The speaker also criticizes certain protesters as out-of-touch.

Are you going to be releasing evidence of this? Of what? The DC Has a terrible crime problem. You just got to look around. Obviously D.C. has a terrible crime problem. The Department of Justice statistics back it up. The FBI statistics back it up. Just talk to a resident of this city, this beautiful, great American city. Don't they deserve, don't. I mean, we talk about human rights, we hear these people outside screaming, Free D.C. let's free D.C. from lawlessness. Let's free Washington, D.C. from one of the highest murder rates in the entire world. Let's free Washington D.C. so that young families can walk around and feel safe and secure. That's what we're trying to free DC From. And as Stephen said, it's kind of bizarre that we have a bunch of old, primarily white people who are out there protesting the policies that keep people safe when they've never felt danger in their entire lives.
