| Gotcha. | ||

|
I won't play politics with any ongoing investigation, like you did leaking your colleague Devin Nunes' memo. | |
| I will look at every file I am asked to look at. | ||
| Of course you won't. | ||
| So will you advise the president? | ||
| Can I answer the question? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I would have plenty of staff. | |
| You said, of course you want? | ||
|
unidentified
|
You'll be able to review hundreds of cases on the first day? | |
| Listen, I'm not going to mislead this body, nor you. | ||
|
unidentified
|
All right, let me ask another question. | |
| You don't want to ask that. | ||
| Let me ask another question. | ||
| You were censured by Congress, Senator, for comments just like this that are so reckless. | ||
| Piece of shift. | ||
| Look, every part of that is just endlessly absurd. | ||
| The Attorney General is basically the country's top lawyer, in essence. | ||
| You want to make sure that the states are operating within the boundaries of the law. | ||
| I love the fact that she's like, 87% crime rise, your place, Cali, what are you doing about that, right? | ||
| You're a congressman from Cali, shouldn't you be interested in that? | ||
| And of course they want to do the election thing. | ||
| It's nonsense. | ||
| There's just no reason to believe she wouldn't act within the confines of the law or if she felt. | ||
| I mean, it's literally your duty as attorney general. | ||
| If you feel... | ||
| That the President of the United States, via executive action or some other means, is going to do something that is illegal, not within the confines of the law. | ||
| It's your job as the Attorney General to tell them about that. | ||
| So it's just gotcha bullshit. | ||
| And of course, this guy who was in charge of the Russia hoax, I mean, he basically was in charge of the Russia hoax. | ||
| She talks about the leaked memo to Nunes. | ||
| You get it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You get it. | |
| Here she is on Hannity last year, and you'll see why a certain set of people don't like her very much. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Pam Bondi and criminal defense attorney Mark Garagos. | |
| Good to have you both. | ||
| Pam, let's get your take on this release. | ||
| What does it mean to you? | ||
| Well, it's trickled out, Sean. | ||
| It's trickling out. | ||
| First of all, it should have come out a long time ago. | ||
| Professor Dershowitz wanted it out. | ||
| And by the way, he is one of the best attorneys in this country. | ||
| I know him. | ||
| I know his wife. | ||
| That's a great family, and they've been dragged through hell on this. | ||
| I want to know why A.G. Garland and the Justice Department are so quiet on this tonight. | ||
| You know, they're out there labeling parents domestic terrorists, yet they're saying nothing about this. | ||
| And these documents were so slow. | ||
| Human trafficking is a multi-billion dollar business in this country. | ||
| And Jeffrey Epstein is dead. | ||
| And Ghirlane Maxwell is in prison for 20 years where she belongs. | ||
| And if people in that report are still fighting to keep their names private, Sean, they have no legal basis to do so unless they're a child, a victim. | ||
| Or a cooperating defendant by some chance against some potential case against Ghirlane Maxwell. | ||
| And I think Mark Garagos, as a great criminal defense attorney, will back that up as well. | ||
|
unidentified
|
All right. | |
| So the point there, of course, is that you can clearly see that this is someone who knows the law, who knows what the right issues are, who can communicate it properly on television, who looks good and is ready to fight. | ||
| And that is, of course, why they hate her. | ||
| However, one way or another, she has been confirmed and she is the new Attorney General of the United States. | ||
| I want to end with this because, look, we started with, there's so much goodness happening right now. | ||
| It's incredible. | ||
| And there will always be a certain amount of hysteria to push back on the goodness. | ||
| They will always do awful things and try to burn things down and they will gaslight you and all of those things. | ||
| But as what I said before was about 70% of us just keep building and dreaming and pushing our way to the future and redefine what America is in this unbelievable time of opportunity, good people are going to find each other. | ||
| And I just absolutely love this story. | ||
| Check this out from the Free Press. | ||
| In less than two months, Daniel Penny has gone from facing a potential 20 years in prison to landing a role at Andreessen Horowitz, the premier investment firm in Silicon Valley. | ||
| In an internal statement seen by the Free Press, David Ulovich, a general partner at the firm, confirmed the hire. | ||
| He will learn the business of investing and he will work to support our portfolio companies, wrote Ulovich in a note sent to all employees this afternoon. | ||
| Mark Andreessen and Ben Horowitz, the firm's founders, are among the high-profile Silicon Valley leaders who came out for Trump ahead of last November's election. | ||
| We believe in Daniel and are excited to have him as part of our team, Olavich said in the notes. | ||
| So, of course, Daniel Penny. | ||
| You remember the Daniel Penny story. | ||
| He was... | ||
| The good Samaritan, who was painted as a white supremacist and a neo-Nazi and everything else, who when Jordan Neely, a homeless man, started screaming at and violently threatening a bunch of women and children on a subway, he's the one that put him in the chokehold. | ||
| He eventually died. | ||
| But we're all told, see something, say something. | ||
| Daniel Penny did the right thing and stopped someone who was literally threatening children and women. | ||
| Now, if those children and women had been stabbed and murdered, suddenly the left... | ||
| It would have been quiet on that because it wouldn't have worked. | ||
| It's like, oh, a black homeless guy, blah, blah, blah, but he was white and you get how the narrative works. | ||
| Here he is talking about why he did what he did. | ||
|

|
I mean, I'm not a confrontational person. | |
| I don't really extend myself. | ||
| This type of thing is very uncomfortable. | ||
| All this attention and limelight is very uncomfortable and I would prefer without it. | ||
| I didn't want any type of attention or praise. | ||
| And I still don't. | ||
| The guilt I would have felt if someone did get hurt, if he did do what he was threatening to do, would never be able to live with myself. | ||
| And I'll take a million court appearances and people calling me names and people hating me just to... | ||
| Keep one of those people from getting hurt or killed. | ||
| Does that guy seem like the bad guy? | ||
| That guy was facing 20 years in prison. | ||
| That guy did not wake up that morning thinking he was going to have to do anything. | ||
| But most of us, when bad things are happening, do absolutely nothing. | ||
| And he didn't. | ||
| He almost got destroyed for it. | ||
| But what's the point of all of that? | ||
| The point of all of that is if you do the right thing. | ||
| You can get rewarded. | ||
| Maybe you can't see it in the immediate moment, but now he's going to be working at one of the premier VCs in the entire country, and that's pretty spectacular. | ||
| And speaking of pretty spectacular, we will end on this. | ||
| Not a big hockey guy, but the Florida Panthers. | ||
| I do love Florida. | ||
| The Florida Panthers won the NHL. I believe they call it the Stanley Cup. | ||
| Wait a minute. | ||
| Stanley Cup? | ||
| Is that why that cup company is called Stanley? | ||
| That everyone's drinking those Stanley mugs? | ||
| Could there be a connection there? | ||
| Has anyone? | ||
| I just got a lot of shrugs. | ||
| Nobody knows. | ||
| Everyone's drinking that Stanley. | ||
| You see everybody with the Stanley. | ||
| All right, well, I don't know if there's a connection there. | ||
| But here is Panthers forward Matthew Tukachuk, I think I got his name right, at the White House yesterday talking about how grateful he is to be an American. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you. | |
| Well, thank you, Mr. President, for having us today. | ||
| We greatly appreciate it. | ||
| And being one of the few Americans, you know, who loves this country so much, this is such an incredible day for myself. | ||
| And, you know, you wake up every day and I'm really grateful to be an American. | ||
| So thank you. | ||
| And that's it. | ||
| Grateful to be an American. | ||
| Be grateful. | ||
| As these dingbats are screaming about burn it down and get out on the streets. | ||
| They're upset that we're looking at where your money is going and everything else. | ||
| How about just be grateful to be an American and get on board this crazy train of people that should not be together in a traditional political sense, but all love the country and are putting some differences aside. | ||
| That would be... | ||
| Pretty sweet. | ||
| We have a great cold close for you that Joseph just put together during the show in light of one of the clips. | ||
| I had an idea. | ||
| We just put it together. | ||
| I haven't even seen it yet. | ||
| And we've got a post-game show in 30 seconds. | ||
| RubenReport.Locals.com And I will be giving away the Samizat Award tonight. | ||
| Real Clear Politics in West Palm Beach at the Breakers to Linda Iaccarino. | ||
| Who's the CEO of Twitter, and to my friend Abigail Schreier, and to Jonathan Turley. | ||
| We're doing that tonight, so I'm guessing that there's no tickets left, but we'll put video of it, and that's pretty good, so anyway. | ||
| All right, check out The Cold Clothes, and we'll see you on the other side, Joe. | ||

We get these animals out of our country. | |
| And you know, if you take the shooters, the people that hit old ladies in the back of the head with a baseball bat when they're not looking... | ||

|
Stop it! | |
| I want that ride, lady! | ||
| Someone help! |
