Speaker 1 (00:00):
Donald Trump's that he's going out tonight. He's going out
with police personally patrolling the streets in Washington, d C.
Part of a crackdown, of course, on crime in the
capitol of the President. That will be joining officers from
the Metropolitan Police Department what she took into federal control
last week. National Guard troops will also be with them,

(00:22):
doing a ride along to see what they're actually doing
out there. Move follows in August tenth executive order that
he signed that federalized local police activated eight hundred DC
National Guard troops. Now here's where it gets amusing, because
you've heard so much press, so much media, so much
lip trapped about well, he shouldn't be doing that, and

(00:47):
the federal troops we don't need, we don't need this
churn did the mayor has said stuff, the Democrat politicians
have said stuff about Trump shouldn't be federalizing. Well, she's DC. Okay.
And here's the thing now, now, instead of he shouldn't be,
it's but he's sending him to the wrong places we

(01:09):
need him. Oh my gosh, are you kidding me? Question
why troops have been sent to Union Station. JD Vans,
vice president insisted its crime rate was actually extremely high.
Demonstrator's boo jeered and shouted obscenities at JD who was
a company He done the visit by Defense Secretary Pete

(01:29):
Haigseth and Stephen Miller, Deputy White House Chief of Staff.
You have vagrants, you have drug addicts, you have homeless,
you have mentally ill who harassed, who threatened violence, who
attack families, and they've done it for a long time,
he told reporters. The move's we've met with resistance from
some local residents. Last week, a Justice Department employee was
charged with assault after hurling a subway sandwich at a

(01:52):
member of the Drug Enforcement Agency. I mean, if you're
gonna be stupid enough to throw something at a federal officer,
why is samwich? Because you could eat that. That's a
You know how much subway costs these days, probably even
more in DC.

Speaker 2 (02:08):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (02:08):
I don't eat it, but a thrown a subway sandwich
out of federal officers wrong, I don't want.

Speaker 1 (02:13):
To be right. Oh shut up? So anyway, Yeah, now
they're getting criticized not because the troops are there, not
because of the federalization of the DC police, but because well, okay,
they're there, but they're not sending them to the right areas.
Donald Trump will be on patrol tonight with the DC Police.
Another Trump win here. New York Court Court throughout five

(02:35):
hundred million dollar fraud ruling against Trump after blockbuster lawsuit
from Latitia James last year. The Verdict of Manhattan found
that Trump and his co defendants in the Trump Ordering
State Court Organization had illegally enriched themselves by defrauding bank
banks and investors as part of a decade long scheme
to secure favorable financing terms for some of his brand

(02:57):
building properties. Here's the deal. The banks, Deutsche Bank among them.
The banks said they agreed with the valuations of the
properties that he was leveraging to get money. The banks
said they agreed to the terms of the loan. Everybody
signed off. The banks said he paid back everything in

(03:19):
a timely fashion, and they were very happy with the
business they had done with Donald Trump and the Trump Organization.
Latsia James said, you're underrest. Really, everybody in the scheme
of things said it was as it was supposed to be.
Nobody got defrauded, nobody, nothing but Latsia James wanted Donald Trump.

(03:42):
So they found a way to get a conviction. And
in five hundred million dollars was the civil fine levied
against the president. And the court today said, yeah, no,
not so much, not so much. After a bench warranted
our bench trial in civil court, Trump, his companies, and
his trust were ordered to pay the state more than
three hundred and fifty four million dollars the total disgorgement.

(04:07):
Never heard that owed back to the estate among all
the defendants' money that's effectively forfeited as ill gotten gains.
So they were just basically trying to break in. Didn't work.
Court said, we're throwing this verdict own and back to
the DC stats. This is where it gets good, as
far as I'm concerned, this is where it gets really good. Washington, DC,

(04:31):
the week before Donald Trump federalizes the DC police versus
the week after Donald Trump federalizes. Have you seen these
statuetzet I haven't seen him enough. Robbery down forty six percent,
assault with the deadly or dangerous weapon down six percent,

(04:53):
carjackings down eighty three percent. Car thefts, which is like
the national pastime in DC, down twenty one percent. Violent
crime overall down twenty two percent. Property crime down six percent.
All crimes combine average out to a eight percent dropping

(05:15):
crime in Washington, d C. From that week versus the
other week. Don't tell me it's not working. Don't tell
me it's not working. This is our nation's capital. It's
not a city, it's not a state, it's a district.

(05:36):
It exists simply because our federal government is there. If
the federal government wasn't there, or there'd be no Washington, DC.
It'd be part of Virginia. To say that the president
is out of his realm federalizing the police department or
bringing in federal troops to police the streets is ridiculous.

(06:00):
To say that it won't work has just been proven wrong.
Those statistics I just quoted to you came from the
Washington d C. Police Union. There you go, union and
Washington neither one of his favorable words toward the Trump administration.
So you know they're not sugarcoating anything. Washington DC Police Union.

(06:27):
I think this is great news, not just for Donald Trump,
but for Washington DC and for America. It shows that active,
zealous law enforcement can make a difference quick, fast, and
in a hurry. A two, one, nine and eighty six
A two one WTV and is my number? Are you
surprised by these statistics? First of all? And you know,
as far as you're concerned, good news or bad news?

(06:49):
Will you're on six ten double UTV.

Speaker 4 (06:51):
And Hi, hello good man. How are you.

Speaker 1 (06:54):
Fine as far as I know?

Speaker 4 (06:56):
Ah, think you are. And you're working with a very
fine channel. You sacked? Sure.

Speaker 1 (07:02):
I see you don't know him very well. I can
tell already.

Speaker 4 (07:05):
I judge him by his comboy anyway, Thank you, I
appreciate it. Yes, uh, yeah, you live on Murray. He
will live out by there.

Speaker 1 (07:16):
Right the west side. Yeah, I'm a beloved west side
my whole life.

Speaker 4 (07:21):
I used to live over that way, my land. I
mean it's still your tulubs right off the front porch.
But you know, no sense calling the police for that.
But even if they steal your bike or car, Uh,
there was not much. It was a juvenile they don't.
They the brief say that they get out before they
even get the paperwork done.

Speaker 1 (07:39):
Absolutely, that is so true.

Speaker 4 (07:43):
Wow, how many kids do you have?

Speaker 2 (07:45):
Now?

Speaker 1 (07:45):
I have four adult children and now I have I'm
raising five grandchildren.

Speaker 4 (07:50):
Oh you've been married a while? How long you been married?

Speaker 1 (07:53):
Well, I'm on my second marriage now. The first one
was third thirty two years thirty.

Speaker 4 (07:59):
Oh you you've been married now for thirty two years.

Speaker 1 (08:02):
No, the first marriage was thirty two years.

Speaker 4 (08:04):
Oh, this marriage two years.

Speaker 1 (08:06):
Yeah, this one's this one's.

Speaker 4 (08:07):
Two okay, Well you sobered up the last one, right.

Speaker 1 (08:12):
I don't know what it was that happened, but I
somewhere I snapped in and got some sense.

Speaker 4 (08:19):
Well but anyway, yeah, I gave out Monday ben gro City. Here.
It happens everywhere. There's no particular place, and when they
do that, it just hurts the whole economy.

Speaker 1 (08:31):
Really, will are you in Are you in Grove City proper?
Down around uh the you know the the the Columbus
Street area, or are you one of the fringe areas well.

Speaker 4 (08:42):
The fringe area Huber Road six fifty five.

Speaker 1 (08:45):
Okay, well, I mean yeah, Actually I know another Bill
that lives down there. I used to work for it
and uh and he's a wonderful guy.

Speaker 4 (08:52):
But no, I'm.

Speaker 1 (08:53):
Will Oh yeah, well he's he's He's William Okay, but
you will. Yeah. He lives right across from from the
high school down there off of Hoover. But I used
to live over. I lived over when I called the
Grove City Ghetto off of Alcaya Road, and I was there.
I was there for about fourteen years, I suppose. And

(09:18):
you know, we had a Grove City address, but we
had Columbus City services. That's why it was the Grove
City Ghetto.

Speaker 4 (09:23):
And that's the way I was there earlier.

Speaker 1 (09:25):
Yes, then, these seventy five cars that were broken into
last night, those are right over there off of Big
Runs or Southwest Boulevard, right by Central Crossing High School.
That's a nice area, too, nice suburban area, and it's
not something you expect to wake up to.

Speaker 4 (09:41):
That's correct. But it can't happen anyway. Absolutely absolutely well
on the same page. But I'll let you go. But
thank you, sir.

Speaker 1 (09:49):
You take care of yourself will and you are welcome
here anytime, except when you say nice stuff about Zach,
because then I have to I have to question your stability. Now.
I just yet, you didn't do it. I just know you.
I'm just saying, I'm just being honest, you know how
I am. I can't lie. I have to be honest.
I know you're weird, and so the I'm proud weird, though,

(10:11):
are you are you, because you're not as I don't know,
you have a political mind, but you are not as
politically outspoken as probably most people on this side of
this building are. Are you. Are you surprised by the statistics?
Do you do you find any anything in there that
you went, wow.

Speaker 3 (10:30):
That's I'm not surprised by. Because there's the National Garden
federalized troops. I do wonder how long they're going to
be there, Like, what's how long are they going to stay?

Speaker 1 (10:39):
You know what I mean?

Speaker 3 (10:39):
Like are they going to be there for two weeks,
two months or or whatnot. So there's some conflicting opinions.

Speaker 1 (10:46):
I have about it. Well, and see, this is one
of the problems with not knowing. If the people that
are arrested are real criminals and are charged with real
crimes and sentenced to real repercussions for those crimes, this
may bring some peace to the streets that is much needed.
If they go through the typical okay, recognisance the community

(11:10):
crap and they're right back out, then you know, yeah,
it all goes right back. Columbus does the same thing.
They and since the Coman administration when Mike Coleman was mayor,
they started something called Neighborhood Pride in the City of Columbus,
and they would pick an area within a community and
you know, here's the boundaries this street to this street

(11:32):
and this street to the street. They'd created a square essentially,
and for one week they would bring in all city services.
Code enforcement would be out there, police would be out there,
the fire department will be out there checking the hydrants
and checking your house if you wanted to, you know,
smoke alarms installed or whatever. And they would focus real
hard and heavy for that week, and then they went away,

(11:54):
and then everything that they had fixed, cleaned up, corrected
a month later was yeah, yeah, yeah, because that is
the nature of human beings. I've said that before. I
did that clean up on the Hilltop and when we
got done, I started down Broad Street and somebody had
thrown their burger king trash in the middle west Broad Street,
and I'm like, this is the last time I'm doing this. Yeah,
that's just how I am. We can get Robin or

(12:15):
Ron in here before you say, a couple of minutes
ran you were on six ten w E TV and hight.

Speaker 2 (12:20):
Hey Chuck, Yeah, I'd say I was totally applauding his
move to do this. DC is just such a mess
and no cities should be like that, but especially our
Nason's capital, you know. And I went out to visit
a buddy that moved to Maryland, Gez way back in
ninety eight maybe, and we did a little two around DC,

(12:42):
first time I'd ever been there, and I could not
believe just the way it looks like that that you know,
the big lake there in front of that, the Washington
Monument filled goose poop, and goose poop was every the
whole place just looked disgusting. I was like, Wow, this
is nothing like it looks on TV.

Speaker 1 (12:59):
Nope, it's and and DC has so much, too, uh
so much to offer. When I went down for the
inauguration for the forty fifth, we we the closest we
could get was the Washington Monument, and the crowd was
just so huge. And sitting up there on the hill
the Washington Monument, looking down on the White House and
everything it was it was glorious. And I started looking

(13:20):
around that this city has so much to offer in
the way of you know, aesthetic charm. The train stations.
I'm not a fan of trains, but I'll tell you
what there's what. We went through one train station and
it was like being inside of a beehive. It was.
It was amazing in there, and I thought, oh, why
don't they build on this instead of just letting it
continue to be trashed and exactly, you know, the only

(13:45):
way you can do that is by eliminating the creation
of the trash. And I hope that's what he's doing
right now.

Speaker 2 (13:51):
Exactly. One other thing that was great about too is
the seventeen hundred architecture and stuff, you know, the rolling
stuff that is still around as neighborhood beautiful. Yeah, that part.

Speaker 1 (14:00):
Anyway, It's one of the things I like about New
England too. I mean, I look at cities like Boston
and it's beautiful. I could never live there with the politics,
but how beautiful all those you know, two century old
buildings that are still standing, and oh we waste so
much wonderful thing. Are so many wonderful things from our past.

(14:22):
I got to run. I appreciate your art. Thank you
very much for the call, and congratulations to Washington, d C.
And to the Trump administration. These are wonderful, wonderful statistics
coming out of DC as far as crime goes. And
I think I think next week they'll issue another report.
I think we're going to see it go down again

(14:42):
because people that are doing bad things are either going
to be arrested or they're going to get out of Dodge,
And either way I'm happy. As long as they don't
land here, which my luck they might. You can catch
them at gin their's house having dinner
