Trump could use fraud claims to denaturalize birthright citizenship cases via executive order
"The INA gives supreme authority to the, I believe, Secretary of State for denaturalizations and deportations. I would make the argument that the Trump administration should target particularly someone like Hasan Piker and say he may have been born here, but it was through fraudulent means. Trump could then just issue an executive order right now saying they will begin pursuit of fraud charges against people who are here, who are born here to unlawful parents because they are subject to the jurisdiction thereof."
About this episode
Tim Pool and guests Hank and others discuss escalating political tensions in the United States and United Kingdom while watching a US-Bosnia World Cup match. The episode opens with news of 29-year-old Democratic Socialist Millette Quiroz defeating 15-term Colorado congresswoman Diana DeGette in a Democratic primary, which Pool frames as evidence of a growing civil war within the Democratic Party. He warns that socialist insurgents view the Democratic Party merely as a vehicle for power and will eventually turn on establishment Democrats. The conversation shifts to a Wisconsin Democratic staffer calling for violence against Republicans, with Pool arguing this represents an escalation from earlier anti-Trump rhetoric to targeting all Republicans. Guest Hank reveals details about the UK's alleged Riku nudge unit, claiming it visits victims of migrant attacks to threaten them with jail if their statements could incite unrest, and has been caught engineering news coverage and propaganda events. The hosts discuss systematic indoctrination in American schools over multiple generations through Paulo Freire's Pedagogy of Education, which they argue has taught students to view society through a Marxist oppressor-oppressed framework. Pool proposes a legal strategy for Trump to denaturalize birthright citizens by arguing their citizenship was obtained fraudulently when parents were in the country unlawfully, specifically mentioning targeting Hasan Piker. Throughout, the hosts provide soccer commentary on the US-Bosnia match, discussing player strategies, the offside rule, and celebrating what they believe is a US goal before it's called back for offside.
