Marco Gutierrez stumbled into national prominence with his claim that, if Hillary Clinton is elected, "you are going to have taco trucks on every corner." This delicious-if-overwhelming scenario was one of the more bizarre predictions on record. But the stranger thing was that Gutierrez, the son of Mexican immigrants and an immigrant, himself, was the one to make it. So last night, Samantha Bee sent a correspondent to find out what his deal is.

Gutierrez apparently made a killing in the real estate game out in California before his empire collapsed during the 2008 crisis. In the years since, he's gotten himself into all kinds of trouble through some sketchy business dealings and has lost his license. As Bee's correspondent, Mike Rubens, pointed out, he has more than a little in common with his new messiah, Donald Trump.

However, like so many of those who have latched onto Trump's coattails, Gutierrez is a good old-fashioned grifter. He is clearly in this to achieve some kind of minor publicity off of which he can make a buck. Bee's team caught him on camera trying to hook some real estate business after speaking at a Latinos for Trump rally—which may have been in violation of California state law.

The key exchange, though, came when Rubens asked him about his support for the big man. "With Trump, are you ever concerned that it's all a scam?" It genuinely seemed like he had never considered this possibility before this moment. To Gutierrez, Trump's agenda is largely irrelevant. His campaign represents a personal opportunity.

Of course, all that should maybe take a back seat to what Gutierrez said towards the beginning of this interview. "As Hispanics," he said matter-of-factly, "We are a primitive and underdeveloped culture."

Having dispatched with Gutierrez, Bee moved on to Matt Lauer. Lauer was widely panned for his performance as moderator at NBC's brand spankin' new "Commander-in-Chief" forum last week.
