00:00When will you deploy to Chicago and how long are you keeping troops here in Washington, D.C.?

00:06When you're in a little discussion, I really want to be appreciated.

00:09You know, when we go into a city and wipe out the crime, so D.C., it sounds so horrible.

00:14I'm embarrassed to say it in front of you because they don't have anything like this.

00:19Washington, D.C., sir, has not had a murder in 11 days.

00:24Now, he's saying that's a horrible thing to hear because they don't have murders for...

00:30...ever.

00:31But Washington, D.C., if you go back and check, it's been many years since we went a week without having a murder.

00:39Now we haven't had...

00:40And I would say that Washington, D.C., right now is much safer than Seoul.

00:46You know why?

00:48Because we have a friendly neighbor.

00:49We have more friendly neighbors.

00:51You have a different kind of problem.

00:52We all have different problems.

00:54But Washington, D.C., is a very safe city right now.

00:58You know, people are going out to dinner.

00:59Restaurants are opening.

01:00Restaurants that were going to close are now going to stay open.

01:04Friends of mine are going out to dinner all the time.

01:06They didn't go out to dinner for four years.

01:08It went rampant during the Biden years.

01:11By...

01:12Just rampant.

01:13That's why it...

01:15Susie is very close to the mayor and has a lot of respect for her.

01:18But I view it maybe a little differently because the mayor would say that it's gotten better for 30 years.

01:24It's gotten better.

01:25No, it's gotten worse.

01:26And the worst day of all was when we just got to office for the second time.

01:31And it's in very bad shape.

01:33So the mayor shouldn't be saying that violent crime has been getting better.

01:38It's been getting much worse.

01:40And the day I took office, it was the worst.

01:42And we did some minor things, made it a little bit better.

01:45But then we said, look, we've got to stop it because too many people are getting killed.

01:48And we have not had a murder in 11 days.

01:52It sounds crazy.

01:53I hate to say this in front of this gentleman who I respect because they don't have murders for years.

01:58But we have not had a murder in 11 days.

02:01And that's going to go on for a long time.

02:04And there will be, I guess, it'll happen a little bit.

02:06But we have a very safe city.

02:08This is one of the safest cities right now in the country.

02:11And in a short period of time, it'll be like the border.

02:14Nobody came in through our border for the last 90 days, three months,

02:18we had zero illegal aliens from the Congo, from South America, from all over the world,

02:25from prisons coming in, pouring into our country.

02:28Nobody, not one person, and this is done by a liberal group, a liberal think tank.

02:33They do the work.

02:34Not one person has come into our country.

02:36Think of that.

02:37It's been amazing.

02:38And I didn't have to go back to Congress and ask,

02:41Biden could have done this by himself.

02:42I did.

02:43I said, close the borders.

02:44We had the great Tom Holman.

02:46We had Christy, as you know, Christy Noam, who did a fantastic job.

02:50She's doing a fantastic job.
