00:00And that's why my president, President Donald Trump, stood up and said publicly before the
00:09world that the 14th Amendment belongs to the children of slaves.
00:20So understand that we were citizens based on the Civil Rights Act of 1866, not based
00:28on the 14th Amendment.
00:30The 14th Amendment constitutionalized our citizenship.
00:36You understand?
00:37So when an immigrant comes and say that they have birthright citizenship based on the 14th
00:45Amendment, they don't know the history of how that 14th Amendment came about.
00:49So they can't just go and jump on and say, oh, I'm born here, so this makes me a citizen.
00:55But that's what's been going on.
00:57That's what's been going on illegally.
00:59And that's why my president, President Donald Trump, stood up and said publicly before the
01:07world that the 14th Amendment belongs to the children of slaves.
01:15The so-called racist president, no other president in the history of this country since it's
01:24been created, since the Civil Rights Act of 1866, no other president has stood up and
01:30said that, yo, former slaves, American freedmen, you guys who have been given the worst of
01:38everything, the worst neighborhoods, the worst education, the worst health care, you have
01:45this for yourself for equal protection, because the 14th Amendment gives us equal protection
01:51under the law.
01:52So if there's a 100% fully functional white school, we've got to have the same thing for
02:02the American freedmen.
