00:00Thanks for being here today, Rogan.
00:01If I can also answer your question, as far as the judges, look, we just arrested the judge,
00:07for impeding ICE enforcement removals.
00:12I said from day one, you don't have to support ICE's operations.
00:18You can support sanctuary cities if that's what you desire to do.
00:21Sanctuary cities can stand aside and watch ICE keep their community safe,
00:25because any public official, whether you're mayor, city councilman, or governor,
00:29their number one responsibility is protecting the communities.
00:32And ICE has been clear we're targeting public safety threats and national security threats.
00:36I can't believe there's any elected official, and especially a judge,
00:39that doesn't believe we should be doing that, and they should be helping us.
00:43But ICE has been day one.
00:44You can sit aside and watch.
00:45You can argue against us all you want and protest all you want.
00:48But when you cross that line, I've said this a thousand times,
00:52when you cross that line to impediment or knowingly harboring concealing an illegal alien from ICE,
00:57you will be prosecuted.
01:00Judge or not.
01:01And as far as releasing so many people, you know why the Biden administration released millions of people in the United States?
01:07No one ever talks about it.
01:07I'll talk about it.
01:09Why did they release people into the interior of the United States rather than put them into an ICE bed?
01:14Why not put them in an empty ICE bed at $127 a night rather than in a hotel room at $500 a night?
01:20They did it on purpose.
01:22Because when you put them in ICE detention bed, they get a hearing in 35 days.
01:26Court records show 9 out of 10 people claim asylum, get an order removal, they're gone.
01:31But if you release them and put them in a hotel room at $500 a night,
01:34their hearings can be five, seven, nine years, you pull out all appeals.
01:39And what are they hoping for then?
01:40That another Democrat administration is in power.
01:43They can warrant amnesty to millions.
01:44This is about selling this country off for future political power.
01:50That's what it was.
01:52The law clearly says if you arrive at our border without proper documentation, you shall be detained.
01:57Not maybe, not think about it, shall.
01:59And that's what President Trump's doing.
02:02Catching Lisa's over.
02:03That's what the law says and that's what we've done.
02:05That's what the law says and that's what we've done.
