I don't know about you, but I like keeping my money where I can see it.

Unfortunately, traditional big wireless carriers also seem to like keeping my money too. After years of overpaying for wireless, I'm fed up with crazy high wireless bills, bogus fees, and quote-unquote free perks that actually cost more in the long run. Mint Mobile, on the other hand, only cost $15 a month, significantly less than all the major carriers.

So stop overpaying for wireless just because that's how you've always done it.

Mint Mobile is here to rescue you with premium wireless plans starting at 15 bucks a month, all the plans come with high speed data and unlimited talk and text, delivered on the nation's largest 5G network. You can bring your own phone and your old number, activate with eSIM in minutes, and start saving immediately. No long-term contracts, no hassle. If any of my friends are switching, if I'm switching carriers, there's only one option I'm recommending,

there's only one option I'm considering, and it's Mint Mobile. So if you like your money, Mint Mobile is for you. Shop plans at MintMobile.com/54. That's MintMobile.com/54. That's 54 all spelled out. There is an up front payment of $45 for three month five gigabyte plan required, the equivalent to $15 a month. New customer offer for

first three months only, then full price plan options available. Taxes and fees extra,

see MintMobile for details. Hey everyone, this is Leon from Prologue Projects. On this subscriber only episode of 5-4, Peter and Reannon are talking about

birthright citizenship. On his very first day of his second term in office,

President Trump signed an executive order to end birthright citizenship in the United States, contributing to 14th Amendment and more than a century of jurisprudence. This next order relates to the definition of birthright citizenship under the 14th Amendment of the United States. Yeah, that's a good one. Birthright. That's a big one. The ACLU, along with several other groups and states, challenge the executive order

almost immediately, and just a few weeks ago on a first, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in the case. Because the host's feel pretty good about the leg of the outcome here, they figured it was worth talking through the administration's arguments, and how the justice is responded. This is 5-4, a podcast about how much the Supreme Court sucks, even if they do seem poised again this one right.

Welcome to 5-4, where we dissect and analyze the Supreme Court cases that have you surped our civil rights like Donald Trump is trying to use surf the papacy. I'm Peter and I'm here with Rianna. Hey, everybody, the Pope, not tough on crime, bad on foreign policy.

It's going to stick in my head for so long. I was just telling you, like, in his first term,

it's that image of him looking at the eclipse directly. Now, maybe this time, it's the Pope is not tough on crime. Right, the Pope is not tough on crime is a sentence for the ages. Yeah, I don't even have the words for it. Yeah. Right. Right. The Pope is not tough on crime. The Pope is bad on foreign policy, not 48 hours later, posting a photo of himself as Jesus. As Christ. He thinks, and then no, I thought it was a doctor in that. It's Looney Tunes.

It's Looney Tunesville over there. Five stars on the comedy, though. It's so good. I'm ready for a 13,000 word piece about the Pope is not tough on crime. I can't wait. Michael out this week, just the girls. Just the ladies hanging out on a five to four before we

get going. You have to regale everyone with with your harrowing tail of bravery. Yeah,

bravery involving reptiles specifically snakes. This is a saga that I believe I'm 48 hours out of

an eye feel my cortisol and adrenaline only just now regulating. So basically, I had a weekend,

a Sunday and a Monday, chock full of venomous coral snakes at my house. So Sunday after noon, my partner saw a snake kind of like in between the the exterior sighting of my house and the concrete underneath in like a kind of two inch space out of the corner of his eye sees bright red, right, scales and he takes a photo. He comes inside. He shows me the picture and I say, hold up a minute. I don't know if other public school kids learned this across the country,

but I certainly did in public school in Texas. There's a handy rhyme. Red touches yellow, kills a fellow. Red touches black. You're okay, Jack. I look at this picture of this snake. And what colors do we have touching but red and yellow? I say, this is a fucking venomous snake

Outside my house.

administration in the city of Austin. I call animal control. I say, there's a venomous snake

outside my house. Please come. They say, we don't deal with wild animals. I said, you only deal

with pets. Yeah, that's just like if your cat's being a bad boy. Right. I said, Petra is sitting on

her ass right here. I don't need you for Petra. We don't deal with wild animals. Yeah, Petra and I

have beef. Obviously, she wants to kill me, but that's between me and her. You should have been like,

yeah, no, it's my snake. Hey, folks, if you want to hear the rest of this episode, you're going to
