Caroline Levitt takes the podium, we have instant analysis, a professor from Hillsdale College speaks about freedom of speech, and Cain joins the program. Charlie Kirk is on the college campuses, and he's running the White House.
00:00:38.000His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA. We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.

00:01:31.000One of the announcements that was made at the State of the Union was no men in female sports.
00:01:37.000Something that Democrats should be able to agree on.
00:01:40.000Something that Democrats should be able to do.
00:01:42.000This is Representative Kozlowski who says the Preservation of Girls Sports Act is genocide.
00:01:51.000Playcut 86. And they aren't going to stop being transgender.
00:01:55.000Just because you stripped them from sports or from housing or from their health care or any other public place that you don't want us to be.
00:02:04.000And so, members, make no mistake that this is just another version of state-sanctioned bullying and genocide.
00:02:44.000I think when people are actually presented, should men be in female sports, I think there's a 5% minoritarian lunatic vanguard and the rest of the country wants nothing to do with this.
00:05:45.000Look, we all made fun of Newsom with the launch of the new podcast, but dialogue is important.
00:05:51.000And one of the things I liked about the most recent event that you guys had was, for example, when you had Cenk up there on stage and you did 20 minutes with Cenk and sort of bridging the kind of left-wing populism.
00:06:06.000That approaches the America First agenda.
00:06:09.000So I think it's a really good thing that you did it, and I can't wait to see it.
00:06:14.000I know how you tend to find common ground with people, but at the same time, you don't back down on the important issues.
00:06:21.000So I'm expecting there to be both of that.
00:06:24.000I'm expecting there to be a couple of segments where there's common ground, and you sort of bring Newsom to the middle.
00:06:32.000And then I'm expecting segments where he just...
00:06:34.000You know, goes into full-blown denial.
00:06:36.000But I can't wait to see it, to be honest.
00:06:39.000Well, worst case scenario, we have our own iPhone video of it.
00:07:05.000They couldn't celebrate any of the achievements, despite the fact that they know in polling, for example, in that CBS poll that's out this morning, The ideas that Trump stands for are 25 points more popular than Trump himself.
00:07:20.000Like, almost all of his platforms are in the 70s in approval rating, and Trump himself is in the 50s.
00:07:26.000So the idea that the Democrat Party can't even find any common ground, can't show that they support...
00:07:33.000I mean, I remember, you know, more or less, this was the State of the Union.
00:07:36.000So I remember State of the Union when Republicans would stand up and clap for things that Obama did.
00:07:45.000I mean, there used to be a little bit of a sense, you know, a small sense of bipartisan honesty, let's say.
00:08:04.000You know, and then as I throw it back, the last thing, you know, Mark Mitchell was on this morning with Bannon on War Room and just really laying out how...
00:08:14.000You know, the numbers, for example, in the 18 to 39 voting group, that Trump has 60% approval with that group.
00:08:23.000So when we look at the overall, Mitchell was pointing out that when we look at the overall approval rating of Trump, it's sort of 51 to 53 to 55, that it's actually much higher with young people.
00:08:34.000And he said it's actually above 60% with Hispanics.
00:08:37.000So I don't know why they're committing party suicide, Charlie, but the...
00:08:43.000But the most extreme voices, the Jasmine Crockett's, the Sandy from Brooklyn, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, those are still the voices that are being heard, and it is not helping them, and I don't think 2026 is going to be good for them.
00:09:00.000I'm with you, Cain, and I mean, I don't want to make any predictions about the midterms, but the direction of the Democrat Party, it's just troubling for how a major political party could believe this, and how they could embrace this ideology.
00:09:18.000What does the future hold for business?
00:09:20.000Ask nine experts, you'll get all sorts of different answers.
00:09:22.000In fact, you might get ten answers if you ask nine experts.
00:09:24.000They'll say a bull market, a bear market, rates will rise or fall, inflation up or down.
00:09:29.000Can someone please invent a crystal ball?
00:09:31.000Until then, over 38,000 businesses have future-proofed their business with NetSuite by Oracle.
00:09:38.000The number one cloud, ERP, bringing accounting, financial management, inventory, HR into one fluid platform.
00:09:45.000With one unified business management suite, there's one source of truth giving you the visibility and control you need to make quick decisions.
00:09:54.000With real-time insights and forecasting, you're peering into the future with actionable data.
00:09:58.000When you're closing the books in days, not weeks, you're spending less time looking backwards and more time on what's next.
00:10:04.000At Turning Point USA, this is exactly what we plan on using.
00:10:07.000Whether your company is earning millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars, NetSuite helps you respond to immediately challenges and seize your biggest opportunities.
00:10:37.000It's been happening for six months, for a year.
00:10:41.000And to be honest, it's probably, I don't know how to designate percentages here, but it's probably at least 50% because of TPUSA. I mean, look, how do you get young people to sort of open their eyes?
00:10:59.000Who's been going to college campuses more than anyone else?
00:11:02.000TP Action and TPUSA. So the strategy that you came up with has worked, but that's not really even the interesting part.
00:11:09.000It isn't interesting that it's worked.
00:11:11.000What's really interesting are the actual numbers.
00:11:14.000These are big, as you said, more than their parents are.
00:11:19.000Can you even imagine saying five years ago that one of the strengths of the America First movement or the Republican movement would be young people, would be voters under 39?
00:11:29.000It's astonishing that we can even say that.
00:11:32.000But that's how much things have changed in five years.
00:11:35.000And again, how it happened, it's a combination of things.
00:12:01.000Because we're always so used to losing these young votes.
00:12:04.000So I think that's where it's coming from, Charlie.
00:12:06.000I don't know if you've already talked about it before, but one thing I wanted to add quickly was, you know, unfortunately we had a Democrat congressman who'd been in office for 62 days who replaced Sheila Jackson Lee, passed away last night.
00:13:34.000President Trump level-set with the American people on the economy and exposed how badly Joe Biden screwed it up by causing the worst inflation crisis in four decades.
00:13:45.000President Trump was honest about where we are while making clear that help is on the way.
00:13:51.000As the president declared last night, he will make America affordable again.
00:13:57.000Last night, you also saw who motivates the president to work so hard.
00:14:02.000Everyday Americans, who President Trump shined a spotlight on last night in his speech.
00:14:08.000From Mark Fogle, who President Trump was finally able to reunite with his family and his beautiful 95-year-old mother after being detained in Russia.
00:14:18.000Whose heart-wrenching story motivated President Trump to end men in women's sports.
00:14:24.000And to Allison and Lauren Phillips, the mother and sister of Lakin Riley, who President Trump honored by signing the Lakin Riley Act to ensure her name will live on forever.
00:14:36.000In other amazing and surprise moments, President Trump honored the life of Jocelyn Nungere, who was brutally murdered by illegal alien gang members.
00:14:45.000He ensured Jocelyn will never be forgotten by renaming a national wildlife refuge in her home state of Texas to honor her life.
00:14:53.000And in one of the greatest surprise moments of the night...
00:14:56.000DJ Daniel, an incredible 13-year-old boy who is beating brain cancer, saw his dreams fulfilled by President Trump when he was made an honorary Secret Service agent.
00:15:06.000And finally, after nearly four years, President Trump delivered justice for the families of the 13 American heroes who were killed at Abbey Gate in the Biden-botched Afghanistan withdrawal, which was one of the worst humiliations in the history of our country.
00:15:23.000President Trump announced that we have detained Mohammad Sharif Fula, the monster who was responsible for that horrific attack, and he was delivered to Dulles Airfield earlier this morning.
00:15:34.000On his first day in office, President Trump's national security team across the federal government prioritized intelligence gathering to locate this evil individual.
00:15:45.000President Trump's team shared intelligence with regional partners such as Pakistan, who helped identify this monster.
00:15:55.000He said last night, this killer will now face the swift sword of American justice for these atrocities right here on United States soil.
00:16:03.000Joe Biden was responsible for this botched withdrawal, and he had three years to find this evil terrorist, and he didn't even try to get the job done.
00:16:12.000But President Trump campaigned on behalf of and grew very close to the Gold Star families.
00:16:18.000He promised them accountability, and last night, he kept his promise.
00:16:22.000He spoke to those Gold Star families yesterday.
00:16:25.000ahead of his speech in an incredibly heartwarming call to share this incredible news.
00:16:30.000And as President Trump asked in his speech last night, how could anyone possibly be opposed to any of this action that he is taking?
00:16:39.000Well, apparently, the modern-day Democrat Party could.
00:16:43.000The behavior of Democrats last night was completely disgraceful and demonstrated how severely out of touch they are with the American public.
00:16:53.000It was the most shameful moment in the history of presidential addresses in that beautiful chamber.
00:16:59.000In what was supposed to be a unifying moment for our country, Democrat members of Congress instead screamed at the President of the United States, who was just overwhelmingly re-elected by their constituents, walked out of the chamber, and worst of all, they disrespected the American people.
00:17:16.000Democrats didn't stand to keep men out of women's sports.
00:17:20.000They couldn't even clap for a girl who got her head smashed in by a man on a volleyball court.
00:17:25.000Democrats didn't stand for an innocent and beautiful child who is surviving brain cancer.
00:17:30.000They opposed eliminating taxes on tips and Social Security.
00:17:34.000They didn't stand in favor of cutting taxes for hardworking Americans.
00:17:38.000They couldn't even clap for two mothers whose daughters were killed by illegal aliens.
00:17:43.000One of the only things that could get Democrats off their feet last night was cheering for Ukraine.
00:18:33.000And CNN was proven wrong by their own viewers, 69% of whom, in a post-speech poll, said they had a positive reaction to the president's speech.
00:18:43.000It's sad and frankly pathetic that Democrats and liberals in the legacy media continue to allow their hatred for the president to override their love for our country.
00:18:53.000But nevertheless, the president will continue to unify this nation through policies that are grounded in common sense and that uplift all Americans.
00:19:02.000We have an individual in our new media seat today, Mary Margaret Olihan, who is the Daily Wire's first ever White House correspondent.
00:19:11.000The Daily Wire was founded 10 years ago by Ben Shapiro.
00:19:15.000The Daily Wire now has over 1 million paid subscribers, a monthly network reach of 138 million, and has evolved into a leading conservative multimedia giant.
00:19:24.000They are now the fifth largest podcast network in the world, and home to some of the top-ranked shows.
00:19:30.000With that, I will take your questions, and Mary Margaret, why don't you kick us off?
00:19:36.000So I had two questions, if that's okay.
00:19:38.000The first on last night, and the second on May.
00:19:40.000You talked about behavior from Democrat lawmakers, a lot of disruptions, and I just wanted to kind of go back to that.
00:19:48.000We saw Democrat lawmakers not stand for Lincoln Riley, for Peyton McNabb, for the son of a slain police officer and 13-year-old cancer survivor.
00:19:56.000What are the optics of that nationally, just in terms of not just the people who were in the room last night, but across the nation?
00:20:02.000And also, was President Trump expecting this type of behavior when he was crafting his speech?
00:20:08.000So I gave a quote to one of the media outlets in this room yesterday that Democrats behaving like children would be the least surprising thing of the night.
00:20:15.000And unfortunately, that quote did turn out to be true.
00:20:18.000I think the president and everyone, frankly, was surprised by the Democrats refusing to stand for not the president's policies, because frankly, we expected that, but for the everyday Americans who President Trump was shining a light on their stories.
00:20:32.000Mark Fogle, for instance, an American school teacher who was detained by the Russians.
00:20:40.000If Joe Biden had done that, they all would have been on their feet, but because of what came from President Trump, they weren't.
00:20:45.000So we think it's very sad, but we're very proud of the president today, and the American people are the people that this president cares about most, and the reviews are in, and everybody loved his speech.
00:20:55.000And then on Maine, we know that the governor of Maine has really pushed back against the president's executive order, saying the boys should not be in girls' sports.
00:21:02.000I spoke with a lawmaker from Maine this morning who told me she'd been censured by state lawmakers for calling a man a man and speaking up on this.
00:21:09.000Private student loan debt in the United States totals about 300 billion dollars.
00:21:21.000Because of private student loan debt, so many Americans feel stuck and helpless and they've even lost hope.
00:21:25.000Why Refi gives you a light at the end of the tunnel.
00:21:43.000It may not be available in all 50 states.
00:21:45.000When the payment on your distressed or defaulted private student loan is so big, you guys should check out YReFi.
00:21:51.000Let's face it, if you have a distressed or defaulted private student loan, nobody is going to bail you out, and bankruptcy is not an option.
00:21:59.000They provide you with a custom loan payment based on your ability to pay.
00:22:03.000If your private student loan debt keeps you up at night and is ruining your life, Y-Refi could be the place for you to get it fixed and settled.
00:22:12.000Can you imagine being debt-free and not living under this burden anymore?
00:22:27.000Caroline Levitt continues, but I want to get to our guest here from the greatest college in America, Hillsdale College, Dr. Miles Smith, who's an assistant professor of history at...
00:22:41.000We love Hillsdale and there's lots to discuss.
00:22:43.000I want to talk about freedom of speech because when I go on college campuses, they say that, well, Donald Trump is against freedom of speech, but let's get back to our roots.
00:22:52.000How did the founders view the press and freedom of speech?
00:22:56.000Freedom of speech is kind of a tricky thing.
00:22:58.000We sort of forget that the question of freedom of speech developed.
00:23:04.000George Washington, for example, had a pretty capacious view.
00:24:06.000And so, for example, during COVID, the government sort of setting itself up as the referee of what could be published about, for example, health and medicine and whatnot.
00:24:15.000That's not what the First Amendment did historically.
00:24:42.000The government doesn't get to tell us what's right speech and what isn't when it comes to, say, medicine or what you saw during COVID tide.
00:24:50.000So we've largely strayed away from the founders' intent for America.
00:24:56.000Speak about the growth of the administrative state and how in the last couple of weeks we are seeing this new administration at least attempting to reorient us back to first principles.
00:25:10.000Yeah, so I think that, for example, what the president's doing on college campuses, you know, withholding federal money from schools where he perceives, and I think a lot of the American public perceives, to be inappropriate and even illegal protests.
00:25:25.000He's not actually trying to tell them they can't speak what they want.
00:25:29.000He's just saying the government's not going to fund you if you do that.
00:25:32.000And so I think what that is, is the president attempting to do what I think is in his heart and turn all the educational universities and colleges in the United States towards what their actual mission is.
00:25:46.000Of course, the mission of education is education.
00:25:49.000And so maybe there's some protests that add to the mission of a college, but the mission of colleges is not protesting.
00:25:57.000And so my best guess is that the president kind of perceives that and wants to push back against the idea that colleges are sort of places where protest is the preeminent value or even the preeminent action that they do.
00:26:09.000All federal funding being prohibited from these universities, what then is case law kind of leading up to the idea of what is acceptable and unacceptable speech on these campuses?
00:27:17.000I want everyone in the audience to know, in the same way we struggle with truly free speech, we need to uncover the true American founding.
00:27:27.000Everyone can do that at charlieforhillsdale.com, The Real American Founding, a conversation.
00:27:32.000In closing here, Doctor, please tell us about the work that you are doing, the scholarship you're most interested in, what you appreciate about Hillsdale College.
00:27:41.000I do a lot of in the intersection of Christians and how Christians in the United States' history have sort of understood the relationship of their faith and religion and government.
00:27:53.000I wrote a book called Religion and Republic, and it sort of shows that people think there's a lot more interaction between religion and government than people might have perceived historically.
00:28:03.000We're not a theocracy, but we are a very religious republic, and our republic has religious commitments throughout its institutional history.
00:28:31.000That will make a left-wing person go a little nuts.
00:28:36.000Yeah, well, I think that we sort of, we always have these discussions on church and state, church and state.
00:28:41.000And my point is, I'm not really saying that we have a state church or that we should have state churches, but religion is part and parcel of our institutional life here in the United States.
00:28:53.000You can't throw a rock without hitting an institution with religious commitments.
00:28:57.000And the United States is Republican government.
00:29:01.000Guarantees the protection of those religious institutions.
00:29:04.000The government's not indifferent to it.
00:29:06.000The Constitution is not indifferent to the protection of religion.
00:29:10.000The government is our protector as religious people, and it protects religious institutions.
00:29:16.000And so the Republic, the President, the Congress, and the courts, their job is not to tell us what our religion should be or shouldn't be, not to tell us what our beliefs should or shouldn't be.
00:29:28.000It's to protect us as we, Christians, declare what we think of as the truth of the gospel.
00:29:36.000And the gospel has both sort of very spiritual and political ramifications too in various ways.
00:29:43.000So it's the government's actually job to protect the church's right to say those things in public.
00:29:48.000Doctor, I would love to have you on at a different time.
00:29:50.000We have a lot of breaking news here with press conferences and etc.
00:29:53.000People should check out charlieforhillsdale.com and I see the ash and to all of our Catholic friends, Ash Wednesday.
00:30:00.000People should know that the idea of using ashes as a sign of mourning goes all the way back to the Old Testament in the book of Daniel, in the book of Jonah.
00:30:08.000It is a very ancestral idea in the scripture.
00:30:19.000In the Oval Office who is committed to doing what's right for them, especially women and girls across the country.
00:30:24.000And I think it's very ironic, thank you for bringing up the point about women, that Democrat women were wearing pink to support our fellow females, yet they couldn't stand, again, for a young woman who was almost killed and severely injured by a man on the volleyball court.
00:30:41.000They couldn't stand for the mothers of two beautiful young women whose lives were taken, tragically, at the hands of a leader.
00:30:48.000So you can't say you're the party of women and then support men in women's sports and not stand up for basic law and order and immigration reform that will protect women in this country.
00:31:06.000So, speaking of tariffs, China said yesterday that they're ready for any kind of war with the U.S. because of these tariffs that have been placed on them.
00:31:15.000And a Chinese spokesperson also said that the tariffs would not lead to a resolution of U.S. concerns about fentanyl originating in China.
00:31:23.000Can you speak to how the administration is planning on responding to that?
00:31:27.000Well, I think Secretary Hegseth has responded to that this morning.
00:31:31.000he said that America will always be prepared to defend itself, especially under the leadership of this president in the Oval Office.
00:31:40.000Again, when it comes to tariffs, the president has been very tough on China, not just now with 20 percent and more with the reciprocal tariffs that will hit on April 2nd.
00:31:49.000But look at what he did in his first term.
00:31:51.000There were billions of dollars worth of tariffs that he implemented on China.
00:31:54.000And it's quite telling that the previous administration did not rescind those tariffs because they realized the value that they had in not only deterring China, but also raising revenue here in the United States.
00:32:07.000Just a quick follow-up, two quick follow-ups on tariffs.
00:32:09.000The president mentioned a little disturbance during his remarks yesterday.
00:32:12.000The CEO of Target says that consumers will likely see prices go up on everything from strawberries to bananas to avocados.
00:32:19.000How long should Americans expect to pay higher prices?
00:32:22.000Are we talking a week, a couple of days, a few months?
00:32:25.000Again, I don't have a crystal ball, but what I can assure the American people is that this president and this administration is doing everything they can.
00:32:33.000And I would remind you and everybody else in this room that it's because of the previous administration's economic policies that Americans were left with record high inflation.
00:32:44.000Inflation throughout Joe Biden's entire 48 months in office was at or above 3%.
00:33:03.000The U.S. imported $43 million worth of eggs from Canada.
00:33:07.000I know you mentioned some of the exemptions when it comes to automakers.
00:33:11.000Will there be any other carve-outs, including for eggs?
00:33:14.000We know prices are soaring for Americans.
00:33:15.000The president is open to hearing about additional exemptions.
00:33:19.000He always has open dialogue and he'll always do what's right, what he believes is right for the American people.
00:33:25.000But again, as for the egg crisis in this country, the president is wholeheartedly committed to ensuring we're increasing our egg supply and we're also bringing down cost.
00:33:36.000And Secretary Rollins has been all over this issue.
00:33:39.000She comes from an agricultural background and family.
00:33:41.000That's why she's leading that very important department.
00:33:43.000She wrote an amazing op-ed in the Wall Street Journal.
00:33:46.000She's been all over the media talking about her plan.
00:35:20.000Frustrated with President Zelensky when he was handing out blank checks and President Zelensky kept asking for more, Joe Biden was quite frustrated with that.
00:35:30.000So, again, as I've said repeatedly, Friday revealed the frustrations that this administration has had in closed-door negotiations with the Ukrainians.
00:35:39.000However, President Zelensky did put out a statement yesterday, which we believe is a positive step forward.
00:35:44.000And National Security Advisor Mike Waltz has been talking to his Ukrainian counterparts.
00:35:50.000So we're in the midst of this, and we'll see what happens next.
00:35:55.000One on the reprieve that is being granted to these three automakers for one month on the tariffs on Canada and Mexico.
00:36:01.000How did the president settle on one month?
00:36:04.000The reciprocal tariffs will go into effect on April 2nd, and he feels strongly about that no matter what, no exemptions.
00:36:11.000So that's where the one month comes from.
00:36:13.000So does he expect them to be able to shift production within a month?
00:36:16.000He told them that they should get on it, start investing, start moving, shift production here to the United States of America where they will pay no tariff.
00:36:24.000And on the conversations between the White House and the Ukrainians and the letter that President Trump revealed last night that he got from President Zelensky, Director Ratcliffe said today that the president has paused also intelligence sharing with Ukraine.
00:36:36.000Is that temporary or is that permanent?
00:36:39.000I believe what the National Security Council told me in regards to that was that they paused or they are reconsidering the funding for Ukraine, as you saw, the pause on the funding.
00:36:53.000As for intelligence matters, I would refer you to either the National Security Council or the CIA as well.
00:36:58.000But they're considering lifting the – or reinstating the military aid going to Ukraine, which they paused.
00:37:51.000And also, curious if the President had a reason for not specifically mentioning BlackRock last night when he was praising the company that is buying canals or ports around the Panama Canal.
00:38:05.000Iraq is now interested in investing and taking over the two ends of the port, which is very important because the President was very vocal several weeks ago about the need to ensure that China is not controlling the Panama Canal.
00:38:18.000This is a very important place for the United States of America.
00:38:24.000We also saw that the Panama Canal lifted fees on our US naval ships that are going in and out of the canal.
00:38:31.000That's a win for the United States of America.
00:38:34.000...just given to me in different verbiage of three different times, and I will answer it again in an effort of transparency to the American people, because this is an important issue, and the American people, this president understands that it is.
00:38:46.000And again, that's why in his joint address to Congress last night, he addressed this issue with a realistic and honest approach.
00:38:52.000He talked about what this administration is doing to unleash American energy and to make America affordable again, and this administration is wholeheartedly committed to doing it.
00:39:03.000The American public that the first-term record of this president speaks volumes.
00:39:08.000That's why they re-elected him, because they know that he can fix our broken economy, and it's very, very broken from the previous administration.
00:39:18.000I've got two questions, one on press access and the other on fentanyl and tariffs.
00:39:22.000On press access, your predecessor, Corrine Jean-Pierre, presided over many novel press access restrictions, criticized the recent changes to the press pool made by your office.
00:39:34.000She said in an interview, quote, what we're looking at is what North Korea is doing.
00:39:41.000And can you say anything to allay concerns that unfavorable coverage will be punished in this new press conference?
00:39:47.000I think that's the same individual who said from this podium numerous times that the commander-in-chief was mentally and physically up for the job, which we knew was a lie.
00:39:56.000Many people in this room knew it was a lie.
00:39:58.000Many of you were admonished for asking questions about that truth.
00:40:03.000And so when it comes to truth and transparency, this administration, this White House, is setting the example.
00:40:09.000This president is taking far more questions than his predecessor Joe Biden did on a daily basis, and that will continue.
00:40:16.000And on fentanyl and tariffs, fentanyl produced largely in China has killed 334,000 Americans over five years.
00:40:26.000According to CDC data, that's about one in every thousand Americans.
00:40:31.000President Trump has cited this for applying new tariffs to Canada, Mexico, and China.
00:40:35.000But in addition to China's talk about being ready for any kind of war, they said yesterday, the foreign ministry said that, quote, the fentanyl issue is a flimsy excuse to raise U.S. tariffs, and, quote, U.S., not anyone else, is responsible for the fentanyl crisis.
00:40:49.000So what's the response to China that...
00:40:52.000The talk offensively is just an excuse for tariffs.
00:40:54.000And what does that say about the resolution?
00:40:56.000Well, of course the country that is getting very rich off of distributing this deadly poison to American citizens is going to say that.
00:41:04.000Again, the president knows where the American people stand on this issue.
00:41:14.000They also talked about the border, the illegal immigrants that were pouring through, but also these deadly drugs.
00:41:19.000And again, the president keeps in mind those families every single day when he is making these tough decisions.
00:41:24.000But it's a necessary decision, and he's no longer going to allow the United States of America to be a dumping ground for illegal immigrants and for illegal drugs that are killing our nation's people.
00:41:34.000This is the number one leading cause of death in our country, and there needs to be action taken to ensure that that cannot continue.
