00:00No.
00:01Mexico's president is claiming they can offer to send U.S. troops into Mexico.
00:06She said that she didn't want them to Mexico.
00:09Is that true?
00:10Can you tell us about those policies?
00:11So Mexico is saying that I offered to send U.S. troops into Mexico to take care of the cartel.
00:17She wants to know, is that true?
00:19Do you think I'm going to answer that question?
00:21That's why I'm asking for, see?
00:23I will answer it.
00:24It's true.
00:25And why did you do that?
00:27Because they should be — they are horrible people that have been killing people left
00:32and right, that have been — they've made a fortune on selling drugs and destroying
00:37our people.
00:38We've lost 300,000 people last year to fentanyl and drugs.
00:42They're bad news.
00:43Yeah, that's true.
00:44If Mexico wanted help with the cartels, we would be honored to go in and do it.
00:49I told her that.
00:50I would be honored to go in and do it.
00:52The cartels are trying to destroy our country.
00:55They're evil.
00:56And, you know, we had 300,000 people die last year from fentanyl and all of that.
01:01We had hundreds — we had millions of people brought into this country that shouldn't
01:05be here.
01:06The cartels brought them in.
01:07So if she said that I offered to do that, she's 100 percent right.
01:11And are you disappointed that she denied that request when she doesn't want to?
01:14Well, she's so afraid of the cartels, she can't walk.
01:16So, you know, that's the reason.
01:17And I think she's a lovely woman.
01:19But the president of Mexico is a lovely woman.
01:24But she is so afraid of the cartels that she can't even think straight.
