Remarks:

• congratulations to people leading these historic reforms, starting with extraordinary AG Bondi
• I watched her for a long time in FL. Phenomenal AG.
• new FBI Director Kash Patel. Very proud of him. Went after corrupt judges. These guys never wilted, were not shy, they fought and were not afraid.
• Chad Meisel, respected CoS
• next DEA admin, Terry Kohl
• counsel for OCR, Leo Terrell
• antitrust AAG Gail Slater, terrific reputation, going to do an outstanding job
• General Flynn thank you for being here.

He went through hell and he’s a patriot.

• Sen Chuck Grassley
• House Majority Whip Tom Emmer
• State AG Paxton (Texas)
• WH Deputy CoS Stephen Miller. He has been something very special
• men and women of DOJ brought down the mafia, tore down corrupt political machines, commanded the respect of the world

-lies and abuses that have come from within these walls. Obliterated trust and goodwill built up over generations.

• 51 intel agents who said Hunter Biden’s laptop came from Russia. They knew better, they’d lied
• persecuted my staff and family and supporters. Did everything possible to prevent me
• radicals like Mark Elias, Mark Pomerantz. So many others, these are really bad people.
• thugs failed and freedom, justice, democracy won.
• there is no more heinous betrayal of American values
• it’s what you saw from Biden, Garland and their cronies
• they targeted patriotic parents at school board meetings while dropping charges against Antifa and supporters of Hamas terrorists
• predecessors turned DOJ into the department of injustice
• we will expel rogue actors and corrupt forces from our gov’t. We will expose their misconduct. It will be legendary.
• we will restore scapes of justice in America. That’s why on day 1 I signed EO prohibiting gov’t censorship and stripped security clearances of intel agents who lied about Hunter’s laptop
• Alvin Bragg, Letitia James - state and city courts where the corruption is unbelievable
• revoked security clearances of Biden and his family. Biden was found guilty but let off because of his age/condition
• it was a great honor to fire James Comey. He persecuted people. He wasn’t an angel.
• created task force to handle anti-Christian bias.
• FBI headquarters hours away in liberal state of Maryland
• FBI and DOJ work together so they should be close by.
• Patel proposed taking the old Commerce Building, said we don’t need more space than that
• cleaning up our cities.i
• if the administration (DC City government) doesn’t do what they need to do well manage it with the federal government. Mayor Bowser is doing ok so far.
• crime fee capital where people won’t be mugged or shot or raped when they visit DC
• violent vicious lawyers playing the ref
• [remarks about Bobby Knight]
• we have a real big shot at making this country so great.
• condemned what Biden did with the border, with Ukraine, Oct. 7, inflation
• prices are coming down, gasoline has come down. Everything else is coming down. We want bacon, groceries to come down
• thanks to Susie Wiles, most powerful woman in the world
• it was a perfect 90 days. Great result which we want to put to good use by doing a phenomenal job
• we had amazing judge in FL, Aileen Canon, I don’t know her, never met her though I appointed her.

I don’t think it’s legal for the lawyers to do what they did speaking out against her; calling her biased, questioning her intelligence and qualifications. She’s the absolute model of what a judge should be. She was strong and tough.

• how do you stop it if you’re a judge? And WSJ, ABC, NYT, WaPo, etc will report whatever these lawyers say about these judges?
• she was very courageous. It made [Canon] angry. Had no impact on the case against me.
• I promised my wife I wouldn’t use bad language. But the case against me was bullshit.
• lawyers are doing it to SCOTUS justices too. The way they treated the conservative justices who are treated unbelievably badly.
• they can’t really fight back very well. Sometimes they get weak. Perhaps most of the time. Which is why I’m so proud of Aileen Canon. Sad what they do to other judges.
• bad publicity is interference and it might be illegal, should be illegal in some form.
• bad guys. Scum. Like Norm Eisen
• cases where you can’t allow yourselves to be deflected. We have such a higher calling,
• CNN, MSDNC - 99% of their coverage of me and Republicans is negative.

• these networks and newspapers are no diff from highly paid political operatives and it has to

Stop; has to be illegal. It’s influencing judges,

Changing law. And I don’t believe it’s legal.

• elections were totally rigged.
• We need honest elections and courts and law that’s fair.
• Biden got us into a mess with Russia.
• maybe the things Biden signed aren’t valid because he didn’t know what he was signing.
• we’re doing well with Ukraine, Russia.
• speaking w President Putin we want to get the war over
• on average 2k young people killed every day. Not Americans but they’re young and they have families. 2k, maybe 2.5k people killed per week
• looking for ceasefire with Russia and we’ve had good talks, good responses.
• we’ve had some very good results.
• just before I came here I got some really good news
• Russia has large group of Ukrainian soldiers surrounded and they’re in grave danger
• you don’t wanna pick a fight with someone much bigger than you, not even with all the money we gave them
• the withdrawal from Afghanistan under Biden probably emboldened Putin
• God bless America
• these people (Biden’s people) were focused on persecuting Republicans
• women can’t ride the subway without worrying try at a hoodlum will shove them into the train tracks
• I have no higher mission as POTUS than making America safe again
• we’re joined by dozens of police officers, sheriffs and deputies. My message: you have a president who will always have your back.
• Day 1 EO about death penalty for people who kill police officers
• Biden’s Marxist prosecutors were working to put police officers in handcuffs
• DHS Secretary Kristi Noem is doing a fantastic job
• other countries emptied out prisoners and psych hospital inmates and under Biden we welcomed them into our country

-[angel families asked to stand and take a bow]

• working every day to expel these savages from our country
• day 1 of my admin I declared emergency on the southern border and we got the lowest level of border crossings ever reported
• we don’t need legislation to handle immigration.

I proved it during my first term.

• Fire departments don’t get spoken about enough. They are incredible, unbelievable. And they voted for me like 94%.
• ending migrant occupation of America. Seeing a big difference in our cities and towns.
• last month we designated MS13 and [Venezuelan gang] as foreign terrorist organizations. We caught hundreds of them. They took over areas of Colorado
• Mexico handed over 29 of the biggest cartel leaders
• placed large tariffs on Canada China and Mexico to stop these drugs from flowing into our country. They weren’t happy about it but they weren’t working he to hard to end it before

Angel mom spoke from 4:30 to 4:33

• my son loved President trump. In 2022 Westin lost his life as a 15 year old high school freshman when he took a single pill that was laced with fentanyl
• we knew only one person could save us from this devastation, President Donald J. Trump
• he labeled cartels terrorist orgs. Instilled tariffs because there’s no price on human life.
• thank you President Trump and Pam
