ESTEBAN HERNANDEZ [HOST]: If I’m not a citizen, if I’m a criminal, if I have a deportation order, I still have the right to vote in the United States. Don’t you know that’s a universal right? I think the problem with James O’Keefe and these xenophobic, conspiracy-theorist conservatives who hate everyone is that they don’t understand that in the United States, anyone who wants to can vote. That seems to be what the Democrats and the leftists are trying to tell us, right?

No, but you’re not a citizen. It doesn’t matter. He wants to vote. He wants to vote for Kamala Harris. He wants to vote for Abdul El-Sayed. Well, then bring in the Iranians, bring in the Chinese, bring in the Arabs. This isn’t the United States of America anymore. This is the United States of the World. That’s it. We'll turn our elections into the whores of the entire world. Here, anyone who wants to can vote. Whoever can afford the ticket, come and vote.
