President-elect Donald Trump’s national security adviser Mike Waltz previewed some of the executive orders that Trump is expected to sign shortly after being sworn into office on Monday at noon.

Waltz made the remarks during a Sunday interview with Margaret Brennan on CBS News’ “Meet The Press” when asked what Trump had planned.

“We’re going to have his campaign promises that he promised to the American people right out there on the table, in terms of border, in terms of energy, in terms of taking on this kind of DEI, woke culture that has infected so many parts of our federal government, including our military, returning us to a meritocracy,” Waltz said.

“I can’t emphasize enough though, on the border, the American people gave him a clear mandate: lock down our border, deport the worst of the worst, take on the cartels,” he continued. “We cannot have a situation where we have paramilitary gangs that are shooting down aircraft with heavy weapons, controlling 30 percent of our neighbor Mexico and controlling whole swathes of our border.”

He said that the Mexican drug cartels “are paramilitary organizations with billions at their disposal, with armored vehicles, heavy machine guns that are fighting the Mexican army, not police, army, to a standstill.”

Waltz said that Trump would focus first on getting criminal illegal aliens out of the country and returning them to their countries of origin.
