We'll give away some more here. A little bit later this hour, too. Just having fun. and I want to make sure that your fourth, the 250th, is going to be a big celebrator. I have a feeling there's going to be a lot of booming going on Saturday, that's for sure. And what do you say, Brad? Welcome. What's on your mind today, huh?

Well, Bill, I was really inspired by that discussion on robotic inmate management, and I really think that you're on to something. You know, the reason that prisons are so expensive to build is you have to build this confinement structure to keep, you know, to keep me in there. But what if you had a situation? where they didn't really want to leave. What if, you know, what if, for instance, if those robotic inmate management units that you're talking about, what if they look like Sidney-Sweeney or Jennifer Lopez or Raquel Wells or in the women's prisons, what if they look like James Brown or George Clooney

and you license, and you know, you feed these guys, you give them their own personal robotic inmate management unit, you know, the guy kind of talked to him. And here's the thing. Yeah, yeah, I could see the Sydney sweeteney one. You know something, prisoner number 1249. You've been a bad, bad boy. Guys are disgusting.

We are. Anyway. Here's the genius of your idea. Every one of those robotic inmate management units negates the need for paying a human being. So the human being is out of danger and that saving it probably 150 grand a year because as Danny Jordan has said, we can afford to build the jail. We just can't afford to staff it to the level it's required by federal guidelines.

Yeah. I guess the challenge is what happens in a world in which humans just aren't good enough? Well, you know, if you make it so that the bad guys don't want to leave prison, then you give all kinds of other energy available to do productive, beneficial things. Okay, so it almost sounds like you're advocating like, okay, we put him in jail and give him a sex doll. Is that kind of where you're going? I didn't say that, Bill. I didn't say that. Well, no, I was kind of making the next logical leap, okay?

But thanks, Brad. Yay. All right, thank you. We'll have the Kim Commando digital update. Hopefully it is not an AI update, but, yeah, she's actually doing it. In fact, I know she's doing it. And then we're going to talk a little bit about... You know, the reflecting pool gate.

Boy, I'll tell you, the liberal channels have been paying a lot of attention to this. How much you'll find out? This hour of the Bill Myers Show is sponsored by Fontana Roofing.

Now more with Bill Meyer.

Bill Degistino is a great guy. His name is Bill. How could he not be a great guy? But he's the senior research analyst at NewsBusters from the Media Research Center. And, you know, it is... Anyway, Bill, welcome. You watch television, so a lot of people don't have to. Is that essentially your job over there at NewsBusters?

Yeah, I mean, that's basically right. Although I watch it in a pretty dorky way. I'm usually sitting there with a copy of a transcript out. a pencil and a manotating and like the way the way a very literary person reads a novel, I guess, is that's me watching TV. All right. Well, you ended up counting it up. And I guess we'll just call it Reflecting Poolgate.

And I'm still trying to figure out what the truth is about this. But, you know, the algae happens and everyone starts going, you know, coming unglued. I think one of the challenges for President Trump is that, you know, he wanted to get a all fixed and I'm glad and believe me it was ugly the reflecting pool was bad but uh you know he he made this sure that everybody knew that his project and then of course now it's green and now i've heard talk that there was vandalism and that there was cut and other people said that no they drove the limousine down through the reflecting pool at one point do you know what the truth is of this i've seen so much conflicting reports of reports on this i couldn't tell you myself well yeah i mean so everybody

everybody's saying there is no evidence of vandalism. I mean, they're either flat out lying or they're getting that from somebody who has flat out lied to that. Okay. There objectively has been vandalism. I think that what that line was supposed to mean is there is no proof that a bit of vandalism here and there is solely responsible for what's going on with the algae and the reflecting pool. Okay. I would argue that's correct, but of course, that's not the line that the people who want to

embarrass Trump with this story are saying. Instead, I mean, it's a standard case of the media, basically taking something where they could be eminently reasonable and provide the whole picture and instead go well beyond that and end up being less correct and just less serving their. audience as a result. Yeah, but I can see how that kind of happens because President Trump, of course, is very, shall we say, well, you know, he talks a lot, sometimes exaggerates a little bit too, but then the media. Very abusive about his own public works projects. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, exactly. And it's just a look at this. It's never been worse. And now it's never been better. And then,

of course, then the media can't wait to hang him by his own partart, right, or hoist him up. Right. Right. And, I mean, unfortunately, what this does is, uh, is, uh, is, is whenever you do something like that, it makes you look incredibly petty, right? Because instead of just saying, well, obviously he's exaggerating there. He's prone to exaggeration,

our president. They say they instead have to walk in with their clipboard and their, you know, little dictionary. And they say, well, actually, uh,

no, fact check, um, it, it, it has not never been better. Uh, it was better on this date in 1979.

It was better on this date. It was better on this date. You know, and it's like, It's like, well, now you just sound like a pedantic idiot. Yeah, like you could have, there's a lot of that. It's exaggerating. So you counted it up, though, because this was Father's Day weekend that you sat down.

Father's Day weekend. And so we had this huge shooting violence and violence and knifing and all sorts of things going on in Chicago. 36 people shot seven dead in Chicago, you know, during that time, during Father's Day weekend, supposedly a joyous time. But the corporate news was all focused on. the reflecting pool. And we're talking of several hours of continuous coverage, or added up a coverage. The numbers astound me,

but maybe I shouldn't be astounded, Bill. Help us understand this. Yeah, I mean, that's a good way to put it. Actually, that's so much of my job is being impressed, despite myself knowing that I really should not be impressed by any of this. And that I was, once again, not cynical enough. for the media. But, yeah, so it's, it's, it's over four hours on, on CNN and MS now, each of them not, not combined within like a 12-day period. And then on broadcast networks, it was

45 minutes, which 45 minutes doesn't sound like much when you compare that to the 24-hour news cycle cable channels, but you have to bear in mind that ABC, CBS, NBC, they only have two and a half hours per day dedicated to just pure news. Yeah. Because they're airing a lot of just, you know, dramas and whatever else. Sure, but broadcasting cable networks, just that, just during that time, almost 10 hours of coverage, 10 hours on the reflecting pool. Yeah. Just that.

Yep. Right? Yeah. I mean, and so often, often people want a comparison when I do a study like this. And this was one of the rare instances where I said, no, no, no, we're not going to do a comparison because the answer is yes. The answer is just yes across the board. Did they cover this more than whatever you want to talk about? Yes. Yes, they did. I mean, you can compare it to literally anything that they should have been talking about. And the answer is they talked more about the reflecting pool. And so it almost doesn't matter what the comparison is. But I think that the massive slew of murders in Chicago, Chicago is a pretty excellent example, right? Because, of course, nobody has died of the reflecting pool. Well, there were some ducks they claim, some ducks they claim died in the reflecting pool, right? Yeah. But ABC did actually cover the shootings in Chicago, the one network that did cover it,

and it was 16 seconds, 16 second mention, right? Right. Right. I mean, yeah. So the total time, the total time in seconds. This is such a gruesome statistic. The total time in seconds on broadcast networks was less than the number of murders that happened that weekend. You know, I wonder if what is going on here is that the reason the networks ignore the urban carnage going on in diversity land is because it's just always that way. You know, a whole bunch of people getting killed on a holiday weekend in Chicago. Well, that's just another weekend, isn't it? I want to know that's what it is.

It's dog bites man instead of man bites dog. You're saying, I mean, that's certainly part of it. Of course, you know, you can take an unacceptable situation, an unlivable situation, even if it's become the norm, and report on it again and again and again and again. And people will become fatigued with the issue and begin to demand change. And I so I think when it comes to crime and policing specifically, the media will always be experienced. extremely hands off because they don't want any of their viewers. They don't want any of their audience or Democrat voters writ large to realize that a lot of this kind of stuff actually is a choice. Crime is not like the weather. It is significantly more preventable. It is not something that you

can routinely completely eradicate. There will always be bad actors. There will always be the occasional theft, the occasional outburst of violence, whatever. But something like 36 murders across and just a weekend, right? At that point, that's a policy choice. And so their favorite political party is not served by them harping on this way too common thing. So I guess this is why MS Now, actually MS Now was the worst of the cable networks, as an example, 108 minutes of reflecting pool coverage, nothing about the murders, but CNN. No, was it 108 minutes in three days?

I see CNN with 264. Did I flip those stats? Is it CNN with 108 and MS now at 264? What do your stats say there, Bill? So CNN had actually far outperformed MS now in the reflecting pool coverage. Oh. And so after our initial study, which just comes. covered a nine-day period. CNN was ahead. But then in the subsequent three days, MS now ran an additional

108 minutes. Oh, okay. That's, I misunderstood the stats. Okay. Wow. So MS. Now is really focused on. Well, I guess this is, their audience really wants this coverage, I would guess. They want that fed. They want it fed what Trump's incompetent. Look at Trump. What a bumbling fool. Was that kind of the coverage? tone of it. Oh, yeah, absolutely. And MS now has basically since the first Trump administration adopted this niche of, we're your security blanket. Tune in to hear why Trump's an idiot and you're right for hating him and why he might be gone soon. Maybe we can get him out, you know, whether it's 25th Amendment coverage, whether it was Mueller coverage, whether it was impeachment one impeachment two you know um anything anything really it's it's basically everybody come

here and we can all cope together and uh and talk about how he might he might be removed from office and also why we're all right and he's an idiot yeah bill i really appreciate your uh your research on this because it's like a finger blistering after finger blistering statistic of uh of media bias uh never fails to entertain as far as i'm concerned all right Final question I have for you. We'll certainly put up this report that you wrote up because you're the one that actually compiled all this. What does the reflecting pool look like right now? Do we know?

I mean, yeah, it's tinted. It's not American flag blue. It looks fine. It looks nice. I think the primary thing is that it's not murky. It's not scummy. It's reflecting. I think that the pitfall that the president walked himself into was starting to talk about the coloration and not realizing the degree to which this algae thing would be an issue.

But this was kind of a strange case of the goalpost being moved because if you remember after the initial renovation, the first, the first like triumphal post that the White House put out was the reflecting pool is reflecting again. And yes, it continues to serve its purpose in that regard. You can see the reflection of the Washington month. You know, I've been reading a lot of coverage and not necessarily from Trump-friendly media, though, that a lot of people have been thrilled with D.C. getting cleaned up. And hopefully they can keep this going after. Because, I mean, the last time that my wife and I went to D.C. was about three, four years ago, maybe a little bit more.

And during the COVID time, and none of those fountains were working. everything was drab. It was just, you know, and kind of dirty and graffiti in many of those parks. So I have to hand it to the president for saying, hey, this is a 250th anniversary of the country's founding Declaration of Independence. Why not put on a great face? And people in the area who have, even residents who have been lifers there, I'm seeing coverage of them talking about how, oh, wow, this stuff is beautiful. and it's, you know, it's working again. It's never worked ever since I've lived here.

And I would have thought he would get a little more credit for something like that, wouldn't you? You wouldn't, you would hope. And it just, it shows the degree to which all of this is never about the actual issue. It's all only about the underlying politics of it. Yeah, I guess so. But I think as far as the beautification and trying to make things safer in D.C., etc., it's, there's something, beyond politics in it, which is telling the average American who lives in that area, listen, you deserve better, you don't have to live like that.

Yeah. You deserve a clean park system. You deserve to be able to sit down next to a nice fountain that's been there for 80 years, but it's only worked for 10. And that your taxes were paying for when it wasn't working, you know? If we're going to garnish your paycheck for the fountain, how about we make it work for you? I'm good with that. MRCs, Bill Degastino, he's a senior research analyst at NewsBusters.

I appreciate you coming on. And we'll have you back. Absolutely. Yeah, thanks so much for having me. Thank you for your research. 29 after 8. You think about them. 770KMED.

And what's on your mind today, huh? Go ahead. I just wanted to say, I think it's fabulous that the 250-year anniversary, there's a mall there with a spot for every state. I think it's disgraceful that there, I think, anywhere from three to 11 states never showed up. Yeah, Oregon, by the way, was one of those states. from what I recall. I understand that.

But I think it really points out, I don't want to make this political, but the state is suffering from Trump-terangement syndrome that they can't celebrate their own state on the 250th anniversary of the country just really is a very depressing thought to me. And there is only one 250th anniversary. This is it. And, you know, the state of Oregon said, eh, it's too expensive. This state vomits money out at nonsense half the time. Let's face it, if any other person were the president, then they would be there.

I mean, it shouldn't have anything to do with the president. It's about their state. I mean, it's stupid. I think it's fabulous that this is going on with the soccer World Cup because there are so many people around the world that are here and can literally get a capitalization of America. You know, Kirk, what I thought has been really interesting. I'm sorry about that, Kirk. What I found interesting about it is how many of these people come from Europe and other nations

and they say, gosh, our own people lied to us about what America was all about. I love that. Yeah. I do a fair amount of travel, and it's amazing the one-sidedness of what. what they hear over there. And I listen to the news over there. And, I mean, it's amazing. I mean, it's depressing.

But this whole thing is depressing when you just can't get in, you know, you were in your last segment talking about the murders in Chicago, and it gets 18 seconds over a week. Yeah, exactly. You know, I think one of the smartest things that was ever done with World Cup, though, was going down into the South because the South are generally a very, very warm and very friendly people. I think that's great, you know, that a lot of them, well, oh, you never been on a boat ride

before? Come on in, get in. You know, I've seen all sorts of stories like that. You know, a guy goes out and he's watching a good old boy in Louisiana put his boat in the lake, and then the good old boy says, well, you want to go for a ride and they'd go out for a speedboat ride, and can I go see an alligator? Sure, you know. Yeah, no, it's crazy. I had friends from France come over, and we started talking to people at the table next to us at a, you know, like a hamburger place, and they were like freaked out.

And I go, what's the problem? They go, we wouldn't do that. There's no way we would talk to somebody at a table next to us. Well, and I found that out when I went to France a number of years ago. I actually really like the French, and I understand them more now. and I had always heard about them being snooty. And it's not snooty is what I found out when I visited. They are a very reserved people.

You know, it's just the culture. They're very, you know, they don't talk loudly in restaurants. It's different, right? You know, how different people have different cultures. And yeah, I'll bet they come here and it's just like, wow, this is totally different, right? Totally. Yeah. Yeah, it's crazy.

It's interesting. So anyway, I'll let the motion. Okay, well, I'm glad you called. And thank you very much, Kirk. Good hearing from you. 7-7-0-M-E-D. But yeah, I guess maybe we're told all sorts of lies about the other. Hello, Patrick.

How are you? Welcome on the Bill Meyer show. Good morning, Bill. Hey, I want to give my analysis on these ridiculous reporters, highly critical of the reflecting pool problem. And my analysis is that they seem to be saying that the only way a president can be successful is if he has zero failures. And this reflecting pool is not something that Trump created. He comes along after to try to fix it. Now, if they're so knowledgeable about it more than the president, why didn't they say, hey, get it all cleaned up?

it's going to go back to green. Did they predict that? Why didn't they say it? Yeah. If they're so knowledgeable. You know, the, but of course, when it comes right down to it, I think that Trump's personality and the media's sociopathy, too, I think they kind of feed each other a little bit. I could see how things could have been handled a little bit better.

If, and I'll just say, one thing about President Trump is that there's never a problem. I never did anything wrong or whatever it is. and sometimes I think maybe, I don't think they would have gone any easier on them, though. They just said, okay, all right, we're having a little problem here. I'm a builder. We'll get this figured out. You know, because sometimes you have to come up with another, you know, solution. The first solution you thought was going to do it, you know, it's a work in progress.

And I think it's just natural. You know, sometimes, hey, how many times have we tried to fix something the first time didn't work, right? That's correct, including those reporters. and my answer that I want to give to these reporters, these ridiculous reporters, including these that are so critical about the reflecting pool, is why don't you run for president? You can solve everything.

Well, obviously you know, right? Thanks, Patrick. Good take. 839, if you're on hold, I'll get it right to you. It's open phones for the rest of the show. Having fun today. Loving it. 770K.

This is Bill Meyer, and if you want to save money on your cell phone, and fireworks with discount fireworks superstore. 842. Oh gosh, I lost. Did I lose Brad? Oh, Brad, I lost. I lost you.

Call back. God, I had his polka theme ready and everything, I should say. Hello, Mider, Dave. Dave, you want to talk about beavers, don't you? Yeah. Yeah, I came across the program. They started up by the Smith River or someplace up there.

They were building habitat for Beaver to bring back the watershed. And so I thought, well, I'd write a proposal, which was Gork self, on reintroducing the Beaver to the Klamath River system, which they used to be here. I think that's an excellent idea. Now, hold on, Dave. Wouldn't it be interesting if your proposal then, we reintroduce the Bermanentroduce the Berman. beaver, or you reintroduce it, right, to the Klamath River, and the angry beavers start building a replacement for the Klamath Dam. How about that? Yeah, well, they're good for the watershed, and there'd never be like the lake it was,

but it would hold the water back, and it actually might cool it, and it would help with sediment. Now, what would happen to all of the, uh, the helmeted kayakers that are looking for the river to run free? What would happen if a precious guise? God's creatures. Well, that section they wouldn't be able to go through unless they wanted to carry their kayaks over the natural dams because you'd have to make it illegal for them to remove the dams. Now, my question for you, though, is from what you know then, could the tribes, could the tribes then go out and kill the beavers? Well, the tribe could trap them, but they'd have to do it in a responsible way when they got too many of them.

and you wouldn't be able to do like they did 150 years ago and slaughter them all. Well, you'd think, though, that all of the environmentalists would be perfectly happy with beavers going out there and redamming the Klamath because it's a natural dam. California to help. Yeah. Well, it's a natural dam. How could they be against it? They're not. California tuition game is promoting it.

Yeah. I would like a beaver dam about 100 feet tall on that Klamath. How about that? Well, they build more than one dam. They're constantly building dams, but it would help the watershed to keep the water in. And actually, it's turning lemons into lemonade. Yeah, I'd be okay with that.

Appreciate the call. Thanks, Dave. Good morning, KMEDE. This is Bill. Who's this? Morning, Bill. This is Bill. I was going to talk to you about those flag displays.

Oh, the flags that were banned over in, was it Massachusetts, I think, because of waving the flag would, I guess, destroy the birds, right? Yeah, yeah, but this one has to do with California at certain HOAs and condominium boards. And I did some more research because Lars has been talking about it for a couple of days. And it's called the Freedom to Display the American Flag Act. and it was passed in 2005, federal law prevents HOAs and condo boards from displaying the U.S. flag. Oh, from not displaying, right? Yeah, from not displaying. But the HOAs down there are fining the residents $100 a day for displaying their U.S. flag.

Hey, boy, I'd have to look a little bit more into it because, I mean, the federal government can then say, hey, you have a right to display the flag, right? but on the on the other hand though I also see that an HOA which of course I think are some of the most tyrannical bastards that have ever you know existed these kind of you know it's like you know the the the clip you know the Nazi clipboard people you know how it goes or the clipboard people just go around there and yeah you know your grass is just a little bit too ungreen here in this corner and then they get you but it is something that you volunteer to that you sign on to and I know that you are allowed to technically sign away your rights in a in a private contract with this in which normally you would have the right to do something but you're going to say okay I want to live here in this neighborhood hence I agree with the you know but the people but but if it's federal law passed in 2005 that prevents the HOAs from doing that how can the HOA's dispute it I would be surprised if that has this

law ever been challenged, though? Do you know? That I'm not aware of. Yeah. I don't know the H.OAs have ever fined people $100 a day for flying it. Yeah. And I appreciate what the federal government was trying to do on this one. I don't know, though, if they really have on a federal level that kind of control over so-called private property. Yeah. I pay for an HOA down in Southern California, and if they try that, that with me. They've got another thing coming. Yeah. Boy, how could you react that?

Just say, okay, go ahead and find me. Now what? Well, and I also heard that even in California, a law passed that they can only fine you one time for a specific event, $100. That's it. Oh, okay. So $100 for the flag.

It's an honest, honest trade, isn't it? I'd do that. Yeah. It'd left me alone. All right. Gosh, if we could just have everybody lit or leave us alone. How about that? Exactly.

Thank you for the call. 7705633-3-3-770K-M-E-D. You know, there is something else that I was kind of wondering about. I, like you, probably were disappointed with that birthright citizenship ruling yesterday in the Supreme Court. And I've noticed that already they're talking about, some people are trying to talk it down, that there's not a legislative, legislative remedy for this. But there are people, there are legislators that are talking about in Congress of passing some legislation, redefining, or actually putting a proper legal definition

to what subject to the jurisdiction thereof means. You know that part of the 14th Amendment. What does subject to the jurisdiction of? What does that actually mean? and they're taking this whole idea that someone just has to come here, pop a kid out, an instant citizen. And I would imagine if you're talking about original intent, 14th Amendment was really not about that subject to the jurisdiction.

And so there's talk about doing that. There's another way of fighting this too when it comes to the birth tourism sort of issue. And I was doing some research on this one yesterday, doing a little bit AI work and various others here. And I wanted to mention Section 212F of the Immigration and Nationality Act. Now, this is the part of the national or the immigration law that President Trump ended up using against the migrants from Muslim countries. This was back in 2018. In fact, it was a 2018 Supreme Court decision.

Trump v. Hawaii. I don't know if you remember that or not, but a 5-4 majority said that if the president articulates any national interest rationale, the courts really won't second guess his travel bans. And the travel ban, in that case, like I mentioned, multiple Muslim majority countries, and Scotia said it was absolutely fine. This is the part of the law, and it seems pretty clear to me.

whenever the president finds that the entry of any aliens or any class of aliens. Now remember, any. Any aliens or any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interest of the United States. He made by proclamation, that's an executive order, and for such periods as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens. Now, it seems to me that another tool in his tool chest would be to ban any importation of pregnant foreign national women. Or I suppose if I was going to go like the Democrats, pregnant people, any foreign national pregnant people.

You know how that nonsense goes. But, yeah, because the president can define any class of aliens that he wants. pregnant women, unvaccinated people, people from specific countries like he did with the predominantly Muslim countries, people who just doesn't like, I mean, well, of course, you'd have. It's a really broad law. Any president has this authority. The Supreme Court more or less confirmed it back in 2018. What would you think about that?

Now, it wouldn't solve every problem, but at least you would say, you know, you could literally say, All right, someone's there and they're trying to enter the country illegally from Mexico, obviously pregnant. No, go back. You are not coming in here to give birth because I've said that this is not in the interest. I, as the president, say that this is not in the interest of the United States of America. Would you agree with that? Would you be okay with that? He has the power.

The court's already said, Supreme Court already said, hey, you got broad authority. It's right there in the law. What do you think? Let me know. Gutters and covers, covers and gutters.

You know, Chuck from Wolf Creek, when I was talking about with Marla Estes yesterday about finding common ground, I was joking, well, how about we just talk about, you know, grandkids and our dogs or animals, you know, that sort of thing. Chuck says, well, I agree, using cats is a great way to

gain common ground. How can you consider a foul, disgusting animals such as a dog for creating a same conversation? Obviously, once you keep it to Cat's a far superior beast. Chuck, I appreciate your email. Mike writes, women's sports. I can't even imagine this is a subject of debate, much less before the Supreme Court.

I hear people argue that unfair physical advantage men have over women. What about fraud? I don't hear any arguments about falsifying identification. Isn't that fraud? Isn't that illegal? Like I said earlier, I can't believe this is even a subject of debate. Thank you very much. David says, hey, Bill, Scotis has this session just guaranteed the destruction of the United States as we knew it.

May God have nursing upon us, but then you have to ask, why would he? He doesn't seem to care about him. Dave writes, birthright. If a citizen is born in the U.S., but parents take you home to their country, like, say, China, they are a birthright citizen if they work in China. Do they pay income taxes to the U.S. Treasury? Can they be drafted in critical need wars? Can they seize you any time, anywhere to constrict like Ukraine is doing? I'm not exactly sure about that.

Technically, a birthright citizen in China would be paying taxes to the United States Treasury. Bonnie says, hey, Bill, okay, fine. Pregnant women, especially from the historically problematic countries, will no longer be allowed across the border. They should probably stay home and rest anyway. Thank you. And Dale says, Supreme's ruling, Bill, I feel I must point out that the ruling by the Supremes about birthright citizenship is not, as the media seems to put it made against President Trump. but really against legal citizens in this country. The judges in the dims don't seem to be able to read the words and interpret them correctly or don't want to.

I'm also wondering if the Federal Reserve is constitutional as Congress was given the right to establish monetary values in this country, not some appointed board of whomevers. Point well taken. Email bill of Billmyershow.com. 857. Let me go to the phones here for a little bit longer. Hi, who's this? Morning.

Welcome. This is Gina. I'd like to read to you what Thomas Jefferson said about immigrants. Okay, go right ahead. We've got about a minute. Can you make the point? Many will come to the United States as refugees escaping from tyranny, but tyranny will have shaped the ideas about politics. They are unlikely to have learned either how to live peaceably respecting the rights of others or how to be vigilant in the assertion in the defense of their own rights. They are unlikely to even have a clear idea about the meaning and content of rights. Admitting persons who are not prepared because this is a fundamental problem for the American experiment.

they will bring with them principles of governments they leave behind, imbibed as their near use, or if able to throw them off, it will be an exchange. Now, here comes the kicker for an unbounded licentiousness, passing as is usual from one extreme to another. It would be a miracle if they were to be able to stop precisely at that point of temperate liberty. Having no experience or understanding of liberty, it will be difficult for immigrants to conduct themselves in a manner of befitting free citizens of a republic. Yes. and that's also like saying just because you drop onto the land does not make you a citizen.

Thank you, Gino.
