00:00Worldwide, I think it's got to be more.

00:02So it's great.

00:03You know, when Johnny and I made the deal, I'd end up there with me there.

00:08We'll be watching it.

00:09So right opposite the front door of the White House.

00:13Would I launch strikes in Mexico to stop drugs?

00:17It's okay with me.

00:19Whatever we have to do to stop drugs, Mexico is...

00:22Look, I looked at Mexico City over the weekend.

00:25There's some big problems over there.

00:27And if we had to, would we do there what we've done to the waterways?

00:32You know, there's almost no drugs coming in through our waterways anymore.

00:35Isn't it down like 85%?

00:37It is, sir.

00:38I don't know who the 15% would be.

00:40It wouldn't be you.

00:41No, that's for sure.

00:42No, I think it's been...

00:44Tons and tons of...

00:46You would say that's a big signal.

00:47Absolutely.

00:48We have almost no drugs coming into our country by the sea, by, you know, the waterways.

00:55And you know why, okay?

00:56I mean, it's pretty obvious.

00:58Would I do that on the land corners?

01:03I would...

01:03Look, every boat we knock out, we save 25,000 American lives.

01:08Not to mention the destruction of families.

01:13Would you only do it with Mexico's permission, though?

01:15Well, I wouldn't answer that question.

01:20I've been speaking to Mexico.

01:23They know how I stand.

01:24We're losing hundreds of thousands of people to drugs.

01:28So now we've stopped the waterways.

01:30But we know every route.

01:32We know every route.

01:33We know the addresses of every drug lord.

01:36We know their address.

01:38We know their front door.

01:40We know everything about every one of them.

01:42They're killing our people.

01:43That's like a war.

01:45Would I do it?

01:45I'd be proud to.

01:46I'd probably go into Congress and say, hey.

01:49And you know what?

01:49The Democrats and the Republicans would both agree.

01:53Unless they're crazy.

01:55Big signal.

01:56Absolutely.

01:56We have almost no drugs coming into our country by the sea.

02:02We have lost hundreds of thousands of people to your death.

02:07And that's not talking about family destruction.

02:09It's talking about death.

02:11And much of it comes through Mexico.

02:13So let me just put it this way.

02:15I am not happy with Mexico.

02:17Okay?

02:17Thank you very much.

02:18Thank you guys.

02:19Thank you for having me.
