00:00These are articles over the last few days, death of people, death, death, death, horrible death,

00:13death. I don't know. I think anyone white South Africans are fleeing because of the violence and

00:22racist laws. So when you when you say, what would I like to do? I don't know what to do.

00:26These are people that are officials and they're saying that kill the white farmer and take their land.

00:31Can you explain to Americans why it's appropriate to welcome white Afrikaners here when other refugees like Afghans,

00:39Venezuelans, Haitians have all had their protective status revoked?

00:44Well, this is a group, NBC, that is truly fake news. They ask a lot of questions in a very pointed

00:52way. They're not questions, their statements. We've had tremendous complaints about Africa,

00:58about other countries too, from people. They say there's a lot of bad things going on in Africa,

01:04and that's what we're going to be discussing today. When you say we don't take others,

01:09all you have to do is take a look at the southern border. We let 21 million people come through our

01:14border, totally unchecked, totally unvetted. They came from all over the world. In many cases,

01:19they're criminals. They come from prisons. They come from mental institutions. They come from

01:24street gangs and drug dealers. So don't say that we didn't take them. We take them. We're trying to

01:29get them out as fast as we can. And we're doing record business on that. And we just won a big case

01:34where we're allowed to send back hundreds of criminals to Venezuela. Just won that today in the

01:40Supreme Court. I'm happy to hear. But we do have a lot of a lot of people are very concerned with

01:50regards to South Africa. And that's really the purpose of the meeting. And we'll see how that

01:54turns out. But we have many people that feel they're being persecuted and they're coming to

01:59the United States. So we take from many, many locations if we feel there's persecution or genocide

02:06going on. And we had a lot of people. I must tell you, Mr. President, we have had a tremendous

02:13number of people, especially since they've seen this. Generally, they're white farmers

02:19and they're fleeing South Africa. And it's, you know, it's a very sad thing to see. But I hope

02:25we can have an explanation of that because I know you don't want that.

02:28And it's, you know, it's a kind of a different meeting. Normally we have meetings. We talk about

02:35trade and we'll be talking about trade and other things. But that certainly will be a subject that

02:40comes up. Yeah. What would you like President Ramaphosa to do about the situation that we've just seen on

02:47the screen? I don't know. I don't know. Look, these are articles over the last few days.

02:53A death of people. Death, death, death, horrible death, death. I don't know.

03:06To pick anyone, white South Africans are fleeing because of the violence and racist laws. And this

03:15is all, I mean, I'll give these to you. So when you, when you say, what would I like to do? I don't

03:21know what to do. Look at this. White South African couples say that they were attacked violently.

03:30Well, I could do that. Look, here's burial sites all over the place. They're all,

03:34these are all white farmers that are being buried. And he asks about a jet that was given.

03:39You ought to be ashamed of yourself. You know, you're, you are so bad. You're such a bad reporter.

03:44This is one after another. This family was wiped out. I'm just, I'm just looking.

03:57Can we get everything from President Ramaphosa?

04:03Well, I think it's, I think the videos are so, no, no. When you look at the videos,

04:08I mean, how does it get worse? And these are people that are officials and they're saying that

04:14kill the white farmer and take their land. And I have other friends in South Africa,

04:19I have people that left, one in particular that says it's, you can't go there. He said they want to

04:26take your land and take your land and they kill you. It's okay. And they say it's okay to do. Now,

04:32we're going to talk about it, but this is a tremendous look. This is a story recently.

04:37These are all people that recently got killed. Yeah. And I don't know how it can get any worse.

04:46And you know, the man that you saw, the men that you saw, the people that you saw in that,

04:51those are officials. Those are people that were in office. They had a one march. They had a dance

04:57in your parliament, whatever you may call it, legislature. Let me clarify that. Yeah.
