00:24We saw over the last four years in an administration that was really soft on crime that, you know, turned a blind eye to all that was going on at our border, in our cities, releasing people back on the streets.
00:36We've had a major issue with that. And again, I think it sends a message to folks going forward that it's not going to be tolerated.
00:42So, yes, to your point, I think there's some symbolism there, but it's also something that will be a valuable facility going forward.
