00:00
All right, Sean.
00:01
Can I go back to the music a bit?
00:04
Yes, sir.
00:04
On Glastonbury, just getting to the decision to revoke the visas,
00:08
members of this administration, particularly the vice president,
00:11
have been very vocal about free expression,
00:13
saying that even if things are hateful,
00:15
particularly if the vice president took to task Germany
00:17
and to a certain extent the UK,
00:19
saying that there are laws that prohibit hateful content
00:21
and insults that those are inappropriate.
00:23
What's the difference here?
00:24
I mean, I'm not justifying, I'm not supporting the...
00:28
Of course.
00:28
But why is it that this speech is out of line
00:31
while you have, at the same time,
00:33
a push to not outlaw free expression elsewhere
00:36
when it comes to insults?
00:37
Right.
00:37
I think that, again, this is not about the nature of a concert,
00:42
I suppose, but it really is about our standards,
00:44
about who we let in the country,
00:46
that we're not telling people what they can sing about
00:48
or what they can say.
00:49
It's not involved here at all.
00:51
They obviously felt free to say what they were saying
00:53
and chanting at Glastonbury, and they can do that.
00:56
And we can do what we do.
00:57
So it really is about the issue of national security,
01:02
about issues of violence,
01:03
the increase, certainly, of anti-Semitism,
01:05
but of terrorism in general.
01:08
That dynamic, the crime in the United States,
01:11
what happened with the open border,
01:13
the transnational gangs that are here,
01:16
this kind of wanton dynamic that has ruined American lives,
01:21
that has created cities that are unlivable,
01:24
and every American deserves better.
01:27
They deserve to know they have leadership,
01:29
as we do now.
01:30
And that's why they voted for Donald Trump,
01:32
was simple, basic law and order,
01:35
respect for your neighbor,
01:37
and if you're coming to this country,
01:39
respect for the people who are here.
01:40
So I think that when we think about who we,
01:45
why you have a visa system,
01:46
which is in part to vet and to stop and to ask questions,
01:50
is to take that seriously.
01:52
Okay.
01:52
Okay.
01:52
Okay.
