Summary
The Great Wall of China is so massive that astronauts can see it in good weather conditions from space. The wall boasts over 3,000 miles of towers and brick embankments, over 1,200 miles of natural defensive barriers, and slaves buried within the wall. China is also exceptionally good at imposing digital walls, so much so that China ranks the worst in the world for internet freedom because they need a wall between free press and free dialogue with their people.

Thousands of years ago, Quinn Xie Hong, the first emperor of China,
00:00:16.860
standing before hordes of his followers in the Quinn dynasty.
00:00:21.580
Bright red bamboo hat on, chanting, build that wall.
00:00:31.680
And it has been carefully maintained over the last 2,000 years.
00:00:36.640
But today, the Great Wall of China is so massive that astronauts can see it
00:00:46.020
The wall boasts over 3,000 miles of towers and brick embankments,
00:00:53.460
over 1,200 miles of natural defensive barriers,
00:01:00.840
It's also worth mentioning that the Chinese government is also exceptionally good
00:01:06.820
So much so that China ranks the worst in the world for internet freedom
00:01:12.060
because they need a wall between free press, free dialogue, and their people.
00:01:20.680
So it's a little strange to be lectured by an editorial run by a major Chinese network in China,
00:01:30.640
criticizing us and President Trump for his proposal to build a large wall
00:01:37.780
China, quote, following the path of expanding and opening up is China,
00:01:43.840
its best response to the trade dispute between China and the United States.
00:01:47.780
It is also the responsibility that major countries should have to the world.
00:02:02.900
a person who thinks only about building walls wherever they may be
00:02:10.140
Well, I've been to the Vatican, your papacy highness,
00:02:20.080
Same goes for all the celebrities who live in heavily walled compounds.
00:02:28.180
But you know what's strange is all of those people keep criticizing the plan to build a wall.
00:02:41.240
Yeah, perhaps the stone thing might be revamped just a little bit.
00:02:47.520
Don't throw stones at people who want to build walls
00:02:54.640
There are three things that we have to talk about when it comes to the border.
00:03:11.840
We need to first address the emotional issue of it.
00:03:30.080
Because what's happening on the border is deeply emotional and deeply disturbing.
00:03:55.380
Do we have the audio yet of the children crying behind the wall?
00:04:10.980
Of course, everybody's playing this very, very emotional audio of the kids crying.
00:04:21.220
But if you listen to what the kid is saying who is looking for his aunt,
00:04:48.700
We talked about how this is a very emotional issue,
00:04:59.920
We have to see them as kids who are being used.
00:05:07.620
They're being used now for props for the media.
00:05:12.660
But they're also being used, some of them, by drug lords.
00:05:17.660
Their families are being destroyed by drug lords.
00:05:22.700
At a time when you could come across the border and say anything under Obama,
00:05:27.740
why is it that they were still using, not the bridge,
00:05:31.840
but when we were there, they were still using the river?
00:05:38.000
When you could use the bridge and just say whatever it was Obama said you had to say,
00:05:45.760
Because the drug lords were playing on these families.
00:05:49.680
They were prey, ready for the wolves to come and eat them at night.
00:05:59.000
Many of them would come either without their parents,
00:06:02.600
or one of their parents would be left behind to do work for the drug lord.
00:06:07.660
And then when their family got into a position,
00:06:11.100
they would be asked to help them on a few projects here in America.
00:06:23.660
So these kids and these families have been used and abused.
00:06:28.560
And they are being used and abused again by the media.
00:06:37.000
The only way, the only reason why I say this is because it's true.
00:06:43.140
Because we were there when it was their president who was in the Oval Office,
00:07:23.160
You know, it was almost impossible to get people to go to McAllen, Texas.
00:07:44.260
Here it is, all the people that you say are haters
00:07:51.520
And once we got there and found out what was going on,
00:08:38.720
They are playing into your addiction for outrage.
00:09:50.440
If you don't want to use the system of passports,
01:39:24.300
not because we didn't have tariffs Detroit is a
01:39:32.200
small business you know a business minded small
01:40:01.480
yeah so obviously that's number one and I think you
01:41:06.860
were in a cage but they've zoomed in so far that
01:41:09.340
it doesn't look like it's a kid it's an activist
01:41:14.860
like it could be from the government and people on
01:41:17.520
that side are tweeting it around as if it's the
01:41:19.520
real thing when it's not when you zoom back out
01:41:26.120
walking around the cage freely because he's not in
01:41:29.020
the actual cage they're utilizing him as a piece
01:41:31.520
of political propaganda and that is the sort of
01:41:44.820
that is not of their creation they're doing the
01:41:47.660
best that they can but it's it's still you don't
01:41:49.580
want it handled like this still who was it that
01:41:51.800
in 2014 came to us and was telling us this has got
01:41:59.440
they were the government workers that were being
01:42:11.120
any ability of to do this we have no experience
01:42:18.040
and we're just holding them and they were beside
01:42:25.540
i had empathy then i have empathy now i am outraged by
01:42:33.520
the media then i'm outraged by the media now and all
01:42:38.020
we're doing is talking about we didn't want to talk
01:42:40.920
about it then because they didn't want to talk about
01:42:42.640
president obama and they do want to talk about it
01:42:45.160
now because all they want to do is pin it on trump
01:42:47.500
i'm sick of it yeah yeah it's really it's the most
01:42:51.840
outrageous for me is seeing these children being used
01:42:55.380
as political pawns by the left that that's the thing
01:42:57.940
because if they came out and they said you know uh when
01:43:00.700
obama was doing it and they said this is wrong let's
01:43:04.100
come find some kind of common you know ground here let's
01:43:07.940
find a reasonable solution you know that would have been
01:43:10.400
fine but the fact that they kept quiet and now all of a
01:43:14.320
sudden it's a big problem for them you know treating these
01:43:17.600
children the way it's child abuse you know are the are the
01:43:20.800
terms that they're using and it's just so it makes me
01:43:24.260
infuriate can i tell you something yes i believe we're the
01:43:27.160
only ones in the country and national broadcast that have
01:43:30.540
credibility on this issue we cared then we went down there then
01:43:36.200
we tried to expose it then we thought it was wrong then we think
01:43:41.820
it's wrong now the question is can anyone handle nuance anymore
01:43:48.440
for instance very few people this audience could
01:43:54.840
of me going down to the border bringing toys and you know things just to
01:44:00.080
make their stay in those cages tolerable um and bring food and everything else
01:44:06.660
while saying we have to secure our border a lot of
01:44:10.560
people didn't like that they didn't understand the nuance because nobody
01:44:16.400
and a kid and nobody will zoom out i think we should go down again because
01:44:34.260
do do we anymore can we have adult conversations anymore
01:44:39.500
can we i don't know i believe the answer is no i don't think so i mean look
01:44:44.560
for again uh calling out a specific example breitbart
01:44:48.380
um breitbart um was when you went down to the border
01:44:52.360
was saying like how you were a sellout how dare you try to make these you know
01:44:56.580
people more bringing soccer balls to the border
01:44:59.460
you do you remember this whole thing yes i do what is their current defense of trump
01:45:02.960
oh they're the lives of these immigrants aren't that bad they've got soccer on television
01:45:07.540
they've got it they've got video games they've got playstations these facilities are fine
01:45:12.240
that's their current defense of trump because now trump's their guy so they say whatever
01:45:16.700
they have to do to get that through i wonder where they got the sucker balls
01:45:19.480
i wonder where they got the soccer balls probably your soccer balls the same soccer balls they were bashing back then
01:45:24.900
again like the principle is consistent here it's not about the personality there's no reason to make it about that
01:45:29.680
i mean trump and his motivation here um the left is going to say he's evil the right is going to say something else
01:45:36.460
the bottom line is everyone recognizes that this is not an ideal policy it needs to be fixed long term
01:45:41.840
the op the alternative right now what the media is trying to suggest is instead of a separating parent from child
01:45:48.620
let parent and child leave together to go inside the borders of the united states and do whatever they
01:45:54.040
want until a mythical hearing that there's no way they're going to show up to in three months
01:45:58.460
it's also ridiculous let me ask you this question would you support a policy forget about the southern
01:46:04.880
border would you support a policy that allowed uh children to get onto a plane with their parents or
01:46:13.300
any adults that claimed that they were the parents and go to another country without identification
01:46:19.600
of a passport matching kids with children well i mean that's just asking for you know kidnapping and
01:46:26.380
oh human trafficking to take place so no i would not be in support of that policy do you think the
01:46:30.820
american people would be for that uh i would hope not right do you think that the left would be for
01:46:36.920
just people leaving the country with kids without any documentation that that's who they belong to
01:46:42.080
well they're telling me that they care about the kids so i would hope not why is it okay that we
01:46:48.000
see people coming from other countries and we say oh no documentation oh you're with them you're fine
01:46:54.760
that could be human trafficking we don't know again when people become emotionally attached
01:47:01.620
all reason goes out the window thanks er we'll see you uh on the radio here in just a few minutes
01:47:07.920

01:49:09.340
quote the facility is located on a main street in a quiet suburban neighborhood there is an outdoor
01:49:15.400
recreation with picnic tables and a small soccer pitch as you go scroll through the photos what do
01:49:20.620
you see but pictures of warm delicious pizzas and chocolate chip cookies laid out for the illegal
01:49:26.260
immigrants that now it's their job to defend that policy before it was their job to attack you
01:49:32.160
for having a hard and caring both times both times people even though they're illegal immigrants deserve
01:49:38.400
hot food even though they're illegal immigrants deserve to have these little children deserve to be have a
01:49:44.660
little bit of joy in their life if especially treated like human beings and then we can talk
01:49:51.860
and hash it out on what the policy is i am strong on defend the border but we must be humane
