general that will be ░░░░░░░░ Bondi And what your ░░░░░░░░ is on what the ░░░░░░░░ is doesn t really ░░░░░░░░ It s what the ░░░░░░░░ House counsel says and ░░░░░░░░ our Attorney General of ░░░░░░░░ United States says What ░░░░░░░░ have done is cut ░░░░░░░░ Look at what President ░░░░░░░░ has done with DOGE ░░░░░░░░ has cut so much ░░░░░░░░ and then brought in ░░░░░░░░ of dollars into America ░░░░░░░░ people from overseas reinvesting ░░░░░░░░ this America because the ░░░░░░░░ administration was so weak ░░░░░░░░ was so frivolous with ░░░░░░░░ they spent their money ░░░░░░░░ DEI funding for

truth is out ░░░░░░░░ the White House which ░░░░░░░░ that we are examining ░░░░░░░░ taking a look at ░░░░░░░░ money is going how ░░░░░░░░ is being spent so ░░░░░░░░ we can be responsible ░░░░░░░░

HABBA Good to ░░░░░░░░ you Smith From Senator ░░░░░░░░ to the Chicago mayor ░░░░░░░░ Johnson said this about ░░░░░░░░ Trump Administration s attempt ░░░░░░░░ cut federal funds Listen ░░░░░░░░ starts Johnson What s ░░░░░░░░ from this administration is ░░░░░░░░ they do not have ░░░░░░░░ full pulse or the ░░░░░░░░ of what people in ░░░░░░░░ are calling for It ░░░░░░░░ again no secret that ░░░░░░░░ administration has a great ░░░░░░░░ of disdain for working ░░░░░░░░ These appropriations have been ░░░░░░░░ by the legislative Branch ░░░░░░░░ are laws And you ░░░░░░░░ we as a country ░░░░░░░░ laws and democracy we ░░░░░░░░ when we have leaders ░░░░░░░░ actually are committed to ░░░░░░░░ that law Clip ends ░░░░░░░░ All right So to ░░░░░░░░ Chicago mayor you say ░░░░░░░░ HABBA Well first of ░░░░░░░░ there was a mandate ░░░░░░░░ was on November 5th ░░░░░░░░ we swept the country ░░░░░░░░ that s because they ░░░░░░░░ t OK with what ░░░░░░░░ last administration did So ░░░░░░░░ mandate does not come ░░░░░░░░ the legislative history it ░░░░░░░░ from the American people ░░░░░░░░ voted President Trump and ░░░░░░░░ America First agenda And ░░░░░░░░ is what we re ░░░░░░░░ to do And that ░░░░░░░░ what we are doing ░░░░░░░░ what Americans voted for ░░░░░░░░ we are going to ░░░░░░░░ to do that So ░░░░░░░░ know again left wing ░░░░░░░░ we expect more to ░░░░░░░░ because we re shaking ░░░░░░░░ up President Trump is ░░░░░░░░ disruptor to help America ░░░░░░░░ single person that is ░░░░░░░░ to get confirmed and ░░░░░░░░ gotten confirmed is America ░░░░░░░░ agenda That s what ░░░░░░░░

security ░░░░░░░░ the Super Bowl in ░░░░░░░░ place that saw a ░░░░░░░░ attack not too long ░░░░░░░░ Why are Democrats dragging ░░░░░░░░ feet in getting a ░░░░░░░░ vote for her HABBA ░░░░░░░░ that s a problem ░░░░░░░░ s a real problem ░░░░░░░░ President Trump s made ░░░░░░░░ clear that they better ░░░░░░░░ and push our people ░░░░░░░░ These are people that ░░░░░░░░ on point with our ░░░░░░░░ with what America voted ░░░░░░░░ and they re playing ░░░░░░░░ They re saying they ░░░░░░░░ not available They re ░░░░░░░░ what they need to ░░░░░░░░ to slow roll this ░░░░░░░░ frankly we have acting

in day ░░░░░░░░ We come in early ░░░░░░░░ leave late Everyone is ░░░░░░░░ hard to fix what ░░░░░░░░ happened over the last ░░░░░░░░ years and there is ░░░░░░░░ lot to fix And ░░░░░░░░ needs to be patient ░░░░░░░░ I ll tell you ░░░░░░░░ re moving quick as ░░░░░░░░ ve seen and President ░░░░░░░░ doesn t play games ░░░░░░░░ he says something he ░░░░░░░░ it He said it ░░░░░░░░ the campaign trail

that ░░░░░░░░ not want to put ░░░░░░░░ first And that is ░░░░░░░░ big part of that ░░░░░░░░ The reason things weren ░░░░░░░░ moving quickly is because ░░░░░░░░ didn t want them ░░░░░░░░ because you
