18:07Anybody else?
18:14Thank you, thank you, sir.
18:20The Democrats have really let them down.
18:35They've really let them down.
18:37They had this great opportunity.
18:39The Democrats have really let them down.
18:41It's a shame.
18:42And now people have taken advantage of DACA, and that's a shame.
18:46It should have never happened.
18:48So who's this list?
18:53Who's this list?
18:55Anybody else?

19:17You all right?
19:18You all right?
19:19It's in our debate room.
19:24Thank you everybody, thank you.
19:54Ladies and gentlemen, the President of the United
20:24States and Mrs. Trump, accompanied by the Easter Bunny.
20:30Ladies and gentlemen, Gunnery Sergeant Sarah Sheffield
20:50and the President's own United States Marine Band,
20:53performing the National Anthem.
20:56Oh, say can you see, with dawn's early light,
21:06what so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming,
21:15whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight
21:24o'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?
21:33And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
21:43gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
21:53Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
22:04o'er the land of the free
22:09and the home of the brave?
22:16Oh, it's a beautiful day.
22:30This is a beautiful day.
22:37Welcome to the 2019 White House Easter Egg Roll.
22:47This is 141 years that we've been doing this.
22:52I don't remember the first one, but the last three years,
22:55we've had an awfully good time.
22:58And I have to thank our First Lady.
23:00She worked so hard on this event.
23:02And without her, it would not be like it is.
23:05It's as beautiful as I've ever seen it.
23:08So, Melania, thank you very much.
23:10Fantastic job. Thank you, honey.
23:12I also want to thank the White House Historical Association
23:16for the incredible job they do.
23:17They work with the First Lady and all of us
23:20on just making the White House
23:21and keeping the White House a special place.
23:24It is, to me, the most special place.
23:27There can't be anything like it.
23:29And we take it really very seriously.
23:31And it's in great shape.
23:33That I can tell you. It's in great shape.
23:35Also, our incredible Marine Corps Band.
23:39Thank you very much. Beautiful.
23:41Wouldn't be the same without you.
23:44And a group of people that do a wonderful job.
23:49I love them. I know they like me, too.
23:52It's the egg farmers of this country.
23:56The egg farmers.
23:58And they brought thousands and thousands of eggs.
24:01I don't know if you can use them all,
24:02but I have a feeling with these young,
24:05very ambitious children, they're going to find a reason.
24:07They'll be gone. They'll all be gone.
24:10And maybe most importantly,
24:11I want to wish everybody a very happy Easter.
24:13Our country is doing fantastically well.
24:16Probably the best it's ever done economically.
24:19We're setting records on stock markets.
24:22We're setting records with jobs.
24:23And unemployment numbers are the lowest they've ever been.
24:27Fifty years in many groups.
24:29And historically, the lowest numbers we've ever had.
24:33Regulations, low taxes.
24:35Our country has never done better.
24:37And do we love our military.
24:39Our military is building,
24:41is literally being completely rebuilt.
24:44We are completely rebuilding our military.
24:49It was very depleted, as you know.
24:51A lot of the military folks can tell you.
24:53And it is being rebuilt to a level
24:55that we have never seen before.
24:57All with great product.
24:59The best product in the world.
25:00And you know where it's made?
25:02In the USA.
25:03That's where it's made.
25:04It's all made right here.
25:06So, again, happy Easter.
25:08Enjoy yourselves.
25:09And I'm coming down right now to be with you.
25:12First Lady is coming with me.
25:13And maybe I'll get this great Easter buddy
25:16to come with us.
25:17Thank you very much, everybody.
25:18Happy Easter.
25:21Thank you very much.
