00:00Can you talk about that a little bit further in light of the July 4th holiday and what security threats are being watched right now, concerns about sleeper cells or other things that have been in the country?
00:11Like a DHS put out threat assessment to East Square. I agree with that. We are in heightened alert status right now. So every American needs to keep their eye open. Again, there's several places to report suspicious activity. You go to DHS hotline and report it there.
00:25But look, today we have the most secure border in the history of this nation. You have some comfort of that. But the reason we have the most secure border in the history of this nation is because of President Trump's policy and having DOD access to assist Border Patrol on the border. That's why we have that most secure border, which is why we need the big, beautiful bill passed, because that puts more Border Patrol agents on the border and maybe relieve DOD access. That puts more ICE agents on the streets of this country to arrest more public safety threats and national security threats.
00:54I looked at numbers this morning. Over 200 Iranian nationals have been arrested by ICE and brought in. With more resources, we do more than national security work across the country.
01:03But right now we've got well over 20 million illegal analysts in this country. We've got less than 5,000 deportation officers. We need the bill to get more agents on the street. We need more detention beds because everybody who rests needs to be a bed before they get removed.
01:17And more contract work. So badges and guns with immigration authority aren't sitting at a desk doing keystrokes on some administrative duty that can be done by contract to put that badge and gun on the street to look for these national security threats. Big, beautiful, most important. We need that passed right away.
