But I've never received so many phone
calls thanking me for what we've done in
Washington DC from people that haven't
gone to a restaurant in literally in
four years. And uh they said, "You know
what you've done is it's unprecedented
because what they uh they they said it
was just unsafe. We couldn't do it.
would go out and uh you'd see the
stories, you'd read the stories, you'd
see all of the things that are happening
and uh they said we just we couldn't we
couldn't stand it, sir. And now I take
my wife and my kids to dinner. They one
of them said he's gone out four nights
in a row and he hadn't gone out for four
years. So, it's a it's a great tribute
to you. And when I look at uh you
people, I understand why. Because they
there's no games, right? We're not
playing games. We're going to make it
safe. And we're going to then go on to
other places. But we're going to stay
here for a while. We want to make this
absolutely perfect. It's our capital.
And uh I guess it used to be many years
ago say, but it's certainly not had a a
very good run. And you got to be strong.
You got to be tough. You got to do your
job. Whatever it takes to do your job,
you got to do your job. But the crime
numbers are way down. I'm looking at you
saw some of the stats. They just read
them out to me inside. the numbers that
we haven't seen here ever, actually
ever. And I think it's probably uh right
now it's to me I I feel very safe now
and I'm hearing people are very safe but
I know within two weeks it's going to be
Pam it's going to be at a a level that's
even far superior. here.
