In the middle of his speech Monday to members of the American Farm Bureau Federation, President Donald Trump was explaining the need for a wall on the southern border when the president asked a 79-year-old Arizona rancher to come on stage and say a few words. Sporting a white cowboy hat and bolo tie, Jim Chilton walked to the stage and said, "Mr. President, we need a wall," prompting the crowd of roughly 6,000 people to stand and cheer at the New Orleans convention center. "We need a wall all around, all the length of the border. We have got to stop the drug packers bringing drugs in to poison our people."
