00:00Can President Bukele weigh in on this? Do you plan to return him?
00:03Well, I'm supposed to be suggesting that I smuggle a terrorist into the United States, right?
00:08How can I smuggle, how can I return him to the United States?
00:12Like, I smuggle him into the United States, or whether I do it, of course, I'm not going to do it.
00:17It's like, I mean, the question is preposterous.
00:20How can I smuggle a terrorist into the United States?
00:23I don't have the power to return him to the United States.
00:26So you can release him inside the Taliban?
00:28Yeah, but I'm not releasing, I mean, we're not very fond of releasing terrorists into our country.
00:32I mean, we just turned the murder capital of the world into the safest country in the Western Hemisphere,
00:35and you want us to go back into the releasing criminals so we can go back to being the murder capital of the world?
00:41No, that's not going to happen.
00:43Well, they'd love to have a criminal, you know, released into our country.
00:46I mean, there's a fascination.
00:48They would love it.
00:49Yeah.
00:50These are sick people.
00:51Well, Mr. President, you said that if the Supreme Court said someone needed to be returned, that you would abide by that.
00:56You said that on Air Force One just a few days ago.
00:58Why don't you just say, isn't it wonderful that we're keeping criminals out of our country?
01:02Why can't you just say that?
01:04Why do you go over and over?
01:06And that's why nobody watches you anymore.
01:08You know, you have no credibility.
01:10Please go ahead.
01:10All right.
