It's important for EPA to be operating as efficiently as possible, and we're not going to operate under this mentality that challenging the status quo is unacceptable. It's some sacred cow. We inherited all these Bioneer regulations. We aren't going to treat those as if they're etched in stone. And as we see tens of billions of dollars going out through self-dealing and conflicts of interest, unqualified recipients and reduced agency oversight, we're going to take action. We will have a zero-tolerance policy for any waste and abuse. So these are the principles that we bring in. And the Trump mandate at the Trump EPA is making sure that we're operating as efficiently as possible and we're powering the great American comeback.

>> Let's talk about the border. >> Okay. >> Let's talk about deportations. Border crossings are at their lowest level ever recorded. Is the border- >> Is that good? >> Is the border now secure? >> Yeah, it's really secure. >> It's absolutely secure. >> When you say that, doesn't that just sound good? After being abused for years by an incompetent president that allowed people to pour through an open border, criminals from all over the world, murderers and insane people from mental institutions. And insane asylum, isn't it? Isn't it a beautiful thing when you say it's the most secure it's ever been in the history of our country? Isn't that a nice statement?

I have been investigated more than any person in the history of the United States of America. I've been investigated more than the late great, as I say at my rallies, Alphonse Capone. Alphonse Capone was a nasty man. He was the highest level gangster. And I have been investigated more than Al Capone, more than anybody. These people are evil people and I won, and I'll tell you what. All I want to happen is for the Department of Justice and the FBI. Pam is great and Cash is great. I think they're two great people, but they're their own people. They want to do a fantastic job. And all I want to do and all I want to ask for is that they be allowed to do their job. I'm not telling them to do anything, and I believe I have the right to do it. I'm, in theory, the top law enforcement officer as the president. We went over this once before, and it turned out I was right. But I'm not looking to use that. We have two great people and we have many, many incredible people under them. And I just want them to do their job and do it well.

And you know what I can't name? I can't name one Democrat. I mean, I look at the Democrats, they're in total disarray. They have a new person named Crockett. I watched her speak the other day. She's definitely a low IQ person. And they said she's the future of the party. I said, you have to be kidding. I don't know what they're gonna do. And I really believe in a two party system. Because it's good to be challenged. It's really good to have a two party. You know, being challenged is okay. It keeps you sharp. I don't know what they're gonna do. They have nobody. Bernie's 87 years old or something. And you know, Biden is the worst thing that ever happened to old people. Because he was grossly incompetent. And I think maybe for artificial reasons, generally at operations and things. So maybe that's an artificial. But I know people that are unbelievably sharp and they're older than 87. But I watch Bernie Sanders. He's a nut job, but he's still sharp. He's the same guy he was. He hasn't gone down. But Biden is really, he's the worst thing to happen to old people.

So, the president has been very clear, he does not want to cut benefits for individuals on Medicaid, Medicare. He wants to create efficiencies and reforms. He shows an openness to work requirements. He wants to make sure illegals are not receiving public assistance through these benefits. But Shannon, there's also numerous other things that we can look at. We can eliminate bad tax policy and replace it with tax relief for working families. For example, the green new tax scam that the Biden administration moved forward, there's hundreds of billions of dollars to eliminate there that could pay for no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, tax relief for seniors, and we're going to deliver on that.

>> Border crossings have plunged under Trump. According to Customs and Border Protection, there were over 22,000 encounters at the southern border in February and March this year, compared to over 378,000 in the same period last year. And according to the Department of Homeland Security, the administration has deported 150,000 people in its first 100 days.
