'Aftyn Behn wants one thing'

Supposedly, a major announcement is coming. We are still waiting.

Senator Bernie Moreno argues that dual citizenship national loyalty cannot coexist and says Americans must choose one country and one allegiance.

WATCH THE CLIP BELOW:

This clip aired on WarRoom’s morning show on December 2, 2025. Transcript begins below (lightly edited for clarity; may contain minor errors).

 

SENATOR BERNIE MORENO (GUEST): Steve, thank you for having me. It is very, very straightforward. You are either an American citizen or you are a citizen of another country. You can’t have dual alliances. You can’t have dual allegiances. We pledge allegiance to the flag every day, every morning in the United States Senate. It is crystal clear. I think most Americans are surprised to learn that you can even have dual citizenship.

When I became a United States citizen, Steve, by the way, one of the greatest honors and privilege of my life, I swore allegiance to the United States of America and not to the country where I was born. It is pretty straightforward. It is common sense. It should have been done a long time ago.

STEVE BANNON (HOST): Are you getting anybody signing up as a co sponsor? Are you getting blowback, sir?

SENATOR BERNIE MORENO (GUEST): Well, we are getting blowback from the open border globalist Democrats, who are basically all of them. We are going to work to get some Republican support. I plan to put it directly on the Senate floor in a process called a live UC, which means I can go right on the floor and unless somebody objects to the bill, it passes. I have got people in the House reaching out to me, Republicans of course, that want to have a companion bill so we can get this thing into law.

STEVE BANNON (HOST): Would this just be going forward, or is the intent in the language, if people have dual citizenship today, will they have X amount of time to think it through and make a decision, or is it just folks going forward?

SENATOR BERNIE MORENO (GUEST): No, it is everybody, and they have one year to make a decision. You are either an American citizen or you are a citizen of another country. You cannot have dual allegiances. It is not possible. And again, Steve, this is a privilege. It is the greatest honor to be a citizen of the greatest country on earth. You have to pick a team. And of course, it is easy to pick the American team.

And by the way, Steve, something that has not really been talked about, a lot of the hostages that we have to deal with around the globe are dual citizens. That is a problem for foreign policy. The Supreme Court made a bad decision in 1967. I think when our bill gets through, I think the Supreme Court will reverse that decision and restore the Nationality Act, which had been the law of the land for a long time here in this country.

STEVE BANNON (HOST): Are you prepared? They are going to call you a nativist. They are going to call you a racist. They are going to call you a xenophobe, all of that. Are you prepared for that, Senator?

SENATOR BERNIE MORENO (GUEST): Well, Steve, look, I was born in Colombia, South America. I am actually Hispanic. But again, I made a conscious decision at the first opportunity I could, when I turned eighteen years old, to become a United States citizen. This country welcomed me. It is an honor and a privilege to be a member of this elite group called American citizens.

And this idea that we have destroyed that by bringing in tens of millions of people who broke into our country illegally. We reward them, Steve. Let me just be clear. We reward them with all kinds of social benefits that are supposed to be just for American citizens.

They can call me whatever the heck they want. I have been called much worse by better people. And at the end of the day, this is about doing the right thing for the American public, restoring the dignity and privilege and honor of being an American citizen.

STEVE BANNON (HOST): You know, Senator, I was talking about how Andy Surabian, your team is the best around, I think. I was talking to guys the other day when I saw this. We have followed you for years. You have been on the show for years. First time you ran, then coming back, winning that tough primary, then winning the tough general. And I said, Bernie Moreno is becoming one of the biggest pipe hitters in the United States Senate. How did that happen? You come across such a mild mannered guy, but you have really become a fire breather. What happened?

SENATOR BERNIE MORENO (GUEST): Well, Steve, look. The systematic destruction of this country is what has gotten a lot of us into politics, yourself, President Trump, JD Vance. We watch the other side of the aisle, and by the way, with the cooperation of some Republicans, let me just be clear about that, systematically erode this country. We are just not going to put up with it anymore. And I think it is extremely important to have moral clarity on these issues.

These are not ambiguous things. Either you believe in the principles of this country or you do not. The gray area is what has sucked the life out of this country. And we have to be strong. We have to be clear.

STEVE BANNON (HOST): Senator, I want people to find out everything about this bill, but also you, your social media, the website. Where do they go?

SENATOR BERNIE MORENO (GUEST): They can follow me on X at Bernie Moreno. We are very clear on what we believe in, and what we believe in is the foundational principles of America. Your listeners should know this. Our founders were citizens of another country, because the United States did not exist. There was not one that kept their citizenship, including Alexander Hamilton, who was born in the Caribbean.

They all honored and respected what they had done. Let us respect our founders. Let us respect the principles that built this great nation and restore it to the heights that it belongs. Only people that are invited into this country come here. They have to assimilate. They have to learn our language. We introduced a bill to make English our official language. No dual citizenship. Let us restore the greatness of this country by restoring the greatness of what it means to be an American.

STEVE BANNON (HOST): Senator, honored to have you on here and honored to be able to break this, the story about what you are doing, and get everybody to go see it. It is fantastic. Great work, sir.

SENATOR BERNIE MORENO (GUEST): Thank you, Steve, and thank you for keeping the fight on.

A large majority of Americans no longer think it’s affordable to raise children. According to data from the 2025 American Family Survey, 71% of participants said it’s not affordable for most people to raise children. This is a 13-percentage point increase from 2024 and a 20-percentage point increase from 2015.

Along similar lines, the most common barrier to having children cited by the survey’s participants was insufficient money (43% chose this as at least one of the barriers among a list of options presented). Adults ages 18 to 29 and those ages 30 to 44 were most likely to cite this as a reason for limiting the number of children they have or plan to have.  

It’s not surprising Americans’ concerns about the costs of raising children have climbed recently. Inflation has been at historic highs for several years now, and despite declining from its peak in 2022 inflation remains well above pre-pandemic levels. And housing prices are off the charts, hitting an all-time high in 2023 and not declining much since then.   

On a more upbeat note, perspectives about the cost of raising a family were more positive when American Family Survey participants were asked specifically about their own family situation, compared to perceptions about families in general. While 49% of respondents said the cost associated with raising a family ranked in the top three concerns for families in general, only 25% said it ranked as a top three concern for their own family. Although 25% is still a significant share of people, survey participants seemed to have a more negative view of family affordability conceptually than what is happening on the ground for them.  

It’s also notable that while people commonly cite affordability as a barrier to having children—and not only in the American Family Survey—U.S. birth rates were declining even before inflation and housing prices were soaring. Even in strong economic times during the last decade, birth rates continued to fall.

The American Family Survey also shows that the share of people reporting that not having enough money was a reason for limiting the number of children they have or plan to have doesn’t vary much across income levels. Forty-seven percent of people with incomes under $40,000 cited insufficient funds as a barrier to having children, not much different from the 43% of participants with $40,000 to $80,000 and the 42% with incomes above $80,000 per year that said the same thing.  

Median household income in the United States has increased steadily for several decades as well, even in the last few years, despite dropping some during the pandemic. Median incomes among men ages 25-29 and ages 30-35 specifically (since men are most likely to be the primary breadwinner in the home) have also trended upward in the last few years.

So, while high housing costs and inflation could explain recent declines in births, they probably aren’t a particularly good explanation for the longer-term trends of declining birth rates.  

Other factors besides hard numbers are likely driving concerns about the costs associated with raising children though. Expectations about what is required to raise a child have increased over time. Parents feel more pressure to invest greater time and resources into their children than past generations of parents did.

Another factor is that opportunity costs associated with having children have also grown. During the past several decades educational and career opportunities have increased, particularly for women. And the greater economic well-being the country has experienced over time increases the freedom people have to do things like travel, pursue personal goals, and invest in self-improvement.

While the economy is certainly part of the story when it comes to adults feeling concerned about raising children, it will likely require more than just economic reforms to change perspectives and behaviors surrounding family formation. Cultural norms and infrastructures that make it easier to raise children will likely also be necessary.

For example, workplace norms that support employees in being able to spend time with their families, more realistic material expectations about what is needed to start and raise a family, laws and cultural norms that give parents more freedom in how they raise their children (e.g., Free-Range Kids laws), educational choice options for families, and communities that provide places for families to gather easily and affordably are also necessary components.

The last few years especially have increased economic pressure on families. Smart economic policies that drive down pressure on the housing market and help reduce inflation are crucial for families. Such economic reforms must be coupled with cultural reforms though if we hope to see change in perspectives and behaviors surrounding bearing and raising children.
