O'REILLY: ... All right. Now we just had a discussion on the border and the chaotic immigration. And you're in Texas, you're the governor, what do you do about the border?
FRIEDMAN: Well, my plan is to bring back like the Bracero Program (search) from 1944 that ran for 20 years where the Mexican government vets these people. I mean, they pay for it, and they get green cards, and they're actually legitimate. And then seal the border.
O'REILLY: Do you trust the Mexicans to do that?
FRIEDMAN: Well, we -- it would probably have -- it would be both sides, 679 miles-- fair to both sides. Definitely I would seal the border by bringing in the -- I think you're basically right about that.
O'REILLY: The National Guard.
FRIEDMAN: Bring in the National Guard, the Texas Rangers (search), the entire Polish Army, whatever it takes.
O'REILLY: Well, you could -- as Governor Friedman, you can call the Guard out and you can put the Guard right behind the federal Border Patrol. Arnold Schwarzenegger could do that tomorrow if he so desired.
FRIEDMAN: And I want them to help. I mean, good fences...
O'REILLY: Absolutely. That's what they're there for.
FRIEDMAN: ...Good fences make good neighbors, and, Mr. Fox, help us build that fence.
O'REILLY: Well, don't count on help from Mr. Fox because he's getting so much money from this illegal immigration back there.
FRIEDMAN: That's true.
O'REILLY: That's the scam. And don't count on the Mexican government vetting anybody because you can buy anything in Mexico, as you know, including a Green Card. All right, but you've got half of a good idea there, all right. And it was spiritual. I like that.
Now, when you take this on, are you going to attack the governor? Are you going to go in there and carve him up, or are you going to be spiritual in that?
FRIEDMAN: I think this is a place above politics. It's above the governor. I'm -- I want to knock down the windmill of politics as usual, OK? I want to do it like Rosa Parks (search) had a big enemy, segregation.
O'REILLY: Right.
FRIEDMAN: Natan Sharansky (search), the Soviet Union. This is a very big enemy, and the size of your enemy...
O'REILLY: So phony politicians are your main goal? You want to get them out?
FRIEDMAN: I would say. I would say. Yes, when democracy is flourishing in Iraq and in Lebanon and places like that, it's being stifled in Texas. That's...
O'REILLY: Do you really believe that democracy is being stifled in Texas?
FRIEDMAN: I believe that voices like Ross Perot (search), Pat Buchanan, Ralph Nader should be heard. They don't have to be president. Give 'em a chance. That's what the guys at the Alamo died for, is to give us a choice besides plastic or paper.
