00:08Place your left hand on the Bible, all right, and raise your right hand.

00:14I do solemnly swear.

01:13Thank you so much President Trump.

01:16Thank you Pam Bondi.

01:17Thank you more importantly to every person in this room.

01:20There are so many people that I won't even

01:22try to start naming them.

01:24I would not be standing here today

01:26if it was not for the man to my right.

01:28As a person who's a first-generation American with parents that came in legally, I would

01:35like to say that I do not ever, ever take for granted that every dream that I ever could

01:41have imagined, I have surpassed because of this administration, because of President

01:45Trump.

01:46Four years ago, he entrusted faith in me as his personal attorney, and I have been on

01:51the journey of a lifetime every single day for that, but I have also been with him through

01:54some very dark days when I lost faith in our justice system, when I saw things that

01:59I never, ever thought I would ever see.

02:02And from being outside the courtroom steps, defending him and defending our great nation,

02:07I saw the most resilience I've ever seen in my life.

02:10This man kept fighting for America, and I am just so honored that now I get to fight

02:13for the state of New Jersey.

02:15I will do a good job, sir.

02:16I will clean it up, and we're going to make New Jersey great again.

02:18Thank you so much.
