1
00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:04,400
Speaker 1: According to CNN, the National Guard is on the streets

2
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:08,360
Speaker 1: of Washington, d C. Now. President Trump is justifying his

3
00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:12,480
Speaker 1: temporary federal takeover of policing in Washington, d C. And said,

4
00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:16,200
Speaker 1: in part the crime situation in Washington, DC quote is

5
00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:21,240
Speaker 1: getting worse, not getting better. DC Mayor Muriel Bowser said,

6
00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:24,159
Speaker 1: in part quote, I'm also really ticked off about the

7
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:29,000
Speaker 1: intrusion on the district's autonomy and the characterization of a

8
00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:31,080
Speaker 1: good work that we do in this city to make

9
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:34,479
Speaker 1: it beautiful and to have excellent services, to attract millions

10
00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:37,120
Speaker 1: of tourists, to have a growing school system, to have

11
00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:40,360
Speaker 1: a growing city with new residents showing up every day.

12
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:45,280
Speaker 1: So that's the real Washington. And guess this, guys. Overall

13
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:48,720
Speaker 1: violent crime numbers have fallen in Washington, d C. After

14
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 1: twenty three spike. Violent crime declined in twenty twenty four

15
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 1: and has declined again so far in twenty twenty five.

16
00:00:57,240 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 1: So what is the president really trying to do here?

17
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:04,840
Speaker 2: Well, the President, let's let's stop this right here. This

18
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 2: administration is not tough on crime. Let's stop that right now.

19
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 2: That's not what they're tough on. If they were tough

20
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 2: on crime, they would not have pardoned all of those

21
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 2: January sixth rioters who beat and were in the presidence

22
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:26,400
Speaker 2: of officers who lost their lives and was breaking and

23
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 2: entering in the capitol. So if they were tough on crime,

24
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:32,040
Speaker 2: they wouldn't have did it. He's pardoned more people than

25
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:35,680
Speaker 2: any other president, criminals than any other president, so they're

26
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 2: not He's not tough on crime. He's tough on his enemies. Well,

27
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 2: anybody that goes up against him, black, female mayor white governor. Man,

28
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 2: it don't matter if you were his enemy. He told

29
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:54,640
Speaker 2: you in the beginning he's gonna come after you for

30
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 2: one month. He's extended that to his entire presidency because

31
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 2: he's just that petty. So that's what he's tough on.

32
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 2: I was listening to some residents of Washington, d C.

33
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 2: On CNN last night who were glad to see a

34
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 2: couple of old black residents who were glad to see

35
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 2: because she felt like she couldn't even go outside no more,

36
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 2: and now she felt comfortable seeing more of a police

37
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 2: presidence there. I understand also what the mayor is saying,

38
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:27,640
Speaker 2: but there is a medium in here that could be reached,

39
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:31,680
Speaker 2: especially in high crime cities. If you look at the

40
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:37,360
Speaker 2: top four high crime cities Cleveland, Memphis, Detroit, and I

41
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 2: think the other one was DC, Chicago and well in

42
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 2: the top but on the top four, I know Cleveland

43
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:51,080
Speaker 2: made top four. I was just sitting there going, damn. Yeah.

44
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:53,240
Speaker 1: Do you think this is part of a distraction too

45
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 1: for him?

46
00:02:54,720 --> 00:03:02,079
Speaker 2: Of course, everything the economy bobs and the Epstein five

47
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:03,399
Speaker 2: Jeffrey Epstein.

48
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, wow, all right, every day right, yeah, he's not boring.

49
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 1: You're listening the Harvey Morning Show.
