00:00Our president Trump holding a marathon cabinet meeting yesterday where he called out Democrats

00:04for defending crime instead of fighting it. The Republicans are the party that wants to stop

00:11crime. We're against crime. The Democrats like crime. I don't know why. I mean,

00:19we talk about common sense. I think I got elected on talking about common sense.

00:24Yeah, more than conservative, it's common sense. Our next guest credits President Trump's policies

00:28with reducing crime and questions why it was not prioritized under the Biden administration.

00:33So I want to bring in former Clinton advisor and pollster Mark Penn. Mark, it just struck you as

00:39a American why Democrats seem to have dropped any interest in the border and dropped any interest

00:46in drug trafficking during the previous four years. Well, not only did they drop it, but it's

00:53pretty clear in retrospect, the border was just open. And seeing people like the governor of Illinois

01:00say, hey, well, you know, there's no crime emergency here when they're losing, you know, 800 people,

01:07nearly 1,000 people every year in Cook County to murders. And the country is losing 75,000

01:16to 100,000 people a year between fentanyl and crime. I mean, that those are staggering numbers

01:23of deaths. And when I worked with President Clinton, they were some of the first issues

01:28that we tackled when we wanted to reach out. So I'm puzzled that Democrats, you know, rather

01:33than coming forward, make a compromise, come out with a with a counter plan, try to figure out

01:39some joint message, just seem to be putting themselves, you know, almost on the side of

01:45being, hey, just let crime be. And that, of course, is a disastrous policy for the party in

01:51the country. And I know I could get I could pull up soundbites that shows Harry Reid and Chuck

01:56Schumer and Bill Clinton sounding like Donald Trump when it comes to border policy, sounding like in the

02:0190s, you could have Joe Biden talk about how the need to bring law and order back to the streets.

02:06But when Trump says it, they just do the opposite. So let's look at the results in D.C. so far

02:10over the last two weeks. Over 1,000 arrests, 115 illegal guns seized, eight known gang members

02:17scooped up, two missing children recovered, 49 encampments cleared, just walked by Union Station,

02:22they're just not there anymore. So you're saying, look at these results. But yet the Democratic leaders,

02:28Pritzker, that ridiculous mayor, and of course, Gavin Newsom, Karen Bass,

02:34Governor Hochul here, we don't want the help. Crime is fine.

02:42Yeah, well, just remember, the FBI got started in the first place because states and localities

02:48couldn't deal with crime. That is the whole history of federal involvement in law enforcement.

02:56And I'm not saying the Democrats should say, fine, send the National Guard. I'm saying Democrats

03:00should have responded strongly and said, yes, let's work together. I'll meet you in the White

03:05House. We'll see how we could reduce these murders. The fentanyl deaths are 50,000 a year.

03:11You know, how we deal with that problem, how it's connected to the border, how we put criminals

03:17behind bars, because small numbers of criminals commit a lot of crimes. But you just hear none of

03:22that. It really is quite astounding to me that they're just ceding the entire issue over to Trump,

03:28hoping there'll be some kind of backlash for reducing murders.

03:33So, Mark, you live by the polls. 54 percent of D.C. residents are happy with the results

03:38of what has happened over the last two weeks, 90 percent of which voted for the other party,

03:43for the Democratic Party. So if you care about your people and you want to even give the perception

03:49of law and order, you wouldn't say everything's fine, things are trending in the right direction.

03:54People are saying, well, I don't feel like everything's fine. So in the big picture,

03:58what should Democrats be saying coming out of Minneapolis once it comes to law and order?

04:04Democrats are saying we're not going to allow problems like murders and fentanyl persist,

04:10that we really want to reduce those problems, that we care about the lives that are being lost,

04:16thousands of lives every month lost here in America needlessly and get on the side of stopping

04:23these deaths. That's why it's not about the criminals or the crime or the guns. It's about

04:28stopping these needless deaths. They're about stopping Trump and that ship has already left port.

04:35Mark Penn, thanks so much. Appreciate it.
