I talked to him on the ride over here. He is going to do fantastic. All right, let's start fifteen days, You've come into what I think is the single most important cabinet position in this administration, because we went through four years of Biden weaponizing the Department of Justice, using it to attack his enemies and to support his friends. So let me ask you, come into DOJ. You've got a mission. You've got a mission to restore integrity to the department, to end the weaponization and politicization. How do you do that? How do you get that done?

You know the volume, Senator, what concerned me the most. It's the volume of how bad it was and it still is. We're working on it. It's day by day by day. But we've got a team of great people. And on day one I issued fourteen executive orders, and number one is the weaponization ends, and it ends now.

Let me ask you something. In the fifteen days you've been there, how many DOJ employees have said something to the effect of thank God?

Let me ask you something. In the fifteen days you've been there, how many DOJ employees have said something to the effect of thank God?

A lot of them, I believe you.

A lot of them, I believe you.

Look. I spent four years hearing from a USA's assistant US attorneys, hearing from FBI agents, hearing from men and women who believe in the rule of law and were horrified at the politicization of the FBI and the DOJ, and so I know for a lot of good, honorable men and women who devoted their careers to defending the Constitution, there's a lot of gratitude that they can get back to doing their job.

And that's what we're going to do. And you know, these to start with.

The law enforcement agencies talking about cash. These men and women didn't go to Quantico. They're not risking their lives to waste their time on all this politicization and rating mar A Lago. Really stopping all of that is stopping, and we are returning them to their core function fighting violent crime. And that's what the great majority of men and women in law enforcement DEA A. T. F. US Marshall's FBI, as well as the incredible legal team at the Justice Department, that's what they want to do.

So let's talk about one of the most lawless aspects of the last four years, which was the open borders that we saw and the twelve million illegal immigrants that have come into this country. You've had just two weeks. But you've hit the ground running, going after the criminals, going after the murderers, going after the rapists, going after the child molesters, going after the Venezuelan gang members. Tell us number one, what you're doing as Attorney General, that is making a real difference, that is already making America safer. And number two, I understand you have some breaking news concerning my home state of Texas, which I'm particularly proud to hear.

I do, I do, and the press really even out yet. Joint Task Force Alpha that we elevated once we came in office. It's with the Department of Justice and the FBI, and we work hand in hand with Homeland Security. Christinome is awesome. We all worked so well together. Joint Task Force Alpha just made a huge arrest in Warres Texas, Warres, Mexico. They were headed to Texas to El Paso and smuggling. Yeah.

Let me ask you a question, President Trump, and this has made headlines on what you're just talking about. We've designated these cartels as terrorist organizations. What does that allow you to do in your job? And Cash Fortael now is the head of the FBI. What is that going to give you the ability to do and to go after them?

Well, Stephen Miller is doing a great job ahead as we are right leading this effort with all of us. Mike Waltz at d D. We all work so keet Hagseth. We all work so well together, and it gives us the ability.

If you're bringing Fittanel into this country and killing our kids, you're a terrorist and we're coming after you.

If you're bringing Fittanel into this country and killing our kids, you're a terrorist and we're coming after you.

Three hundred a day is the average that are dying in this country right now. When you took this job and you hear that number and you saw the inaction from the last administration, how angry did that make you so angry?

You know, I was State ag before I became the United States Attorney General, and Fittanahl was really just coming on the market and now with this horrible open border policy just flowing flowing across our borders and killing kids, killing adults every single day, and it's criminal that no one was doing anything to stop it. I can't comprehend how any administration, progressive nor conservative, how any administration.

Could tolerate that and let that happen.

And it ended day one with Donald Trump when he shut that board. I was at the border back in September. I went with Lara Trump and Morgan Ortegas Yep and we were in Yuma, Arizona, and I saw firsthand there is nothing humanitarian that was happening.

At that border, nothing nothing.

At that border, nothing nothing.

They have a rape tree where they're raping women as they're coming into this country. I saw firsthand piles and piles of passports just thrown from every country you can imagine, because the Biden administration was letting you walk right in the country if you didn't have a passport. They said they saw Asian Chinese individuals saying, oh, we're from Cuba, so they wrote down there from Cuba and had to let them legally walk right in under that administration. But the drugs, the trafficking, I learned a new term disposable child.

The customs, the border.

The customs, the border.

The border patrol agents told me that they saw a little boy and they kept recognizing the same little boy over and over and over coming in. Because if you came in, our country is a family unit, they just let you walk right in. What the littlechild was being trafficked, Yes, now how they were getting him back to Mexico is beyond me, but they were bringing him time and time again. He wasn't their family, So who knows what happened to his parents?

Well, and I will say a number of people in the room gasped at a term you use, which unfortunately is a real term, rape tree. And it's something that we're seeing. We've been seeing for the last four years in Texas. We've seen it in Arizona that the cartels will go and violently rape women. They'll violently rape teenage girls, young girls, and then they will hang their underwear in the tree. And you'll find a tree down on the southern border with ten twenty pairs of underwear as their mocking law enforcement, saying we can do whatever we want. And for four years, the Biden Justice Department they just turned a blind eye and they facilitated it. You know, you talked about the kids. So they have a policy if you arrive with a kid, it's essentially a get out of jail free card. And so you started seeing a phenomenon that we've never seen an immigration before, which is single young men showing up with little kids. Now that's not a normal pattern of migration, but we started seeing military age men showing up with little boys and little girls, many of whom are physically and sexually assaulted in transit, and the same kid the cartels would recycle over and over and over again to bring in gang members, to bring in criminals. Now, let me ask this, what is most effective stopping the invasion at the southern board the.

Border closing our borders, which is what we've done. Donald Trump has closed our border. But now, of course we all know we have so many of these illegal aliens, fighting age men ages thirteenth, eighteen to thirty five in our walking around our country.

Border closing our borders, which is what we've done. Donald Trump has closed our border. But now, of course we all know we have so many of these illegal aliens, fighting age men ages thirteenth, eighteen to thirty five in our walking around our country.

And President, how concerned are you right now about the twelve million illegal aliens who came in under Joe Biden? And about the risk of terrorism of Hamas of hesbela Palestinian Islamic jihad, the risk of terrorism targeting Americans across this country.

And President, how concerned are you right now about the twelve million illegal aliens who came in under Joe Biden? And about the risk of terrorism of Hamas of hesbela Palestinian Islamic jihad, the risk of terrorism targeting Americans across this country.

It's it's it's a huge risk and we all we all know how bad it is now. And that's what Donald Trump is committed to do, is to take these people out of our country, to prosecute them, to deport them, to get them off our streets. And that's what all of these law enforcement agencies are doing.

These sanctuary city that are fighting, and I've got to say Massachusetts in particular action. Our last podcast we talked about this. Yeah, how Massachusetts continues to this day to have violent child rapist illegal immigrants who they release on the streets and they refuse to notify Ice. They refuse. These are illegal immigrants who could be deported immediately. And the Massachusetts officials take criminals who violently rape little kids. Let me ask you, what is your message to a mayor, to a local official who wants to defy federal immigration law.

And if you don't follow the law, you're going to be next, because we are going to get violent criminals off our strip.

When you're hiding illegal aliens from law enforcement, you're endangering their lives.

So let me ask you. Two weeks into it, you've been at do OJ. What's your assessment. Is it as bad as you thought it would be? Is it better? Is it worse?

It's worse, of course, it's now worse.

It's worse, of course, it's now worse.

Deep state is very real.

Deep state is very real.

I think all of you in this room know that it's very real, and people trying to undermine everything you're doing. You know, three weeks into it, I went in one department and found huge twenty by twenty glosses of Joe Biden, Merrick Garland, and Kamala Harris still hanging up in my office. They're gone, they're gone, They're gone. And guess guess what's replacing it? A very handsome photo of a man, Donald.

And that's to me, that's defiant. It's in suborn nation, not going to happen. But you know what we said, most people, the majority of the people, are great people who went to law school, became prosecutors, became law enforcement agents to fight crime.

So one of the most shocking statistics from the prior administration is the number three hundred thousand, three hundred sap thousand children that the prior administration had in custody and that they lost that they do not know where they are. We know that many of those children are being abused right now. Tell me about the efforts you and Homeland Security and the Trump administration, the efforts you are doing to find those children and to get them out of harm's way.

That's top priority, and that's Donald Trump's top priority, to find these victims and to save them. And that's what I don't I can't, I truly can't comprehend how any administration would let that happen and not care and that's what we're all fighting for. And you know, you say, when you take a job with this incredible volume, you think.

I want to ask you a question.

I want to ask you a question.

It's one that I've been dying to ask you, and it deals with all of the pardons that were given out from Joe Biden at the end. There were a lot that went to his family. It is what it is there's one person he did not pardon. That would be himself. There are a lot of people who think there should be accountability. Should this be something that is looked at to see what he did while he was president.

Should this be something that is looked at to see what he did while he was president.

Don't you find it very interesting though, that they attempted to prosecute the president for having documents in the most secure place in the world other than the White House, Mara Laga, and he had the security clearance to take them. Yet Joe Biden, who had no security clearance to take them at the time, had them in his garage with his drug addict son going in and out.

Of his garage. Yet what did they say about him too old to prosecute? Frail frail old man.

Of his garage. Yet what did they say about him too old to prosecute? Frail frail old man.

But listen, Donald Trump and I have not talked about that at all. This is not about targeting. This is what they do to us. This is not about targeting. This is not about weaponization.

They took one of the biggest mayors in the country off the playing field in order to protect their sanctuary city. This case, it was so incredibly weak. It was about increases in airline tickets, upgrades and airline tickets in his official capacity without getting into all the details of the fact. I don't even think it could survive a verdict.

I want to ask you and go back saying you said a moment ago we were talking about cartels, and they have been able to set up networks, and we see this coming up now more often. We're the controlling states and cities and states and the entire flow, and they've been able to do this and set it up without having to worry that anyone's going to stop them. We're seeing this not on border states, but all over the country, this network. At what point do we get to start dismantling that. How long does that take? How much time is that going to take because they've been here for quite some time with the last administration.

You know, when you look at weaponization and politicization, part of it is using it to attack your political opponents, and we've seen four years of that under Joe Biden. Another part of it is turning the other way at your political allies and refusing to enforce the law against them. And I think one of the most egregious examples we've seen over the last two years is the rising anti Semitism on college campus. I mean the violent protesters and rioters, many of whom are not students, are not affiliated with the universities, and they are threatening students. You look at Columbia University. The Orthodox rabbi there sent out an email to the Jewish students on campus and said do not come to campus because the university cannot and will not keep you safe. And the Biden Justice Department did nothing. They investigated nobody, they didn't follow the money, they didn't indict anyone, they didn't prosecute anyone, and they did not enforce Title six of the Civil Rights Laws, which say that if you are tolerating harassment on the basis of ethnicity or religion, that you will have your federal funds cut off. How is the Department of Justice different today and and what what will your approach be to anti Semitism and threats of violence directed against Jewish students on campus or any other students on campus.

And every day we are seeing Democrat attorneys general and Democrat interest groups suing the president, suing Elon Musk, suing the federal government and the Department of Justices on the front lines, And sadly, we're seeing left wing activist judges, individual district court judges issuing nationwide injunctions.
