Speaker 1 expresses "significant concerns about that" catch and release, noting "a significant issue with repeat offenders being released and re offending even prior to our officers having the opportunity to get the paperwork done," and calling for "greater accountability" and "a strong advocacy for bail reform." On the case where "She was killed July 4 in a parking lot," they say "First of all, that's an absolute tragedy." They acknowledge that "despite the fact that the system and the police and the Crowns followed the appropriate steps, that this still occurred" and state "these things should never happen." If steps were followed and it still happened, "there's an issue with the system and something needs to change." They are "fully supportive of all the recommendations that that letter has made" and want "a system set up to protect the vulnerable and to make sure that these types of things don't happen again."

Speaker 0 acknowledges the importance of addressing mass shootings and the need for answers. They recognize that some individuals have experienced more hardships than others, emphasizing the search for solutions.

Earlier today, just before 08:30AM, our city experienced an unthinkable tragedy. Minneapolis police officers responded to a report of a shooting at a mass that was happening at the Annunciation Roman Catholic Church on the block behind me. During the mass, a gunman approached on the outside on the side of the building and began firing a rifle through the church windows towards the children sitting in the pews at the mass. The shooter was armed with a rifle, a shotgun, and a pistol. This was a deliberate act of violence against innocent children and other people worshiping. Two young children, ages eight and 10, were killed where they sat in the pews. 17 other people were injured, 14 of them being children. We will stand together to protect our children, our schools, and our houses of worship.

Speaker 0 describes a mass shooting in a church during a ceremony: 'this was a man, a madman, acting alone, somehow knows about this ceremony.' An eight- and a 10-year-old were killed; 'an eight and a 10 year old,' and 'a total of 19 that we know of that were hit,' with 'seventeen injured, and of those 14 were children.' The gunman used 'three guns, multiple guns.' A child had to tell 'one of her friend's dads that the friend had been shot.' There will be stories of heroism and faith, but 'there are also adults that were shot.' The discussion acknowledges 'thoughts and prayers' are not enough: 'these kids were literally praying' and 'what can we do better with background checks or with assault weapons.' They mention 'a bipartisan bill for community violence' and 'my provision on domestic violence' to keep gun access from those convicted, plus 'national standards.'

The speaker describes being shot in the back of the knee and realizing it when seeing the blood. They express the need for action to protect children and question how someone could harm others. Another person shares their experience of being shot multiple times and their determination to stay positive. They mention scaling a fence, jumping off a ledge, and running to a nearby store.

The speaker says they are going to call on Governor Ron DeSantis and President Donald Trump because "this stuff keeps going on." They state that they are praying every day and that prayer and spirituality are good, but prayers don't do much. The speaker believes "it" is still happening and that gun reforms are needed.

Speaker 0 asks why the president hasn't acknowledged the shooting at CDC headquarters that took place earlier in August where a police officer was killed, and it was reported that the motivation for the shooting was somebody who was really unhappy with the effects of the COVID vaccine. Speaker 1 responds: "We absolutely were very much aware of that shooting. The secretary of health and human services put out a statement immediately. He was in touch with the CDC, and he actually traveled to Georgia, to assess the situation and to mourn, with the the people who work in that building there. So"

The speaker accuses the city council of not considering themselves leaders and not taking responsibility for their actions, which they believe is reflected in the police response. They criticize the police for taking 77 minutes to respond to a situation where 19 children were bleeding to death. The speaker presents pictures allegedly showing a cop using hand sanitizer and another on their phone smiling. They claim the police stopped parents from entering the school while their children were saying they wanted their mom. The speaker expresses disgust and vows to expose the situation.

I've been waiting for parents of child victims to speak out, but many are embarrassed and reluctant. What frustrates me the most is when I approached the high school principal about police reports regarding these incidents, and she dismissed them as unimportant. It raises the question of when she will be held accountable for her actions and inaction.

Thank you to everyone for being here. We must stop these tragic events from happening. Law enforcement deserves respect. The Diller family has suffered a great loss. We need to strengthen our approach to prevent such tragedies. It's an honor to be here with this great family. Thank you all for your support.

The speaker questions why the Manhattan DA, Alvin Bragg, is not taking action against a person who defended themselves. They express frustration that the person is only facing a short prison sentence. Another speaker responds, stating that Alvin Bragg is a justice warrior who prioritizes criminals over victims. They mention other DAs in San Francisco, LA, and Philadelphia who have similar approaches. The focus is on protecting criminals rather than victims.

Speaker 0 expresses anger that there are kids like him in the country who have had to go through this not once but twice. Speaker 1 notes that after shootings such as Parkland, there is typically a moment of expectation that there might be change and actual action, but it fades. He references that pattern after Sandy Hook, after Parkland, and after Uvalde, sometimes with some incremental progress, but nothing seemingly consequential. He says that has to be frustrating as a victim of this. Speaker 0 responds by stating it is not possible to put into words how frustrating it is, and identifies a common denominator inaction by Congress. He argues that time and time again, Congress has failed to show that they actually care about their constituents, and if they did, they would immediately pass comprehensive gun violence prevention bills. Speaker 1 asks how Speaker 0 is doing right now, noting that there is still a shelter in place on campus and in the area. He asks whether Speaker 0 is still in a shelter in place order. Speaker 0 confirms that he is safe in his dorm, but they cannot leave their dorms or buildings. He says physically he is safe and that he has had many friends and family reunited. Speaker 1 asks about Speaker 0’s family, acknowledging that they went through this with him once before and must be concerned tonight. Speaker 0 says the first person he called was his mom, which is the same thing that happened with Parkland. He describes seeing his mom go through those emotions all over again and feeling bad for her. He says it feels like he is 12 again, and it feels like it’s twenty eighteen again for his family as well, with them going through the exact same emotions.

Speaker 0 asks if Baltimore is a safe city, a place to raise a family without fear of murder or rape. Speaker 1, who grew up in Baltimore, says it is safe. Speaker 0 states Baltimore's homicide rate is about 35 per 100,000, five times the national average. The robbery rate is about 8.4 times the national average, and the assault rate is about 3.4 times higher. Speaker 0 asks if that sounds safe. Speaker 1 says it's safe to them and their family. Speaker 0 repeats the homicide statistic and asks if that's safe. Speaker 1 says it's about perception, what you feel as a resident. Speaker 0 says if you're murdered, feelings don't matter, and asks if Speaker 1's testimony is that Baltimore is a safe city. Speaker 1 confirms it is safe to them. Speaker 0 disagrees, citing the murders that occur every weekend.

The speaker wants to focus on the future and preventing heinous crimes from happening to others. She emphasizes the need for accountability and more police officers, also criticizing judges who release criminals too easily. The man who attacked her should never have been on the streets, considering his prior offenses. She fears for other potential victims in cities like Toledo, Columbus, Cincinnati, and Dayton, claiming the streets are being taken over. She wants to be a voice for victims who never received justice. She is upset by the desensitization of people who record attacks instead of calling 911. She hopes for a bill to prosecute or fine those who fail to call 911 during an attack. She feels hopeless about the future and the world her children will grow up in.

We have lost track of 500,000 children who had sponsors in this country. We don't know if they are victims of child labor, exploitation, or other crimes. This situation highlights a hypocrisy among those who claim to protect vulnerable individuals, yet overlook these innocent children. My commitment is to support and protect victims of crime, especially children. I am focused on ensuring their safety, and I will not try to convince those who do not understand this priority. The fact remains that we do not know where these 500,000 children are right now.

The speaker questions why the Manhattan DA, Alvin Bragg, is not taking action against a person who defended themselves. They express frustration at the possibility of the person only receiving a short prison sentence. Another speaker responds, stating that Alvin Bragg is known for being a justice warrior who prioritizes criminals over victims. They mention other DAs like Boudin in San Francisco, Gascon in LA, and Kramer in Philadelphia, who allegedly follow a similar approach. The speaker suggests that these DAs prioritize protecting criminals rather than victims.

The speaker accuses the city council of not considering themselves leaders and not taking responsibility for their actions, likening them to cowards. They criticize the police response time of seventy-seven minutes to an incident involving children bleeding to death. The speaker presents pictures allegedly showing a cop using hand sanitizer and another on his phone smiling during the incident. They claim parents were stopped from entering the school. The speaker expresses disgust and shame towards the council and vows to expose the situation.

The speaker describes "a massive scandal in Washington DC with the doctoring of crime stats," noting that "the Department of Justice under the attorney general is leading the effort to uncover this." "But when we ultimately share the results, results, it will it will stun you." They state that "the extent to which even though DC had the worst crime in America, honestly measured, it dramatically understated how bad it was," and claim "There's even accusations that murders and homicides were reported as accidents instead of murders." "I mean, this is how severe the manipulation of the crime data has been in this city." "And it will all be uncovered, it will all be brought to light." The speaker adds: "I've had a chance to spend some time, as to everyone here, with the police officers in the city." "Members of the public are going up to them and thanking them, just overflowing with gratitude."

The speaker discusses the impact of meeting survivors and first responders in the context of political coverage. They mention spending an hour and a half with victims of mass shootings and express uncertainty about the circumstances surrounding these incidents. The speaker acknowledges that the defense department believes there may be a different explanation for these events and mentions intercepting some information. They clarify that they are not suggesting Hamas intentionally caused the shootings but allude to a previous occurrence.

Speaker urges a safe city and capital, thanking the president and attorney general, and says criminals must understand they won’t get away with it. He cites violent crime by gangs, claims laws are weak, and that “I can't touch you if you're 14, 15, 16, 17 years old and you have a gun.” He recalls convicting someone who shot another person with an illegal gun on a public bus; “Intent to kill? I convict him. And you know what the judge gives him? Probation.” He calls to end “no cash bail” and to challenge the DC counsel, insisting the focus is on law-abiding citizens. He vows the president will “do everything we need to do to make sure that these emboldened criminals understand, we see you, we’re watching you, and we’re gonna change the law to catch you.” He notes “the jurisdiction is through the state attorney general, Brian Schwab” and references a poster about a beaten youth and family court “yoga and arts and crafts.” Enough. It changes today.

Felicia Cook, a DC resident, rails against violence: "You know, they got this old slogan out, they say. If you wanna get away with murder, kill them in DC. That's a slogan. That's a street slogan." She says, "Every time I turn around, there's another shooting, there's a murder." She recounts Marty's disappearance: "On April 23, that's when Marty went missing. I went downstairs and he wasn't there. He went to visit her and he never came back home." She notes he "shot that boy seven times." "My grandson was 23 years old. My grandson life did matter, and I live with that pain every day." "What are you telling the victims? We don't matter. The criminals matter more." "The democrats didn't do it. I stood in front of department of justice." "They heard his story. They knew it. They saw us out there crying. Never did nothing." "Somebody's finally hearing it. The man is doing something right. It's time for it." "Let them killers know you mean business." "Thank you. Thank you so much. Because, at least, it brings some soothing to my pain to know that somebody cares." "And somebody somewhere cares and I don't want this to happen to nobody else."

"We have 500,000 children who had sponsors in this country that we can't find." "We can't find them." "We don't know if they're doing child labor." "We don't know if they're doing sex crimes." "We don't know if they're being exploited." "500,000 children." "There's a level of hypocrisy that everyone that states they wanna protect everyone but innocent individuals who are victims of crimes and children." "I wanna and protect children and innocent people that are victims of crime." "And those who don't understand that, it's not up to me to try to convince them." "I know what my job is, my goal is, and I was clear of that while running and when I became mayor." "Safety means everything to me." "500,000 children, we don't know where they are right now in this country."

The speaker criticizes Democrat governance of major cities, arguing that Democrat-run cities have allowed savage, bloodthirsty criminals to prey on innocent people. They claim radical left judges, politicians, and activists in these cities have adopted a policy of catch and release for thugs and killers. The speaker cites a specific incident in Charlotte, North Carolina, where a 23-year-old woman who came from Ukraine was murdered on a public train, presenting a photo of the victim and stating she was a beautiful young girl with a magnificent future in this country who is now dead. The killer is described as a deranged monster who was roaming free after 14 prior arrests. The speaker asserts that a depraved criminal element of violent repeat offenders is spreading destruction and death throughout the country and insists that the response must be forceful and strong, stating that “they” understand only one language: to be vicious like them. They claim that 24 of the top 25 most dangerous cities in America are run by Democrat mayors, with Chicago highlighted as an example where 50 people were murdered in recent weeks and hundreds were shot. The speaker contends that it is time to stop this madness and that the people of the country need protection, safety, law, and order. A claim is made that it has been proven that safety can be restored, citing Washington, DC, as an example. The speaker describes DC as previously a bloodthirsty, horrible, dangerous place and one of the worst, but now it is a crime-free city, and they assert that this can be done and can happen fast. The speaker states the goal to keep it that way. The audience is urged to seek help from the president, with the message that Chicago needs help and other cities need help. The speaker pledges to take whatever actions are necessary to achieve safety, declaring that they will make America safe again, including the big cities. The address concludes with a call for support and for decisive action to restore safety and order.

Councilman McDuffy and Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz were thanked by the speaker. The speaker then shared that they were present when someone was shot and could have identified the person if they knew them. The police officer responded, stating that the speaker didn't even realize the person was shot and reassured them that the individual likely didn't experience physical pain.

Chicago is depicted as a microcosm of nationwide urban violence, with ongoing cycles of mayhem and a sense that parents and youths alike are not being held accountable. Speaker 0 describes rampant violence in Chicago and argues that the city’s problems reflect broader national issues. The speaker emphasizes the need to catch young people early and to keep doing the hard work to redirect neighborhoods, warning that the devastation has persisted for years and a clearer handle is needed. A mother recounts the incident, saying, “They fought my son. They hit my son first, all in his face. Then they dragged me in the grass and pull my little baby hair.” The message is that accountability has been lacking: “We haven't held these kids accountable. We haven't held parents accountable. No mother should be that helpless and be targeted by children inside of our own community.” The conversation shifts to a call for fear and respect that seems vanished from the community. A participant notes, “Councilman, where's the fear and respect?” and recalls a past environment where neighbors and parents kept youths in check, contrasting it with today’s reality. Speaker 3 agrees, lamenting the loss of discipline and stressing that no child or mother should have to experience such trauma. There is consensus that the issue extends beyond a single incident or school: “this is happening throughout the Chicago public school system.” Bullying is highlighted as a widespread problem, and there is a push for measures to ensure both parents’ voices and children’s voices are heard. If these voices are not heeded, the situation could “overspill into something even bigger,” according to the speakers.
