OZARK — In his speech to the Dale County GOP, Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall detailed his efforts in keeping Alabama safe by pushing back against the Biden regime and assisting the second Trump administration.
Marshall began by recounting his role in prosecuting the Ozark murders of two 17-year-old girls, J.B. Beasley and Tracie Hawlett, with the aid of DNA genealogy analysis.
“I felt like it was my responsibility not only to bring justice to these families, but to also make sure law enforcement was vindicated,” said Marshall. “…I was a little bit emotional when we got finished… We would not have been able to get there absent really good work done by law enforcement on the front end.”
Regarding COVID-19, Marshall stated, “We actually did see some good come from the pandemic. … Would we have ever known about the indoctrination of our kids in our schools?… Would we have ever believed that there was a movement to open up our locker rooms and our bathrooms and our sports to transgender men?… Romans 8:28 teaches us that good can come from tragic and difficult situations. What to me has emerged from the pandemic…is the ways that we can bring and take back our culture and take back what’s going on in our country.”
Marshall reviewed Alabama’s role in standing against the Biden administration, noting, “During the Biden administration, Republican AGs filed over 200 lawsuits to be able to push back…”
Marshall’s lawsuit against the federal contractor COVID-19 vaccine mandate ultimately prevailed at the U.S. Supreme Court. However, the lawsuit against a mandate for state employees receiving Medicaid and Medicare lost “because hospitals and doctor's offices didn't fight back."
"They were worried they were going to lose their money," he explained.
Marshall also sued against Biden’s open border policies, gender ideology and “gender-affirming care,” which he called the “mutilation of kids.”
He said, “We got sued, not only by actors on the left. We also got sued by the Biden administration themselves… A conservative commentator who writes a lot on these gender-specific issues said this: ‘When historians look back and ask what led to the downfall of this medical pseudo-experiment on children, the activist decision to sue Alabama will be seen as their most significant blunder.’”
Marshall said Biden’s destructive policies have been replaced by “bold, decisive action from the Trump administration.”
He noted, “We shouldn’t be surprised because they’ve had four years to be able to prepare. I’ve been a part of some of those discussions… Just because Joe Biden is gone doesn’t mean that we take the foot off the accelerator."
Several weeks ago, Marshall joined President Donald Trump in his executive order defunding schools that allow men to participate in women’s sports. Last Friday, Marshall joined the Department of Justice.
Marshall has fought lawsuits regarding DOGE, federal buyouts, birthright citizenship and women’s sports. Several days ago, he greenlighted Alabama’s legal participation against District Judge James Boasberg’s ruling that ordered the Trump administration to turn around a deportation plane filled with Venezuelan gang members.
Marshall commented on his involvement in a state-led coalition to investigate Dr. Anthony Fauci for his actions during the pandemic.
“President Trump argues that the autopen makes certain pardons invalid," he outlined. "But the one thing about pardons is as a federal pardon, it doesn’t have anything to do with state law, and so whatever they granted Fauci wouldn’t impact us.”
Marshall said he is committed to upholding Alabama’s liberties, defending religious freedom, and fighting ESG.
“ESG is really just a way to go outside the democratic process to impose the left’s agenda through causing corporations to become woke, particularly the Blackrocks in the world, State Street, and Vanguard," he said.
Marshall compared today’s moment to the 1980 Reagan-Carter election and concluded, “In many respects, some of the things that President Reagan started didn’t plant deep enough roots. With President Trump for four years, those roots are going to get started, but collectively, it’s our responsibility to be able to plant it deep enough that they prevail for our children and our grandchildren, for the country that everybody in this room loves and appreciates and believes in.”
