Biggs joins Charlie to discuss Trump's endorsement, the big beautiful bill, and more. Then, Hillsdale's Dr. Thomas West talks abut the Founders' vision for birthright citizenship, before that vision was distorted by centuries of progressive activism and lies.

Chapter 2: What challenges does Arizona face under the current leadership?
way to it yeah that's lesser appreciated yeah but that all adds up going to all those counties add up yeah i mean the people are great they've been incredibly supportive gracious and welcoming and they all want this state to succeed too i mean so we've got you've got the mineral counties you got places that we should be doing mining yes and and there's so much potential in the state by the way this is a we need more desal plants we need
to build more, maybe even another nuclear plant. But the AI revolution could be powered here in Arizona, the intellectual capital of this state. And you represent the East Valley, like Chandler, Gilbert, Mesa, Queen Creek. Is that right?
That's right. Santan Valley. Yeah.
And so there is so much the the the the best of America lives in the East Valley of Phoenix. I believe that it's a it's a family state. Talk about that. This is one of the most family friendly states in the country. We want to make it even more so.
Yeah. I mean, so so everything from educational choice to support parents and as they raise their children, you want to have good, solid communities. And we have we have some places that have fallen in hard times because I think because bad leadership, either on the local level or at the state level from our governor.
But you want to make sure that they're safe and can get out and have fun and play and grow as families. But you also want to make sure that their jobs are there. And Arizona could grow. I mean, when you start talking about it, I've talked with the head of the folks at TSMC when I went to Taiwan, met with those folks. There is so much we can do there, Charlie, and you're right.
If we make sure our power grid is strong, provides reliable and dispersible energy, we're going to be able to welcome in the data centers. And AI data, that's going to provide incredible jobs. We have the employee infrastructure here. When you start telling them that we have over 30,000 engineering students at ASU, you talk to these businesses, they're like, really? I had no idea.
So we can get on this bus and build this state and provide these great jobs and then protect, you know, you've got to protect the water and the range management that we have to deal. So forest has got to be taken care of.
This is a biodiverse state that people don't recognize. You go 90 miles north of here to Payson, you think you're in Colorado. Right. I mean, you have incredible forest. You have the Grand Canyon. Right. We have unbelief. We have I think we have four national parks in the state. We have down south and in Tucson. We have we have incredible beauty in the state. I love it. It's home.

Chapter 3: What is the significance of Trump's endorsement?
Inform our audience about your scholarship and the work that you do at Hillsdale College and primarily the work you've done on online courses to try to educate the masses on the founder's view of natural rights and the structure of the U.S. Constitution?
Yes, we've done a whole series of video courses at the college here. I've been involved in a few of them. I highly recommend those courses for people who are interested in this question. My take on the founding, I think I would say... is not only a response to the leftist critique that the founders didn't really believe in equality. We hear a lot about that.
And I'm almost a little bit tired of that debate. It's so obvious that they did care. But the other more interesting debate is a critique coming from the right. The founders are too interested in liberty and equality and therefore prepare the way for what we have now in 20th, 21st century liberalism. That's what my focus has been on and what I've been trying to show is that's not true.
The founders themselves were much more conservative than almost anybody today who goes under the name of conservative.
I'm going to keep you for another segment, Dr. West. That is so interesting to me. I'm going to keep that for another segment because I'm so glad you said it that way. That was one of the great insights I've got gathered from your work, because I'm told by professors and from activists on campuses, not Hillsdale, the founders were a bunch of liberals.
They were small L liberals that were simply enlightenment. But your scholarship shows, no, actually, they were far more conservative than you would ever give them credit for. Dr. West, please tell us more.
about the founders because i am told that they were liberals the the the common view on these campuses that they were they were trying to change the structure of british governance and the declaration was fundamentally a small l liberal statement what is your contention and what would you like to share with the audience i i think the this the mistake that's that a lot of conservatives make
is they hear the words equality and liberty and they just assume they have the same idea about that that people today do when they have transformed those terms into something very different from the founding. You can just take the case of immigration itself, for example. For the founders, the character of the people was fundamental to the future of a free country.
They didn't believe in anything goes. They believed you had to have a people that had enough character, enough self-restraint, but also self-assertion, like courage, virtues like courage, vigilance, forthrightness. They thought only that kind of a people would be able to maintain a free country.
