, 564 00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:21,120 Speaker 3: five billion? 565 00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:23,320 Speaker 1: You see here, here's how many of them wish they 566 00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:29,280 Speaker 1: could be in America and get the benefits of being here, Bill, 567 00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:31,800 Speaker 1: you know, a couple billion. I mean, you would many 568 00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:34,360 Speaker 1: of them really want How many of them want to 569 00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:37,120 Speaker 1: believe in the Constitution? How many of them want to 570 00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:39,280 Speaker 1: learn our language? By the way, I think Trump should 571 00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:41,040 Speaker 1: push for the national language to be English. I don't 572 00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:43,479 Speaker 1: know why this isn't higher on the radar. And this 573 00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:46,240 Speaker 1: is something I'm sensitive to in South Florida. By the way, 574 00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:49,040 Speaker 1: everybody who's here should be able to speak English. There 575 00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:52,720 Speaker 1: should not be ballots in New York City in fifteen 576 00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:54,680 Speaker 1: different languages or twenty different languages. 577 00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:56,320 Speaker 2: Coreact, I mean what I would vote in New York. 578 00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:57,360 Speaker 2: I'm like, I don't even know what I mean. 579 00:30:57,360 --> 00:31:00,680 Speaker 1: There's there's like Sanskrit, there's tie. I mean, there's stuff 580 00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:04,240 Speaker 1: that you're like, well, what is this that the national 581 00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:07,720 Speaker 1: language should be English? You know, we we are a 582 00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:11,760 Speaker 1: country that is held together by ideals and ideals and 583 00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:14,400 Speaker 1: our laws and our history. That shouldn't be something that 584 00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:17,720 Speaker 1: we're shy about, uh and and promoting for the next generation. 585 00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:22,800 Speaker 1: But Clay showing up here and getting welfare and talking 586 00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:25,680 Speaker 1: about how like racist or Baptist country is all the time? 587 00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:28,120 Speaker 2: Is that is that a I mean, even. 588 00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:30,480 Speaker 1: Coming here illegally. That makes you an American. Now now 589 00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:33,440 Speaker 1: you're an American. That also, I don't I don't sign 590 00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:33,880 Speaker 1: on to that. 591 00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:40,200 Speaker 3: My argument is that for legal immigration, we should be 592 00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:43,000 Speaker 3: benefiting off of the people that we're bringing in. That is, 593 00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:47,680 Speaker 3: we bring in highly skilled legal immigrants who have a 594 00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:50,200 Speaker 3: lot of assets that they can provide to the country. 595 00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:52,360 Speaker 3: You know, the analogy I've used is like, you know, 596 00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:55,120 Speaker 3: these should be the lottery picks, the NBA draft lottery 597 00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:57,600 Speaker 3: picks of the rest of the world. That's nice, should be. 598 00:31:57,640 --> 00:31:59,440 Speaker 1: Less than I don't know, I mean, I could get 599 00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:02,880 Speaker 1: the real that the reality is that and I agree 600 00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:05,640 Speaker 1: with you on that sentiment. That's less than ten percent 601 00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:08,720 Speaker 1: of the legal migrants we're taking in. It's almost all 602 00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:12,400 Speaker 1: chain migration via people who are we're just talking about 603 00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:14,640 Speaker 1: they sponsor the rest of the family. And you know, 604 00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:17,040 Speaker 1: Canada has done this thing for the last ten years 605 00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:19,560 Speaker 1: of oh we're going to have a points based system. 606 00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:22,719 Speaker 1: Everything has gotten worse economically in Canada while that's been 607 00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:23,240 Speaker 1: going on. 608 00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:24,440 Speaker 2: Everything has gotten worse. 609 00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:27,360 Speaker 3: Also, they just didn't justin. Trudeau just announced like three 610 00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:29,520 Speaker 3: weeks ago that they were ending all immigration. 611 00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:32,480 Speaker 1: After cutting back the immigration dramatically because it's a massive 612 00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:36,960 Speaker 1: failure because the points system, you know, it doesn't work 613 00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:39,160 Speaker 1: the way they have it set up, it doesn't work. 614 00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:41,680 Speaker 3: But I would just love I mean, I would love 615 00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:43,760 Speaker 3: to hear somebody say, what's the right number? Should we 616 00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:47,840 Speaker 3: have four hundred million new Americans? Like, what is the number? 617 00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:51,000 Speaker 3: Where Elizabeth Warren would say, oh, no, no, no, that's 618 00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:54,520 Speaker 3: too many. Well why what is the why that you're 619 00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:58,480 Speaker 3: going to draw this election? Answered that question with ten 620 00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:00,000 Speaker 3: million plus legals in four years? 621 00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:00,880 Speaker 2: Too much? 622 00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:03,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's too much the American at least. But I 623 00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:05,120 Speaker 3: would love to hear what Elizabeth Warren would say. 624 00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:09,600 Speaker 1: I'll call you a racist, Clay, go play your flute. 625 00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:13,520 Speaker 3: Pow wow chow.
