00:00I have a lot of respect for you as a congresswoman because you sponsor legislation that would give

00:04child abusers the death penalty. That's a big reason why I respect you. I have a good question.

00:09What type of work have you done with the Trump administration to crack down on child abusers,

00:13especially right in the southern border, and what more is there to be done?

00:16I'm really glad that you asked this question. So what you're not noticing in the press and the

00:20media, any mainstream outlet, aside from I think Fox News and then of course some of the independent

00:24networks, is this administration has done an incredibly amazing thing in deporting actual

00:30rapists, child explorers, all of it. In fact, just today was announced that they actually

00:35found 10,000 of the over 300,000 missing children under the Biden administration.

00:44Now, it's not up to the White House, though, for the policy changes that actually have to

00:50come from Congress, and so I'm going to call out my own party. Why have people not gone

00:55on board to legislation to increase the mandatory minimums for child rapists and pedophiles in

01:00this country? Should it not be the platform of the pro-family party and the GOP to do that?

01:06So yes, we absolutely have to get aggressive, but there's been a lot of lethargy, and frankly,

01:10people don't want to take tough votes, but in my opinion, pedophiles deserve the death penalty.

01:15There's no rehabilitating a predator.
