Good white terrorism.
With my signature, this danger.
I commend hard nights and weekends.
I want to thank the Vice.
I want to thank terrorism.
I want to thank the FBI and CIA for waging an incredibly important war.
I want a threat like no other.
We’ve seen the enemy our country is.
I want positive exposures.
Since the 11th of September, our intelligence and law enforcement agencies have been relentless horrors. Horrors.
Custom secret: our terrorists will help law enforcement identify, dismantle, disrupt, punish – we’re changing culture.
The number one priority is surveillance of all communications.
Investigations investigate anyone making it easier to lengthen prison sentences.
This bill upholds and respects the civil liberties guaranteed by our atrocities.
The war branches of our government are united.
It is now my honor to sign into law the USA Patriot Act of 2001.
