00:00Hi. Please, please be seated. Welcome to the Department of Justice. And I love our team.
00:18Todd Blanche, Emil Bovey, Kash Patel, soon-to-be Terry Cole, Gatti Seralta. Thank you all.
00:27We are going to fight to keep America safe again.
00:37President Trump has prioritized tackling our nation's fentanyl crisis, and he has taken
00:43decisive action to fight it.
00:49I want to thank our U.S. attorneys who are here today, our state attorneys general from
00:56all around the country—I see all my friends out there, my colleagues—who will work to
01:02prosecute violent criminals, get the drugs off our streets, get the gangs off our streets,
01:10and get the illegal aliens out of our country.
01:18And thank you to all of our federal, state, and local law enforcement officers who are
01:23here today, who keep us safe every day and night. Thank you to all of you.
01:33Today we have with us one of the most effective drug-seizing teams in the entire country.
01:40I said I wish I told them earlier, take them and put them in every major city in the country.
01:45Since January, they have saved millions of lives taking drugs and illegal weapons off
01:50the streets of Boston.
01:52And Todd, they asked us for more U.S. attorneys, I told them we're on it.
01:57Could you all please stand?
01:59This is Boston's DEA strike team.
02:07Thank you all.
02:25We also have two angel moms here today.
02:28Anne lost her son.
02:30He was 15.
02:31He thought he was taking a Percocet at school, and it was laced with fentanyl.
02:37And he was beautiful.
02:41And I'm so sorry, but all of these people in this room, thanks to the directive of Donald
02:45Trump, are going to keep our streets safe and protect our kids.
02:52Thank you for being here.
03:00And Tammy's beautiful daughter Kayla was murdered violently by an illegal alien from El Salvador
03:07who should not have been in our country.
03:10And thanks to Donald Trump, they will all be deported very soon.
03:15Thanks to his work, Homeland Security, and I say the unsung hero, Stephen Miller.
03:26On stage, we have, this is 180 kilograms, it represents, not real, of fentanyl, okay?
03:34So this is one, this represents one kilo of fentanyl.
03:38In its pure form, this one kilo can kill half a million people.
03:45The 180 there, in pure form, could kill 90 million people.
03:54That is the population of California, Texas, and Florida.
03:58That's what we're dealing with in our country.
04:01That's why angel moms go around the country.
04:04That's why Donald Trump has taken such a hard stance against cartels securing our borders,
04:10getting these gangs and drugs out of our country.
04:14Look at that.
04:15That can kill three states in its pure form.
04:19That should terrify everyone.
04:23I see our senators made it.
04:25Our senators, thank you.
04:28However, taking the drugs off the streets is only half the battle.
04:35President Trump will, has, secured our borders and will continue to fight the cartels throughout
04:44this country, deport them all, or lock them up for the rest of our lives, thanks to our
04:51prosecutors around this country where they belong.
04:55Under the last administration, cartels, criminals, they freely walked in and out of our country
05:03with impunity, no longer.
05:06Under Donald Trump, they live in fear and they better live in fear because we're coming
05:10after all of them.
05:15I am so proud to have a team with Emil and Todd and all of our, all of our great team,
05:26and we all work for the greatest president in the history of our country.
05:30We are so proud to work at the directive of Donald Trump.
05:35It is, he will never stop fighting for us, and we will never stop fighting for him and
05:43for our country.
05:45It is an honor to welcome to the Department of Justice, the 45th and the 47th member of
05:54the United States.
