00:00Thank you, Mr. President. On behalf of the U.S. Park Police, this is the oldest federal police force in the nation. They were formed in 1791 by none other than than President George Washington. They've got the awesome responsibility of protecting our nation's most sacred monuments. The National Mall, Washington Monument, Jefferson Memorial, Lincoln Memorial, Statue of Liberty, and out west, the Presidio and the Golden Gate area.
00:27These folks have tens of millions of visitors a year, the kind of people that President Trump's talking about that come from around the country and around the world to see our see our sacred and learn about our history and our sacred monuments.
00:41They've been doing a fantastic job, but they are so pleased to rank and file that President Trump is now allowing them to enforce the law.
00:48As those of you that live in the city may know that the the circles and the triangle parks that are spread throughout D.C. are actually federal park property.
00:57So the U.S. Park Police also have responsibility for that. These became littered with homeless camps under the Biden administration.
01:04All of you saw that since President Trump's executive order on March 27th, making D.C. safe and beautiful again.
01:12The U.S. Park Police have removed over 70 homeless camps. And President Trump also talked about beautification.
01:18They're stopping and enforcing the laws against graffiti on our monuments. They've removed over 80 specific attacks against our history with graffiti on our monuments.
01:29So they continue to do a great job, whether it's in their vehicles, on foot, or on the mounted police that you see around the National Mall.
01:35And President Trump, they thank you. The rank and file is so happy to be enforcing the law again.
01:39Thank you for your leadership. And they're excited about the announcement you're making today.
01:43Thank you very good. Great job you're doing. Thank you.
