1
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:10,800
Speaker 1: Live from Vall Hartliner and the Crossroads of America. It's

2
00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:15,080
Speaker 1: Tony Katz today. So is President Trump going to announce

3
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:19,640
Speaker 1: a takeover of DC? Tony Katz, Tony Katz today, Good

4
00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:22,880
Speaker 1: to be with you. So I wanted to capture it

5
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:25,480
Speaker 1: as it was happening, but was happening before the show

6
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:30,320
Speaker 1: went on. So this is me before the show, right.

7
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:33,600
Speaker 1: So this press conference was happening ten am Eastern Time

8
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:38,640
Speaker 1: where President Trump, at least, as was discussed, was going

9
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:42,920
Speaker 1: to announce something about the District of Columbia. So as

10
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:45,600
Speaker 1: I talk to you right now, I have no idea

11
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 1: what he's going to say. What is rumored is that

12
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 1: there's going to be a takeover of DC because he's

13
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 1: disgusted by what he's seeing, saying that DC will be

14
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:05,560
Speaker 1: liberated from violent crime, from the homelessness issue, from the crime, savagery,

15
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:10,920
Speaker 1: filth and scum that will disappear. So he also wrote,

16
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:13,560
Speaker 1: I will make our capital great again. The days of

17
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:16,760
Speaker 1: ruthlessly killing or hurting innocent people. Are over. I quickly

18
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 1: fix the border, zero illegals in the last three months.

19
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 1: DC is next. So let's get into a couple of

20
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:30,320
Speaker 1: things about the District of Columbia. The District of Columbia

21
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 1: exists through a formation of legislation by Congress. That's how

22
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 1: the District of Columbia exists. Officially founded in seventeen ninety one,

23
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 1: it began with the Residents Act by Congress in July

24
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 1: of seventeen ninety. So DC only exists at the pleasure

25
00:01:56,800 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 1: of Congress, which means it can also be removed. Just

26
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 1: so we're all perfectly clear, you can change the capital.

27
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 1: The idea that it is DC and so therefore it

28
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:12,360
Speaker 1: always has to be DC is simply not true. No

29
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 1: part of that is true. Remember before DC, where was

30
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 1: the capital of the United States? New York. I mean,

31
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:20,960
Speaker 1: that's so much of Alexander Hamilton giving up the capitol,

32
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:25,680
Speaker 1: getting the financial center, which one was more important. All

33
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 1: the rest. You've got land that was given up by

34
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 1: Maryland and Virginia. Right, You've got the Potomac River, the

35
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 1: Eastern Branch there, these were the areas that were given up.

36
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 1: Now I've heard Senator Mike Lee of Utah discuss why

37
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 1: in the world do we still have a DC the

38
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 1: way we have it? This isn't necessary, and this whole

39
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 1: idea of statehood is just FORCCTA nonsense. Why do we

40
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 1: put an end to that. Let's take the strip that

41
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 1: constitutes from sixteen hundred Pennsylvania Avenue. Remember, you go all

42
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 1: the way down Pennsylvania Avenue. Boom, there's the Capitol. So

43
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 1: the White House to the Capitol. Go a little bit further,

44
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 1: there's a Supreme Court. You've got the monument, You've got

45
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 1: the mall and things like that's DC. Everything else. Give

46
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 1: it back to Maryland. Here you go, this now belongs

47
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:20,799
Speaker 1: to you. We're reverting it back to you. And I

48
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 1: don't know Virginia wants something on the other side of

49
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 1: the Potomac. I say, God bless them. That's an interesting idea,

50
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:33,800
Speaker 1: a very very interesting concept. But how that works in

51
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 1: practice would be different. But that's all to the side,

52
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 1: because that isn't seemingly what President Trump is discussing here.

53
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 1: What President Trump is discussing here is it's time to

54
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 1: put an end to the crime. It's time to put

55
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 1: an end to the danger that is DC. You think

56
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 1: this is about where he resides. I don't think that's

57
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 1: what's happening here. This is a message to other governors.

58
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 1: Why I shouldn't say, ohther, this is a message to

59
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 1: governors into states. You don't have to put up with that.

60
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 1: You don't have to put up with these big cities

61
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 1: that won't run themselves, can't run themselves, refuse to run

62
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 1: themselves because they are all left as strongholds. These people

63
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:16,479
Speaker 1: can't run cities. Let's go show them now. This is

64
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 1: a concept that exists outside of Donald Trump. In my

65
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 1: beloved Indiana, for example, there have been repeated conversations about Indianapolis,

66
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 1: where I sit not too far from right now. Indianapolis

67
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 1: is my home station, WIBC ninety three point ONEFM. It's

68
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:39,479
Speaker 1: where I do the morning show, and I do this

69
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 1: show and love it. So there has been repeated talk

70
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 1: about in the General Assembly here, which is Republican dominated,

71
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 1: Republican super majorities in the House, in the Senate taking

72
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 1: over the city because they can't keep the city safe.

73
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 1: The mayor Joe Hogzett can't engage a plan, the prosecutor

74
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 1: Ryan Meres doesn't prosecute, which you might very well be yours.

75
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:03,600
Speaker 1: That might be a Tulson conversation, that could be a

76
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 1: Puria conversation, that could be a Saint Louis conversation. These

77
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 1: left leaning prosecutors they don't prosecute. Oh, we don't worry

78
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 1: about that crime. We don't worry about that crime. But

79
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:13,920
Speaker 1: if a Republican does it, or if someone doesn't bake

80
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 1: a cake, ooh, we're gonna be so mad. Like one

81
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 1: of those doesn't prosecute. So the police do their job,

82
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:24,599
Speaker 1: but there's no prosecutions, and these losers, these whether they're

83
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:26,840
Speaker 1: gang relator or just criminal element, they end up back

84
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 1: on the streets. What are you gonna do if the

85
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:32,919
Speaker 1: prosecutor doesn't prosecute. So there's been this conversation of let's

86
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:36,479
Speaker 1: go take this let's go fix this city. It is

87
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 1: at those times where all the civic leaders and the

88
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:41,479
Speaker 1: business leaders they write a letter and they give it

89
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:44,480
Speaker 1: to the local newspaper say leave our city alone. This

90
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 1: isn't for you to worry about. They're always protecting the

91
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:52,159
Speaker 1: city from getting better. They never once write a letter

92
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 1: to say, hey city, what are you allowing all these

93
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:58,279
Speaker 1: murders for? Hey city? What's with all the potholes? Hey city,

94
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:00,840
Speaker 1: pick the issue of your city. They never seem to

95
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 1: do that, and when they do do that, they should

96
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 1: be applauded by the way. They should be applauded for

97
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 1: speaking out because they can exert pressure, financial pressure and

98
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 1: other things, but they don't and at least not here.

99
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 1: And it's sinful, it truly is, and probably or possibly,

100
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 1: I should say, in your city as well. So this

101
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:24,839
Speaker 1: idea of states taking over cities is not new, not

102
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:28,719
Speaker 1: by a long shot. But this from President Trump is

103
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:33,160
Speaker 1: a different move because a it is so high profile.

104
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 1: Now is this what he's going to say? I do

105
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 1: not have an answer for this yet. What I know

106
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 1: is I can't wait to hear it. I want to

107
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 1: see it. And when you see the left wing explode,

108
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 1: lose their minds, look at this dictator. This is not dictatorship.

109
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 1: This is a recognition that things aren't working and people

110
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 1: want safety. Only progressives seem to want to go ahead

111
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 1: or go along with murder in the streets, violence in

112
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 1: the streets, and the streets not being driveable. Then again,

113
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:07,720
Speaker 1: they don't want cars on the roads anyway. They want

114
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 1: vision zero and road diets and everybody riding a bike nobody.

115
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 1: I have no issue with bikes, but cars or what

116
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:17,800
Speaker 1: roads are for. Everyone should take a bus. Nobody wants

117
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 1: to be on a bus. The bus driver doesn't want

118
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 1: to be on a bus. Nobody wants Nobody wants this.

119
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:28,880
Speaker 1: So what is President Trump going to say? That is

120
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 1: the question I'm bringing you now the press conference? What

121
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 1: did Trump say about Washington, d C? And are we

122
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 1: about to see a change? And oh, by the way,

123
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 1: how about we move the capitol altogether? Huh? Maybe something.

124
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 1: I mean, that's not gonna happen, but I just figure,

125
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 1: I mean, if we're throwing bombs, why not throw that

126
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 1: in there? Midwest? Perfect spot for the capitol? Perfect? What

127
00:07:57,720 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 1: did Trump have to say? That's coming next? Keep it here,

128
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 1: Tony Katz, This is Tony Katz today. So what's going

129
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 1: on with DC? President Trump had a press conference today,

130
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:09,680
Speaker 1: Tony Katz, Tony Katz today. Here's how it sounded right

131
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:19,559
Speaker 1: from the beginning. So now everybody's coming in. There's Pam Bondi,

132
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 1: there's Cash Mattel, FBI Director, Pam Bondi, of course, the

133
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 1: Attorney General. You've got Pete Headset, the Secretary of Defense,

134
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 1: and you have Doug Bergham, Secretary of the Interior, all

135
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:34,680
Speaker 1: there who will be flanking President Trump as he makes

136
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:38,839
Speaker 1: his entrance into this is happening in the press briefing room.

137
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 1: So Trump's ready to take the questions, and well, oh,

138
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:47,960
Speaker 1: Jendine Piro is there, who is now the attorney there

139
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:52,720
Speaker 1: for DC. I don't know who the other guy is though. Man,

140
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 1: it's not even on tip my tongue. I'm like, yeah,

141
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:59,320
Speaker 1: I have absolutely no clue. And then entering the room

142
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 1: the President of the United States, let's hear what he

143
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 1: has to say about DC.

144
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 2: I've been up here a lot. I've never seen a

145
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:12,840
Speaker 2: crowd like this. I think we need a ballroom, and

146
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:15,320
Speaker 2: that's happening. It's going to be a beautiful ballroom. This

147
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 2: is really a lot of people most have ever seen

148
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 2: in this room, and we're here for a very serious purpose,

149
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 2: very serious something. He's out of control, but we're going

150
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 2: to put it in control very quickly, like we did

151
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:34,200
Speaker 2: on the southern border. I'm announcing a historic action to

152
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:38,840
Speaker 2: rescue our nation's capital from crime, bloodshed, bedlam, and squalor

153
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 2: and worse. This is Liberation Day in DC, and we're

154
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 2: going to take our capital back. We're taking it back

155
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 2: under the authorities vested in me as the President of

156
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:55,320
Speaker 2: the United States. I'm officially invoking Section seventy forty of

157
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:58,640
Speaker 2: the District of Columbia Home Rule Act. You know, what

158
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:03,520
Speaker 2: that is, and placing the DC Metropolitan Police Department under

159
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 2: direct federal control, and you'll be meeting the people that

160
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:13,320
Speaker 2: will be directly involved with that. Very good people, but

161
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:17,600
Speaker 2: they're tough and they know what's happening, and they've done

162
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 2: it before. In addition, I'm deploying the National Guard to

163
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:26,440
Speaker 2: help re establish law order of public safety in Washington,

164
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 2: d C.

165
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:29,200
Speaker 3: And they're going to be allowed to do their job properly.

166
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 3: And you people are victims of it too.

167
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 2: You know your reporters, and I understand a lot of

168
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 2: you tend to be on the liberal side, but you

169
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:38,720
Speaker 2: don't want to get You don't want to.

170
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:41,080
Speaker 3: Get mugged and raped and shot and killed.

171
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 2: And you all know people and friends of yours that happened,

172
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:48,960
Speaker 2: And so you can be any anything you want, but

173
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 2: you want to have safety in the streets. You want

174
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:52,960
Speaker 2: to be able to leave your apartment or your house

175
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 2: where you live and feel safe and go into a

176
00:10:56,440 --> 00:11:00,440
Speaker 2: store to buy a newspaper, buy something you don't have

177
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:04,320
Speaker 2: that now, the murder rate in Washington today is higher

178
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 2: than that of Bogata, Columbia, Mexico City. Some of the

179
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 2: places that you hear about as being the worst places.

180
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 3: On Earth much higher. This is much higher.

181
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:21,560
Speaker 2: The number of carthfs has doubled over the past five years,

182
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:24,440
Speaker 2: and the number of car jackings has more than tripled.

183
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:29,720
Speaker 2: Murders and twenty twenty three reached the highest rate probably ever.

184
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:31,840
Speaker 2: They say twenty five years, but they don't know what

185
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 2: that means because it just goes back twenty five years.

186
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:35,440
Speaker 3: Can't be worse.

187
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 2: Our capital city has been overtaken by violent gangs and

188
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:44,200
Speaker 2: bloodthirsty criminals, roving mobs of wild youth, drugged out maniacs,

189
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 2: and homeless people. And we're not going to let it

190
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 2: happen anymore. We're not going to take it, just like

191
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:54,440
Speaker 2: we did on our southern border. Nobody comes to our

192
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:56,959
Speaker 2: southern border. And three months in a row we had zero.

193
00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:59,200
Speaker 2: I don't know if that's right, but the people that

194
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:03,040
Speaker 2: do the work, it's a very liberal group of people, actually,

195
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 2: and they actually said zero for the last three months.

196
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:09,079
Speaker 2: Nobody thought a thing like that was possible. And uh,

197
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:12,439
Speaker 2: you know when you say, take a look at numbers.

198
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 2: I just saw some charts. These are different cities throughout

199
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:16,680
Speaker 2: the world.

200
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:23,720
Speaker 3: Red is okay, the red is place. Go to Washington, DC.

201
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:27,560
Speaker 3: Look at these Baghdad.

202
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:37,200
Speaker 2: Is we doubled up on Baghdad, Panama City, Brasilia, San Jose,

203
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:44,520
Speaker 2: Costa Rica, Bogata, Columbia, heavy drugs, Mexico City. I mentioned Lima, Peru,

204
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 2: all double and triple what they are said. Do you

205
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 2: want to live in places like that?

206
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:54,920
Speaker 3: I don't think so. I don't think so, and.

207
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:58,199
Speaker 2: I think the people in this room, if you wrote correctly,

208
00:12:58,240 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 2: you'd see Look at the kind of numbers we have

209
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:06,840
Speaker 2: DC forty one per one hundred thousand, number one.

210
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 3: That we can find anywhere in the world.

211
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 2: Other cities are pretty bad, but they're not as bad

212
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 2: as that.

213
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:14,200
Speaker 3: That way you want to live.

214
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:21,719
Speaker 2: The reporters of the world juvenile offenders and crimes against persons,

215
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 2: as they say, it's getting worse, not getting better, it's

216
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:33,959
Speaker 2: getting worse. And we had a recent indication and there

217
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:36,640
Speaker 2: was a story about a man who was.

218
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:39,160
Speaker 1: Just left.

219
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:41,720
Speaker 2: He quit because he was asked to do phony numbers

220
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:44,680
Speaker 2: on crime. And we're going to look into that. I

221
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:47,680
Speaker 2: think Pam is going to be looking into that. But

222
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:50,199
Speaker 2: he was asked by the city, I guess.

223
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:52,320
Speaker 3: And we don't want to show the real numbers. Let

224
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:54,319
Speaker 3: me do numbers so it looks like it's going.

225
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:56,800
Speaker 2: Down, not going down, and under Biden it was a

226
00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:59,320
Speaker 2: disaster and nobody did anything about it.

227
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:00,719
Speaker 3: We're going to do things. Is about it, like you

228
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 3: wouldn't believe.

229
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:07,240
Speaker 2: Every American is a constitutional right to be able to

230
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 2: access and petition their government in safety, and countless federal

231
00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:14,640
Speaker 2: officials and employees likewise have the right to carry out

232
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 2: their jobs in peace without being shot. As you know,

233
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 2: I lost a very good person a while ago, was

234
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 2: shot waiting for his wife. He was in the car.

235
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:26,600
Speaker 2: They robbed this car. They shot him, They killed him

236
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:29,520
Speaker 2: like there was nothing to it. She was walking to

237
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:29,880
Speaker 2: the car.

238
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 3: It's a horror show.

239
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 2: This issue directly impacts the functioning of the federal government

240
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:40,080
Speaker 2: and is a threat to America. Really, it's a threat

241
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 2: to our country. We have other cities also that are bad,

242
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 2: very bad. You look at Chicago, how bad it is.

243
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 2: You look at Los Angeles?

244
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:52,520
Speaker 1: How bet it's not wrong about Chicago or Los Angeles.

245
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 1: But now it's happening a takeover. Now the question is

246
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:58,120
Speaker 1: going to be how does this work? What is the

247
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:02,000
Speaker 1: actual process of a takeover? Does the mayor still exist

248
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:05,000
Speaker 1: any level of city council? How do these things progress?

249
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:07,040
Speaker 1: I'm assuming he's going to get into that with the

250
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 1: Q and A. What do we hear from the Secretary

251
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 1: of Defense and why is he involved in this? The

252
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 1: Attorney General, what does she have to say? The FBI director,

253
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:17,400
Speaker 1: what is their conversation piece to this? How does the

254
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:21,320
Speaker 1: actual process work, how does DC function? And is this

255
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:24,040
Speaker 1: the only step? Is this a temporary step or is

256
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:29,640
Speaker 1: this a transitional piece as we discussed earlier to something else.

257
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 1: So I said, you know, sharing it as I'm hearing it.

258
00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 1: I'm hearing it right now for the first time, just

259
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 1: like you. I wanted to bring it to you live

260
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 1: with my reactions to it. So depending on when you

261
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:43,720
Speaker 1: hear this, this happened before even the show began, but

262
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:45,400
Speaker 1: I wanted to bring it to you. Let's go back

263
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 1: to President Trump here.

264
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:49,520
Speaker 2: Firston was murdered last year in cold blood in a

265
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 2: carjacking blocks away from.

266
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:57,119
Speaker 3: The White House. We all knew him, great.

267
00:15:56,880 --> 00:16:02,440
Speaker 2: Person, waiting for his wife as she was walking to

268
00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 2: the car. A Democrat congressman was also carjacked at gunpoint

269
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:10,360
Speaker 2: not far from the Capitol and in twenty twenty three

270
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 2: and aid to Senator Around Paul was stabbed in the

271
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 2: chest and head by a demented lunatic as he walked

272
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:23,840
Speaker 2: down the street, just absolutely, for no reason, horrifically. Last

273
00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 2: July fourth weekend, a three year old girl was shot

274
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:29,480
Speaker 2: in the head and killed while sitting in a car

275
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 2: near the Capitol. It's becoming a situation of complete and

276
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:39,400
Speaker 2: total lawlessness, and we're getting rid of the We have

277
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:41,360
Speaker 2: slums here, we're getting rid of them. I know it's

278
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:45,040
Speaker 2: not politically correct, you'll say, oh, so terrible. No, we're

279
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:50,600
Speaker 2: getting rid of the slums where they live. Caravans of

280
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 2: mass youth rampage through city streets set.

281
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:57,120
Speaker 3: All times of the day.

282
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:04,680
Speaker 2: They are ATVs motorbikes, they travel pretty well. Entire neighborhoods

283
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 2: are now under emergency curfews, just as past weekend gunfire

284
00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 2: through went through and you saw that the Navy yard.

285
00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:16,160
Speaker 3: I saw it this morning. They saw that.

286
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:20,240
Speaker 2: They fought back against See they fight back until you

287
00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:22,240
Speaker 2: knock the hell out of them, because it's the only

288
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:26,119
Speaker 2: language they understand. But they fought back against law enforcement

289
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:30,120
Speaker 2: last night. And they're not going to be fighting back

290
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:36,880
Speaker 2: long because I've instructed them and told them whatever happens.

291
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 2: You know, they love to spit in the face of

292
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:43,600
Speaker 2: the police. As the police are standing up there in uniform.

293
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:46,720
Speaker 3: They're standing and they're screaming at them an.

294
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:50,080
Speaker 2: Inch away from their face, and then they start spitting

295
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:53,679
Speaker 2: in their face. And I said, you tell them you

296
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:57,480
Speaker 2: spit and we hit, and they can hit real hard.

297
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 2: It's a discuss thing. I've watched that for years, for

298
00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:06,919
Speaker 2: three or four years. I've watched them, the police, and

299
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 2: they're told don't do anything under any sort so and

300
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 2: you can see they want to get at it.

301
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 3: And they're standing there and the people are spitting.

302
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:18,000
Speaker 2: In their face and they're not allowed to do anything,

303
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:20,760
Speaker 2: but now they are allowed to do whatever the hell

304
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 2: they want. This dire public safety crisis stem is directly

305
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:30,080
Speaker 2: from the abject failures of the city's local leadership. The

306
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 2: radical left city Council adopted no cash bail. By the way,

307
00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:37,920
Speaker 2: every place in the country you have no cash bail

308
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:41,080
Speaker 2: is a disaster. That's what started the problem in New York.

309
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:43,840
Speaker 2: And they don't change it. They don't want to change it.

310
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:48,920
Speaker 2: That's what started it in Chicago. I mean, bad politicians

311
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:51,879
Speaker 2: started it. Bad leadership started it. But that was the

312
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:55,399
Speaker 2: one thing that's central, no cash bail. Somebody murders somebody and.

313
00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:59,120
Speaker 3: They're out on no cash bail before the day is out.

314
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:02,960
Speaker 2: We're going to end that. In Chicago. We're going to

315
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:07,240
Speaker 2: change the statute. I spoke with Pam and Todd and everybody.

316
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:09,199
Speaker 2: We're going to change the statue. And I'm gonna have

317
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:12,239
Speaker 2: to get the Republicans to vote because the Democrats are

318
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:14,680
Speaker 2: Week on crime, totally weak.

319
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:18,680
Speaker 3: On crime, and they don't know why they want to

320
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:20,080
Speaker 3: stop because they get mumged too.

321
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:23,879
Speaker 2: But we're going to change no cash bail. We're going

322
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:25,600
Speaker 2: to change the statute, can get rid of South.

323
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:29,399
Speaker 1: So a conversation about no cash bail. Of course, that

324
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:33,119
Speaker 1: was the pivot to their Week on crime. This is

325
00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:36,160
Speaker 1: about more than DC, which is I think what we

326
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:38,639
Speaker 1: were all kind of in the headspace of more from

327
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:41,639
Speaker 1: President Trump coming up and the other speaking about taking

328
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:45,400
Speaker 1: over DC. This is Tony Katts today.

329
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:48,080
Speaker 3: Three thousand, five hundred. I thought they were going to

330
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 3: say we.

331
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:53,000
Speaker 2: Only have thirty policemen for women. He said, we have

332
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:56,280
Speaker 2: three thousand, five hundred. We need more. You don't need more.

333
00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:58,639
Speaker 2: That's so many I've never heard. That's like an army.

334
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:01,879
Speaker 2: How could you need more than three thousand. It just

335
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:07,879
Speaker 2: happened two minutes ago. Sure, they've requested more police.

336
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:09,240
Speaker 3: Oh what do they.

337
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:12,800
Speaker 2: Have about three thousand, five hundred? I said, three thousand

338
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:13,680
Speaker 2: and five hundred.

339
00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:15,639
Speaker 1: This is not a big area.

340
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:17,360
Speaker 3: It's ridiculous.

341
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:23,400
Speaker 1: President Trump in that presser today announcing a DC takeover

342
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:26,680
Speaker 1: from the federal government, which of course is allowed. DC

343
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:30,320
Speaker 1: exists through an Act of Congress. Tony Katz, Tony Kats today,

344
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:33,439
Speaker 1: good to be with you so making that announcement. And

345
00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:35,680
Speaker 1: he did this earlier in the day, but I wanted

346
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:38,240
Speaker 1: you to hear as much of it as possible. I

347
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:40,080
Speaker 1: wanted to bring you as much as possible in case

348
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:42,280
Speaker 1: you missed it, because man, this is going to be

349
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:43,840
Speaker 1: a talking point. You know, the left is going to

350
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:46,480
Speaker 1: go nuts. Trump's trying to take over our cities. He

351
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:49,439
Speaker 1: is a dictator. The people are going to argue the

352
00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:52,679
Speaker 1: cities are unsafe, and you, the progressive left that control

353
00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:56,359
Speaker 1: the cities, lockstock in barrel here, make them unsafe. Your

354
00:20:56,520 --> 00:21:01,320
Speaker 1: policies simply do not work. They provide value. That's going

355
00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:05,160
Speaker 1: to be the conversation. Now. We have to determine what

356
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:08,480
Speaker 1: Trump's plan here is about this takeover and is this

357
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:11,119
Speaker 1: is this a permanent thing? Is as a temporary. Is

358
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:12,840
Speaker 1: this a step one to a step two? A lot

359
00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:14,880
Speaker 1: of these things. But now he's talking about the number

360
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:16,400
Speaker 1: of police in the area, and why do you need

361
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:18,480
Speaker 1: so many police? How about letting the police do their job?

362
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:20,480
Speaker 1: He had said earlier, you know this idea of you

363
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:23,520
Speaker 1: spit we hit where cops could get spit on this

364
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:25,879
Speaker 1: and that and whatever, and they couldn't do anything. And

365
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:29,080
Speaker 1: he followed it up by saying, now they could do anything. No, no,

366
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:33,879
Speaker 1: they can't do anything, sir. I oppose that wholeheartedly, but

367
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:36,440
Speaker 1: it doesn't mean they should be spin on that much.

368
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:38,840
Speaker 1: I think we agree with. So bring it back to

369
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:42,119
Speaker 1: the president and to the press or. As he's talking,

370
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 1: he's got Pam Bondi behind him, the Attorney General, the

371
00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:48,800
Speaker 1: Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, the FBI director Cash Ptello's there,

372
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:53,679
Speaker 1: the Interior Secretary, Doug Bergham is the Energy Secutary. No,

373
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:56,640
Speaker 1: Chris writes, the Energy Secretary, Bergham Secretary of the Interior.

374
00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 1: So they are all there. Let's bring it back to it.

375
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:05,280
Speaker 2: Police, they don't have a dea atf FBI, Park Police,

376
00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:09,160
Speaker 2: US Martial Service, Secret Service, Department, Homeland Security.

377
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:15,240
Speaker 3: They get some police, but they're rough police and they

378
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:15,760
Speaker 3: do their job.

379
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:19,160
Speaker 2: They don't have crime. We're not gonna have crime either.

380
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:25,800
Speaker 2: They made dozens of arrests, and that's what that's what

381
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:30,879
Speaker 2: starts to happen again, cashless bail. Wats what we do

382
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:35,160
Speaker 2: with that? Today we're formally declaring a public safety emergency.

383
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:39,919
Speaker 2: This is an emergency. This is a tragic emergency. And

384
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:41,879
Speaker 2: it's embarrassing for me to be up here. You know,

385
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:45,480
Speaker 2: I'm going to see Putin. I'm going to Russia on Friday.

386
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:48,520
Speaker 2: I don't like being up here talking about how unsafe

387
00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:53,320
Speaker 2: and how dirty and disgusting this once beautiful capital was

388
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:56,879
Speaker 2: with graffiti all over the walls. It's another part of it,

389
00:22:56,960 --> 00:23:00,159
Speaker 2: by the way, because we're talking about safety wor so

390
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:03,600
Speaker 2: talking about beautification. We're the most beautiful, potentially capital in

391
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:07,640
Speaker 2: the world. We always had. But people come from Iowa,

392
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:09,200
Speaker 2: they come from Indiana.

393
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:11,199
Speaker 3: They come and then they get mugged. It's not going

394
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:11,600
Speaker 3: to happen.

395
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:14,160
Speaker 2: Keep coming because within by the time you get your

396
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:17,120
Speaker 2: trip set, it's going to be safe again, and it's

397
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:19,760
Speaker 2: going to be cleaned very quickly. We're going to replace

398
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:21,960
Speaker 2: the medians that are falling down all over the roads.

399
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:23,960
Speaker 3: We're going to replace the potholes. We're going to put

400
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:26,000
Speaker 3: a nice new coat of asphalt over the.

401
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:28,640
Speaker 2: Top, knowing we don't have to rip the road out

402
00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:31,720
Speaker 2: and spend seven years building a new road because they

403
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:35,000
Speaker 2: cut everything that because some designers said, well we need

404
00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:38,360
Speaker 2: a quart of an inch more turn for safety reasons.

405
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:41,399
Speaker 3: We're going to do it right. We're going to get

406
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:42,159
Speaker 3: it done quickly.

407
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:48,639
Speaker 2: So today we're declaring public safety emergency in the District

408
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 2: of Columbia, and Attorney General Pam Bondi, who's fantastic, is

409
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:58,000
Speaker 2: taking command of the Metropolitan Police Department as of this moment,

410
00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:01,960
Speaker 2: and I'll be making the ope your notifications to Congress

411
00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:05,919
Speaker 2: and to the mayor. Our new dea administrator is one

412
00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:07,160
Speaker 2: of the top in the country.

00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:09,919
Speaker 3: He better be, Terry, if you're not going to get

Speaker 2: We just got him most highly recommended person. And you'll

416
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:25,520
Speaker 2: be designated as the interim Federal Commissioner of the.

417
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:28,240
Speaker 3: Metropolitan Police Department. Okay, and you run them tough. They're good.

418
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 2: You have a lot of good people. You have people

419
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:32,360
Speaker 2: that shouldn't be there. You also have people that shouldn't

420
00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:35,359
Speaker 2: be there. They got in there because of WOKE. But

421
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:37,840
Speaker 2: you have a lot of great police and those people

422
00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:40,639
Speaker 2: are the ones that want to help you. The city

423
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:44,679
Speaker 2: will no longer be a sanctuary for illegal alien criminals.

424
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:49,359
Speaker 2: We will have full, seamless integrated cooperation at all levels

425
00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:53,360
Speaker 2: of law enforcement and will deploy officers across the district

426
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:55,120
Speaker 2: with an overwhelming presence.

427
00:24:55,160 --> 00:25:00,159
Speaker 3: You'll have more police and you'll be so happy, you

428
00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:00,840
Speaker 3: be safe.

429
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:03,600
Speaker 2: When you walk down the street, you're going to see

430
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:05,680
Speaker 2: police or you're going to see FBI agents.

431
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:06,960
Speaker 3: Gonna have a lot of agents on the.

432
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:11,639
Speaker 2: Streets, and you're gonna have a lot of essentially military,

433
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:14,320
Speaker 2: and we will bring in the military if it's needed.

434
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:18,040
Speaker 2: By the way, we're gonna have National Guard. But Pete

435
00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:20,480
Speaker 2: Hegsath will tell you about it. We will bring in

436
00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:23,840
Speaker 2: the military if needed. People say, oh, that's so terrible.

437
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:27,000
Speaker 2: He's going to bring in Its spent many times over

438
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:27,400
Speaker 2: the years.

439
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:31,360
Speaker 3: I don't think we'll need it. I think we've got

440
00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:32,520
Speaker 3: so many great.

441
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:35,760
Speaker 2: People, including the people that are in the police department.

442
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:41,280
Speaker 2: With proper leadership, they'll immediately begin massive enforcement operations targeting

443
00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:44,040
Speaker 2: known gangs, drug dealers, and criminal networks.

444
00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:45,800
Speaker 3: To get them the hell off the street.

445
00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:47,320
Speaker 2: Maybe get them out of the country, because a lot

446
00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:49,520
Speaker 2: of them came into our country illegally.

447
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:51,800
Speaker 3: They shouldn't have been allowed in. They come from Venezuela,

448
00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:53,520
Speaker 3: they come from all over the world. We're going to

449
00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:55,720
Speaker 3: get them the hell out. They won't be here long.

450
00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:58,640
Speaker 2: But some of these people, a lot of them are

451
00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:03,320
Speaker 2: home grown criminals, and these are bad people.

452
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:04,439
Speaker 3: These are rough people.

453
00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:06,879
Speaker 2: And this is just a list of some of the

454
00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:10,560
Speaker 2: people that were given to me today that were criminals

455
00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:12,640
Speaker 2: removed from the DC streets this weekend.

456
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:17,920
Speaker 3: They were rough, rough and tough. But we're rougher and tougher.

457
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:23,800
Speaker 2: Here nothing. You know, they're not going to be your

458
00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:24,880
Speaker 2: local school teacher.

459
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:29,000
Speaker 3: Who this guy? He has killed people numerous times.

460
00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:32,520
Speaker 1: So Pam Bondi is going to take over the police department.

461
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:36,119
Speaker 1: That's where we're at right now. And heg sat the

462
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:38,919
Speaker 1: Secretary of Defense. We'll bring in the military if he

463
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:43,120
Speaker 1: needs to. So now, if that's the case, they don't

464
00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:46,200
Speaker 1: answer to Muria Bowser anymore, the current mayor of d C.

465
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:49,760
Speaker 1: If you're the mayor to you resign immediately. Does that happen?

466
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:51,080
Speaker 3: All right?

467
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:56,800
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna place my bet here that that's possible.

468
00:26:57,359 --> 00:26:59,000
Speaker 1: You know what, because the first I'm like, yeah, that's

469
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:01,040
Speaker 1: what you'll do. But no, why would you give up

470
00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:04,240
Speaker 1: the power position? That doesn't make any sense. Meanwhile, President

471
00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:07,440
Speaker 1: Tom turning over to Doug Bergham of the Interior, listens.

472
00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:09,480
Speaker 4: This is the oldest federal police force in the nation.

473
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:13,200
Speaker 4: They were formed in seventeen ninety one by none other than.

474
00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:14,800
Speaker 3: President George Washington.

475
00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:19,119
Speaker 4: They've got the awesome responsibility of protecting our nation's most

476
00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:23,399
Speaker 4: sacred monuments in the National Mall, Washington Monument, Jefferson Memorial,

477
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:27,359
Speaker 4: Lincoln Memorial, Statue of Liberty, and out west the Presidio

478
00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:31,720
Speaker 4: and the Golden Gate area. These folks have tens of

479
00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:33,680
Speaker 4: millions of visitors a year, the kind of people that

480
00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:36,320
Speaker 4: President Trump's talking about that come from around the country

481
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:40,200
Speaker 4: and around the world to see our sacred and learn

482
00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:43,520
Speaker 4: about our history and our sacred monuments. They've been doing

483
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:46,120
Speaker 4: a fantastic job. But they are so pleased the rank

484
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:48,280
Speaker 4: and file that President Trump is now allowing them to

485
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:49,480
Speaker 4: enforce the law.

486
00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:51,000
Speaker 3: As those of you that live.

487
00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:53,639
Speaker 4: In the city may know that the circles and the

488
00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:57,480
Speaker 4: triangle parks that are spread throughout DC are actually federal

489
00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:01,320
Speaker 4: park property, so the US Park Police also responsibility for that.

490
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:05,640
Speaker 4: These became littered with homeless camps under the Biden administration.

491
00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:06,560
Speaker 3: All of you saw that.

492
00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:11,040
Speaker 4: Since President Trump's executive order on March twenty seventh, making

493
00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:14,159
Speaker 4: DC Safe and Beautiful again, the US Park Police have

494
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:18,080
Speaker 4: removed over seventy homeless camps. And President Trump also talked

495
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:23,120
Speaker 4: about beautification. They're stopping in enforcing the laws against ORAFFEEDI

496
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:27,040
Speaker 4: again on our monuments. They've removed over eighty specific attacks

497
00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:30,320
Speaker 4: against our history with graffiti on our monuments. So they

498
00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:32,680
Speaker 4: continue to do a great job, whether it's in their vehicles,

499
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:34,920
Speaker 4: on foot, or on the mounted police that you see.

500
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:37,479
Speaker 3: Around the National Mall. And President Trump, they thank you.

501
00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:39,680
Speaker 3: The rank and file is so happy to be enforcing

502
00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:40,240
Speaker 3: the law again.

503
00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:43,680
Speaker 4: Thank you for your leadership, and they're excited about the

504
00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:44,840
Speaker 4: announcement you're making today.

505
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:47,280
Speaker 3: Thank you very good, great job, Thank you very much.

506
00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:50,120
Speaker 3: Could you say something about the military, he.

507
00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:56,520
Speaker 5: Well, Miss President Pede Defense and at your direction, this morning,

508
00:28:56,920 --> 00:28:59,840
Speaker 5: we mobilized the DC National Guard. It'll be operationalized by

509
00:28:59,880 --> 00:29:01,600
Speaker 5: the Secretary of the Army Dan Driscoll.

510
00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:04,240
Speaker 3: Through the DC Guard, you will see.

511
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:06,600
Speaker 5: Them flowing into the streets of Washington in the coming.

512
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:09,320
Speaker 1: Week at your direction as well, Sir, there are other.

513
00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:12,400
Speaker 5: Units we are prepared to bring in, other National Guard units,

514
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:16,360
Speaker 5: other specialized units. They will be strong, they will be tough,

515
00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:19,000
Speaker 5: and they will stand with their law enforcement partners.

516
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:20,160
Speaker 1: This is nothing new for DoD.

517
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:24,120
Speaker 5: As the President noted at the border, we've got ten

518
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:28,680
Speaker 5: thousand troops down there who've been operating in defense cooperation areas,

519
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:30,560
Speaker 5: defense zones.

520
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:33,440
Speaker 1: Where there's zero zero illegal.

521
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:36,239
Speaker 5: Crossings because of troops on strikers scanning the border. We've

522
00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:39,480
Speaker 5: been protecting other people's borders for twenty years. It's about

523
00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:41,920
Speaker 5: time we protect our own. And we're working with ICE

524
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:45,120
Speaker 5: and CBP. In Los Angeles, we did the same thing

525
00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:48,800
Speaker 5: working with the California National Guard, working with ICE officers.

526
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:51,200
Speaker 1: ICE officers deserve to do their job.

527
00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:52,880
Speaker 3: And not be attacked.

528
00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:57,120
Speaker 5: We will work alongside all DC police and federal law

529
00:29:57,160 --> 00:30:01,600
Speaker 5: enforcement to ensure this city is safe. This city is beautiful,

530
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:04,680
Speaker 5: and as I always say about President Trump to the troops,

531
00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:06,800
Speaker 5: he has their back. And my message to the National

532
00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:10,200
Speaker 5: Guard and federal law enforcement in Washington is we have

533
00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:13,840
Speaker 5: your back as well. Be tough, be strong, right behind you,

534
00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:14,680
Speaker 5: Thank you, sure Sting.

535
00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:18,320
Speaker 2: I'm going to ask Pam because she is now, as

536
00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:21,000
Speaker 2: you heard me say, she's really in charge of a

537
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:23,320
Speaker 2: lot of what we're talking about. She's done an incredible

538
00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:26,360
Speaker 2: job and people are going to start to see the fruits.

539
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:26,600
Speaker 3: Of her labor.

540
00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:29,040
Speaker 2: And Pam, maybe you could say a few words about

541
00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:30,720
Speaker 2: what we're talking about here.

542
00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:36,760
Speaker 6: Sure Green. Let me be crystal clear. Crime in d

543
00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:39,720
Speaker 6: C is ending and ending today. We are going to

544
00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:43,760
Speaker 6: use every power we have to fight criminals here. President,

545
00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:47,720
Speaker 6: thank you for caring about our capital. Families come here

546
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:52,280
Speaker 6: every summer. Our museums are free. We have the National Zoo,

547
00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:56,560
Speaker 6: we have the National Gallery. DC should be a place

548
00:30:56,600 --> 00:31:00,560
Speaker 6: where everyone can come and feel safe. Behind me and

549
00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:01,520
Speaker 6: to my side.

550
00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:02,520
Speaker 3: We have some of the.

551
00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:06,760
Speaker 6: Best career law enforcement and prosecutors in the country who

552
00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:10,360
Speaker 6: are ready to take this on. As the President said,

553
00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:16,120
Speaker 6: Terry Cole is going to be supervising the Metro Police Department.

554
00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:21,120
Speaker 6: Gaddy Serralta, our US Marshall is going to be supervising

555
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:27,880
Speaker 6: command and control the entire operation. Our Deputy Attorney General

556
00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:30,440
Speaker 6: Todd Blanche and I will be working with them closely,

557
00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:35,160
Speaker 6: along with our great FBI Director Cash Fattel. Cash is

558
00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:36,720
Speaker 6: going to talk to you in a minute about what

559
00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:40,320
Speaker 6: we did in Virginia recently with Governor Younkin. Many of

560
00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:44,600
Speaker 6: you covered that and it was tremendously successful. Not only that,

561
00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:48,360
Speaker 6: our secret weapon here in DC is US Attorney Jennine Piro,

562
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:52,440
Speaker 6: one of the toughest prosecutors and a former judge, and

563
00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:55,280
Speaker 6: she is going to be talking about juvenile crime, how

564
00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:58,080
Speaker 6: it's out of control here and what she's going to do.

565
00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:01,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is going to make the lest completely insane,

566
00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:04,880
Speaker 1: which I'm fine with. Hopefully we'll hear from Judgjenine and

567
00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:08,600
Speaker 1: Cash Battel. We still call it Judgejenine coming up. This

568
00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:13,760
Speaker 1: the takeover of DC by the federal government. This is happening.

569
00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:16,320
Speaker 1: Keep it here. I'm Tony Kats. This is Tony Kats today.

570
00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:19,840
Speaker 1: There is no stop in this press conference. Tony Katz,

571
00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:23,680
Speaker 1: Tony Katz today. Good to be with you. Pam Bondi

572
00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:27,880
Speaker 1: speaking Cash Battel and now speaking the FBI Director.

573
00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:30,960
Speaker 7: Thank you, turning General Bondi for your leadership, Deputy Turny General,

574
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:32,600
Speaker 7: the rest of our interagency partners.

575
00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:34,040
Speaker 1: Mister President.

576
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:34,920
Speaker 3: The following is.

577
00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:37,080
Speaker 6: What happens when you let good cops be cops, and I.

578
00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:39,680
Speaker 7: Just want to highlight that before I get into Northern Virginia.

579
00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:42,880
Speaker 7: This year alone, under President Trump's administration, we've had over

580
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:46,400
Speaker 7: four thousand child victims identified and found. That's a thirty

581
00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:49,640
Speaker 7: three percent increase from the same time period last year.

582
00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:51,480
Speaker 1: Thirty three percent increase.

583
00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:55,720
Speaker 7: We've had a seizure one five hundred kilograms of fentanyl

584
00:32:56,040 --> 00:32:58,960
Speaker 7: this up to the state. That is a twenty five

585
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:01,840
Speaker 7: percent increase since the same time period last year.

586
00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:04,200
Speaker 1: And just to put it in perspective.

587
00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:06,760
Speaker 7: Five hundred kilograms of fentanyl is enough to kill one

588
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:11,240
Speaker 7: hundred and fifteen million Americans. One hundred and fifteen million Americans.

589
00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:12,600
Speaker 1: Cops are getting after it.

590
00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:17,280
Speaker 7: The FBI has arrested nineteen thousand people this year alone

591
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:21,160
Speaker 7: thanks to President Trump's administrations. That's double than where we

592
00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:24,640
Speaker 7: were this time last year. And we have also arrested

593
00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:28,600
Speaker 7: one six hundred people who have committed violent acts against children.

594
00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:33,720
Speaker 7: Children two hundred and seventy of them are human traffickers

595
00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:34,440
Speaker 7: of children.

596
00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:38,240
Speaker 1: That's just some of Cash Pattel. They're the FBI director

597
00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:43,800
Speaker 1: engaged in this conversation also, and I'm telling you the

598
00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:46,320
Speaker 1: left is going to go nuts. You're taking over our cities.

599
00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:50,760
Speaker 1: This is authoritarian. Wait do you see the polling where

600
00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:54,680
Speaker 1: the people say finally because the thing they will not

601
00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:57,160
Speaker 1: discuss and worthy of our attention. As I think it's

602
00:33:57,200 --> 00:34:00,640
Speaker 1: going to go to Judge Piro right now, I want

603
00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:04,320
Speaker 1: to bring it to her, is that this is not

604
00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:08,920
Speaker 1: about somehow changing the law. This is about enforcement of

605
00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:13,920
Speaker 1: the law and changing the dynamic. And this certainly when

606
00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:17,760
Speaker 1: it comes to DC well within the confines of the law, unquestionably,

607
00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:21,600
Speaker 1: not a doubt not I don't think there's any legal

608
00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:26,080
Speaker 1: argument against. But what you're going to see, if I

609
00:34:26,200 --> 00:34:29,120
Speaker 1: understand the Tea leaves right, this is going to be

610
00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:32,359
Speaker 1: a signal to governors, what are you able to do

611
00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:37,040
Speaker 1: about your cities red states that have blue cities that

612
00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:39,520
Speaker 1: are failing. What are you about to do? What can

613
00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:42,040
Speaker 1: you do? What are you willing to do? Well, maybe

614
00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:45,160
Speaker 1: there's an answer to that question. Maybe there's a demand

615
00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:50,000
Speaker 1: to expose the absolute failure of progressive leadership. We've seen

616
00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:53,000
Speaker 1: it a million times. We have seen it a million

617
00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:56,600
Speaker 1: times in these cities. Is it going to change Los Angeles?

618
00:34:56,680 --> 00:34:59,399
Speaker 1: Of course not, guys. It can't change Los Angeles. Los

619
00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:02,840
Speaker 1: Angeles is is run by progressives. And the state is

620
00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:05,840
Speaker 1: as well. Is he going to change Illinois? I mean Chicago,

621
00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:09,600
Speaker 1: of course not. Chicago's run by progressives and the state

622
00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:12,799
Speaker 1: is as well. Is it going to change New York? Well?

623
00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:15,440
Speaker 1: Eric Adams is a little bit better than Bill Deblasio,

624
00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:17,880
Speaker 1: and I would think he's a lot better than zarnmmdani.

625
00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:21,680
Speaker 1: But when you have Kathy Hlkel as your governor, who

626
00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:26,080
Speaker 1: is you know? I don't think Gavin Newsom is dumb.

627
00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:28,320
Speaker 1: I just disagree with him. I think he's gross. I

628
00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:31,600
Speaker 1: don't think he's dumb. I don't think JB. Pritzker is dumb.

629
00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:35,839
Speaker 1: I think his politics are horrific. Kathy Hokele ain't bright.

630
00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:40,839
Speaker 1: And that's all there is to this. The accidental only

631
00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:43,520
Speaker 1: governor because Andrew Cmo couldn't keep it in his pants,

632
00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:46,400
Speaker 1: couldn't keep his hands to himself. I mean that's the story,

633
00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:50,080
Speaker 1: never mind all the people he killed. But I think COVID,

634
00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:53,239
Speaker 1: I think this is an argument that's going to go

635
00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:56,919
Speaker 1: to red states. Do you have blue cities? Here's how

636
00:35:56,960 --> 00:36:00,680
