• 1:00
  Speaker 3: So welcome.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: Thank you.
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: You have been Attorney General fifteen.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: Day it feels like fifteen years.
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: I believe you. And by the way, you just got
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: some help an hour ago. The Senate just finished confirmation.
• 1:14
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: I've been on the phone with him NonStop.
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: I talked to him on the ride over here. He
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: is going to do fantastic. All right, let's start fifteen days,
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: You've come into what I think is the single most
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: important cabinet position in this administration, because we went through
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: four years of Biden weaponizing the Department of Justice, using
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: it to attack his enemies and to support his friends.
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: So let me ask you, come into DOJ. You've got
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: a mission. You've got a mission to restore integrity to
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: the department, to end the weaponization and politicization. How do
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: you do that? How do you get that done?
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: You know the volume, Senator, what concerned me the most.
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: It's the volume of how bad it was and it
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: still is. We're working on it. It's day by day
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: by day. But we've got a team of great people.
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: And on day one I issued fourteen executive orders, and
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: number one is the weaponization ends, and it ends now.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: And that's what we did.
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: Let me ask you something. In the fifteen days you've
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: been there, how many DOJ employees have said something to
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: the effect of thank God?
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: A lot of them, I believe you.
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: Look. I spent four years hearing from a USA's assistant
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: US attorneys, hearing from FBI agents, hearing from men and
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: women who believe in the rule of law and were
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: horrified at the politicization of the FBI and the DOJ,
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: and so I know for a lot of good, honorable
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: men and women who devoted their careers to defending the Constitution,
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: there's a lot of gratitude that they can get back
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: to doing their job.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: Their core function. And that's thanks to Donald J.
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: Trump getting back in office, and he gave us a
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: clear directive make America safe.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: And that's what we're going to do. And you know,
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: these to start with.
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: The law enforcement agencies talking about cash. These men and
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: women didn't go to Quantico. They're not risking their lives
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: to waste their time on all this politicization and rating
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: mar A Lago. Really stopping all of that is stopping,
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: and we are returning them to their core function fighting
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: violent crime. And that's what the great majority of men
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: and women in law enforcement DEA A. T. F. US
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: Marshall's FBI, as well as the incredible legal team at
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: the Justice Department, that's what they want to do.
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: So let's talk about one of the most lawless aspects
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: of the last four years, which was the open borders
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: that we saw and the twelve million illegal immigrants that
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: have come into this country. You've had just two weeks.
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: But you've hit the ground running, going after the criminals,
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: going after the murderers, going after the rapists, going after
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: the child molesters, going after the Venezuelan gang members. Tell
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: us number one, what you're doing as Attorney General, that
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: is making a real difference, that is already making America safer.
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: And number two, I understand you have some breaking news
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: concerning my home state of Texas, which I'm particularly proud
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: to hear.
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: I do, I do, and the press really even out yet.
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: Joint Task Force Alpha that we elevated once we came
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: in office. It's with the Department of Justice and the FBI,
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: and we work hand in hand with Homeland Security. Christinome
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: is awesome. We all worked so well together. Joint Task
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: Force Alpha just made a huge arrest in Warres Texas, Warres, Mexico.
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: They were headed to Texas to El Paso and smuggling. Yeah.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: Huge. That's why we do what we do every day.
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: That's why these agents risk their lives every single day.
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: It's humans smuggling and a lot of children, a lot
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: of children they're saying are safer because of this.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: Let me ask you a question, President Trump, and this
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: has made headlines on what you're just talking about. We've
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: designated these cartels as terrorist organizations. What does that allow
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: you to do in your job? And Cash Fortael now
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: is the head of the FBI. What is that going
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: to give you the ability to do and to go
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: after them?
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: Well, Stephen Miller is doing a great job ahead as
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: we are right leading this effort with all of us.
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: Mike Waltz at d D. We all work so keet Hagseth.
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: We all work so well together, and it gives us
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: the ability.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: It gives they are a terrorist group.
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: And it gives us the ability to go after them
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: more ability anywhere in the world and treat them as terrorists.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: They are terrorists.
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: If you're bringing Fittanel into this country and killing our kids,
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: you're a terrorist and we're coming after you.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: Three hundred a day is the average that are dying
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: in this country right now. When you took this job
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: and you hear that number and you saw the inaction
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: from the last administration, how angry did that make you
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: so angry?
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: You know, I was State ag before I became the
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: United States Attorney General, and Fittanahl was really just coming
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: on the market and now with this horrible open border
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: policy just flowing flowing across our borders and killing kids,
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: killing adults every single day, and it's criminal that no
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: one was doing anything to stop it. I can't comprehend
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: how any administration, progressive nor conservative, how any administration.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: Could tolerate that and let that happen.
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: And it ended day one with Donald Trump when he
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: shut that board. I was at the border back in September.
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: I went with Lara Trump and Morgan Ortegas Yep and
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: we were in Yuma, Arizona, and I saw firsthand there
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: is nothing humanitarian that was happening.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: At that border, nothing nothing.
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: They have a rape tree where they're raping women as
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: they're coming into this country. I saw firsthand piles and
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: piles of passports just thrown from every country you can imagine,
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: because the Biden administration was letting you walk right in
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: the country if you didn't have a passport. They said
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: they saw Asian Chinese individuals saying, oh, we're from Cuba,
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: so they wrote down there from Cuba and had to
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: let them legally walk right in under that administration. But
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: the drugs, the trafficking, I learned a new term disposable child.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: The customs, the border.
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: The border patrol agents told me that they saw a
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: little boy and they kept recognizing the same little boy
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: over and over and over coming in. Because if you
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: came in, our country is a family unit, they just
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: let you walk right in. What the littlechild was being trafficked, Yes,
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: now how they were getting him back to Mexico is
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: beyond me, but they were bringing him time and time again.
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: He wasn't their family, So who knows what happened to
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: his parents?
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: Well, and I will say a number of people in
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: the room gasped at a term you use, which unfortunately
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: is a real term, rape tree. And it's something that
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: we're seeing. We've been seeing for the last four years
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: in Texas. We've seen it in Arizona that the cartels
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: will go and violently rape women. They'll violently rape teenage girls,
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: young girls, and then they will hang their underwear in
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: the tree. And you'll find a tree down on the
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: southern border with ten twenty pairs of underwear as their
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: mocking law enforcement, saying we can do whatever we want.
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: And for four years, the Biden Justice Department they just
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: turned a blind eye and they facilitated it. You know,
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: you talked about the kids. So they have a policy
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: if you arrive with a kid, it's essentially a get
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: out of jail free card. And so you started seeing
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: a phenomenon that we've never seen an immigration before, which
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: is single young men showing up with little kids. Now
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: that's not a normal pattern of migration, but we started
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: seeing military age men showing up with little boys and
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: little girls, many of whom are physically and sexually assaulted
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: in transit, and the same kid the cartels would recycle
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: over and over and over again to bring in gang members,
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: to bring in criminals. Now, let me ask this, what
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: is most effective stopping the invasion at the southern board the.
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: Border closing our borders, which is what we've done. Donald
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: Trump has closed our border. But now, of course we
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: all know we have so many of these illegal aliens,
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: fighting age men ages thirteenth, eighteen to thirty five in
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: our walking around our country.
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: And President, how concerned are you right now about the
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: twelve million illegal aliens who came in under Joe Biden?
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: And about the risk of terrorism of Hamas of hesbela
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: Palestinian Islamic jihad, the risk of terrorism targeting Americans across
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: this country.
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: It's it's it's a huge risk and we all we
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: all know how bad it is now. And that's what
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: Donald Trump is committed to do, is to take these
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: people out of our country, to prosecute them, to deport them,
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: to get them off our streets. And that's what all
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: of these law enforcement agencies are doing.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: You know Lake and.
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: Riley, of course, that beautiful young woman, University of Georgia.
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: Lake and Riley is probably the most prominent name. But
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: look how many Lake and Riley's are out there.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: One victim is too.
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: Many, Jocelyne, Right, I mean the numbers every day. And
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: I got to say so already in the first two weeks,
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: you sued New York, you sued Chicago.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: You can clap for that.
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: These sanctuary city that are fighting, and I've got to
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: say Massachusetts in particular action. Our last podcast we talked
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: about this. Yeah, how Massachusetts continues to this day to
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: have violent child rapist illegal immigrants who they release on
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: the streets and they refuse to notify Ice. They refuse.
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: These are illegal immigrants who could be deported immediately. And
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: the Massachusetts officials take criminals who violently rape little kids.
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: Let me ask you, what is your message to a mayor,
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: to a local official who wants to defy federal immigration law.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: Well, our message is very clear.
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: I sued Illinois first Chicago, first day, first day, and
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: I gave a very strong warning. If you don't comply
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: with the law, you're next. And guess who didn't listen
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: New York Kathy Hochel got sued.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: They all got sued in New York.
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: And if you don't follow the law, you're going to
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: be next, because we are going to get violent criminals
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: off our strip.
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: And you know, Senator, it's more than that.
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: They're endangering the lives of our great men and women
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: in law enforcement.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: That's what people don't understand.
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: When you're hiding illegal aliens from law enforcement, you're endangering
• 12:34
  Speaker 4: their lives.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: It's gonna stop.
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: So let me ask you. Two weeks into it, you've
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: been at do OJ. What's your assessment. Is it as
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: bad as you thought it would be? Is it better?
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: Is it worse?
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: It's worse, of course, it's now worse.
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: Here to chaos.
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: Worse meaning yeah, that that department had completely lost its
• 12:59
  Speaker 4: mission of fighting violent crime. I look what they did
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: to President Trump look at the weaponization and weaponization ended,
• 13:06
  Speaker 4: and the.
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: Deep state is very real.
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: I think all of you in this room know that
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: it's very real, and people trying to undermine everything you're doing.
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: You know, three weeks into it, I went in one
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: department and found huge twenty by twenty glosses of Joe Biden,
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: Merrick Garland, and Kamala Harris still hanging up in my office.
• 13:29
  Speaker 4: They're gone, they're gone, They're gone. And guess guess what's
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: replacing it? A very handsome photo of a man, Donald.
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: Trump, not the one in the hallway, right that that picture,
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: that one that way.
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: Okay, I like that.
• 13:46
  Speaker 4: One that replacing, But but I make light of that.
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: But that's what's happening. You know, he had been in
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: office three weeks and the deep state still had those
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: pictures hanging. And that's to me, that's defiant. It's in
• 13:58
  Speaker 4: suborn nation, not going to happen. But you know what
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: we said, most people, the majority of the people, are
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: great people who went to law school, became prosecutors, became
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: law enforcement agents to fight crime.
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: You've spent your professional life as a prosecutor career, how
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: important is it to you to go after bad guys
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: and to get bad guys off the street and keep
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: people safe.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: It means everything.
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: And that the drug epidemic, you know, the fentanyl just
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: flowing into our country now, the terrorists, the gangs, TDA
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: trans DIEGUIS, MS thirteen, all of the gangs for now,
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: terrorist organizations. We've got to stop them. And that's that's
• 14:39
  Speaker 4: why we do what we do, and it's all we
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: all have to work together. And working with Homeland Security
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: has been great.
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: So one of the most shocking statistics from the prior
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: administration is the number three hundred thousand, three hundred sap
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: thousand children that the prior administration had in custody and
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: that they lost that they do not know where they are.
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: We know that many of those children are being abused
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: right now. Tell me about the efforts you and Homeland
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: Security and the Trump administration, the efforts you are doing
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: to find those children and to get them out of
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: harm's way.
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: That's top priority, and that's Donald Trump's top priority, to
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: find these victims and to save them. And that's what
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: I don't I can't, I truly can't comprehend how any
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: administration would let that happen and not care and that's
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: what we're all fighting for. And you know, you say,
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: when you take a job with this incredible volume, you think.
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: How do you do it? How do you focus every day?
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: And you do it by saying, if I can save
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: one life, yeah it's worth it.
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: Well it's a lot more than one.
• 15:44
  Speaker 4: It is.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: That's how you start one life.
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: And it is thousands and ultimately more. So I want
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: to say something to the folks here at Seapac, which is,
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: as many of y'all know, Ben and I do this
• 15:57

• 16:10
  Speaker 3: to go directly to the American people and to bring
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: the truth and bring the fact. So I want to

  Speaker 3: under forty, you know what I'm talking about. And if
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: you're not, ask their kids or ask your grandkids. Although
• 16:56

  Speaker 3: and connected, so you may know as well if you're
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: here at Seapack. But every mind, subscribe doesn't mean a costume.
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: Mind to quote your dad, Oh, my father points out
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: that my dad is eighty five, and he said when
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: he hears subscribe, he thinks it's a magazine subscription. There's
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: no charge. It just magically appears in your phone early
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: in the morning on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, and we
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: bring in guests like the Attorney General of the United States,
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: and we focus on what is happening, the victories that
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: President Trump is winning, and the news that the corporate
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: media won't cover. I want to ask you two four
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: zero zero five.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: I want to ask you a question.
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: It's one that I've been dying to ask you, and
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: it deals with all of the pardons that were given
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: out from Joe Biden at the end. There were a
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: lot that went to his family. It is what it
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: is there's one person he did not pardon. That would
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: be himself. There are a lot of people who think
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: there should be accountability. Should this be something that is
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: looked at to see what he did while he was president.
• 18:02
  Speaker 4: Don't you find it very interesting though, that they attempted
• 18:06
  Speaker 4: to prosecute the president for having documents in the most
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: secure place in the world other than the White House,
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: Mara Laga, and he had the security clearance to take them.
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: Yet Joe Biden, who had no security clearance to take
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: them at the time, had them in his garage with
• 18:21
  Speaker 4: his drug addict son going in and out.
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: Of his garage. Yet what did they say about him
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: too old to prosecute? Frail frail old man.
• 18:31
  Speaker 4: But listen, Donald Trump and I have not talked about
• 18:35
  Speaker 4: that at all. This is not about targeting. This is
• 18:38
  Speaker 4: what they do to us. This is not about targeting.
• 18:41
  Speaker 4: This is not about weaponization. This is about keeping America
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: safe and going forward and prosecuting violent criminals. If you
• 18:49
  Speaker 4: committed a crime in this country, no one is above
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: the law. I will say that no one is above
• 18:55
  Speaker 4: the law.
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: So Pam, the media are going crazy about New York
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: Mayor Eric Adams and the charges that were dismissed against him.
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: So glad you brought it up.
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: Tell us what the story is, what happened there and
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: why were the charges dismissed?
• 19:13
  Speaker 4: Sure, and Amol, who has done an incredible job he
• 19:17
  Speaker 4: worked on this case.
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: He looked at this case.
• 19:19
  Speaker 4: It was an incredibly weak case filed to make deportation harder.
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: That's why they did it.
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: They took one of the biggest mayors in the country
• 19:31
  Speaker 4: off the playing field in order to protect their sanctuary city.
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: This case, it was so incredibly weak. It was about
• 19:41
  Speaker 4: increases in airline tickets, upgrades and airline tickets in his
• 19:45
  Speaker 4: official capacity without getting into all the details of the fact.
• 19:49
  Speaker 4: I don't even think it could survive a verdict.
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: Excuse me. Incredibly weak case. That is the weaponization of government.
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: That's law fair filing, that's law fair when you're filing
• 20:00
  Speaker 4: cases like that to keep someone who criticized Joe Biden,
• 20:04
  Speaker 4: who said they took away his security clearance so he
• 20:08
  Speaker 4: could not get the details, so he could not help
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: enforce the.
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: Deportation efforts in New York.
• 20:14
  Speaker 4: And you know these people are going after him right
• 20:17
  Speaker 4: a subway in New York.
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: It's not safe.
• 20:20
  Speaker 4: Violent crime is at an all time high, and that's
• 20:23
  Speaker 4: what they're doing.
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: So it's not about weaponization.
• 20:26
  Speaker 4: It's about ending their weaponization of the government and fighting
• 20:30
  Speaker 4: violent crime and enabling cities like New York and mayors
• 20:35
  Speaker 4: like Eric Adams to enforce Donald Trump's immigration policies.
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: I want to ask you and go back saying you
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: said a moment ago we were talking about cartels, and
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: they have been able to set up networks, and we
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: see this coming up now more often. We're the controlling
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: states and cities and states and the entire flow, and
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: they've been able to do this and set it up
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: without having to worry that anyone's going to stop them.
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: We're seeing this not on border states, but all over
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: the country, this network. At what point do we get
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: to start dismantling that. How long does that take? How
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: much time is that going to take because they've been
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: here for quite some time with the last administration.
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah, there's a lot I can't talk about now, but
• 21:21
  Speaker 4: very publicly, I think you've seen a lot happen.
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: A lot is happening every day.
• 21:27
  Speaker 4: Our great men and women in law enforcement are out there.
• 21:29
  Speaker 4: It's a joint effort with our office and with Christy.
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: Nome and again, we all.
• 21:33
  Speaker 4: Work so well together, whether it's Mike Waltz.
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: No are friends.
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: I think people don't understand this, like this is a
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: group in this administration. And you and I have talked
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: about this on the show. You guys are friends, like you'
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: all know each other before you got here. How important
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: are those relationships that you say, hey, I trust excuse me,
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: I trust you, I trust you, I trust you.
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: I got your back.
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: Let's go to.
• 21:56
  Speaker 4: Work vital and crucial and Mike Walt's and Christy we're
• 21:59
  Speaker 4: on the phone with each other all the time. And
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: to change the topic just a little bit, just just
• 22:04
  Speaker 4: to give you an example, Leez Eldon a dear friend
• 22:06
  Speaker 4: of mine.
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: On President's Day.
• 22:10
  Speaker 4: EPA, Lee's Eldon, great administrative of EPA. I'm on the
• 22:13
  Speaker 4: phone hours with Scott Bessen, our Secretary of Treasury and
• 22:17
  Speaker 4: Leez Elden. And you know we've seen thanks to Elon Musk,
• 22:20
  Speaker 4: my buddy's great work, and it's been reported.
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: Look what they're doing.
• 22:24
  Speaker 4: And yeah, I'm changing the subject a little bit, but
• 22:27
  Speaker 4: they're giving out billions of dollars after Joe Biden lost
• 22:33
  Speaker 4: the election, trying to push this money out the door.
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: As surely shoveling cash out the windows.
• 22:39
  Speaker 4: As I said, gold bars, Let's throw all the gold
• 22:42
  Speaker 4: bars off the ship. Ye, And we're stopping them. We're
• 22:45
  Speaker 4: stopping them in real time. We're going after them. But
• 22:49
  Speaker 4: it's because we all pick up the phone and we
• 22:51
  Speaker 4: talked directly to each other, so we're able to work together.
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: Talk to Marco Rubio.
• 22:56
  Speaker 4: And look at them in like Steve Whitcoff out there,
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: what they're doing, working with Marco and Mike Watson, all
• 23:04
  Speaker 4: the great the people that they're saving around the world.
• 23:07
  Speaker 4: And that's thanks to one man, Donald Trump. He put
• 23:10
  Speaker 4: all of us in these positions.
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: Well, and in the consistent nine spread of the cabinet
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: nominees is that you're all change agents. You all came
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: in with the mission and it is Listen, there has
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: never been a first month of any presidency in the
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: history of the United States of America like the last
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: thirty days.
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: Amen.
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: And I'll tell you I have had great joy turning
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: to my Democrat colleagues in the Senate and just dead
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: patting well three years and eleven months ago, and they
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: literally start twitching like you get. They have facial tics
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: that they cannot suppress. Yeah, but all right, Pam. One
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: of the things that people like about this podcast that
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: we try to do is we try to bring people
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: behind the scenes to actually understand what's going on behind
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: closed doors. So tell us about your first day as
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: attorney general. You're confirmed and like day one when you
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: get sworn in, just just walk everyone through what day
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: one of being Attorney General in the United States is, like, you.
• 24:24
  Speaker 4: Go NonStop And I jokingly said it felt like fifteen
• 24:27
  Speaker 4: years because you're working seven days a week NonStop. You're
• 24:31
  Speaker 4: when we're all working with each other, and everything we
• 24:34
  Speaker 4: do it overlaps, and especially with Department of Justice, especially too,
• 24:38
  Speaker 4: with all this money going out in the USA and
• 24:40
  Speaker 4: all of these agencies and we're going to be helping
• 24:42
  Speaker 4: all these agencies.
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: But you just hit the.
• 24:45
  Speaker 4: Ground running, literally and don't look back.
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: I don't look at what time of day it is.
• 24:52
  Speaker 4: It's I don't think I've slept in fifteen days, but
• 24:55
  Speaker 4: you don't want to.
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: And then when you find.
• 24:57
  Speaker 4: Out about this human trafficking that was just broken up,
• 25:01
  Speaker 4: it's just that's why we're all doing what we're doing,
• 25:05
  Speaker 4: and you just keep going forward and our directive, our
• 25:09
  Speaker 4: directive from our boss is so easy, especially on my end,
• 25:14
  Speaker 4: make America safe.
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: And so you just don't, Senator, you.
• 25:19
  Speaker 4: Don't even big My heart is saying us, I forget
• 25:21
  Speaker 4: to eat. You forget what time it is, and at
• 25:24
  Speaker 4: six o'clock at night, And why do I have a
• 25:25
  Speaker 4: headache because I haven't eaten today? But you're going non
• 25:28
  Speaker 4: stop and it's not me. It's an entire team. I've
• 25:31
  Speaker 4: got Chad myself, I've got Animal, I've got Todd Blanche,
• 25:34
  Speaker 4: thank goodness coming in. And we've got cash for telling now,
• 25:37
  Speaker 4: so they better look out.
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: How nice is it to have a boss by the
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: guy and guy by the name of Donald J.
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: Trump who just lets you do your job exactly.
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: I mean, there's a lot of presents in the past
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: that have really tried to keep their thumb on people.
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: It seems like he's saying, go and go, get it done,
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: and call me when you need me.
• 25:59
  Speaker 4: He is trusted all of us and all of our
• 26:02
  Speaker 4: various capacities and all the different roles we have, whether
• 26:05
  Speaker 4: it's education or agriculture, you know, all the cabinet labor,
• 26:10
  Speaker 4: all of the different cabinet secretaries, just to go out
• 26:13
  Speaker 4: and do the best we can, and you know, we
• 26:17
  Speaker 4: want to make all of you proud, and we want
• 26:20
  Speaker 4: to fulfill his directive to make our country great.
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: That may ensured it in me that job.
• 26:25
  Speaker 4: He's a good friend of mine and I love during
• 26:27
  Speaker 4: my confirmation hearing when they try they get on me
• 26:30
  Speaker 4: because they say I'm friends with Donald Trump. Yes, no,
• 26:33
  Speaker 4: I'm not friends with them. I'm good friends with him,
• 26:35
  Speaker 4: and I'm very proud to work for him.
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: You know, when you look at weaponization and politicization, part
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: of it is using it to attack your political opponents,
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: and we've seen four years of that under Joe Biden.
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: Another part of it is turning the other way at
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: your political allies and refusing to enforce the law against them.
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: And I think one of the most egregious examples we've
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: seen over the last two years is the rising anti
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: Semitism on college campus. I mean the violent protesters and rioters,
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: many of whom are not students, are not affiliated with
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: the universities, and they are threatening students. You look at
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: Columbia University. The Orthodox rabbi there sent out an email
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: to the Jewish students on campus and said do not
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: come to campus because the university cannot and will not
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: keep you safe. And the Biden Justice Department did nothing.
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: They investigated nobody, they didn't follow the money, they didn't
• 27:40
  Speaker 3: indict anyone, they didn't prosecute anyone, and they did not
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: enforce Title six of the Civil Rights Laws, which say
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: that if you are tolerating harassment on the basis of
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: ethnicity or religion, that you will have your federal funds
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: cut off. How is the Department of Justice different today
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: and and what what will your approach be to anti
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: Semitism and threats of violence directed against Jewish students on
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: campus or any other students on campus.
• 28:11
  Speaker 4: We have an October seventh task force that we started,
• 28:14
  Speaker 4: and we will protect you. When I was just a
• 28:17
  Speaker 4: citizen before I had this job, what you said, I'm
• 28:20
  Speaker 4: watching these these aren't peaceful protests.
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: We all believe in peaceful protests. Uh oh, I'm sorry.
• 28:26
  Speaker 4: Unless you're a liberal and you don't want a parent
• 28:29
  Speaker 4: to quietly pray outside an abortion clinic, or you're a
• 28:33
  Speaker 4: Cauntholic or a parent at a school board, they're going
• 28:36
  Speaker 4: to call you a domestic urist. I'm screaming up my
• 28:40
  Speaker 4: TV watching these violent protests. You know, the last since
• 28:44
  Speaker 4: October seventh. You're watching this happen, and all of our
• 28:48
  Speaker 4: students deserve.
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: To be safe. First of all, these these.
• 28:51
  Speaker 4: Students from who are here on visas, who are who
• 28:54
  Speaker 4: are threatening our American students need to be kicked out
• 28:57
  Speaker 4: of this country.
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: Amen. It is refreshingly simple to have an attorney general
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: who has the approach that you're going to follow the
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: law and enforce the law, and that sadly has been
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: missing for the last four years.
• 29:27
  Speaker 4: It's pretty basic, isn't it.
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: It should not be complicated. Let me ask you what
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: keeps you up at night? What scares you in the
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: first two weeks in this job.
• 29:42
  Speaker 4: Pretty much everything. I don't sleep at night anymore. Of course,
• 29:47
  Speaker 4: everything we talked about, the drugs, the cartels, the great
• 29:51
  Speaker 4: Maybe I'll get a little sleep tonight based on the
• 29:53
  Speaker 4: arrest that we're just made, the children that are being trafficked,
• 29:57
  Speaker 4: things that have been so personal to me since I
• 29:59
  Speaker 4: was a state prospers here and then since I was
• 30:00
  Speaker 4: state attorney general.
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: Now you just get to help people on a.
• 30:03
  Speaker 4: Bigger level, which is pretty pretty cool to get to
• 30:06
  Speaker 4: do that. But most recently it's really been what Elon
• 30:12
  Speaker 4: has been uncovering and the USA the waste at EPA,
• 30:19
  Speaker 4: this money, trillions of dollars they believe just being handed out,
• 30:25
  Speaker 4: which is most likely making a round trip.
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: Going to terrorist organizations.
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: And you are on the front line of defending the
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: president and Elon Musk and Doze and all the effort
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: they're doing. And every day we are seeing Democrat attorneys
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: general and Democrat interest groups suing the president, suing Elon Musk,
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: suing the federal government and the Department of Justices on
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: the front lines, And sadly, we're seeing left wing activist judges,
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: individual district court judges issuing nationwide injunctions. Yeah, tell us
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: about what it's like defending against those lawsuits, and give
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: us your thoughts on the authority of one radical district
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: judge to try to run the executive branch and issue
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: a nationwide in junction.
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: Two words, we're winning. But yeah, so you've got one.
• 31:18
  Speaker 5: I like that answer, one unelected district judge trying to
• 31:22
  Speaker 5: tell President Trump, who was elected overwhelmingly by the American people,
• 31:28
  Speaker 5: where federal funds can go.
• 31:31
  Speaker 4: We're winning even in liberal courts. By the way, I'm senator,
• 31:35
  Speaker 4: We're winning. And if not We're going to go all
• 31:38
  Speaker 4: the way to the Supreme Court.
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: And keep winning.
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: Well, Pam, let me say you and I have been
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: friends a long time time. I am thrilled with the
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: job you're doing. I'm thrilled. I was thrilled when the
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: President announced your nomination. And let me say, on behalf
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: of thirty one million Texans and Americans across this country,
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: thank you. Thank you for stepping forward and answering the call.
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: Thank you for pouring your heart into defending this nation,
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: into keeping my kids safe, keeping Ben's kids safe, keeping
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: all of our kids safe. And thank you for remaining
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: faithful to the Constitution and the Bill of Rights and
• 32:20
  Speaker 3: restoring integrity to the Department of Justice. It is desperately
• 32:24
  Speaker 3: needed and you're doing a hell of a job.
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: Thank you, my friend, and thank you for fighting flor Us.
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: Thank you guys here for being here as well.
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: Don't forget we do this show Monday, Wednesday and Fridays,
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: so make sure that subscribe writ her down with a button.
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: God bless America.
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: Well, thank you, my friend. Thank you
