At one point, Miller told the assembled local police officers, “I see the guns and badges in this room. You are unleashed. The handcuffs you’re carrying, they’re not on you anymore, they’re on the criminals. And whatever you need to get it done, we’re gonna get it done.”

The 40-year-old stated that they had deployed over 13 government agencies, including the FBI, DEA, ATF, ICE, and the Department of Defense, which Hegseth has since rebranded as the “Department of War.”

“The gangbangers that you deal with, they think that they’re ruthless, they have no idea how ruthless we are,” Miller added.

“They think they’re tough, they have no idea how tough we are. They think that they’re hardcore, we are so much more hardcore than they are, and we have the entire weight of the United States government behind us. What do they have? They have nothing behind them. So we are gonna win, they’re gonna lose.”

At the Wednesday appearance, Hegseth thanked the assembled Memphis law officers for working in dangerous places “where politicians spend a lot of time second guessing... the impossible decisions that you have to make that they will never understand.”

Hegseth, Bondi and Miller spent around an hour in the Shelby County Office of Preparedness and left via the rear entrance, according to WREG TV.

Bondi said on X that 53 arrests had been made and 20 illegal firearms seized in the first two days of the Memphis Safe Task Force.

It's a gem.

Wow. I have SO much respect for that reporter. EVERY reporter should take a lesson from him. Thank you for sharing.

[-] Xanthobilly@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

Magical. Thanks for sharing. If only the rest of the media was this dogged.

That's amazing that he refers to children being raped over and over again in that clip, and then says Trump will be elected to fix it.

He claimed Donald Trump, who is in the Epstein Files, will stop children being raped.

And that "the Hispanic community will benefit the most" comment made me LOL!

[-] Cassanderer@thelemmy.club 1 points 6 months ago

He has interviews from the first term where he is clearly all coked up and shouting over the interviewers and accusing them. Reporters need to cut them off when they shout over them and abuse them on camera.

His bald pate is glistening more and more throughout.

These clowns have clearly forgotten what proper journalism is all about.

[-] Maeve@kbin.earth 1 points 6 months ago

He literally turned red and broke a sweat.

So much “think of the children” bullshit from this bunch of pedophiles.

God damn that reporter is a baller

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

I wish every reporter was this good. And Stephen Miller with that Laken Riley martyr shit, Jesus fucking Christ. None of these fucking ghouls give a shit about her or the "children" that skid mark Miller is going on about.
