‘TREMENDOUS CREDIT’: Democrat applauds Trump’s crime crackdown in DC

JESSE? >> Jesse: ALL RIGHT, CB, THANK YOU SO MUCH. AND NOW, OVER TO TRUMP’S LAW AND ORDER CRACK DOWN. 81% OF AMERICANS SAY CRIME IN LARGE CITIES AS A MAJOR PROBLEM, AND THAT SUMMIT ST. PAUL HAS PRESIDENT TRUMP’S APPROVAL AT 83%. BUT THOSE DEMOCRATS AT SUMMER CAMP SAY THAT VIOLENCE DOESN’T MATTER. >> DON’T TAKE THE BAIT IN TALKING ABOUT MIGRANT CRIME OR CARJACKINGS, THE THINGS THAT ACTUALLY DON’T MATTER TO THAT MANY AMERICANS. >> Jesse: BUT ABOUT THOSE CARJACKINGS, D.C.’S DEMOCRAT MAYOR MURIEL BOWSER HAS BEEN A THORN IN TRUMP’S SIDE OVER THE NATIONAL TROOPS IN OUR CITY, BUT EVEN SHE HAD TO ADMIT TRUMP’S RIGHT ABOUT EVERYTHING. >> THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THIS PERIOD, THIS 20-DAY PERIOD OF THIS FEDERAL SURGE AND LAST YEAR REPRESENTS AN 87% REDUCTION IN CARJACKINGS IN WASHINGTON, D.C. WE KNOW THAT WHEN CARJACKINGS GO DOWN, WHEN USE OF GUN GOES DOWN, WHEN HOMICIDE OR ROBBERY GO DOWN, NEIGHBORHOODS FEEL SAFER AND ARE SAFER. >> Jesse: SO, BRI, IN THE MIDST OF THIS CRIME CRACKDOWN WE HAVE ONE OF THE MOST HEINOUS KIND TO EVER SEEN, CHILDREN SLAUGHTERED IN A CHURCH. >> Brian: I MEAN, THEN YOU SEE THIS MANIFESTO, AND I GUESS WE ARE WAITING FOR IT TO VERIFY, BUT IT LOOKS LIKELY TO BE VERIFIED, WITH HORRIBLE THINGS HE SAID, KILL TRUMP, A WHOLE BUNCH OF THINGS, JESUS SITTING IN THE TARGET, SITTING, ONE OF THE LINES WAS, “I DIDN’T ASK TO BE BORN AND THEY DIDN’T ASK TO DIE.” I MEAN, THIS GUY IS SO TWISTED — OR BECAME A WOMAN, WHATEVER YOU WANT TO CALL HIM — THEY’VE GOT TO LOOK — THIS IS, AGAIN, SIMILAR TO THE TENNESSEE SITUATION ONLY WE HAVE A DIFFERENT ADMINISTRATION. THEY HOLD ONTO THAT MANIFESTO FOR OVER A YEAR. THAT WAS ANOTHER TRANS TUITION. WHAT KIND OF DRUGS, IS THERE SOME THING TO BE LEARNED BY THE TYPE OF TRANSITION DRUGS HE MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE BEEN ON AS THEY MADE THIS MOVE, I GUESS OFFICIALLY, THE MOM HAD TO SIGN HIM ON IN 2019 AT THE AGE OF 17, SO I THINK WE NEED TO KNOW IF THAT’S PLAYING A ROLE AND IF ANYBODY IS SAFE AS THEY ARE GOING THROUGH THIS MENTAL BREAKDOWN. SO I THINK THAT FOR THAT MAYOR TO COME OUT AND WORRY ABOUT THE TRANS COMMUNITY AND NOT WORRY ABOUT THE CATHOLIC COMMUNITY, THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH, THE FAMILIES, THAT THEY ARE GOING TO COME HE’S WORRIED ABOUT PEOPLE IN THE TRANS COMMUNITY, MY GOODNESS, I’M MORE WORRIED ABOUT WHAT’S GOING ON THE NEXT TIME A GRAMMAR SCHOOL COULD WANTS TO GO TO CHURCH TO PRAY THAT HE’S GOING TO HAVE A GOOD YEAR. IN TERMS OF MURIEL BOWSER, I MEAN, I GOT TO GIVE HER CREDIT. SHE CAME OUT AND GAVE TRUMP SHE SAYS, LOOK, THIS HAS WORKED. IT’S HELPING ME. IF YOUR GOAL TRULY IS A MAYOR — HAROLD COME YOU TALK ABOUT THIS ALL THE TIME — YOUR GOAL IS TO MAKE YOUR CITY BETTER WHERE YOU GOT ELECTED, YOU DON’T DO THAT JOB TO GET RICH, YOU DO IT TO MAKE PEOPLE’S LIVES BETTER AND SHE IS SAYING THIS GUY HELPED. SHE ALSO POINTED OUT THE SINCERITY THAT THE PRESIDENT HAS IN MAKING HER CITY SAFE AND HOW WELL HE KNOWS THIS CITY AND TALKED ABOUT DEALING WITH SUSIE WILES AND PAM BONDI, POSITIVE SITUATION. I THINK THAT CHICAGO, NEW YORK SHOULD TAKE A LOOK AT THIS AND MAYBE TAKE A STEP BACK. >> Jesse: HAROLD, YOUR NAME WAS MENTIONED DURING THAT COMMENTARY. WOULD YOU LIKE TO SAY ANYTHING? >> Harold: SURE, I MEAN — GOOD TO BE BACK, BRIAN, I SAID HELLO, WE WERE TALKING ABOUT HEALTH MATTERS, GOOD TO BE WITH YOU TODAY. I THINK PRESIDENT TRUMP DESERVES TREMENDOUS CREDIT FOR WHAT HE IS DOING IN WASHINGTON. HE DOESN’T HAVE THE SAME AUTHORITY IN CHICAGO AND NEW YORK. OUR COMMISSIONER HERE, JESSICA TIFT, SHE IS DOING A PHENOMENAL JOB, COLLABORATION WITH YOU. I LISTEN TO THE PRESIDENT — HE SAID SOMETHING WE HAVE ALSO AROUND THIS TABLE THE LAST FEW — WE NEED MORE PROSECUTORS OF VIOLENT CRIME, AREAS WHERE THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT CAN TAKE OVER THINGS THEY SHOULD BE IN THE BUSINESS OF COLLABORATED TO TAKE IT OVER BUT I WOULD BE REMISS IF I DIDN’T SAY SOMETHING ABOUT MINNEAPOLIS. IT’S A TRAGEDY. I DON’T KNOW IF IT IS THE DRUGS THESE KIDS ARE USING OR NOT, BUT ONE THING WE KNOW, THE COMMON DOMINATOR AND ALL OF THIS IS GUNS. I’M NOT A BIG GUIDE TO SAY — I’M NOT VAGUE ABOUT GUNS THIS OR GUNS THAT, BUT AT SOME LEVEL, THE SANCTITY AND THE MISAPPLICATION OF THE SECOND AMENDMENT CAN SUPERSEDE EVERY CONVERSATION ABOUT THE LIVES OF OUR KIDS, THE LIVES OF OUR FAMILY MEMBERS. MY KIDS GO TO A CHURCH-AFFILIATED SCHOOL, AND THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL IS IN A WEEK. I CAN’T IMAGINE A CHAPEL, SOMETHING LIKE THIS HAPPENING. I WOULDN’T WANT THIS TO HAPPEN TO ANYONE. THE COMMON DENOMINATOR IN EVERYONE IS NOT TRANSGENDER, IT IS NOT THIS OR THAT, IT’S A GUN. NOW THERE MAY BE SOME OTHER COMMONALITIES, BUT WHAT I ENCOURAGE PRESIDENT TRUMP TO DO. HE HAS DONE SO MANY HUGE THINGS AND CHALLENGED SO MANY THINGS THAT WE THOUGHT WERE IN MOVABLE. HE’S CHALLENGED BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP. I’M NOT SURE I’M THERE WITH HIM ALTOGETHER, BUT I GET THE CONVERSATION BECAUSE I’M NOT CONVINCED THAT’S WHAT THE FRAMERS THOUGHT OF BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP, AS WE THINK ABOUT WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH MIGRANTS AND OUR COUNTRY TODAY. THE PRESIDENT ALSO SAID I’M GOING TO TAKE OVER CERTAIN THINGS IN THIS COUNTRY, THAT DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS — HE’S TALKING ABOUT ATTACKING CARTELS IN MEXICO. I WOULD ENCOURAGE THE PRESIDENT TO BRING TOGETHER GUN MANUFACTURERS, MUNITION MAKERS, POLITICIANS, POLICYMAKERS, AND HAVE A REAL CONVERSATION THERE AT THE WHITE HOUSE, LIKE YOU DO WITH FOREIGN LEADERS COME ABOUT WHAT MORE WE CAN BE DOING TO MAKE SURE THAT THE PEOPLE WHO SHOULD NOT BE GETTING GUNS, LIKE THIS KID, WHATEVER HE HAS DONE, WHATEVER HE DID, HE WANTED TO BE OR NOT WANT TO BE, HE WAS MENTALLY OFF. WE’VE GOT TO FIGURE OUT A BETTER WAY TO DEAL WITH THIS THEN WE ARE. >> Jesse: DO YOU THINK THERE COULD HAVE BEEN SOMETHING DONE IF SOMEONE CHANGES THEIR NAME AND THINKS THEY ARE ANOTHER GENDER, WOULD YOU NOT HAVE THEM HAVE ACCESS TO WEAPONS? >> Kennedy: NO, I THINK THERE ARE TRANS PEOPLE WHO ARE STOCKED, AND THEY ARE TERRORIZED, AND THEY WORRY ABOUT THEIR OWN SELF PROTECTION, AND THEY DESERVE TO PROTECT THEMSELVES. I WORRY ABOUT SOMEONE WHO HAS EVER GONE TO THE DOCTOR AND SAYS, YOU KNOW, I FEEL A LITTLE ANXIOUS, CAN YOU PRESCRIBE ME SOME XANAX FOR A PLANE, AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THEIR NAME GOES ON SOME FEDERAL DATABASE, YEAH, AND THEY CAN NEVER GET A WEAPON TO DEFEND THEMSELVES. THERE ARE PLENTY OF LAWS KEEPING GOOD PEOPLE FROM BUYING GUNS AND AMMUNITION. YOU KNOW, WE TALKED TO JOE, OUR LOCAL SPORTING GOODS GUY, AND, YOU KNOW, HE’S FURIOUS THAT PEOPLE WHO DESERVE TO PROTECT THEMSELVES AND THEIR FAMILIES, FOR PEOPLE WHO ENJOY A SPORTING LIFE, THAT THEY ARE NOT CAPABLE TO GO IN AND BUY A WEAPON WITHOUT SOME SORT OF REGISTRY. YES, THIS PERSON IS MENTALLY ILL. IT’S NOT THE TRANS PART, IT’S THE PART THAT HE WAS ABSOLUTELY, COMPLETELY EVIL, AND IN PLACES LIKE MINNESOTA, THEY DO HAVE RED FLAG LAWS, AND HIS PARENTS SHOULD’VE KNOWN, AND PARENTS SHOULD BE NOSY, ABSOLUTELY, BUT, YOU KNOW, I WISH THERE WAS SOMEONE THERE TO PUT A BULLET BETWEEN THIS LITTLE A-HOLE’S EYES BEFORE HE WAS ABLE TO PULL A TRIGGER. THE ONLY SOLACE I HAVE IS WHEN HE TOOK HIS OWN COWARDLY LIFE — WHICH HE SHOULD HAVE DONE IN THE PARKING LOT BEFORE HE GOT OUT OF HIS CAR — IS THAT HE WOKE UP IN HELL. THAT IS THE ONLY COMFORT I HAVE. AND TAKING GUNS AWAY FROM GOOD PEOPLE WHO DESERVE SELF PROTECTION, I’M SORRY, IT’S NOT THE ANSWER. >> Harold: I’M NOT SAYING TAKE IT AWAY. I’M SAYING WE OUGHT TO HAVE LONGER CHECKS FOR THINGS LIKE THIS. NOT EVEN SAYING PEOPLE — I AGREE WITH YOU. PEOPLE WHO ASK FOR SOME XANAX TO GO ON A PLANE OR TO DO SOMETHING, THAT’S TOTALLY DIFFERENT. WE NEED TO HAVE A LONGER BACKGROUND PERIOD TO INVESTIGATE ALL OF THESE THINGS. IF IT MEANS WE INCONVENIENCED SOMEONE WHO WANTS TO FLY TEN PEOPLE, 100 PEOPLE, PREVENT THESE KINDS OF THINGS, THAT’S ALL I’M SAYING, WE HAVE A CONVERSATION. I’M NOT SAYING LIMIT, I’M SAYING LET’S INVESTIGATE FURTHER. >> Jesse: AND THERE MAY BE A NEXUS BETWEEN MENTAL ILLNESS AND THE TRANS SITUATION. IS PERSON WAS SUICIDAL, DEPRESSED, AND WE HAVE SEEN A FEW CASES WITH ANTIFA AND SOME OF THESE MASS SHOOTERS, THEY ARE TRANSGENDER, AND THEY ARE VERY, VERY ANGRY AND VIOLENT AND DELUSIONAL. >> Emily: WELL, AND YOU CAN’T RULE THAT OUT, SO I THINK COMING INTO THE CONVERSATION IMMEDIATELY AND FOCUSING ON ONLY ONE ASPECT OF IT WILL DENY ANY TYPE OF SOLUTION TO THAT PROBLEM THAT YES, WE ARE CLEARLY SEEING A SICKNESS INFILTRATE OUR SOCIETY, AND IT IS CERTAINLY NOT HELPED BY SOCIAL MEDIA AND SORT OF A REWARD FOR THIS VIOLENCE THAT’S ONLINE, OFTEN, WITH THIS. I ECHO EVERYTHING THAT YOU SAY, KENNEDY, SO I’D LIKE TO FOR A MOMENT FOCUS ON D.C. BECAUSE IMMEDIATELY AFTER THIS UNFATHOMABLE TRAGEDY, THERE WERE THOSE AND D.C. THAT SOUGHT TO POLITICIZE THIS AGAINST PRESIDENT TRUMP GOODING THE FORMER PRESS SECRETARY FOR BIDEN. I WANT TO TALK ABOUT THERE WAS A WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT, AND SHE OBVIOUSLY COVERED THE WHITE HOUSE, LIVED IN D.C. COMMITTED 8:30 A.M. IN THE MORNING SHE WAS ROBBED AT GUNPOINT, AND SHE REFUSED TO GIVE UP HER CELL PHONE BECAUSE SHE KNEW ON THAT CELL PHONE WERE THESE SOURCES, THESE SOURCES THAT SHE HAD SWORN TO SORT OF PROTECT, AND SHE FELT IT WAS HER DUTY TO PREVENT THAT FROM FALLING INTO THE WRONG HANDS, AND SO HER ASSAILANT PISTOL-WHIPPED HER. THIS IS A YOUNG WOMAN COME AT 8:30 IN THE MORNING, IN FRONT OF HER APARTMENT, AND AFTER THAT, THANK GOD SHE WAS LEFT WITH HER LIFE INTACT. POLICE SAID THEY HAD AN IDEA OF WHO IT WAS, THEY SAW HIM GO INTO ANOTHER APARTMENT, AND THEN WHAT HAPPENED? NOTHING. SO CUT TO TWO YEARS LATER, SHE IS OBVIOUSLY TRAUMATIZED, NO LONGER WALKS IN HER OWN CITY. SHE GREW UP IN NEW YORK CITY, BY THE WAY. SHE WAS STREET-SMART, SHE CALLED HERSELF. SHE TOOK UBER EVERYWHERE BECAUSE OF THAT. SHE COULDN’T EVEN TELL HER GRANDPARENTS BECAUSE OF THE HORRIFICNESS OF THE SITUATION. THE POINT IS THAT WHEN PEOPLE ASK HER IS D.C. SAFE? WE HAVE HEARD THE STATS ARE DOWN. I DON’T KNOW ABOUT STATISTICS BUT LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT MY EXPERIENCE. AND HER POINT IN THIS BEAUTIFUL OP-ED IS THAT YOU CANNOT IMPOSE UPON ALL OF THOSE INDIVIDUALS THAT LIVE IN D.C. AND LIVE IN CHICAGO AND LIVE IN THESE AREAS, YOUR STATISTICS THEN YOU READ ABOUT IN PAPERS OR THAT YOU ACCEPT WITHOUT QUESTIONS FROM THE METROPOLITAN POLICE DEPARTMENT THAT SAYS OH, BUT LOOK, VIOLENCE IS DOWN, BECAUSE EVEN IF THERE IS ONE VIOLENCE, THERE IS 30,000 INCIDENTS REPORTED OF VIOLENCE LAST YEAR IN D.C., AND EVERY ONE OF THOSE IS AN IRIS TAO. IT IS A HORRIFYING GENERATIONAL TRAUMA THAT THE FAMILIES UNDERGO TO. AND FINAL QUIT POINT THAT SHE MADE, WHICH IS THAT SHE IS NOW PREGNANT, WHICH IS INCREDIBLE, AND SHE IS MOVING AWAY D.C. WITH HER HUSBAND BECAUSE THERE’S NO WAY IN HELL, SHE SAYS, THEY ARE RAISING THEIR CHILD IN D.C. UNLESS AND UNTIL THE PRESIDENT CAN CLEAN IT UP. AND IF THERE’S ANYONE THAT CAN, IT IS HIM. >> Jesse: THAT’S A VERY POWERFUL STORY AND WE ARE PRAYING FOR THE VICTIMS AND THEIR FAMILIES IN MINNEAPOLIS. UP NEXT, A TALE OF TWO ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS. THE MEDIA WON’
