our attorney general be joining us in pam bondi and former chair for the republican an in our nation's attorney general andio president trump in a couple hours. i will kick off with attorney general marshall one of our previous chairs to talk about what is going to work with the trump administration to keep america safe. general marshall. a good morning. it is a pleasure to be able to join our dear friend attorney general pam bondi today along with president trump to have a candid discussion about crime in our country and what this administration and their partnership are going to do to make our communities safer. we need to look back to the first trump administration to know the value of the cooperation of federal and state law enforcement and the difference it makes. i've been a prosecutor now for almost 30 years and never in my lifetime has a prosecutor did i see a collaborative and cooperative efforts between federal and state law enforcement to deal with crime. we made significant gains and we were able to take violent felons off of our streets and sadly the new administration did

and a lot of this started before attorney general pam bondi took office.has endorsed all of those moves. she endorsed the decision to drop charges against the mayor of new york in what she acknowledged was a bid to have him engage more in immigration enforcement. and she has celebrated the firings, for example, of prosecutors who worked on the jack smith team. and so i think what we can expect today is donald trump to talk in part about his law and order agenda, because they've also changed a lot of policy decisions here at the doj, put more of an emphasis on immigration enforcement and going after the cartels, that this is an extreme version of what we see in other administrations. but that's normal. that's within the bounds of american politics. presidents have a right to direct their doj to towards different priorities. what's not normal? what we've never seen is this purge of career civil servants here at the justice department. it's one thing to take out the political appointees that happens in every administration. but the heads of all the major sect

he is personally close with pam bondi and deputy attorney general todd blanche. a.j. ear she is here to enact his agenda. we will hear about weaponization of government and stopping the weaponization on both sides and battling violent crime. it did dip down the last few months of the biden administration but not enough to the level that this administration wants to see. as we wait for president trump momentarily to make it into the great hall of the justice department. martha? >> martha: great. we understand palm -- pam bondi will be the attorney general introducing the president. we will watch that live. don't go away. david will watch that with us. president trump's visit to the doj happening at a time when federal courts are pushing back on his effort to slash the size of federal government. at senior white house correspondent jackie heinrich joins us now reporting from the north lawn. hi jackie. >> reporter: hi it. calling the rulings out of california and maryland unconstitutional. saying low-level judges cannot usurp the president authority to hire and fire perso

they're doing it very stealthily by having ed martin's deputy and pam bondi's brother run for leadership that. i'm sure nobody will notice. is it the bondi as in bondi? yeah, same last name. you might think that developments like this might create a real sense of turmoil, a hunkering down, maybe, or at least a lot of renewed hard work at the justice department. but let's look at what attorney general pam bondi has been up to in the midst of this mess. you might recall that last week, trump signed an executive order to punish a particular law firm because that law firm has done work for democrats. among other things, trump's executive order would block anyone from that law firm, from entering federal courthouses, which might make it difficult to be a lawyer in washington, d.c. i'm just saying the law firm naturally sued. and because the case was so important to trump, and potentially because it was difficult to find any career prosecutors who really wanted to defend it, attorney general pam bondi sent her own chief of staff, the attorney general's chief of staff, to argue the case himself

and you mentioned pam bondi is if he had this same lineup in place, from kash patel to pam bondi to pete hegseth to emil beauvais in place in the power centers of the government in in late 2020 and early 2021, there would never have been a biden presidency, right? >> that's why he is recast for the sequel. all right, don't go anywhere. vaughn, mary, skye and george, they are all staying with me for much more on donald trump and this unprecedented trump and this unprecedented legal moment. we're going to 7 million us businesses rely on tiktok to compete. within a week of posting, i had over $25,000 in sales. small businesses thrive on tiktok. tiktok brings in so much foot traffic. i need tiktok to keep growing. i take qunol turmeric because it helps with healthy joints and inflammation support. why qunol has superior absorption compared to regular turmeric qunol the brand i trust. >> oh. >> i hate these things. >> yeah. >> sometimes you just want a human. >> can we get a human. >> over here? >> that's one of the great things about consumer cellular. they're 100% us based. customer service

pam bondi wants.e start to say. >> those people aren't. >> terrorists. >> like that's. >> an act of. >> civil disobedience. arson is not an act. >> of. >> civil disobedience. that is a violent crime. is it appropriate to increase penalties? no, it's not. it is out of line, as you say. you say. >> that as. >> a lawyer, but do not. be lured into the trap. i say, of defending criminals. >> that is, it is they are. >> behaving unacceptably. but also be clear. >> about the. >> fight we're in and that the terms they are trying to. >> establish here, that's the trap with the venezuelans. maria. right. so what was the first thing out of the gate when people were like, you know, no, the judge said, turn around. oh, so you're you're defending terrorists. you don't want us to keep bad people out of our country. >> right? >> and that, i mean, that is the traps are the ones because, look, the american people voted that they wanted a safer country, that they didn't want violent crime, and that it was hung at the fe

attorney general pam bondi is now taking massive action.will tell you what she did and reaction from nicole parker, gregg jarrett straight aheadall. it was the hardest i had ever worked, and covid hit. i felt like it could be the end of dan-o's, but then i had the tiktok viral video, and i never looked back. tiktok helped dan-o's grow from a one man show to 45 team members in louisville, kentucky. now we're going to be in 20,000 grocery stores nationwide. (♪) jorge has always put the ones he loves first. but when it comes to caring for his teeth he's let his own maintenance take a back seat. well maybe it's time to shift gears on that. aspen dental has complete, affordable care all under one roof. plus, free exams and x-rays for new patients without insurance and 20% off treatment plans for everyone. making it easier to get started with quality care. it's one more way aspen dental is in your corner. need hair growth? force factor hair growth accelerator promotes thicker, fuller healthier hair in just three weeks. hair growth accelerator is

and more to the point, it's not up to pam bondi. it's not up to stephen miller. it's not up to tom homan whether judges can decide this or not, they can argue that for sure. it's up to the judges themselves. one more thing about judge boasberg he has decided almost nothing of substance in this case. for all the attacks coming at him from donald trump, he has made no ruling about the act itself. all he is trying to do is get the answers to know whether doj defied him or not. all he has done is said what every judge in this situation would say. let's pause where we're at and let's take a couple of days so we can figure this out. and you see the avalanche that's hit him. >> how much does all this defiance, how much will it ultimately matter when it gets to an appellate court, when it gets to the supreme court? >> well, defiance of courts is not generally smiled upon in the courts. but look, i think judges and i think judge boasberg is a good example of this. they the good ones and most all of them are good. they don't hold grudges. but boy, the problem is you sacrif

and attorney general pam bondi now calling the attacks domestic terrorism. and what elon musk says the company is now doing. here's our chief investigative correspondent aaron katersky tonight. >> reporter: tonight, elon musk says his company is stepping up security after a wave of fire bombings, shootings, and vandalism targeting tesla. as part of the enhanced security, tesla is activating sentry mode on every car in the dealership. that means security sensors and cameras are on and recording. watch as sentry mode is activated on this tesla this week. a man seen allegedly keying the car in a parking lot in san jose was arrested and charged with felony vandalism. today, attorney general pam bondi said those charged with destroying tesla property are part of a wave of domestic terrorism. prosecutors said a suspect arrested for throwing molotov cocktails at a dealership in oregon was armed with a high powered rifle. prosecutors said another suspect who allegedly tried to set fire to teslas in loveland, colorado, was found with materials to produce fire bombs.

she is doing a hell of a job, pam bondi. secretary of energy -- he is a good job.il is going down. $65 a barrel. you are doing better because everything else is going to be coming down and those expensive goods, they are all coming down. energy. great job you are doing with our friend, right? h.u.d. secretary, scott turner, you are not irish. you are not irish. how much irish do you have in you, sean? he said zero. secretary of veterans affairs, doug collins. you're irish. e.p.a. administrator, lee zeldin. one of the most important. he is going to get those aprovals, a nuclear power plant will take less than two weeks. used to take 15 years. u.s. trade representatives jamison greer. thank you. and i also -- there is a very special man here i have been watching a long time, one of the greatest dancers in the world, michael flatly. nobody like this guy. i have watched him radio city. and his feet, i don't know how you do it. can you still dance like that or has father time caught up? father time has never lost. representatives john maguire. bill hewseninger. doc. joh

is his and personally close with attorney general pam bondi. they are friends going back several years and she made it clear she is here to enact his agenda. >> he has never been to the department of justice and it's a right. i can't wait for him to be there to show that he is going to make america safe and been making america safe. just since he has been in office. >> and the big focus will be on the weaponization of justice. perceived weaponization of justice, battling violent crime. numbers went down last year in the biden administration. d.o.j. and president want to see those numbers go down even more. a big day, momentous day at the justice department, no question. >> dana: keep us posted on all that. thank you. [shouting and chanting] >> bill: wild scene happened at noon yesterday, about 100 anti-israel protestors arrested for taking over the lobby of trump tower. the latest in a series of protests targeting trump and conservatives. lucas tomlinson live in d.c. on that and more. >> that scrum in trump tower the latest example of noisy pro

the attorney general, pam bondi, is now taking massive action. we're going to tell you what she did. we'll get reaction from nicole parker gregg jarrett straight ahead. >> poor guy is always put the ones he loves first. but when it comes to caring for his teeth, he's let his own maintenance take a back seat. well, maybe it's time to shift gears on that. aspen dental has complete affordable care all under one roof. plus free exams and x-rays for new patients without insurance and 20% off treatment plans for everyone, making it easier to get started with quality care. it's one more way. aspen dental is in your corner, baby. >> my heart is burning. but it. >> don't burn with love. but i got cigarettes. >> i'm gonna. >> stop that heart burn before it starts. >> cigarette combines two. ingredients to block acid that causes heartburn for. >> 24 hours. >> zegerid feel. >> the difference. >> completely out of space in. >> your garage. >> stressed about a move. >> my college hawks. >> com has your answer. >> no job is too big or too small. get $25 off mov

companies who pay bribes. >> so barrett, nbc news is reporting on how attorney general pam bondi seems to be promoting trump's agenda. quote, the trump administration, with bondi's help, appears to be seeking to transform the justice department into a political instrument of the president, something that no republican or democratic administration has done since then-president richard nixon. i mean, barrett, you were a federal prosecutor. your thoughts about what you witnessed today? >> i mean, it's very. interesting to hear. the president call himself the chief. law enforcement officer, because that. >> actually is. >> the role. >> of the attorney general. >> it's interesting to me that pam bondi would just cede this role to the president. and the reason that folks like us that have worked in the department of justice are so surprised by the president's speech, is because we never heard from the president when we worked in the department of justice. in fact, not only was it that the presidents weren't coming to give us this face to face talk, we didn't hear their names bandied about be

attorney general pam bondi promises the guilty parties are going to pay. >> they are targeting tesla owners and dealerships. they are targeting elon musk out there trying to stave our country and it will be not tolerated. we are coming at after you. we will find you. if you are an organized group funding this we'll find you, too. >> harris: karoline leavitt says it is time for people to speak out and points out the glaring double standard. >> despicable violence taking place against tesla, companies, employees and americans who have chosen to drive an electric vehicle. many of them are democrats, by the way. democrats were big supporters of tesla and of electric vehicles until elon musk decided to vote for donald trump. we would like democrats to also come out and condemn this heinous violence we've seen. >> harris: we're about to hear directly from karoline leavitt in "focus" with me coming up next. let's go to senior correspondent alicia acuna. >> there is a website now that says it is posting names, addresses and phone numbers of tesla owners and encouraging folks to vandalize in

and, first of all, let me just say god bless pam bondi. right on the sanctuary is city issue. there's a whole new team in town as the country can see. eight weeks, what president trump's done to secure the border and now the action a on sanctuary cities and pam bondi saying you're not going to get the money, and if you're assisting or making it tough for federal law enforcement to do their job, there are going to be implications, maybe even processes. god bless her for the -- prosecutions. god bless her. we sent subpoenas to director patel. he's already started to comply. what a contrast with chris wray and merrick garland and that crazy justice department under the biden administration. he's sent us information on the school boards issue, why were you investigating moms and dads showing up to speak up for their kids at a school board meeting, the catholic memorandum where they said if you're a pro-life catholic, somehow you're an extremist. we have asked for information regarding the 26 confidential human sources -- to me, this is huge. 2

pam bondi is so fantastic.nt to have safety in our cities as well as our communities and we will be talking about immigration and a lot of things. the complete gamut. >> sandra: president trump ready for his big speech this afternoon at the justice department, joined by the attorney general bondi and fbi director kash patel. our next guest will attend that speech. fox news political analyst gianno caldwell joins us now. >> good to be with you. >> sandra: set our expectations for this speech and the importance of it. >> first and foremost i echo the president's sentiments on pam body, she was an excellent choice for attorney general and someone who is very focused on enforcing law and order so that is what i expect here from president trump today. i specked him to talk about crime and the plan. we know the numbers have gone down just slightly from the border and the fact many folks are coming over here which we know a lot of folks were criminals and you can see that come over 70% of the folks that have been depo

pam bondi's bust.cars or the tesla dealerships. domestic terrorism has become a big with issue. and so much of this -- and i want to just say, i want to get your take on domestic terror the itch. but, you know, i don't see -- terrorism, i don't see democratic leaders, i don't mean crazy whack jobs, just democrat leaders in general, standing up for domestic terrorism. this will just sink the democratic party lower and lower, many any view. domestic terrorism and the bondi bust, what you make of it? >> aam so pleased with the -- i am so pleased with the work a.g. bondi is doing. she is not wasting time, she is taking action. in going after these individuals that are carrying out these attacks against tesla dealerships and destroying property and harming people, larry, this is something that the department of justice should be on. and these people need to be the apprehended, they need to be punished to the full extent of the law. and democratic leaders in this country need to stand up and say, this is wro

pam bondi, i don't know. are you irish? are you irish with that name? i can't figure that out.'s doing a hell of a job, i'll tell you that attorney general pam bondi, secretary of energy. secretary of energy chris wright, and you're doing a good job. you see, the oil is going down. it's going down $65 a barrel today. you're doing better than i even thought because everything else is going to be coming down with it. all those expensive goods that you had to suffer with for four years are all coming down. energy leads the way. thank you. good job you're doing with our friend, right? hud secretary scott turner, you're not irish, scott. give me a break, scott. you know, i want to be politically correct and not mention it, but i'm going to say how much irish do you have in you, sean? i don't know. he said 0. that's right. secretary of veterans affairs doug collins. doug, thank you, doug. you're irish. epa administrator lee zeldin, he's one of the most important. he's going to get those approvals. a nuclear power plant will take less than 2 weeks to get approved, right, lee? it used

pam bondi said this on the will cain show moments ago. >> we have charged multiple people. or are coming. one will be charged in oregon is facing five to 20 years in prison. we filed in colorado and south carolina. there are more coming and the funding is one thing we are looking at among many others. we believe these are organized. these are not individuals out there doing this on their own. >> did you think this was going to happen? liberals hating electric cars. >> so now you've got the climate fanatics attacking the leading electric vehicle company that really pioneered it for the whole industry. what are they going to be doing next? firebombing abortion clinics. it shows you that they don't really have any convictions or principles other than hating donald trump. secondly isn't it great to see pam bondi there and the attorney general speaking so clearly and forcefully that it's political violence. there is no other way of describing it and it won't be tolerated. >> trace: you've got this fighting in the democratic party and one of the leaders of the democratic party is

pam bondi has arrested three people. they stand to be in jail, i don't know to 20 years. but you see this across the board, a lot of other things, that the justice department and fbi have to go after. the democrats, i'm not saying every democrat is in favor of violent aimed at elon musk and tesla. or this the business about swats that is . -- i don't see any major league democratic leaders standing up and condemning any of this political terrorism or violence this is it. no one in part no party leaders standing up. and i think in will cost them millions of votes. >> right. all about leadership, i have been swatted twice myself, and it is not a good situation. end of the day, if you look at what 2018 and 2019, and some in 20. we know what happening here, they will push the agenda, they are trying to slow president trump's agenda getting elon musk hit, that is not happening, it is same group, same people, most of them are getting paid, but domestic terrorism brings a new light to subject we'll see how this works out, if some of them get arrested, and end up going to jail. l

cannon house office building i want to get to this issue, pam bondi says activist judges are trying tool the federal government, listen to this. >> they have filed to put it in perspective since donald trump has been in office 160 lawsuits. they've filed in the month of february, they have over 14 injunctions, more than biden's and higher term. these activist judges are trying to control our entire federal government, trying to control our money, epa, usaid, judge ruben trying to control the department of education, other judges trying to control our >> she has a point but the republican party needs a better answer than the one they are floating. getting to impeachment when it comes to these judges is not realistic given the makeup of the senate, i'm in favor of impeaching more judges, the first impeachment under the american founding was a judge who simply was drunk on the job. think about high crimes and misdemeanors, not able to function. they need to start looking hard to eliminate some of these district courts, they are not in the constitution, they can be undone by congress. cann

. >> pam bondi. >> so the president. >> is speaking and. >> the president appears to be. >> speaking to. >> a hand-selected group of people that he views as his supporters. >> and allies. >> he's not speaking to the workforce. he's speaking to the individuals who. have have supported. him and who he is using to implement his his view. and i think that that is more significant from compared to the parts i've heard than anything that i've heard him actually say today. that's so interesting and an incredible insight. do you have any idea or any knowledge as to how this group was selected? i don't andrew weissman, can you jump in on that? and the extraordinary nature of what elizabeth is saying as, as well as singling out people and naming them as enemies in front of a select group of doj employees. >> so i just want to foot stomp on what's. being said, because if you remember when pam bondi, the attorney general, was being considered for her position, she talked about and she she mouthed the right words about independence of the department of justice, but in very short order, we saw the

and we start with somebody that you just saw, pam bondi. she's extraordinary. i've known her very well for a long time. i watched her for a long time in florida, for years in florida, and highly experienced. she seems so young, but she's highly experienced that i can tell you she was a phenomenal attorney general in florida, and she's going to do a really amazing job. also, our new director of the fbi, kash patel kash, right. a man that i'm very proud of, i've known him and amel for a long time under a tremendous pressure. i saw these guys under some of the most corrupt judges. i've. it's not even imaginable how corrupt they were. and these guys never wilted. they never they were no blanche and principal associate deputy attorney emil bove. and thank you both very much. great, great people. a great people. the chief of staff who's so tnk you, chad. our next administrator of the dea, terry cole. terry. thank you terry. good luck. you're going to do great. senior counsel to the assistant attorney general for civil rights. boy, i've been watching him on television

in yesterday's filing to the judge, attorney general pam bondi and top. justice department officials wrote that they may invoke state secrets privilege to prevent the judge from seeing specific information about two of these planes. the judge has given. >> the. >> doj until noon eastern today to officially answer his questions. >> or to invoke the state. >> secrets doctrine and explain why they're doing it. what's the basis for that? >> meanwhile, the attorney general yesterday was very critical. >> of that judge. in an interview with fox news. >> this judge has no right to ask those questions. you have. one unelected federal judge trying to control foreign policies, trying to control the alien enemies act, which they have no business presiding over. the judge. had no business, no power to do what he did. this judge had no right to do that. they're meddling. >> in. >> foreign affairs. >> they're meddling. >> in our government. >> and the question. >> should be, why is the judge trying to protect terrorists who have invaded our country over american citize

president of the united states and perhaps from republicans in congress. >> mary, going back to pam bondi's little clip there, right out of the gate, you have an unelected federal judge who the hell she thinks the supreme court is? i mean, pam, do you understand how how our federal judiciary work? i mean, what is what is i mean, this is the part that is so galling offensive to me is that these people act like that. the rest of us are just like, oh, okay, whatever you say. it must be the way it is. >> and it's also to come from somebody purely political. it would be. wrong because it ignores we have three branches of government, as eugene was talking about earlier, but this is coming from somebody who is now the attorney general of the united states of america. the job there, right, is to be the chief litigator for the united states. that means. bringing criminal prosecutions. that means defending the government in civil actions gets where all of those cases are in front of judges. i mean, that is where that is where the work happens. that is what they do. and so to suggest, but this is what

attorney general pam bondi's calling these acts of vandalism, domestic terrorism. >> some at the court as he reports. >> tesla's are being torched across the country. dealerships shot up and set on fire. >> spray paint to vandalize and make a statement. people in southern california are getting notes on their tesla's calling them complicit nazis for owning electric cars. let's figure out other ways you know, >> dealing with it. >> people are protesting elon musk's role within president trump's white house leading the department of government efficiency's cuts to federal spending. we think it's despicable what is happening to not just this american company, but also they're innocent employees and again, innocent americans who drive these vehicles. we condemn it wholeheartedly. attorney general pam bondi called tesla vandalism, domestic terrorism, retired fbi agent ken great agrees. individuals who are only in tesla's. >> through this doge requests may find their property being destroyed or at least damage by people for political purposes. so this really is domestic terrorism. >> former

. >> good morning, it is a pleasure to be able to join our dear friends attorney general pam bondi today to have a very transparent and d candid conversation about crime in our country and what this administration and their partnership to make our communities wsafer. we need to look back to the first trump administration to know the value of the cooperation both federal and state law enforcement and the difference it makes i've been a prosecutor for almost 30 years and never in my lifetime as a prosecutor did i see the collaborative and cooperative efforts enbetween federal and state law enforcement deal with gun crimes on our street. we made significant gains and able to think violent streets and sadly the new administration did dinot for th effort seemingly president trump's, speak very candidly and strongly today about what's next and one thing i appreciate with regard to fentanyl crossing our points of entry. i know that because fentanyl is more expensive now which means we are doing a better job of stopping the cartel supply coming across the country. wanting things that we are seei

pam bondi says they've invaded our country, she's talking about tren de aragua.stion is who in the world wants these people here? people clearly want them to stay and nobody understands why so who is the authority that oversees these judges that can keep these people in the country? >> the authority that's overseeing the judges is congress or the d.c. circuit particularly to boalsburg. i don't know an american citizen that wants these illegal criminals and our country. i think this is the democrat party platform running away with the idea that anything pro-trump is there platform. i don't think that they will have an issue upholding this in a supreme court and tren de aragua will remain in el salvador for the foreseeable future. >> trace: thank you, we appreciated. up next and update to the breaking news we brought to you. it appears the cease-fire between israel and hamas is over. and president trump will speak with vladimir putin tomorrow. the breaking details on that our next. don't go away. lar. because you are greater than your bipolar 1 and you can help tak

attorney general attorney general pam bondi ag great to have you this morning.ks, maria, great to be with you -- >>, of course, you sat and testified under oath to the senate judiciary committee same thing that you would only follow the facts and the law tell us how you will deweaponize the doj. >> well, maria, we've been hearing it since day one going to continue to do that president trump's mission was very clear his directive make america safe again, that is what we're going to do, no more weaponization going back to fighting biefk crime cartels out of our country by securing our borders prosecuting the worst of the worst seizing drugs president trump directed to us do since second he has been in office, lock up the violent criminals, as long as we can, behind bars, or seek death penalty, we've signed death warrants since in office not business as usual going back to say basics fighting violent crime taking drugs, off the streets is the main component of keeping our kids safe. >> thank you for that because people have been afraid to walk the streets, they hav

i give pam bondi for punishing these individuals.e they show symbolism if they do this they will be punished and there will be accountability for this. this has to stop. democrats have to stand up and fight against this terrorist activity that these individuals are doing. >> bill: i think that will be the next page in the story, i do believe. nice to see you today, kevin. you are enjoying the sunshine of florida. enjoy it, thank you. >> dana: former football coach at michigan university facing charges in a massive hacking scandal targeting students. whenever heartburn strikes, get fast relief with tums. it's time to love food back. also try tums gummy bites! baby: liberty! mom: liberty mutual is all she talks about since we saved hundreds by bundling our home and auto insurance. biberty: it's pronounced "biberty." baby: liberty! biberty: biberty! baby: liberty! biberty: nice try, kid. only pay for what you need ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ baby: liberty. since starting the farmer's dog, bogart has lost so much weight. and he has so

respond to pam bondi.uest: to be very clear about what we are talking about, the folks who were put on an airplane on saturday were already in immigration detention. they were not posing any threat to the public at the time they were placed on these airplanes. we now know thanks to reporting in the new york times yesterday that for a number of these folks they were being held without any criminal conviction, without any proof that they are members of the gang at the heart of all of this. part of the problem is we have due process in this country so that we can be confident that when the government whisks individuals to other countries, they are who the government says they are. host: we have due process for undocumented immigrants? guest: absolutely. if we did not, you could execute people and we don't do that. how can you be sure that they are undocumented immigrants? just by looking at them? even in prior declared wars when the government used the alien enemy act during the war of 1812, world war i and w
