00:00Yes, sir. First, we have a list of pardons and commutations relating to events that occurred on January 6th, 2021.
00:07Okay. And how many people is this?
00:10I think this order will apply to approximately 1,500 people, sir.
00:14So this is January 6th. These are the hostages. Approximately 1,500 for a pardon.
00:22Yes.
00:23Full pardon.
00:26Full pardon or commutation?
00:28Full pardon.
00:31We have about six commutations in there where we're doing further research.
00:37Nice to see you again.
00:46So this is a big one.
00:49Anything you want to explain about this?
00:51We hope they come out tonight, frankly.
00:56We're expecting it.
01:01Approximately 1,500 people.
01:03Six commutations.
01:05Were there any cases you did not see or pardon some people?
01:08We're looking at different things, but the commutations would be the ones that we'll take a look at.
01:14Maybe it'll stay that way or it'll go to a full pardon.
01:18And the order does require the Bureau of Prisons to act immediately on receipt of the pardons and commutation orders?
01:24Right.
01:25Sir, this is an executive order.
01:27Why don't we get that down so they can get them going right now?
01:29Yes, sir.
01:30Is that okay?
01:31Yep, absolutely.
01:32This is a proclamation guaranteeing the state's protection against invasion based on the current crisis at the southern border.
01:38It invokes various executive powers relating to the ongoing invasion at the southern border.
01:51Mr. President, do I feel confident that those are not going to be blocked by the courts?
01:56I don't think they will.
01:57I don't think they can be.
01:59They're very straight up.
02:01Sir, this is an executive order realigning the United States Refugee Admission Program to better align with American principles and American interests.
02:21Okay.
