You have MAGA-republican leaders going on live TV in these disastrous appearances this morning and last night, oftentimes representing states and communities with far higher crime rates than Washington, D.C. or Chicago and elsewhere, and talking about how they want their states, whether it's like South Carolina or Oklahoma or Mississippi or whatever, to send more troops into D.C. and Chicago. Here's Congressmember Ralph Norman from this morning. Let's play it.
So you support National Guard troops in these cities, if it comes to that? Absolutely. Why not? The fact that the crime speaks for itself, the numbers speak for themselves. You mentioned Chicago. Look at Los Angeles. Look at New York City. Let the politicians complain about those who want to keep them safe.
Yeah, the crime in South Carolina is far higher in cities in South Carolina. And a lot of the cities he talks about have all-time low crime, and that's what they're doing in these red states. This is what Kristi Noem, Department of Homeland Security secretary, is now saying, creating this fantasy, fictitious world about Washington, D.C. and America. Everyone all of a sudden is liberated. This is what liberation feels like. Here, play this clip.
...as done. And so the American people are feeling freedom again. I think they lived under the oppression of Democrat rule in so many of these cities. They forgot what it felt like to actually be free and to be safe. But now for the last 11 days in D.C., people are feeling different and they recognize what America used to be and they want it back permanently. So these Democrat governors, they need to wake up because the people in their communities and in their cities recognize how they've threatened their way of life and they're not going to take it anymore.
Tämä on täysin sama kuin mitä siellä tapahtuu. Se on se, mitä fasismi todellakin näyttää. Ja tämä on myös se, mitä fasismi näyttää. Tässä on Stephen Millarin recent appearance.
President Trump has literally set the people of Washington D.C. free. They're so happy now that they can just go out and live their lives, go to their favorite restaurant, go to their favorite bar, go to their favorite pool hall, go to their favorite park. You see moms taking kids out to parks they haven't been to in years because they know the police are there, they know that President Trump is there with his law enforcement to protect them. It's a thing of beauty, Sean.

Chapter 2: How are D.C. officials responding to increased federal presence?
It's almost like doublespeak where Stephen Miller says that the president is setting us free by sending in thousands of National Guard troops to essentially occupy DC. It's crazy to hear this and it's unfortunate because it's not true. Washington DC is a great city.
We encourage everybody to come visit, because there's a lot going on here. We have great food, we have great music, we have great art scene, and we of course have great monuments and museums and national history. And what is true is that we have crime in D.C., just like any other city in this country, and we have been successfully lowering crime over the past two years, where crime is significantly down in D.C. as compared to last year or the year before, or even if you compare
violent crime to pre-COVID rates. And so what they're saying about DC is not true, and what they are doing is not actually solving any sort of problem. They're sending National Guard troops to the National Mall, to other touristy areas that is not where the crime is. I was talking to someone who went to visit the National Portrait Gallery the other day, and there were a bunch of National Guard troops out there
She asked one of them what's going on here. She was told that the National Guard has a lot of unstructured time right now in D.C. They let them essentially be tourists in D.C. This is not solving the problem. If the president actually wanted to solve the problem, there are many things he could be doing. Many people don't know the federal government has a lot of control over our criminal justice system already.
And they refuse to do their duties when it comes to that. Every single local judge in our court system is nominated by the president, appointed by the Senate. And our local prosecutor for all adult crimes, also nominated by the president, confirmed by the Senate. We have a judicial vacancy crisis in our city because the president will not select nominees from the Judicial Nomination Commission, which has forwarded him names for every opening.
and the Senate will not confirm, which means trials go on longer, which means that evidence gets stale, convictions get lost. We have a U.S. attorney's office that is also facing a judicial, sorry, a vacancy crisis in their office, and that is at least partially because the predecessor to the current U.S. attorney, who is Jeanine Pirro, the president's appointee,
He fired over 20 prosecutors. His only crime was prosecuting violent January 6th insurrectionists. And so they won't offer those people their jobs back. I've talked to some of them. They're not getting offered their jobs back. And they're not appointing more judges. Instead, they're sending National Guard troops to occupy our city and go to the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery.
It's ridiculous what the president is saying, what Stephen Miller is saying. These people are not here to actually help the people of D.C. They are trying to use the crime problem as a way to seize total control over our city to implement their far-right MAGA agenda in D.C. as a test case for how they can run cities across the rest of the country. And we've got to stop it.
I want to talk about that in a little bit as well, how they're going to be rolling this out to other cities with DC as the template. But Councilmember Nadeau, from Ward 1, what are you seeing?

Chapter 3: What impact are National Guard troops having on D.C. residents?
Ja se on pitkän traditio täällä Kolumbiassa. He järjestävät, he näyttävät, kun he näkevät suomalaisten asian ulkopuolella, he kuvataan heitä, he puhuvat heille.
They demand to know what they're doing. They frankly, they yell at them and they tell them to get out of our neighborhoods because they don't want them here. Because they're not keeping us safer. And the other thing that is really disheartening as opposed to the spirit of our neighborhoods is that
It's really undermining the trust in the police in our communities, which also makes us less safe. Because it used to be that we could trust whichever police were out on the street. We're looking out for our community members, and now we're worried that they're targeting them. Arrests are up. They're charging people with crimes, with illegal searches. I mean, the courts are starting to step up, which is good to see, and throwing out these arrests and charges because of the illegal searches.
I cannot emphasize enough. This is tyranny. This is a military takeover of our nation's capital. These are fascist acts. Americans need to know what is going on and they are not hearing the truth on Fox News.
Senator Jane, back to you. Talk to us about the Latino community. We heard there from Councilmember Nadeau how people are afraid to leave. Some restaurants are not even opening for fear of workers being picked up. Citizens, migrants, if your skin color is brown or if you look Latino, tell us what you've seen with the ice rage, just the overall vibe.
Washington D.C. right now. I mean, you've been there for a while. What are you seeing and when Trump and the regime says this is the greatest, everyone's happy. I think Trump made a post today saying this is Disneyland. That was the post he made this morning. This is like Disneyland. What do you say to that?
The Latino community is really scared right now. And I understand why. Most of what we've been seeing is essentially an immigration raid. And what they do is they arrest first and they ask questions later. So they'll pick up someone. It doesn't matter if you have documentation or not.
If you're Latino and you're doing something that they think is slightly suspicious, they will pick you up, unfortunately. I'll just give an example. I talked with someone who, full legal asylum status, was working as a delivery driver. He's basically too afraid to even leave his house. He has barely left his house in the past two weeks.
He are worried that if he does, he'll get picked up by ICE. Obviously not making any money, he's really having a hard time making ends meet. There was a viral video the other day of a Latino delivery driver who was tackled and violently arrested on 14th Street in DC, which is a pretty popular area of the city.

Chapter 4: How is the Latino community affected by current policies in D.C.?
Our residents are angry and our residents are scared of this new federal presence because they do not know what laws the feds are actually following. And at this point, everyone in our community is at risk just walking around.
going about their business, resisting even, you know, pushing back against these acts. You know, we've got people out there filming, we've got people protesting, we've got people organizing. And everybody's doing that at their own risk because there's no guarantee right now that the First Amendment is being protected by these thugs. And I'm very worried for my residents, but I know that as in the past,
When we've been challenged, the people of Washington, D.C. will stick together and will fight for one another, regardless of the risk to each other and to ourselves. All right. Final message from you both. Senator Jane, before we go, we've got six million subscribers out here. More people now watch this YouTube channel than Fox. What do you want people to know as a takeaway?
What the president is doing here is his testing ground for what he's going to try in cities across the country. He starts with D.C. because it's easy, because we're not a state. In no other city can he so easily take control of the local police force. At the end of the day, this will continue to happen to us in Washington D.C. until we get D.C. statehood. This is just making the case even clearer about why we need D.C. statehood and what the real life consequences are to people's lives for us not being a state. People die because we're not a state.
Se aloittaa D.C. ja jos se toimii täällä, hän menee Chikagoon. Hän menee Detroitiin. Hän menee Phoenixiin. Hän menee Philadelphiaan. Hän menee New Yorkista. Presidentti on jo näyttänyt, että jos hän voisi uudistaa D.C. maga-ajennuksensa, hän yrittäisi tämän kaupungin kaupungissa.

Chapter 5: What is the significance of D.C. statehood in the current political climate?
Ja hyvää tietoa meille ja kaupungin ympärille on se, että voimme pysyä lopputulokseemme. Joten presidentti on melkein saavutettu lopputulokset, joita hän voi tehdä yksilöllisesti. Ja nyt hän täytyy mennä Yhdysvallalle. Ja Yhdysvallat voi, esimerkiksi, laajentaa poliittisen sääntöä enemmän kuin 30 päivää. Yhdysvallat voi loppua paikallisia D.C.-loja, joita he eivät tykkää, koska me emme ole valtio.
Ja siksi presidentti jo sanoi, että hän menee. Hän menee kysymään puolustusta tekemään tehtäviä tehtäviä tehtäviä tehtäviä tehtäviä tehtäviä tehtäviä tehtäviä tehtäviä tehtäviä tehtäviä tehtäviä
What we need is for Senate Democrats to stand strong with D.C. and say, no, we're not going to be complicit in the president's takeover of Washington D.C. We're not going to participate in this, not just as an act of charity for the people of D.C. Of course, we hope that they support D.C., but as an essential aspect of protecting their cities and their constituents, because this is coming to a city near them next. And so what I don't want to hear is, you know, 30 days from now,
that Congress has passed a law that takes even more rights away from Washingtonians and for congressional Democrats to say, well, Trump and the Republicans did this to D.C. If that happens, it'll be Senate Democrats who did this to us. And we have the ability to stop this from happening, and we need Senate Democrats to stand strong and make sure that they vote against any of these efforts to participate in the Trump takeover of Washington D.C. Councilmember Nadeau, your final message.
Look, you know, we're used to this here in the District of Columbia. Our autonomy, our very existence is constantly under threat by Congress, by hostile presidents, ever since we got the very bit of autonomy that we had 50 years ago.
What people need to understand is in a fascist takeover of a government, there is always a scapegoat, whether that's the Democrats, whether that's cities, whether that's people that don't look like us, whether that's immigrants. Know your history and understand that what is happening right now is something that has happened before in the past. And this is not just about the District of Columbia. He will be coming for other cities.
and he will be coming for all of the people that do not bow down before him. The thing that we need help with right now in the District of Columbia
is for those of you who live in a state where your governor has authorized the National Guard to be here. That includes West Virginia, South Carolina, Mississippi, Louisiana, Ohio, Tennessee. Speak out about that. Your National Guard does not need to be here and has no business being here. Please speak to your senators and tell them that this takeover of the District of Columbia is not something you support.
Because we don't have those votes in the Senate. We may be the first, but we will not be the last. He is coming for absolute power and absolute control. And we always knew that this would happen here in the District of Columbia. We need to stop it from happening everywhere else. Everybody needs to stand up and see the District of Columbia as your own cities as well, because this is a threat to everybody.
