  • (gunshot)

  • - How old was Jake the first time he shot a gun?

  • - Six years old.

  • (whooshing) (suspenseful music)

  • - I figured that we were gonna be put with a family

  • that was opposite, but I think I grossly underestimated

  • just how different a family could be from mine.

  • Guns, and guns hanging on the walls.

  • I think maybe they're homeschoolers.

  • Oh.

  • They have a picture of a man with a sombrero in handcuffs.

  • I mean, this is like polar opposite of us.

  • - I thought it was sweet how welcoming Telly was.

  • Hi.

  • - Welcome, welcome, welcome to my house.

  • Thank you for coming.

  • (speaking Spanish)

  • Say hello!

  • So today was the first day that the swap was here.

  • It was very interesting.

  • "I voted for Trump because of the economy",

  • "Man, you gotta be okay with racism",

  • "But the economy!"

  • "He hates women."

  • "But the economy."

  • "Yeah, but daughter, he's gonna grab her,

  • "you better look out."

  • - I am a Trump supporter.

  • - These white women are still voting for men

  • that still believe that that's their place.

  • That they come second to men.

  • - Kinda felt like I was thrown into the lion's den.

  • - She hasn't come out and called us racists.

  • She's made a couple of insinuations.

  • But never straight up come out and said it.

  • - There was picture on the table of somebody dressed up

  • with a sombrero in handcuffs.

  • - I gotcha.

  • - And I think you were dressed up as Donald Trump.

  • - I was, yes.

  • - That was really offensive for me to see.

  • - I can read people pretty well,

  • and what I'm reading is she's into the

  • pushing her ideals on us, a lot more than trying

  • to learn from us.

  • - I promised that I would try things once,

  • so I have agreed to go to gun range.

  • - So to give you a little story, my father,

  • first gun I shot I was five years old.

  • I actually shot a .38, like what my son is shooting now.

  • (gunshots)

  • There you go.

  • - I don't think that anything is gonna change his love

  • for his guns and the Second Amendment.

  • So, no, I don't think that's gonna change at all,

  • hearing my point of view.

  • - Today we implemented my rules.

  • We will not talk politics at all.

  • I think too often we let politics get in the way.

  • - I would have never had someone who voted for Trump

  • in my house before this swap.

  • - Mm.

  • Wow.

  • - I understand that it made her feel uncomfortable,

  • but those are conversations that need to be had.

  • - New rule, homeschooling about what else

  • makes America great.

  • We'll see how he digs that.

  • Think it's gonna be a little bit more intense

  • than he's used to with his homeschooling.

  • So, we'll see.

  • - She kind of presented it like I wouldn't know,

  • even though I have traveled outside of the country,

  • been to a lot of foreign countries.

  • I've been to Mexico, I've been to Puerto Rico,

  • I've been to Hispanic countries.

  • - Mexican Americans often serve as high government officials

  • as well as local mayors, sheriffs, and school board members.

  • - They're not Mexican Americans they're Americans.

  • - Mm-hm, you're right; they're just of Mexican descent.

  • That's why they call them Mexican Americans.

  • - We flip that in our house.

  • Americans of Mexican descent.

  • - I felt like I got a lot of pushback from both of them,

  • and I did not feel very successful in that.

  • - I'm interested to see how the interaction

  • between the two guys goes.

  • Hopefully it can be more of a meeting of minds

  • than telenovela or World War III.

  • - You don't understand how much immigrants

  • actually help America.

  • - To be perfectly honest, white folks,

  • we don't even think about it.

  • - You think that you live a certain way,

  • and the society has come to a level of understanding,

  • or a level of being that is a lot more inclusive

  • and forgiving

  • than it really is.

  • It's kind of scary when it's thrown in your face.

  • (suspenseful music ending)
