00:00President, on the National Guard, you've talked a lot about Democratic-run cities and states.

00:03Would you also consider sending the National Guard into red states and red cities that are also seeing high crime?

00:09Sure, but there aren't that many of them.

00:11If you look at the top 25 cities for crime, just about every one of those cities is run by Democrats.

00:19And, you know, one of the bad things they did, cashless bail, if you look back on time,

00:23when they allowed a murderer out that afternoon, you know, he'd kill somebody,

00:28and then a couple of hours later, he's walking the streets again, oftentimes killing again rapidly.

00:34Cashless bail is a disaster.

00:35You saw we had a news conference today on that.

00:37We're wiping it out in D.C. immediately, wiping it out.

00:42It started in New York, I must tell you, and it's been a horrible thing for crime, especially violent crime.

00:50So we're going to end cashless bail.

00:52Yes, thank you.
