Ep. 2173 - FALLOUT: Stock Market Drops, Trump Pushes On
If the result is our trading partners jack up their tariffs and we have high tariffs everywhere, I think that is a bad outcome for America. Tariffs are a tax on consumers, and I'm not a fan of jacking up taxes on American consumers. So my hope is these tariffs are short-lived and they serve as leverage to lower tariffs across the globe.

I'm trying to get a yes or no. I'm not trying to get a speech. Is there a difference between women and men?

Trump Drops The Hammer At Press Conference (Ep. 2389)
Mr. Chairman, I would like to enter into the record an article from Duke Law called Comparing Athletic Performances for the Best Elite Women to Boys and Men. And it goes through examining in 2017 the top records for women in the world. in various track and field events. So, for example, in the 100 meter, the top record for women in the world was 10.71 seconds.
The Dan Bongino Show

Now, that record for the number one woman in the world in 2017 was in the year 2017 broken by 124 boys under 18 In that same year, the record for the number one competing woman in the 100-meter dash in the world was broken by a total of 2,474 men. Yes. You get it? You get the theme?

Fox News in Complete Panic as Trump Screws Them
Listen, what President Trump and Elon Musk are doing is they are trying to rein in the out of control spending. And in terms of the constitution, there is a long history of presidents exercising a power called impoundment. As you know, I do a podcast every week called Verdict with Ted Cruz. Yesterday's podcast does a deep dive explaining what Trump and Elon are doing.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
Fox News in Complete Panic as Trump Screws Them
But you look at impoundment, Thomas Jefferson first exercised impoundment in 1801. And I think the Trump administration is teeing up a legal challenge to bring back impoundment, to turn around spending and debt. And that's a very good thing for American taxpayers.

I believe you. Look, I spent four years hearing from AUSAs, assistant U.S. 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've devoted their careers to defending the Constitution, there's a lot of gratitude

Attorney General Pam Bondi-Exclusive One-on-One LIVE Interview at CPAC
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.

Attorney General Pam Bondi-Exclusive One-on-One LIVE Interview at CPAC
And I think one of the most egregious examples we've seen over the last two years is the rising anti-Semitism on college campuses. The violent protesters and rioters, many of whom are not students, are not affiliated with the universities, and they are threatening students
Verdict with Ted Cruz
Attorney General Pam Bondi-Exclusive One-on-One LIVE Interview at CPAC
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.
Verdict with Ted Cruz
Attorney General Pam Bondi-Exclusive One-on-One LIVE Interview at CPAC
And they did not enforce Title VI 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 what will your approach be to anti-Semitism and threats of violence directed against Jewish students on campus or any other students on campus?

Verdict with Ted Cruz
Attorney General Pam Bondi-Exclusive One-on-One LIVE Interview at CPAC
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.
Verdict with Ted Cruz
Attorney General Pam Bondi-Exclusive One-on-One LIVE Interview at CPAC
And you'll find a tree down on the southern border with 10, 20 pairs of underwear as they're mocking law enforcement, saying we can do whatever we want. And for four years, the Biden Justice Department, they just they just turned a blind eye and they facilitated it. You know, you talked about the kids. So they had 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 in immigration before. which is single young men showing up with little kids.

Attorney General Pam Bondi-Exclusive One-on-One LIVE Interview at CPAC
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.
