All right. I don't know if you saw Jonathan Turley in the Hill, but he is saying we need a 28th amendment. Not going to happen. We're gonna need a 28th amendment to clear up the 14th amendment because this is not what it was meant to do and everybody knows that. And it's so disingenuous. I mean, there is a difference between what the law says and what the law was built to do. And when you lose the distinction, you flatten history into slogans. You don't just misunderstand the law. You begin to dismantle the country piece by piece. Okay, that law was there to protect something. What? I don't know. Last time you looked up Dred Scott. But you need to look up Dred Scott. Refresh your memory. Because it was just one of the most shocking, horrific decisions the Supreme Court. Supreme Court ever, ever made. It declared that an entire class of human beings, even if they were free, could never be citizens of the United States. Never. And it was. That class of people were former slaves. Even if you were free, you could not be a citizen. And that ruling didn't just bind the slaves. It poisoned everything. It told generations of Americans that citizenship was not a matter of principle, it was a matter of permission. And it dragged the entire country into complicity, especially when it was paired with the Fugitive Slave act. That happened, what, 10 years before the Civil War, that the Fugitive Slave act forced citizens in free states to participate in the machinery of slavery or go to prison themselves. And that was the crisis. Okay? That was the fire. And so we fight the Civil War. And then people in the South, Democrats are like, no, you can't vote unless you're a citizen. Oh, geez, do we really, really, we have to do this now, too? And so they came up with a 14th amendment. That was the answer. And it wasn't an open invitation to the world. It was a moral correction to a very specific and horrifying wrong. When Congress drafted the 14th Amendment to the United States, they answered a single urgent. Can a nation that once enslaved people now deny them of citizenship forever? And the answer, thank God, was no, of course not. And that's why the language matters. The language subject to the jurisdiction thereof. That phrase is not accidental. It was debated. It was argued. It was clarified on the floor of Congress. How are our Supreme Court justices gonna. What pretzel do they have to twist themselves in this? The authors made it really clear. They were talking about people who owed full political allegiance to the United States, not people who were temporary visitors, not some foreign national passing through, not somebody who was under the power of a sovereign power, not. Not enemies. They were talking about freed slaves and people who had no other country, no other protection, no other place to go. So now, because of progressives, we have taken a surgical correction to one of the greatest injustices in human history. And we've turned it into a universal rule that almost no other nation on earth follows. Most countries anchor all of their citizenship in blood, with very, very few exceptions. Canada is one of them. You want to be Canada, A couple of other nations in South America do because we had this. And so they interpreted it that way, but they stopped it. Most of these nations stopped that half a century ago because they saw what it was doing or could do to their countries. Why? Because citizenship is not just a benefit, it is a bond. It's a shared future. It's an idea, it's an agreement that says we're taking this idea and building something together and we're all responsible for its survival. Now imagine just for a minute, the next generation, 20 years. A child born today will vote in 20 years. And we are living in times where our adversaries, the people who are currently trying to wipe us out, think in those kinds of timelines. We don't think past, you know, the next car in front of us at the drive through window. We don't plan, you know, we plan maybe in the next political cycle, they plan in decades. And you don't have to assume you know malice to see the risk. You only have to acknowledge the reality that policies can be used and shaped and exploited by people who don't share your values or your long term interests. You can have people coming from countries that despise the United States of America, have them birthed here on a birth tourism, which is not a conspiracy by the way, it's a business model. You can have them come here on tourism to give birth here and then go back, raise their child in China and then send them here in 20 years so they can vote. They don't understand America. They, if anything, they despise America. And already a million Chinese children have been born through the birth tourism loophole. A million. And they're being raised by their communist parents in China. But they're American citizens who will be sent here to vote. What do you think is going to happen in 20 years? And all of this exists because of our current interpretation of the 14th Amendment. That's what makes that possible. So what is your citizenship worth if it can be obtained without allegiance? Slaves wanted, former slaves wanted to stay here. They wanted to be part of America. If it can be granted without any connection at all, if it can be claimed without commitment, then can I ask you what exactly are we passing on to our children? Because a nation is not just lines on a map, it's not a resort. And by the way, remember the people who are pushing for all of this, they don't even believe in borders or lines on a map. There is something unique in this country. If you talk to people over in Europe, the people who are awake on what they're facing, they know it, and they're begging us to wake up, because they don't have the rights and the freedoms that we have. We have to pass on those rights, but we have to pass on trust and memory and a shared understanding of who we are and what we're trying to preserve. And most Americans don't even know that. Now, you're going to make that better or worse with, you know, birthright tourism. I don't think our country has ever been this fragile, with an exception of maybe the Civil War. But I think it's getting close. You can feel it. We argue about everything. Elections, institutions, the truth itself. And then into that fracture, we pour one of the most consequential questions any country can face. Who are we and who becomes one of us? How do you join us? There's a ton of people that are trying to sow division, trying to make this about, you know, us rejecting people or fear of the outsider. It has nothing to do with that. America has always been a nation of immigrants. Now, with that said, clearly, we never meant that, to be a nation without definition. You know, the Statue of Liberty has a plaque at its base. Emma Lazarus wrote the poem bring me your tire, your poor, your huddled masses. But she says, I stand here beside the golden door. There is a difference between a door and no walls at all. A door implies you don't rush it. You go through it. You've got to go through the door. A door invites, walls protect. You must have both. And what we're wrestling with right now is it's so damn evil because we have confused openness with the absence of structure. And it's been intentional. They have engineered us to be this way, to think this way I look, the people who are trying to transform us or destroy us are playing us. They're playing on our emotions, and they're playing on our strengths. We sit here and we do everything we can to prove that we're good. Stop trying to prove you're good. Stop trying to prove you're not a racist. You're not a racist. I mean, unless you are. But generally speaking, Americans are not racist. Generally speaking. Have we made mistakes as a nation? Yes. But generally speaking, all Americans. This is why I have a hard time condemning everybody who is a Democrat. I can't do it because I Know people who are Democrat. I think we misunderstand each other. I think they're misguided. I think many of them have gone down a road and they don't even know how they got there. But they. They think they're doing the right thing. But everybody's trying to prove that they're on the right team. Stop it. Because as we're doing that, we've stopped asking, what does my team even stand for? What is wise? If we can't sustain the country, if we can't sustain our own laws, our own culture, our own unity, we don't really have a nation. And that's exactly the point. What are you protecting? First of all, we're never going to get a 28th amendment. It's never going to happen. Progressives have just torpedoed the amendment process. When Woodrow Wilson came in, he was like, stop with the amendment stuff. It's too hard. We'll just do it through a giant state, and then we'll do it by. By changing constitutional law into case law. That was never the way we behaved. What is constitutional? Not what. Can you imagine? We're going back and saying, well, Dred Scott said this, so it should always be that way. Because that was decided. No, it was wrong. Go back to the original source. Compare it. The 14th Amendment. Compare it. What was it for? The 14th Amendment was a promise. It was a promise that we would never again deny citizens to those people who belong here, who were bound to this country under its full jurisdiction with no other sovereign claim. Doesn't it bother anybody that Ilhan Omar keeps talking as a Somali citizen, that she got elected so she could further the agenda and viewpoints of the Somali nation. That's not your job. That's not the. Your job is to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. You're supposed to get rid of all of those other things. 14th Amendment was. Was, was built or written to make sure that those people who wanted to be a part of this and had no other, no other place to go, this was the nation they chose. This 14th amendment was not a declaration that citizenship is automatic or universal or detached from allegiance. It must be attached to allegiance. If we pretend that the 14th Amendment had nothing to do with any of that, we risk undoing not just the amendment, but the very idea that a nation capable of making such a promise in the first place can exist. I was talking to my son. He's back from college, and he said, dad, I'm not trying to make enemies. I'm really trying to make friends. But it's not really popular in college. And I said, oh, geez, what are you doing? And he said, all I'm trying to do is ask people to think. Think. I'm not trying to say this is right, this is wrong. I'm just trying to. And I'm so proud of my son. I was like, good or bad, dude, you're not going to be very popular because the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Right now, trying to get people just to think and not be on a team. This isn't a partisan question. This is a moral question. It's a stewardship question. We are stewards of this freedom that was bought and paid for with treasure and blood over the last 250 years. Are we what we are doing, Are we preserving it? Are we making it stronger? Or are we weakening it and dissolving it? Here's the real key. America likes saving people. We have this. We have this savior thing going on. I think we like saving people. We like freeing people. We like taking people who are. Bring us your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free. We like that. But if we're to be that place where those people can come and be their best self, if we are to be a light, if we are to help others in the future, we must first remain a country. And to remain a country, we must not allow people to have free citizenship who are living under the jurisdiction of some other power. They must have loyalty to our system and our country. And it's up to us to decide. Can be watching this one for a while. All right, let me tell you about our sponsor. It's Mercury One. Sometimes right thing to do isn't that complicated. It's just hard seeing the need and deciding you're. You're not going to walk past it. Even if you can't solve everything, if all you can do is just a little help in one small way, it's deciding that you're not going to leave that right thing to do for somebody else to do. Because that's how real change happens. Not in big sweeping moments, but in individual decisions made by people who care enough to act. Not to act is to act. This is what Mercury One is all about.

I'm going to give you all the details on this, but you will have all of the tools you need and including a edited version beginning tomorrow. All the details coming up. It's easy to look at what's happening in the world right now. The war in Iran, the disruption of the shipping routes, the spike in oil prices and think that's over there. It doesn't really affect me, but it does. That conflict is putting real strain on global supply chains, including the ones that keep medications moving. When those supply chains get disrupted, shortages and delays follow and usually much faster than anybody expects. The medications you depend on, antibiotics, blood pressure meds, diabetes treatments, they are not optional and they're not something that you just have to hope they're available when you need them. That's why Jace Medical exists. They make it possible to get those essential medications delivered to your door ahead of time so you have them when you need them. Not after a shortage, not after a delay, but before any of that happens. Because even if you don't follow every headline, you should be prepared for what could come next.

Tomorrow, 8:00pm is the President's latest deadline and he wrote an unhinged tweet. I think it was very strategic. It was not meant for you. It was Meant for the IRGC to think this guy might be crazy. We're dealing with a crazy man and he just might mean it. How it works out, I don't know. But you certainly a, I think a very strategic move yesterday from the president. Others see it as well, we've got to vote the 25th Amendment because he's crazy. You know, Biden, he was in total control. But you know, a tweet from Donald Trump, he's crazy. And then there are all kinds of other rumors that we now know online are coming from foreign nations that are meant to destroy us. And we're just consuming it like nothing has changed. I want to talk about that here in 60 seconds. First, if you're trying to sell a house, you know, it's not easy. You know, all you have to do is declutter, depersonalize, patch the drywall, fix the roof, repair the foundation, get rid of that mysterious dog smell, replace the carpet, the kitchen, touch up the paint, stage a living room, find a buyer, negotiate a contract to close all under 30 days. I mean, you can do that in your sleep, right? Yeah. Yeah. Well, I'd have a. You know, I'm struggling. You know, when I had my kids living with me, I struggled just trying to keep the kids from licking the light sockets. I don't have time to do everything else, so I know what it's like. You need somebody who, this is all they do. And we can connect you. This is my company, Real Estate Agents I trust dot com.

All right, let me just go through some of the, the lies that I'm seeing online right now and they are very well crafted. One, we're sending 100,000 troops into Iran. We're not sending a hundred thousand troops into Iran. That's not happening. But if you look at that, if you look on social media, you will find that Trump was at Walter Reed this weekend something seriously, seriously wrong. He might be catching what Benjamin Netanyahu has, which is death. The latest coming out today is Trump is crazy and he's going to nuke Iran tomorrow. Okay, how about this one? Artemis is not in space. Really? Of course we have the super classics of Israel is responsible for Charlie Kirk's death. But now the latest is that Israel employed, and I'm not making this up, somebody else did. Employing the Mormon mafia to do it. Now, being a member of the Church of Jesus Christ Latter Day Saints, I've not heard of the Mormon mafia. I mean, unless it's there to, you know, you know, change people's minds through the force of, you know, eating jello with carrots in it or, you know, having funeral potatoes. I don't know how that is, but the Mormon mafia apparently is the one that killed Charlie Kirk. That's the latest. They seem to be everywhere online. You look at just. Just go through X just as a test, and just look at the comments of even the most inane stories. It is all division and hatred. And, I mean, like, I've never seen it before, and we are just slowly sliding into it as if nothing has changed. Now, most of this stuff, it's coming out in studies that the most viral, the most divisive, especially on things like war and our politics, all originating from foreign sources and bots, but we just shrug that off, like, oh, well. And yet we argue about what's real and what's not. Online, I saw a story this weekend, and I showed it to my wife, and I'm like, this can't be true, right? It said that Prince William and Princess Catherine, or whatever her name is. Kate. Yeah, whatever. That they're separating and they're living separate lives. They're headed for divorce. They've already, you know, you know, split up all of the, you know, castles or whatever. And my first reaction was not outrage. It wasn't even skepticism, because I just. I just didn't think who would make that up? You know what I mean? My first reaction was sadness. I'm like, oh, you've got to be kidding me. Almost an automatic acceptance that something stable has just broken. And then I find out it's not true. I mean, because I start looking into it. I think I contacted Ricky and I'm like, ricky, is this true at all? Total fabrication. Another rumor, another ghost story dressed up as news. But it was really well done. Really well done. So my question was over the weekend that I kept kicking around all weekend was, who would do that? Who makes that up? Why would you make that up? Years ago, I said that there is a phase civilizations enter before real collapse, before war, before economic failure. And I called it the trust implosion, or trust. So I want the anatomy of that story. What? What was that? Because it's such a ridiculous, stupid story. Why would you do that? Well, first it targets a symbol of continuity, stability, tradition, even that is collapsing. Now, you could. I mean, you could make a real case that it's collapsing because, oh, I don't know, the defender of the faith, King Charles is a lunatic and won't even. It didn't even issue an Easter message and instead is busy with Islam. I mean, he's the defender of the faith. You can make that case. And that's real. No, no, no. This one was emotionally loaded and it was believable the way it was done. Spreads fast, verifies very slowly. And most importantly, it leaves something behind. Even after it's disproven. Doubt. It leaves doubt. Now, let me turn to the war with Iran. This weekend, rising tensions again centered around the Strait of Hormuz. A narrow strip of water quietly determines the price of your gasoline, your groceries, our future, all of that. But here's the thing. Americans aren't just debating what's happening. We're now debating whether or not we can trust what we're being told is happening. And it's not just, you know, the government's doing propaganda. No, no, you don't even know where this is coming from. One side says this, we have to go in. One side says we were tricked to go in. Another side says the whole thing was a lie. And other side says, you know, America is bad. And it's all of these. They're. It's crazy. And I don't know about you, but the more I read, the fewer and fewer of them that I read. I believe that any of the people that are writing this are. Are acting in good faith. People are not making mistakes. This is intentional. Look at Europe. Immigration tensions, protests, government saying one thing, publicly doing another, privately, public knows it, okay? Not because they trust official statements, but because they see contradictions that no longer line up. So trust erodes. Look at your own life. Inflation is cooling. Is it? My grocery bill is not cooling. Insurance isn't cooling. Cost of a house isn't cooling. Everything I see in my life tells a different story. So you're not just questioning the numbers. You start to question who's giving you the numbers and why they're doing this. And then comes the accelerant. The environment that we live in AI generated content, conflicting narratives, entirely different versions of the same reality, each presented with absolute certainty and done in such a way that, you know, if you're my age, you just don't think you could fake because it's just too Good. It's too elaborate. I told Stu once back in the 1990s, I said, there's going to come a time before 2030 where you will not be able to believe your eyes or ears. And when that happens, all bets are off. We're there, gang. You know, there was a time when we argued interpretation, but now we're not even getting to interpretation. We're getting to, is that story even real? So who's doing it? Who benefits? This one? I can usually say, well, that would benefit this group or this group. But who creates a lie about the royal family? Because it seems ridiculous. Now, maybe not in England, but over here it seems pretty ridiculous. I find the. The answer to this a little uncomfortable because it's not just one group. There are state actors, countries like Russia and China and God knows who else. Iran. They understand that you don't have to defeat a military of a nation if you can fracture the country psychologically. Then there are ideological movements that believe chaos is necessary. That's the 12ers in Iran. That's the Marxists and the Communists. That a system has to be destabilized before it can be replaced. Then there are algorithms that reward outrage over truth because outrage spreads. Truth takes time. It's a little boring sometimes. And then there are just individuals, some of them cynical, some of them broken, some of them honestly, this is the most frightening. Just bored. They've decided watching things burn is its own reward. All of those agents of chaos. Who is the author of chaos? I ask you that because it is so important to realize that when you click on a story and send it and you don't know if it's true, you are an unknowing agent of chaos. Because it's not just the chaos that is being created. It is the chaos that has become its own ecosystem. And the real damage is not the lie itself. It's what it does to each of us. You read the story, you believe it, you feel it, then you correct it. And then comes the final step. What else isn't true? That's the purpose of all of this. What else isn't true? I can't believe anything. When I saw that, I'm like, I can't believe any. Who would do this? Who would do this about something so stupid? Why would you lie about that? And they're everywhere. They're everywhere about stupid stuff. But those agents of chaos know that when enough people reach that point, when suspicion becomes the default setting, that's when trust implodes. And then what happens? Well, not necessarily immediately. Not always dramatically, but always consistently. Consistency, consistently. The society lose, loses. It loses trust in institutions, in its information, and ultimately with one another. You can't believe one another. And what adds to that, we already don't trust one another. We already don't trust our own family members. Some of us, we already are hostile to the people that we're around all the day. We don't trust people who vote differently than us. So they're part of the problem. We're all, we all have somebody in our life that we feel that way about. So then our life, our own connections, sometimes to our own family is unstable. There's no cohesion on anything. And in that environment, every new event like the ones we saw this weekend doesn't resolve the tension. It adds pressure. Crap. This is not abstract anymore. This is personal. So what do you do? Let me pause for 60 seconds and I'll tell you. First, our sponsor. You can't put a price on the safety of your home because you know that's home base for your family. The prices, you know, that's the place everybody's supposed to feel the most safe. You know, no matter what's going on outside. That's your castle. Now if you think about that, it changes how the way you need to look at security, it's not an extra, it's. It's not something you get around to. It's foundational. The good news is you don't have to break the bank to get that kind of protection. Simplisafe gives you a complete home security system with sensors and cameras and 247 professional monitoring, all without locking you into a long term contractor, hitting you with the kind of pricing that makes you think twice.

What do you do? Well, first thing you do is you slow down. You slow down. If. If something hits you emotionally really fast. It was designed to. Truth can withstand scrutiny, but manipulation depends on speed. So slow down. Second, ask a better question. Not just is this true, but who benefits if I believe this? Who benefits if I spend any time on this? Because you already know the answer. Agents of chaos. And you don't want to be Anywhere near chaos. Third, you have to rebuild the trust where you actually can and you can't. I can't rebuild your trust in any of the institutions. Okay? It's not going to happen. Nationally, at least not yet. So you think locally. Friends, family, community. Civilizations don't rebuild trust from the top down. They rebuild it from the inside out. That's also how you destroy it. You rot it from the inside out. Fourth thing you need to do is reduce your own fragility. Less debt, more stability, more awareness of where your essentials come from. Because when systems wobble, resilience becomes freedom. And this matters because with that, you start to demand something different from leadership. Clarity. You know, you, you. You watch what's actually happening. You match words with actions. You stop managing perception, and you start rebuilding the credibility. Because the American people can handle the hard truth. They can. What we cannot survive against is this constant contradiction. And beyond Washington, the states, community, churches, they all have a role. Local governments have to bring decisions closer to the people. Communities must rebuild civic life that isn't just political theater. And churches, especially the churches, must remember who and what they are. That is a place where truth is not negotiated. It's a place where people can disagree without becoming enemies, where moral clarity exists without hatred. And it must always be that way. But it starts with tell the truth. Because when trust collapses in a culture, people begin to look for anything solid. And if they don't find it there, they will find it somewhere else. And that is already happening. So that story about the royal family, it looks small, it seems small, but it's not. I mean, that's what, that's what bothered me, I think, so much about. I've seen all the big stories, but that one seems so, like, such a waste of time. It's a single thread, but if you start pulling on it, you realize, oh my gosh, look at how many threads are already loose. Trust collapse doesn't arrive with one headline. It. It arrives as a quiet belief. A quiet correction, a lingering question. If I can't believe this, what can I believe? What else is breaking that I can't see. It? Trust collapse. It doesn't come with a parade, and it's happening right now. It comes in quietly. It's. It's when you assume you're being misled, you expect institutions to fail. You stop believing that things can be fixed. If we have enough people that reach that point, you know how it ends. And it doesn't end necessarily in war, but conditions where war becomes possible. So I want to urge you to slow down, because this is not inevitable, but it is directional. We're going in that direction and the direction can only be changed the same way. It was lost not from the top down, but from the inside out. One person, you telling the truth, no matter how unpopular it makes you, and say it with love and respect. Don't try to win. Don't try to win. One family choosing stability, one house, one neighborhood rebuilding trust with the neighbors. It's much slower than collapse, but it is the only thing that history has ever shown that stops it. Start building that in your own family and building that in your own community. Honestly, it's why I, I have a house and I've spent my summers in a town of 400 people. Because while we don't all know each other, we don't all agree with each other, we all have the same basic principles and we're all looking out for one another and it doesn't matter if we agree or disagree. We're all a member of the community and we know what is generally true. Focus on those things. You know, tomorrow I'm going to talk to you about some things that the central bank in the European Union are saying that is really disturbing, really disturbing. And it, to me it shows. There is some other little game that they're playing here and we're going to need to know we can trust one another. Other we're on the same team. Even though we may not vote the same. We believe the United States needs to be preserved because the western way of life is good. All right, relief factor. Life doesn't slow down for you. The sun still comes up, the world just keeps moving and your grandkids still want to race you across the yard whether your body feels like keeping up or not. That's the frustrating part because it's not that you don't want to do those things. It's painful. Putting limits on what you can do. And after a while you just start adjusting. You start holding back, you sit, you know, sit out. Things that you really would like to do, you wouldn't have before, but it doesn't have to stay that way. Relief Factor is a daily drug free supplement that targets inflammation, which is often the root cause of pain. Over a million people have tried Relief Factor and two thirds of them have gone on to take more. Because when that pain starts to lift, you're not just feeling better, you're finally back in the game.
