Trump Drops the Hammer on the Capital

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Good morning, Cooner. Contrary. Okay, my friends, we knew it
was coming. In fact, we kind of talked about it
on this show already and over the weekend. The violence,
the out of control crime spree, there's just no other
way to describe it. The carjackings, the murders, the beatings,

(00:25):
the roving bands, the roving mobs of fourteen, fifteen, sixteen
year old teenagers who are just like out of a
Hollywood movie, attacking people for no reason, shooting places up,
a plundering, looting stores. Finally, the President said, enough is enough.

(00:49):
This is the nation's capital, This is the seat of
American government. This should be a place of safety, of beauty,
of order, a place where people from all over the
country and the world come to visit. And instead it
has now become a third world hell. Escape no more.

(01:13):
The Democrat City Council of Washington has failed. The DC
City Council is a joke. The Mayor of DC, MARYL. Bowser,
is a joke. And now the federal government is taking over.
So Trump yesterday declared a public emergency to the shock

(01:35):
and horror of the media, to the shock and horror
of the Democrats, in which he now said that the
Washington Metropolitan Police Department would now come under the full
control of the federal government, with Attorney General Pambondi having
ultimate control, ultimate authority. So now the DC Police must

(02:01):
answer to the DOJ and to Pambondi in particular. But
it's not just now that the police are going to
be forced to make arrests and execute search warrants to
clean up the streets. Trump also announced a massive surge
of National Guard troops. Eight hundred troops are now going

(02:24):
to be infused onto the streets of DC, in particular
in the most dangerous neighborhoods. And not only that, so
you're gonna have troops on the ground, you're gonna have
the DC Police now making arrests. Also, homeless encampments are
now finally gonna be eliminated. They're gonna be pushed out

(02:47):
of the city. The site of drug addicts, zombies, people urinating,
defecating on the sidewalk, tense cities everywhere over. Washington is
going to look like a proper capital again. Listen now

(03:08):
to President Trump saying I've heard enough, I've seen enough.
We are now going to take action. And so under
the Home Rule Act, the DC Home Rule Act. The
President invoked his legal, legitimate authority to take the police

(03:30):
department under his control and to also order the National
Guard to be deployed to the streets. Now there's going
to be a real war on crime, and Trump is
vowing a decisive, quick victory. World cut one, Mike.

Speaker 2 (03:53):
We're here for a very serious purpose, very serious purpose.
Something's out of control, but we're going to put it
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

(04:13):
Liberation Day in DC, and we're going to 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.

Speaker 1 (04:28):
Columbia Home Rule Act.

Speaker 2 (04:29):
You know what that is, and placing the DC Metropolitan
Police Department under direct federal control. And you'll be meeting
the people that will be directly involved with that.

Speaker 1 (04:41):
Amen. Amen, I'm telling you, amen. Amen. Honestly, what took
you so long and the look and really the final
straw was the savage beating of Edward Korestein aka Big Balls,
a former Doge staffer, a nineteen year old young man

(05:04):
who was beaten savagely, senselessly, almost an inch within his life,
as he tried to protect his girlfriend from what was
it ten or twelve roving teenage thugs again, a band
of thugs who just wanted to carjacker, want the carjacker

(05:25):
car and potentially could have raped her and assaulted her.
And so he went to her rescue. He shoved her
into the car, made sure that she was safe, and
then they beat him black and blue. And that's what
happened with Big Balls. And Trump said and looked at

(05:45):
this and said, how the hell this was two miles
by the way, two miles from the White House, literally
two miles from the White House. And Trump said, listen,
this can't happen. This cannot go on much longer. You
had a congressional intern twenty one years old, just a
couple of weeks ago, in the evening, walking after finishing
his work on Capitol Hill, shot dead, the victim of

(06:10):
crossfire from gang warfare. You had over the weekend, this weekend,
over one hundred thugs, one hundred criminal thugs, go onto
the streets. There was some kind of a turf war
in which there was a machine gun fire, gun fire,

(06:32):
bedlam where spray bullets everywhere. People had to be sent
to the hospital. People ended up dead. And by the way,
most of the victims are African Americans, that this is
something the media could deliberately continues to omit and leave out.

(06:52):
The majority of the victims of this out of control
crime in DC are African Americans and in the African
American communities in the black neighborhoods in DC. This move
by Trump is incredibly popular. Children as young as three
are being murdered or killed in the crossfire of gang warfare.

(07:17):
They cannot walk the streets at night. Their neighborhoods are terrorized.
They're infected with drugs, homelessness, needles on the ground, you
name it, drug dealing, extortion. It goes off. The pharmacies
in DC. Good luck finding one now, because all they

(07:39):
do is loot them. You see videos now, they just
come in like a pack, a pack of animals, ten, fifteen,
twenty of them, and they just clean the place out.
Pharmacy after pharmacy after pharmacy. It's getting to the point
now that you can't even have a business in Washington, DC.
And this is the nation's capital. As Trump, you know,

(08:02):
eloquently put it yesterday, we have people coming from Indiana
and Iowa, people coming from as far away as Utah
and Washington State, Maine, Florida. They're here to see the monuments,
They're here to see the White House, They're here to
see the capital, Capitol Hill, and they're they're fearful of
getting shot dead at two o'clock in the afternoon in

(08:25):
broad daylight. The most heartbreaking part of yesterday's presentation, at
least for me. You may disagree. I'm just giving you
my honest, my honest feedback on this. He showed a
chart comparing the per capita murder rate the crime rate

(08:50):
of Washington, d C. Our capital to capitals around the world.
And I'm not talking about Berlin or Paris, London, or
Stockholm or Ottawa or what. No. Baghdad, Lima, Peru, Bogata, Colombia,

(09:13):
Mexico City. And if you looked at the charts, Baghdad
is twice as safe as Washington, DC. Baghdad, Bogata, Columbia.
We're all basically their national export is cocaine where the
country is run by drug warlords. Colombia Bogataw is safer

(09:37):
than Washington DC. Mexico City, run by the drug cartels
with rampant violence and blackmail and kidnapping and extortion, is
safer than Washington DC. And then you hear this idiot,

(09:59):
Hillary Clinton, and she's the one that started this on
social media, and all these leftists and liberals they just
start mindlessly regurgitating what she said. She goes on about
how dare Trump do this? Crime rate is at a
thirty year low in Washington. Day say this is a

(10:20):
power grab. He's a dictator. He just wants to put
the troops on the streets. A thirty year low from
an unacceptable high. There were nearly two hundred murders in
Washington DC in twenty twenty four. That's the last available

(10:43):
statistics that we have. Now. Is it lower than the
four hundred murders the year before? Yes, but so what
It's still two hundred murders. Six one, seven, sixty eight,
sixty eight is the number. Okay, audience is on fire.

(11:05):
I mean we're barely twenty minutes into the show and
the audience is already clicking on all cylinders. This is
from Mary Anne in Florida and as usual, dynamite. Jeff,
do you want to know why the crime rate in
DC is quote unquote lower or that it shows that

(11:25):
it's lower, it's because they've stopped reporting on what was
really going on. When they're not reporting on what's really happening,
of course, the crime rate gets lower. Bingo. You nailed at,
Mary Anne. In fact, it's a huge scandal within the
Washington Metropolitan Police Department. One of their top commanders just

(11:50):
got fired for cooking the books, literally from manipulating and
distorting the statistics to make it seem that crime was
my uch lower than it really is. And his defense,
I swear to you, and this is coming straight from
the mayor, that loser incompetent mayor. Oh no, he was

(12:12):
just following orders from other people in the police department.
In other words, he was No, don't blame him for
falsifying the statistics and the data. No, no, no, no,
he was doing it under orders from people above him. Well,
I don't care whether he was doing it from people
above him or not. The fact of the matter is

(12:34):
when they say that crime is at a thirty year low.
They're lying when they say that the homicide rate is low,
they're lying that the murder rate is low. They're lying.
And even even if you accept their premise, which I don't,
but just for the sake of argument, Okay, you know,

(12:57):
a thirty year low from an unac acceptable high, it's
still unacceptable. So I really don't care. Like it's the
stupidest argument I've ever heard. So what we're supposed to
tolerate people getting beaten, senseless, being shot dead on the street. Members,

(13:18):
as Trump pointed out yesterday, ask members of Congress, and
these were Democrats, not Republicans. Henry Quaar, congressman from Texas,
a Democrat, got carjacked, just was just a couple of
years ago. He's lucky to be alive. You have other
members of Congress who say, no, we've been mugged, we've

(13:40):
been beaten, we've been assaulted staffers up on Capitol Hill.
And I'm not just talking about big balls or that
poor intern that was shot dead. Many of them beaten, accosted,
mugged in elevators. They're petrified to walk the streets. So

(14:01):
the reality of crime that everyday people have to live
with in Washington in DC is very different than what
the elite liberal media and people like Hillary Rotten Clinton
are claiming. Again, go to the black neighborhoods and the
black communities. This is overwhelmingly popular. Dave, our Western PA

(14:27):
constitutionalist correspondent, made a very good point. He messaged me saying, Jeff,
the mayor of DC is a liberal mayor, Muriel Bowser.
And if you see a pattern, Jeff, everywhere liberals take
power in cities, they run them into the ground. Chicago,

(14:50):
New York, Boston, Atlanta, d C. Obviously Los Angeles, San
francisc Go. It's it's city after city after city after city.
Whenever the Libs take over, Look what happens. It starts

(15:11):
to resemble a third world toilet, you know, as Trump
famously called it. I can't say it a third world
crap hole. But if you want the checkmate argument, here
it is. And this is what they can't refute. This,
that's why they have to keep going. It's a thirty
year low. It's a thirty year low. It's a thirty

(15:32):
year low. Right, listen now to Trump the murder rate. Now,
this is remember the seat of American government, This is
our capital city. People from all over the world come
to our capital. Leaders, diplomats, statesmen, business people, tourists, you

(15:59):
name it. This is our face to the world. To
be honest. It should be our cleanest city, our safest city,
our most beautiful city. Instead listen to this roll cut two, Mike.

Speaker 2 (16:19):
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 the worst place is on
earth much higher. This is much higher. The number of
carthfs has doubled over the past five years, and the

(16:40):
number of kar jackins 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.

Speaker 1 (16:53):
Can't be worse.

Speaker 2 (16:54):
Our capital city has been overtaken by violent gangs and
bloodthirsty criminals, roving mobs of wild youth, drugged out maniacs,
and homeless people.

Speaker 1 (17:04):
And we're not gonna let it happen anymore. We're not
gonna take it. He's completely right, And the videos don't lie,
the images don't lie. The constant reports. Don't lie. Listen now,
this to me is just it's a this is a
damning chart. Trump rolled out this chart and he said,

(17:27):
I'm comparing us now, not to Berlin, not to Paris,
not to London, not to Helsinki, not to Warsaw, but
to Baghdad, Bogata, and Mexico City. Roll cut to way, Mike.

Speaker 2 (17:44):
When you say, take a look at numbers. I just
saw some charts. These are different cities throughout the world.

Speaker 1 (17:51):
Red is okay, the red is place.

Speaker 2 (17:56):
Go to Washington, DC. Look at these.

Speaker 1 (18:00):
Baghdad is.

Speaker 2 (18:03):
We doubled up on Baghdad, Panama City, Brasilia, San Jose,
Costa Rica, Bogata, Columbia, heavy drugs, Mexico City. I mentioned Lima, Peru,
all double and triple what they So do you want

(18:24):
to live in places like that?

Speaker 1 (18:28):
In in Bogata, Colombia, which exports cocaine. It's I mean
just riddled, riddled with gang violence, okay, and these drug
warlords average per capita murder rate in Bogata fifteen a
fifteen point four, in Washington, DC twenty seven point two. Okay,

(18:54):
let me ask all of you. Really it to me,
this is the clearly the question of the hour. Do
you support Trump's decision to federalize the Metropolitan Police Department
of Washington, d C. It's now the police. It's about
three thousand, almost five hundred police officers. I had no

(19:16):
idea they had that many police. That's an army, you know,
as Trump rightly said yesterday, my god, three thousand, five
hundred cops, and you have this kind of crime that
that's you could almost take over a country with three thousand,
five hundred you know, troops, in this case law enforcement.

(19:37):
So it's now they're all going to be under the
control ultimately of Attorney General Pambondi. They're now going to
be given orders to make arrests, to go after the
gang bangers, to go after drugs, to go after carjackings,
to throw the book at them. On top of that,
Trump is now ordering eight hundred National Guard troops. He's

(20:01):
going to surge National Guard troops boots on the ground
in DC to supplement the local police. It is going
to be an all out war on crime. Trump says,
give me a couple of weeks and you will see
a dramatically different city. Do you support Trump's decision and

(20:24):
would you like for him to do it to other
cities as well, because I'm going to get to this
a little bit later. He's now saying, when I'm done
with DC, I'm not stopping at DC. He singled out
New York, Chicago, and LA and frankly, I would put
Boston in Atlanta on that list as well. There's other cities.

(20:46):
I say, you know what, Please come to my neighborhood,
come to my city. We need you here too. So
do you support what Trump is doing? And do you
want to see something like this happened to say Boston
or whatever city you're near to, other big cities like
New York or Chicago or LA. And what do you

(21:09):
make of the argument that Trump is behaving like a dictator,
that this is a power grab, and that now he
is putting his soldiers on the streets in order to
cement his and consolidate. I swear to you this is
the argument they're making his dictatorship. Six one seven two

(21:32):
six six sixty eight sixty eight is the number. Okay,
let me just read one more text, and I want
to go to the phone lines. You can text the
cooner man seven zero four seven zero seven zero four
seven zero Jeff If the President of El Salvador, naib Bukele,

(21:54):
can clean up this very same problem from the entire
country of El Salvador and take it from the most
dangerous country in the world to now one of the
safest in just a few years by taking a hard
hand against crime and gang violence, then President Trump can

(22:15):
do the same thing and get the same result with
just one city in a matter of weeks. Then let
it serve as an example to all other violent cities
in America as to just how quickly and effectively it
can be done. And don't forget just how hard it
is to obtain a concealed carry permit to protect yourself

(22:39):
with a legal firearm in DC. It's next to impossible.
That's a great point. It's bad enough that you have
this out of control crime and these roving bands and
mobs of thugs and gangbangers. But good luck getting a
conceal and carry license. Good luck getting you know, having

(23:01):
the ability to have a gun to protect yourself and
your family. No, that's why the Left is freaking out
because they've been electing soft on crime district attorneys, all
of it funded by George Sorows from Boston to New
York to Chicago, to Seattle, to San Francisco to LA

(23:23):
and it's led to a massive crime epidemic. And if
Trump can clean up Washington, d C. In two to
three weeks, it's going to show the entire country, Oh
my god, we've been suffering like this and living under
siege because of bad policy. And all it takes is

(23:45):
some will and some action and some determination and guts
and we don't have to live in a killing zone ourselves.
It will be a damning indictment of Democrat mayors and
blue cities all across the country. And that's why they're

(24:06):
going apoplectic, because again they see their grip on power
slipping away. Agree, disagree six one seven two six six
sixty eight sixty eight. John in Lowell, you're going to
kick us off. John, thanks for holding and.

Speaker 3 (24:24):
Welcome a new name, tenfoil. Put your hat on, Jeff.
This isn't just a top crime think about it. He
started this with Los Angeles as a testing ground. Okay, yeah,
they went off on it a little bit, but then
it quieted down. Now it's Washington. He's talking about Chicago,

(24:47):
he's talking about other Democrat cities. Jeff, he's prepping the field.
He's putting the pawns in place, so when there's mass
arrest and these morons go off, he can shut him down.

Speaker 4 (25:02):
Oh.

Speaker 1 (25:02):
Interesting, So you're saying that if they start to revolt,
if you start to see them, you know, take it
to the streets to try to stop Trump or block
Trump's agenda. He's going to have all the pieces in
place for mass arrests, and basically he's he's countering Antifa

(25:23):
and Black Lives Matter before they even have a chance
to mobilize.

Speaker 3 (25:28):
Correct, the mass arrests are going to be of the politicians.

Speaker 1 (25:34):
Oh and the politicians. Oh so you think you think
he's you think we are going to see mass arrests
of politicians and deep state criminals, John, And.

Speaker 3 (25:47):
Then he's got the pieces in place for when they
try to go off.

Speaker 1 (25:52):
I hope you're right. I really really hope you're right.
I hope Trump really is playing three D chests this time,
because I agree with you. Look, if you start making
arrests of you know, powerful people like Obama or Biden
or Hillary or Clapper or Brennan or call me, we

(26:14):
know what the Democratic look they're going. Look what they're
threatening now over five seats in Texas redistricting. If they're
going crazy over five seats, now, what are they going
to do when people actually start going to jail? So
you're right, they could be ready to arrest the politicians,
and these troops could be ready then to handle with

(26:35):
the backlash. And that's look to me, we have to
get ready for the inevitable. I don't believe the left
wants Trump to finish his entire term. They are petrified
that he will complete his second term because every day
they're losing power every day, every day they're getting weaker.

(26:58):
He's beating them to the punch every day, and you
could tell they're on the verge of revolt. So, John,
I really hope you're right to me. But it's even
beyond that. To me, it's the principle of the matter.
You cannot have our capital city be overrun by roaming

(27:19):
gangs of thugs and gang bangers. Really fourteen fifteen sixteen
year old kids, punks who are going around terrorizing people,
shooting people, maaming people, and some of them you got there,
I mean they are stoned. They're like, they're like insane
zombies and they're just walking the streets. Many of them naked,

(27:42):
I'm not kidding, exposing themselves and then just randomly attacking people,
terrorizing people. You can't have that in any city, but
certainly not in the nation's capital. Six one seven two six,
six sixty eight six is the number. Okay, my friends.
When I say the left is going berserk, I mean

(28:06):
they are losing their minds over Trump's decision to federalize
the Metropolitan Police Department, put it under federal control, and
to deploy about eight hundred National Guard troops to crack
down on crime. They are now saying, I kid you not,
this is the beginning here, it is now. This is
the beginning of the Trump dictatorship. It's come here, it

(28:29):
is now. This is the Reichstag fire. According to them.
So you have Chuck Schumer's former policy eight. I want
you to listen to this. This clown, Chuck Schumer's former
policy eight. Yesterday went on Fox and here's and here

(28:49):
is exactly what he said that anyone who lives in Washington,
d C or works in Washington, d C. Who doesn't
feel safe should quote unquote leave their fears someplace else.
If people are afraid to come to DC, go to

(29:09):
Disney World, Get Fat, eat French Fries. I have lived
here for thirty seven years. I am not afraid. I
live in the city. I'm not afraid. Yeah, because you've
got security. That's why you're not afraid. He's the head
of some think tank now in some pro Democrat think

(29:33):
tank in Washington, d c oh. I guarantee you you
live in a gated community and you've got security. So yeah, sure,
if I lived in a gated community and I had security,
I wouldn't be afraid either. But most people don't have
that luxury. You phony, you fraud you six one seven

(29:53):
two six six sixty eight sixty eight him in New Hampshire.
Thanks for holding Cam and welcome.

Speaker 5 (30:05):
My husband. Well, we we've been down to d c
and a number of times over the years, and we
were just down there in March for the the mall,
the all the Smithsonian stuff, and I was surprised that
the Holocaust means they have actually had secret service like

(30:30):
for part part of their security, and it actually seemed
like they had. We had been there when they first opened,
and they had a gazillion artifacts, like real stuff. Now
a lot of it's all like reproduction stuff, not not
not the actual stuff, which but what what what's all?

(30:53):
I mean? I know it's not murder and stuff, but
have you you have you ever been down there, to
the down to the Smithsonian area.

Speaker 1 (31:04):
Well, I worked in Washington, d C. For over a decade.
This was from about two thousand almost to twenty twelve,
and then I decided to come up here to Boston.
So I know that area extremely well. We still have
a home there, a town home that we use as
a rental property, and we're going to hopefully pay it

(31:25):
down and that's going to be the college nest egg
for our children. We're going to sell the home and
hopefully it'll pay most, if not all, of Ashton and
Davia's tuition. At least that's our financial plan. So we
have a property down there. We visit occasionally. We still
have a lot of friends. I know that area extremely well, Kim,

(31:46):
And look, I can tell you they're lying. I know
they're lying. I was in down I used to go
to downtown DC almost every day. You know they're saying
this is a thirty year low. That's a lie. I
was there during the Bush presidency both terms. I was
there during most of Obama's first term. You go to
Union Station. When I went, there were no homeless encampments.

(32:10):
It was safe. You get out of Union Station, you
could go straight up to Capitol Hill. It's about a
ten minute walk. Now you get mugged. Now you're lucky
if you don't get shot. Forget parking your car anywhere
near that area gets carjacked. And I'm not talking about
all the homeless tents and the drug addicts and the

(32:31):
shooting up on the street and people defecating and people
urinating and constantly being accosted and again people being punched, assaulted, mugged.
It's right there. It's been well documented. So when they
say this is a thirty year low, I know they're lying.
People that I know that live in the city. You know,
when I left in twenty twelve, they stayed and they

(32:54):
said it's never been it's never been worse to go
the last couple of years of Biden and now into
this year they go the homicide murder rate is out
of control. And the scariest thing is and this you
did not see in DC when I was there. You know,
what is it fifteen years ago? You didn't see this

(33:14):
roving bands of thugs as Janine Piro put it, they're
young punks, they're fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, and they're like a mob,
a flash mob. They just there's ten, twelve, fifteen of them,
and they just literally they they roam the streets. They
owned the streets, and they'll attack anyone at will. They'll

(33:38):
rob a store and at will. They'll carjacke at will,
they'll shoot at will, they'll you know, mame, assault at will.
And that's what happened to Big Balls. He had finished
a date with his girlfriend. He was going towards his car,
she was going towards her car, and there was about
ten or twelve of these thugs, you know whatever, fifteen

(34:02):
sixteen years old, with the gold chains and the whole
you know, the pants down to the you know, to
their butt cracks. And then suddenly they just turned and said, no,
we're gonna go carjack this young woman's car and maybe
raper or beat her or assault her. And they just
it's like a wildfire that just changes direction and they

(34:24):
start to head towards her. They just randomly picked her,
and so he rushed across the street to protect his girlfriend.
He knew if they went into the car, they'd smash
the car, pull them both out, and either probably assault
or kill him. So he pushed his girlfriend into the car,
told her to lock the door, and then tried to

(34:47):
protect her as they beat him and beat him and
beat him and beat him and beat him. Now he'd
be dead today, he'd be dead if it wasn't for
somebody across the street in an apartment wherever, a bystander
with who called nine to one one the police came.
The moment the police came, all of these thugs like
a bunch of you know, vultures, like like jackals. They

(35:10):
just they just ran away, they fled. But you can
see the pictures of Edward Chuorstein's nineteen year old kid.
His eyes, his face is completely smashed in, his nose
is broken, he's got two black eyes. He's on the ground.
They beat him into an inch within his life. Everybody says,

(35:33):
a couple more minutes, this is a dead kid, literally
for nothing, for nothing. So this did not happen in Washington,
DC when I was there ten, you know, fifteenth, twenty
years ago. I'm not saying there weren't murders. There were.
I'm not saying there weren't carjackings. There were but these

(35:55):
roving bands of just you know, gangs and thug and
if they did commit these kinds of crimes, it was
in the known bad areas of DC. This is now
two miles from the White House. This is where the
tourists are. This is you know, the best places in

(36:17):
d C. So that means crime is all over the city.
It's out of control. And just to wrap it up,
I'm gonna come right back to you, Kim. The police
were told by the DC City Council and these are
all Marxist, communist whack jobs. I mean, really, I'm talking about.

(36:38):
Think of a city council run by Zoron Mamdani, Michelle
Wu and AOC. You don't get crazier than these people.
The police are told you can't make arrests. The police
are told stand down. The police are told even when
they spit in your face, literally you do not. We're

(37:02):
not in the arresting business. And if they do get arrested,
say for shooting somebody in the face, they're tried as juveniles,
in which they're given rehabilitation and they're told to do
yoga and arts and crafts. And this is not an
exaggeration that's what they're that's their punishment. I put punishment

(37:25):
in air quotes. They're told, no, do arts and crafts
and do some yoga, and after six months you're rehabilitated
and go back on the street. They laugh at the police,
they laugh at authority, they laugh at law enforcement. Well,
now they're not gonna laugh when they start. When word

(37:46):
gets out you know what, You carjacked, you're going to jail.
You assault someone, you're going to jail. You deal drugs,
you're going to jail. And if you shoot, kill or
maim someone, you're going to go to jail for a
long time. Trust me, Kim, you will see a change

(38:07):
in weeks. Suddenly it's going to be okay. You can
walk downtown d C at eight nine o'clock at night.
Suddenly you can go out for a drink, meet your
friends at a bar, or go out to a restaurant.
But now, this is Bogata, Columbia. This is Mexico City.

(38:32):
And as Trump asked everybody in the room, would you
want to live in Mexico City, I wouldn't. Would you
want to live in Bogata, I wouldn't. Would you want
to live in Baghdad? I wouldn't we have the murder
rate now in our capital that is higher than any
of these cities. Washington, d C. Is a third world

(38:54):
hell hole. And that's all because of that crazy Moonbat
mayor and that crazy Moonbat City Council cam. Final word
to you, maybe they.

Speaker 5 (39:08):
Can get rid of those little fake monk guys that
come up to you and that with those neat little bracelets.
But that they and they do like a prayer with you,
and then so they give you the bracelet and then
you go to walk away. Oh no, that that that
that costs money. Donation like that's always gone on right

(39:29):
down by the monument, the and the American History Museum
and that little little spot. You always get hit up
by those little monk guys like they're like in a sheet,
you know, the what Tibetan monks. But I've heard they're
they're not real. They don't really offer it like that.

Speaker 1 (39:48):
No, No, it's a scam. No, you're right, you know
it's a complete scam. And you're just being accosted, you're
just being harassed. And look, people don't realize how much
money these museums take in. And I don't mean this
in a bad way, in a good way. Tourists. Come. Look,
I'm telling you Washington d C. As some of the
finest museums in the world. You know, most people don't

(40:10):
know that because people are afraid to go to DC.
But you go to Washington, d C. I'm not saying
in the country in the world. I know, foreigners have
told me. Europeans have told me, yeah, we got great
museums in Europe. But man, some of the museums you
have here in Washington, d C. Rivals anything we have. Now,

(40:31):
as Trump said, this is for our country. These museums
are here as a treasurer American history museums, Smithsonian you
can go. I mean, I'm telling you you want to study.
We have one of the best dinosaur museums in Washington, DC.
Kids love it. It's a great learning experience. Science museum.

(40:53):
We are some of the finest science museums in the
world in Washington, d C. I've been to one. I've
been to most of them. There's a spy museum. I
highly it's a little bit more on the side. It's
not quite as prominent as the others. You want to
learn about espionage, it is a it's really fun. The
kids are gonna love it. But it's it's very educational.

(41:18):
We have incredible museum art museums. We have one of
the finest art museums in the world. And yet you
talk to these directors of these museums and they go, no,
attendance is way down. Well, why is attendance way down?
Tourists aren't coming. Why aren't tourists coming because they're petrified,
because they don't want to get shot on the street,

(41:38):
or they don't want to get mugged, or especially if
they drive, they come in and they they take everything.
They take the hub caps, they take the tires, they
take the whole car. They just leave. You know, you
come back and you go that they took everything. They
took the engine. All they left is the body of
the car. They strip it down, or they just steal

(42:01):
the whole thing. They just car jacket and off they go.
I mean, who wants to you know, I don't nobody.
So people avoid Washington, DC. And then if you do
stay there, and what people do is it's you only
go in the middle of the day. You avoid being
out at night. And even in the middle of the day,
they're always harassing you. They're accosting you. They're badgering you.

(42:24):
They always want something. They're always You're like, I don't
need this. This is not enjoyable. Look, I'm telling you
Trump is right. He said, you go to Germany, you
go to France, you go to Britain, you go to Italy.
You think the Italian police allow you to accost tourists

(42:46):
on the streets of Rome, as you know, tourists are
taking pictures at the coliseum or you know whatever. You
think you can just go there and spit in their
face and steal their money and persecute him and mugam
or you get not just do you get arrested. I
mean they you know, with the baton, they beat the

(43:06):
hell out of you. Like, no, man, you don't do that.
You mean just I could go on and on and
you know, and Trump said, look, you know, he runs down,
he goes. We've got the f he goes. We don't
just have three thousan five hundred police officers, which is
an army. We've got the FBI, We've got the DEA,

(43:27):
We've got the Department of Homeland Security, We've got Secret Service,
we've got the US Marshals. In other words, we've got
agency after agency of federal law enforcement, and they're still
getting away with all this, he says, But you go
to any major European capital and he goes and he
calls him rough police, and he's right, they just have

(43:51):
police and they're rough. You know, you're loitering in Berlin,
especially near one of these nice sites or statues or
monuments or museums, and you're accosting people of Berlin or tourists.
You got to see how the Berlin police treat them.
They give them one warning and after that they grab

(44:11):
them and if they got to rough them up, they
rough them up and they throw them at what we
would call the paddy wagon. Out out get lost. We're
the only ones because of that idiotic this DC City
Council not all. They have a right to be there. No,
they have a right to harass you. No, they have

(44:33):
a right to set up a homeless encampment wherever they want,
right in front of the museum, another union station, in
front of the White House, right next to the Capitol.
And they're all on drugs or their schizophrenic, they're mentally ill.
So you have mentally, violently mentally ill people, many of them,

(44:56):
you know, on heroin or god knows what, they're on
meth with their eyes bulging out of their skull, and
you'll be attacked at any second. That's why people are
just they're terrified. They're literally terrified to walk the streets.

Speaker 4 (45:14):
Now.

Speaker 1 (45:15):
And Trump is looking around and saying this is unacceptable,
and he's the dictator. It's disgusting. Honestly, Kim is disgusting. Kim,
thank you very much for that call, Arthur and Chestnut Hill,
thanks for holding Arthur and welcome.

Speaker 4 (45:33):
Well. You know, a nation that doesn't have abide by
its laws is a nation that doesn't exist, and it
isn't going to exist. And this just didn't happen overnight.
In the last sixty years, we've turned around and we've
turned our cities over to people who have no right
to be mayors and who turn around and they don't

(45:53):
represent people. I've said to you many many times on
the air, and I've said this over and over again,
and I say it to you because you have two children.
You are not safe anywhere period. Every day you look
at it, you see people and and uh and and
see the such tragedy of decent, wonderful people who are

(46:19):
accosted by these thugs. And and you you're leaving out
something when you're describing these flash mobs and these gangs. Okay,
you saw a description of what they look like with
that Cincinnati brawl and the violence that they put forth.
They're all black, black, black, black, And what do we have.

(46:40):
We have black black mayors who don't want to prosecute
these people. They've cooked the books and they've allowed this
to happen. And like you said, just like that mayor
in Baltimore when they were rioting over Freddie Gray and
destroying the city and looting, uh stuff, the rawlings. That's

(47:01):
the first time I heard a maya say that the
police stand down. They're only exercising their right to a
free speech. Well, these people and all these cities they
cooked the books too. And you had a call the
last week, Uh, a black gentleman who told the truth.
But we leave out the black pot where we describe

(47:23):
all these thugs and flash mobs and and the violence,
and where does it come from. It's a you know,
for for people like my family and your family who
came to America for the privilege to come to America. Uh.
We we appreciated America. These people don't appreciate America. They're

(47:44):
they're they're despicable. The reason a hell deep enough for
what they've done to this country. And the mayors are
just as bad as they are because that's who they represent.
They don't represent the decent people of America anymore. Nobody
represents them. And nothing's a change in the in uh
in Washington in two or three weeks. So you arrest
these people, nothing happens to him anyway. That's why they

(48:07):
continue to do it over and over again, to get
away with crime after crime after crime, and and and
how violent these climes are, and whey where does it?
Where does it come from? And and how are we
allowed this? Will I'll tell you how we've allowed it
because we took away the police is, the police departments,

(48:30):
and the police of this country the right to be policemen.
You know, if you turn around and the way back
when when I came to America, before they had all
these probable cause and all these rights that would help criminals.
If a police officer thought something seemed suspicious, he could
do something about it. But today he can't because he

(48:52):
needs probable cause. Even though somebody may be doing you know,
when molesting or raping children, or committing a crime, he
can't do anything until he gets a warm and he
can't go in there and maybe maybe save somebody, because
the police don't don't uh that they show up after
a cline, They don't prevent crime. They only you know, uh.

Speaker 1 (49:17):
No, you're completely right, Arthur, You're absolutely right. They have
so tied the hands of the police that and this
was also Trump's point yesterday that they've neutered the police.
