Transcript
00:00Mr. President, as you know, there were some very concerning reports about crime statistics.
00:06Police are manipulating crime data to downplay crime in D.C.
00:09Will the administration release its own crime statistics to counter their misinformation?
00:13And will those individuals who are intentionally misrepresenting crime data and fudging the books, like you said, be penalized for endangering the public?
00:21They are under investigation right now.
00:24They are giving us phony crime stats, just like they gave other stats in the financial world.
00:30But they're phony crime stats.
00:32And Washington, D.C. is at its worst point.
00:35And it will soon be at its best point.
00:37You're going to have a very safe, you're going to have a crime-free city.
00:39I mean, I say that.
00:40You're going to have virtually a crime-free city.
00:43And these are strong men.
00:46But the criminals are strong men and women.
00:48But they're strong men.
00:50And these are people that don't play games.
00:53We're not playing games.
00:54These are criminals we're dealing with.
00:56And they treated people.
00:57They took one of the people that worked for us the other day.
01:00You saw the beating, the pounding.
01:02Ten against one.
01:04And they pounded the hell out of him.
01:05He's lucky to be alive.
01:07He's barely, almost killed.
01:09And we're not going to have that happening.
01:11Please.
