Speaker 1: Well, good morning everybody. It's Wednesday, Great to be with you.
Speaker 1: We're in the middle of the week home day. That's Jose.
Speaker 1: I'm Preston and it's The Morning Show with Preston Scott.
Speaker 1: Great to be with You, Show fifty three oh five.
Speaker 1: It is January twenty ninth. More on that date. In
Speaker 1: mere moments, he's over there in Studio one A. I
Speaker 1: am here sequestioned in Studio one B. And before the
Speaker 1: show even started, Jose popped open the talkback here and
Speaker 1: he said, can I give you a scripture suggestion for
Speaker 1: the day? I was like, well, sure, now you should
Speaker 1: know this about Jose. He loves Jesus and he loves
Speaker 1: God's word, as in like he loves to study God's word.
Speaker 1: And it's really cool having him obviously part of the show,
Speaker 1: but but to just say, hey, we were studying this
Speaker 1: scripture last night. I think this would be a good
Speaker 1: one to share, Like, well, saddle up, Cubby, tell me
Speaker 1: what it is. And so he points me to John
Speaker 1: thirteen and I'll take you to verse nineteen and twenty
Speaker 1: and what's And as Jose pointed out, what's really cool
Speaker 1: about this is a lot of people struggle with the
Speaker 1: whole trinity thing. Okay, they're one and the same, but
Speaker 1: three distinct different persons God, the Father, the Son, Jesus,
Speaker 1: and the Holy Spirit. What I had someone describe it
Speaker 1: to me years ago like this, if you if you
Speaker 1: take a big matza sometimes they have little scores, and
Speaker 1: you can break them into three parts. It's one matza,
Speaker 1: but there's three parts. You can boom boom boom, and
Speaker 1: you got three distinct parts. But they came from the
Speaker 1: same thing. It's like, well, yeah, it's a little crude,
Speaker 1: but it works. It works. But what's really cool is
Speaker 1: this is Jesus talking red letter stuff. You know, when
Speaker 1: it's read letters. You got it. You have to give
Speaker 1: it a little bit more of your attention. Jesus said,
Speaker 1: I'm telling you this now before it takes place, that
Speaker 1: when it does take place, you may believe that I
Speaker 1: am He Well, he was speaking of fulfilling scripture and
Speaker 1: that he was the promised Messiah. But he goes on
Speaker 1: to say this in verse twenty, truly, truly, I say
Speaker 1: to you, whoever receives the one I send. So he's
Speaker 1: talking about he's prophetically speaking right now at that moment
Speaker 1: of an event that's coming. Whoever receives the one I
Speaker 1: send receives me. Okay, so now we've got two pieces
Speaker 1: of the trinity. The one he's sending in himself, and
Speaker 1: whoever receives me receives the one who sent me. All
Speaker 1: three right there, Verse twenty. Boom, boom boom, there's the trinity.
Speaker 1: You see. The Night of the Resurrection, Jesus appears in
Speaker 1: the upper room. They're all gathered together, the disciples are
Speaker 1: fearful that they're going to get killed. They've locked the door,
Speaker 1: and he just pops in. Because that's what resurrected people
Speaker 1: can do. You know, a resurrected Jesus can just kind
Speaker 1: of say, what's up, what's up, Pilgrims, what's up, Disciples?
Speaker 1: And it's at that point in that encounter where they
Speaker 1: become Christians and they receive the indwelling Holy Spirit. The
Speaker 1: Holy Spirit is the one that Jesus would send, and
Speaker 1: the Holy Spirit shows up in a really dramatic way
Speaker 1: later in acts during Pentecost. And I mean, this gets
Speaker 1: into a lot of really cool, you know, theological and
Speaker 1: biblical studies, but the bottom line is when Jesus says
Speaker 1: this in John thirteen, he's saying the Holy Spirit's coming.
Speaker 1: And so you've got all three parts of the Holy
Speaker 1: Spirit mentioned of the Trinity mentioned in John thirteen twenty.
Speaker 1: So there you go, ten past the hour. Well done, Jose.
Speaker 1: That's why we call him Jose.
Speaker 2: Can you see you.
Speaker 1: Came past the hour? January twenty ninth thirty days, have September, April, June,
Speaker 1: and November thirty one days, and then February. It's like, okay,
Speaker 1: we got to make an adjustment here. I think it's
Speaker 1: a twenty eight day February. I don't think it's a
Speaker 1: twenty nine day February. I don't think it's a leap
Speaker 1: year anyway. So here we go. Twenty ninth, eighteen forty three.
Speaker 1: William McKinley, twenty fifth US President, born in Niles, Ohio.
Speaker 1: Eighteen sixty one. Kansas becomes the thirty fourth state. Nineteen
Speaker 1: hundred American League is organized in Philadelphia with eight baseball teams.
Speaker 1: Nineteen thirty six, the first of five inductees into Baseball's
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame. Check this out among the names, Ty Cobb,
Speaker 1: Babe Ruth. Can you imagine see I've never been to
Speaker 1: the Baseball Hall of Fame, and I will admit I'm
Speaker 1: not the biggest baseball fan in the world, but I
Speaker 1: love baseball for different reasons. It's baseball is why I
Speaker 1: have a babble of FDR in my studio. It's not
Speaker 1: really because he was the president. It was because he
Speaker 1: was the president in a time and he managed to
Speaker 1: find a way to kind of save baseball. It's a
Speaker 1: great story FDR's role in keeping baseball alive. But baseball
Speaker 1: is just it's filled with so much history. You know,
Speaker 1: there's a line in Field of Dreams where Terrence Mann,
Speaker 1: the character played by James Earl Jones, says, baseball marks
Speaker 1: the times, and it does not as much today as
Speaker 1: it used to. There's not as many people going to
Speaker 1: baseball games today and filling out baseball cards and learning
Speaker 1: how to do that stuff was the thing that every
Speaker 1: kid learned to do, is they'd go to a baseball
Speaker 1: game and learn to fill out a baseball card. And
Speaker 1: it's filled with people like Babe Ruth and Ty Cobb
Speaker 1: and Joe DiMaggio and Mickey Mannlin and Ted Williams and
Speaker 1: Sandy Cofax and Stan Musual and and yes, even the
Speaker 1: players of the Negro leagues. Josh Gibson. My dad once
Speaker 1: told me that he would climb the fence to watch
Speaker 1: the Negro League's play and he said, Josh Gibson would
Speaker 1: hit a baseball in a way that Babe Ruth never could.
Speaker 1: Josh Gibson was incredible, according to my dad. But Satchel Page,
Speaker 1: and I mean, the list goes on and on. It's
Speaker 1: just Baseball's just cool anyway. And then in nineteen forty four,
Speaker 1: the USS Missouri, the last battleship of the Navy, launched
Speaker 1: in New York City. Today's National Cornship Day, so have
Speaker 1: yourself some Fredos or your cornship of choice. And today's
Speaker 1: National Puzzle Day. Okay, interesting today on the program, when
Speaker 1: it's all said and done, you might end up thinking
Speaker 1: it's National Numbers Day. Because numbers. It's just every now
Speaker 1: and then we have shows where numbers are a big thing,
Speaker 1: and this is one of those shows where numbers will
Speaker 1: play a part of everything in well, not every topic
Speaker 1: on the show today, but a bunch of them. And oh,
Speaker 1: by the way, speaking of numbers, the fourteenth Amendment will
Speaker 1: be our focus. If you're wondering about birthright citizenship, what
Speaker 1: does the Constitution say? What was the point of the
Speaker 1: Fourteenth Amendment, its context, and at what point did the
Speaker 1: Core get it wrong? And what's going to happen moving
Speaker 1: forward with these cases that are going to be prompted
Speaker 1: by Donald Trump's actions as president. We've got Hans von
Speaker 1: Spakowsky joining us in the third hour. He's a constitutional
Speaker 1: scholar and he's an expert on the Constitution. He's written
Speaker 1: extensively on the fourteenth Amendment, and we have him joining
Speaker 1: us in the third hour today on The Morning Show
Speaker 1: with President Scott seventeen past the hour, all right, twenty
Speaker 1: two minutes past the hour the Morning Show with President Scott.
Speaker 1: Let me, I've got to finish this story. As much
Speaker 1: as I want to deviate to something that I want
Speaker 1: to maybe help you out with, I have to finish
Speaker 1: this story. Yesterday we talked about at the end of
Speaker 1: the show that that Progresso made a product called Soup Drops,
Speaker 1: and sure enough I went and looked it up yesterday
Speaker 1: and they're sold out. They rolled these things out for
Speaker 1: National Soup Month, which is apparently January, and it's literally
Speaker 1: a savory drop lozenge. It's not bullion that you drop,
Speaker 1: and it's not one of those bullion cubes it's a
Speaker 1: drop that captures the taste of Progresso traditional chicken noodle soup. Now,
Speaker 1: I'll be the first to tell you there's not a
Speaker 1: canned soup made that is as good as Progresso. I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: The Campbells. Yeah, no way, chunky soup, uh huh. If
Speaker 1: you look at the labels, Progresso's labels show a far
Speaker 1: healthier mixture of ingredients. But they're soups. You don't add water,
Speaker 1: you just pour them out. And yeah, they're a little
Speaker 1: more expensive, but man, have you have you ever had
Speaker 1: their tomato basil? Their tomato basil soup is absolutely outrageous.
Speaker 1: I can't think of a soup I've ever eaten that
Speaker 1: they make that is bad. It's rich, it's flavorful, and
Speaker 1: so I am totally down with this idea. Here, it
Speaker 1: would appear that the end of the month is it
Speaker 1: and they release new drops every Thursday. So Thursday is
Speaker 1: your last chance because we're at the end of the
Speaker 1: month tomorrow, So apparently at nine am Eastern tomorrow they
Speaker 1: might be doing one final availability for you to order
Speaker 1: the savory chicken soup drops Chicken noodle soup drops and
Speaker 1: apparently comes with a can of chicken noodle soup, and
Speaker 1: you can't go wrong with that either. But I'm gonna
Speaker 1: try and order some tomorrow, and if I do, I
Speaker 1: am having one on the air when I get them,
Speaker 1: and I will let you know what I think. But
Speaker 1: I was totally down with this plan. I may just
Speaker 1: buy just for the sake of it. In case they're
Speaker 1: really good, I may order like two whatever things of them.
Speaker 1: I don't know. But they have all of the flavors,
Speaker 1: all of the things that you would expect, and so yeah,
Speaker 1: well supplies last. Here's where you go, even though it
Speaker 1: might hurt my odds, because I love you, Progresso soup
Speaker 1: drops dot com. I'm not kidding, Progresso soup drops dot Com.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do it. If I can do it, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna do it. I mean, I am gonna be watching
Speaker 1: the clock fifty nine, fifty nine, fifty fifty one, fifty
Speaker 1: fifty three, fifty fifty five, fifty six, fifty seven.
Speaker 3: Fifty eight nine o'clock hit enter, click, come on, come on,
Speaker 3: come on, come on, Delilly, I can find some.
Speaker 1: I'm telling you. That's how it's gonna be for me.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be great. If I if I'm successful, I
Speaker 1: will announce that on Friday. It would be my best
Speaker 1: of the week, except I have a special guest lined up.
Speaker 1: Matt Staver of Liberty Council will join us Friday to
Speaker 1: talk about one of the big stories in the press box,
Speaker 1: which see what we did there is next right here
Speaker 1: on the Morning Show with Preston Scott twenty seven minutes
Speaker 1: past the hour. Yes, we're going in early because I
Speaker 1: want time. It's coming. Pollen season's coming. You know it,
Speaker 1: I know it, the yellow haze, uh huh. Yeah. I'm
Speaker 1: curious how much the snow and ice, the cold temps
Speaker 1: will delay, because we had about ten days of pretty
Speaker 1: much freezing or worse lower temps at night. And I'm
Speaker 1: curious how long that delays because last year this was
Speaker 1: when the pollen started, the final week of January. I remember,
Speaker 1: I absolutely remember. So I'll be curious to know observe
Speaker 1: when that first bit of dust appears on my car,
Speaker 1: because that's a cue for me and I will explain
Speaker 1: some other time. Welcome friends, if you're just joining us
Speaker 1: Morning Show with Preston Scott and Preston He's ose. This
Speaker 1: is what we're going to talk to Matt Staver about
Speaker 1: on Friday, California has dropped charges against Dave Dalladan and
Speaker 1: Sandra Merritt. They are the journalists, kind of the citizen journalists,
Speaker 1: but they're kind of more focused. It's not exactly a
Speaker 1: James o'kee thing, but it kind of is. But they're
Speaker 1: specific folks Planned Parenthood. They were the ones that captured
Speaker 1: the undercover video of executives with Planned Parenthood in California
Speaker 1: admitting that they harvest baby parts and sell them. That
Speaker 1: they perform abortions on babies, and while they are alive,
Speaker 1: they are harvesting parts. While they're killing these children, they're
Speaker 1: harvesting parts. Two companies admitted that they illegally sold aborted
Speaker 1: fetuses from Planned Parenthood. Planned Parenthood now facing nearly two
Speaker 1: billion dollars in false Claims Act case from disqualification of
Speaker 1: state and federal funds in Texas. It's interesting. In his
Speaker 1: press release, he said he's going to enter a no
Speaker 1: contest plea on a single charge, which he said involves
Speaker 1: no admission of wrongdoing, no fines, no probation cannot be used. Adversely,
Speaker 1: will be entered into judgment as a misdemeanor in six
Speaker 1: to twelve months, then converted to a not guilty plea
Speaker 1: and dismissed. That's the agreement. Apparently this all started because
Speaker 1: of Kamala Harris before there was anything. Kamala Harris rated
Speaker 1: these people's homes when she was Attorney General of California.
Speaker 1: This goes back to her. I'll tell you why this
Speaker 1: has happened. Guess who Donald Trump named as his nominee
Speaker 1: to lead the Civil Rights Division at the Department of Justice.
Speaker 1: Har Meat Dylan. Guess who harm Meat Dylan has his
Speaker 1: clients in California. Dave dalladan In, Sandra Merrit, the Attorney
Speaker 1: General for the state of California, Bob Bonta. He gets it.
Speaker 1: He does not want an investigation of his office and
Speaker 1: what they've done in this case. They're going to probably
Speaker 1: get one anyway, but he doesn't want a full investigation
Speaker 1: into his office. And this is my guess on how
Speaker 1: he's going to try his best to avoid it. A
Speaker 1: couple other little points here. Remember how I've said to
Speaker 1: you that this whole gender thing, this gender dysphoria, was
Speaker 1: propagated largely during COVID that kicked it off, and that
Speaker 1: it is absolutely a social media phenomenon. A study in
Speaker 1: the UK has found a fifth dfold increase between twenty
Speaker 1: eleven and twenty twenty one. The studies showed that in
Speaker 1: twenty eleven there were two hundred young people with confusion
Speaker 1: about their gender in the UK. You know what that
Speaker 1: number was in twenty twenty one, ten thousand, two hundred
Speaker 1: to ten thousand. That is a fifty times increase. We've
Speaker 1: been told no, that it's always been that way. They're
Speaker 1: just really then the numbers wouldn't change statistically that much.
Speaker 1: It'll be what it's always been. But no, no, it
Speaker 1: The point this illustrates is the importance of understanding what
Speaker 1: your kids are doing on social media, especially your middle
Speaker 1: schoolers and high schoolers. Parents get control. This stuff is
Speaker 1: strictly from social media, and it's primarily girls. There are
Speaker 1: some guys, but it's primarily girls. The guys get the
Speaker 1: attention because they're the ones trying to compete against girls
Speaker 1: and they're in the locker rooms. It doesn't reverse itself
Speaker 1: very often in that regard. But anyway, and oh by
Speaker 1: the way, ABC, CBS and NBC gave forty six minutes
Speaker 1: of coverage to Donald Trump's pardons three minutes of coverage
Speaker 1: to Joe Biden's pardons, just saying it hasn't changed. Forty
Speaker 1: one passed the hour. See I went early, so I
Speaker 1: and I still went late. The Morning Show with Preston Scott.
Speaker 4: Got a manly song. Don't you think he did a
Speaker 4: manly bump here? Kick a little dirt around? Uh huh,
Speaker 4: that's how we roll.
Speaker 1: Morning show. The fake news expert Jim Acosta has quit CNN.
Speaker 1: Jim Acosta is man. He was such a turd when
Speaker 1: he was covering the White House in Donald Trump. All
Speaker 1: he wanted to do was be self aggrandizing, and he didn't.
Speaker 1: He wasn't interested in getting answers in truth. Although he
Speaker 1: says I speak truth to power. I love that expression,
Speaker 1: truth to power.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 1: Jim, who doesn't have a job anymore, See he was
Speaker 1: CNN after all these years, has is slowly awakening to
Speaker 1: some realities slowly, and Jim Acosta found himself being offered
Speaker 1: the midnight to two am slot on CNN Big time.
Speaker 1: That's the big time. No offense, Jim, but that's the
Speaker 1: time slot I got on the weekends at KOY when
Speaker 1: I was like nineteen years old. He's leaving the network
Speaker 1: after fifteen years. This is the guy who made a
Speaker 1: proclamation that the journalists are ending up dead on the highway.
Speaker 1: That's a quote, dead on the highway. Excuse me because
Speaker 1: of Trump? Why what?
Speaker 4: What?
Speaker 1: What do you? What are you saying? Claiming the presence
Speaker 1: of Trump supporters has killed America itself? Said the media.
Speaker 1: Criticism of the media is a virus.
Speaker 2: Mh.
Speaker 1: This included one instance when then Press Secretary Kayley mcinanny
Speaker 1: told Acosta, go work on your internal cohesion. What a
Speaker 1: brilliant line that that actually that that actually might be
Speaker 1: a little bit better than I don't really care, Margaret,
Speaker 1: which will become an epic line for centuries to come. Perhaps.
Speaker 1: Then Vice President jd Vance on CBS said, I don't
Speaker 1: really care Margaret. Called Fox News abs factory consumed by
Speaker 1: brainless Republicans. Here you go, buddy, that'll help your audience.
Speaker 1: Called Tucker Carlson human manure spreader and a member of
Speaker 1: the American Taliban. Deemed Virginia a Soviet style police state
Speaker 1: because Governor Glenn Youngkin opposed critical race theory. Touted a
Speaker 1: guest claiming the Hunter Biden laptop had no validity. That
Speaker 1: didn't age well, and of course he peddled lives about
Speaker 1: Biden's cognitive impairment silence. Conservatives said there needed to be
Speaker 1: a discussion about the murder of the United Healthcare CEO.
Speaker 1: A discussion. See, Jim Acosta is just a vile person
Speaker 1: who's unredeemed. He doesn't know Jesus, and so he just
Speaker 1: has a mind that has been given over to this world.
Speaker 1: And it's really I feel sorry for people like him
Speaker 1: that are that lost and by all appearance and word,
Speaker 1: indeed as narcissistic a person as there could possibly be.
Speaker 1: He loves him some, Jim Acosta, But old Jim's found
Speaker 1: himself now unemployed. But he promised he would let his
Speaker 1: followers know. Okay, you let all fifty of them know,
Speaker 1: fifty one if you include your mom. All right, we
Speaker 1: come back. We got more to come. It is Wednesday
Speaker 1: on the Morning Show. Some numbers next.
Speaker 5: This is the Morning Show with Preston Scott.
Speaker 1: All right, here's the number. One hundred and sixty one
Speaker 1: point eight billion dollars in improper payments in twenty twenty
Speaker 1: four alone by the federal government. Now, I had to
Speaker 1: look into this story a little deeper, because it's too
Speaker 1: easy to just you know where we're The perspective many
Speaker 1: of us have is yeah, figures fraud not necessarily. I
Speaker 1: looked it up and the definition of an improper payment
Speaker 1: is when funding is distributed to the wrong recipient, it
Speaker 1: lacks proper documentation. It can include payments that should not
Speaker 1: have been made or that were made in the incorrect amount.
Speaker 1: And not all improper payments are fraud, but there is some.
Speaker 1: But what it does Point two is the need for
Speaker 1: accountability to put some context in this. It is estimated
Speaker 1: by the Government Accountability Office the GOAO that since two
Speaker 1: thousand and three, this goes back to the Bush administration,
Speaker 1: there has been two point eight trillion dollars of improper payments.
Speaker 1: That's two point eight trillion dollars of your tax dollars,
Speaker 1: my tax dollars being tossed out the window, while of
Speaker 1: flame gone wasted. Are these are the amounts that were improper.
Speaker 1: The people who should have been paid got paid. This
Speaker 1: is the amount that was wrong. That's tough to get
Speaker 1: your brain around, isn't it The cost of just the
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four improper payments? Is it enough for the
Speaker 1: US Marine Corps to buy two thousand ospreys. Those are
Speaker 1: those airplanes that convert up and rotate up and become
Speaker 1: helicopters two thousand. Imagine, imagine if we just said, okay,
Speaker 1: let's just set aside defense because it should always be
Speaker 1: properly funded. Let's just look at what where we might
Speaker 1: be with two point eight trillion dollars less debt. I
Speaker 1: want to point out Bill Clinton left office with US
Speaker 1: basically having balanced budgets and no debt. Basically, this has
Speaker 1: happened since George W. Bush. He started the spending spree.
Speaker 1: Now he'll point to the war with the Rock, the
Speaker 1: terrorist attacks, you could make a fair argument, but he
Speaker 1: also greased the wheels and started the spending spree of
Speaker 1: Barack Obama by authorizing spending on Obama's behalf in advance
Speaker 1: of his term in office. Anyway, Second hour is next,
Speaker 1: the Trump effect. All right, good morning, Welcome Morning Show
Speaker 1: with Pressed that Scott oppressed it. I'm laughing because I
Speaker 1: got a note from a listener. Thomas sent me this
Speaker 1: and he said, if you need a song for Friday morning,
Speaker 1: check this out. And it's a heavy metal singer do
Speaker 1: an amazing grace, and he said you can play it.
Speaker 1: There are no copyright restrictions. Now, obviously I can't Thomas
Speaker 1: take your word for it.
Speaker 2: But.
Speaker 1: I'm writing I'm getting in touch with the singer, the
Speaker 1: guy who performed it. I have a way of getting him,
Speaker 1: and I'm want to ask him if I can. I mean,
Speaker 1: I can play it. That's never the issue. The issue
Speaker 1: is never playing a song. I can play anything I want.
Speaker 1: The problem is that we record our shows and air
Speaker 1: them as podcasts, and apparently the music industry has a
Speaker 1: real issue with us playing fifteen seconds of a song
Speaker 1: or in this case now to start the show. It's
Speaker 1: obviously it's a full song we're gonna play on Friday.
Speaker 1: We start the show with a song on Friday because
Speaker 1: I want to, because it's my show, But we don't
Speaker 1: include that in the podcast for copyright purposes, just out
Speaker 1: of an abundance of caution. Now, I will tell you
Speaker 1: I could probably get permission to leave some songs in there,
Speaker 1: because I know some of the artists, at least through
Speaker 1: agents and publishing houses and pr people, I can probably
Speaker 1: obtain It's just a lot of work to do it.
Speaker 1: But this one is cool and it's crazy good, and
Speaker 1: so I'm going to attempt to get permission to put
Speaker 1: it out there and then keep it on the podcast.
Speaker 1: Playing It's not the issue, it's keeping it on the podcast.
Speaker 1: I think it would be fun to keep it on
Speaker 1: the podcast. So I just want you to know I'm
Speaker 1: going to endeavor to do that. It may be Friday
Speaker 1: if I hear back from the singer, but if it's not,
Speaker 1: I will wait until I hear back one or one
Speaker 1: way or the other. So I'm just letting you know
Speaker 1: the Trump effect. As we begin the second hour, we've
Speaker 1: documented it. The Trump effect was happening shortly after the election.
Speaker 1: He was the de facto president because Joe Biden was
Speaker 1: just wandering around literally not sure where he was at
Speaker 1: a given moment. He wasn't come on and and you know, anyway,
Speaker 1: this story stood out to me as a classic example
Speaker 1: of the Trump effect, and you wouldn't think it from
Speaker 1: the headline. Rhode Island judge specializing in immigration law resigns
Speaker 1: after FBI raid's office. Rhode Island judge resigns. The guy
Speaker 1: is Joseph Molina Flynn. Central Falls Municipal Court judge in Providence.
Speaker 1: Rhode Island Court authorized the raid. FBI apparently was investigating
Speaker 1: him for a while. This isn't just a Trump thing. Now,
Speaker 1: maybe pulling the trigger on the right eight is a
Speaker 1: Trump thing, but the investigation was underway. He specialized in
Speaker 1: immigration law his practice. I mean he came to the
Speaker 1: United States when he was nine from medig in Columbia,
Speaker 1: came on a tourist visa, remained in the country, and
Speaker 1: lived undocumented for fifteen years before obtaining lawful permanent residence status.
Speaker 1: Attended Johnson and Wales University, went on to the University
Speaker 1: of Michigan Law School and began practicing law, and then
Speaker 1: became a municipal judge in the city of Central Falls,
Speaker 1: Rhode Island. He was appointed in twenty twenty one. Isn't
Speaker 1: it interesting how the raid caused him to resign his
Speaker 1: office as a judge? Now why would that be? See,
Speaker 1: there's a new sheriff in town, and to borrow from
Speaker 1: the parlance, the sheriff has deputies, and the deputies have
Speaker 1: been authorized to deal with all manner of lawlessness. I
Speaker 1: feel like channeling my inner Beaufford T Justice. I think
Speaker 1: it's Beauford T Justice from Smoking the Bandit foul mouth
Speaker 1: but hilarious character. Jackie Gleason's ten past the hour. Again,
Speaker 1: there's a new sheriff in town. Things are different. I'm
Speaker 1: sure many of you have heard about Selena Gomez. Of course,
Speaker 1: she's got no tears for the child, the children being trafficked,
Speaker 1: human trafficking that leads to sex trafficking, that leads to
Speaker 1: drug running. She's got no tears for that. She had
Speaker 1: nothing to say about that. But let's set that aside
Speaker 1: for a second. This is part of the story that
Speaker 1: the mainstream media wants to ignore. I don't know what
Speaker 1: the number is right now, but I want to say
Speaker 1: that that ICE has found already tens of thousands, if
Speaker 1: not more, of the missing What three hundred and fifty
Speaker 1: thousand children? Wasn't that the number something like that? It
Speaker 1: was some crazy number of children that literally are missing.
Speaker 1: We don't know where they are. They've already tracked down
Speaker 1: a bunch of them. And Tom Homan, the Borders Are
Speaker 1: is now partnering with Goya Cares. Goya, you may remember,
Speaker 1: Goya is a unashamedly conservative company. It is perhaps the
Speaker 1: largest Hispanic owned company in America, and Goya Foods produces
Speaker 1: and distributes item items in the country, as well as
Speaker 1: Spanish speaking countries, and in twenty twenty one they launched
Speaker 1: something called Goya Cares and its focus was combating child
Speaker 1: trafficking and advocating for children's mental health. So they are
Speaker 1: addressing now and health helping Tom Homan. Homan is personally
Speaker 1: out involved in some of these raids and rescues, getting
Speaker 1: these children and helping reunite them with their families. There's
Speaker 1: a hotline that's been set up and that's a part
Speaker 1: of the story that the mainstream media doesn't want to tell.
Speaker 1: There are victims inside this illegal immigration, human trafficking, cartel
Speaker 1: run invasion of our southern border. Now we have problems
Speaker 1: on our northern border, but they're dwarfed by the southern border.
Speaker 1: Now the southern border has been basically what was a
Speaker 1: flood is a trickle. The people now getting by are
Speaker 1: the ones that we really want to catch because they
Speaker 1: they are they are efforting to elude and evade anyway,
Speaker 1: This is a significant story, and again it's one that
Speaker 1: the mainstreamers don't want told. A documentary, the maker is
Speaker 1: going along and tagging in on this stuff and embedded
Speaker 1: with the teams that are rounding up bad guys. We're
Speaker 1: getting the bad ones out. Have you heard the leader
Speaker 1: of a trend de Araguaya or whatever. Our Eragua has
Speaker 1: been captured in New York City. Keep it coming, Let's
Speaker 1: keep and word is getting out. Don't come to America.
Speaker 1: Good people see the people that legally want to enter
Speaker 1: this country. They don't want to be part of that.
Speaker 1: They want to do it the right way. They don't
Speaker 1: want to be caught up in all of this trafficking stuff.
Speaker 1: This is making for safer better. Immigration sixteen passed that
Speaker 1: I mentioned, there's a new share written down. I probably
Speaker 1: need to add right about now that the Florida Legislature
Speaker 1: has created an unnecessary showdown. They passed a bill last
Speaker 1: night and it now goes to the governor. It has
Speaker 1: a lot of good things in it. But the part
Speaker 1: that to me is unacceptable is that the immigration law
Speaker 1: that the legislature passed places Wilton Simpson, the AGG commissioner,
Speaker 1: in charge of the illegal immigration issue in our state.
Speaker 1: I think it would look it's a Republican legislature, Republican governor.
Speaker 1: I'm a Republican, but I'm fair and when something stinks,
Speaker 1: I don't care whether it's red or blue. Democrat, Republican
Speaker 1: I don't care. This stinks, and I'll tell you why.
Speaker 1: And to the Republican leaders and some of you senators
Speaker 1: and reps that listen, and your aids that are listening,
Speaker 1: I'm going to tell you why it stinks. You have
Speaker 1: opened the door to an appearance of evil. I'm just curious.
Speaker 1: I don't have the answer to the question I'm about
Speaker 1: to ask how much money did Wilton Simpson get in
Speaker 1: various campaigns from Truely, I don't have the answer. Did
Speaker 1: he get any were contributions made to Wilton Simpson? By
Speaker 1: true leave has truly been involved in contributing to any
Speaker 1: of the leadership of the House of the Senate. How
Speaker 1: much big ag money has gone to Wilton Simpson? I
Speaker 1: mean he did end up as the Commissioner of Agriculture. Now, Historically,
Speaker 1: other than Nicky Freed, who is an embarrassment to the office,
Speaker 1: we have routinely hired people that had a history from
Speaker 1: a family business perspective of agriculture, which is what I
Speaker 1: think you would want as an egg commissioner, someone that
Speaker 1: understands not just agriculture but consumer services. But a fair
Speaker 1: observation would be that agriculture has had issues with using
Speaker 1: illegal immigrants in its industry for decades. This is nothing new.
Speaker 1: Don't feign insult or how don't stop it. Just stop it.
Speaker 1: Remember we're now in the world of common sense. In
Speaker 1: what world does placing the AGG commissioner in charge of
Speaker 1: illegal immigration makes sense? That is a fatal mistake. And
Speaker 1: it's either a wink and a nod to the marijuana
Speaker 1: industry and big agriculture, or it's a thumb in the
Speaker 1: in the eye to the governor or it's both. But
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what it isn't It isn't smart. It's
Speaker 1: horrifically bad wisdom. I have no doubt this is going
Speaker 1: to cost me interviews. I have no doubt it's okay.
Speaker 1: It's My show does not thrive on guests. It thrives
Speaker 1: on news and you, the voters, the citizens, the people
Speaker 1: of Florida. You know. I had someone write me a
Speaker 1: comment yesterday. I'm not sure if I can dig it up.
Speaker 1: Perhaps I can find it here. It would seem that
Speaker 1: a super majority has this tendency to self sacrifice and
Speaker 1: shoot itself. And your handling of this, everybody, this part
Speaker 1: of this blame goes to the governor as well. Your
Speaker 1: handling of this has made it a national issue and
Speaker 1: has caused Democrats to step back and go. Now they
Speaker 1: have to act on it, and I don't know that
Speaker 1: they're capable, But don't let that become arrogance. I think
Speaker 1: it's important for you folks to reconsider what you're doing,
Speaker 1: because I don't believe you have a veto proof majority
Speaker 1: on this vote. But now you've got a problem. What's
Speaker 1: the governor going to do if he vetos it and
Speaker 1: sticks it right back in your lap for the session?
Speaker 1: You guys are going to carry a grudge. You're gonna
Speaker 1: act like adults. I don't know. I don't have the
Speaker 1: answer to that. That's up to you, but I'll tell
Speaker 1: you what this is a I said this before. This
Speaker 1: is a bad look, and y'all have only yourselves to blame.
Speaker 1: Twenty eight minut it's passed the hour. We are halfway
Speaker 1: through the show. Hans von Spakovsky. Next hour and we
Speaker 1: will do a bit of a deep dive best we
Speaker 1: can in the time allowed on the fourteenth Amendment. He
Speaker 1: is a constitutional expert. He has written a lot on
Speaker 1: the fourteenth Amendment, which is the centerpiece of birthright citizenship.
Speaker 1: Where did we get that what is the history of it.
Speaker 1: We're gonna unpack that. I am. I'll probably ask three questions,
Speaker 1: one in each segment, say go, and so excited to
Speaker 1: have It's been a while since we've had Hans on
Speaker 1: the program Friend of the Show, and he is the
Speaker 1: man when it comes to understanding the United States Constitution,
Speaker 1: election law and like matters. He is our go to
Speaker 1: and we are thrilled to have him on the show ABC, CBS, NBC.
Speaker 1: You know, we've talked in the last half hour about
Speaker 1: there being a new sheriff and the Trump effect, and
Speaker 1: there's clearly been an effect in the media just availability.
Speaker 1: There's a huge difference. I think someone said that they
Speaker 1: did the math and Trump took more questions in his
Speaker 1: first week in office than Biden took in four years.
Speaker 1: Get your brain around that. Now, Biden's press secretary, Biden,
Speaker 1: he was just Biden is time Sorry anyway, It hasn't changed.
Speaker 1: On the main networks, ABC, CBS, NBC, they spent over
Speaker 1: forty six minutes of coverage within a forty eight hour
Speaker 1: period of time on Trump pardoning January sixth hostages. By contrast,
Speaker 1: the last minute pardons of Joe Biden of his family
Speaker 1: three minutes, three minutes between three networks, forty six minutes
Speaker 1: between three networks in two days, three minutes in two days,
Speaker 1: forty six minutes in two days. I'm just saying, this
Speaker 1: is one of those things I told you today was
Speaker 1: a show of numbers. The numbers don't lie. The bias
Speaker 1: is deeply embedded in the media. It's not going to change.
Speaker 1: You need to understand that as you consume the media.
Speaker 1: You just need to know, and I'll be honest with you.
Speaker 1: Shows like mine exist for two reasons. One Rush Limbaugh. Two.
Speaker 1: The mainstream media has lost its way. It is not trusted.
Speaker 1: It is patently dishonest, and they're bad at their job too.
Speaker 1: They're not just dishonest, they're bad. They're just not good.
Speaker 1: They're not even good at being dishonest. More numbers. Studying
Speaker 1: the UK revealed a fifty fold that is, a fifty
Speaker 1: times increase of children with gender issues in one decade.
Speaker 1: Fifty times. I told you this gender dysphoria was completely
Speaker 1: and totally fueled by social media. I rest my case.
Speaker 1: And then lastly, Dave Dalladan, Sandra Merritt. They are the
Speaker 1: journalists that uncovered planned parenthoods selling baby fetuses and parts
Speaker 1: of babies, aborted to organ harvesting body part harvesting organizations
Speaker 1: who oh, by the way, have admitted to it. Planned
Speaker 1: Parenthood used the State of California to prevent them from
Speaker 1: revealing these videos. These two people had their homes rated,
Speaker 1: they had their lives up, just overturned for the last
Speaker 1: eight years. California threw out and drops charges against them.
Speaker 1: There's more to this story. It might have something to
Speaker 1: do with their attorney, Harmeat Dylon, being picked by Joe
Speaker 1: Biden to head up the Civil Rights Division of the
Speaker 1: Department of Justice. Just saying, just saying, the State of
Speaker 1: California Attorney General's office probably doesn't want an investigation, just saying,
Speaker 1: forty one minutes past. Then I'm gonna give you a
Speaker 1: bad idea and i'm gonna give you a good idea together.
Speaker 5: Next, thanks for listening, It's The Morning Show with Preston Scott.
Speaker 1: All right, let's do this in order of bad and good.
Speaker 1: All right, It's sort of like a mini version of
Speaker 1: Best and Worst of the Week, in that I'm gonna
Speaker 1: give you something bad first, and then I'm gonna lighten
Speaker 1: things up with something good. Right now. There is this
Speaker 1: insatiable appetite to cut the size of government, and I'm
Speaker 1: grateful for it. But I don't know, if you know,
Speaker 1: what can happen if you start just flipping a knife around,
Speaker 1: you cut yourself. I mean, you need to be careful
Speaker 1: with what you're putting a scalpel on, don't you. I mean,
Speaker 1: you can cut something that you don't want to cut.
Speaker 1: And US Senator Mike Lee of Utah's introduced three bills,
Speaker 1: but the one I want to focus on is the
Speaker 1: one to do away with TSA. He wants to do
Speaker 1: away with TSA. He believes that the airports themselves, or
Speaker 1: really the airlines, the airline industry itself, can police itself.
Speaker 1: I don't agree. Here's what I think happens. Let me
Speaker 1: first back up. I categorize this as defense of the people.
Speaker 1: To me, TSA is not run well. They don't have
Speaker 1: enough good people in their midst There's some wonderful people
Speaker 1: working TSA, and there's some real dirt bags working in TSA.
Speaker 1: They're just are they steal stuff? They're like, you know,
Speaker 1: it's like a lot of things. You know, when you
Speaker 1: have a little authority, sometimes people take advantage of that,
Speaker 1: But you cannot convince me that putting this back on
Speaker 1: the airlines will do anything other than dramatically raise airfares.
Speaker 1: That's a cost. And I get back to I think
Speaker 1: this is a bad idea because I think it's a
Speaker 1: role that our government needs to play when it comes
Speaker 1: to the airline industry. I go so far as to
Speaker 1: say the bus industry. I just I think that, you know,
Speaker 1: those types of screenings and technology needs to be something
Speaker 1: that the government provides. They just need to do it better.
Speaker 1: Now that's said, here's the good side. Spirit airlines is
Speaker 1: no longer allowing passengers with inappropriate clothing or inappropriate tattoos
Speaker 1: to fly. I love this specifying now that and this
Speaker 1: is now in effect passengers who inadequately clothe themselves, in
Speaker 1: other words, see through clothing that exposes parts of the body, privates, breasts,
Speaker 1: those kinds of things, you're just not going to fly.
Speaker 1: You wear clothing that has profanities on it, you're just
Speaker 1: not going to fly. You have tattoos, you just and
Speaker 1: guess what, it's their business. They're allowed to do this.
Speaker 1: You can't be barefoot. That's common in a lot of airlines.
Speaker 1: But the tattoos is a new one. I love it.
Speaker 1: Of course, I don't fly Spirit airlines. And there are
Speaker 1: people that are joking left and right about well, they
Speaker 1: just killed their clientele. They may have I don't know,
Speaker 1: But what I know is it's being well received in
Speaker 1: the airline history by passengers. Now they can just deal
Speaker 1: with people getting drunk on planes, including pilots. I was
Speaker 1: just pilots of the planes, you know. I mean, it's
Speaker 1: probably don't what that's happened either, right, So what is
Speaker 1: the real story? What does the Constitution say in the
Speaker 1: fourteenth Amendment about birthright citizenship? I came to the conclusion
Speaker 1: that most people really don't know, and so I decided
Speaker 1: to find someone a lot smarter than all of us
Speaker 1: whose specialty is the US the United States Constitution, and
Speaker 1: that's Hans von Spokowsky. He will join us in just
Speaker 1: a few minutes. And yes, it took me a couple
Speaker 1: of visits with Hans to get his last name right.
Speaker 1: The first few times I had him on the show,
Speaker 1: I just that was a tongue twister, Hans von Spakovsky.
Speaker 1: It took a minute saying I had to work at that.
Speaker 1: It was a little bit of a a tongue twister,
Speaker 1: which yes I do as well. I practice tongue twisters.
Speaker 1: But you don't care about that. What I bet you
Speaker 1: do care about is that Google Maps will be acknowledging
Speaker 1: the Golf of America and Google Maps will be acknowledging
Speaker 1: Mount McKinley. The Department of Interior announced that it would
Speaker 1: be officially renamed the Golf of America and that America's
Speaker 1: highest mountain will once again be called Mount McKinley once
Speaker 1: that takes place officially. The company that owns Google Alphabet
Speaker 1: has announced We've received a few questions about naming within
Speaker 1: Google Maps. We have a long standing practice of applying
Speaker 1: name changes when they have been updated in official government
Speaker 1: sources for geographic features in the United States. This is
Speaker 1: when the Geographic Names Information System is updated. When that happens,
Speaker 1: we will update Google Maps in the United States quickly
Speaker 1: to show Mount McKinley and Gulf of America. Oh, come on,
Speaker 1: you gotta laugh at this. I mean, here's the best
Speaker 1: part of it. You know, the people like Margaret Brennan
Speaker 1: of CBS are so arrogant. You think, really, you really
Speaker 1: think that's the most important. And I don't know that
Speaker 1: you said that that's just the attitude you think. This
Speaker 1: is one of the most important priorities. To rename the
Speaker 1: Gulf of Mexico, Gulf of America, to rename Mount Dinnalley,
Speaker 1: Mount McKinley, Margaret took five seconds. Next took five seconds.
Speaker 1: It's just these are the things that people in America
Speaker 1: are getting a taste of how government can operate. It
Speaker 1: can operate swiftly, it can get out of its own way.
Speaker 1: It can do the common sense thing, which, by the way,
Speaker 1: is usually the simplest thing, which, by the way, ergo
Speaker 1: becomes the most cost effective and efficient thing. When government
Speaker 1: grows too big, it has to become complicated. I would
Speaker 1: bet the ven diagram of the United States government is
Speaker 1: literally a laugh a minute, the overlap where you have
Speaker 1: multiple agencies doing similar things, if not same things. All right,
Speaker 1: when we come back the man, he is not a myth,
Speaker 1: but he is a legend. Hans von Spakowski joins me. Next,
Speaker 1: birthright citizenship. What you need to know next, you're just
Speaker 1: joining us ruminators. Welcome to the third hour of the
Speaker 1: Morning Show with Preston Scott Wednesday on the program Show
Speaker 1: fifty three five. He is Jose. I happen to be Preston,
Speaker 1: and I am thrilled to be joined once again by
Speaker 1: the man Hans von Spakowski with a heritage foundation. I
Speaker 1: reached out to Hans to help us better understand this
Speaker 1: issue called birthright, citizenship and the fourteenth Amendment. Hans, welcome
Speaker 1: back to the show, my friend. How are you, Preston.
Speaker 6: I'm doing just great, heading into Washington, which is still
Speaker 6: roiling as if it's been hit by the Trump tornado.
Speaker 1: You're laughing, but people in your world have to be
Speaker 1: loving what's happening.
Speaker 6: Oh, let me tell you. It's the middle of the week,
Speaker 6: a week and a half after he came in, and
Speaker 6: every single day with the moves the Trump is making,
Speaker 6: It's as if I'm having Christmas Morning every single day
Speaker 6: and I'm going down to the tree and every present
Speaker 6: I could ever have wished for is under the tree.
Speaker 6: I mean, it's just great.
Speaker 1: I love it, absolutely love it. All right, let's dial
Speaker 1: in here for a second fourth on the fourteenth Amendment.
Speaker 1: Explain to our listeners, let's go back and bring up
Speaker 1: the fourteenth fourteenth Amendment in its context. What was its purpose?
Speaker 6: Well, the purpose was to make sure that new freed
Speaker 6: slaves would become citizens of the United States. But everyone
Speaker 6: today who is saying that this also means in the
Speaker 6: fourteenth Amendment that the children of aliens who are in
Speaker 6: the United States, whether they're here legally or even illegally,
Speaker 6: are also citizens, are just wrong. They are ignoring not
Speaker 6: only the language of the Fourteenth Amendment, but it's history.
Speaker 6: And this is very and it was very easy to understand.
Speaker 6: All those who say, if you're born in the US,
Speaker 6: you're a citizen, they're only looking at the first half
Speaker 6: of the fourteenth Amendment. What the fourteenth Amendment says, very simple,
Speaker 6: is you're a citizen if you're born in the United
Speaker 6: States and subject to its jurisdiction. And what the sponsors
Speaker 6: of the fourteenth Amendment in Congress said, this is very clear,
Speaker 6: it's in the transcripts of all their debates, was that
Speaker 6: subject to the jurisdiction of the United States meant you
Speaker 6: owe your political allegiance to the US. Your subject to
Speaker 6: the US is political allegiance. You don't owe it to
Speaker 6: any foreign nation. And the easiest way for folks to
Speaker 6: understand it is this, If a German tourist comes to
Speaker 6: the US and she has a baby while she's here.
Speaker 6: That baby's a German citizen. Why because her mother is
Speaker 6: a German citizen, her political allegiance is owed to who,
Speaker 6: the German government. Because she's a German citizen, she's not
Speaker 6: a citizen of the US. And by the way, President's
Speaker 6: only three cases ever before the Supreme Court of US,
Speaker 6: all in the late eighteen hundreds. In one of them,
Speaker 6: in eighteen seventy two, the slaughter House Cases, the Supreme
Speaker 6: Court said the Fourteenth Amendment, the way that term should
Speaker 6: be interpreted, means that the children of foreign citizens in
Speaker 6: the US are not citizens in the US. A few
Speaker 6: years later, an American Indian sued the government, saying, Hey,
Speaker 6: I'm a citizen of the US. I was born in
Speaker 6: the US, and the US Supreme Court said, no, you're not.
Speaker 6: You are subject to the jurisdiction of your tribal government,
Speaker 6: not the US government, and therefore you're not a US citizen.
Speaker 6: Native Americans only became citizens in the nineteen twenties when
Speaker 6: Congress passed the Indian Citizenship back. If being born in
Speaker 6: the US made you a US citizen, there would have
Speaker 6: been no need for Congress to pass that pass that law.
Speaker 1: On standby Hans van Spokowsky with me. He's from the
Speaker 1: Heritage Foundation. He's a constitutional law expert and offering analysis
Speaker 1: here of the fourteenth Amendment and specifically birthright citizenship. Did
Speaker 1: we get to that? How did we get to where
Speaker 1: we are today? We'll keep talking next back with Hans
Speaker 1: von Spakovsky of the Heritage Foundation and Hans, how did
Speaker 1: we get to where we are right now over the
Speaker 1: last couple of decades where the interpretation of the fourteenth
Speaker 1: Amendment has expanded so much, and it might have taken
Speaker 1: place prior to the last couple of decades. But is
Speaker 1: it conflation? I mean, that's something the left loves to do.
Speaker 1: They love to take the issue of immigration and merge
Speaker 1: it with illegal immigration, and they're two distinctly different issues.
Speaker 1: Is that what happened here or something.
Speaker 6: Else that's part of what happened. There's a third Supreme
Speaker 6: Court case. I think it was wrongly decided, but it's
Speaker 6: the one that the supporters birthright citizen always pointed to.
Speaker 6: In the late eighteen nineties, there was another case before
Speaker 6: the Supreme Court. In this case, it was the sun
Speaker 6: of two Chinese immigrants who had come to the US.
Speaker 6: They were here legally, they were permanent resident aliens. But
Speaker 6: you'll recall that we had passed these things called the
Speaker 6: Chinese Exclusion Acts, which said that no Chinese individual could
Speaker 6: ever become a US citizen. So Supreme Court said that
Speaker 6: because these were permanent resident aliens, their son would be
Speaker 6: considered a US citizen. Now I think that's a misinterpretation
Speaker 6: of the law. But even if you take that case
Speaker 6: into consideration, all that means is that the kids of
Speaker 6: permanent resident aliens, which is a very small number, might
Speaker 6: be considered US citizens, not the kids of illegal aliens
Speaker 6: or diplomats. What happened as far as we've been able
Speaker 6: to trace, and we've done as a heritage of this,
Speaker 6: we've an extensive research of this. It seemed to change
Speaker 6: during the Prize Surprise the Roosevelt administration, when they were
Speaker 6: doing a lot of things. The Roosevelt administration apparently decided, well,
Speaker 6: you know, if you're born in the US, we'll give
Speaker 6: you a US passport. And it kind of devolved from there.
Speaker 6: So all those people who are saying the Trump is
Speaker 6: wrong about this, they're shooting from the hip, and including,
Speaker 6: by the way, the judge in Seattle who said Oh,
Speaker 6: it's blatantly unconstitutional what Trump is doing. Oh, he's blatantly
Speaker 6: ignorant of the history of this. And you know, nobody
Speaker 6: should pay any attention to what that judge said. Think
Speaker 6: about this, Preston. Trump issues the order. The next day
Speaker 6: along suit is filed, and within a day the judge
Speaker 6: issues an injunction against it. How much research do you
Speaker 6: think he was able to do in a day on this?
Speaker 4: Why?
Speaker 6: Absolutely not.
Speaker 1: He stated that he believed that the states suing have
Speaker 1: a great likelihood of success. But in reality, has there
Speaker 1: ever been a testing of.
Speaker 6: This before the US Supreme Court?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 1: Well, I mean the time.
Speaker 6: The only time it's been tested is in those three
Speaker 6: cases in the late eighteen hundreds, and those cases are
Speaker 6: all on the other side. And the only way this
Speaker 6: judge could issue an injunction against this is by ignoring
Speaker 6: ignoring those Supreme Court cases.
Speaker 1: I was going to say, they likely found the right
Speaker 1: judge at the right in the right district to hear
Speaker 1: the case. But didn't Trump, in essence, do this just
Speaker 1: to provoke that type of response, So it ends up, yes,
Speaker 1: in front of the Supreme Court eventually.
Speaker 6: Yes, that's exactly what's going on. The Supreme Court needs
Speaker 6: to one hundred and twenty five years or more after
Speaker 6: the last decision on this, they need to put the
Speaker 6: final word in on this. The same way, remember the
Speaker 6: Second Amendment, the right of all of us personally to
Speaker 6: bear arms, that really had never been before the Supreme
Speaker 6: Court until what ten years ago when the Supreme Court
Speaker 6: finally got a case on this and finally said, yes,
Speaker 6: it is a personal right. And that's the same thing here.
Speaker 6: We need to get a final disposition from the US
Speaker 6: Supreme Court on it.
Speaker 1: I'm glad you use that example, Hans. When we come back,
Speaker 1: I want to kind of use that to maybe ask
Speaker 1: a question as it relates to likely arguments to kind
Speaker 1: of change the Fourteenth Amendment into something it was never
Speaker 1: intend it to be. We're gonna get to that next
Speaker 1: one more segment with Hans von Spakowski next on the
Speaker 1: Morning Show with Preston Scott. We've commented of late that
Speaker 1: it just seems like democrats and leftists still want people
Speaker 1: to pick their crops, and that's what this whole birthright
Speaker 1: citizenship argument is. They need a victim class, they need voters,
Speaker 1: they need people indebted to them, and we're learning about
Speaker 1: the fourteenth Amendment from an expert on the US Constitution,
Speaker 1: Hans von Spakovsky of the Heritage Foundation. Hans I mentioned
Speaker 1: to you in the break second Amendment advocates have long said, Look,
Speaker 1: the Supreme Court has used things like commonly used firearms
Speaker 1: in the It's out there, it's been out there for years.
Speaker 1: We're not taking guns away from people. We're not taking
Speaker 1: that specific gun away from people. Is there any chance
Speaker 1: that there's an argument that they're going to make that
Speaker 1: allowing illegals to be in this country and to have
Speaker 1: residents in this country is now so commonplace we can't
Speaker 1: change it.
Speaker 6: No, they should not allow the potential political and other
Speaker 6: consequences of a decision to affect their choice. Their job
Speaker 6: is to look at the fourteenth Amendment exactly what the
Speaker 6: text of it is, and what was the understanding of
Speaker 6: what that text meant at the time it was passed.
Speaker 6: And the understanding, like I said, is absolutely clear when
Speaker 6: you look at the discussions and debates in Congress over
Speaker 6: it by the sponsors of it, and they very adamantly
Speaker 6: and very clearly said, this only applies to individuals who
Speaker 6: are subject to the complete jururisdiction of the US. And
Speaker 6: by the way, for here's the other mistake that is
Speaker 6: made by folks. They say, well, if you're in the US,
Speaker 6: you're subject to the jurisdiction of the US. No, you're
Speaker 6: subject to the territorial jurisdiction of the US. What that
Speaker 6: means is again go back to the German tourists. The
Speaker 6: German tourists when they're here, that to bey our laws.
Speaker 6: Right if they mug somebody, well, rob a bank, yeah,
Speaker 6: obviously you can prosecute them. But they are not subject
Speaker 6: to the political jurisdiction of the US. They can't be
Speaker 6: called for jury duty because they're not a citizen. They
Speaker 6: can't be drafted into the army if we bring back
Speaker 6: the draft. That's what being subject to the jurisdiction of
Speaker 6: the US means. And that's again why if the Supreme
Speaker 6: Court properly interprets the phrase, they will rule on Trump's
Speaker 6: side in this.
Speaker 1: I've mentioned to people that make the arguments that you're
Speaker 1: suggesting Hans that that well, they're they're here, so they
Speaker 1: ought to be citizens. I've said, try that, try going
Speaker 1: to another country abroad and let me know how that works.
Speaker 6: Out for you, right, Or think about this and look
Speaker 6: I'll use my wife as an example. Her father worked
Speaker 6: for a big American company. He was stationed in Manila,
Speaker 6: the Manila, the Philippines, and so she was born in Manila.
Speaker 6: When she was born in that foreign country in the Philippines,
Speaker 6: she did not become a Philippine citizen. She was a
Speaker 6: US citizen because both of her parents were US citizens.
Speaker 6: That is the same for every child born in this
Speaker 6: country to an illegal alien, if their parents are here
Speaker 6: illegally from Mexico, they are Mexican citizens. And the importance
Speaker 6: to that also is that all these people who say, oh, well,
Speaker 6: if we do this, these children will be stateless wrong.
Speaker 6: Every illegal alien and born in the US to illegal
Speaker 6: alien parents, for example, from Mexico, they are Mexican citizens
Speaker 6: right and can go back to Mexico with their parents,
Speaker 6: which is what ought to happen.
Speaker 1: Hans enclosing, give me the timeline that you would expect
Speaker 1: on this. Does this get sped up to the appellate
Speaker 1: level and then potentially the Supreme Court, because even if
Speaker 1: it Appeals court overrules the judge in Seattle, it'll be
Speaker 1: appealed again. Does it get fast tracked because it's an
Speaker 1: executive order or because of the nature of the problem.
Speaker 1: I mean, what speeds this up, what speeds it.
Speaker 6: Up is that there aren't any there's no factual dispute.
Speaker 6: We don't have a dispute about any of the facts.
Speaker 6: This is purely a case about the law. How do
Speaker 6: you interpret the fourteenth Amendment correctly? It's not going to
Speaker 6: get to the Supreme Court and its current term. The
Speaker 6: current term ends in June, and that's just not going
Speaker 6: to happen. But I expect this will get sped through
Speaker 6: the appellate process and we'll probably get to the Supreme
Speaker 6: Court by the end of this year.
Speaker 1: Hans, thanks so much for the time. I always appreciate
Speaker 1: you making it for us and I wish you nothing
Speaker 1: but the best.
Speaker 6: Thank you, sir, Thank you, Preston, Bye.
Speaker 1: Bye, Hans Vosbakowski with us from the Heritage Foundation. There
Speaker 1: you go. There is your primer, your primer, take your
Speaker 1: pick on the fourteenth Amendment. It's kind of kind of
Speaker 1: open and shut, isn't it. Yeah, kind of is kind
Speaker 1: of sort is nothing complicated about it. But instead of
Speaker 1: just accepting, we got to fight through it. Remember what
Speaker 1: I've said, Democrats do whatever they want until the law
Speaker 1: says otherwise. In this case, they obstruct everything they want
Speaker 1: until the law says otherwise. Twenty seven past the hour. Yeah,
Speaker 1: in case you're wondering, you can hear that conversation with
Speaker 1: Hans and share it with your favorite illiberal friends. Certainly
Speaker 1: on the show podcast, but I recommend you just subscribe to,
Speaker 1: and link to, and send a link to the Conversations podcast.
Speaker 1: The Conversations podcast is specifically our special guests, not our
Speaker 1: weekly routine guests, but our special guests, and we take
Speaker 1: just that conversation and put it on a separate podcast.
Speaker 1: I learned that that podcast has been listened to better
Speaker 1: than I think one point two million times. A lot
Speaker 1: of people give that a listen. That's exciting, sweet, but
Speaker 1: it is a way for you to not have to
Speaker 1: find it in the middle of the show or where
Speaker 1: it is in the podcast. You can just that conversation. Now,
Speaker 1: that'll be it on the Conversations podcast from today's show.
Speaker 1: That's all that'll be lifted. The rest of the show,
Speaker 1: which has been spectacular, is on the podcast. So make
Speaker 1: sure you are subscribed, maybe even assign it a button
Speaker 1: if you've not checked out the new iHeartRadio app, the
Speaker 1: new redesigned. iHeartRadio app. It's a thing of beauty and
Speaker 1: just like the old school radios, when you went boot,
Speaker 1: push that button in, it was that station. Boot that
Speaker 1: button in, it was that station. You can assign the
Speaker 1: radio station you're listening to, the show you're listening to,
Speaker 1: the podcast you listen to most often, you can assign
Speaker 1: them a button and then there it is. It's it's brilliant,
Speaker 1: probably the smartest app in the history of the world.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do a good trump. Other people do it
Speaker 1: better than me. I just I just I capture.
Speaker 2: The essence of the Donald.
Speaker 1: Mister president. Not the tallest president in history six foot three,
Speaker 1: Abraham Lincoln six foot four. I don't know if you
Speaker 1: knew that California drops charges against pro life journalist Dave
Speaker 1: Dalladan and Sandra Merritt. This is a huge development. I
Speaker 1: think what's behind the decision to drop it is that
Speaker 1: their attorney Harmeat Dylan has been nominated to lead the
Speaker 1: Civil Rights Division of the Department of Justice. What do
Speaker 1: you want to do first? Ms?
Speaker 2: Dylan?
Speaker 1: You know I have some questions about what's going on
Speaker 1: in California. Let's check there. I think the Attorney general
Speaker 1: for the California citizens. Bob Banta is a little nervous
Speaker 1: in the service about getting his records checked. This prosecution
Speaker 1: goes back to the rating of their homes Dalladan and
Speaker 1: Merit maybe in twenty sixteen or something like that, when
Speaker 1: Kamala was Attorney general. She authorized the raids before they
Speaker 1: were ever charged. And remember what they uncovered. They recorded
Speaker 1: Planned Parenthood executives bragging about harvesting baby parts. It pulled
Speaker 1: the veil off of this absurdity. Planned Parenthood is all
Speaker 1: about protecting women. Planned Parenthood is a butcher factory and
Speaker 1: they don't protect women, They harm them anyway. Matt Staver
Speaker 1: will join us Friday. He's been involved in the case
Speaker 1: of Sandra Merritt and knows it well as well as
Speaker 1: the story with Dave Dallad, and we'll get more on that.
Speaker 1: A couple other quick items here. The number of children
Speaker 1: with gender dysphoria in the UK has risen in ten
Speaker 1: years fiftyfold. They went from two hundred under eighteen's suffering,
Speaker 1: if we dare call it that, to ten thousand ten
Speaker 1: years later. It is a social contagion. It is spread
Speaker 1: by social media platforms. Little girls and to certain extent,
Speaker 1: little boys going through puberty sometimes struggle this just in
Speaker 1: and social media. Just Satan uses social media to jump
Speaker 1: on these insecurities. And then, lastly, ABCNBC and CBS have
Speaker 1: given the pardons of Donald Trump fifteen times more time
Speaker 1: on the air than Joe Biden's pardons of his family.
Speaker 1: Let's put some numbers to it. The three networks combined
Speaker 1: in a forty eight hour window, spent three minutes on
Speaker 1: Joe Biden's pardons, forty six minutes on Trump's forty one
Speaker 1: minutes past. More numbers. We're gonna end the show with numbers. Numbers,
Speaker 1: more numbers. Next, here's the number. Twenty five point one
Speaker 1: seven seconds. Twenty five point one seven seconds, that's how
Speaker 1: much time it took quotation marks Sadie Shriner to run
Speaker 1: two hundred meters. He ran it faster than all of
Speaker 1: the girls of the meet by nearly two seconds second place. Now,
Speaker 1: just so you know, two seconds in a two hundred
Speaker 1: meter race is an eternity. It is two hundred meters.
Speaker 1: It's usually boom boom, maybe boom boom, not boom boom.
Speaker 1: That's crossing the line, getting the tape. And even though
Speaker 1: he demolished the other women in the meet. He complained
Speaker 1: about not getting a very good start and not really
Speaker 1: handling the turn very well, and his spikes nearly fell off.
Speaker 1: Poor guy. Yeah, once you have a few French cries,
Speaker 1: good news is the season just started and I'm going
Speaker 1: to leave everything on the track at Nationals with a
Speaker 1: transgender pride flag emoji. So he's competing against biological women
Speaker 1: and that's why Congress has just got to do something
Speaker 1: because the NCAA's cowards. They are filled with cowards. I
Speaker 1: just want you to think for a second. The other
Speaker 1: girls in this meet train their butt off and they
Speaker 1: can't even come close. How many more girls now are
Speaker 1: gonna say? Why bother? Why bother? Now? I continue to say.
Speaker 1: The only way this changes faster is when is if
Speaker 1: the girls in these competitions refuse to compete. Don't compete.
Speaker 1: Let him run around the track all by his little lonesome.
Speaker 1: The mental illness is obvious, and he's citing the inability
Speaker 1: to find a place to transfer in the transfer portal
Speaker 1: because of people being scared to support him. Maybe people
Speaker 1: are awakening to the fact that they're done being bullied
Speaker 1: into supporting people like you. Sir, it's just come on, people,
Speaker 1: this is common sense. And really, if you're listening and
Speaker 1: you think that men should ought to be able to
Speaker 1: compete against women, you're not far from them in mental illness.
Speaker 1: You're not well. This isn't about opinion. You're not well.
Speaker 1: You're hurting these people. The sympathy belongs, It goes to
Speaker 1: the people. Sorry. The sympathy is revealed in people that
Speaker 1: are saying this is wrong. You need help. They're not enemies,
Speaker 1: they're people, but they're screwed up and they need help.
Speaker 1: And it's evidence more and more by the violence that's
Speaker 1: taking place in the trans community. They can't handle it
Speaker 1: because they're wiring is one way, and they're forcing themselves
Speaker 1: to present another forty seven past the other. I actually
Speaker 1: have one more number. We'll go from seconds to feet next.
Speaker 1: All right, we're gonna remind you today's a pretty big day.
Speaker 1: The Fed's going to announce its next interest rate decision.
Speaker 1: Our rate's gonna come down, they're gonna stay flat, are
Speaker 1: they gonna go up? And what will the President do
Speaker 1: in response? What will the President say in response? That
Speaker 1: will clearly be something we discussed tomorrow. What the Fed
Speaker 1: does just eyes on what's going on? These are things
Speaker 1: that affect your pocketbook. All right, Tomorrow, Steve Stewart joins
Speaker 1: us doctor Ed Moore. We'll have a road trip idea
Speaker 1: animal stories back again. I've already got one story that's
Speaker 1: making me laugh already. It's just yeah, we end with this.
Speaker 1: Even though it's an environmental group in this case, I'm
Speaker 1: okay with this accomplishment. They have likely broken a Guinness
Speaker 1: World record. Henry Pope is the lead grower and plant
Speaker 1: geneticist for the Mississippi Foundation for Renewable Energy. He has
Speaker 1: spent the last seven years cross pollinating specific pepper plants
Speaker 1: with the aim toward creating a variety of plant ideal
Speaker 1: for vertical gardening. I'm good with that. I'm good with
Speaker 1: that tall, not wide space. Vertical gardening is brilliant if
Speaker 1: you can pull it off this time consuming. But he's
Speaker 1: got a cayenne pepper plant that grew sixteen and a
Speaker 1: half feet.
Speaker 2: How do you pick it?
Speaker 1: I'm just asking how you gotta have some massive ladder
Speaker 1: and then when you start to wonder, does that then
Speaker 1: offset whatever gains you're getting environmental? I don't know. Too
Speaker 1: big for me, I but I'm impressed by a cayenne
Speaker 1: pepper plant that's sixteen and a half feet tall. Brought
Speaker 1: to you by Barno Heating and Air. It's the Morning
Speaker 1: Show one on WFLA. Because of my dear friend Jose's suggestion,
Speaker 1: we started the show today with John thirteen verses nineteen
Speaker 1: and twenty where Jesus laid out He dropped the hammer
Speaker 1: on the fellas saying check out the Trinity boys. Wha yeah,
Speaker 1: yeah he did two versus Trinity laid out right there.
Speaker 1: Cool stuff. Good job, sir, well done. Big stories in
Speaker 1: the press box today. Well, let me back up conversation
Speaker 1: with Hans von Spakowski. I told you I was going
Speaker 1: to get somebody on the show that could explain this
Speaker 1: fourteenth Amendment birthright citizenship thing, because even though it's not
Speaker 1: an overly complicated issue, I think it's confusing to many
Speaker 1: because you don't know who to believe. Well, we brought
Speaker 1: you the facts on what the fourteenth Amendment says, what
Speaker 1: it doesn't say, the context of when and why it
Speaker 1: was written, and it's very clear, unambiguous meaning. We talked
Speaker 1: about the number of children with gender dysphoria. It has
Speaker 1: jumped fifty fold in the UK. Can you only imagine
Speaker 1: what that's what's happened here if it's fiftyfold there with
Speaker 1: the US, and how many kids have phones one hundredfold
Speaker 1: California dropping charges against pro life journalists, ABC, NBCCBS forty
Speaker 1: six minutes on Trump pardons, three minutes on Biden pardoning
Speaker 1: his family. We'll be back tomorrow. Friends, have a great day.
