Project 2035 doesn't make the connection I just made.
I think to understand the reason why I make the connection, A, you know, it's the area of law I practice in, so that, you know, is a focal point.
Yeah, but the second is, though, Jesse, I was very deeply involved at the time in, you know, fighting against the birther lies that Donald Trump was telling.
And again, Donald Trump has never, Donald Trump's entire political career was based on the idea that birth certificates don't actually prove citizenship.
It was aimed at Barack Obama, but that is where you wind up with the justices hearing this birthright citizenship case.
It is where you wind up with the SAVE Act, proof of citizenship requirements, and the limited number of ways to prove citizenship.
And it is where, to go back to the executive order and the lawsuit that we have filed, it is why the idea that Donald Trump has landed on
as the key central tenant of this voter suppression plan, is that the Department of Homeland Security will compile a list of who they believe are eligible U.S.
citizens to vote.
Like, maybe you could ask some of your conservative friends on The Five.
I am old enough to remember when it was conservatives who said they do not want the federal government compiling a list, a master list,
of all the citizens in the United States and giving the federal government that power.
Well, that's what Donald Trump wants to do.
And he wants to be able to do it because he wants to be able to call balls and strikes, not just between people who have birth certificates and don't, but within the category of people who do have birth certificates.
He wants to be able to say these ones I don't trust, these ones I don't believe.
I think the state of New York is run by communists.
So, you know, none of the none of the birth certificates under Mayor Mondami's administration that are issued by the city of New York will count.
Right.
Like this is what he did with Hawaii.
And I'm telling you, it's what we're going to get here.
