00:00Mr. President, in breaking news, a short time ago, the Supreme Court agreed to hear oral arguments in the case about ending birthright citizenship.
00:09How confident are you that the court will rule in your favor and allow that order to end birthright citizenship to go forward?
00:16Well, you're just telling me that for the first time. I am so happy. I think the case has been so misunderstood.
00:22That case, birthright citizenship, is about slavery. If you look at the details of it, the signings of it, everything else, that case is all about slavery.
00:34And if you view it from that standpoint, people understand it. But for some reason, lawyers don't talk about it. The news doesn't talk about it.
00:43That's not about tourists coming in and touching a piece of sand and all of a sudden they're a citizenship. You know, they're a citizen.
00:49That is all about slavery. And even look at the dates on which it was signed. It was right at that era, during, right after the Civil War.
01:01And if you look at it that way, the case is an easy case to win. And I hope the lawyers talk about birthright, citizenship and slavery, because that's what it was all about.
01:14And it was a very positive. It was meant to be positive. And they use it now instead, not for slavery.
01:20They use it for people that come into our country and they walk in and all of a sudden they become citizens and they pay a lot of money to different cartels and others.
01:31It's all about slavery. And if you look at it that way, we should win that case.
01:35Your parents.
01:53Their children.
01:53The children.
