16
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:55,040

Speaker 4: with someone named jd Vance.

18
00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:59,040

00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 1: So welcome.

20
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 3: Thank you.

21
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 1: You have been Attorney General fifteen.

22
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 3: Day it feels like fifteen years.

23
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 1: I believe you.

24
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 4: And by the way, you just got some help an

25
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 4: hour ago. The Senate just finished confirmation.

26
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:21,560
Speaker 3: Yeah. I've been on the phone with him NonStop.

27
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:24,400
Speaker 4: I talked to him on the ride over here. He

28
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:29,560
Speaker 4: is going to do fantastic. All right, let's start fifteen days,

29
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:32,760
Speaker 4: You've come into what I think is the single most

30
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:36,959
Speaker 4: important cabinet position in this administration, because we went through

31
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:41,400
Speaker 4: four years of Biden weaponizing the Department of Justice, using

32
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:45,039
Speaker 4: it to attack his enemies and to support his friends.

33
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 4: So let me ask you, come into DOJ. You've got

34
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 4: a mission. You've got a mission to restore integrity to

35
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 4: the department, to end the weaponization and politicization.

36
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 1: How do you do that? How do you get that done?

37
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 5: You know the volume, Senator, what concerned me the most.

38
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 5: It's the volume of how bad it was and it

39
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 5: still is. We're working on it. It's day by day

40
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:14,800
Speaker 5: by day. But we've got a team of great people.

41
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 5: And on day one I issued fourteen executive orders, and

42
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 5: number one is the weaponization ends, and it ends now.

43
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:23,640
Speaker 3: And that's what we did.

44
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 1: Let me ask you something. In the fifteen days you've

45
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 1: been there, how many DOJ employees have said something to

46
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 1: the effect of thank God? A lot of them, I

47
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:40,119
Speaker 1: believe you. Look.

48
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 4: I spent four years hearing from a USA's assistant US attorneys,

49
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 4: hearing from FBI agents, hearing from men and women who

50
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 4: believe in the rule of law and were horrified at

51
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 4: the politicization of the FBI and the DOJ, and so

52
00:02:56,320 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 4: I know for a lot of good, honorable men and

53
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 4: women who devoted their careers to defending the Constitution.

54
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 1: There's a lot of gratitude that they can get back

55
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 1: to doing their job.

56
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 3: Their core function. And that's thanks to Donald J.

57
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:17,240
Speaker 5: Trump getting back in office, and he gave us a

58
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 5: clear directive make America safe.

59
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 3: And that's what we're going to do. And you know,

60
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 3: these to start with.

61
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 5: The law enforcement agencies talking about cash. These men and

62
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 5: women didn't go to Quantico. They're not risking their lives

63
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 5: to waste their time on all this politicization and rating

64
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 5: mar A Lago. Really stopping all of that is stopping,

65
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 5: and we are returning them to their core function fighting

66
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 5: violent crime. And that's what the great majority of men

67
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:47,839
Speaker 5: and women in law enforcement DEA A. T. F. US

68
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 5: Marshall's FBI, as well as the incredible legal team at

69
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 5: the Justice Department, that's what they want to do.

70
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 4: So let's talk about one of the most lawless aspects

71
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 4: of the last four years, which was the open borders

72
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 4: that we saw and the twelve million illegal immigrants that

73
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 4: have come into this country.

74
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 1: You've had just two weeks, but you've hit.

75
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 4: The ground running, going after the criminals, going after the murderers,

76
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 4: going after the rapists, going after the child molesters, going

77
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 4: after the Venezuelan gang members. Tell us number one, what

78
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 4: you're doing as Attorney General, that is making a real difference,

79
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 4: that is already making America safer. And number two, I

80
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 4: understand you have some breaking news concerning my home state

81
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 4: of Texas, which I'm particularly proud to hear.

82
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 5: I do, I do, and the press really even out yet.

83
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 5: Joint Task Force Alpha that we elevated once we came

84
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:45,360
Speaker 5: in office. It's with the Department of Justice and the FBI,

85
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 5: and we work hand in hand with Homeland Security. Christinome

86
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:51,239
Speaker 5: is awesome. We all worked so well together. Joint Task

87
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 5: Force Alpha just made a huge arrest in Warres Texas, Warres, Mexico.

88
00:04:56,360 --> 00:05:02,360
Speaker 5: They were headed to Texas to El Paso and smuggling. Yeah.

89
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:06,720
Speaker 3: Huge. That's why we do what we do every day.

90
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:11,360
Speaker 5: That's why these agents risk their lives every single day.

91
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 3: It's humans smuggling and.

92
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:17,719
Speaker 5: A lot of children, a lot of children they're saying

93
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:19,040
Speaker 5: are safer because of this.

94
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 6: I want to tell you about our friends over at

95
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,919
Speaker 6: Patriot Mobile. While we may have won the election, the

96
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 6: fight to restore our great nation is only beginning, and

97
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 6: now is the time for you to take a stand

98
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 6: with your dollars. And Patriot Mobile is leading the charge

99
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 6: with conservative companies that are fighting back. They are America's

100
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:40,680
Speaker 6: only Christian conservative wireless provider. I use them, I know

101
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:45,039
Speaker 6: hundreds of others that use them personally, family friends, business

102
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:47,719
Speaker 6: owners that I know have switched to Patriot Mobile because

103
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:51,040
Speaker 6: they offer a way to vote with your wallet without

104
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,839
Speaker 6: compromising on quality or convenience. You may not know, but

105
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:59,719
Speaker 6: Big Mobile gives big donations to democratic causes, candidates and organizations,

106
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 6: radical organizations, including those that advocate, support and pay for abortions.

107
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 6: That is why I made the switch to Patriot Mobile.

108
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:12,560
Speaker 6: Because Patriot Mobile isn't just about providing exceptional cell phone service.

109
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:16,280
Speaker 6: It's a call to action to defend our rights and freedoms.

110
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 6: With Patriot Mobile, every time you pay your bill, you

111
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:21,720

00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:27,600
Speaker 6: as well as standing with our veterans, our wounded warriors,

114

126
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:05,040
Speaker 2: has made headlines on what you're just talking about. We've

127
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 2: designated these cartels as terrorist organizations. What does that allow

128
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 2: you to do in your job and cash for tail?

00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:16,560

00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:17,360

Speaker 5: we are right leading this effort with all of us,

134
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 5: Mike Waltz at DoD we all work so Pete Hugseth,

135
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 5: we all work so well together, and it gives us

136
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 5: the ability.

137
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 3: It gives they are a terrorist group.

138
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 5: And it gives us the ability to go after them,

00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 5: more ability anywhere in the world and treat.

140
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 3: Them as terrorists. They are terrorists.

141
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 5: If you're bringing Fittanel into this country and killing our kids,

142
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 5: you're a terrorist and we're coming after you.

143
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:55,880
Speaker 2: Three a day is the average that are dying in

144
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:58,240
Speaker 2: this country right now. When you took this job, and

145
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 2: you hear that number, and you so the inaction from

146
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 2: the last administration, How angry did that make you so angry?

147
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 5: United State ag before I became United States Attorney General

148
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:12,840
Speaker 5: and Fintanahl was really just coming on the market.

149
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 3: And now with this horrible open.

150
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 5: Border policy, just flowing flowing across our borders and killing kids,

151
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 5: killing adults every single day, and it's criminal that no

152
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 5: one was doing anything to stop it.

153
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 3: I can't comprehend how.

154
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 5: Any administration, progressive nor conservative, how any administration could tolerate

155
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:39,280
Speaker 5: that and let that happen. And it ended day one

156
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 5: with Donald Trump when he shut that border. I was

157
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:44,679
Speaker 5: at the border back in September. I went with lar

158
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:48,960
Speaker 5: Trump and Morgan Ortegas, Yep and we were in Yuma, Arizona,

159
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 5: and I saw firsthand there is nothing humanitarian that was happening.

160
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 3: At that border, Nothing nothing.

161
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:59,720
Speaker 5: They have a rape tree where they're raping women as

162
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 5: they're coming into this country. I saw firsthand piles and

163
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 5: piles of passports just thrown from every country you can imagine,

164
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 5: because the Biden administration was letting you walk right in

165
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 5: the country if you didn't have a passport. They said

166
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 5: they saw Asian Chinese individuals saying, oh, we're from Cuba,

167
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 5: so they wrote down there from Cuba, and let had

168
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:22,719
Speaker 5: to let them legally walk right in under that administration.

169
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 5: But the drugs, the trafficking, I learned a new term,

170
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 5: disposable child. That the customs, the border, the border patrol

171
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:34,200
Speaker 5: agents told me that they saw a little boy and

172
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 5: they kept recognizing the same little boy over and over

173
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 5: and over coming in because if you came into our

174
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 5: country as a family unit, they just let you walk

175
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:44,480
Speaker 5: right in.

176
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 3: This little child was being trafficked.

177
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 5: Yes, now how they were getting him back to Mexico

178
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 5: is beyond me. But they were bringing him time and

179
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 5: time again. He wasn't their family, so who knows what

180
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:56,319
Speaker 5: happened to his parents?

181
00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 4: Well, and I will say a number of people in

182
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:02,200
Speaker 4: the room gasped at a term use, which unfortunately is

183
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 4: a real term, rape tree, and it's something that we're seeing.

184
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 4: We've been seeing for the last four years in Texas.

185
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:13,080
Speaker 4: We've seen it in Arizona that the cartels will go

186
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 4: and violently rape women.

187
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 1: They'll violently rape teenage girls, young girls, and then they

188
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:23,720
Speaker 1: will hang their underwear in the tree. And you'll find

189
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:24,520
Speaker 1: a tree.

190
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 4: Down on the southern border with ten twenty pairs of

191
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:30,840
Speaker 4: underwear as their mocking law enforcement, saying we can do

192
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:35,080
Speaker 4: whatever we want. And for four years, the Biden Justice Department,

193
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:39,120
Speaker 4: they just turned a blind eye and they facilitated it.

194
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:41,079
Speaker 4: You know, you talked about the kids, So they had

195
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 4: a policy if you arrive with a kid, it's essentially

196
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 4: a get out of jail free card. And so you

197
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:49,960
Speaker 4: started seeing a phenomenon that we've never seen an immigration before,

198
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:54,200
Speaker 4: which is single young men showing up with little kids.

199
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:57,720
Speaker 4: Now that's not a normal pattern of migration, but we

200
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:03,040
Speaker 4: started seeing military age men showing up with little boys

201
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 4: and little girls, many of whom are physically and sexually

202
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 4: assaulted and transit and the same kid the cartels would

203
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 4: recycle over and over and over again to bring in

204
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:18,720
Speaker 4: gang members, to bring in criminals. Now, let me ask this,

205
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:25,199
Speaker 4: what is most effective stopping the invasion at the southern boarder.

206
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 5: The border, closing our borders, which is what we we've done,

207
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:30,680
Speaker 5: Donald Trump has closed our border.

208
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:32,880
Speaker 3: But now, of course.

209
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:35,840
Speaker 5: We all know we have so many of these illegal

210
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:40,440
Speaker 5: aliens fighting age men ages thirteenth, eighteen to thirty five

211
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 5: in our country, yep, walking around our country and President.

212
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 4: Concerned, How concerned are you right now about the twelve

213
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:53,120
Speaker 4: million illegal aliens who came in under Joe Biden? And

214
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 4: about the risk of terrorism of Hamas of hesbela Palestinian

215
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:03,280
Speaker 4: Islamic jihad, the risk of terrorism targeting Americans across this country.

216
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:06,800
Speaker 5: It's it's it's a huge risk and we all we

217
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:10,040
Speaker 5: all know how bad it is now. And that's what

218
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:13,680
Speaker 5: Donald Trump is committed to do, is to take these

219
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:17,560
Speaker 5: people out of our country, to prosecute them, to deport them,

220
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 5: to get them off our streets. And that's what all

221
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:24,840
Speaker 5: of these law enforcement agencies are doing. You know Lake

222
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:28,560
Speaker 5: and Riley, of course, that beautiful young woman University of Georgia.

223
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:32,400
Speaker 5: Lake and Riley is probably the most prominent name. But

224
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 5: look how many Lake and Riley's are out there.

225
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:37,600
Speaker 3: One victim is.

226
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:45,319
Speaker 5: Too many, right right, I mean, the numbers every day.

227
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 4: And I got to say so, already in the first

228
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:52,040
Speaker 4: two weeks, you've sued New York, You've sued Chicago.

229
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 1: You can clap for that.

230
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:58,839
Speaker 4: These sanctuary cities that are fighting. And I've got to

231
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:04,079
Speaker 4: say Massachusetts in particular action. Our last podcast, we talked

232
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 4: about this. Yeah, how Massachusetts continues to this day to

233
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:14,040
Speaker 4: have violent child rapist illegal immigrants who they released on

234
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:16,720
Speaker 4: the streets and they refuse to notify Ice.

235
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 1: They refuse.

236
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:20,680
Speaker 4: These are illegal immigrants who could be deported immediately, and

237
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:25,560
Speaker 4: the Massachusetts officials take criminals who violently rape little kids.

238
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 4: Let me ask you, what is your message to a mayor,

239
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 4: to a local official who wants to defy federal immigration law.

240
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:39,120
Speaker 3: Well, our message is very clear.

241
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:44,319
Speaker 5: I sued Illinois first, Chicago first day, first day.

242
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 3: And I gave a very strong warning.

243
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:49,680
Speaker 5: If you don't comply with the law, you're next. And

244
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:53,960
Speaker 5: guess who didn't listen New York, Kathy Hochel got sued.

245
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:56,560
Speaker 5: They all got sued in New York. And if you

246
00:13:56,679 --> 00:14:00,319
Speaker 5: don't follow the law, you're going to be next, because

247
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:02,760
Speaker 5: we are going to get violent criminals off our street.

248
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 5: And you know, Senator, it's more than that. They're endangering

249
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:08,960
Speaker 5: the lives of our great men and women in law enforcement.

250
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:10,720
Speaker 3: That's what people don't understand.

251
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 5: When you're hiding illegal aliens from law enforcement, you're endangering

252
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:16,120
Speaker 5: their lives.

253
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 3: It's going to stop.

254
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:19,080
Speaker 1: So let me ask you.

255
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 4: Two weeks into it, you've been at do OJ, what's

256
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 4: your assessment. Is it as bad as you thought it

257
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:29,280
Speaker 4: would be? Is it better? Is it worse?

258
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 5: It's worse, of course, it's now worse, chaos worse, meaning yeah,

259
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 5: that that department had completely lost its mission of fighting

260
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 5: violent crime. Look what they did to President Trump. Look

261
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:47,280
Speaker 5: at the weaponization and weaponization ended.

262
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 3: And the deep state is very real.

263
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:53,000
Speaker 5: I think all of you in this room know that

264
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 5: it's very real, and people trying to undermine everything you're doing.

265
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:01,840
Speaker 5: You weeks into it, and I went in one department

266
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:06,080
Speaker 5: and found huge, twenty by twenty glossies of Joe Biden,

267
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:10,320
Speaker 5: Merritt Garland, and Kamala Harris still hanging up in my office.

268
00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:15,360
Speaker 5: They're gone. They're gone, they're gone. And guess guess what's

269
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 5: replacing it? A very handsome photo of a man, Donald Trump,

270
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:22,880
Speaker 5: not the one in.

271
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:26,480
Speaker 2: The hallway right that that picture, that one that way Okay,

272
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:26,880
Speaker 2: I like.

273
00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:30,800
Speaker 5: That one, that one replacing, but but I make light

274
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 5: of that. But that's what's happening. You know, he had

275
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 5: been in office three weeks and the deep state still

276
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:39,320
Speaker 5: had those pictures hanging. And that's to me, that's defiant.

277
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 5: It's in suborn nation, not going to happen. But you

278
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:45,800
Speaker 5: know what we said, most people, the majority of the

279
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 5: people are great people who went to law school, became prosecutors,

280
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:52,520
Speaker 5: became law enforcement agents to fight crime.

281
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 4: You've spent your professional life as a prosecutor. How important

282
00:15:57,520 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 4: is it to you to go after bad guys and

283
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:02,200
Speaker 4: get bad guys off the street and keep people safe.

284
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 3: It means everything.

285
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 5: And that the drug epidemic, you know, the fentanyl just

286
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:10,360
Speaker 5: flowing into our country. Now, the terrorists, the gangs, TDA

287
00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:15,960
Speaker 5: trans Dieguis, MS thirteen, all of the gangs were now

288
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:17,479
Speaker 5: terrorist organizations.

289
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:19,200
Speaker 3: We've got to stop them.

290
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:22,600
Speaker 5: And that's that's why we do what we do, and

291
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:25,200
Speaker 5: it's all we all have to work together. And working

292
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:26,560
Speaker 5: with Homeland Security has been great.

293
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:29,360
Speaker 4: So one of the most shocking statistics from the prior

294
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:33,920
Speaker 4: administration is the number three hundred thousand, three hundred sat

295
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:38,120
Speaker 4: thousand children that the prior administration had in custody and

296
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:40,800
Speaker 4: that they lost that they do not know where they are.

297
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 4: We know that many of those children are being abused

298
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:46,480
Speaker 4: right now. Tell me about the efforts you and Homeland

299
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:49,600
Speaker 4: Security and the Trump administration, the efforts you are doing

300
00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:51,840
Speaker 4: to find those children and to get them out of

301
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:52,320
Speaker 4: harm's way.

302
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:56,640
Speaker 5: That's top priority, and that's Donald Trump's top priority, to

303
00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 5: find these victims and to save them.

304
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:00,320
Speaker 3: And that's what I.

305
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:04,200
Speaker 5: Don't I can't, I truly can't comprehend how any administration

306
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:08,960
Speaker 5: would let that happen and not care. And that's what

307
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:11,280
Speaker 5: we're all fighting for. And you know, you say, when

308
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:15,919
Speaker 5: when you take a job with this incredible volume, you think, how.

309
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:16,440
Speaker 3: Do you do it?

310
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 5: How do you how do you focus every day? And

311
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:22,960
Speaker 5: you do it by saying, if I can save one life, yeah.

312
00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:23,239
Speaker 3: It's worth it.

313
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:24,960
Speaker 1: Well it's a lot more than one.

314
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:25,439
Speaker 6: It is.

315
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:28,160
Speaker 3: That's how you start one life.

316
00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:32,000
Speaker 4: And it is thousands and and ultimately more So. I

317
00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:34,600
Speaker 4: want to say something to to the folks here at Seapac,

318
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:38,119
Speaker 4: which is as many of y'all know, Ben and I

319
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:40,119
Speaker 4: do this podcast Verdict with Ted Cruz.

320
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 1: We do it three days a week. We do it Monday,

321
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:42,560
Speaker 1: Wednesday and Friday.

322
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:46,719
Speaker 4: We've got roughly a million unique listeners all over the country.

323
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:50,639
Speaker 4: And we do this to go around the corporate media,

324
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:54,159
Speaker 4: to go directly to the American people and and and

325
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:56,640
Speaker 4: to to bring the truth and bring the fact.

326
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 1: So I want to ask everyone here.

327
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:01,000
Speaker 4: Many of y'all already subscribe to the pod, but I

328
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:02,680
Speaker 4: want to ask everyone here to pull out your cell

329
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:07,360
Speaker 4: phone right now, pull out your cell phone and text

330
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:13,800
Speaker 4: the word verdict v er dict. Text the word verdict

331
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:19,920
Speaker 4: to two four zero zero five again, two four zero

332
00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:23,760
Speaker 4: zero five. When you text verdict to two four zero

333
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:27,439
Speaker 4: zero five, what you'll get back is a link, a

334
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:31,440
Speaker 4: link to subscribe to the podcast. Now, if you're under forty,

335
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:34,679
Speaker 4: you know what I'm talking about. And if you're not,

336
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:37,400
Speaker 4: ask their kids or ask your grandkids. Although I'll say

337
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:39,879
Speaker 4: if you're at Seapack, you're pretty hip and connected, so

338
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:42,080
Speaker 4: you may know as well if you're here at Seapack.

339
00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:45,200
Speaker 2: But every mind, subscribe doesn't mean a costume miney to

340
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:45,680
Speaker 2: quote your.

341
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:48,240
Speaker 4: Dad, Oh no, my father points out that you know,

342
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:49,919
Speaker 4: my dad is eighty five, and he said when he

343
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:52,200
Speaker 4: hears subscribe, he thinks it's a magazine subscription.

344
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:56,040
Speaker 1: There's no charge. It just magically appears in your.

345
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:58,720
Speaker 4: Phone early in the morning on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday,

346
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:01,520
Speaker 4: and we bring in guests like the Attorney General of

347
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:05,440
Speaker 4: the United States, and we focus on what is happening,

348
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:10,199
Speaker 4: the victories that President Trump is winning, and the news.

349
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:13,200
Speaker 1: That the corporate media won't cover. I want to ask

350
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 1: you two four zero zero five.

351
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:16,439
Speaker 3: I want to ask you a question.

352
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:18,480
Speaker 2: It's one that I've been dying to ask you, and

353
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:21,400
Speaker 2: it deals with all of the pardons that were given

354
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:24,080
Speaker 2: out from Joe Biden at the end.

355
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:26,200
Speaker 1: There were a lot that went to his family.

356
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:28,040
Speaker 3: It is what it is.

357
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:31,240
Speaker 2: There's one person he did not pardon. That would be himself.

358
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:32,960
Speaker 1: There are a lot of.

359
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:35,919
Speaker 2: People who think there should be accountability. Should this be

360
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:38,000
Speaker 2: something that is looked at to see what he did

361
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:38,960
Speaker 2: while he was president.

362
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:46,560
Speaker 5: Don't you find it very interesting that they attempted to

363
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:50,240
Speaker 5: prosecute the president for having documents in the most secure

364
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:52,880
Speaker 5: place in the world other than the White House, Mara Laga,

365
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:55,840
Speaker 5: and he had the security clearance to take them. Yet

366
00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:59,160
Speaker 5: Joe Biden, who had no security clearance to take them

367
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:01,800
Speaker 5: at the time, had them in his garage with his

368
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:05,240
Speaker 5: drug addict son going in and out of his garage.

369
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:07,159
Speaker 5: Yet what did they say about him.

370
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:08,359
Speaker 1: Too old to prosecute?

371
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:10,479
Speaker 3: Frail frail old man.

372
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:15,800
Speaker 5: But listen, Donald Trump and I have not talked about

373
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:18,720
Speaker 5: that at all. This is not about targeting. This is

374
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:21,440
Speaker 5: what they do to us. This is not about targeting.

375
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:25,400
Speaker 5: This is not about weaponization. This is about keeping America

376
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:29,800
Speaker 5: safe and going forward and prosecuting violent criminals. If you

377
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:32,520
Speaker 5: committed a crime in this country.

378
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:34,480
Speaker 3: No one is above the law. I will say that

379
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:35,720
Speaker 3: no one is above the law.

380
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:43,160
Speaker 4: So, Pam, the media are going crazy about New York

381
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:46,679
Speaker 4: Mayor Eric Adams and the charges that were dismissed against him.

382
00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:47,719
Speaker 3: So glad you brought it up.

383
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:51,600
Speaker 4: Tell us what the story is, what happened there and

384
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:53,000
Speaker 4: why were the charges dismissed?

385
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:56,119
Speaker 5: Sure, and Amol, who has done an incredible job.

386
00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:59,080
Speaker 3: He worked on this case. He looked at this case.

387
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:06,600
Speaker 5: It was an incredibly weak case filed to make deportation harder.

388
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:08,239
Speaker 3: That's why they did it.

389
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:10,760
Speaker 5: They took one of the biggest mayors in the country

390
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 5: off the playing field in order to protect their sanctuary city.

391
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:21,240
Speaker 5: This case it was so incredibly weak. It was about

392
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:25,520
Speaker 5: increases in airline tickets, upgrades and airline tickets in his

393
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:29,080
Speaker 5: official capacity without getting into all the details of the fact.

394
00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:32,119
Speaker 5: I don't even think it could survive a verdict. Excuse me,

395
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:37,200
Speaker 5: incredibly weak case. That is the weaponization of government. That's

396
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:40,800
Speaker 5: law fair filing, that's law faer when you're filing cases

397
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:45,040
Speaker 5: like that to keep someone who criticized Joe Biden, who

398
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:48,600
Speaker 5: said they took away a security clearance so he could

399
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:52,160
Speaker 5: not get the details, so he could not help enforce

400
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:54,040
Speaker 5: the deportation efforts.

401
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:54,160
Speaker 3: In New York.

402
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:57,640
Speaker 5: And you know these people are going after him right

403
00:21:57,720 --> 00:21:58,840
Speaker 5: a subway in New York.

404
00:21:58,920 --> 00:21:59,800
Speaker 3: It's not safe.

405
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:03,680
Speaker 5: Violent crime is at an all time high, and that's

406
00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:06,800
Speaker 5: what they're doing. So it's not about weaponization. It's about

407
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:11,200
Speaker 5: ending their weaponization of the government and fighting violent crime

408
00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:16,240
Speaker 5: and enabling cities like New York and mayors like Rick

409
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:20,520
Speaker 5: Adams to enforce Donald Trump's immigration policies.

410
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:26,359
Speaker 2: I want to ask you and go back saying you

411
00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:29,240
Speaker 2: said a moment ago we were talking about cartels, and

412
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 2: they have been able to set up networks, and we

413
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:35,360
Speaker 2: see this coming up now more often. We're controlling states

414
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:38,360
Speaker 2: and cities and states and the entire flow, and they've

415
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:40,160
Speaker 2: been able to do this and set it up without

416
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:43,040
Speaker 2: having to worry that anyone's going to stop them. We're

417
00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:46,400
Speaker 2: seeing this not on border states, but all over the country,

418
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:49,960
Speaker 2: this network. At what point do we get to start

419
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:51,040
Speaker 2: dismantling that.

420
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:52,440
Speaker 1: How long does that take?

421
00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:55,240
Speaker 2: How much time is that going to take because they've

422
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:57,399
Speaker 2: been here for quite some time with the last administration.

423
00:22:57,480 --> 00:22:58,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's a lot.

424
00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:02,840
Speaker 5: I can't talk about now, but very publicly, I think

425
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:04,399
Speaker 5: you've seen a lot happen.

426
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:06,200
Speaker 3: A lot is happening every day.

427
00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:09,280
Speaker 5: Our great men and women in law enforcement are out there.

428
00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:11,159
Speaker 5: It's a joint eff for with our office and with

429
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:15,760
Speaker 5: Christy Nome and then we all work so well together,

430
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:17,639
Speaker 5: whether it's Mike Waltz.

431
00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 1: You are friends.

432
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:20,800
Speaker 2: I think people don't understand this, like this is a

433
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:22,240
Speaker 2: group in this administration.

434
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:23,960
Speaker 1: And you and I have talked about this on the show.

435
00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:27,200
Speaker 2: You guys are friends, like you'll know each other before

436
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:30,600
Speaker 2: you got here. How important are those relationships that you say, hey,

437
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:33,720
Speaker 2: I trust excuse me, I trust you, I trust you,

438
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:34,560
Speaker 2: I trust you.

439
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:35,360
Speaker 3: I got your back.

440
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:36,120
Speaker 1: Let's go to work.

441
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:39,639
Speaker 5: Vital and crucial and Mike Wat's and Christy we're on

442
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:42,439
Speaker 5: the phone with each other all the time and to

443
00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:44,640
Speaker 5: change topic just a little bit, just just to give

444
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:47,040
Speaker 5: you an example, Leez Eldon, a dear friend of mine.

445
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:51,800
Speaker 3: On President's Day.

446
00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:52,920
Speaker 5: EPA, Leez Eldon, great administrative of EPA. I'm on the

447
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:56,840
Speaker 5: phone ours with Scott Besson, our Secretary of Treasury and

448
00:23:56,960 --> 00:24:00,520
Speaker 5: Leez Elden, and you know we've seen thanks to Musk,

449
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:03,760
Speaker 5: my buddy's great work, and it's been reported.

450
00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:04,720
Speaker 3: Look what they're doing.

451
00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 5: And yeah, I'm changing the subject a little bit, but

452
00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:13,040
Speaker 5: they're giving out billions of dollars after Joe Biden lost

453
00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:16,400
Speaker 5: the election, trying to push this money out the door.

454
00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:19,000
Speaker 1: As surely shoveling cash out the windows.

455
00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:22,320
Speaker 5: As I said, goal bars, let's throw all the gold

456
00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:25,200
Speaker 5: bars off the ship. Yep. And we're stopping them. We're

457
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:29,040
Speaker 5: stopping them in real time. We're going after them. But

458
00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:31,399
Speaker 5: it's because we all pick up the phone and we

459
00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:34,919
Speaker 5: talked directly to each other, so we're able to work together.

460
00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:37,440
Speaker 3: Talk to Marco Rubio and look at.

461
00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:41,320
Speaker 5: Them in like Steve Whitcoff out there, Grinnell, what they're doing,

462
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:44,800
Speaker 5: working with Marco and Mike Watson, all the great the

463
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:48,000
Speaker 5: people that they're saving around the world. And that's thanks

464
00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:50,719
Speaker 5: to one man, Donald Trump. He put all of us

465
00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:51,600
Speaker 5: in these positions.

466
00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:58,760
Speaker 4: And the consistent nine spread of the cabinet nominees is

467
00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:01,520
Speaker 4: that you're all change agent. You all came in with

468
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:04,640
Speaker 4: the mission and it is Listen, there has never been

469
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:07,240
Speaker 4: a first month of any presidency in the history of

470
00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:11,320
Speaker 4: the United States of America like the last thirty days.

471
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:14,840
Speaker 3: Amen.

472
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:19,520
Speaker 4: And I'll tell you I have had great joy turning

473
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:22,160
Speaker 4: to my Democrat colleagues in the Senate and just dead

474
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:28,679
Speaker 4: panning well three years and eleven months ago, and they

475
00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:29,840
Speaker 4: literally start.

476
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:31,200
Speaker 1: Twitching, like you get.

477
00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:35,040
Speaker 4: They have facial tics that they cannot suppress.

478
00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:36,520
Speaker 1: Pam.

479
00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:39,920
Speaker 4: One of the things that people like about this podcast

480
00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:42,400
Speaker 4: that we try to do is we try to bring

481
00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:46,359
Speaker 4: people behind the scenes to actually understand what's going on

482
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:51,760
Speaker 4: behind closed doors. So tell us about your first day

483
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:56,280
Speaker 4: as attorney general. You're confirmed and like day one when

484
00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:58,760
Speaker 4: you get sworn in, just just walk everyone through what

485
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:01,720
Speaker 4: day one Attorney general in the United States is like,

486
00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:03,919
Speaker 4: you go.

487
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:07,280
Speaker 5: NonStop And I jokingly said it felt like fifteen years

488
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:10,480
Speaker 5: because you're you're working seven days a week, NonStop. You're

489
00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:13,800
Speaker 5: when we're all working with each other and everything we

490
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:17,679
Speaker 5: do it overlaps, and especially with Department of Justice, especially too,

491
00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:19,800
Speaker 5: with all this money going out the USA and all

492
00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:22,080
Speaker 5: of these agencies, and we're going to be helping all

493
00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:27,120
Speaker 5: these agencies. But you just hit the ground running, literally

494
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:31,120
Speaker 5: and don't look back. I don't look at what time

495
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:33,200
Speaker 5: of day it is. It's I don't think I've slept

496
00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:36,119
Speaker 5: in fifteen days, but you don't want to. And and

497
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 5: then when when you find out about this human trafficking

498
00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:42,320
Speaker 5: ring that was just broken up, it's just that's why

499
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:46,000
Speaker 5: we're all doing what we're doing, and you just keep

500
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:50,879
Speaker 5: going forward. And our directive, our directive from our boss

501
00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:55,119
Speaker 5: is so easy, especially on my end, make America safe.

502
00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:59,160
Speaker 5: And so you you just don't, Senator, you don't. Even

503
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:01,800
Speaker 5: my my heart is saying, now, is I forget to eat?

504
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:04,280
Speaker 5: You forget what time it is? And at six o'clock

505
00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:05,840
Speaker 5: at night? And why do I have a headache because

506
00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:08,480
Speaker 5: I haven't eaten today? But you're going non stop and

507
00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:12,240
Speaker 5: it's not me. It's an entire team. I've got Chad myself,

508
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:14,879
Speaker 5: I've got Animal, I've got Todd Blanche, thank goodness coming in,

509
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:17,960
Speaker 5: and we've got cash Fortell now so they better look out.

510
00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:23,639
Speaker 2: How nice is it to have a boss by the

511
00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:25,520
Speaker 2: guy and guy by the name of Donald J. Trump

512
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:28,840
Speaker 2: who just lets you do your job exactly. I mean,

513
00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:31,000
Speaker 2: there's a lot of presents in the past that have

514
00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:33,760
Speaker 2: really tried to keep their thumb on people. It seems

515
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:37,320
Speaker 2: like he's saying, go and go, get it done, and

516
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:38,359
Speaker 2: call me when you need me.

517
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:41,359
Speaker 5: He has trusted all of us and all of our

518
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:43,199
Speaker 5: various capacities and.

519
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:46,320
Speaker 3: All the different roles we have, whether it's education.

520
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:50,680
Speaker 5: Or agriculture, you know, all the cabinet labor, all of

521
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:53,840
Speaker 5: the different cabinet secretaries, just to go out and do

522
00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:55,040
Speaker 5: the best we can.

523
00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:57,440
Speaker 3: And you know, we want to make.

524
00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:01,119
Speaker 5: All of you proud, and we want to fulfill his

525
00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:03,040
Speaker 5: directive to make our country great.

526
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:05,120
Speaker 3: That may insured it in me that job.

527
00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:07,440
Speaker 5: He's a good friend of mine and I love during

528
00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:10,240
Speaker 5: my confirmation hearing when they try they get on me

529
00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:12,080
Speaker 5: because they say I'm friends with Donald Trump.

530
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:14,920
Speaker 3: Yes, I know, I'm not friends with them. I'm good

531
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:17,760
Speaker 3: friends with him, and I'm very proud to work for him.

532
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:26,720
Speaker 4: You know, when you look at weaponization and politicization, part

533
00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:29,360
Speaker 4: of it is using it to attack your political opponents.

534
00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:31,840
Speaker 4: And we've seen four years of that under Joe Biden.

535
00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:36,000
Speaker 4: Another part of it is turning the other way at

536
00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:39,880
Speaker 4: your political allies and refusing to enforce the law against them.

537
00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:42,840
Speaker 4: And I think one of the most egregious examples we've

538
00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:46,360
Speaker 4: seen over the last two years is the rising anti

539
00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:51,760
Speaker 4: semitism on college campus. I mean the violent protesters and rioters,

540
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:54,600
Speaker 4: many of whom are not students, are not affiliated with

541
00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:58,400
Speaker 4: the universities, and they are threatening students. You look at

542
00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:01,760
Speaker 4: Columbia University. The author box Rabbi there sent out an

543
00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:05,360
Speaker 4: email to the Jewish students on campus and said, do

544
00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:10,240
Speaker 4: not come to campus because the university cannot and will

545
00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:15,719
Speaker 4: not keep you safe. And the Biden Justice Department did nothing.

546
00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:19,960
Speaker 4: They investigated nobody, they didn't follow the money, they didn't

547
00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:23,800
Speaker 4: indict anyone, they didn't prosecute anyone, and they did not

548
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:27,400
Speaker 4: enforce Title six of the Civil Rights Laws, which say

549
00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:31,520
Speaker 4: that if you are tolerating harassment on the basis of

550
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:35,400
Speaker 4: ethnicity or religion, that you will have your federal funds

551
00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:40,680
Speaker 4: cut off. How is the Department of Justice different today

552
00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:45,480
Speaker 4: and what will your approach be to anti semitism and

553
00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:49,200
Speaker 4: threats of violence directed against Jewish students on campus or

554
00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:50,520
Speaker 4: any other students on campus.

555
00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:54,200
Speaker 5: We have an October seventh task force that we started

556
00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:57,040
Speaker 5: and we will protect you. When I was just a

557
00:29:57,160 --> 00:29:59,600
Speaker 5: citizen before I had this job. What you said, I'm

558
00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:03,200
Speaker 5: watching these these aren't peaceful protests. We all believe in

559
00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:07,080
Speaker 5: peaceful protests. Uh oh, I'm sorry. Unless you're a liberal

560
00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:11,040
Speaker 5: and you don't want a parent to quietly pray outside

561
00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:15,000
Speaker 5: an abortion clinic, or you're a caountl at school or

562
00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:16,800
Speaker 5: a parent at a school board, They're going to call

563
00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:21,320
Speaker 5: you a domestic resist. I'm screaming up my TV watching

564
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:25,360
Speaker 5: these violent protests, you know, the last since October seventh.

565
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:28,760
Speaker 5: You're watching this happen, and all of our students.

566
00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:31,720
Speaker 3: Deserve to be safe. First of all, these these students from.

567
00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:34,520
Speaker 5: Who are here on visas, who are who are threatening

568
00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:38,360
Speaker 5: our American students need to be kicked out of this country.

569
00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:38,800
Speaker 1: Amen.

570
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:56,680
Speaker 4: It is refreshingly simple to have an attorney general who

571
00:30:56,800 --> 00:30:59,840
Speaker 4: has the approach that you're going to follow the law

572
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:03,840
Speaker 4: and enforce the law, and that sadly has been missing

573
00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:06,040
Speaker 4: for the last four years.

574
00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:08,560
Speaker 3: It's pretty basic, isn't it.

575
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:16,440
Speaker 4: It should not be complicated. Let me ask you what

576
00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:19,520
Speaker 4: keeps you up at night? What scares you. In the

577
00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:20,960
Speaker 4: first two weeks in this job.

578
00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:26,120
Speaker 3: Pretty much everything. I don't sleep at night anymore.

579
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:29,840
Speaker 5: Of course, everything we talked about, the drugs, the cartels,

580
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:32,880
Speaker 5: the great Maybe I'll get a little sleep tonight based

581
00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:34,960
Speaker 5: on the arrest that we're just made, the children that

582
00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:38,280
Speaker 5: are being trafficked, things that have been so personal to

583
00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:40,360
Speaker 5: me since I was a state prosecutor and then since

584
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:42,800
Speaker 5: I was State attorney general. Now you just get to

585
00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:45,480
Speaker 5: help people on a bigger level, which is pretty pretty

586
00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:49,440
Speaker 5: cool to get to do that. But most recently it's

587
00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:55,400
Speaker 5: really been what Elon has been uncovering and the USA,

588
00:31:56,120 --> 00:32:02,160
Speaker 5: the waste at EPA, this money, trillions of dollars they

589
00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:06,200
Speaker 5: believe just being handed out, which is most likely making

590
00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:10,040
Speaker 5: a round trip well going to terrorist organizations.

591
00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:12,480
Speaker 4: And you are on the front line of defending the

592
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:16,040
Speaker 4: president and Elon Musk and Doze and all the effort

593
00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:20,360
Speaker 4: they're doing. And every day we are seeing Democrat attorneys

594
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:24,800
Speaker 4: general and Democrat interest groups suing the president, suing Elon Musk,

595
00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:27,800
Speaker 4: suing the federal government, and the Department of Justices on

596
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:32,680
Speaker 4: the front lines, and sadly, we're seeing left wing activist judges,

597
00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:40,800
Speaker 4: individual district court judges issuing nationwide injunctions. Tell us about

598
00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:43,880
Speaker 4: what it's like defending against those lawsuits, and give us

599
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:48,360
Speaker 4: your thoughts on the authority of one radical district judge

600
00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:51,240
Speaker 4: to try to run the executive branch and issue a

601
00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:52,120
Speaker 4: nationwide injunction.

602
00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:57,240
Speaker 5: Two words, we're winning, but yeah, so you've got you've

603
00:32:57,280 --> 00:33:00,200
Speaker 5: got one. I like that answer one on a to

604
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:05,680
Speaker 5: district judge trying to tell President Trump, who was elected

605
00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:10,520
Speaker 5: overwhelmingly by the American people, where federal funds can go.

606
00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:15,000
Speaker 3: We're winning even in liberal courts. By the way, I'm senator,

607
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:16,920
Speaker 3: we're winning and.

608
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:18,520
Speaker 5: If not, we're going to go all the way to

609
00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:21,280
Speaker 5: the Supreme Court and keep winning.

610
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:23,840
Speaker 4: Well, Pam, let me say you and I have been

611
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:27,080
Speaker 4: friends a long time time. I am thrilled with the

612
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:29,360
Speaker 4: job you're doing. I'm thrilled. I was thrilled when the

613
00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:33,440
Speaker 4: President announced your nomination. And let me say, on behalf

614
