00:00:00 --> 00:00:02
Here in the district, it is not.
00:00:02 --> 00:00:09
There were 274 homicides here in the district of Columbia in 2023.
00:00:09 --> 00:00:12
That's the highest murder rate in more than two decades.
00:00:12 --> 00:00:18
Since 1997. This is the president's home at least a few days a week.
00:00:18 --> 00:00:19
What can he do, uh,
00:00:19 --> 00:00:23
personally, about reducing the level of crime that we're seeing here
00:00:23 --> 00:00:26
in the nation's capital? So let me just be very clear.
00:00:26 --> 00:00:28
All violent crime, not just here,
00:00:28 --> 00:00:30
all violent crime anywhere,
00:00:30 --> 00:00:31
is completely unacceptable.
00:00:31 --> 00:00:33
We just want to make that very clear here.
00:00:33 --> 00:00:34
Um, you know,
00:00:34 --> 00:00:35
every community, uh,
00:00:35 --> 00:00:38
in this country should feel safe. Uh,
00:00:38 --> 00:00:40
want to be. Want to be safe, uh,
00:00:40 --> 00:00:43
and so that's important. But I will say this,
00:00:43 --> 00:00:45
you know, congressional Republicans,
00:00:45 --> 00:00:47
they don't seem to feel that way.
00:00:47 --> 00:00:51
And I say this because the president has taken action
00:00:51 --> 00:00:53
from the first piece of legislation that he signed into law.
00:00:53 --> 00:00:56
American rescue plan. Only Democrats voted for that.
00:00:56 --> 00:00:57
Republicans didn't vote for that.
00:00:57 --> 00:00:59
There was billions of dollars in that plan.
00:01:00 --> 00:01:01
Deal with crime,
00:01:01 --> 00:01:04
to make sure there were a lot more law enforcement in communities,
00:01:04 --> 00:01:06
to make sure that communities are able to.
00:01:06 --> 00:01:10
To keep families and Americans safe.
00:01:10 --> 00:01:11
They didn't vote for that.
