The transcript discusses President Trump's proposal to build a border wall between the US and Mexico, starting with his campaign promise and subsequent executive order. It covers the estimated cost, initial construction efforts, and legal challenges faced, including environmental concerns.

The final decision from the 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals was pending.
