ashley webster is with me from the fox business network. ashley, the caracas stock exchange practically zero last year. the president wanted to show what socialism can do. venezuela is so rich with resources. they were a shining star in central america. now we get a system that comes with cronies and corruption, take the goods and the money and leave the majority of the people dirt poor. as we ve seen desperate situation right now. this is just what can go what can happen in socialism. it s a very stark reminder charles: time after time after time and venezuela is in our back yard, but i invite people to look at the study of post colonial africa. many of those countries chose socialism over capitalism because they wanted to separate from europe. they were looking to russia, which looked like they were successful in the 50s.
in a world of public sentiment and public sentiment would be more favorable if you were primarying donald trump as a republican or you were running as a democrat than the idea of someone with nothing but money to spend running as an independent. we will find out, and by the way, let me say something about the man i know. because i think it matters who this person is. he wasn t born on third base. he was born to the projects in new york. his father beat him. he grew up dirt poor. he said when he was loaded up with debt, he had an idea and some guts and some vision and a passion for coffee, and he went out and kept that key in the pocket for that store for 40 years. he said, my only goal was to start the type of company my dad never got a chance to work for. he s the first company in america to give everyone health insurance. part-time employees too. everyone got stock ownership. everyone got a free college education. this is somebody who has
$70,000 per year per illegal immigrant that we pay annually per person. we can t afford that, geraldo. we have citizens that need to some of that money. first of all, sean, can i join you in sending my love and affection to the bush family. a great family, passing of a great man who was an incredible example of service to our nation. tom, i recognize your service as well. let me say hi and technology. sean: being nice to the other guests. this is twice now you have done this. [laughs] just because i am telling you how i stand. i think when you remember back or when your family tells the story of how your forbearers came to this country, they were also dirt poor. the irish were fleeing the potato famine, the devastated economy, the jews fleeing the
pogroms of eastern europe, they come in the first generation, they often don t speak the native language, they are dirt poor, they work their way up, they realize the american dream, they invented google, the infant all of these new gizmos and businesses. it is the lifeblood that feeds our republic, sean. we are a nation, we take people from the four corners. just the fact sean: i get that. this is not addressing the main point. my grandparents, you are right, they were poor. irish catholic. the point is, they came illegally, ellis island, i have the records, actually have them framed. tom, again, i go back to my three things. a wall with a door protects everybody. beth people to make sure they are not our enemies, and three,y have to be able to take care of themselves financially, and not count on the american people. i agree with you, sean.
come in, and for illegal immigrant that we pay annually per person. there are some citizens that need that money. first of all, can i join you in sending my love and affection to the bush family? they are a great family and, that s the passing of a great man that is an incredible example of service. and i just wanted to acknowledge you. you know, this is twice now you ve have done this. i m just telling you where i stand. [laughs] if you remember back or if your family tells a story of how your forbearers come to this country, they were also dirt poor. the are issue survived the potato famine, and there is
