NewsTranscript
00:00America's President Donald Trump is talking to the media right now.
00:30And they said, No, no, people that come into our country are all wonderful people.
00:34No, they're not wonderful.
00:35These are stone cold killers.
00:37These are killers like they make our killers look nice by comparison.
00:43They make our killers look nice.
00:44These are rough, tough people with the tattoos all over their face.
00:48Historically speaking, I don't want to discriminate against anybody.
00:51But historically speaking, they're not going to be the head of any major bank that we know
00:55of.
00:56These are rough people.
00:57These are rough, rough killer people, and they allowed them in by the millions.
01:02In major cities like New York, Chicago and Washington, mothers can't walk their children
01:07to the park without fear of being shot or killed or raped or anything.
01:14Women can't ride the subway without worrying that a hoodlum will shove them onto the train
01:19tracks in New York.
01:22It's happened twice in the last couple of weeks.
01:24You're standing there, a perfect Wall Street gentleman, in one case, and another person
01:29who was a worker, good worker, electrician, gets pushed into a train going 45 miles an
01:37hour just prior to the train, not stopping, going to go through that.
01:40I know the stations very well.
01:41I used to take the subway.
01:43I used to feel safe.
01:44When I was young, I'd go to my parents would drop me off at the subway and take the subway
01:48to my school.
01:49Can you believe it?
01:50Today, they wouldn't be doing that.
01:52So we want to back and we want to get a country back.
01:54Maybe we can do that again, Pam.
01:57But it's so sad to see what what's taking place under the Biden regime.
02:02Average monthly homicides increased by 14 percent.
02:06Property crime rose tremendously.
02:08Violent crime went up at least 37 percent that they know of.
02:11Rape soared by 42 percent.
02:13Car theft rose by 48 percent and robbery surged to 63 to 100 percent.
02:20They don't even know what the number is.
02:23And I have no higher mission as president of the United States than to end this killing
02:28and stop this lawbreaking and to making America safe again.
02:32And that's what you're all about in this room.
02:35We want to protect Americans and we protect everybody that's in our country, American
02:39or not American.
02:40We want to have a safe and proud country.
02:43We're joined today by dozens of police officers, sheriffs and sheriffs, deputies from all across
02:48the country.
02:50My message to these law enforcement heroes is simple.
02:53With me in the White House, you once again have a president who will always have your
02:57back, will always have your back.
03:06That's a lot of good looking people, I will tell you.
03:15I feel safe.
03:16I'm glad you're in the room.
03:17I feel even safer.
03:19It's a lot of great people.
03:21On day one, I signed an executive order directing Attorney General to ensure that anyone who
03:26murders a police officer immediately with as fast a trial as we could have gets the
03:33death penalty.
03:43And last month, I fired all the radical left pro crime U.S. attorneys appointed by Joe
03:48Biden.
03:49There was so many that were bad.
03:50And I know that there was some that were probably very good, but there was so many that was
03:55so bad and so evil, so corrupt.
03:58Instead of having Marxist prosecutors who want to put police officers in handcuffs and
04:03go after a police officer rather than a criminal, I appointed patriotic tough on crime warriors
04:09who will partner with police to put dangerous offenders behind bars, put them in jail.
04:15We're fully reviving 1033 program to provide state and local law enforcement with surplus
04:22military equipment that we have so much of it.
04:24I did it in my last administration.
04:26And I remember Obama wouldn't do it.
04:28He wouldn't do it before me would not do it because he thought it made them look too strong
04:33to military.
04:34I said, no, that's what I wanted to look like.
04:36I want them to look strong.
04:38And it was protective, defensive equipment.
04:40We had billions of dollars.
04:42I gave it out.
04:43And now I'm going to have a chance to give it out again.
04:45They didn't want to do it with Biden.
04:47And Biden didn't know why I didn't.
04:49They would have asked him.
04:50He wouldn't have been able to answer the question.
04:52He could never answer a question.
04:53They said my press conference yesterday was longer than all of Biden's press conferences
04:57put together for the last four years.
05:00And I don't know if that's true, but it was close.
05:05And perhaps most importantly, we're securing our border and repelling the invasion of America.
05:10We have you see the numbers have come down.
05:14So and Tom Holman and Christie were have been incredible.
05:18Christie, no secretary.
05:20She's done great.
05:21And Tom Holman is.
05:22I don't know if Tom Holman is here, but wherever he may be, I think he's chasing people out
05:27of our country.
05:28If he was here, I'd almost be disappointed.
05:30What are you doing, Tom?
05:32But he's a fantastic guy.
05:33He's a brave guy.
05:34Over the past four years, other countries emptied out their prisons and jails, mental
05:39institutions and insane asylums and sent the killers, drug smugglers and bloodthirsty
05:45inmates from the filthiest dungeons of the world straight into the USA and open border.
05:51We had an open border policy.
05:53Anybody could come in no matter what you were, no matter where you came from, no matter what
05:56you look like, no matter what you were doing, no matter what you did, no matter how many
06:01people you murdered, you could come right into our country.
06:04We have murderers right now walking the streets.
06:08We're joined today by Tammy Nobles, whose 20 year old daughter Kayla was attacked in
06:13her home three years ago, horrifically assaulted and strangled to death by an illegal alien
06:19MS-13 monster set loose into our country under the open border Biden regime.
06:26Kayla was one of countless American victims ripped away from their families by the open
06:31border policies of that administration.
06:33And we're also joined by Kayla's stepfather, Jeremiah, and several other courageous angel
06:39families here today.
06:40And I'd love you to all just stand up and take a bow because you are incredible people.
06:46Please.
07:09But I want you to know that we are working every day to expel these savages from our
07:13country and ensure that what happened to your loved ones will never happen again.
07:18So their legacy is going to be a great one.
07:20Thank you all very much.
07:21We appreciate it.
07:23On day one of my administration, I declared a national emergency on our southern border.
07:28Our first full month in office, we achieved the lowest level of illegal border crossings
07:32ever recorded.
07:34Okay?
07:35Even lower than four years ago.
07:42For years, Democrats and the media kept saying that we needed new legislation.
07:46We had to have new legislation.
07:48We needed it immediately.
07:49And I'd never had legislation, and I had the best border in the history of our country
07:53for almost four years.
07:56And by the time I got out, we had the lowest numbers ever.
07:59My favorite chart of all time was brought down that day.
08:02And on that chart said we had the lowest numbers ever.
08:05But it turned out that we really didn't need new legislation.
08:10All you needed was a new president.
08:18And I said that, I said that the other night.
08:22That's all you needed was a new president saying close the borders because the Border
08:26Patrol is unbelievable.
08:27ICE is unbelievable.
08:29And all of our law enforcement is just incredible.
08:32All of you guys are amazing.
08:34And the people of our country respect you and they love you.
08:37And a lot of times you don't hear that because you have to listen to the fake news back there.
08:41But they have great respect for you.
08:44So I just want you to know that.
08:45And you know, that includes our fire departments, too.
08:48They don't get spoken about enough.
08:50You know, they go into some of the areas I read where they're shooting them off ladders.
08:54Can you believe it?
08:55They go up to put out a fire, Leo, and they go and they shoot him off a ladder.
09:01It's just unbelievable.
09:02These firemen and women are incredible.
09:04So I want to put them in the same category because they're just incredible.
09:07I also like that the fact they voted for me like at 94 percent.
09:11So I have to mention them.
09:12I have no choice.
09:13Right.
09:14But the truth is, they're phenomenal people.
09:16The law enforcement, fire, everybody.
09:18They're phenomenal.
09:20They're basically first responders because that's what they are, their first responders.
09:24And we're ending the migrant occupation of America.
09:27And what we're doing now is we're liberating our cities and our suburbs and our towns.
09:31And you see a big difference.
09:32I'm getting calls all the time from even leaders of other countries saying, sir, the whole
09:37world feels liberated now.
09:40It feels like there's a light over America, but there's a light over the whole world.
09:43I hear that so much.
09:45It's so nice to hear, too.
09:46And I feel it.
09:47I mean, I feel it.
09:48I look at I see the polls.
09:50I don't know if the polls are right, but they're certainly very good.
09:52I'll take them right now.
09:54It's amazing, amazing what's what's taken place in such a short period of time, really
09:59six weeks.
10:00But it's longer than that.
10:01It's really November 5th.
10:02I think that hopefully will go down.
10:04If you do your job great upgrade, it'll go down as the most important day.
10:08One of them, at least in the history of our country, you know, July 4th was pretty 1776.
10:14It was pretty important, too.
10:16But let's see if we can top it.
10:17Can we top it?
10:18Yeah, that's a tough one.
10:19But we're going to try.
10:20But it will be one of the most important days in the history of our country.
10:24So I think and I think everybody in this room wants it to happen.
10:28Last month, we officially designated MS-13 and Tren de Aragua.
10:34That's the Venezuelan gang, the toughest gang, they say, in the world and the Mexican drug
10:38cartels as foreign terrorist organizations.
10:41That's a big deal.
10:42Nobody wanted to do that.
10:43And by the way, we've caught hundreds of them, the Venezuelan gang, which is as bad
10:57as it gets.
10:58And you'll be reading a lot of stories tomorrow about what we've done with them.
11:01And you'll be very impressed.
11:02And you'll feel a lot safer, too, because they are a vicious group.
11:05They went into Colorado.
11:07They took over areas of Colorado.
11:10They sort of were like me.
11:11They were in the real estate business.
11:14But they didn't go out and get financing.
11:15They just took over a building and kept it.
11:18And they said to the tenants, get the hell out of here.
11:20One man called the police and they cut off his fingers.
11:24And they say, you call again, your other fingers, and you call a third time and you're dead.
11:28These are tough people and bad people, and we're getting them out of our country.
11:32And some are so bad, we don't want to get them out.
11:34We have to put them in jail because we don't want to even take a chance that they can come
11:38back.
11:39Thanks to our efforts, Mexico recently handed over 29 of the biggest cartel leaders, including
11:44the depraved Kingpin charge, with the 1985 murder of DE agent Kiki Camerana.
11:52And that was a big deal.
11:53If you know, they've been looking for this person for years, many years, and we got him.
11:58This evil killer will be now prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
12:04And we know that, well, it's let's put it this way.
12:08I have to be nice.
12:09It's a very strong case.
12:11We're stopping the criminals pouring across our borders at record levels, and we're also
12:15stopping the massive quantities of deadly drugs in 2023 alone.
12:21Drug overdoses killed more Americans in 12 months than they did during the entire decade
12:26between 1980 and 1990.
12:28So 10 times more, but it's much higher than that.
12:31More Americans died from fentanyl last year than died in the Korean War, the Iraq War,
12:37the Afghanistan War, all of them combined.
12:40That's why I place large tariffs on Mexico, Canada and China, and they will remain in
12:45place until these deadly poisons stop pouring into our country.
12:49And I will tell you, as soon as I put on the tariffs on Mexico, Canada and China, unbelievable
12:56results have been seen in the last few weeks.
12:59Unbelievable results.
13:00They weren't happy about it.
13:01You probably read they weren't happy, but they are working like hell to end it.
13:05They weren't working very hard before I did that.
13:09With us today is a brave mother and advocate, Anne Fundner, who lost her beautiful 15-year-old
13:15son Weston to fentanyl.
13:18And Anne, if you would, I'd like to ask you to come up and say a few words, please.
13:23Thank you very much.
13:39Thank you, darling.
13:48Well, first, I want to say thank you.
13:51I think this is the biggest honor of my entire life, being on stage with President Trump.
13:55But I want to tell you a little bit about my son Weston, who absolutely loved President
14:02Trump.
14:03He had a beautiful Trump 2020 flag hanging in his bedroom, and he had it on the beach
14:11one day, and we took a picture, and it became our 2020 Christmas card with the most perfect
14:16slogan for President Trump, peace on earth.
14:20What would happen in the next four years would be devastational to our country and
14:25our safety of our children.
14:27And in 2022, Weston lost his life, a freshman in high school at the age of 15, from a single
14:35pill that took his life.
14:39The cartels were allowed to operate on American soil and took hundreds of thousands of American
14:46lives.
14:47And so we knew there was only one person that could save us from the devastation on our
14:55American soil, and that was President Trump.
14:59And so in 2024, we did the best thing that we could do to keep America safe again, and
15:05we elected President Donald J. Trump.
15:16And he's done everything that he has promised.
15:24We have a 98% decrease in border crossings, and he has labeled the terrorist cartels terrorist
15:34organizations, and he has instilled tariffs, because there is no price on human life.
15:42And so I feel like I can speak for the entire fentanyl fighting community when I say thank
15:48you to President Trump, and thank you to Pam Bondi and everyone out here who is fighting
15:54this fight.
15:55God bless you.
15:56God bless you, President Trump.
15:57God bless America.
15:58Thanks.
16:20Thank you, Ann, very much.
16:21Weston is, as you said to Ann, Weston is up in heaven watching his mom, and he's so proud
16:28of you.
16:29He's so proud of you.
16:32We're also joined today by a number of other American families who have lost loved ones
16:36to fentanyl, and I'd love you to just stand up for a second, and we want to acknowledge
16:41you.
16:42And also, your daughters, your sons, they're looking down on you, and they're loving you
16:48like crazy.
16:50So thank you very much.
17:03This department will not rest until we have ended the fentanyl epidemic in America once
17:08and for all.
17:09In less than two months since I took office, the DEA and FBI have seized nearly one million
17:14deadly doses of fentanyl, and that's just the beginning.
17:22My direction in working with Pam and everybody else, we've launched an all-out war on fentanyl
17:28traffickers, and it's a war that we're going to win.
17:31We're going to win this war.
17:32I spoke with the president of Mexico, very nice woman, very fine woman, and I said, let
17:39me ask you, you're sending a lot of drugs into our country.
17:41We're not liking it at all.
17:43Can't do that.
17:44But I said, is Mexico, does it have much of a drug?
17:47She said, no, we're not a consuming nation.
17:49I thought it was an interesting term.
17:52And I said, why?
17:54And which I've heard also, by the way, they're not a consuming nation.
17:58They distribute, but they don't consume.
18:01But I said, why are you not a consumer?
18:02Well, we're very close to a family.
18:04I said, so we're very close with family too.
18:06I mean, our families are being devastated and we're just as close.
18:09Why else?
18:10She said, well, we spend a lot of money on advertising saying how bad drugs are.
18:14They're very rough ads.
18:15They show the skin falling off and the teeth falling out and going blind and losing hair
18:23and everything that these things do that you look like you just came out of a horrible
18:28concentration camp.
18:29And she said it was, they're rough ads.
18:34And it's not often that I feel I've learned something from a phone call because I've had
18:40a lot of phone calls all my life.
18:42But I realized right then and there, what a great idea that is.
18:46And we have hired Susie, a great person who did a lot of our campaign work.
18:53And we've come up with an advertising campaign that's, I think, really incredible.
18:58More than anything else, it's it's terrible to watch.
19:02Terrible to watch.
19:03It's the only way it's going to work.
19:05And I would be because we got the numbers down, 18 percent would have a blue ribbon
19:09committee headed by the first lady of the United States, who everyone loves.
19:13And some of her friends, you know, said they worked so hard, but it was it's a tough it's
19:20a tough deal.
19:21They're dealing with very smart and very vicious people.
19:25You know, some of those businesses, those cartels are run better than any business in
19:28America.
19:29They say they're run incredible, not just they all over the world.
19:32They run like a major business, but in many cases better.
19:37And I said, we got it 18 percent down.
19:40Well, 18 percent is incredible.
19:41It's like a record.
19:42But when you think of it, it's not very much.
19:46And the way you get it down, if you want to get it down to close to 100 percent is with
19:49the death penalty.
19:50But I think maybe America is not ready for that.
19:53China has a death penalty.
19:54Singapore has a death penalty.
19:56Various places have the death penalty.
19:57Wherever you have the death penalty, you don't have drugs.
19:59But I just don't know if this country is ready for it.
20:03So I tell people and it's always an option.
20:05But I don't know.
20:06I just don't know if you're ready for it.
20:08And that's OK.
20:09It's nothing you can do.
20:11But what we're going to do is we're doing this campaign and I think we can get it down
20:1650 50 percent with this campaign, because when people see all the horrible things that
20:20these drugs do to you, we're especially focused on fentanyl when they see all of the horrible
20:27things that happen when you take drugs, how you look, you lose your look.
20:31Everyone's vain.
20:32They don't want to lose their look.
20:33The look is so important.
20:35And I think when they see these things, they may say, you know what, I'm going to take
20:39a pass.
20:41But there is big danger.
20:42Pam and I were talking about it before.
20:43A lot of people are taking fentanyl and not even knowing they think they're doing something
20:47else or maybe taking another drug, but at a much lower level.
20:52And they die.
20:54You can put on the pin.
20:56Think of this, the head of a pin, fentanyl, and it's too much and it will kill the strongest
21:01person in the room.
21:03And it's amazing.
21:05But we're going to do this campaign.
21:07It's going to be launched fairly soon, Susie.
21:10And I think it's going to have a big impact, a big impact.
21:12I think if we got it down by another 30, 35 points, I really believe we can.
21:18I think that's an incredible idea.
21:20So I think the president of Mexico actually it was a it was a call on tariffs and we talked
21:25about drugs and she gave me an idea that I think will be very successful.
21:30And based on what I saw, it's going to be amazing under our leadership.
21:34This department is once again laser focused on protecting the American people.
21:39We're defending our borders, our streets, our children, and our good really God given.
21:44This is God given rights and liberties once and for all.
21:48We're going to defend our country and we're going to defend our rights etched onto the
21:53walls of this building.
21:54The words English philosopher John Locke said, where law ends, tyranny begins.
22:01And I see that.
22:02And I saw it over the last four years when somebody was allowed to attack viciously with
22:07this department and the FBI, his political opponent.
22:11How did that work out?
22:12Didn't work out too well, but it wasn't pleasant, wasn't pleasant.
22:16I was attacked by a political opponent and probably it helped that I was attacked more
22:22than anybody in the history of our country.
22:24Alphonse Capone, the great Alphonse Capone, legendary Scarface was attacked.
22:30Only a tiny fraction of what Trump was attacked and maybe it worked out well.
22:35I don't know if I had to give it up.
22:36I probably wouldn't, but only because I've gone through it.
22:40But I wonder what the difference would be.
22:42Maybe they helped get me elected by those margins, the big margins, the big mandate
22:46that we received.
22:47But you can't go after your political opponent.
22:50Nobody's ever seen anything like it, actually.
22:53And hopefully they won't see anything like it.
22:55But now, with the return of law and order, the entire world is witnessing the triumph
23:00of American justice and American freedom.
23:02That's why we're here today, gathered with people that have love for our country.
23:07In the coming years, we will revive the storied legacy of this department.
23:12It's happening right now.
23:13I can feel it and rekindle the spirit of the great lawman and League of Lions of the past.
23:21Americans like Wyatt Earp, Elliott Ness, Frank Hammer, Rudy Giuliani, Rudy Giuliani had to
23:26suffer greatly, greatly as the greatest mayor in the history of our country had to suffer
23:31greatly.
23:32Ed Meese, Antonin Scalia, Robert Jackson and Robert F. Kennedy.
23:39We will rebuild pride in our institutions.
23:42We will restore the prestige of this great department and we will bring back faith in
23:47our justice system for the citizens of every race, religion, color and creed.
23:53And I want to just tell you that this has been a great honor.
23:56I was asked to do it and I said, is it appropriate that I do it?
24:02And then I realized it's not only appropriate, I think it's really important and I may never
24:08do it again.
24:09I may never have another chance to do it again because this is something that I'm leaving
24:13to the greatest people I know, the best people, the smartest people, the toughest people I
24:18know.
24:19And they're going to do an incredible job.
24:21And it's an honor for me to have won this election so that I can appoint these people
24:25to do their job and they're going to do it like you have never seen.
