00:00more for you on that. Deanna. Thanks, Caroline. Two questions, one on the beautiful bill,
00:05one on immigration. Sure. Yesterday, Trump said we will be negotiating that bill,
00:10and I'm not happy about certain aspects of it, but I'm thrilled by other aspects of it.
00:15Wondering if you could share any specifics on that. And in immigration, do you know how many
00:20illegal migrants have taken Trump's voucher program so far and have deported themselves?
00:25I believe it's in the thousands of those who have chosen the way, the easier route of
00:31self-deportation, and we certainly encourage all illegal aliens who are present within our homeland
00:37to take that option. It's a much more pleasant option than being deported, and we will deport
00:41you if you're here illegally. That's our intention. As for the first question, what the President was
00:46speaking about is how this is a great bill. However, it has come as a result of a hard negotiation.
00:52It's difficult to get things done on Capitol Hill, but thanks to President Trump, this
00:57bill is moving in the right direction. And thanks to House Republicans and the leadership
01:02over there as well, who did a great job mediating both sides of the caucus to move this bill
01:06to the Senate. And now the President, again, has told his friends on the Senate side and
01:09is already engaged in those conversations to get that bill back to his desk as soon as possible.
01:14Sure.
