It's phenomenal.
They're doing a terrific job going and arresting violent criminals, murderers and rapists and gangbangers, which is why we've seen the murder rate drop 20 percent.
We covered that in the last podcast that the murder rate has dropped 20 percent across the country.
That's a massive success.
What I think the administration could do better.
is the tone with which they're describing this.
That immediately when an incident like this happens, they come out guns blazing, that we took out a violent terrorist, hooray.
And the problem is, particularly for someone not paying attention, if you're being told this is a mom of three and there's no indication she's not waving an ISIS flag or doesn't have a suicide vest around her,
Yeah.
Escalating the rhetoric doesn't help and it actually loses credibility.
And so I would encourage the administration to be more measured, to recognize the tragedy and to say we don't want anyone, anyone's lives to be lost.
And the politicians who are pouring gasoline onto this fire, they need to stop.
Yes.
One hundred percent.
Yes.
OK.
And it's going to be tied to this issue, right?
Yes.
Yes.
One hundred percent.
