00:00If things go your way in court this afternoon regarding the Enemies Act, how many more flights

00:06do you anticipate would head towards El Salvador in the coming days?

00:10Well, I'm not going to reveal details of the President's full plan and the administration's

00:15full plan with respect to the dismantlement and eradication of TDA, but a few points on

00:21this.

00:22One is that the President reserves the right to exercise all necessary authorities to secure

00:27the homeland and to repel any invasion or incursion.

00:32The judge, which is truth beyond comprehension and belief, issued his unlawful order without

00:39even receiving any information on this terrorist organization, on the diplomacy that it conducted

00:45internationally by the Secretary of State, any briefing from the intelligence community,

00:52any information at all, let alone the fact that he's trying to issue the movement of

00:59aircraft that are operating outside the United States, the legal equivalent of directing

01:05troop movements overseas or moving around an aircraft carrier on matters of essential

01:11national security.

01:12It is certainly, I would think without question, the most unlawful order that any district

01:18court judge has issued in our lifetimes without even a close second, and it put the lives

01:22in danger of the homeland security personnel on those aircraft, and it jeopardized enormous,

01:32massive diplomatic and security issues across the entirety of the Western Hemisphere.

01:37At a fundamental level, a district court judge has no authority to direct the national security

01:42operations of the executive branch.

01:44The president is operating at the apex of his authority when you are dealing with questions

01:49of invasion and questions of alien enemy infiltration, as well as the expulsion of terrorist illegal

01:57aliens from the country.

01:59That's the president operating at the absolute apex of his constitutional authority, and

02:03the founding generation that wrote this law very clearly, these are the same people who

02:08wrote the constitution, very clearly wanted to ensure the president had the broadest range

02:15of authority to remove from the nation non-citizens who are part of an alien enemy force.

02:21And that's the authority the president has, and in the coming days, you will see the full

02:25suite of presidential authorities used to extirpate this gang, this terrorist organization

02:31from our soil.

02:32So the other Americans won't be concerned they'll be deported without due process?

02:36When we use the word Americans, we're talking about illegal alien foreign terrorists.

02:40So illegal alien foreign terrorists should be concerned that they will be deported from

02:44the country, because they will be deported from the country, yes.
