00:00I'm curious, you've just mentioned Rachel Morin.
00:02I'm a Maryland man, and I think most Marylanders appreciate what you were saying today.
00:06We've seen that Chris Van Hollen, who was Rachel Morin's senator,
00:16basically threatening to fly to El Salvador to press for the release of someone who was in America illegally.
00:23And not as much sort of from him about Rachel Morin's horrific murder
00:27and the verdict that was, I think, rightly reached yesterday.
00:30What does the administration think about the priorities we're seeing from Senate Democrats
00:34in terms of illegal immigrants instead of the work that agencies like ICE and DHS are doing with the Trump administration?
00:42It's mind-boggling, the priorities of the modern-day Democrat Party.
00:47I think it's atrocious that you have Democrats in Congress on Capitol Hill
00:52who swear an oath to protect their constituents and to serve them.
00:56in Washington, D.C., spending more time defending illegal immigrant gang members
01:02than their own constituents and law-abiding American citizens like Rachel Morin.
01:07And I saw the President personally on the campaign trail,
01:10and I continue to see him in his role as President of the United States,
01:14put American families first, reach out to the victims,
01:18the families of victims at the hands of illegal immigrant crime.
01:21And frankly, the actions and the words of the Democrat Party proved
01:24they could not care less about the American public.
01:26And maybe if they did, they'd see a bit higher approval ratings right now.
01:30Thanks for being here.
