Monday 11 August in the year of our Lord 2025 we are alive at the White House press briefing room for historic press briefing I believe president of the United States is going to come down momentarily we're to cut to that and we've got the ambient noise right there you can hear we're going to go and actually pick it up as soon as the president comes at the podium uh so here's what's going to happen today president

trump has already put out a series of tweets and talk to people and made this pronouncement over

the weekend that because of increasing crime homelessness just general filth and an out of control

district of Columbia he's actually going to take charge of the district of Columbia today.

Actually, they had, I think, FBI agents and drug enforcement agents yesterday, even walking the mall.

But today we're going to get a much more formal declaration.

I think some city officials may be there.

Brian Glenn is in,

this is one of the most packed. The briefing room is always packed. Our own Brian Glens in a tweet

just a few moments ago that showed how packed it was. Let me bring in Dave Brad. Dave,

you've been a member of Congress before. You know how sensitive things are between the district,

the house, in the executive branch

but this this city's so out of control right now and they talk about stats and crime stats are down

that's because stuff's not reported I think it's pretty generally accepted by people that live in

the district and course the war rooms main studios and headquarters are right there

near the Supreme Court. Uh, Capitol Hill, everything about D.C. right now appears it's out of

control. Your thoughts, sir, before the president pops in. Yeah, well, in Congress, uh, you know,

we lived under very lax times, uh, National Security for the White House was lax.

9-11, the tragedy woke everybody up. But D.C. is on another level, right? That's local government level, supposedly.

But there's a lot of responsibilities and a lot of important people there that need to be protected.

And then with the onset of the censorship regime under Biden, security was just a misnomer, right?

It was controlled by the left. Fences were put up willy-nilly in support of political projects.
