00:05out of control, but we're going to put it in control very quickly like we did on

00:08the southern border. I'm announcing a historic action to rescue our nation's

00:15capital from crime, bloodshed, bedlam, and squalor, and worse. This is Liberation

00:22Day in DC and we're going to take our capital back. We're taking it back under

00:28the authorities vested in me as the President of the United States. I'm

00:32officially invoking section 740 of the District of Columbia Home Rule Act.

00:37You know what that is? And placing the DC Metropolitan Police Department under

00:43direct federal control. And you'll be meeting the people that will be

00:47directly involved with that. Very good people, but they're tough and they know

00:55what's happening. They've done it before. In addition, I'm deploying the National

01:00Guard to help reestablish law, order, and public safety in Washington DC and they're

01:06going to be allowed to do their job properly.
