Ann Was Interviewed by the Daily Caller

    The Daily Caller published a piece by Vince Coglianese on Wednesday, June 17, 2015. There is a short video, but the whole interview should be out tomorrow morning.

UPDATE: The full interview was released on Thursday, June 18, 2015, at 11:57pm.

    Here are some quotes (from the full interview):

    On why Rubio (who is of Cuban descent) is not the answer to the GOP's "Latino Problem":
"All these Hispanic groups hate one another... Blacks [and] Mexican gangs constantly having huge gang blowouts... Everybody hates the Cubans... They're like the Jews of the Hispanics... The idea that, oh, Marco Rubio... he'll just be catnip." [Quote found in minute 16.]

    On Republicans using identity politics:
"How many times have Republicans tried to play this, this identity politics game? Oh, if we run Michael Steele blacks will love him because he's black. If we run Sarah Palin, women will rush to Sarah Palin. No! Identity politics isn't our game. It never works... [Ann paraphrases Romney hoping we might have a Republican ticket with two women.] Oh, knock off the identity politics. I promise you when Margaret Thatcher comes along we will know it. You won't have to look around and say, 'Oh, we found a woman!'" [Quote found in minute 17.]


"Republicans, as a whole, are being very, very disappointing. [They're] going to be, as Jack Nicholson said in The Shining, 'They have to be corrected.'" [Quote found in minute 27.]

    If you do not have time to listen to the full 28 minutes, here is what they talked about:

Minute 0: Introduction.
Minutes 1-2: Media avoiding Ann even though she is a 10-time New York Times bestseller.
Minute 3: First use of phrase "illegal immigrant."
Minutes 4-5: Legal immigrants are just as bad.
Minutes 5-6: Pre- vs. post-1970 immigrants.
Minutes 6-7: How leftists are destroying America with immigration.
Minute 8: Immigration is the most important issue.
Minute 9: Union groups don't care about immigrants taking American jobs.
Minute 10: Is the media lazy or intentionally avoiding reporting problems with immigration?
Minute 11: The "immigrant experience" is not the "black experience."
Minute 12: Only WASP societies (the best ones) apologize for success.
Minute 13: Border security first, conversations later.
Minute 14: Amnesty might be necessary?

Minute 18: All low wage workers dislike immigration because of the competition.
Minutes 19-20: Public voices and people who take Ann's side.
Minute 20: Americans have shut down proposed amnesties 3 times in the past decade.
Minute 21: Younger Republicans who are elected are smarter on immigration because they are going to be alive in the future and have to deal with the consequences.
Minute 22: Liberals gloating about the "browning of America" and whites dying off.
