00:00FBI Director Kash Patel said in a Sunday interview, quote, you cannot bring a firearm loaded with multiple magazines to any sort of protest.
00:08Does the president believe the Second Amendment rights remain in effect even when protesting?
00:13The president supports the Second Amendment rights of law abiding American citizens.
00:17Absolutely. There has been no greater supporter or defender of the right to bear arms than President Donald J. Trump.
00:24So while Americans have a constitutional right to bear arms, Americans do not have a constitutional right to impede lawful immigration enforcement operations.
00:35And any gun owner knows that when you are carrying a weapon, when you are bearing arms and you are confronted by law enforcement,
00:43you are raising the assumption of risk and the risk of force being used against you.
00:51And again, that's unfortunately what took place on Saturday.
00:53Is the administration willing to separate DHS funding from other funding bills in order to avoid a broader shutdown?
01:00Look, at this point, the White House supports the bipartisan work that was done to advance the bipartisan appropriations package.
01:07And we want to see that passed.
01:09Policy discussions on immigration in Minnesota are happening.
01:12Look, the president is leading those discussions, as evidenced by his correspondence with Governor Walz this morning.
01:17But that should not be at the expense of government funding for the American people, which would include, as you know, Alex, FEMA funding.
01:24And we are in the midst of the storm that took place over the weekend.
01:28And many Americans are still being impacted by that.
01:30So we absolutely do not want to see that funding lapse.
01:33And we want the Senate to move forward with passing the bipartisan appropriations package that was negotiated on a bipartisan basis.
01:40Caroline, regarding Minnesota, on Saturday, the Department of Homeland Security posted that Petty looks like he wanted to do maximum damage to massacre law enforcement.
01:50Stephen Miller on Saturday posted that called Petty a would-be assassin.
01:56Why did administration officials jump to conclusions before an investigation had even been conducted?
02:02Well, look, this has obviously been a very fluid and fast-moving situation throughout the weekend.
02:07As for President Trump, whom I speak for, he has said that he wants to let the investigation continue and let the facts lead in this case.
02:15With regards to the deployment of Tom Holman to Minneapolis, should the deployment of Mr. Holman to Minneapolis be seen as a sign that the president is dissatisfied with how the officials on the ground had handled the incident?
02:30No. Mr. Holman is doing an exceptional job, and he has been working with Secretary Noem and President Trump over the course of the last year.
02:38Secretary Noem still has the utmost confidence and trust of the president of the United States, and she's continuing to oversee the entire Department of Homeland Security and all of the immigration enforcement that's taking place across the whole entire country.
02:50Of course, Secretary Noem is also in charge of FEMA, and we are in the wake of a brutal winter storm where hundreds of thousands of Americans have been impacted by that.
02:58So, Borders Are Holman is in a unique position to drop everything and go to Minnesota to continue having these productive conversations with state and local officials, and I know that he's catching a plane in just a few hours to do just that at the request of the president.
