Valuetainment - ＂Let Trump COOK!＂ - Trump FEDERALIZES DC As National Guard Takes CONTROL of Washington

00:00:00.000 Trump takes extraordinary action to crush bloodshed and bid'em in D.C. by seizing control of local police and unleash a National Guard.

00:00:09.860 By the way, I want to show you guys a clip by morning, Joe, after this one here.

00:00:13.740 So here's President Trump talking about what's going on in D.C. Go ahead, Rob.

00:00:18.760 I'm announcing a historic action to rescue our nation's capital from crime, bloodshed, bedlam, and squalor, and worse.

00:00:28.340 This is Liberation Day in D.C., and we're going to take our capital back.

00:00:34.980 We're taking it back under the authorities vested in me as the President of the United States.

00:00:40.960 I'm officially invoking Section 740 of the District of Columbia Home Rule Act.

00:00:46.380 You know what that is?

00:00:47.760 No.

00:00:48.320 And placing the D.C. Metropolitan Police Department under direct federal control,

00:00:54.040 and you'll be meeting the people that will be directly involved with that.

00:00:58.340 Very good people, but they're tough, and they know what's happening.

00:01:05.260 They've done it before.

00:01:06.780 In addition, I'm deploying the National Guard to help reestablish law, order, and public safety in Washington, D.C.,

00:01:15.020 and they're going to be allowed to do their job.

00:01:16.940 Okay, so watch this.

00:01:18.860 Judge Pirro, who is now on there.

00:01:21.220 Rob, I don't know if you have that clip.

00:01:22.280 A young kid tries to call her out, saying, hey, the numbers have been better.

00:01:27.000 Is this that one, Rob, or is this a different one?

00:01:28.360 I'm sorry.

00:01:28.500 This is her warning, young punks.

00:01:30.260 Give me one second.

00:01:30.940 Yeah, there's another one where a young person jumps in and says something.

00:01:34.340 Have you seen this one?

00:01:35.180 She grabs the mic and comes on the side and says, explain that to the kid that just broke his nose and his teeth were smashed in.

00:01:43.680 And explain this to that person, explain that person, she goes after it and says a lot of things.

00:01:49.520 Now, by the way, Hexed comes in and supports the decision, of course, with what the president's doing.

00:01:56.100 We've mobilized the National Guard and have others, specialized units ready to address the D.C. crime.

00:02:02.520 Here he is.

00:02:03.520 Go ahead, Rob.

00:02:04.400 At your direction this morning, we've mobilized the D.C. National Guard.

00:02:08.220 It'll be operationalized by the Secretary of the Army, Dan Driscoll, through the D.C. Guard.

00:02:12.220 You will see them flowing into the streets of Washington in the coming week.

00:02:16.420 At your direction as well, sir, there are other units we are prepared to bring in, other National Guard units, other specialized units.

00:02:23.340 They will be strong, they will be tough, and they will stand with their law enforcement partners.

00:02:28.480 This is nothing new for D.O.D., as the president noted, at the border.

00:02:32.900 We've got 10,000 troops down there who've been operating in defense cooperation areas, defense zones, where there's zero, zero.

00:02:42.060 Illegal crossings because of troops on strikers scanning the border.

00:02:45.580 We've been protecting other people's borders for 20 years.

00:02:48.320 It's about time we protect our own, and we're working with ICE and CBP.

00:02:52.200 In Los Angeles, we did the same thing.

00:02:54.880 Working with the California National Guard.

00:02:56.700 So when you're seeing what's happening here, a lot of the people on the left are calling this authoritarian and what they're doing.

00:03:02.240 However, Morning Joe had to read a text from one of his friends that lives in D.C., and not only does he read the text, but at the same time, while he's going through it, he himself tells him what it was like when he was working in D.C.

00:03:18.820 Watch this here.

00:03:19.540 Go ahead.

00:03:19.840 I want to read you a text from someone who, I won't say their name, but we'll just say that they're very liberal.

00:03:33.660 And he says, this may sound controversial, but I'm not totally opposed to Trump's National Guard move in D.C.

00:03:39.720 I know he's doing it for politics, but crime remains rampant.

00:03:43.240 I've had too many friends carjacked, shot at.

00:03:46.220 None of us will walk more than three blocks after 8 p.m.

00:03:49.800 13-year-olds are committing many of these crimes, quite a change from a decade ago when things were much calmer.

00:03:55.620 Well, that actually sounds like the D.C. that I lived in when I lived a block behind the Supreme Court.

00:04:02.580 And, you know, every three days, one of my neighbors was getting held up at gunpoint.

00:04:07.780 I mean, there has been a crime problem in D.C.

00:04:11.140 So it's pretty bad when you got the other side supporting what's going on there.

00:04:17.520 Vinny, what are your thoughts on this story?

00:04:18.660 Well, first of all, if the mayor of D.C. and the chief of police did their jobs, this wouldn't be happening.

00:04:26.340 And I love the argument of, like, by the way, 2024 was one of the highest murder rates was in Washington, D.C.

00:04:34.160 Yes, the numbers are finally coming down, as if that's an excuse.

00:04:37.020 This year, there's been at least 100 murders.

00:04:39.880 And you're seeing this through both.

00:04:40.840 And they're attacking people that are working in Washington.

00:04:43.460 And there was a clip yesterday where they're talking to the mayor and the chief of police, who is, I think her name is Pamela Smith, I believe.

00:04:50.420 And they asked her, Pat, they're like, so now what's the chain of command?

00:04:53.500 Pam Bondi who?

00:04:54.240 And she goes, what is that?

00:04:55.840 What does that mean?

00:04:57.160 The chief of police in Washington, Rob, if you can find it.

00:05:01.120 Look, she doesn't know what the chain of command is. 1.00

00:05:04.140 Look at this, just real quick.

00:05:06.080 And then the mayor has to jump in.

00:05:08.080 What the chain of command is now?

00:05:10.580 What does that mean?

00:05:11.480 Is Pam Bondi speaking to the mayor of D.C.?

00:05:13.700 Look, she has to leave. 1.00

00:05:14.760 So the executive order is clear.

00:05:17.980 The president has requested NPD services.

00:05:21.880 And our home rule charter outlines the process.

00:05:26.360 The president designated Attorney General Bondi.

00:05:29.820 Bondi's number one.

00:05:30.700 It is his proxy to request services through me.

00:05:34.660 The chief of police doesn't know what the word chain of command is, which is not a good thing.

00:05:39.480 But then yesterday, Rob, I don't think you're going to be able to find it because I had to watch the whole CNN episode.

00:05:43.880 Yes, guys, I watched the whole CNN thing.

00:05:45.960 They did a poll on Abby Phillips' show that the people who live in D.C., Pat, they asked them if they thought crime was low, moderate, or extreme.

00:05:54.920 91% of the poll said it was moderate to extreme.

00:05:58.660 Okay?

00:05:59.080 And I can care less, like I said, about the numbers of 2024.

00:06:02.320 And good.

00:06:03.000 Good that they're coming down.

00:06:03.980 It doesn't mean that they're gone.

00:06:05.220 And then, Rob, I sent you this clip on Slack.

00:06:08.460 Simone Sanders, the girl that took over our friend, Joy Reid's spot, she was asked on Joe Scarborough if she thinks more police are safer on the streets. 0.99

00:06:18.760 You're not going to believe she said as a black woman, she doesn't think so. 1.00

00:06:21.760 Can you play this clip, Rob?

00:06:23.120 You don't think more police make streets safer?

00:06:27.220 No, Joe.

00:06:27.840 I'm a black woman in America.

00:06:29.140 I do not always think that more police make streets safer.

00:06:31.660 She could just end the conversation there.

00:06:34.500 You don't see a police officer on every corner, but you don't feel unsafe.

00:06:37.500 So what is it about talking about places like Southeast D.C., right?

00:06:41.220 Ward 8, if you will, that people say, well, we need more officers to make us safe.

00:06:45.840 I think we have to rethink what safety means in America.

00:06:49.060 I'd love to know how many times she's called 911 in her life.

00:06:53.480 Rethink what safety means in America.

00:06:55.320 Not getting shot at.

00:06:56.500 Let's start there.

00:06:57.360 I love that you said that.

00:06:58.900 So wait, what's she saying?

00:06:59.720 As a black woman in America, more cops, it doesn't make any sense.

00:07:03.780 And by the way, just FYI for everybody out there that's just, you know, they're just reading headlines and stuff.

00:07:07.900 This is a 30-day plan.

00:07:10.900 This is a 30-day, see what's going on.

00:07:12.160 And just yesterday, they arrested almost 25 people.

00:07:15.840 They took a bunch of guns off the street, okay?

00:07:18.000 And remember when we talked about the tariffs?

00:07:19.680 Everybody was tripping out, Tom.

00:07:20.940 And what do we say?

00:07:21.980 Let him cook.

00:07:23.180 Let it happen, okay?

00:07:24.620 We need drastic times to meet drastic measures, okay?

00:07:27.360 And then on top of that, Pat, the White House unveiled a sweeping plan to address the homelessness in D.C., okay?

00:07:34.760 They're going to be physically going up to people that are in encampments, okay?

00:07:38.380 And they're going to tell them, listen, they're going to offer them shelter and services, and if not, they're going to enforce the law.

00:07:44.500 Rob, can you play this clip?

00:07:46.520 ...department with the support of the new federal agencies who have been surging on the streets of the District of Columbia

00:07:53.160 are going to enforce the laws that are already on the books here in Washington, D.C.

00:07:58.180 For far too long, these laws have been completely ignored, and the homelessness problem has ravaged the city.

00:08:04.100 So D.C. Code 22-1307 and D.C. Municipal Regulation 24-100 give the Metropolitan Police Department the authority to take action

00:08:14.060 when it comes to homeless encampments.

00:08:17.380 So homeless individuals will be given the option to leave their encampment, to be taken to a homeless shelter,

00:08:23.980 to be offered addiction or mental health services, and if they refuse, they will be susceptible to fines or to jail time.

00:08:30.660 Okay, Rob, you can stop it. You know what I love, Pat? Enough, like, people just talk.

00:08:35.580 This is not a dictator. This is not authoritarianism. It's in the law. They are stating the law.

00:08:41.320 And talk, the left just has to go opposite. Enough is enough. We just got back from L.A.

00:08:46.780 It looked like a third world country, and my heart goes out. Guys, I get emotional sometimes when I talk to them

00:08:52.540 and I give them money and stuff, and I hate when people are like, well, you're giving them money, what are they going to buy?

00:08:56.620 They're going to just buy drugs. I'm like, they're not going to invest in the S&P 500, all right?

00:09:00.500 I'm not stupid. I'm not stupid.

00:09:02.260 You are correct, sir.

00:09:03.460 But, Tommy, here's my thing. Help them. They're offering them.

00:09:05.760 Like, hey, listen, you can't be here. We're going to put you in a shelter.

00:09:08.800 We're going to try to get you off drugs, and if you say no, that's it.

00:09:12.280 We're going to freaking lock your ass up. Enough is enough. 0.70

00:09:15.060 I love it. He's going after a crime, Tom, and he's going to clean up the streets.

00:09:18.820 By the way, and I have some receipts to go with your passion.

00:09:22.900 Give it.

00:09:23.460 Do you know when the act, the District of Columbia Home Rule Act, started when?

00:09:30.300 December 24th, 1973, it was put in place after unrest, and the federal government had small militias.

00:09:40.120 Now, militia just means a small group of soldiers that were providing security around the district.

00:09:45.180 Why? Because the president of France may show up and do a speech, so they made sure there was security in the district.

00:09:50.380 Well, things were starting to get out of control, so they said stop.

00:09:53.460 We want to, and there's also residents here.

00:09:56.060 So on December 24th, 1973, they passed the District of Columbia Home Rule Act to give them the ability to, quote, limited self-autonomy.

00:10:05.940 And they inserted Section 740 that said, but if you get out of hand, we, the government, who have been governing this since way back when, when they burned down the White House, when the police burned down the White House and it was attacked, it was the military protecting the city.

00:10:21.040 And in 1973, December 24th, this part I'm not sure about, but I think Santa Claus got slay-jacked.

00:10:27.180 And so they said, we've got to do this.

00:10:29.060 But December 24th, 1973 is when it happened.

00:10:31.460 They put this, and they put Section 740 in there.

00:10:34.340 So for everybody that's saying President Trump is authoritarian, no, he's not.

00:10:39.120 They're opening this up and saying crime is out of control.

00:10:42.200 We have a provision here that if you couldn't get your squat together and take care of the city with your own police force and governance, we were going to step back in because we ran the place for 154 years before we put this act in place and gave you the ability to govern the citizens that lived in the little suburbs that were close in.

00:10:59.280 So I think everybody that's trying to make this political about authoritarianism, why don't you go back and read the act and look at why it was created, where it was created, and then look at Joe Scarborough, no friend of Trump, saying, yeah, it was pretty bad where I lived and I was only a block behind the Supreme Court.

00:11:16.460 Adam.

00:11:17.460 Well, defend the police.

00:11:20.740 Don't defund the police.

00:11:22.300 I know we had a little play on words last episode, but Trump came out, and when he first came out, he said, we're going to be the party of law and order, and guess what?

00:11:32.220 I alone can fix it.

00:11:34.260 Do you remember that?

00:11:35.060 And I remember 10 years ago I'm being like, what a narcissist.

00:11:38.520 You alone can fix it, Trump, Donald Trump, 2025.

00:11:42.240 You alone, please fix it.

00:11:44.160 Please.

00:11:44.600 Because the last thing we need is our capital of the United States, Washington, D.C., turning into a ghost zombie land full of homeless drug addicts, and I'm just talking about the Congress people.

00:11:57.060 So let's clean this act up.

00:12:01.820 Do you remember what happened in New York City in the 90s?

00:12:04.260 We had a guy named Rudy Giuliani, and he cleaned up the streets.

00:12:08.080 He cleaned up the mafia.

00:12:09.100 He basically, what was it, the, what did he use to stop the mob?

00:12:14.280 Rico.

00:12:14.580 What was it?

00:12:14.840 The Rico Act.

00:12:15.900 Rico Suave.

00:12:17.340 Hey, Rico.

00:12:18.320 And that's what needs to be.

00:12:18.840 Started with a longshoreman, went inland.

00:12:20.740 There you go.

00:12:21.540 And that needs to be done in D.C.

00:12:23.180 If there's one city we need in America that doesn't look like an absolute hellhole, it might as well be the capital of the United States.

00:12:30.160 I said this last episode, because we've spent a lot of time in D.C., it's suits by day, sirens by night.

00:12:35.460 Anyone you talk to goes, oh, no, no, no, no, no, when the sun sets, get the hell out of here.

00:12:39.860 Don't walk around D.C.

00:12:40.960 Did you see what Dana Bash said, Pat, about complaining about Trump cleaning up D.C.?

00:12:45.040 Dana Bash said the most violent day was January 6th.

00:12:48.820 That was her, that was her, can you play, it's really very, very short.

00:12:52.380 Look at, she's reading something.

00:12:53.280 The most violent moment in recent history in D.C. was January 6th.

00:12:59.540 That's what she's worried about.

00:13:00.280 It was an attack on the United States Capitol by a lot of people who were doing it in the name of Donald Trump.

00:13:05.840 And it included the people who were hurt, included members of London.

00:13:09.640 Well, the reality of it is, she can say that all she wants.

00:13:12.520 A report just came from Western Journal.

00:13:14.620 Ma'am, it's a long pastime.

00:13:17.520 Ex-capital chief police hits Pelosi with three damning memories after she criticized Trump on D.C. National Guard use.

00:13:27.980 Nancy Pelosi, Donald Trump delayed deploying the National Guard on January 6th when our Capitol was under violent attack and lives were at stake.

00:13:38.320 Now he's activating D.C. Guard to distract his incompetent mishandling of tariffs, health care, education, immigration, just to name a few blunders.

00:13:45.400 And Chief Steven Sund responds.

00:13:47.180 Watch this, Vinny.

00:13:48.500 Ma'am, it's long past time.

00:13:49.820 To be honest with American people, on January 3rd, I requested National Guard assistance, but your sergeant at arms denied it.

00:13:56.500 Under federal law, I was prohibited from calling them in without specific approval the same day Carol Corbin at the Pentagon offered National Guard support.

00:14:06.820 But I was forced to decline because I lacked the legal authority.

00:14:10.740 On January 6th, while the Capitol was under attack and despite my repeated calls, your sergeant at arms again denied my urgent request for over 70 agonizing minutes.

00:14:21.020 Running it up the chain for your approval.

00:14:24.520 When I needed assistance, it was denied.

00:14:27.020 Yet when it suited you, you ordered fencing top with concertina wire.

00:14:32.700 Barbar.

00:14:33.380 And surrounded the Capitol with thousands of armed National Guard troops.

00:14:38.160 I mean, this is the part about how be patient.

00:14:41.300 Time is going to reveal truth.

00:14:43.340 A lot of people are getting exposed with things that are going on right now.

00:14:46.620 And I love the fact that they're doing this right now in D.C.

00:14:49.440 There's no way in the world the Capitol, the Capitol that we live in of the greatest country in the world should be unsafe.

00:14:56.500 It should be the safest place in the world.

00:14:59.200 For sure.

00:14:59.480 And I'm glad they're working on making that happen.

00:15:01.520 August 27th.

00:15:03.020 At our property here, okay, in a hangar, at our, you know, property that we have in Fort Lauderdale, our headquarters.

00:15:09.920 We're holding a special networking opportunity.

00:15:12.960 A lot of you guys keep saying, Pat, I want to come see the property.

00:15:16.300 I want to come see the property.

00:15:17.660 Most people don't know this.

00:15:18.600 We're building the biggest futsal field right now.

00:15:21.280 That is 3,000 feet, square feet bigger than the biggest futsal field.

00:15:26.160 The traditional ones that you see.

00:15:27.660 We're building one right now.

00:15:28.620 What's a futsal field?

00:15:29.840 Futsal field.

00:15:30.820 Anyways, the people that know, they know.

00:15:32.320 I don't understand.

00:15:33.880 No, no, no.

00:15:34.620 Listen.

00:15:35.300 So we're building it here.

00:15:36.340 We're doing a bunch of different things on our property.

00:15:38.200 We want to give some of the people an opportunity to come and see the property.

00:15:41.880 And some of you guys, I want to give you a tour when you come down here.

00:15:44.480 So here's what we're doing.

00:15:45.560 August 27th.

00:15:47.120 Anybody that's bought a vault ticket, that's going to the vault conference, that's out of South Florida.

00:15:53.140 You can be from anywhere if you want to come participate.

00:15:55.720 But specifically for the people that are in Florida, if you bought a ticket, general, you're invited.

00:16:01.340 Our team will give you a, you'll be able to network with others.

00:16:05.040 Platinum and executive ticket holders.

00:16:10.000 Founder and CEO ticket holders, I'm going to give you a tour of the property.

00:16:15.200 Myself.

00:16:15.640 I'm going to show you exactly everything that we're doing here.

00:16:17.980 But you have to be a ticket holder.

00:16:19.940 And if you haven't bought the tickets yet, you have to see what we're going to have our center car outside the Formula One that we bought, the 1989 one.

00:16:25.960 We have a lot of things you'll see what we're doing behind closed doors.

00:16:28.720 This year's vault conference is going to be absolutely epic.

00:16:32.000 If you're somebody that's got big plans, second half of the, I keep telling this to people, do not go through this year by yourself.

00:16:38.980 This is the worst year to go into 2026 without getting the strategies that others are having.

00:16:44.920 By far the worst.

00:16:46.460 Whether it's AI, human nature, real estate, insurance, finance, raising capital, networking with others.

00:16:53.160 Myself, Tony Robbins, Martha Stewart, David Falk at the number one business conference of the year that teaches you what to do when you leave.

00:16:59.600 It's not like rah-rah motivation.

00:17:01.260 Here's how we do this.

00:17:02.340 300-page manual that will be given to everybody.

00:17:04.900 If you haven't yet bought your ticket, go to the vaultconference.com.

00:17:08.100 Buy your ticket.

00:17:09.420 Then, Rob, if you can put the link below for the people that have already bought a ticket.

00:17:13.520 Because you've got to register.

00:17:14.200 Because it's only for the first 200.

00:17:15.680 We're not doing it with 2,000 people showing up here.

00:17:18.280 First 200 register.

00:17:19.680 Locked in.

00:17:20.180 That's it.

00:17:20.440 Each person that bought a ticket, you'll get to bring one person with you to see the tour.

00:17:24.920 Whether they have a ticket or not, it's not a problem.

00:17:26.980 But the first 200 register, you'll be able to come join us.

00:17:29.320 You just have to prove to us that you bought a ticket and our team will verify that.

00:17:32.600 Rob, what is the link for them to go to register for this?

00:17:34.800 Is there a link that you have for it?

00:17:36.140 It's actually pinned inside of the chat on YouTube.

00:17:39.520 Okay, but is there a link for it for people that are only listening to audio?

00:17:43.660 Like if it's in different places?

00:17:45.500 Not that I'm aware of.

00:17:46.560 I can look and find it.

00:17:47.520 Well, I would say maybe send an email to info at vt.com.

00:17:50.200 Send an email to info at vt.com and they'll send back over to you.

00:17:53.240 But if you don't, it's a link on Spotify and on YouTube.

00:17:56.200 You'll be able to get to it to learn what that is all about.

00:17:59.060 I'm looking forward to seeing many of you here.
