Well, I will say the job President Bukele is doing right now, taking on the gangs, going after the gang leaders, imprisoning the gang leaders, imprisoning mass murderers, the results speak for themselves. In 2015, El Salvador had the highest murder rate in the entire world. 100 people killed per hundred thousand. Tragically, this was the murder capital of the world. Last year, that dropped from 100 people per 100,000 to 1.9 people per 100,000. That is a 98% decrease in the murder rate. (07:16–07:27)
