00:00This is an executive order that contains a number of additional measures relating to crime and law enforcement in Washington, D.C.
00:08It charges, for example, your Secretary of Defense with establishing specialized units in both the D.C. National Guard and the National Guard units around the country,
00:18specifically trained and equipped to deal with public order issues.
00:21It charges all of your various federal law enforcement agencies with hiring additional personnel to allow them to surge personnel to Washington, D.C., to deal with the current emergency here.
00:33It does a number of other things in that space, and it also asks the Attorney General to look at D.C. Metropolitan Police general orders that have currently impeded law enforcement efforts in the city
00:46and to potentially look at unwinding those that are stopping the police from doing their job effectively.
00:50And are we going to ask this to be codified by Congress, all of these things?
00:55I think we could potentially, yes, sir.
00:56I think so. I think we should. I think we'll get it.
00:59I think Democrats will vote. Well, it's hard to believe that they might not, but I think Democrats will actually vote for this.
