How do you not stand? I'm asking this Congress to pass tough legislation to ensure that violent and dangerous repeat offenders are put behind bars and importantly, that they stay there. Starting last summer, I deployed our National Guard and federal law enforcement to restore law and order to our most dangerous cities, including Memphis, Tennessee. Big success. New Orleans, Louisiana. Big success. And our nation's capital itself, Washington, D.C. where we have almost no crime anymore in Washington D.C. How did that happen? (1:10:39–1:10:51)
