IC–031 | Texan Secessionists Should Be Sent to Re-Education Camps Transcript. Timestamps are stored-video seconds. [0:00] the throats of desperate child migrants with concertina wire before they bleed out into [0:05] the Rio Grande. That's like when when tech crews is talking about like come and take it [0:10] brother and they put the concertina wire on that fucking on that flag. He's saying like [0:15] no, like we are our new states rights. Like we will succeed because we want to put [0:22] concertina wire and booby traps on the Rio Grande so that incoming migrants that are like [0:26] seeking asylum legally. We'll fucking die. We want to booby trap and kill children. Have [0:34] them wash away in the Rio Grande insane stuff. On an even smaller level, some Americans [0:39] have simply proclaimed their property to be an independent micro nation. For example, [0:43] in 1998, Kevin Baugh declared his 11.3 acre property in the Nevada desert to be the [0:48] Republic of Malaysia. And since 1998, President Baugh has ruled his micro nation as a benevolent [0:54] dictator. I am president Kevin Baugh of the Republic of Malaysia, a tiny self-declared [1:00] country within dog. This is so this is like libertarianism as an infantile disorder, but [1:07] like at the maximum level. Okay. This is when you become like the most libertarian. Oh, [1:15] it's so sick. Nevada. That's within the United States. We have everything that a nation [1:21] should have bank stamps and the host office. To date, no country has recognized the legitimacy [1:28] of this micro nation whose currency is tied to the price of cookie dough. Now, obviously [1:32] if you're going to try and secede from the union, you're going to need a good lawyer. [1:36] But if you want a great lawyer, my firm, this is not even a libertarian. Dude, he's dressed [1:39] as Pinotje. Excuse me. What do you think Pinotje? What do you think Pinotje was? Pinotje [1:48] is the ultimate libertarian. He is the fucking godfather of neoliberalism and action, forcible [1:56] implementation of neoliberalism upon a upon an entire unsuspecting population after [2:02] military coup is literally the most. Yeah, he's authoritarian capitalist. The Eagle team [2:10] can help.

So let's jump right [2:32] into it. Does the Constitution provide a right to unilaterally secede from the union? [2:37] Well, to give everyone's favorite answer, it depends. No, actually, no. States and localities [2:42] have zero constitutional right to declare themselves independent and break away from [2:45] the United States. Any votes to secede unilaterally is just political virtue signaling and with zero [2:52] legal effect. And yet the quote, constitutional right to secede is a myth that refuses to die. [2:57] But for really interesting reasons, no state has bought into this mythical right to secede [3:02] more than the lone star state. In fact, Texans love to repeat the legend that Texas, as [3:06] a condition to joining the US, negotiated an annexation treaty, which grants them the [3:11] unique right to unilaterally secede from the union and once again become the Republic [3:14] of Texas. But you might be surprised to learn that the terms of the Texas annexation contain [3:19] no such provision. But Texas won't be cowed by your big city fact-checking in literacy. [3:26] As a result, these states conservative leaders, damn, dude. He's hammering. What the fuck? [3:33] This is the most legal, this is the most legal is like straight ripped into a fucking American [3:40] state, okay? Here's continued to falsely proclaim a right to secede. In June of 2022, Texas [3:48] Republicans were once again whistling dixies by adding to its party platform that Texas [3:52] retains the right to secede from the United States, declaring a right to nullify the federal [3:55] laws they don't like under the 10th amendment and urging the Texas legislature to pass a [4:00] referendum to determine whether or not the state of Texas should reassert its status as [4:05] an independent nation. And in March of 2023, Texas state representative Brian Slayton [4:09] introduced a bill to put said referendum on the November 2023 ballot. And just in time [4:14] for the 2024 election, the Texas Supreme Court declined to take up a case from a conservative [4:19] group that wanted to add Texas secession to this year's presidential primary ballot. [4:23] But that raises the question, on what legal grounds do some Texans claim the state has [4:27] a right to secede? Well, according to Daniel Miller, the president of the pro secession [4:31] Texas nationalist movement, Texas. Yeah, you're right. That's true. The Republicans claim to be [4:45] most unamerican thing you can do constantly constantly claiming that you want to secede from the United [4:51] States of America is the least patriotic thing on the planet. Okay. If the American federal [5:01] government had a fraction of the fucking balls that we believe it has, you would be turning [5:06] shinjon into you would be turning Texas into shinjon. Okay. Constant around the clock surveillance [5:13] on every separation is Texan. Okay. Literally one party loyalist member per family. I'm talking [5:20] we are sending Will Stansel into the homes of every suburban fascist. Okay. Any kind of small [5:28] business tyrant is going to get a democratic party loyalist to sit in their homes. Okay. [5:34] Bup, Bup, Bup. Are you talking about secession? Guess what, dude? Oh, you want us to see? How [5:40] about you see the inside of this reeducation camp? Boom. Rip its guts out. Re fucking build [5:51] it as a, as a goddamn amusement park for everyone else to come and enjoy the beautiful [5:56] culture of Texas. That's what I'm advocating for. Okay. Think about that. Reeducation [6:08] camp for all the hogs in Texas that want to secede. No more separation as bullshit. Okay. [6:14] This has an implied right to secede because the Constitution doesn't say it can't article [6:26] one section 10 of the U.S. Constitution lists everything states are forbidden from doing. Yes, [6:31] what's not in there with drawing. In addition, Miller claims the 10th amendment which says [6:35] that the federal government only has power spelled out in the Constitution or not delegated [6:40] by the states means that states can choose to leave. Now, this argument isn't completely [6:44] insane. There is a canon of construction that allows you to interpret contracts or statutes [6:49] by what is included. Specifically, it's based on the Latin phrase is used in generous, [6:54] which means the company keeps. If you create a list of things and something is not included [7:00] in that list, then you can assume that it was not meant to be included in that list. [7:04] That being said, the argument is also similar to the one used in the movie. This chatter [7:08] is right, dude. It's the airbud defense. Nothing in the rule book that says a dog can't play [7:14] basketball. Oh, he's saying it literally. Oh, no, airbud. Basically, there's nothing [7:23] in the Constitution that says you can't secede from the United States or that a dog can't [7:27] play basketball. Oh my god. Anything in there says a dog can't play. It's right. Ain't [7:32] no rules to the dog can't play basketball. So I wouldn't necessarily hang my hat on [7:36] that argument. Most likely, airbud would be able to secede before Texas, especially because [7:41] legal scholars and constitutional experts seem to overwhelmingly agree that the US Constitution [7:46] does not allow for succession. For example, Stanford, Levison, who is a law professor at [7:50] University of Texas, Austin said the quote, almost no lawyer would take that argument [7:54] seriously. I do believe it is viewed as a closed question and courts that have weighed [7:59] in on the issues of succession have always. Yeah, because all lawyers are lib tards, brother, [8:04] what do you mean? What's the highest likelihood that you will become a liberal education? [8:11] In order to become a lawyer, I'm pretty sure you need to go to get undergraduate degree [8:15] at homosexual Marxist University. Okay. And then on top of that, you gotta go to law [8:22] school. That's two different schools. Think about it, jot them down. In 2010, Alaska Supreme [8:30] Court ruled that secession was illegal, and thus an initiative putting the question to [8:34] a vote could not be placed on the ballot. So any effort to put a matter on the ballot [8:39] in Texas would likely not be constitutional, either. Even the late Supreme Court Justice [8:43] Antonin Scalia, who followed a strict form of constitutional interpretation, dubbed [8:47] originalism, said that there's no legal basis for secession. And we learn Scalia's views [8:51] on this matter in a quite unusual way. Back in 2006, legally minded screenwriter Daniel [8:56] Turquoise wrote a letter to all nine Supreme Court justices for advice on a farcical script [9:01] he was writing in which Maine sices from the U.S. and joins Canada leading to a climactic [9:06] showdown at the Supreme Court. Scalia was the only justice to provide a substantive response [9:11] to turquoise, and the late justice was unequivocal. To begin with, the U.S. is a fairly strong [9:16] federation. Sessation is absolutely illegal and will be met with a full force of the American [9:21] military as we decided by USA versus CSA, 1861 1865 states cannot conduct or poll. States [9:31] cannot interfere in interstate commerce, while the EU is a pretty weak one. Yes. States [9:43] cannot states cannot secede. We will claw back at any given foreign policy. States cannot [9:52] secede. We will claw that back with actual force if necessary. Everybody has to see the [10:00] top of the R. A. break. Okay. Unless they're subscribed. There is no way you can bulkenize [10:05] the chat into people who are not subscribed and won't see the top of the R. A. break between [10:11] those who are subscribed and won't see the top of the R. A. break. It doesn't work that [10:16] way. God, that was rough. I'm sorry. I'm losing it. So fucking tired. Shut up. I know it sucked. [10:23] I know it sucked. I'm tired. Okay. I haven't been able to adjust to live in Lovita, Loka and [10:30] Los Angeles. Here's the 3 minute A. break. Regardless. Tomorrow, I'll be better. I promise. [10:38] Ali cat me out. They give it the five get this up. I was allowing five people to know [10:41] long. See the as the top of the hour with the answer to just the two hour difference. It's [10:44] not the time difference, man. It's not the time difference. It's that I didn't sleep [10:49] a lot when I was in Texas. And I like went to bed way, way, way, way later than I normally [10:55] would answer is clear. If there was any constitutional issue resolved by the Civil War, [11:03] it is that there is no right to secede. Hence, in the Pledge of Legends, one nation indivisible. [11:08] The Justice also explained why a succession case would never end up before the Supreme Court. [11:12] Quote, I find it difficult to envision who the parties
