Ann Speaks with James Naughtie on BBC

    On Wednesday, May 18, 2016, Ann visited James Naughtie to discuss Trump and immigration. The audio is over 5 minutes.


Here are some quotes:
"Why can't we have a home? Everybody else can have a home... National Geographic [says] 'And oh, the indigenous people, and they love their home...' No! We're the only people on earth who aren't allowed to have a home." [Quote found in minute 0.]
On America keeping other countries safe:
"I care about keeping [America safe]. I don't care about what happens to the Ukraine any more than I think Russia should care what we do to illegals here in Texas. I have an idea: Good luck to the rest of the world, but let's keep America safe." [Quote found in minute 3.]
On the rational of banning all Muslims:
" Ann: The rational is 9/11, Fort Hood, Boston Marathon, San Bernardino... When they're not committing terrorism... what good are they? They're on welfare, they're committing small petty crimes, they're completely ripping off the government.

Naughtie: [You're saying every Muslim is bad?]

Ann: We don't need any of them. Frankly, we don't need the British. I don't know why we're blocking the British and... letting in Somalis who go to Minnesota... 90% are on welfare, they don't have jobs... I don't think we need the British to come in, but if... we got to let somebody in, I know, how about people who speak our language and won't immediately go on welfare... We've been very generous to the rest of the world. It's gotta stop now. America needs a little 'me time.'" [Quote found in minutes 3-4.]

Here's what they discussed:

Minute 0: Trump is driving the establishment crazy. America is a nation of immigrants. Jews.
Minute 1: The wall. Heroin.
Minute 2: No amnesty. America first.
Minutes 3-4: Banning all Muslims.
Minute 4: Trump will maybe win.
Minutes 4-5: Democrats want immigrants for votes.
Minute 5: Cut.
