00:00Mr. President, what's your timeline on the rest of your judicial nominations, and what's your criteria when you're taking judges?
00:06Which nominations?
00:07The future judicial nominations for the federal judge positions.
00:10Well, we're putting them in rapidly, and we're trying to get very good ones.
00:13I mean, we need judges that are not going to be demanding trials for every single illegal immigrant.
00:19We have millions of people that have come in here illegally, and we can't have a trial for every single person.
00:25That would be millions of trials.
00:27The people elected me in a landslide with every single, we won every swing state, we won everything there is to win by big numbers.
00:36Not only swing state, we won the popular vote by millions of votes.
00:40They elected me, this was the number one issue, and now we have judges, radicalized, and they're crazy.
00:47Because they want us to have, if you believe this, they want us to have a trial for every person that came in illegally into our country.
00:55So they come into our country illegally, and then we're supposed to take weeks, I guess, and months to have a trial on every criminal, and we have murderers all over the country.
01:04I don't think the Supreme Court will stand for that.
01:07I can't believe it.
01:08Because you know what?
01:09If they do, we're not going to have a country.
01:11Go ahead.
01:12How will you make sure that the judges that you appoint are different than that?
01:14All you can do is do the best you can.
01:17You know, you try and appoint the best people to being judges or anything else that you appoint.
01:23But so far, you know, we've been very disappointed with the decisions that come out, and mostly from people appointed by others than me.
01:31But it's just so hard to believe that you have a murderer.
01:35For many, you know, we have 11,888, or whatever the number is.
01:41We have thousands of murderers in this country.
01:43We're getting them out.
01:45And they say, we don't want them out.
01:47We want them to stay in our country until they have a trial.
01:50Trials take years.
01:52They take years.
01:53It's so crazy.
01:55We won't have a country left.
01:56We can't have that happen.
