And then, of course, once you meticulously assembled all the books documenting these historical examples and placed them in the Louvre, those books would promptly be stolen by a handful of burglars armed with power tools. Put another way: It’s the highest luxury for wealthy and prosperous civilizations to fight amongst themselves, right up until the moment they realize that, in reality, the barbarians aren’t simply at the gates anymore.

If you don’t see where I’m going with this, then that’s probably a good sign, if I’m being honest. There’s no reason to recap any of the infighting that’s occurring right now among the conservative movement. If you’re not aware of the extraordinary degree of internal squabbling on the Right, then that’s a point in your favor. It’s an indication that you don’t spend much of your time online, paying attention to the endless bickering on social media. But, suffice it to say, many conservatives are at each other’s throats at the moment. They’re certainly at my throat, from every angle, even though none of them can really explain what it is I’ve done or said that they find so objectionable. I also haven’t changed my goal, which is advancing the interests of this country and the Americans who live here.

This is the kind of threat that a serious country, and a serious political movement, would prioritize above any other. If foreigners who want to destroy the United States are able to seize control of our largest cities, then nothing else matters. Foreign policy doesn’t matter. Podcasts — even the most offensive and racist podcasts you can think of — don’t matter. The Constitution doesn’t matter. The Heritage Foundation doesn’t matter. Nothing matters at all because we’ve ceased to exist as a country. We have become Somalia or Uganda. We have lost everything, and we can never get it back.
No one needs me to outline the case against Omar Fateh, who’s probably going to be the next mayor of Minneapolis. And no one needs me to outline the case against Zohran Mamdani, who’s probably going to be the next mayor of New York. Nor does anyone — at least among my followers — need me to make the case against mass migration more broadly, or Somali immigration in particular, or anything like that. We’ve beaten that drum many, many times before. And we’ll keep beating it. But really, especially if you live in places like New York or Minneapolis, or any of the thousands of American suburbs that have become unrecognizable in the past 20 years, you don’t need to watch any of those monologues. You’ve already seen, firsthand, exactly what the problem is — and how it’s about to get much, much worse, unless we actually take some meaningful action.
[snip]
But before I do so, I need to preempt the objections that are going to sound something like this: “Well, the courts might strike this down,” or “Well, the Democrats might filibuster it.” Yes, it’s true that courts might strike these proposals down — just like they’ve struck down every single policy that the Trump administration has attempted to implement. And yes, Democrats might filibuster this legislation. But that doesn’t mean we’re out of options. We can eliminate the filibuster. We can appeal rulings by lower court judges and, if necessary, ignore them.
I don’t think that will be necessary, though, because the proposals I’m about to outline are indeed both constitutional and obviously necessary.
For my first proposal, by way of background, take a look at these recent appearances by Omar Fateh, the scam artist running for mayor of Minneapolis, who’s become known as the “Mamdani of the Midwest.”
[snip]
He’s waving the Somali flag. He’s speaking in a foreign language and pledging loyalty to Somalia. He’s talking about tipping off illegals in advance of ICE raids. He clearly understands that his constituency is Somalis like himself, not Americans. And he’s not ashamed of any of this because, as we’ve discussed before, Somalis are now a dominant voting bloc in Minneapolis, which is home to the largest Somali population in the entire country.
The solution is to ban politicians and candidates from holding rallies or creating advertisements in any language other than English. American voters should always know what their leaders are saying. This is fundamental. Any voter who can’t speak English shouldn’t be voting in the first place.

The principle is pretty clear: Speech becomes unlawful when — and only when — the government has a clear and unambiguous need to regulate that speech, in order for the country and its government to remain functional. And in the context of laws that require candidates to speak English, there’s precedent to back this up.
Consider the case of Alejandrina Cabrera, which you probably haven’t heard of. A little over a decade ago, she ran for city council in San Luis, Arizona. But there was a problem with her candidacy. The law in Arizona requires that elected officials have the capacity to speak English coherently.
This is from Time Magazine:
The Arizona Supreme Court ruled last week that Cabrera did not meet the state’s requirement that elected officials must be proficient in English. … Cabrera’s candidacy became an issue when the mayor, a political rival of hers, filed a lawsuit claiming her lack of English proficiency made her ineligible. Cabrera — an American citizen who spent some of her childhood in Mexico — knows some English. When she was questioned at trial, she was able to state her name and place of birth. But she could not answer a question about which high school she attended. … In much of the country, Cabrera would not have a problem: candidates do not have to prove that they know English. But Arizona enacted a law in 2006 that bars people who do not speak, write and read English from holding state or local offices.
Here’s more coverage from The New York Times:
When Alejandrina Cabrera speaks English, her face takes on an expression somewhere between deep discomfort and outright despair. Her tongue, which darts around her mouth in her native Spanish, slows to a crawl. … In his report, which was detailed in a court hearing on Wednesday, William G. Eggington, a professor of English and linguistics at Brigham Young University in Utah, said that based on interviews and tests he conducted with Mrs. Cabrera, she had “basic survival level” English that fell well below that needed to participate in city business. … “This is the law,” [the city attorney] said, arguing that the 1910 act granting Arizona statehood required officeholders to perform their duties in English without the aid of a translator. “It’s been on the books since statehood.”

While we’re at it, we should require an English language proficiency test for voters upon registration. Again, the principle is the same. If you can’t speak English, then you’re not an American. You’re not capable of interacting with Americans. You haven’t made even the slightest effort to assimilate into our country. If you’re allowed to vote, you’ll protect your own country’s interests, not America’s. And for that reason, there is a clear and compelling government interest in preventing you from voting — just like we prevent felons from voting.
Yes, in this country, it’s entirely possible for an American citizen to lose his right to vote by becoming a felon. Many states have laws like that on the books. But ask yourself this question: Who’s more dangerous in the voting booth? A Somali communist who can’t speak a word of English, who wants to drain every dollar from the U.S. treasury and send it back to Somalia, or a guy who hasn’t paid his taxes in 5 years? Who’s more dangerous in the voting booth? A Muslim socialist from Uganda who can’t speak a word of English, and who wants to dismantle the police force, or a guy who committed insurance fraud five years ago?
[snip]
From a First Amendment standpoint, this shouldn’t be controversial, either. As to the latter part, we already make elected officials take an oath of office. Many public servants in various fields have the same obligation. That’s because the Constitution explicitly states that officeholders “shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution.” All I’m proposing is that we move the oath forward a bit, to the candidate stage. Yes, the candidates could lie. But at least this country would be spared the indignity of watching Somali politicians telling us, to our faces, for months on end, that they don’t actually care about representing Americans. They’d have to pretend to care about this country. And for some of them — particularly the inbred ones — that might be too difficult to fake.
Additionally, as to the second proposal I just made, dual citizens are already subjected to dramatically increased scrutiny when they’re trying to obtain, say, a top-secret security clearance. There’s no reason we shouldn’t impose even more scrutiny when a dual citizen tries to run for office, given the obvious conflict of interest involved. Again, the precedent is there. We don’t even need to make an argument. We just need to pass a law, immediately.
[snip]
This is probably the “safest” proposal of all, from a constitutional perspective. Foreigners don’t have the right to enter this country. It’s a privilege. And we should obviously shut it down, immediately, if it’s turning into a burden for American taxpayers. Last week, we talked about how well over 50% of illegal aliens receive food stamps — many of them from countries like Somalia, Haiti, and Iraq. So, terminate all migration from these countries immediately. We’ll save a lot of money. And we won’t have Haitians winning the mayor’s race in Ohio any time soon. It’s a win-win.
It’s fine if you want to quibble with some of these proposals. Maybe you think some of them won’t work. These are just a few ideas, off the top of my head. The point is: This is the kind of thing we should be talking about every single day.
[snip]
Until anyone can explain that, it’s our responsibility to demand that Republicans answer this simple and fundamental question: What are you doing to ensure that some of the most important cities in this country are actually run by Americans, instead of foreign subversives like Zohran Mamdani and Omar Fateh? That’s the only question that matters. And before another conservative fires another volley at anyone else on the Right — before another major American city falls — someone in power needs to answer it, while our side still has power to wield.
