1 00:00:02,240 --> 00:00:06,960 Speaker 1: So the DC mayor has had a major change of 2 00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:11,559 Speaker 1: her rhetoric when it comes to reversing what crime is 3 00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:15,600 Speaker 1: doing in her city. Yes, she's totally reversing course now 4 00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:21,400 Speaker 1: admitting that Donald Trump's federal crime crackdown is in fact working. 5 00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:27,200 Speaker 1: Mayor Bowser cited an eighty seven percent reduction in carjackings 6 00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:32,199 Speaker 1: during the twenty day federal law enforcement deployment. Just take 7 00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:34,880 Speaker 1: a listen to the conversation that was had on Fox 8 00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:37,839 Speaker 1: News Channel about what she said and also the data. 9 00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:45,440 Speaker 2: We greatly appreciate the surge of officers that enhance what 10 00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:50,800 Speaker 2: MPD has been able to do in this city. Well, 11 00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:55,480 Speaker 2: we know it's not working. Is a break and trust 12 00:00:55,720 --> 00:01:01,720 Speaker 2: between police and community, especially with new federal partners in 13 00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:06,880 Speaker 2: our community. We know having massed ice agents in the 14 00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:08,959 Speaker 2: community has not worked. 15 00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:11,800 Speaker 3: Okay, but let's listen to some residents here. 16 00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:16,040 Speaker 4: Navy Yard has kind of been a hot area before 17 00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:19,240 Speaker 4: all the you know, additional security. It was a little 18 00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:21,880 Speaker 4: dicey at times, especially at later times in the hour. 19 00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:26,759 Speaker 4: I would see fights break out whenever I just walking home. 20 00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:28,800 Speaker 4: But now it's a lot more quiet. 21 00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:32,480 Speaker 5: I'm welcome and I think it's a great idea and 22 00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,080 Speaker 5: I have noticed that they have been cleaning some of 23 00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:39,280 Speaker 5: the graffiti off in some of the areas, like on 24 00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:40,840 Speaker 5: the highways and that kind of stuff. 25 00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:43,600 Speaker 3: What about the fallout of all this stuff. 26 00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:45,520 Speaker 6: Well, we just had a poll come I yesterday the 27 00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:47,720 Speaker 6: ap poles here, eighty one percent of people think that 28 00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:51,560 Speaker 6: crime is a problem in major, major problem in urban areas. 29 00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:53,960 Speaker 6: Trump's approval rating on crime was fifty four percent in 30 00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:56,200 Speaker 6: that pole and the Harvard Harris pole was fifty one percent, 31 00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:58,400 Speaker 6: his highest rating of any of the issues that they 32 00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:02,160 Speaker 6: they questioned VS about. So, I think what you saw 33 00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:03,760 Speaker 6: from the mayor, which she said, is a bit surprising. 34 00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:06,520 Speaker 6: I think that's her responding to her constituents. She's hearing 35 00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:10,280 Speaker 6: from people who are saying that, especially in the areas 36 00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:13,000 Speaker 6: where crime is the worst, that they feel safer and 37 00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:15,800 Speaker 6: that's not a bad thing. Democrats have managed to box 38 00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:19,280 Speaker 6: themselves in on another eighty twenty issue and are trying 39 00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:21,760 Speaker 6: to find a way out, and I think the mayor 40 00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,919 Speaker 6: has recognized that, and she's obviously in the middle of it. 41 00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:29,079 Speaker 1: Yet again, here Democrats on the wrong side of the issue. 42 00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:31,280 Speaker 1: This is an issue where the majority of Americans say 43 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:35,000 Speaker 1: that they want to feel safe In fact, for decades, 44 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:39,720 Speaker 1: Democrats have been saying this, and now what is happening. Well, 45 00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,200 Speaker 1: President Donald Trump says, I'm with you. I want to 46 00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:44,600 Speaker 1: drive down crime in some of our most dangerous cities. 47 00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:49,520 Speaker 1: And Democrats are angry. Why they're coming down once again 48 00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:51,960 Speaker 1: on the wrong side of an issue that affects millions 49 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,919 Speaker 1: of Americans. And the question you should ask yourself is this, 50 00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:58,080 Speaker 1: Why would the leaders of high crime cities like Washington, 51 00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:01,960 Speaker 1: DC or Chicago project to the president helping to make 52 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:05,839 Speaker 1: their streets safer. I'll tell you why they're panicked. Their 53 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:10,600 Speaker 1: panic that Donald Trump is succeeding, exposing them as inept, 54 00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:15,040 Speaker 1: as corrupt, as leaders that really just want to control cities, 55 00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:19,639 Speaker 1: even if it means they're filled with crime. For decades, 56 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:24,040 Speaker 1: by the way, Democrats have been struggling to overcome the 57 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:28,000 Speaker 1: accusations on the facts that they were soft on crime. 58 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:31,880 Speaker 1: Go back to nineteen ninety four. Trying to combat that charge, 59 00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:34,560 Speaker 1: President Bill Clinton signed a law the most sweeping anti 60 00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:38,880 Speaker 1: crime bill at the time in history, and funded actually 61 00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:42,040 Speaker 1: the hiring of one hundred thousand new police officers. It 62 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:46,600 Speaker 1: also authorized the construction of new prisons and introduced that 63 00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:51,960 Speaker 1: three strikes law manditing lengthy jail terms for repeat offenders. Now, 64 00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:57,400 Speaker 1: Democrats are furious. They are furious that crime is actually 65 00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:00,480 Speaker 1: going down in DC, and they're also even more angry 66 00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:03,200 Speaker 1: that the President said this about you know the prospect 67 00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:06,720 Speaker 1: of places like Chicago getting some extra help. 68 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:08,160 Speaker 7: And after we do. 69 00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:11,360 Speaker 8: This, we'll go to another location and we'll make it safe. 70 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:13,280 Speaker 8: Al So we're going to make our country very safe. 71 00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:16,640 Speaker 8: We're going to make our cities very very safe. Chicago's 72 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:20,520 Speaker 8: a mess. You have an incompetent mayor grossly incompetent. And 73 00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 8: we'll straighten that one out probably next. That'll be our 74 00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:26,599 Speaker 8: next one after this, and it won't even be tough. 75 00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:31,720 Speaker 8: And the people in Chicago, mister Vice President, are screaming 76 00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:34,440 Speaker 8: for us to come. They're wearing red hats, just like 77 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:39,080 Speaker 8: this one, but they're wearing red hats. African American ladies, 78 00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:43,320 Speaker 8: beautiful ladies, are saying, please, President Trump, come to Chicago. 79 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:44,520 Speaker 1: Please. 80 00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:47,560 Speaker 8: I did great with the black vote, as you know, 81 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:51,400 Speaker 8: and they want something to happen. So I think Chicago 82 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:55,120 Speaker 8: will be our next, and then we'll help with New York, 83 00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:57,479 Speaker 8: and we're going to help with and I think, really, 84 00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:59,480 Speaker 8: I think a lot of and a lot of these 85 00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,680 Speaker 8: people that you see on television, they are, including the 86 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,080 Speaker 8: people in this audience. They'll say bad things about me, 87 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,120 Speaker 8: and then they'll say, thank god he's here, because half 88 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:10,520 Speaker 8: of them got mugged and they don't want to get 89 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 8: mugged again. But you know, they work for a ladder. 90 00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:16,960 Speaker 8: They work for stupid people that are radical left, and 91 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,039 Speaker 8: they're made to do things and say things that they 92 00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:19,880 Speaker 8: don't want to be saying. 93 00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:23,120 Speaker 1: This goes back to the real problem. And if you 94 00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:25,720 Speaker 1: look at the present and what he's saying there, he's 95 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:29,560 Speaker 1: absolutely right. You had Democrats that used to be in 96 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:32,960 Speaker 1: favor of fighting crime and saving black lives. Now they're 97 00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:37,480 Speaker 1: soft on crime. Democrats' literal high water mark for cracking 98 00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:41,280 Speaker 1: down on crime was in nineteen ninety four. The party leaders, 99 00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:45,240 Speaker 1: including former President Joe Biden, are now at a point 100 00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:48,800 Speaker 1: where they apologize for being tough on crime. They literally 101 00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:52,400 Speaker 1: apologize for the nineteen ninety four crime bill it is 102 00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:57,520 Speaker 1: and then post George Floyd in that that error. Democrats 103 00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:01,520 Speaker 1: have adopted policies as open we want to defund the police, 104 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:03,719 Speaker 1: we want to have no bail, we want to have 105 00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:06,799 Speaker 1: prison reform, we want to shut down prisons. And that's 106 00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:10,440 Speaker 1: what made our cities, or especially the cities they run, 107 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:16,000 Speaker 1: liberal cities so dangerous because they favored criminals over their citizens. 108 00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:18,680 Speaker 1: They also did this on the issue of I legal immigration, 109 00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:24,680 Speaker 1: flooding these liberal cities with criminals. President Trump saying, hey, 110 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:27,360 Speaker 1: I'm going to do this. I'm going to save people's lives. 111 00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:30,360 Speaker 1: We're going to reverse course on this. I'm going to 112 00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:33,680 Speaker 1: go wherever I can, and if I can send troops, 113 00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:36,960 Speaker 1: I'm going to do it for one reason, to stop 114 00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:40,520 Speaker 1: the violence and to stop the killing. And what a 115 00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:43,040 Speaker 1: Democrat say, You're a dictator and a tyrant if you 116 00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:45,480 Speaker 1: do it. So now you go back to the mayor 117 00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:49,760 Speaker 1: in DC. Why is the mayor in d C saying 118 00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:52,560 Speaker 1: what she's saying now because the citizens are telling her 119 00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:56,640 Speaker 1: that they're glad this is happening. You look at Chicago's mayor, 120 00:06:56,680 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 1: for example. He is the complete opposite of this. Right, 121 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,400 Speaker 1: He's saying, well, President Trump, if you send the National Guard, 122 00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:04,279 Speaker 1: we're going to stand up to you in the Windy City. 123 00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:08,040 Speaker 1: The most flagrant violation of our constitution the twenty first 124 00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:10,840 Speaker 1: centuries I described on X and then he boasted the 125 00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:14,800 Speaker 1: city of Chicago does not need a military occupation. Those 126 00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:17,760 Speaker 1: are his words. It actually does, by the way, One 127 00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:20,480 Speaker 1: headline from the summer sets it all quote at least 128 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:23,720 Speaker 1: fifty five people shot, eight fatally in the fourth of 129 00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:27,280 Speaker 1: July weekend. So Brandon Johnson's like, no, no, no, no, you don't understand, 130 00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:29,560 Speaker 1: I don't want any help. Well, you clearly need it. 131 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:32,520 Speaker 1: You need to help big time. The mayor in his 132 00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:35,680 Speaker 1: own words, talking about crime. But first I want to 133 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:38,120 Speaker 1: talk to you about my friends over at Patriot Mobile. 134 00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:41,080 Speaker 1: You've got a lot of choices for cell phone service, 135 00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:44,400 Speaker 1: with new ones popping up all the time.

Listen carefully. 174 00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:51,520 Speaker 3: Potentially next for more expanded deportation efforts, potentially military deployments. 175 00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:54,400 Speaker 3: But I'm wondering in light of that, have you seen 176 00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:58,000 Speaker 3: anything to confirm that or what would be the process 177 00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:01,160 Speaker 3: for you all learning if that where to come to pass. 178 00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:03,760 Speaker 9: Thank you for the question. It's not like the federal 179 00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:07,280 Speaker 9: government has given us any heads up, right, there's no 180 00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:10,840 Speaker 9: communication from the federal government or the local police department. 181 00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:15,160 Speaker 9: It's quite problematic. This is why we're relaunching our Know 182 00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:18,200 Speaker 9: Your Rights campaign. There's a great deal of resistance in 183 00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:21,080 Speaker 9: this city around a host of things from the Trump administration, 184 00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:25,680 Speaker 9: the fact that again that he's removing black history right, 185 00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:29,720 Speaker 9: that he's you know, attacking the LGBTQ plus community as 186 00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:31,880 Speaker 9: much as we possibly can, whether it's in the courts, 187 00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:34,680 Speaker 9: whether it's in the streets with policy, we're going to 188 00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:36,520 Speaker 9: continue to defend and center for working people. 189 00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:41,840 Speaker 3: And just to follow up, would you know, in like, 190 00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:45,800 Speaker 3: is there a procedure or anything that the federal government 191 00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:48,440 Speaker 3: needs to notify you before something like that were to happen, 192 00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:51,320 Speaker 3: a National Guard deployment or marines or something like that. 193 00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:55,640 Speaker 9: I think it's important that the president respects the Constitution. 194 00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:59,520 Speaker 9: And if you're asking me if this president is going 195 00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:05,880 Speaker 9: to work with city leaders, it's clear that he's not 196 00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:07,920 Speaker 9: interested in doing that. He's not even interested in working 197 00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:10,360 Speaker 9: with Congress, which this is where these issues should be 198 00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:14,480 Speaker 9: taken up. They have not moved on anything substantive at 199 00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:19,280 Speaker 9: the federal level. There's no effort for comprehensive immigration reform 200 00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:22,920 Speaker 9: that could help repair a broken system. There's no commitment 201 00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:26,960 Speaker 9: to help transform our economy. There's no commitment to invest 202 00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:29,000 Speaker 9: in our public education system. The only thing that we 203 00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:34,720 Speaker 9: received from this president is his ugoing attack against equity, diversity, 204 00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:43,160 Speaker 9: hisgoing attack against working people. Establishing policy that ultimately protects 205 00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:45,520 Speaker 9: the interests of the wealthy in this country is the 206 00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:49,120 Speaker 9: priority that he has carried out. Anything other than that, 207 00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:51,720 Speaker 9: he's been a miserable disappointment and failure. 208 00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:55,480 Speaker 1: Isn't it amazing that the President is actually lowering crime? 209 00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:58,400 Speaker 1: And the Chicago mayor is like, Oh, he's just an 210 00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:01,120 Speaker 1: evil guy that likes the rich people and then goes 211 00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:02,840 Speaker 1: on these ti raids that have nothing to do with 212 00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:07,080 Speaker 1: protecting his citizens. And the President says, I'm not waiting 213 00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:12,120 Speaker 1: around any longer. I am going to protect the citizens 214 00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:18,960 Speaker 1: of the United States of America wherever I can. I've 215 00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:22,400 Speaker 1: got some pretty nice news for you. The CDC is 216 00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:26,880 Speaker 1: finally getting a new acting director as leadership has had 217 00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:29,959 Speaker 1: a major shakeup at the agency. You may remember this 218 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:33,800 Speaker 1: is where Director Fauci got paid more money than anybody 219 00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:36,160 Speaker 1: else to be in charge of the agency, the same 220 00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:38,240 Speaker 1: people that were giving me to China and other countries 221 00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:41,559 Speaker 1: around the world. Well, Jim O'Neill, a top deputy to 222 00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:45,480 Speaker 1: the Health Secretary RFK Junior, we now know we'll serve 223 00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:48,280 Speaker 1: as the acting director of the Centers for Disease Control 224 00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:52,320 Speaker 1: and Prevention that according to an administration official. The official 225 00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:56,360 Speaker 1: also requested Amininity to discuss a personal change that has 226 00:12:56,400 --> 00:13:00,720 Speaker 1: not been quote formally announced. The administration want to O'Neil 227 00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:05,880 Speaker 1: to replace Susan Monarees, whom the White House is trying 228 00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:10,920 Speaker 1: to remove only after a month starting the job. Minariz 229 00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:14,000 Speaker 1: is fighting to keep her job. Her removal has left 230 00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:18,240 Speaker 1: the nation's top public health agency reeling, and three senior 231 00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:22,400 Speaker 1: officials were escorted from its headquarters on Thursday. The turmoil 232 00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:27,280 Speaker 1: triggered bipartisan alarm as Kenny tries to advance anti vaccine 233 00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:31,360 Speaker 1: policies the left says that are contradicted by decades they 234 00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:37,119 Speaker 1: claim of scientific research. Now the turbulence comes weeks before 235 00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:42,160 Speaker 1: a key advisory committee, which Kennedy has reshaped with vaccine skeptics. 236 00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:43,720 Speaker 1: By the way, I love how they say anyone that 237 00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:46,840 Speaker 1: ask a question about a vaccine is a quote vaccine 238 00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:50,440 Speaker 1: skeptic is expected, by the way, to meet to issue 239 00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:55,640 Speaker 1: new recommendations on immunizations, which, of course the big pharma 240 00:13:55,760 --> 00:14:00,760 Speaker 1: companies are dreading. Two Republican centers also have now called 241 00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:03,960 Speaker 1: for a congressional oversight, and even Democrats are saying that 242 00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:07,600 Speaker 1: Kennedy should be fired. He's scheduled to testify on Capitol 243 00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:11,040 Speaker 1: Hill on September the fourth. Our FK Junior has not 244 00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:15,360 Speaker 1: explained the decision to als Susan Manares as the CDC 245 00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:17,839 Speaker 1: director less than a month after she was sworn in, 246 00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:21,560 Speaker 1: but warned that more turnover very well could be coming, 247 00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:24,880 Speaker 1: saying this quote, there's a lot of trouble at the CDC, 248 00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:27,320 Speaker 1: and it's going to require getting rid of some people 249 00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:29,760 Speaker 1: over the long term in order for us to change 250 00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:33,880 Speaker 1: the institutional culture, Kenny said a news conference in Texas. 251 00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:36,920 Speaker 1: The White House has only said that Manares was not 252 00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:40,720 Speaker 1: aligned with President Donald Trump's agenda. There is no word 253 00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:44,560 Speaker 1: on winter replacement, by the way could be named. Minars' 254 00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:49,120 Speaker 1: lawyer said that she refused to quote rubber stamp unscientific, 255 00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:54,440 Speaker 1: reckless directives and or fired dedicated health experts. She's fighting 256 00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:57,560 Speaker 1: her dismissal, saying the decision must come directly from Trump, 257 00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:00,280 Speaker 1: who nominate her in March. 258 00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:00,680 Speaker 5: Well. 259 00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:04,480 Speaker 1: The saga began Wednesday night with the administration's announcement that 260 00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:08,280 Speaker 1: Minarias would no longer lead the CDC. In response, three 261 00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:11,800 Speaker 1: different doctors three different officials resigned from senior roles at 262 00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:15,600 Speaker 1: the agency. The officials returned to the office Thursday to 263 00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:18,360 Speaker 1: collect their belongings and staff. Members of the agency had 264 00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:20,520 Speaker 1: planned to gather in the afternoon to applaud them as 265 00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:23,920 Speaker 1: they left the Atlanta campus, but the removal by security 266 00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:27,720 Speaker 1: personnel earlier in the morning squelts those plans, according to 267 00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:31,120 Speaker 1: current and former employees. Some of those that resigned in 268 00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:34,280 Speaker 1: protest told the Associated Press that Minarrez had tried to 269 00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:38,520 Speaker 1: guard against political medaling and scientific research and health recommendations. 270 00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:41,200 Speaker 1: We were going to see if she was able to 271 00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:44,640 Speaker 1: weather the storm, and when she was not, we were done, 272 00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:47,240 Speaker 1: is what one of the doctors said he resigned. She 273 00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:50,440 Speaker 1: had been the agency's deputy director and chief medical officer. 274 00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:53,000 Speaker 1: Giving up a big job is what the media wants 275 00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:55,760 Speaker 1: you to believe. Another one of the people that resigned 276 00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:58,120 Speaker 1: was also the head of the National Center for Immunization 277 00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:02,480 Speaker 1: and Respiratory Diseases, and they said, it is time for 278 00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:06,360 Speaker 1: us to stand up to what's actually happening. Now you 279 00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:09,720 Speaker 1: go back to all of this, and if removed, all right, 280 00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:13,960 Speaker 1: Manarias will be the shortest serving director since the CDC 281 00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:18,640 Speaker 1: was founded in nineteen forty six, exacerbating a leadership vacuum 282 00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:21,200 Speaker 1: that has persisted since Trump took office is what the 283 00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:25,000 Speaker 1: media is saying about this as well. Trump initially chose 284 00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:28,560 Speaker 1: David Weldon, a former Florida congressman who is a doctor 285 00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:33,640 Speaker 1: in vaccine skeptic, but yanked the nomination in March. Minaire Is, 286 00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:37,160 Speaker 1: a longtime government scientist, was tapped next to lead the 287 00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:41,600 Speaker 1: nine point two billion dollar agency while she was serving 288 00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:45,800 Speaker 1: as its interim director, but questions immediately emerged within Kennedy's 289 00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:49,200 Speaker 1: circle about her loyalty to make America Healthy Again movement, 290 00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:54,080 Speaker 1: especially given her previous support for the COVID nineteen vaccines 291 00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:58,600 Speaker 1: that Kennedy has well publicly criticized. Now, Kennedy rarely mentioned 292 00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:01,200 Speaker 1: manara Is by name and the way he did other 293 00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:04,720 Speaker 1: health agency leaders, and that was when many people thought 294 00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:07,960 Speaker 1: there could be a problem. A flashpoint has been Kenny's 295 00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:11,400 Speaker 1: handling of the CDC's Advisory Vaccine Committee, which he has 296 00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:13,720 Speaker 1: tried to reshape since taking over the Department of Health 297 00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:16,880 Speaker 1: and Human Services. By the way, this isn't controversial. This 298 00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:18,760 Speaker 1: is literally what he said he was going to do. 299 00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:21,880 Speaker 1: I don't know why anyone's shocked by Kennedy doing this. 300 00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:25,040 Speaker 1: So here we are. We have all of this now, 301 00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:28,040 Speaker 1: and people are mad. They're mad that the people that 302 00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:31,760 Speaker 1: are always green lighting things like the COVID nineteen vaccine 303 00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:36,040 Speaker 1: are now actually having to answer questions and they don't 304 00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:39,760 Speaker 1: get a rubber stamp from the Trump administration. As for 305 00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:43,760 Speaker 1: the idea of firing someone right after they get their job, if, 306 00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:46,760 Speaker 1: as the Trump administration said, they're not actually aligning with 307 00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:50,200 Speaker 1: the values that you have for the agency. And remember, 308 00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:52,879 Speaker 1: no one voted for any of these people. They voted 309 00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:55,920 Speaker 1: only for Donald Trump, then it's Trump's job to make 310 00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:59,560 Speaker 1: sure that those people are in a good place, a 311 00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:02,680 Speaker 1: place where they are representing what he ran on. And 312 00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:06,119 Speaker 1: that's what this ultimately boils down to. You have Donald 313 00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:08,639 Speaker 1: Trump that has said I'm listening to the people. You 314 00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:11,200 Speaker 1: have Donald Trump that said the CDC has lost the 315 00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:14,000 Speaker 1: faith of the American people, especially with what we witness 316 00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:17,520 Speaker 1: with COVID. I think we can all agree on that point. 317 00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:20,040 Speaker 1: And so what the President's doing is he's listening to 318 00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:22,679 Speaker 1: the people and then saying I'm going to find people 319 00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:25,080 Speaker 1: that are aligned with it. RFK Junior, by the way, 320 00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:29,040 Speaker 1: was a perfect example of that, an unorthodox individual who 321 00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:33,600 Speaker 1: the President said deserve to have a voice in his administration. Now, 322 00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:36,560 Speaker 1: the question is going to be what happens next. I 323 00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:40,040 Speaker 1: expect the President to not flinch on this one. I 324 00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:43,200 Speaker 1: expect the President of the United States America to stand firm, 325 00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:45,439 Speaker 1: and I expect the president of United State, It's America 326 00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:48,080 Speaker 1: to trust RFK Junior to make sure they get the 327 00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:51,560 Speaker 1: right people aligned with the values that were promised. In fact, 328 00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:54,320 Speaker 1: that's exactly what Caroline Levitt said at the White House 329 00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:57,000 Speaker 1: as she talked about President Trump having every right to 330 00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:59,320 Speaker 1: fire the CDC director on. 331 00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:03,000 Speaker 7: The firing in the CDC director first will replace her, 332 00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:06,760 Speaker 7: and then also overnight the White House said that she 333 00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:10,560 Speaker 7: did not align with the president's agenda. Doctor Manards's attorney 334 00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:14,399 Speaker 7: say that she refused to rubber stamp unscientific breakfast directives 335 00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:17,800 Speaker 7: and fired dedicated health experts, what specifically. 336 00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:17,960 Speaker 9: To shooting moment. 337 00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:20,480 Speaker 10: Look, what I will say about this individual is that 338 00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:24,199 Speaker 10: her lawyer's statement made it abundantly clear themselves that she 339 00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:26,640 Speaker 10: was not aligned with the president's mission to make America 340 00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:30,760 Speaker 10: healthy again. And the Secretary asked her to resign, she 341 00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:32,679 Speaker 10: said she would, and then she said she wouldn't, So 342 00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:35,280 Speaker 10: the President fired her, which he has every right to do. 343 00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:38,840 Speaker 10: It was President Trump who was overwhelmingly re elected on 344 00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:41,399 Speaker 10: November fifth. This woman has never received a vote in 345 00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:43,879 Speaker 10: her life, and the president has the authority to fire 346 00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:46,080 Speaker 10: those who are not aligned with his mission. A new 347 00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:48,439 Speaker 10: replacement will be announced by either the President or the 348 00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:52,080 Speaker 10: Secretary very soon, and the President and Secretary Kennedy are 349 00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:55,639 Speaker 10: committed to restoring trust and transparency and credibility to the 350 00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:58,960 Speaker 10: CDC by ensuring their leadership and their decisions are more 351 00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:03,359 Speaker 10: public facing, more accountable, strengthening our public health system, and 352 00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:07,200 Speaker 10: restoring it to its core mission of protecting Americans from 353 00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:11,680 Speaker 10: communicable diseases, investing in innovation to prevent, detect, and respond 354 00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:14,280 Speaker 10: to future threats. That's the mission of the CDC, and 355 00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:16,719 Speaker 10: we're going to make sure that folks that are in 356 00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:19,639 Speaker 10: positions of leadership there are aligned with that mission. 357 00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:21,840 Speaker 1: So there you have. The White House may get very 358 00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:24,320 Speaker 1: clear that even if they pick someone to be in 359 00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:28,600 Speaker 1: their administration for a job, if they are not pushing 360 00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:30,920 Speaker 1: for the agenda items that the President of the United 361 00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:34,480 Speaker 1: States of America has told them to push for, then 362 00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:38,159 Speaker 1: they will get rid of them. And that's exactly what 363 00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:41,640 Speaker 1: the President should be doing, not wasting any time when 364 00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:45,560 Speaker 1: he sees clearly that someone is going against what he 365 00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:51,000 Speaker 1: believes their job should be. You step back and you 366 00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:53,680 Speaker 1: look at this country right now, and it is very 367 00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:56,200 Speaker 1: clear that every major city in America that is run 368 00:20:56,240 --> 00:21:00,800 Speaker 1: by Democrats is a city that is filled with violent criminals. 369 00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:04,679 Speaker 1: Many of them are filled with violent criminal, illegal aliens. 370 00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:08,520 Speaker 1: Many of them are filled with child rapists, sex offenders, 371 00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:13,160 Speaker 1: and a network of drug cartel members. And by the way, 372 00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:15,280 Speaker 1: I'm going to talk about the drug cartels and going 373 00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:18,040 Speaker 1: after them because they've been designated terrorist organizations in a moment, 374 00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:20,720 Speaker 1: something I'm in favor of. I'm in favor of going 375 00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:22,479 Speaker 1: after them, and there's a very good chance that may 376 00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:24,600 Speaker 1: be what the President's going to do in Mexico very 377 00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:29,639 Speaker 1: very soon. But they're filled with the lawlessness. This is 378 00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:33,000 Speaker 1: the time where we as Republicans and conservatives, I think, 379 00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:36,480 Speaker 1: have an opportunity to make real inroads in inner city 380 00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:40,680 Speaker 1: America where overwhelming they've been voting for Democrats for decades. 381 00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:45,280 Speaker 1: It's seventy eighty percent. This is that moment where you 382 00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:48,080 Speaker 1: can look at Washington, d C. And show them that 383 00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:52,320 Speaker 1: there is an actual chance of safe and secure neighborhoods 384 00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:55,720 Speaker 1: regardless of where you live. If you restore the law 385 00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:58,959 Speaker 1: and order, and then once you get that safety and 386 00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:02,760 Speaker 1: you get that secl scurity, you're then in a much 387 00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:09,919 Speaker 1: better place because at that point you have citizens that 388 00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:12,840 Speaker 1: start to be inspired to go out in their communities, 389 00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:15,080 Speaker 1: to be involved in their communities. By the way, you 390 00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:20,240 Speaker 1: know what, there's two things that are very interesting about crime. 391 00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:23,919 Speaker 1: If you're in a high crime area, did you know 392 00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:25,800 Speaker 1: that it's almost guaranteed that your kids are in a 393 00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:31,280 Speaker 1: failing school. Yeah. If black lives really matter to the 394 00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:34,080 Speaker 1: Democratic Party like they claim, then they would want young 395 00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:38,040 Speaker 1: black lives to not be set up for failure, but 396 00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:40,720 Speaker 1: set up for success in a public school that is 397 00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:42,480 Speaker 1: not a failure. By the way, it's also the reason 398 00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:45,480 Speaker 1: why I'm in favor of school choice. You may not 399 00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:47,040 Speaker 1: know this, but did you know if you're in a 400 00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:49,399 Speaker 1: high crime city, not only are you more likely to 401 00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:52,159 Speaker 1: be in a failing school than a successful school, but 402 00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:57,359 Speaker 1: you're you're also more likely to let me rephrase that, 403 00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:01,560 Speaker 1: you're less likely to go to church. You'll look at 404 00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:04,880 Speaker 1: the most high crime cities in America and look at 405 00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:10,040 Speaker 1: the church attendance numbers. They are in historic declines. Why 406 00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:14,560 Speaker 1: is that? Because you've killed community. It used to be 407 00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:16,919 Speaker 1: you walk to church in your neighborhood with your family, 408 00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:20,719 Speaker 1: your friends, your neighbors. If you live in a violent 409 00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:24,200 Speaker 1: city and a violent neighborhood, the chances of you knowing 410 00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:27,240 Speaker 1: your neighbors, going out with your neighbors, spending time with 411 00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:30,280 Speaker 1: your neighbors, spending time in a community, spend time outside 412 00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:34,000 Speaker 1: of your home with your family is very low. And 413 00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:35,640 Speaker 1: if you want to know why we have so many 414 00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:39,040 Speaker 1: empty churches on Sunday mornings and so many these violent cities. Yes, 415 00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:41,960 Speaker 1: there is a direct correlation between failing schools and lack 416 00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:46,640 Speaker 1: of faith in America. In cities where there is crime 417 00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:50,280 Speaker 1: and the criminals are running the city, there are some 418 00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:53,919 Speaker 1: of the most beautiful churches that's seventy eighty percent empty 419 00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:58,280 Speaker 1: on Sunday mornings in these violent cities because the elderly, 420 00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:02,080 Speaker 1: by the way, who I truly believe the elders, there's 421 00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:04,360 Speaker 1: a reason why we have elders in the church are 422 00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:08,840 Speaker 1: the backbone of our community. They're the backbone of our churches. 423 00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:12,240 Speaker 1: The elder statesmen. And if they're afraid to go to 424 00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:16,000 Speaker 1: church because they're afraid of the crime and they don't 425 00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:18,200 Speaker 1: feel safe in their own neighborhood, they don't feel safe 426 00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:20,480 Speaker 1: to go to church, they don't feel safe to go 427 00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:23,000 Speaker 1: to the grocery stores. What happens They end up becoming depressed. 428 00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:25,240 Speaker 1: They end up sitting in their homes, and they end 429 00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:29,320 Speaker 1: up dying like hermits. Crime isn't just killing people, it's 430 00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:33,320 Speaker 1: killing cities. It's killing hopes, it's killing dreams, it's killing education, 431 00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:38,679 Speaker 1: it's killing faith in America today. And so what the 432 00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:41,920 Speaker 1: President I encourage him to do is to keep doing 433 00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:44,400 Speaker 1: what he's doing Number one, but to go to these 434 00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:48,359 Speaker 1: cities regardless of what the local leaders say, and talk 435 00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:51,679 Speaker 1: to the people directly. In these top twenty most dangerousies. 436 00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:56,960 Speaker 1: Do a tour of America's worst cities, and don't walk 437 00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:59,480 Speaker 1: in and criticize. Walk in and say, life should be 438 00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:03,159 Speaker 1: better than the Life should be safer for you and 439 00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:06,320 Speaker 1: your grandparents and your kids. Our churches and our schools 440 00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:09,040 Speaker 1: should be places that people can't wait to go to. 441 00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:12,639 Speaker 1: Your children should be able to play in your backyard, 442 00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:15,760 Speaker 1: in your front yard and not be behind bars on 443 00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:20,800 Speaker 1: the windows because it's so crime ridden. Your kids should 444 00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:22,440 Speaker 1: be able to sit on the front porch at night 445 00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:26,160 Speaker 1: and not be inside in case there's a drive by shooting. Yes, 446 00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:28,960 Speaker 1: that's a reality in many of the most dangerous cities 447 00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:34,760 Speaker 1: in America. I don't care who you are, you know, 448 00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:38,960 Speaker 1: if you're not safe, can I get an amen on that. 449 00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:42,880 Speaker 1: You know that if you were in an unsafe area, 450 00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:45,679 Speaker 1: you know, if you're in a community that is not safe, 451 00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:48,800 Speaker 1: you know it. I know it, you know it, everybody 452 00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:53,000 Speaker 1: knows it. You how many people are stuck in a 453 00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:55,320 Speaker 1: neighborhood that they wish they didn't live in because they're 454 00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:57,720 Speaker 1: on a fixed income, they're retired, they're in social security, 455 00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:00,359 Speaker 1: they live their life, they did well and unform. Actually 456 00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:04,480 Speaker 1: now they live in a community that they can't afford 457 00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:09,520 Speaker 1: to get out of, and so they're stuck literally in hell. 458 00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:13,320 Speaker 1: This is not hard to fix. Let me give you 459 00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:16,520 Speaker 1: some stats to prove my point. DC violent crime has 460 00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:20,159 Speaker 1: dropped twenty two percent after Trump's crackdown. They've had zero 461 00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:23,119 Speaker 1: homicides in the last week. I'm gonna read you this 462 00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:26,440 Speaker 1: article and every American. By the way, I will repost 463 00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:29,040 Speaker 1: this article on my ex account at Ben Ferguson Show. 464 00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:33,120 Speaker 1: I'll put it up on Instagram, follow me at Ben 465 00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:37,480 Speaker 1: Ferguson Podcast, and I'll put these stats in my podcast 466 00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:40,159 Speaker 1: so you can share it. But here are the stats. 467 00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:43,280 Speaker 1: Violent crime in DC has dropped twenty two percent over 468 00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:47,080 Speaker 1: the last week following Trump's crackdown the city. The article says. 469 00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:50,280 Speaker 1: Fox News Digital detailed the stunning findings, which include the 470 00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:54,160 Speaker 1: fact that as of Wednesday afternoon, there were not one, 471 00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:56,440 Speaker 1: not two, not three, not ten, not fifteen, not twenty. 472 00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:57,159 Speaker 8: But zero. 473 00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:01,720 Speaker 1: Murders in washing in DC over the last seven days. 474 00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:04,840 Speaker 1: That is a feat that has not been seen for months. 475 00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:09,360 Speaker 1: Fox News Digital also said a few other studying statistics 476 00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:13,560 Speaker 1: from the local police union revealing that since Trump's federal takeover, 477 00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:19,800 Speaker 1: carjackings have dropped by eighty three percent, robberies have dropped 478 00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:25,320 Speaker 1: by forty six percent, zero murders in d C during 479 00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:30,160 Speaker 1: the past week. The White House Officials Rapid Response page 480 00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:34,919 Speaker 1: also shared the news detailing the quote dramatic reductions in crime. 481 00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:37,560 Speaker 1: Here's a local report about it. 482 00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:40,960 Speaker 11: When the National Guard hit the ground in Washington last week, 483 00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:45,080 Speaker 11: that city's crime fight went into overdrive. And now we're 484 00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:50,280 Speaker 11: seeing the impact and the dramatic reductions in crime. When 485 00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:53,680 Speaker 11: the National Guard rolled into Washington last week, the locals 486 00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:54,600 Speaker 11: seem skeptical. 487 00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:56,920 Speaker 9: The crime is minimal here, it's not really a lot 488 00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:59,080 Speaker 9: of crime here. Lived at the window dress up to me. 489 00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:01,800 Speaker 11: But with the Guard on the ground, crime is on 490 00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:04,520 Speaker 11: the decline for the first time in a long time. 491 00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:08,000 Speaker 11: DC has gone seven days without a homicide, and that's 492 00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:12,119 Speaker 11: not all. Carjackings are down eighty three percent, robberies are 493 00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:16,280 Speaker 11: down forty six percent, carthif's down twenty one percent, and 494 00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:19,679 Speaker 11: overall violent crime is down twenty two percent. 495 00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:24,800 Speaker 12: When you have these kind of numbers going down, it 496 00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:28,680 Speaker 12: basically says this is a success and that means people 497 00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:29,399 Speaker 12: feel safer. 498 00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:33,439 Speaker 11: Like many big cities, Washington's police department is critically short staff. 499 00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:36,359 Speaker 12: People who don't feel safe aren't free. 500 00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:39,800 Speaker 11: Sergeant Betsy Smith with the National Police Association says it 501 00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:41,200 Speaker 11: is ripe for federal health. 502 00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:45,920 Speaker 12: More police generally equals less crime. 503 00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:51,280 Speaker 1: More police, what an idea, More police generally means less crime. 504 00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:54,840 Speaker 1: This is not hard to figure out. Why would all 505 00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:58,160 Speaker 1: these other cities not want Donald Trump's help. Forget the 506 00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:01,880 Speaker 1: mayor's forget the politics. Why would any city right now 507 00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:04,440 Speaker 1: not be screaming, mister President, please help us. We need 508 00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:07,480 Speaker 1: the National Guard. Send them in. We want our carjackings 509 00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:10,400 Speaker 1: down eighty three percent. We want robberies down forty six percent, 510 00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:12,880 Speaker 1: we want car theft down twenty one percent. We want 511 00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:15,760 Speaker 1: overall violent crime down twenty two percent. That is in 512 00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:19,400 Speaker 1: a seven day period. This is the dramatic reduction crime, 513 00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:22,680 Speaker 1: and these numbers do seem shocking to me. I also 514 00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:26,280 Speaker 1: want to be clear about that, and probably it's because 515 00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:28,840 Speaker 1: we've been living in such an abusive relationship in these 516 00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:31,360 Speaker 1: big seas or so long that it seems impossible to 517 00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:34,600 Speaker 1: stop the violent crime. When you grow up in a 518 00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:37,440 Speaker 1: violent city, one of the most violent seas in America, 519 00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:40,200 Speaker 1: it's a it's an abusive relationship. I grew up in Memphis. 520 00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:42,840 Speaker 1: I say it again. I love my city, I really do. 521 00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:45,120 Speaker 1: But I can tell you this. I wouldn't tell anybody 522 00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:48,360 Speaker 1: to move there right now. In fact, I tell most 523 00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:50,760 Speaker 1: of my friends when we talk about this stuff, get out. 524 00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:54,840 Speaker 1: It's not worth your family's life. It's not worth living 525 00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:58,120 Speaker 1: in fear. When I moved out of Memphis, I moved 526 00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:00,360 Speaker 1: from one of the most dangerous cities in a ma America, 527 00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:04,240 Speaker 1: the murder capital of America, to one of the safest 528 00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:07,880 Speaker 1: cities in all of America. And do you want to 529 00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:11,040 Speaker 1: know what happened. It took me about sixty days to 530 00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:15,720 Speaker 1: figure out just how much my life was consumed with 531 00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:20,720 Speaker 1: thinking about safety. About six months in I actually forgot 532 00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:22,840 Speaker 1: to lock my door one night at my house and 533 00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:26,440 Speaker 1: I laughed the next morning, because there's no way in 534 00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:28,640 Speaker 1: hell I would ever do that in Memphis and sea 535 00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:33,000 Speaker 1: like it would. That accident doesn't happen in Memphis, Tennessee. 536 00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:37,880 Speaker 1: The idea of not locking your door would not be 537 00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:41,240 Speaker 1: an option when you live in a violent city. And 538 00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:42,840 Speaker 1: if you're listening to me right now and you live 539 00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:44,640 Speaker 1: in one of these cities, you know exactly what I'm 540 00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:49,440 Speaker 1: talking about, Like you understand it. You're like, yeah, there's 541 00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:51,920 Speaker 1: no way in hell. When I was a little boy, 542 00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:55,600 Speaker 1: we went to Batano, North Dakota, seat my great grandmother. 543 00:30:57,000 --> 00:30:58,880 Speaker 1: And when you grow up in Memphis, there's a lot 544 00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:01,120 Speaker 1: of rules. My dad was by the way law enforcement, 545 00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:03,320 Speaker 1: so there was like he knew and we knew just 546 00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:06,760 Speaker 1: how dangerous the city was. And I remember going to Botno, 547 00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:09,400 Speaker 1: North Dakota my great grandmother, she was I think in 548 00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:12,320 Speaker 1: her eighties at the time, and we got there and 549 00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:15,160 Speaker 1: there was two things this little child, I'll never forget. 550 00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:18,800 Speaker 1: Number One, they always left the keys and the ignition 551 00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:22,160 Speaker 1: in the car and the driveway. No one was stealing 552 00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:25,880 Speaker 1: cars in Botno, North Dakota. They had a real sense 553 00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:30,360 Speaker 1: of community. Number two, and this is even more important, 554 00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:34,080 Speaker 1: they had a community where everybody walked and everybody went 555 00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:36,920 Speaker 1: to church. When you have a safe city, you have 556 00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:40,280 Speaker 1: a real community. People don't stay in their houses and 557 00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:43,120 Speaker 1: lock their doors. They go outside and they have an 558 00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:46,320 Speaker 1: open door policy to their family, their friends, and their neighbors. 559 00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:48,960 Speaker 1: And the most amazing thing that ever happened when I 560 00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:50,920 Speaker 1: was a little kid. It was one of those moments that, 561 00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:54,720 Speaker 1: like they say, is a core memory. Was when I 562 00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:58,120 Speaker 1: was there, My gr great grandmother looked at me and 563 00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:00,040 Speaker 1: I was a little kid, My sister was little, and 564 00:31:59,880 --> 00:32:01,760 Speaker 1: she handed us money and she said, you guys, walk 565 00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:04,400 Speaker 1: down the store and go get yourself some candy. And 566 00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:08,160 Speaker 1: my parents said, yeah, yeah, y'all go down there. We 567 00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:13,040 Speaker 1: looked at my mom and my dad like they were insane. 568 00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:16,800 Speaker 1: You wouldn't I When I lived in Memphis, you had to. 569 00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:19,560 Speaker 1: My mom would walk out into the street to watch 570 00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:23,280 Speaker 1: me walk down to our neighbor's house to make sure 571 00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:25,600 Speaker 1: I made it safely. And I wasn't allowed to walk 572 00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:28,600 Speaker 1: home until I called, so they could walk outside and 573 00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:32,280 Speaker 1: watch me walk back down the street. And those same 574 00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:34,160 Speaker 1: parents are telling me and bot, no, North Dakota, you 575 00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:36,600 Speaker 1: can go the grocery store and go shopping by yourself. 576 00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:38,960 Speaker 1: I was like, what, I didn't even know what drugs were. 577 00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:40,840 Speaker 1: I was so young, but I knew something wasn't right. 578 00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:43,560 Speaker 1: Wouldn't it be nice if we got back to that 579 00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:46,320 Speaker 1: way of life? And the President of United States of 580 00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:49,480 Speaker 1: America is telling every one of these cities you can 581 00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:51,920 Speaker 1: do this. We are ready to do it with you, 582 00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:56,440 Speaker 1: we are ready to help you. And the only thing 583 00:32:56,560 --> 00:33:00,240 Speaker 1: that's holding these cities back is the arrogance of the 584 00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:04,000 Speaker 1: Democratic Marxists and socialists and communists that are running these cities. 585 00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:08,000 Speaker 1: They would rather their constituents live in fear. They would 586 00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:11,280 Speaker 1: rather than ode on fetnyl. They would rather than be raped, 587 00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:14,360 Speaker 1: they would rather than be shot. They'd rather them be 588 00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:20,360 Speaker 1: murdered than to actually work with Donald Trump, because Orange 589 00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:23,920 Speaker 1: Man apparently is so bad that they just can't work 590 00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:27,680 Speaker 1: with him.
