00:01:40>> ALL RIGHT, GOOD AFTERNOON,
00:01:45EVERYBODY. >> SO BEFORE BEFORE TAKING QUESTIONS, I THOUGHT IT MADE
00:01:48SENSE TO, SINCE IT IS ME HERE,
00:01:50THE ATTORNEY GENERAL, TO JUST SPEND A FEW MINUTES TALKING
00:01:54ABOUT THE WORK THAT WE'RE DOING. UM, AT THE DEPARTMENT OF
00:01:57JUSTICE. THE FIRST THING I'M GOING TO TALK ABOUT IS
00:02:01TERRORISM. SINCE PRESIDENT TRUMP
00:02:02RETURNED TO OFFICE, FBI DATA
00:02:05SHOWS 4260 ARRESTS RELATED TO
00:02:11FTOS, INCLUDING 1039 INDIVIDUALS
00:02:15PREVENTED FROM CARRYING OUT ALLEGED TERRORIST ATTACKS.
00:02:19THAT'S 38% INCREASE FROM THE
00:02:21LAST ADMINISTRATION. I WANT TO TALK ABOUT SOME RECENT CASES. AN
00:02:25ISIS, BUTLER COUNTY, PA, BUTLER
00:02:28COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA, TERRORISM
00:02:29ARRESTS THAT JUST TOOK PLACE
00:02:33THIS MORNING. OUT OF OUR PITTSBURGH OFFICE. A 21 YEAR OLD
00:02:36MAN, JONATHAN KRAMER, WAS CHARGED AND ARRESTED FOR
00:02:39RECEIVING A FIREARM AND AMMUNITION WITH INTENT TO COMMIT
00:02:43TERRORISM ON BEHALF OF ISIS. HE WAS ARRESTED. THE INVESTIGATION
00:02:46IS ONGOING, AND THERE'LL BE
00:02:47MORE FROM THAT IN THE FUTURE.
00:02:51JUST TODAY, IN THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, AN
00:02:55INDICTMENT WAS RETURNED THAT CHARGING MULTIPLE RUSSIAN
00:02:59INDIVIDUALS THAT SINCE 2020, FOR
00:03:00THESE INDIVIDUALS WHO WORKED FOR
00:03:04THE SERVICES OF THE RUSSIAN INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY, WERE
00:03:07CHARGED WITH FINANCING TERRORISM
00:03:09AND CONSPIRING TO COMMIT MURDER
00:03:12FOR HIRE AROUND THE WORLD, INCLUDING EFFORTS TO TO TO
00:03:16MURDER A RUSSIAN DISSIDENT WHO
00:03:19THEY BELIEVE WAS LOCATED IN THE
00:03:21WASHINGTON, D.C. AREA. I WANT TO
00:03:25TALK NEXT ABOUT THE GREAT WORK THAT WE'RE DOING. AND PRESIDENT TRUMP TALKS ABOUT IT ALL THE
00:03:27TIME, BUT IT'S NEVER IT'S NEVER
00:03:30TOO MUCH. AND REDUCING CRIME IN THIS COUNTRY UNDER PRESIDENT
00:03:34TRUMP'S LEADERSHIP, CRIME IS
00:03:36THE LOWEST IT HAS BEEN IN MODERN
00:03:39HISTORY. IN 2025, MURDER RATES
00:03:41WERE DOWN NEARLY 20%, VIOLENT
00:03:46CRIME WAS DOWN NEARLY 10%. DOJ IS FEDERAL LAW PARTNERS. OUR
00:03:49STATE AND LOCAL PARTNERS. WE'RE
00:03:54WORKING TOGETHER AND COORDINATING AS NEVER SEEN BEFORE. AND THAT'S WHY YOU SEE
00:03:57THE RESULTS THAT YOU'RE SEEING
00:04:00TO MAKE AMERICA SAFE. UM, ANOTHER, ANOTHER POINT TO TALK
00:04:03ABOUT IS, IS THE WORK THAT WE'VE
00:04:05DONE IN MEMPHIS TODAY IS, IS THE
00:04:09ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF US SIGNING THE, THE MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING WITH MEMPHIS TO DO
00:04:12THE GREAT WORK THAT WE'VE DONE
00:04:13OVER THE PAST YEAR. UM, NEARLY
00:04:1813,000 ARRESTS IN THE MEMPHIS
00:04:18AREA, MORE THAN 2000 ILLEGAL
00:04:22FIREARMS SEIZED, AND NEARLY 1500
00:04:23KNOWN GANG MEMBERS ARRESTED OVER
00:04:26THE PAST YEAR. WE ALSO LOCATED
00:04:27MORE THAN 200 MISSING CHILDREN.
00:04:32SAINT LOUIS, OVER THE PAST FOUR
00:04:35WEEKS. OUR HSF PLATFORM HAS BEEN
00:04:40EXTRAORDINARILY SUCCESSFUL, ARRESTING OVER 250 VIOLENT
00:04:43CRIMINALS, MANY WITH OUTSTANDING WARRANTS AND EXTENSIVE CRIMINAL
00:04:46HISTORY. AND THEY'VE TAKEN OVER 100 ILLEGAL FIREARMS OFF THE
00:04:49STREETS. THAT'S JUST IN THE
00:04:50PAST FOUR WEEKS. UM, AND TODAY,
00:04:54YOU MAY HAVE HEARD DIRECTOR
00:04:57PATEL ANNOUNCE THAT THE FBI HAS ARRESTED TEN OUT OF TEN OF THE
00:05:01CRIMINALS ON THE FBI'S TEN MOST
00:05:03WANTED LIST IN THE FIRST 18 MONTHS OF THE ADMINISTRATION.
00:05:06WE'VE TALKED A LOT ABOUT FRAUD.
00:05:09UM, YESTERDAY WE WERE I WAS IN I
00:05:12WAS IN MISSOURI WITH THE VICE
00:05:15PRESIDENT, TALKING ABOUT A COVID FRAUD TAKEDOWN THAT WE'VE BEEN
00:05:18WORKING ON IN MISSOURI AND THE NEIGHBORING STATES. THIS SURGE
00:05:22RESULTED IN FRAUD ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS SPANNING OVER 160
00:05:25CRIMINAL DEFENDANTS, AND
00:05:32INVOLVED APPROXIMATELY $245 MILLION IN INTENDED LOSS. AND AGAIN, THIS WAS AN EFFORT JUST
00:05:34BETWEEN JUNE MID JUNE AND SEPTEMBER 1st OF THIS YEAR. UM
00:05:38WE WORKED WITH THE SMALL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION AND
00:05:41THEIR OFFICE OF INSPECTOR GENERAL OR THE FBI. OUR FEDERAL
00:05:45PROSECUTORS, AND 40 U.S. ATTORNEY'S OFFICES TO OBTAIN,
00:05:49OBTAIN THESE, THESE CHARGES BETWEEN NEWLY CHARGED
00:05:52DEFENDANTS, APPROXIMATELY 43 DEFENDANTS HAVE ALREADY PLEADED
00:05:56GUILTY TO SBA RELATED COVID
00:05:58FRAUD. UM, WITH WITH NEARLY $50
00:06:00MILLION IN INTENDED LOSS. AND ONE MORE, ONE MORE HIGHLIGHT ON
00:06:04FRAUD. THIS IS JUST TODAY, OUR
00:06:07GREAT U.S. ATTORNEY IN THE
00:06:09SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA, ADAM GORDON, JUST HELD A PRESS
00:06:13CONFERENCE AND ANNOUNCED JUST ABOUT AN HOUR AGO THAT THERE
00:06:15WERE 12 DAYCARE FRAUDSTERS WHO WERE ARRESTED THIS MORNING FOR
00:06:18FUNNELING MORE THAN $10 MILLION
00:06:24INTENDED TO HELP LOW INCOME FAMILIES PAY FOR CHILDCARE TO, TO, TO WHAT? WE'RE REALLY JUST
00:06:27COMPLETELY BOGUS DAYCARE FACILITIES. NOW, ALL 12 OF THESE
00:06:31INDIVIDUALS WERE NATURALIZED CITIZENS FROM SYRIA,
00:06:35AFGHANISTAN, SUDAN, IRAQ, AND
00:06:39SOMALIA. WHEN IT COMES TO UNLAWFUL VOTING, WHICH I EXPECT
00:06:43THERE MAY BE A QUESTION ABOUT IN A MOMENT, THE DOJ AND DHS ARE
00:06:45WORKING TOGETHER TO PRIORITIZE
00:06:48UNLAWFUL VOTING IN OUR ELECTIONS. ELECTION INTEGRITY
00:06:52SHOULD NOT BE A PARTISAN ISSUE. THOSE WHO ARE NOT LEGALLY
00:06:54ALLOWED TO VOTE SHOULDN'T. AND IF YOU KNOWINGLY BREAK THE LAW,
00:06:58YOU WILL BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. IN JUST THE PAST TEN DAYS, THE
00:07:02DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE HAS
00:07:04ANNOUNCED CHARGES AGAINST 11 INDIVIDUALS FOR ILLEGALLY
00:07:07VOTING. IN 2024 AND 2022, OR
00:07:11FRAUDULENTLY REGISTERING, FRAUDULENTLY REGISTERING TO VOTE. WHAT WE ARE SEEING IS
00:07:15ILLEGAL ALIENS VOTING, NON-CITIZENS WHO ARE NOT
00:07:19ELIGIBLE TO VOTE VOTING, OR THOSE FRAUDULENTLY REGISTERING TO VOTERS WHO ARE NOT ELIGIBLE
00:07:23TO VOTE. SO JUST TO PUT A FINER
00:07:27POINT ON THIS, IN UNDER TWO YEARS, THIS ADMINISTRATION HAS
00:07:30CHARGED NEARLY FOUR TIMES AS
00:07:32MANY NON-CITIZEN VOTING CASES AS
00:07:34THE LAST ADMINISTRATION BROUGHT
00:07:37IN FOUR YEARS. AND WE'RE CURRENTLY INVESTIGATING HUNDREDS
00:07:41OF CASES ACROSS THE COUNTRY. AND OUR, UM, OUR GREAT U.S.
00:07:44ATTORNEY, RYAN RAYBOULD, AND THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS WILL
00:07:47BE ANNOUNCING A BIG DEVELOPMENT
00:07:49ON THIS TOPIC IN ABOUT AN HOUR
00:07:53OR SO, SHORTLY AFTER, UM, THIS
00:07:55BRIEFING. SO WITH, WITH THAT, I
00:07:57WILL, UM, TAKE QUESTIONS IF
00:08:00THERE ARE ANY. AND I KNOW IT'S A DIFFERENT ENVIRONMENT THAN
00:08:04BEFORE. I NOTICED YOU GUYS ARE SWEATING, WHICH IS NICE. I LOVE
00:08:07TO SEE THAT. UM, WE'LL START,
00:08:09WE'LL, WE'LL START OUT WITH,
00:08:12UM, CAROLINE DOWNEY FROM THE NATIONAL. THEY GIVE YOU A LIST,
00:08:15GUYS, EVERYBODY CALM DOWN. UM, CAROLINE DOWNEY FROM THE
00:08:18NATIONAL REVIEW
00:08:21>> SO MUCH
00:08:23>> OH, SORRY. DOES THE SUPREME COURT'S RULING ON THE MAIL IN
00:08:26BALLOT EXECUTIVE ORDER PRESENT
00:08:30AN OBSTACLE TO FUTURE BALLOT FRAUD? PROSECUTION, IN YOUR
00:08:31VIEW? AND AS WE LOOK TO 2028, DO
00:08:34YOU FORESEE A FUTURE LEGAL BATTLE FOR THE POSTAL SERVICE WHEN IT COMES TO PREVENTING
00:08:37NON-CITIZENS FROM VOTING?
00:08:41>> THE SUPREME COURT'S DECISION TODAY OR YESTERDAY DOESN'T
00:08:45AFFECT ONGOING CRIMINAL INVESTIGATIONS INTO ILLEGAL VOTING? NO. I MEAN, LOOK, I
00:08:48THINK THE WE, PRESIDENT TRUMP,
00:08:51THERE'S NOTHING. THERE SHOULD BE NOTHING SURPRISING ABOUT WHAT
00:08:54WE'RE TRYING TO DO WHEN IT COMES TO MAIL IN VOTING, WHICH IS WE WANT
00:08:57>> WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE
00:08:59IS SAFE VOTING, AND THAT THERE
00:09:02IS INTEGRITY, FREE AND FAIR ELECTIONS, AND THAT THERE IS ONE PERSON PLACING ONE VOTE, AND
00:09:06THAT THAT PERSON IS ELIGIBLE TO
00:09:08VOTE. AND SO WE'RE. YOU SAW,
00:09:12UM, PART OF THE DECISION WAS THE TIMING AND THAT, THAT, THAT WE RAN OUT OF TIME BECAUSE, BECAUSE
00:09:16OF THE LITIGATION, IN PART. AND
00:09:18SO OUR EFFORTS TO. AND PRESIDENT TRUMP'S EFFORTS TO MAKE SURE
00:09:21THAT WE HAVE FREE AND FAIR ELECTIONS ARE NOT GOING TO STOP,
00:09:24UM, JUST IN NOVEMBER OR AFTER OR THEREAFTER. SO I EXPECT YOU'RE
00:09:27GOING TO SEE THAT WORK CONTINUE.
00:09:30UM, MARY MARGARET.
00:09:38>> HELLO. THANK YOU SIR. I HAD TWO QUESTIONS FOR YOU, IF
00:09:41THAT'S OKAY. UM, THE FIRST TOM HOMAN SAID ON SUNDAY THAT
00:09:44HOMELAND SECURITY INVESTIGATIONS IS ACTIVELY INVESTIGATING ILHAN
00:09:48OMAR. IF SHE'S FOUND A COMMITTED IMMIGRATION FRAUD WITH THE TRUMP
00:09:52ADMINISTRATION, DEPORT HER, AND
00:09:52THEN SECOND QUESTION IS, UH,
00:09:56THERE'S CONCERN AMONG THE MAGA BASE THAT THERE'S A LOT OF
00:10:00IDEOLOGICAL ACTORS IN THE FBI AND DOJ STILL THAT ARE WAITING
00:10:03OUT PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP. AND THE NEXT POSSIBLE REPUBLICAN ADMINISTRATION TO GET BACK TO
00:10:06DOING WHAT THEY WERE BEFORE. ARE YOU CONCERNED ABOUT THAT? AND
00:10:10WHAT ARE YOU DOING ABOUT THAT? >> SO ON THE FIRST, I'M NOT
00:10:14TALKING ABOUT ONGOING CRIMINAL INVESTIGATIONS. AND SO I'M NOT I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO SAY
00:10:17ABOUT YOUR FIRST QUESTION OR ANYBODY THAT'S. OR PUBLIC
00:10:21REPORTING ABOUT WHAT OTHERS HAVE SAID ABOUT ONGOING
00:10:23INVESTIGATIONS. UM, IDEOLOGICAL, UM, ANY IDEOLOGY THAT ANY
00:10:27FEDERAL EMPLOYEE HAS, WHETHER IT'S A FEDERAL AGENT OR
00:10:31SOMEBODY, A DEPARTMENT OF
00:10:31JUSTICE OR ANY OTHER AGENCY THAT
00:10:35WORKS IN THIS ADMINISTRATION. AND THE EXECUTIVE IS NEVER, IS
00:10:38NEVER A GOOD THING, WHETHER IT'S REPUBLICAN OR DEMOCRAT.
00:10:41AND SO I'M NOT SURE EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE REFERRING TO,
00:10:45EXCEPT FOR JUST GENERALLY. BUT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT DIRECTOR PATEL HAS BEEN DOING, AND THAT
00:10:48THAT I'VE BEEN DOING, AND OTHER CABINET SECRETARIES HAVE BEEN
00:10:51DOING, IS MAKING SURE THAT
00:10:55EVERYBODY THAT WORKS IN THIS ADMINISTRATION, WHETHER YOU'RE A CAREER OR A POLITICAL, ARE DOING
00:10:58WORK THAT'S CONSISTENT WITH THE PRESIDENT'S AGENDA. AND THAT'S
00:11:02WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO IF YOU'RE GOING TO WORK IN THE EXECUTIVE. THAT'S WHAT ARTICLE TWO SAYS.
00:11:05AND SO, UM, I DON'T IT'S NOT
00:11:07SOMETHING THAT I, QUOTE, WORRY ABOUT, UNQUOTE. BUT WHEN WE, AND
00:11:11IF WE LEARN ABOUT THAT HAPPENING, WE'LL DO WHATEVER WE
00:11:13CAN TO, TO STOP IT YOU SORRY,
00:11:19YOU HAVE TO USE MICROPHONES. IT GIVES ME A CHANCE TO CATCH MY BREATH. NO WORRIES. GOOD.
00:11:23>> THANK YOU FOR JOINING US. UM, TWO THINGS I WANT TO CLARIFY.
00:11:26YOU SAID PROSECUTIONS OF
00:11:29POTENTIAL ELECTION FRAUD ARE
00:11:30GOING TO
00:11:37CONTINUE DESPITE THE COURT RULING. BUT DOES THE JUSTICE
00:11:39DEPARTMENT PLAN TO.
00:11:50YOU AGREE WITH THE PRESIDENT AND WHAT HE SAID ABOUT HIS THREE SUPREME COURT NOMINEES THAT THEY, QUOTE, ARE NOT THE PEOPLE
00:11:53I INTERVIEWED TO SERVE ON THE
00:11:56UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT. THEY ARE MERELY A SHELL OF THEIR ORIGINAL SELVES.
00:11:59>> SO, OF COURSE, WE'RE GOING TO
00:12:02COMPLY WITH THE SUPREME COURT'S DECISION, AS WE ALWAYS DO. THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT WE'RE NOT
00:12:06GOING TO DO EVERYTHING IN THIS ADMINISTRATION THAT WE CAN TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE ARE FREE
00:12:10AND FAIR ELECTIONS. AND AGAIN,
00:12:13THERE'S THIS, THERE'S THIS,
00:12:15UM, CONSTANT PRESSURE AND THIS, THIS EFFORT BY THE MEDIA AND BY,
00:12:19MOSTLY BY DEMOCRATS, THAT SOMEHOW DOING THAT IS A BAD
00:12:23THING. EVERYBODY SHOULD WANT THAT. THE REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS SHOULD WANT FREE AND
00:12:26FAIR ELECTIONS. SO, SO WHILE, WHILE THE SUPREME COURT DID WHAT
00:12:29IT DID, WE'RE NOT GOING TO STOP THE WORK THAT WE'RE DOING. BUT WE ARE, OF COURSE, GOING TO
00:12:33GOING TO FOLLOW THE, THE ORDERS OF THE COURT. AS FAR AS
00:12:37PRESIDENT TRUMP'S, UM, TRUTH
00:12:39ABOUT, ABOUT THE JUSTICES, HE IS VERY FRUSTRATED. AND I WASN'T AT
00:12:43THE INTERVIEWS THAT HE. >> THAT HE PARTICIPATED IN
00:12:47DURING THE LAST ADMINISTRATION. WHEN HE SELECTED THESE THESE
00:12:51FOLKS TO BE ON THE SUPREME COURT. HE HAS EVERY RIGHT, AND
00:12:54INDEED, HE SHOULD COMMUNICATE
00:12:58HIS CONCERNS WITH THE SUPREME COURT WHENEVER HE HAS THEM. THIS ISN'T THE FIRST TIME THAT HE'S
00:13:01DONE IT, AND IT WON'T BE THE LAST. HE'S ALSO PUBLICLY VERY
00:13:04APPRECIATIVE OF THE SUPREME COURT WHEN WHEN THERE'S
00:13:07DECISIONS THAT HE VERY MUCH AGREES WITH. THAT'S WHAT A DEMOCRACY IS ABOUT. A DEMOCRACY
00:13:11IS ABOUT THREE BRANCHES OF GOVERNMENT. AND PRESIDENT TRUMP
00:13:14BEING CRITICAL OF, OF, OF FOLKS ON THE SUPREME COURT. WE VERY
00:13:18MUCH DISAGREE WITH THE SUPREME COURT'S DECISION. AND THAT SHOULD BE OBVIOUS FROM OUR
00:13:22PAPERS AND FROM OUR WHAT WE'VE SAID PUBLICLY ABOUT THE CASE.
00:13:25AND AND SO I, I, I AM ALSO UPSET
00:13:29ABOUT THE SUPREME COURT DECISION, BUT THE IDEA THAT PRESIDENT TRUMP SHOULDN'T BE
00:13:32ALLOWED TO COMMUNICATE TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE HIS FRUSTRATION.
00:13:36I DON'T SHARE THAT. NEXT, JUST
00:13:39NEXT TO YOU SEE, THERE'S A MICROPHONE, SO I CAN'T HEAR YOU.
00:13:41DON'T YOU LOVE THAT? NEXT QUESTION.
00:13:45>> UH, DID YOU ASK FOR JOE DIGENOVA RESIGNATION? AND DID HE
00:13:49TELL YOU THAT HE FELT THERE WASN'T ENOUGH EVIDENCE TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE GRAND
00:13:52CONSPIRACY INVESTIGATION? >> SO I DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT COMMUNICATIONS I HAVE WITH
00:13:56PROSECUTORS. UH, IT'S NOT FAIR TO THEM. IT'S NOT FAIR TO THE
00:13:58PROCESS. UM, I, I HE RESIGNED
00:14:02LAST WEEK. HE CAME OUT OF RETIREMENT TO HELP, TO HELP THE PRESIDENT AND TO HELP US. AND
00:14:06WE'RE VERY APPRECIATIVE OF THE WORK THAT HE DID. UM, BEYOND
00:14:09THAT, THERE'S BEEN A FEW NEWS STORIES ABOUT, HE SAID SOME
00:14:12DIFFERENT THINGS TO DIFFERENT OUTLETS, WHICH IS FINE. I'M JUST
00:14:16GOING TO LEAVE IT. I VERY MUCH APPRECIATE THE WORK THAT, THAT
00:14:18HE DID FOR US AND FOR THE ADMINISTRATION. ANY
00:14:21INVESTIGATIONS THAT HE'S WORKING ON, OF COURSE, CONTINUE LIKE
00:14:24THEY DO, LIKE ANY INVESTIGATION DOES. WHEN SOMEBODY LEAVES. UM,
00:14:28AND, AND WE'RE NOT GOING TO SLOW
00:14:30DOWN JUST BECAUSE, JUST BECAUSE SOMEBODY LEAVES. UM,
00:14:34REPLACEMENT. UM, JARED, JARED
00:14:35HALPERN, JARED HALPERN.
00:14:41>> UH, THANK YOU, MR. ATTORNEY GENERAL, TWO QUESTIONS FOR YOU.
00:14:43FIRST, FROM A LAW ENFORCEMENT
00:14:46PERSPECTIVE, WHAT ARE YOUR CONCERNS ABOUT ARTIFICIAL
00:14:49INTELLIGENCE? WHAT REGULATIONS ARE NEEDED? DO YOU THINK THERE
00:14:51SHOULD BE A SLOWDOWN IN THAT TECHNOLOGY, ESPECIALLY WITH HOW
00:14:55IT'S BEING USED INCREASINGLY IN
00:14:58LAW ENFORCEMENT OPERATIONS? AND THEN SECONDLY, MORE BROADLY,
00:15:01WHAT ROLE SHOULD AMERICANS EXPECT THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT TO
00:15:04TAKE IN THE UPCOMING MIDTERM
00:15:06ELECTIONS
00:15:08>> SO I'LL ANSWER THE FIRST
00:15:11QUESTION. UM, THE SECOND QUESTION FIRST, THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS ALWAYS INVOLVED IN
00:15:15ELECTIONS. THAT'S NOT NEW TO THIS ADMINISTRATION. IT'S NOT NEW TO THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION.
00:15:18AND SO OUR ROLE IS GOING TO BE THE SAME ROLE THAT THAT FEDERAL
00:15:22GOVERNMENTS, UM, PLAY IN
00:15:24ELECTIONS UNDER THE LAW, AS WE'RE REQUIRED TO DO, AND AS WE
00:15:27SHOULD DO. SO WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO DO THAT IN THIS
00:15:30ELECTION, JUST LIKE THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION DID IT DURING, DURING THE ELECTIONS, WHEN, WHEN
00:15:33BIDEN WAS PRESIDENT. AND SO, AS
00:15:36FAR AS AI IS CONCERNED, WE HAVE A LOT OF THERE'S A LOT OF
00:15:40CRIMINAL LAWS. AND SO IF ANYBODY ASSOCIATED WITH AI, UM, VIOLATES
00:15:43CRIMINAL LAW, WILL, WILL INVESTIGATE THAT. WE ALREADY HAVE, THERE'S, THERE'S PLENTY
00:15:47OF CASES INVOLVING AI THAT WE'VE CHARGED INDIVIDUALS. I, I DO NOT THINK IT'S THE JOB OF THE
00:15:51DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE TO REGULATE WHERE PROSECUTORS, NOT
00:15:55REGULATORS. SO WE'RE NOT GOING
00:15:56TO TRY TO REGULATE AI. AI IS
00:16:00EXTRAORDINARILY BENEFICIAL TO OUR SOCIETY. UM, THERE'S A LOT OF GREAT WORK THAT AI DOES. AND,
00:16:04AND IT'S ALSO SOMETHING THAT CONVENIENTLY HAS BECOME A
00:16:07FLASHPOINT THIS WEEK. AND THE PRESIDENT HAS SPOKEN ABOUT THAT, AND I VERY MUCH AGREE WITH HIM.
00:16:11BLANCHE. THE SECOND, SECOND ROW,
00:16:17UM, STEVEN NELSON IT'S MY FAVORITE PAPER OF THE NEW YORK POST. AMAZING.
00:16:20>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I ACTUALLY. >> DIDN'T KNOW THAT WHEN I CALLED ON HIM, I PROMISE.
00:16:24>> OH, I'D LIKE TO ASK YOU ABOUT THE IRAN WAR AND ABOUT
00:16:27ANTHONY FAUCI ON THE IRAN WAR. CONGRESSMAN THOMAS MASSIE TODAY
00:16:31INTRODUCED ARTICLES OF
00:16:36IMPEACHMENT AGAINST SECRETARY HEGSETH, WHO DID THOMAS MASSIE FOR ALLEGEDLY VIOLATING THE WAR
00:16:38POWERS RESOLUTION BY CONDUCTING THE WAR WITHOUT CONGRESSIONAL AUTHORIZATION. WHAT'S YOUR
00:16:42CURRENT LEGAL ASSESSMENT OF HOW LONG THE WORK COULD CONTINUE
00:16:45WITHOUT SPECIFIC CONGRESSIONAL
00:16:47AUTHORIZATION? AND SECONDLY, ON ANTHONY FAUCI, COULD YOU
00:16:50DESCRIBE THE STATUS OF YOUR
00:16:53REVIEW OF HIS ALLEGED CONTEMPT OF CONGRESS? UM, ARE WE ANY CLOSER TO CHARGES THERE? AND CAN
00:16:57YOU EXPLAIN WHY YOUR DEPARTMENT DIDN'T PROSECUTE HIM FOR
00:17:00ALLEGEDLY PERJURING HIMSELF?
00:17:03>> SO, UM, THE FIRST QUESTION IS
00:17:06SECRETARY HEGSETH IS DOING A PHENOMENAL JOB, AND THE
00:17:10SECRETARY OF WAR DOESN'T JUST GO OFF AND DO THINGS. SO HE
00:17:13FOLLOWS THE LAW. AND SO THE DOJ PLAYS A ROLE IN THAT. AND WE
00:17:17PLAY AN ACTIVE ROLE IN MAKING SURE THE LAWS ARE COMPLIED WITH. YOU CALLED IT A WAR. I DISAGREE
00:17:20WITH THAT CHARACTERIZATION, AS DOES MOST OF CONGRESS. UM, AND
00:17:25SO THERE'S BEEN VOTES ON WHETHER IT'S ON WHETHER ON
00:17:27WHETHER IT'S A WAR AND WHAT TO DO AND WHY VOTES THROUGH
00:17:30CONGRESS, WHICH HAS DETERMINED THERE WAS, HE'S NOT DOING ANYTHING WRONG. AND THE PRESIDENT IS NOT DOING ANYTHING
00:17:34WRONG, SHOULD RESULT IN ARTICLES OF IMPEACHMENT. I GUESS YOU'LL
00:17:37HAVE TO TALK TO, TO MASSIE ABOUT THAT. AS FAR AS DOCTOR, AS FAR
00:17:41AS FAUCI, UM, WE'RE AGAIN,
00:17:45IT'S AN ONGOING INVESTIGATION. I'M NOT GOING TO TALK ABOUT IT.
00:17:46UM, SO WE'RE, WE TAKE ANYTIME
00:17:50ANYBODY LIES TO CONGRESS OR POTENTIAL LIES TO CONGRESS SERIOUSLY. BUT BEYOND THAT, I
00:17:53DON'T HAVE A COMMENT. JOHN
00:17:56DECKER.
00:18:00>> THANK YOU, MR. ATTORNEY GENERAL. I WANTED TO FOLLOW UP
00:18:02WITH YOUR REMARKS REGARDING THAT
00:18:05DECISION BY THE SUPREME COURT REGARDING MAIL IN VOTING. AS YOU
00:18:08SAID, THE PRESIDENT WAS NOT PLEASED BY THIS RULING BY THE
00:18:12SUPREME COURT, AND HE PUT OUT A LENGTHY SOCIAL MEDIA POST. HE
00:18:14SAID, IN PART, THE SUPREME COURT HAS REALLY LET OUR COUNTRY DOWN.
00:18:18CERTAIN JUSTICES ARE PETRIFIED
00:18:21OF THESE CRAZED AND DEPRAVED
00:18:23DEMOCRATS AND ARE TOTALLY UNABLE
00:18:26TO SHOW THE COURAGE NECESSARY TO
00:18:28SAVE OUR AMERICA. YOU USED TO BE
00:18:30THE PRESIDENT'S PERSONAL LAWYER.
00:18:32YOU USED TO BE IN PRIVATE
00:18:34PRACTICE. WOULD YOU EVER
00:18:36ENCOURAGE ONE OF YOUR CLIENTS TO
00:18:39DISPARAGE A COURT IN THE MANNER
00:18:41THAT THE PRESIDENT HAS DISPARAGED THE SUPREME COURT? UH.
00:18:45>> I MEAN, HE'S SO YOU CAN'T
00:18:47TALK ABOUT MY BACKGROUND AND
00:18:50THEN ASK ME WHAT I WOULD HAVE DONE. HE'S THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. SO THE REAL
00:18:53QUESTION IS WHETHER THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
00:18:57IS ALLOWED TO BE CRITICAL OF ANOTHER BRANCH OF GOVERNMENT.
00:19:00AND THE ANSWER TO THAT IS ABSOLUTELY. OF COURSE HE IS. AND
00:19:03AND BY THE WAY, WHAT HE WROTE ABOUT THAT IS THE SAME THING THAT HE SAID PUBLICLY,
00:19:07REPEATEDLY. IT'S THE SAME THING THAT DOJ BRIEFS HAVE SAID ABOUT
00:19:11THE ISSUE. WE DO THINK THAT THIS DECISION IS NOT THE RIGHT
00:19:14DECISION. THAT IS OKAY. THAT'S THE WAY. THE WAY DEMOCRACY
00:19:17WORKS. AND SO WHAT I WOULD HAVE ADVISED THE CLIENT, OR WHAT I
00:19:21WOULD HAVE DONE WHEN I WAS A PROSECUTOR OR WHEN I WAS
00:19:23PRESIDENT TRUMP'S LAWYER, UM, ISN'T IN ANY WAY OR SHAPE
00:19:26RELEVANT TO WHAT THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES SHOULD BE
00:19:29DOING IN COMMUNICATING TO THE, TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
00:19:33>> AG BLANCHE
00:19:37>> ARE NICE. I LOVE THAT.
00:19:42>> ARE, YOU. >> KNOW, I'M COMFORTABLE. IT'S
00:19:43ACTUALLY REALLY NICE. I HAVE
00:19:46WATER IF ANYBODY NEEDS IT. >> THAT'S RIGHT. I WANT TO PUT A FINER POINT ON THAT LAST
00:19:50QUESTION. AND THEN I HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION RELATED TO IT.
00:19:54ON THE COMMENTS FROM THE PRESIDENT, SPECIFICALLY, THAT THE SUPREME COURT JUSTICES AND
00:19:57THIS DECISION AREN'T THE PEOPLE
00:20:01HE INTERVIEWED. DOES THAT UNDERMINE EVEN THE PERCEPTION OF THE COURT'S INDEPENDENCE, IN YOUR VIEW?
00:20:05>> NO, NOT AT ALL. NO. I MEAN, UM, HE WANTS ANOTHER ONE.
00:20:08THAT'S OKAY. HE CAN HAVE ANOTHER ONE. UM, NO, I DON'T THINK IT UNDERMINES LIKE, I
00:20:12THINK LOOK WHAT HAPPENED AFTER THE DOBBS DECISION. MEMBERS OF
00:20:16CONGRESS, THE ADMINISTRATION CAME OUT BASICALLY THREATENING JUDGES FOR MONTHS ON END.
00:20:20THERE'S A FULL SECURITY FORCE,
00:20:22OKAY. AROUND EVERY JUSTICE BECAUSE OF THE RHETORIC. AFTER
00:20:26THE SUPREME COURT ISSUED THAT DECISION. AND SO THE FACT THAT THE PRESIDENT ISSUES A TRUTH,
00:20:30SAYING THAT THE THE JUSTICES THAT INTERVIEWED IN FRONT OF
00:20:34HIM, YOU KNOW, 6 OR 7 YEARS AGO, EIGHT YEARS AGO, ARE NOT THE
00:20:37JUSTICES HE'S SEEING NOW THAT THAT UNDERMINES THE. NO, I
00:20:41DON'T THINK IN ANY WAY, SHAPE OR FORM IT DOES THAT. I THINK
00:20:44THAT THAT'S THAT'S A THAT'S JUST SOMETHING THAT THE MEDIA
00:20:46WANTS TO PUT ON IT. HE HAS A.
00:20:50THE PRESIDENT SHOULD BE COMMUNICATING TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ABOUT, ABOUT CASES THAT ARE EXTRAORDINARILY IMPORTANT TO
00:20:54HIM, WHICH THIS ONE, WHICH THIS ONE IS. >> AND.
00:20:57>> AND, AND, AND RELATED TO THIS WHOLE DISCUSSION, AFTER ALL THIS
00:21:00BACK AND FORTH. ARE YOU CONCERNED AT ALL THAT VOTERS MAY
00:21:04BE CONFUSED ABOUT WHAT THEIR OPTIONS ACTUALLY ARE NOW TO VOTE BY MAIL? AND WHAT, IF ANYTHING,
00:21:07WILL THE DOJ DO TO KIND OF
00:21:10EDUCATE PEOPLE ON THE FALLOUT OF
00:21:11THIS CASE NOW?
00:21:15>> I'M NOT SURE THAT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE FOLLOW THIS AS
00:21:17CLOSELY AS, AS THE FOLKS IN THIS
00:21:20IN THIS BEAUTIFUL ROSE GARDEN
00:21:23DO. UM, SO, NO, I HAVEN'T SEEN ANY SUGGESTION OR ANY INFORMATION OR HEARD FROM
00:21:26SECRETARIES OF STATE THAT, THAT THAT'S AN ISSUE. THAT'S THE
00:21:29RESPONSE. I MEAN, LISTEN, BALLOTS ARE CONFUSING IN EVERY
00:21:33ELECTION. THE WAY THEY'RE DISTRIBUTED, THE WAY THEY'RE TALKED ABOUT. THAT'S SOMETHING
00:21:36THAT, THAT, THAT, THAT THE STATE
00:21:38AND LOCALS HANDLE VERY WELL EVERY SINGLE ELECTION CYCLE FOR
00:21:41ONE REASON OR ANOTHER. SO NO, THAT DOESN'T THAT DOESN'T
00:21:44CONCERN ME. GO AHEAD.
00:21:52>> THANK YOU SO MUCH. AND JUST ACKNOWLEDGING THAT YOU'RE STANDING IN FRONT OF THE OVAL
00:21:55OFFICE, AND THE PRESIDENT MIGHT BE WATCHING HERE. SO IF AT ANY POINT HE WANTS TO COME OUT. I
00:21:59DON'T THINK. AND TAKE OUR QUESTIONS. >> HE'S ALWAYS WATCHING. I DON'T THINK THE MERE FACT I'D
00:22:03LOVE. >> TO SEE HIM. AG BLANCHE. >> NO OFFENSE. I'M STANDING
00:22:07RIGHT HERE. OKAY. >> YOU'RE DOING A GREAT JOB. TWO QUESTIONS HERE. UM, THE
00:22:10FIRST, YOU KNOW, YOU GO AFTER CROOKS AND CRIMINALS AND
00:22:14THIEVES. THE GOVERNMENT HAS MADE IT VERY CLEAR THAT CHINA HAS
00:22:18BEEN STEALING FROM OUR AI
00:22:21COMPANIES. SO IS IT TIME TO GO
00:22:25AFTER CHINA? AND PARTICULARLY PRESIDENT XI, WHO WILL BE HERE
00:22:28IN WASHINGTON NEXT WEEK, IS A TIME FOR THE PRESIDENT TO TALK
00:22:30TO HIM ABOUT HOW CHINA HAS BEEN STEALING FROM US.
00:22:34>> WELL, SO WHEN YOU SAY CHINA, YOU'RE TALKING TO ABOUT AN
00:22:37ENTIRE COUNTRY. AND SO THE PRESIDENT HAS THOSE TWO
00:22:40PRESIDENTS HAVE A GREAT RELATIONSHIP, AND THEY'RE
00:22:44THEY'RE THEY GET ALONG, THEY MAKE DEALS TOGETHER. BUT DOES THAT ARE THEY'RE SEPARATE ISSUES
00:22:47WITH ACTORS IN CHINA AND COMPANIES IN CHINA AND BAD
00:22:51ACTORS. THAT HAS EXISTED LONG BEFORE THIS ADMINISTRATION AND
00:22:54WILL EXIST FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL YEARS. AND, AND THE DEPARTMENT
00:22:56OF JUSTICE AND OTHER AGENCIES IN
00:23:00THE EXECUTIVE, OF COURSE, WE'RE DOING EVERYTHING WE CAN TO COMBAT THAT AND TO GO AFTER THAT
00:23:03IN THE RIGHT, IN THE RIGHT WAY. BUT I DON'T THINK IT'S FAIR TO
00:23:06JUST LABEL CHINA AS A COUNTRY. THERE'S BAD ACTORS IN CHINA THAT ARE DOING IT, WHICH WE'RE
00:23:10DEFINITELY GOING TO GO AFTER. ALL RIGHT, SOMEBODY IN THE BACK.
00:23:13UM, YEAH. THE GUY POINTING TO
00:23:15HIS OWN HEAD. THAT'S PRETTY
00:23:18GOOD. CAN'T HEAR YOU. SORRY I
00:23:24CAN'T HEAR YOU. >> HEY. HEY, THERE. THANK YOU.
00:23:27UH, WILLIE NELSON WITH SRN. MR.
00:23:29ATTORNEY GENERAL REPORTS SAY ACTRESS HAYDEN PANETTIERE MAY
00:23:33HAVE DIED AFTER TAKING A PILL LACED WITH FENTANYL. THE DEA IS
00:23:36LOOKING AT HER ALLEGED DEALER. WHAT IS THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT
00:23:40GOING TO DOING TO GO AFTER THE PEOPLE THAT SELL THESE FAKE
00:23:43PILLS? AND MY SECOND QUESTION
00:23:45IS, UH, IS THE AI DOOMSDAY TALK
00:23:49A REAL NATIONAL SECURITY ISSUE, OR IS IT A WAY TO PUT THE
00:23:52GOVERNMENT IN CHARGE OF THE INTERNET?
00:23:54>> SO WHEN IT COMES TO FENTANYL, THEY'RE NOT FAKE PILLS. THEY'RE
00:23:58DEATH PILLS, RIGHT? SO THEY'RE PILLS THAT KILL PEOPLE. AND THERE'S A FEDERAL STATUTE THAT
00:24:01ALLOWS US TO GO AFTER IT.
00:24:03ASSUMING WE CAN, WE CAN PROVE WHO THE DEALER IS TO GO AFTER
00:24:07THEM AND PUT THEM IN PRISON FOR MURDER. AND WE DO IT IN EVERY
00:24:11DISTRICT IN THIS COUNTRY. AND IT'S A BIG IT'S A BIG EMPHASIS
00:24:14OF, OF, OF DEA MINISTER COLE AND
00:24:18OUR PROSECUTORS AROUND THE COUNTRY. SO WHEN WE CAN PROVE.
00:24:20AND SOMETIMES IF SOMEBODY IS AN ADDICT, IT'S DIFFICULT TO PROVE
00:24:24WHO THEY ACTUALLY GOT THE PILL FROM. BUT IN THE CASES WHERE WE, WHERE WE KNOW WHO THE DEALER
00:24:28WAS, AND WE CAN PROVE BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT THAT THAT THE
00:24:32PERSON SOLD THE, THE DEATH PILL TO THE, TO THE VICTIM WHO THEN
00:24:36DIES. THAT'S A, THAT'S A FEDERAL CRIME. AND THAT'S
00:24:39SOMETHING THAT WE WILL READILY PROSECUTE AS OFTEN AS WE CAN. AS
00:24:42FAR AS THE AI QUESTION, I ANSWERED IT EARLIER, BUT I MEAN,
00:24:45THERE'S NO I MEAN, I THIS
00:24:47SHOULD NOT BE BREAKING NEWS THAT
00:24:49THIS AI, UM, ISSUE THAT'S SUDDENLY COME UP TWO MONTHS
00:24:52BEFORE AN ELECTION IS BEING THE
00:24:54PRESIDENT CALLS IT A HOAX. THE
00:24:56WAY THIS HAS COME AROUND TODAY AND NOT THREE MONTHS AGO. I
00:25:00MEAN, I WAS WATCHING THE NEWS TODAY, EVERY DEMOCRAT SENATOR
00:25:03SUDDENLY RACES TO A MICROPHONE TO TALK ABOUT AI AFTER BEING
00:25:07EERILY SILENT FOR MONTHS AND MONTHS AND MONTHS. SO TO TALK
00:25:10ABOUT THE TIMING OF THIS AS BEING NOTHING BUT AN EFFORT TO,
00:25:13TO INFLUENCE THE MIDTERMS, I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO SAY THAT OUT LOUD, OF COURSE, THAT WHAT IT
00:25:16IS, THAT'S, THAT'S WHAT IT IS. AND THAT SHOULDN'T BE WHAT
00:25:20DRIVES THE, THE, THE DECISIONS THAT WE'RE MAKING AROUND AI. WE
00:25:24CAN'T LOSE THE AI RACE TO
00:25:26CHINA, RIGHT? PRESIDENT TRUMP SAYS THAT. EVERYBODY SAYS THAT, BUT THEY SAY IT BECAUSE IT'S
00:25:30TRUE GO SECOND ROW. YES.
00:25:37>> LANDERS WITH PBS NEWSHOUR. UM, THE FBI CONDUCTED A RAID AT
00:25:40FULTON COUNTY, GEORGIA, BACK IN JANUARY THIS YEAR. AND THEY
00:25:43ALLEGE THAT THERE WAS IMPROPRIETY WITH THE 2020 ELECTION THERE. HAS THE
00:25:47DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE FOUND ANY
00:25:49EVIDENCE FROM THE FBI OF THAT? WHY IS IT TAKING SO LONG IF YOU
00:25:53ALL THINK THAT THERE WAS ELECTION FRAUD IN 2020, WHY HAS THAT NOT COME FORWARD? WHERE IS
00:25:57THE EVIDENCE? >> WELL, SO IT WASN'T A THE FBI
00:26:01CONDUCTED A RAID. IT'S THAT A JUDGE AUTHORIZED A SEARCH
00:26:03WARRANT BASED UPON PROBABLE CAUSE TO ALLOW US TO SEARCH AND
00:26:07COLLECT THOSE RECORDS. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF
00:26:10RECORDS, AND THEY ARE NOW MANY,
00:26:12MANY YEARS OLD. AND SO I'M NOT SURE WHAT THE QUESTION ABOUT
00:26:16TIMING IS. BUT BUT WHAT WHEN?
00:26:18WHEN WE HAVE AN ANSWER, WHEN THE INVESTIGATION IS COMPLETE, YOU
00:26:22WILL KNOW I'M NOT YOU CAN'T RUSH AN INVESTIGATION LIKE THAT.
00:26:25REVIEWING HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF BALLOTS FROM MANY, MANY YEARS AGO. THERE'S THAT'S SOMETHING,
00:26:29AGAIN, IT'S AN ONGOING CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION. SO GETTING INTO THE WEEDS OF WHAT WE'RE DOING
00:26:32AND NOT DOING ISN'T APPROPRIATE. BUT, BUT IT'S ALSO NOT
00:26:35APPROPRIATE TO, TO SUGGEST THAT
00:26:37THIS IS JUST THE FBI OR THE DOJ GOING AND SEIZING RECORDS. IT'S
00:26:41A JUDGE REVIEWING, IT'S A JUDGE REVIEWING, REVIEWING AN
00:26:44AFFIDAVIT, AND FINDING THAT THERE IS PROBABLE CAUSE. ALL
00:26:46RIGHT. SOMEBODY IN THE BACK.
00:26:50YES. YOU SURE?
00:26:57>> WHAT'S THE PRESIDENT HIS SON
00:27:00WAS ACCEPTING A GIFT FROM
00:27:02RUSSIAN OLIGARCH WHEN HE DECIDED
00:27:04NOT TO GO TO BAHAMAS TO HIS WEDDING? WHAT WAS HIS REACTION
00:27:08WHEN HE LEARNED ABOUT IT? AND TO
00:27:15OFFICIAL, UH, WAS IT APPROPRIATE
00:27:17THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED
00:27:20STATES TO ACCEPT SUCH A GIFT
00:27:22FROM A FOREIGN BUSINESSMAN, FROM
00:27:24A FRIEND OF PUTIN? AND ARE YOU
00:27:27GOING TO INVESTIGATE IF
00:27:30EVERYTHING WAS APPROPRIATELY UH, AS A GIFT?
00:27:32>> SO THE PRESIDENT ALREADY TALKED ABOUT IT. SO I WASN'T
00:27:36WITH THE PRESIDENT WHEN HE LEARNED. SO I CAN'T GIVE YOU A FIRSTHAND ACCOUNT, BUT THE PRESIDENT HAS TALKED ABOUT IT.
00:27:40OTHER PEOPLE HAVE TALKED ABOUT IT. THE PRESIDENT DOESN'T KNOW WHO THIS PERSON IS. I THINK
00:27:44OTHER MEMBERS OF THE FAMILY DON'T KNOW WHO THIS PERSON IS. THE PRESIDENT'S SON HAS SAID
00:27:47THAT HE'S A VERY CLOSE FRIEND AND THAT HE ACCEPTED A GIFT IN
00:27:51THE WEEKEND OF HIS WEDDING. UM, I'M NOT SO, SO I DON'T I'M NOT
00:27:55SURE WHAT. WHEN YOU SAY, AM I INVESTIGATING? AM I
00:27:58INVESTIGATING WHAT? AND WHEN YOU SAY THIS PERSON IS A FRIEND OF
00:28:01PUTIN, I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF THAT'S TRUE OR NOT. SO I LIKE
00:28:05THAT IT'S, IT'S FUN TO TALK ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND THE
00:28:09RHETORIC AROUND IT. BUT, BUT I THINK ALL THE RELEVANT PEOPLE INVOLVED, THE PRESIDENT AND HIS
00:28:13KIDS, HAVE ALREADY ADDRESSED IT. I DON'T HAVE ANY INFORMATION. I DON'T KNOW THIS PERSON EITHER.
00:28:17SO I DON'T HAVE ANY INFORMATION ABOUT IT BEYOND THAT. OKAY.
00:28:20WE'LL TAKE JUST A COUPLE MORE.
00:28:21YOU YOU, I WAS GOING TO SAY THE,
00:28:25THE BALD GUY, BUT THAT'S PROBABLY GONNA GET IN TROUBLE FOR THAT. OH.
00:28:28>> UH, KARA CASTRONOVA FROM LINDELL TV, THANK YOU SO MUCH
00:28:31FOR TAKING MY QUESTION TODAY. AND I HAVE TWO QUESTIONS THAT ARE DEEPLY, I THINK, IMPORTANT
00:28:35TO OUR AUDIENCE. ONE OF THEM IS ABOUT THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
00:28:38WEAPONIZATION WORKING GROUP, AND WHAT THE STATUS OF THAT WORKING
00:28:42GROUP IS. SPECIFICALLY, UNDER YOUR LEADERSHIP, WILL THE DOJ FINALLY INVESTIGATE THE
00:28:45TREATMENT OF THE JANUARY 6th POLITICAL PRISONERS AND THE FOUR
00:28:49DEATHS THAT OCCURRED THAT DAY, INCLUDING THE KILLING OF TWO
00:28:51WOMEN BY POLICE AND ANY FEDERAL
00:28:54AGENCY INVOLVEMENT? AND WILL YOU ALSO CONSIDER INVESTIGATING WHETHER THERE WAS ANY IMPROPER
00:28:58CONTACT, AS IT WAS REPORTED BY SOURCES BETWEEN MERRICK
00:29:02GARLAND'S DOJ AND ACTIVIST DC JUDGES.
00:29:05>> SO ON. SO, AGAIN, THE SAME
00:29:10QUESTION ABOUT ONGOING INVESTIGATIONS IS NOT APPROPRIATE FOR ME TO TALK ABOUT
00:29:12THEM, AND IT NEVER WILL BE. WHEN IT COMES TO THE WEAPONIZATION
00:29:15WORKING GROUP, WE'VE BEEN PUTTING OUT A WORK PRODUCT
00:29:19ALMOST EVERY MONTH FOR THE PAST SEVERAL MONTHS, INCLUDING IN
00:29:22AUGUST, ADDRESSING ANOTHER ONE OF THE, OF THE, OF THE ISSUES
00:29:25THAT WE WERE CHARGED WITH LOOKING INTO. SO THAT WORK
00:29:29CONTINUES. THE, ALL THE WORK
00:29:30THAT WE'RE DOING AROUND THE,
00:29:33UM, AROUND THE ANTI WEAPONIZATION, THE FIXING WHAT
00:29:37WE BELIEVE AND WHAT WE KNOW WENT WRONG DURING THE LAST ADMINISTRATION DOESN'T JUST
00:29:40HAPPEN OVERNIGHT. IT INVOLVES, LIKE ANY INVESTIGATION, REVIEWING RECORDS AND INTERVIEWS
00:29:44AND HAVING LAWYERS AND AGENTS,
00:29:47IN SOME CASES DO WORK. AND SO THAT WORK CONTINUES. BUT IT'S
00:29:50NOT FAIR TO THE PROCESS, TO THE PROSECUTORS OR TO ANYBODY
00:29:54INVOLVED. FOR ME TO GIVE NUGGETS ALONG THE WAY OF WHAT WE'RE
00:29:57DOING OR NOT DOING. SO I'M NOT
00:29:58GOING TO DO THAT. YES, YOU.
00:30:07>> CAN. >> THANK YOU, MR. ATTORNEY
00:30:09GENERAL. UM, SO ON. OPENAI HAS
00:30:11SAID THAT THEY ARE WORKING WITH
00:30:14GOOGLE AND ANTHROPIC ON SECURITY MEASURES FOR THEIR AI MODELS. DO
00:30:18THEY NEED ANTITRUST WAIVERS? DO YOU SEE THAT IN THE FUTURE?
00:30:21PLUS, ARE YOU CONCERNED ABOUT WHO CONTROLS THE INFORMATION
00:30:24THAT IS COMING OUT OF AI MODELS?
00:30:29>> WELL, WHETHER WHETHER ENTITIES NEED AN ANTITRUST WAIVER IS NOT SOMETHING I CAN ANSWER FROM THE PODIUM OF THE
00:30:33WHITE HOUSE. THERE'S DOZENS OF FACTORS THAT GO INTO THAT. AND
00:30:36AND THERE'S AN APPLICATION PROCESS, AND THERE'S, THERE'S A
00:30:39KIND OF A PROCESS THAT DOJ AND OTHERS USE TO DETERMINE WHAT I
00:30:43CAN'T ADDRESS, THAT I CAN SAY THAT THAT TO THE EXTENT THAT
00:30:47THAT, UM, THOSE COMPANIES ARE LOOKING TO REGULATE THEMSELVES
00:30:50OR FIX PROBLEMS THAT THEY HAVE, THAT THEY SHOULD, THEY SHOULD DO
00:30:53THAT. BUT, BUT WORKING WITH US, IF NECESSARY. SO THAT'S ALL I
00:30:56CAN SAY ABOUT THAT. ALL RIGHT,
00:31:00ONE MORE. GO AHEAD. >> THANK YOU. >> SORRY. ALL RIGHT. I'LL GET
00:31:02I'LL COME TO YOU NEXT
00:31:08>> TWO QUESTIONS. EARLIER TODAY, PRESIDENT TRUMP SAID THAT THERE
00:31:12WAS NEW EVIDENCE IN THE ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT IN BUTLER,
00:31:15PENNSYLVANIA. HE SAID IT WAS A DEMOCRATIC PLOT. MOMENTS LATER,
00:31:19KASH PATEL TESTIFIED THAT THE
00:31:20SHOOTER WASN'T SPEAKING TO ANYONE OTHER THAN HIS PARENTS.
00:31:24CAN YOU PLEASE EXPLAIN BOTH HOW THIS WAS A DEMOCRATIC PLOT AND
00:31:27WHAT THIS NEW EVIDENCE IS? AND A
00:31:30SECOND QUESTION, WHICH IS IN THE SAME POST, HE SAID THAT
00:31:33CHRISTOPHER WRAY SHOULD BE
00:31:38PUNISHED FOR HIS LACK OF OVERSIGHT DURING THIS INVESTIGATION. IS THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT CONSIDERING BRINGING
00:31:41CHARGES AGAINST CHRIS WRAY? >> SO THE THE DEPARTMENT OF
00:31:44JUSTICE DOESN'T PUNISH, BY THE WAY. BUT, UM, SO, LOOK, I, I WAS
00:31:47WITH PRESIDENT TRUMP DURING THE TIME PERIOD BEFORE AND AFTER THE
00:31:51ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT ON HIS LIFE. AND HE WAS SHOT. HE
00:31:54WAS A VICTIM. THERE WAS AN
00:31:57INNOCENT MAN KILLED. THERE WERE OTHER PEOPLE WHO WERE VERY SERIOUSLY INJURED WHEN THAT
00:32:01HAPPENED. UM, WHAT PRESIDENT TRUMP SAID TODAY ABOUT THE NEW
00:32:04INFORMATION, AND THIS NEW INFORMATION IS INFORMATION THAT,
00:32:06THAT WE FOUND THAT THE FBI FOUND
00:32:09THAT PRODUCED TO, TO THE SENATE IN RESPONSE TO INQUIRIES THAT
00:32:12THEY HAD. IT IS NEW INFORMATION
00:32:14ABOUT THE SHOOTER AND ABOUT HIS
00:32:16BACKGROUND, ABOUT HIS HISTORY. AND THAT'S STUFF THAT WE DIDN'T
00:32:20KNOW BEFORE. SO THAT'S THE NEW INFORMATION. AS FAR AS THE
00:32:24PRESIDENT'S FRUSTRATION WITH THE FBI. I WAS THERE WITH HIM, I
00:32:27LIVED IT. I MEAN, YOU HAVE A
00:32:29SITUATION WHERE WHERE IT'S NOT REALLY CLEAR WHAT THE LEADERSHIP
00:32:32OF THE FBI WERE DOING IN THE
00:32:34WEEKS AND MONTHS AHEAD OF THE
00:32:37ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION TO PROTECT PRESIDENT TRUMP. THAT'S
00:32:40THE SAME ORGANIZATION THAT WAS SIMULTANEOUSLY TRYING TO PUT HIM
00:32:43IN PRISON UNTIL HE DIES. SO, SO
00:32:45HIS FRUSTRATION AND CONCERN ABOUT WHAT THE THE FORMER
00:32:48DIRECTOR WAS DOING, UM, IS SOMETHING THAT IS NOT NEW. HE
00:32:51SAID THAT FOR A VERY LONG TIME, I WAS WITH HIM DURING THE
00:32:54INVESTIGATION AND TRYING, YOU KNOW, BEFORE HE WAS ELECTED
00:32:57PRESIDENT, TRYING TO UNDERSTAND
00:32:59WHAT HAPPENED AND WHY. AND, AND
00:33:03DIRECTOR PATEL HAS HAS UNDERTAKEN A HERCULEAN EFFORT TO
00:33:05GO THROUGH ALL THE DOCUMENTS AND
00:33:08UNDERSTAND WHAT WAS MISSED, IF ANYTHING, AND TO PROVIDE ANYTHING THAT HADN'T COME
00:33:12FORWARD TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. AND THAT'S WHAT HE'S DONE. OKAY.
00:33:16LAST QUESTION FOR YOU.
00:33:17>> THANK YOU HERE. TWO
00:33:22QUESTIONS. WHAT IS YOUR PLAN
00:33:48>> THE FIRST ONE WORKING WITH TREASURY SECRETARY BESSENT AND
00:33:52DHS, WE WE SPEND A TREMENDOUS
00:33:55AMOUNT OF RESOURCES AND EFFORT
00:33:57TO KEEP OUR FINANCIAL SYSTEM CLEAR OF ANY TERRORIST FINANCING. IF WE FIND MONEY THAT
00:34:01IS LINKED TO TERRORISM, TO FREEZE THAT MONEY AND TO SEIZE
00:34:05IT, IF WE ULTIMATELY CAN. THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE ALWAYS DO AND WILL CONTINUE TO DO. AS
00:34:08FAR AS WHAT WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO WITH, WITH PRISONERS IN THOSE
00:34:11COUNTRIES, IT DEPENDS. I MEAN, IF THE PRISONERS ARE CHARGED HERE WITH CRIMES, WE'LL
00:34:15OBVIOUSLY, WE WANT PEOPLE WE CHARGED WITH CRIMES TO COME HERE
00:34:17AND FACE JUSTICE, BUT IT DEPENDS
00:34:20ON ON THE CIRCUMSTANCES AROUND THAT. OKAY. CAN I JUST SAY, AND
00:34:23CAN I. NO, I'M, I'M DONE WITH QUESTIONS. I STAYED TEN MINUTES
00:34:27LONGER THAN I WAS SUPPOSED TO.
00:34:29UM, I, UH, I WILL TELL YOU THE FACT THAT KAROLINE LEAVITT DID
00:34:33THIS FOR AS LONG AS SHE DID IS INCREDIBLE. UM, SO THANK YOU
00:34:36GUYS VERY MUCH FOR LETTING ME,
00:34:40UH, JOIN YOU ALL TODAY. I'M VERY SORRY THAT YOU'RE SWEATING. I'M
00:34:43NOT REALLY SORRY. UM, BUT. BUT
00:34:46THANK YOU VERY MUCH. AND I WANT
00:34:48TO THANK, UH, PUBLICLY. THANK KAROLINE LEAVITT FOR DOING THIS FOR A LONG TIME FOR PRESIDENT
00:34:52TRUMP. SHE'S A, SHE'S A VERY, SHE'S A LOT BETTER THAN ME.
00:34:55AND, UH, AND SO THANK YOU GUYS VERY MUCH. I APPRECIATE IT.

00:36:58HELLO, MARIO. HOW ARE YOU? >> [APPLAUSE]
00:37:00>> HEY, GREAT TO HAVE YOU. FANTASTIC. >> [APPLAUSE]
00:37:04>> GREAT JOB. DARIO. YOU'RE DOING AN AMAZING JOB LEADING THE
00:37:07AI INDUSTRY, GUIDING IT. ALL RIGHT. FROM OUR SLACK
00:37:11HEADQUARTERS BUILDING. WE WATCH YOU EVERY DAY.
00:37:13>> WE'RE WATCHING IT FROM YOU >> IT'S ALL GOOD KARMA, ISN'T
00:37:17IT. AND WE'RE WATCHING YOU DOING AN INCREDIBLE JOB. YOU
00:37:20BECOME THE NUMBER ONE AI IN THE
00:37:22WORLD, THREE TIMES LARGER THAN THE NEAREST PROVIDER. IT'S BEEN
00:37:25AMAZING TO BE PARTNERED WITH YOU. IT'S ALL BEEN VERY KARMIC
00:37:28AND KISMET AND GOOD. AND ONE OF THE THINGS I HAVE TO ASK YOU
00:37:32BEFORE WE GET INTO THE INTERVIEW, I WANT TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT AI. OF COURSE, I WANT TO
00:37:35TALK TO YOU ABOUT CLOUD FORCE. I WANT TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT HOW YOU'RE RUNNING YOUR OWN
00:37:38BUSINESS. BUT WOW, YOU WROTE, YOU KNOW, YOU, I MEAN,
00:37:42EVERYTHING FROM YOUR FIRST ESSAY THAT YOU WROTE, YOU KNOW, ABOUT
00:37:45LOVING GRACE TO, TO THE ESSAY
00:37:47THIS WEEKEND ON PACING HAS BEEN
00:37:50INCREDIBLE. BUT GIVE US YOUR
00:37:51STATE OF THE AI INDUSTRY AND PACING AND WHERE YOUR MIND IS
00:37:55RIGHT NOW. >> YEAH, I THINK IT'S MAYBE
00:37:58EASIEST TO EXPLAIN IT BY AN ANALOGY. SO LET'S SAY YOU'RE
00:38:01RUNNING A CAR COMPANY AND ANOTHER CAR COMPANY, NOT YOURS.
00:38:05THEY HAVE SOME KIND OF SAFETY INCIDENT, RIGHT? SOMETHING GOES WRONG WITH THE BRAKES. YOU KNOW,
00:38:08SOMETHING WITH THE MANUFACTURING. NOW, YOU BELIEVE
00:38:12YOU HAVE THE BEST SAFETY RECORD IN THE INDUSTRY. WHAT DO YOU DO?
00:38:14HOW DO YOU APPROACH IT? OBVIOUSLY, IT'S VERY TEMPTING TO ATTACK YOUR COMPETITOR AND
00:38:18SAY, THESE GUYS ARE UNSAFE OR
00:38:21SAFE, BUT I THINK THE MORE
00:38:24RESPONSIBLE WAY TO RESPOND TO IT IS TO SAY, HEY, FIRST OF ALL, LET'S LOOK. LET'S LOOK AT OUR
00:38:28OWN RECORD, RIGHT? WE MAY NOT HAVE HAD THIS BIG HIGH PROFILE
00:38:31INCIDENT, BUT I'M SURE WE'RE NOT PERFECT. LET'S LOOK AT EVERYTHING, AND WE CAN ALWAYS BE
00:38:35BETTER. LET'S MAKE OUR PRACTICES BETTER. UM, LET'S
00:38:39RECOMMIT TO TRANSPARENCY. LET'S INVEST MORE IN SAFETY. THEN
00:38:41LET'S ORGANIZE THE REST OF THE INDUSTRY AND SAY, WHAT CAN WE DO
00:38:45TO SET STANDARDS FOR EVERYONE? WHAT CAN WE DO TO MAKE EVERYONE
00:38:49STANDARDS BETTER? AND THEN FINALLY, THERE SHOULD BE AN INTERNATIONAL COMPONENT TO IT.
00:38:53AND THAT'S ESSENTIALLY THE THREE STEP PLAN THAT I LAID OUT,
00:38:56THAT I LAID OUT IN THE ESSAY, THE FIRST OF WHICH WE COMMITTED
00:38:59TO, AND THE, THE OTHERS OF WHICH
00:39:01WERE GOING TO HAVE A DIALOG WITH THE REST OF THE INDUSTRY ABOUT.
00:39:05AND I THINK, I THINK THAT'S THE WAY TO LEAD THE INDUSTRY
00:39:09FORWARD, TO SET AN EXAMPLE, TO SAY THAT EVERYONE CAN ALWAYS BE
00:39:12BETTER >> LET ME ASK YOU A QUESTION,
00:39:15DARIO. YOU KNOW, IT'S BEEN AMAZING WHAT YOU HAVE BEEN ABLE
00:39:18TO ACCOMPLISH, LIKE I SAID, BUT
00:39:21THERE ARE A LOT OF SURPRISES ALSO THAT YOU HAVE GONE THROUGH.
00:39:24SO, YOU KNOW, JUST TELL US, WHAT HAS BEEN YOUR BIGGEST SURPRISE
00:39:28OVER THE LAST DECADE. AND, YOU KNOW, YOU'VE OBVIOUSLY BEEN
00:39:31HEADS DOWN IN AI NOW FOR TEN YEARS, REALLY IN EARNEST.
00:39:35WHAT'S YOUR BIGGEST SHOCK ABOUT WHERE WE ARE RIGHT NOW?
00:39:37>> YOU KNOW, IT'S IT'S BEEN THE
00:39:40PACE OF THE PROGRESS, NOT JUST
00:39:42OF THE TECHNOLOGY, BUT OF THE
00:39:44ECONOMIC SIDE OF IT. SO WE, YOU
00:39:47KNOW, I FORMULATED THE SCALING LAWS, ALONG WITH SOME OF MY CO-FOUNDERS, WHICH TELL YOU THAT
00:39:51AI MODELS GET SMARTER AND SMARTER. THE MORE COMPUTE YOU
00:39:54THROW INTO THEM. AND SO WE HAD A PREDICTION OF JUST HOW CAPABLE
00:39:58THESE MODELS WOULD BE. BUT I THINK WHAT WE DIDN'T APPRECIATE
00:40:01IS THAT IT WOULD LEAD TO THESE COMPANIES GROWING SO FAST, TO
00:40:05ALL THESE INCREDIBLE, YOU KNOW, PRODUCTS THAT WE'RE WORKING TOGETHER ON. AND YOU'VE BEEN
00:40:08TALKING ABOUT TODAY AND HOW QUICKLY THEY WOULD BECOME
00:40:12CENTRAL TO EVERYTHING THAT'S GOING ON IN THE WORLD. RIGHT? I JUST WATCHED THE TALKS BEFORE
00:40:16THAT, WHERE, YOU KNOW, YOU GUYS TALKED ABOUT MCP AND COWORK AND
00:40:19CLAUDE SKILLS, AND THESE ARE ALL NEW THINGS THAT PEOPLE ARE JUST
00:40:23BEGINNING TO USE, BUT THEY'RE BEING ADOPTED SO QUICKLY BECAUSE
00:40:27THE ECONOMIC VALUE IS SO IS SO GREAT. SO I'VE JUST BEEN
00:40:31SURPRISED THAT SUCH A PACE IS POSSIBLE IN THE BUSINESS WORLD.
00:40:34>> WELL, I'LL TELL YOU WHAT, SALESFORCE, WE ARE HUGE COWORK
00:40:37FANS. AND ALSO, WHEN I WAS IN EUROPE, I MET WITH SO MANY
00:40:40CUSTOMERS WHO ARE COWORK FANS. IT'S INCREDIBLE WHAT YOU'VE
00:40:43DONE WITH THE PRODUCT. I NOTICING OVER YOUR SHOULDER
00:40:46HERE, YOU'VE GOT A FEW SALESFORCE ALUMNI BEHIND YOU WHO
00:40:49ARE HELPING YOU TO RUN YOUR COMPANY, WHICH. >> YOU TRAIN THEM WELL, MARK,
00:40:52YOU TRAIN THEM WELL. >> TRYING TO DO MY BEST TO HELP
00:40:55THE WHOLE INDUSTRY. YOU KNOW I
00:41:00MEASURE MYSELF BY HOW MANY CEOS,
00:41:01CEOS, AND CROS ARE IN OTHER
00:41:04COMPANIES THAT ALL CAME FROM SALESFORCE. >> YOU. >> DO A FANTASTIC JOB OF THAT.
00:41:08NO, TRULY, TRULY YOU DO.
00:41:11>> THANK YOU. BUT WHAT I WANT TO
00:41:12SAY IS THIS. I, I WANT TO SAY,
00:41:15YOU KNOW, YES, WE HAVE TO KEEP OUR EYE ON THE PACE OF AI. YOU
00:41:19KNOW, IT'S BEEN AMAZING WHAT'S HAPPENED OVER TEN YEARS. NO ONE
00:41:21COULD HAVE WRITTEN THE STORY.
00:41:24NOW, THESE INTERFACES ARE TRULY AMAZING. THE DEMO WE JUST SAW IS
00:41:28REMARKABLE. I THINK EVERY CUSTOMER HERE WANTS TO HAVE THAT
00:41:31SAME INTERFACE ON ALL OF THEIR SYSTEMS. EVERYBODY WANTS TO
00:41:35UNLOCK THE TRAPPED VALUE, YOU
00:41:38KNOW WHAT, WHAT IS YOUR KIND OF RECOMMENDATION FOR EVERYONE IN
00:41:41THIS ROOM? AND THE VIRTUAL ROOM? OBVIOUSLY, YOU CAN SEE WE HAVE TEN, 000 PEOPLE ALL OVER THIS
00:41:45ROOM, BUT 10 MILLION JOINING US
00:41:48ONLINE. YOU KNOW, WHAT ACTIONS DO YOU WANT US TO TAKE?
00:41:52>> YEAH. SO, YOU KNOW, I WOULD,
00:41:53I WOULD JUST SAY, WHEN I LOOK AT
00:41:57THE TECHNOLOGY VERSUS HOW MUCH
