One fellow in the SLC area described Skousen as a controversial figure, with many admirers, and many vicious detractors. As Churchill said, that means one has taken a stand.
Yeah. Not sure why Beck doesn’t espouse this. I guess because it doesn’t fit the narrative.

The Making of America by Skousen, author of The 5000 Year Leap
p. 528
“To be a candidate for President of the United States, a person must be a natural-born citizen, or a citizen at the time of the adoption of the Constitution.
This provision gave the American people the RIGHT to have a President who would always be one of their own native-born fellow citizens.
A temporary exception was made for a number of the most valiant patriots. It will be appreciated that there were many persons of foreign birth who helped to create the United States, and these would have been rendered ineligible for the office of President had this provision had not been inserted in the Constitution. Seven of the signers of the Constitution were foreign born: James Wilson, Robert Morris and Thomas Fitzsimons of Pennsylvania; Alexander Hamilton of New York; William Paterson of New Jersey; James McHenry of Maryland; and Pierce Butler of South Carolina.”
