Just when you thought the Biden administration Biden, Harris administration couldn't possibly screw up anymore, well, they hurricane Helene, everybody, and I I have to say right out of the gate, earlier in the week in an episode, I said hurricane Helen. Somebody pointed that out that I was a dumb dumb and couldn't read, and in that scenario, I agree. I was, and so I needed to make sure I corrected myself. It's hurricane Helene, and when you look at it, yep, it I mean, it looks like Helene and not Helen, so I screwed that up. But worse than me screwing up the name of the hurricane is the Biden Harris administration's, handling of the the devastation and the aftermath of this hurricane.
And it's crazy because it it is just been announced yesterday that FEMA, which for those of you that don't really understand how this all gets put together, FEMA, who, is under the Department of Homeland Security, k, so Mayorkas, that doofball. It's complete doofus, complete freaking libtard communist, really. This guy should have been bounced out of the department of homeland security a long time ago. Came out and said that FEMA is out of funds for disaster relief. Now let's think about that for a second.
Not only did it take the Biden administration, Joe, you know, old fable Joe, and Kamala, Carmela, whatever we're calling her. I don't care. Not only did it take them days to respond, to even act like they cared about American citizens, but for FEMA and the depart Department of Homeland Security to come out and say, hey. We're out of funds here. We don't we don't have money for disaster relief, is crazy.
It's like, how did how did you run out of money? I think their budget is like, I don't know, somewhere in the, you know, I think I saw 20, 3rd, some 1,000,000,000. I it's 1,000,000,000, and and I actually had it pulled up here. And I'll I'll try to bring it pulled up again, but it I was like, wow. What what is FEMA's budget?
And it it was a lot, and I I think I almost have it. It budget includes 30,000,000,000 in gross budget authority annually to utilize. Now, I think that's for, like, administrative, cost, etcetera. But if you go back and you look at I found this infograph on on FEMA's website, of course, that in 2023, by the numbers, they spent close to $3,000,000,000 in grants for, get this, climate resilient communities. K?
$3,000,000,000 and when you go in and look to see what are these, what what what is a climate resistance, community, and it's stuff like it's pet projects that they dole out in these grants to communities all around the country, and some of it is to prevent flooding. But if you go back, it this is this is the crazy part about all of it. So let me back up the tape because this is the part that's like you're you're going it's gonna bother you. I think it bothers me, but let me back up the tape. So not only did they screw up by acting like they couldn't be bothered with the aftermath of this hurricane.
It took them days to even show up, make a statement, then Harris, completely tone deaf, which we've talked about how tone deaf our politicians have become, shows up and says everybody will get $750 to help with their most immediate needs, which is great. Okay. Yep. $750 for immediate needs. Sure.
Sure. But most of these people, like, $750 wouldn't get them 2 nights in a hotel. I mean, think about that. These people's houses have been literally destroyed. They've lost loved ones.
They've lost family members. $750 ain't gonna bury their loved ones. Now it's not gonna give them the funeral they need. It's not gonna put them in a hotel for more than 2 nights. Maybe 3 nights if you could find a hotel for a 100 a night, you know, then 150.
Okay. So you get 6 nights, 5 nights in a hotel. I mean, their house is gone. It's it's destroyed. So I'm I'm not sure.
I mean, anything, right, helps. So I'm not I'm not gonna be like the extreme version of people who are pushing back on this 750, but I just think the timing of announcing that was tone deaf because Americans have spent the last 3 years watching the Biden administration and congress, and I'm not gonna put all this at the feet of the Biden Harris administration because congress had a big part in this too. They've watched the American people have watched Congress and the Biden Harris administration send money all over the world for the last three and a half years, all over the world. And now when Americans need the help, they're gonna get $750, right? It's tone deaf.
It's like, why have American citizens become second class citizens? It's not fair and it's not right and people should be upset about it. It's okay if you look at that scenario and go, wait a minute. We've spent all this money around the world, billions and billions and billions. We've sent over 200,000,000,000 in Ukraine.
We've sent billions to Israel, right, and many other places, but yet when we have people, American citizens who've been born here, lived here their whole life, generationally lived here, paid their taxes, gone to work, all the money that gets sent, you know, that's our money guys. Never forget, this money isn't just created out of thin I mean, sometimes it is. But the government doesn't own anything. We, the people do. So if they're taking our tax dollars to fund all their bullshit projects to include sending money overseas.
They create money to send more money overseas and stick us with the loans that are due. Like, we are the ones saying we I I owe you, whoever bought that bond or that treasury. Like, I owe you. That's us, the American people. So it's our money.
You know? The government doesn't make its own money. Like, it's not a business. It's it doesn't make a profit. It doesn't have a good.
It does have some services, but we pay for them collectively. So here are all these people down here in Appalachia that have been taxpayers, you know, paying their federal income taxes, paying for all this stuff to find out that, oh, because, you know, we've been giving over $1,400,000,000 out of the FEMA disaster relief fund to fund illegal migrants who have come into the country and needed, you know, room or food, shelter, all these other I even saw a report where we bought a lot of these or some of these illegal immigrants x boxes. It's like, what? We're buying them x boxes? And we can't help the citizens of the United States, the ones who actually belong here, born here, naturally born citizens, and there should be a distinguishment, like, in in that's kinda what I wanted to get into today.
So the, you know, the the Biden Harris administration really screws the pooch. They show up late, they they've been spending all this money around the world and then say, you guys are gonna get $750 and still to this day, I saw reports as of yesterday where FEMA, in some of these areas in Tennessee and North Carolina and North Georgia, they still have not seen a single person from FEMA. They're seeing, you know, a couple Samaritan's Purse, I think, is there. The Red Cross is there, and a ton of private citizens have drove in, flown in to help, and they're seeing that, but no FEMA. Not one single representative from FEMA.
As of yesterday, I I saw reports that still as of yesterday, some of these areas, some areas have seen representatives from from FEMA, but there are tons that have not, which I think is crazy. So you're too short, you you you showed up to the to the the gathering too late, you're offering too little, but yet you've promised all these other entities, including illegal immigrants, all these things that and you can't even show up and give your people what they need in a time of crisis. I mean, you know, you gotta begin to ask yourself the question, what is the point in even being an American citizen? Right? If if we're gonna open our borders, if we're gonna spend money from FEMA that, you know, is set aside for American citizens in times of disasters and give it to people who are not American citizens, You know, we're gonna send 1,000,000,000 of dollars to fight wars we don't wanna be involved in.
If you took a straw poll of Americans today, we don't wanna have anything to do with the war going on between Ukraine and Russia. We we don't care. I mean, we can see something on the world stage and say, yeah, that's not cool or that's not fair, but we don't have to fight everybody's war at the expense of the American people. Now we need to provide for a national defense and all of that, but not at the expense of the natural rights of the American people. And that's kinda what I wanna get into today.
That's what I wanna talk about because, you know, I I mentioned the book that's coming out and and I hope you guys will all go pick up a copy. But in the book, it's kinda the nudge. Right? It's the nudge to wake you up and say, hey, there's there's all these elements of the American dream that we are sold on, you know, every single day from the time we go off to kindergarten until we graduate college. And when we get out into the real world, we kinda see that a lot of these things just don't seem, you know, to match the narrative of the American dream that we've been sold.
And it it oftentimes feels like it doesn't work. The promises are, you know, not great promises, and we we struggle to wrap our mind around how, you know, why can't why is it so difficult to, you know, really save for retirement? Why is it so difficult to buy a house? Why is it so difficult to get ahead? Why all these things, and it's a lot of it is due to, like, why does a 401 k exist and an IRA exist, and why were we sold that that was the best way to create wealth and save for retirement?
All these things that we're taught, and, you know, it you end up scratching your head when you when you become 25, 30, whatever, 40 years old, going, why why does it seem like this dream is working for everybody else but me? Well, you're not alone and that's why I wrote the book. It's to open your eyes to the illusion that all these things were actually designed to benefit us. Now when the framers and the founding fathers of our nation got together, they did create a system and this is why a lot of people feel confused about everything and say, oh, it doesn't work and it's easy to manipulate your emotions to get you thinking that what our framers and founders put together is garbage is because it's been manipulated. What the the framers and founders put together a long time ago when they've spun this thing into motion is good.
And if left alone and done as it was designed, we would have prosperity for Americans at levels you and I have not seen in our lifetimes. For all Americans, if it were allowed to run the way it was designed. The problem is, and the reason that you think it doesn't work and that I think it doesn't work and that it just doesn't feel right, it doesn't feel like the American dream is actually a thing anymore, is because that system has been manipulated. It's been manipulated by entities, both governmental and corporate, in nature, that manipulated our system to benefit the few at the expense of the many. That is why over the last 100 years, you have seen wealth gaps be created and skyrocket.
I mean, the gap just keeps widening and widening and widening. That's why, you see things in the the bureaucracies of America and Congress that just don't make sense, and you're like, what? Why would you govern like this? For example, why would you send 100 of 1,000,000,000 of dollars to fight a war in a country that we don't care about? Yeah.
We hate war. We can all walk and chew gum at the same time. Most Americans will tell you, I hate war. I don't like it. I don't wanna see it.
I don't wanna see it in America. I don't wanna see it in other countries. I don't wanna see little countries get beat up by big countries, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. However, there is a point where enough is enough, and we have to say, no, we're not beginning to get involved. And that's where natural rights come in.
The our whole system, guys, was designed by natural rights. And what are natural rights? Our natural rights state, and and and this isn't, you know, our founding fathers weren't I mean, they were pretty brilliant minded individuals, but they weren't the first to come up with this natural rights idea. And the natural rights idea is simple, right? And and don't get confused what what I'm saying.
Like, don't don't take modern day terms and, you know, technicalities and let this screw up your brain. It's as simple as I'm gonna say it, okay? Natural Royites state that every man or every human, k, that is born is born free. From the moment they are born, they are free. Period.
Meaning, nobody can dominate them or govern over them because without that person's consent to do so. And that is the bedrock and the baseline of natural rights, and this is important to understand. And when we talk about open borders and and government policy and whether somebody's doing a good job, running our country or not doing a good job running our our country, you always have to go back to natural rights. Natural rights simply state that every human born, k, is free. Cannot be dominated or governed or, you know, other people cannot dominate you without your consent to do so.
And that is us here in America. And our founding fathers came together and said, okay. Our order number 1, natural law. Every man is born free and equal, and you'll see that in our preambles. And you'll see that in the preamble of almost every state constitution in the United States that every man is born free and has the right, the unalienable rights, unalienable rights given to us by the universe, by God, whomever you wanna believe in it it it for this example, it doesn't really matter.
We have rights that cannot be taken away from us. They are given to us by the universe. By the the laws of the universe, every human is born free and has the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Not the guarantee of happiness, but the ability to pursue happiness. And you'll see in a lot of preambles in the state constitutions, it'll say something along those lines and the right to own property and etcetera, etcetera.
Because if you believe in the natural rights, which if you you don't have to be religious. Okay? You don't have to be religious. You can say it's the universe. And I will say the reason people get get our government and how it should be run and why things matter screwed up is because they have no faith in anything.
But we as human beings, we will always put faith into something. So if you don't believe in natural rights, in the the laws of the universe, and whether you believe in a judo Christian god or a Jewish god or a Hindu god or a Buddhist god or a Muslim god, then you're gonna believe in something, and I think the people who get way off track in liberal ideologies are those people that have beliefs in nothing. They end up putting the government as their god, and that's where they get screwed up because if you put the government as your god, you stop believing in natural rights of humans. And in order to understand why our system exists and why our laws exist, you first must have to understand the natural rights of a human, which come from the the universe or God. Okay?
So hopefully, you're still with me up to this point. So everything begins with natural rights. We are all born free and cannot be dominated or governed by another human being because that would infringe on our inherent freedom that is given to us by the universe the day we are born without our consent. K? Alright.
So I think we've covered that thoroughly. I'm gonna take a little pause and put in and they don't sponsor me, you know, I just, love it, but I'm gonna put in a pinch of cougar here. So I hope you guys are with me. Natural rights. Alright.
I packed in a little coug. We're gonna keep trucking. Because this is important. It's important to understand why these things matter and it all starts with natural rights. Okay.
So once we have established that we all have natural rights, me, you, your neighbors, everybody you know, and every human from every other country. Okay? All have natural rights. Alright? And that is where the baseline starts for all other things.
Now our founding fathers said, okay, we have natural rights. We're all born free, we cannot be governed, without our consent and that in in fact is what led to the revolution because everybody in the colonies was saying, hey, we're we have natural rights. You can't just tell us what to do, Great Britain. They you just you can't do that. We're not going to.
We should be governed by ourselves. Taxation without representation, etcetera, but it all came back to they felt like their natural rights were being violated, and they were. So they went and fought a revolution. So when it came time to set up our constitution, they went back to the natural rights question and and our founding fathers basically said, hey, if if we have natural rights, then we have to base, you know, our social compact, not contract, compact, between some sort of entity that can protect these rights and the people who have these rights. And that is where they formed our constitution in the form of government we have, the representative form of a republic government that we have today.
And basically, once once you realize you have rights, right, and and and you get together, a group of people, and say, hey, we are going to create this this government, this process by which to protect the natural rights of the citizens, we have to in order for a citizen to be governed, they have to give that consent. And that's what happened back in 1776 and 17 seventies and 17 eighties when we were going through the constitutional conventions and all that, is it was the formation of a national compact where we, the people, were consenting to governance that we all agreed on. And that for us ended up being the form of government where we have today, which is a constitutional republic of the people, for the people, by the people. Right? So we elect you know, representatives.
They go. They pass laws. We have an executive branch that also gets elected, and we have a judicial who makes sure, you know, that the laws and the judicial system are being applied equally across the board. They get appointed, by the other 2 branches essentially together, and that's kind of a high overview of how that goes down. We won't get into that today, but I want you to understand that all of our laws, our constitution, all of our, amendments are all based on this idea of of natural laws, meaning we are all born free and we cannot be governed without our consent.
So everything that we have in the United States is based on this social compact that we all agree to be governed in this way. Okay? Meaning our form of government. Now, this is important because the founding fathers wanted to ensure let me just say it like this, the founding fathers were not concerned about funding Ukraine. They were not concerned about open borders.
In fact, because you have natural rights as a natural citizen, right, you have a natural right for those rights to not be infringed upon. Okay? Because if you're inherently free from the moment you're born then you are inherently free from anything. Like, you're inherently free from, you know, being able to, have people just walk across your border. Like, that is an infringement on your social compact that you created.
And and I hope I'm I'm drawing the parallels here in a good way. And and I'm gonna back up a little bit because this is so important to wrap your mind around. You'll see why things like open borders are an actual violation of our social compact and our natural rights. Because we have natural rights, the minute we consent that we all agree to this social compact which ended up for us being our, you know, republic that our constitutional republic that we have today. The minute we agreed to that, we were all together on the same team.
We consented to be governed under these common rules and laws. The other thing is that set us apart from the rest of humanity, right? And and in every country, it's the same way. You guys can run your stuff however you want. And that social compact is between them and their people.
Just like our social compact was between our constitutional republic and us. Not people from Mexico, not people from Canada or Great Britain or India or Pakistan or any No. No. No. No.
The social compact was between natural born American citizens, which is why that is how you get your natural citizenship. That's how you naturally come into the social compact of a constitutional republic because you're born here in this social compact that we put together back in the 1700. And it is not for the world. The social compact of a constitutional republic and democracy and all of that was not designed and the founding fathers would actually argue today that it was not designed to for a social compact for every country in the world. It was designed for this one.
So because it was designed for this one and this one was designed to protect our government was literally formed, guys, to protect our natural rights. And that's it speaks to that in the constitution. That's the whole reason our government exists, was to protect our natural rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That's the only reason our government exists. To provide for common defense, right, make sure that foreign adversaries that have their own social compacts in their own countries do not come in and trample on our our natural rights.
That's why it exists, to provide for common defense of domestic people, which is where our justice system comes in because my neighbor can also not trample on my natural rights. That is why we came up with laws and rules. And we all agreed to be governed by them. That's the social compact. We all agreed that we would be governed by them because we all agreed that we all have natural rights.
That's what was so great about the founding of our countries because it all stemmed from natural rights and in a in a social compact and agreement amongst all of us that our social rights are given to us by God or by the universe or whatever. Whoever is your God, your rights were given to you by them. Now I have one true god, but the that's not the point of the podcast is to tell you about my faith and religion. I'll share it from time to time, and I won't back away from it, but it's not it's not to say that's the what you have to think. But if you believe that and you believe in natural rights, then you understand that our compact, we all agreed that natural rights are the most important thing, the pursuit to life, liberty, right, and happiness and property and all these things.
These are natural rights. We have them from God. God gave them to us. The universe gave them to us. Nobody can take them away except God.
Right? So that's where all of our laws come from, and our social compact is, hey. We we need a system by which we can protect our natural rights from foreign adversaries, people who are not part of our social compact, and from each other, from other humans that are also part of the social compact because we cannot be dominated by anybody. Somebody can't come my neighbor cannot come over here and fringe on my natural rights of property. He can't just walk over here, jump on my tractor, and drive her to his house and say it's mine now.
We have laws, right, under our social compact that protects that from happening because that would be theft. Right? Under our social compact and our constitution and our laws, that's illegal. So he would go to jail and be punished for doing the illegal thing and we've all consented to this. K?
But what we did not consent to was that our social compact is between us and the whole world. So when I hear people talk about illegal immigration, for example, and and every policy and every issue I talk about in the book, We the Puppets, is it all starts with the this idea that our the American system was set up to protect our natural rights, and it's gone down a road of manipulation to benefit the few at the cost of us and our natural rights. So when we say it's things are being done, at the expense of the American people, what we're really saying, and this is important to understand, is that it's at the cost and the expense of our natural rights. Our natural right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That we're all created equal, and you cannot infringe on those rights.
And the government of the United States was literally set up to do nothing but protect those rights, and that's where our branches come from. So you'll see in the constitution that the preamble and the amendments are, you know, the first amendment protects, you know, because if we're free people, we can say what we wanna say. If we're free people, we can say what we want to say. The first amendment. Because we're free to speak however we want, and it's not speak you like, it's not the speech you guys like, I know look, I I find hate speech just as appalling as the rest of you do.
There I don't know a person that can sit and listen to somebody deliver line after line of hate speech, whether that be racism or bigotry or, you know, just treating their kid like shit. Right? Which, you know, you ever been to a grocery store or watched a parent call their kid names and cuss at them? That's hate speech to me and borderline child abuse. Right?
And maybe that's an extreme example, but I have a metahuman being that enjoys hate speech. However, it is protected under the first amendment, guys. Whether we like it or not because if if that human being is born with natural rights, which they are, we all are, then they have the right to say what they want. We have the right to not agree with it. Okay?
You see how that works? So our preamble says, hey, everybody's created equal, right, And I don't care about the language because I know some of you guys out there on that lean far to the left think, well, it says all men, and we just we singled out women, but no no no. It's all men. All mankind. Right?
We call all of us mankind. Right? And woman, man is in there, it's mankind, it's humans. Okay? So let's it is what it is.
Don't get caught up on the stupid stuff, the little stuff, because it's irrelevant. All humans are created equal. K. We're all born equal with these natural rights. And that's how our government was established.
And if you look at it, so they gave us the constitution, the preamble, the amendments that which protects those rights against overreach from our own government because again, the government was formed to protect these natural rights. Not only from foreign adversaries and from our neighbors but from the government potentially overreaching in the future as well. So it's important to understand that. That's why we were given the legislative branch. The legislative branch is there to create laws, right, to say, okay, we might need a new law to again, every law created in congress should be an attempt at protecting natural rights.
And that is why, guys, you you feel so disconnected anymore, especially the older generation, from a lot of the things that congress is doing and the laws that they're passing. And for every bureaucratic agency that is created out of these laws or have been created over the last 200 plus years, gets us more and more away from actually securing our our rights. They'll tell you that's what they're doing, but it it's really not and my book goes into that. And that's why it feels so so out of whack because the legislative was created to pass laws that may come up in the future to protect we may need additional laws to protect those natural rights. And that's where the legislative branch comes in.
So we elect representatives to go and on our behalf because the founding fathers knew that you're gonna have all these states, and they originally they were colonies, with all these different thoughts and opinions of ways to protect their own and put and put in their 2¢ of how these natural rights should be protected. That's why we elect, you know, our representatives and they go and to make sure that our rights, our sovereignty in the states that we chose to live in are protected from a national government or other states potentially, right? Because a state can't also infringe on the natural rights of the citizens of another state. So we send our representatives as part of the legislative branch and that's why it was created is is to pass laws. And unfortunately with the house of representatives, decide how to spend our money.
Not the government's money. Right? Not Ukraine's money. Not illegal immigrants money. Our money.
There's where you got the legislative branch. And then our founding father said we also need an executive. We need somebody who can run these day to day operations and who can, not only run the day to day operations, but the bureaucracies that are created to protect citizens' rights, but also to execute the judicial or not judicial, but the, prosecute prosecutorial, that's a tough one to say, elements of the laws that we create which is why the justice, department of justice falls under the executive branch. So we need somebody that can operate the day to day, the treasury, make sure that the this new government that is solely designed to protect our rights has the money and that that money is managed well and to execute, the laws of this country, which is the executive branch, and why the department of justice falls under the executive branch. And some of these agencies that are designed to protect the laws, and make sure that citizens are not infringing on each other's natural rights exist.
And then they said, well we need, that's great, but the other checks and balance we need here is to make sure that the way this justice is being carried out is fair. Fair to what? Our natural rights, right? Because if we're born free and have natural rights, then we can't we cannot dole out judicial punishment in a way that is unfair to our natural rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness and property and all these other things. And that's why our judicial branch was created, our supreme court.
And that was all to make sure that the way this justice system was rolled out and the way that it was executed was in favor of natural rights. Right? Which is why we have the 4th amendment and why we have the right to a speedy trial, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. Because we're free humans. Nobody can dominate us.
And if somebody is gonna accuse us of doing something wrong and infringing on somebody else's natural rights, we must be proven in we must be innocent until proven guilty by a court or jury of our peers. Our peers are equals because we're all born equal, so therefore we're all the same. And it's not fair for an entity like a government body or a corporation or whatever to try us and accuse us of something under this natural compact. It's only fair if our equals other people, right, that are in this social compact with us, determine based off of evidence that there is, you know, no reasonable doubt, right, that we actually did the thing we're being accused of. And the supreme court's job is to make sure that these laws actually match our constitution which protects our natural rights.
So if congress passes something and the supreme court's like, no, that doesn't match the intent of this social compact, our constitution, so it's unconstitutional. It's no good. It's no good. Or if you were wrongfully accused of something whether that be in a criminal or a criminal or a civil suit, the supreme court can say, no. We believe this person's natural rights were violated whether that be through procedure or maybe they were wrongfully accused or maybe it did lack evidence, etcetera, etcetera because natural, free people cannot be assumed to be guilty because we're free to do whatever we wanna do.
That's the whole point of having natural rights and being born free. So that is how our government got put together. It was literally designed to protect our natural rights. Now, I was not planning at the beginning of this episode to go down the rabbit hole on this, but I just felt as I was getting ready to hit the record button that this is so important to understand. It will show you if you understand where all of this stems all of it stems from.
You know, the the constitution or or, republic or constitutional republic or democratic republic. How it was designed, why it was designed, and that it was all based off of this belief in this social compact around the idea that we were all equal. We're born free, and we're all equal. Nobody is more than or better than or less than or whatever than anybody else. We're all equal under the eyes and the laws of God and the universe.
That is where our rights come from. That is where our government, form of government, came from. K? That's why it exists. And once you understand that, you're able to see where the government is getting it wrong.
You're able to have an opinion. Well, everybody's entitled to opinion because we're born free. Whether they're good opinions or bad opinions or right or wrong or indifferent, it doesn't matter. You're entitled to your opinion. But this will help form your understanding of what those opinions should be.
Like, how do I grade whether my government, the people that I elected to represent and protect my natural rights, how they're doing? Are they doing good? Are they doing bad? Well, you always go back to the natural rights question. Are they in this measure, whatever it is they're doing, whether it be legislation or a judicial decision or a local school board decision or etcetera, etcetera, etcetera, how does that protect my natural rights?
Does it protect my natural rights of equality, life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness? And if the answer to that is no, then they're doing a horrible job. They're doing a shit job. Keeping in mind that this social compact was designed for us, the people who are here, not the entire world which is the immigration issue that we have today and what I was really gonna dive into. But I felt like I can't dive into these components of the book without first telling you what all of this is measured off of.
Right? There has to be a reference point in all of this, and that reference point and what we measure the progress or whatever the grading of our representatives is based off of this idea of natural rights. Okay? So we've established natural rights in that our social compact is just for American citizens. And that is so important to understand in all of this because you're gonna hear and I've heard it, I've seen it, I know you have too, and I know it's it's been confusing for a lot of you and and and shit, even me at times, I'm like well, should I feel differently about this immigration issue and open borders and because I am compassionate and I do care about other people, and I've met so many great people from all around the world because they're humans too, and they were born equal and and free just like me.
But the problem, guys, is that they weren't born into our social compact. And you can't have a functioning social compact if you don't follow it, if you don't uphold it. It will create chaos. And when chaos is created or pursued, that is a violation of your natural rights. So the only way to protect your natural rights is to create a social compact by which we all agree will we we will abide by.
And that's what happened in the United States of America back in the 1700. So when we get to a topic like open borders, and I've heard people say it, you've heard people say it, we should welcome everybody. You know, you read what's on the Statue of Liberty and, you know, bring your sick weary and tired and and excuse me. I just coughed. I apologize.
And you see all these things and you see people say, oh, no. No. No. America everybody has the right to pursue the American dream, etcetera, etcetera. That's what America was built on.
We're a melting pot. We're a country of immigrants. Yes. But, and there is a big but in there, you have to abide by the social compact that we created. Otherwise, we descend into chaos.
And chaos, the very function of chaos is a violation of our natural rights, and that's why it's a problem. And that social compact, guys, is not built in in now circling back to open borders and the immigration issue that we're seeing in America, and that's been brought up by the almost estimates are close to 30,000,000 undocumented illegal people crossing into our country breaking our social compact. Right? The FEMA running out of money to help these folks that have been affected by Helene and, you know, the stuff you guys have seen out of Springfield, and I'm not talking about the dogs and cats stuff. That's stupid.
But it's a real problem for the citizens of spring Springfield. It's it's an overwhelming problem. And you got a lot of people who are just really confused on what immigration is and should be. The reason going that we have immigration laws is to protect the social compact between American citizens. Right?
Because if we don't uphold that compact, our constitution, and the laws that are on the books that were passed, then you're violating the natural rights of the citizens of the United States. That's what's happening. That's why the social compact, the the constitution is so so important to follow and to uphold and the laws that are written on the books are executed the way they were designed and not to be manipulated for social justice or warriors because that's not part of the social compact of the United States of America and its citizens. So in the case of open borders, you have to have borders. Otherwise, because again, the government was designed to protect the natural rights of the American people from foreign adversaries or foreign actors and domestic ones.
So if you don't put up borders and say, hey, we've gotta control who comes in and out because our sole job as the government in the United States is to protect the natural rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness for our citizens. The people who actually run, operate and pay for this social compact in this country. We we need a border to protect our citizens from anybody just coming in and out because we don't know your intentions. Right? We can't see inside your mind, but what we do know is we have an obligation to protect the natural rights of the citizens of this country.
So we gotta have borders and there has to be a process by which you guys come in and out. There has to be a process by which you become an American citizen if you were not born here. Right? Because the compact says only naturally born, meaning they were born here to American citizens on American soil. Only those people are automatically in the social compact.
That's it. So if you were born in India or Pakistan or Mexico or anywhere, Venezuela, I don't care, Canada, you're not a natural citizen. So you are not a citizen of the United States. You're not in our social compact. Because just allowing you to jump over the fence and be like, hey, I'm here.
I'm I'm in now too violates the social compact. It violates the natural rights of the citizens of this country. And the citizens of this country get to decide who comes and gets to be a part of this social compact and who doesn't. It's a right, or I'm sorry, it's a privilege, not a right for people who were not born into this social compact. Because the social compact did not say that it was between us and all the other countries of the world.
It was between us, American citizens, and the government that we created and each other. That was it. That was it. And so now the citizens of this social compact get to decide who comes and who doesn't. That's why we have immigration laws.
That's why we have citizenship laws. Now I'm not gonna sit here and argue today or debate whether or not those laws are good or bad or could be better or what whatever, but they exist to protect the natural rights of American citizens. Not Venezuelan citizens, not Mexico citizens, not Germany citizens, Ukrainian citizens, American citizens. And I hope you guys get that point up to this point. Because it's important.
It's important to understand this. We have to have laws. We have to have laws that protect immigration. And I I I just kinda wanna dive a little bit. I don't wanna get too deep in the weeds, and I'm sorry I'm all up on the microphone sniffling and all that, but this is just so important.
This is literally, like, one of the most important topics in our country right now. The the legal immigration immigration issues. Especially when FEMA say, hey, we ran out of money, but we also spent over a $1,000,000,000 on, you know, legal immigration, money that shouldn't have been spent. The reason that's a problem guys and the reason it should upset you, is because it is a violation of your natural rights. It's a it's a violation of our, compact.
Right? That's it. That it's it's a violation of of everything. So, you know, legal immigration exists for a reason. It provides a structured process that allows individuals to enter the country ensuring they meet certain criteria that benefits both the immigrants and the nation they are entering.
Right? It is a privilege if you weren't born in this social compact, our constitutional United States, then it is a privilege to come here. We welcome people from all over the world, but you gotta go through the process Because we determine who's coming in and who's not. And in order for a social and this is one of the biggest reasons this matters on immigration. One of the biggest reasons there has to be a process to come into this country is for assimilation.
Because if people don't understand American laws and values, right, why we have this social compact, why it's important because it protects our natural rights, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera, we descend into chaos. Without assimilation to our laws, right, and understanding why they exist, why natural rights exist, etcetera, etcetera, why the government exists is to protect our natural rights, then the people coming in don't understand the values. Right? And when I'm saying values, I'm not talking about like whether you go to church on Sunday or, you believe in, putting your cart back in the cart corral at, Lowe's or Home Depot or Walmart, you know, I'm talking about our social compact values. The the values of natural rights.
Because not everybody from everywhere around the world believes in those values, which are American principled values. So it's important that they assimilate because if you don't assimilate to the laws, again, the laws, the social compact that we all agreed to abide by, which we are all doing, or the values of that social compact, then you can't be here because you will descend us into chaos and chaos is a violation of our natural rights because chaos does not help us pursue life, liberty, and happiness. These are designed, guys, to protect the interests of everybody involved, to include the people trying to immigrate here, but more importantly, to the citizens of this country. You know? We need to facilitate smooth integrations into our society, and that's what the immigration laws and the citizenship process do.
And, yes, it may take a long time. It may be a long process, but that's okay. That's okay. And maybe we can shorten it a little bit or try to streamline it and assimilate people faster if we're really serious about taking in more citizens. But that should be up to the citizens as a whole, not just the elected few elite that are really just trying to buy votes.
That's and if you don't think that's what's happening, you don't understand what's going on in America. You don't understand the violations, the daily violations of our natural rights that our current government and the people in that government are doing on a regular basis, which is why this show exists, which is why I'm speaking up, which is why many of you out there are looking around going, what the hell is going on here? None of this makes sense. Down is up and up is down and left is right and right is left. It's all fucked up.
It's all fucked up because they keep violating our natural rights. The purpose of legal immigration is not to exclude or discriminate, Okay? But it's to ensure that newcomers are prepared to contribute to their new home here, the US. They have to come here ready to contribute not only to our economy and our communities, but to the values that this social compact in America created. So they have to be ready.
It's not about discrimination or excluding people. K? It's about their ability to assimilate and contribute. Immigration, guys, into our social compact should be viewed as a privilege, not an entitlement. Because with privilege comes certain responsibilities.
With entitlement, there are no responsibilities. When people are entitled to be here or feel that they're entitled to be here or you folks out there who are making them feel like they're entitled to be here because you are also violating our social compact and should be held to account especially if you're in a leadership role, you are creating an entitlement where no responsibility is taken by the people immigrating to this country. Because if you're entitled to something, you don't hold responsibility to that something, to that thing, which is why immigration into our social compact should be a privilege. And we should all see it as such. And we should never forget that yes, we are all privileged to be born in this country.
I don't care if you're black, white, brown, Asian, what it doesn't matter. Every it's not white privilege, it's not black privilege, it's not Asian. That shit's gotta stop. It's racist. I'm tired of hearing it.
Because we the truth of the matter is is we are all privileged to be born here. Every one of us. It is a privilege and with privileges come responsibilities. Responsibilities to uphold the social compact that exists to do nothing more than protect our natural rights of being equal to one another and pursuing life, liberty, and happiness. Legal immigrants should be, and I said legal, expected to learn the language and understand the laws and participate in civic life in this country.
This process fosters a sense of belonging and unity. For all of you guys preaching unity and just saying unity comes by opening the borders and just letting all these people pour in, you have it backwards. You're putting the cart before the horse. The process that is gonna foster a sense of belonging and unity is making sure that immigrating into this country, into this social compact is a privilege that comes with responsibility. That and assimilation and that when you are asking somebody to to learn the language and understand the laws and understand the values and participate in the civic life of their new country, That is what will create belonging and unity and create a shared identity that transcends individual backgrounds.
Because just like the founding fathers fathers knew that there would be different opinions in every single state around the country, so we need to send elected representatives from every one of them because every individual background has a different thought and feeling about how to accomplish something, but we all have to share in the shared identity that we are American citizens and that we created a social compact, a government, a constitutional republic that solely exists to protect our rights, our natural given rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. And I know I keep saying that over and over again. It's for effect. It's because I'm trying to drive home the point and why this matters. And we can make all the arguments and it's fine that, you know, immigration has contributed to economic growth and that immigrants bring diverse skills and perspectives and they fill gaps in labor markets and sometimes help us foster innovation.
And I agree with all of that. And I agree that this is a country that is a melting pot and built with immigrants. But, there was a time when immigrants saw coming here and becoming a citizen as a privilege, and they worked tirelessly to learn the language, and to uphold the values of being American. They don't you don't have to give away your values of your religion because again, that goes back to our natural laws or natural rights. We because we're free from the the day we're born and can do what we have the right to pursue whatever religion we want.
We have the right to live where we want and say what we want and do what we want, which creates individuality, which is great, but we all must share in the idea of America, in the social compact that keeps our natural rights in check, and with that comes responsibilities, and we can make all the arguments about how immigrants have contributed. And those are all fine arguments, but you're missing the point of why there has to be a process of immigration into our country. Because we can also make the counterpoint on the consequences. When you bypass the structured process, allowing individuals to enter or remain in the country without the same level of scrutiny or expectations of assimilation to natural born citizens, that has severe consequences. It will have consequences if there's no assimilation, especially if they're not assimilating into the economy or the workforce because they're going to naturally use resources built by the citizens of the country.
So you'll see issues in public services. You'll see tax dollars being spent on basically keeping these people alive and safe, which is a burden on the people who are just trying to keep their families alive and safe, which is their natural right to do so. And when you are spending these people's money, the American citizens' money, keeping noncitizens safe and alive and well, you're in turn violating the natural rights of that American citizen. Now you've maybe never been able to articulate that point as to why it's pissing you off that we're spending all this money on illegal illegal immigration and you gotta listen to tone deaf politicians tell you you're hateful and bigoted because you're not okay just accepting these people into our country. This is your articulation.
It's because the process of doing so is a violation of your natural rights in our social compact. That is the articulation. So you're not crazy, you're not weird for being like, what? This is bullshit. Why is this happening?
I work my ass off. I get up every day. I go to work. I put my boots on or I put my nursing shoes on, which I I see you nurse with those thick soled shoes. You're on your feet all day long.
I get it. I'm with you. Love you. But you put your shoes on, you put your boots on, your thick soled shoes, and you go to work, you stand on your feet all day, you bust your ass for a paycheck, and then you struggle to pay those student loans, you know, which I that's all that's in the book too. So it's a racket.
But you you struggle to do that, you struggle to put food on the table, you struggle to pay the mortgage, and then you're sitting there thinking, how do I provide the best life for my kids, the next generation? If you don't have kids, you probably have nieces and nephews or cousins or someone you love in this country that you wanna be able to put on your shoulders and provide a better life to. So when you see that your hard earned resources, your tax dollars are going to things that violate your natural rights. You will naturally be pissed off and upset. And do not let these tone deaf elitist politicians or social justice warriors who don't even know what the fuck they're talking about tell you you're crazy or a bigot or anything else because you're not.
You are just seeing the violation of the social compact and your natural rights. And as I said at the beginning of the podcast, of the show, what is the point of being an American citizen if there's no social compact in place to protect our natural rights? What's the point? And part of the thing that I know is pissing you off and you probably can't articulate because it's taken me forever to articulate it, the thing that is pissing me off is that my natural rights are being violated, and nobody seems to give a shit. Well, I give a shit, and I know you give a shit, and it's time we get leaders and elected people in place that also give a shit about our natural rights because, guys, that's where it all begins.
So socially, culturally, illegal immigration challenges the notion of a unified national identity. The United States, guys, as I said, was built on the idea of a melting pot, where immigrants from diverse backgrounds come together from a unique to form, sorry, a unique American culture. And you see that every day. Walk through any major city in America. We have a unique culture.
It's a melting pot. It's a beautiful thing. But this requires a process of assimilation because if we're gonna bring all these newcomers with different cultures and backgrounds and individual ideas and religions and all the good stuff that makes this a beautiful place to live, It requires a process that we at least assimilate to the social compact. To being an American citizen. Where we adopt the language, the values, the customs of what it is to be American.
Without this, guys, we see we we risk fragmentation, where individuals remain isolated with their own communities rather than being a part of the larger national fabric of America. And we're seeing that. We're seeing that. How many times do you see protests or marches or where people are flying a flag from another country and not the United States? That's not it's not assimilation.
That's not that's not valuing the privilege that you had to become an American citizen. The privilege that so many of our forefathers have fought and died for watered the tree of liberty with blood so that other people can just pretend that they're still from another country and that country is more important. It's fragmentation, and that's what we're seeing today in America, which is a direct violation of the social compact, which is this government being created by the people, for the people, of the people solely to protect our natural rights of life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness. And just ask yourself, how do you feel about your life, your liberties, and your pursuit of happiness? Because I can tell you there's a lot of people out there that don't feel like their life is in a good place and they feel like their liberties are being taken away more and more every year by a more overreaching and tyrannical government, and and there's a lot of people that just aren't happy.
Look at our suicide rates. Look at our suicide rates amongst men in this country. The backbone. You know, the guys that go out and put in our infrastructures and do the jobs nobody else wants to do. How's that for happiness?
The problem we have right now is open border policies are being presented by leaders even at the local level as a more humane and inclusive approach to immigration. Proponents of this argue that everyone should have the right to seek a better life regardless of where they are born. They frame any opposition to this as some sort of -ist or phobia or hateful or racist, suggesting that those who support immigration controls are motivated by fear or hatred of the other person trying to come into this country. That, my friends, is manipulation. When somebody is trying to frame your concerns about our social compact, our constitution, and protecting our natural rights as hatred or bigotry, they are manipulating your emotions.
That is an emotional manipulation tactic solely designed to shut you up. Because there isn't a single person, just like I said earlier, there's not a single person I know that enjoys hate speech. It is protected under the first amendment whether you like it or not. I don't like hate speech, but I will fight and die for that stupid idiot person, that bigot to say whatever he wants to say because that's the only way to protect the natural rights of all humans. It's not open for debate.
You either agree with natural rights and the protection of them or you don't. And if you don't, you don't believe in freedom. And when these people, whether it's a local leader or a national leader or whatever that manipulate and try to manipulate your emotions and make you feel bad for thinking there's something wrong with this is manipulation and it works well. And I'm telling you stop falling for the emotional manipulation. Stop letting it get to you.
Stop feeling bad for having the thought. Now if those thoughts are making you feel bigoted or racist, you need to check yourself and you need to check your insides because it shouldn't make you hate the other person. It should make you hate the people that are allowing it to happen. Right? Because of course everybody wants to come to the United States.
I don't blame people from Mexico or Venezuela or the Middle East or African countries or Haiti for wanting to come here. I don't blame them. I don't blame them. We are lucky and privileged to be a to have been born here. So I don't blame them for wanting to come here.
This is one of this this is the shining light on the hill, guys. So I don't blame any person for wanting to come here. And I don't hate them for wanting to come here. And I know most of you don't either. I know there's a sliver of people out there that are bigoted and racist.
And they need to look inside themselves because they end up hating the people that that wanna come here for a better life. But you're putting your your frustration in the wrong place. Put it in where in the place it belongs which is with the people making the decisions to allow this to happen and the breakdown of the social compact in which we all agreed and they agreed and swore to when they swore into office they would uphold, they're the problem. Not the immigrants, the people allowing it to happen are the problem. Don't let them frame you as being hateful or racist for speaking up and talking about the violation of the social compact, the the constitutional republic we all agreed to.
And, hey, if they don't like the social compact in the constitution, then they should try to change it. They should go against us and try to change it, but they won't because they know they can't. Because there's enough of us left that believe in life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness and that we're all born equal and we are all born free, and we won't allow it to happen. This framing creates a moral high ground. So not only is it manipulation to make you feel bad, it's virtue signaling.
It's it's a moral high ground argument. That is a moral high ground, guys. This this framing of a moral high ground. Oh, you you just you don't agree with these people trying to come here for a better life because you're hateful. It's a moral high ground argument, which are so difficult to challenge.
Even when the policies that they create are flawed, it's it's hard to challenge because somebody is saying to you, I am just a kinder, nicer, more loving person than you. And we are all the the vast majority of the people I've met in the United States America are all wonderful, nice people. The vast majority of American citizens will give you the shirt off their back. Just look in North Carolina and Tennessee, North Georgia, North South Carolina right now. All the people that have been pouring in there just loaded up their trucks and drove 100 of miles.
It it it it puts a frog in my throat thinking about it because that's America. That's that's the American people. Loading up their own personal trucks with as much water, food, gas, medicine as they possibly can, and driving into hell to help their fellow citizens. That's America. That's worth fighting for.
So don't let these elite snobs, these fucking bullshit, morally high ground, virtue signaling assholes make you feel bad about seeing a problem for what it is and understanding they're breaking the social fabric. Sorry. Social fabric. I mean, they are breaking the social fabric because they're breaking the social compact of our rights, our natural given rights. So don't let them get the moral high grade.
Don't let them take it. Just call them out for what they are. They're virtue signaling. I'm just better than you because I think everybody should have the the right to be here. Well, that's a violation of the social compact, fool, and we're gonna call you out for it.
Because what they don't realize is the reality that open borders can do is way worse and something maybe they understand. And again, I don't wanna contribute it to malice, but maybe it is. What they fail to realize is the reality of open borders can do more to decay a country than to strengthen it because of the chaos. See, a nation is defined not just by its geography, but by its culture, values, and social compact. Open borders erode the sense of a shared national identity, and it creates a situation where individuals are not expected to integrate or contribute to the society in the same way as those who followed the legal process.
And for all of you that did follow the legal process and became citizens, God bless you. And I'm sure you're just as pissed off as natural born citizens because we were privileged and blessed to just be born here. You came here. You followed the laws. You did the right thing.
You took the responsibilities of becoming an American citizen seriously, and you understood the privilege that it provided you. And I say to you, God bless you. And I know you're just as pissed off, and you have every right to be, so you need to speak up too. See, this undermines the very concept of citizenship. It blurs the lines between legal residents and those who have entered the country illegally or through legal means that do not require assimilation.
Henceforth, the situation we're seeing in Springfield, Ohio with the Haitian migration. Because the laws that are on the books right now for asylum were violated because nobody from Haiti actually has a valid asylum argument. It was rubber stamped by the Harris Biden administration, which is worse. It's one thing to not even follow the laws that are on the books. Right?
The the social compact that we have. It's another to manipulate them and then virtue signal and tell everybody who's calling you out on your bullshit and your manipulation of our social compact, the laws that are on the books as being wrong is worse. These people, that is you literally signaling you don't give a shit about the social compact, the constitutional republic, more importantly, and that all exists, to more importantly protect our natural rights. So it makes it worse. It should make your blood boil that they are stomping on your natural rights as a citizen who decided to follow the social compact.
Isn't it funny how you follow every law, letter of the law, you do everything right, you work your ass off, you don't ask for much except to be left alone to live your life in the pursuit of your happiness and these fuckers come in and step on those rights every chance they get. Why? Money, power, privilege, prestige, elitist. Elitism. I'm better than you.
Moral high ground. I know more. I'm smarter. I'm the smartest person in the fucking room. No, you're not.
And we're starting to see through it, and I apologize. I dropped the f bomb a lot on this episode. So if you got little ones in the car, or you're out, I I apologize. Yeah. I I think I warned you guys, but this just fires me up, and I'm done.
The American people are often left to bear the costs of this, guys, of the illegal and rampant Amnesty or asylum, both financially and socially. And we are seeing examples of this throughout the country. And we have so many tone deaf leaders and and not only at the local level in these communities saying, oh, there's nothing wrong here. There's nothing to say. You're the problem for bitching.
Why don't you stop bitching and start helping do something? Well, I'm sorry. I'm not the one that decided to fucking violate policies and laws to bring the people in here. Now you want me to roll up my sleeves and do the work to solve the problem. Why the hell did I elect you?
And that is the question you should be asking. And every single one of these people that are sitting in a position of leadership, elected leadership, should be voted out in the very next cycle. This is no longer can we have short short term memory guys or short attention span here in America. We have to remember the failings of these people and get rid of them. We still have the opportunity to use the social compact that we have in election laws and our ability to go to the polls and get rid of these people.
Because if we don't take advantage of that now, we're going to have to water the tree of liberty with the blood of patriots and tyrants. That's a quote for Thomas from Thomas Jefferson, by the way. And I am not advocating for violence, but if we don't take the opportunity to use the tools that exist in a peaceful manner, there is only that option. But this creates a financial and social strain on Americans, on citizens. They're asked to pay for services that benefit individuals who have not followed the legal process, who have not been forced to assimilate into their communities and into the values that it is to be an American.
And when they voice those concerns about this, they get labeled. They get virtue signal. This reaction stifles open and honest discussion about the real impacts of illegal immigration, And it dismisses the legitimate concerns of citizens who believe in the rule of law and the importance of national sovereignty because they understand it all exists and only exists to protect your natural rights. Moreover, this influx of illegal immigrants has a direct impact on workers, especially those who typically do low wage jobs, which sometimes and I've been there. I've been in the situation where I was down on my luck or when I was first starting out in life that the only jobs I could get without skills and experience was a low wage job.
And in this social compact, citizens should have the opportunity for those jobs first, because they're citizens. Oftentimes, this competition for these low wage jobs, it ends up driving down wages, and it makes it more difficult for American citizens to find employment. This is not an issue of race or ethnicity ethnicity. Man, I sometimes those words are hard for me. I get tongue tied, and when you got a big old pinch of tobacco in your mouth, which I do, and I I know it makes my words seem a little bit more slurry, and and I apologize.
But I just, you know, I love my cup of coffee and a good pinch of dip. That's American, man. I I don't I don't know if it is or isn't, but, I like it. But it's not about race, guys. It's about the economic reality that affects unregulated labor markets and that is something we don't talk about and it's hard to have those kind of conversations, honest conversations about the real impact socially and financially that illegal immigration has on these communities around our country because we got too many tone deaf people taking the moral high ground and just trying to simply say, I'm better than you.
Because I believe everybody should come from anywhere and and be able to live a better life. And I agree. Every human being born has natural rights, but they were not born into this social compact, and that is the point of the argument that all these people forget and miss. And it they have to wake up. Illegal immigration, guys, it's a it's a complex issue right now, and I get it, But it requires honest and nuanced discussion.
It's not about demonizing individuals who come to America seeking a better life. K? We we've we've discussed that. I think I've made that clear. The hate isn't with them.
Who wouldn't want to come here? So it's not about demonizing them. You know, they're they're just seeking a better life, and I I get it. But if this is about recognizing the importance of a structured process that ensures the well-being of both the immigrant and more importantly, and I am not afraid and neither should you be to say it, more importantly, the well-being of the citizens of this country. K?
We have to acknowledge that open borders can have a far reaching consequence for not only the economy, but culture and our democratic principles, which are the social compact, our natural rights. That's why it matters. If we are going to maintain the integrity of our democracy, and I'm starting to kinda hate that word because it gets used wrong sometimes. So I don't know. Maybe I'll I don't know.
I'm not saying I hate democracy. I mean we're just not a democracy. We're a constitutional republic. That is the social compact. But if we're able to maintain, guys, the integrity of the American dream, we must we must address the realities of illegal immigration, and the impact that has on our social compact.
We have to uphold the rule of law and protect the rights of our citizens, and we have to ensure that those who wish to come to America do so through a process that allows for integration and contribution to our nation, our social compact, that future. Because it's not about the individual. It's about the collective, the social compact. This crazy idea and experiment that we are been pulling off for over 200 years in this country. But there has to be a process.
Otherwise, our future descends into chaos, and chaos destroys our natural rights. It's not and I repeat, this is not an issue of exclusion, but of preserving the principles that make America a place worth coming to in the first place. Let me say that again. This is not an issue of exclusion. The social compact is not to purposefully or flippantly or flagrantly exclude people, but it's about preserving the principles of that social compact, of the natural rights that we agreed to to make America a place worth coming to in the first place.
Because without that, guys, this won't be a place worth coming to to begin with. And if it becomes a place not worth coming to, then by nature and by logic, it's become a place not worth living in. The only thing that has made America outside of its beauty, its natural beauty, its landscapes, and its people, the only thing that's made America worth living in has been the protection of our natural rights as human beings. And we've not always gotten it right. K.
I'm not gonna make that argument. I'm not even gonna debate that. We have history that shows this ex grand experiment of protecting natural rights has clearly and obviously not always gotten it right. But, man, we pursue it. We have pursued it relentlessly, and we we have worked tirelessly to get it right.
And I don't think opening up the borders and welcoming every single person in here accomplishes that because it'll descend into chaos. And this just won't be a place worth living. And again, the cart before the horse. The reason people come here is because it's a place worth living in. Let's keep it that way.
So the question guys is not about whether we should be a nation of immigrants. We always have been and always will be. But it's about how we manage that process in a way that is fair, just, and in the best interest of the country and its people, not in the best interest of the immigrant or the asylum seeker. It's a privilege. Only through honest dialogue and thoughtful policy can we hope to navigate the complex issues and uphold the values that define us as a nation.
That's it. That's the only way it works. So anyway, that's it, guys. I know I went down the rabbit hole of natural resources or natural natural rights, natural resources. Yeah.
We did have a conversation about the use of our natural resources too, but not on today's episode. Anyway, guys, so I today, we we got down the rabbit hole of natural rights. Why that's important? It's so important to understand why everything exists to begin with, and it is literally to protect your natural rights. You know, some of that that I I talked about directly comes from the book that's gonna release.
So keep your eyes out for that release date. You will be the first to know everybody that's listening to the show. It is coming soon, and, I promise it's gonna be one of the most eye opening reads you'll have this year. If you if you're one of those people that feels like things just aren't adding up, like something's off in our country, and it is, especially on, like, handling immigration, border control, this book will connect the dots for you. You'll start to see the facade.
Right? The the illusion, if you will. So anyway, guys, make sure you subscribe. I don't want you to miss a single episode, and and do me a favor, share the show. I wanted to get this out to as many people as possible because we have serious problems in this country, and I just don't feel like we're having serious conversations.
And I think in a lot of places, we've we're missing the boat. Like, we are putting, priority on moral high ground arguments and virtue signaling and all these things at the cost of what really matters, and that is our natural rights. So, you know, share the show. Get it out to as many people as you can. If if it brought any value, made you think, you know, opened your mind, and you think it will do so for a friend or a family member, you know, please, show it to them.
It would mean the world to me. You know, the more we talk about these things, the harder it becomes for the powers that are currently in place to keep selling us on the illusion that what they have for us is, you know, good for us and is protecting our natural rights as Americans and as citizens. So anyway, guys, that's it for today's episode. I'm Justin Staton, and as always, stay strong, stay informed, and most importantly, guys, stay in the fight. Alright.
Until next time.
