Transcript

00:00I have any questions, please.

00:01Mr. President, on your new travel ban, why now, and if the boulder attack was part of your reasoning,

00:06why not include Egypt on that list where the suspect is from?

00:09Well, because Egypt has been a country that we deal with very closely.

00:13They have things under control.

00:15The countries that we have don't have things under control.

00:19And why now? I can say that it can't come soon enough, frankly.

00:23We want to keep bad people out of our country.

00:25The Biden administration allowed some horrendous people, and we're getting them out one by one.

00:32And we're not stopping until we get them out.

00:34We have thousands of murderers.

00:37I hate to even hate to say this in front of the chancellor.

00:40Of course, you have a little problem, too, with some of the people that were allowed into your country.

00:44It's not your fault. It's not your fault.

00:46It shouldn't have happened.

00:47I told her it shouldn't have happened, what she did.

00:49But you have your own difficulty with that.

00:52And we do, and we're moving them out, and we're moving them out very strongly.

00:57But it can't come fast enough.

00:59We want to get them out.

00:59We want to get them out now.

01:00We don't want to have other bad people coming into our country.

01:04But using the word bad, I'm being nice.

01:06Okay, question?

01:07The Democrats are as a distraction.

01:08Please.
