1
00:00:01,280 --> 00:00:03,640
Speaker 1: You know that Donald Trump has been saying for quite

2
00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:06,440
Speaker 1: some time that he believes that interest rates are far

3
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:09,600
Speaker 1: too high, holding back America's economy and making it harder

4
00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:12,600
Speaker 1: for Americans to own a home and to borrow money

5
00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:16,079
Speaker 1: for small business loans and things like that. Well, there's

6
00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:19,119
Speaker 1: been a war with Jerome Powell, and Jerome Powell actually

7
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:23,040
Speaker 1: opened the door finally to cuts in his August to

8
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:29,240
Speaker 1: twenty second Jackson Hole's speech, saying quote conditions may warrant

9
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:33,520
Speaker 1: easing soon and stressing the Fed will move carefully based

10
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:38,559
Speaker 1: on inflation and the softening labor market. Now, part of

11
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:42,920
Speaker 1: this revolved around the real concern in the labor market.

12
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:46,600
Speaker 1: There are real worries and stress tests. Powell highlighted the

13
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:52,000
Speaker 1: job market as quote red flags, reinforcing why a cautious

14
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 1: cut could now finally be on the table. CBS News

15
00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 1: even reporting on this, saying the inflation risks still matter,

16
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:07,280
Speaker 1: saying he flagged terraf related prices pressuring the related FED

17
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 1: and said that look, we're trying to do what we've

18
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:13,199
Speaker 1: got to do. They won't allow a quote one time

19
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 1: price bump to become persistent inflation, so deep rapid cuts

20
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:22,840
Speaker 1: are quote unlikely as well. Now, the market reaction to

21
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:27,040
Speaker 1: this was interesting. Stocks rallied Friday on the Davis tone,

22
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 1: then cooled at Monday's open as enthusiasm faded for what

23
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 1: he actually said. Now, I want you to actually hear

24
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:38,199
Speaker 1: the reality of the situation. Peter Navarro at the White

25
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 1: House talking on Fox Business Jennal with Maria Bartiromo, and

26
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 1: I want you to hear what he said about all

27
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 1: of this happening in Jackson Hall, and Powell said, Look,

28
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 1: this is what we all knew all along. He's finally

29
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 1: acknowledging what the Trump camp has been saying all along,

30
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 1: that interest rates are too high and holding us back.

31
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 1: Here there is again Peter Navarro at the White House.

32
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 2: In his own words, Peter, it's great to see you

33
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 2: this morning. Welcome, and I know you have an op

34
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 2: ed out on j. Powell which is going.

35
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 3: To be coming out later on in the week.

36
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:13,919
Speaker 2: Give us your assessment of the Chairman's speech and this

37
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:15,920
Speaker 2: new thinking for September's cut.

38
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 4: Marie, very great, thanks for asking. Look, it was twenty

39
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 4: minutes of Powell gobbledegook in thirty seconds of pure Trump beauty.

40
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:29,079
Speaker 4: Powell finally acknowledged what we've been saying in the Trump

41
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 4: camp all along that tariffs don't create inflation. He had

42
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:38,359
Speaker 4: two sentences that said, one, they don't, even if they

43
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:41,919
Speaker 4: might create some inflation, it's only a one shot deal,

44
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:46,240
Speaker 4: so there's no inflationary spiral. And two, in the second sentence,

45
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:49,359
Speaker 4: he said that's not going to stop him from cutting rates.

46
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 4: The markets off, they went, Maria, I'm on record is

47
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:56,359
Speaker 4: saying Dallas hitting fifty thousand. I said that, Maria, by

48
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:59,919
Speaker 4: the way, when we were at the plunge, the drop

49
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 4: when Donald Trump first introduced the tariffs this term, and

50
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 4: the markets rebounded, and it's going to be a rocket

51
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 4: ship because we're going to have price stability and economic

52
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:15,920
Speaker 4: growth from the various aspects of Trump policy. It's a

53
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 4: deregulation of tax cuts, the strategic energy dominics, and guess

54
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 4: what fair trade, which is getting us tariffs. They're going

55
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:25,959
Speaker 4: to pay down our debt, pay down our debt, pay

56
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 4: down our debt, and pay for the big beautiful tax bill.

57
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:30,839
Speaker 5: Now.

58
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 1: Look, the markets obviously liked what he had to say.

59
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 1: I thought it was interesting how Navarro said, Look, this

60
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 1: is thirty forty five minutes of gobblygook with a you know,

61
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 1: thirty seconds of Trump brilliance where he's admitting what Donald

62
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 1: Trump has been saying along you're holding back the economy.

63
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 1: I also want you to hear what Charles Pain, good

64
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 1: friend of mine, had to say at Fox Business Channel

65
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 1: about this as the stock market is responding and soaring

66
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 1: and why why did that happen? Because they understand that

67
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 1: lowering interest rates in September could have a big impact

68
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 1: not only on our debt I'm talking about the federal

69
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 1: government's debt, all right, but also could have a very

70
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 1: big impact on something else. That something else is on

71
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 1: you and your dollars every single month.

72
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:20,280
Speaker 6: Take a listen and everyone, I'm Charles paying this is

73
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 6: making money. So last week was monumental on several fronts, right,

74
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:28,279
Speaker 6: notably the stock market, which you could see the red

75
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:30,480
Speaker 6: all week long. In fact, we had a five day

76
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 6: losing streak and that made Friday really this face it.

77
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 6: There was sort of a do or die session, major interseries.

78
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 6: Of course, the sword swored on that Jackson Hole speech,

79
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,560
Speaker 6: but the composition of the rally change, and I think

80
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:45,920
Speaker 6: that's one of the big newsworthy things. This is for

81
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:48,479
Speaker 6: the week, right. You rarely see this, but the big

82
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 6: red boxes, the big red rectangles, and those are your

83
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 6: tech names, those are your mega cap names. And Summer

84
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:57,359
Speaker 6: down a lot, Polunteered down over ten percent, Microsoft Apple,

85
00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 6: They're all took pretty good hints. Meanwhile, more broad, look

86
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:03,240
Speaker 6: at this, all the other stocks at fort ninety three

87
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:06,040
Speaker 6: stepping up to the plate, and then they're small caps.

88
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:08,599
Speaker 6: A lot of false starts this year, but for the week,

89
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 6: small cap well, there were small cap value small cap

90
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 6: corps or small cap growth actually outperforming huge. One of

91
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:18,599
Speaker 6: the best weeks for small caps in a long time.

92
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 6: The question is will it sustain itself? Can it be sustained?

93
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 5: Of course.

94
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 6: The other big news of the week, going back to

95
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 6: Jackson Hall, is where many thought that Jay Powell will

96
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 6: be confrontational, right, or at least at least, let's be honest,

97
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 6: the media trying to nudge Jay Powell into the corner

98
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 6: of sort of with these non stop stories. He's going

99
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:39,919
Speaker 6: to stick to his guns. He's going to give it

100
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 6: to President Trump. You know, he's not going to be

101
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:45,480
Speaker 6: pushing around. Well, they were disappointed. Many people were disappointed

102
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 6: because Powell, you know, he didn't hold back in certain ways,

103
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 6: though others actually said this whole thing this whole not

104
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 6: a charade, but whatever you want to call it might

105
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 6: actually be the twilight of the central banking elite. I

106
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 6: got to tell you, I came away thinking that Jay Powell,

107
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 6: he's kind of dealing with realities.

108
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 5: Right.

109
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 6: Things aren't written into textbooks that necessarily pertain today. You

110
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 6: have two hundred year old economic theories that don't necessarily

111
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 6: apply completely today. This political rhetoric that aging, there's.

112
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 7: So many things.

113
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 6: So maybe just maybe he cracked the current code.

114
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,480
Speaker 1: Now, look, what Jerome Powell is now having to do

115
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:24,160
Speaker 1: is probably what he knows he should have been doing

116
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:28,920
Speaker 1: long before September. He's not in the political battle against

117
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 1: the president as he was early on. Why because I

118
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:35,840
Speaker 1: think he understands he looks like an idiot. The President also,

119
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:39,360
Speaker 1: I think willing to take this win, this w and

120
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 1: take it and just move on from it because it's

121
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 1: going to help the economy and the American people so much.

122
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 1: When I look at where we are and what the

123
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:51,920
Speaker 1: President has been saying and what the President's been advocating for,

124
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:58,160
Speaker 1: He's wanting Americans to be able to do things for themselves.

125
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:00,920
Speaker 1: He wants them to be able to build or buy

126
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 1: a house. He wants them to be able to pay

127
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:05,359
Speaker 1: for things or borrow money at a low rate. He

128
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:07,839
Speaker 1: wants them to be able to expand their businesses or

129
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 1: their small businesses. I mean, these are just basic things

130
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 1: that the President of the United States of America has

131
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 1: been in favor of. And unfortunately, Democrats have been obsessed

132
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 1: with fighting the president no matter what, every single time

133
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 1: they get a chance. If they can fight the president,

134
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 1: they will fight the president time and time again. And

135
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 1: Democrats or Pale, the list goes on and on. Now

136
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 1: there's some pople say that the president should have just

137
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 1: gotten rid of Powell.

138
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 8: Right.

139
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 1: It's independent, however, and there's a lot of questions about that,

140
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 1: and the Federal Reserve should not be quote political. I

141
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 1: do believe that Powell has been political. Should there be

142
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 1: accountability for that?

143
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 5: Right?

144
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 1: We can debate that on another show another day. What

145
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 1: I do know right now is it looks like that

146
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 1: the Federal Reserve chairman is finally going to do not

147
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 1: what I want. I think you can argue maybe not

148
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 1: what you want. He's going to do what the market needs,

149
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 1: what the market deserves, what the market should have already done,

150
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 1: what he should have already done. I should say, for

151
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 1: the market. And the only reason why he's going to

152
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 1: do it now is because I think he realizes he's

153
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 1: actually holding back the American economy and he's hurting many Americans.

154
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 1: A lot of Americans still live paycheck to paycheck, a

155
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 1: lot are trying to get ahead. A lot of them

156
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 1: have debt, credit card debt, or home debt, whatever it

157
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 1: maybe are. There's people trying to buy their first home,

158
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 1: and you look at where we are, it should be

159
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:44,720
Speaker 1: easier than it is right now to accomplish those things.

160
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:47,320
Speaker 1: I want to talk to you about my friends at

161
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 1: Kirk Elliott Precious Metals.

162
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:53,080
Speaker 5: Two days ago, I got my new order of silver.

163
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:53,320
Speaker 7: Now.

164
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 1: I'm investing in silver right now because the pricing on

165
00:08:56,200 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 1: it is amazing and the upside well, it's real. Actually

166
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:05,439
Speaker 1: have a one hundred ounce silver bar. It is actually

167
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:08,840
Speaker 1: really cool. It's really heavy because it's one hundred ounces.

168
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 1: But I also know that I bought it at the

169
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:15,440
Speaker 1: right price and I wasn't paying massive up charges on quote,

170
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 1: rare or special coins. And then when you go to

171
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:21,839
Speaker 1: sell them, you take away all of your earning potential.

172
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 1: Why do they do it this way at Kurt Elliott

173
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:28,720
Speaker 1: because they have transparent pricing up front. It's very simple.

174
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 1: You pay eight percent when you buy, and here's what

175
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 1: matters to you the most, nothing when you sell. There

176
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 1: are no hidden fees ever with Kurt Elliott Precious Metals.

177
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 1: This is the reason why I recommend them. It's not

178
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 1: just about investing, it's about making sure you get more

179
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:51,080

Speaker 1: now and for generations to come k e PM slash ben.

197
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:05,680
Speaker 1: So Donald Trump has come out and he is seeking

198
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:11,199
Speaker 1: to end cashless bell nationwide. He's starting with Washington, d C.

199
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:16,199
Speaker 1: And his order directs federal law enforcement to hold arrestees

200
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:22,160
Speaker 1: in custody and prosecute them on federal charges when possible

201
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 1: to avoid two things, pre trial release and pre trial

202
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 1: release with cash bail. Now, the President has made it

203
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 1: clear he's not messing around. In fact, Trump is threatening

204
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:39,320
Speaker 1: to withhold or revoke federal funding from states and local

205
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:46,080
Speaker 1: jurisdictions that have substantially eliminated cash bail for offenses deemed

206
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 1: a threat to public safety, violent or sexual crimes, burlery, looting, vandalism,

207
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:57,479
Speaker 1: and the Attorney General is ordered to identify those jurisdictions

208
00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 1: within thirty days. Agencies then determine which funding to quote suspend.

209
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 5: Now, the framework for all this is going to be big.

210
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:11,240
Speaker 1: You also have a lot of people that are frustrated

211
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 1: in and around the President of the United States of America.

212
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 1: Why Well, because he's not backing down from what he promised,

213
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 1: and they can't believe that they can't get him to

214
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 1: just be quiet on this issue of cashless bell. Take

215
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:27,400
Speaker 1: a listen to how MSNBC described this signing.

216
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 9: So first, let's start with the big topic, cashless bail.

217
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:33,840
Speaker 9: Cashlest bail, of course, allows a defendant to be released

218
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:36,440
Speaker 9: from jail while they're awaiting trial that's based on their

219
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 9: commitment to appear in court instead of paying a specific

220
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 9: cash amount. I know some supporters of cashless bail says

221
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:46,560
Speaker 9: it avoids penalizing low income defendants. But game, what is

222
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:49,040
Speaker 9: the President and White House saying about this order? And

223
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 9: they're hopes for what it will do, not just for Washington,

224
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:53,120
Speaker 9: but the rest of the country.

225
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:55,160
Speaker 10: Well, you know, I was in clay the President and

226
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 10: his administration. I've been railing against cashlest bail for quite

227
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:02,400
Speaker 10: some time. It's something that Janine Piro, the US Attorney

228
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:04,360
Speaker 10: here in d C, has been talking about a lot

229
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 10: in the last couple of days. In this executive order

230
00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:09,520
Speaker 10: that President just signed aims to eliminate cash list fail

231
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:15,080
Speaker 10: here in d C by potentially withholding federal funds from

232
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 10: this jurisdiction and also he ordered his Attorney General to

233
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:24,000
Speaker 10: look at different jurisdictions across the country and identify those

234
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 10: that have casualist bail policies and explore ways to withhold

235
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:31,040
Speaker 10: some federal funding. Now, that is something that the administration

236
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 10: has done for a variety of issues, trying to explore

237
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 10: ways to stop federal funding or to the threat of

238
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 10: withholding federal funds in order for those jurisdictions to agree

239
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:46,800
Speaker 10: or to go along with their policy. But that is

240
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 10: just one of the executive orders that he signed this morning.

241
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 1: S and collect Now, cash list bell has been something

242
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 1: that the left is.

243
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:55,720
Speaker 5: Absolutely obsessed with.

244
00:13:55,840 --> 00:14:00,360
Speaker 1: I'll give you a great example this Democratic Representative Kelly

245
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 1: saying this about cashless bell. Now again, Democrats have been

246
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 1: campaigning on it. Black Lives Matter was created around it.

247
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:10,040
Speaker 1: George Soros and the activist das are the ones that

248
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:14,080
Speaker 1: implement it. They wanted cashless bail, They wanted prison reform,

249
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:17,560
Speaker 1: which meant get everybody out of jail. These are the

250
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 1: radical left ideas now destroying cities. Yet you even look

251
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:28,760
Speaker 1: at Chicago and Democratic Representative Kelly again talking about Chicago

252
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:32,520
Speaker 1: saying this about National Guard troops and cashless bail.

253
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:34,680
Speaker 11: I want to ask you, we only have a been

254
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:36,960
Speaker 11: at left, congress Woman about no cash bail, because the

255
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 11: President signed an EO today ending that practice aimed too

256
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 11: At least your state of Illinois was the first in

257
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 11: the nation to pass a cashless bail law. What does

258
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 11: Donald Trump not understand?

259
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:52,440
Speaker 12: He doesn't understand that this gives judges the discretion, a

260
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:55,880
Speaker 12: more discretion to make that decision. You know, they can

261
00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 12: say no if they think it's someone that will you know,

262
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:02,520
Speaker 12: go out of me buy they're not, they're too risky.

263
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 12: But if you know they have nothing in their past

264
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 12: or the judge feels that, you know, they'll be safe

265
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 12: and it's okay to you know, let them out, they

266
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 12: have that discretion.

267
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:15,840
Speaker 13: So but Donald Trump doesn't care. Again, this is part

268
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:18,400
Speaker 13: of his you know, fear, This is part of his

269
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:23,080
Speaker 13: distraction from other things going on in the world, you know,

270
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:25,640
Speaker 13: other things going on in the United States.

271
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 7: Like he said he would lower.

272
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:28,360
Speaker 10: Prices, that hasn't happened.

273
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:30,920
Speaker 13: So these are all distractions.

274
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 1: All distractions, she says, nothing good Donald Trump's done.

275
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:37,920
Speaker 5: Prices, she says, aren't lower, even though they actually are.

276
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:40,800
Speaker 1: Gas prices is a perfect example that the price of

277
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:44,720
Speaker 1: eggs the price of butter, the price of milk. There's

278
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:48,280
Speaker 1: countless items that are lower since Donald Trump got back

279
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:51,800
Speaker 1: into office. But you can hear this representative straight up

280
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 1: lying about it. I also want you to hear from

281
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:56,800
Speaker 1: the Miami mayor about what he had to say about

282
00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:59,760
Speaker 1: cash list bail and what happens when you have it.

283
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:02,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, and when you were at the White House, you

284
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 2: spoke about this.

285
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 5: You went to the White House for.

286
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:08,480
Speaker 2: That summit, and you talked about cashless bail contributing to

287
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:11,400
Speaker 2: the nation's crime spy. Tell us more about that and

288
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 2: why you don't see more cities and states turning over

289
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:20,480
Speaker 2: a page from cash less bail.

290
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 7: Well.

291
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:24,680
Speaker 8: As president of the US Conference of Mayors, it's my

292
00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:28,440
Speaker 8: responsibility to lead and to put forth an agenda based

293
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:31,600
Speaker 8: on policies that have worked in my city and that

294
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:35,760
Speaker 8: can work across America. And this castless bail is another

295
00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 8: example of a failed liberal policy where you create a

296
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:42,360
Speaker 8: revolving door of people who commit crimes and are back

297
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:45,040
Speaker 8: out on the streets immediately. It makes it impossible for

298
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 8: law enforcement to do their job. It puts an incredible

299
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 8: burden on cities and on law abiding residents that have

300
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:54,640
Speaker 8: to deal with people who are habitual criminals, and it

301
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 8: just doesn't work. And so you know, we have to

302
00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 8: get away from politicizing again law enforcement and get to

303
00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:02,480
Speaker 8: think that work policies at work that make our city safer,

304
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 8: because safety is the number one concern whenever you've done

305
00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:08,880
Speaker 8: a pults. I've been around a public service for thirteen years. Okay,

306
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:13,080
Speaker 8: they're like dog years. And I'll tell you, whenever you

307
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:16,159
Speaker 8: do a poll, the number one issue is always crime

308
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:18,280
Speaker 8: and the economy. You know, one and two, and they

309
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:20,400
Speaker 8: and they, and they vascily between one and the other.

310
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:25,120
Speaker 8: So safety is the biggest concern for citizens across the world.

311
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:28,240
Speaker 8: So it just it's something that we cannot afford a politicize.

312
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:31,719
Speaker 8: We've got to do things that keep our citizens safe.

313
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:34,920
Speaker 1: By the way, the Miami Mayor absolutely right, cash list

314
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:39,040
Speaker 1: bail is another example of a failed liberal policy, something

315
00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 1: that's been implemented, and the data shows overwhelming the majority

316
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:45,960
Speaker 1: of Americans are in favor of what Donald Trump's doing,

317
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:49,840
Speaker 1: not allowing those that are committing heinous crimes.

318
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:50,720
Speaker 5: To walk among us.

319
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:55,000
Speaker 1: Welcome back. It is the Ben Ferguson Show. So nice

320
00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:56,960
Speaker 1: to have you with us. I want to take you

321
00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:59,480
Speaker 1: back to oh what a week and a half ago,

322
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:01,800
Speaker 1: when the as the United States of America announced he

323
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:05,359
Speaker 1: was going to federalize law enforcement in Washington, d C,

324
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:09,000
Speaker 1: take charge and fight crime. What did the left in

325
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 1: the media say, Well, I can tell you because I

326
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 1: was on TV that night on CNN, and they said

327
00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 1: the president all this was was him being a narcissist,

328
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:22,280
Speaker 1: a dictator, and this is all about Donald Trump wanting

329
00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:25,960
Speaker 1: to be in charge. And I asked the question, why

330
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:28,520
Speaker 1: is it you guys hate Donald Trump so much to

331
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:32,160
Speaker 1: the point where you won't even advocate from fighting crime

332
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 1: when people are dying in Washington.

333
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:34,560
Speaker 6: D C.

334
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:38,159
Speaker 1: They then said Donald Trump doesn't know how to fight crime,

335
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:40,919
Speaker 1: and that this is all for the cameras.

336
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:42,120
Speaker 5: It's all theatrics.

337
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:45,200
Speaker 1: That he wasn't actually going to fight crime in high

338
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:48,719
Speaker 1: crime areas in Washington, d C. He was just going

339
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:51,560
Speaker 1: to put him around the national mall. Well guess what

340
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:55,000
Speaker 1: that was also a lie? How do we know it?

341
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:57,960
Speaker 1: Take a list in the White House Press Secretary Caroline

342
00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:02,560
Speaker 1: Levitt is she explains exactly what's happened in just over

343
00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:05,400
Speaker 1: a week of data they've now received.

344
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 14: President Trump's efforts to make DC safe again are working.

345
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:12,160
Speaker 14: There have been a total of four hundred and sixty

346
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:15,760
Speaker 14: five arrests since the start of this operation on Thursday,

347
00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:19,159
Speaker 14: August seventh. Last night, there were a total of fifty

348
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:23,040
Speaker 14: two arrests, including the arrest of an illegal alien MS

349
00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:27,280
Speaker 14: thirteen gang member with convictions for DWI and drug possession.

350
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 14: Thanks to President Trump's leadership in the outstanding work of

351
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 14: both federal and local law enforcement, dangerous gang members like

352
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:36,680
Speaker 14: the one picked up last night will not be allowed

353
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:40,120
Speaker 14: on the streets of our nation's capital. Other arrests last

354
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 14: night included assault with a deadly weapon for stabbing, parole

355
00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 14: violation for robbery murder, outstanding warrant for attempted murder, assault

356
00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:52,880
Speaker 14: on federal law enforcement officer, and felony assault. Four more

357
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:57,280
Speaker 14: homeless encampments were also removed during yesterday's reporting period. To date,

358
00:19:57,400 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 14: a total of forty eight homeless encampments have been and Washington,

359
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:05,199
Speaker 14: d c by multi agency teams. MPD patrol units are

360
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:08,639
Speaker 14: actively working with city officials to locate in clear additional

361
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:13,080
Speaker 14: encampments and remove homeless residents off of Washington streets. And

362
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:16,560
Speaker 14: despite fake narratives from the media, again, a significant number

363
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:19,639
Speaker 14: of the arrests have been in high crime areas of DC.

364
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:23,640
Speaker 14: In fact, nearly half of all of the non illegal

365
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:27,920
Speaker 14: alien related arrests have occurred in Wards seven and eight,

366
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:30,879
Speaker 14: the two wards that have the highest number of violent

367
00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:34,400
Speaker 14: crime as well as homicides and assaults with dangerous weapons

368
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:38,440
Speaker 14: last year. So while Democrats continue to caudle violent criminals,

369
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:41,560
Speaker 14: President Trump and this administration are focused on putting them

370
00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:45,520
Speaker 14: behind bars and unapologetically standing up for the safety of

371
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:48,560
Speaker 14: law abiding American citizens. And the White House will continue

372
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:51,000
Speaker 14: to provide all of you with the results of this

373
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 14: operation in the days ahead.

374
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:57,199
Speaker 1: You listen to what she said, they went into the

375
00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:02,959
Speaker 1: most violent neighborhoods to protect the least among us. You also,

376
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:06,840
Speaker 1: and if you listen to Democratic Party, they're obsessed with

377
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:11,280
Speaker 1: black lives matter. If I remember correctly, they even painted

378
00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 1: a street with Black Lives Matter on it, the mayor

379
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:17,119
Speaker 1: of DC making sure it was headed straight to the

380
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:21,400
Speaker 1: White House. And so why wouldn't you advocate for more

381
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:25,960
Speaker 1: law enforcement? Now the liberal media narrative has been well, actually,

382
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:28,240
Speaker 1: things are incredibly safe in DC.

383
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:30,400
Speaker 5: They're so much better than.

384
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:32,959
Speaker 1: They were when they had a quote bad year in

385
00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:37,160
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three. Well, we now know that there may

386
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:40,280
Speaker 1: be massive lives have been told to us in twenty

387
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:43,760
Speaker 1: twenty four and twenty twenty five. What am I talking about?

388
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:48,840
Speaker 1: Insert the DC police union chairman who's now exposing saying

389
00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:52,240
Speaker 1: there's a very good chance, based on what they've seen,

390
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:56,240
Speaker 1: that the numbers were deliberately manipulated to make crime look

391
00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:59,920
Speaker 1: like it was lower than it actually was in DC.

392
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:05,399
Speaker 1: See another Democrat cover up, caring more about faking the

393
00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:09,640
Speaker 1: numbers than fighting crime. Listen to what the DC union

394
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:12,280
Speaker 1: police chairman had to say on Fox News Channel.

395
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:16,960
Speaker 3: Can you confirm for us that there have been police

396
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:20,520
Speaker 3: officers and detectives and members of law enforcement in DC

397
00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:25,360
Speaker 3: who on the scene of crimes have been told don't

398
00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:28,200
Speaker 3: write that one down, or don't add that to the list,

399
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:31,400
Speaker 3: or put that down as a more minor offense.

400
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:33,640
Speaker 7: Absolutely.

401
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:35,880
Speaker 15: That's one of the chief complaints of our members when

402
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:37,480
Speaker 15: we go around and talk to them, is that they

403
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:40,680
Speaker 15: respond to the scenes of these violent crimes, and inevitably

404
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:43,760
Speaker 15: you'll have a captain or a commander or sometimes a

405
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:46,440
Speaker 15: lieutenant show up on the scene and advise them.

406
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 7: To take a report for a lesser offense.

407
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:50,879
Speaker 15: One of the things that we see them do often

408
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:53,639
Speaker 15: is Sometimes they'll be a shooting or a stabbing, and

409
00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:56,159
Speaker 15: if the victim is uncooperative with the police, which is

410
00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:58,760
Speaker 15: not uncommon in some areas of the city, they'll be

411
00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:01,600
Speaker 15: directed to take an injured person to the hospital report,

412
00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:03,080
Speaker 15: which is not even a crime at all, it's an

413
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:06,560
Speaker 15: incident report. Sometimes you'll have a robbery, it'll be reported

414
00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:09,680
Speaker 15: as a theft. Other times you'll have burglaries that are

415
00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:13,760
Speaker 15: reported as unlawful entry or thefts. This is something that's

416
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:17,119
Speaker 15: been unfortunately part and parcel of the police department for

417
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:20,680
Speaker 15: some time, and we're very skeptical that these crime stats

418
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:21,200
Speaker 15: are accurate.

419
00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:26,560
Speaker 3: That's extraordinary. What is the motivation? Why are these commanders

420
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:30,800
Speaker 3: or higher ups arriving on the scene during apprehensions and

421
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:35,840
Speaker 3: telling police officers to indicate something other than what actually

422
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:36,960
Speaker 3: happened at the scene.

423
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:39,159
Speaker 15: Well, the only explanation you give be to keep the

424
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:42,560
Speaker 15: crime stats down because politically that's expedient for the police

425
00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:45,280
Speaker 15: department and elected officials in the district. I mean, let's

426
00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:46,760
Speaker 15: go back to how we got here, which is that

427
00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:50,000
Speaker 15: in twenty twenty, the Dccity Council passed the Comprehensive Policing

428
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:52,520
Speaker 15: and Justice Reform Act, which was a sweeping piece of

429
00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:56,920
Speaker 15: legislation designed to hamstring police officers, to reduce the size,

430
00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:59,520
Speaker 15: scope and responsibilities.

431
00:23:58,680 --> 00:23:59,520
Speaker 7: Of police officers.

432
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:03,400
Speaker 15: Addition, it also prevented us from holding criminals accountable even

433
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:05,840
Speaker 15: when they're convicted of crimes. And so now here we

434
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:08,720
Speaker 15: are five years later, the police department, with an authorized

435
00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:11,120
Speaker 15: strength of four thousand sworn members, we only have three

436
00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:14,399
Speaker 15: thy one and eighty, leaving us with over eight hundred

437
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:18,000
Speaker 15: vacancies for the position a police officer. And in order

438
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:20,040
Speaker 15: to make up for that gap, the police department uses

439
00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:24,040
Speaker 15: two million hours of mandatory overtime to cover the demand

440
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:26,680
Speaker 15: for police officers. And so because of that, crime has

441
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:29,479
Speaker 15: skyrocketed in the district. And one of the things that

442
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:32,080
Speaker 15: we think is going on in the police department, which

443
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:33,200
Speaker 15: who knows.

444
00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:35,360
Speaker 7: How high up that those directives.

445
00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:36,960
Speaker 15: Are coming from, is to make sure that these crime

446
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:39,320
Speaker 15: stats are reported in the most favorable way possible.

447
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:44,600
Speaker 3: I mean, what you're saying obviously substantiates what we heard

448
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:47,080
Speaker 3: from President Trump. He said they were opening an investigation

449
00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:49,680
Speaker 3: and that he didn't believe because what happened. I don't

450
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:52,560
Speaker 3: have to tell you I'm speaking to the audience at large,

451
00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:54,480
Speaker 3: But when President Trump said he wanted to bring a

452
00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:57,840
Speaker 3: national guard. All we heard from many quarters in the

453
00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:01,600
Speaker 3: media and in leadership in Washington, this is ridiculous. Our

454
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:03,600
Speaker 3: numbers are lower than they've been in a long time

455
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:06,479
Speaker 3: in Washington, DC. We don't need national guard presence on

456
00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:12,679
Speaker 3: our streets. I mean, this sounds very, very egregious. This

457
00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:15,760
Speaker 3: is lying to the people at the constituents of Washington,

458
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:18,480
Speaker 3: d C. And lying to the federal government about what

459
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:19,600
Speaker 3: your numbers really are.

460
00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:22,480
Speaker 7: Well, you're right, Martha, it is a crime under DC Code.

461
00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:25,240
Speaker 15: It would be false swearing and it would be false reporting,

462
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:27,640
Speaker 15: and those are statutes in the DC Code that make

463
00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:30,119
Speaker 15: it illegal to do that, to false fy police reports

464
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:32,680
Speaker 15: or to change the data. So if the DOJ is

465
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:34,800
Speaker 15: in fact investigating, I hope they do, and if they

466
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:37,960
Speaker 15: find that somebody was intentionally manipulating the data, they should

467
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:40,280
Speaker 15: be held accountable. It's a crime in the District of Columbia,

468
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:43,879
Speaker 15: and frankly, it's a disservice to the police department, it's

469
00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:45,919
Speaker 15: a disservice to the city, and most of all, it's

470
00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:48,760
Speaker 15: a disservice to the victims whose police reports are not

471
00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:51,920
Speaker 15: being properly handled. And we're not dedicating the proper resources

472
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:54,680
Speaker 15: to the crimes that they've been victims of. So something

473
00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:56,800
Speaker 15: needs to change here, and this is an important issue.

474
00:25:56,960 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 1: So let's just go over the DC crime stats. Now,

475
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:04,159
Speaker 1: DC crime since the announcement of federal control versus the

476
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:09,080
Speaker 1: seven day prior numbers, forty six percent is how much

477
00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:12,240
Speaker 1: they are down when it comes to robberies, six percent

478
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:16,080
Speaker 1: down when it comes to carjacking, eighty three percent down

479
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:21,160
Speaker 1: for car theft, twenty one percent, violent crime, twenty two

480
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:25,480
Speaker 1: percent down, property crime six percent of all crimes.

481
00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:27,320
Speaker 5: This is unbelievable.

482
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:30,760
Speaker 1: And now the Justice Department is investigating whether the DC

483
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:37,200
Speaker 1: police deliberately manipulated crime data. The police chief also saying

484
00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:43,560
Speaker 1: this about DC crime under the Democrats to the Republicans.

485
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:45,920
Speaker 15: The criminal justice system here in the District of Columbia

486
00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:50,520
Speaker 15: is broken. Every aspect of it is broken, whether that's policing, prosecution,

487
00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:55,280
Speaker 15: judges and trials, sentencing and supervision, all of it is broken.

488
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:58,280
Speaker 15: And you can trace every aspect of it back to

489
00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:00,760
Speaker 15: a piece of legislation that was passed by the council.

490
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:03,919
Speaker 15: They have destroyed policing, they have destroyed prosecutions, they have

491
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:06,080
Speaker 15: destroyed the way that the courts are allowed to operate,

492
00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:09,440
Speaker 15: and they've destroyed our ability to sentence criminals to sentences

493
00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:11,879
Speaker 15: that are commensurate with the crimes they've committed. And so

494
00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:14,520
Speaker 15: the only way to fix this holistically is to go

495
00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:16,800
Speaker 15: back and look at all of this legislation that the

496
00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:19,119
Speaker 15: Council passed it back in twenty twenty when there was

497
00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:22,480
Speaker 15: all of this anti police rhetoric and work to undo that.

498
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:26,040
Speaker 15: I know from my experiences the DC Council will never

499
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:26,960
Speaker 15: do that on their own.

500
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:28,120
Speaker 7: And so what we're.

501
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:30,000
Speaker 15: Hoping over the course of the next thirty days is

502
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:32,480
Speaker 15: that whether that's the White House, whether that's these federal

503
00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:35,720
Speaker 15: law enforcement agencies, whether that's Congress, that people get an

504
00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:39,520
Speaker 15: insight into exactly how the system got so broken, because

505
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:41,119
Speaker 15: the only way to fix it is if we can

506
00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:43,679
Speaker 15: get rid of that legislation. And my main concern is

507
00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:45,879
Speaker 15: that thirty days are going to go by, all of

508
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:47,920
Speaker 15: these folks are going to go up about their merry way,

509
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:49,399
Speaker 15: and we're still going to be stuck with all this

510
00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:50,080
Speaker 15: bad law.

511
00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:53,159
Speaker 1: We're only going to be stuck with bad laws. So

512
00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:56,960
Speaker 1: just remember this. Remember what the Democratic Party is doing.

513
00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:00,800
Speaker 1: They're not actually trying to fight crime They just want

514
00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:03,560
Speaker 1: Donald Trump to be a failure, even if it means

515
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:05,080
Speaker 1: Americans dying.

516
00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:06,240
Speaker 5: Don't forget.
