Discussion on Crime and Safety in Cities

I'm a perfectionist, and

if I see a crooked line, if I see a corner that's not square, if I

see something going on that w- isn't good, if I see dirt.

That's one of the things I hate about the radical left.

Everything turns filthy, dirty, and then it goes to hell.

And then the murders start, and the crime starts, and everything else.

Uh, I don't know if that's natural. I don't know if it's picked up.

My parents were very clean people. They were very proud people.

But, you know, I'm proud of the country.

I wanna see it

fixed and made better. We've fixed, uh, eighty-two monuments,

statues, waterfalls in Washington.

Maybe more important, Washington, DC was almost the crime capital of the United

States, and now it's, it's a totally safe place. You know,

crime is down.

The whole country, crime is way down for the whole country.

But if you look at Washington, DC, which is a microcosm, but it's our

capital, we brought in the National Guard. They're unbelievable.

They did a job with the police, with everybody.

But one number that I love giving, two percent of the people create

ninety-one percent of the crime.

Yes.

Because you can handle two percent.

If it were thirty percent,

probably can't handle it, right? So you take care of just two percent,

and your

crime rate goes way down, and that's what happened in Washington and

Memphis and, uh, a few other cities who did.

And I wish they'd call me from New York, Chicago,

and LA. I would take those numbers down to

nothing.
