But now we're starting to see an outbreak. So if we were a rational, informed society, we would say something along the following. Because if a parent chooses not to have their child inoculated against childhood diseases, which whooping cough, measles, mumps, then they can't go to the public schools because That's a rational thing to do.

But why then would you let in 12 million people the last four years from one of the poorest areas in the world that is rampant with childhood diseases and say that you're a racist or a xenophobe to even mention the fact that these people coming in unaudited might have diseases? And Texas, where the outbreak is, might be indicative of that.

I can tell you that in rural southwest Fresno County, we've had one years ago, we had cases of leprosy, Hansen's disease. I think there was two cases one year, but nobody was allowed to talk about it. So my point is, yes, you should be inoculated. And yes, RFK will probably widen the window of exemptions if you do not want to be inoculated. You don't want your children...

They're not going to be at risk, but here's the catch with all vaccination. You say vaccinations are dangerous, so I'm not going to be vaccinated. But the fact is most people will be vaccinated. I think just like 95%. So those people, in your view, are taking a risk. But by taking a risk, they're suppressing the ability of the virus or the infectious agent to transmit.

And you're a beneficiary of that. So if everybody did what you did, we would go back to the 40,000 and 50,000 cases a year. And I don't know how many deaths, 400 or 500 deaths per year in the United States of 330 million, maybe more now with the population increase. So that's what we're talking about. But surely...

If you're going to have an open border and you're going to let in three to four million people a year and you make it taboo to even discuss the fact that they're unaudited and they're coming in without health checks and they're coming from areas where these diseases are not rare, and then you're telling people who are citizens in an area where there are no outbreaks that they can't put their children in the state schools because they're unvaccinated, then you've got a disconnect.

And so I would think that you should, under our new immigration policy, there should be a health check at the border. And nobody should be let in who's legal, and anybody who's coming legally should have a vaccination history and a checkup, as was true in the past.
