Presidential Candidate Ryan Binkley ~ A Refreshing Latecomer to the GOP 2024 RaceRyan Binkley and Gene do a 'deep dive' into the Southern Border debacle, Immigration, and a 7-year Economic Recovery Plan. He is an entrepreneur that has stepped up from Dallas, Texas to step into the national scene. He is also a pastor of a multi-cultural church and wants to step away from Republican ~ Democrat issues and has a refreshing approach to revitalize the true American passion of patriotism. The Republican Party needs to give Ryan the attention he deserves. He refers to Lincoln's comments about America being the author of our demise, if we don't come together under the rule of law. Ryan focuses on the fact that our Constitution was Divinely inspired. A loss of the moral code behind our laws is essential to restore. Embracing a socialistic form of government is NOT the bedrock of the foundation of our nation. Ryan graciously reminds all of us that we are Americans, and a giving and charitable spirit is now necessary to restore our nation. Ryan is challenging us to expand and grow, and to share this American Dream.

You know, every week we're doing this with people from social, political, economic, entrepreneurial, uh, industry, uh, all different sorts of ways of life. Trying to get a feel of that old Horatio Alger American Gospel of Success, the whole concept of what makes America so great.Today's guest is Ryan Binkley. Ryan is a presidential candidate. Who, you say? Ryan Binkley. And where the heck has he been? Ryan Binkley's out of Dallas, Texas, an entrepreneur, uh, a churchgoer, pastor himself, Ryan, brief introduction from you, please.Ryan Binkley: Well, thank you, Gene. It's great being with you. Hello, everyone. My name is Ryan. I am a CEO of a consulting company based out of Dallas, Texas. I co founded about 20 years ago. We have about 400 employees and about 16 offices across the nation and in Canada. We do merger and acquisitions, business consulting.I'm also a pastor. My wife and I co founded a church and started it about 10 years ago. And, um, I've got five kids, uh, busy and live, but I'm, I'm running as president, uh, presidential candidate, really because I feel called to. At the end of the day right now, our nation's in a lot of trouble, uh, financially, economically, uh, big issues at stake, whether Social Security's going to be able to make it, healthcare is strangling our nation, and I've got some clear plans for that.Uh, we need an economic revival, and also we need a heartfelt spiritual revival. Something is so broken in our country, and I really feel led to speak to it. And what is the message for the Republican party in urban America? How can we unite our country? That's why I'm running. Uh, great to be with you, Gene.Gene Valentino: Uh, Ryan, thank you so much for that introduction. Uh, we both come from the same cloth. We're entrepreneurs, uh, with business backgrounds, a spiritual guidance along the way for me as well. And I will tell you, um, I regret not. Having gotten to know you more.let's talk about border security.What's your plan as a president of this United States on border security? It's such a broadRyan Binkley: based issue. Well, thank you. You know, right now, obviously, everyone knows the problem. You know, it's really big. I mean, we've got millions of people pouring into our country. We really have no idea who they are.Furthermore, we probably have 20 million plus people that have been in our country 20 or 30 years. Really, they came across the border at some point in time and many of us don't know who they are either. They have fake IDs. Many of them have fake social security cards and they're getting by, but many of them have integrated into our country.They own businesses, own homes today, all throughout America. They're doing some very difficult jobs. And so we've got an open border and because of that, we've got a crisis with fentanyl and opioids. You know, Gene, I think it's likely going to kill 100, 000 people in this next year. You know, primarily, uh, young people, 18 to 45.And so, uh, when we've got political polarization, uh, nobody wants to come together to come up with a solution. So we've got the Republicans on one end, they'll want to secure border at the end of the day. We've got to secure it. Uh, President Trump tried to, and valiantly, effort, but didn't have the resources or money from Congress to do it.So I like what he tried to do. He had a slush fund of about 60 million, but at the end of the day, it's about a 30 billion project to get it done, but it's important that we fund it. Yeah.Gene Valentino: Yeah. But one of the things I have concern with that you're bringing up, your intentions are sincere. We listen to other political candidates talk about their same concern.They also describe some righteous indignation over the way we behave. And some of this behavior is actually what has been blocking the ability to, it's not like Donald Trump didn't succeed at the border. To me, it's like he was blocked because of bad behavior. at many fronts. How do you get around the behavior issue?I think there's a, uh, I hate to say it, the root cause, I hate that term, but the root cause of this problem seems to lie more in how the Republicans and Democrats have put themselves ahead of the citizen you're reaching out to here.Ryan Binkley: You know, Gene, I really think it's bigger than that. I think it's not about, you know, President Trump's personality or anything like that.At the end of the day, we're going to have to have a real solution that meets some of the needs in order to get agreement for legislation. And so this is it. This is the political world we're in. Congress holds the power of the purse. Unless we have two thirds of majority in the House and the Senate, which we've never had, I don't think in my lifetime, you know, it's not going to happen because it's a very polarized issue.So what do we got to do? We have a plan called the Security and Dignity Act that funds the border wall, but this is how we get the money. We actually get some votes by coming up with a decent amount of workforce registration, uh, that allows some people that are here. to be here. It gets rid of people that have been here in the last five years.In fact, there's no place for them to stay because it gets rid of sanctuary cities by requiring e verify for every company. It actually gets rid of catch and release. But the way we get the votes, Gene, from independents and some Democrats is, is we allow more workforce registration and actually make them pay a fine.But after 12 years, they can go to the end of the line. And at the end of the day, this is the way to get it done. This is the solution. This is, this is called leadership. And so that's howGene Valentino: we're going to get it done. Ryan, what about the 20 to 30 million who are arguably in the country already illegally?Right. Do you deport them? Uh, whatRyan Binkley: are we going to do? Some of them. Some of them. Our particular plan kind of draws a line in the sand that if you've been here and if you've come in the most recent five years, you have to go home. But if they've been here and not committed any crimes, they've been here for 20 years, they have to come out of the shadows.Let us know who they are. They pay a fine and that fine is about a thousand dollars a year for about 12 years and then after that they can go to the end of the line. There is no jumping the line. There's no doing things illegally. If they, if they committed a crime, listen, if you and I, you know, got a speeding ticket, right, or we, we committed a crime, we're going to pay a fine or we're going to go to jail.At the end of the day, that's what we're going to make this happen. They're going to pay a fine. Going to jail would be the essence of kicking them out of the country. So we're going to do that with probably about 5 million people, the most recent people. But some people have been here a long time and they're doing some work that's about 2 percent of our GDP.And quite frankly, nobody's in line to do. I mean, they're working in meat processing plants, agriculture, construction, they're digging ditches. I mean, construction would shut down throughout the Southwest if we didn't have some labor help. So, you know, we, we, the people that we want to be here will have an opportunity to be here with legal registration and then they can pay taxes.They can pay fines, but they get no federal benefits. All that money goes to pay for the borderGene Valentino: wall. Your plan, uh, border security plan, and all the points in it which I've read, which is why I was excited to meet you today, because on GeneValentino. com as a former county commissioner for two terms, I had the experience of realizing some of the, uh, gridlock that exists in government.And one of the concerns I have is that In, I've created a second bill of rights, which kind of mirrors your 13 points under your plan. Uh, my second bill of rights, like the first bill of rights to the constitution, my second bill of rights has 11 amendments to them, and one of them mirrors what you're talking about.It has to do with the, a plan to, um, I, I, I, I, I baited you earlier when I said, what are you going to do with 20, 30 million people who are, who are here? Well, you're not going to get them all deported. Let's face it. So what are you going to do about it? I believe in a plan that gets the American citizen to step up and sponsor some of these people, bring them in under their wing, enjoy some sort of tax credit for taking them in under their aegis and providing them a, an education and or training path.For them to get to the marketplace and to get into the marketplace, which is what you just mentioned a minute ago, to provide the labor and services that many Americans are ill-equipped or uh, unwilling, uh, uh, uh, to do. And it, it, it gives them, um, and it's all based on your primary comment, a dignity program.It's done out of a sense of, of respect and dignity. Dignity in making them go through a few hoops to be coming. An American. I would want them to know about who George Washington is. Abraham Lincoln. Thomas Jefferson. I mentioned the Bill of Rights a second ago. What is it? It's the first ten amendments to the Constitution.How many Americans know that, let alone the immigrants? And how would you like to comment on that?Ryan Binkley: Well, you know, I think it's a great idea. You know, I think we can do that through corporations and companies, basically people that are employing people today, give them an opportunity to sponsor them. But you know, our plan clearly lays it out.You know, they have no right to citizenship until after 12 years and then no right then, except to go to the end of the line. So, you know, they're not jumping the line. There's so many people that have been waiting 10 or 15 years. I mean, we've got a broken, We have a broken legal immigration system, much less illegal.You know, I pastor, um, you know, Jeanne, a multicultural church, many immigrants there, many of them are their citizens, their vote, but they have family members that have been trying to get here for 15 or 20 years, and they've told me this. They said, Ryan. The Republicans just don't come up with a legal plan.Even for people, you know, it shouldn't take 20 years for a relative to be here, even when they're sponsored. And so, you know, we've got worker needs here. The reality is this, we have a worker shortage problem. We have a population problem in the United States of America. That's why Social Security is broke.There's so many things we need to fix this. We could fix by having more kids, but at the end of the day, this We've got jobs that need to be done and so we have a decent plan to do it and it can get done and it addresses the bigger things but main thing everybody needs to know this. It secures the border permanently.It's not based on a short term plan of putting the military there because once you do that, and when a Democrat's in office in the White House, which will happen again one day, unfortunately, but it could happen again, they're just going to pull them off. So we need a permanent plan that needs to be funded by Congress.It's going to be ongoing. You need ongoing repair. It's going to need ongoing needs. And so it just funds it. It needs to happen in our country and this allows for it.Gene Valentino: So you have just touched on, you mentioned permanent plan. Uh, I proposed in my second bill of rights a permanent constitutional amendment that, uh, you are correct, we shouldn't have to do this, but for fear that some other party with diverse intentions, uh, tries to come back in and, and pull the rug out from under our a good path of growth in this nation.To prevent that, we need a constitutional amendment. Oh, we'll never get a constitutional amendment through Congress at this time. Well, we have the Convention of States people have talked about, I wouldn't mind you addressing. But really, a constitutional amendment that puts in place a mandate that the United States shall protect its borders and with absolute articulation of what that means not only in terms of force, technology, intelligence, uh, monitoring of that border, uh, but, but also an immigration process which you also addressed.Would you address a little bit more of the immigration process and then let's move to economic development?Ryan Binkley: You know, it's a complex issue. Every person's different. Every nation's different. You know, the, that applies here. People apply here. One of our, one of our, um, guys on our advisory team, Admiral Bill Moore, formal admiral, um, on the, uh, worked in the Pentagon, in the Navy, you know, his entire career.Um, you know, his, his wife is, um, Filipino. She had a brother waiting 20 years, I believe, to become, uh, to get entrance in America. Finally got accepted to come, but listen, he was 70 years old. He's like, I've been waiting so long, you know, my life, I'm just going to finish it out here where he is. And so we've got a broken system.We needs to be addressed. Well, you know, there's so many things we can do differently. We just have to take out the inefficiencies in the system, make it work better, more efficient, and it actually meets the worker needs we have. We wouldn't be having a lot of problems that we're having today because the reality is this.People need people to work. I own a couple of restaurants. I've got, I've got a, uh, help wanted to sign up there all the time because we pay 13 an hour for somebody to run a cashier and I, I can't keep that job full. So there's not a lot of people that are willing and want to work some, some hard jobs even to pay a decent wage and they're entry level jobs.But, you know, that's just an example. Uh, people need, people need work done. So once we secure the border, we can allow work registration. We can solve this problem. We can come together and we can fix it. But we need a president that's going to address the issue and actually get it done. And that's why I'm running.Gene Valentino: You mentioned something in your immigration, uh, strategy about, um, uh, humanitarian campuses. You want to describe what those are? Immigration campuses?
