NOW THE REST OF MY INTERVIEW  WITH VICE PRESIDENT VANCE.  >> Bret: FEDERAL JUDGE BANS THE  USE OF ALIEN ENEMIES ACT TO  DEPORT ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS.  WHAT'S YOUR REACTION TO THAT?  THERE ARE A LOT OF LAWSUITS, A  LOT OF JUDGES WEIGHING IN.  THIS ONE SEEMS LIKE IT'S PRETTY  SIGNIFICANT.  >> SO, THREE QUICK REACTIONS.  FIRST OF ALL, THE JUDGE DOESN'T  MAKE THAT DETERMINATION WHETHER  THE ALIEN ENEMIES ACT CAN BE  DEPLOYED.  I THINK THE PRESIDENT OF THE  UNITED STATES IS THE ONE WHO  DETERMINES WHETHER THIS COUNTRY  IS BEING INVADED AND UNDER THE  BIDEN ADMINISTRATION IT WAS.  THE NUMBER TWO, OF COURSE,  DISTRICT COURT JUDGES CAN MAKE  THEIR RULINGS.  WE'RE AGGRESSIVE APPEALING THIS  STUFF.  WE DO THINK THAT THE HIGHER  APPEALS COURT AND IN PARTICULAR  THE SUPREME COURT IS GOING TO  RECOGNIZE IMMIGRATION  ENFORCEMENT IS A CORE FUNCTION  OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED  STATES.  IF YOU TELL THE PRESIDENT HE IS  NOT ALLOWED TO DEPORT ILLEGAL  CRIMINALS, THEN YOU ARE TELL  TELLING THE PRESIDENT IS HE NOT  ALLOWED TO BE THE PRESIDENT.  WE REJECT THAT.  WE THINK THE SUPREME COURT IS  GOING TO REJECT THAT THE FINAL  POINT HERE, BRET, WE KNEW THIS  WAS GOING TO HAPPEN.  WE KNEW THERE ARE VERY WELL  FUNDED, VERY PASSIONATE FAR LEFT  INTEREST GROUPS WHO LOVE, I  DON'T KNOW WHY THEY LOVE IT, BUT  THEY LOVE HAVING VIOLENT  CRIMINALS.  THEY LOVE HAVING 20 MILLION  ILLEGAL ALIENS IN THE UNITED  STATES OF AMERICA.  WE DON'T LOVE THAT WE WERE  ELECTED TO CHANGE IT.  WE DIDN'T THINK IT WAS GOING TO  BE EASY.  THE PRESIDENT, IN PARTICULAR, HE  SAID THEY ARE GOING TO TRY STOP  US AT EVERY SINGLE STEP OF THE  WAY FROM DEPORTING THE MINISTER  OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS THAT JOE  BIDEN LET IN BUT HE'S DOING HIS  JOB.  I'M DOING MY JOB AND I THINK  WE'RE GOING TO GET THERE.  >> Bret: ARE YOU RUNNING POINTS  ON THE BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL?  ARE YOU GOING TO BE ACTIVE IN  TRYING TO GET THAT ACROSS THE  FINISH LINE AND WHERE IS IT?  >> WELL, I TALKED TO JOHN THUNE  ABOUT IT LAST NIGHT, ACTUALLY.  I WOULD SAY THE PEOPLE RUNNING  POINT JOHN THUNE AND MIKE  JOHNSON GREAT HOUSE AND SENATE  LEADERSHIP WE HAVE.  NEGOTIATING  THE DEAL MAKING.  LOOK, BRET, I FEEL VERY GOOD  ABOUT IT.  WE GOT EVERY LEGISLATIVE WIN WE  HAVE WANTED THUS FAR.  YES, OF COURSE, I WILL BE  WORKING IT AGGRESSIVELY.  WHEN YOU ASK WILL I BE THE POINT  PERSON I GUARANTEE YOU DO YOU  KNOW WHO IS GOING TO MAKE A LOT  OF PHONE CALLS?  DONALD J. TRUMP, THE PRESIDENT  OF THE UNITED STATES.  I WILL MAKE A LOT OF PHONE  CALLS.  I I'M SURE MIKE JOHNSON AND JOHN  THUNE WILL GET THIS DONE.  IF WE DON'T DO IT, BRET, VERY  SIMPLY ON THE POLICY.  THE POLITICS MATTER.  IF WE DON'T DO, THIS MILLIONS  AND MILLIONS OF AMERICANS ARE  GOING TO SEE THE BIGGEST TAX  INCREASE THEY HAVE SEEN IN A  GENERATION.  WE CAN'T LET THAT HAPPEN.  WHERE WE SAY WE WANT TO REBUILD  AMERICAN MANUFACTURING, PART OF  THAT IS MAKING IT EASIER FOR  AMERICAN BUSINESSES TO INVEST IN  OUR COUNTRY.  THE BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL IS A CORE  PART OF THAT.  >> Bret: CUTTING SPEND SOMETHING  A CORE PART.  DOGE HAS DONE THINGS.  I HAVE INTERVIEWED ELON AND ALL  HIS TEAM.  WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THAT AS  IS EXITING THE STAGE.  >> FIRST OF ALL, IS HE NOT  REALLY EXITING THE STAGE.  HE CAME IN SAYING I'M GOING TO  WORK ON THIS SIX MONTHS.  HE'S NOT GOING TO DISAPPEAR BY  THE WAY.  IS HE STILL GOING TO PLAY A  REGULAR ROLE.  IS HE NOT GOING TO BE IN  WASHINGTON EVERY SINGLE DAY  BECAUSE HE HAS A DAY JOB.  I THINK WHAT THEY HAVE ALREADY  DONE IS AMAZING.  I THINK THAT WE'RE GOING TO --  I'M OPTIMISTIC, YOU NEVER KNOW  UNTIL YOU KNOW.  WE'RE NOT GOING TO SEE THE HE  KNOW THE FULL SCALE OF DOGE  SAVINGS UNTIL 2026 UNTIL WE GET  TO 2026.  I THINK WHAT WE WILL LOOK BACK  WE CUT OUT A TON OF WASTE AND  FRAUD IN OUR OWN GOVERNMENT AND  SAVED THE AMERICAN TAXPAYERS  HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS AND MAYBE  MORE DOLLARS THROUGH THIS  EFFORT.  ONE OF THE BIGGEST IMPROVEMENTS  IN GOVERNMENT EFFICIENCY WE HAVE  SEEN IN THE HISTORY OF OUR  REPUBLIC, I THINK A VERY, VERY  GOOD THING FOR THE AMERICAN  PEOPLE.  >> Bret: MR. VICE PRESIDENT  THANK YOU FOR THE TIME.  >> OF COURSE.  >>  >> Bret: THANK YOU FOR TAKING TO"}]
