What happened when Ed Martin was spat on by a leftist?

Ed Martin (intro by Charlie Kirk) 0:00
This woman came up to me screeching in a way, I mean, she can't know me. She didn't know me. I never met her. A screeching, screeching, screeching, swearing, and then spitting.
Tucker Carlson 0:08
That suggests that your mere physical presence evokes... An emotional response. DOJ is a bigger mess even than some conspiracy minded people on the outside like me imagine.
Ed Martin (intro by Charlie Kirk) 0:19
Some people would say, what's Dan doing, Bungie? You know, he's going hammer and tongs at this stuff right here. The scope is bigger and it is therefore much, much worse than people think.

Why did Senator Thom Tillis oppose Ed Martin's nomination?

Tucker Carlson 0:28
Why would Tom Tillis be the instrument of your destruction?
Ed Martin (intro by Charlie Kirk) 0:31
He railed on J6. He said, how could you represent J6 people? How stupid do people have to be to go into the Capitol and blah, blah, blah?

How are January 6th protestors being prosecuted and why is it controversial?

Tucker Carlson 0:40
The Republican Party tells you they're one thing, but they're actually another thing.
Ed Martin (intro by Charlie Kirk) 0:43
Right now, it's Trump's party. It's just that some of the elites don't want to let go.
Tucker Carlson 0:46
Exactly. You want your kid to go to Georgetown? Oh, he goes to Georgetown. It's way more than that. People just have no idea. The CIA small arms training facility was on their campus. It's an arm of the deepest of the deep state. Way worse than Harvard, actually, I think. Thank you for doing this. So, I'm laughing. I saw a very angry young woman spit in your face on camera two days ago. That suggests that your mere physical presence evokes an emotional response. Why? DC is in trouble. I'm from there. I can vouch for that. You are going to fix it. What exactly do you think, from your perspective, was the resistance to you?
Ed Martin (intro by Charlie Kirk) 1:51
Well, first, I'd like to point out, Tucker, because I've been accused of having a signature piece of clothing now, like in the old days, the bow tie. You know, the jacket that I wear, the sort of raincoat? Yeah. The New York Times called it my signature. I like it. It was very effective because the spit went on the raincoat. It was able to be cleaned off.
Tucker Carlson 2:07
It's very old school Watergate, by the way.
Ed Martin (intro by Charlie Kirk) 2:09
Columbo. I'm going Columbo, not, as my kids said, Inspector Gadget. I thought that was degrading, and I've indicted all three of the four of them now. All right, so... Look, I did the job. President Trump gave me this incredible privilege. Usually a U.S. attorney is nominated and then they get confirmed and then they come into office, right? So it's usually like October and you finally get somebody in office. And that whole time you have the Sally Yates problem. Remember Sally Yates who was acting? You have some acting person that's either undermining you or is not totally into the job.
Tucker Carlson 2:42
Exactly. Exactly.
Ed Martin (intro by Charlie Kirk) 2:42
Okay, so I said to the president a while ago, if you want me to do this job, can I have it on day one? And he agreed, and he put me on day one. And so day one, we started swinging right away at all the things that we needed to swing at, right? First of all, day one, we had the pardons, 1,600 pardons. Day two or three, we had two pardons of cops. Day three or four, we had all the FACE Act pardons. It was a busy first week. But more importantly, as we were talking about, a fair— I started swinging. We started actually going for it. We said, okay, we're going to weaponization, you know, Chuck Schumer's a bully. And we went at this fight, uh, hammer and tongs and everybody noticed, everybody noticed Chuck Schumer noticed Dick Durbin starts firing off letters of complaint, all kinds of things.
Ed Martin (intro by Charlie Kirk) 3:24
And that's how you're supposed to do the job. Uh,
Tucker Carlson 3:26
I wish it was consistent with the president's mandate since he was just elected by the majority of voters. Exactly. Right. It's called democracy.
Ed Martin (intro by Charlie Kirk) 3:33
It's called democracy. And he actually put some, you know, he put he signed orders. He signed what he gave us the direction he wanted us to do. Executive orders said, stop the weaponization. Go look at this. And then, by the way, Attorney General Bondi got in. She gave us an even more specific list. Right. So but more importantly, Tucker, if it was. A hundred years ago, maybe you could just be genteel and prosecute the cases as they came along. Right. You could sit around and say sooner or later it'll all work out. It's not a hundred years ago. And the fight right now is a fight over everything from information to accountability to healing. Right. So that's the fight. and a U.S.
