But I do believe if the president focuses on going after his enemies, he's going to lose the ability to bring order to the border. to get the most violent undocumented immigrants out of the country and make people feel safe in communities where they don't feel safe.

And I looked at him and I said, no, you mean it's like 300 plus million. I thought he misspoke. He said, no. He said, there are 3 billion people in the world who would give up everything to come to the United States. And he said, if you get it right, he said, you can pick the best. That's right.

Russia had a preferred candidate and they did a lot to try and get that guy to win. I think he could have. And I think he may regret that in a lot of his trolling, he made himself look guiltier when he probably could have shown us that the concerns we had weren't there.

I think that's a great message.
