BENNY JOHNSON (HOST): We should be just extremely grateful for a president that speaks with the kind of tenor and clarity like this. I mean, again, say what you will about President Trump, I've waited my entire life to hear that type of clarity and verve from a president. Like, damn it. You better be grateful for this nation or you should go home.

And as we have said, whatever you think about the Iran war, this moment should be the absolute and total initiation point for mass deportations, grand and mass deportations of every criminal alien, mass denaturalizations of everyone who gives aid and comfort to the enemy. There is an enemy. There are ideologies that are incompatible with Western civilization. That is a matter of fact, and we should not want them inside of our lands. It doesn't mean that we need to go kill them in their lands, but we shouldn't want them in our lands. 

Ilhan Omar, a walking billboard for what happens when you allow this to fester. And what do I mean by this? The loathing and ingratitude for our American nation. Again, Ilhan Omar, of all people, given her background, her life had a 0% chance of success. 0%. Go check in with other young girls who weren't airlifted out of Somalia. Find out how they're doing, if they're still around in Somalia. I don't mean to be macabre, but go check in. The United Nations has, multiple NGOs and nonprofits have, and they all come back and say this is the single worst place you could possibly ever live. It is the worst. Think Ilhan Omar would be sitting there with a $30 million mysterious net worth in the halls of Congress screaming at the most powerful man in the world. The insult, that alone, ladies and gentlemen, should make all Americans demand mass deportations and immediately. Frankly, if you come to this country, you should have to earn it.
