00:00I want to be here in the front end, but also potentially launching strikes in Mexico

00:05or putting American troops or American personnel into Mexico to deal with the cartels?

00:08Would I launch strikes in Mexico? To stop drugs?

00:12It's okay with me.

00:14Whatever we have to do to stop drugs, Mexico is...

00:18Look, I looked at Mexico City over the weekend.

00:20There's just some big problems over there.

00:23If we had to, would we do there what we've done to the waterways?

00:27You know, there's almost no drugs coming in through our waterways anymore.

00:31Isn't it down like 85%?

00:32It is, sir.

00:33I don't know who the 15% would be.

00:35It wouldn't be you.

00:37No, that's for sure.

00:38I think it's been...

00:40Tons and tons of drugs.

00:41You would say that's a big signal.

00:42Absolutely.

00:43We have almost no drugs coming into our country by the sea, by, you know, the waterways.

00:50And you know why, okay?

00:51I mean, it's pretty obvious.

00:52Would I do that on the land cars?

00:58I would absolutely...

00:59Look, every boat we knock out, we save 25,000 American lives.

01:04Not to mention the destruction of families.

01:07These families are decimated forever.

01:10The mother, the father, the children.

01:13They never recover really from it.

01:15You know, when you lose somebody like the way they live...

01:18If you lose them, but the way they die is horrible.

01:21So when we knock out a boat and we save 25,000 lives, that's great.

01:26Now, do I feel the same way about the corridors that they use?

01:30We know every one of them.

01:32We have every one of those corridors under major surveillance.

01:37We have nobody coming in through our southern border.

01:39But we know exactly how they get their things here, how they get the drugs here.

01:45Fentanyl, cocaine.

01:48Colombia has cocaine factories, where they make cocaine.

01:52Would I knock out those factories?

01:54I would be proud to do it, personally.

01:56I didn't say I'm doing it, but I would be proud to do it.

02:00Because we're going to save millions of lives by doing it.

02:03Would you only draw to beat Mexico's permission, though?

02:06I wouldn't answer that question.

02:09I've been speaking to Mexico.

02:11They know how I stand.

02:13We're losing hundreds of thousands of people to drugs.

02:17So now we've stopped the waterways.

02:19But we know every route.

02:20We know every route.

02:21We know the addresses of every drug lord.

02:24We know their address.

02:26We know their front door.

02:28We know everything about every one of them.

02:30They're killing our people.

02:31That's like a war.

02:33Would I do it?

02:34I'd be proud to.

02:35I'd probably go into Congress and say, hey.

02:37And you know what?

02:38The Democrats and the Republicans would both agree.

02:41Unless they're crazy.

02:43And they are a little crazy on the Democrat side.

02:46But we have lost hundreds of thousands of people a year dead.

02:54And that's not talking about family destruction.

02:56It's talking about that.

02:58And much of it comes through Mexico.

03:00So let me just put it this way.

03:02I am not happy with Mexico.

03:04Okay?
