00:00President, Mr. President, you had set a 90-day deadline through an executive order for Secretary
00:08Higstead and Noam to review whether to recommend to you whether to invoke the Insurrection Act
00:14to send troops to the southern border. Is that something you're still considering?
00:18Well, I'm talking to them, and it's not hard and fast, but I'm talking to them,
00:23and I will tell you that the border is the most secure it's ever been.
00:27We have never had anything like it. And when you said, Trisky, before, it's 99.999,
00:36and I guess that means one person, maybe, or two people. It's actually turned out to be three people
00:42came across the border versus hundreds of thousands of people under Biden. And we're talking about
00:48people coming. Look, people, they have souls, they have hearts. Many of them are good. But we have a
00:55country that's under siege. We have a country that really is under, I think it's under attack. In
01:01many ways, worse than under attack, because there are no uniforms. You don't know who the attacker is.
01:06So you really don't. It's not like you're fighting an army. You're fighting people. You don't even know
01:10who they are. But 11,888 murderers, many of them murdered far more than one person, are roaming. Now,
01:20some of them have already been caught. A lot of them have already been caught and taken out.
01:24But we're being impeded by judges from doing our job. And hopefully that situation is going to be
01:30solved, because I think nobody wants to have murderers and people from jail. And I mean for
01:36serious, serious crime. I remember the Biden people used to say, no, these are aliens that came
01:43into our country and they don't commit crime. I said, they don't commit crime. They commit worse
01:48crime. They make our criminals. Some of these people that they've allowed in through open border
01:53policies, the dumbest thing I've ever seen. You can look at some of these people and you say,
01:58this is not going to end well. But the people that they've allowed into our country are making our
02:05criminals look like the nicest people on earth. I will tell you, these are serious criminals.
02:11These are violent criminals. These are people that would kill you and wouldn't lose an ounce of
02:16sleep. And they wake up the next morning and they don't even remember it. This is a rough, rough,
02:21tough group of people. And we've got to get them out of our country. And the law says, I believe,
02:27I hope, and I think Pam will be very successful in proving it. But we've run into, I would call them
02:33rogue judges. Somebody could criticize me for that. These are rogue judges. These are radical
02:38left, generally radical left, horrible judges. And we didn't lose all of these people. You know,
02:46we've lost a lot of people to death and to rape all sorts of crimes committed by the people that
02:54poured into our country. And they came in totally unimpeded. Just come on in. And you see it every
03:01night, you'd see thousands and tens of thousands of people pouring into our country. We have no idea
03:07who they are. And to this day, we're looking for people. We have no idea. We hear that we have
03:14terrorists in our country that are so bad, they couldn't stay in any other country. But we're
03:19getting them out. And the group between Pete and Christy and Tom Holman and everybody working together,
03:26people that you would least suspect are reporting them getting it. And the public is reporting them.
03:32The public is saying, the public is calling and they're saying, you know, I live in a house and
03:37next to me moved in a group of people and they are very violent. And we'd go and we'd find out and
03:43we'd say, yeah, you're right. They were really violent. And we have information on most of them.
03:48So I just think it's incredible what's taken place. But we right now have a very, very secure border.
03:54Right now, we have the most secure border in the history of our country. So I don't think we have to worry about your question too much.
