00:00Can President Bukele weigh in on this? Do you plan to return him?

00:04Well, I guess most of them suggested that I smuggle a terrorist into the United States, right?

00:09How can I smuggle him into the United States?

00:14If I smuggle him into the United States, or what do I do?

00:16Of course, I'm not going to do it.

00:18It's like, I mean, the question is preposterous.

00:21How can I smuggle a terrorist into the United States?

00:25I don't have the power to return him to the United States.

00:27So you can release him inside of the United States?

00:29Yeah, but I'm not releasing, I mean, we're not very fond of releasing terrorists into our country.

00:33I mean, we just turned the murder capital of the world to the safest country in the Western Hemisphere,

00:37and you want us to go back into the releasing criminals so we can go back to being the murder capital of the world.

00:42No, that's not going to happen.

00:44Well, they'd love to have a criminal, you know, released into it.

00:47I mean, there's a fascination.

00:49They would love it.

00:50Yeah.

00:52These are sick people.

00:53Mark, do you have something to say about that?

00:55Yeah, I mean, Stephen Eitland, I don't understand what the confusion is.

00:58This individual is a citizen of El Salvador.

01:01He was illegally in the United States and was returned to his country.

01:04That's where you deport people, back to their country of origin.

01:07Except for Venezuela that wasn't refusing to take people back or places like that.

01:11I can tell you this, Mr. President.

01:13No, the foreign policy of the United States is conducted by the President of the United States, not by a court.

01:17And no court in the United States has a right to conduct the foreign policy of the United States.

01:22It's that simple.

01:24End of story.

01:25And that's what the Supreme Court held, by the way, to Marco's point.

01:27The Supreme Court said exactly what Marco said, that no court has the authority to compel the foreign policy function of the United States.

01:34We want a case 9-0, and people like CNN are portraying it as a loss, as usual,

01:38because they want foreign terrorists in the country who kidnap women and children.

01:42But President Trump, his policy is foreign terrorists that are here illegally get expelled from the country,

01:47which, by the way, is a 90-10 issue.

01:50Well, Mr. President, you said that if the Supreme Court said someone needed to be returned, that you would abide by that.

01:54You said that on Air Force One just a few days ago.

01:57And they said that it must be facilitated.

02:00Why don't you just say, isn't it wonderful that we're keeping criminals out of our country?

02:04Why can't you just say that?

02:06Why do you go over and over, and that's why nobody watches you anymore?

02:10You have no credibility.

02:11Please go ahead.
