Joining me now to discuss borders are Tom Holman, Tom. Wow, I mean, D.C. lived here for on and off 30 years, and all my buddies who live inside the city are like, "This is a dream. This is a dream. Like, this is the way it always should have been." And it was authoritarian? - You know what? Greatest president in my lifetime. And he proves it every day. I mean, promises made, promises kept. I've lived in D.C. at least 15 years, and I wouldn't walk the streets of D.C. without, you know, a concealed weapon. But now, it's a total change. D.C.'s one of the safest nations in this country, excuse me, one of the safest cities in the nation. We are the strongest nation in the world, a beacon. Our capital should be an example for the whole world. And President Trump has made Washington D.C. an example for the whole world. I mean, over 16,000 arrests. Almost 2,000 firearms taken off the street. You know, three dozen, I mean, three dozen murder suspects taken off the street. He's done great. I mean, the D.C.'s the safest it's ever been. Crime rakes down. Then he's done it in Memphis. I just wish Chicago would take his offer up and let the president help Chicago, 'cause that's a shooting gallery every weekend. President's crew has proved a success. It should be a nonpartisan issue. Other mayors, New York City, Chicago, Detroit, you should take President Trump up on the offer. Make these cities safe again. It should be nonpartisan. - Well, this embarrasses them. So their own political self-preservation and the desire not to have to say Trump was right, that actually supersedes the needs of their people. That's the problem. So the regular working people, many minorities suffer the most because they hate Trump and they don't want to admit this actually tough on crime approach works. It's as simple as that. - And they want to attack us every day. And ICE has arrested and deported hundreds of thousands of public safety threat illegal amines, right? Hundreds of thousands, which makes every neighborhood safer. But we know that not every criminal is an illegal amine. So we need to step up and help city police departments. They want the help. It's the politicians, it's the governors and mayors that want to make it a partisan issue. President Trump's proved the success. I mean, promises made, promises kept. Most secure border in the history of the nation. Record number of illegal amine arrest deportations. He promised to make America safe again and he's done it. And we got more to do, but President Trump's on a mission. And I think by the time he leaves office, this country is going to have the lowest crime rate that you've seen ever. And we've already got the lowest crime rate. - Yeah, we got to ramp up the deportations. Yeah, we got to ramp up the deportations. We can't like send the TPS Haitians back and then in the next breath say, but reapply. Like, no, or we don't, we need to take a pause on all of this, remove people who are temporarily here, go back and they have to fix their own country. And we've got to employ American people, American jobs for American workers. And Tom, on this issue in Georgia, ICE has arrested more than 1200 illegals in the Atlanta area, including 720 who DHS said have been convicted and charged with crimes. So how is this a partisan issue at all when these are criminals? They can't say, oh, they're fry cooks. Maybe they are, but they're also criminals. - I don't understand it. Look, as far as what we're doing, well, ICE is doing, June of this year, ICE arrested more illegal alien than any time in the history of the agency. July, they blew June numbers away. July set another historic record. And the men and women of ICE are doing a fantastic job. Should there be more? Yeah, I want more, but people need to remember, ICE is doing this despite over 100 nationwide injunctions that are tired of hands. Over 65,000 habeas cases, well, we couldn't be telling 65,000 aliens, had to be released. Now we gotta go find them. But despite all these radical judges, ICE is making records every day. We got to do more and we will do more. - Yeah, millions here are gonna remove millions. That's a heavy lift. We said it from the beginning, Tom, but you're fighting on multiple fronts. Tom, thank you very much.

We completely agree with the president that crime in the District of Columbia is out of control and something needs to be done with it. We have to go back to how we got here, though. In 2020, the D.C. City Council passed an enormous amount of legislation that handcuffed police officers exposes them to administrative, civil, and even criminal liability, even when they do their jobs properly. And now, five years later, our authorized sworn strength is 4,000 sworn police officers. We currently have 3,180. So we have more than 800 vacancies for the position of police officer. And the way the department makes up for that gap is through 2 million hours of mandatory overtime every year. So the fact that we need help from federal law enforcement and maybe even the National Guard, it shouldn't come as a surprise, and we agree with that. I think one of the issues here, though, is that we all know that's going to be temporary. So in order to fix this problem and make sure that it doesn't ebb and flow and that the feds come in and we lower crime and then they leave and we're left holding the bag, it's very important that people know that there is underlying legislation that needs to be corrected. So that we can actually properly staff this police department in order to properly police the city.
