We've seen over 300 executive actions from the president, and our goal is to solidify these actions. We want to ensure that the next administration won't be able to easily undo the progress we've made.

As attorneys general, we will not yield to the President or Elon Musk. Musk currently operates without accountability, pushing for an ideological litmus test by pausing funds for essential services like Social Security, veteran payments, and state aid. This is unconstitutional and unacceptable. We are prepared to uphold the law against these overreaches of authority. We've already acted when birthright citizenship and NIH funding were challenged, securing temporary restraining orders (TROs). We also acted when funding was paused for agencies, meals on wheels, veteran services and law enforcement grants, securing TROs. We'll continue to challenge these actions in court to protect the Constitution, reminding the President, Musk, and others that our government is not unilateral. Congressional consent is required, and we are confident we'll obtain a preliminary injunction.

Discussion centers on crime in California and state leadership's enforcement actions. Speaker 0 asks if crime is a problem in California given a surge in state law enforcement. Speaker 1 replies that "crime is an issue and we want to tackle it, and we continue to do more in that space." "And we announced and highlighted some of the expansion." He adds that the efforts are "in partnership with our local communities" and "We did it in partnership with the Biden administration prior." He reiterates opposition to "the nationalization, the militarization of the guard in militarizing United States cities" and says "So quite the contrary." The exchange ends with a sign-off and a tease for CSPAN coverage, "First, at 4PM."

California is prepared to stand up for its values amidst the challenges posed by Trump's presidency. Despite the reasons behind his election, we face significant issues. California has made strides in protecting marriage equality, supporting LGBTQ families, safeguarding abortion rights, and enhancing climate laws, but more work lies ahead. The governor has called a special legislative session to ensure the attorney general has the necessary resources to challenge the Trump administration's legal actions against immigrants, LGBTQ individuals, and our environmental laws. While it's understandable to feel exhausted after recent events, we must regroup and continue fighting for democracy and inclusion for all. Let's unite and push forward together.

We plan to sue him and make things difficult. Challenging this illegitimate president is important. We must investigate Donald Trump and his finances. He is what drives me. I was instructed to sue him daily as attorney general and then go home.

A significant change in leadership is expected in the United States when President Trump is inaugurated on Monday. The administration plans to respond to a request from California regarding appropriations. New OMB Director Russ Vogt will collaborate with Congress to establish guidelines for California, ensuring accountability for managing resources to prevent future disasters, such as maintaining water reservoirs and clearing forest debris. There is a belief that Californians are beginning to recognize that their voting choices have contributed to the state's challenges. The hope is for a change in leadership that reflects the values of the state's residents, and Congress is prepared to assist responsibly.

Hello, friends. Recently, a Trump official issued a memorandum threatening local law enforcement with jail time if they don’t cooperate with federal immigration officials. However, there is no law requiring local officials to do so. Our state's resources should focus on state matters, not federal immigration enforcement. Local law enforcement should not act as agents for the Trump administration, which has previously lost in court trying to coerce states. I have no fear of the Trump administration. We will prioritize our state’s business and will not interfere with federal operations, but we will not carry out their demands. Thank you.

We have lawyers in all 50 states collaborating with civil rights organizations, governors, and mayors to combat right-wing extremism. Governors like Maura Healey of Massachusetts and Gavin Newsom of California are already taking a stand, similar to actions during the first Trump administration. Local leaders are uniting to resist federal government attacks on their communities, focusing on protecting not just immigrants but also dissidents and protesters targeted by Trump. We are actively working with these officials to create a protective barrier around our communities.

Trump is targeting Leticia James and Alvin Bragg, and his strategy involves denying federal grant money to Illinois and New York. The Justice Department is potentially holding up $8 billion that would have gone to New York State. Civil suits against the governor and attorney general are part of this plan. New York's mayor, Adams, is seen as inconsequential, while the real power lies in the state legislature, which opposes Homeland Security. After going after Pritzker in Illinois, Newsom in California is next. Trump aims to destroy James and Bragg, viewing it as payback for their crusade against him.

Some Democratic members of Congress are preparing for the possibility of litigation. They're considering if they have the best teams possible to carry out their work. Some Republicans may say that Democrats are weaponizing the Justice Department, citing Trump's trial as an example. But in the United States, we are judged by a jury of our peers. Trump was found guilty in court on 34 felony charges. It's hard to make a partisan argument against that.

This is about Trump wanting to get Leticia James and Alvin Bragg, and going after Illinois to get Pritzker by denying the states federal grant money. The Justice Department may hold up $8 billion from flowing into New York. Filing civil suits against the governor and attorney general is the way to do this. Adams, the mayor of New York, was left out because he doesn't matter. Adams may know where the bodies are buried with James and Bragg, but this is unconfirmed. Johnson and Adams have no power; they do what they're told. The state legislature holds the real power. Newsom in California is next and Pritzker is going to get destroyed. Trump will bring down Leticia James and Alvin Bragg because they went on a crusade to destroy him.

He plans to use the Department of Justice against his opponents, remove peaceful protesters, and possibly end the Constitution.

The pace is fast, and we're busy, but we're ready for more. We've been preparing for this moment for months, anticipating actions from the Trump administration, even before the inauguration. We're working as a team with attorneys general across the nation. We talk every day to address new actions and developments, and our staffs are constantly communicating. We deploy resources strategically, leveraging expertise from different AG's offices on issues like gun violence, LGBTQ rights, immigration, and the environment. The executive order challenging birthright citizenship was a clear constitutional overreach. We acted immediately, challenging it in court and successfully halting it. While the Supreme Court has a conservative majority, I'm confident they will uphold birthright citizenship because it is a clear constitutional right.

Big Tish James, the New York attorney general, should think carefully before continuing her legal actions against President Trump in his second term. There will be serious consequences for any violations of his constitutional rights or those of other Americans. This administration is different; we are prepared and will not tolerate any election rigging or illegal voting. The team is ready to take decisive action against any wrongdoing.

There are concerns that Donald Trump could misuse the doomsday book, a document meant to protect the country during foreign invasion or rebellion, for his own political gain. He could potentially use extraordinary powers to shut down companies, control the Internet, or deploy the military within the US. The American people are not widely aware of these emergency powers, which is worrisome. Trump could also weaponize government agencies like the Department of Education and the Department of Veterans Affairs to benefit his allies and harm his enemies, including people in blue states. The speaker recalls Trump's reluctance to provide emergency aid to blue states because he disliked them. In summary, the doomsday book poses a threat if Trump were to exploit its powers for personal or political reasons.

The speaker addresses criticism that the president's response to the LA protests was a calculated attempt to shift focus from a feud with Musk. The response rejects this, stating the president condemned violence stemming from Musk and reacted to images of border patrol and ICE agents being attacked with rocks and Molotov cocktails, vehicles burning, and illegal aliens flying foreign flags. This response is credited with reducing such images the following night. The speaker adds that the governor and mayor need to do more, criticizing Gavin Newsom's past actions and suggesting his recent address was for political ambition rather than action. The president was responding to these issues alone.

We will challenge this illegitimate president and focus on Donald Trump. Investigating his finances fuels my determination. As the attorney general, I sue him regularly.

The speaker believes that politically, interfering with ICE raids and blaming the federal government for riots is "nuts," but indicative of the Democratic party's current state. Governor Newsom's position also reflects this dynamic. The speaker presumes Newsom wants to run for president and must first establish himself as a "hardcore Trump resistor." According to the speaker, the Democratic Party is primarily defined by its opposition to Trump, which explains most of its actions. This is in response to the results of the November election.

The speaker announced a state-level investigation into potential violations of state law, despite federal involvement. The speaker believes it's necessary to ensure the truth emerges credibly. The speaker expressed concern that the same federal agencies prosecuting Trump are now investigating this matter, suggesting this may not be ideal for the country. However, the speaker acknowledged the federal prerogative while asserting the state's prerogative to conduct its own investigation. Further announcements regarding the state investigation will be made in the coming days.

This is all about Trump wanting to get Leticia James and Alvin Bragg. To do this, he's going after Illinois to get Pritzker by denying Illinois and New York federal grant money. The Justice Department might hold up $8 billion that would have gone to New York State. Filing civil suits against the governor and attorney general is the way to do this. Adams, the mayor of New York, was left out because he doesn't matter. He does not have any power. The state legislature is where the real power lies in both Illinois and New York. Next is Newsom in California. Trump will bring down James and Bragg because they went on a crusade to destroy him, and he is not a forgiving man.

Donald Trump is making numerous appointments and sharing his plans frequently, but there's no need to engage with his divisive rhetoric. He talks about shutting down the Department of Education, which would have severe consequences for special education, but he hasn't taken action yet. The process to shut it down is complex, and there are ways to make it more difficult for him. I'm consulting with legal experts to develop strategies, and I will share those plans with everyone. Together, we can work to counteract his proposals. There is still hope, and we will make it challenging for him to implement his agenda. Stay strong.

Liz Cheney and the speaker discuss the potential damage Donald Trump could do within the government without breaking the law. They highlight concerns about how he could use his powers to manipulate the government and bend it to his will. The speaker emphasizes national security as a major worry, mentioning the existence of a doomsday book in the White House. This book contains extraordinary powers that could be used for domestic political purposes. They express concerns about Trump invoking powers to shut down companies, control the internet, or deploy the military within the country. The speaker also mentions the possibility of weaponizing government agencies to support allies and harm enemies, including people living in blue states. The doomsday book in Trump's hands is seen as undesirable.

Speaker 0: Question about the danger of a Trump presidency if reelected. Speaker 1: I think he poses a a near existential threat to the rule of law. He will do everything he can in a new term to try to tear down the institutions that he sees as threats and dismantle them and the people who occupy them, the apolitical people who occupy them. So there is a lot on the ballot in 2024 if he's a candidate, but the rule of law, in my view, is at the very top of the list. I'm gonna pull the whole thing down. I'm gonna bring the whole fucking diseased, corrupt temple down on your head. It's gonna be biblical.

Donald Trump has presented himself as someone who can finish the job outside of the norms of legislating. Democrats need to focus on the potential consequences of a second Trump term, with loyal advisers and no guardrails. Trump's team is prepared and he knows how to drive the bus. It will be even more chaotic than before. We must make it clear that Trump is not fit for office. He only cares about his power and success. He poses a threat to American democracy and could potentially overthrow the government. His actions could lead to imprisonment and execution for those who oppose him.

Speaker 0: He explains that he wanted to enforce laws with ICE agents and federal law enforcement but couldn't, so he needed to call the National Guard. The question is what "regular forces" means, since the statute says the president has to be unable to enforce the law with regular forces, and the Supreme Court had not decided that before yesterday. The Supreme Court now says "regular forces" means you have to try with the regular armed forces first before you can bring out the National Guard. The unintended consequence could be that the president is going to have to call the eighty second airborne or the marines or the hundred and first airborne division, as, for example, President Eisenhower did after Brown v. Board of Education in the South to enforce desegregation. The president might have to do that first in order to protect those federal buildings and ICE agents, and then if they fail, he can then call out the National Guard. Speaker 1: J. B. Pritzker, the governor in the state of Illinois, is saying this is a big win for Illinois and American democracy, an important step in curbing the Trump administration's consistent abuse of power and slowing Trump’s march toward authoritarianism. The claim is political. The president has obviously tried to work within the framework of the law as his legal team sees it. What happens from here? In fifteen seconds or so, what happens from here? I’m not surprised by Pritzker’s response, and I guess you aren’t either. Speaker 0: He notes that Trump will now have the right to go to the Supreme Court on the full merits. This is just preliminary, and he may be able to get the court, the full court, to reverse this preliminary decision. More worrisome, the Supreme Court is essentially inviting President Trump to send regular armed troops and deploy those to Chicago and Los Angeles before he can send the National Guard. A governor would rather have National Guard troops than the eighty second Airborne and the Marine Corps patrolling the streets of Chicago. Speaker 1: Yeah. Especially when you think...
