I do. [ MUSIC ] The reforms I'm proposing would not apply to those who are here illegally. You lie! Oh! That's not true. And when you ask them, what specifically is your, Sir, I'm hear to speak to these folks. You can hold your own rally. [ APPLAUSE ] You're being rude. [ MUSIC ] I hear you, I got you. No, no, no, that's fine. These guys don't need to go. Let me finish. No, no, no. Let, you can stay there.

I respect the passion of these young people. I heard you. I heard you. I heard you, all right? Now I've been respectful. [ MUSIC ] And the answer to your question, sir. and the next time I'd prefer you let me finish my statements before you ask that question because this is the right thing to do for the American people. Let me address it. [ INAUDIBLE ]. Why don't you let me address it ma'am? [ INAUDIBLE ] Why don't you sit down and I will tell you exactly what I'm going to do. And I I wouldn't feel comfortable if I didn't have at least one heckler. Tell us about your plans for nuclear war with Russia.

Boo! I'm sorry. Who's that back there? See he thought happy hour started earlier. Not really. Maybe. [ Laughs .] It's classified. As a general rule, I am just fine with a few hecklers. [ Laughs .] But not when I'm up in the house. [ Applause .]
