FULL TRANSCRIPT:

Today, at the request of Governor Bill Lee of Tennessee, who’s standing with us, as you know, I’m signing a presidential memorandum to establish the Memphis Safe Task Force.

And it’s very important because of the crime that’s going on, not only in Memphis, in many cities. We’re gonna take care of all of them, step-by-step, just like we did in D.C.

We have virtually no crime in D.C. right now and we’re gonna keep it that way. It’s our nation’s capital. We’re gonna keep it that way or we’re gonna federalize it if we had to, but we don’t have to anymore because it’s in such great shape.

This task force will be a replica of our extraordinarily successful efforts here, and you’ll see it’s a lot of the same thing, although the numbers here are really something. They’re really bad.

Now, we did send the FBI in about four months ago to work, and it brought some of the numbers down. They did a great job, but we’re sending in the big force now.

We also sent them into Chicago on a sort of moderate basis, and we brought down crime a little bit in Chicago, but we’re now gonna bring it down very big. We’re gonna be doing Chicago probably next.
