• 0:28
  Speaker 2: tip for you, he says. Lightweight. ABC reporter Jonathan Carl

  Speaker 2: was seen sticking his hand into the pool and trying
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: to rip the rubber off this surface. Judge is Jonathan
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: Carl from ABC in trouble.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: Well, you know it depends, you know, anyone who was
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: in a position of vandalizing or attempting to vandalize the
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: reflecting pool will face the criminal justice system in DC. Look,
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: the President has made it a priority to make DC
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: not only safe but beautiful, and there are several citations
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: that have been handed out to individuals and these are
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: cases that will be prosecuted to the full extent. If
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: there are more serious products that are put into the
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: reflecting pool to create more algae or a bigger problem,
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: then we'll consider more serious charges. But make no mistake,
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: making DC beautiful is a priority. And if you damage, vandalize,
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: or do anything to impact something like the reflected pool,
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: you can be prosecuted.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: And how big a problem is vandalism on the National
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: Mall Because there's all these stories of the reflecting pool,
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: of course, but then you got somebody spelling out eighty
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: six forty seven on the grass. Where does this rank
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: in the list of big problems for you this time?
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: Well, look, there's a lot of big problems.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: One thing, Peter, you can't say, you know this crime
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: is so you know, it's such a low level crime.
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: It's a misdemeanor. You know, we can't be worried about it.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: Every crime, and it's been proven with a broken windows theory,
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: you've got to go after every crime, and in the
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: identification of even minor crimes, you create an atmosphere or
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: a climate.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: Where people become more respectful.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: So we have the ability and we will prosecute every
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: violation of law, and that's why DC is now safer
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: than it's ever been. I mean, crime is down because
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: of the President Trump's making DC safe and beautiful, because
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: of the federal enhancement, because of the coordinated efforts of
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: law enforcement. We've got the lowest homicide rate in decades.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: Crime is down to levels that they haven't seen, and
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: that is because we put our energy and our determination
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: into making sure that cases are being prosecuted.
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: Whereas years ago they.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: Didn't even prosecute sixty seven percent of the arrests. We're
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: changing all that and making sure that DC is safe,
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: especially as we come up to the fourth of July.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: Holland and Judge, We've got all these America two fifty
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: events coming up in DC, but elsewhere after the details
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: of the UFC terror plot came out, Yeah, how worried
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: are you about drones specifically disrupting events in your jurisdiction
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: here in DC.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: Look, we have seen peter people come to DC to
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: create crimes and to get attention and commit crimes and
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: get attention.
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: The fourth of July and the.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: Two hundred and fiftieth anniversary is something that the President
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: and federal law enforcement have been planning for for months.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: It is something that's on the radar, and the fact
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: that it was prevented at the UFC event, as horrific
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: as that event might have been, where they were bringing
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: in explosive devices on drones and then they wanted to
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: pick off people. They are at Fifteen's as they exited
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: the stadium. I mean, this is the kind of thing
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: where law enforcement is energized and is coordinated and working
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: to make sure that the citizens are safe in DC,
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: and the president has done it, he'll continue.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: To do it.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: And kind of on the same track as that we
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: heard at the start of Epic Fury that big cities
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: like Washington with a lot of soft targets and hard targets,
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: needed to be worried about potential Iranian sleeper cells or
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: guys sympathizing with Iran attacking in the homeland, and Washington,
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: DC is the place that gets talked about as much
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: as anywhere. How worried are we at this point in
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: the conflict about or how worried should people be about
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: being in a big crowd on the fourth of July
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: holiday or around the two fifty stuff.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: Look, we have been working on this for over a year.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: We knew that this time and this holiday was coming.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: And make no mistake, Federal law enforcement along with the
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: White House, all of the agencies, FBI, the US Marshalls
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: Park Police, Secret Service, you know, we're on top of
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: this and we have been for a long time.
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: My role is to prosecute.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: My role is to make sure that the violent criminals
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: don't make it out of My role is to make
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: sure the criminals understand, you come to d C to
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: commit violence, you're going to end up in jail for
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: a very long time.
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: Things are different now in DC, but.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: We also have the ability to protect the citizens and
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: that is the first obligation of government. President Trump knows it.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: He has brought in enforcements and reinforcements. Five hundred more
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: National Guard will be coming in to make sure that
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: the citizens are safe. I think people can feel very
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: confident that the president and the team, the law enforcement
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: effort is there to make sure that the American people
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: are safe in Washington.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: And last thing before we let you go, there's a
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: Democratic Socialist who as the inside track for mayor of
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: DC and she's talking about working with the Trump administration
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: except when she doesn't want to listen to this.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: As mayor, I will work with anyone who makes DC safer,
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: but I will also stand up to Trump.
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: And anyone arming DC is a place where we look
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: out for each other.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: So what do you think, Judge, does that sound like
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: a good partner?
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: Well, you know, time will tell Peter, But I'll tell
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: you this. The number one obligation of every mayor in
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: this country, whether it's this woman or anyone else, is
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: public safety. I side with the victims. I don't side
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: with the criminals. And the idea that someone can decide that,
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: you know, you have to be against Trump is absurd
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: because Trump is the only person a mayor Bowser in
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: Washington has recognized as that has brought safety to the
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: citizens of Washington d C. Three years ago, Washington had
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: the fourth highest homicide rate in the nation, and it
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: wasn't until President Trump came in and we brought in
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: all of our forces and all the federal enhancement to
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: work with the MPD that we change this scenario here.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: And we're not going to go backwards on our heart
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: fought ones. You know, if she needs to understand war,
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: what's going on, what it's like to deal with families
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: of lost victims to homicide, deal with rape victims, deal
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: with the victims that were traumatized by a carjacking. Well
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: that she can come and sit down and talk to me,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: but we're not going backwards.
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: There's nothing that's going to change this.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: And the only place for violent criminals in this country
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: is in jail and behind bars. And until we recognize that,
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: there will be chaos. But right now in Washington, there
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: is not chaos and we're not going back.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: US Attorney for Washington to see Judge Janine Pierro. We've
