  Speaker 1: pressure was on, as I recall, wasn't there a fiance

  Speaker 2: gonna go spend some time.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: At the lake with them.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: This weekend sounds very No agenda is my favorite agenda.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: That sounds wonderful. That sounds like a great way to
• 1:51

  Speaker 1: right before we came on, there's that talkback mic on
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: the iHeartRadio app. We would love to hear from you.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: All right, So we've got the one hour sprint here
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: and we'll we'll get in as much as we can.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: I mentioned the Supreme Court cases. I want to go
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: through those. I want to talk about whither the Democratic Party?
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: Where are things going? Because of course this impacts us
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: directly here in the Nebraska second District. The national media
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: give fawning attention to the blue Dot phenomenon every election cycle,
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: but now with added importance, you know, we have to
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: where is what is the Democratic Party today? What does
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: the blue dot stand for? And I definitely want to
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: get into that today as well. There's a few other
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: things will apparently sup poor guy in New York is
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: going to have to get a permit to hold a
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: prayer service in his home. Speaking of where the Democratic
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: Party is going, I want to get to that as well.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: But first, well, let's get the tough one out of
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: the way. First, let's get the one that I know,
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: I think for most of KFAB nations. Now, I know
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: there are some blue daughters. I know there are folks
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: on the other side of things who listen as well,
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: and I want to hear from you four oh two, five, five,
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: eight eleven ten comment at kfab dot com or the
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: talkback Mike. But most of you, I imagine, like me, this
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: one is giving you heartburn, It's giving you indigestion. The
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: birthright citizenship case. Okay, this is the one in which
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: the Supreme Court affirmed birthright citizenship. Oh oh, we've already
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: got a caller on the line, Peyton. Let's go to Ruby. Ruby,
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: Welcome to the show.
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: Okay, good morning.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: Good morning. What's on your mind, Roby.
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: I just wanted to say, well, the country will be
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: selling brading the two hundred and fiftieth birthday of the country.
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: I will be celebrating my fiftieth birthday. I was born
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: on Independence Day nineteen seventy six, and I agree with
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: Peyton that no agenda is the best agenda, and that's
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: what I will be doing for the holiday weekend.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: Well, it's America two fifty and it's Ruby fifty. Fantastic.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: So you were born on the Bison Teddy oll and
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: here we are on America two fifty and your birthday, Well, Ruby,
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: have a wonderful birthday. You and the nation, thank you
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: so much. Enjoy your weekend, all right, you too, thank you.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: Well that's a nice little touch. Oh I was already
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: revveed up. That just takes me up another notch. Well,
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: that'll help me get through this topic. Now we need
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: to do this, We need to he eventually. I think
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: there's a positive spin on this. There's a way to
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: see this glass half full instead of half empty here
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: completely empty, depending on your anyway. Okay, So the Supreme
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: Court of firms birthright citizenship. So in the legal system,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: you've got this doctrine called use solely jus soli. That's
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: Latin use solely for law of the soil or right
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: of the soil. It means if you were born, if
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: you were born in the United States, you automatically are
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: a citizen of the United States. Now, the decision, of course,
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: centered on the fourteenth Amendment, which says, in part, all
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: to the jurisdiction thereof are citizens of the United States
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: and of the state wherein they reside. And it's that
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: subject to the jurisdiction clause that's the key to it. Now,
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: the left and the courts, the lower courts have taken
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: the position over the years, any child born in the
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: US and the child of an illegal immigrant is a
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: citizen of the US. Well, now the Supreme Court has agreed.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: It's a terrible decision. Promoters of birthright citizenship say, what,
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: everyone in America is subject to the jurisdiction of the
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: US and thus qualifies under that provision. Well, of course,
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: anyone in any country is subject to the jurisdiction of
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: that country. That is not what that provision means. It
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: means where is your citizenship? What country issued your passport?
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: If you visit another country and give birth. There is
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: your child a citizen of that country or the United States?
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: Well the United States, of course. Now you may have
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: to file some paperwork to confirm it when you get home.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: But that's the legal and common sense presumption. But now
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: we've got this disingenuous and ridiculously broad interpretation, and then
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: that generates too phenomena that really make a mockery of citizenship.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: One is the anchor baby. Now that used to get
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: you in trouble to say that. But there's a Democrat
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: I think she's a member of Congress who's been posting
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: on social media. I am a proud anchor baby, and
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: I am an American. Okay, this is what A pregnant
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: woman illegally enters the US and has her baby here.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: So the baby is a citizen. Well, the baby's a citizen,
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: it has right to be here. Well, the baby needs
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: the mother, so she has to be allowed to stay. Well,
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: the mother's other children need the mother, so they must
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: be allowed here. Well, the mother can't take care of
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: everyone and provide for the family, so her husband must
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: be allowed. Oh, and abuela, the grandmother lives with the
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: family and depends on the family to survive, so abuela
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: gets a green light or a green card. The baby
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: is an anchor for a family to gain a foothold
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: in America. There's another racket called birth tourism. Businesses arrange
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: package deals, travel, lodging, meals, et cetera for anywhere from
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: fift hundred thousand dollars for trips by pregnant women to
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: have their babies here. They come here legally as tourists
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: and have their babies here. Boom instant citizenship for the child. Now.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: They don't stay, they never intended to. They go home
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: as soon as the baby can travel. They just want
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: that status for the baby of American citizenship. President Trump
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: sarcastically congratulated China on the Supreme Court ruling because annually
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: tens of thousands of Chinese mothers engage in birth tourism.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: I don't know that they come all the way here.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: I've read some accounts they go to Guam, a US territory.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: It's a lot closer than the United States. But birth
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: tourism child's an instant citizens of the US. Now. It's
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: of course an asset to the child to have US citizenship.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: But there is also the national security threat of Chinese
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: students traveling back to America with the rights and privileges
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: of citizenship to go to school, get jobs, perhaps steal
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: intellectual property, and otherwise spy for China. We just had
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: a Chinese student arrested locally and sentenced for taking pictures
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: of a restricted area at off At Air Force Base.
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: Now the student kind of Oh, I'm just an airplane
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: nerd and I just love taking pictures. Now, uh huh okay. Now,
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: most other countries do not grant birthright citizenship. The floor
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: debate in the Congressional Record indicates that America also was
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: not supposed to do this. Senator Jacob Howard of Michigan.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: This has been in the news lot, so maybe you're
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: familiar with this. Jacob Howard of Michigan was a senator
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: who sponsored the language in the fourteenth Amendment, and he's
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: quoted in the record is saying that citizenship will not,
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: of course include persons born in the United States who
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: are foreigners aliens who belong to the families of ambassadors
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: or foreign ministers accredited to the government of the United States,
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: but will include every other class of persons. That provision
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: of the Fourteenth Amendment and subject to the jurisdiction of
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: was written to ensure that freed slaves were not denied
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: the civil rights to which American citizens are entitled. It
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: was not written to accommodate anchor babyism or birth tourism.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: So yes, the situation's a mess, But take heart, Take heart.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: Justice Brett Kavanaugh, he dissented. He rejects the idea of
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: automatic birthright citizenship. He suggested that the Court might be
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: more deferential to a policy crafted by Congress. The Court struck.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: What the Court has struck down was an executive order
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: from President Trump ending birthright citizenship. Justice Clarence Thomas another dissenter.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: Boy Thomas. Thomas is usually a man of few words. Apparently,
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: he wrote a ninety one page descent. The whole opinion
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: is nearly two hundred pages. I have not read it.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: Maybe I'll try to make some time over this holiday
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: weekend to dig into it, but I know this much.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: Thomas suggested that the focus should be those legally domiciled
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: in America rather than those who sneak in illegally or
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: just passed through to birth the baby. There is an
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: eighteen ninety eight Supreme Court decision that recognized birthrights citizenship
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: for a Chinese child born to parents who had been
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: legally living and working in the US for decades before
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: the child was born. US Senator Bernie Moreno's a Republican
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: from Ohio. Moreno says he's going to introduce a bill
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: to limit birthright citizenship that was introduced in Senate by
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: a very prominent senator in nineteen ninety three. The bill
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: didn't advance, but here's what that sponsoring senator said about
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: the need for the legislation. We wonder in this country
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: why we have an illegal immigration problem. If making it
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: easy to be an illegal alien isn't enough, how about
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: offering a reward for being any illegal immigrant. No sane
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: country would do that, right. Guess again, if you break
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: our laws by entering this country without permission and give
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: birth to a child, we reward that child with US
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: citizenship and guarantee full access to all public and social
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: services this society provides. And that's a lot of services.
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: Is it any wonder that two thirds of the babies
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: born at taxpayer expense at county run hospitals in Los
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: Angeles are born to illegal alien mothers. Just on the
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: American people think nothing can be more absurd than the
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: way we deal or rather don't deal with illegal immigration.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: They discover that we have a political asylum system that
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: would qualify us for Senator Proxmyers Golden Fleece Award a
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: thousand times over. Okay, let's unpack that a little pondering
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: your minds Now, who do you think said that? Who
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: said that? Now? That reference was to William Proxmyer, Senator,
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: a Democrat, a Democrat from Wisconsin who was famous for
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: these spoof Golden Fleece Award that he would give. He
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: would highlight bizarre and absurd programs on which the government
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: spent taxpayer dollars. But Proxmyer was not the sponsor of
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: the birthright bill. Well, now let's see, all right, who
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: were the big Republican names in the Senate in nineteen
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: ninety three. Now the uh okay, hold that thought. Ponder
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: that thought, because we've got another caller on the line.
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: Let's get Brian in the conversation. Brian, welcome to the show.
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: Good morning.
• 14:10
  Speaker 5: Well thanks for not saying we're the only country with
• 14:12
  Speaker 5: birthright citizenship like Moreno said or your afternoon host said,
• 14:18
  Speaker 5: because search on what other countries have birthright citizenship or
• 14:22
  Speaker 5: for the only one. So if there are thirty five
• 14:24
  Speaker 5: countries that have birthright citizens correct, including most of the Americas.
• 14:29
  Speaker 5: And also what Howard says, if you read the sentence,
• 14:32
  Speaker 5: he's clearly talking about families of ambassadors and ambassadors and
• 14:37
  Speaker 5: diplomats who aren't under the jurisdiction of the United States
• 14:40
  Speaker 5: because they can't be arrested, they can't even be given
• 14:43
  Speaker 5: a parking ticket, and the whole ignoring of the constitution
• 14:48
  Speaker 5: being really anti constitutional in this is surprising that even
• 14:54
  Speaker 5: four justices would go for it.
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: Now, Brian, so you like the decision, but let me
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: ask thank you this. So if you're saying, all right,
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: the fourteenth Amendment clearly means that, for instance, children of
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: ambassadors do not get automatic citizenship, But so by what
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: logic do you arrive at the conclusion? But it's okay
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: for the citizen of an illegal immigrant to have automatic citizenship.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: How can that be true if even when people who
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: are here legally don't get that privilege.
• 15:25
  Speaker 5: Can someone who illegally be given a parking ticket or arrested? Certainly, well,
• 15:33
  Speaker 5: then they're under the jurisdiction of the United States, and
• 15:35
  Speaker 5: according to the Constitution, if they have a child. That child.
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: Well, so we're back to the debate about what does
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: that clause mean in that amendment. It doesn't mean that
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: you're Yeah, anybody in any country at any time is
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: subject to the laws of that country. What that provision
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: means is where is your citizenship? What country issued your passport?
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: That's what that provision is referring to.
• 15:57
  Speaker 5: That's why, more than the Second Amendment is just talking
• 16:01
  Speaker 5: about the National Guard. You can twist the words any
• 16:04
  Speaker 5: way you want have it means something entirely different from
• 16:06
  Speaker 5: what it says, but that's still lying.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: Well, all right, Brian, anything else before we let you go,
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: I'll let you have the last word.
• 16:14
  Speaker 5: Uh no, just have a good day.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Brian. I recognize Brian's voice, Peyton, I think
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: he's chimed in before. That's okay. Four h two five five,
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: eight eleven ten comment at kfab dot com.
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and we encourage these thoughts and opinions even if
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: you oppose, and just like Dad, you can have a
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: respectful conversation and get your opinions across.
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: Sure. Yeah, the more the merrier. I don't where Brian
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: and I disagree is well, no, that phrase subject to
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: the jurisdiction thereof. That doesn't just mean well, you're in
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: this country, you got to follow the laws. Yeah, that's
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: true everywhere, at all times. That phrase is referring to
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: there's no way that it can be wrong for someone
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: a foreigner who's here legally to have a child, but
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: that child doesn't get birthright citizenship. But then a foreigner
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: who's here illegally does get to let that child does
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: get automatic birthright citizenship. This doesn't make sense, but but
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: we press on. All right. So we've got this senator
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: who introduced a bill in nineteen ninety three to limit
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: birthright citizenship. And it was not William Proxmyer. The introducing
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: senator said, this sounds like one of Proxmyer's Golden Fleece
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: Award deals here, So I was I was going to
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: reminisce with you. Who are the big Republicans at that time?
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: This is nineteen ninety three. Was it Strom Thurmon of
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: South Carolina, former Dixiecrat presidential candidate who left the Democratic
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: Party in the nineteen seventies because it had become too liberal.
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: It was a Thurman. Well, how about another Southern firebrand
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: Jesse Helms of North Carolina. How about Bob Dole from
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: Camp he would run for president in nineteen ninety six.
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: The comments have that acerbic dull edge. Actually, it was
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: none of the above. It was none of the above.
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: And before I tell you who it was, we have
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: another caller on the line, John, Welcome to the show. John, Hi,
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: good morning, Good morning.
• 18:24
  Speaker 6: I just wanted to just share my thoughts for what
• 18:26
  Speaker 6: it's worth. Oh, your last caller said the Second Amendment,
• 18:30
  Speaker 6: it's for the National Guard. I can understand the confusion there.
• 18:36
  Speaker 6: It was designed for the state militia. I believe it
• 18:39
  Speaker 6: was Massachusetts, and this back in the sixteen hundreds. The
• 18:44
  Speaker 6: state militia technically is not part of the federal system.
• 18:49
  Speaker 6: So if you had a state guard that cannot be federalized,
• 18:53
  Speaker 6: then technically he would be correct. But the I'm a
• 18:56
  Speaker 6: former Guard guardsman, and the National Guard can be nationalized
• 19:00
  Speaker 6: and put under the authority of the president, So the
• 19:03
  Speaker 6: Second Amendment technically does not apply to the Guard. Now,
• 19:07
  Speaker 6: Texas has a state army of state military that's separate
• 19:12
  Speaker 6: from the Guard, So if you want to get technical,
• 19:15
  Speaker 6: it would apply to something like that, but not the National.
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: Guard John Well, first of all, thank you for your
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: service and thank you for your clarification on that issue.
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: We appreciate that.
• 19:24
  Speaker 5: You're welcome.
• 19:26
  Speaker 6: You're welcome.
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: Have a great day. Four h two, five, five eleven
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: to ten. Comment at kfab dot com or the talkback
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: mic on the iHeartRadio app. Yeah, you know, Brian, the
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: previous caller did reference the second modment. I wasn't going
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: to pursue that. Although sometimes you do a show and
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: you end up going off in a direction you had
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: never anticipated and it's a better show than you had planned.
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: So I will see how the conversation goes. But I
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: was trying to stick to the birthright citizenship. We've got
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: more people who want to get in on this. We've
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: got to well, let's when do we need to take
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: our break, Peyton, Let's take one more call, get one
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: more in here before you got all right? Was Jared
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: up next? Yes, Jared, Jared, Jared, Welcome to the show.
• 20:08
  Speaker 7: Corny, Thank you. So my question for you is what
• 20:12
  Speaker 7: what if I'm born in international waters? Well, now I
• 20:16
  Speaker 7: wish to it so, or what if I'm born overseas?
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, let's yes, yes, all you need to do, there's
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: some paperwork that you have to file, you know, to
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: confirm it all. But John McCain actually a leading Republican
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: who ran for president. He was born outside His father
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: was in the military, and he was born outside the country.
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: But there's no problem with him running for president because
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: his American citizenship from birth was confirmed through whatever. There's
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: a paperwork, there's a procedure's a bureaucratic procedure you go
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: through to confirm and clarify it all. But no, that's
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: when you because that happens of course sometimes by accident
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: by design. But no, you can get that cleaned up
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: and cleared up. But it's good question, Jared, thank you
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: very much. All Right, we're gonna need to hold Clyde,
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: aren't we for the other side. Oh well, there's the t's.
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: There's the t's. I'll also reveal for you who the
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: Senator was that revealed a bill in nineteen ninety three
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: that Bernie Moreno wants to dust off and re introduce. Meanwhile,
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: I'm feeling like James Brown. I'm living in America and
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: it feels good. Chip Maxwell, with your bad self filling
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: in for Gene Stuth. It's the kfab comment line. On
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: news radio eleven to ten kfab let tyrants shake their

• 22:37
  Speaker 1: a few of those. We're going to get to those momentarily.
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: And there's also the talkback Mike on the iHeartRadio app. Well,
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: I left you hanging. I don't know if you'll tease
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: a little cliffhanger about who introduced that bill in nineteen
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: ninety three. And we're almost there, But first, Port Clyde's
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: been waiting quite a while on the line. I want
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: to get right to Clyde next. Clyde welcome to the show.
• 22:58
  Speaker 8: Yeah, Jip, thanks for in my call. I know times short,
• 23:02
  Speaker 8: that's our.
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: Ghostice, it's a sprint. Yeah.
• 23:06
  Speaker 8: Well, I'll get right to the point. This Brian guy,
• 23:09
  Speaker 8: I've heard him so much but on Chris's program too.
• 23:12
  Speaker 8: He's a lefty loon. I would invite him to take
• 23:16
  Speaker 8: the locks off his door, totally open his doors for
• 23:20
  Speaker 8: every illegal alien, just move right into his house. The
• 23:24
  Speaker 8: same with the I mean the same with the homeless.
• 23:27
  Speaker 8: That these people want to not get off the streets.
• 23:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah, let them move right in the house.
• 23:32
  Speaker 8: Take your locks off your door, because these people certainly
• 23:34
  Speaker 8: don't love the country, they don't love America. He's lefties.
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: That's it, all right, Clyt, Well, thank you very much.
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: Uh yeah, the you know, and I hope we get
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: If we don't get to today, we'll get to it Monday.
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: About where's the Democratic Party going to the socialism thing?
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: It's generally the affluent, like college educated affluent, not necessarily white.
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: I mean you've got AOC and Momdani and so forth.
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: But it's an anti American affluent Marxist musselim axis. Yeah,
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: but then they live in gated communities. But all right,
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: So we'll leave that one there for now and we'll
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: get back on track here. We did have a few
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: emails come in, Hey, thank you. There was one that
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: was very complimentary. I appreciate that. That also reminded me.
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: I have a son who does some home healthcare and
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: he's prohibited by law from sharing names of clients and
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: so forth, but he's working with a client these days
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: who's a regular Kfab listener. So hello to you, listener,
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: you know who you are. And then, Peyton, we had
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: a few people chime in on this. Who introduced the
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: build a limit birthright citizenship in nineteen ninety three?
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: Go yeah, Chip Bob sent an email answering you. I
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: said it was Dianne Feinstein of California.
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: That is a very good guess. She may well have
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: been a co sponsor. But the information I is that
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: she was not the original introducer, but she certainly she
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: was a super duper major democrat of the era. Now,
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: I don't hold you responsible for any of this, Peyton.
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: You were not even a glimmer in your father's eye
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: in nineteen ninety three, so this is way before your time.
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: Did we have another email? Yes?
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: I had one more email here comment at kfab dot com.
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: This one comes from Greg in regards to the Fourteenth Amendment.
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: Let's face it, Chip, the framers of the Fourteenth Amendment
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: blew it. They were naive when they wrote it. They
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: forgot to take human nature into account. I wonder how
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: many of them are turning over in their graves right now.
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: Oh well, I'm sure this is not you know, the
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: anchor babyism and the birth tourism is not what they
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: anticipated or intended. Again, they were just trying to make
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: sure that the freed slaves enjoyed all their civil rights,
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: which of course it really took another century to totally
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: truly make that happen. So that concern was quite valid.
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: That was right before them. Of how this played out, No,
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: I agree, I don't think and you could say, well,
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: they blew it. I wish you could have made that
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: a little clearer. But anyway, all right, so time for
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: the big revelation here. So no, it was not a Republican.
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: That's why I like Bob's guests of Dianne Feinstein. The
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: introducer of the Immigration Stabilization Act of nineteen ninety three
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: was Harry Reid of Nevada, a rising star in the
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: Democratic Party, who would become Senate Democratic Majority leader a
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: decade later. Yes, a Democrat, it was Peyton, my young friend.
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: It was a different country, it was a different century.
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: It was certainly a different Democratic Party back then. Now,
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: as one of our previous callers, no to the Democratic
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: Party of today, it's going to fight any limitation on
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: birthright citizenship because it wants more foreigners, people with a
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: foreign perspective in America. See the problem with homegrown americanssts.
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: We tend to reject the increasingly hardcore leftist policies of
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: the Democratic Party. You know, homegrown Americans are too steeped
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: in the two hundred and fifty year legacy. We celebrate
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: this weekend of a constitutional democratic with a small d
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: capitalist republic rooted in Western civilization and based on natural
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: law and four thousand years of Judeo Christian teaching. You
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: knew that formula was coming from me right now. This, well,
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: this may be the segue into our next topic. Because
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: the ascendant socialist faction is this Marxist Muslim axis that
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: appears to be taking over the Democratic Party. Well, it
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: wants to obliterate the two hundred and fifty year legacy
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: that we're celebrating this weekend, and part of that is
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: promoting birthright citizenship. That's okay, though, We'll make posters out
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: of these words of Harry Reid and bring sanity to
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: citizenship four h two five five, eight eleven ten. Comment
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: at kfab dot com or the talkback Mike on the
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: iHeartRadio app. Well, I do you know this really does
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: lead into what are we looking at now with the
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: Democratic Party. Let me just mention there were some court
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: cases that went our way as conservatives. The Supreme Court
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: did say that states can protect women's sports. And of
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: course it's kind of absurd that the high Court of
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: the Land even had to get involved, that this issue
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: even came up in the first place. But there it is.
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: States can protect women's sports, States can say that the
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: men are not allowed in women's sports, and and the
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: Supreme Court also ruled that the president can fire bureaucrats.
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: There are some government aid agencies. They're called independent government agencies.
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: The problem is they become fiefdoms of people call Trump
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: or some conservatives called Obama, you know, an autocratic dictator,
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: a tyrant, and so forth. Actually, within these little fiefdoms
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: in the federal government, some of these civil servants were
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: considered untouchable, and the Supreme Court just made a clear no.
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: The president is the head of the executive branch of government,
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: and anyone in the executive branch of government is subject
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: to dismissal by the president. I always, I always thought
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: Doze was just kind of an ordeure, an appetizer, a
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: warm up. I mean, it was a nice start, but
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: that was just a tiny sliver of what needs to
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: actually happen. So maybe we'll see some more streamlining of government.
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: But so those those were two wins. And if you
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: I want to comment on those four oh two, five, five, eight,
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: eleven ten, comment at kfab dot com or the talkback Mike.
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: All right, but this this birthright citizenship, in this you know,
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: apparently there's gonna be some battling now in Congress over it.
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: There there'll be legislative attempts to limit it, uh and
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: redefine it, and it's going to reveal who's who and
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: where the center of gravity is in each party. We've
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: got some more callers on the line, though, can we
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: get back to them before the next Breakdacks Dustin, Welcome
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: to the show.
• 30:39
  Speaker 9: Hi there, thanks for taking my call I wanted to
• 30:42
  Speaker 9: talk about Article one, Section eight Clause four and connect
• 30:46
  Speaker 9: it to the fifteenth Amendment ultimately. But Article one deals
• 30:51
  Speaker 9: with the legislative branch, and you know the enumerated Clauses
• 30:55
  Speaker 9: section so the you know, the Congress is supposed to
• 30:58
  Speaker 9: do X, Y Z, maybe eighteen things. But nonumber four
• 31:00
  Speaker 9: is past laws of uniform laws of naturalization. So you
• 31:05
  Speaker 9: can't have people in the same Minnesota Samali's getting special
• 31:08
  Speaker 9: immigration rights or something like that. Everybody has to play
• 31:12
  Speaker 9: by the same rules and be part of the same
• 31:14
  Speaker 9: immigration and naturalization process, so people from other countries can.
• 31:18
  Speaker 4: Become citizens like we are here as citizens.
• 31:21
  Speaker 9: But and that's a legislative branch issue. It's not a
• 31:25
  Speaker 9: judicial branch issue. It's not an executive branch issue. Our
• 31:29
  Speaker 9: legislature has to actually step up and do their job.
• 31:32
  Speaker 9: And ultimately, with the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth Amendments, Thirteenth
• 31:37
  Speaker 9: Amendment granted freedom, Fourteenth Amendment granted citizenship, in the fifteenth
• 31:41
  Speaker 9: Amendment granted voting rights, and so ultimately this is all
• 31:44
  Speaker 9: about voting rights and trying to get people who aren't
• 31:47
  Speaker 9: citizens able to vote.
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: So Dustin, so you're saying that that sounds like you're
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: optimistic that an effort by Congress to redefine this and
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: narrow it will be upheld as constitution because you've got
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: Article one. The one of the enumerated powers is to
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: manage naturalization, and so there it is right there. Oh yes, sir,
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: all right, well Dustin, thank you for that. Take Wow.
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: Dustin goes right into the heart of the Constitution and
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: the enumerated powers of Congress and says, there it is naturalization.
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: So we'll connect that to the fourteenth and get this
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: cleaned up. Gilbert's up next, Gilbert, Welcome to the show.
• 32:31
  Speaker 4: Hey, Chip, this.
• 32:32
  Speaker 10: Is Gilbert A Yalla.
• 32:33
  Speaker 4: Just wanted to.
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: Say Hi, fantastic.
• 32:37
  Speaker 10: So I wanted to discuss that Second Amendment thing. So
• 32:40
  Speaker 10: I have a book at home that I got from
• 32:41
  Speaker 10: Half Priced Books, and it's basically the writings of Thomas
• 32:45
  Speaker 10: Jefferson and letters he wrote.
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: Well, that was a bargain if you got it for
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: half price.
• 32:50
  Speaker 10: Yeah, it wasn't a paperback.
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: The bargain at any price anyway, Go ahead, Gilbert.
• 32:56
  Speaker 10: And he was the governor of Virginia before he was president,
• 33:01
  Speaker 10: and he had to give a state of the you know,
• 33:03
  Speaker 10: a report on how the state's doing. Okay, So back then,
• 33:08
  Speaker 10: every male in the state of Virginia was required to
• 33:12
  Speaker 10: be in the militia and they were required to report
• 33:17
  Speaker 10: once or twice a year and get together, and they
• 33:20
  Speaker 10: were expected to bring a weapon and that was their
• 33:23
  Speaker 10: own weapon, and they were supposed to report to do
• 33:28
  Speaker 10: duty and training.
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: Okay, And that's what.
• 33:30
  Speaker 10: The militia was. That's where the Second Amendment thing comes,
• 33:33
  Speaker 10: where all men have a right, you know, to have
• 33:35
  Speaker 10: the guns, is because you were expected to be in
• 33:37
  Speaker 10: the militia. And that's just something that people just don't
• 33:41
  Speaker 10: know about because I've never heard any politicians ever.
• 33:43
  Speaker 3: Talk about that.
• 33:44
  Speaker 10: But that's the way it was back then.
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: Well, Gilbert and so and so connect that to today
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: in our current debate.
• 33:52
  Speaker 10: Well, what I'm just trying to say is that people,
• 33:54
  Speaker 10: you know, try to act like only only people in
• 33:57
  Speaker 10: the state militia can have a gun, or you've got
• 33:58
  Speaker 10: to be in the National Guard. The right to bear
• 34:02
  Speaker 10: arms was really in the individual because he had to serve,
• 34:06
  Speaker 10: he had to report for duty and in it. It's
• 34:08
  Speaker 10: real funny. He mentions that in the cities in Virginia
• 34:11
  Speaker 10: they had less participation than out in the countryside. So
• 34:16
  Speaker 10: even back then, people living in cities were becoming you know,
• 34:18
  Speaker 10: less less less gun holding. You go out in the country,
• 34:22
  Speaker 10: all right, he mentioned it, all right. I just wanted
• 34:26
  Speaker 10: people that you can look this up as a rook.
• 34:28
  Speaker 10: It's a letter that you wrote. It's about the state
• 34:30
  Speaker 10: of the Virginia, how the state's doing it.
• 34:34
  Speaker 4: It's there, you.
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: Know, Gilbert, Thank you very much. Boy. Kf AB Nation
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: is just nailing this today with historical references and constitutional
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: references and Jefferson as governor in Virginia before becoming president.
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: Fantastic stuff. Peyton, We better take our next break, huh.

• 36:50
  Speaker 1: to the end of this. It's a sprint, I tell
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: you this one hour. Well, I guess that's the bad news.
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: The good news is, let's see patriotic programming tomorrow on KFAB.
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: I will be back for another turn around the course
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: on Monday. So what we don't get to today, we'll
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: bring it up on Monday. But I had started in
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: on so we're we're gonna have a battle here. We're
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: going to have a brawl over birthright citizenship on Capitol Hill.
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: It looks like in Congress because Republicans are going to
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: try legislative remedies, Democrats will no doubt oppose, and whatever
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: may be passed will probably be challenged in court, and
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: so you know, we'll see how it shakes out. Dustin
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: and others said, well, no, there's a line of constitutional
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: authority here right there for Congress. I haven't read the
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: Kavanaugh dissent in the birthright citizenship case, but I think
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: that was the gist of it, that if the remedy
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: is pursued via Congress rather than the President just arbitrarily
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: issuing an executive order, there you have some constitutional authority
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: for taking the kind of action that you want to take.
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: We'll see how all that plays out. But where is
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: the Democratic Party of nineteen ninety three was ready to
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: limit birthright citizenship. That ain't gonna be the case now.
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: And the Brinker Harding jumped in on this recently when
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: the three Democratic Socialists won elections in New York, including
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: a woman who's probably headed to the United States Congress
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: the House of Representatives from the New York City district. Chevalier,
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: the one who said, Gosh, I didn't have any napkins handy,
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: so I wipe my dirty hands off on the nearby
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: American flag at the restaurant. Yeah, house seat. Is that
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: the center of gravity now in the Democratic Party? That's
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: what I'm wondering. Oh, before we get deeper into this,
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: let's get to Kevin. Kevin, welcome to the show.
• 38:56
  Speaker 4: Yeah, thanks for the program. Was appreciate your commentaryship.
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: Thank you.
• 39:01
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 39:01
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 39:02
  Speaker 4: I think we're all troubled by what's going on in
• 39:04
  Speaker 4: our country. We need to remember the great historic, you know,
• 39:09
  Speaker 4: setting of our revolutionary war, the signing of the Declaration
• 39:13
  Speaker 4: of Independence, constitution, and how can we ever forget all
• 39:18
  Speaker 4: of those people who gave up their lives, put their
• 39:21
  Speaker 4: lives on the line going down through the years for
• 39:24
  Speaker 4: our military. And I'm just very grateful for everybody who
• 39:29
  Speaker 4: did that. But did what I mentioned that Thomas Jefferson
• 39:33
  Speaker 4: and John Adams died on the very same day. It
• 39:36
  Speaker 4: was Jefferson who died first. Adams didn't know it it
• 39:39
  Speaker 4: was on It was on.
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: July fourth, eighteen twenty six, fifty years after. There's some
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: numerology going on today to fifty and Ruby's fiftieth birthday,
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: and you're right. Fifty years later they both died in
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: the same day.
• 39:54
  Speaker 4: Go ahead, Kevin, and we are an exceptional nation, you
• 39:58
  Speaker 4: know the founder. You know, we're seeking religious freedom. They
• 40:02
  Speaker 4: built into the Declaration of Independence, all the Bill of Rights,
• 40:06
  Speaker 4: the Constitution, typical principles that would help our country, you know,
• 40:12
  Speaker 4: with storms, withstand the storms. And boy, we are being
• 40:16
  Speaker 4: confronted by democrats, socialist communists that we need to really
• 40:22
  Speaker 4: get out and vote against that because I have been
• 40:25
  Speaker 4: in countries communist countries that you know, the children are
• 40:29
  Speaker 4: living in garbage stuffs. It's just pathetic and I just
• 40:33
  Speaker 4: don't understand how all of this is happening.
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: Well, Kevin, thank you for your take. You know, there
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: was an interview I can't remember the woman's name, a
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: member of Congress, or maybe she was a state senator.
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: I want to say, in Delaware anyway. A conservative interviewer says,
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: can you give me an example of some place where
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: socialism and communism has worked? And she hemmed in had
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: and she said, well, the next time you have me on,
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: I'll have an answer for you. She didn't have an
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: answer of someplace where it works. Now, some people will
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: point to China. Well, China's kind of a hybrid deal.
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: China allows its version of capitalism. But I've talked to
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: people who've lived there, who've done business over there, and
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: they said, no, no, it's not It's more like fascism
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: in the sense that, you know, the fascist doesn't take
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: over the business like the socialist or the communist wants
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: to do. It'll let the business operate as long as
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: the business does what the government tells it to do
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: and serves the government's agenda and backs off when government
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: tells it to back off. And you know, people will
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: tell you try to do business in China as a foreigner,
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: you're under a different set of rules than the homegrown
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: businesses are. And so China's got this weird hybrid of
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: a communist rapidly communist political system but a sort of
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: quasi capitalist economic system. But I don't know that even
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: even China is having trouble keeping its own people in line,
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: because they're reaching a point where they're becoming frustrated and
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: finding it intolerable anyway, So, yes, Kevin's a good segue
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: into this topic. Actually, I'm looking at the clock now.
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: This topic we'll have to get into it on Monday
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: because we're already out of time. But I want to
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: know how does this play out? What does the blue
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: dot mean? Is the blue because the buzz right now
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: certainly is the Democratic Socialists, you know, and the uh Well,
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: that's why you've got polling saying three out of four Democrats. No,
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: I'm not flying the American flag. I'm not celebrating the
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: fourth of July. I will be. I hope you will
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: be too. Hey, thank you Peyton, thank you kafab Nation Bo.
