00:00Would you also be willing to pay for those facilities to be open if new ones were going to be built?

00:04I'd do something. We'd help them out.

00:07They're great facilities, very strong facilities, and they don't play games.

00:14I'd like to go a step further.

00:15I said it to Pam. I don't know what the laws are.

00:18We always have to obey the laws, but we also have homegrown criminals

00:22that push people into subways that hit elderly ladies on the back of the head

00:28with a baseball bat when they're not looking that are absolute monsters.

00:34I'd like to include them in the group of people to get them out of the country,

00:38but you'll have to be looking at the laws on that, Steve, okay?

00:45And do you think more presidents should follow suit like you guys

00:48as far as taking a hard stamp on crime here in the United States?

00:51I do. I think everybody has to.

00:53The president said it better than anybody.

00:55He said, you know, you have liberty, and you have to have liberty,

00:59but to have liberty, you're going to – not everybody is going to be good.

01:03And, you know, some are bad because they're sick.

01:06They're mentally deranged. They're bad.

01:08And you have to take them – if you're going to have a country,

01:11you're going to have to take those people out.

01:13And we've been doing that.

01:16But this was like an unforced era, they would call it,

01:19where we had people that may hate our country,

01:23or maybe they're just stupid people.

01:25I think they're probably stupid people more so.

01:28They – a lot of people said they did it for the vote.

01:31But I did better with Hispanic people than they did,

01:34because I always use Hispanic.

01:35I did better.

01:36You people love me.

01:37I saw my poll numbers in your country.

01:40I'm through the roof, right?

01:41Ninety-one percent.

01:43No, no, they – some people think they do it for the vote.

01:48But they don't have to do it for the vote.

01:49They cheat.

01:50You know, they're professional cheaters.

01:52That's about the only thing they do well.

01:53So we just have had a great relationship.

01:57And it's become bigger because of a strange thing that happened.

02:01You know, I came back.

02:03We had no war in Ukraine.

02:05We had no war with – we had no October 7th Middle East problem.

02:10We had nothing.

02:11We had – we had no inflation.

02:13We didn't have the Afghanistan most embarrassing moment

02:16in the history of our country, the Afghanistan not withdrawing,

02:19because I would have been – you know, I was –

02:21I had it all set to bring people out with dignity and pride.

02:25That was the worst, most embarrassing moment

02:28in the history of our country, Afghanistan.

02:30We didn't have any of that.

02:32You wouldn't have had the war with Russia and Ukraine.

02:34You wouldn't have had the Middle East problem

02:36because Iran was broke.

02:37They had no money because we had secondary sanctions on

02:40and lots of other sanctions.

02:42And now every single thing –

02:45we've got a problem with Iran, but I'll solve that problem.

02:48That's almost an easy one.

02:49And we've got to solve a war that should have never started,

02:52Ukraine and Russia, and we'll get that solved.

02:57And we have to solve problems.

02:59And we already solved inflation.

03:00You know, if you look at the numbers,

03:01the numbers are incredible, actually.

03:04The stock market's up.

03:06And we're not letting other countries take advantage

03:09of this country like they have for the last 40 years.

03:12So thank you very much.
