00:02Today is a great day for the rule of law.

00:05It's a great day for the Justice Department.

00:07And it's one that's been a long time coming and one that every American should have been

00:12waiting for with bated breath.

00:14And so I echo what the president said and Attorney General Bondi, that the Supreme Court

00:18did a great thing today, not only for this administration, but for every American in

00:24this country.

00:26If not for the injunctions case, we would be here talking about another great decision

00:30that came down today, the trans books case, which restores parents' rights to decide their

00:34child's education.

00:36Seems like a basic idea, but it took the Supreme Court to set the record state and we thank

00:41them for that.

00:42And now that ruling allows parents to opt out of dangerous trans ideology and make the decisions

00:49for their children that they believe is correct.

00:51And so we thank the Supreme Court for that.

00:53There's been multiple decisions over the past several weeks that just show why this injunction,

01:00why this nationwide injunction ban had to happen.

01:03For example, what I mean by that is local district court judges issuing decisions that are clearly

01:08contrary to law just because they don't like the policy of President Trump.

01:12And when it gets to the Supreme Court, the Supreme Court has to correct it.

01:15But that takes time.

01:17The Attorney General thanked our lawyers, and I'll do it again.

01:21Our lawyers are working 24 hours a day, seven days a week to fight these injunctions and

01:26to emergency appeals, emergency stays, going back to the district court judge, asking them

01:30to change their view.

01:32And so their hard work is really paying off today, but over the past few weeks.

01:36We had a stay of an order that prevented DHS from moving aliens to a third country.

01:41We had a stay of an order that stopped the Department of Defense from implementing military

01:46readiness, the EO that President Trump signed.

01:49We had another stay of an order forcing reinstatement of fired executive branch employees entirely

01:54within the president and Article 2, his right to do.

01:57We had a stay of, as you all know, of numerous doge cases.

02:01And again, every one of those stays requires a tremendous amount of work and effort by the

02:06lawyers and parties involved, and they should be doing other work.

02:10They should be doing the work that the president and this administration demands and has a right

02:15to demand, and not fighting these local judges who don't make decisions based on the law.

02:22They make decisions because they just simply don't agree with the administration's decision

02:25about a policy, and that's wrong.
