00:00Mr. President, Mr. President, some senators have expressed hope that the White House will
00:05support a rescission package to codify some of the doge cuts into law.
00:09Where does the White House stand on that, and are you making progress on that?
00:11Which package?
00:12A rescission package to codify some of the doge cuts into law.
00:16You know what?
00:17That would be great.
00:18I think we're going to do that.
00:19I think they're going to do it.
00:20I think we're also going to be codifying a lot of the executive orders that we've done,
00:25which have been very popular.
00:27And we're looking at one, I will tell you right now, that I think perhaps will be controversial,
00:31but not with the people, and that's sanctuary cities.
00:34We're going to end sanctuary cities for some of these jurisdictions that aren't cooperating
00:40with law enforcement.
00:43They're guarding criminals, they're taking the rights away from the citizens of this
00:48state and this city, and we're going to be ending sanctuary cities if we find it necessary
00:54to do in certain major areas.
00:57And we may just end the entire thing altogether, because it's just a way of protecting criminals,
01:03and nobody else is benefited by that.
01:05And for some reason, Democrats want to keep and they want to shield criminals from being
01:09sent back to their countries or being sent to prison.
01:12And in the meantime, the crime rate has gone through the roof.
01:16Under Biden, it was through the roof.
01:18It's starting to come down, but we're taking a lot of people out of here.
01:21So we may be presenting you very shortly with a executive order ending sanctuary cities.
