00:00I'm announcing a historic action to rescue our nation's capital from crime, bloodshed, bedlam and squalor and worse.
00:11This is Liberation Day in D.C. and we're going to take our capital back.
00:16We're taking it back under the authorities vested in me as the president of the United States.
00:22I'm officially invoking Section 740 of the District of Columbia Home Rule Act.
00:28Do you know what that is?
00:30And placing the D.C. Metropolitan Police Department under direct federal control.
00:35And you'll be meeting the people that will be directly involved with that.
00:41Very good people, but they're tough and they know what's happening.
00:47They've done it before.
00:48In addition, I'm deploying the National Guard to help reestablish law, order of public safety in Washington, D.C.
00:56And they're going to be allowed to do their job properly.
