00:00Let me make one final plea, Mr. President.
00:04Millions have put their trust in you.
00:06And as you told the nation yesterday, you have felt the providential hand of a loving God.
00:13In the name of our God, I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now.
00:22There are gay, lesbian and transgender children in democratic, republican and independent families.
00:31Some who fear for their lives.
00:34The people who pick our crops and clean our office buildings,
00:38who labour in poultry farms and meat packing plants,
00:41they may not be citizens or have the proper documentation.
00:47But the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals.
00:51In a statement on his Truth Social account, President Trump responded,
00:54The so-called bishop who spoke at the National Prayer Service on Tuesday morning
00:57was a radical left hardline Trump hater.
00:59She brought her church into the world of politics in a very ungracious way.
01:02She was nasty in tone and not compelling or smart.
01:05She failed to mention the large number of illegal migrants that came into our country and killed people.
01:09Many were deposited from jails and mental institutions.
01:12It is a giant crime wave that is taking place in the USA.
01:15Apart from her inappropriate statements, the service was a very boring and uninspiring one.
01:20She is not very good at her job. She and her church owe the public an apology.
