00:00The United States should look after it, it's an integral role, and that's how we feel.

00:05How about the trade?

00:06There's some trade disputes between the U.S. and the U.N.

00:07How do you think?

00:08We wish it didn't happen.

00:09We actually have some stuff that we have to do right now.

00:10I will say, Conor is here to meet with the President.

00:11He'll be meeting with him later this afternoon.

00:12We couldn't think of a better guest to have with us on St. Patrick's Day.

00:13We're both wearing our green.

00:14This was not planned, but very festive.

00:15And as you know, I'll be having a briefing later at 1 o'clock, so we'll talk more about

00:16that.

00:17We'll talk more about that.

00:18We'll talk more about that.

00:19We'll talk more about that.

00:20We'll talk more about that.

00:21And he's going over to meet with some other administration officials.

00:34He's spending the day in Washington, D.C.

00:35Yeah, for sure.

00:36I'm here to raise the issues the people of Ireland face.

00:38It will be music to the people of Ireland's ears.

00:40Never on the main stage has the issues the people of Ireland face been spoke.

00:47You know, our government has long since abandoned the voices of the people of Ireland, and it's

00:52high time that America is made aware of what is going on in Ireland.

00:56What is going on in Ireland is a travesty.

00:58Our government is the government of zero action with zero accountability.

01:03You know, our money is being spent on overseas issues that have nothing to do with the Irish

01:07people, the illegal immigration racket is running ravage on the country, there are rural

01:14towns in Ireland that have been overrun in one swoop, that have become a minority in

01:18one swoop.

01:19So, issues need to be addressed, and the 40 million Irish Americans, as I said, need to

01:24hear this, because if not, there will be no place to come home and visit.

01:28You know, Ireland is at the cusp of, you know, potentially losing its Irishness, and I'm

01:33here to raise the issue and highlight it, you know, it's also St. Patrick's Day, so

01:37a little bit of celebrations for sure, and you know, a little bit of learning and listening

01:42to Mr. President Trump, whose work ethic is inspiring, and all that does to me is highlight

01:49the lack of work on my side, so that's it, that's what I'm here for.

01:53Awesome.

01:55God bless.

01:56Bye guys, we'll see you later.
