• 06:00 - 06:30 upper tier and maybe the top tier and I believe that's going to happen so proud of the people in this room but first we must be honest about the lies and abuses that have occurred Within These Walls unfortunately in recent years a corrupt group of hacks and radicals within the ranks of the American government obliterated the trust and Good Will built up over Generations they weaponized the vast powers of our
• 06:30 - 07:00 intelligence and law enforcement agencies to try and thwart the will of the American people you remember the 51 intelligence agents that said as an example that Hunter Biden's laptop from Hell came from Russia when they knew it came right from his bedroom they knew that it was a big lie and they knew it so well they spied on my campaign launched one hoax and disinformation operation after another broke the law on a colossal scale persecuted my family
• 07:00 - 07:30 staff and supporters raided my home maralago and did everything within their power to prevent me from becoming the president of the United States with the help of radicals like Mark Elias Mark pomerance and these are people that nobody's ever seen anything like it so many others but these are people that are bad people really bad people
• 07:30 - 08:00 they tried to turn America into a corrupt communist and third world country but in the end the thugs failed and the truth won Freedom won Justice won democracy won and above all the American people won there could be no more heinous betrayal of American values than to use the law to terrorize the innocent and reward the wicked and that's what they were doing at a level that's never been seen before
• 08:00 - 08:30 and it's exactly what you saw with Joe Biden Merck Garland and their cronies to do the building of the last four years they ripped what they've ripped down is incalculable but what you're going to build up is likewise something that will be breaking all sorts of Records they set loose violent criminals while targeting patriotic parents at Schoolboard meetings they drop charges against antifa
• 08:30 - 09:00 and Hamas supporters while labeling traditional Catholics as domestic terrorists the Catholics we did very well with the Catholic votes so I want to thank them for that they imported they really did we did record numbers I would say what's with the Catholics they're really after the Catholics so I don't know they we're after a lot of people maybe they didn't even know why they imported illegal alien murderers drug dealers and child Predators from all over the world to
• 09:00 - 09:30 come into our country while putting elderly Christians and pro-life activists on trial for singing hymns and for saying prayers they went to jail for that our predecessors turned this Department of Justice into the department of Injustice but I stand before you today to declare that those days are over and they are never going to come back they're never coming back [Applause]
• 09:30 - 10:00 so now as the chief law enforcement officer in our country I will insist upon and demand full and complete accountability for the wrongs and abuses that have occurred the American people have given us a mandate a mandate like few people thought possible we won every single swing state we won the popular vote by millions and millions of people we won districts
• 10:00 - 10:30 2,750 think of that 2750 District compared to 55 so we want it at levels that have I don't believe ever seen before that's the one where you see the map of the United States and it's all red red for Republican not for communist red for Republican they would like it to turn red for communist but it didn't work out that way the American people have given given us a mandate and really a far re
• 10:30 - 11:00 just a far-reaching investigation is what they are demanding into the corruption of our system and that's exactly I'm sure what Pam and cash and everyone else mentioned here and not mentioned is going to be doing we will expel the Rogue actors and corrupt forces from our government we will Expose and very much expose their egregious crimes and severe misconduct of which was levels you've never seen
• 11:00 - 11:30 anything like it it's going to be legendary it's going to also be legendary for the people that are able to seek it out and bring Justice we will restore the scales of Justice in America and we will ensure that such abuses never happen again in our country and that's why on day one I signed an executive order banning all government censorship and directing the removal of every bureaucrat who conspired to attack free speech and many other things and
• 11:30 - 12:00 values in America my Administration stripped the security clearances of the disgraced intelligence agents who lied about Hunter Biden's laptop from hell we revoke the clearances of deranged jacksmith Alvin brag Leticia James and the Crooked law firms that aided their partisan persecutions and I went through it these are uh state and city courts and and the corruption is
• 12:00 - 12:30 unbelievable we also terminated the clearance of the Biden crime family and Joe Biden himself he didn't deserve it in fact he was essentially found guilty but they said he was incompetent and therefore let's not find him guilty I guess nobody knows what that ruling was but I didn't want any part of it I think I would have rather been found guilty than what they found with him they said he didn't know what the hell he was doing and therefore he's let him go I
• 12:30 - 13:00 said you know I'd rather be convicted Pam I think than that that was not good I said please convict me don't say that I pardoned hundreds of political prisoners who had been grossly mistreated we removed the senior FBI officials who misdirected resources to send SWAT teams after grandmothers and j6 hostages and I it was a great honor for me to fire I will tell you this a great honor to fire James come me a
• 13:00 - 13:30 great great honor that was nothing there was no better day a lot of people said oh that's too bad you did that and they said that's going to be and you know what they a year later they said that actually saved the administration because the level of corrupt things that we learned after that turned out to be that they were doing in fact really bad things he was a terrible person did terrible things and persecuted people and uh all in the guise of being an angel but he wasn't an angel we created
• 13:30 - 14:00 a brand new doj task force and anti-christian bias and under director Patel were getting the FBI agents out of the headquarters in Washington DC and backo on the streets in pursuit of dangerous criminals where they belong and where they want to be and uh you know you have that big FBI building and it's a very big building and they were going to build an FBI headquarters 3 hours away in Maryland a liberal state but has no bearing on what I'm about to
• 14:00 - 14:30 say but we're going to stop it not going to let that happen we're going to build another big FBI building right where it is which would have been the right place because the FBI and the doj have to be near each other you can't every that's one thing I did learn from this persecution the FBI and the doj work together now in my case they work together for bad purposes but they do they were always together so how can you have one that's three hours away but one thing I said to cash well we're going to get a great building built it's going to be a magnificent building he said sir we
• 14:30 - 15:00 don't need that kind of room I said what do you mean he said I'm just going to take a old Department of Commerce building that's about 25% the size and that's what I need we're going to have the best staff that you've ever seen and that's what I need it's in a nice location but I don't need that big building why don't you just sell the site to somebody and uh we're going to be very happy and uh they they want to have far fewer people but we also want to have them in DC and if for no other reason we like having law enforcement
• 15:00 - 15:30 walking the streets of our Capital because when the bad guys are out there and they see there's an FBI agent that's the ultimate in law enforcement and they're not going to be acting so bad we're cleaning up our city we're cleaning up this great capital and we're not going to have crime and we're not going to stand for crime and we're going to take the graffiti down and we're already taking the tents down and we're working with the administration and if the administration can't do the job we're going to take uh we're going to have to take it back and run it
• 15:30 - 16:00 through the federal government but we hope the administration's going to be able so far they've been doing very well the mayor's been doing a good job we said uh they're a tense Galore right opposite the state department they have to come down and they took them down right away and so so far so good but we want to have a capital that can be the talk of the world when Prime Minister Modi of India when uh the president of France and all of these people the head of prime minister of uh United Kingdom
• 16:00 - 16:30 they all came to see me over the last uh week and a half and when they come in I like to I had I had the route run I didn't want to have them see tents I didn't want to have them see graffiti I didn't want to have them see broken barriers and potholes in the roads and we had it looking beautiful and we're going to do that for the city and we're going to have a crime free Capital when people come here they're not going to be mugged or shot or raped they're going to have a crime free Capital again it's
• 16:30 - 17:00 going to be cleaner and better and safer than it ever was and it's not going to take us too long there's a new phenomena that is taking place with these violent vicious lawyers that we have all over they play The Ref you know what playing The Ref is like the great Bobby Knight basketball coach he' scream and scream at the ref it's scream I watch the by the way I love Bobby Knight because he endorsed me and having having Bobby Knight's endorsement in Indiana was an extremely good thing A friend of mine

• 18:00 - 18:30 phenomenon I took his number and on each side of my desk in New York I had stacks of paper like nice and neat but about 2 feet high each and I said you know I wrote his number down and I put it here two years ago I said let me see if I can find it it was almost like a miracle I had other Miracles that happened too my ear is still throbbing that was a miracle that was a miracle also wasn't it that was a miracle also

• 20:30 - 21:00 the big media Outlets said uh what we did was the most consequential election in the last 129 years well if we do the job that we're all capable of doing I think it's going to be it's going to prove to be that and uh and then some and that's what we want to do we have a real big shot at making this country so great so great what happened to our country was so sad what they've done in four years to our country with the the borders with Afghanistan the
• 21:00 - 21:30 embarrassing most embarrassing uh period of time allowing the Russian situation was never going to happen with Ukraine allowing October 7th to happen would have never happened because under me Iran was totally broke they had no money they weren't giving any money to Hamas so Hezbollah was totally broke but allowing uh inflation look at what inflations done to people been so devastating and now you see that by the way price of eggs is down 35% in the last week and a half we're doing a
• 21:30 - 22:00 good job Brook is doing a good job Brook Rollins and everybody and inflation's down interest rates are down gasoline has come down down to uh a level that we haven't seen in a long time all things that we wanted to do because then everything else is going to be coming down we want it to come down we want bacon to come down and uh groceries a term I used to use it's sort of an oldfashioned term but I used to use it on the on the campaign Trail those last 90 perfect beautiful days we
• 22:00 - 22:30 just hit it and I want to thank Susie you have done a great job Susie WS great job sus a big magazine just named her the most powerful woman in the world and that's okay with me she is the most powerful woman in you think about it John right the most powerful woman in the world but she's great and we had a great 90 days it was a perfect 90 days and uh it was a great result but we want to put that result to good use by doing
• 22:30 - 23:00 a phenomenal job and I want to tell you that uh Todd and Amel know this very well we had a an amazing judge in Florida and her name is Eileen Cannon and I didn't know her I still don't know her I don't believe I ever spoke to her even during the trial but I did appoint her federal judge and these fake lawyers these horrible
• 23:00 - 23:30 human beings were hitting her so hard public relations wise they were playing the ref I don't think it's legal I don't think it's legal they might as well go out and just shout it in a courthouse they were saying she was slow she wasn't smart uh she was totally biased uh she loved Trump she I didn't know her other than I saw her the couple of days that I was in court and I thought her decorum was
• 23:30 - 24:00 amazing anything bad they could say though they were saying about her it was uh whatever they could say bad about a human being all made up because actually she was brilliant she moved quickly she was the absolute model of what a judge should be and she was strong and tough and how do you get them to stop if you're a judge how do you get them to stop with the playing the rough Bobby Knight would play play The Ref that's why I brought up the Bobby night story he would play
• 24:00 - 24:30 The Ref he'd scream at the ref he'd scream so hard oh boy it was terrible actually and the people would come up his assistant coaches would come up the play coach coach don't do that you don't do it he said he's not going to change his tune coach he called it he's not changing I don't care and he screaming that's when he threw a chair he starts going crazy and he said no he's not going to change this time but he's going to change for the next play and sure as hell he did you know Bobby by the way
• 24:30 - 25:00 had the last undefeated team in basketball and relatively speaking you know he had a team he always had a team he never had that he had a couple of great players obviously with some top NBA players but very few relatively he had a team but he had he won the National Championship three times but he had the last undefeated team in basketball and uh he would play the rough and he would scream at him he knew exactly what he was doing they're doing the same thing they said no he's not going to change but he's going to change for the next one that's what he wanted
• 25:00 - 25:30 to do he wanted to scare the hell they wanted to scare the hell out of the judges and they do it uh and how do you stop it if you're a judge because you want to go home you have a family you have children and the New York Times will write whatever these people say and the Washington Post and the Wall Street Journal and msdnc and the fake news CNN and ABC CBS and NBC and they'll write whatever they say and what do you do to get rid of it you convict Trump all you
• 25:30 - 26:00 have to do is be really tough on him and ultimately convict him and they leave you alone it's totally illegal what they do I just hope you can all watch for it but it's totally illegal and it was so unfair what they were doing to her but they do it all the time with judges but in her case she was very courageous and it only made her angry wouldn't you say it just made her angry she didn't like it a lot of them say oh please don't say that about me my family
• 26:00 - 26:30 what's my husband going to say what's my wife going to say or my kids please don't say that and it had absolutely no impact on her and the case against me which was a case I will not use a bad word I promised I promised my wife I would never use a bad word so just a little bad the case against me was and she correctly dismissed it
• 26:30 - 27:00 she correctly she correctly look at Amel is looking that's interesting but these two guys were warriors you got a warrior here you got two Warriors I can tell you that you got a whole bunch of them but uh and they wouldn't quit they wouldn't take no for an answer they just wouldn't quit these two people right up here and some others that are involved with it indirectly and what the lawyers do is they're doing it to the Supreme Court
• 27:00 - 27:30 Justice is hoping that they'll uh be overcome by the horrible things they say about they say things about Supreme Court Justices and judges that are just horrible they're playing the refere remember the way they treated Justice Thomas And Justice Alo and justice kaver justice Gorsuch chief justice Roberts get treated unbelievably badly and they're hoping that they can sway them to go along because again what do they do
• 27:30 - 28:00 they're humans you know like any it would be wonderful if everybody was just a perfect computer machine but they're not they're humans and they don't want to be accused of many many things including gross incompetence they don't like it and they don't want it there's not much they can do about it you know they're in a position they can't really fight back really very well and so what they do is sometimes they get weak I would say a majority maybe of the time that's why I'm so impressed with judge cannon in Florida
• 28:00 - 28:30 how strong she was how she held up it actually made her more Resolute than anything I've seen I mean it was amazing because they were hitting her so hard it was so sad to watch this but it's sad what they do to other judges it's very sad what they do to the Supreme Court and uh all of a lot of the judges that I had if you look at them they take tremendous abuse in the New York Times And The Washington Post all of of the different networks they take such abuse
• 28:30 - 29:00 and honestly they're simp very simply they're afraid of bad publicity they don't want bad publicity and it's uh truly interference in my opinion and it should be illegal and it probably is illegal in some form uh there's no difference than speaking to a judge or shouting to a judge or doing whatever you have to do in a courthouse they're doing it behind the back they're usually doing it anonymously they're saying andonly off the Record the judge is no
• 29:00 - 29:30 good but everybody knows where it's coming from and it's totally coordinated it's a campaign and it's by the same scum that you have been dealing with for years like guys like Andrew Weissman derange Jack Smith there's a guy named nor meisen I don't even know what he looks like his name is nor meisen of crew he's been after me for nine years now crew is a charitable organization and and the reason I'm saying this Todd is I'm only going to get one chance to say this but these are
• 29:30 - 30:00 bad people I don't know who he is I don't know what he looks like but everything I read is norming of crew and crew is a charitable organization and that's a political thing a sole life is to get Donald Trump and he's been vicious and violent and he's trying and he probably had pretty good success over the years but with me how did he do I think I'm president am I here because I'm president but we had to take all of that abuse even during the
• 30:00 - 30:30 trials we had to take tremendous abuse like you know these wonderful guys they're not legitimate people they they're horrible people they're scum and uh you have to know that and you're going to have these these cases where you can't allow yourselves to be deflected you just can't let it happen you have so many you have such a higher calling and I believe that CNN and msdnc who literally write
• 30:30 - 31:00 97.6% bad about me are political arms of the Democrat Party and in my opinion they're really corrupt and they're illegal what they do is illegal it makes no difference how big a victory I had I can have the biggest victory in history it makes no difference what kind of a failure the other side has uh these people are going to go after me and I said it during the other night during the big speech on Tuesday night I said about Democrats and I don't like that I
• 31:00 - 31:30 I have great respect by the way for what Schumer did today he went out and he said that I'm going to have to vote with the Republicans because it's the right thing to do I couldn't believe what I heard but you know I think he's going to get some credit for it I think let's see what happens tonight with the big vote as it comes but uh these networks and these newspapers are really no different than a highly paid political operative and it has to stop it has to be illegal it's influencing
• 31:30 - 32:00 judges and it's in it's really uh changing law and it just cannot be legal I don't believe it's legal and they do it in total coordination with each other and everything we do we're restoring law restoring order and restoring Public Safety in America that's what we want to do and we're bringing honor and integrity and accountability back to the highest levels of the FBI doj and throughout our government we're bringing
• 32:00 - 32:30 our country back faster than anyone ever thought possible we're working so hard at doing it and we want fairness in the courts the courts are a big factor the elections which were totally rigged um are a big factor we have to have honest elections we have to have borders and we have to have courts and law that's fair well we're not going to have a country crooked Joe Biden got us into a real mess with Russia and everything else he did Frank L but he didn't know about it and he generally speaking signed it with
• 32:30 - 33:00 autopen so how would he know that autopen is a big deal I don't know you know they're having who's who's doing this so when my people come up Will and all of the people Steve they come up and ser this is an executive order they explain it to me and you know 90% of the time I sign it 99% of the time I say do it but they come up and I sign it but you don't use autopen it's uh number one it's this respectful to the office number two maybe it's not even valid
• 33:00 - 33:30 because you know who's getting him to sign he had no idea what the hell he was doing if he did all of these bad things wouldn't be happening right now but uh we're going to get you back into a great position and we've already started they say that we had the uh most successful first month of President it's not a long time but it's still a lot it's like if you're a golfer sinking a three-foot putt on the first hole gives you confidence to sink something on the second hole but if you miss that first putt uh you don't like to have the putt
• 33:30 - 34:00 on the second hole in the third hole it could be a very bad experience it's nice to get that first month and now we have more than a month now we have a month and a half and it's going really really well I can tell you is little secret although the cameras are blazing back there so it's not that much but I think we're doing well as you have been hearing about Ukraine I think we're doing now well with uh Russia uh we're speaking with President Putin we want to get the war over uh not only have we
• 34:00 - 34:30 spent maybe $350 billion do to Europe's think think of that 350 billion to 100 billion and yet we're across the ocean far away so it shouldn't have been that way but Biden let that happen too and uh we're getting a deal where we're going to get that back but much more importantly are the lives that we're talking about uh on average 2,000 young people are being killed every single day now they're not from here they're from nowhere we're close to here but they're young people they're human beings and
• 34:30 - 35:00 they have parents they have sisters and brothers the mothers and fathers the friends and the families and the towns where they grew up and they're losing on average 2,000 even 2,500 a week and I want to get it stopped and we've had uh some very good calls today with Russia and with Ukraine they've agreed for ceasefire if we can get it with Russia and it's not easy
• 35:00 - 35:30 it's a it's a tough one but I think we're doing it and as the Secretary General said yesterday of NATO a terrific guy he said without Trump would wouldn't be talking about it it would just go on for years and millions more people millions of people have been killed but Millions more people would be killed and he said it was a great honor without me uh it would just keep going on we're looking for the ceasefire now with Russia and we've had
• 35:30 - 36:00 some very good talks about it we've had some very good responses and uh I can tell you that there was a case where there would have been no war if I were president and it's just 100% would not have happened would never have happened I us speak to President Putin a lot about it I said don't do it don't do it I won't tell you what the consequence was I won't tell you what he but if he believed even 5% of what I said then he would say I'm not not going to do it and I think he did
• 36:00 - 36:30 but we had a good relationship and we had a professional relationship and uh his respect for this country and uh I think we had I think we've had some very good results so you know I haven't been able to say that to anybody else I haven't wanted to say it until just before I came here I got some pretty good news so but we have to see what happens it's still a long way to go the fighting is unbelievable uh Russia has uh a large group of Ukrainian soldiers as we speak surrounded and in
• 36:30 - 37:00 grave danger they've been able to surround them they're in grave danger Biden should have never let this war happen first of all uh you don't want to pick on somebody that's a lot larger than you even with the money there's a lot of money that we gave them and a lot of equipment we make the best military equipment in the world but even with all of that um it's uh unbelievable right now you have a lot of Ukrainian soldiers that are encircled and in grave danger and I've asked them not to kill those
• 37:00 - 37:30 soldiers please not to kill those soldiers we don't want them killed it's such a shame to see what's happened thing like that would have never happened inflation would have never happened October 7th would have never happened Israel Iran had no money they were totally broke think of it they had no money to give to anybody they were totally broke and within a short period of time as soon as Biden came in he took out all the sanctions in China and everybody else that wasn't buying oil
• 37:30 - 38:00 from Iran was buying it at levels that they never spent before and uh it was it was a sad thing and if you look at Afghanistan that that was probably what got Putin started because when he looked at how horribly it horribly we looked I think the most embarrassing day not that we got out because we were getting out I would have been out faster than them I was the one that got it down to the right level but we would have kept bogram the Big Air Force we would have kept it right now China occupies bam and
• 38:00 - 38:30 the reason we would have kept it is because they were one hour away from where China has and builds its nuclear missiles and weapons and they gave that up at the dark of night they left the lights on and they left the dogs behind by the way a lot of people say what about all the dogs they had a lot of dogs and they left the dogs behind and uh what a shame what a shame the way we got out I think it was the most humiliating time in the history of our country the way it happened not that we
• 38:30 - 39:00 were getting out because we wanted to get out but we would have gotten out with dignity and strength and what a difference a rigged and crooked election had on our country when you think about it and the people who did this to us should go to jail they should go to jail so I just want to say God Bless America because uh we have to say God bless we're lucky we're still here frankly uh and this whole thing could lead I think I think we have it I think we have it but this could lead to World
• 39:00 - 39:30 War III very easily could very easily lead to World War III but I think we're in pretty good shape a lot better than we were before we got involved that I can tell you it was going that was heading into World War III territory and that would have been a war like no other because of nuclear weapons and other types of weapons that people you don't even want to know about but is many of you do know well we focused
• 39:30 - 40:00 on persecuting and these people were really F focused on persecuting Republicans the last Administration presided over the worst increase in violent crime in our country in many many decades we had levels of violence and crime and a lot of it had to do with the illegal immigrants that came in remember when I used to complain about it cuz I knew how tough they were how mean they were and they said no no people that come in to our country are all wonderful people no they're not
• 40:00 - 40:30 wonderful these are Stone Cold Killers these are killers like they make our killers look nice by comparison they make our killers look nice these are rough tough people with the tattoos all over their face historically speaking I don't want to discriminate against anybody but historically speaking they're not going to be the head of any major bank that we know of these are rough people these are rough rough killer people and they allowed them in by the Millions in major cities like New York Chicago and Washington mothers
• 40:30 - 41:00 can't walk their children to the park without fear of being shot or killed or raped or anything women can't ride the subway without worrying that a hoodlum will shove them onto the train tracks in New York it's happened twice in the last couple of weeks they're standing there perfect Wall Street gentleman in one case and another person who was a worker good worker an electrician gets pushed into a train
• 41:00 - 41:30 going 45 miles an hour just prior to the train not stopp being going to go through that I know the stations very well I used to take the subway I used to feel safe when I was young I'd go to my parents would drop me off at the subway i' take the subway through my school can you believe it today they wouldn't be doing that and we want to back we want to get a country back maybe where you can do that again Pam but it's so sad to see what uh what's taking place under the Biden regime average monthly homicides increased by
• 41:30 - 42:00 14% property crime Rose tremendously violent crime went up at least 37% that they know of rape soared by 42% car theft Rose by 48% and robbery surged to 63 to 100% they don't even know what the number is and I have no higher Mission as president of the United States and to end this killing and stop this law breaking and to making America safe again and that's what you're all about in this room we want to protect
• 42:00 - 42:30 Americans and we protect everybody that's in our country American or not America we want to have a safe and proud country we're joined today by dozens of police officers sheriffs and sheriffs deputies from all across the country my message to these law enforcement here is as simple with me in the White House you once again have a president who will always have your back we'll always have your back thank you
• 42:30 - 43:00 FKS thank you that's a lot of good-look people I will tell you I feel safe I'm glad you're in the room I feel even safer it's a lot of great people on day one I signed an executive order directing attorney general to ensure that anyone who murders a police officer immediately with as fast a trial as we could have gets the death
• 43:00 - 43:30 [Applause] penalty and last month I fired all the radical left proc crime us attorneys appointed by Joe Biden there were so many that were bad and I know there there were some that were probably very good but there were so many that was so bad and so evil so corrupt instead of having Marxist prosecutors who want to put police officers and handcuffs and go after a police officer rather than a
• 43:30 - 44:00 criminal I appointed patriotic tough one crime Warriors who will partner with police to put dangerous offenders Behind Bars put them in jail we're fully Reviving 1033 program to provide state and local law enforcement with Surplus military equipment that we have so much of it I did it in my last Administration and I remember Obama wouldn't do it he wouldn't do it before me would not do it because he thought it made them look too strong tooo military I said no that's
• 44:00 - 44:30 what I want them to look like I want them to look strong and it was protective defensive equipment we had billions of dollars I gave it out and now I'm going to have a chance to give it out again they didn't want to do it with Biden and Biden didn't know why I didn't you know they would have asked him he wouldn't have been able to answer the question he could never answer a question they said my press conference yesterday was longer than all of Biden's press conferences put together for the last four years and I don't know if that's true but it was close
• 44:30 - 45:00 and perhaps most importantly we're securing our border and repelling the invasion of America we have uh you see the numbers have come down so and Tom Holman and chrisy were have been incredible Christino and secretary she's done great and Tom homman is I don't know if Tom Holman's here but wherever he may be I think he's chasing people out of our country if he was here i' almost be disappointed what are you doing Tom but he's a fantastic guy and he's a brave guy over the past four
• 45:00 - 45:30 years other countries emptied out their prisons and jails mental institutions and insane asylums and sent the killers drug smugglers and bloodthirsty inmates from the filthiest dungeons of the world straight into the USA and open border we had an open border policy anybody could come in no matter what you were no matter where you came from no matter what you look like no matter what you were doing no matter what you did no matter how many people you murdered you could come right into our country we have murderers right now walking the
• 45:30 - 46:00 streets we're joined today by Tammy nobl whose 20-year-old daughter Kayla was attacked in her home three years ago horrifically assaulted and strangled to death by an illegal alien MS13 monster set loose into our country under the open border Biden regime Kayla was one of countless American victims ripped away from their families by the open border polic IES of that Administration and we're also joined by Kayla's
• 46:00 - 46:30 stepfather Jeremiah and several other courageous angel families here today and I'd love you to all just stand up and take a bow because you are incredible people please thank [Applause] you thank you thank you very
• 46:30 - 47:00 much thank you but I want you to know that we are working every day to expel these Savages from our country and ensure that what happened to your loved ones will never happen again so their legacy is going to be a great one thank you all very much we appreciate it on day one of my Administration I declared a National Emergency on our Southern border our first full month in office we achieved the lowest level of legal border crossings ever recorded okay even lower
• 47:00 - 47:30 than four years ago for years Democrats and the media kept saying that we needed new legislation we had to have new legislation we needed it immediately and I never had legislation and I had the best Border in the history of our country for almost four years and by the time I got out we had the lowest numbers ever my favorite chart of all time was brought down that day and on that chart said we had the lowest numbers ever but
• 47:30 - 48:00 it turned out that we really uh didn't need new legislation all you needed was a new president and I said that I said that the other night that's all you needed was a new president saying close the borders because the border patrol is unbelievable isce is unbelievable and all of our law enforcement is just incredible all of you guys are amazing and the people of our country respect
• 48:00 - 48:30 you and they love you and a lot of times you don't hear that because you have to listen to the fake news back there but uh they have great respect for you so I just want you to know that and you know that includes our fire departments too they don't get spoken about enough you know they go into some of the areas I read where they shooting them off ladders can you believe it they go up to put out a fire Leo and they go and they shoot him off a ladder uh it's just unbel believable these firemen and women are incredible so I want to put them in
• 48:30 - 49:00 the same category because they're just incredible I also like that the fact they voted for me like at 94% so I have to mention them I have no choice right but the truth is they're phenomenal people the law enforcement fire everybody their phenomenal basically First Responders because that's what they are they're First Responders and we're ending the migrant occupation of America and what we're doing now is we're liberating our cities and our suburbs and our towns and you see a big difference I'm getting calls all the time from even leaders of other
• 49:00 - 49:30 countries saying sir the whole world feels liberated now it feels like there's a light over America but there's a light over the whole world I hear that so much it's so nice to hear too and I feel it I mean I feel it I look at I see the polls I don't know if the polls are right but they're certainly very good I'll take them right now it's uh amazing amazing what's uh what's taken place in such a short period of time really 6 weeks but it's longer than that it's uh really November 5th I think that hopefully will go down if you do your job great it'll go down as the most
• 49:30 - 50:00 important day one of them at least in the history of our country you know July 4th was pretty 1776 it was pretty important too but let's see if we can top it can we top it I don't know that's a tough one but we're going to try but it will be one of the most important days in the history of our country so I think uh and I think everybody in this room wants that to happen last month we officially designated MS13 trendi aragua that's the Venezuelan gang the toughest
• 50:00 - 50:30 gang they say in the world and the Mexican drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations that's a big deal nobody wanted to do that the [Applause] past and by the way we've caught hundreds of them the Venezuelan gang which is uh as bad as it gets and you'll be reading a lot of stories tomorrow about what we've done with them and you be very impressed and you'll feel a lot safer too because they are a vicious
• 50:30 - 51:00 group they went into Colorado they took over areas of Colorado they sort of were like me they were in the real estate business but they didn't go out and get financing they just took over a building and kept it and they said to the tenants get the hell out of here one man called the police and they cut off his fingers and they say you call again you're other fingers and you call a third time and you're dead these are tough people and bad people and we're getting them out of our country and some are so bad we don't want to get them out we have to put them in jail because we don't want to even
• 51:00 - 51:30 take a chance that they can come back thanks to our efforts Mexico recently handed over 29 of the biggest cartel leaders including the depraved Kingpin charge with the 1985 murder of De agent Kiki Camara and that was a big deal if you know they've been looking for this person for years many years and we got them this evil killer will be now prosecuted to the extent of the law and we know that uh well it's uh let's put
• 51:30 - 52:00 it this way I have to be nice it's a very strong case we're stopping the criminals pouring across our borders at record levels and we're also stopping the massive quantities of deadly drugs in 2023 alone drug overdoses killed more Americans in 12 months than they did during the entire decade between 1980 and 1990 so 10 times more but it's much higher than that more Americans died from fenel last year than died in the Korean War the Iraq War the Afghanistan
• 52:00 - 52:30 war all of them combined that's why I've placed large tariffs on Mexico Canada and China and they will remain in place until these deadly poison stop pouring into our country and I will tell you as soon as I put on the tariffs on Mexico Canada and China uh unbelievable results have been seen in the last few weeks unbelievable results they weren't happy about it you probably read they weren't happy but they are working like hell to end it they weren't working very hard
• 52:30 - 53:00 before I did that with us today is a brave mother and Advocate an funner who lost her beautiful 15-year-old son Weston to fentol and an if you would uh I'd like to ask you to come up and say a few words please thank you
• 53:00 - 53:30 thank you very much thank you daring thank you you're going to be great thank you let me put that down a little bit thank you well first I want to say thank you I think this is the biggest honor of my entire life being on stage with President Trump but I want to tell you a little bit about my son Weston who absolutely Lov president Trump he had a beautiful Trump
• 53:30 - 54:00 2020 flag hanging in his bedroom and he had it on the beach one day and we took a picture and it became our 2020 Christmas card with the most perfect slogan for president Trump peace on Earth but would happen in the next four years would be Devastation to our country and our safety of our children and in 2022 Weston lost his life a freshman in high school at the age of 15 from a single pill that took his
• 54:00 - 54:30 life the cartels were allowed to operate on American soil and took hundreds of thousands of American lives and so we knew there was only one person that could save us from the devastation on our American soil and that was President Trump and so in 2024 we we did the best thing that we could do to keep America safe again and
• 54:30 - 55:00 we elected president Donald J [Applause] Trump thank you thank you thank you thank you and he's done everything that he has promised we have a 98% decrease in border crossings and he has um labeled the terrorist cartels terrorist
• 55:00 - 55:30 organizations and he has um instilled tariffs because there is no price on human life and so I feel like I can speak for the entire fentel fighting Community when I say thank you to to president Trump and thank you to Pam bandi and everyone out here who is fighting this fight God bless you God bless you president Trump God Bless America thank he's up watching he's up there watching
• 55:30 - 56:00 so proud of thank you an very much Weston is I just said to an Weston is up in heaven watching his mom and he's so proud of you he's so proud of you thank you we're also joined today by a number of other American families who have lost
• 56:00 - 56:30 loved ones to fentol and I'd love you to just stand up for a second and we want to acknowledge you and also uh your daughters your sons they're looking down on you and they're they're loving you like crazy so thank you very much thank you thank you thank you this department will not rest until we
• 56:30 - 57:00 have ended the fentel epidemic in America once and for all and less than two months since I took office the DEA and FBI have seized nearly 1 million deadly doses of Fentanyl and that's just the beginning at my direction and working with Pam and everybody else we've launched an allout war on fentol traffickers and it's a war that we're going to win we're going to win this War I spoke with the president of Mexico
• 57:00 - 57:30 very nice woman very fine woman and I said let me ask you you're sending a lot of drugs into our country we're not liking it at all can't do that but I said is Mexico does it have much of a drug she said no we're not a consuming Nation I thought it was an interesting term and I said why and which I've heard also by the way they're not a consuming Nation they distribute but they don't consume but I said why are you not a consumer well we're very close with family I said so we're very close with family too I mean
• 57:30 - 58:00 our families are being devastated and we're just as close why else she said well we spend a lot of money on Advertising saying how bad drugs are they're very rough hats they show the skin falling off and the teeth falling out and going blind and losing hair and everything that these things do you look like you just came out of a horrible concentration camp and uh she said it was uh their rough ads and it's not often that I feel I've
• 58:00 - 58:30 learned something from a phone call cuz I've been I've had a lot of phone calls over my life but I realized right then and there what a great idea that is and we have hired Susie a great person uh who did a lot of our campaign work and we've come up with an advertising campaign that's I think really incredible more than anything else it's it's Terri terrible to watch terrible to watch it's the only way it's going to work and I would be cuz we got
• 58:30 - 59:00 the numbers down 18% would have a blue ribbon committee headed by the first lady of the United States who everyone loves and some of her friends and you know it's they work so hard but it it was it's a tough it's a tough deal they're dealing with very smart and very vicious people you know some of those businesses those cartels are run better than any business in America they say they're run incredibly just here they all over the world they run like a major business but in many cases better and I
• 59:00 - 59:30 said uh we got it 18% down well 18% is incredible it's like a record but when you think of it it's not very much and the way you get it down if you want to get it down to close to 100% is with a death penalty but I think maybe America is not ready for that uh China has a death penalty Singapore has a death penalty various places have the death penalty wherever you have the death penalty you don't have drugs but I just don't know if this country is ready for it so I tell people and it's always an
• 59:30 - 60:00 option but I don't know I just don't know if you're ready for it and that's okay it's nothing you can do but what we're going to do is we're doing this campaign and I think we can get it down 55% with this campaign because when people see all the horrible things that these drugs do to you and we we're especially focused on fentanyl when they see all of the horrible things that happen when you take drugs how you look you lose your look everyone's vain they don't want to lose their look the look is so important and uh I think when they
• 60:00 - 60:30 see these things they may say you know what I'm going to take a pass uh but there is big danger Pam and I were talking about it before a lot of people are taking fenadol and not even knowing they think they're doing something else or maybe taking another drug but at a much lower level and uh they die you can put on the pin think think of this the head of a pin fent andol and it's too much and it will kill the strongest person in the room and uh it's amazing
• 60:30 - 61:00 but we we're going to do this campaign it's going to be launched fairly soon Susie and I think it's going to have a Biga big impact I think if we got it down by another 30 35 points and I really believe we can I think that's an incredible idea so I thank the president of Mexico actually it was a it was a call on tariffs and we talked about drugs and uh she gave me an idea that I think will be very successful and based on what I saw it's going to be amazing under our leadership this department is
• 61:00 - 61:30 once again laser focused on protecting the American people we're defending our borders our streets our children and our good really god-given this is god-given rights and Liberties once and for all we're going to defend our country and we're going to defend our rights etched onto the walls of this building are the words English philosopher John Lock said where law ends tyranny begins and I see that and I saw it over the last four years when somebody was allowed to
• 61:30 - 62:00 attack viciously with this department and the FBI his political opponent how did that work out didn't work out too well but it wasn't pleasant wasn't pleasant I was attacked by a political opponent and uh probably it helped that I was attacked more than anybody in the history of our country alons Capone the great alons Capone legendary Scarface was attacked only a tiny fraction of what Trump was attack and maybe it worked out well I don't know if
• 62:00 - 62:30 I had to give it up I probably wouldn't but only because I've gone through it but I wonder what the difference would be maybe they help get me elected by those margins the big margins the big mandate that we receive but you can't go after your political opponent nobody's ever seen anything like it actually and hopefully they won't see anything like it but now with the return of Law and Order the entire world is witnessing the Triumph of American Justice and American Freedom that's why we're here today gathered with people that have love for
• 62:30 - 63:00 our country in the coming years we will revive the story Legacy of this department it's happening right now can feel it and rekindle the spirit of the great Lawman and legal Lions of the past Americans like Wyer Elliot Ness Frank Hammer Rudy Giuliani Rudy Giuliani had to suffer greatly greatly the greatest mayor in the history of our country had to suffer greatly Ed me Anthony Scalia
• 63:00 - 63:30 Robert Jackson and Robert F Kennedy we will rebuild pride in our institutions we will restore The Prestige of this great department and we will bring back faith in our justice system for the citizens of every race religion color and Creed and I want to just tell you that this has been a great honor I was asked to do it and I said Is it a appropriate that I do it and then I realized uh it's not only appropriate I
• 63:30 - 64:00 think it it's really important and I may never do it again I may never have another chance to do it again because this is something that I'm leaving to the greatest people I know the best people the smartest people the toughest people I know and they're going to do an incredible job and it's an honor for me to have won this election so that I could appoint these people to do their job and they're going to do it like you have never seen so I just want to wish all of you good luck it's going to be an interesting Journey not going to be easy
• 64:00 - 64:30 but you're going to win you're going to win win win and fight fight fight and it's going to end up being a tremendous result for this country so thank you all very much God bless America God bless you all thank [Applause] you all right as you see there we were just listening into president Trump Trump as he made remarks there at the Department of Justice this was a long
• 64:30 - 65:00 awaited speech and so we've been promising that we're going to bring it to you here on a live now from Vox for the last few hours but again during that speech talking about a myriad of things but still focusing a lot on fentol and what his administration plans to do as they seek to root that out of the United States of America and as you see there he standing alongside attorney general Pam Bondi both walking behind the curtain at this point both speaking again today with those remarks at the Department of Justice wanted to bring
• 65:00 - 65:30 that to you here on live now from Fox
