Speaker 1: It's perfect end to your day. Jesse Kelly on seven
Speaker 1: good Jesse Kelly shin let's have some fun on a Thursday.
Speaker 1: I am so unreasonably excited for tonight's shows, So allow
Speaker 1: me to prepare you with some programming notes for what
Speaker 1: you are in store for in that rhyme. And that
Speaker 1: was great. I didn't even do it on purpose. Don't
Speaker 1: shake your head, Chris. We are going to discuss Trump's
Speaker 1: comments today about deportations, about legal immigration versus illegal immigration,
Speaker 1: about allowing Chinese students to stay. We're gonna discuss those
Speaker 1: because you apparently have some problems with them, and I'm
Speaker 1: going to talk about that. Yes, I'm going to get
Speaker 1: to that. We're going to discuss other things. You see.
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about Republicans doing some campaigning from the
Speaker 1: House of Representatives, Democrats trying to thread the needle with
Speaker 1: Middle America, and the crazies. Another Democrat, a United States Senator,
Speaker 1: gets himself arrested. We'll talk about the performative nonsense that
Speaker 1: is the beating art of the Democrat Party. But I'm
Speaker 1: not even as excited about all that stuff as I
Speaker 1: am about hour two, because at the start of hour two.
Speaker 1: I've decided I'm done talking about riots for a night.
Speaker 1: We're doing some history. I don't know how long it
Speaker 1: will go. I truly doubt I will finish it in
Speaker 1: an hour. I'll try, but I don't know. We're gonna
Speaker 1: do some history tonight. Alexander the Great War. It's gonna
Speaker 1: be awesome. And tomorrow's ask doctor Jesse Friday. So get
Speaker 1: your questions emailed in right now to Jesse at Jesse
Speaker 1: kellyshow dot com. Okay, So a lot of people are
Speaker 1: angry at Donald Trump today. Who are those people? I mean,
Speaker 1: I have a bunch of emails, a lot of them
Speaker 1: like this the oracle. I saw Trump's post this morning
Speaker 1: regarding illegals working on farms and in hotels. It shows
Speaker 1: how much further we have to go. Any business owner
Speaker 1: knowingly employing illegals should be arrested for committing crimes against
Speaker 1: his countrymen. Now more than ever. I believe you when
Speaker 1: you say America will elect a right wing dictator. So, okay,
Speaker 1: in case you're wondering what he said, what Donald Trump
Speaker 1: said publicly, this is what he said. Quote our great farmers,
Speaker 1: in people in hotel, in the hotel and leisure business
Speaker 1: have been stating that our very aggressive policy on immigration
Speaker 1: is taking very good, longtime workers away from them, with
Speaker 1: those jobs being almost impossible to replace. In many cases,
Speaker 1: the criminals allowed into the country by the very stupid
Speaker 1: Biden open borders policy are applying for those jobs. This
Speaker 1: is not good. We must protect our farmers, but get
Speaker 1: the criminals out of the USA. Changes are coming, okay.
Speaker 1: He verbalized that at a press conference today. Here he
Speaker 1: was if you look to that.
Speaker 2: Put out a statement today about farmers. Our farmers are
Speaker 2: being hurt badly by you know, they have very good workers.
Speaker 2: They've worked for him for twenty years. They're not citizens,
Speaker 2: but they've turned out to be, you know, great, and
Speaker 2: we're gonna have to do something about that. We can't
Speaker 2: take farmers and take all their people and send them
Speaker 2: back because they don't have maybe what they're supposed to have,
Speaker 2: maybe not. And you know, what's going to happen, and
Speaker 2: what is happening They get rid of some of the
Speaker 2: people because you know, you go into a farm and
Speaker 2: you look and people don't They've been there for twenty
Speaker 2: twenty five years and they've worked great, and the owner
Speaker 2: of the farm loves them and everything else, and then
Speaker 2: you're supposed to throw them out, and you know what happens.
Speaker 2: They end up hiring the people, the criminals that have
Speaker 2: come in, the murderers from prisons and everything else. So
Speaker 2: we're we're gonna have an order on that pretty soon.
Speaker 2: I think we can't do that to a farmer's and
Speaker 2: leisure too hotels. We're gonna have to use a lot
Speaker 2: of common sense on that.
Speaker 1: Okay, that actually pairs well. Apparently it was one of
Speaker 1: those days with comments Trump made today about China. You
Speaker 1: remember this is probably last week. The week before, Marco
Speaker 1: Rubio and Trump were making a lot of noise about
Speaker 1: how we're getting rid of these Chinese student visas. Chinese
Speaker 1: students are going to have to go. They've got to go,
Speaker 1: We're done with all this. And then yesterday they announced
Speaker 1: that they've struck some kind of a deal with China
Speaker 1: and that the Chinese students get to stay. And Trump
Speaker 1: said this today.
Speaker 2: I've always been in favor of students coming and from
Speaker 2: other countries, that includes China, and we have five hundred
Speaker 2: thousand Chinese students coming in. I've always been in favor
Speaker 2: of it. Does it mean that you have to watch
Speaker 2: people yeah, you have to watch students, but you have
Speaker 2: to watch other people also. I've always been strongly in
Speaker 2: favor of it. I think it's a great thing. It's
Speaker 2: also it's good for our schools. It's good for I
Speaker 2: think it's good for our country. I'm also in favor
Speaker 2: of having them stay. I've been in favor of letting
Speaker 2: them stay. If you get educated for four years, you're
Speaker 2: willing to get educated for four years. I like people
Speaker 2: being able to stay. You know, they have some great students.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, if you are that, if you are in
Speaker 1: immigration hawk, in all the way hawk, these kind of
Speaker 1: comments have you getting ready to blow a gasket. And
Speaker 1: full disclosure, anyone who's been listening for a while knows this.
Speaker 1: I am an immigran hawk, to put it mildly, and
Speaker 1: when I say hawk, here's what I mean. Here's what
Speaker 1: I mean, because a lot of people like to pretend
Speaker 1: to be that because it helps you get elected and
Speaker 1: things like that. When I say immigration hawk, I'm talking
Speaker 1: about the kind of person who believes a country should
Speaker 1: do anything and everything to secure its borders and stop
Speaker 1: illegals from coming in. But wait a minute, wait a minute,
Speaker 1: that's just one part of it, another part of it.
Speaker 1: Part two. That's part one, Part one, securing the border.
Speaker 1: There's more to being an immigration hawk. Part two is
Speaker 1: mass deportation of every illegal in the country. If you
Speaker 1: are here illegally, man, woman, child, criminal record from Guatemala,
Speaker 1: or not at all, if you were here in the
Speaker 1: country illegally. In immigration hawk, a tried and true immigration
Speaker 1: hawk like me, once you arrested and deported immediately. But wait,
Speaker 1: there's more. One more. It takes three things to be
Speaker 1: a true immigration hawk. And I'm not saying you have
Speaker 1: to be one. Maybe you disagree on this, but if
Speaker 1: you're if someone tells me they're an immigration hawk, I
Speaker 1: expect these three things. The third one is legal immigration restrictions,
Speaker 1: a lot of them. Oh. I'm not against all forms
Speaker 1: of legal immigration, of course, but the mass importation of
Speaker 1: foreigners doesn't magically become wonderful just because some politician makes
Speaker 1: it legal. That's how you wreck your culture. People can
Speaker 1: come here, it should be hard, it should take a
Speaker 1: long time, it should never happen in mass Hey, let's
Speaker 1: get fifty thousand people from Somalia. That'll be enriching. No, no, no,
Speaker 1: it wasn't bad. Idea a true immigration hawk believes in
Speaker 1: securing the border, deep illegals, in restrictions on legal immigration.
Speaker 1: That's what a true immigration hawk believes. And again I'm
Speaker 1: not saying that you have to be one, but if
Speaker 1: you tell me that's what you are, that's what I
Speaker 1: expect out of you. Now, let's discuss Donald Trump's comments today.
Speaker 1: We are going to discuss this with some nuance. Not
Speaker 1: because I'm trying to be nuanced, after all, it's me.
Speaker 1: I'm about as nuanced as a sledgehammer, but because the
Speaker 1: situation here is nuanced for a variety of different reasons.
Speaker 1: And we're going to discuss all of this, and then
Speaker 1: we'll do some more politics and then you can kick
Speaker 1: back and put your feet up and we'll talk about
Speaker 1: Alexander the Great Deal. Okay, First, Donald Trump is not
Speaker 1: an immigration hawk. I allow me to explain. I want
Speaker 1: me to explain. We on the right, we have been underserved.
Speaker 1: Anyone who believes in immigration hawkishness has been underserved by
Speaker 1: the Republican Party for ages ages a bunch of amnesty
Speaker 1: love and open borders weenies. Therefore, whenever a Republican, whoever
Speaker 1: they are, a governor, a senator, Donald Trump himself. Whenever
Speaker 1: a Republican starts speaking tough and speaking plainly about immigration,
Speaker 1: we we fall in love really really fast, really fast.
Speaker 1: It's like it's like when you're on deployment in the
Speaker 1: Marines and you haven't seen a woman for six months,
Speaker 1: and you get to go visit an Air Force base
Speaker 1: and out around the corner comes this manatee and it's
Speaker 1: the most beautiful thing you've ever seen in your life.
Speaker 1: Why because you've been starved of female attention and affection
Speaker 1: for six months. Anything that's a woman looks good. The
Speaker 1: exact same thing happens with Republican voters. We have been
Speaker 1: screwed so many times by so many of our reps
Speaker 1: and so many of our presidents, over and over and
Speaker 1: over again. The second Donald Trump comes down an escalator
Speaker 1: and says, Mexico's not said in their best These are
Speaker 1: a bunch of dirt balls and drug dealers and things
Speaker 1: like that. We sit back and say, oh gosh, finally
Speaker 1: someone speaking my language. And we wrap our arms around
Speaker 1: them and we say, look, I finally have my immigration hawk.
Speaker 1: But there's what you want, and then there's reality. Now,
Speaker 1: let's discuss reality. It is the Jesse Kelly Show on
Speaker 1: a Fantastic Thursday, as we churn through the week. In
Speaker 1: case you're just now joining us, we're discussing Donald Trump's
Speaker 1: today comments today on legal immigration, on the illegals that
Speaker 1: are working for farms, that are working for you mentioned
Speaker 1: the leisure industry that are working for for hotels, and
Speaker 1: I am explaining what's going on. I'm talking about these commeds.
Speaker 2: Look to statement today about farmers. Our farmers are being
Speaker 2: hurt badly by you know, they have very good workers,
Speaker 2: they've worked for him for twenty years. They're not citizens.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not going to go into the whole thing again.
Speaker 1: He says, Hey, we do. You have to figure something out.
Speaker 1: We're going to be doing something soon. So these illegals
Speaker 1: who've been here for a long time can stay. Immigration hawks.
Speaker 1: If you are one, you're mad. If you're not, you
Speaker 1: don't care. If you're an immigration hawk, you're mad. So
Speaker 1: I'm explaining we've been underserved as Republican voters by the
Speaker 1: GOP forever when it comes to illegal immigration. Donald Trump
Speaker 1: has spoken our language on illegal immigration. So, Donald Trump,
Speaker 1: what has happened is people see what they want to see.
Speaker 1: It's human nature. We all see what we want to see,
Speaker 1: especially with people we like, people we love even we
Speaker 1: do it with spouses, we do it with our children,
Speaker 1: we do it with When you love something, you tend
Speaker 1: to see it in the light you want to see
Speaker 1: it in and not always in reality. Donald Trump is
Speaker 1: not now, nor has he ever been, in immigration hawk
Speaker 1: in the sense of the word I describe before. He
Speaker 1: is a border hawk, and he should be applauded for that.
Speaker 1: He is somebody who believes in stopping the flow of
Speaker 1: illegal illegal immigration. He has done so in his first
Speaker 1: four years. He did it, and he did it immediately
Speaker 1: after taking over this four years. He believes in one
Speaker 1: of the three right there, border security. On to the
Speaker 1: second part of it. Remember there's three things, security, deporting illegals,
Speaker 1: restricting legal immigration. When it comes to border security, he's
Speaker 1: an A plus dynamite and should be applauded for it.
Speaker 1: Now number two, deporting illegals, he's not an A plus,
Speaker 1: He's a B plus meaning Donald Trump wants the murderers,
Speaker 1: the rapists, the gang members rounded up and deported. And
Speaker 1: to his credit, he has expanded on that. Friends, family members,
Speaker 1: He is sending ice and he deserves all the credit
Speaker 1: in the world for this. He is sending ice onto
Speaker 1: construction sites, he's sending ice into workplaces, and he's rounding
Speaker 1: up illegals as fast as he can round them up,
Speaker 1: and he's deporting them. But the reason he's a B
Speaker 1: plus and not an A plus is well, I mean,
Speaker 1: if you've been here for a while, it's okay. Now
Speaker 1: you may agree with him on that, by the way,
Speaker 1: but I'm explaining what he actually is, not what you
Speaker 1: want him to be, not what I want him to be.
Speaker 1: We're here to discuss reality. No more mommy time, it's
Speaker 1: daddy time. He's a plus on the border security, he's
Speaker 1: a B plus on deporting illegals. And look, let's pause
Speaker 1: for a second. If we have to defend him, sorry,
Speaker 1: but I'm in a great mood. I'm gonna defend him.
Speaker 1: B plus is better than we've had for a long
Speaker 1: time now. When it comes to legal immigration, Donald Trump
Speaker 1: is a D maybe even an F if you're an
Speaker 1: immigration hawk. He does not agree with you on that.
Speaker 1: He has had. The people are mad about the things
Speaker 1: he said today about he wants more Chinese students here,
Speaker 1: he wants the farm illegals to stay, he wants this.
Speaker 1: Donald Trump has a long history of public comments where
Speaker 1: he has said these things before. He's talked about stamping
Speaker 1: granting citizenship when you graduate college. He's talked about more
Speaker 1: H one B visas, which are not these super heady
Speaker 1: technologically advanced visas. Not at all. If you want a restriction,
Speaker 1: want restrictions on legal immigration, Donald Trump does not agree
Speaker 1: with you. People pretend he does because he's pretty good
Speaker 1: on the other two aspects of it. But he's never
Speaker 1: been that guy. We pretended, or maybe you pretended, maybe
Speaker 1: you didn't, But he's never been that guy. And the
Speaker 1: reason when I heard him say that today, I didn't
Speaker 1: get outraged, even though I disagree with him. I didn't
Speaker 1: get outraged because I never thought he was that guy.
Speaker 1: I never projected my beliefs onto Donald Trump, my beliefs
Speaker 1: on legal immigration and how it should be handled. I
Speaker 1: never projected those onto him. What his are, I know
Speaker 1: what mine are. We differ on that. He's pretty good
Speaker 1: on the other two. Therefore I like it so far. Now,
Speaker 1: I was not trying to offer an excuse. I really
Speaker 1: genuinely wasn't. I was simply explaining how Donald Trump actually
Speaker 1: looks at immigration, legal and illegal. And the reason I
Speaker 1: was explaining it is just like I said, people project.
Speaker 1: It's human nature to project. Trump's our guy, make America
Speaker 1: great again. He's saving the country. So you take all
Speaker 1: your hopes and dreams and you dump them in Donald
Speaker 1: Trump's lap, and then you say, wow, look he shares
Speaker 1: my hopes and dreams. Now you put him there. He
Speaker 1: didn't ask for them. That said that wasn't making an excuse,
Speaker 1: That was stating an obvious fact. Allow me to offer
Speaker 1: a bit of an explanation. Maybe you're sitting there squirming
Speaker 1: in your chair. Allow me to offer an explanation that's
Speaker 1: a little bit more in depth. And then maybe we'll
Speaker 1: do a couple other things before history. All right, hang on,
Speaker 1: It is the Jesse Kelly Show on a wonderful Thursday,
Speaker 1: reminding you that Fridays on The Jesse Kelly Show belong
Speaker 1: to you. You can email your questions in all three hours.
Speaker 1: I answer whatever you email in right now to Jesse
Speaker 1: at Jesse kellyshow dot com. Ask me anything, doesn't have
Speaker 1: to be political. Fridays are always a wild, really good
Speaker 1: time here on the Jesse Kelly Show. Now back to
Speaker 1: we already discussed Trump and immigration, hawks and his comments
Speaker 1: today about the farm and leisure industry. All right, let's
Speaker 1: expand this a little bit more. Hey, Chris, if you
Speaker 1: don't mind grab that student visa, the Chinese student visa
Speaker 1: comments Trump made today. This will come back to the
Speaker 1: legal immigration, illegal im gration talk. Just stay with me
Speaker 1: on something. Just before you play these, remember that we
Speaker 1: are fresh off the heels of a lot of tough
Speaker 1: talk from the Trump administration. Rubio and these guys about
Speaker 1: Chinese students, Chinese student visas, that these things, hey, that
Speaker 1: we're kicking out these Chinese students. China uses these students
Speaker 1: for espionage, which they do, and you know that was
Speaker 1: what they were telling us, which anyone who knows knows
Speaker 1: that's true. China is using these for espionage. We're canceling
Speaker 1: these Chinese student visas. We've had enough of this stuff.
Speaker 1: And then Trump gets up today and says this.
Speaker 2: I've always been in favor of students coming in from
Speaker 2: other countries, that includes China, and we have five hundred
Speaker 2: thousand Chinese students coming in. I've always been in favor
Speaker 2: of it. Does it mean that you have to watch people, Yeah,
Speaker 2: you have to watch students, but you have to watch
Speaker 2: other people. Also, I've always been strongly in favor of it.
Speaker 2: I think it's a great thing. It's also it's good
Speaker 2: for our schools, it's good for I think it's good.
Speaker 1: For We got it. We got it. Every immigration hawk
Speaker 1: or somebody concerned about China or Chinese espionage is sitting
Speaker 1: there wincing, and so I am not going to offer
Speaker 1: an excuse, but I am going to offer an explanation
Speaker 1: if you will. China. Remember, remember we discussed the London
Speaker 1: negotiations that just happened with China. Trump said. Trump sent
Speaker 1: his big boy envoys, the ones he clearly trusts and
Speaker 1: relies upon, guys like Howard Lutnick, sent them over to
Speaker 1: neutral territory in London, where they sat down with China
Speaker 1: to work out some sort of a deal or start
Speaker 1: working out some sort of a deal. And I know
Speaker 1: this sounds like I'm changing the subject. Believe me, I'm not.
Speaker 1: This is all going to come back together. So stay
Speaker 1: with me. Let's discuss again what the situation is. The
Speaker 1: situation is that Trump adminished Trump's people. They have said
Speaker 1: repeatedly that they want to reshore America's manufacturing. They want
Speaker 1: to bring manufacturing back here and take it away from China.
Speaker 1: That's what they've said China vice versa. Their entire economy
Speaker 1: rests on manufacturing everything. So Trump's stated goals of restoring
Speaker 1: American manufacturing when he says that, he might as well
Speaker 1: come out and say, what I want is to destroy
Speaker 1: the Chinese economy. That's how cross purpose those two goals are. Okay,
Speaker 1: you're with me still, that's the setup, and we reached
Speaker 1: a real nasty impasse with China. Howard Lutnik, Trump's guys,
Speaker 1: they go over there, they come back and say, woo,
Speaker 1: we have kind of a deal, at least the start
Speaker 1: of a deal with it. In the very least, hostility
Speaker 1: have ceased, and voila. The next day, Donald Trump gets
Speaker 1: up and announces that he loves all these Chinese students.
Speaker 1: He's just really happy that they're all here, and they
Speaker 1: should all come and go to Harvard. Not that the
Speaker 1: develop what's going on? Donald Trump? For any desires he
Speaker 1: may have of reassoring American manufacturing and making trade more
Speaker 1: even and whatnot, he is still a president and not
Speaker 1: a king. A president and not a king, and frankly,
Speaker 1: even kings, most of them, their power was limited but
Speaker 1: let's focus on what we're talking about here. He's not
Speaker 1: a king. He can have all the desires he wants
Speaker 1: about American manufacturing and American workers and they have more
Speaker 1: fair trade, and he can want a million different things.
Speaker 1: He is, however, limited. There is a ceiling on just
Speaker 1: how much of it he can get done, because the
Speaker 1: powers of the presidency are limited. Therefore, you can get
Speaker 1: out there on the campaign trail and you can say
Speaker 1: things like we're going to bring all this manufacturing back
Speaker 1: and we're going to take it to China. But reality
Speaker 1: has a way of smacking around campaign promises. Because here's reality.
Speaker 1: When Donald Trump first started hammering China with these tariffs
Speaker 1: a little bit ago, remember that little dip in the
Speaker 1: stock market, Remember the mass panic. Everybody picked up their
Speaker 1: phone and checked their four oh one k and then
Speaker 1: freaked out and called their mother. Remember all that. What
Speaker 1: was that? Let me tell you what it was. That
Speaker 1: was the global financial system putting I'm gonna say this
Speaker 1: in a way that might offend you. Remember if you're offended,
Speaker 1: I don't give a crap. That was the global financial
Speaker 1: system putting Donald Trump in his place. That was the
Speaker 1: global financial system telling Donald Trump uh. You may be
Speaker 1: the most powerful person on the planet. You may be
Speaker 1: the president of the United States of America. You don't
Speaker 1: get to upset the apple cart for how the world's
Speaker 1: finances run. That was the global financial system saying hey, mister,
Speaker 1: not so fast and not so far, you better slow down.
Speaker 1: And you notice thirty seconds after that, hey, we got
Speaker 1: a ninety day truce with China. While we work things out.
Speaker 1: You can want to reshore manufacturing, you can want to
Speaker 1: make things here, you can want all the right things,
Speaker 1: you can have the right goals in mind. But you
Speaker 1: are still, as a president, as any elected political leader
Speaker 1: in this country, you are still confined by the system,
Speaker 1: by the political system, by our current laws, by the
Speaker 1: financial system, by the system that has been put into
Speaker 1: place over years and years and years, a system that
Speaker 1: you now have to work with, whether or not you
Speaker 1: like that system or dislike that system. If I am
Speaker 1: made the head basketball coach of the local school, of
Speaker 1: the local high school, and I promise people when they
Speaker 1: hire me, when they're thinking about hiring me, I'm going
Speaker 1: to go in a state championship in the first year.
Speaker 1: Just hire me. Coach Kelly will take you to the
Speaker 1: promised Land, We're going to win a state championship. I
Speaker 1: give you my word, and then I take over the
Speaker 1: team and I find out it's a bunch of five
Speaker 1: foot six white kids who can't run and can't jump
Speaker 1: and aren't very good at basketball. Well, I mean, it
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. If I'm Bobby Knight and John I wouldn't
Speaker 1: all rolled up into won. It doesn't matter how much
Speaker 1: I want to win that state championship. And I do
Speaker 1: want to win that state championship, and I'm gonna bust
Speaker 1: my butt to make sure it happens. We're not gonna
Speaker 1: win the state championship, not with a bunch of five
Speaker 1: six white kids. It's not gonna happen. What, Chris, is
Speaker 1: that offensive? Is it? I didn't mean it to be.
Speaker 1: Everyone knows what I mean. The presidency, its powers are limited. Now.
Speaker 1: That brought me back to the discussion of why all
Speaker 1: this talk today, why this public announcement, Why did we
Speaker 1: wake up and we're seeing Donald Trump? Our great farmers
Speaker 1: and people in hotel and leisure have been stating our
Speaker 1: very aggressive policy on immigration is taking a very good,
Speaker 1: longtime workers away from them and those jobs are impossible
Speaker 1: to replace. In fact, that criminals are getting hired, which
Speaker 1: is kind of bullcrap, but still, why did we wake
Speaker 1: up to this? Well, that's going to bring us right
Speaker 1: back to the conversation we just had about the limits
Speaker 1: of the powers of the presidency. I'll finish this up
Speaker 1: in a moment. Hang on, it is the Jesse Kelly Show.
Speaker 1: You're lucky. I just didn't let that song play. I'll
Speaker 1: tell you that right now on a wonderful, wonderful Thursday.
Speaker 1: Remember if you miss any part of the show, he
Speaker 1: could download the whole thing. iHeart spotify iTunes. Now let's
Speaker 1: round out this long discussion about what Trump said about
Speaker 1: the illegal farm workers and hotel workers and all the
Speaker 1: other stuff, and then we're walking away from politics. I'm
Speaker 1: about rioted out. I'm politics out for the day. We're
Speaker 1: about to go talk about some Alexander the Great. I
Speaker 1: take that back. In the final hour. We'll probably come
Speaker 1: back and do some more politics, but just a warning.
Speaker 1: Consider this your warning. Now I'm about to divert right
Speaker 1: off politics and everything else, and I'm going deep into
Speaker 1: history about ten minutes from now. I don't know when
Speaker 1: I'm pulling out again. So there you go. I don't
Speaker 1: know when I'm gonna stop talking about that I got.
Speaker 1: I'll put it to you that way. I don't need
Speaker 1: these looks, Chris, what Donald Trump said about illegal immigration, farmers, hotels, leisure.
Speaker 1: I've discussed this thing with you before. Let me remind
Speaker 1: you again that I ran for Congress a couple times
Speaker 1: in Arizona. I was the Republican nominee for Congress a
Speaker 1: couple times. And when you're running for Congress, certainly once
Speaker 1: you earn the Republican nomination, every single area is the same.
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter what area you're listening to me from.
Speaker 1: There is a cabal of wealthy Republicans in your area,
Speaker 1: and they usually know each other, work with each other,
Speaker 1: and they are considered bundlers. We called them bundlers. The
Speaker 1: National Republican Party calls them that. The Democrat Party calls
Speaker 1: them that too. They have their own Your area has
Speaker 1: this wealthy cabal of Republican donors who will raise you
Speaker 1: money to get you elected to the state House or
Speaker 1: state senator, mayor or congress or senator or whatever. And
Speaker 1: look like if you're running for president, you'll have different
Speaker 1: pockets of these people in the different areas all across
Speaker 1: the country. George W. Bush. Here's a little tidbit you
Speaker 1: may not know. George W. Bush had this, and he
Speaker 1: had a name for them. They were considered because George W.
Speaker 1: Bush is a Texan and everyone knows what the Texas
Speaker 1: Rangers are. They were called Rangers Bush's Rangers. If you
Speaker 1: were a wealthy Republican donor who bundled a lot of
Speaker 1: money for George Bush, I forget what the number was,
Speaker 1: how much you had to raise, you got the title
Speaker 1: of and I'm sure you also got a cell phone number.
Speaker 1: That's how it works. Okay, you got it.
Speaker 2: You with me.
Speaker 1: Well, I'm running for Congress in Arizona. These Republican donors,
Speaker 1: almost every one of them. They're business owners, different kinds
Speaker 1: of businesses, hotels, restaurant tours. I found so fancy when
Speaker 1: I say that Chris leisure industry. They met with me
Speaker 1: when they were considering whether or not they were going
Speaker 1: to support my run for Congress. It was still a
Speaker 1: primary at the time, and they weren't really interested in
Speaker 1: my tax stance. They didn't really care whether I was
Speaker 1: pro life or or kill them all let God sort
Speaker 1: them out. They were interested in my stance on illegal immigration,
Speaker 1: and they were very concerned that I meant the things
Speaker 1: I was saying back then about deporting every single illegal
Speaker 1: and securing the border. When they found out I was
Speaker 1: dead serious about that, they chose to bundle for somebody else. This,
Speaker 1: by the way, explains why there are so many Republicans
Speaker 1: in Congress, James Langford and others who are so open
Speaker 1: borders and always end up siding with the Democrats on it.
Speaker 1: The truth is, money is the lifeblood of politics. You
Speaker 1: don't get elected to any position without raising some of it.
Speaker 1: You don't have to raise the most of it, that's
Speaker 1: a lie, but you've got to raise some. Even at
Speaker 1: city council, small city council rate, you're it's gonna take
Speaker 1: some money. You're gonna need some to raise some money
Speaker 1: for mailers and bumper stickers. It takes some money. The
Speaker 1: wealthy people who support Republicans for president not all of
Speaker 1: them at all, So don't think I'm indicting everybody. But
Speaker 1: many of the wealthy people who support Republicans for President
Speaker 1: and House and Senate. They are business leaders who rely
Speaker 1: on immigrant workers to keep the labor costs down. Sometimes
Speaker 1: those immigrant workers they rely on are legal, Oftentimes they
Speaker 1: are not legal oftentimes at my fancy Republican resort, Jesse
Speaker 1: Kelly Resort and SPA. Please come on, well, spend some
Speaker 1: time by the fool by the pool, enjoy our five restaurants.
Speaker 1: We'll give your wife a facial. All this kind of thing. Well,
Speaker 1: I've I've got five hundred employees who work there. Two
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty of them are illegals. I got them
Speaker 1: washing the rooms, I got them doing the dishes, I
Speaker 1: got them cleaning the pool. We're not gonna let them
Speaker 1: give your wife a facial. But you understand what I mean.
Speaker 1: That's the dirty little secret. And so here is what happened.
Speaker 1: We'll call this a guess if you will. Donald Trump's
Speaker 1: phone has been ringing when he turned ice all the
Speaker 1: way loose. And Tom Holman is a guy he used,
Speaker 1: an immigration hawk in every sense of the word. Tom
Speaker 1: Holman will deport his own mother if he finds out
Speaker 1: she's here illegally. That's why I love him. Tom Holman's
Speaker 1: been sending ice on freaking construction sites. Tom Homer will
Speaker 1: kick in the door of your restaurant and deport everybody there.
Speaker 1: Donald Trump's phone has been ringing, and not from people
Speaker 1: like you, or people like me, people with large bank
Speaker 1: accounts who write large checks. Probably people who have done
Speaker 1: business with Donald Trump many times before, have been calling
Speaker 1: and texting and saying, hey, mister President, hmm, I got
Speaker 1: a hotel. I'm trying to keep profitable here. You just
Speaker 1: deported a bunch of my guys. Now you can say,
Speaker 1: as I would say, too bad, so sad. But this
Speaker 1: is what happens when you see it's been years getting
Speaker 1: your economy addicted to the drug of illegal immigration. It
Speaker 1: is a drug. It is an addictive drug, and we
Speaker 1: are hooked on it as a nation. Getting us off
Speaker 1: of that drug it can't happen all at once, much
Speaker 1: as I want it to. We're going to have to
Speaker 1: wean ourselves off of it by electing border hawk after
Speaker 1: border hawk after border hawk who will take the necessary steps.
Speaker 1: That's why Donald Trump came out today and said what
Speaker 1: he said. I know that doesn't ease your anger. I
Speaker 1: get it. I disagree with him too, but that is
Speaker 1: what happened. I'm tired of politics. I'm going to talk
Speaker 1: about history for an hour, maybe more. I don't care.
Speaker 1: It's my show. If you don't like it, now would
Speaker 1: be a good time. To change the channel because we're
Speaker 1: about to go back to ancient history. One of the
Speaker 1: most fascinating sieges I've ever studied in my lifetime
