00:00Just a follow-up question on a clarification, you mentioned that you're open to deporting individuals that aren't foreign aliens, brought criminals to El Salvador.
00:09Does that include potentially U.S. citizens, fully naturalized and everything?
00:14If they're criminals and if they hit people with baseball bats over their head that happen to be 90 years old,
00:19and if they rape 87-year-old women in Coney Island, Brooklyn, yeah, yeah, that includes them.
00:29What, do you think they're a special category of person?
00:32They're as bad as anybody that comes in.
00:34We have bad ones, too.
00:35And I'm all for it.
00:38Because we can do things with the President for less money and have great security.
00:45And we have a huge prison population.
00:48We have a huge number of prisons.
00:50And then we have the private prisons.
00:51And some are operated well, I guess, and some aren't.
00:55But he does a great job with that.
00:58We have others that we're negotiating with, too.
01:01But, no, if it's a homegrown criminal, I have no problem.
01:07Now, we're studying the laws right now.
01:10Pam is studying.
01:11If we can do that, that's good.
01:13And I'm talking about violent people.
01:14I'm talking about really bad people.
01:16Really bad people.
01:17Every bit as bad as the ones coming in.
01:19And I made the statement when I heard about this a long time ago now, four years ago, when I heard that this guy was having open borders, I said, every single criminal from all over the world is going to be dumped into our country.
01:35And that's what happened.
01:35And that's what happened.
01:36Jails.
01:37The jails of the Congo were emptied out.
01:40The jails of Venezuela were emptied out.
01:43And you know what happened?
01:43Their crime went way down.
01:45But now Venezuela has other problems.
01:48You know what the problem is?
01:49They have no money.
01:50Yeah.
01:51Because I shut off their oil and we put secondary tariffs because they're not doing what's right over there.
01:59They know what to do.
02:00We spoke to them.
02:01I spoke to them.
02:02They know what to do.
02:03But they have no money.
02:04Venezuela has no money.
02:06But Iran had no money.
02:09And Iran behaved so beautifully.
02:12And then Biden took all those secondary tariffs and tariffs on.
02:16I told China you can't buy oil.
02:17If you buy oil from Iran, China, I told it to President Xi, then we no longer want you to do business with the United States of America.
02:27And those ships disappeared from Meadow Arbor so quickly.
02:31China.
02:32It along great with China.
