When I was there, because I was in the midst of these protests on either side of that issue,

That is not a crime.

It is literally the job of journalism.

And what you've been doing in going to these sites of protest and interviewing people, as Colby said, including the pastor, including the people who were on the other side of that issue, and including some of the people who organized that protest, I'm not sure what Pamela, Pam Bondi thinks journalism is, but that's what it is.

And I really just want to quickly, and everyone knows this, but I just want to read the First Amendment.

just so that people can be reminded.

I'm really gonna be grandma right now.

And I'm gonna take out my first amendment and read it to you.

It says,

shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof or abridging the freedom of speech or of the press or of the right of the people peaceably to assemble and to petition the government for redress of grievances.

Therefore, nothing that was happening inside that church was a crime.

If they wanna try to come up with a crime for protesting,

If the folks who own the church want to charge trespass or something like that, you can litigate that.

But the reality is the protests were constitutionally sound.

The journalism was constitutionally sound.

And the only reason that Pam Bondi's...

the Department of Injustice has decided to try to prosecute you is probably because Donald Trump told her to.

And we no longer have a Justice Department because Pamela Joe, Pam Bondi, has decided that her job is not to pursue justice without fear or favor.

Her job is to do whatever it is Donald Trump is telling her to do in the moment.

And whoever annoys Donald Trump or makes him angry or makes him sad or doesn't kiss his ass, she prosecutes them or attempts to prosecute them to punish them for doing things he doesn't like.
