00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:29,040
Speaker 2: It does not.

Speaker 3: of the United States, Pam Bondy.

12
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:44,160
Speaker 4: So these guys never invite me to be on their podcast.

13
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:46,240
Speaker 1: They finally did and I get a jo it in

14
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 1: front of all of you. So this is awesome.

15
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 3: Well, Pam, I will tell you that that there is

16
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 3: some good karma to being on this podcast at Seapack

17
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:56,480
Speaker 3: with someone named jd Vance.

18
00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:59,040
Speaker 1: He's all right for him, sir, he's a great man.

19
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 3: So welcome.

20
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 1: Thank you.

21
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 3: You have been Attorney General fifteen.

22
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 1: Day it feels like fifteen years.

23
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 3: I believe you. And by the way, you just got

24
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 3: some help an hour ago. The Senate just finished confirmation.

25
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 5: Yeah.

26
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:21,560
Speaker 1: I've been on the phone with him NonStop.

27
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:24,400
Speaker 3: I talked to him on the ride over here. He

28
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:29,560
Speaker 3: is going to do fantastic. All right, let's start fifteen days,

29
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:32,760
Speaker 3: You've come into what I think is the single most

30
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:36,959
Speaker 3: important cabinet position in this administration, because we went through

31
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:41,400
Speaker 3: four years of Biden weaponizing the Department of Justice, using

32
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:45,039
Speaker 3: it to attack his enemies and to support his friends.

33
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 3: So let me ask you, come into DOJ. You've got

34
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 3: a mission. You've got a mission to restore integrity to

35
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 3: the department, to end the weaponization and politicization. How do

36
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 3: you do that? How do you get that done?

37
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 4: You know the volume, Senator, what concerned me the most.

38
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 4: It's the volume of how bad it was and it

39
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 4: still is. We're working on it. It's day by day

40
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:14,800
Speaker 4: by day. But we've got a team of great people.

41
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 4: And on day one I issued fourteen executive orders, and

42
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 4: number one is the weaponization ends, and it ends now.

43
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:23,640
Speaker 1: And that's what we did.

44
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 3: Let me ask you something. In the fifteen days you've

45
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 3: been there, how many DOJ employees have said something to

46
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 3: the effect of thank God?

47
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 1: A lot of them, I believe you.

48
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:45,079
Speaker 3: Look. I spent four years hearing from a USA's assistant

49
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 3: US attorneys, hearing from FBI agents, hearing from men and

50
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 3: women who believe in the rule of law and were

51
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 3: horrified at the politicization of the FBI and the DOJ,

52
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 3: and so I know for a lot of good, honorable

53
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 3: men and women who devoted their careers to defending the Constitution,

54
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 3: there's a lot of gratitude that they can get back

55
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 3: to doing their job.

56
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 1: Their core function. And that's thanks to Donald J.

57
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:17,240
Speaker 4: Trump getting back in office, and he gave us a

58
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 4: clear directive make America safe.

59
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 1: And that's what we're going to do. And you know,

60
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 1: these to start with.

61
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 4: The law enforcement agencies talking about cash. These men and

62
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 4: women didn't go to Quantico. They're not risking their lives

63
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 4: to waste their time on all this politicization and rating

64
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 4: mar A Lago. Really stopping all of that is stopping,

65
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 4: and we are returning them to their core function fighting

66
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 4: violent crime. And that's what the great majority of men

67
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:47,839
Speaker 4: and women in law enforcement DEA A. T. F. US

68
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 4: Marshall's FBI, as well as the incredible legal team at

69
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 4: the Justice Department, that's what they want to do.

70
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 3: So let's talk about one of the most lawless aspects

71
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 3: of the last four years, which was the open borders

72
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 3: that we saw and the twelve million illegal immigrants that

73
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 3: have come into this country. You've had just two weeks.

74
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 3: But you've hit the ground running, going after the criminals,

75
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 3: going after the murderers, going after the rapists, going after

76
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 3: the child molesters, going after the Venezuelan gang members. Tell

77
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 3: us number one, what you're doing as Attorney General, that

78
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:28,039
Speaker 3: is making a real difference, that is already making America safer.

79
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:31,359
Speaker 3: And number two, I understand you have some breaking news

80
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 3: concerning my home state of Texas, which I'm particularly proud

81
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 3: to hear.

82
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 4: I do, I do, and the press really even out yet.

83
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 4: Joint Task Force Alpha that we elevated once we came

84
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:45,360
Speaker 4: in office. It's with the Department of Justice and the FBI,

85
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 4: and we work hand in hand with Homeland Security. Christinome

86
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:51,239
Speaker 4: is awesome. We all worked so well together. Joint Task

87
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 4: Force Alpha just made a huge arrest in Warres Texas, Warres, Mexico.

88
00:04:56,360 --> 00:05:02,359
Speaker 4: They were headed to Texas to El Paso and smuggling. Yeah.

89
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 1: Huge. That's why we do what we do every day.

90
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:11,360
Speaker 4: That's why these agents risk their lives every single day.

91
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 4: It's humans smuggling and a lot of children, a lot

92
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 4: of children they're saying are safer because of this.

93
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 2: Let me ask you a question, President Trump, and this

94
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 2: has made headlines on what you're just talking about. We've

95
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:28,840
Speaker 2: designated these cartels as terrorist organizations. What does that allow

96
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 2: you to do in your job? And Cash Fortael now

97
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:34,160
Speaker 2: is the head of the FBI. What is that going

98
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 2: to give you the ability to do and to go

99
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 2: after them?

100
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 4: Well, Stephen Miller is doing a great job ahead as

101
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:45,359
Speaker 4: we are right leading this effort with all of us.

102
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:49,160
Speaker 4: Mike Waltz at d D. We all work so keet Hagseth.

103
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 4: We all work so well together, and it gives us

104
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 4: the ability.

105
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 1: It gives they are a terrorist group.

106
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:58,840
Speaker 4: And it gives us the ability to go after them

107
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:03,479
Speaker 4: more ability anywhere in the world and treat them as terrorists.

108
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 1: They are terrorists.

109
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 4: If you're bringing Fittanel into this country and killing our kids,

110
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 4: you're a terrorist and we're coming after you.

111
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 2: Three hundred a day is the average that are dying

112
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 2: in this country right now. When you took this job

113
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 2: and you hear that number and you saw the inaction

114
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,479
Speaker 2: from the last administration, how angry did that make you

115
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 2: so angry?

116
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 4: You know, I was State ag before I became the

117
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 4: United States Attorney General, and Fittanahl was really just coming

118
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:35,040
Speaker 4: on the market and now with this horrible open border

119
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:40,920
Speaker 4: policy just flowing flowing across our borders and killing kids,

120
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 4: killing adults every single day, and it's criminal that no

121
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:49,480
Speaker 4: one was doing anything to stop it. I can't comprehend

122
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:54,480
Speaker 4: how any administration, progressive nor conservative, how any administration.

123
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:56,279
Speaker 1: Could tolerate that and let that happen.

124
00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 4: And it ended day one with Donald Trump when he

125
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:02,919
Speaker 4: shut that board. I was at the border back in September.

126
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 4: I went with Lara Trump and Morgan Ortegas Yep and

127
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 4: we were in Yuma, Arizona, and I saw firsthand there

128
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 4: is nothing humanitarian that was happening.

129
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 1: At that border, nothing nothing.

130
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 4: They have a rape tree where they're raping women as

131
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 4: they're coming into this country. I saw firsthand piles and

132
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 4: piles of passports just thrown from every country you can imagine,

133
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 4: because the Biden administration was letting you walk right in

134
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 4: the country if you didn't have a passport. They said

135
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 4: they saw Asian Chinese individuals saying, oh, we're from Cuba,

136
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 4: so they wrote down there from Cuba and had to

137
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 4: let them legally walk right in under that administration. But

138
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 4: the drugs, the trafficking, I learned a new term disposable child.

139
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:49,120
Speaker 1: The customs, the border.

140
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 4: The border patrol agents told me that they saw a

141
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:55,679
Speaker 4: little boy and they kept recognizing the same little boy

142
00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 4: over and over and over coming in. Because if you

143
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 4: came in, our country is a family unit, they just

144
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 4: let you walk right in. What the littlechild was being trafficked, Yes,

145
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:07,680
Speaker 4: now how they were getting him back to Mexico is

146
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 4: beyond me, but they were bringing him time and time again.

147
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:14,720
Speaker 4: He wasn't their family, So who knows what happened to

148
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 4: his parents?

149
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 3: Well, and I will say a number of people in

150
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 3: the room gasped at a term you use, which unfortunately

151
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 3: is a real term, rape tree. And it's something that

152
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 3: we're seeing. We've been seeing for the last four years

153
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 3: in Texas. We've seen it in Arizona that the cartels

154
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 3: will go and violently rape women. They'll violently rape teenage girls,

155
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:40,720
Speaker 3: young girls, and then they will hang their underwear in

156
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:43,720
Speaker 3: the tree. And you'll find a tree down on the

157
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 3: southern border with ten twenty pairs of underwear as their

158
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 3: mocking law enforcement, saying we can do whatever we want.

159
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 3: And for four years, the Biden Justice Department they just

160
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 3: turned a blind eye and they facilitated it. You know,

161
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 3: you talked about the kids. So they have a policy

162
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:03,360
Speaker 3: if you arrive with a kid, it's essentially a get

163
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 3: out of jail free card. And so you started seeing

164
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 3: a phenomenon that we've never seen an immigration before, which

165
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 3: is single young men showing up with little kids. Now

166
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 3: that's not a normal pattern of migration, but we started

167
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 3: seeing military age men showing up with little boys and

168
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:26,119
Speaker 3: little girls, many of whom are physically and sexually assaulted

169
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 3: in transit, and the same kid the cartels would recycle

170
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 3: over and over and over again to bring in gang members,

171
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:39,320
Speaker 3: to bring in criminals. Now, let me ask this, what

172
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 3: is most effective stopping the invasion at the southern board the.

173
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:48,320
Speaker 4: Border closing our borders, which is what we've done. Donald

174
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 4: Trump has closed our border. But now, of course we

175
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 4: all know we have so many of these illegal aliens,

176
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 4: fighting age men ages thirteenth, eighteen to thirty five in

177
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:02,000
Speaker 4: our walking around our country.

178
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 3: And President, how concerned are you right now about the

179
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 3: twelve million illegal aliens who came in under Joe Biden?

180
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 3: And about the risk of terrorism of Hamas of hesbela

181
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:21,720
Speaker 3: Palestinian Islamic jihad, the risk of terrorism targeting Americans across

182
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:22,280
Speaker 3: this country.

183
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:25,839
Speaker 4: It's it's it's a huge risk and we all we

184
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:29,080
Speaker 4: all know how bad it is now. And that's what

185
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:32,720
Speaker 4: Donald Trump is committed to do, is to take these

186
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:36,560
Speaker 4: people out of our country, to prosecute them, to deport them,

187
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 4: to get them off our streets. And that's what all

188
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 4: of these law enforcement agencies are doing.

189
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 1: You know Lake and.

190
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:47,560
Speaker 4: Riley, of course, that beautiful young woman, University of Georgia.

191
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:51,440
Speaker 4: Lake and Riley is probably the most prominent name. But

192
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:54,840
Speaker 4: look how many Lake and Riley's are out there.

193
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 1: One victim is too.

194
00:10:56,800 --> 00:11:05,679
Speaker 3: Many, Jocelyne, Right, I mean the numbers every day. And

195
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 3: I got to say so already in the first two weeks,

196
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:11,040
Speaker 3: you sued New York, you sued Chicago.

197
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:13,160
Speaker 1: You can clap for that.

198
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 3: These sanctuary city that are fighting, and I've got to

199
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:23,080
Speaker 3: say Massachusetts in particular action. Our last podcast we talked

200
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 3: about this. Yeah, how Massachusetts continues to this day to

201
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 3: have violent child rapist illegal immigrants who they release on

202
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:36,400
Speaker 3: the streets and they refuse to notify Ice. They refuse.

203
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:39,720
Speaker 3: These are illegal immigrants who could be deported immediately. And

204
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:44,600
Speaker 3: the Massachusetts officials take criminals who violently rape little kids.

205
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 3: Let me ask you, what is your message to a mayor,

206
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 3: to a local official who wants to defy federal immigration law.

207
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:58,160
Speaker 1: Well, our message is very clear.

208
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:03,560
Speaker 4: I sued Illinois first Chicago, first day, first day, and

209
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:06,800
Speaker 4: I gave a very strong warning. If you don't comply

210
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:09,680
Speaker 4: with the law, you're next. And guess who didn't listen

211
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,960
Speaker 4: New York Kathy Hochel got sued.

212
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:14,560
Speaker 1: They all got sued in New York.

213
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,840
Speaker 4: And if you don't follow the law, you're going to

214
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:21,199
Speaker 4: be next, because we are going to get violent criminals

215
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:21,760
Speaker 4: off our strip.

216
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:23,440
Speaker 1: And you know, Senator, it's more than that.

217
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 4: They're endangering the lives of our great men and women

218
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:27,960
Speaker 4: in law enforcement.

219
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:29,679
Speaker 1: That's what people don't understand.

220
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 4: When you're hiding illegal aliens from law enforcement, you're endangering

221
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 4: their lives.

222
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 1: It's gonna stop.

223
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:40,600
Speaker 3: So let me ask you. Two weeks into it, you've

224
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 3: been at do OJ. What's your assessment. Is it as

225
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:46,960
Speaker 3: bad as you thought it would be? Is it better?

226
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 3: Is it worse?

227
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 1: It's worse, of course, it's now worse.

228
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:52,920
Speaker 3: Here to chaos.

229
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:59,080
Speaker 4: Worse meaning yeah, that that department had completely lost its

230
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:02,679
Speaker 4: mission of fighting violent crime. I look what they did

231
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:06,280
Speaker 4: to President Trump look at the weaponization and weaponization ended,

232
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 4: and the.

233
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:09,800
Speaker 1: Deep state is very real.

234
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:12,000
Speaker 4: I think all of you in this room know that

235
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 4: it's very real, and people trying to undermine everything you're doing.

236
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:20,320
Speaker 4: You know, three weeks into it, I went in one

237
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:25,120
Speaker 4: department and found huge twenty by twenty glosses of Joe Biden,

238
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:28,440
Speaker 4: Merrick Garland, and Kamala Harris still hanging up in my office.

239
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 4: They're gone, they're gone, They're gone. And guess guess what's

240
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:39,239
Speaker 4: replacing it? A very handsome photo of a man, Donald.

241
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 2: Trump, not the one in the hallway, right that that picture,

242
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:45,120
Speaker 2: that one that way.

243
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:46,040
Speaker 3: Okay, I like that.

244
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 4: One that replacing, But but I make light of that.

245
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:52,800
Speaker 4: But that's what's happening. You know, he had been in

246
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:56,200
Speaker 4: office three weeks and the deep state still had those

247
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:58,599
Speaker 4: pictures hanging. And that's to me, that's defiant. It's in

248
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:02,160
Speaker 4: suborn nation, not going to happen. But you know what

249
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 4: we said, most people, the majority of the people, are

250
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:09,679
Speaker 4: great people who went to law school, became prosecutors, became

251
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:11,559
Speaker 4: law enforcement agents to fight crime.

252
00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 3: You've spent your professional life as a prosecutor career, how

253
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:18,800
Speaker 3: important is it to you to go after bad guys

254
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:20,520
Speaker 3: and to get bad guys off the street and keep

255
00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 3: people safe.

256
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:22,440
Speaker 1: It means everything.

257
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:25,240
Speaker 4: And that the drug epidemic, you know, the fentanyl just

258
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:29,360
Speaker 4: flowing into our country now, the terrorists, the gangs, TDA

259
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:35,000
Speaker 4: trans DIEGUIS, MS thirteen, all of the gangs for now,

260
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 4: terrorist organizations. We've got to stop them. And that's that's

261
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:42,320
Speaker 4: why we do what we do, and it's all we

262
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:45,080
Speaker 4: all have to work together. And working with Homeland Security

263
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 4: has been great.

264
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 3: So one of the most shocking statistics from the prior

265
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 3: administration is the number three hundred thousand, three hundred sap

266
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 3: thousand children that the prior administration had in custody and

267
00:14:57,160 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 3: that they lost that they do not know where they are.

268
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:02,640
Speaker 3: We know that many of those children are being abused

269
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:05,520
Speaker 3: right now. Tell me about the efforts you and Homeland

270
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 3: Security and the Trump administration, the efforts you are doing

271
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:10,840
Speaker 3: to find those children and to get them out of

272
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:11,440
Speaker 3: harm's way.

273
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 4: That's top priority, and that's Donald Trump's top priority, to

274
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:19,040
Speaker 4: find these victims and to save them. And that's what

275
00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 4: I don't I can't, I truly can't comprehend how any

276
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:27,800
Speaker 4: administration would let that happen and not care and that's

277
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:30,080
Speaker 4: what we're all fighting for. And you know, you say,

278
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:33,960
Speaker 4: when you take a job with this incredible volume, you think.

279
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:38,320
Speaker 1: How do you do it? How do you focus every day?

280
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 4: And you do it by saying, if I can save

281
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 4: one life, yeah it's worth it.

282
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 3: Well it's a lot more than one.

283
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 4: It is.

284
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:47,119
Speaker 1: That's how you start one life.

285
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 3: And it is thousands and ultimately more. So I want

286
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:54,960
Speaker 3: to say something to the folks here at Seapac, which is,

287
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:57,480
Speaker 3: as many of y'all know, Ben and I do this

288
00:15:57,520 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 3: podcast Verdict with Ted Cruz. We do it three days

289
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 3: a week week. We do it Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

290
00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 3: We've got roughly a million unique listeners all over the

291
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:09,680
Speaker 3: country and we do this to go around the corporate media,

292
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:14,440
Speaker 3: to go directly to the American people and to bring

293
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:16,120
Speaker 3: the truth and bring the fact. So I want to

294
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 3: ask everyone here. Many of y'all already subscribe to the pod,

295
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:21,400
Speaker 3: but I want to ask everyone here to pull out

296
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:24,640
Speaker 3: your cell phone right now, pull out your cell phone

297
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:31,880
Speaker 3: and text the word verdict v er Dict. Text the

298
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 3: word Verdict to two four zero zero five again, two

299
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:42,240
Speaker 3: four zero zero five. When you text Verdict to two

300
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 3: four zero zero five. What you'll get back is a link,

301
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:49,880
Speaker 3: a link to subscribe to the podcast. Now, if you're

302
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 3: under forty, you know what I'm talking about. And if

303
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:56,040
Speaker 3: you're not, ask their kids or ask your grandkids. Although

304
00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:58,080
Speaker 3: I'll say if you're at c Pack, you're pretty hip

305
00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:00,320
Speaker 3: and connected, so you may know as well if you're

306
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:03,960
Speaker 3: here at Seapack. But every mind, subscribe doesn't mean a costume.

307
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:06,760
Speaker 3: Mind to quote your dad, Oh, my father points out

308
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:08,800
Speaker 3: that my dad is eighty five, and he said when

309
00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:11,760
Speaker 3: he hears subscribe, he thinks it's a magazine subscription. There's

310
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:15,639
Speaker 3: no charge. It just magically appears in your phone early

311
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 3: in the morning on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, and we

312
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:21,400
Speaker 3: bring in guests like the Attorney General of the United States,

313
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:25,439
Speaker 3: and we focus on what is happening, the victories that

314
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:29,320
Speaker 3: President Trump is winning, and the news that the corporate

315
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:32,800
Speaker 3: media won't cover. I want to ask you two four

316
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:34,000
Speaker 3: zero zero five.

317
00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:36,520
Speaker 1: I want to ask you a question.

318
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:38,600
Speaker 2: It's one that I've been dying to ask you, and

319
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 2: it deals with all of the pardons that were given

320
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:45,119
Speaker 2: out from Joe Biden at the end. There were a

321
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:47,879
Speaker 2: lot that went to his family. It is what it

322
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:50,680
Speaker 2: is there's one person he did not pardon. That would

323
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 2: be himself. There are a lot of people who think

324
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:56,720
Speaker 2: there should be accountability. Should this be something that is

325
00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:59,080
Speaker 2: looked at to see what he did while he was president.

326
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:06,320
Speaker 4: Don't you find it very interesting though, that they attempted

327
00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:09,960
Speaker 4: to prosecute the president for having documents in the most

328
00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:11,960
Speaker 4: secure place in the world other than the White House,

329
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 4: Mara Laga, and he had the security clearance to take them.

330
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:19,040
Speaker 4: Yet Joe Biden, who had no security clearance to take

331
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:21,760
Speaker 4: them at the time, had them in his garage with

332
00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:24,560
Speaker 4: his drug addict son going in and out.

333
00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:27,120
Speaker 1: Of his garage. Yet what did they say about him

334
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:30,600
Speaker 1: too old to prosecute? Frail frail old man.

335
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:35,920
Speaker 4: But listen, Donald Trump and I have not talked about

336
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:38,800
Speaker 4: that at all. This is not about targeting. This is

337
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 4: what they do to us. This is not about targeting.

338
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:45,480
Speaker 4: This is not about weaponization. This is about keeping America

339
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:49,919
Speaker 4: safe and going forward and prosecuting violent criminals. If you

340
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:53,240
Speaker 4: committed a crime in this country, no one is above

341
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:55,440
Speaker 4: the law. I will say that no one is above

342
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:55,840
Speaker 4: the law.

343
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 3: So Pam, the media are going crazy about New York

344
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:06,800
Speaker 3: Mayor Eric Adams and the charges that were dismissed against him.

345
00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 1: So glad you brought it up.

346
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:11,680
Speaker 3: Tell us what the story is, what happened there and

347
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:13,120
Speaker 3: why were the charges dismissed?

348
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:16,680
Speaker 4: Sure, and Amol, who has done an incredible job he

349
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:18,160
Speaker 4: worked on this case.

350
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:19,160
Speaker 1: He looked at this case.

351
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:26,720
Speaker 4: It was an incredibly weak case filed to make deportation harder.

352
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:28,359
Speaker 1: That's why they did it.

353
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:30,880
Speaker 4: They took one of the biggest mayors in the country

354
00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:38,080
Speaker 4: off the playing field in order to protect their sanctuary city.

355
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:41,359
Speaker 4: This case, it was so incredibly weak. It was about

356
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:45,600
Speaker 4: increases in airline tickets, upgrades and airline tickets in his

357
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:49,160
Speaker 4: official capacity without getting into all the details of the fact.

358
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:50,959
Speaker 4: I don't even think it could survive a verdict.

359
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:56,880
Speaker 1: Excuse me. Incredibly weak case. That is the weaponization of government.

360
00:19:57,119 --> 00:20:00,439
Speaker 4: That's law fair filing, that's law fair when you're filing

361
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:04,760
Speaker 4: cases like that to keep someone who criticized Joe Biden,

362
00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:08,280
Speaker 4: who said they took away his security clearance so he

363
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:11,680
Speaker 4: could not get the details, so he could not help

364
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 4: enforce the.

365
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:14,280
Speaker 1: Deportation efforts in New York.

366
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:17,760
Speaker 4: And you know these people are going after him right

367
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:18,920
Speaker 4: a subway in New York.

368
00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:19,879
Speaker 1: It's not safe.

369
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:23,760
Speaker 4: Violent crime is at an all time high, and that's

370
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:24,560
Speaker 4: what they're doing.

371
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:26,399
Speaker 1: So it's not about weaponization.

372
00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:30,560
Speaker 4: It's about ending their weaponization of the government and fighting

373
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 4: violent crime and enabling cities like New York and mayors

374
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:40,639
Speaker 4: like Eric Adams to enforce Donald Trump's immigration policies.

375
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:46,440
Speaker 2: I want to ask you and go back saying you

376
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:49,320
Speaker 2: said a moment ago we were talking about cartels, and

377
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:51,639
Speaker 2: they have been able to set up networks, and we

378
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:55,000
Speaker 2: see this coming up now more often. We're the controlling

379
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:58,240
Speaker 2: states and cities and states and the entire flow, and

380
00:20:58,280 --> 00:20:59,919
Speaker 2: they've been able to do this and set it up

381
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:02,440
Speaker 2: without having to worry that anyone's going to stop them.

382
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:05,960
Speaker 2: We're seeing this not on border states, but all over

383
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:09,480
Speaker 2: the country, this network. At what point do we get

384
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:12,760
Speaker 2: to start dismantling that. How long does that take? How

385
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:15,520
Speaker 2: much time is that going to take because they've been

386
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:17,480
Speaker 2: here for quite some time with the last administration.

387
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:21,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's a lot I can't talk about now, but

388
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:24,480
Speaker 4: very publicly, I think you've seen a lot happen.

389
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:26,320
Speaker 1: A lot is happening every day.

390
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:29,400
Speaker 4: Our great men and women in law enforcement are out there.

391
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:32,080
Speaker 4: It's a joint effort with our office and with Christy.

392
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:33,920
Speaker 1: Nome and again, we all.

393
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:38,160
Speaker 4: Work so well together, whether it's Mike Waltz.

394
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:38,720
Speaker 3: No are friends.

395
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:40,919
Speaker 2: I think people don't understand this, like this is a

396
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:43,240
Speaker 2: group in this administration. And you and I have talked

397
00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:46,159
Speaker 2: about this on the show. You guys are friends, like you'

398
00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:49,040
Speaker 2: all know each other before you got here. How important

399
00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:52,040
Speaker 2: are those relationships that you say, hey, I trust excuse me,

400
00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:54,639
Speaker 2: I trust you, I trust you, I trust you.

401
00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:55,480
Speaker 3: I got your back.

402
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:56,080
Speaker 1: Let's go to.

403
00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:59,600
Speaker 4: Work vital and crucial and Mike Walt's and Christy we're

404
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:02,439
Speaker 4: on the phone with each other all the time. And

405
00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:04,480
Speaker 4: to change the topic just a little bit, just just

406
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:06,800
Speaker 4: to give you an example, Leez Eldon a dear friend

407
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:07,120
Speaker 4: of mine.

408
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:08,520
Speaker 1: On President's Day.

409
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:13,080
Speaker 4: EPA, Lee's Eldon, great administrative of EPA. I'm on the

410
00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:16,960
Speaker 4: phone hours with Scott Bessen, our Secretary of Treasury and

411
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:20,640
Speaker 4: Leez Elden. And you know we've seen thanks to Elon Musk,

412
00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:23,920
Speaker 4: my buddy's great work, and it's been reported.

413
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:25,120
Speaker 1: Look what they're doing.

414
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:26,960
Speaker 4: And yeah, I'm changing the subject a little bit, but

415
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:33,200
Speaker 4: they're giving out billions of dollars after Joe Biden lost

416
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:36,600
Speaker 4: the election, trying to push this money out the door.

417
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:39,160
Speaker 3: As surely shoveling cash out the windows.

418
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:42,480
Speaker 4: As I said, gold bars, Let's throw all the gold

419
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:45,320
Speaker 4: bars off the ship. Ye, And we're stopping them. We're

420
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:49,159
Speaker 4: stopping them in real time. We're going after them. But

421
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:51,520
Speaker 4: it's because we all pick up the phone and we

422
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:55,040
Speaker 4: talked directly to each other, so we're able to work together.

423
00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:56,960
Speaker 1: Talk to Marco Rubio.

424
00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:59,760
Speaker 4: And look at them in like Steve Whitcoff out there,

425
00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:04,119
Speaker 4: what they're doing, working with Marco and Mike Watson, all

426
00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:07,240
Speaker 4: the great the people that they're saving around the world.

427
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:10,400
Speaker 4: And that's thanks to one man, Donald Trump. He put

428
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:11,760
Speaker 4: all of us in these positions.

429
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:16,680
Speaker 3: Well, and in the consistent nine spread of the cabinet

430
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:21,320
Speaker 3: nominees is that you're all change agents. You all came

431
00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:24,240
Speaker 3: in with the mission and it is Listen, there has

432
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:26,920
Speaker 3: never been a first month of any presidency in the

433
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:30,159
Speaker 3: history of the United States of America like the last

434
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:31,440
Speaker 3: thirty days.

435
00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:35,000
Speaker 1: Amen.

436
00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:39,679
Speaker 3: And I'll tell you I have had great joy turning

437
00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:42,280
Speaker 3: to my Democrat colleagues in the Senate and just dead

438
00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:48,840
Speaker 3: patting well three years and eleven months ago, and they

439
00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:53,480
Speaker 3: literally start twitching like you get. They have facial tics

440
00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:57,360
Speaker 3: that they cannot suppress. Yeah, but all right, Pam. One

441
00:23:57,440 --> 00:24:00,359
Speaker 3: of the things that people like about this podcast that

442
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:03,199
Speaker 3: we try to do is we try to bring people

443
00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:07,680
Speaker 3: behind the scenes to actually understand what's going on behind

444
00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:12,240
Speaker 3: closed doors. So tell us about your first day as

445
00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:16,760
Speaker 3: attorney general. You're confirmed and like day one when you

446
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:19,760
Speaker 3: get sworn in, just just walk everyone through what day

447
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:24,240
Speaker 3: one of being Attorney General in the United States is, like, you.

448
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:27,240
Speaker 4: Go NonStop And I jokingly said it felt like fifteen

449
00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:30,800
Speaker 4: years because you're working seven days a week NonStop. You're

450
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:34,200
Speaker 4: when we're all working with each other, and everything we

451
00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 4: do it overlaps, and especially with Department of Justice, especially too,

452
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:39,919
Speaker 4: with all this money going out in the USA and

453
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:42,240
Speaker 4: all of these agencies and we're going to be helping

454
00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:43,119
Speaker 4: all these agencies.

455
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:45,760
Speaker 1: But you just hit the.

456
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:49,879
Speaker 4: Ground running, literally and don't look back.

457
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:52,160
Speaker 1: I don't look at what time of day it is.

458
00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:54,680
Speaker 4: It's I don't think I've slept in fifteen days, but

459
00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:55,800
Speaker 4: you don't want to.

460
00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:58,040
Speaker 1: And then when you find.

461
00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:01,320
Speaker 4: Out about this human trafficking that was just broken up,

462
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:04,399
Speaker 4: it's just that's why we're all doing what we're doing,

463
00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:09,560
Speaker 4: and you just keep going forward and our directive, our

464
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:13,800
Speaker 4: directive from our boss is so easy, especially on my end,

465
00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:15,720
Speaker 4: make America safe.

466
00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:19,120
Speaker 1: And so you just don't, Senator, you.

467
00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:21,800
Speaker 4: Don't even big My heart is saying us, I forget

468
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:24,000
Speaker 4: to eat. You forget what time it is, and at

469
00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:25,560
Speaker 4: six o'clock at night, And why do I have a

470
00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:28,120
Speaker 4: headache because I haven't eaten today? But you're going non

471
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:31,680
Speaker 4: stop and it's not me. It's an entire team. I've

472
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:34,440
Speaker 4: got Chad myself, I've got Animal, I've got Todd Blanche,

473
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:36,720
Speaker 4: thank goodness coming in. And we've got cash for telling now,

474
00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:38,879
Speaker 4: so they better look out.

475
00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:43,960
Speaker 2: How nice is it to have a boss by the

476
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:45,440
Speaker 2: guy and guy by the name of Donald J.

477
00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:48,440
Speaker 1: Trump who just lets you do your job exactly.

478
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:51,160
Speaker 2: I mean, there's a lot of presents in the past

479
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:53,439
Speaker 2: that have really tried to keep their thumb on people.

480
00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:57,520
Speaker 2: It seems like he's saying, go and go, get it done,

481
00:25:57,560 --> 00:25:58,679
Speaker 2: and call me when you need me.

482
00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 4: He is trusted all of us and all of our

483
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:05,480
Speaker 4: various capacities and all the different roles we have, whether

484
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:10,159
Speaker 4: it's education or agriculture, you know, all the cabinet labor,

485
00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:13,920
Speaker 4: all of the different cabinet secretaries, just to go out

486
00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:16,960
Speaker 4: and do the best we can, and you know, we

487
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:20,720
Speaker 4: want to make all of you proud, and we want

488
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:23,359
Speaker 4: to fulfill his directive to make our country great.

489
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:25,440
Speaker 1: That may ensured it in me that job.

490
00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:27,800
Speaker 4: He's a good friend of mine and I love during

491
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:30,560
Speaker 4: my confirmation hearing when they try they get on me

492
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:33,919
Speaker 4: because they say I'm friends with Donald Trump. Yes, no,

493
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:35,920
Speaker 4: I'm not friends with them. I'm good friends with him,

494
00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:43,000
Speaker 4: and I'm very proud to work for him.

495
00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:47,000
Speaker 3: You know, when you look at weaponization and politicization, part

496
00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:49,680
Speaker 3: of it is using it to attack your political opponents,

497
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:52,159
Speaker 3: and we've seen four years of that under Joe Biden.

498
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:56,320
Speaker 3: Another part of it is turning the other way at

499
00:26:56,359 --> 00:27:00,200
Speaker 3: your political allies and refusing to enforce the law against them.

500
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:03,200
Speaker 3: And I think one of the most egregious examples we've

501
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:06,760
Speaker 3: seen over the last two years is the rising anti

502
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:12,119
Speaker 3: Semitism on college campus. I mean the violent protesters and rioters,

503
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:14,919
Speaker 3: many of whom are not students, are not affiliated with

504
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:18,760
Speaker 3: the universities, and they are threatening students. You look at

505
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:22,640
Speaker 3: Columbia University. The Orthodox rabbi there sent out an email

506
00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:26,040
Speaker 3: to the Jewish students on campus and said do not

507
00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:30,720
Speaker 3: come to campus because the university cannot and will not

508
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:36,080
Speaker 3: keep you safe. And the Biden Justice Department did nothing.

509
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:40,320
Speaker 3: They investigated nobody, they didn't follow the money, they didn't

510
00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:44,159
Speaker 3: indict anyone, they didn't prosecute anyone, and they did not

511
00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:47,840
Speaker 3: enforce Title six of the Civil Rights Laws, which say

512
00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:51,879
Speaker 3: that if you are tolerating harassment on the basis of

513
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 3: ethnicity or religion, that you will have your federal funds

514
00:27:55,760 --> 00:28:01,040
Speaker 3: cut off. How is the Department of Justice different today

515
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:05,000
Speaker 3: and and what what will your approach be to anti

516
00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:08,919
Speaker 3: Semitism and threats of violence directed against Jewish students on

517
00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:10,960
Speaker 3: campus or any other students on campus.

518
00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:14,560
Speaker 4: We have an October seventh task force that we started,

519
00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:17,399
Speaker 4: and we will protect you. When I was just a

520
00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:19,919
Speaker 4: citizen before I had this job, what you said, I'm

521
00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:22,640
Speaker 4: watching these these aren't peaceful protests.

522
00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:25,960
Speaker 1: We all believe in peaceful protests. Uh oh, I'm sorry.

523
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:29,520
Speaker 4: Unless you're a liberal and you don't want a parent

524
00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:33,760
Speaker 4: to quietly pray outside an abortion clinic, or you're a

525
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:36,879
Speaker 4: Cauntholic or a parent at a school board, they're going

526
00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:40,800
Speaker 4: to call you a domestic urist. I'm screaming up my

527
00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:44,920
Speaker 4: TV watching these violent protests. You know, the last since

528
00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:48,040
Speaker 4: October seventh. You're watching this happen, and all of our

529
00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:49,600
Speaker 4: students deserve.

530
00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:51,320
Speaker 1: To be safe. First of all, these these.

531
00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:54,160
Speaker 4: Students from who are here on visas, who are who

532
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:57,760
Speaker 4: are threatening our American students need to be kicked out

533
00:28:57,800 --> 00:28:58,760
Speaker 4: of this country.

534
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:16,840
Speaker 3: Amen. It is refreshingly simple to have an attorney general

535
00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:19,840
Speaker 3: who has the approach that you're going to follow the

536
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:23,680
Speaker 3: law and enforce the law, and that sadly has been

537
00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:26,400
Speaker 3: missing for the last four years.

538
00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:30,120
Speaker 4: It's pretty basic, isn't it.

539
00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:36,760
Speaker 3: It should not be complicated. Let me ask you what

540
00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:39,880
Speaker 3: keeps you up at night? What scares you in the

541
00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:41,120
Speaker 3: first two weeks in this job.

542
00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:47,800
Speaker 4: Pretty much everything. I don't sleep at night anymore. Of course,

543
00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:51,240
Speaker 4: everything we talked about, the drugs, the cartels, the great

544
00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:53,400
Speaker 4: Maybe I'll get a little sleep tonight based on the

545
00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:56,280
Speaker 4: arrest that we're just made, the children that are being trafficked,

546
00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:59,160
Speaker 4: things that have been so personal to me since I

547
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:00,880
Speaker 4: was a state prospers here and then since I was

548
00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:02,040
Speaker 4: state attorney general.

549
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:03,960
Speaker 1: Now you just get to help people on a.

550
00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:06,520
Speaker 4: Bigger level, which is pretty pretty cool to get to

551
00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:12,320
Speaker 4: do that. But most recently it's really been what Elon

552
00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:18,280
Speaker 4: has been uncovering and the USA the waste at EPA,

553
00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:24,880
Speaker 4: this money, trillions of dollars they believe just being handed out,

554
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:27,520
Speaker 4: which is most likely making a round trip.

555
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:30,320
Speaker 1: Going to terrorist organizations.

556
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:32,840
Speaker 3: And you are on the front line of defending the

557
00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:36,360
Speaker 3: president and Elon Musk and Doze and all the effort

558
00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:40,720
Speaker 3: they're doing. And every day we are seeing Democrat attorneys

559
00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:45,120
Speaker 3: general and Democrat interest groups suing the president, suing Elon Musk,

560
00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:48,120
Speaker 3: suing the federal government and the Department of Justices on

561
00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:53,000
Speaker 3: the front lines, And sadly, we're seeing left wing activist judges,

562
00:30:53,080 --> 00:31:00,760
Speaker 3: individual district court judges issuing nationwide injunctions. Yeah, tell us

563
00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:04,040
Speaker 3: about what it's like defending against those lawsuits, and give

564
00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:08,240
Speaker 3: us your thoughts on the authority of one radical district

565
00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:11,480
Speaker 3: judge to try to run the executive branch and issue

566
00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:12,480
Speaker 3: a nationwide in junction.

567
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:18,080
Speaker 1: Two words, we're winning. But yeah, so you've got one.

568
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:22,640
Speaker 5: I like that answer, one unelected district judge trying to

569
00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:27,960
Speaker 5: tell President Trump, who was elected overwhelmingly by the American people,

570
00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:30,960
Speaker 5: where federal funds can go.

571
00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:35,320
Speaker 4: We're winning even in liberal courts. By the way, I'm senator,

572
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:38,520
Speaker 4: We're winning. And if not We're going to go all

573
00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:40,040
Speaker 4: the way to the Supreme Court.

574
00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:41,640
Speaker 1: And keep winning.

575
00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:44,200
Speaker 3: Well, Pam, let me say you and I have been

576
00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:47,400
Speaker 3: friends a long time time. I am thrilled with the

00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:49,680
Speaker 3: job you're doing. I'm thrilled. I was thrilled when the

578
00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:53,760
Speaker 3: President announced your nomination. And let me say, on behalf
