| 0:00.0 | Do we have any sense of what would happen to the 800,000 people in the program currently |
| 0:07.0 | who really the Obama administration encouraged to come out from the shadows and register? |
| 0:13.0 | They're far more vulnerable now than they were before the program began. |
| 0:17.0 | Yeah, without question. In fact, we're looking now at the second generation of some of these folks. |
| 0:22.0 | Many of these DACA recipients who came here, average age seven, many of them are now parents and their children are U.S. citizens because they were born here. |
| 0:29.4 | So that presents a whole different set of questions. To answer your question, what if the Trump administration won? |

| 1:15.4 | Congress more likely to do something? And your guess, theirs is as good in mind. |
| 1:18.7 | Seriously, dude, this is unbelievable that, you know, nine guys and girls in robes are |

| 1:41.3 | I mean, it's so unbelievable. So Donald Trump stands on his stage and he |
