Full Episode
I'm joined by New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy. Governor, the interim United States Attorney in New Jersey, Alina Haba, went on Fox and she called you out by name yesterday. You may have seen that. I want to show you the clip and then get your response to it. Let's play the clip.
We know that the governor has on his website currently do's and don'ts for his local state of law enforcement. Those do's and don'ts instruct them not to cooperate with illegal immigrants who have administrative warrants that have been issued by the court after due process saying that they are no longer welcome here. They have gone through the court system. They are to be deported.
It is instructing them to go against our federal rules, our executive orders. And I am unfortunately going to announce on your show tonight, Sean, and I want it to be a warning for everybody that I have instructed my office today to open an investigation into Governor Murphy, to open an investigation into Attorney General Plattkin, who has also instructed the state police not to assist.
any of our federal and they list our federal agencies that are under my direction the fbi the dea all these individuals that are trying to clean up our streets in new jersey not to cooperate that will no longer stand pam bondi has made it clear and so has our president that we are to take all criminal, violent criminals and criminals out of this country and to completely enforce federal law.
And anybody who does get in that way, in the way of what we are doing, which is not political, it is simply against crime, will be charged in the state of New Jersey for obstruction, for concealment. And I will come after them hard. Those investigations will start immediately.
Governor, a federal prosecutor, interim United States Attorney Alina Haba, says she's coming at you hard, and she announced on Fox a criminal investigation of a state governor. What's your reaction to that?
Well, Ben, for whatever reason, I missed my normal Sean Hannity show last night, so forgive me. That's the first time I've seen the clip. although I read about it. Listen, let me just tell you what has been in place since we first came into office. We are guided by something called an immigrant trust directive.
And let me just say, by the way, by many metrics, gun fatalities, shootings, serious crimes, New Jersey is among, if not the safest state in America. We go after criminals hard.
period full stop regardless of their immigration status what we don't do is we don't go after somebody for jaywalking or where there's no probable cause of a of a crime um and we're very clear about that and by the way if it's the former and there are immigration issues we cooperate regularly frankly, daily with federal authorities.
