| When people ask me that, when they begin to tell me about what's happening on reservations and what's taking place and what's taking place in America and all the woes and all this crazy stuff that happened in America, I'll just say, welcome to the reservation. | |
| Because James Watt, the Secretary of Interior, he was the when Reagan was president, he said, if you ever want to see socialism, the failure of socialism, go to the reservation. | |
| Wow. | |
| See, socialism, we already, reservation people already know what that is. | |
| They lived it. | |
| They've already been, they've been living it. | |
| And so I don't know why people can't see the writing on the wall. | |
| I mean, I don't understand that. | |
| If they don't understand it and they can march up and down the streets wanting socialism, I like to take them and put them on a reservation and let them live for about a year and then they'll get a taste of socialism. | |
| I don't think people really know what socialism is. | |
| When you depend totally on the government for everything, when you have to depend upon the government for everything, and when you have to answer to the Bureau of Indian Affairs and Department of Interior and all these things, a lot of people say, well, that's Indian land reservation. | |
| That's good. | |
| The Indians live on reservation. | |
| That's wonderful. | |
| It's not wonderful, and it's not their land. | |
| It's still government land. | |
| We still have to answer to the government, to the Bureau of Indian Affairs, Department of Interior. | |
| That's the reason they cannot have their own businesses on Indian land, on reservations. | |
| They can't build their own wall marks or own businesses on reservations because they have to answer to the government for everything. | |
| And if the government won't let you for whatever reason, you don't get it. | |
