So we 46 00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:29,760 Speaker 2: need not only we need to support him, but we 47 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:31,880 Speaker 2: need to give him the recognition that they deserve. 48 00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:35,200 Speaker 3: Sammie, where you Where do you come from in Mexico? 49 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:36,560 Speaker 1: And I know it's been a long time, I mean 50 00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,520 Speaker 1: forty years, you've been here forever, you know, generations. Now, 51 00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:42,000 Speaker 1: where where do you hail from? 52 00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:46,160 Speaker 2: Well, I am not from the country of Mexico.

I don't know if you're familiar. 54 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,600 Speaker 3: With at all with the we've we've heard about it lately. 55 00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:57,480 Speaker 2: Late seventies, late seventies, early throughout the eighties, we had 56 00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:03,480 Speaker 2: a civil war. And that's that's basically what I grew 57 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:09,320 Speaker 2: up and so I have I had the experience, not 58 00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 2: only personally, but also my life. My family suffer the 59 00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:21,760 Speaker 2: consequences of the lawless society where uh you can get 60 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:25,440 Speaker 2: hurt by just going to school, going to work. Uh 61 00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:29,720 Speaker 2: so much violence, death, bombs going off. So I know 62 00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:35,200 Speaker 2: exactly what happens when you let you know, the crazy 63 00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:40,480 Speaker 2: people trying to take over. So that my experience, you know, 64 00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:43,240 Speaker 2: what I'm doing is not because someone told me about 65 00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:46,160 Speaker 2: what could happen. Now if someone told me you know, 66 00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:51,600 Speaker 2: this might happen, No, I I know, bye bye bye 67 00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:55,880 Speaker 2: by having suffered the consequences or what really goes on 68 00:03:56,400 --> 00:04:00,240 Speaker 2: once go and order is not enforced. And to me, 69 00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:04,880 Speaker 2: to me personally, you know, people protests is fine if 70 00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,840 Speaker 2: you are in the side on the sidewalk protesting with 71 00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,440 Speaker 2: the sign, But once you go from the sideways to 72 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:14,320 Speaker 2: the street and you're interfering with law enforcement, you become 73 00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:20,000 Speaker 2: literally an urban guerilla fighter and that must be a stop. 74 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:22,760 Speaker 1: So you've seen this, You've seen this with your own 75 00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:24,240 Speaker 1: two eyes. You live that you got out of there. 76 00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:26,320 Speaker 1: You come to America to get a better life. How 77 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:28,839 Speaker 1: much does it hurt your heart to see what's going 78 00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:29,320 Speaker 1: on here? 79 00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:29,680 Speaker 2: Uh? 80 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:32,680 Speaker 1: You know, in some instances, and not on that scale, 81 00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:35,320 Speaker 1: but in some instances, mimic what you saw from what 82 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:35,920 Speaker 1: you fled. 83 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:40,720 Speaker 2: M It makes me sad because the level of ignorance, 84 00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:45,279 Speaker 2: especially the gringles, the white liberals like you see out 85 00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:48,520 Speaker 2: they're protesting for something that they have no idea what 86 00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:53,119 Speaker 2: they're doing. They're lost, they have no goals in their lives, 87 00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:58,320 Speaker 2: and they think that by protesting for criminals illegal alience, 88 00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:02,839 Speaker 2: they're doing something good and they're so dumb because you know, 89 00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:06,120 Speaker 2: I don't know if you heard, but at least fifty 90 00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:10,360 Speaker 2: percent of the new law enforcement the agents that are 91 00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:14,520 Speaker 2: that are being higher are of Latino descent. They have Latin, 92 00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:19,120 Speaker 2: you know, Spanish last name. And why is that? Because 93 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:22,720 Speaker 2: we know that it is important to keep this country safe. 94 00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:26,800 Speaker 2: We know that it is important to secure our border, 95 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:30,960 Speaker 2: to secure our streets. So when you have law enforcement 96 00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:37,080 Speaker 2: agents with Latino last name apprehending, enforcing the laws, and 97 00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:40,320 Speaker 2: taking bad people from the streets, and then you have 98 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:48,000 Speaker 2: crazy lunatic white liberals, you know they're crazy during the opposite, 99 00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:53,719 Speaker 2: that's just so insane, it's so dumb, and it's out 100 00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:56,880 Speaker 2: of my capacity to think that that is the right 101 00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:57,240 Speaker 2: thing to do. 102 00:05:57,680 --> 00:05:59,120 Speaker 3: We've got to get you to Chicago. 103 00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:00,760 Speaker 1: We've got to get you to Kaga to open a 104 00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:03,880 Speaker 1: Sammy's here, because there's a community here that would welcome you. 105 00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:06,600 Speaker 1: Could you imagine Nick, what what Ray Lopez? How these 106 00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:09,600 Speaker 1: two could work together, Sammy. There is common sense in Chicago. 107 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:12,840 Speaker 1: It's not very apparent from AFAR because nobody talks about it, 108 00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:14,800 Speaker 1: just like nobody wants to talk about your story. And 109 00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:17,280 Speaker 1: when they do, they want to they want to purport 110 00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:19,520 Speaker 1: you with some kind of a bad guy. Now, I 111 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,920 Speaker 1: know that that you have gotten people that don't like 112 00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:25,240 Speaker 1: you serving police. They don't like the way you talk 113 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:28,160 Speaker 1: or what you stand for. How has that hurt your restaurant? 114 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:30,920 Speaker 1: Because I would think now you're probably going to see 115 00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:33,680 Speaker 1: some positives coming out of this talking to radio stations 116 00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:34,920 Speaker 1: like US, and I know you're going to be on 117 00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,240 Speaker 1: the news, so I know you're going to do well here. 118 00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:40,039 Speaker 1: But in the interim, I know that they don't like 119 00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:42,360 Speaker 1: your politics. I know that you ran for for a 120 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,240 Speaker 1: I believe a Senate seat there in Arizona, and when 121 00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:47,520 Speaker 1: you did so, they started to hit you with really 122 00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:49,880 Speaker 1: bad reviews and things like that, say that your restaurant 123 00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:52,880 Speaker 1: was closed because they they you know, they purport to 124 00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:56,799 Speaker 1: love immigrants and what Democrats and and and Democrats love immigrants, 125 00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:58,719 Speaker 1: but they they don't like people that don't go along 126 00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:01,360 Speaker 1: lockstep with their message, with their messaging. 127 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:07,680 Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, first of all, we've been supporting, you know, 128 00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,960 Speaker 2: people that run for office that have similar values that 129 00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:15,640 Speaker 2: we do, and especially we started supporting Donald Trump in 130 00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:19,440 Speaker 2: twenty sixteen when first he was first running for you know, 131 00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:22,200 Speaker 2: yours president. And when he came to Tucson back in 132 00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:26,240 Speaker 2: March twenty sixteen to the SUS Convention Center, I made 133 00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:30,160 Speaker 2: a sign that says Latino support Donald Trump. Because by 134 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:33,320 Speaker 2: that time we already knew that the media, especially Sinye 135 00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:37,600 Speaker 2: speaking media, was saying that all Latinos hated Trump, and 136 00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:41,800 Speaker 2: that was incorrect. Because of my customers, we knew that 137 00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:43,760 Speaker 2: there were a lot of people that supported him, but 138 00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:47,360 Speaker 2: many of them were afraid to speak out loud. And 139 00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:50,480 Speaker 2: and you know, coming from where I come from, I 140 00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:54,280 Speaker 2: don't have the I don't have the luxury to be afraid. 141 00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:56,800 Speaker 2: I have to speak up. I have to send up 142 00:07:56,840 --> 00:08:00,240 Speaker 2: for what is right. Well, especially in a country like 143 00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:02,920 Speaker 2: the United to state what it gives you the opportunity 144 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:07,320 Speaker 2: and the freedom to express yourself. This is so we 145 00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:10,640 Speaker 2: have been attacked before that they have tried to shut 146 00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,560 Speaker 2: down our business and the first time was extremely scary 147 00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:16,520 Speaker 2: because we did not know what's going to happen. But lastly, 148 00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:18,800 Speaker 2: for us, there are so many great people, say, so 149 00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:22,160 Speaker 2: many patriotic people who stand up for what is right, 150 00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:25,000 Speaker 2: and they have come to help us. And this time 151 00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:28,880 Speaker 2: we are not where we are. We feel that also, 152 00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:30,800 Speaker 2: we are on the right side of the law. We 153 00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:34,080 Speaker 2: know God is on our side and will be just fine. 154 00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:37,520 Speaker 2: So thank you for the opportunity to expressing myself to 155 00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:40,200 Speaker 2: tell those Americans out there not to be afraid to 156 00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:43,319 Speaker 2: speak up and stand up, because if you do, if 157 00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:45,600 Speaker 2: you do not stand up right now, you're going to 158 00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:48,400 Speaker 2: lose it. And when you do, when you realize, it's 159 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:49,320 Speaker 2: going to be too late. 160 00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:52,760 Speaker 1: Sammy, God bless you man.
