00:00:02 Kevin
Hey gang, Kevin here, Life22, and I have my hiatus.
00:00:06 Kevin
First thought of the day pops in my head.
00:00:09 Kevin
Birthright citizenship went down, what, last week, week before.
00:00:13 Kevin
Very terrible decision.
00:00:14 Kevin
Very terrible decision.
00:00:15 Kevin
I know you haven't caught my take on it.
00:00:16 Kevin
I'm sure you've caught takes from both sides of the aisle on it.
00:00:19 Kevin
This is my take.
00:00:20 Kevin
So, very terrible decision.
00:00:24 Kevin
Justice Roberts did a...
00:00:27 Kevin
Is it Justice Roberts?
00:00:28 Kevin
Anyways.
00:00:29 Kevin
Terrible job just pandering to one side of the aisle that said, We're gonna pack the court if you don't do what we'd like, and you're trying to keep the court in the middle.
00:00:37 Kevin
No, bad decision.
00:00:38 Kevin
Five to four decision, terrible decision.
00:00:40 Kevin
You need to, it's gonna get, it's most likely in the future, hopefully, fingers crossed, it gets overturned.
00:00:46 Kevin
It gets overturned just like Dred Scott.
00:00:47 Kevin
Terrible decision, overturned it, right?
00:00:50 Kevin
Roe versus Wade, terrible decision, overturned it.
00:00:53 Kevin
So this one as well.
00:00:55 Kevin
Because here's the issue.
00:00:56 Kevin
You're telling me that when all of a sudden you're a citizen of a country is supposed to give their undying devotion and like you should be willing to die for this country.
00:01:09 Kevin
I don't know where you fall in the draft, but it doesn't matter because what happens is you're supposed to be here defending this country.
00:01:16 Kevin
Otherwise, you're a treasonous traitor, right?
00:01:19 Kevin
That's it.
00:01:21 Kevin
And so it falls in this gray area, right?
00:01:23 Kevin
I'm a big free speech guy.
00:01:24 Kevin
You have the right to have your opinion.
00:01:25 Kevin
You have the right to have your free speech.
00:01:27 Kevin
At the same time, at what point does your disdain for the country become treasonous?
00:01:34 Kevin
See what I mean?
00:01:34 Kevin
That's where there's a gray area here and
00:01:39 Kevin
Mom comes over the border, gives birth, you're a U.S.
00:01:42 Kevin
citizen because you were born here.
00:01:43 Kevin
Well, guess what?
00:01:44 Kevin
Now you have to be willing to die here.
00:01:45 Kevin
You have to like, your parents are not U.S.
00:01:47 Kevin
citizens, so they have to die for Ecuador, Mexico, some, wherever.
00:01:54 Kevin
Wherever they, Canada, wherever they came over from, China, maybe they got on a plane, they came here, right?
00:01:59 Kevin
You don't, but they're supposed to be willing to die for their home country.
00:02:05 Kevin
Your home country is now America, and you have to be at civil war with your parents?
00:02:09 Kevin
Like, no, that's not gonna happen.
00:02:10 Kevin
Most likely, you're going back to China, they're gonna raise you to hate America, but you're a U.S.
00:02:15 Kevin
citizen.
00:02:16 Kevin
Well, where's the logic in that?
00:02:17 Kevin
That's treasonous behavior.
00:02:20 Kevin
You're supposed to be willing to die for the country that you're a citizenship, give your undying devotion and loyalty towards.
00:02:28 Kevin
So, it's a very gray area, so I don't know why, you know, and then it gets into the other part of it, right?
00:02:35 Kevin
If you come here from Mexico and you give birth to a baby, that baby's also a Mexican citizen.
00:02:38 Kevin
So we get into a very weird wishy-washy about dual citizenship, which I'm not a fan of.
00:02:42 Kevin
I'm not a fan of people.
00:02:44 Kevin
I complete...
00:02:46 Kevin
It's a dogma.
00:02:46 Kevin
You can't give your utmost loyalty to one country over all else, but also two.
00:02:52 Kevin
Like that's...
00:02:53 Kevin
It doesn't make sense.
00:02:54 Kevin
So we'll dive more into this.
