18:20The Democrats have really let them down.

18:35They've really let them down.

18:37They had this great opportunity.

18:39The Democrats have really let them down.

18:41It's a shame.

18:42And now people have taken advantage of DACA, and that's a shame.

18:46It should have never happened.

19:18You all right?

19:19It's in our debate room.

19:24Thank you everybody, thank you.

19:54Ladies and gentlemen, the President of the United

20:24States and Mrs. Trump, accompanied by the Easter Bunny.

20:30Ladies and gentlemen, Gunnery Sergeant Sarah Sheffield

20:50and the President's own United States Marine Band,

20:53performing the National Anthem.

20:56Oh, say can you see, with dawn's early light,

21:06what so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming,

21:15whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight

21:24o'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?

21:33And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air,

21:43gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.

21:53Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave

22:04o'er the land of the free

22:09and the home of the brave?

22:16Oh, it's a beautiful day.

22:30This is a beautiful day.

22:37Welcome to the 2019 White House Easter Egg Roll.

22:47This is 141 years that we've been doing this.

22:52I don't remember the first one, but the last three years,

22:55we've had an awfully good time.

22:58And I have to thank our First Lady.

23:00She worked so hard on this event.

23:02And without her, it would not be like it is.

23:05It's as beautiful as I've ever seen it.

23:08So, Melania, thank you very much.

23:10Fantastic job. Thank you, honey.

23:12I also want to thank the White House Historical Association

23:16for the incredible job they do.

23:17They work with the First Lady and all of us

23:20on just making the White House

23:21and keeping the White House a special place.

23:24It is, to me, the most special place.

23:27There can't be anything like it.

23:29And we take it really very seriously.

23:31And it's in great shape.

23:33That I can tell you. It's in great shape.

23:35Also, our incredible Marine Corps Band.

23:39Thank you very much. Beautiful.

23:41Wouldn't be the same without you.

23:44And a group of people that do a wonderful job.

23:49I love them. I know they like me, too.

23:52It's the egg farmers of this country.

23:56The egg farmers.

23:58And they brought thousands and thousands of eggs.

24:01I don't know if you can use them all,

24:02but I have a feeling with these young,

24:05very ambitious children, they're going to find a reason.

24:07They'll be gone. They'll all be gone.

24:10And maybe most importantly,

24:11I want to wish everybody a very happy Easter.

24:13Our country is doing fantastically well.

24:16Probably the best it's ever done economically.

24:19We're setting records on stock markets.

24:22We're setting records with jobs.

24:23And unemployment numbers are the lowest they've ever been.

24:27Fifty years in many groups.

24:29And historically, the lowest numbers we've ever had.

24:33Regulations, low taxes.

24:35Our country has never done better.

24:37And do we love our military.

24:39Our military is building,

24:41is literally being completely rebuilt.

24:44We are completely rebuilding our military.

24:49It was very depleted, as you know.

24:51A lot of the military folks can tell you.

24:53And it is being rebuilt to a level

24:55that we have never seen before.

24:57All with great product.

24:59The best product in the world.

25:00And you know where it's made?

25:02In the USA.

25:03That's where it's made.

25:04It's all made right here.

25:06So, again, happy Easter.

25:08Enjoy yourselves.

25:09And I'm coming down right now to be with you.

25:12First Lady is coming with me.

25:13And maybe I'll get this great Easter buddy

25:16to come with us.

25:17Thank you very much, everybody.

25:18Happy Easter.

25:21Thank you very much.
