Transcript
00:00I'm sure you have a lot of questions today. I'm happy to get to them. So let's get started. And
00:04as always, we'll start with our new media seat, who is our podcast host today, Benny Johnson.
00:08Benny, why don't you kick us off and thanks for being here. Thank you, Caroline. As a DC resident
00:13of 15 years, I lived on Capitol Hill. I witnessed so many muggings and so much theft. I lost track.
00:20I was carjacked. I have murders on my ring camera and mass shootings. I witnessed a woman on my
00:26block get held up at gunpoint for $20. And my house was set ablaze in an arson with my infant
00:33child inside. And so to any reporter that says and lies that DC is a safe place to live and work,
00:40let me just say this. Thank you. Thank you for making the city safe because no parent should
00:46have to go through what my family went through, having the fire department rip open their door
00:50to save their infant child. And so thank you for your work on securing this city. My question to
00:55you is this, Nancy Pelosi has attacked the president for deploying the National Guard.
