Trump takes over DC police. Is this right? · Gil I Am

0:00
Speaker 1: All right, what's up, everybody. This is Gil and I'm
0:02
Speaker 1: gonna start putting things out again. So I found the
0:05
Speaker 1: video Donald Trump talking about the national takeover of the
0:10
Speaker 1: city police in DC. I don't know what his priorities
0:17
Speaker 1: are or what the purpose of that is. DC has
0:21
Speaker 1: been a shithold for years, but all of a sudden
0:23
Speaker 1: he's worried about it.
0:25
Speaker 2: I don't understand.
0:27
Speaker 1: I do know that the leadership the mayor in DC
0:32
Speaker 1: is a piece of shit. I know that the police
0:35
Speaker 1: department lead head is a piece of shit, the police chief.
0:39
Speaker 1: I do know that they do not take crime seriously
0:43
Speaker 1: in those cities.
0:44
Speaker 2: So we're gonna listen to what he has to say
0:46
Speaker 2: and then we'll go from there.
0:48
Speaker 3: Then here you see President Trump walking up to the podium.
0:50
Speaker 4: Let's listen.
0:53
Speaker 5: I've been up here a lot. I've never seen a
0:55
Speaker 5: crowd like this.
0:56
Speaker 6: I think we need a ballroom, and that's happening.
1:00
Speaker 5: It's going to be a beautiful ballroom.
1:01
Speaker 6: This is really a lot of people most have ever
1:04
Speaker 6: seen in this room, and we're here for a very
1:08
Speaker 6: serious purpose, very serious purpose. Something's out of control, but
1:12
Speaker 6: we're gonna put it in control very quickly, like we
1:15
Speaker 6: did on the southern border.
1:17
Speaker 5: I'm announcing a historic action to.
1:20
Speaker 6: Rescue our nation's capital from crime, bloodshed, bedlam, and squalor
1:26
Speaker 6: and worse.
1:28
Speaker 1: This is okay, Before we go any further, I'm trying
1:31
Speaker 1: to picture myself.
1:32
Speaker 2: As the president.
1:32
Speaker 1: What would I do in order to stop the crime.
1:37
Speaker 1: Let's start with the crime first. Let's not start with this.
1:39
Speaker 1: Let's not say anything about the squalor, about the homelessness.
1:41
Speaker 1: Let's start with crime first. How on earth do you
1:45
Speaker 1: stop crime? So you take over the city police, do
1:51
Speaker 1: you put?
1:52
Speaker 2: Now?
1:52
Speaker 1: What I would do is, I would put out posts
1:54
Speaker 1: in each in those communities that are hard is hit
1:57
Speaker 1: by crime. I would put mobile units out in those
2:03
Speaker 1: areas to deter crime. I'd also put semi permanent structures
2:07
Speaker 1: in those areas that would deter crime. And so there
2:13
Speaker 1: is a faster response and immediate response to crime and
2:16
Speaker 1: what's happening in those communities. Now you have all these
2:18
Speaker 1: DC leaders who are fighting against this, even though they
2:22
Speaker 1: don't want to acknowledge the fact that there's hundreds of
2:25
Speaker 1: people killed a year in the Washington, DC area. I
2:30
Speaker 1: think it was four hundred some odd murders in the
2:32
Speaker 1: last year.
2:34
Speaker 2: Their talking point is that.
2:36
Speaker 1: The murders have gone down, but it's still the highest
2:39
Speaker 1: in the industrialized world. So I just don't know if
2:46
Speaker 1: this is the right thing that the President's doing. I
2:49
Speaker 1: don't know if it's the wrong thing. I think that
2:51
Speaker 1: something has to be done. But why now, That's the
2:54
Speaker 1: question for me, is why now?
2:56
Speaker 6: Liberation Day in DC and we're kind of take our
3:00
Speaker 6: capital back. We're taking it back under the authorities vested
3:05
Speaker 6: in me as the President of the United States. I'm
3:07
Speaker 6: officially invoking Section seventy forty of the District of Columbia
3:11
Speaker 6: Home Rule Act, you know what that is, and placing
3:15
Speaker 6: the DC Metropolitan Police Department under direct federal control. And
3:20
Speaker 6: you'll be meeting the people that will be directly involved
3:24
Speaker 6: with that. Very good people, but they're tough and they
3:31
Speaker 6: know what's happening, and they've done it before. In addition,
3:35
Speaker 6: I'm deploying the National Guard to help re establish law
3:39
Speaker 6: order of public safety in Washington, d C. And they're
3:43
Speaker 6: going to be allowed to do their job properly. And
3:46
Speaker 6: you people are victims.
3:47
Speaker 5: Of it too.
3:47
Speaker 6: You know your reporters, and I understand a lot of
3:49
Speaker 6: you tend to be on the liberal side, but you
3:52
Speaker 6: don't want to get you don't want to get mugged
3:55
Speaker 6: and raped and shot and killed.
3:58
Speaker 1: So recently, there've been two congressional aids that have been
4:03
Speaker 1: murdered in Washington, DC. One was shot by a stray bullet,
4:07
Speaker 1: the other one was stabbed in acts of criminal intent.
4:14
Speaker 1: There was the one straight bullet that was meant for
4:17
Speaker 1: someone else, but I think he got shot twice. And
4:19
Speaker 1: then a guy who got stabbed, he was a victim,
4:22
Speaker 1: but he wasn't attacked because he was in Congress. He
4:24
Speaker 1: was attacked because they were trying to steal stuff from him.
4:27
Speaker 1: So he's right in the sense that the reporters need
4:31
Speaker 1: to be concerned, but they're not. They feel that this
4:35
Speaker 1: is a guesstopo tactic, that Trump is just overreaching.
4:40
Speaker 2: And I'm on the fence here.
4:42
Speaker 1: I do believe that some of these cities, the crime
4:45
Speaker 1: in these cities has become rampant to the point where
4:48
Speaker 1: someone has to step in. But isn't the president's responsibility,
4:53
Speaker 1: And I would say DC is probably more his responsibility
4:57
Speaker 1: than any other city in America.
5:01
Speaker 2: I just don't know.
5:02
Speaker 1: I mean, this is something that just affects me tremendously
5:05
Speaker 1: because I believe in Donald Trump.
5:07
Speaker 2: But there's something just not right about this. It just
5:10
Speaker 2: doesn't sit right with me.
5:13
Speaker 1: I wish maybe he could have found a way to
5:15
Speaker 1: motivate the local police department and the mayor to do
5:18
Speaker 1: it more on their level. But desperation is another thing
5:23
Speaker 1: that you just can't take into account at this point.
5:25
Speaker 6: You all know people and friends of yours that happened,
5:28
Speaker 6: and so you can be any anything you want, but
5:32
Speaker 6: you want to have safety in the streets. You want
5:33
Speaker 6: to be able to leave your apartment or your house
5:36
Speaker 6: where you live and feel safe and go into a
5:39
Speaker 6: store to buy a newspaper.
5:40
Speaker 5: Or buy something, and you don't have that now.
5:44
Speaker 6: The murder rate in Washington today is higher than that
5:47
Speaker 6: of Bogata.
5:48
Speaker 5: Columbia, Mexico City.
5:51
Speaker 6: Some of the places that you hear about as being
5:55
Speaker 6: the worst place.
5:56
Speaker 1: Is okay, So that statistic or that chart that you
6:04
Speaker 1: see on the on earth much higher is all that
6:07
Speaker 1: violent crime is much higher down.
6:09
Speaker 6: The number of karthevs has doubled over the past it's
6:12
Speaker 6: going down five years, and the number of car jackings
6:15
Speaker 6: has more than tripled murders, and twenty twenty three reached
6:20
Speaker 6: the highest rate probably ever. They say twenty five years,
6:23
Speaker 6: but they don't know what that means because it just
6:25
Speaker 6: goes back twenty five years.
6:27
Speaker 5: Can't be worse.
6:28
Speaker 6: Our capital city has been overtaken by violent gangs and
6:31
Speaker 6: bloodthirsty criminals, roving mobs of wild youth, drugged out maniacs,
6:36
Speaker 6: and homeless people.
6:38
Speaker 5: And we're not going to let it happen anymore.
6:40
Speaker 6: We're not going to take it. Just like we did
6:45
Speaker 6: on our southern border. Nobody comes to our southern border,
6:47
Speaker 6: and with three months in a.
6:48
Speaker 2: Row, we had zero.
6:50
Speaker 1: So that's another thing about the southern border. The southern
6:52
Speaker 1: border has practically been shut down. And that's all through
6:55
Speaker 1: legislation and intent. Okay, the intent is that you come
6:59
Speaker 1: across the southern border, gonna arrest you and deport you.
7:01
Speaker 1: So you saw this massive influx of illegal aliens because
7:06
Speaker 1: the intent to prosecute and deport was not there under
7:10
Speaker 1: the Biden administration. So now, just a simple policy, you
7:14
Speaker 1: don't have to build a wall. He's proven that you
7:16
Speaker 1: don't have to build a wall. He's proven that the
7:18
Speaker 1: wall is just more of a symbolic thing. The wall
7:24
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. The intent behind illegal immigration and the detention
7:31
Speaker 1: and export of illegal aliens. The intent behind what you're
7:36
Speaker 1: doing is the most important thing, because now it's practically
7:40
Speaker 1: down to nothing.
7:41
Speaker 2: It's incredible.
7:42
Speaker 1: So I think that with the policy on the elite,
7:45
Speaker 1: the on the border, in the southern border, if you
7:48
Speaker 1: could have the intention and people believe that the intent
7:52
Speaker 1: is to arrest and prosecute, I think that we would
7:55
Speaker 1: have a difference in crime statistics almost immediately. But we'll
8:00
Speaker 1: know in thirty days, because he has exactly thirty days
8:03
Speaker 1: before Congress has to step in, so we'll see what happened.
8:05
Speaker 7: Bro.
8:06
Speaker 6: I don't know if that's right, but the people that
8:08
Speaker 6: do the work, it's a very liberal group of people actually,
8:12
Speaker 6: and they actually said zero for the last three months,
8:14
Speaker 6: nobody thought a thing like that was possible. And you
8:19
Speaker 6: know when you say, take a look at numbers. I
8:21
Speaker 6: just saw some charts. These are different cities throughout the world.
8:27
Speaker 5: Red is.
8:29
Speaker 6: Okay, the red is place. Go in Washington, DC. Look
8:33
Speaker 6: at these.
8:35
Speaker 5: Baghdad is.
8:38
Speaker 6: We doubled up on Baghdad, Panama City, Brasilia, San Jose,
8:46
Speaker 6: Costa Rica, Bogata, Columbia, heavy drugs, Mexico City, I mentioned Lima, Peru.
8:55
Speaker 5: All double and triple.
8:58
Speaker 6: What they are said, do you want to live them
9:00
Speaker 6: places like that? I don't think so. I don't think so,
9:03
Speaker 6: and I think the people in this room if you
9:06
Speaker 6: wrote correctly, you'd see Look at the kind of numbers
9:08
Speaker 6: we have. DC forty one per one hundred thousand, number
9:14
Speaker 6: one that we can find anywhere in the world. Other
9:17
Speaker 6: cities are number one, pretty bad, but then other as
9:19
Speaker 6: bad as that.
9:21
Speaker 1: Okay, So you have third world countries where the murder
9:24
Speaker 1: rate per one hundred thousand people is less than Washington DC. Washington, DC,
9:28
Speaker 1: according to this year statistic, is the highest murder rate
9:32
Speaker 1: per one hundred thousand people in the world.
9:35
Speaker 2: And you have liberals.
9:37
Speaker 1: Complaining, you have black people complaining. Black fatigue is real.
9:44
Speaker 1: I'm black, and I'm tired of black people. I'm tired
9:46
Speaker 1: of the black agenda. I'm tired. I'm so tired of
9:50
Speaker 1: hearing this shit. It should be about human beings and
9:53
Speaker 1: about what's human and what's right and what's wrong. What's
9:57
Speaker 1: wrong is these people living like fucking animals and allowing
10:03
Speaker 1: other people to kill, rape, pillage steel. Black culture in
10:08
Speaker 1: America is disgusting. It is downright disgusting, and I'm so tired.
10:16
Speaker 1: I'm so tired of blackness. I'm so tired.
10:21
Speaker 6: That where you want to live the reporters of the
10:24
Speaker 6: world juvenile offenders and crimes against persons, as they say,
10:32
Speaker 6: it's getting worse, not getting better, It's getting worse. And
10:37
Speaker 6: we had a recent indication and there was a story
10:43
Speaker 6: about a man who was that just left. He quit
10:47
Speaker 6: because he was asked to do phony numbers on crime.
10:51
Speaker 6: And we're going to look into that. I think Bam
10:53
Speaker 6: is going to be looking into that, but he was
10:56
Speaker 6: asked by the city. I guess we don't want to
10:59
Speaker 6: show the real numbers. Let me do numbers. So it
11:01
Speaker 6: looks like it's going down, not going down. And under
11:04
Speaker 6: Biden it was a disaster and nobody did anything about it.
11:07
Speaker 5: We're going to do things about it like you wouldn't believe.
11:10
Speaker 5: It's time for dramatic action. We're gonna do the same
11:13
Speaker 5: thing all me.
11:13
Speaker 6: It's going to be a very safe city, very So
11:15
Speaker 6: we're not looking to just take years because a lot of.
11:18
Speaker 5: People die in years.
11:19
Speaker 6: And we've got incredible people in this country, except we
11:23
Speaker 6: have to allow them to do their job, and that
11:29
Speaker 6: we will deliver like nobody's ever delivered before. I actually
11:35
Speaker 6: think it's easy, you know, if you're competent, it's easy.
11:38
Speaker 5: If you're incompetent, it's impossible.
11:40
Speaker 1: That's true. But I'm going to give you an example
11:43
Speaker 1: of what he means. I owned the restaurant for a while,
11:47
Speaker 1: a few years, probably three years, I think it was
11:49
Speaker 1: three years. We owned the restaurant downtown, and I would
11:52
Speaker 1: have these people come, these liberal organizations come, and it
11:57
Speaker 1: would take literally a year year of planning and dictating
12:04
Speaker 1: whose responsibility is what before it even had anything going.
12:08
Speaker 1: And then you take business owners like myself and my
12:10
Speaker 1: wife and we decide tomorrow we're going into the sewage business.
12:14
Speaker 1: Well guess what. In a month, we're in the sewage
12:16
Speaker 1: business like we just don't. There's a difference, right, And
12:20
Speaker 1: there's a difference in politics, There's a difference in the
12:25
Speaker 1: liberal establishment.
12:26
Speaker 2: There's a difference in government running of things.
12:31
Speaker 1: You will find people like Donald Trump or myself are
12:35
Speaker 1: other entrepreneurs where we we're not waiting like we're making
12:40
Speaker 1: a move. The move is going to be made today.
12:43
Speaker 1: I'm ready to go. My wife's even faster than I am.
12:46
Speaker 1: She's ready to go. If we make a decision, we're
12:49
Speaker 1: going get the fuck out the way we're going.
12:51
Speaker 2: But I find that when there's this.
12:55
Speaker 1: On the liberal perspective, it's that they have a study,
12:58
Speaker 1: they have to study it, they have to.
13:01
Speaker 2: Have meeting after meeting after meeting. No, here's the problem.
13:05
Speaker 2: What is the solution. This is the solution.
13:07
Speaker 5: Boom.
13:08
Speaker 2: By next week I would.
13:09
Speaker 1: Have Okay, so the problem is crime in lower income areas.
13:14
Speaker 1: So by the end of the week, I would have
13:17
Speaker 1: mobile trailers with the biggest police department logo on it,
13:22
Speaker 1: sitting in each one of these communities, with three police
13:24
Speaker 1: cars and every three blocks, I would have those as
13:28
Speaker 1: mobile stations every three blocks. I'd do that immediately. I
13:32
Speaker 1: could have that done today is Tuesday. I could have
13:35
Speaker 1: that done by Friday. There's no study.
13:39
Speaker 2: Needs to be done. All the statistics are there. Get
13:41
Speaker 2: it done precompetent.
13:44
Speaker 6: Last week, my administration searched five hundred federal agents into
13:49
Speaker 6: the district, including from the FBI atf DEEA Park Police,
13:56
Speaker 6: to US Marshall Service, the Secret Service, and the Department
14:00
Speaker 6: of Homeland Security.
14:02
Speaker 5: You know a lot of nations.
14:04
Speaker 2: They don't have anything like that.
14:06
Speaker 5: They got some police, and they're rough police.
14:11
Speaker 6: They don't have the eaatf FBI Park Police, US Martial Service,
14:16
Speaker 6: Secret Service, Department of Homeland Security. They got some police,
14:23
Speaker 6: but they're rough police and they do their job.
14:25
Speaker 2: They don't have crime. We're not gonna have crime either.
14:30
Speaker 5: They made dozens of arrests, and that's.
14:33
Speaker 6: What that's what starts to happen again, cashless bail.
14:40
Speaker 5: Watch what we do with that.
14:41
Speaker 6: Today we're formally declaring a public safety emergency.
14:45
Speaker 5: This is an emergency. This is a tragic emergency.
14:49
Speaker 6: And it's embarrassing for me to be up here.
14:51
Speaker 5: You know, I'm going to see Putin. I'm going to
14:53
Speaker 5: Russia on Friday.
14:56
Speaker 6: I don't like being up here talking about how unsafe
14:58
Speaker 6: and how dirty and discuss once beautiful capital was with
15:04
Speaker 6: graffiti all over the walls.
15:06
Speaker 5: It's another part.
15:06
Speaker 6: Of it, by the way, because we're talking about safety,
15:09
Speaker 6: we're also talking about beautification. We're the most beautiful, potentially
15:13
Speaker 6: capital in the world.
15:14
Speaker 5: We always had.
15:16
Speaker 6: But people come from Iowa, they come from Indiana, they
15:19
Speaker 6: come and then they get mugged.
15:21
Speaker 5: Not going to happen.
15:21
Speaker 6: Keep coming because within by the time you get your
15:24
Speaker 6: trip set, it's going to be safe again, and it's
15:27
Speaker 6: going to be cleaned very quickly. We're going to replace
15:29
Speaker 6: the medians that are falling down all over the roads.
15:32
Speaker 5: We're going to replace the potholes.
15:33
Speaker 6: We're going to put a nice new coat of asphalt
15:35
Speaker 6: over the top, knowing we don't have to rip the
15:38
Speaker 6: road out and spend seven years building a new road
15:41
Speaker 6: because they cut everything that because some designers said, well
15:44
Speaker 6: we need a quarter of an inch more turn for
15:47
Speaker 6: safety reasons.
15:49
Speaker 5: We're going to do it right. We're going to get
15:51
Speaker 5: it done quickly.
15:53
Speaker 6: So today we're declaring public safety emergency in the District
15:58
Speaker 6: of Columbia. Attorney General Pam Bondi, who's fantastic, is taking
16:03
Speaker 6: command of the Metropolitan Police Department as of this moment,
16:09
Speaker 6: and I'll be making the appropriate notifications to.
16:11
Speaker 5: Congress and old to the mayor. Our new dea administrator
16:15
Speaker 5: who's one of the top in the country. Look, he
16:18
Speaker 5: better be, Terry, if you're not going to get rid
16:20
Speaker 5: of you.
16:20
Speaker 6: So fast, Terry Cole, Terry, thanks very good. We just
16:25
Speaker 6: just got the most highly recommended person. And you'll be
16:30
Speaker 6: designated as the interim Federal Commissioner of the.
16:35
Speaker 5: Metropolitan Police Department. Okay, and you run them tough. They're good.
16:39
Speaker 6: You have a lot of good people you have people
16:41
Speaker 6: that shouldn't be there, you also have people that shouldn't.
16:43
Speaker 2: Be That's the crazy part about this.
16:45
Speaker 1: There's some police departments, there are people out there that
16:48
Speaker 1: want to do their job, not some police departments. Every
16:51
Speaker 1: police department has police officers that want to do their job.
16:55
Speaker 1: But we've had such an influx of social warrior. Are
17:00
Speaker 1: social justice warriors in all levels of government, education, authority, planning, administration, permitting.
17:11
Speaker 1: These social justice warriors who refuse to do their job,
17:16
Speaker 1: they just have social justice in their DNA, and it's
17:22
Speaker 1: fucking disgusting. I don't give a shit about your social justice.
17:28
Speaker 1: The same things that apply to me should apply to you,
17:31
Speaker 1: regardless of if you're black, white, yellow, green, Asian Korean.
17:35
Speaker 1: I don't give a fat baby's dick what you are,
17:39
Speaker 1: who you think you are.
17:41
Speaker 2: We are all the same.
17:43
Speaker 1: That all this bullshit about racism and recidivism and taking
17:49
Speaker 1: away having cash lists, bail and all this other stuff
17:54
Speaker 1: is bullshit.
17:56
Speaker 2: There has to be a punishment for wrongdoing.
18:00
Speaker 1: If you raise your children the way that they treat criminals,
18:03
Speaker 1: you're asking for trouble. There has to be consequences to
18:08
Speaker 1: bad behavior, and right now in America there is no
18:13
Speaker 1: consequence for bad behavior in Democrat and liberal runs states
18:17
Speaker 1: and cities.
18:18
Speaker 2: Absolutely none.
18:20
Speaker 5: There. They got in there because of woke.
18:23
Speaker 6: But you have a lot of great police and those
18:26
Speaker 6: people are the ones that want to help you out.
18:28
Speaker 7: Pamela, it was more than an hour and he started
18:30
Speaker 7: this news conference and it's been going on and on,
18:33
Speaker 7: answering a bunch of questions.
18:34
Speaker 3: Yeah, and this is significant because what he announced.
18:36
Speaker 4: Today is a federal takeover of DC police and deploying
18:41
Speaker 4: the National Guard.
18:42
Speaker 3: I mean, this is, as far as I know, unprecedented
18:45
Speaker 3: to hear a.
18:46
Speaker 7: National Guard and potentially other US military troops down.
18:49
Speaker 2: The road exactly.
18:51
Speaker 1: So it's unprecedented, but it's legal and it's lawful. Don't
18:55
Speaker 1: forget that it's legal and it's lawful.
18:58
Speaker 3: He made it clear that this could just be the beginning,
19:01
Speaker 3: that it might not just be DC, and I think
19:04
Speaker 3: that that is significant as well. And of course this
19:06
Speaker 3: is an extraordinary move by the President. I want to
19:09
Speaker 3: bring in our Brian Todd here. Brian, we're already getting
19:12
Speaker 3: reaction from DC Council members.
19:13
Speaker 5: We are, Pamela and Wolf.
19:15
Speaker 8: This coming into CNN from Council member Charles Allen of
19:19
Speaker 8: the sixth ward in DC. His post is quote the
19:22
Speaker 8: President taking over local control of MPD and putting the
19:26
Speaker 8: US military onto the streets of DC under the guise
19:28
Speaker 8: of public safety is wrong. It's an extreme, outrageous and
19:32
Speaker 8: dangerous move for our city and the safety of all
19:34
Speaker 8: of our residents. He's the first.
19:37
Speaker 1: How is it dangerous for the safety of the residents? Please,
19:42
Speaker 1: one of y'all watching this, please explain to me how
19:45
Speaker 1: this is dangerous for the citizens of the city. How
19:50
Speaker 1: is it dangerous? This is black fatigue speaking. These people
19:58
Speaker 1: are sick and disgusting.
20:00
Speaker 8: City council member to react to this whole thing. None
20:04
Speaker 8: of them had reacted really last week to this in
20:07
Speaker 8: any real measure. This is the first time a city
20:09
Speaker 8: council member has reacted and come out strongly on this.
20:11
Speaker 8: We're also reaching out to Mayor Muriel Bowser's office in
20:14
Speaker 8: the office of the Metropolitan Washington Police Department for their response.
20:18
Speaker 8: We started to reach out to them while this news
20:20
Speaker 8: conference was going on.
20:21
Speaker 2: No word back from them yet.
20:22
Speaker 8: The mayor has been fairly muted in her comments on this.
20:26
Speaker 8: She did speak out yesterday in an interview, but did
20:28
Speaker 8: not openly criticize the President. For this, it's an extraordinary move.
20:32
Speaker 8: We have to point out, never before in American history
20:35
Speaker 8: has the US president taken over control of the Metropolitan Washington,
20:38
Speaker 8: DC Police department. How is this going to work on
20:41
Speaker 8: the streets? How is it going to work from a
20:43
Speaker 8: command and control standpoint? That is a huge, huge question.
20:47
Speaker 8: And of course his threat to do this in other cities.
20:50
Speaker 8: We'll see how that plays out. I think you've got
20:52
Speaker 8: to see how it really plays out here first, right,
20:54
Speaker 8: And we should.
20:54
Speaker 4: Also note that he talked about moving the homeless population
20:58
Speaker 4: and see thousands of people far away without offering those specifics.
21:02
Speaker 2: He didn't say where they were going.
21:04
Speaker 7: I want to bring in our senior White House reporter,
21:06
Speaker 7: Kevin Liptek. Kevin, you've been monitoring this very very closely.
21:09
Speaker 7: What jumps outed you?
21:11
Speaker 2: Yeah?
21:12
Speaker 9: And I think the president's steps here to federalize the
21:15
Speaker 9: DC police for certainly very significant. What we didn't hear
21:19
Speaker 9: from the President was how long that would last? You know,
21:22
Speaker 9: the statute that he's using the DC Home Rule Act
21:26
Speaker 9: allows for initial federalization for forty eight hours before notifying Congress.
21:30
Speaker 9: He said that he was doing that, So beyond that,
21:32
Speaker 9: we don't know exactly how long it would last. The
21:35
Speaker 9: other thing that stuck out was the President raising open
21:38
Speaker 9: the possibility that he would use active duty troops as
21:41
Speaker 9: part of this effort, saying that they would be ready
21:44
Speaker 9: as needed to join the federal our National Guard to
21:48
Speaker 9: help support law enforcement in the city. And you really
21:51
Speaker 9: did hear the President paint quite a dystopian picture of Washington,
21:55
Speaker 9: d C. Saying that it was overtaken by violent gangs,
21:58
Speaker 9: by bloodthirsty criminals. Using this imagery that doesn't necessarily comport
22:03
Speaker 9: with a lot of people's experience in this city, but
22:05
Speaker 9: also with what the actual number show.
22:07
Speaker 1: You know, you see how they the framing this. This
22:12
Speaker 1: is not the experience that most of us have experience. Well,
22:16
Speaker 1: it's experience enough for the poor people that there needs
22:19
Speaker 1: to be a change. What kind of I don't understand
22:23
Speaker 1: the liberal bs. I just don't get it. It is disgusting,
22:30
Speaker 1: Like disgusting.
22:31
Speaker 9: Statistics do show. Yet violent crime in Washington is falling
22:36
Speaker 9: since reaching a peak in twenty twenty three. The President's
22:40
Speaker 9: age dispute some of those figures.
22:42
Speaker 1: You heard the.
22:42
Speaker 9: President come out saying that some of those statistics might
22:45
Speaker 9: have been cooked. But really, when you look at the numbers.
22:48
Speaker 9: What the president is painting is an image that doesn't
22:51
Speaker 9: necessarily match up, oh with what the figure show, but
22:54
Speaker 9: also with what a lot of people's experience in the
22:57
Speaker 9: city is. And so a significant step by the president
23:00
Speaker 9: certainly today.
23:02
Speaker 7: All right, Kevin, looktak at the White House for us. Kevin,
23:05
Speaker 7: thank you very very much.
23:06
Speaker 9: I have some payments on my credit report that were fault.
23:09
Speaker 1: It was more of a frustration and a disappointment. All right,
23:14
Speaker 1: So that's the end of it. Please let me know
23:16
Speaker 1: what you think. I believe that I'm on the fence.
23:20
Speaker 1: I think that something needs to be done. Is it
23:22
Speaker 1: his responsibility? Is it his job to do it? I
23:25
Speaker 1: really don't know, but something needs to be done in
23:28
Speaker 1: many liberal Democrat run cities. The black population of America
23:35
Speaker 1: is disproportionately suffering, and blacks can't manage themselves. So put
23:41
Speaker 1: more police force in their communities. I don't know if
23:45
Speaker 1: that's the right move. I don't see it as a
23:47
Speaker 1: horrible move, but I steal them on the fence. I
23:50
Speaker 1: just don't know, but something does need to be done.
23:53
Speaker 1: So this is gil Please like, subscribe, share, and comment.
23:56
Speaker 1: Thank you for watching. I'll have something for you again. Tomorrow,
