First... We are not moving forward with the fund.

Correct.

Also, I thought I got into the stage where I could no longer be shocked by Donald Trump's choices.

But this may be the most outrageous of all.

Sweetheart, if the prize is you, I'm a ready tip.

The fund out of the Department of Justice, nearly $2 billion, meant to pay folks who've been victimized by the government.

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche told Congress that might include people who attacked lawmakers and police on January 6, 2021, as President Trump tried to remain in power despite losing the 2020 presidential election.

As you might imagine, that upsets some folks, which, when both chambers have nearly the smallest majorities you could have, is a problem.

My message today is clear.

The United States and President Trump does not and will not forget its citizens.

For the first time in nearly 70 years, senior leadership of the Cuban regime has been charged in this country, in the United States of America, for acts of violence resulting in the deaths of American citizens.

Nations and their leaders cannot be permitted to target Americans, kill them, and not face accountability.

President Trump is committed to restoring a very simple but important principle.

If you kill Americans, we will pursue you, no matter who you are, no matter what title you hold, and in this case, no matter how much time has passed.

That's the goal.

I mean, there's an arrest warrant.

And we indict people, as I said earlier today, we indict people outside the United States all the time.

And there's a lot of ways that we can get them.

And I certainly hope that any defendant that's indicted in this country stands trial for what they've been charged with doing.

Thank you.
