8 1. And who's the only zero who disagrees? Kentaji Brown Jackson, who, by the way, doesn't even know what a woman is. She does. She does. She has said in her confirmation hearing she doesn't know what a woman is. So how can she object to conversion therapy, people trying to convert from men to women, and mental health professionals trying to discuss these gender issues if she doesn't even know what a woman is? Has anyone asked her this question? Guys? Anyone? She doesn't know what a woman is. There's nothing to convert to. She doesn't know. 81 put up that tweet on this SCOTUS wire. This was another huge win. The doom and gloom class is just. I mean, every single day, the war is lost, the economy's collapsing. We just had retail sales, by the way, come back pretty great numbers. Everything is doom and gloom all the time. Here's the good news. I like to break up the show a little bit. I think that turning point is coming. I do. I really do. I think the cultural. Forget about the politics for a minute. And the Giuliani, Maryland argument I made. I think the cultural turning point on a lot of this identity politics. D, E I B S. You see this detachment from faith, this idea the left is jammed down our throat, that you should have faith in government institutions. Forget your church and your community. I think that's changing. Okay. Bring some receipts. Okay, I will. Washington examiner piece, folks. A lot of this, a significant number of our younger generation. Kids are tired of the emptiness of social media and the bullshit. Listen, I'm not trying to be freaking Plato here or wax poetic. It's empty. Selena. Zito. Great article in the Washington Examiner. Faith among young people surges, providing a missing Anchorage. Folks, I'm not your preacher, but can you imagine how empty your life is if you believe this rock we call Earth is it? And your life is social media and Instagram reels all day? How many likes you got? Who you ratioed with your bot army? Can you imagine how devoid of a soul you have to be that that's your entire life? How about time with your kids? Time in church? We were in church this weekend. It was great. We had a blast for you. Heard I left early. Yeah, I had to. Yeah. This is now. Yes, I saw Justin. No, I just want to know. Justin walked in late. You got to call me out. You walked in late. Don't say you didn't. He walked in late. I'm just saying, folks, he's five minutes late. I saw him right there. He. And by the way, Justin's like seven feet tall, everybody. Yeah. Yes. Andrew's like. Did he make a scene? Here's the thing about Justin, too, because he's. What are you, six? Four? He's really tall. Six. Three. Well, he's tall. Like, really tall. He doesn't even wait for people to stand up. They're all sitting down and he walks in late. So, like, all right, that's fake news. That's fake news. Even Father Marty noticed. I saw him. I saw him. Look at you. You got called out. It happened. All right, put up that tweet with the sadness. Let's get back to this. I want to make the point here, too, that this big government model will always fail. Create a contrast. Dump the filibuster. Let the American people see the contrast between big government liberal Bernie Sanders bullshit and small, limited government Tea Party constitutional conservative. And I promise you they'll make the right choice. DeSantis put this tweet up about bureaucracies run amok. I've tried to make this point over and over again, and in this tweet thread, you'll see it from Governor DeSantis down here in Florida. Do any of you find it odd at all? To the liberals in the audience listening, do any of you find it odd at all that the two spaces liberals constantly complain about, costs getting out of control, are both spaces largely controlled by the US Government? Does that. Does that bother you at all? Health care and education. The government has a massive footprint, correct? They don't have a massive footprint in TV monitors like we have up here. Maybe some regulation, but it's not a huge footprint. Health care, between Medicare, Medicaid, public schools, state school funding, the government has an enormous footprint. So why is it, if you look at this chart, that those are the two areas that costs are out of control? It's precisely because the government's the third party payer. They're not the student, they're not the school. The government winds up paying. So the student doesn't care about the price, and the school doesn't care about charging you more either, because they know you're not paying. Put up that chart. When I was running for office in Maryland, I'll never forget, I met with this guy, I forget his name. It was a public meeting, but it was in Prince George's county, which is a. It's a really very significant, wealthy black county in Maryland. And I went down there and I was really interested in knocking on doors to see how black voters in Maryland felt about Republican candidates, see if we had a shot. We obviously didn't perform traditionally well there in Maryland, But I meet with this guy and he pointed out what's in this chart is absolutely true. He said, dan, the reason liberals will never give up funding public schools is not because it has anything to do with education. He said to me, I'll never forget it. He said, dan, it's a jobs program. Public schools are a jobs program. Look at this. The growth in bureaucracy and administrative staff far exceeding money dedicated to students and education. It's a jobs program. So is the health care space for the government. I'm glad the Governor DeSantis pointed this out. This is a huge scam. The liberal argument that government's the most efficient way to do business falls apart on its face when you point out that the biggest business they're in health care and education. You freakin liberals are complaining all the time about it. How costs are out of control as you finance an explosion in a government jobs program disguised as education and health care. It's a scam and you know it. It's always been a scam. Ask your liberal friends that if government is so good at controlling costs and quality, how come where the government has the biggest footprint, health care and education. You're constantly bitching about cost and quality. I'm just asking questions. That's what we're doing now. We're told to ask questions, right, guys? We're just asking questions, correct? All right, I got to get this. I got Ed Gal Ryan coming up in just a little bit. Kentucky District 4 candidate in the Republican primary. The birthright citizenship case is being heard before the Supreme Court right now. Ladies and gentlemen, this is an enormous case. The goal of this show from the beginning has always been to give you digestible nuggets. You all work for a living. You don't have time to be reading 30 page white papers and legal briefs. You're busy taking care of your kids and building this country. And thank you for doing it. The purpose of this show is to sum up issues quickly. So you know the takeaway, the birthright citizenship debate. And it is a debate. Don't listen to the liberals who tell you this was settled in the courts. It was not. That is bullshit. If it was settled in the courts, why is it in the Supreme Court right now? We have a very serious problem with this anchor baby problem. You have people entering the country illegally, not here legally illegally having children who get US Citizenship. It is not Only an issue for a magnet. That creates an open border problem because it draws people here because then they're entitled to the full portfolio of citizenship benefits. It is also a national security issue as well. The second part, because foreign enemies of the United States know this, they can fly people in, have a child here, and all of a sudden people who are not our friends have a citizen in their family. This is common sense. Liberals want to tell you this has already been litigated. You're born here, you're automatically a citizen. And it's a. Well, that is the case now. But this has not fully been litigated. Wall Street Journal has a great piece about this. There is one line that this all comes down to. This is Randy Barnett Trump is right on birthright citizenship. They note that the clause grants citizenship to persons who meet two birth in the U.S. and being subject to the jurisdiction of the U.S. the dispute is over the meaning of the latter term. Talking about the 14th Amendment. Subject to the jurisdiction thereof, folks, has never been fully litigated. This is not an overly wonky topic. There are two potential meanings to this in the legal space. Do they mean people born here who are subject to the political jurisdiction of the United States, or is it simply a matter of territorial jurisdiction? Very simply stated, if you are an illegal invader from another country here illegally and have children, it's a all that matters is territorial jurisdiction. In other words, you're born in US Soil, no questions asked. That's the leftist argument. Territorial jurisdiction, you understand? Trump's argument is that's bullshit. That's not what it means. It meant subject to the political jurisdiction thereof. And those people are not subject to the political jurisdiction of the United States. They are citizens of another country. Donald Trump is right on this issue. And folks, I don't know what's going to happen in the Supreme Court in the case. I'm not the Stygian witches. Give me the eye. I have no idea what's going to happen. Supreme Court is hit or miss. Amy Coni Barrett has been totally unreliable on these things, but there is zero doubt that this has not fully been litigated. A lot of these cases they cite pre existed a lot of immigration laws that are even in question. How could they be talking about a law that didn't even exist yet? Trump's had another big victory yesterday, too. We'll see what happens with this case. Again, I don't know. This is a toss up in the Supreme Court. However, there was another big victory yesterday. Did you see the Oval Office briefing With our commerce secretary Howard Lutnick. Donald Trump put out an EO using existing law to tighten up vote by mail, which we know is a fraud problem. We put that New York Times article up from 2012 probably 100 times. Error and fraud at issue as absentee voting rises. The New York Times wrote about the problem of fraud and rejection rates in mail in voting in 2012. For the Liberals having a hard time with Math, that's over 10 years ago. The New York Times wrote this piece, double the rejection rate. Mail in voting has a problem. Donald Trump using existing law put out an EO yesterday. Howard Lutnick describes it how they're going to tighten up the postal service system to make sure that people request these mail in ballots, actually get the mail in ballots and not 20 other different people having nothing to do with the person who actually registered. Check this out. States, right? Run these elections. They will if they want to use the U. S Mail, the U. S Postal service, they're going to get a code, a barcode from the U S. Postal service and they're going to put that on the envelope and we will have one envelope per vote. None of this time where we have no idea. Media, there's no observers to mail, there's no envelopes, there's no certainty that's all going to go away. And what the president is doing today is he's going to make sure that mail in ballots are safe, secure and accurate and will have a clear distinction. If you voted by mail, you will have it on the envelope. Obviously not on the ballot, but on the envelope. So we will know a million mail in ballots, there'll be a million envelopes, envelopes, and you'll be able to know exactly, correctly that citizens voted now proving to you what frauds Democrats are. The lawsuits are already piling up, of course, because the Democrats don't want strict custody in the mail system of votes. They want to ship out mail in ballots to everyone in the state of California whether you requested it or not. They want a ballot harvester to go get it and return it. Whether they fill it out or the person fills it out, the Democrats don't care as long as the box says Democrat. This sounds like a pretty common sense thing. And the Democrats are all over x crashing out again over this. Everything president Trump does is this immediate like word vomit that comes out on the left. And I get to Ed Gall Ryan running for Kentucky for coming up in just a few minutes but I always like to leave you with some good news. Hold on, Brandon Gill, We Got to play this. I just saw this yesterday. So I know this is probably a little bit old from a few weeks ago, but speaking of candidates, Brandon Gill is running for reelection. He's a congressman. He's fantastic. He's been on the show. They had the NPR liberal, NPR CEO up on Capitol Hill. And folks, when you're up on Capitol Hill, like, you just, you better be prepared. Okay, I've been up there a couple times. You better be prepared. This lady is totally unprepared when she's asked basic questions. This is npr, taxpayer funded NPR about even basic things. I play this because this guy has the just perfect temperament for a Republican member of Congress when questioning these liberal lunatics and all their nonsense. Check this out.
