Trump announces the federalization of the Metropolitan Police Department in order to take control of the streets of Washington, D.C. President Trump travels to Poland and meets with the new Prime Minister of Poland, Karol Nowrowiec, and prepares for a historic summit with Vladimir Putin.
00:00:53.920Something's out of control, but we're going to put it in control very quickly like we did on the southern border.
00:00:58.520I'm announcing a historic action to rescue our nation's capital from crime, bloodshed, bedlam, and squalor.
00:01:07.880And worse, this is Liberation Day in D.C., and we're going to take our capital back.
00:01:15.380Trump posting, the homeless have to move out immediately.
00:01:18.420We will give you places to stay, but far from the capital.
00:01:21.040Trump has suggested in the past that the federal government should take over the city and threaten to have the feds step in after a former worker for Elon Musk's Doge Group was assaulted during an attempted carjacking last week.
00:01:37.360Over the weekend, more than 100 federal agents were deployed across D.C. in a massive anti-carjacking operation.
00:01:43.900Trump also suggesting trying young teenagers as young as 14 as adults.
00:01:48.680I thought it was very respectful that the president of Russia is coming to our country as opposed to us going to his country or even a third party place.
00:02:01.100But I think we'll have constructive conversations.
00:02:05.460Then after that, the next meeting will be with Zelensky and Putin or Zelensky and Putin and me.
00:02:12.740President Trump preparing for a historic and high-stakes summit with Vladimir Putin, inviting the Russian president to U.S. soil for the first time in nearly 10 years.
00:02:24.000I think my instinct really tells me that we have a shot at it.
00:02:31.440The president has already suggested any deal would involve, quote, swapping of territories, something Vladimir Zelensky has made clear he will not do,
00:02:41.220saying Ukrainians will not give their land to the occupier.
00:02:47.140Well, ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard today's edition of Human Events Daily here live, Washington, D.C.
00:03:02.720Had the opportunity to attend the inauguration of the great new populist nationalist president, Karol Nowrowski.
00:03:11.220And of course, we also got to see the news that Karol Nowrowski, the president of Poland, will soon be visiting the U.S. president here coming up in September.
00:03:22.720But here's something that's interesting that was breaking while we were over in Poland.
00:03:28.180President Trump made a series of statements gearing up towards and really building towards what we saw today in the White House.
00:03:35.860The liberation of Washington, D.C., and what President Trump announced this morning, the federalization of the Washington, D.C.
00:03:46.560This is being done under evoking, invoking the Home Rule Act of Washington, D.C.
00:03:52.540And of course, he has all and full constitutional authority to do this.
00:03:57.960It's certainly something that is within his legal remit.
00:04:00.680And more to the point, it's something that needs to be done because of the outrageous street violence in Washington, D.C.
00:04:08.080Look, I don't need to go to these statistics, although I would point out that one of the commanders of the D.C. police force was just fired for cooking the books or juking the stats.
00:06:33.720Washington, D.C. has lost its ability and lost its privilege of self-rule.
00:06:40.140And honestly, when I hear President Trump say, we want to take a look at New York and Baltimore and Detroit and Chicago and Philadelphia and Los Angeles, I say, thank God.
00:06:51.420Thank God we have a president who actually wants to fix the problems of the public lawlessness in this country.
00:06:58.940We need law and order all across the United States of America.
00:07:52.140My gosh, it felt great to be out of here.
00:07:54.460Folks, every day, gold and silver are in the news.
00:07:57.820And they're in the news right now with President Trump announcing that gold will be excluded from the tariffs.
00:08:03.240Now we know that they're testing the all-time highs with the uncertainty of war, inflation, interest rates, and of course, the tariffs, which are putting precious metals and so much more to literally the limit.
00:08:16.220Folks, today when the tariff news came in, and this is directly from President Trump himself, he posted it on True Social.
00:08:32.380Whether you're a collector looking for the best pricing in the precious metal space or you're looking to protect your future, doesn't matter.
00:08:38.860If it's $5,000 or even $5 million, now is the time to act.

00:12:26.420What have we said here on Human Events Daily since day one?
00:12:28.700Since day one, I have told you on this program that the only way that this will end is when we see direct talks between the leaders of the United States and the leaders of Russia.
00:12:41.460None of this other stuff, you know, we're going to say, oh, send this over and this package, and this is going to get done, and that's going to get done.
00:12:48.200I said, no, you've got to cut out the entire rest and go for the one-on-one summit.
00:12:54.040Now it's happening in absolutely stunning fashion.
00:12:58.040President Trump set to sit down with Vladimir Putin this Friday in Alaska, and then the Russians are putting out some information saying that Trump himself might be traveling to Russia for the next in a series of meetings.
00:13:11.320All right, I think we have Mike Benz back.
00:13:17.360So, Benz, walk us through this move, and it's such a brilliant masterstroke here because President Trump is skipping all over, I think, the steps that were actually obstacles to the peace process and saying, you know what, I'm going to deal with this one myself.
00:13:34.000All the biggest obstacles to the peace process are right here in Washington, D.C., which is why I think it's fitting to have this in the most remote part of the United States as well as quite adjacent to Kamchatka in Russia.
00:13:51.440This is famously the place that Sarah Palin said she could look out her back door and see Russia.
00:13:59.060So it's almost like a common meeting round.
00:14:00.140Sarah Palin totally vindicated, by the way.
00:14:02.420Sarah Palin has been totally vindicated.
00:14:07.020But Trump's great opponents in trying to strike peace have not been Putin, or I would argue even Zelensky, but rather the phalanx of blob corps, blob corps, sort of army corps from the blob who are on both sides of the Atlantic.
00:14:28.020From the legacy D.C. internationalist mafia together with the transatlantic side of the NATO cabal who have tried to sabotage the peace process at every turn.
00:14:39.620Folks, remember, right before the previous round of peace talks with Russia and Ukraine, Mike Pompeo traveled over to Ukraine, gave a speech about the need to unsettle the peace process by attacking Putin.
00:14:57.180And the very next day, the largest attack on Russia's territory was set off by Ukraine, which scuttled the peace process.
00:15:07.120So you have this, you know, this core of folks who make their living off of war with Russia, off of seizing assets from Eurasia, who do not want peace, certainly do not want peace under the terms that Trump, I think, would be willing, which include giving up land in Ukraine.
00:15:27.380The fact is, is that land in Ukraine that Russia has seized has been under a coup government for 11 years.
00:15:36.740It was the Obama administration's toppling, the overthrow of the democratically elected government of Ukraine in 2014 that caused eastern Ukraine, which is majority Russian ethnic, to break away.
00:15:48.060What would we do in the United States in that situation if a foreign government toppled our own and then one side of our country broke away and did not respect the new coup government?
00:16:01.060I mean, that was that was what happened here.
00:16:04.220And so Ukraine sort of ceased to become Ukraine after the 2014 Maidan coup.
00:16:10.420It became a NATO owned western half and a Russia affinity eastern half.
00:16:19.260So the the seizing of this this land, which frankly is not even all that great a territorial dominion, is something that I think Putin is is bent on.
00:16:31.660He does not want to give up land for peace now that he controls that land.
00:16:36.060And what good is giving that back anyway, as soon as a Democrat gets in power or as soon as a Nikki Haley Republican gets in power, they're going to try to seize that land.
00:16:46.580They're going to use that land to build NATO missiles on.
00:16:50.760We know that Ukraine is still ostensibly on a path to NATO accession.
00:16:56.000NATO has made no promises that it would not fold Ukraine into NATO.
00:17:00.580In fact, they're moving ahead with it.
00:17:02.080And even if they did promise it, who in the right mind would believe it?
00:17:05.200After all the lies that NATO is told about stopping expansion.
00:17:10.140So with that all said, I think that the only path to peace is through Ukraine giving up land, land that it frankly should not have, you know, should not have taken through a 2014 coup and left the entire eastern state helpless.
00:17:26.160I mean, the eastern Ukrainians were being murdered by American military muscle that was being thrown for from 2014 to 2022 at the Ukrainian military in order to seize that back.
00:17:39.580So Trump needs to conduct these negotiations in in peace, in tranquility and in Alaska.
00:18:12.460The French were here all the way up through the French, what eventually became the Louisiana Purchase.
00:18:18.720And so you just see empire after empire.
00:18:22.080The Dutch, you know, even had, you know, many holdings in New York City.
00:18:25.180And so the fact that you're you're having it in this place where and of course, by the way, the Russian Orthodox Church, most of the natives up in Alaska are, in fact, Russian Orthodox.
00:18:36.060And so this is something where a lot of people will be asking, why are they doing it up there?
00:18:41.880But it makes a lot of sense for a number of reasons, also, which we're coming up on a break here real quick, also, which because there is that ICC warrant out for Putin regarding the Ukraine war.
00:18:52.520But the United States, of course, famously does not uphold ICC warrants, does not enforce them.
00:18:59.480And so, of course, this is a country that he actually can travel to without having to worry about any of the legal framework that the ICC would run into.
00:19:08.620That, of course, prevented him from attending some of the BRIC summits like the one in Brazil recently.
00:19:34.340All right, Jack Posobiec, we are back.
00:19:39.900Human Events Daily, on with Mike Benz.
00:19:41.940We're talking about the significance of the Trump-Putin meeting that is widely expected to take place on Friday.
00:19:49.080It's been announced that it'll take place on Friday.
00:19:51.240I think likely that it will take place in Anchorage, though, of course, and of course, it could take place as well on a military base.
00:19:58.440There certainly are plenty up there in the Anchorage region or others.
00:20:01.460You're just going to need that much infrastructure for media and two heads of state, the two largest nuclear powers in the world, to hold a meeting like this.
00:20:08.960It certainly, by the way, puts Alaska on, you know, on the map once again, the history of the U.S. and Russia in Alaska.
00:20:16.720You talk about the U.S. and Russia having a strong competition, by the way, in the North, in the Northern Sea, going across the Arctic, which is going to be one of the seminal competitive flashpoints coming up over the next century.
00:20:30.000And, in fact, it's something that puts natural resources, I would even say, on the map as well, looking at things like Pebble Mine, that Russia, of course, exploits the resources of Siberia directly across the strait.
00:20:42.540But, of course, America does not and largely leaves many of those natural resources behind and because of regulations.
00:20:51.520Mike Benz, walk us through some of the ideas that we've been hearing for, you know, we haven't gotten quite a full readout of what, you know, what the offers are going to be when it comes to the negotiations here.
00:21:04.080Russia, I think, of course, pushing for all four of the contested oblasts.
00:21:08.720J.D. Vance saying yesterday that, you know, they'd be looking for basically a ceasefire along the line of contact, which would not include the entirety of all four of the oblasts.
00:21:20.700And I think there's a new phrase that's been going around talking this idea of de facto de facto recognition of Russian control of these areas, which is not quite the same thing as complete acceptance of this.
00:21:34.340And it's similar in many ways to Kosovo as well.
00:21:40.780Well, what they want to do is is they want to freeze the losses so that what NATO wants is to freeze the losses,
00:21:47.700to stop losing territory, to stop losing men and and young people, old people, imported people,
00:21:57.160so that after a fair amount of time and rebuilding of Ukraine and rearming of Ukraine,
00:22:05.800they can seize those oblasts and seize Crimea at a time when the growth rate of Ukraine and and Europe and a favorable administration in the US would be able to win this war in a way that they cannot presently.
00:22:23.220This is why I always refer to this as a kind of what NATO is offering is a peace fire.
00:22:34.060They if you listen to Mike Pompeo's speech, for example, before or right before Ukraine launched its latest, deadliest attack on Russian territory.
00:22:44.220And he and Pompeo was asked, when do you think, you know, this this war could end?
00:22:50.380And Pompeo made the argument that it'll never end, that that that even in a scenario of peace, Russia will still be the devil.
00:22:59.280Russia will still be the great menace to European security.
00:23:02.880And so even with a peace deal, we have to keep fighting the war.
00:23:06.900And of course, this is because what NATO wants is to keep seizing the assets.
00:23:11.460They want to seize the seventy five trillion dollars worth of natural resources in Russia.
00:23:16.740And Ukraine is a stop along that journey.
00:23:20.280But it's a very pivotal stop because of its geostrategic location.
00:23:25.160But I think what Russia wants is is an agreement that Ukraine will not join NATO.
00:23:33.060What Russia wants is is keeping at least large swaths of the territory that it has acquired militarily.
00:23:40.600Certainly, that will include include Crimea.
00:23:43.500The idea that Russia could lose its only warm water port, I think, would be disastrous for Russia to give up.
00:23:52.260And I think they feel they have no need to give it up.
00:23:55.600Of course, the the counterweight to this is NATO is building its biggest ever NATO base right on the Black Sea in Romania after what appeared to be a total coup of the Romanian government annulling the first round election,
00:24:10.740and indicting the populist candidate, Kaelin Georgescu, who won that election and then appearing to sabotage that entire election process through the courts the same way the Brazil courts have been co-opted in that in that manner.
00:24:28.140But I think that NATO hopes that it can build up that military base in Romania and it can fund this new European army that Germany and France are spearheading.
00:24:40.420I think they've already allocated billions of dollars to this new kind of European army concept together with a renewed.
00:24:49.120Just just we I'm looking at the clock and I realize I only have you for two more minutes.
00:24:55.280What could just zoom out that we zoom out for a little bit here and say the U.S. and Russia meeting meeting a larger strategic agreement between the two of them,
00:25:05.360this hope that President Trump has spoken of, of pivoting Russia, perhaps against China, breaking up the BRICS block.
00:25:12.980Now, how much of a threat is this to the transatlantic access?
00:25:20.520The much of that transatlantic access is now allied with China.
00:25:24.840They don't want, I think, a Russia-China conflict.
00:25:29.920There's obviously Russia has been driven into China's arms because of all this.
00:25:35.320The sanctions policy that the Obama administration led against Russian oil and gas
00:25:40.420in any trade between Europe and Russia since 2014, when the Obama State Department threw a hissy fit that Russia simply backed the faction of a of of Ukraine that Obama isolated in a coup.
00:25:58.620But effectively, the we blew up the Nord Stream pipeline.
00:26:02.200So Russia is now reconnecting all of its gas through the power of Siberia to pipeline to China.
00:26:07.600So China is getting bargain basement discount prices on Russian gas that could have been cheap gas for Europeans.
00:26:16.540But but the fact is, is there is a significant amount of benefit to an American-Russian partnership.
00:26:22.960In fact, even the Obama, Hillary Clinton folks knew this coming into 2014 when Obama campaigned in 2012 on on saying that the 1980s called they want their foreign policy back.
00:26:36.020When Mitt Romney accused Russia, Obama being soft on Russia, you had Hillary Clinton doing business with Russia through Uranium One.
00:26:45.020So it's going to be absolutely historic.
00:26:48.200Mike Benz, where can people follow you, brother?
00:26:50.840Follow me on X at Mike Benz Cyber, also on YouTube and Rumble.
00:26:55.120Make sure you're following him, folks.
00:30:08.460Obviously, you were focusing on D.C. itself.
00:30:11.400But walk us through the mechanisms and the, really, the circumstances that led to this announcement earlier today.
00:30:19.680Well, you know, of course, the assaults of a federal official, Big Balls, as people know him as, on social media and through mainstream media, getting assaulted.
00:30:28.040I think that's kind of what preempted this maneuver today and the announcement today of federal law enforcement taking over the D.C. police departments.
00:30:36.060But this is something that's been a long time coming.
00:30:38.240With the increasing violence that's been going on in our nation's capital.
00:30:40.960And remember, this is where all great American monuments, the example of American excellence is existing in Washington, D.C.
00:30:48.080When foreign diplomats come here, when big businesses want to come here and invest within our states, in our cities, and throughout the rest of the country,
00:30:55.540they come to D.C. and they want to see American excellence.
00:31:01.620And the erosion of the last 20 to 25 years from D.C. being a symbol of American greatness to now it being a city of lawlessness and crime and murder and assault.
00:31:12.320I mean, we've seen more federal officials, federal staffers that have been assaulted and killed within the last few months more than about any other time throughout American history because of the lawlessness.
00:31:23.300It isn't an associated targeted attack oftentimes.
00:31:26.420It's just the amount of crime per square mile that D.C. deals with on a regular basis.
00:31:33.320And it's been existed more the last six months than probably any other time over the last four years besides 2020.
00:31:40.080Trump continues to see the lawlessness not only in D.C., but in cities like Detroit, Chicago, Los Angeles, Memphis, and other cities where violence is skyrocketing.
00:31:51.980This is how lawlessness is going to be eradicated.
00:31:54.640This is how lawlessness needs to be treated.
00:31:56.820And we need to make an example of Washington, D.C., make it a symbol of American greatness again.
00:32:03.560And if that's not going to happen, then these kind of maneuvers need to be done throughout America.
00:32:07.700There needs to be federal law enforcement, the National Guard, and other avenues used to establish law, safety, and sanity within our cities because if Democratic leadership in these cities and progressive leadership in these cities continue to advocate for defunding the police and a lack of a priority of social justice over human life continues to happen, the same thing that's happening in D.C. today needs to be happening in other cities tomorrow.
00:32:32.160And look, you know, you talk about Washington, D.C., and by the way, so President Trump has the ability to invoke the Home Rule Act for Washington, D.C.
00:32:43.460So, of course, he can go and directly federalize the Metropolitan Police Force, which is completely legal, completely, he's been on the works for 50 years.
00:32:52.080And then you go back even to the Constitution itself.
00:32:54.880Washington, D.C. has always been a federal district.
00:32:58.240However, when you talk about the federal government's ability to fight crime in other big cities, people say, oh, you can't do this.
00:33:09.200Presidents from Lincoln to Eisenhower to Nixon to Johnson all understood that the federal government has a role when crime gets out of control.
00:33:22.860When crime gets out of control, the federal government has a role.
00:33:25.760We have laws from the Insurrection Act to the Organized Crime Control Act, law after law after law that are currently on the books, national emergency laws that the president has at his disposal, as well, by the way, as his ability to come in and say, if a city does not comply with these requirements, a series of new requirements, for example, then you can cut off all federal funding to that city.
00:33:53.660So there's so many ways that the president can do this.
00:33:57.140And I say this as someone who, you know, grew up in the Philadelphia area, not far from Baltimore, not far from New York.
00:34:02.960And I've seen how these once great cities have descended into absolute abject chaos.
00:34:40.920But the current progressive leadership in these cities is exactly what's eroding American society.
00:34:46.040It's what it's eroding America's once great city basis.
00:34:49.380We have got to set a precedent and hopefully the success from this, because I know for a fact, whenever the D.C.
00:34:56.320police union came out today and said, I'm glad this is happening because of the lack of leadership that this city has within its own boundaries.
00:35:04.440And when you have police unions coming out and saying that, I don't want to hear anything about fascism or anything else about the federal takeover.
00:35:23.560Oh, no, I was going to say, and to that point, Kenny, I want to play SOT 1 right now, guys.
00:35:30.740Fight back until you knock the hell out of them, because it's the only language they understand.
00:35:36.400But they fought back against law enforcement last night.
00:35:39.960And they're not going to be fighting back long because I've instructed them and told them, whatever happens, you know, they love to spit in the face of the police.
00:35:53.280As the police are standing up there in uniform, they're standing and they're screaming at them an inch away from their face.
00:36:00.960And then they start spitting in their face.
00:36:04.180And I said, you tell them, you spit and we hit.
00:36:47.340The police have to get in before that takes place.
00:36:50.860Because, Kenny, this is something, man, and I remember, you know, looking back in history, Frank Rizzo, the great Frank Rizzo of Washington, or excuse me, of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
00:37:02.980He, his spirit is now looking down on Washington, D.C.
00:37:13.000It's like what you just said, like Trump says that the police have been disenfranchised for so long and they have been.
00:37:18.680I mean, these progressive cities literally put police departments on the lowest spectrum of priority, the lowest spectrum of respect as they can establish.
00:37:28.600And when that happens, citizens don't respect their police departments anymore.
00:37:32.140Like in Los Angeles, when petty crimes are being allowed to walk freely, like you're allowed to go and rob a convenience store without any sort of penalty because it's the same as a traffic violation.
00:37:41.420I mean, those are the kinds of policies that are the progressive cities and progressive governance is making police departments not be respected at all.
00:37:50.760Like they are thought of so low on the totem pole, like they're from England with just, you know, such a low priority.
00:38:38.480We're going to be removing homeless encampments from all over our parks, our beautiful, beautiful parks, which now a lot of people can't walk on.
00:38:48.040They've been very, very dirty, very, got a lot of problems.
00:39:10.180But they're there getting rid of the people from underpasses and public spaces from all over the city.
00:39:16.700There are many places that they can go, and we're going to help them as much as you can help.
00:39:22.180But they'll not be allowed to turn our capital into a wasteland for the world to see.
00:39:28.140The murder rate in Washington today is higher than that of Bogota, Colombia, Mexico City, some of the places that you hear about as being the worst places on Earth.
00:39:42.200The number of car thefts has doubled over the past five years, and the number of carjackings has more than tripled.
00:39:51.440Our capital city has been overtaken by violent gangs and bloodthirsty criminals, roving mobs of wild youth, drugged-out maniacs and homeless people.
00:40:01.000And we're not going to let it happen anymore.
00:40:27.360The murder rate in Washington today is higher than that of Bogota, Colombia, Mexico City, some of the places that you hear about as being the worst places on Earth.
00:40:47.000The number of car thefts has doubled over the past five years, and the number of carjackings has more than tripled.
00:40:54.640Our capital city has been overtaken by violent gangs and bloodthirsty criminals, roving mobs of wild youth, drugged-out maniacs and homeless people.
00:41:05.000And we're not going to let it happen anymore.
00:42:13.300Kenny Cody, I want to get Kenny back in here because, Kenny, the MAGA movement was born on a golden escalator on Fifth Avenue 10 years ago.
00:42:23.580President Trump, of course, he is Mr. New York.
00:42:26.040He worked with Rudy Giuliani to clean up New York City.
00:42:29.140And you can tell this, and that's why I played the clip twice.
00:42:37.640I think when somebody has worked in real estate and worked in cleaning up New York City for most of his life, I think he has lived in D.C. long enough now in his second term to see something has to change.
00:42:49.320And he's taken over control of a federal district and its police force to clean up our streets.
00:42:53.980He's cleaning up America by deporting illegal immigrants and giving jobs back to Americans.
00:42:58.540And when companies, when foreign diplomats, when a lot of other people come into this country and go to D.C.
00:43:03.920and they look and see the homeless, they look and see crime, they have to be scared for their lives, and they travel in Ubers and taxis throughout the city.
00:43:10.660If they want to go and see a monument, they have to go at a specific hour.
00:43:13.740That shouldn't be how things work anymore, and it shouldn't be how things work in any single metropolitan city in the United States.
00:43:20.060In Chicago, L.A., Memphis, or any other city that has history, that should be an example of American greatness.
00:43:27.500We should not have to look over our shoulder to make sure we're going to get mugged.
00:43:49.700It was once the city where country music and jazz musicians went to thrive and where it was born.
00:43:54.560But now it is a city full of gun crime, progressive leadership that has a higher murder rate than about any other city in America.
00:44:02.060And that's exactly what has happened in the city of Memphis is exactly what's happened in so many other metropolitan areas in the United States.
00:44:07.700And I think if you took Memphis out of Tennessee and you took Memphis, we would be one of the highest ranked states in terms of gun death, in terms of violent crime.
00:44:17.900We'd be one of the safest states in the country because of its leadership and the gun violence that happens there solely because of the progressive leadership.
00:44:26.500They have some of the highest gun restrictions city-wise that there is in the country.
00:44:30.820But because Tennessee has cities that succeed like Nashville, like Knoxville, like Chattanooga that doesn't have high crime rates at all.
00:44:38.040But because we have Memphis, we're ranked among the highest in terms of crime statistics because of one city.
00:44:44.500But that's exactly what has happened in every city of America.
00:44:47.820American greatness, Tennessee greatness, state-by-state greatness is being cast to the side because of progressive leadership and Marxist priority of social justice over actually protecting human life and American greatness on the home front, like you just said.
00:45:00.460And if things like this are polarized, they can clean up their protest.
00:45:03.100I feel the same way coming from the Philadelphia area.
00:45:06.200You know, every 4th of July, people will play, you know, videos or, you know, old John Adams miniseries clips from, you know, the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
00:45:16.000And that's sort of like the Philadelphia, or even if you watch Rocky, you kind of have this vision of Philadelphia.
00:45:22.060But then you go and look at Philly on any, on like the actual 4th of July weekend and it's shootings, it's drive-bys.
00:45:45.900And I'm telling you, man, I just got back from Poland.
00:45:48.400I just got back from Warsaw, which is a huge city.
00:45:53.140And you know what's great about that is they don't, they don't take it at 1.8 million.
00:45:59.220All right, about 2 million people who live in Warsaw, that is a world city by any standard, certainly by Western standards, by Chinese standards, it's nowhere near that large.
00:46:30.280Man, that's something that needs to be prioritized.
00:46:33.380In making America great again, it's about image.
00:46:35.840It's about saving the American people, giving them those opportunities that were not there before.
00:46:40.340And the first thing comes in deporting illegal immigrants and imprisoning criminals that are trashing our cities, that are killing our people, that are taking opportunity away from hardworking Americans.
00:46:52.580And President Trump is doing that and setting that precedent today by federalizing D.C., and it needs to happen to set the precedent for the rest of the country.
00:47:01.860Yeah, by the way, I just pulled it up.
00:47:04.180So Warsaw is bigger than Philadelphia, bigger than Phoenix.
00:47:06.720It would be the fifth largest city in the United States if it was over here.
00:47:10.800And yet less than one murder, one homicide per 100,000, that's the murder rate in Warsaw, 60 times lower than that of Washington, D.C.
