President Donald Trump signed an executive order to end cashless bail in Washington D.C.
Transcript
00:00So I'll start signing the executive orders. To me, there's a very, very big deal. One of the executive orders has to do with cashless bail. That was when the big crime in this country started. And I can tell you who did it, when, but I don't want to do that because others followed pretty quickly. But that was when it happened. Somebody kills somebody. They go in. Don't worry about it. No cash. Come back in a couple of months. We'll give you a trial. You never see the person again.
00:29And, I mean, they kill people and they get out. Cashless bail. They thought it was discriminatory to make people put up money because they just killed three people lying on a street. Any street all over the country, cashless bail. We're ending it. But we're starting by ending it in D.C. and that we have the right to do through federalization. Okay, let's go. Could I ask you to say exactly what this is? Of course. So as you've consistently identified, sir, cashless bail policies are
00:58a key driver of the disorder we see on city streets all over America. Catch and release system allows criminals to keep going back out onto the street and reoffending. What this executive order does, it charges your attorney general with identifying jurisdictions all over the country that have cashless bail policies. And then it withholds or revokes federal funds and grants that are flowing to those jurisdictions to ensure that we're only supporting the people who have reasonable, common sense policies around crime.
01:28It's potentially anywhere that has a cashless bail policy. So some of the largest cities, some of the most left wing states in America. Almost all of them, right?
01:36Illinois would be a great example of that, sir. Oh, they have a great cashless bail. You don't even have to go to court sometimes.
01:42No, Illinois, I love that state. It's a great state, but it's run so badly by Pritzker. They threw him out of the family business and he becomes governor. Now he wants to run for president. I don't think that's going to happen. Okay, we'll sign right here, right?
01:56Sir. So important. And this isn't Republican Democrat. This is, and by the way, most Democrats agree with us, but this is just, we got to bring our country back. Okay. That's a big one.
