Oh, it's phenomenal. It's phenomenal what leadership can do in the White House to make a difference for the American people. You know, honestly, if you look at the southern border, which was the number one priority of this president and concern of the country, it's under 99% operational control, which is phenomenal.

We set the record for the lowest encounters at the border in February and March in the history of the nation. So not only did he fundamentally change everything, Yes. In the first 100 days. But he is doing a better job securing the border than we ever have in the nation's history.

Well, and what President Trump tasked me with specifically was communicating to people that we were securing our border. And if you were coming to this country to turn around and go back. So we actually have ads running in international countries that are running in Guatemala, El Salvador, Mexico that are saying, if you were thinking about coming to the United States illegally, don't do it.

You can't get in. And if you get here, you can be charged criminally and we will take you back. So there will be consequences if you continue.

Is that actually happening? Yes, they absolutely are. And that's the one thing that the president really wanted people to know is that there's consequences now. Before, under Joe Biden, you could break the law, you could perpetuate violence, you could do whatever you wanted to do, and they did nothing. But President Trump said, Christy, we need to communicate what the consequences are.

It's one of the reasons I visited that prison, was to talk to President Bukele, ask him not only— You know how he had fundamentally changed the future of his country, because if you think about what the transformation that has happened in El Salvador since he's been president, it's phenomenal. He's got one of the lowest murder rates in the world.
