From a September 19, 2024, special event at Sheridan Church, streamed on YouTube

JACKSON LAHMEYER: What I've discovered in your father's first term, it just seemed like the biggest hurdle he had was not necessarily Democrats — 

DONALD TRUMP JR.: No, no. Yeah — 

LAHMEYER: But it was fellow Republicans —

TRUMP: It was Paul Ryan. You know, I mean, we control — and Mitch McConnell, frankly — but, you know, we controlled the House. We controlled the Senate. Paul Ryan — we could've built the wall in five minutes, you know? Instead, we're spending a hundred times more than it would've cost to finish the wall, now annually supporting, you know, the millions and millions of illegal immigrants who, again, if you're, you know, a talented guy from Eastern Europe or from — you know, if you're an actual, like, someone politically being persecuted in, you know, Cuba, you can't get into America because they're like, “No, no, no. We're not voting for socialism.” Like, only those who are going to be active dependents, those people can get in.

You know, before — yeah, because well, because the Democrat party, they've displaced all their reliable voters. They've run roughshod all of them. They’ve treated them like garbage. So they're like, “You know what? I may not just be voting blindly Democrat anymore.” So, like, “OK. If you're not going to do that, we're just going to bring in 20 more people to displace you — 

LAHMEYER: Oh, yeah.

TRUMP: You know, there's a reason they're being put into, you know, 20,000 — you know, they brought in 5% of the population of Haiti. You know, they were eating people in Haiti literally. You know, there was, what was there?  

LAHMEYER: Yeah, oh yeah.

TRUMP: Barbecue the cannibal. I mean, what could go wrong? Let's bring 5% of the population here. We'll stick 20,000 in a town like Springfield, or you know, a population — 

LAHMEYER: I hear that the — 

TRUMP: By the way, a population of 50,000. So it's not like adding 50,000 people to New York City, a population of 8 to 12 million people. You know, you literally, you know, add 50% to the population, and it's only happening in, like, reliable red areas. I wonder why that is. 

LAHMEYER: It’s good. It’s an issue.
