Speaker 1 (00:00):
Talking about this this Ohio House Bill.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
I don't know what where it is right now in
the process House Bill six seventy one. They're calling it
the America First Bill, and got some wires cross somewhere.
I was expecting Representative Gary Klick in the first half hour,
and I thought one thing, he thought another. But anyway,
I understand he is standing by on the Legacy Retirement
Group dot com phone lines right now, So let's get
(00:22):
him in here. Representative click how are you?
Speaker 3 (00:25):
I am terrific, Thank you for having me on. My
apologies for the big stuff. That's a responsibility.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
It's probably Zach's fault. Most things are we have. We
have a little bit of time here.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
I wanted to get right from the horse's mouth, as
they say, where are we on this House Bill six
seventy one?
Speaker 1 (00:45):
Is this?
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Is it in the talking stages, the committee stages? Is
there any voting going on, any discussion?
Speaker 1 (00:50):
Where is it?
Speaker 3 (00:52):
So we are in the very very early stages of
this bill. In fact, anything that's not introduced before you know,
June of the second year of a General Assembly, there's
no guarantee that it gets any hearings, and in fact
very likely not to and that's just the way the
process is. But I didn't want to wait to the
(01:12):
next Journal Assembly. I'm wanted to get this out. I
wanted to start talking about it. Most likely we're going
to have to reintroduce this in the next Journal Assembly.
But this is so big that I just didn't think.
I just didn't want to hold onto it. I didn't
want to wait. I wanted to get it out there
and start talking about it and start building the momentum.
Because immigration is according to Baldwin Walls Pole, it's the
(01:34):
third most important thing to Ohioans right now, right after
biden plation and right after the economy. It's immigration. And
we are limited in what we can do as a state.
But because we are limited doesn't mean we are totally powerless.
And so this approaches immigration from a state level.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
Are you getting Are you getting any kind of response
from your fellow legislators as partisan is I'm assuming it
probably is. If you're getting any.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
Kind of at all, it is one hundred percent partisan.
And the those who want to open borders, you know,
they want to call the xcopubic and racist and all
this kind of stuff. I mean, they don't have real
facts all they can do is try to smear your
name and say, why are you trying to scare us,
and all this kind of stuff which has nothing to
(02:22):
do with it. I'm trying to protect the integrity of
our nation. If we have no borders, we have no country.
And the fact is, in my own district, my own district,
in the last ten years, we've had four homicides by
illegal aliens, and by the way, every victim was a minority.
What really really stirs me up is just recently, I
(02:44):
mean within the last month, we had an illegal immigrant
who was sent to eleven years in prison for raping
his twelve year old dace, who is also illegal. But
he told her and he manipulated her, and he said
if you tell, if you tell, you'll get shipped back
(03:04):
to Mexico. And so this I mean illegal imrant. There's
we love good immigrants. We love and when I say
good immigrants, we love people who follow the policy, just
go by the books, come through the front door, don't
come through the back door. And people without self discipline,
people with low morals, will take the easiest path, the
(03:27):
path of least resistance, And right now that's just coming
across the border without any documentation, without any permission with
and coming across illegally, and we want to tighten up
this this method and say, okay, come through the front door.
This method coming across illegally, coming across without permission is
going to be too hard for you. But if you
(03:49):
choose to do that, then you go to Michigan, you
go to Indiana, you go to Pennsylvania, you go to Kentucky.
But don't come to Ohio. We are not throwing off
the welcome matt for illegal aliens.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
Representative Arey click by the way, if you just jump
it on from OHIOA House district to eighty eighty introducing
House Bill six seventy one, making it illegal to be
illegal in the state of Ohio. I don't know if
you were able to listen to the first half of
the show A Representative Clique, but what I was saying
essentially was, you know what we're doing here is Farmer
Brown's property. People are out there on Farmer Brown's property,
and the sheriff's deputies drive on by because there's nobody
(04:20):
saying even though they're trespassing it's private property, nobody says anything.
So Farmer Brown calls in and says, come get them. Now,
we have a complainant. This bill essentially allows Ohio to
be a complainant. We can do something about the people
walking around our property.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
Well, absolutely you can, because you know I ins these
days doesn't want to have anything to do with them.
They just say, okay, well, it's all them to come
back or later or whatever, you know, give them ring
check or whatever they want to call it. Well, and
there's nothing that our local law enforcement can do. This
put the tool in the hands of our local law enforcement.
And if you are illegal in the United States, that
(04:58):
makes it illegal to be in af Ohio, and that
means you get a five hundred dollars fine plus one
year in jail. As soon as you're out, you've got
seventy two hours legal Ohio. The second time, everything is doubled,
and pretty soon you're going to get the message. If
you're going to be illegal, don't be illegal in Ohio.
Go somewhere else and do it. And hopefully some other
(05:20):
states will pick this up and do the same thing.
We can't create. We can't manage immigration, but we can't
support the laws that are already on the books, and
so we can't say who's legal to be in the states,
and who's not legal to be in the states. But
we can't say that if it's illegal to be in
the USA, then it's illegal to be in Ohio.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Tell me a little bit about yourself before I have
to say goodbye. It's our first time ever speaking. Let's
begin with where the heck is Victory, Ohio. I've grown
up here.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
Yeah. Well, let me put it this way. When my
family moved there eighteen years ago, we increased the population
by six percent.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
It's a small little town, unincorporated in Sandusky County. We
are just about two miles south of my house, about
two miles south of Sandusky Bay and uh and so
we've been there for eighteen years. My other vocation, my
higher calling, is I am a pastor pastor of church
in Fremont, Ohio. I've been doing that for eighteen years.
(06:15):
I know.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
And as I was just there last month, we are you.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
Well, you should have stopped them and said, hey, didn't
know you were there. I would give me the give
me a call next time. I'll buy you a cup
of coffee, right, and I'll buy you a lunch or something.
But you know, I've been in the legislature for four years.
I'm finishing up my second term, getting ready to head
into my third term. And you know, I carried this
Safe Act that says no sex changes from miners, and
(06:42):
the Save Women's Sports it says, you know, no boys
playing in girls' sports. So you know, the liberals really
hate me. Uh, you know. And now we're fighting on
issue one, and i'd encourage all your listeners to vote
no on Issue one U. But you know, one of
my friends, Beth Leier, said today, she says, remember, the
people that wants you to vote yes on this U
one are the same people that believe that men can
(07:03):
have babies, and so pick your side.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Well, yeah, and nobody's understanding either. These six people are
going to be picked by someone, they're going to be
appointed by someone, they're going to be empowered by someone,
and they're not being taken out by anyone. Think about
that before you change our constitution to allow something like that.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
So I show people a map, a big Redden map.
It's red with some dots of blue, and I say,
who do you think won this? And they've always say
Republicans And I have to say no, this is twenty twelve.
Barack Obama met Romney, and the problem that Democrats have
is not a gerrymandering problem. It's a geography problem. Out
cluster in the big cities. And what does that mean.
(07:46):
That means that they don't spread out. So in the
big cities, in Franklin County and Cuyahoga County and places
like that, they win by eighty to ninety percent margins.
There's no reason for Republican to win. But you don't
have to win by that to be to cure in
your seat. Five ten points is great, good enough, And
so they want to the thing. They can have two choices.
(08:08):
They can either spread out, move out of the big
cities and spread their votes out that light, or they
can jerrymander. And they've chosen to jerrymander because they don't
want to leave the big cities, and so they got
to draw all these lines out. Then the word jerrymandering
comes from Elbridge Jerry, one of our founding fathers, signer
of the Declaration of Independence and also the fifth Vice
(08:31):
President of the United States. He knew how to draw
maps to favor his political party, and when he did,
people looked at and said, that looks like a salamander.
That's so crazy of a map. And so they took
his name Jerry and salamander, combined it together, and that's
where you get Jerry.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
I never heard that.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
No, it's it's absolutely true. And if you would look
at our state map, by the way you hear the
libtards talk about it, you would think they're a Salomon
all over. And I was talking in the forum last
week and I said, look at this, here's the congressional maps.
Do you see any salamanders? Know? Do you see the
the Senate maps? No? Do you see the state house maps? No,
(09:13):
there's no salamanders all over there. They don't. They the
only way they can win is to cheat, cheat, cheat,
and that's what they're trying to do. And when they're
trying to say their only goal is to say, you
have this many Republicans and this many Democrats, Well, why
the heck do we even vote if we're just going
to let some bureaucrats tell us how many Republicans and
(09:34):
how many Democrats were them to just appoint them. This
makes absolutely no sense. It's probably not even constitutional. I
haven't heard him say this, but there's no doubt in
my mind. And if this were to pass that age,
YO should file a lawsuit because it's unconstitutional. If you
really want to make Ohio the state wide average work
(09:56):
across the state, why don't we just make every district,
you know, fifty four forty six. Then the Democrats would
have no seats and the Ohio would be much better off.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
Wow, that's creative. Nobody will ever go for it, but
it's very creative. The next time you are down here
in Columbus to attend a session at the State House
or something, get in touch with me, get in touch
with Zach or something. I'd love you have dropped by
the studio and spend some time on the air with me.
I think we'll get along.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
I would love to. That would be great.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
Stand precative.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
Gary. Are you on the ballot?
Speaker 3 (10:22):
By the way, this year, I am on the ballot.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Oh you are? You're gonna do Okay, you feel good?
You're feeling good about it?
Speaker 3 (10:28):
Yeah? Well I beat the same opponent sixty eight to
thirty two last time.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
Okay, have a sandwich. You're good.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
Oh yeah, I'm great. Yeah, don't worry.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Wake of Vickary Ohio's eighty eight thousd district. Thank you
sir very much, you have a wonderful evening, and thanks
for getting on the phone with me about this House

Speaker 1 (10:44):
