Published | Video Starts at 25:17

So with that, from the bottom of my heart, I just want to say thank you. Thank you for what you do. Yes, My job as the Secretary of Homeland Security is a complicated one. I've got a lot of agencies that need to be fixed and bureaucracy that needs to be gone, gotten rid of, and people that need to be fired and money that needs to be given back to taxpayers and more bad hombres to get off the street. And I'll continue to do that. We're going to continue to get these criminals and these violent perpetuators of violence off of our streets. (25:17–25:32)
