00:00Madam Attorney General, on this matter of fentanyl, which is a priority, clearly, with the E.A. and the Department of Justice,

00:06are you confident you're going to still be here to execute this because there's so many people calling for change at the Department of Justice?

00:14I'm going to be here for as long as the President wants me here, and I believe he's made that crystal clear.

00:18It's four years. Well, three and a half now, right? We've got six months in.

00:22It's been going very fast.

00:23Yeah, it feels like six years.

00:25But I was with Director Patel this morning, and we are working on fighting violent crime.

00:29We are working on all these issues that we deeply care about to make America safe again and get these drugs off our streets.

00:38You know, we've been working on this since my really last two years.

00:42Fentanyl was coming on the market when I was State Attorney General.

00:45And now, with these cartels, it's coming back.

00:49It's coming in more than ever.

00:50And the border has stopped that, but we're going to catch them,

00:54and we're going to prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law.

00:57Yes, sir.

00:57Is there a disruption at the leadership of DOJ and the FBI with your relationship with Dan Bongino that is affecting the operations of the DOJ?

01:09No, I'm not going to talk about personnel matters.

01:11No, I was with Director Patel all morning, and we are committed to keeping America safe,

01:16making America safe, working with our incredible partners at DEA, FBI, ATF, U.S. Marshals to do everything we can to make America safe.

01:28And that's what we're focused on, and today, we're focused on protecting our kids.

01:33And I would ask all of you, when you leave, go look at that wall outside, right outside this room,

01:38of all the fentanyl deaths, all the faces of fentanyl that you guys, you have done an amazing job putting up.

01:45Thank you all.
