- 0:27Speaker 1: Fantastic? How are you, Mark Simone?
- 0:29Speaker 2: I'm good, I'm good. Uh. Supreme Court right now debating
- 0:33Speaker 2: birthright citizenship. I think I'm on Trump's side on this.
- 0:38Speaker 2: I mean, where you are on vacation at the moment
- 0:41Speaker 2: your baby's born should not determine the citizenship, should it?
- 0:45Speaker 1: Yes, well, destensibly starting in Atios America, when the entire
- 0:51Speaker 1: world was against me on this precise points, I mean
- 0:57Speaker 1: the arguments for me. I'm missed the beginning of the argument,
- 0:59Speaker 1: but yeah, there are legal arguments about the wording. The
- 1:03Speaker 1: bigger point is this was in the immediate aftermath of
- 1:07Speaker 1: the Civil War, of a bloody civil war, with six
- 1:10Speaker 1: hundred thousand corpses lying around the landscape. The reason we
- 1:15Speaker 1: were not adding amendments to the Constitution was to ensure that,
- 1:19Speaker 1: let's say, one hundred years from now, we have millions
- 1:22Speaker 1: of Latin Americans streaming across the border to collect welfare benefits.
- 1:27Speaker 1: Got to make sure those people are citizens. Can you
- 1:30Speaker 1: imagine if they weren't citizens, if they're kids, they dropped,
- 1:32Speaker 1: they've got to be citizens. It was never a problem because, well,
- 1:37Speaker 1: for one thing, we didn't have a gigantic welfare state,
- 1:40Speaker 1: and you could have a less a fair immigration policy
- 1:43Speaker 1: in colonial times. As I pointed out many times, about
- 1:47Speaker 1: half of the immigrants who used to come to America
- 1:50Speaker 1: from about sixteen forty until the beginning of the welfare
- 1:55Speaker 1: state nineteen sixty went home because they couldn't make it
- 2:00Speaker 1: in America. So you didn't need rules about who's a
- 2:05Speaker 1: citizen who's going to start collecting snap benefits? Yeah, you
- 2:10Speaker 1: could be lais a fair. Well, now we're a big
- 2:11Speaker 1: welfare state. But the amendment in question was absolutely, one
- 2:16Speaker 1: hundred percent exclusively about freed slaves. There are about a
- 2:21Speaker 1: dozen Supreme Court cases stating that exact point. No one
- 2:26Speaker 1: can fail to miss that these are called the civil
- 2:28Speaker 1: rights or the post Civil War amendments, because again, it
- 2:33Speaker 1: was right after the Civil War. What they wanted to
- 2:36Speaker 1: ensure black citizens who had been They don't like to
- 2:42Speaker 1: in the Constitution, they very much avoid referring to race.
- 2:46Speaker 1: There are a few references to I don't know, previously
- 2:49Speaker 1: enslaved or something. But here I said it was about
- 2:53Speaker 1: black citizens who had been slaves. They are living in States,
- 2:57Speaker 1: they've been in States for a hundreds of years, their
- 3:01Speaker 1: kids were born here, they were born here, they are citizens.
- 3:05Speaker 1: It was all about free slaves. And it's utter nonsense.
- 3:08Speaker 1: I mean, it shows once again the Democrats just use
- 3:11Speaker 1: black people as a false flag to advance their socialist agenda.
- 3:15Speaker 1: But when it comes to should we be legalizing multiple
- 3:19Speaker 1: millions of Latin Americans and disregard that, this was all
- 3:24Speaker 1: about your history, African Americans. This is about what what
- 3:28Speaker 1: you went through in this country. No, no, no, forget that.
- 3:31Speaker 1: It's everybody.
- 3:32Speaker 2: Yeah, so it's very logical. So what does that mean
- 3:36Speaker 2: this Marine court will use logic and come to that conclusion.
- 3:43Speaker 1: Who knows? I mean legally that is there is there,
- 3:51Speaker 1: it's it's it's beyond you know, when they first started
- 3:54Speaker 1: doing this. As I described, this doesn't come from anything
- 3:57Speaker 1: in the Constitution. It comes from a foot note in
- 4:00Speaker 1: a Justice Brennan decision. So even after the Fourteenth Amendment,
- 4:05Speaker 1: for one hundred years. No, of course, the children of
- 4:09Speaker 1: any illegals who existed, it wasn't a problem back then.
- 4:12Speaker 1: I doubt it. Any court you know, had to hear
- 4:15Speaker 1: such a case. But of course they weren't citizens. They
- 4:17Speaker 1: weren't for you to as citizens. And in the case
- 4:22Speaker 1: Plilor v. Do out of Texas the beginning of the end.
- 4:26Speaker 1: That was when Texas, being overwhelmed with with illegals, said
- 4:31Speaker 1: we can't afford to keep to keep educating you. You
- 4:34Speaker 1: can't use public services. As you know, California passed the
- 4:38Speaker 1: exact same law by referendum I don't know, twenty years ago.
- 4:44Speaker 1: And you know, the court's fittle around with it. It
- 4:46Speaker 1: sits around. Democrat governor comes in and it just goes.
- 4:49Speaker 1: Of course, you know, these these great devotees of democracy
- 4:53Speaker 1: overrule the will of the people. Appliler bide goes up
- 4:56Speaker 1: to the streame court and in meaning not part of
- 5:01Speaker 1: the ruling. It's just casual chit chat from a justice
- 5:04Speaker 1: that has no legal bearing. There is no force and
- 5:07Speaker 1: effect of legal dicta one justice Justice William Brennan drops
- 5:13Speaker 1: a footnote saying I don't really see the difference in
- 5:16Speaker 1: legal any illegal immigrants. They should, they should, they should
- 5:19Speaker 1: all be treated if they're born here as citizens. It's
- 5:21Speaker 1: a footnote in a Justice Brennan opinion. That's the closest
- 5:24Speaker 1: the Supreme Court ever came to deciding this issue. Didn't
- 5:27Speaker 1: decide the issue. Nobody else agreed with him. It has
- 5:30Speaker 1: no legal force, and it's been there for I don't
- 5:34Speaker 1: know when was that case. Probably in the seventies, Yeah,
- 5:37Speaker 1: don't hold me to that. Actually, I think it was
- 5:39Speaker 1: like nineteen eighty two. It's very recent. So you know
- 5:42Speaker 1: this long history going back to the Mayflower. Now it
- 5:45Speaker 1: goes back to a footnote from nineteen eighty two and
- 5:48Speaker 1: a Justice Brendon opinion.
- 5:49Speaker 2: Very logical stuff you're giving us here. That makes perfect sense.
- 5:52Speaker 2: And I like the way and Culter, you attorneys, you
- 5:55Speaker 2: just quote that Implier v. Do we should do that?
- 6:00Speaker 2: And radio? You know, and I miss versus Cumulus.
- 6:04Speaker 1: Well, the holding in that case was the Supreme Court
- 6:06Speaker 1: or was it Texas did have to pay for the
- 6:08Speaker 1: education of the illegals. Yeah, that was a very very
- 6:12Speaker 1: bad Supreme Court. Boycourts can do a lot of damage,
- 6:16Speaker 1: as we're all seeing now with these ridiculous district court judges.
- 6:19Speaker 2: Now President Trump, this is unheard of, has decided to
- 6:21Speaker 2: attend the hearings. He's sitting there, which I think is
- 6:24Speaker 2: a huge mistake. Can you ever try to stay awake
- 6:26Speaker 2: through one of these things? Can you imagine him?
- 6:31Speaker 1: Well, we both think it's a huge mistake, but for
- 6:33Speaker 1: different reasons. I wouldn't I wouldn't want to make it
- 6:38Speaker 1: political in that sense. This is about the history of
- 6:43Speaker 1: our country. This is about the Civil War, this is
- 6:46Speaker 1: about the obvious meaning of the Civil Rights amendments. It
- 6:50Speaker 1: was all about recently freed slaves. That's what it was about.
- 6:56Speaker 1: That's all it was about. And I think, I mean
- 6:58Speaker 1: I Missed'll hopefully be able to hear the arguments later,
- 7:02Speaker 1: but you know, they start these things so darn early
- 7:04Speaker 1: in the morning, Yeah, Mark Simoon, So I have not.
- 7:09Speaker 1: I've heard only bits and pieces of it. And yes,
- 7:11Speaker 1: I'm sure they'll be arguing about the lingo here and there.
- 7:15Speaker 1: But I really think it's just the blinding fact of
- 7:18Speaker 1: when this what the purpose of this amendment was, why
- 7:21Speaker 1: it was added, why I was phrased the way it was.
- 7:23Speaker 1: It was about breed slaves, breed slaves only. And I
- 7:25Speaker 1: wouldn't try to turn it into a political thing, Republicans
- 7:29Speaker 1: versus Democrats. That's why I think, yeah, would not attend.
- 7:33Speaker 2: Well, the hearings are going on and on. Now they
- 7:35Speaker 2: do break for lunch, right, they break for lunch. My
- 7:38Speaker 2: prediction you will not see the president back after lunch
- 7:41Speaker 2: for the rest of the hearings.
- 7:43Speaker 1: Is he actually there?
- 7:44Speaker 2: Yeah, he's attending the hearings. Huh, And I guarantee you
- 7:48Speaker 2: about twenty minutes into it, he's going, what did I
- 7:51Speaker 2: give myself into? How can I? I don't disagree with
- 7:56Speaker 2: that either, so hey, let me ask an important question.
- 8:00Speaker 2: Don Lemon reveals yesterday's thinking of running for president.
- 8:04Speaker 1: Fantastic.
- 8:07Speaker 2: How delusional is this guy? Or is he just know
- 8:09Speaker 2: that he's fired, he's not working anywhere and he needs attention.
- 8:13Speaker 2: Is that what it's all about?
- 8:15Speaker 1: Well, considering who the Democrats chose as they're well, they
- 8:20Speaker 1: didn't choose. Considering who the Democrats ran, I can't say
- 8:26Speaker 1: Democrats actually chose her as their last presidential nominee. I
- 8:30Speaker 1: think it's perfectly logical for Don Lemon to think he's
- 8:33Speaker 1: more qualified than Kamala Haara.
- 8:35Speaker 2: No, okay, do you remember this. We were in a restaurant
- 8:38Speaker 2: once it was in Connecticut, Lascal, I think Ray Kelly
- 8:41Speaker 2: was with us and he walks in, don Lemon, do
- 8:44Speaker 2: you remember this, and we don't look at him. And
- 8:47Speaker 2: he's one of those guys.
- 8:48Speaker 1: I didn't notice him.
- 8:51Speaker 2: There, Yeah, he didn't notice. But he's one of those guys.
- 8:53Speaker 2: He comes over the table, you're not going to say hello?
- 8:55Speaker 2: Is that you're not going to say hello to me? That?
- 8:57Speaker 2: That's kind of a who would do that? That takes
- 9:00Speaker 2: real ego to do that or an insecurity.
- 9:03Speaker 1: I think you're being too tough on him there.
- 9:08Speaker 2: You can't be too tough.
- 9:09Speaker 1: It's nice, unfriendly. It's just a way of approaching a table.
- 9:13Speaker 2: You are tough market No, no, no, I mean maybe
- 9:17Speaker 2: you come over and say hey, I don't know if
- 9:18Speaker 2: you have noticed them here, but they come over and
- 9:20Speaker 2: yell at them. You're not going to stay alone to me, So.
- 9:26Speaker 1: You are a tough critic.
- 9:29Speaker 2: Look who's talking.
- 9:31Speaker 1: Oh I'm a gentleman.
- 9:33Speaker 2: I am mister Rogers compared to you. So that's true, Christy.
- 9:38Speaker 2: No no chance of running in twenty twenty eight after
- 9:41Speaker 2: all this, right?
- 9:42Speaker 1: You know? Last night the New York Times posted an
- 9:47Speaker 1: article one of my friends was flying out to South
- 9:51Speaker 1: Dakota long before this story broke. I assume your listeners
- 9:54Speaker 1: are wealth that. I assume people on Mars are well
- 9:57Speaker 1: familiar with that story. And he just wanted to interview
- 10:03Speaker 1: Noam's husband without knowing this was coming as soon as
- 10:06Speaker 1: he gets story breaks. So he has a really interesting article.
- 10:10Speaker 1: I mean, obviously we're all giggling about this story. And
- 10:16Speaker 1: and and I read his article. He interviewed people in
- 10:19Speaker 1: the town, and my heart believes for the husband here,
- 10:25Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. That I mean, the neighbors Americans are
- 10:28Speaker 1: such nice people. So they were all saying, you know,
- 10:32Speaker 1: what a nice guy he is, and this is so sad.
- 10:35Speaker 1: And he had and and and shows a picture of
- 10:38Speaker 1: his business. I guess he sells insurance and it's something like,
- 10:40Speaker 1: you know, as honest as apple pie. And there's nothing
- 10:43Speaker 1: that indicates he's not honest. Here this is kind of
- 10:46Speaker 1: a freak. But but they were all they were all
- 10:49Speaker 1: so sympathetic. It made me think, you know, these are
- 10:52Speaker 1: nice people. They're right, this is very very sad.
- 10:55Speaker 2: Okay, but that's South Dakota. If he was in New York,
- 10:57Speaker 2: the neighbors say, I knew it the whole time.
- 10:59Speaker 1: I knew, I told, oh, and Christy knows. This is
- 11:08Speaker 1: the most my my heart has gone out to her
- 11:10Speaker 1: all the time. You should have she should have shot
- 11:13Speaker 1: the husband and married the dog. Uh.
- 11:19Speaker 2: Well, and Culter, great stuff, now, everybody you follow on Twitter.
