The Art of the Deal Meets the War on Crime as Trump goes on Law-and-Order Blitz · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Well, Donald Trump, when he ran for president, what did
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: he say to America? He promised he was going to
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: be the law and order president, and he said he
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: was going to secure the southern border. He said he
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: was going to clean up the violent criminals that had
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: come into this country that were legal immigrants, the worst
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: among us. The rapists, the child molesters, the sex traffickers,
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: the human smugglers, the drug dealers, the murderers. The list
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: goes on and on. The President has been doing that
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: even while Democrats are putting criminals and illegal immigrants ahead
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: of American citizens. Now, I'm not even sure the president
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: thought he was going to be able to secure the
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: board the way that he has been able to do
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: it in such a record setting time. And one of
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: the big perks of being able to secure the border
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: so quickly, is it the President United States America said immediately, Okay,
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: what's next? Insert Washington, DC. Washington, DC crime is no
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: doubt out of control. I've talked about this before in DC.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: I was there a couple weeks ago and the dorman,
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: the bellman, said to me, Hey, I got there and
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: they lost my bag, and I was like great, I
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: need like basic toilet trees and stuff. So I was like, hey,
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: is there like a Walgreen CBS. Now, I wonder what
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: you understand, saying I am one and a half blocks
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: from the White House, and he said, oh, up the
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: corner pass Old Ebbitt on the right, up there there's
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: a CBS.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: Perfect go to the CVS.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: I get to the CBS and everything, and I mean
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: everything is locked up. They had the deodorant locked up.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: That costs I don't know, four eighty six for a
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: stick of deodorant. That is how bad crime is in Washington,
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: d C. That you have to lock up deodorant. I
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: then went over the toothpaste because I was gonna get
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: toothpaste that was locked up as well. The toothbrushes were
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: locked up. And then I needed a razor.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: They were locked up.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: You literally couldn't buy any toiletries that I needed without
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: hitting a button. And then an intercom system saying customer
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: needs help on Aisle four at razors or whatever it said,
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: or deodorant. That is how out of control crime was
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: in DC. Now who was committing the crimes? A lot
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: of the crime was actually coming by juveniles. Juveniles had
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: not been held accountable for their actions under Bowser. Now,
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: you would think that Mayor Bowser would be in favor
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: of having a safe city because she's the same woman
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: that's obsessed with Black lives matter. Right, it's the same
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: city that painted a street black Lives Matter going to
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: the White House. This is a city right where Black
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: Lives Matter was everything. Well, if black lives actually mattered,
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: then you would probably try to, like, I don't know,
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: stop the murders and the killing and the beating and
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: the attacks and the stealing from African Americans. If African
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: Americans matter, you would think this would be, like, I
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: don't know, a top priority, which is where we lead
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: to Donald Trump's brilliance. Donald Trump understands that it's actually
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: not that hard to fight crime. You catch criminals, you
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: arrest them, you prosecute them, and you don't let them
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: out of jail. Now we know that George Brows and
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: his money gave us a ton of what we would
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: describe as activist das. I describe them as anarchists in
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: law enforcement. Their job is simple, let the criminals out,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: don't hold them accountable, don't even keep them in jail,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: even when they're committing hainous crimes and empty out the prisons,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: because what Soros and the Left want is prison reform
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: and bail reform. They want to make sure that if
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: you commit a crime and you have a certain skin color, especially,
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: you're not held accountable. They want to make sure that
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: if you commit a Hanus crime and you're African American,
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: you don't have a lot of money, that you can
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: just disappear and walk straight out of that courtroom and
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: give cash us bail, because they believe it's racist for
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: you to have to put up money when you commit
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: heinous crimes. This is the Democratic Party. And so what
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump saw in Washington, d C. Was an opportunity.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: It wasn't just an opportunity to clean up DC. That
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: you have to understand. Donald Trump was playing chess while
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: these other idiot mayors were playing checkers. What Donald Trump
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: understood is number one, the city where our nation's capital
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: is should be safe. We have millions and millions of
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: tourists to go there. We have people that have to
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: go to Washingt d C.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: To do their job. If you were in Congress, for example.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: And so the President clearly understood that his goal was
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: to clean up a city, and he knew he could
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: do it with the help of law enforcement in allowing
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: them to actually do their job. There was also a
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: second part of the equation, and this goes back to
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: playing chess while others are playing checkers.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: This is the art of the deal, is another way
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: of putting it.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: The President of the United States of America also knew
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: that if you wanted to prove a point that you
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: can clean up cities like Memphis, my hometown where I
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: was born and raised, Chicago, Saint Louis, New Orleans, Baltimore,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: New York City, New Jersey, San Francisco, La, Denver, the Detroit.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: The list goes on and on of high crime major cities. Now,
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: if there's one thing that's in common with all these
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: high crime cities, they're all run by Democrats. They have
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: the majority of the city council or the border aldermen
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: in the mayor's offices.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: Go look at the top.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: Twenty most dangerous cities in America, and they are all
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: run by the Democratic Party. In fact, if you put
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: into Google right now, top twenty most dangerous cities, go
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: look at them from US News. Look at the numbers,
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: look at what they tell you. The most dangerous cities.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: Memphis number one, Democratic run, Saint Louis number two, run
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: by Democrats, Little Rock number three run by democrats, Minneapolis
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: number four run by democrats, Detroit number five run by
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: Democrat majority. There, Kansas City Democratic majority there, New Orleans
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: Democratic majority there at seven, Cleveland Democratic majority there number eight,
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: Birmingham Democratic majority. City number nine that is in Houston
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: comes at number ten, Democratic run city, Milwaukee at eleven,
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: Democratic run city, Orlando Democratic run city at twelve. Like
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: you noticed, there's a trend here, right, There's a pattern here.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: Baltimore thirteen, most sederors city in America?
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: What are they? Run by democrats?
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: Atlanta run by democrats fourteen, Stockton Democrats run the place fifteen,
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: New York sixteen run by democrats, Phoenix run by Democrats
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: at seventeen, Los Angeles at eighteen, Las Vegas at nineteen,
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: all run by Democrats, and finally Miami run by Democrats.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: So if you will at the numbers, and that's not
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: the murder rate, that was just dangerous cities, you go
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: to the murder rate, same thing's gonna happen, going to
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: be very close to the same order that I just
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: mentioned there and so the president I tips in America said, Okay,
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: if I can federalize and take over law enforcement and
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: restore law and order very quickly in washing DC, this
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: is going to put Democrats on the defensive in all
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: these other cities because I'm going to make it clear
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: in those other cities that I am willing to come
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: in and do the same exact thing that we just
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: did in DC with federal resources. In your city. All
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: you need is your mayor to say, please come and help.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: I want to talk to you about my friends over
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: at Patriot Mobile. You've got a lot of choices for
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: cell phone service, with new ones popping up all the time.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: But if you want to make a difference and you
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: want to stop giving your money to liberal companies, well
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: one way you can do that is by getting rid
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: of Liberal mobile you probably have right now. That is
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: where hundreds of thousands of Americans are now coming together
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: and have made Patriot Mobile what they are today. They've
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: been in service now thirteen years, and right now is
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: the best time ever to switch because it's never been easier. Now,
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: before I tell you about that, I want you to
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: know why switching is so important, because every time you
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: make a call, every time you send a text, and
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: every time that you pay your bill, you're actually standing
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: up for the values you believe in. Your First and
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: your Second Amendment rights, the rights of unborn children, and
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: you stand with our military, our veterans, our wounded warriors,
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: and our fallen soldier families. Because Patriot Mobile takes about
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: five percent of your bill every month at no extra
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: cost to you, and they give it back to these
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: organizations that fight for our values. Now, let's talk about switching.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: It has never been easier. You can keep your same number,
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: keep your same phone, or upgrade. Patriot Mobile's got a
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: one hundred percent US based customer service team and literally
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: they can now with technology, get you activated in minutes
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: from the comforty your home or your office. You're second
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: to contractor owe money on your phones, no worries. Patriot
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: Mobile has a contract buyout program. And this is how
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: we win, folks by aligning our spinning with our values.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: Every dollar we spend matters. Now, let me also give
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: you a free month of service. Go to Patriot Mobile
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: dot com slash ferguson. That's Patriot Mobile dot com slash ferguson,
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: or you can call them nine to seven to two Patriot.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: Use the promo code ferguson, and you're gonna get one
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: month free service by switching today. So again, patriotmobile dot
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: com slash ferguson. Use the promo code ferguson. You'll get
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: a free month of service today patriotmobile dot com slash
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: ferguson or nine to seven to two Patriot. Now I
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: go back to my hometown where I was born and
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: raised in Memphis, Sennessee. You have a mayor there that
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: will never allow for the National Guard to come in
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: and help. He could have the city on fire, and
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: I don't think he would do it. You gotta have
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: riot and looting. I'm not sure he we do it
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: because in his minds, he hates Donald Trump more than
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: he likes sitting the lie of the citizens of his city.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: All of these other cities that I mentioned, you're dealing
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: with the same exact thing. So then the question becomes
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: in these hardcore liberal cities, if you know that the
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: presidente It's America has come to town, and you know
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: that when he has come to town or talking about
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: your town, that he is offering you genuine help and
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: that your city actually could be incredibly safe, could be
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: unbelievably safe. If your mayor would say, please help, mister President,
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: how mad are you going to be? You witness what's
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: happening in Washington, d C. They haven't had a murder
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: I think it's in six or seven days now. I
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: want you to think about that. They haven't had a
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: murder in six or seven days.
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: That is an unbelievable number.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: That is a number that even I think the President
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: couldn't have imagined. I want you to listen to President
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: as he was doing this walk right after DC. He says,
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: we're going to make other places safer. Why did he
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: say it that way? He is telling the rest of
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: the world, if you live in a city that is dangerous,
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: I am here to help you. You're gonna have to
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: talk to your mayor and get him to do what's
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: right for you.
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: Listen to President in his own words.
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: So many phone calls thanking me for what we've done
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: in Washington, d C. From people that haven't gone to
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: a restaurant literally in four years, and they said, you
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: know what you've done is it's unprecedented because what they
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: they they said it was just unsafe. We couldn't do
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: it would go out and you'd see the stories. You'd
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: read the stories, you see all of the things that
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: are happening, and they said, we just we couldn't we
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: couldn't stand it, Sarah. Now I take my wife and
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: my kids to dinner. They one of them said, he's
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: gone out four nights in a row and he hadn't
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: gone out for four years. So it's it's a great
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: tribute to you. And when I look at you people,
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: I understand why because there's no.
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: Games, right, we're not playing games.
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: We're gonna make it safe and we're going to then
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: go on to other places, but we're going to stay
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: here for a while. We want to make this absolutely perfect.
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: Just our capital, and I guess it used to be
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: many years ago, say, but it certainly not had a
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: very good run. And you've got to be strong, you've
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: got to be tough, you've got to do your job.
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: Whatever it takes to do your job. You got to
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: do your job. But the crime numbers are way down.
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: I'm looking at you.
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: Saw some of the stats that just read them out
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: to me inside the numbers that we haven't seen here ever,
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: actually ever, And I think it's probably right now it's
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: to me. I feel very safe now and I'm hearing
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: people are very safe. But I know within two weeks
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: it's going to be pam, It's going to be at
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: a level that's even far superior.
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: The President of the United States of America is telling
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: every liberal danger city in America, I am here to
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: help you.
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: Why will Democrats not take him up on making their
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: cities safer?
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: Why would any mayor that has a dangerous city one
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: of those deadly cities in America. I go back to
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: my hometown of Memphis, because I love my hometown, but
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: people are fleeing left and right. Why would you not say, yes,
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: mister President, let's be biparison this.
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: Please come in and help me save black lives.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: Because I promise you that all the people on the
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: city council in Memphis, I know most of them, and
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: the mayor have all been up there yelling black lives matter.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: That the same people that walked out to the bridge
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: and shut down the famous Memphis Bridge and a name
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: of black Lives Matter with a guy by the way
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: that was had an unrest worn out for him while
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: the police were walking arm in arm with him as
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: he was shutting down traffic illegally.
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: You can't make it up.
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: Why would you not in that moment, why would you
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: not say yes, Yes, mister President, I can put politics
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: aside because I.
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: Want to save black lives.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: The majority of the cities I mentioned earlier are majority
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: African American cities. The majority of people that are killed
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: in these cities are African Americans. That are being killed
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: in these cities, The majority of the victims the most
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: violent crimes are African American. The majority of the people
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: that are being raped are African American. The majority of
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: children that are being sexually abused are African American in
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: these most dangerous cities.
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: If black lives.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: Matter, then why would these mayors or these cities not say,
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: mister President, we need your help. We're one of the
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: most dangerous cities in America and we want you to
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: come in and do.
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: Exactly what you just did.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: That is working overwhelmingly in a city that is very
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: much like ours, Washington, DC.
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: That's why the presidents said, we're not done here yet.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: We're going to make it safe, and we're going to
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: go other places, but we're going.
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: To stay here for a while.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: He's also sending the message when it comes to law enforcement,
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: you can't just come in and clean up and disappear.
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: You have to have a presence.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: Now, let me also just say publicly what my piece
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: of advice is for this White House right now. And
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: I will say this to people I know there, but
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: I want to say publicly with you guys right now.
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: I think this is a major opportunity for President Trump
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: to go into some of these liberal cities in the
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: very near future with the data of how massive of
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: a success Washington, DC's cleanup has been and go directly
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: the people in that city and tell the people in
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: that city. You have to reach out to your city councilman,
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: you have to reach out to your governor. You have
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: to reach out to your mayor's office. You're going to
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: have to demand that they ask for the help that
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: you guys need to make your city safer. I think
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: the president should go two of the top twenty most
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: dangerous cities. I think you should sit there on stage
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: with elected officials and call them out to their face
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: in a very diplomatic way. Because this doesn't need to
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: come across as like I'm right and you're wrong. It
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: needs to come across with I'm here to help. I
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: am here to give you whatever you need to protect
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: the black lives of your city that are getting destroyed
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: by the violent criminals in your city. I go back
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: to this, This is an African American issue in the
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: majority of these cities.
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: And so if you want.
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: To if you want me to believe Democrats that you
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: truly care about black lives, that you honestly.
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: Care about saving Black lives.
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: By the way, especially young black lives. Let's also remember
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: how many young people are dying, how many young people
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: are sending themselves up to just go to jail. Look
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: at the number of violent criminals and the number of
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: anarchists that we witness in Washington, d C. The majority
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: of the people that are doing a lot of these
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: crimes and the shoplifting are actually under the age eighteen.
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: Why.
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: I can tell you why, one reason and one reason only.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: They know they're not going to go to jail. They
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: know that they get caught, nothing was going to happen
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: to them. Why else do you think this happened. Why
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: else do you think that they did this? Well, let
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: me also just explain to you how the gangs work,
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: so you understand the gangs are really smart. They use
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: young people under the age of eighteen on purpose, and
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: they use them because they know they won't be held accountable.
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: I want you to just think about that. They know
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: that they will not be held accountable for their actions.
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: That's why they do it. You step back and you
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: look at this country right now, and it is very
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: clear that every major city in America is run by Democrats.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: Is a city that is filled with violent criminals. Many
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: of them are filled with violent criminal, illegal aliens. Many
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: of them are filled with child rapists, sex offenders, and
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: a network of drug cartel members. And by the way,
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: I'm going to talk about the drug cartels and going
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: after them because they've been designated terrorist organizations in a moment,
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: something I'm in favor of. I'm in favor of going
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: after them, and there's a very good chance that may
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: be what the President's going to do in Mexico very
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: very soon.
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: But they're filled with the lawlessness.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: This is the time where we as Republicans and conservatives,
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: I think, have an opportunity to make real inroads in
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: inner city America, where overwhelming they've been voting for Democrats
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: for decades. At seventy eighty percent. This is that moment
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: where you can look at Washington, d C. And show
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: them that there is an actual chance of safe and
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: secure neighborhoods regardless of where you live.
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: If you restore the law and order, and then once you.
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: Get that safety and you get that security, you're then
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: in a much better place because at that point you
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: have citizens that start to be inspired to go out
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: in their communities, to be involved in their communities. By
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: the way, you know what, there's two things that are
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: very interesting about.
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: Crime.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: If you're in a high crime area, did you know
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: that it's almost guaranteed that your kids are in a
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: failing school.
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: If black lives really matter to the Democratic Party like
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: they claim, then they would want young black lives to
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: not be set up for failure, but set up for
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: success in a public school that is not a failure.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: By the way, it's also the reason why I'm in
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: favor of school choice. You may not know this, but
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: did you know if you're in a high crime city,
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: not only are you more likely to be in a
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: failing school than a successful school, but you're you're also
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: more likely to let me rephrase that, you're less likely
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: to go to church you look at the most high
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: crime cities in America and look at the church attendance numbers,
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: they are in historic declines. Why is that because you've
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: killed community. It used to be you walked a church
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: in your neighborhood with your family, your friends, your neighbors.
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: If you live in a violent city and a violent neighborhood,
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: the chances of you knowing your neighbors, going out with
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: your neighbors, spending time with your neighbors, spending time in
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: a community, spend time outside of your home with your
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: family is very low. And if you want to know
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: why we have so many empty churches on Sunday mornings
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: and some of these violent cities. Yes, there is a
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: direct correlation between failing schools and lack of faith in America.
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: In cities where there is crime and the criminals are
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: running the city, there are some of the most beautiful
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: churches that's seventy eighty percent empty on Sunday mornings and
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: these violent cities because the elderly, by the way, who
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: I truly believe the elders, there's a reason why we
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: have elders in the church are the backbone of our community.
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: They're the backbone of our churches, the elder statesmen, and
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: if they're afraid to go to church because they're afraid
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: of the crime, and they don't feel safe in their
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: own neighborhood, they don't feel safe to go to church,
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: they don't feel safe to go to the grocery stores.
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: What happens.
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: They end up becoming depressed, They end up sitting in
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: their homes, and they end up dying like hermits.
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: Crime isn't just killing people. It's killing cities.
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: It's killing hopes, it's killing dreams, it's killing education, it's
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: killing faith in America today.
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: And so what the President I encourage him.
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: To do is to keep doing what he's doing Number one,
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: but to go to these cities regardless of what the
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: local leaders say, and talk to the people directly. In
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: these top twenty most dangerousies, do a tour of America's
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: worst cities, and don't walk in and criticize. Walk in
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: and say, life should be better than this. Life should
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: be safer for you and your grandparents and your kids.
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: Our churches and our schools should be places that people
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: can't wait to go to. Your children should be able
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: to play in your backyard, in your front yard and
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: not be behind at bars on the windows because it's
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: so crime ridden. Your kids should be able to sit
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: on the front porch at night and not be inside
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: in case there's a drive by shooting. Yes, that's a
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: reality in many of the most dangerous cities in America.
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: I don't care who you are. You know if you're
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: not safe. Can I get an amen on that? You
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: know that if you were in an unsafe area, you know,
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: if you're in a community that is not safe, you
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: know it.
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: I know it, you know it. Everybody knows it.
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: You know. Many people are stuck in a neighborhood that
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: they wish they didn't live in because they're on a
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: fixed income, they're retired, they're in social Security, they live
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: their life, they did well, and unfortunately now they live
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: in a community that they can't afford to get out of,
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: and so they're stuck literally in hell. This is not
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: hard to fix. Let me give you some stats to
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: prove my point. DC violent crime has dropped twenty two
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: percent after Trump's crackdown.
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: They've had zero homicide in the last week.
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna read you this article and every American, by
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: the way, I will repost this article on my ex
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: account at Ben Ferguson Show. I'll put it up on
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: a on on Instagram, follow me at Ben Ferguson Podcast
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: I and I'll put these stats in my podcast.
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: So you can share it. But here are the stats.
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: Violent crime in DC has dropped twenty two percent of
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: the last week following Trump's crackdown the city. The article
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: says Fox News Digital detailed the stunning findings, which include
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: the fact that as of Wednesday afternoon, there were not one,
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: not two, not three, not ten, not fifteen, twenty, but
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: zero murders in Washington, DC over the last seven days.
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: That is a feat that has not been seen for months.
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: Fox News Digital also said a few other stunning statistics
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: from the local police union, revealing that since Trump's federal takeover,
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: carjackings have dropped by eighty three percent, robberies have dropped
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: by forty six percent, zero murders in DZE during the
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: past week. The White House Officials Rapid Response page also
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: shared the news detailing the quote dramatic reductions in crime.
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: Here's a local report about it.
• 24:16
  Speaker 4: When the National Guard hit the ground in Washington last week,
• 24:19
  Speaker 4: that city's crime fight went into overdrive and now we're
• 24:23
  Speaker 4: seeing the impact and the dramatic reductions in crime. When
• 24:28
  Speaker 4: the National Guard rolled into Washington last week, the locals
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: seemed skeptical.
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: The crime is minimal here. There's not really a lot
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: of crime here lived in the right window, dress up
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: to me.
• 24:37
  Speaker 4: But with the Guard on the ground, crime is on
• 24:40
  Speaker 4: the decline. For the first time in a long time,
• 24:43
  Speaker 4: DC has gone seven days without a homicide. And that's
• 24:46
  Speaker 4: not all. Carjackings are down eighty three percent, robberies are
• 24:50
  Speaker 4: down forty six percent, carthf's down twenty one percent, and
• 24:54
  Speaker 4: overall violent crime is down twenty two percent.
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: These kind of numbers going down, it basically says this
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: is a success and that means people feel safer.
• 25:08
  Speaker 4: Like many big cities, Washington's police department is critically short staff.
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: People who don't feel safe aren't free.
• 25:15
  Speaker 4: Sergeant Betsy Smith with the National Police Association says it
• 25:18
  Speaker 4: is ripe for federal help. More police generally equals less crime.
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: More police.
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: What an idea, More police generally means less crime.
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: This is not hard to figure out.
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: Why would all these other cities not want Donald Trump's help.
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: Forget the mayors, forget the politics. Why would any city
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: right now. Not be screaming, mister President, please help us.
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: We need the National Guard, send them in. We want
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: our carjackings down eighty three percent. We want robberies down
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: forty six percent. We went car theft down twenty one percent.
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: We want overall violent crime down twenty two percent. That
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: is in a seven day period. This is the dramatic
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: reduction crime. And these numbers do seem shocking to me.
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: I also want to be clear about that, and probably
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: it's because we've been living in such an abusive relationship
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: in these big seas or so long that it seems
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: impossible to stop the violent crime. When you grow up
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: in a violent city, one of the most violent seas
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: in America, it's an abusive relationship. I grew up in Memphis.
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: I say it again. I love my city, I really do.
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: But I can tell you this. I wouldn't tell anybody
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: to move there right now. In fact, I tell most
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: of my friends when we talk about this stuff, get out.
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: It's not worth your family's life, it's not worth living
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: in fear. When I moved out of Memphis, I moved
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: from one of the most dangerous cities in America, the
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: murder capital of America to one of the safest cities
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: in all of America, and do you want to know
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: what happened? It took me about sixty days to figure
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: out just how much my life was consumed with thinking
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: about safety.
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: About six months.
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: I actually forgot to lock my door one night at
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: my house, and I laughed the next morning because there's
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: no way in hell I would ever do that in
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: Memphis and Sea, like it would that accident doesn't happen
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: in Memphis, Tennessee. The idea of not locking your door
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: would not be an option when you live in a
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: violent city. And if you're listening to me right now
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: and you live in one of the cities, you know
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: exactly what I'm talking about, Like you understand it.
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: You're like, yeah, there's no way in hell.
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: When I was a little boy, we went to Botanno,
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: North Dakota Sea my great grandmother, And when you grow
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: up in Memphis, there's a lot of rules. My dad
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: was by the way in law enforcement, so there was
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: like he knew and we knew just how dangerous the
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: city was. And I remember going to Boto, North Dakotesa
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: my great grandmother. She was I think in her eighties
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: at the time. And we got there and there was
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: two things. As a little child, I'll never forget. Number One,
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: they always left the keys in the ignition in the
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: car and the driveway. No one was stealing cars and
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: bought no North Dakota. They had a real sense of community.
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: Number two, and this is even more important. They had
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: a community where everybody walked and everybody went to church.
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: When you have a safe city, you have a real community.
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: People don't stay in their houses and lock their doors.
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: They go outside and they have an open door policy
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: to their family, their friends, and their neighbors. And the
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: most amazing thing that ever happened when I was a
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: little kid. It was one of those moments that, like
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: they say, is a core memory.
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: Was when I was there.
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: My grandmo great grandmother looked at me and I was
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: a little kid, My sister was little, and she handed
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: us money and she said, you guys, walk down the
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: store and go get yourself some candy. And my parents said, yeah, yeah,
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: y'all go down there. We looked at my mom and
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: my dad like they were insane. You wouldn't when I
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: lived in Memphis, you had to. My mom would walk
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: out into the street to watch me walk down to
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: our neighbor's house to make sure I made it safely.
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: And I wasn't allowed to walk home until I called,
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: so they could walk outside and watch me walk back
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: down the street. And those same parents are telling me
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: in Botano, North Dakota, you can go the grocery store
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: and go shopping by yourself. I was like what. I
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: didn't even know what drugs were. I was so young,
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: but I knew something wasn't right. Wouldn't it be nice
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: if we got back to that way of life? And
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: the President I take to America is telling every one
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: of these cities you can do this.
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: We are ready to do it with you, We are
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: ready to help you.
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: And the only thing that's holding these cities back is
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: the arrogance of the Democratic Marxists and socialists and communists
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: that are running these cities. They would rather their constituents
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: live in fear. They would rather than odeon fetnyl. They
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: would rather than be raped, they would rather than be shot.
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: They'd rather them be murdered than to actually work with
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump, because Orange Man apparently is so bad that
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: they just can't work with him.
