You've all seen the video.
Sitting there on the Charlotte public transit and never really has any idea that she's in danger.
A guy happens to be black, stabs her from behind, and that guy had been arrested over 12 times.
I've seen reports of 12.
I've seen reports of 15 times.
And Charlotte local charges...
they are now saying that he is not able to stand trial for reasons of insanity.
And so they are not bringing forward and continuing the state charges.
Now, federal, they're saying they're going to continue to prosecute.
He is being prosecuted on two different fronts, state and federal charges.
But, Buck, when I see this data,
We now have pretty tangible evidence that if we commit the resources and if we allow police and all those supporting police to do their jobs, we can drive down murders even in the highest crime cities of America, places like Washington, D.C., which used to be the murder capital of the country, and places like Memphis, which did become the murder capital of the country.
If we provide the resources and support, we can drive down murders by 50%, 60%, nearly 70% this year in Washington, D.C.
But what we're seeing is, I'm afraid, in New York City, places like Charlotte, blue cities across the country, certainly Chicago...
There is a refusal to just do the things that would save enormous amounts of life.
And on top of that, Buck, as you well know, but the data reflects, overwhelmingly the lives saved, they're going to be black.
Because overwhelmingly, and Brown, since Hakeem Jeffries and others, we're going to play that cut for you this hour, want to talk about DEI.
Black lives matter.
If black lives truly matter, President Trump has probably saved more black lives in Washington, D.C.
and Memphis than any president ever has in the history of the office.
