Transcript
00:00Okay, J.D., could I ask you, you gave a stat on murders here.
00:04What were the numbers?
00:05You said in a short period of time how many people were murdered?
00:08Local law enforcement told me, sir, that in the past 20 or 30 years,
00:11D.C. has averaged a murder every other day.
00:15That's, you know, 200 murders a year, 150, 250,
00:18but about every other day a person has been killed on the streets of Washington, D.C.
00:23We've been doing this for two weeks.
00:25Zero people killed.
00:26That's real lives saved that the media and, frankly,
00:29the entire Democratic Party should be saying,
00:31thank you for saving lives instead of attacking the President of the United States for doing so.
00:35You know, when the person, when a person, unfortunately,
00:39will probably happen at some point when a person's murdered in D.C.,
00:44it's going to be the biggest story maybe in history.
00:47Yes, sir.
00:47Somebody was murdered in D.C. Trump is failing.
00:51No, we're not failing. We have a safe city.
00:53This is maybe the safest city in America right now.
00:55That's how good it is.
00:57And it would be nice to be appreciated.
00:59These people, eventually, they're going to have to be appreciated for what they're doing,
01:02and they're going to have to be appreciated by the officials
01:04that are really happy when we go in
01:06because they've lost control of their place.
