Vice President JD Vance gave a speech at the Claremont Institute challenging the modern notion that America is merely an “idea.” If the Declaration of Independence defines American identity, why does it include billions who aren’t citizens and exclude actual patriots whose ancestors built this country? Glenn Ellmers joins us to unpack Vance’s speech, reclaim the true meaning of equality and consent, and explain how the founders' vision is the strongest weapon we have against open borders, woke bureaucracy, and the administrative state. From social compact theory to sovereignty and self-rule, what does it really mean to be American, and why does the Left want to rewrite that definition?
