1 00:00:01,160 --> 00:00:04,640 Speaker 1: Donald Trump promised all Americans, no matter where you lived, 2 00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:07,280 Speaker 1: even in a liberal city, that he was going to 3 00:00:07,320 --> 00:00:10,320 Speaker 1: do everything in his power to keep you safe. He 4 00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:13,400 Speaker 1: also said he was going to crack down on drugs, cartels, 5 00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:17,720 Speaker 1: naming them terrorists organizations, and stopping the flow of illegal 6 00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:21,400 Speaker 1: immigrants across the southern border. Well, the president is making 7 00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:24,520 Speaker 1: good on all of those promises, and now there's a 8 00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:28,520 Speaker 1: new one, and it's making liberals lose their mind. The 9 00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:33,320 Speaker 1: President invokes section seven forty of the District of Columbia 10 00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:37,920 Speaker 1: Home Rule Act, allowing him to take over the Metropolitan 11 00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:42,360 Speaker 1: Police Department and deploy the National Guard under declaration of 12 00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:47,400 Speaker 1: a public safety emergency. Democrats, of course, are angry that 13 00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:50,159 Speaker 1: the president United States of America may actually save lives, 14 00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:53,160 Speaker 1: get drugs off the streets, and restore law and order 15 00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:56,480 Speaker 1: to our nation's capital. So what are they doing. They're saying, 16 00:00:56,640 --> 00:01:00,480 Speaker 1: this is what a dictator and a tyrant would do. Yes, 17 00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:03,800 Speaker 1: Democrats are so unhinged now they're claiming that as the 18 00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:08,720 Speaker 1: President's trying to save lives, that he's somehow a dictator. Now, 19 00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:11,600 Speaker 1: the scale of the deployment will be up to eight 20 00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:15,399 Speaker 1: hundred National Guard troops and around five hundred federal law 21 00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:20,800 Speaker 1: enforcement personnel, including over one hundred FBI agents, plus members 22 00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:25,560 Speaker 1: from the DEA, the ATF, ICE, and US marshals. They're 23 00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:29,240 Speaker 1: all being deployed to patrol the streets in Washington, d C. 24 00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:34,200 Speaker 1: Trump's justification very simple. He described the city as descending 25 00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:38,120 Speaker 1: into chaos, using words like bloodshed to frame the intervention 26 00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:44,000 Speaker 1: as a liberation day. He warned similar federal actions could 27 00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:47,080 Speaker 1: extend to other big cities, such as New York and 28 00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:51,240 Speaker 1: Los Angeles. Now, what does the crime data show? It 29 00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:54,600 Speaker 1: actually shows, thank goodness, that violent crime across the country 30 00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:58,240 Speaker 1: is coming down. Why because the present's backing law enforcement 31 00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:00,560 Speaker 1: and allowing them to do their job up and we're 32 00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:04,480 Speaker 1: also witnessing ICE agents taking hardened criminals off the streets 33 00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:08,519 Speaker 1: that are in the country illegally. This is exactly why 34 00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:13,480 Speaker 1: the president is having such success. Now, local responses are 35 00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:17,240 Speaker 1: obviously different depending on if you're a Democrat or Republican. 36 00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:21,800 Speaker 1: Mayor Bowser condemned the move as quote unsettling in DC 37 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:26,600 Speaker 1: and unprecedented, asserting the city doesn't meet legal criteria she 38 00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:30,280 Speaker 1: claims for a federal emergency. Yes, she cares more about 39 00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:34,320 Speaker 1: playing politics than saving lives. She puts instead for more 40 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:41,120 Speaker 1: judicial resources and staffing. Again, bureaucracy over policing. DC's Attorney 41 00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:44,680 Speaker 1: General is exploring legal options. They're saying as well, and 42 00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:48,200 Speaker 1: the DC City Council members called the move an intrusion 43 00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:53,040 Speaker 1: on local authority quote unquote, this is all politics for 44 00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:56,640 Speaker 1: them instead of actually protecting Americans. I want you to 45 00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:58,960 Speaker 1: hear what the President had to say as he announces 46 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,240 Speaker 1: to the White House in his own words. 47 00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:06,600 Speaker 2: I'm announcing a historic action to rescue our nation's capital 48 00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:12,640 Speaker 2: from crime, bloodshed, bedlam, and squalor and worse. This is 49 00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:16,440 Speaker 2: Liberation Day in DC, and we're going to take our 50 00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:20,960 Speaker 2: capital back. We're taking it back under the authorities vested 51 00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:23,480 Speaker 2: in me as the President of the United States. I'm 52 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:27,920 Speaker 2: officially invoking Section seventy forty of the District of Columbia 53 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:31,359 Speaker 2: Home Rule Act. You know what that is, and placing 54 00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:36,600 Speaker 2: the DC Metropolitan Police Department under direct federal control. And 55 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:40,040 Speaker 2: you'll be meeting the people that will be directly involved 56 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:46,680 Speaker 2: with that. Very good people, but they're tough and they 57 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:50,000 Speaker 2: know what's happening, and they've done it before. In addition, 58 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:53,839 Speaker 2: I'm deploying the National Guard to help re establish law 59 00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:57,800 Speaker 2: order of public safety in Washington, d C. And they're 60 00:03:57,840 --> 00:03:59,680 Speaker 2: going to be allowed to do their job properly. 61 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:03,040 Speaker 1: They're going to be allowed to do their job properly. 62 00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:05,800 Speaker 1: That is the core point of what President Trump has 63 00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:08,280 Speaker 1: been saying over and over again when it comes to 64 00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:14,000 Speaker 1: law enforcement. Let law enforcement officers do their jobs the 65 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:17,000 Speaker 1: right way. Now, how do we get to this point? Well, 66 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:20,640 Speaker 1: the President also talked about the radicals in DC, for example, 67 00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:24,239 Speaker 1: having no cash bail, and it's putting people's lives at risk. 68 00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:28,720 Speaker 2: This dire public safety crisis stem is directly from the 69 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:33,520 Speaker 2: abject failures of the city's local leadership. The radical left 70 00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:38,359 Speaker 2: city Council adopted no cash bail. By the way, every 71 00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:40,680 Speaker 2: place in the country where you have no cash bail 72 00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:43,800 Speaker 2: is a disaster. That's what started the problem in New York, 73 00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:46,560 Speaker 2: and they don't change it. They don't want to change it. 74 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:51,640 Speaker 2: That's what started it in Chicago. I mean, bad politicians 75 00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:54,599 Speaker 2: started and bad leadership started it. But that was the 76 00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:58,039 Speaker 2: one thing that's central, no cash bail. Somebody murders somebody 77 00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:01,440 Speaker 2: and they're out on no cash bail before the day 78 00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:05,520 Speaker 2: is out. We're going to end that in Chicago. We're 79 00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:09,000 Speaker 2: going to change the statute. I spoke with Pam and 80 00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:11,400 Speaker 2: Todd and everybody. We're going to change the statue. And 81 00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:13,760 Speaker 2: I'm gonna have to get the Republicans of oh because 82 00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:17,359 Speaker 2: the Democrats are week on crime, totally, week on. 83 00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:23,320 Speaker 1: Crime, totally, week on crime. The stats say he's absolutely accurate, 84 00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:26,080 Speaker 1: and the President of United States of America saying, this 85 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:30,120 Speaker 1: is our moment to shine, to take back our nation's capital, 86 00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:32,520 Speaker 1: and we're not going to allow Democrats to hold us 87 00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:37,160 Speaker 1: hostage any longer. Ag BONDI also saying this about what's 88 00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:38,000 Speaker 1: happening in DC. 89 00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:41,599 Speaker 3: Let me be crystal clear. Crime in d C is 90 00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:45,040 Speaker 3: ending and ending today. We are going to use every 91 00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:48,599 Speaker 3: power we have to fight criminals here. President, thank you 92 00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:53,159 Speaker 3: for caring about our capital. Families come here every summer. 93 00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:57,240 Speaker 3: Our museums are free. We have the National Zoo, we 94 00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:01,239 Speaker 3: have the National Gallery. There should be a place where 95 00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:03,880 Speaker 3: everyone can come and feel safe. 96 00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:08,760 Speaker 1: It's all about safety. That is the present's number one 97 00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:13,440 Speaker 1: priority for all Americans, and yet Democrats are doing everything 98 00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:16,480 Speaker 1: they can to try to stop the President from accomplishing 99 00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:20,920 Speaker 1: this goal. Donald Trump also saying this as well about 100 00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:22,280 Speaker 1: what's happening in DC. 101 00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:27,440 Speaker 2: Becoming a situation of complete and total lawlessness. And we're 102 00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 2: getting rid of the slums too. We have slums here, 103 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,080 Speaker 2: we're getting rid of them. I know it's not politically correct, 104 00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:35,160 Speaker 2: you'll say, oh, so terrible. No, we're getting rid of 105 00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:36,920 Speaker 2: the slums where they live. 106 00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:41,360 Speaker 1: We're getting rid of the slums. Now. You listen also 107 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:44,080 Speaker 1: to something else on this Liberation Day, and that is 108 00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:47,440 Speaker 1: again the President saying we're taking our capital back. The 109 00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:50,839 Speaker 1: man who's in charge of the Department of Defense, Pete Headseth, 110 00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:53,360 Speaker 1: went on Laura Ingrams Show, and this is what he 111 00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:55,960 Speaker 1: had to say about what the President has ordered him 112 00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:56,520 Speaker 1: to do. 113 00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:01,440 Speaker 4: This capital belongs to all Americans, and starting now, we're 114 00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:05,200 Speaker 4: taking it back. And that's the angle. Secretary of Defense, 115 00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:08,000 Speaker 4: Pete Hegseth, was given the tall order of handling this 116 00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:10,880 Speaker 4: and he's here with me exclusively. Mister Secretary, thank you 117 00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:14,440 Speaker 4: for joining us tonight. So the President called this a 118 00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:17,640 Speaker 4: public safety emergency, and you said, we're going to start 119 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:20,800 Speaker 4: seeing the National Guard this week, tell us. 120 00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:23,800 Speaker 5: More this week and incoming weeks, and we're going to 121 00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:27,800 Speaker 5: work right alongside our law enforcement partners as force multipliers. 122 00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:30,600 Speaker 5: This is what the American people voted for Laura. This 123 00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:33,960 Speaker 5: is what the common sense clarity strength. I hadn't heard 124 00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:35,800 Speaker 5: that story from President Trump before the story he told 125 00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:38,760 Speaker 5: about his father that he told them, hey, son, if 126 00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:40,520 Speaker 5: you look at the front door of a restaurant and 127 00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:43,040 Speaker 5: it's dirty, then I bet the kitchen you can count 128 00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:44,880 Speaker 5: on the fact that the kitchen is too And sat 129 00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:47,560 Speaker 5: there thinking that's exactly right. If our capital city is 130 00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:50,520 Speaker 5: a mess, if we can't control our capital city, then 131 00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:52,200 Speaker 5: what does the rest of the country look like and 132 00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:54,600 Speaker 5: what signals does the rest of the country take from that? So, 133 00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:56,640 Speaker 5: just like we did in Los Angeles, alongside our federal 134 00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,239 Speaker 5: law we took a lot of criticism for four thousand troops, 135 00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:01,720 Speaker 5: seven hundred marine You know what we didn't get. There 136 00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:04,080 Speaker 5: was no summer of love in twenty twenty There was 137 00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:06,800 Speaker 5: in twenty twenty five. There was a summer of law enforcement, 138 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:10,080 Speaker 5: and we quelled the protests of the attacks on ice officers. 139 00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:12,880 Speaker 5: We're going to help get DC under control by working 140 00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:16,760 Speaker 5: with local officials who have been federalized, with federal officials 141 00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:19,000 Speaker 5: who were coming in. The DC Guards proud to be 142 00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:21,640 Speaker 5: a part of it. Other states will contribute this week, 143 00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:24,640 Speaker 5: going into the weeks to come. Whatever's needed, the DoD 144 00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:26,960 Speaker 5: will provide to make sure this is a safe city 145 00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:29,560 Speaker 5: for those who live here, for those that work here, 146 00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:31,840 Speaker 5: and the Americans who want to come visit here and 147 00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:32,959 Speaker 5: love our capital city. 148 00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:37,320 Speaker 4: The question of martial law keeps getting raised by the 149 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:40,959 Speaker 4: left that Donald Trump and Pete hegsith they want to 150 00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:46,280 Speaker 4: impose martial law as authoritarians would. To that, you said to. 151 00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:47,679 Speaker 5: That, I say, look at Los Angeles. 152 00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:48,880 Speaker 3: They said the exact same thing. 153 00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:52,520 Speaker 5: Oh look, oh look, four thousand troops California National Guard. 154 00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:54,679 Speaker 5: Oh look the Marines. You can't put in the Marines. 155 00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:57,800 Speaker 5: They were the troops available to ensure that we de 156 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:01,760 Speaker 5: escalated the situation and didn't allow other law breakers to say, look, 157 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:03,720 Speaker 5: it's wide open, we can do whatever we want in 158 00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:07,079 Speaker 5: these sanctuary cities. I was told, oh, you're going to 159 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:10,480 Speaker 5: lock up political opponents, You're going to go after democrats, YadA, YadA. 160 00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:13,920 Speaker 5: It's the same stuff every time, mischaracterizing our intentions. The 161 00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:16,520 Speaker 5: intentions of this president is to establish law and order 162 00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:20,280 Speaker 5: using legal and lawful and constitutional means, which he completely 163 00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:21,840 Speaker 5: has and you know what, you know why they don't 164 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:23,920 Speaker 5: like him. He's got the guts to do it. He's 165 00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:26,079 Speaker 5: got the guts to say, I'm going to federalize the 166 00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:28,080 Speaker 5: police that are that don't work. I'm going to bring 167 00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:30,960 Speaker 5: in the National guard. I'm going to bring in federal marshals. 168 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:34,280 Speaker 5: I'm going to bring in the park police. 169 00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:37,120 Speaker 4: What is the cost money? 170 00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:37,319 Speaker 2: Right? 171 00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:41,320 Speaker 4: It cost money? And the question is are you there 172 00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:43,440 Speaker 4: for a year? Are you there for six months? And 173 00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:46,360 Speaker 4: when the troops pull out? What happened? 174 00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:48,560 Speaker 5: I would call this conditions based. I would say it's 175 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:52,320 Speaker 5: a situation where we're here to support law enforcement. Uh 176 00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:54,040 Speaker 5: and the more we can free them up to do 177 00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:56,319 Speaker 5: their job, the more effective they can be, the more 178 00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:57,960 Speaker 5: we can work it. I mean, this isn't my realm, 179 00:09:57,960 --> 00:09:59,920 Speaker 5: but the justice system to make sure people who are 180 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,600 Speaker 5: arrested are actually locked up. That's why the president's talking 181 00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:05,160 Speaker 5: about cash list, bear bill and sanctuary cities. If you're 182 00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:07,320 Speaker 5: illegal here in DC, that's going to be a problem. 183 00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:09,679 Speaker 5: So all of these things that apply to law and 184 00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:12,400 Speaker 5: order are are front and center for us. And I 185 00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:14,599 Speaker 5: don't know, weeks, months, what will it take. That's the 186 00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:16,559 Speaker 5: President's call, but we're going to be there for him 187 00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:18,360 Speaker 5: to execute as swiftly as possible. 188 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:22,960 Speaker 1: Then as swiftly as possible.

I want to also let you hear part 234 00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:59,920 Speaker 1: of the conversation that Centator Cruz and I had early. 235 00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,840 Speaker 1: He's in DC all the time, I used to live there. 236 00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:05,439 Speaker 1: I'm there all the time, and just how bad crime 237 00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:08,880 Speaker 1: has gotten and exactly why the President's got the support 238 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:11,720 Speaker 1: of so many in Congress behind this issue as well. 239 00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:14,679 Speaker 1: And I want you to hear again how bad it 240 00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:17,800 Speaker 1: is and the reality on the ground in Washington, d C. 241 00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:20,440 Speaker 1: So you understand more of why the President's doing this now. 242 00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:23,000 Speaker 1: All right, So, Senator you and I are doing the show, 243 00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:26,200 Speaker 1: and just a half hour ago I got off of 244 00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:30,640 Speaker 1: yelling at the commis over at CNN. They're literally unhinged 245 00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:33,760 Speaker 1: right now, going insane over the fact that that would 246 00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:36,280 Speaker 1: be a trying to fight crime. That would be all 247 00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:38,400 Speaker 1: of them, Yes, that would be all of them. And 248 00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:40,839 Speaker 1: it was hysterical because they're like, well, this is what 249 00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:42,839 Speaker 1: dictators and tyrants. He I was like, hold on a second, 250 00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:46,600 Speaker 1: dictators and tyrants are trying to put criminals in jail 251 00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:49,520 Speaker 1: and save people's lives. That's your talking point, Like, well, 252 00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:51,560 Speaker 1: where's he going to stop if he does this in 253 00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:53,400 Speaker 1: d C. I'm like, well, he did it in DC 254 00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:57,000 Speaker 1: because there's special rules for DC. There's a reason why 255 00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:59,520 Speaker 1: I did it there, and he's not done it anywhere else. Like, well, 256 00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:01,120 Speaker 1: you know, he's just going to do this and be 257 00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:04,160 Speaker 1: a dictator and take over LA or Baltimore. I'm like, 258 00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:07,080 Speaker 1: you guys are crazy. And again you're angry at Donald 259 00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:09,960 Speaker 1: Trump for fighting crime, which is out of control in DC, 260 00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:12,240 Speaker 1: a place you spend a large part of your week 261 00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:12,800 Speaker 1: every week. 262 00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:18,000 Speaker 6: Well, look, DC has gotten seriously dangerous and and I'll 263 00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:21,760 Speaker 6: tell you people going to work in DC, people living 264 00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:24,040 Speaker 6: in DC are concerned for their safety. They're concerned for 265 00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:26,360 Speaker 6: the safety of their families. They're concerned for the safety 266 00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:30,560 Speaker 6: of their spouses and their children. You know, Rand Paul 267 00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:34,960 Speaker 6: had a Capitol Hill staffer who was stabbed walking along 268 00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:38,080 Speaker 6: the sidewalk in the middle of the afternoon. There was 269 00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:40,520 Speaker 6: a man who served in the first Trump administration who 270 00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:44,120 Speaker 6: was in his car at five pm on the streets. 271 00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:47,920 Speaker 6: He was shot in the head and murdered. This violence 272 00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:53,760 Speaker 6: is the direct result of disastrous Democrat policies that have 273 00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:57,800 Speaker 6: handcuffed the police, that that have limited the ability of 274 00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:00,760 Speaker 6: the police to go after violent criminal and the result 275 00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:04,040 Speaker 6: is DC's become a very dangerous place. So what happened 276 00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:08,160 Speaker 6: President Trump Monday morning? He announced it a press conference, quote, 277 00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:11,600 Speaker 6: this is liberation Day in d C. And We're going 278 00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:14,920 Speaker 6: to take our capital back. And he declared a public 279 00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:19,680 Speaker 6: safety emergency, and he took two actions. Number one, he 280 00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:23,280 Speaker 6: invoked section seven forty of the d C Home Rule Act, 281 00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:27,800 Speaker 6: placing the DC Police directly under federal control. And number two, 282 00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:31,400 Speaker 6: he signed a memorandum to the Secretary of Defense to 283 00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:35,520 Speaker 6: utilize the National Guard. He placed DA Administrator Terry Cole 284 00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:39,960 Speaker 6: as the interim Federal Commissioner of DC Police. And he 285 00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:44,840 Speaker 6: also announced plans to temporarily reassign one hundred and twenty 286 00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:50,000 Speaker 6: FBI agents in d C to night time patrol duties. 287 00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:53,880 Speaker 6: All of that was announced today. And the reason he 288 00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:57,240 Speaker 6: did it is he walked about the statistics about d 289 00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:02,360 Speaker 6: C crime. D C's murder rate is higher than that 290 00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:05,840 Speaker 6: of many cities around the globe. DC's murder rate is 291 00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:10,400 Speaker 6: higher than Bogota, Columbia. DC has one of the highest 292 00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:14,280 Speaker 6: murder rates among large US cities. Nationwide, the homicide rate 293 00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:18,680 Speaker 6: is more than twenty seven murders per one hundred thousand residents. 294 00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:21,640 Speaker 6: That was in twenty twenty four. Vehicle theft in d 295 00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:26,720 Speaker 6: C is more than three times the national average, with 296 00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:30,160 Speaker 6: eight hundred and forty two point four thefts per hundred 297 00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:35,560 Speaker 6: thousand residents. It is among the most dangerous cities globally, 298 00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:40,160 Speaker 6: and in recent years the number of car thefts has 299 00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:44,960 Speaker 6: doubled and the number of car jackings has tripled. Look, 300 00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:48,120 Speaker 6: I had actually while I was recording Verdict. I don't 301 00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:49,840 Speaker 6: know if you know this story, but years ago when 302 00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:53,960 Speaker 6: Verdict just started, while I was recording Verdict, we had 303 00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:57,600 Speaker 6: the truck that I was driving in parked on the 304 00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:00,000 Speaker 6: d C streets and we went down to the TV 305 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:03,800 Speaker 6: studios in the basement for that. And while the truck 306 00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:07,400 Speaker 6: was on the streets, someone broke into the windows, shattered 307 00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:10,159 Speaker 6: them open, and stole my briefcase. Took my briefcase with 308 00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:13,840 Speaker 6: my computer and my iPad and took the whole thing. 309 00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:16,320 Speaker 1: You didn't have classified documents in there, did you? You know? 310 00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:20,080 Speaker 1: I did not have them randomly there? Okay, I'm liking sure. 311 00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:22,200 Speaker 1: Otherwise that would have been some big news here. 312 00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:26,679 Speaker 6: Unlike Joe Biden, I've never removed classified documents from a secure, 313 00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:31,040 Speaker 6: compartmentalized facility. Unlike Sandy Berger, who was Bill Clinton's National 314 00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:35,120 Speaker 6: security advisor, I've never stuffed classified documents in my underwear 315 00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:37,240 Speaker 6: or in my socks to try to smuggle them out. 316 00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:40,160 Speaker 6: So no, it was just annoying. And by the way, 317 00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:44,960 Speaker 6: here's a stat about carjackings. In recent years, the number 318 00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:50,919 Speaker 6: of carjackings in in DC has tripled, and one of 319 00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:55,119 Speaker 6: those victims of carjackings was was Congressman Henry Quayar, a 320 00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:58,960 Speaker 6: Texas congressman. Again, it was the evening time. He was 321 00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:03,320 Speaker 6: just coming home with his dinner and he was carjacked 322 00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:09,960 Speaker 6: in front of his apartment where apparently numerous members of 323 00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:13,760 Speaker 6: Congress live in this apartment building. And he, a member 324 00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:18,359 Speaker 6: of Congress, was carjacked. And so President Trump is acting directly, 325 00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:24,520 Speaker 6: and apparently one of the motivations from this is that 326 00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:29,080 Speaker 6: a White House staffer named Edward Korusta, and he's a 327 00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:32,800 Speaker 6: Doge staffer and his nickname is Big Balls. And I 328 00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:34,520 Speaker 6: will say, by the way, one of the funniest things 329 00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:36,760 Speaker 6: I've ever seen is because he was working in DOGE. 330 00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:39,840 Speaker 6: It forced Data Bash and CNN to say the words 331 00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:44,119 Speaker 6: big balls like nineteen different times on air, which I 332 00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:47,479 Speaker 6: have to admit I couldn't watch the segment without doubling 333 00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:52,120 Speaker 6: over laughing. Well, apparently, this young man, unfortunately was assaulted 334 00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:56,080 Speaker 6: over the weekend by about ten juveniles near DuPont Circle. 335 00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:58,840 Speaker 6: And so when a nineteen year old staffer in the 336 00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:02,280 Speaker 6: White House can't be safe in DC, the President, I think, 337 00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:04,160 Speaker 6: should act, and that's what President Trump has done. 338 00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:07,960 Speaker 1: So it's amazing how mad they are that he's actually 339 00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:10,680 Speaker 1: trying to fight crime, and it's actually pretty simple. He's 340 00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:14,000 Speaker 1: saying it's out of control. The numbers are out of control. 341 00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:16,600 Speaker 1: The data shows it's out of control, and yes, the 342 00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:19,080 Speaker 1: numbers have come down this year, thank goodness. Part that's 343 00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:21,040 Speaker 1: because I think law and order and the President advocating 344 00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:23,720 Speaker 1: for law enforcement all over the country and allowing law 345 00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:26,000 Speaker 1: enforcement to be empowered to do their job and ice 346 00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:30,640 Speaker 1: agents to do their job. But they're actually angry at 347 00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:35,800 Speaker 1: him because he's doing something that they say is out 348 00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:39,080 Speaker 1: of his job description. And they're like, this is what 349 00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:41,560 Speaker 1: dictators and tyrants do. And I go back to that line, 350 00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:44,760 Speaker 1: I'm like, wait, dictators and tyrants are fighting crime like 351 00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:46,440 Speaker 1: that's a bad thing, really. 352 00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:52,480 Speaker 6: Well, and the federal government has authority over DC explicitly 353 00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:56,480 Speaker 6: under the Constitution. Article one, Section eight, Clause seventeen of 354 00:19:56,520 --> 00:20:02,800 Speaker 6: the Constitution gives Congress quote exclusive legislation over DC, and 355 00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:07,479 Speaker 6: Congress through its delegate, the DC Council designated that the 356 00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:12,840 Speaker 6: President serves as the DC National Guards Commander in chief, 357 00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:16,240 Speaker 6: and that's in DC Code section forty nine, Dash four 358 00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:19,320 Speaker 6: O nine, which reads, quote, the President of the United 359 00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:21,880 Speaker 6: States shall be the Commander in Chief of the Militia 360 00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:25,000 Speaker 6: of the District of Columbia. There's an executive order from 361 00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:27,760 Speaker 6: nineteen sixty nine that delegates the day to day authority 362 00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:30,840 Speaker 6: over the DC Guard from the President to the Secretary 363 00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:33,159 Speaker 6: of Defense, who further delegates it to the Secretary of 364 00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:37,080 Speaker 6: the Army. So there's explicit authority to authorize the National 365 00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:43,320 Speaker 6: Guard and also Congress in nineteen seventy three pastor law 366 00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:45,640 Speaker 6: called the Home Rule Act. And what the Home Rule 367 00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:49,359 Speaker 6: Act does is it gives the President explicitly the power 368 00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:54,399 Speaker 6: to take control of the DC Police quote, whenever he 369 00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:59,560 Speaker 6: determines that special conditions of an emergency nature exist which 370 00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:03,320 Speaker 6: require the use of the Metropolitan Police Force for federal purposes, 371 00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:06,639 Speaker 6: and that statute. The Home Rule Act further says the 372 00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:11,800 Speaker 6: mayor shall provide, shall not may shall provide the police 373 00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:16,800 Speaker 6: quote as the President may deem necessary and appropriate, not 374 00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:19,440 Speaker 6: as the mayor deems, not as the city Council deems 375 00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:23,080 Speaker 6: as the President may deem. And the authority is limited 376 00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:27,280 Speaker 6: to forty eight hours unless the President sends notice to 377 00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:31,120 Speaker 6: the Congressional Committees on DC justifying the action, at which 378 00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:34,040 Speaker 6: point the authority is limited to thirty days. Trump has 379 00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:37,639 Speaker 6: said he's sent that notice this morning. This section has 380 00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:41,879 Speaker 6: never been invoked before, but it is explicit, unequivocal statutor 381 00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:44,560 Speaker 6: authority to do what he did. And the fact that 382 00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:46,800 Speaker 6: democrats of the media are losing their mind is they 383 00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:49,960 Speaker 6: don't like the fact that he's exercising clear legal authority 384 00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:55,960 Speaker 6: and clear legal authority that he's using precisely because the 385 00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:59,359 Speaker 6: DC mayor and the DC City Council have refused to 386 00:21:59,400 --> 00:21:59,920 Speaker 6: do their job. 387 00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:02,520 Speaker 1: It's amazing that they refuse to do their job. And 388 00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:05,520 Speaker 1: even now the police union coming out this is part 389 00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:07,639 Speaker 1: of that story. I think it's really important so people 390 00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:11,080 Speaker 1: understand reality compared to how the media is covering this. 391 00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:14,879 Speaker 1: The police union has come out and said thank you 392 00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:17,359 Speaker 1: to the president and said we need your help because 393 00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:20,399 Speaker 1: we have so many officers down. And they're like, we 394 00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:23,120 Speaker 1: are asking and telling the president thank you. And that's 395 00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:26,439 Speaker 1: the police union who is saying this, And yet the 396 00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:28,560 Speaker 1: mayor is still like, well, I don't know about this. 397 00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:30,800 Speaker 1: I'm like, if your police union is telling you you 398 00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:34,000 Speaker 1: need the help, why would you not just say, let's 399 00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:38,080 Speaker 1: put politics aside here, Let's work with the president. Let's 400 00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:41,040 Speaker 1: work with the National Guard. Let's get things safe at 401 00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:44,119 Speaker 1: the metro stations where we see a large upticking crime. 402 00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:46,560 Speaker 1: Let's let me tell you where I could use this 403 00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:49,479 Speaker 1: National Guard, where you could put it and do this 404 00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:51,439 Speaker 1: in a by Parson way. But again it goes back 405 00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:54,159 Speaker 1: to this Trump arrangement syndrome, that right, Orange man is 406 00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:56,399 Speaker 1: always bad even if he's fighting crime. 407 00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:01,280 Speaker 6: Yeah, but it's not just that it's the today's Democrat 408 00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:05,320 Speaker 6: party can't stand the police. It used to be there 409 00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:08,840 Speaker 6: was a time when when police unions, many of them 410 00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:13,240 Speaker 6: were Democrats. I will tell you as I travel the country, 411 00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:15,800 Speaker 6: everywhere I go and especially blue cities, when I arrived 412 00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:18,240 Speaker 6: in a city like New York, in a city like Chicago. 413 00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:20,639 Speaker 6: When I when I got off the plane in Chicago, 414 00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:25,879 Speaker 6: I'm often greeted by four, five, six, eight police officers, 415 00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:28,480 Speaker 6: unified cops, uniform cops who will come up to me 416 00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:30,880 Speaker 6: and they just say thank you. They'll give me their 417 00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:35,400 Speaker 6: patches and they feel so belieguer and I tell them 418 00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:37,439 Speaker 6: this is something I try to make a point. And 419 00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:39,760 Speaker 6: you've traveled with me, Ben, You've seen this. When I 420 00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:42,800 Speaker 6: see a police officer. I'm in Dallas today. When I 421 00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:47,640 Speaker 6: landed it in Dallas love Field, there were several officers there. 422 00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:50,640 Speaker 6: I THINKED shook the hands of every officer there, said 423 00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:52,679 Speaker 6: thank you, thank you for what you're doing, thank you 424 00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:55,040 Speaker 6: for fighting to defend us. And I'll tell you what 425 00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:57,600 Speaker 6: I tell the officers in Chicago and everywhere else, which 426 00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:01,080 Speaker 6: is it's my job to have you or back. And 427 00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:07,320 Speaker 6: why has d C undermined the police so systematically? Because 428 00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:11,879 Speaker 6: the Democrat Party has been taken over by the nut jobs. 429 00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:15,119 Speaker 6: It's been taken over by the abolished the police crazies, 430 00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:19,000 Speaker 6: the defund the police crazies. D C has in place 431 00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:23,320 Speaker 6: no cash bail policies so that people commit violent crimes 432 00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:26,720 Speaker 6: and get released on no cash bail that is madness. 433 00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:29,960 Speaker 6: And one of the things President Trump asked Congress to 434 00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:34,520 Speaker 6: do is abolish d c's no cash bail. I would 435 00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:37,200 Speaker 6: certainly vote to do so. I think that's absolutely the 436 00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:39,360 Speaker 6: right thing to do. I will tell you, I think 437 00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:44,760 Speaker 6: the odds are very high that Senate Democrats will filibuster 438 00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:47,600 Speaker 6: any effort to get rid of no cash bail in 439 00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:53,480 Speaker 6: d C. Because the Democrats today are the party of criminals. 440 00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:56,560 Speaker 6: They are And look when I say that, Ben, that 441 00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:59,560 Speaker 6: sounds hyperbolic, that sounds oh, come on, how can they 442 00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:02,480 Speaker 6: really be the party of criminals? Well, they're the ones 443 00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:05,040 Speaker 6: that tell you they are. They're the ones that their 444 00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:11,120 Speaker 6: dismay is how dare the president be committed to arresting 445 00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:14,359 Speaker 6: murderers and rapists and gang members? And I want to 446 00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:18,120 Speaker 6: be clear about something. DC is qualitatively different. So there's 447 00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:23,160 Speaker 6: a statute, long standing statute called posse commatatus. Posse comitatus 448 00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:27,400 Speaker 6: bars the use of the US military for civilian law enforcement, 449 00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:31,280 Speaker 6: except when authorized by the Constitution or another provision of 450 00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:36,920 Speaker 6: federal law. And so if the President were to do 451 00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:41,720 Speaker 6: this in New York City or Chicago, there would certainly 452 00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:45,640 Speaker 6: be a challenge under possecommatatus that using the military for 453 00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:51,000 Speaker 6: law enforcement violates that. Importantly, However, the Department of Justice, 454 00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:54,320 Speaker 6: in nineteen eighty nine, the Office of Legal Council issued 455 00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:58,879 Speaker 6: an opinion that found that President George Herbert Walker Bush 456 00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:02,080 Speaker 6: could use the DC car Guard to carry out law 457 00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:05,840 Speaker 6: enforcement missions in d C as part of the so 458 00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:08,760 Speaker 6: called war on drugs. And so you've got a Department 459 00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:13,560 Speaker 6: of Justice opinion long standing from decades ago that says 460 00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:16,639 Speaker 6: DC is different because it's it's not a state, it 461 00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:20,920 Speaker 6: is a federal encclave. The federal government has blanket authority 462 00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:24,400 Speaker 6: over DC. And so this is an instance where where 463 00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:27,520 Speaker 6: the president is acting pursuant to his authority and and 464 00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:31,120 Speaker 6: and I expect that his actions are going to prove 465 00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:33,560 Speaker 6: highly effective, which I got to tell you, Ben, I 466 00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:35,680 Speaker 6: think that scares Democrats even more well. 467 00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:37,920 Speaker 1: And that brings me the second part of this, which 468 00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:41,399 Speaker 1: is you look at how big of a success this 469 00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:45,000 Speaker 1: could be pretty quickly, and if it is a success, 470 00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:50,320 Speaker 1: it's just going to expose so many other sanctuary city leaders. 471 00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:54,720 Speaker 1: The Gavin Newsom's, the LA mayor, the Baltimore mayor, Chicago mayor, 472 00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:57,440 Speaker 1: the Memphis mayor, the Detroit mayor the New Orleans mayor, 473 00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:01,000 Speaker 1: all of these top crime cities for exactly what they've done. 474 00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:03,840 Speaker 1: It's the policies. You look at just DC and how 475 00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:07,720 Speaker 1: soft they've been on crime with juveniles, and juvenile crime 476 00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:13,240 Speaker 1: exploded in d C during COVID and after COVID because 477 00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:17,000 Speaker 1: they refused to hold juvenile's account for their actions. We've 478 00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:19,200 Speaker 1: seen this happen a lot of other places around the country. 479 00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:22,040 Speaker 1: So if this turns into a major success for the 480 00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:26,280 Speaker 1: president and people feel safe in d C, how big 481 00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:29,159 Speaker 1: of a political victory for law and order. I'm not 482 00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:31,320 Speaker 1: talking about Republican or everyone. I'm talking about for law 483 00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:34,800 Speaker 1: and order. Could this be and precedent moving forward the 484 00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:37,199 Speaker 1: break and say hey, I'm willing to help you. You 485 00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:39,440 Speaker 1: just got to ask for the help because we can 486 00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:41,280 Speaker 1: do what we just did in Washington, d C. 487 00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:45,359 Speaker 6: Yeah, Look, that's exactly right. And I think the obvious 488 00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:49,840 Speaker 6: analog is border security. We spent four years under Joe 489 00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:53,480 Speaker 6: Biden the Democrats, with the Democrats saying they were helpless 490 00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:55,800 Speaker 6: to secure the border. It was impossible to do. I 491 00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:57,879 Speaker 6: was there a year ago at the State of the 492 00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:01,919 Speaker 6: Union address when Joe Biden said he needed new legislation. 493 00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:04,480 Speaker 6: The only way to secure the borders if Congress passed 494 00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:07,240 Speaker 6: new legislation. Now, I was there this year when Trump 495 00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:09,840 Speaker 6: gave a State of the Union address, and it was 496 00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:13,000 Speaker 6: after border crossings with Trump being sworn into office had 497 00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:17,560 Speaker 6: dropped more than ninety nine percent. And Trump my favorite 498 00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:19,840 Speaker 6: line from his whole State of the Union address is 499 00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:22,679 Speaker 6: he said, it turns out we didn't need new legislation, 500 00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:26,040 Speaker 6: we just needed a new president. Well, the same thing 501 00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:30,280 Speaker 6: is true here. Look, President Trump has demonstrated conclusively the 502 00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:33,199 Speaker 6: border could have can be secured, and it could have 503 00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:36,280 Speaker 6: been secured four years ago. Except Joe Biden, the Democrats 504 00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:40,840 Speaker 6: wanted open borders because they saw a political benefit. If 505 00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:43,320 Speaker 6: we see the kind of successes that I know President 506 00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:45,640 Speaker 6: Trump hopes we'll see that, I think we are likely 507 00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:49,400 Speaker 6: to see. It will demonstrate not just every resident of DC, 508 00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:51,680 Speaker 6: but every resident of every other high crime city in 509 00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:56,280 Speaker 6: the country. Wait a second, this can be stopped, My 510 00:28:56,520 --> 00:29:00,600 Speaker 6: family can be protected. And the fact that the rates 511 00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:03,400 Speaker 6: in my city are so high, that the rape and 512 00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:07,080 Speaker 6: child molestations and the carjacking rates are so high, that 513 00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:11,720 Speaker 6: is a choice, a voluntary choice from Democrat politicians who 514 00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:17,280 Speaker 6: put partisan priorities above protecting their citizenry. That at the 515 00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:19,320 Speaker 6: end of the day is I think one of the 516 00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:21,800 Speaker 6: biggest reasons Democrats are freaking out. And I want to 517 00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:24,440 Speaker 6: make another point about this, which is there used to 518 00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:28,120 Speaker 6: be an implicit agreement about DC home rule, which is 519 00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:32,160 Speaker 6: that Republicans wouldn't interfere day to day and the Democrat 520 00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:34,640 Speaker 6: officials in d C wouldn't run the city as a 521 00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:39,000 Speaker 6: social experiment driven by progressive self indulgence like in other 522 00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:43,760 Speaker 6: blue cities, and the DC mayor and City Council broke 523 00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:48,800 Speaker 6: that implicit agreement. D C is fundamentally different from other 524 00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:52,640 Speaker 6: major cities because it's the nation's political capital, and if 525 00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:55,000 Speaker 6: you are serving in the federal government, you have to 526 00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:58,320 Speaker 6: be in DC. If the residents of New York or 527 00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:03,160 Speaker 6: San Francisco want to elect crazy Soros politician uh uh, 528 00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:06,840 Speaker 6: district attorneys if if if they want their officials to 529 00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:12,360 Speaker 6: implement their combination of communism and anarchy and and and 530 00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:17,920 Speaker 6: and woke policy shutting down schools and businesses. You know what, 531 00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:23,000 Speaker 6: if you don't like it, you can leave and and 532 00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:27,320 Speaker 6: and leaving that you can get out of a blue city. 533 00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:31,440 Speaker 6: To the extent voters anywhere in America elect representatives to 534 00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:33,960 Speaker 6: represent them. Look, the people of Texas, thirty one million 535 00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:37,280 Speaker 6: Texans have sent me to represent them in the Senate. 536 00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:40,000 Speaker 6: I have to go to Washington, d C. To do that. 537 00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:43,040 Speaker 6: That's where the Senate is. My staff, many of whom 538 00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:45,440 Speaker 6: are Texans. They have to be in d C to 539 00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:48,719 Speaker 6: do that job. And and and so the lawlessness the 540 00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:52,120 Speaker 6: president is acting, look fine, if you've got San Francisco 541 00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:54,480 Speaker 6: Democrats who want to go from one lawless hell hole 542 00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:58,920 Speaker 6: to another, that's their choice. But the nation's capital, there 543 00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:01,480 Speaker 6: is an obligation to keep it safe. And I think 544 00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:04,160 Speaker 6: the President is doing the exactly the right thing by 545 00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:07,520 Speaker 6: acting boldly. I want to commend him. This is a 546 00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:09,520 Speaker 6: bold step, and I think it's really important. 547 00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:09,720 Speaker 5: One. 548 00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:13,200 Speaker 1: Don't forget share this podcast please with your family and 549 00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:16,600 Speaker 1: your friends wherever they are, and I will see you 550 00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:18,080 Speaker 1: back here tomorrow
