Thank you.
We're going to end our last Saturday show of the year with one of our favorite songs here in the War Room.
Get the Behind Me Satan from Billy Joe Shaver.
Let's let it rip.
We'll see you back here live on Monday morning.
In 2015, sometime early in 2015, I met Ted Cruz and talked to him a lot.
And at that time, I thought, this is going to be the guy.
But after I had conversations with him, I go, now there's something missing there.
And it was about that time that I was on vacation in Arizona, and I noticed that Trump was on TV, and they had to move his speech from the Arizona Biltmore Hotel, which is good, but it doesn't have a big...
auditorium to the Arizona Convention Center in downtown Phoenix, which seats 10,000.
I thought, there's something to this.
You don't do this every day.
This guy must have something.
He must be saying something that people are responding to.
Now, you know as well as I do that in 2006,
President Bush had attempted with this gang of eight a illegal immigration reform that was going to be a basic form of amnesty.
And people revolted.
At the time, Rush Limbaugh engaged in the only request he ever made for people to call into D.C.
on an issue, and they shut that down.
But no one between that time and the end of Obama's term was talking at all about illegal immigration except Donald Trump.
