00:00Or somebody that we respect, including ourselves.

00:03And a question for both the president and the attorney general.

00:05Under birthright citizenship, if this is implemented,

00:08who would be tasked with actually vetting citizenship?

00:12And would this be a situation where you have nurses and doctors

00:15checking for citizenship of parents?

00:18This is all pending litigation.

00:20It's going to be decided in October by the Supreme Court,

00:25and we'll discuss that after the litigation.

00:26If you have an undocumented baby, would that baby then be an enforcement priority?

00:32The violent criminals in our country are the priority now.

00:37Let me put it in perspective.

00:39Today marked the 2,711th arrest in our country of TDA members, just TDA.

00:47Everyone in this room agrees they are one of the most violent criminal organizations in the world.

00:53And the Biden administration let them walk into our country, walk into our country for the last four years.

01:002,711 of them today have been arrested in our country.

01:05That is the priority of Donald Trump.

01:07That is the priority of this country, of homeland security, of all of our lawyers, of FBI.

01:13That's the priority.

01:14That will be discussed in October when the Supreme Court hopefully rules in our favor,

01:18and we're very confident of that.

01:20But you should all feel safer now that President Trump can deport all of these, all of these gangs,

01:26and not one district court judge can think they're an emperor over this administration,

01:32his executive powers, and why the people of the United States elected him.

01:36I just might add one thing.

01:41And, you know, they used birthright citizenship, some of the worst people,

01:44some of the cartels, to get people into our country, just so you know.

01:48And again, I say, if you look at the end of the Civil War, the 1800s,

01:52it was a very turbulent time.

01:54If you take the end day, was it 1869 or whatever,

01:57but you take that exact day, that's when the case was filed.

02:01And the case ended shortly thereafter.

02:03This has to do with the babies of slaves, very, very obviously.

02:08And I think we're going to win.

02:09People didn't, I don't think they went about discussing it right.

02:12I came along and we looked and we said, wait a minute, this is wrong.

02:16We've been looking at birthright citizenship wrong for years.

02:19But they've used it.

02:20The cartels have used birthright citizenship to get very bad people in.

02:24And then what Pam's doing and what Todd and everybody else,

02:27what they're doing at DOJ and all over, FBI, ICE, Border Patrol.

02:32These are incredible people.

02:34They're trying to keep our country safe.

02:36And they don't want to have people come in.

02:37This is just another way that they get illegal immigrants into our country

02:42and in some cases, very, very bad ones.

02:45Go ahead.

02:45Thank you, Mr. President.
