00:00There was a lot there, and I'm going to try to respond to as much of it as I can.

00:04So on the question of immigration, so first of all, I can believe that we should have

00:10lower immigration levels, but if the United States passed a law and made a promise to

00:16somebody, the United States, of course, has to honor that promise.

00:20Nobody's talking about that.

00:21I'm talking about people who came in in violation of the laws of the United States of America,

00:26and I'm talking about in the future, reducing the number, reducing the number of people.

00:32Sorry, what?

00:34Can I continue on that?

00:35Because when you just said you are not stopping with the people who came here legally, right?

00:42But you are pushing out policies that hurt us, and these policies are not even solving the problems.

00:50These policies are just creating chaos.

00:52Okay, so again, I'm going to finish answering the question, and then if I've answered all

01:00nine of your questions in less than 15 minutes, then we can keep on going.

01:18while also respecting that there are people who have come here through lawful immigration

01:24pathways that have contributed to the country.

01:26But just because one person or 10 people or 100 people came in legally and contributed

01:32to the United States of America, does that mean that we're thereby committed to let in

01:37a million or 10 million or 100 million people a year in the future?

01:41No, that's not right.

01:42So here's the thing.

01:48I got to get it.
