This is an IHeart podcast.

Now here's a highlight from coast to coast AM on IHeart Radio.

John, back to D.C. for a second before we move on.

How long do you think those troops are going to stay there?

Well, by law, Trump only has this executive authority for 30 days unless Congress goes and gives him an additional ability to stay there.

Unfortunately, the Democrats and the Senate, Chuck Schumer has already promised to filibuster it, and he has said that he will be successful in being able to

go and stop that extension. I mean, I guess I hope, given the huge changes we've had, I mean,

it's not just 13 days in a row without a homicide, which is just amazing. But you look at things

like the 14 days that it's been in effect with this

federalization of law enforcement there compared to the 14 days prior to it, the police

union points out that robberies have fallen by 42 percent, carjacking's have fallen by 85

percent, violent crime is fallen by 25%.

I mean, you've just had huge changes in crime,

you know, by having more boots on the ground there,

making it riskier for criminals to go and commit the crime.

You know, the thing is also, it's puzzling to me, we have data up through 2021 on who

the victims are of these murders.

So not only, as we talked about before, is the murder rate in D.C. higher than any other,

much higher than any other city in the top 25 in population, much higher,

you know, 169 percent higher than the worst state. But who are the victims? And the data

shows that about 96 percent of those who are killed are blacks.

So I hope, you know, Democrats claim that they care about the poor, that they care about blacks and minorities.
