Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Yeah, come Monday, eleven August, in the ear of our
lower twenty twenty five, we are alive at the White
House Press Briefing Room for historic press briefing. I believe
President the United States is going to come down momentarily.
We're going to cut to that and we've got the
ambient noise right there you can hear. We're going to
go and actually pick it up as soon as the

(00:20):
President comes at the podium. So here's what's going to
happen today. President Trump has already put out a series
of tweets and talked to people and made this pronouncement
over the weekend that because of increasing crime, homelessness, just
general filth and out of control district at Columbia, he's
actually going to take charge of the district of Columbia today. Actually,

(00:42):
they had I think FBI agents and drug enforcement agents
yesterday even walking the mall. But today we're going to
get a much more formal declaration. I think some city
officials may be there.

Speaker 2 (00:54):
Brian Glenn is in.

Speaker 1 (00:55):
This is one of the most packed. The briefing room
is always packed. Our own bride and glen'son a tweet
just a few moments ago that showed how packed it was.
Let me bring in Dave Brat. Dave, you've been a
member of Congress before. You know how sensitive things are
between the district, the House, in the executive branch.

Speaker 2 (01:13):
But this city's so out of.

Speaker 1 (01:15):
Control right now. And they talk about stats and crime
stats are down. That's because stuff's not reported. I think
it's pretty generally accepted by people that live in the district.
Of course, the War Room's main studios and headquarters are
right there near the Supreme.

Speaker 2 (01:30):
Court, Capitol Hill.

Speaker 1 (01:31):
Everything about DC right now appears it's out of control.
Your thoughts, sir, before the President pops in.

Speaker 3 (01:38):
Yeah, Well, in Congress, you know, we lived under very
lax times in national security for the White House was
lax nine to eleven. The tragedy woke everybody up. But
d C is on another level, right, that's local government level, supposedly,
but there's a lot of responsibilities and a lot of important.

Speaker 4 (01:59):
People there that need to be protected.

Speaker 5 (02:01):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (02:01):
And then with the onset of the censorship regime under Biden,
security was just a misnomer, right, it was controlled by
the left. Offences were put up will and nilly in
support of political projects, and so we need to return
to just normalcy, the rule of law. And I think
that's what's going to happen here. And you know, the

(02:23):
left will go, you know crazy, and their brains are
going to explode and they're gonna you know, bashes and whatever.
They cannot give any examples of the rule of law
being violated.

Speaker 4 (02:34):
That's what they're always missing.

Speaker 3 (02:35):
Right even with Tulci gabbered and these major legal initiatives
that are going over to the grand jury now into
the Department of Justice, the mainstream media just yells and says, oh,
my word, disguis and they never know the thousands of
pages of detail where the law has been violated.

Speaker 4 (02:51):
So this is systematic. It's it's not just DC.

Speaker 3 (02:56):
The left has been against police and UH and the
sheriffs across the country under Soros initiatives, and everybody knows this.

Speaker 2 (03:04):
Yeah, and so.

Speaker 4 (03:05):
We're trying to frame it, but it's got to be framed.

Speaker 2 (03:07):
I think more generally, I think look, and I think
this is perfect.

Speaker 1 (03:12):
I think the President's going to lay out today an
entire program for the District of Columbia. Because you the
taxpayers pay for the District or Columbia. It's now time
to install good ordered discipline. But I hope this is
a template for Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York. I
tell you what we're gonna do. We're pay We're going
to try to We're gonna attempt to put our cold
open in right now. As soon as any Caroline Levitt

(03:35):
or the President coming, We're gonna cut even if we
have to cut the cold open. So let's go ahead
and we have a few minute cold open, because there's
so much going on over the weekend, we want to
get you up to speed and kind of kick off
the news week. Hed let's go ahead and play the
cold open. Like I said, we'll come and cut in
immediately if the President or Caroline or any official comes
to the podium.

Speaker 6 (03:55):
There's also big news overseas. President Donald Trump and Russian
President Vladimir Putin are set to meet this Friday in
Alaska to discuss Russia's war on Ukraine. The President told
reporters on Friday that a potential land swap could be
part of a ceasefire deal, but Ukrainian President Volodi mr
Zelensky responded on Saturday saying Ukraine will quote not give

(04:18):
their land to the occupier, adding that Russia cannot be
rewarded for its actions. It's still unclear if Zelensky will
attend the Alaska meeting, but senior US officials tell NBC
News it is quote absolutely possible. Meanwhile, President Trump's former
national security advisor is criticizing the upcoming summit, calling it

(04:40):
a win for Putin.

Speaker 7 (04:43):
It's very gracious of Putin to come to former Russian
America for the summit. This is not quite as bad
as Trump inviting the Taliban to Camp David to talk
about the peace negotiations in Afghanistan. But it certainly reminds
one of that the only better place for Putin than

(05:04):
Alaska would be if the sun that were being held
in Moscow. So the initial setup, I think is a
great victory for Putin. He's a rogue leader of a
pariased state and he's going to be welcomed into the
United States.

Speaker 8 (05:17):
Does not appear to be a clear end in sight
for this redistricting standoff that's going on in the state
of Texas. Now, Republicans will try to move forward on
redistricting once again today when the Texas House reconvenes at
one pm Central time, but Democrats have shown no signs
of backing down from their strategy, as dozens of Democratic

(05:37):
state lawmakers still remain out of the state in order
to prevent a vote on redistricting from happen. Now, there
is a very real time crunch right now. The current
special session is set to end on August nineteenth, so
Democrats are trying to run out the clock. But as
you heard Texas Governor Greg Abbott there, he is intent
on calling special session after special session until that they

(06:00):
can get this redistricting push across the finish line. And
at the same time as Texas is waging this redistricting fight,
we have blue states who are also talking about their
own redistricting efforts. A lot of guys will this week
will be on the state of California, as they are
planning to unveil new maps this week that could potentially

(06:22):
redraw up to five congressional districts to pick up more
Democratic seats. The California governor has said that he wants
to see voters vote on that issue come November. But
Texas Governor Greg Abbott has brushed off some of the
concerns that some of those blue state efforts might lead
to more democratic and less Republican seats.

Speaker 6 (06:41):
Or Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanya, who is defending his
decision to expand Israel's offensive into Galza. During a press
conference yesterday, Netanya, who said Israel quote has no choice
but to finish the job and complete the defeat of
Hamas and expects to complete the new defensive fairly quickly. Netnya,

(07:02):
whose office also released a statement saying that he spoke
with President Trump yesterday. The pair discussed Israel's plan to
take over the remaining Hamas strongholds in Gaza, while Netnya,
who thanked Trump for his steadfast support. Meanwhile, Al Jazeira
claims Israel intentionally struck at tent housing journalists in Gaza

(07:28):
City yesterday, killing five employees of the network. Israel says
one of those killed was a member of Hamas, acclaim
Al Jazeira and the journalists themselves previously and strenuously denied.
Al Jazeira, which is funded by a Qatar's government, said
ten of its staff have been killed by Israel since

(07:49):
twenty twenty three.

Speaker 5 (07:51):
I've had it with.

Speaker 9 (07:53):
White people that triple trumped, that have the nerve in
the to walk into a Mexican restaurant, a Chinese restaurant,
an Indian restaurant, go to perhaps their gay hairdresser. I
don't think you should be able to enjoy anything but

(08:15):
cracker Barrel. And if you want to triple Trump and
you want to browbeat DEI, and you want to browbeat
gay people, and you want to browbeat black people as
you've been doing for four hundred years, and you want
to browbeat this generation of immigrants that come over here
and open up businesses, earnestly pay their taxes. You want
to demonize them and call them rapists and felons and all,

(08:37):
when the felon is the teeny weeny mushroom piece of
kankles mctaco at the top of the ticket. I have
had it from top to bottom white people that triple
Trump should be banned, boycotted from enjoying the best thing
that America has to offer, which is multi culturalism. Get
your fat asses out of the Mexican restaurant. Get your

(08:59):
fat asses over cracker barrel, because nobody wants to see
your smug ass, teeny weeney pink arm big gut around.
Nobody wants to see that.

Speaker 10 (09:10):
No one President Trump about his new plans for Washington,
d C. Federal agencies posted on social media but patrolling
the city under the hashtag quote make DC safe again.
Up to one hundred and thirty FBI agents could join them.
The President's plan to make DC quote more beautiful than ever,
involves getting rid of all homeless people.

Speaker 5 (09:30):
He says.

Speaker 10 (09:31):
The city is seeking seeing a spike in crime, but
really the numbers say otherwise. Police statistics show a twenty
six percent drop in violent crime over the past twelve months.

Speaker 2 (09:45):
Welcome back.

Speaker 1 (09:46):
Like I said, We're going to cut right to the
podium as soon as this historic press conference starts. Bratt,
do you do you qualify as homeless when you when
you come to d C?

Speaker 2 (09:54):
Oh no, that's right. You use the carriage house at
the embassy. I guess that. I guess that that's a mare.
Was Dave tom secret?

Speaker 1 (10:04):
Dave walk us through uh the official kind of uh
in d C? What's the official structure of all this?
What the President's team are dealing with this morning is
they announced they're essentially going to take over federalize much
of the district for safety concerns.

Speaker 3 (10:22):
Sir, Yeah, Well, first I just have to do a
quick reaction to that cold open the white piece is
so overcooked. The the overt racism coming from the hyper left,
it's just absurd. But I was most offended at the
assault upon people with big guts. I work out so hard,
and you know, it's just that's where she went over.

Speaker 4 (10:43):
The line all of us. I she hold it, hold it.

Speaker 1 (10:47):
But if you hold it, if you're going to go there,
if you're going to go there, I've got Yeah, I've
got a problem. I got a problem with I got
a problem with her. On cracker Borough, cracker Burrough has
totally you know, redone the interior of many the they've
ruined cracker Barrow by getting away from the original Cracker
Barrew Country Store with the lattice work and all the

(11:08):
things people loved about it, and they've gone to like
an open they've made it. They've made it bullpen society right,
the open uh, the open bullpens that they have in
these companies that they kind of ruin it.

Speaker 2 (11:19):
So no, she's a.

Speaker 1 (11:20):
She's a hater from Bravo, and everybody knows the politics
of Bravo.

Speaker 2 (11:24):
That's why many of these shows, many of these shows
are being canceled.

Speaker 1 (11:27):
Uh continue on, sir, though, by the way, the coal
open was there to make sure you got fired up
on a Monday morning. I cannot understand why they still
bring in John Bolton, who's a disgraced, fired former national
security advisor that has Trump derangement syndrome at the worst thing,
because you're not getting an even handy you're not getting
a smart analysis. But we want to show you right

(11:49):
there of what went down over the weekend on both
Russia and Gaza, and of course President Trump, we're gonna
do you know, kind of special reports every day in
the run up.

Speaker 2 (11:59):
To this historic meeting in Alaska.

Speaker 1 (12:03):
Uh. But continue on about DC, because today President Trump
is starting the week historically essentially putting good order and
discipline into the Imperial Capital.

Speaker 2 (12:14):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (12:14):
And then he will finish the week in Alaska cutting
I think the beginning of a rap prochman uh with
with Russia. But Dave Brett, go ahead and continue about
d C.

Speaker 4 (12:26):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (12:26):
Well, you know, I let in with the assault on
the rule of law in general, and of course you
know I didn't mention the keyword.

Speaker 4 (12:33):
It's the deep state.

Speaker 3 (12:34):
And then you see that rant from the fire out
that's what you're dealing with.

Speaker 5 (12:38):
UH.

Speaker 3 (12:38):
When we're talking about the rule of law, and so yeah,
I want to double down. That person needs to be
calmed down and we just need to have the rule
law on effect and the the the idea that we
browbeat blacks and browns, And that's the most absurd thing.
She is the one who's being racist and saying whites
should not have equal treatment under the rule of law.

(12:59):
Everybody at Cracker Barrel, I knows good Christian people out
here in Lynchburg. We believe every person on this planet
is made in the image of God. But everybody has
to follow the law from God in our city. But
let me get to the technical peace on d C.

Speaker 4 (13:14):
And it's a unique thing. Washington, d C.

Speaker 3 (13:17):
Is not part of the federal government but serves as
its seat. It's a federal district distinct from any state,
created under Article one, Section eight of the US Constitution
to house the national government.

Speaker 4 (13:30):
So there's kind of the unique status there.

Speaker 3 (13:32):
Congress has ultimate authority over DC, and while it has
some local governance like a mayor council, lacks full statehood
or voting representatives in Congress.

Speaker 4 (13:42):
The federal government operates.

Speaker 3 (13:43):
Within DC, but the district itself is a separate entity,
not an official component of the government, like a department
or agency, and so it's a little complex, but you know,
Trump's got the Justice Department, they got smart lawyers, and
we'll get this story straight on what goes here.

Speaker 4 (14:00):
And it's out of control. There's no debate on that part.

Speaker 3 (14:03):
And I like to see Trump taking the initiative on
these things where people want to live safely. I went
to high school in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Back when I was there,
just completely normal. Now it's been it's overturned with just
I don't even know how to put it. It's just
but it's it's it's not the old Minnesota I knew,
and it's a tragedy. There's crime all over the place

(14:25):
there all these new mayors New York City, we got
a you know, a full fledged communist running the CIA, FBI.
Pieces taken on by Tulsi going over to Justice are
the tip of what's wrong.

Speaker 5 (14:40):
Right.

Speaker 3 (14:41):
These folks were leading and not prosecuting the law across
the country in these cities. They were letting it go
under the Biden logic, and so we need to turn
that around to get back to making America great and
lawful again.

Speaker 1 (14:57):
Well, no, the sanctuary cities I mean they're they're up
in your and people that you know, if we can
pull up to my producer George Will on Bill Maher,
I've get it up on Ghetter George Will and Bill
Maher on Friday Night said, oh, I hope you know
he's a socialist, and I hope he wins because they'll
show people the failure socialism. What's happening in New York

(15:19):
is not socialism. This is very much what's in d C,
in Chicago and Los Angeles. You have a neo Marxist
or full Marxist, particularly in if not so much in economics,
cultural Marxism coupled with a radical jihad and trying to
make like in for instance, in New York, trying to
remake the police force into a Muslim police force.

Speaker 2 (15:42):
This is what's happening. If you think uh Zorhan in
that crew when they win, do.

Speaker 1 (15:47):
You if you think they're gonna give it up on
any election, You're you're kidding yourselves. They're gonna it's gonna
have to be taken from them. It's not gonna be
it's not gonna once they're in, it's gonna be like
the Bolsheviks.

Speaker 2 (15:58):
They're not gonna give up.

Speaker 1 (15:59):
People are are in particularly the donors. Because I've spent
time with these guys, they have no clue of what
they've created. This is the thing about these situations in
the United States right now. The donor class, progressive and
quote unquote conservative, have created these situations. And now this
is why President Trump he's going to start in DC.

(16:20):
I hope this is a template for going around the
country and particularly these massive metropolitan aias like Los Angeles, Chicago,
and New York.

Speaker 2 (16:28):
You have three of the greatest cities in the world.
Three world cities.

Speaker 1 (16:31):
Are essentially run by insurrectionists that failed to comply with
any federal law whatsoever, and it's only spinning out of
control more not less. Yes, you had the bad Own Breds,
and we've done a very good job of trying to
get the criminals out, but that's only the surface of
the problem. That is not the problem itself. Today in DC,
you're seeing this is why it's so historic. This is

(16:53):
why this this briefing room is packed. Also, remember to
the person in there, even as progressive as some of
the Trump hating derangement they have, every one of these
reporters wants more safety in the streets in DC because
they understand it's totally out of control of Dave Brett.

(17:14):
Your thoughts, sir, Yeah.

Speaker 4 (17:16):
And I just want to extend it.

Speaker 3 (17:18):
You know, for some reason, illegal immigration and the border
invasion just doesn't grab the American people across the spectrum.

Speaker 4 (17:26):
And that you know, we need comms.

Speaker 3 (17:27):
Right the other day we're showing, we're talking about you know,
Bobby Kennedy's great work, and there's not enough comms.

Speaker 4 (17:33):
There's not enough comms on the assault.

Speaker 3 (17:35):
Also, the Mexican cartel issue that Trump is going over,
this is not abstract. Under the Biden regime, there's anywhere
from three hundred thousand to five hundred thousand missing children.
Half of these, maybe more, are young girls that are
being trafficked and prostituted. You know, you can't the average

(17:57):
American mind the suburbs. They don't want to picture this,
cannot handle this. But our congress leaders and our Senate,
where are they? Right when you want tax cuts, which
I'm in favor of, Right, you got to have the
economy humming and the motor running. So I'm not making
a cut against him, but I'm just saying, whenever you
want tax cuts, boy, the TV cameras are lit. We're

(18:17):
on Fox News, We're all over the country to get
those tax cuts passed. We got three hundred thousand missing
young girls and boys. Folks, What in the world is
going on in this country? And Trump is standing between
us and total chaos and barbarism, right, and so the
idea that he's a bad guy in a despot, You've

(18:38):
got to be kidding. He was voted in precisely for
this reason, to end the border invasion, to end this chaos,
to bring back the rule of law, which also is
very good for business. And these folks who say, you know,
just we want cheap labor, You've got to be kidding me.
You're not looking out for the welfare of the country
or its people.

Speaker 4 (18:56):
Well, so thank god Trump's taking a leak.

Speaker 1 (18:59):
Yeah, I hope, well, I hope part of this basically
taking control of the federal district. I hope that the
beginning of this is mass deportations that from the schools
and all of it, and the businesses, right, they should
start the mass deportations.

Speaker 2 (19:16):
You're going to have control of the imperial capital.

Speaker 1 (19:18):
To me, one of the highest orders of magnitude things
you can do right off the bat is is mass deportations.
I want to thank Yes. Like I said, today's going
to be a little chopping. We're going to go live
momentarily as soon as someone comes down pry Caroline love
it to tear it off. The President is supposed to
be part of this in a big way to really

(19:38):
make this announcement today of how he's going to take
this at least starting with law enforcement take active control
of the District of Columbia.

Speaker 2 (19:48):
And you can tell this is a pretty historic day.

Speaker 1 (19:49):
That's why the briefing room is absolutely jam packed. Er
Brian Glenn happened is in there. Of course they've cut
Colms off for everybody. Want to thank the teammate Birch Gold.
I'll probably get Philip Patrick on tomorrow. Gold's been bouncing around.
It's not the price of gold you need to understand.
It's the process of how you get to the price.
This is what we try to show you in the

(20:12):
end of the Dollar Empire. Go to Birch Gold dot
com promo code Bannon seven free installments we're working on
the eighth and the ninth simultaneously that we'll released. We
also have got a bunch of events that we're gonna
be talking about after Labor Day where we'll make those announcements.
We're working every day with the Birch Gold teams to
make sure you go to Birchgold dot com to understand
the process of how do you get to the price

(20:34):
of gold. Also, Jim Rickers, Jim will be with us
this week as we do the run up to this
historic summit in Alaska to try to end attempt to
end the Ukraine War and begin a Russian rap pro
Schman to take Russia out of the sphere of influence
of the Chinese Communist Party and get it back a
line like we were in the Second World War and

(20:56):
make sure that we can take on the Chinese Communist Party.
Jim Rickards Records warm have a special landing page records
war room dot com. You get strategic intelligence access to
his newsletter that chairman and CEOs all throughout the world read.
You get the same insight baseball they get. And he
throws in a free book about artificial intelligence money GPT

(21:18):
about the impact of artificial intelligence upon currency, particularly fiance currency.

Speaker 2 (21:23):
Make sure you go check it out today.

Speaker 1 (21:25):
The President is going to be is going to be arriving.
I think momentarily the reason, Dave, I think they chose
the briefing room instead of having a press gaggle in
the press gaggle in the oval, I believe I saw
him handing out some handouts prior to this. I think
they may use the I think they may use the

(21:46):
monitors here to put up some audio visual maybe a
couple of briefing points, a deck, maybe talk about some
statistics to get to get up to everybody up to
speed on exactly what is doing, also the technical aspects
of it. I would assume that either the Attorney General
will be here or somebody from Main Justice, or maybe

(22:09):
even the great Judge Janine Piro, who has who has
now been sworn in. She's been confirmed as the US
Attorney Your thoughts, sir.

Speaker 3 (22:21):
Yeah, Well, as you know, you had John Lott on
the other day. Uh, and he's one of the best.
Everybody ought to look up his work on crime in
the inner cities, Who it hurts, who it helps, the
causes of it, and of course it decimates the African
American neighborhoods, the Hispanic neighborhoods. No one ever goes at

(22:41):
it that way, right, And then the left goes off
and you know, we don't need any guns. You can't
protect yourself under the Second Amendment. And then the press
is going to go off on the deportation aspect of
it today. So I'm glad they're getting into the statistics.
We need a good debate on what is causing this crime,
where's it coming from, who's agitating for it, who's paying

(23:05):
for it? Right, there are leftist forces and we all
know now right after USAID spilt it on the deep
state connections to NGOs, and so we've seen the connections
between the incentivizing of crime, not the reduction of crime.
And then when they go off on their moral high
horse about deportations, is how mean it is? The mean

(23:29):
one all political views are. My own was the Biden administration. Right,
they're the ones that caused this. Right, it's like missing
the federal reserve causing all the problems. Because it's complex
who caused all of this. It's the twenty million illegal.

Speaker 4 (23:43):
That have caused this crisis.

Speaker 3 (23:45):
And for the left to come about and say, if
you want to fix the problem, you're guilty. No, sorry, folks,
why don't you go apologize to the three hundred thousand
missing children in this country that are being trafficked and prostituted,
and can you adge what their families are going through?

Speaker 4 (24:02):
God help us all.

Speaker 1 (24:05):
By the way, a good announcement our own Colonel John Mills.
You've known Colonel Mills over the years, these great briefings
and would give us on Taiwan and cyber He was
sworn in today as Assistant Secretary for International Cyberspace Security
over at the State Department.

Speaker 2 (24:22):
So another one plays.

Speaker 1 (24:23):
Colonel John Mills starts work today, sworn in and is
at He is in.

Speaker 2 (24:27):
His office and hard at work. I want to play.

Speaker 1 (24:31):
So if the President comes in an ant time, we're
playing the Clipper, immediately cut out of it. Let's go
and play the George Will on Bill Maher from Friday Night.

Speaker 11 (24:39):
This must be horrible for a guy like you, who
you spent your whole life talking about how government tries
to do too much, which it does and spends too much.
And here you have Trump, who is the Republican who
is aggrandizing more power than anybody, as we just talked about.
And on the other side you have the guy running
in New York Mendami, right, Okay, who's like a straight

(25:01):
up communist.

Speaker 2 (25:02):
I mean he is.

Speaker 11 (25:03):
He talks about you know, the things that communists ay,
I mean he wants free grocery stores, free buses.

Speaker 12 (25:10):
I want him to win.

Speaker 5 (25:11):
You want him to win.

Speaker 12 (25:12):
Yeah, I think every twenty years or so.

Speaker 5 (25:16):
Wait, we need it.

Speaker 12 (25:19):
Every twenty years or so. We need a conspicuous, confined
experiment with socialism so we can crack it up again.
Socialist slogan used to be workers of the world, you night,
you have nothing to lose, but you're changed. The new
socialist slogan is trust us. This time it won't be
a mess. So when the post war labor government Britain

(25:46):
was about to get started, one of our leading lights
was a socialist name in Nurian Bevon. He said, what
could it go wrong? He said, we have a nation
bedded on coal surrounded by fish. He would take an
organizational genius to a shortage of either. In three years
they had a shortage of both. That's social buism.

Speaker 5 (26:07):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (26:09):
Remember for years, Dave Brett, they would have ABC News
and CBS and NBC when you had fewer and fewer
options than you have to day with cable, and of
course all the podcasting would have the two House Conservatives
they would put up would be George Wilf this little
bow tie, and then they would have David Brooks right

(26:30):
with his bow tie, because they wanted America to think
that Conservatives kind of these odd balls, right, these these
buckley type.

Speaker 2 (26:38):
Intellectuals that.

Speaker 1 (26:42):
You know, were kind of a feat uh and and
and then they're thinking, so kind of counter to the
lived experience of the American people.

Speaker 2 (26:51):
All this kind of theoretical conservatism.

Speaker 1 (26:54):
And this is why the Conservatives the countries in the
shape it's in, because the Conservatives didn't fight for anything.
They kind of got tapped along and they were part
of what we call controlled opposition.

Speaker 2 (27:03):
He never really took a stand.

Speaker 1 (27:04):
It really threw down hard until Trump came along and said, hey,
this can't go on any longer. And that's why today
is so historic. What's going to happen in the White
House briefing room? The President of States is going to
come down and uh, maybe with a couple of officials,
I think probably Judge Janine, the US attorney for the
District at Columbia, or maybe someone from Maine Justice and

(27:25):
Layout and make the case of why he's forced to
do this. But he will clean DC up, and I
hope and I believe part of that will be the
beginning of mass deportations of illegal aliens, which are rife
in the district at Columbia because nothing's inced, no laws
are enforced there. But I hope becomes a template for
what can be done in Los Angeles and in Chicago

(27:47):
and in New York and for George wild to sit there,
he has no clue. This is remember he had no
clue about the rise of the populous nationalist movement or
Trump hated it from the beginning. Hates President Trump hate
populist nationalism. I mean literally just hates it, but was
clueless about the power of it. The same thing about
in New York. He doesn't understand. This is the Red

(28:10):
Green Alliance. This is a Marxism, These Marxists tied in
with radical jihad. These are not socialists, right, They're not
people that just want to, oh have you know, have
a couple of new free programs. It's much deeper than that,
and it is going to be a massive, massive, massive problem.
You can tell by the effectless nature of people trying

(28:31):
to stop his election, of how clueless the people in
New York City who brought this on They brought this
on themselves. They brought this on themselves, and now they're
sitting there. He is a socialist. And if you see
the big donors and the billionaires in New York and
they're wandering all around, they have no earthy idea, what's
about to devour them? They bret your thoughts, sir, Yeah, well.

Speaker 4 (28:55):
I think that's well put. You know, I used to.

Speaker 3 (28:58):
George will Is a Princeton man, right, I went to
Princeton Seminary, you know, thirty five years ago or whatever
it was now, and him and Brooks and et cetera.

Speaker 4 (29:09):
It sounded like they had the right call for the day.

Speaker 3 (29:13):
But upon inspection, you know, they write about federalism and
the rule of law, etc.

Speaker 4 (29:18):
But they're tied into right. When he says I want
mom Tommy.

Speaker 3 (29:21):
To win up in New York a certified communists, what
that means is he thinks he'll be safe in his
Georgetown mansion, but while the rest of us suffer under
this experiment for a few years and then the legacy
of that experiment.

Speaker 4 (29:34):
So no, I don't want him to win. I want
to defeat.

Speaker 3 (29:38):
That set of ideas that has hurt people all through
history you cannot allow. You know, that's the way the
establishment views things. And then will you know what you're
saying he knew? It turns out you know about all
of the deep State. You know, he knows his connections
and everybody he knows. He knows all State Department, all USAID,
all the CIA, all of FBI.

Speaker 4 (29:58):
That's his network. If he was a total truth teller.

Speaker 3 (30:02):
And you know, one of the things is that you know,
I like George personally, but I would tell you he's
missing the faith dimension. There's no fire in the belly
for the terror that is taking place on these three
hundred thousand missing young kids right now.

Speaker 4 (30:15):
George, where are you on this?

Speaker 3 (30:18):
This border invasion is causing massive human pain where at
wars across the board, with massive government overreach being led
by the CIA and the State Department and the deep state.
George knows all of it, and so his moral silence
here at George, you're complicit in this. And Brooks, you know,
you seem like a nice guy and all that kind

(30:40):
of thing, but you know about all this, and if
you don't speak up in the face of what is
clearly evil to try to correct it and Trump.

Speaker 4 (30:47):
You can just you know, be upset with him.

Speaker 3 (30:49):
And he's not as sophisticated as the Princeton man and
the Harvard man or whatever, but he is putting his
life at risk and has twice to get it right
or the least amongst these, And so as soon as
you two step up, you know, I wish we're all
on the same team.

Speaker 4 (31:06):
We should be.

Speaker 3 (31:06):
If you're true conservatives, you'd be screaming and yelling for
the guts of what the Christian heart cries out for,
which is justice for God's least of these. And you're
missing it. You're both missing it, and so's the swamp,
and so's the deep state. And religion. You know, you
don't want to overblow it, because there's fakes all over
religion as well. But boy, if you'd put one, you know,

(31:28):
truly religious, humble person in each agency to call you know,
Bologney on the rest of them.

Speaker 4 (31:33):
President Trump, I think you'd be very well served.

Speaker 3 (31:36):
If you look at the people who have turned on you,
ask if the people who have turned on you are
fully Christian or have some other set of grounding that
they will not turn away from. Right, Is there some
foundational aspect to the rule of law and human goodness,
that they will never sacrifice for money or power or whatever.

Speaker 4 (31:56):
And if they're not of that standard, you got to
get rid of them.

Speaker 5 (32:00):
Now.

Speaker 1 (32:01):
This is you know, President Trump, we just went through
the two hundredth the commemoration of the two hundredth day
in this second term on Friday, and as we've been
saying since the end of the first hundred days, the
time of testing is now because this is a convergence
of all these issues, right from the invasion on the
Southern border to the Ukraine, you know, the beginning of
the kinetic part of World War two, both in Gaza,

(32:24):
you know, the Middle East and in Ukraine, the financial situation,
all of it.

Speaker 2 (32:30):
Just some updates.

Speaker 1 (32:31):
We're going to get to Brian Harrison maybe in the
second hour, but that might not be happy this the
press briefing having been delayed already thirty minutes. We'll probably
eat at least sometime of the eleven o'clock hour. Anyway,
Brian Harrison, we will get to Texas on redistricting. Long
story short, There's been a lot of rhetoric over the
weekend in the House, not much action. They still have

(32:53):
their parking spaces, they still have their parking spaces.

Speaker 2 (32:56):
You know, not much else has been done, but he'll
give us an update.

Speaker 1 (33:00):
I believe we're seeing some movement out of the Texas Senate.
Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick has no you know, he should
call immediately a vote. They've got a quorum, they have
all the issues sorted out. They should call it and
let's at least pass the Texas in the Texas Senate
this redistricting. You know, while we can. I believe this

(33:20):
is the last week of the special session. The Governor's
always said he's going to call another. But for the
Governor and Patrick and the Speaker of the House, this
has been a debacle of your own disorganization. This could
have been taken care of a very if you move
with alacrity. The reason they didn't move with alacrity they
are not Trump people. They don't want to support Trump,

(33:40):
and they don't believe in really the underlying tenant here,
the of the demographic shift within the state of Texas,
and they don't understand the power of President Trump's movement,
the power of this populous nationalist movement, particularly in places
like the Rio Grand Valley, where they're going to restruct redistrict.
Two of the districts down. This is five seats a

(34:01):
pickup in a redistricting, and I believe in twenty twenty
six we're gonna pick up many more seats, just given
the Trump program and the way people are are embracing it.

Speaker 2 (34:10):
But in the House, a total debacle.

Speaker 1 (34:12):
Brian Harrison will be give us an update, I believe
from the four of the House. Like I said, I
believe the Senate may move this week because there's nothing
stopping them, and this is the last week of the
special session. Also, this week kicked off by this historic
press briefing here in the White House about actually taking
active control of the Imperial Capital. You've got other issues

(34:36):
too that are coming up and will be addressed. I
think you're gonna see a lot more in developments this week.
We talk about the mass deportations day Bratt. It has
been leaked already that the Defense Department and other agencies
of the federal government are looking hard at something we've
called for from the beginning, and that is a direct
interdiction into the cartels in northern Mexico. The car tells

(35:00):
a big driver of not just the drug trafficking, but
the human trafficking. Although it's been cut, you know, virtually
to zero, they're still using back channel. As you said,
you have hundreds of thousands of young children here that
cannot be identified or we don't know exactly where they are.
This all came during the Biden regime. But war on

(35:20):
the cartels for fentanyl, for their drug distribution, for human
trafficking is clearly called for. And the government in Mexico
has really just given Listen all the proclamations they put out,
it's all just happy talk.

Speaker 5 (35:32):
Right.

Speaker 1 (35:33):
It's a government that's completely totally controlled by the cartels,
and paramilitary and or military interdiction. To me is something
that's much more vital to the national security of the
United States than Ukraine or in Gaza, right, or in Persia.

Speaker 2 (35:47):
Right.

Speaker 1 (35:47):
This is vital to the security of the United States that,
as you should understand, is.

Speaker 2 (35:51):
Being worked on Dave.

Speaker 1 (35:52):
At the same time, you had this massive summit of
which they refuse to call it in Alaska between Hooton
and President Trump to basically bring an end to the
Ukraine War and to do it in a way that
people lay down to their guns now and kind of
move on and figure out how they're going to rebuild that.
At the same time, you do not entice you start

(36:14):
the rapprochement with the Russians and the Americans against the
Chinese Communist Party and don't trigger an invasion of Taiwan
by the CCP. There's amazing footage Captain Finel, who will
get tomorrow, go and try to have him this morning
in the near Scarborough Shoals in the South China Sea.

(36:34):
Incredible footage of a of a Chinese destroyer cutting off
the front of a Chinese Coastguard a Coastguard ship as
they were both trying to essentially get in the way
of navigation of a Filipino I believe Coastguard a Philippine
Navy Coastguard vessel. So there's a lot cooking up there. Last,

(36:56):
but not least, you heard Net and Yahoo again came
down hard on this Gaza, you know, occupation of Gaza.
The military, they're gonna take Gaza City first. I just
hope that someone in the President Trump's administration has at
least looked at the plan, because if you hear the
idea of talk about it, Dave uh there there, it's
an impossibility to actually occupy Gaza unless you draw the

(37:20):
Americans in first as logistics, right, you get people got
to be fed, so you start all these uh food
distribution centers. But then you're gonna need You're gonna need uh,
you're gonna need personnel to defend them. Next thing you know,
you're gonna have America in there as an occupation force,
or at least a partial occupation force. Exactly what happened
in Baghdad. And folks got to remember the in the

(37:41):
here we go right here, here come people. We're gonna
cut live to the briefing room. Uh, the crew is
up there and we'll take let them take it from
here and stuff, and I offer cumbers leaders.

Speaker 2 (38:09):
Just keep that photo shot right there.

Speaker 1 (38:11):
You got Pam Bondies who said mean just as the
turned general, the Secretary ofs Fence Pete Hexa is there.

Speaker 2 (38:17):
Looks like Department of Interior is there.

Speaker 1 (38:19):
Also Judge Janine As being US Attorney, she's there.

Speaker 2 (38:25):
So I'm imagine they're waiting. There's cash, but tell of
the FBI. I imagine they're waiting for the Here it
comes to President of United States. We'll turn it over
now to the President United States.

Speaker 5 (38:36):
Wow, I've been up here a lot I've never seen
a crowd like this. I think we need a ballroom,
and that's happening. It's gonna be a beautiful ballroom. This
is really a lot of people most have ever seen
in this room. And we're here for a very serious purpose,

(38:57):
very serious, verypose. Something's out of control, but we're gonna
put in control very quickly, like we did on the
southern border. I'm announcing a historic action to rescue our
nation's capital from crime, bloodshed, bedlam, and squalor and worse.
This is Liberation Day in DC, and we're going to

(39:18):
take our capital back. We're taking it back under the
authorities vested in me as the President of the United States.
I'm officially invoking Section seventy forty of the District of
Columbia Home Rule Act, you know what that is, and
placing the DC Metropolitan Police Department under direct federal control.

(39:39):
And you'll be meeting the people that will be directly
involved with that. Very good people, but they're tough and
they know what's happening. They've done it before. In addition,
I'm deploying the National Guard to help re establish law
order of public safety in Washington, d C. And they're

(40:00):
going to be allowed to do their job properly. And
you people are victims of it too. You know your reporters,
and I understand a lot of you tend to be
on the liberal side, but you don't want to get
You don't want to get mugged and raped and shot
and killed. And you all know people and friends of
yours that happened. And so you can be any anything

(40:21):
you want, but you want to have safety in the streets.
You want to be able to leave your apartment or
your house where you live and feel safe and go
into a store to buy a newspaper, buy something. And
you don't have that now. The murder rate in Washington
today is higher than that of Bogata, Columbia, Mexico City,
some of the places that you hear about as being

(40:45):
the worst places on earth, much higher. This is much higher.
The number of Carthf's has doubled over the past five years,
and the number of Carl Jakins has more than tripled.
Murders in twenty twenty three reached the highest rate probably ever.
They say twenty five years, but they don't know what
that means because it just goes back twenty five years.

(41:07):
Can't be worse. Our capital city has been overtaken by
violent gangs and bloodthirsty criminals, roving mobs of wild youth,
drugged out maniacs, and homeless people. And we're not going
to let it happen anymore. We're not going to take it,
just like we did on our southern border. Nobody comes
to our southern border anywhere. Three months in a row,

(41:29):
we had zero. I don't know if that's right, but
the people that do the work, it's a very liberal
group of people, actually, and they actually said zero for
the last three months. Nobody thought a thing like that
was possible. And you know when you say, take a
look at numbers. I just saw some charts. These are
different cities throughout the world. Red is okay, the red

(41:54):
is place. Go to Washington, DC. Look at these dad is.
We doubled up on Baghdad, Panama City, Brasilia, San Jose,
Costa Rica, Bogata, Columbia, Heavy drugs, Mexico City, I mentioned Lima, Peru,

(42:19):
all double and triple what they are. So do you
want to live in places like that? I don't think so.
I don't think so, and I think the people in
this room. If you wrote correctly, you'd see look at
the kind of numbers we have DC forty one per
one hundred thousand, number one that we can find anywhere

(42:40):
in the world. Other cities are pretty bad, but they're
not as bad as that. That way you want to live.
The reporters of the world juvenile offenders and crimes against persons,
as they say, it's getting worse, not getting better. It's
getting worse. And we had a recent indication. There was

(43:07):
a story about a man who was just left. He
quit because he was asked to do phony numbers on crime.
And we're going to look into that. I think Pam
is going to be looking into that, but he was
asked by the city. I guess we don't want to
show the real numbers. Let me do numbers so it
looks like it's going down, not going down. And under

(43:29):
Biden it was a disaster and nobody did anything about it.
We're going to do things about it, like you wouldn't believe.
Every American is a constitutional right to be able to
access and petition their government in safety, and countless federal
officials and employees likewise have the right to carry out
their jobs in peace without being shot. As you know,

(43:50):
I lost a very good person a while ago, was
shot waiting for his wife. He was in the car.
They robbed his car, they shot him, They killed him
like it was nothing to it. She was walking to
the car. She was a horror show. This issue directly
impacts the functioning of the federal government and his threat

(44:10):
to America. Really, it's a threat to our country. We
have other cities also that are bad, very bad. You
look at Chicago, how bad it is. You look at
Los Angeles, how bad it is. We have other cities
that are very bad. New York has a problem, and
then you have, of course Baltimore and Oakland. We don't

(44:31):
even mention that anymore. They're so far gone. We're not
gonna let it happen. We're not gonna lose our cities
over this, and this will go further. We're starting very
strongly with DC and we're going to clean it up
real quick, very quickly, as they say. Days ago, former
member of the Doge staff was savagely beaten by a

(44:52):
band of roving thugs after defending a young woman from
an attempted carjacking. He was left dripping in bloody, but
he was dead with a broken nose and concussion. Can't
believe that he's alive. He can't believe it. In June,
a twenty one year old congressional intern was tragically killed
after being hit by a stray bullet and a drive

(45:14):
by shooting. A former Trump administration official named Mike Gill
Fantastic person, was murdered last year in cold blood in
a carjack in blocks away from the White House. We
all knew him, great person, waiting for his wife as
she was walking to the car. A Democrat congressman was

(45:38):
also carjacked at gunpoint not far from the Capitol. And
in twenty twenty three and ad to Senator Around Paul
was stabbed in the chest and head by a demented
lunatic as he walked down the street, just absolutely, for
no reason, horrifically. Last July fourth weekend, a three year

(45:58):
old girl was shot in the head and killed while
sitting in a car near the Capitol. It's becoming a
situation of complete and total lawlessness. And we're getting rid
of the slums too. We have slums here. We're getting
rid of them. I know it's not politically correct, you'll say, oh,
so terrible. No, we're getting rid of the slums where

(46:19):
they live. Caravans of mass youth rampage through city streets
at all times of the day. They are ATVs motorbikes,
they travel pretty well. Entire neighborhoods are now under emergency curfews,

(46:41):
just as past weekend gunfire through went through. And you
saw that the Navy yard. I saw it this morning.
They saw that. They fought back against See they fight
back until you knock the hell out of them because
it's the only language they understand. But they fought back
against law enforcement last night. And uh, They're not gonna

(47:02):
be fighting back long because I've instructed them and UH
told them, whatever happens. You know, they love to spit
in the face of the police, says The police are
standing up there in uniform. They're standing and they're screaming
at 'em an inch away from their face, and then
they start spitting in their face. And they said, you

(47:25):
tell them you spit and we hit, and they can
hit real hard. It's a disgusting thing. I've watched that
for years, For for three four years, I I've watched them.
The police are sten and they're told don't do anything
under any such so there's t and you can see
they want to get at it, and they're standing there

(47:47):
and people are spitting in their face and they're not
allowed to do anything, But now they are allowed to
do whatever the hell they want. This dire public safety
crisis stem is directly from the abject failures of the
city's local leadership. The radical left city Council adopted no
cash bail. By the way, every place in the country

(48:09):
you have no cash bail is a disaster. That's what
started the problem in New York and they don't change it.
They don't want to change it. That's what started it
in Chicago. I mean, bad politicians started it. Bad leadership
started it. But that was the one thing that's central.
No cash bail. Somebody murders somebody and they're out on
no cash bail before the day is out. We're going

(48:33):
to end that in Chicago. We're going to change the statute.
I spoke with Pam and Todd and everybody. We're going
to change the statue. And I'm going to have to
get the Republicans of oh because the Democrats are weak
on crime, totally weak on crime. They don't know why
they want to stop because they get mugged too. But

(48:54):
we're going to change no cash bail, We're going to
change the statute and get rid of some of the
other things. Will count on the Republicans in Congress and
send it to vote. We have the majority, so we'll vote.
We don't have a big majority, but we've gotten everything,
including the great, big, beautiful bill. Got that done and
that's one of the greatest things that's ever happened to
people in this country. They're starting to figure it out,

(49:17):
how good it is. Biggest tax cut in history, so
many things. But we'll be able to get that done.
So Todd, if you and Pam can draw up things,
working with the people, we will, I'll get it passed.
We'll get it passed with the Republicans probably won't think
of this, probably won't get one Democrat vote because they

(49:37):
have no idea what they're doing. That's why they want
men playing in women's sports, that's why they want transgender
for everybody, everybody transgender. And they've just got walloped in
an election, in a landslide, and they haven't changed one thing.
I saw the other day the certain gentlemen who were

(49:58):
very well known politician Demo was fighting like hell that
men should be allowed to play in women's sports. They
just don't get it. They said it's an eighty twenty issue,
and I think it's a ninety seven to three issue.
And I don't know who the three are. I've never
heard anybody come nobody's ever come up to me, sir,
you have to let men play in women's sports. You

(50:18):
have to do it, sir. Nobody's ever approached me. I
don't know where this issue even comes from, never seen
anything like it. But they turned our nation's capital into
a sanctuary jurisdiction. That's the other thing. We have to
get rid of sanctuary cities as quickly as possible. We're
going to do it too. We have to because it's
sanctuary for criminals, releasing illegal alien gang members onto the streets.

(50:40):
In twenty twenty two, nearly seventy percent of criminals arrested
in Washington went unprosecuted. That's not going to happen with
the group we have standing aside and standing behind me
and at the Metropolitan Police Department. It's now reached a
small number relatively compared to what it was, but it's

(51:02):
thousands of people. You know, we have thousands of police.
I was told today, sir, they want more police. I
heard a number three thousand, five hundred police. That's a
lot of police. Three thousand, five hundred. I thought they
were going to say, we only have thirty policemen or women.
He said, we have three thousand, five hundred. We need more.

(51:23):
You don't need more. That's so many. I've never heard.
That's like an army. How could you need more than
three thousand. It just happened two minutes ago, Sir, they've
requested more police. Oh, what do they have about three thousand,
five hundred? I said, three thousand, five hundred. This is
not a big area. It's ridiculous. What you need is

(51:47):
rules and regulations, and you need the right people to
implement them. And we have the right people here that
I can tell you. Look at the border. Biden said,
there's nothing you can do. Kamala as the borders are.
She never called to the border patrol agents, who are great,
Ice is great, never spoke to anybody, never went there,
but she as the borders are, and everybody said it

(52:09):
was impossible to fix. I fixed it in three months.
No really, I fixed it the first week, but really
fixed it over the last couple of months, and I
mean literally to a point where as I said, zero
illegals entering our country in the last ninety days, pretty amazing.

(52:30):
It's time for dramatic action. We're going to do the
same thing over here. It's going to be a very
safe city, very so we're not looking to just take years,
because a lot of people die in years. And we've
got incredible people in this country, except we have to
allow them to do their job, and that we will
deliver like nobody's ever delivered before. I actually think it's easy.

(52:55):
You know, if you're competent, it's easy. If you're incompetent,
it's impossible. But I'm very competent. Last week, my administration
serged five hundred federal agents into the district, including from
the FBI, ATF DEA, Park Police, the US Marshal Service,

(53:16):
the Secret Service, and the Department of Homeland Security. You
know a lot of nations they don't have anything like that.
They got some police, and they're rough police. They don't
have deaatf FBI, Park Police, the US Marshal Service, Secret Service,
Department Homeland Security. They got some police, but they're rough

(53:42):
police and they do their job. They don't have crime.
We're not gonna have crime either. They made dozens of arrests,
and that's what that's what starts to happen again, cashless bail.
Watch what we do with that today. Formally declaring a
public safety emergency. This is an emergency. This is a

(54:05):
tragic emergency. And it's embarrassing for me to be up here.
You know, I'm going to see Putin. I'm going to
Russia on Friday. I don't like being up here talking
about how unsafe and how dirty and disgusting this once
beautiful capital was with graffiti all over the walls. It's
another part of it, by the way, because we're talking

(54:27):
about safety, we're also talking about beautification. We're the most beautiful,
potentially capital in the world. We always had. But people
come from Iowa, they come from Indiana, they come and
then they get mugged. Not going to happen. Keep coming
because within by the time you get your trip set,
it's going to be safe again, and it's going to
be cleaned very quickly. We're going to replace the medians

(54:48):
that are falling down all over the roads. We're going
to replace the potholes. We're going to put a nice
new coat of asphalt over the top, knowing we don't
have to rip the road out and spend seven years
building a new road because they everything that because some
designers said, well we need a quarter of an inch
more turn for safety reasons. We're going to do it right.

(55:09):
We're going to get it done quickly. So today we're
declaring public safety emergency in the District of Columbia. Attorney
General Pam Bondi, who's fantastic, is taking command of the
Metropolitan Police Department as of this moment, and I'll be
making the appropriate notifications to Congress and to the mayor.

(55:32):
Our new dea administrator who's one of the top in
the country. He better be, Terry, if you're not going
to get rid of you so fast, Terry Cole Terry,
thanks very good. We just got him most highly recommended person.
And you'll be designated as the interim Federal Commissioner of
the Metropolitan Police Department. Okay, and you run them tough.

(55:56):
They're good. You have a lot of good people. You
have people that shouldn't be there. You also people that
shouldn't be there. They got in there because of woke.
But you have a lot of great police and those
people are the ones that want to help you. The
city will no longer be a sanctuary for illegal alien criminals.
We will have full, seamless, integrated cooperation at all levels

(56:17):
of law enforcement, and we'll deploy officers across the district
with an overwhelming presence. You'll have more police and you'll
be so happy because you'll be safe. When you walk
down the street, you're gonna see police or you're gonna
see FBI agents. Gonna have a lot of agents on
the streets, and you're going to have a lot of

(56:38):
essentially military, and we will bring in the military if
it's needed. By the way, we're gonna have National Guard.
But Pete Hegseath will tell you about it. We will
bring in the military if needed. People say, oh, that's
so terrible he's going to bring in It's spent many
times over the years. I don't think we'll need it.

(56:58):
I think we've got so many great people, including the
people that are in the police department. With proper leadership,
they'll immediately begin massive enforcement operations targeting known gangs, drug dealers,
and criminal networks to get them the hell off the street,
maybe get them out of the country because a lot
of them came into our country illegally. They shouldn't have
been allowed in. They come from Venezuela, they come from

(57:20):
all over the world. We're going to get them the
hell out. They won't be here long. But some of
these people, a lot of them are homegrown criminals. And
these are bad people. These are rough people. And this
is just a list of some of the people that
were given to me today that were criminals removed from
the DC streets this weekend. They were rough and tough,

(57:44):
but we're rougher and TOUGHERLEU. These people here nothing. You know,
they're not going to be your local school teacher. But
this guy, he has killed people numerous times. They're not
going to be an ass said, they will never be
an asset to society. I don't care. I know we
all want to say, oh, they're going to be rehabbed.

(58:05):
It's not going to be rehabbed. I'm going to ask
Doug Bergham to come up and say a couple of words,
because he's in charge. As you know, he's Interior, but
he's in charge of the US park Police. And I've
heard so many great things about the park Police. They're
proud of it. They've been there for a long time.
They have families oftentimes grow into the Royals. They love

(58:26):
the country, they love this area. So Doug, could you
say a few words, please.

Speaker 13 (58:31):
Thank you, mister President, on behalf of the US Park Police.
This is the oldest federal police force in the nation.
They were formed in seventeen ninety one by none other
than President George Washington. They've got the awesome responsibility of
protecting our nation's most sacred monuments in the National Mall,
Washington Monument, Jefferson Memorial, Lincoln Memorial, Statue of Liberty in

(58:54):
out West, the Presidio, and the Golden Gate area. These
folks have tens of millions of visitors a year, the
kind of people that President Trump's talking about that come
from around the country and around the world to see
our sacred and learn about our history and our sacred monuments.
They've been doing a fantastic job. But they are so
pleased the rank and file that President Trump is now

(59:15):
allowing them to enforce the law as those of you
that live in the city, and they know that the
circles and the triangle parks that are spread throughout DC
are actually federal park property. So the US Park Police
also have responsibility for that. These became littered with homeless
camps out of the Biden administration.

Speaker 5 (59:33):
All of you saw that.

Speaker 13 (59:35):
Since President Trump's executive order on March twenty seventh, making
DC Safe and beautiful again, the US Park Police have
removed over seventy homeless camps.

Speaker 5 (59:44):
And President Trump.

Speaker 13 (59:45):
Also talked about beautification. They're stopping and enforcing the laws
against graffiti on our monuments. They've removed over eighty specific
attacks against our history with graffiti on our monuments. So
they continue to do a great job, whether it's in
their vehicles, on foot, or on the mounted police that
you see around the National ball And President Trump, they
thank you. The rank and file is so happy to

(01:00:07):
be enforcing the log in and thank you for your leadership.
And they're excited about the announcement you're making today.

Speaker 5 (01:00:13):
Thank you very great job you do. Thank you very much.
Could you say something about the military.

Speaker 14 (01:00:20):
Well, Miss President's an honored to be here and at
your direction. This morning, we've mobilized the DC National Guard.
It'll be operationalized by the Secretary of the Army Dan Driscoll.

Speaker 5 (01:00:29):
Through the DC Guard.

Speaker 14 (01:00:31):
You will see them flowing into the streets of Washington
in the coming week at your direction as well, Sir,
there are other units we are prepared to bring in,
other National Guard units, other specialized units. They will be strong,
they will be tough, and they will stand with their
law enforcement partners.

Speaker 4 (01:00:47):
This is nothing new for god.

Speaker 14 (01:00:49):
As the President noted at the border, we've got ten
thousand troops down there who've been operating in defense cooperation areas,
defense zones where there's zero zero illegal crossings because of
troops on strikers scanning the border. We've been protecting other
people's borders for twenty years. It's about time we protect
our own. And we're working with ICE and CBP. In

(01:01:11):
Los Angeles, we did the same thing working with the
California National Guard, working with ICE officers.

Speaker 5 (01:01:17):
ICE officers deserve to.

Speaker 4 (01:01:18):
Do their job and not be attacked.

Speaker 14 (01:01:21):
We will work alongside all DC police and federal law
enforcement to ensure this city is safe. This city is beautiful,
and as I always say about President Trump to the troops,
he has their back. And my message to the National
Guard and law enforcement in Washington is we have your
back as well. Be tough, be strong, We're right behind you.

Speaker 5 (01:01:42):
Thank you. I'm gonna ask Pam because she is now,
as you heard me say, she's really in charge of
a lot of what we're talking about. She's done an
incredible job and people are going to start to see
the fruits of her labor. And Pam, maybe you could
say a few words about what we're talking about here.

Speaker 15 (01:02:03):
Let me be crystal clear. Crime in DC is ending
and ending today. We are going to use every power
we have to fight criminals here. President, thank you for
caring about our capital. Families come here every summer. Our
museums are free. We have the National Zoo, we have
the National Gallery. DC should be a place where everyone

(01:02:25):
can come and feel safe. Behind me and to my side.
We have some of the best career law enforcement and
prosecutors in the country who are ready to take this on.
As the President said, Terry Cole is going to be
supervising the Metro Police Department. Gaddi Serralta, our Us Marshall

(01:02:47):
is going to be supervising command and control the entire operation.
Our Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche and I will be
working with them closely, along with our great FBI Director
Cash Fattel. Cash is going to talk to you in
a minute about what we did in Virginia recently with
Governor Younkin. Many of you covered that and it was

(01:03:09):
tremendously successful. Not only that, our secret weapon here in
DC is US Attorney Janine Piro, one of the toughest
prosecutors and a former judge, and she is going to
be talking about juvenile crime, how it's out of control here,
and what she's going to do to fight back. No more,
no more crime rampant in our beautiful capital. No more

(01:03:35):
teenage girls beating a disabled man to death, no more
of that, no more dry buys. We're going to do
everything we can and working with the ATF, ATF Director
Driscoll and Commander of the Army, we're going to all
work together. That's what we all do in this room.
We work together, we fight. Do not underestimate one person

(01:03:58):
in this room. We are going to make DC beautiful.
We're going to make DC safe again. One other thing,
just at the wharf a few days ago the area
of the wharf, Terry Cole reached out to me, not
even nightfall on the weekend. We're so many families in Tourisco.
A guy's overdosing from fintenhol on a park bench in

(01:04:19):
the middle of families around. They administer narkhan and saved
his life. No more of that. The President of the
United States is going to clean up DC and we're
going to be there to help him, and we're going
to be successful.

Speaker 5 (01:04:32):
Thank you, Thank you Cash truth about Northern Virginia. Of you,
Northern Virginia, we had a big success. Thank you, mister President.

Speaker 16 (01:04:40):
Thank you, Turning General Bondi for your leadership, Deputy turned General,
the rest of our interagency partners. Mister President, The following is.

Speaker 4 (01:04:47):
What happens when you let good cops be cops.

Speaker 16 (01:04:49):
And I just want to highlight that before I get
into Northern Virginia. This year alone, under President Trump's administration,
we've had over four thousand child victims identified and found.
That's a thirty three percent increase for the same time
period last year, thirty three percent increase.

Speaker 5 (01:05:04):
We've had a seizure of.

Speaker 16 (01:05:05):
One thousand, five hundred kilograms of fentanyl this up to
this date. That is a twenty five percent increase since
the same time period last year. And just to put
it in perspective, on five hundred kilograms of fentanyl is
enough to kill one hundred and fifteen million Americans, one
hundred and fifteen million Americans. Cops are getting after it.
The FBI has arrested nineteen thousand people this year alone

(01:05:29):
thanks to President Trump's administrations. That's double than where we
were this time last year. And we have also arrested
one thousand, six hundred people who have committed violent acts
against children children two hundred and seventy of them are
human traffickers of children. Mister President, this is what happens
when you have great leadership at the Attorney General with Pambondi,

(01:05:52):
your administration's priority of protecting the homeland and protecting American
citizens and protecting our children, and the murder rates are plummeting.
We are now able to report that the murder rate,
it's on track to be the lowest in US history,
in modern recorded US history, thanks to this team behind
me in President Trump's priorities, and how do we do
it and what are we going to bring to DC.

(01:06:13):
What we did in Northern Virginia thanks to Terry Cole
and Governor Younkin and the team. We stood up a
task force out in my Northern Virginia Field office and
we said Let's let good cops be cops. Let's get
them the intelligence and what they need, and let's get
the red tape out of their way, and let's get
DOJ partnered up with us to bring great prosecutions.

Speaker 5 (01:06:29):
And that's exactly what we did.

Speaker 16 (01:06:31):
In one month, we arrested five hundred and forty five
violent felons, five hundred and forty five in the state
of Virginia thanks to Governor Youngkin's partnership. And that simplicity
in law enforcement is what's coming to Washington, d C.
When you let good cops be cops, when you give
them the intel they need, when you work with their
Homeland Security Task Force, when you work with Terry and

(01:06:51):
Gaddy and I go way back to Miami. These guys
are great leaders of the respective departments in law enforcement capacities,
and when you have the DOJ and presidents driving behind
this mission, we are going to clean up Washington, d C.
And we're going to do it the right way, the
lawful way, and we're going to make sure Washington, d
C is safe again. Thank you, mister President, Thank you Tourney, John.

Speaker 5 (01:07:14):
Thank you Cash. So the process begins right now. It
actually started over the weekend. We confronted a lot of
very bad people. But it's going to be something that
will be pretty amazing to you as you watch it,
and I think most of you say little it's a
beautiful thing to do it right. We're going to be

(01:07:36):
removing homeless in campings from all over our parks, our beautiful,
beautiful parks which now a lot of people can't walk on.
They'd be very, very dirty, very We've got a lot
of problems, but we've already started that. We're moving the
encampments away, trying to take care of people. Some of

(01:07:57):
those people we don't know how they even got there.
Some of those people are from different countries, different parts
of the world. Nobody knows who they are, They have
no idea, but they're there, getting rid of the people
from underpasses and public spaces from all over the city.
There are many places that they can go, and we're
going to help them as much as you can help.

(01:08:18):
But they'll not be allowed to turn our capital into
a wasteland for the world to see. The Metropolitan Police
Department and the federal authorities will be supported in the effort,
really big effort. The eight hundred DC National Guardsmen that
we'll put on and much more necessary, much more. You

(01:08:42):
Remember I said, are you offered ten thousand? Once? Remember
I said to a certain person, a person who I
thought always was highly overrated, not very competent. But I said,
if you need them, we'll give you ten thousand of
the military or the National Guard. They turned me down,
but if necessary, we're going to move service members directly

(01:09:04):
to joining the guardsmen. And that'll take place very rapidly.
And that'll be done in conjunction with Pam and with
Pete and everybody else. Washington, DC should be one of
the safest, cleanest and most beautiful cities anywhere in the world.
And we're gonna make it that. We're gonna make it safe,
we're gonna make it smart, we're going to make it beautiful,
so beautiful. Some of the buildings we're going to add

(01:09:27):
to it. You see what we've done at the White Houses.
White House is a whole different building. I do that
in my part time because it's a natural instinct as
a real estate person. I was very good at that,
and I was very good at fixing things up. I
like fixing things up. You see what's happening the marble
floors are being reinstalled, renovated, faxed. The whole place is

(01:09:47):
becoming very beautiful. We're going to be adding a magnificent ballroom,
most beautiful ballroom. I think anywhere we need it. I
would have certainly loved to have had it today. I
think we would have filled it up. A lot of
you are standing outside, can't get in this room. I
have never seen the room like this, which tells me
that you want to talk about I mean, this was
a DC news conference. It tells me that you want

(01:10:09):
to talk about crime in DC and beautification of DC.
But I'm going to put that that's easy, and I think, frankly,
fixing the crime with the pros, fixing the crime is
easy to a person who I've known for a long time,
and she's been incredible. She was a fantastic one of
the best ever district attorneys in New York. She was

(01:10:31):
in Westchester and she became a judge, very successful judge,
and then she went into Shopiz because she was such
a good DA and such a good judge. Tough judge,
but fair, always fair. Nobody ever complained about that, but
she was tough. And because of that and her reputation,
she went into showbiz, so a lot of people, don't
you know, they think of Janina's shopiz. Actually showbiz was

(01:10:54):
not her thing, and she did great. She was along
with a couple of other of my friends on the
Number one show and she did great. But this is
what she loves doing. This is really her baby. What
she's going to do is going to be incredible. And
i'd like to introduce to speak for just a few

(01:11:14):
seconds on what she has in mind, what she wants
to do. We're going to be appointing some judges. You know,
we have some open spots and we're going to take
people because the judges are letting killers out. They just say,
go it's okay, don't worry about it. So we're putting
some Pam recommended, Todd recommended some judges that are great.

(01:11:37):
Janine recommended. Janie's given me three great candidates. Already we've
about ten open spots, so we could probably create some more.
We need them. Janine, would you say a few words please.

Speaker 17 (01:11:49):
Thank you very much, mister President, and thank you Madam
Attorney General. And to all my partners here, we all
want the same thing. We all want a safe city.
We want to say capital, We want to be able
to bring our families here. We want to be able
to come and enjoy the history that makes this place great.

(01:12:09):
And unfortunately we are not in that position right now.
And mister President, I want to thank you for taking
the step that we need right now to make criminals
understand that they are not going to get away with
it anymore. And I'm not going to stand here and
go over and over the cases, but what I can tell.

Speaker 5 (01:12:29):
You is this.

Speaker 17 (01:12:30):
I see too much violent crime being committed by young
punks who think that they can get together in gangs
and crews and beat the hell out of you or
anyone else. They don't care where they are. They can
be in DuPont Circle, but they know that we can't
touch them. Why because the laws are weak. I can't

(01:12:51):
touch you. If you're fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen years old
and you have a gun. I convict someone of shooting
another person with an illegal gun on a public bus
in the chest, intent to kill.

Speaker 4 (01:13:06):
I convict him, and you know what.

Speaker 17 (01:13:07):
The judge gives him probation, says you should go to college.
We need to go after the DC Council and their
absurd laws. We need to get rid of this concept
of a no cash fail. We need to recognize that
the people who matter are the law abiding citizens. And
it starts today, but it's not going to end today

(01:13:30):
because the President is going to do everything we need
to do to make sure that these emboldened criminals understand
we see you, we're watching you, and we're going to
change the law to catch you. And my final note
is this, these kids understand that the jurisdiction is through
the state Attorney General Brian Schwab.

Speaker 5 (01:13:52):
I did a poster of the young.

Speaker 17 (01:13:54):
Man from Doge who was beaten bloody with a severe
concussion of broken nose, and then I did a poster
of what happens to those kids because I can't arrest them,
I can't prosecute them. They go to family court and
they get to do yoga and arts and crafts. Enough
it changes today. Thank you, mister President.

Speaker 5 (01:14:17):
You all right job, Thank you. If I could, I
just signed some executive orders. I'd like to have will
police come up and we'll let the people know what
we signed. Do you want to put them down? Yes, sir,
go ahead.

Speaker 18 (01:14:34):
A short while ago, in the Oval office, President Trump
signed two crucial executive actions to deal with the emergency
crime conditions we currently face in the District of Columbia.
The first of these was an executive order, as President
Trump said before invoking his powers under Section forty of
the Home Rule Act to take federal control of the
DC Metropolitan Police Department. Along with that executive order, President

(01:14:58):
Trump signed the staff juatorially required notification letters to Mayor
Bowser and to the relevant House and Senate committee leaders.
The second major executive action that President Trump signed was
a presidential memorandum directing the Secretary of Defense to utilize
the National Guard to address the conditions we see on

(01:15:19):
our streets here in DC. It also authorized the Secretary
of Defense to work with state governors to utilize their
National Guard units if necessary as well. These are bold,
decisive steps intended to combat the out of control crime
conditions we've seen on DC's streets for far too long,
and I, for one, am deeply proud to be part

(01:15:41):
of an administration that's finally coming to terms with these issues.

Speaker 19 (01:15:44):
Sir.

Speaker 5 (01:15:44):
Thank you, very sir, thank you. So. Just to conclude, Washington,
d C. Should be one of the safest, clint is
most beautiful places anywhere in the world. It was years ago.
We had one problem that was a pretty big problem.

(01:16:05):
The radical left got out of control and they started
trying to rip down statues. And I said, let's go
pass a law real fast. We're going to do it
real fast. But we were blocked by the Democrats who
do not want safety. Nobody gets it. I don't get it.
They don't get it because they can't get votes. I
don't know how they can win an election with this,

(01:16:26):
but they don't want safety. And I found an old statue,
very old, early nineteen hundreds that said, of you so
much as touch or even think about destroying a statue
or a monument in Washington, DC, you go to jail
for ten years with no probation, no anything. That was

(01:16:47):
slightly different than we have today today. We have cashless
mail there. You get jailed ten years, no curtailed sentence,
ten years. And we took it out. Nobody used it
was never used because you know, it's harsh. And you
remember they started to rip down the statue of Abraham Lincoln.

(01:17:08):
I said, that's a tough one to rip down. That's
the TEA was pretty good, Pam. I think he was
pretty good. When they when the ropes started going around
Abraham Lincoln to pull him down, Andrew Jackson, others, and
they were heading to the Jefferson Memorial. Thomas Jefferson, I'm
going to do big number there. I said it's time

(01:17:29):
and I signed that statue. Immediately. We had it updated.
We made it use the same language passed by Congress,
and I announced it's ten years in jail, no probation,
know anything, ten years, no curtail sentence if you touched
so much as touch a statue in Washington, DC. And

(01:17:54):
it was an amazing site, beautiful sight. Everybody just left.
The ropes were hanging around Andrew Jackson and there were
two ropes around Abraham Lincoln. They left the rope, but
everybody just left. I know, it was the last problem
we ever had. You know, that was the last problem
that we ever had with the statues. They were going

(01:18:15):
wild and we uh. Somebody came to me, he said, sir,
nineteen ten. I don't want to give you the exact
cause you'll say Donald Trump gave us wrong days around
like early on. You know, if I'm slightly off, they
make you sound a little bad, So I won't be.
I won't put myself in that position. I won't put

(01:18:35):
you in that position, because I think everybody agrees with
what we're doing today. But when I signed that thing,
it was like a miracle. Everybody left, they were gone,
They were starting to march down. They started the march
toward Thomas Jefferson, and I figured he was always going
to be safe. But they found something with him, and

(01:18:56):
they found something with Abraham Lincoln. And even in the
name George Washington and California, numerous places changed the name
of George Washington High School and various other places they
took George Washington's name. This was a sick, woke culture
that I think we've largely ended, and a lot of

(01:19:17):
those people that were woken now turning out to be
the opposite. I won't go so far as to say maga.
It's a very special category, but they've gotten out of that.
But we have we have people that love this country
and they love this this really beautiful capital it is.
I flew over it the other day and I say,

(01:19:38):
what a beautiful place. But if there's crime all over
the streets when you get there, it doesn't look so beautiful.
But we're going to make it beautiful again. We're going
to fix it with crime. And we're going to also
as we're doing that, we're going to start doing things
that we know how to do that I know how
to do better than anybody, I guess because of my
experience from previous life. But not only are we stopping

(01:20:00):
the crime, we're going to clean up the trash and
the graffiti and the grime and the dirt and the
broken marble panels and all of the things they've done
to hurt this city. And we're going to restore the
city back to the gleaming capital that everybody wants it
to be. It's gonna be something very special. All of

(01:20:22):
these people are really tough. Can I shake your hand, Getty? Please?
You're gonna be so important. You're gonna be You're gonna
be that guy. I hope I don't have to fire
him in two weeks because he's too soft. I don't
think he's too soft. If I do, I will, though,
Is it okay? If you're soft, weak and pathetic like
so many people, I will fire you so fast. You're

(01:20:45):
not gonna have to worry about that now. I think
you're gonna do a fantastic job. And everybody in this room,
they may not express it, but they all want that
to happen, you know, they want to be safe. And
they have families too, so it's an honor to have
such a large group. I've done this for years now,
hard to believe. I've never seen this room so packed.

(01:21:06):
In fact, I'm sure it's a violation of every fire code.
But we'll let you stay anyway. You take it a chance,
and with that we'll say, maybe if you could, Oh wow,
we could be here all day long, if you could,
if we could, if we could keep the first questions

(01:21:27):
perhaps to uh this subject, and then we'll go into
a few hours.

Speaker 20 (01:21:32):
Please, mister President, thank you so much.

Speaker 13 (01:21:34):
Can you talk about how personal of an issue this is.

Speaker 14 (01:21:37):
So we talked about flying over the Washington Monument and
seeing a.

Speaker 4 (01:21:40):
Pride of what DC is.

Speaker 5 (01:21:42):
Do you believe that the.

Speaker 20 (01:21:43):
Status of the city, the cleanliness, the way the crime
is low, is a direct reflection on how the country
is run at I do?

Speaker 5 (01:21:49):
I think the capital. Look, everyone comes here, they all
they're all coming, all the leaders, they're all wanting to come.
And I say it, I've said it again, but I'm
really quoting other leaders from NATO, from the Middle East,
King of Saudi Arabia Qatar uae I was over there.
We brought back five point one trillion dollars of investment

(01:22:11):
into our country. But I was a month and a
half ago. I was at NATO. We had a great thing.
Agreed to put up five percent instead of two percent.
Two percent. They didn't pay five percents already paid. We
had a great meeting and they all said the same thing.
They said our country was dead. They thought our country
was gone. One year ago. They said your country was dead.

(01:22:32):
And now you have the hottest country anywhere in the world.
We do. We have the hottest country in the world
right now. The tariffs have helped. It's given us not
only the money, it's billions trillions of dollars of money,
but it gives us great power over enemies. We saw
five wars with Pakistan and India, with we just solved

(01:22:52):
one as your Baijan. And as you know, in Armenia,
it was what was raging for thirty seven years. And
the two leaders got up and they said, we never
thought this would be solved. Russia tried to solve it.
They all tried to solve it. It was a very
tough situation, but we got it done and got it done.
And I said to the two men, I said, are

(01:23:14):
you guys friends? And that had a hard time. Yeah,
they've been killing each other for thirty seven years, right,
the one was there five years, one was there for
twenty two years. He said, my whole life, I've been
fighting this war and you got it solved. But we
did many of those we did in the Congo and Rwanda.
That's been going on for thirty years. Eight to nine

(01:23:36):
million people killed that they know of, but it was
raging and we got that solved. We got a lot
of them done. It's a great honor, but you want
to have when they come, the leaders come to our
country to sign documents that the war is over or whatever,
or for other reasons. They come for trade, and you
want them to come through so beautifully you ride down

(01:23:58):
those roads. Everything should be perfect. You shouldn't have medians
falling down into the roadway. Median you know the metal
things that are always somebody had a great, a great lobbyist,
because I've never seen them look good. I've been looking
at those things with a little grid. They're always broken bad,

(01:24:20):
but here they're really bad. And we're gonna either put
new or fix it, and it's not expensive. It's not
really expensive. And we're gonna fix our roads a little bit.
We're gonna clean up our sidewalks. You have countries where
every Saturday the people go out and they wash their
sidewalks in front of their stores, of their houses. They scrub,
they scrub their sidewalks. So we aren't quite at that

(01:24:43):
level yet. I don't think, Gaddy, we're not quite there yet,
but maybe we will. They go out and they scrub.
I think it's so beautiful to hear that and to
see those series. But we're gonna make it clean. But
just to finish with your question, it's a very s
very strong reflect of our country. And when they see

(01:25:04):
a bed city. You know, my father always used to
tell me I had a wonderful father, very smart, and
he used to say, son, when you walk into a
restaurant and you see a dirty front door, don't go
in because if the front door is dirty, the kitchens dirty. Also,
same thing with the capital. If our capital is dirty,

(01:25:27):
our whole country is dirty and they don't respect us.
So it's a very good question.

Speaker 21 (01:25:35):
Question for you on the specific issue, do you expect
more cities to follow DC's path if this goes through.
So the idea is that Chicago, La San Francisco would
they expect similar action what we've seen in DC. Any
other questions, sir, There is reporting that the administration is
going to reclassify marijuana. With that send mixed messages that
if marijuana is okay, drugs, some drugs are okay, but

(01:25:57):
we're trying to clean up crime.

Speaker 5 (01:25:58):
How do they go hand in hand. We're only looking
at that. That's early, but you know, somebody reported it,
which is fine. We're looking at it. Some people like it,
some people hate it. Some people hate the whole concept
of marijuana because if it does bad for the children,
it does bad for people that are older than children.
But we're looking at reclassification and we'll make a determination
over the next i would say, over the next few weeks,

(01:26:19):
and that determination, hopefully will be the right one. It's
very complicated subject is, you know, the subject of marijuana.
I've heard great things having to do with medical, and
I've had bad things having to do with just about
everything else but medical. And you know, for pain and
various things, I've heard some pretty good things, but for
other things, I've heard some pretty bad things. The other

(01:26:41):
part of your question, I mean, we're just going to
see what happens with it. All you're going to have.
We're gonna have a tremendous success in what we're doing.
Other cities are hopefully watching this. They're all watching, just
like everyone's watching here. They're all watching, and maybe they'll
self clean up and maybe the else self do this

(01:27:01):
and get rid of the cash list bail thing and
all of the things that caused the problem. I mean,
if you go back, this whole thing with cashless bail
is a disaster. So many problems came that we we
never had before. Uh So they're watching us today, and
if they don't learn their lesson, if they haven't studied
us properly, because we're gonna be very successful. I have

(01:27:22):
a zero doubt about that. It's gonna be saying. It's
a question of will be really fast. Like the border
and everyone said they used to say, by the uses,
I need legislation, I need. You didn't need. I didn't
get any legislation. I called up our people and we
did a great job. Tom Homan was great, as you know,

(01:27:43):
our secretary did a great job. They did a great job.
There's no games. They didn't play games, and we're gonna
have the same thing here. But then I'm gonna look
at New York in a little while. Let's do this,
let's do this together. Let's see. It's gonna go pretty quickly,
and if we need to, we're gonna do the same
thing in Chicago, which is a disaster. We have a

(01:28:03):
mayor there who's totally incompetent. He's an incompetent man, and
we have an incompetent governor there. Pritzker's an incompetent. His
family threw him out of the business and he ran
for governor. And now I understand he wants to be president,
but I noticed he lost a little Wait, so maybe
he has a chance. You know, you never know what happens.

(01:28:25):
But Pritsker is a gross incompetent guy, thrown out of
the family business. But when I look at Chicago and
I look at La, if we didn't go to La
three months ago, La would be burning like the part
that didn't burn. If he would have allowed the water
to come down, which I told him about in my

(01:28:46):
first term. I said, you're gonna have problems, let it
come down. We actually sent in our military to have
the water come down into La. They still didn't want
it to come down after the fires, but that was it.
We have a coming down, but hopefully LA is watching
that mayor. Also the city's burning. They lost like twenty
five thousand homes. I went there the day after the fire.

(01:29:08):
You were there, and I saw people standing in front
of a burned down home. It was their homes were incinerated.
They weren't like even the steel was literally it was
all warped and literally disintegrated because of the winds and
the flame and the whole thing like a blowtorch. They
were standing on this beautiful day, maybe a couple of

(01:29:28):
days after. We gave it a little time because what
they had suffered almost twenty five thousand homes, and you
see what's happening now. They didn't give their permits. I
went to a town hall meeting. I said, we're gonna
get you the federal permits, which are much harder. Almost immediately.
Liezelden is a star. He did an incredible job. They

(01:29:49):
have all their federal permits, they don't have their city permits.
And the mayor said to me, we think we could
have them in two years. I was walking down the
street and I met with firemen and police, and I
was saying a lot of many people that were standing
in front of their homes with yellow tape. You can't
go in, you can't go onto the lot. And those
people wanted to start rebuilding their homes then and there.

(01:30:12):
And the mayor said, we should be able to get
them the permits within two years. They said, that's a shame.
Two years, are you kidding? I'm going to get them
the federal permit like almost immediately two years. And she
brew it back, well, maybe one year the place was
booing or out of the place. They don't have their
permits to build their homes, and now they're talking about
putting This is among the most beautiful areas was in

(01:30:35):
the country. Now they're talking about putting low income housing there.
Can you believe this? I love low income housing. I
made money with low income housing. I built low income housing.
I know more about low income housing and luxury house.
I know about everything in real estate. They want to
replace some of those homes with low income housing. They
haven't gotten their permits yet. We've gotten all the federal permits,

(01:30:58):
which are much tougher to get. And it was done
almost immediately through Lee's Elden and Federal Environmental and I
watched the other day those people are angry, and now
you know, they had tremendous They loved that area. They
loved the whole big area, different places, but they loved it.
It was all luxury stuff and beautiful stuff, and some
wasn't that luxury, but the level of love for that neighborhood,

(01:31:21):
their neighborhoods was incredible. And you know what, I watched
people on television. They want to go, they want to leave.
They've lost their spirit, they've lost their heart because the
mayor's incompetent, and Gavin Newscombe is incompetent. Got a good
line of bullshit, but that's about it. He's incompetent. And
you have the Los Angeles is. You know, it's amazing.

(01:31:43):
You know, I called the first thing I did, I
got the Olympics to go there. I was the one
that got it, and by a rare thing that happened,
I'll be the president. I was very upset because I
got the Olympics there, and I said I won't be
president when it comes. But bad things happened, and illegal
things happened, really illegal things happen. Now. It turns out.
One good thing is I'm going to be the president

(01:32:03):
for the Olympics for twenty fifty, for two hundred and fifty,
which is going to be fantastic, and also for the
World Cup. So we have a lot of good things,
and I hope two hundred and fifty is going to
be two hundred and fiftieth anniversary is going to be
the best. But when I looked at those people, and
I saw last night on television that they still don't
have their permits, it's a disgrace. What's happened to us?

(01:32:29):
Thank you.

Speaker 4 (01:32:30):
The China tariff deadline is tonight, but do you plan
to extend that.

Speaker 5 (01:32:34):
We'll see what happens. China's been We've been dealing very
nicely with China. As you probably have heard. They have
tremendous tariffs that they're paying to the United States of America,
and we'll see what happens. They've been dealing quite nicely.
The relationship is very good with President, with President she
and myself. You mentioned upbringing with President Yeah, tell us

(01:32:59):
what you to get out of that, whether you consider
inviting Presidents Lanski to join them. So you have done
sand there's a war that should have never happened. There's
a war that wouldn't have happened if I were president,
would have never happened. Wasn't it was the apple of
his eye. Got along very well with President Putin. But
if you look under President Bush, they took a lot

(01:33:20):
of territory. Under President Obama, they took a lot of territory.
Under Biden, they essentially took the whole thing. You know,
it's just a question of time. Under Trump, you know what,
they took nothing. Nothing. I was the one that said
you can't build your pipeline that was half built. I
came in. I stopped the pipelines cat called Nordstream two.

(01:33:42):
Nobody knows it. You know, nobody ever heard of Nordstream too.
You might have not even heard it. Biggest pipeline in
the world. I stopped it. I was not a friend
of Russia, but I got along well with Putin. It's
always good to get along with other countries are possible,
but that doesn't mean you roll over like Biden did.
Biden came in and he immediately approved the pipeline. I
couldn't believe it. Then they said Trump wasn't tough for Russia.

(01:34:04):
I wasn't tough. I was the toughest. Putin said, if
you're not tough, I would hate like hell deceivers. I
stopped the biggest economic development job, the biggest job that
Russia had ever built. I stopped it. It was dead.
And this low iq president came in and he let
them build the pipeline and supply oil and gas all

(01:34:24):
over Europe. You know. So this is really a feel
out meeting a little bit, and President Putin invited me
to get involved. He wants to get involved. I think
I believe he wants to get it over with now.
I've said that a few times, and I've been disappointed
because I'd have like a great call with him, and
then missiles would be lobbed in Takiev for some other place,

(01:34:47):
and you'd have sixty people laying on a road dying.
I said, that's cold. That's cold, but it's a violent
or five to seven thousand people a week of dying,
and you know, there's nobody from here. They're all Russian
and Ukrainian people and some people from the city's much
smaller number. But still those missiles do damage and they

(01:35:10):
kill a lot of people, but mostly soldiers and the
young soldiers, although in the case of Ukraine they're getting
much older. They're drafting sixty year olds. Now. It's a
terrible thing to witness. And I think I have an obligation. Look,
this is Joe Biden's war. This is not my war.
I made a deal with NATO a month ago. You

(01:35:32):
covered it very accurately. Actually, we don't pay anything anymore.
You know, we're not paying anything. They are buying things
from US, and NATO is paying us. I got it
raised from two percent of GDP to five percent, and
they're paying us for everything that we send. We're not paying.
But Biden approved three hundred and fifty billion dollars. Europe

(01:35:52):
has spent one hundred billion. The money that's been spent,
and the death is incredible. It's the worst thing that's
happened by are the worst that's happened since World War Two.
So I'm going in to speak to Vladimir Putin and
I'm gonna be telling him you gotta end this war.
You got to end it. And he wasn't gonna mess

(01:36:13):
with me. This war would have never happened. You know,
we had a discussion about it one time, and we
never had that discussion again, would have never happened. And
when the election was rigged and then Biden took office,
which was barely took office, the auto pen took office,
bad things started happening, bad things, stupid things were said,

(01:36:33):
and it ended up in a war. And you know
the big and I don't believe this will happen anymore
because I have that pretty well covered. This could end
up in a Third World war. This could have been
a Third World I don't think that's gonna happen now.
But I thought it was very respectful that the president
of Russia is coming to our country as opposed to

(01:36:55):
us going to his country or even a third third
party place. But I think we'll have constructive conversations then
after that meeting, immediately, maybe as I'm flying out, maybe
as I'm leaving the room, I'll be calling the European leaders.
So I get along with very well, and you know,
I have a great relationship I think with all of them,

(01:37:19):
and I get along with Zelenski, but you know, I
disagree with what he's done, very severely disagree. This is
a war that should have never happened, wouldn't have happened.
But I'll be speaking to Zelenski. The next meeting will
be with Zelenski and Putin or Zelenskin put In to me.
I'll be there if they need, but I want to
have a meeting set up between the two leaders. I

(01:37:40):
was a little bothered by the fact that Zelensky was saying, well,
I have to get constitutional approved. I mean, he's got
approval to go into war and kill everybody, but he
needs approval to do a land swap because there'll be
some land swapping going on. I know that through Russia
and through conversations with everybody, to the good for the

(01:38:00):
good of Ukraine, good stuff, not bad stuff, also some
bad stuff for both. It's good and there's bad. But
it's very complex because you have lines that are very uneven,
and there'll be some swapping. There'll be some changes in land.
And the word that they will use is you know,
they make changes. We're going to change the lines, the

(01:38:22):
battle lines. Russia's occupied a big portion of Ukraine. They've
occupied some very prime territory. We're going to try and
get some of that territory back for Ukraine. But they've
taken some very prime territory. They've taken largely ocean. You know,
in real estate we call it ocean front property. That's
always the most valuable property. If you're in a lake,

(01:38:42):
a river, or an ocean, it's always the best property. Well, Ukraine,
a lot of people don't know that Ukraine was largely
one thousand miles of ocean that's gone other than one
small area Odessa. It's a small area. There's just a
little bit water left. So I'm going to go and

(01:39:03):
see the parameters. Now I may leave and say good luck,
and that'll be the end. I may say this is
not going to be settled. I mean, there are those
that believe that Putin wanted all of Ukraine. I happen
to be one of them. By the way, I think
if a warrant for me, he would not be even
talking to anybody else right now. But I'm gonna meet

(01:39:23):
with him. We're gonna see what the parameters are, and
then going to call up President Zelenski and the European
leaders right after the meeting, and I'm gonna tell them
what kind of a deal. I'm not going to make
a deal. It's not up to me to make a deal.
I think a deal should be made for both. I
think Russia has to get back into building their country.
It's a massive country. I think they have eleven time zones,

(01:39:46):
if you can believe it, it's a massive it's by far
from the standpoint of land, it's by far the largest.
They have tremendous potential in Russia to do well. They're
not doing well. Their economy is not doing well right
now because it's been very well disturbed by This doesn't help.
When the President of the United States tells their largest
or second largest oil buyer that we're putting a fifty

(01:40:09):
percent tariff on you if you buy oil from Russia.
That was a big blow. And then they say, gee,
he wasn't so tough. Nobody else would have done that.
And I haven't stopped there. I mean, look, I was
all set to do things far bigger than that. But
I got a call that they'd like to meet, and
I'm going to see what they want to meet. I'd

(01:40:29):
like to see a cease fire. I'd like to see
the best deal that could be made for both parties.
You know, it takes two to tango, right, So ultimately
I'll have a meeting next week. I had a great
relationship with him, considering the fact that. You know, I
was not nice to him because of the pipeline. I
ended the pipeline. I also gave the javelins. Do you

(01:40:52):
ever hear of a javelin. Javelin is called a tankbuster.
They say that Obama gave them sheets, and I gave
them javelins. If weren't for me, all those tanks that
were destroyed at the first days of the war, because
the tanks got stuck in the mud, some commander made
a better stay. You know, they would have been they
would have been in Kiev in four hours going down

(01:41:16):
the highway, but a Russian general made a brilliant decision
to go through the farmland instead, and they just had
torrential rains and the rains were so bad and it
was mud, and those tanks got stuck in the mud.
I don't know who that general is, but knowing Vladimir,
he's probably not around any longer because all those tanks
were stuck in the mud and they went along with
the javelins I got. I gave him the javelins, you

(01:41:39):
know that, right. I gave them javelins. They gave them sheets.
But I'm gonna I'm gonna meet with President Putin and
we're going to see what he has in mind, and
if it's a fair deal, I'll reveal it to the
European Union leaders and to the NATO leaders, and also
to presidents of Linza. I think out of respect, I'll

(01:42:01):
call him first and then i'll call them after. And
I may say lots of luck, keep fighting, or I
may say we can make a deal. I will tell
you this, I've seen a Paul coming out of Ukraine.
Eighty eight percent of the people would like to see
a deal made. And if you go back three years,

(01:42:23):
everybody was gung ho for war. You know, everybody's gung
ho for war until you have it. It's an amazing thing.
I had it with a couple of countries where I
couldn't get a deal done with one particular country, and
I just couldn't. A guy's great, he's a friend of mine, great,
good leader, tough as hell. I couldn't get the deal done.
And then he went into war for a short period

(01:42:44):
of time you know where I'm talking about, first term,
and it was nasty, guys being killed all over the place.
And he went through one week of war and I
was able to get the deal done. He said this,
is nasty. Yes, please follow on what you were saying.

Speaker 4 (01:43:00):
First of all, Flordidamir Zelinski is not invited on Friday.

Speaker 5 (01:43:04):
He wasn't a part of it. I would say he
could go, but he's gone to a lot of meetings.
You know, he's been there for three and a half years.
Nothing happened. I mean, do you want somebody that's been
doing this for three and a half years, what's the
definition of a good deal. I'll tell you after I
hear what the deal is, because there could be many definitions.
You know, you're talking about a very large and complex situation.

(01:43:26):
I tell you the war that I just settled with
iSER Baijan and with as you know, in Armenia was
almost as complex as this one, having to do with routes. Meet. Well,
we're gonna have a meeting with Vladimir Putin, and at
the end of that meeting, probably in the first two minutes,
I'll know exactly whether or not a deal can be

(01:43:49):
because that's what I do. I make deals. Please go ahead,
thank you.

Speaker 20 (01:43:55):
I'm gonna ask you two questions, one about China, one
about Russia. If I could. On China, administration agreed to
send the most advanced or advanced in Nvidia and AMD chip.
No obsolete, No, obsoleteon well and then fifty percent problem
in the twenties.

Speaker 5 (01:44:10):
No, No, that's this is an old chip that China
already has. And I deal with Jensen, who's a great guy,
and the video the chip that we're talking about, the
H twenty, it's it's an old chip. China already has
it in a different form, different name, but they have it,

(01:44:35):
or they have a combination of two will make up
for it. And even then, so now Jensen also has
Jensen's a very brilliant guy. And Jensen also has a
new chip, the Blackwell. Do you know what the Blackwell is?
The Blackwell is super duper advanced. I wouldn't make a
deal with that, although it's possible. I'd make a deal

(01:44:55):
a somewhat in angst in a negative way. Blackwell, in
other words, take thirty percent to fifty percent off of it.
But that's the latest of the greatest in the world.
Nobody has it. They won't have it for five years.
But the Age twenty is obsolete, you know, it's one
of those things, but it still has a market. So

(01:45:16):
I said, listen, I want twenty percent if I'm going
to prove this for you, for the country, for our country,
for the US, I don't want it myself. You know.
Every time I say, like like seven forty seven, I want,
I want yeah, for the air force. So I just
want to So when I say I want twenty, I
want for the country. I only care about the country.

(01:45:36):
I don't care about myself. And he said, would you
make it fifteen? So we negotiate a little deal. So
he's selling an essentially old chip that Huawei has a
similar chip, a chip that does the same thing. And
I said, good if I'm going to give it to you,

(01:45:56):
because they have a you know, they have a stopper
what we call a stopper not allowed to do it
restricted is trually known as a restrictive covenant. And I said,
if I'm going to do that, I want you to
pay us as a country something because I'm giving you
a release. I released them only from the age twenty
now on the blackwell. I think he's coming to see

(01:46:18):
me again about that. But that will be a unenhanced
version of the big one. Like I don't know if
you know it. We will sometimes sell fighter jets to
a country and will give them twenty percent less than
we have. Do you know what I mean?

Speaker 19 (01:46:35):
Right?

Speaker 20 (01:46:40):
Do you see a time, mister President, when there could
be normal trade between the US and Russia? Should your
meaning go?

Speaker 5 (01:46:45):
Well, should there be peace? I do Russia has a
very valuable piece of land. If Vladimir Putin would go
toward business, in seat it toward war. You know, it's
a warring nation. That's what they do. They fight a
lot of wars. A friend of mine said, Russia's tough
because they just keep on fighting. They beat Hitler, so
did we, and they beat Napoleon. You know, they've been

(01:47:08):
doing this for a long time. I asked a question
to a very very smart man that some people like
and some people don't like. Victor orbon Right from Hungary,
the head of Hungary, and he's in that same area
and knows the two countries very well. I said, this

(01:47:28):
was before Biden didn't do anything to get us out
of it. He could have gotten out of that, it
would have never happened. I said, so, can Russia be
beaten by Ukraine? He looked at me like, what a
stupid question? He said, Russia is a massive country, and

(01:47:50):
they win their country, and they win their life through wars.
They fight wars. That's what they do. He said, China
beat you with trade, Russia beats you with war. It
was a very interesting statement. China's not beating us with trey,
not when I'm in charge. But they were beaten Biden
with tray, but they never beat us with tred. Don't

(01:48:10):
forget China had to pay four hundred billion dollars worth
of tariffs when I was last time. That was last time.
And if we didn't have COVID, all of this stuff
would already we would be loaded. You know, we're finding
hundreds of billions of dollars of cash is pouring into
our country now because of tariffs. And all we're doing
is we're doing what they do to us. It's so

(01:48:34):
beautiful to see it. They find. They found last month,
as you saw, twenty five billion dollars of excess cash flow.
They're saying, where did it come from. I said, I'll
tell you where it came from. It came from a
place called tariffs. And we're doing very well, We're really
doing well. But I expect to have a meeting with
putin that I think it'll be good, but it might

(01:48:57):
be bad. And I have. Hey, I'm here for one
reason to get rid of the war that somebody else
started should have never happened, and if I could end it,
great complex war, a lot of a lot of bad blood,
a lot of bad blood. But Zelensky's been there for
three and a half years. So if you put them

(01:49:19):
in a room now, I will say this. Ultimately, I'm
going to put the two of them in a room.
I'll be there or I won't be there, and I
think it'll get solved. Yeah, please be excuse me. I'm
going to suggest it because could you Do you have
any other questions on DC? Because I don't want them.

(01:49:42):
I don't want them to be wait wait, wait are
these are incredible people. I don't want them to be
standing up here on subjects. Does anybody have a question
of them? And then and then you guys can lead
a question, Brian. All right, and by the way, this

(01:50:04):
is only in DC. And then they're gonna leave because
it's unfair to have them stand up here all day long. Brian,
I've got two questions for you.

Speaker 2 (01:50:12):
First about DC.

Speaker 5 (01:50:14):
This is personal for me as well.

Speaker 19 (01:50:15):
Last year I was robbed on the streets by one
of these teenage thugs, had a gun, got.

Speaker 5 (01:50:23):
Away with it.

Speaker 13 (01:50:24):
Let's talk about the effort that between law enforcement, prosecutors
and judges, because it's a you know, recycling beltic.

Speaker 5 (01:50:32):
These kids go. They don't fear the police.

Speaker 19 (01:50:34):
They know if you talk about how we've got to
get these judges and put these kids behind bar. All right,
adult crimes deserve adult penalties. And my second question, I'll
after you answer that pleason to answer whoever it was?

Speaker 21 (01:50:48):
Okay, Okay, it's real.

Speaker 16 (01:50:50):
Do you want me to answer it?

Speaker 17 (01:50:51):
Right, here's the problem. Assuming that there's seventeen years older
than seven ten years old, I can get the case.
If they're under eighteen years of age, I can only
get the case if it's.

Speaker 5 (01:51:06):
Murder, rob one rape.

Speaker 17 (01:51:09):
Even if they shoot a gun but don't kill you,
I can't get it. So the law has to be changed,
as the President said, causel's failed.

Speaker 5 (01:51:16):
That has to be changed.

Speaker 9 (01:51:18):
All right.

Speaker 17 (01:51:18):
Then, even assuming I get the case, I get jurisdiction,
I get a conviction. The DC Council is given the
judges the ability to give probation on shootings, and so
then it's up to them all of these things. The
youth thre rehabilitation Incarceration Reduction Act. And now they want
to seal records. So if we work hard, we get
a conviction, they.

Speaker 4 (01:51:39):
Want to wipe it out.

Speaker 17 (01:51:40):
So that needs all to be changed.

Speaker 5 (01:51:42):
Okay, would you answer that?

Speaker 15 (01:51:46):
Yeah, and just back to that topic.

Speaker 4 (01:51:49):
Let's be clear, though, we're.

Speaker 15 (01:51:51):
Going to charge them, and we're going to track every
single thing they do throughout every step of the court
process and report back to you and let all of
you know what's happening to them, because the people who
are prosecuting them, the judges who are trying them, they
also need to be held accountable.

Speaker 5 (01:52:09):
This is the most people we've ever seen in this break.
I've never seen it ever, Right, I've never seen Anywhere's Caroline?
Where's my superstar Carolina? Where's Caroline? Come here? Carolina, Come America,

(01:52:31):
Come here? Is she doing a good job? By the way, Comerica?
Is this? Is this the largest crowd with that you've
ever seen?

Speaker 15 (01:52:39):
This is definitely the most packed briefing and I think
all of you would agree.

Speaker 19 (01:52:42):
I think it's why we need to build a ballroom. Yeah,
question is this you're building the big beautiful ballroom.

Speaker 5 (01:52:55):
Could we build a big beautiful briefing room?

Speaker 19 (01:52:59):
Technology seats. I don't want to do that.

Speaker 5 (01:53:02):
I don't want you to be comfortable. So now I
don't want to make I don't want to make life comfortable.
So look, look, look let's just do this. Let's do this.
It's going to be a big thing. We're going to Russia.
That's going to be a big deal. What happens happens.

(01:53:23):
I'll let you know what happens. You'll be the first
to know. I'll be calling the European leaders. I'm going
with totally. I mean, we have we have a lot
of talks. They're great people, they're great leaders actually, and
they want to get back. Honestly, as one of them said,
I've ow deed on trying to settle Ukraine. They've odeed,
meaning they've overdosed on the settlement of Ukraine. Not a

(01:53:45):
nice expression, but boy is that accurate. They're tired of it.
They want to get back to spending money in their countries.
You know, they're in we're in. Biden gave them three
hundred and fifty billion dollars. Europe gave one hundred billion.
It should be much more than that. Shouldn't have been
that kind of they should have had equalization. But they didn't,

(01:54:05):
but you know what's still a lot of money. They
want to get back to building their own countries. They
really want it resolved. My relationship with the European leaders,
as you saw, is extremely good. Like it's it's perfect,
it's beautiful. Wait wait wait, wait, and we're going to try.
I'll be in touch with them. I have five of

(01:54:26):
them call me and you think it's easy, a lot
of European leaders, but they rely on me very much,
rely on me. If it wasn't for me, this thing
would never get solved until the last person breathing is dead.
I'm talking to them right now. So I'm talking to
the European leaders. I'll be talking to President Zelenska. I'm
going to get everybody's ideas. I go into that thing

(01:54:48):
fully loaded right up there, and we're going to see
what happens. Now. I think one of two things is
going to happen. It could be a good meeting, and
we'll go a step further. We'll get it done. I'd
like to see a cease far. I are very very quickly,
very quick. I'd like to see it immediately, but I'd
like to see it very quickly. And we're going to
be dealing with the European leaders, and we're going to

(01:55:09):
be dealing with President Zelensky and hopefully we're going to
have a great success as far as this what we
did today. And I think you were here for DC
more so than even Russia, because Russia will be you know,
we have a couple of days to go, but the
Russia is going to be very interesting. But to me
what is very exciting. And we're going to take back

(01:55:30):
our capital. We're going to make it beautiful again, but
we're going to make it more importantly safe again. It's
going to be so safe, it's going to be a model.
And then we'll look at other cities also. But other
cities are studying what we're doing, and you have some
capable people in other cities. They can do it too.
But we have a great group of professionals. We're going
to have a safe, beautiful capital and it's going to

(01:55:52):
happen very quickly. Thank you all, Thank you over.

Speaker 4 (01:56:00):
Yeah, extreme decision today is the president?

Speaker 15 (01:56:05):
How long will this hank over?

Speaker 19 (01:56:09):
Carol?

Speaker 15 (01:56:09):
We'll see you guys tomorrow. We'll have another president.

Speaker 2 (01:56:11):
We'll see the national guard on this Okay, welcome back.
I gotta tell you.

Speaker 1 (01:56:17):
We could play that in its entirety again, and uh,
it'd be absolutely incredible. I think that's what we all
voted for President and I states announcing that they're taking
direct control of the nation's capital. They're gonna be National Guard,
maybe some army units. And as I said at the beginning,
it's a template for going.

Speaker 2 (01:56:37):
Forward for other for other cities.
