I mean, again, people –

Let's take D.C.

because I can't speak for Chicago, right?

And I have no ability, and I can't speak for D.C.

I'm not D.C.

's representative, but I've lived there most of my life and I've been here a very, very long time and I'm 46 years old.

I lived there in the 1980s.

I've seen what crime looks like in a real bad way during the era of Marion Barry, for example.

What I would say to people is like people ask, is D.C.

safe?

Everyone's going to have a different answer about that.

In my opinion, yes, of course it is.

But I can recognize for other people that certain level of crime may not go that direction.

But the question is not that.

The question is, is there a crime emergency?

Because you'll notice throughout the Constitution and other sort of legal provisions that.

It's the emergency declaration that gives the people in power an extra set of powers that they don't have but for the emergency.

So he's claiming, President Trump, there's a crime emergency in D.C.

I'm looking at you dead in the face.

There is no crime emergency in D.C.
