Oh yes, well you.

Speaker 2 (01:34):
Know Tomorrow will be the eighth anniversary of the horrific
incident that happened in Charlottesville, Virginia, with the protest the
taking down the statues of.

Speaker 1 (01:50):
Roberty Lee at the Emancipation Park. Heather Air was murdered.

Speaker 2 (02:01):
Died in that ordeal, regardless of your of her political views.
It was very horrific and unacceptable. Many people at the
time try to blame it and go after Jason Kessler.
But I did plenty of shows around that time, like

(02:21):
three four I think three three episodes on that, and
one of them proven that blood was on the hands
by Charlottesville, Virginia.

Speaker 1 (02:33):
Because on their permit, Jason kessel hat in his hand.

Speaker 2 (02:37):
You can probably look it up too as a template
under under their open records laws. The clause in there reads,
I'm just paraphrasing that the city shall provide adequate security
for the event. When I've seen that video clip during

(02:58):
that time, like four pm that day CNN, I looked
and the first thing I came out of my.

Speaker 1 (03:06):
Brain was the police stood down.

Speaker 2 (03:11):
Many folks out there call me some certain names on Facebook,
called me a shit bag and a Nazi and all
that good stuff. But I stuck to my guns. And
he's talking to a person is not a fan of
Richard Spencer. He is just another glamour boy that wanted attention.

(03:33):
If you believe clocking him getting him knocked out is
a good thing, you're delusional. Why leave a chump like
that with dignity, and all the other factions are out
there too, with their commonest fish fish in the air.
There are no better. Everyone has the right to protest.

(03:57):
I have a piece be to assemble. And Charlottesville breached
the contract, divided Virginia's Bill of Rights and their civil
Rights resolution. That counts a Patriot Act, but if you
read it, it is a lot more thorough so tic

(04:18):
tac toe three ducks and three in the row.

Speaker 1 (04:23):
They put a lot of people in danger. And I
was during that time.

Speaker 2 (04:31):
I was reading articles from newsbuds and it was multiple sources.
It doesn't matter what left or right, and they were
getting Reporters were getting hit from both sides. It was
done by design, my friend, as far as I'm concerned.
Even the alt right documentary, which I found a comical overall,

(04:51):
the one chapter everyone that as a matter of four
or against whether Richard Spencer Anifah in the people will
did they all said the same thing. The police stood
down and they batter on the participants. Always beware of
the divide and rule agenda, the one that's fighting amongst

(05:18):
each other.

Speaker 1 (05:19):
So we could be ruled upon.

Speaker 2 (05:22):
And what was so odd about it was on George
Soros's birthday, he was eighty seven years old.

Speaker 1 (05:28):
He'll be ninety five tomorrow. I know Hungary does not
want him. He's off limits. That's his quote.

Speaker 2 (05:36):
Homeland, you're talking to a man who's Hungarian descent. Will
despise that individual based on his actions. He's one totalitarian
hack and employee for the one world order. In my
observing opinion, always say this word from the wise, be vigilant.

(06:04):
Never trust the government, regardless as federal, state, or local.
What happened there was just another twenty fourth excuse for
everything read between the lines. My friends, you'll thank me

(06:24):
later in the long run. All right, well, I'm gonna
read these articles. We'll call my attention to people on
Facebook and the mainstream media. I'll talk about watching DC's
under martial law. I think Trump's gonna be a not
to be a dictator and all that.

Speaker 1 (06:45):
Let's thread what it says here.

Speaker 2 (06:46):
I'm gonna read these two executive orders back to back,
and there's laws as well, so you can read it
for yourselves.

Speaker 1 (06:58):
It says here clarity crime emergency in the District of
Columbia came out today by.

Speaker 2 (07:05):
The authority vested me as president by the Constitution of
the Laws of the United States of America, including Section
seven point forty of the District of Columbia Self Government
and Governmental Reorganization Act, Public Law ninety three Dashed one
nine eight as the mendate Section sevenoin forty of the
Home Rule Act, and section three oh one Title three

(07:29):
United States.

Speaker 1 (07:30):
Code, is hereby ordered. Section one.

Speaker 2 (07:34):
Crime is out of control in the District of Columbia, Washington.
District of Columbia is our nation's capital and home of
the central institution of American governance. Yet rising violence in
the Capitol now urgently endangered public servants, citizens and tourists,
disrupt safe and secure transportation, and the proper functioning of

(07:54):
the federal government, and forces the diversion of critical public
resources toward emergency response and security measures. The city government's
failure to maintain public order in safety has had a
dire impact on the federal government's ability to operate efficiently
to address the nation's broader interests without fear of our

(08:15):
workers being subject to rampant violence. Increase in violent crime
in the heart of our republic has consequences beyond the
individual tragedies that have dominant major coverage, such Latcecenans also
poses intolerable risk of the vital federal function that take
place in the District of Columbia. Violence and crime hamper

(08:37):
the recruitment and retention of essentral federal employees under mynorcritical
functions of government, and thus the well being of the
entire nation and erode confidence in the strength of the
United States. These conditions are disgraceful anywhere, but particularly in
the capital of our nation and the seat of the
federal government. Citizens, tourists, and federal workers deserve peace of security,

(09:03):
not fear in violence. The smooth function of executive departments
and agencies, courts, diplomatic missions, and the federal government demands
and effective law enforcement, and the mechanism capable of halting
the precipitious rise in violent crime, not one that permits
government workers to be violently attacked by mobs or fatally

(09:26):
shot close to the federal buildings where they work. The
magnitude of the violent crime crisis places in the Juic
of Columbia among the most violent jurisdicims in the United States.
In twenty twenty four, the Jusica Columbia average one of
the highest robbery and murder rates of large cities nationwide. Indeed,

(09:47):
the Diesica Columbia now has a higher violent crime, murder
and robbery rate than all fifty states, recording a homicide
rate in twenty twenty four of twenty seven point fifty
four per hun two thousand residents. Is also experienced the
nation's highest vehicle death rate at eight forty two point

(10:07):
four thefts per one hundred thousand residents, over three times
the natural average of two hundred fifty point two thefts
per one hundred thousand residents. Disitt of Columbia is, by
some measures, among the top twenty of the most dangerous
cities in the world. As President I fell, I sell
them duty to take care that our laws are fifty

(10:29):
executed and our sacred responsibility to protect the safety and
security of the United States citizens who live and visit
our nation's capital, including fideral workers who live or commute
into the District of Columbia. These conditions cannot persist. We
will make the District of Columbia one of the safest
cities in the world, not the most dangerous. Section two

(10:52):
Services of the Metropolitan Police Department of the District of Columbia.
I determine that special conditions of an emergencing nature exists
that require the use of the Metropolitan Police Department for
the District of Columbia or Metropolitan Police Force for federal purposes,
including maintaining law and order in the nation seat of government,
protecting federal buildings, national monuments, and other federal property, and

(11:16):
ensuring conditions necessary for orderly functioning other federal government. Effective immediately,
the Mayor of the District Columbia Mayor shall provide the
services of the Metro Poladan Police Force federal purposes for
the maximum period permanent under Section seven oh four of
the Home Rule Act.

in the District of Columbia that requires the use of
the Metropolitan Police.

Speaker 1 (12:46):

Speaker 2 (12:48):
The Attorney General shall inform me of any circumstances that,
in the Attorney General's opinion, might indicate the need for
further action by the President, or that the action in
the Order is no longer necessary.

Speaker 1 (13:02):
Section five severability in.

Speaker 2 (13:05):
Any provision of this Order, or the application of any
provision to any individual or circumstance is held to be

Speaker 1 (14:23):
Any other person.

Speaker 2 (14:24):
D The cost for publication of this order shall be
born by the Department of Justice.

Speaker 1 (14:32):
Okay, so that was one of his orders on that day.
We'll do another one right here.

Speaker 2 (14:39):
Restore in law order in the District of Columbia. Remember
random for Secretary of Defense subject restoring law and order
in the District of Columbia.

Speaker 1 (14:49):
Section one.

Speaker 2 (14:50):
Background As President of the United States and Commander in
Chief of the District of Columbia National Guard. It is
my seldom duty to protect law by citizens from the
destructive forces of criminal activity. The obligation applies with special
force in our nation's capital, where as the commander in
chief other discs of Columbia National Guard. I must also

(15:12):
ensure that all citizens can avail themselves of the right
to interact with their elected representatives, and that the federal
government can properly function without fear of being subject to
subject to violence manstin street crime. The local government of
the District of Columbia has lost control of public order
and safety in the city, as evidence by the two

(15:35):
embassy staffers who were murdered in May, the congressional intern
who his family shot a short distance from the White
House in June, and the administration staffer who was mercifully
beating beaten by.

Speaker 1 (15:49):
Violent mob days ago.

Speaker 2 (15:52):
Interesting now, citizens, tourists, and staff alike are unable to
live peacefully in the nation's capital, which is undersea from
violent crime. It is a point of national disgrace that
DC has a violent crime rate that's higher than some
of the most dangerous places in the world. Is my
duty to our citizens and federal workers to secure the

(16:14):
safety and peaceful functioning of our nation, the federal government
and our city. Section two mobilized and District Columbia National Guard,
pursuing to my authority under the Constitution and the laws
of the United States and District of Columbia. I direct
the Secretary of Defense to mobilize the District of Columbia
National Guard and ordered members to active service in such

(16:37):
numbers as he deemed necessary to address the epidemic of
crime in our nation's capital. The mobilization and duration of
duty shall remain in effects until I determine that conditions
of law and order has been restored into District of Columbia. Further,
I direct the Secretary of Defense to coordinate with state
governors and authorize the orders of any additional members of

(16:58):
the National Guard to the active side service, as he
deemed necessary and appropriate to augument this mission. Section three
provisions this memorandum is not attended to, and does not
create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at
law or in equity by any part against the United States,

(17:20):
its department, agencies, or entities, it's officers, employees, or agents,
or any other person.

Speaker 1 (17:28):
Donald J.

Speaker 2 (17:29):
Trump, Interesting there, if I want to be reading here,
what are the implications of Section seven O four of
the Home Rule Act. This is updated for the Britannica

(17:50):
Encyclopedia botanical. Section seventy forty of the Home Rule Act
allows the President to federalize the DC Police Department, which
is known as the Metropolitan Specifically, Section seventy oh four says,
whenever the President of the United States determined that special
conditions of emergency nature exist which require the use of
the Metropolitan Police Force for federal purposes, he may direct

(18:15):
the mayor to provide him and the mayor shall provide
such services. The President must notify Congress of the action
within forty eight hours, which can stay in place.

Speaker 1 (18:26):
For up to thirty days.

Speaker 2 (18:28):
In August twenty twenty five, President Donald Trump became the
first president to invoke Section seven forty. The emergency was
East said was total lowssness within the District of Columbia,
despite the fact crime rates have declined since spiking during
the COVID nineteen pandemic.

Speaker 1 (18:52):
Well, we're gonna.

Speaker 2 (18:52):
Look, we're right down here. What is the Home Rule
Act and how does it impact how Washington, DC is governed?
Nineteen seventy three, The Washington d C has been governed
a system known as the Home Rule. That DC allowed
DC residents to elect a mayor any city council. The
councilors in power to set tax rates and the budget,

(19:16):
well as well as organized or bosh any agency of
the district's government. Congress, however, retains the right to veto
any actions by the district government that threatened federal interests,
and the budgets that are passed by the council are
approved by the mayor has to be reviewed and acted
by Congress.

Speaker 1 (19:34):
Interesting there, So it's good to know these things on
this matter.

Speaker 2 (19:39):
And I will hit the other laws as well, and
I'll be right back, So stay tuned, all right, I'm back.
We're gonna hit Title three US Codes, Section three zero one.
General Authorization to Delegate functions Publication of delegations. The President

(20:05):
of the United States is authorized to designate and empowered
the head of any department or agency in the Executive Branch,
or any official thereof who is required to be appointed
by and with the advice and the consent of the Senate,
to perform without approval, ratification, or other action by the President.

(20:27):
One any function which is vested by the President by law,
or two any function which is such officer is required
or authorized by law to perform only with or subject
to the approval, ratification, or other action of the President,
provides that nothing considered hearing shall relieve the President of

(20:50):
his responsibility in office for the acts of any such
head or other official designated by him to form such functions.
Such destination and authorization shall be in writing, shall be
published in the Federal Register, shall be subject to such
terms and conditions and limitations as the President may be

(21:12):
deemed advisable, and shall be revocable at any time by
the President and whole or in part. So the Federal
Register will have these executive orders too. I don't know
many people talk about DC right well. According to Article I,
Section eight, Class seventeen, Biograph one and two says here

(21:37):
the Congress shall have power to exercise exclusion botization in
all cases whatsoever over such district not exceeding ten square miles.
So it's funny because ten miles square as may by
session of particular states and the acceptance of Congress, become
the seat of the government of the United States, and

(21:58):
of the exercise like authority or over all places purchased
by the consent of the legislature of the state, which
the state which is the same shall be for the
erection for forts. Magazines arsenal dockyards or other needful building.
So DC is ten miles square sten square miles and

(22:20):
they have a pretty high rate. But even though violent
crime has dropped, something to think about, right, very interesting.

Speaker 1 (22:30):
On this matter. So we'll tell you what martial law
is here.

Speaker 2 (22:39):
According to Britannica dot com, martial law is a temporary
rule by military authorities of a designated area in time
of mergency, when the civil authorities.

Speaker 1 (22:50):
Are deemed unable to function.

Speaker 2 (22:53):
The legal effects of a declaration of martial law differ
in various jurisdictions, but they generally involve a suspension of
normal civil rights assenti to the civilian population of summary.

Speaker 1 (23:05):
Military justice or military law.

Speaker 2 (23:08):
Although temporary in theory, a state of martial law may
in fact continue.

Speaker 1 (23:16):
It was martial law, says here or dictionary dot law
dot com. It's a noun.

Speaker 2 (23:21):
A system of complete control by a country's military overall activities,
including civilian a theoretical or actual war zone, or during
the period of emergency caused by disasters such as an
earthquake or flood. Was the military commander having tutorial powers.
In the United States, martial law must be ordered by
the president as a commander of chief. It must be
limited to the duration of warfare or emergency. It cannot

(23:45):
result in a long term denial of constitutional rights such
as habeas corpus, the right to a trial, and to
free press.

Speaker 1 (23:53):
Martial law is ordered in consistent areas.

Speaker 2 (23:56):
During the Civil War, but a Supreme Court ruled President
Abraham Lincoln's suspension of the word of Habby's corporate was unconstitutional.
And during the San Francisco earthquake and five nineteen oh
six we see what was in ruins. Tens of thousands
were homeless, and looting and disease posed great danious to
the public. Misuse of martial law, such as the destruction

(24:17):
of the Veterans Encampment in Washington, d c. Under President
Herbert Hoover, has proved unpopular in the United States. In
many foreign countries, martial law has become a method to
establish and maintain deterror ships, either by military leaders or
politicians backed by the military. Martial law is not confused
from military law, which is governed the conduct of the

(24:38):
military services.

Speaker 1 (24:39):
Applies only to military service men and women.

Speaker 2 (24:46):
For interesting there too. And what's funny, because when you
start looking at this, DC find crime in DC hits
thirty year low from john Way.

Speaker 1 (25:01):
Third twenty twenty five.

Speaker 2 (25:03):
According to this, total vine crime for twenty twenty four
of Columbia is down thirty five percent from twenty twenty
three and is the lowest it has ever been in
over thirty years, according to data collected by the Metropolitan
Police Department MPD announced by the United States Attorney Matthew M.

Speaker 1 (25:25):
Graves. A breakdown on the data is available here.

Speaker 2 (25:29):
In addition to overall violent crime reduction, homicides are down
thirty two percent, robberies are down thirty nine percent, arm
card jacking are down fifty three percent. Assaults with the
dangerous weapon are down twenty seven percent when't compared with
twenty twenty three levels disc reporting the fewest assaults with
dangerous weapons and burgers over thirty years. The strategy this

(25:55):
office began to employ shortly after I came into this
role has been to work with law law enforcement partners
to focus on the drivers of violence, those gangs or
crews of people who are dealing drugs, protecting turfs, committee carjackings,
and other robberies all while armed. Said US Attorney Grads,

(26:17):
it's time to take development develop these investigations and prosecutions.

Speaker 1 (26:22):
But this is the fruit.

Speaker 2 (26:24):
Of that labor, a reduction in the violent crime that
DC is now showing. A central component of this strategy
has been targeting those crews who have preyed upon certain
neighborhoods in our community, often operating drug trafficking networks.

Speaker 1 (26:44):
In these neighborhoods.

Speaker 2 (26:46):
These proactive investigations and prosecutions have yielded immediately reductions in
violence and that had an lasting impact. For instance, an
MPD analysis of a crime trends in the area around
MLK Melling before and after a crew operating a drug
market in that area was arrested revealed that there was

(27:10):
a sixty six percent reduction in violent crime in the
area when comparing the six months prior to the arrest
to the six months after the arrest. Even two years
after these arrests, there was a fifty six percent reduction
in a number of homicides that occurred after the arrest
when compared two years before. Another key opponent of this

(27:31):
proactive approach was implementing in April twenty twenty two, projects
Ape Neighborhood, a daily review by the office and a
law enforcement partners every firearms arrest in the district to determine,
using objective criteria about a person arrested, the firearm recovered
wherever the case should be charged in the U. S.

Speaker 1 (27:52):
Distant Court or the superior court.

Speaker 2 (27:54):
Since April twenty twenty two, the office had accepted for
prosecution in the US just the court more than one
hundred and fifty gun offenders under this initiative. So the
question is, with those one hundred and fifty gun offenders,
how many of them will actually using for criminal intent.

Speaker 1 (28:10):
I'll continue on here.

Speaker 2 (28:12):
Finally, the Office has continued to do all that it
can to hold accountable to those who commit violent under
firearms and those who.

Speaker 1 (28:19):
Legally possess firearms, and.

Speaker 2 (28:21):
The Office had committed to provide in a quarterly basis
data relate it to these efforts.

Speaker 1 (28:27):
Data can be found here. Of course, you can look
it up.

Speaker 2 (28:30):
This data reflect in the first half of twenty twenty four,
the office was able to charge at the time of
the arrest of more than ninety percent of arrest for
violent crimes commit it with the gun and nearly seventy
percent of gun posssion arrest. The office continue to investigate
many of these arrests even it does not change on

(28:52):
the day charge does not charge. Excuse me on the
day of arrest. Also, on the first half of twenty
twenty four, the office obtained convictions in approximately seventy five
percent of these un related cases.

Speaker 1 (29:05):
So it goes on and on and on. I'll I'll
just finish us off.

Speaker 2 (29:09):
What the hell in the let me see here, I'll
just finish us off. These numbers related to forearm offenses
are critical and stands in start contrast to the overall
day of arrest charging rate for every arrest in District
of Columbia.

Speaker 1 (29:24):
Which is a significantly less informative metric.

Speaker 2 (29:27):
The vast majority of arrest and the District of Columbia
are for misdemeanor offenses.

Speaker 1 (29:32):
That are off the non violent in nature.

Speaker 2 (29:35):
For such offenses, the office has had a long standing
practice of giving great weight to victims wishes about whether
they want charges brought for a variety of reasons. A
substantial number of victims do not want criminal charges brought
for these relatively minor offenses. In fiscal year twenty nineteen,

(29:58):
the office expanded into a new section the number of
prosecutors devoted to reviewing arrests and examining body war on
Cameras BWC footage. Fiscal year twenty eighteen was a first
fiscal year where BWC had been fully deployed for the
entire year to determine whether the be WC footage reflected

(30:18):
issues that would later require the office to dismiss a
prosecution or if there were otherwise fatal flaws but the case.
This section is called the Early Case Assessment Section, which
is ECAs. The combination of BWC footage and ecas's early
detection of arrests that, if charged, would later need to

(30:39):
be dismissed led to relatively modest decreases in cases charge
in the time of the arrest of fiscal year twenty
eighteen twenty nineteen, overall day of arrest charging rates dropped
dramatically and the fiscal years of twenty twenty twenty one
and twenty twenty two, as the global pandemic brought the
criminal justice system to a haul and the DC of

(31:01):
Forensic Sciences loss is accreditation in twenty twenty one. Our office,
along with our local partners, worked to overcome these challenges,
and the overall day of arrest charging rate in the
fiscal year of twenty twenty four of fifty seven percent.

Speaker 1 (31:18):
Is virtually identical to the fifty four percent day of
arrest charging rate.

Speaker 2 (31:23):
That the office reported in the fiscal year in twenty nineteen.
After forming ecas's more significantly through the office dismissed far
fewer case of the cases in charge in fiscal year
twenty twenty four than it did in fiscal year twenty eighteen,
So more arrest resulted in the prosecutor outcome in fifthcal

(31:46):
year twenty twenty four.

Speaker 1 (31:47):
Then in fiscal year twenty.

Speaker 2 (31:48):
Eighteen, for filties particular, the percentage of cases with a
prosecutur outcome rose from sixty six percent year twenty eighteen
to eighty five.

Speaker 1 (32:01):
Percent in fiscal year of twenty twenty four.

Speaker 2 (32:04):
There's a value in addressing the issues such as a
lack of drug testing they were preventing our office form
charging at a time of arrest non violent misdemeanor offenses.
While charging more non violent offenses can benefit the community,
and defenders are often sentenced to periods of probation with
services that hopefully set aid and rehabilitation.

Speaker 1 (32:26):
These cases typically do.

Speaker 2 (32:27):
Not identify and remove violent offenders from the community as
a as is universally recognized. Targeting the relatively limited numbers
of individuals responsible for gun violence is the most impactful
thing that prosecutors can do to the contribute to the
kind and sharp declines in violent crime in districts saw

(32:49):
in twenty twenty four. To that, and multiple pro active
investigations are already underway that should further reduce violent crime
in twenty twenty five. My view always say how accurate
is it? Right with all fairness, And I'm not, you know,
gonna be angry with them or saying they're full of.

Speaker 1 (33:08):
Crap, But how accurate is it? That's the thing.

Speaker 2 (33:12):
And even when you look at some of the race
it went down, Okay, it may have gone down, but
ten square miles still pretty damn dangerous, you know. And
and another thing too, folks, legally the police in DC
are not obviously to detect an individual under cybimmunity toward liability.

(33:33):
There's a lot of cases on that, and I recommend
you check it out. And this whole thing on quote
martial law martial law generally, and it's this article two,

(33:53):
section two, clause one. He's verse thirteen or fourteen. If
I'm correct. Yeah, says here the President of the United
States shall be Commander in chief of the Army and
Navy of the United States and of the Militia of
the Civil States, when called into actual service of the
United States, maybe require the opinion in writing of the

(34:16):
Principal Officer in each of the Executive Departments upon any
subject relating to the duties of their respective offices, and
shall have the power of grant reprise and pardons for
offenses against the United States, except in cases of impeachment.

Speaker 1 (34:31):
A little history here on this about martial law, and
I'll just reader this whole thing. It's very interesting.

Speaker 2 (34:40):
Indeed, says here martial law can be validly conseruitionally established
by supreme political authority in wartime, as held in Luther
versus Boarding, and Lutheran Court held that the state declarations
of martial law were conclusive and therefore non subject to
judicial review. In this case, the Court found that Rodel
Sayer has been within its rights in restoring to the

(35:02):
rights and uses the war combating insurrection in that state.

Speaker 1 (35:06):
Decision in the prized cases, although not dealing.

Speaker 2 (35:09):
Directively with the subject of martial law, gave national scope
of saying General Principal in eighteen sixty three, there's an
interesting here, now a little history lesson. After the Civil
war divided at Court ex parte, Milligan pronounced President Abraham
Linco's suspension of the writ of Habe's corpus in September
eighteen sixty three, foid the silent passage of the Court's opinion.

Speaker 1 (35:32):
Bearing on this point is the following.

Speaker 2 (35:35):
If in foreign invasion or civil war, the courts are
actually closed and it's impossible to administer criminal justice according
to law, then on the theater of active military operations
where war really prevails, there is a necessity to furnish
a substitute for the civil authority thus overthrown to preserve
the safety.

Speaker 1 (35:54):
Of the army and society.

Speaker 2 (35:55):
And as no power is left, but the military is
allowed to govern by more martial rule until the laws
can have their free course, a necessity created creates the
rule towards limits it's duration. For if this government is
continued after the courts are reinstated, is the growth direcipation
of power. Martial rule can never exist where the courts

(36:19):
are opened and and proper exercises of their jurisdiction is
also confined to locality of actual war.

Speaker 1 (36:30):
Does it give you a whole rundown on these things?

Speaker 2 (36:33):
And I'm not gonna look readers in its entirety, but
think a little history lesson so you guys can read
it for yourselves. There's lots of cases on here with
footnotes as well, so I'll definitely leave this and everything
else on here.

Speaker 1 (36:47):

Speaker 2 (36:49):
So yeah, in the basis constitutionally speaking, he could put Washington,
DC under martial law, you know, so if a district
is not a natural city anything like. So, so he
has that power and my personal view, but we still
gotta watch them all. My friends always observe responsibly.

Speaker 1 (37:10):
Don't say, oh yeah, Trump's doing this.

Speaker 2 (37:14):
But the whole thing is, please are opliged to protect
you they I think you have some real strict firearm
bloss in DC.

Speaker 1 (37:22):
Which is unconstitutional. They had cases and it looks like
the Supreme Court did favor that and people that DC
arm up.
