00:00You know, last month, we had zero people that crossed the border.

00:06Zero.

00:13So, Christy and Tom Holman and some of the people, what a job you've done.

00:18But, you know, people forget about that.

00:20They don't care.

00:20The border's been fixed.

00:21I went to talk about the border two days ago in a big group.

00:25Sir, they don't want to hear about the border.

00:26Why?

00:27It's fixed.

00:28You know, it's the second time it happened.

00:30I mean, 2016, I won on the border.

00:32I fixed it in about three months.

00:33It was beautiful.

00:35And they wouldn't let me talk about the border.

00:37Sir, nobody wants to hear about the border.

00:39But we're going to talk about it anyway.

01:33That's why they don't want to have Hannibal in our midst.

01:38And today, I signed this bill into law.
