00:00We go back to what we have to do.
00:02The markets have been very strong once they got used to it.
00:05But we were losing $2 billion a day.
00:09There's no company big like this.
00:12This is the biggest deal ever made.
00:14Now we're making $3 billion a day.
00:18We're a great country, but we had stupid people running this country.
00:22And I can say it.
00:23But what they've done to us at the border should never and can never be forgotten.
00:28It's a sin, what they did.
00:31And you are helping us out.
00:33And we appreciate it.
00:37Actually, what you're doing with the border is remarkable.
00:41It has dropped, what, 95 percent?
00:44It's incredible.
00:44Okay.
00:45As of this morning, 99 percent.
00:4899.1 percent, to be exact.
00:51Why are those numbers not in the media?
00:52Well, they get out with the fake news, you know, like CNN.
00:55CNN over here doesn't want to put them out because they don't like putting out good numbers.
01:01They only like putting out, because I think they hate our country, actually.
01:04Yeah, that's a good question.
01:05But it's a shame.
01:06You're right.
01:07Isn't that a great question?
01:08Why doesn't the media, why don't they put out numbers?
01:10Yeah, 99 percent.
01:12I mean, it's crazy, right?
01:13We're doing great.
01:14It's a crazy time around.
01:15Christy, could you maybe say a couple of words about the border, how we're doing?
01:18You know, it's just been absolutely phenomenal what a great leader can do.
01:23Clear direction.
01:24Our laws matter.
01:25We should only have people in our country that love us.
01:27And the Border Patrol and our ICE officers and law enforcement officers have done fantastic work.
01:33So we're proud of them.
01:34Now we just need to get the criminals and murderers and rapists and dangerous gang members and terrorist organizations out of our country.
01:41So, Mr. President, Kelly, we thank you very much for your partnership.
01:46It has been wonderful for us to be able to have somewhere to send the worst of the worst and someone to partner with.
01:53And we'd like to continue that partnership because it's been a powerful message of consequences.
01:58Mr. President, you wanted people to know that there was consequences if you break our laws and harm our people and endanger families.
02:05And this is a clear consequence for the worst of the worst that we have somewhere to put them.
02:10Thank you very much.
