Charlie Kirk’s executive producer: “What is an American? …. Just by stats, by history, yeah, white probably helps be an American.”

ANDREW KOLVET (CO-HOST): Yeah. But this is interesting because I want to contrast this in our final minute here with the what — I know we don’t have to play the clip, but Matt Walsh went after Maria Elvira Salazar, who’s a Republican out of Miami. She’s Cuban. I believe she’s born in America. Right? Am I — am I wrong?

JACK POSOBIEC (CO-HOST): In Miami. Yeah.

KOLVET: Born in Miami. Still has a very thick Hispanic accent, Latin accent. But she’s a Republican, former TV anchor, and Matt Walsh is coming under some fire for saying “deport her. She’s not an American.” So he’s saying she’s not American.

But when I see that clip, it feels completely different. You know? Now I — we have blasted Maria Elvira Salazar for her soft amnesty push probably more than anybody else, actually. But I would say, like, you know, Cubans, the ones that have come to America and largely are in Florida, they embody an American ethos to me. Like, when I look at it, they’re grateful.

POSOBIEC: Our secretary of state is Cuban.

KOLVET: Yeah. Yeah, exactly. Marco Rubio is 10 out of 10. They’re grateful. They love our — they love markets. They love the Constitution, the rule of law. They’re anti-tyrant. They’re anti — I mean, they have so much about them that I love and that I naturally feel kinship with.

And so, again, it’s sort of like, what is an American? It’s not necessarily — I even wrote in my little thing. I didn’t read that part, but it’s most likely you’re white. I mean, just by stats, by history, yeah, white probably helps be an American.

But if you’re not white, don’t be antagonistic to those who are, and don’t be bitter about it. Be grateful to live in the country. I think those things matter still. Right? And I guess, you know, if you go down certain rabbit holes online that wouldn’t fly.

For me, it does, especially when I look at the Cuban community in in Miami. But I would say, like, in general, we have to — I would love to see us do immigration moratorium. We going to deal with how many we’ve had come in this country who are not American, and yet they’re living here. They’re walking around us, and they don’t represent kinship or community or brotherhood from a nation standpoint.
