00:00Those reforms that President Bukele had to put into place often faced judicial resistance, much like the reforms President Trump is putting in place are facing judicial resistance.
00:11So talk a little bit about how the success and the hope in El Salvador actually had to overcome the tyranny of the judiciary in that country.
00:20Brilliant, man. Brilliant. As I told you before, the MS-13 were not just, as I call it, oh, there was just a gang of bad guys. No.
00:26They were a terrorist-controlled organization. They were organized, a criminal organization, and they controlled congressmen, senators, judges, even presidents.
00:37So when Nayib Bukele started the reforms, what they did was exactly as they're doing with President Donald Trump, and this is very, very dangerous because if the United States had something, it was the institutionalization of due balance, the process.
00:51And now it's like a war that they tried to stop Trump. That's what they did with Bukele.
00:57So the judges in El Salvador, what they did was ruling extra petita, that is in law, was called ruling more than they've been asked for.
01:07So they tried to stop all the reforms that Nayib Bukele was doing, and Nayib Bukele, and that is something that we have to analyze.
01:15We also had it here in the Dominican Republic in 2012 when they conformed the constitutional tribunal, and we have to do a reformation of the high courts because they were controlled by politics.
01:28They were overruling decisions that were in favor of the people.
01:32So when Nayib Bukele did, he denounced a judicial coup to his president, so he submitted the Assembly, National Assembly, so they can pick new judges.
01:41And after that, we all didn't see the results.
01:44El Salvador right now, it's incredible to say, is safer than the United States, safer than Canada.
01:49El Salvador right now is the safest country in America and the second safest country in the world.
01:56You say that 20 years ago, you will call me crazy.
01:58But that means there's political will, there's political determination to change, to do change in favor of the people, and you can get things done, and the people appreciate it.
02:10And I always quote Nayib Bukele when he says, if you pardon the wolf, you sacrifice the chiefs.
02:16So the righteous people, the people that work, the people that want to get in their country and to develop their belief there, don't deserve to be in fear of people that, oh, they have human rights.
02:30Yeah, human rights.
02:31No, human rights have the people, honest people.
02:33If you violate rights, you need justice.
02:35And the justice has to be severe.
02:38Human rights, when they kill innocent men, when they kill a cop, you don't see the human rights NGOs, organizations say, oh, my God, the criminals are bad.
02:45No, when you kill a criminal, oh, they see a report from International Amnesty, there are 30 prisoners that got dead in the El Salvador's prison.
02:55Uh-huh.
02:56And how many deaths were killed by murder for those same prisoners?
02:59So, sorry, maybe I sound bad, but what Nayib Bukele is doing, and he's exporting that model.
03:05When you see that in countries like Spain, countries like France, with Marine Le Pen, with Santiago Pascal, with Macarena Alona, with Ivana Espinosa in Spain, with Viktor Orban in Hungary,
03:15they're exporting that model here in the American Republic also.
03:19We're trying to do some reforms about that person.
