Tensions flared at Washington D.C.’s Union Station as Trump allies J.D. Vance, Pete Hegseth, and Stephen Miller were met with loud boos and heckling from protesters. The fiery exchange escalated when Miller blasted the demonstrators as “crazy communists” and “stupid white hippies,” accusing them of fueling crime and chaos in the nation’s capital. The Trump aides vowed not to let “radical forces” destroy American cities, turning the confrontation into a dramatic political showdown.
00:00So, you know, you guys bust your ass all day.
00:30For too long, 99% of this city has been terrorized by 1% of the city.
00:59And the voices that you hear out there, those crazy communists, they have no roots.
01:05They have no connections to the city.
01:07They have no families they are raising in this city.
01:09They have no one that they are sending to school in this city.
01:11They have no jobs in this city.
01:12They have no connections to this community at all.
01:15But they're the ones who have been advocating for the 1%, the criminals, the killers, the rapists, the drug dealers.
01:22And I'm glad they're here today, because me, Pete, and the Vice President are all going to leave here, and inspired by them, we're going to add thousands more resources to this city to get the criminals and the gang members out of here.
01:34We're going to dismantle those networks, and we're going to prove that a city can serve for the law-abiding citizens who live there.
01:42We are not going to let the communists destroy a great American city, let alone the nation's capital.
01:48And let's just also address another thing.
01:50All these demonstrators that you've seen out here in recent days, all of these elderly white hippies, they're not part of this city and never have been.
01:59And by the way, most of the citizens who live in Washington, D.C. are black.
02:03This is not a city that has had any safety for its black citizens for generations.
02:11And President Trump is the one who is fixing that with the support of the Metropolitan Police Department, the support of the National Guard, and our federal law enforcement officers.
02:19So we're going to ignore these stupid white hippies that all need to go home and take a nap, because they're all over 90 years old.
02:26And we're going to get back to the business of protecting the American people and the citizens of Washington, D.C.
02:31Mr. Vice President, why are Truth Station here at Union Station on the National Guard in central areas in D.C. where crime is statistically biased?
02:40Well, if you've ever been to Union Station in the last few years with your family, you know that crime is actually extremely high right here in Union Station.
02:47You have vagrants, you have drug addicts, you have the chronically homeless, you have the mentally ill who harass, who threaten violence, who attack families, and they've done it for far too long.
02:58This should be a monument to American greatness. This should be a place where you can come and share a meal or go shopping with your family.
03:05It should not be a place where parents of small children are afraid to bring them, because to Stephen's point, we've empowered criminals over the people who actually need public safety in the city.
03:16So I think Union Station is a great example of what's possible when you actually have the political willpower to bring law and order and common decency back to the public spaces of the United States of America.
03:28So many Americans live in cities, they occupy these spaces, they know how unsafe they are, and they would love to be able to just live their life in places like Union Station without violent criminals making it impossible.
03:40We have changed so much in nine days, and I thought it important to highlight how great of a space this could be, how easy it could be to actually enjoy something like Union Station if you just had politicians who stopped prioritizing violent criminals over the public citizens who deserve public safety in their own communities.
03:59Well, look, we'll ultimately let the President of the United States determine where we are after 30 days of this emergency order.
04:05I think that we're going to make a lot of progress over the next 20 days. I think that we're nine days into this thing.
04:10But if the President of the United States thinks that he has to extend this order to ensure that people have access to public safety, then that's exactly what he'll do.
04:17If he thinks he doesn't have to do that, obviously he'll make that determination.
04:20But what we're going to do is try to empower these guys to do as good of a job as possible to bring public safety and order back to Washington, D.C.
04:28This is the national, cultural, and political capital of the world's greatest nation.
04:34And you talk to people, black, brown, white, so many of them are afraid to bring their kids into its public spaces.
04:41It's a shame. It's a blight. It actually should make every American ashamed that the world's leading superpower, our national capital, was unsafe for families to walk around at night.
04:53That is a disgrace. We don't think that it's acceptable. And thank God we have the presidential leadership to change it.
04:59And that's exactly what we're trying to do.
