00:00Remember that a nation without borders is no nation at all. And we're so thankful that we
00:19have a president that understands that and understands that a secure border is important
00:23to our country's future. Now if you look at the structure that's behind me, it's tall,
00:28which makes it very, very difficult to climb, almost impossible. It also goes deep into the
00:33ground, which would make it very difficult, if not impossible to dig under. And today we are also
00:39going to be painting it black. That is specifically at the request of the president who understands
00:45that in the hot temperatures down here, when something is painted black, it gets even warmer
00:51and it will make it even harder for people to climb. So we are going to be painting the entire
00:55southern border wall black to make sure that we encourage individuals to not come into our
01:02country illegally, to not break our federal laws, but that they will abide and come to our country
01:07the right way so that they can stay and have the opportunity to become United States citizens and
01:12pursue the American dream. Now we got an incredible amount of resources allocated to us in the big,
01:18beautiful bill. And we're so thankful for that because that's going to allow us to continue
01:22construction. The construction at right now is at the pace of a little bit less than a half a mile
01:28a day. And the border wall will look very different based on the topography and the geography of where
01:33it is built. Here you see structure, we will have waterborne infrastructure that will be put in place
01:39as well. And then that technology will be installed. And we'll utilize that to make sure that we're doing
01:46due diligence in securing every single inch of our border. And it's not just our southern border
01:52that we are concerned with and putting resources into. It is every border from our maritime seas to
01:57also our northern border to make sure that the American citizens can have safety but also that our laws are enforced.
