Rep. Andy Ogles on the Birthright Citizenship Ruling and the Anchors Away Bill

At 1:07:50 · chapter starts 1:00:40

Rep. Andy Ogles opens by reacting to an ICE confrontation — a man who rammed ICE vehicles rather than submit to arrest — as a symbol of the broader immigration dysfunction. He then addresses the Supreme Court's birthright citizenship ruling directly, calling it a serious error. Ogles argues Congress has spent decades abdicating its legislative responsibility, kicking these questions to the Supreme Court rather than writing clear law. His proposed remedy is the Anchors Away bill, which would redefine 'alien' under federal statute so that pregnant non-citizens and non-green-card-holders cannot give birth on US soil to confer automatic citizenship. His legal foundation is Jacob Howard's own Senate testimony from 1866, which explicitly stated the 14th Amendment 'will not, of course, include persons born in the United States who are foreigners or aliens'. Ogles also previews his companion Assimilation Act and Remigration Act, the latter of which would allow denaturalization of people who lied on their N-400 citizenship applications. The segment includes a lighthearted digression: what happens if a non-citizen gives birth on a plane over US airspace?

Rep. Ogles' 'Anchors Away' Bill: Redefining Alien to End Birth Tourism

The Preliminary Hearing Plan + DSA’s Democrat Takeover · Jul 2, 2026 Government

Rep. Andy Ogles' Anchors Away bill would redefine 'alien' legislatively, so that pregnant non-citizens and non-green-card-holders cannot use US soil to confer citizenship on their children. Ogles cites the original author of the 14th Amendment, Jacob Howard, who explicitly said it would not cover foreigners — Congress just failed to codify that intent.

A Million Chinese Children — Born American, Raised Communist

The Preliminary Hearing Plan + DSA’s Democrat Takeover · Jul 2, 2026 Government

Approximately one million children of Chinese nationals have been born on US soil — mostly in places like Guam and Los Angeles — and are being raised in China. Rep. Ogles, as chair of the Cyber Infrastructure Protection subcommittee, says classified briefings confirm China, China, China as the top threat. Every one of those children is constitutionally eligible to run for the US presidency.

The AI Race to Govern Itself: Multi-Stakeholder or Bust

Fei-Fei Li went back to Stanford from Google in 2018 specifically to build a multi-stakeholder governance framework for AI. Her argument: market forces are not societal norms. Just as biology uses IRBs and cars have safety laws, AI needs layered oversight from educators, governments, and the public — not just a few industry titans.

Surveillance vs. Privacy: The Fulcrum We Need to Find

The Surveillance Economy, and How Capitalism Can Fix Poverty · Aug 10, 2026 Government

Mass surveillance is here to stay. The real battle isn't stopping cameras — it's ensuring judges and laws keep that data out of family court and civil disputes, admitting it only for violent crimes and national security. The surveillance economy currently yields more upside than downside, but only if we build the legal guardrails now.

Northern Europe Isn't Socialist — It's Capitalism Done Right

The Surveillance Economy, and How Capitalism Can Fix Poverty · Aug 10, 2026 Government

When people cite Scandinavia as proof socialism works, Galloway says they've got it backwards. Northern Europe runs highly competitive free-market economies with more competition in many sectors than the US — they just make sure taxes are actually paid and redistributed. Billionaires and universal healthcare can coexist.

How to Fix the UK in Four Moves

“We’re At The Beginning Of A Revolution” - Jimmy Carr - #11… · Aug 10, 2026 Government

Two percent adjustments to income tax and stamp duty tweaks are deck-chair rearrangements. The UK's competitiveness hinges on four structural levers: currency valuation, energy costs, regulatory burden, and tax rates. Devalue the pound, build 56 nuclear plants, slash red tape, introduce a flat tax — and the country transforms.

Lisbon Solved Its Drug Crisis — Then Forgot Why

“We’re At The Beginning Of A Revolution” - Jimmy Carr - #11… · Aug 10, 2026 Government

Lisbon had one of Europe's worst heroin crises. Then Portugal legalised drugs and redirected all enforcement money into rehabilitation and housing. Crime collapsed. Addiction fell. Then politics moved the money elsewhere, and the problem started creeping back. Chesterton's Fence: you forget why you were spending that money.
