00:00Thanks for being here today, Rogan.

00:01If I can also answer your question, as far as the judges, look, we just arrested the judge,

00:07for impeding ICE enforcement removals.

00:12I said from day one, you don't have to support ICE's operations.

00:18You can support sanctuary cities if that's what you desire to do.

00:21Sanctuary cities can stand aside and watch ICE keep their community safe,

00:25because any public official, whether you're mayor, city councilman, or governor,

00:29their number one responsibility is protecting the communities.

00:32And ICE has been clear we're targeting public safety threats and national security threats.

00:36I can't believe there's any elected official, and especially a judge,

00:39that doesn't believe we should be doing that, and they should be helping us.

00:43But ICE has been day one.

00:44You can sit aside and watch.

00:45You can argue against us all you want and protest all you want.

00:48But when you cross that line, I've said this a thousand times,

00:52when you cross that line to impediment or knowingly harboring concealing an illegal alien from ICE,

00:57you will be prosecuted.

01:00Judge or not.

01:01And as far as releasing so many people, you know why the Biden administration released millions of people in the United States?

01:07No one ever talks about it.

01:07I'll talk about it.

01:09Why did they release people into the interior of the United States rather than put them into an ICE bed?

01:14Why not put them in an empty ICE bed at $127 a night rather than in a hotel room at $500 a night?

01:20They did it on purpose.

01:22Because when you put them in ICE detention bed, they get a hearing in 35 days.

01:26Court records show 9 out of 10 people claim asylum, get an order removal, they're gone.

01:31But if you release them and put them in a hotel room at $500 a night,

01:34their hearings can be five, seven, nine years, you pull out all appeals.

01:39And what are they hoping for then?

01:40That another Democrat administration is in power.

01:43They can warrant amnesty to millions.

01:44This is about selling this country off for future political power.

01:50That's what it was.

01:52The law clearly says if you arrive at our border without proper documentation, you shall be detained.

01:57Not maybe, not think about it, shall.

01:59And that's what President Trump's doing.

02:02Catching Lisa's over.

02:03That's what the law says and that's what we've done.

02:05That's what the law says and that's what we've done.
