00:00The President there said he would be willing to take American citizens in the federal prison

00:04population.

00:05Is that one of the ideas you're going to be discussing?

00:06Well, I love that.

00:07If we could take some of our 20-time wise guys that push people into subways and that

00:13hit people over the back of the head and that purposely run people over in cars, if you

00:18would take them, I'd be honored to give them.

00:20I don't know what the law says on that, but I can't imagine the law would say anything

00:24different.

00:25If we can house these horrible criminals for a lot less money than it costs us, I'm all

00:31for it.

00:32But I'd only do according to the law.

00:34But I have suggested that, you know, why should it stop just at people that cross the border

00:38illegally?

00:39We have some horrible criminals, American grown and born.

00:44And if we have somebody that bops an old woman over the head, if we have somebody that is

00:51in jail 20 times and goes back and shoots people all over the place and then has a bad

00:56judge or a bad prosecutor that do nothing about them, all they worry about is politics.

01:01They don't worry about that.

01:03I think if we could get El Salvador or somebody to take them, I'd be very happy with it.

01:09But I have to see what the law says.

01:10Okay.

01:11What else?
