Transcript
00:00set the record straight. In other news on the home front, President Trump's efforts to make
00:04D.C. safe again are working. There have been a total of 465 arrests since the start of this
00:11operation on Thursday, August 7th. Last night, there were a total of 52 arrests, including the
00:18arrest of an illegal alien MS-13 gang member with convictions for DWI and drug possession.

01:38them behind bars and unapologetically standing up for the safety of law-abiding American citizens.
