00:00I'm announcing a historic action to rescue our nation's capital from crime, bloodshed, bedlam, and squalor, and worse.
00:10This 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.
00:27Do you know what that is?
00:28I'm 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.
00:40Very good people, but they're tough, and they know what's happening, and they've done it before.
00:48In addition, I'm deploying the National Guard to help reestablish law, order, and public safety in Washington, D.C.,
00:56and they're going to be allowed to do their job properly.
