• 0:12
  Speaker 1: capitol of the President. That will be joining officers from
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: the Metropolitan Police Department what she took into federal control
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: last week. National Guard troops will also be with them,

• 0:25
  Speaker 1: out there. Move follows in August tenth executive order that
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: he signed that federalized local police activated eight hundred DC
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: National Guard troops. Now here's where it gets amusing, because
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: you've heard so much press, so much media, so much
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: lip trapped about well, he shouldn't be doing that, and
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: the federal troops we don't need, we don't need this
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: churn did the mayor has said stuff, the Democrat politicians
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: have said stuff about Trump shouldn't be federalizing. Well, she's DC. Okay.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: And here's the thing now, now, instead of he shouldn't be,
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: it's but he's sending him to the wrong places we
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: need him. Oh my gosh, are you kidding me? Question
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: why troops have been sent to Union Station. JD Vans,
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: vice president insisted its crime rate was actually extremely high.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: Demonstrator's boo jeered and shouted obscenities at JD who was
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: a company He done the visit by Defense Secretary Pete
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: Haigseth and Stephen Miller, Deputy White House Chief of Staff.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: You have vagrants, you have drug addicts, you have homeless,
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: you have mentally ill who harassed, who threatened violence, who
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: attack families, and they've done it for a long time,
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: he told reporters. The move's we've met with resistance from
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: some local residents. Last week, a Justice Department employee was
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: charged with assault after hurling a subway sandwich at a
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: member of the Drug Enforcement Agency. I mean, if you're
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: gonna be stupid enough to throw something at a federal officer,
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: why is samwich? Because you could eat that. That's a
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: You know how much subway costs these days, probably even
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: more in DC.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: I don't eat it, but a thrown a subway sandwich
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: out of federal officers wrong, I don't want.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: To be right. Oh shut up? So anyway, Yeah, now
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: they're getting criticized not because the troops are there, not
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: because of the federalization of the DC police, but because well, okay,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: they're there, but they're not sending them to the right areas.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump will be on patrol tonight with the DC Police.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: Another Trump win here. New York Court Court throughout five
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: hundred million dollar fraud ruling against Trump after blockbuster lawsuit
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: from Latitia James last year. The Verdict of Manhattan found
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: that Trump and his co defendants in the Trump Ordering
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: State Court Organization had illegally enriched themselves by defrauding bank
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: banks and investors as part of a decade long scheme
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: to secure favorable financing terms for some of his brand
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: building properties. Here's the deal. The banks, Deutsche Bank among them.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: The banks said they agreed with the valuations of the
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: properties that he was leveraging to get money. The banks
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: said they agreed to the terms of the loan. Everybody
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: signed off. The banks said he paid back everything in
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: a timely fashion, and they were very happy with the
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: business they had done with Donald Trump and the Trump Organization.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: Latsia James said, you're underrest. Really, everybody in the scheme
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: of things said it was as it was supposed to be.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: Nobody got defrauded, nobody, nothing but Latsia James wanted Donald Trump.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: So they found a way to get a conviction. And
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: in five hundred million dollars was the civil fine levied
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: against the president. And the court today said, yeah, no,
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: not so much, not so much. After a bench warranted
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: our bench trial in civil court, Trump, his companies, and
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: his trust were ordered to pay the state more than
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: three hundred and fifty four million dollars the total disgorgement.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: Never heard that owed back to the estate among all
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: the defendants' money that's effectively forfeited as ill gotten gains.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: So they were just basically trying to break in. Didn't work.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: Court said, we're throwing this verdict own and back to
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: the DC stats. This is where it gets good, as
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: far as I'm concerned, this is where it gets really good. Washington, DC,
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: the week before Donald Trump federalizes the DC police versus
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: the week after Donald Trump federalizes. Have you seen these
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: statuetzet I haven't seen him enough. Robbery down forty six percent,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: assault with the deadly or dangerous weapon down six percent,
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: carjackings down eighty three percent. Car thefts, which is like
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: the national pastime in DC, down twenty one percent. Violent
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: crime overall down twenty two percent. Property crime down six percent.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: All crimes combine average out to a eight percent dropping
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: crime in Washington, d C. From that week versus the
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: other week. Don't tell me it's not working. Don't tell
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: me it's not working. This is our nation's capital. It's
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: not a city, it's not a state, it's a district.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: It exists simply because our federal government is there. If
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: the federal government wasn't there, or there'd be no Washington, DC.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: It'd be part of Virginia. To say that the president
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: is out of his realm federalizing the police department or
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: bringing in federal troops to police the streets is ridiculous.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: To say that it won't work has just been proven wrong.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: Those statistics I just quoted to you came from the
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: Washington d C. Police Union. There you go, union and
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: Washington neither one of his favorable words toward the Trump administration.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: So you know they're not sugarcoating anything. Washington DC Police Union.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: I think this is great news, not just for Donald Trump,
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: but for Washington DC and for America. It shows that active,
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: zealous law enforcement can make a difference quick, fast, and
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: in a hurry. A two, one, nine and eighty six
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: A two one WTV and is my number? Are you
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: surprised by these statistics? First of all? And you know,
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: as far as you're concerned, good news or bad news?
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: Will you're on six ten double UTV.
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: And Hi, hello good man. How are you.
• 6:54

• 6:59
  Speaker 4: fine channel. You sacked? Sure.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: I see you don't know him very well. I can
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: tell already.

• 7:09
  Speaker 4: appreciate it. Yes, uh, yeah, you live on Murray. He
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: will live out by there.
• 7:16

• 7:19
  Speaker 1: my whole life.
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: I used to live over that way, my land. I
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: mean it's still your tulubs right off the front porch.
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: But you know, no sense calling the police for that.
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: But even if they steal your bike or car, Uh,
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: there was not much. It was a juvenile they don't.
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: They the brief say that they get out before they
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: even get the paperwork done.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: Absolutely, that is so true.
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: Wow, how many kids do you have?
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: Now?
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: I have four adult children and now I have I'm

  Speaker 4: Oh, this marriage two years.

  Speaker 1: Yeah, this one's this one's.
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: Two okay, Well you sobered up the last one, right.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: I don't know what it was that happened, but I
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: somewhere I snapped in and got some sense.
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: Well but anyway, yeah, I gave out Monday ben gro City. Here.
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: It happens everywhere. There's no particular place, and when they
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: do that, it just hurts the whole economy.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: Really, will are you in Are you in Grove City proper?
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: Down around uh the you know the the the Columbus
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: Street area, or are you one of the fringe areas well.
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: The fringe area Huber Road six fifty five.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: Okay, well, I mean yeah, Actually I know another Bill
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: that lives down there. I used to work for it
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: and uh and he's a wonderful guy.
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: But no, I'm.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: Will Oh yeah, well he's he's He's William Okay, but
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: you will. Yeah. He lives right across from from the
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: high school down there off of Hoover. But I used
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: to live over. I lived over when I called the
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: Grove City Ghetto off of Alcaya Road, and I was there.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: I was there for about fourteen years, I suppose. And
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: you know, we had a Grove City address, but we
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: had Columbus City services. That's why it was the Grove
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: City Ghetto.
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: And that's the way I was there earlier.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: Yes, then, these seventy five cars that were broken into
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: last night, those are right over there off of Big
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: Runs or Southwest Boulevard, right by Central Crossing High School.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: That's a nice area, too, nice suburban area, and it's
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: not something you expect to wake up to.
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: That's correct. But it can't happen anyway. Absolutely absolutely well
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: on the same page. But I'll let you go. But
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: thank you, sir.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: You take care of yourself will and you are welcome
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: here anytime, except when you say nice stuff about Zach,
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: because then I have to I have to question your stability. Now.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: I just yet, you didn't do it. I just know you.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: I'm just saying, I'm just being honest, you know how
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: I am. I can't lie. I have to be honest.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: I know you're weird, and so the I'm proud weird, though,
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: are you are you, because you're not as I don't know,
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: you have a political mind, but you are not as
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: politically outspoken as probably most people on this side of
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: this building are. Are you. Are you surprised by the statistics?
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: Do you do you find any anything in there that
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: you went, wow.
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: That's I'm not surprised by. Because there's the National Garden
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: federalized troops. I do wonder how long they're going to
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: be there, Like, what's how long are they going to stay?
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean?
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: Like are they going to be there for two weeks,
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: two months or or whatnot. So there's some conflicting opinions.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: I have about it. Well, and see, this is one
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: of the problems with not knowing. If the people that
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: are arrested are real criminals and are charged with real
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: crimes and sentenced to real repercussions for those crimes, this
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: may bring some peace to the streets that is much needed.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: If they go through the typical okay, recognisance the community
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: crap and they're right back out, then you know, yeah,
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: it all goes right back. Columbus does the same thing.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: They and since the Coman administration when Mike Coleman was mayor,
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: they started something called Neighborhood Pride in the City of Columbus,
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: and they would pick an area within a community and
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: you know, here's the boundaries this street to this street
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: and this street to the street. They'd created a square essentially,
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: and for one week they would bring in all city services.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: Code enforcement would be out there, police would be out there,
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: the fire department will be out there checking the hydrants
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: and checking your house if you wanted to, you know,
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: smoke alarms installed or whatever. And they would focus real
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: hard and heavy for that week, and then they went away,
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: and then everything that they had fixed, cleaned up, corrected
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: a month later was yeah, yeah, yeah, because that is
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: the nature of human beings. I've said that before. I
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: did that clean up on the Hilltop and when we
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: got done, I started down Broad Street and somebody had
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: thrown their burger king trash in the middle west Broad Street,
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: and I'm like, this is the last time I'm doing this. Yeah,
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: that's just how I am. We can get Robin or
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: Ron in here before you say, a couple of minutes
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: ran you were on six ten w E TV and hight.
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: Hey Chuck, Yeah, I'd say I was totally applauding his
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: move to do this. DC is just such a mess
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: and no cities should be like that, but especially our
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: Nason's capital, you know. And I went out to visit
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: a buddy that moved to Maryland, Gez way back in
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: ninety eight maybe, and we did a little two around DC,
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: first time I'd ever been there, and I could not
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: believe just the way it looks like that that you know,
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: the big lake there in front of that, the Washington
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: Monument filled goose poop, and goose poop was every the
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: whole place just looked disgusting. I was like, Wow, this
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: is nothing like it looks on TV.
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: Nope, it's and and DC has so much, too, uh
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: so much to offer. When I went down for the
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: inauguration for the forty fifth, we we the closest we
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: could get was the Washington Monument, and the crowd was
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: just so huge. And sitting up there on the hill
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: the Washington Monument, looking down on the White House and
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: everything it was it was glorious. And I started looking
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: around that this city has so much to offer in
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: the way of you know, aesthetic charm. The train stations.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: I'm not a fan of trains, but I'll tell you
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: what there's what. We went through one train station and
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: it was like being inside of a beehive. It was.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: It was amazing in there, and I thought, oh, why
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: don't they build on this instead of just letting it
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: continue to be trashed and exactly, you know, the only
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: way you can do that is by eliminating the creation
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: of the trash. And I hope that's what he's doing
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: right now.
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: Exactly. One other thing that was great about too is
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: the seventeen hundred architecture and stuff, you know, the rolling
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: stuff that is still around as neighborhood beautiful. Yeah, that part.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: Anyway, It's one of the things I like about New
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: England too. I mean, I look at cities like Boston
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: and it's beautiful. I could never live there with the politics,
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: but how beautiful all those you know, two century old
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: buildings that are still standing, and oh we waste so
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: much wonderful thing. Are so many wonderful things from our past.
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: I got to run. I appreciate your art. Thank you
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: very much for the call, and congratulations to Washington, d C.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: And to the Trump administration. These are wonderful, wonderful statistics
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: coming out of DC as far as crime goes. And
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: I think I think next week they'll issue another report.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: I think we're going to see it go down again
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: because people that are doing bad things are either going
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: to be arrested or they're going to get out of Dodge,
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: And either way I'm happy. As long as they don't
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: land here, which my luck they might. You can catch
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: them at gin their's house having dinner
