Summary

The media launches incredibly dishonest attacks against a Trump immigration official. I'll sort through the lies today on the show. Also, is there anything wrong with denying immigrants who only come here to take advantage of the welfare system? Of course not, and I'll explain why. And a Harvard professor claims that white supremacists are pro-life. The exact opposite is the case. Date: 08-14-2019 Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Okie dokie. I apologize for beginning the show by saying okie dokie, but we can't go back now.

0:08.0

We can't undo it. It happened. And we now both have to live with that.

0:13.2

All right, so moving past it, what's the latest fake stupid controversy that we can waste our time

0:18.3

talking about? For that, we go to Ken Kuchinelli, who is one of the one of Trump's top immigration

0:23.7

officials, a little background here. Before we get to the to the fake stupid controversy,

0:27.6

a little background, recently it was announced, in the past couple of days, it was announced by

0:32.4

the Trump administration that they would be taking steps to better enforce public charge policies.

0:40.8

Now, these are policies that Trump did not invent. They don't originate with him.

Nobody in the administration came up with this. These are policies that have existed in some

And what the Trump administration is saying is, hey, let's actually enforce these laws. The idea

1:33.3

And it's not fair to the taxpayers. The taxpayers have their own families to take care of first and

1:38.1

foremost. And so to keep adding more and more people from all across the world, say, yeah, take care

1:42.4

of them too. And them and them. And then, as I said, we got to cut it off somewhere. And there's

no real benefits to the nation or to society, to our society. Immigration should not be a one-way

1:56.1
